There was a desperate atmosphere in the first-class carriage, full of scorch marks and wet water stains, but the survivors had no regard for decency, and curled up under their seats with their heads in their hands, shivering.

Roland heard someone sobbing quietly, someone praying for the gods' protection, but compared to the passengers who didn't have time to return to the carriage, their situation was already worth celebrating.

The grass on both sides of the carriage was dappled with blood, and none of the passengers who had previously gotten off the train were slaughtered. The bodies of the deceased were also stripped naked by the murderers, and everything from wallets and jewelry to underwear became the spoils of the greedy and cruel wild elves. A robber with a young face, who had just been peeled off the corpse, with blood and body temperature still remaining, gathered around him in a grand manner, and beat his chest with both hands into fists and screamed like a wild beast in ecstasy.

The wanton slaughter of the wild elves seems to prove that they do not take humans or other creatures that are not of their own race seriously, and do not kill them mercilessly, let alone have any "imperial compatriots". Perhaps in their eyes, the huddled and shivering passengers in the train are like hares hiding in the bushes, whose only value is to hunt for their amusement.

At this moment, there was a roar in the air that looked like an eagle and a horse, which attracted Roland's attention, and he looked through the window, and sure enough, he saw several vulture horses landing.

He had long heard that the Komi steppe was rich in vultures, that at least sixty percent of the individual mounts of the Yashan Empire's air force came from the pastures where the vulture horses were domesticated, and that the garrison of Harrenburg, the provincial capital, was also equipped with tens of thousands of vulture horses, so that sentries could patrol the prairie with an area of more than two million square miles.

When they first saw the vulture cavalry, the passengers trapped in the carriage thought that a patrol from Harrenhal had come to the rescue, and excitedly rushed to the window to call for help. However, when the vulture cavalry landed, the surrounding wild elves urged the horses to gather with them, and saluted the vulture horse knights led by their unique national traditions, and the travelers suddenly felt half cold, and woke up to the fact that it was not the rescuers, but the leader of the robbers.

On the back of the vulture horses were all wild elf riders, most of whom had ranger or barbarian professions, and were clearly the elite of this group of hunters. One of them held high the black flag fluttering in the wind, which aroused Roland's curiosity, and after a careful look at it, his face could not help but change suddenly.

At this time, someone in the first-class carriage already recognized the flag, as if they had seen a ghost, and exclaimed "Revenge Corps"!

"Oh my God! Look at that black flag, it's really a 'revenge corps'! ”

"It's over, it's completely over! When we meet the 'Revenge Corps', everyone will not be spared today, and everyone will be a dead end......"

A desperate lament echoed in his ears, and Roland reluctantly suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned around and asked Anthony: "What is the origin of the Revenge Corps, and why are everyone so frightened when they see their banner?" ”

"It's strange if you're not afraid! Ordinary bandits loot trains for money, and passengers are in their eyes meat tickets that can be exchanged for a lot of gold coins, and usually do not kill innocents indiscriminately, but the 'revenge corps' is fatal, so no matter whether the train is a nobleman, a rich businessman or a poor errand runner, they will all be killed! That's right, this group of terrorists is so perverted! Anthony smiled bitterly, and then explained to Roland the origin of this group of murderers: "The 'Revenge Corps' is a rebel army active