Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Frontier (1)
Waterstop City is south of Hawkeye City, the second largest city in the Principality of Cairn, and is occupied by the Three-Headed Deer Guild. There are only three roads, two trails, and a duchy avenue from Hawkeye City to Waterstop City.
On a section of the Principality Road, the weeds and shrubs grow from more than a meter high to a height because the roadside has not been treated for many years, making it a good place to ambush and kill.
And now there are indeed hundreds of people in ambush, and they are members of the Three-Headed Deer Guild.
The three people in the lead were three male swordsmen in light armor, and they were talking carefully, looking at the empty avenue from time to time.
"Will the New Century Guild really go through this? If I were to choose a surprise attack, I would definitely choose the path first. Man Number One said in a skeptical tone.
The second man said, "Hey, this is the instruction of President Yinlu, is there anything wrong?"
The third man also chimed in: "Yes, even if we doubt President Yinlu, we shouldn't doubt him. When did he misjudge and he is God in my heart, right? ”
Silver Deer, known as the god of foresight by the three-headed deer, learned that the New Century Guild had sent a knight named Ruosi to lead the attacking team, so he said that this person would definitely take the avenue and send them to ambush here. However, no matter how much they believed in the silver deer, there was indeed no trace of anyone on the avenue now.
Just as someone began to get anxious, suddenly a small group of people appeared in view.
"It seems to be a team of scouts, don't act rashly, our goal is the big team behind them." Said the commander.

He Bing's life skills equestrianism is low-level, so it's embarrassing now. It's a bumpy ride on this road, fart. The strands were grinding out, and the journey was miserable, so he rode his horse slower and slower, leaving him behind the entire scouting group.
The members of the New Century Guild who completed the espionage intelligence mission in Waterstop City are besieged by rival guilds and are now in a dying struggle, including even the Night Walker, one of the guild elders, Iwabai, who is in charge of the New Century Branch of Hawkeye City, decides to send someone to rescue him.
He Bing, who was originally preparing for the team battle paddling, was sent to this team by name for some reason, and was also assigned to the scout team full of warriors.
"Why do we have a mage in our scout team?" A leading scout asked, he was sent by other cities, so he didn't know how low He Bing was.
The person who was asked looked back at He Bing, and it was estimated that the latter would not be able to hear their conversation at the end of the line.
"You don't know? This guy killed one of our team leaders the other day - Kill. ”
"I'll go, no wonder I didn't see that the thug who killed that person didn't come out to do bad things, it seems that he is cultivating silently somewhere." The person who spoke suddenly felt wrong, "Then how can he still join our guild?" Shouldn't you be wanted and then killed! ”
"Our Heartsnatcher personally pulled him over, but now he doesn't care about him and leaves him in the management of Hawkeye City. At this time, Iwabai took the initiative to resign from the position of guild elder and came to the branch guild president. ”
"Oh? What do you mean, Elder Yanbai came here on purpose to deal with this guy. After all, Iwahaku and Killing are well-known friends. ”
"I didn't say anything, after all, the Hearts Snatcher stipulates that members of the New Century are not allowed to kill each other."
"I understand, I understand."
He Bing was riding a horse behind him silently, the meditation technique of the "Book of Darkness" made his physical attributes continue to rise, and his five senses were far higher than ordinary people, like the conversation between the two in front of him was included in his ears word for word.
Unexpectedly, his top boss Yan Bai was a killer friend, and now he is finished, it is estimated that Yan Bai sent him over as a scout, after all, the one who is most likely to die first in every war is the one who explores the path. Iwabai wants to kill him, although the new century stipulates that members are not allowed to attack each other, but killing people with a knife can still achieve his goal.
He Bing sighed in his heart, the road ahead is estimated to be much more difficult.
The grass and trees on the side of the road were lush, and He Bing felt a little uneasy, there were two trails and one avenue leading to Zhishui City. Some people advocate taking the trail, which is more subtle, but the leader of the rescue operation is a knight nicknamed Ruosi, who said that we should abide by the spirit of fearlessness, so we insist on taking the avenue.
Damn, you're not afraid of danger, you come to explore the way, play a knight, I really think you're in the name of faith.
On both sides of the road is a three-meter-high dirt slope, on which the green plants are full of life, but the surroundings are unusually quiet, He Bing relied on his abnormal vision to scan the surroundings, no human figure, but saw birds hovering in the air and did not dare to fall into the nest.
"Stop, there's an ambush!" He Bing tightened his horse's head and shouted.
The entire procession of scouts immediately stopped, their swords drawn or their spears drawn, but there was silence all around.
"Where is the enemy?" The leading knight asked.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"Whoever reported false information, stand up!"
Everyone turned their eyes to He Bing, who also looked at them fearlessly.
"This magician is sick in the brain, just slow down our pace, and blindly report false enemy information."
"Let him go, a low-level magician with fine skin and tender flesh, he can't ride a horse."
The leading knight said to He Bing solemnly: "Where is the enemy?" There is a punishment for falsely reporting the enemy's situation, don't you know?"
He Bing was speechless, didn't this group of fools know that the surrounding environment was abnormal? He didn't know where the enemy was, but there must have been an ambush on the dirt slope. These people are probably targeting the big troops behind, not their small fish, so they didn't come out.
The leading knight began to ask him again, He Bing gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and shouted, "Run!" There is an ambush! There is an ambush! ”
He Bing's legs clamped the horse's abdomen and began to gallop back the same way.
He Bing ran and shouted that there was an ambush, and all the scouts looked at each other, estimating in their hearts that this guy had a nervous disorder. Still afraid of punishment and want to run away.
However, these scouts immediately found that on the surrounding dirt slopes, there were suddenly dense people, all of them were wearing green clothes, so they were hidden in the grass and trees just now, and the target was the large army after the scouts, but after hearing He Bing's shout, they thought they were discovered, so they had to start attacking.
"Run!" The leading knight hurriedly shouted, he saw He Bing's back quickly moving away, and he really regretted not believing him.
The dirt slopes on both sides were filled with archers, and arrows rained down from the sky, turning panicked scouts into hedgehogs.
He Bing turned around, although these people deserved to die, but after sending a few reports to the activity team leader Ruosi Knight, he decided to save them.

The archers of the Three-Headed Deer Guild pulled their arrows again and fired them at the commander's command.
There were only more than 50 scouts left, and they were desperate when they saw the arrows in mid-air, but at this time, the water elements on both sides of the road quickly merged into two tall water walls, and the water arrows were all buffered on them, losing their killing power.
The people on both sides were confused, this was water magic they knew, but this low-level magic could block hundreds of arrows.
"Don't get out of there and come to me." He Bing shouted.
The scouts seemed to see a savior, and immediately ran to He Bing. Regardless of the previous unceremonious execution of him.
He Bing continued to use the second-level water magic water wall to create a tightly defended fortress, and the bow and arrow in the distance lost its lethality to him.
"Kill!" The opposing commander immediately abandoned the long-range attrition method and let hundreds of warriors rush down the slope.
However, He Bing smiled slightly, this was exactly what he wanted.
Wait until these warriors approach the wall of water.
He Bing chanted the incantation: "Level 4 Water Magic - Water Explosion Release!"
