Chapter Twenty-Four: Abandoning the Pawn to Protect the Commander

Zhou Xun used his shield to tightly guard the priests in the team, but he retreated again and again under the attack of the Kabu throwers. Zhang Juan, Sun Jianye, and Wang Jun cast magic from time to time behind Zhou Xun's shield. Their troops also play their respective roles at this time, those who are good at melee combat are constantly fighting around or defending against the impact of evil wolf fighters, and those who are attacking from afar are constantly attacking with Sun Jianye, and they will retreat as soon as they are seriously injured, while Zheng Haitao closely observes their state and gives treatment and assistance at any time.

As for Cao Dayong, Zhang Debiao, Cai Chang and Wu Tongtong, the four of them arranged the soldiers they brought behind Zhou Xun, and they lined up a triangular attack formation. With Cao Dayong in front, Zhang Debiao and Cai Chang were on the left and right, constantly impacting the monster like a vertebrae, and at the same time, they were also constantly moving around in a roundabout way to avoid being surrounded by the wolf fighters.

And Wu Tongtong has been walking closely in the middle of the three, constantly assisting the three people around him. However, due to the excessive consumption of the triangle combination in the high-speed sports battle, it didn't take long for Wu Tongtong, who was short of magic power, to use some spells with a short casting time but low healing power to treat Cao Dayong, Zhang Debiao and Cai Chang drank the blood rejuvenation medicine that they were usually reluctant to use, and each time they waited for the effect of a bottle of blood rejuvenation medicine to pass, no matter how much blood was left on their bodies, they immediately drank another bottle, this is to let Wu Tongtong's healing technique be used as much as possible on Cao Dayong who rushed in front, as long as Cao Dayong as the vertebrae falls, Their combination will collapse instantly. There's no one who can harass monsters. Zhou Xun and the others will also be quickly surrounded and annihilated by the wolf fighters and Kabu throwers, which will be dangerous several times in the meantime.

Happily, however, in this near-tragic engagement, the Barbarian Fighters and Ka'b Throwers were eliminated one by one, and a lot of good things were struck. Everyone saw the hope of victory at this time, and they completely forgot about the injuries on their bodies, and they were all in good spirits, and their attacks became sharper and sharper. Cao Dayong and the others even took this opportunity to rush to the side of the Kabu thrower.

These Kabu throwers with throwing axes were obviously a little overwhelmed when they saw the enemy approaching, and the throwing axes used for throwing were very short and suffered in close combat, and more than a dozen throwers were killed by Cao Dayong and several in the blink of an eye. Cao Dayong and the others did not covet the slaughter and poke throwers, but immediately penetrated back to their front line. Because just when they penetrated behind the enemy, the wolf knight in front of them was almost unable to stop Zhou Xun because there was no one to stop them.

When Cao Dayong came back, the timing was right, and a front and rear attack on the wolf fighter was formed on the battlefield. Victory beckoned to them.

Zhou Xun and the others withstood the attacks of the remaining Kabu throwers, and in just a few minutes, they successfully eliminated all the wolf fighters under the front and back attacks. Cao Dayong and the four of them called their respective troops and turned around and rushed towards the remaining Kabu throwers, just as Cao Dayong rushed to the side of the thrower and was about to cut it down, the black shadow of the woods next to him flashed, and Cai Chang on his side exclaimed, "Be careful!!" ”

Seeing a white light coming, Cao Dayong subconsciously raised his knife to block, and a huge impact knocked him back several steps in a row. As soon as he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a level 47 orc running towards him. Hurriedly looked behind the half-orc warrior, if it was just one or two half-orc warriors, they still had the strength to fight, but Cao Dayong and the four of them saw at least twenty half-orcs rushing over from the woods.

Cao Dayong immediately turned around and shouted to Zhou Xun: "Quickly cancel the mission, you guys retreat to the room and go back to the city!" ”

The sudden change in things made Zhou Xun a little trance for a while, but fortunately, after all, he was also a professional captain, so he reacted instantly, and ran towards the room in the village with a strong stride, while shouting to Sun Jianye and others beside him: "Hurry up and follow me!" ”

Waiting for Sun Jianye, Zhang Juan and a few of them to follow Zhou Xun to a house, Zhou Xun decisively gave up the task, closed the door, and shouted: "Hurry up and use the scroll back to the city!" ”

"Don't you wait for Captain Cao to do it?" Zheng Haitao asked hesitantly

"Execute the order! Hurry up! They can't come back! Zhou Xun urged anxiously

Zhang Juan, Sun Jianye, Wang Jun, and Zheng Haitao saw that the captain had given a death order, and they successively used the scroll to return to the city. Reels also have a long reading time. Through the window of the house, they saw that Cao Dayong's four men and the troops were surrounded by a group of orc warriors.

Cao Dayong did not choose to retreat when he found the orcs, but chose to continue to advance at the first time, because if he chose to retreat, it would be impossible to complete the task, and second, it might make Zhou Xun and them enter a combat state and unable to return to the city, and what awaited them at that time was the destruction of the whole regiment. He told Zhou Xun and them to go back to the house first, because this would allow Zhou Xun and them to quickly get out of the battle state and use the Exit City Scroll.

Zhou Xun and the others watched as Cao Dayong and the four of them slowly fell under the giant axe of the half-orc warrior. It only takes a few minutes. Let them go from being a winner to a loser, and they have experienced the mood from panic to excitement to despair!

After eliminating Cao Dayong and them, the orc warriors continued to wave the giant axe in their hands and rushed towards the village with a roar. Along the way, he slashed and killed the inhabitants of the village, and soon slaughtered the few residents of the village who had no resistance to it.

Seeing that the villagers who were still serving themselves water and delivering the only bread left in their homes in gratitude for their arrival just now died tragically under the battle axes of the orcs. Zhou Xun and the others felt a burst of heartache, which was even more heartache than seeing Cao Dayong and them fall. After all, Cao Dayong and they will be reborn, and after these inhabitants are wiped out, they will disappear forever and will never appear on this continent again.

After slaughtering the half-orc warriors of the residents, suddenly one of them found Zhou Xun and others hiding in the room, and rushed over with a loud roar, and two people who were slightly closer to him also rushed over, waving a giant axe and chopping up the door, and a few axes cut the wooden door almost fell apart, fortunately, at this time, Zhou Xun and others' task to return to the city scroll reading time has arrived, only to see a flash of white light, everyone has returned to the teleportation array of Serda City.

In the teleportation array of Serda City, Zhou Xun looked at his teammates around him, but fortunately, except for Cao Dayong and the four of them, no one was interrupted at the last moment to read the scroll and returned safely. Looking at his teammates, Zhou Xun sighed and said, "Let's go to the assembly point first, Dayong and they should also come back." Let's figure it out when we meet! ”

An hour later, in the Vinson Bar in the North City District, Zhou Xun and his group of nine people sat at a table. The atmosphere was a bit heavy, after all, this blow was still very big for them.

Touching the cup in his hand, Zhou Xun raised his head and looked at his teammates and said, "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone here, because I didn't fully study the content of the mission, which directly led to the failure of this mission, and made you pay a heavy price for it!" ”

Zhang Debiao said: "Damn, this task is too perverted, at this time, a half-orc can still appear, that is a creature of more than 40 levels, isn't this a bully for the NND mastermind?" Now I don't even have a soldier! ”

Cao Dayong drank all the liquor in the cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said: "It's not a big deal, just come again, what do you apologize!" Who knew it would be so difficult! ”

"En, the four of us are not at a high level now, and the level that has dropped will come back after overtime, it doesn't matter the captain" Wu Tongtong also persuaded

Then Cai Chang smiled and said, "Don't look at me like this, hehe!" I'm fine, just a little experience and a second-order element**, just earn it back! Everything went smoothly, and through this failure, I also saw that our team was really good, and the two captains reacted and dealt with them in place, minimizing the losses. It's much better than the captain of my previous team, so I'm sure I'll earn more than before in the future, haha! A few words amused everyone, and the atmosphere was relaxed!

Seeing that the people who had lost the most said this, Zhou Xun nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "Thank you for your understanding in advance, I will be more careful when I take on tasks in the future, and I won't be so blind." Now let's count our losses this time! ”

Through inquiry, after a while, Zhou Xun said: "In addition to the experience deducted by the four of you, Wu Tongqi dropped a hat, fortunately it is only ordinary equipment, as for all the troops died, this is the most serious!" And we have just handed over this month's indicators to the company, and I believe everyone is very tight on hand. Let's see if we can get together first and buy all the four of them! I will make up for it from the collective fee later! ”

Cai Chang smiled and said, "I don't want this!" My second-order elemental creep is about to be replaced, and now it happens to be hung up, I'll go and see if there is a suitable third-order soldier to buy one, Jianye! Come with me in a while, it's not enough for you to make up for me first, right? ”

Sun Jianye hurriedly nodded and said, "En'en, okay, I still have about 12 gold coins here, and I will hand them all in in a while!" ”

"That's almost, I still have more than 20 gold coins here" Cai Chang showed an expression that counted you as acquaintances, causing everyone to chuckle.
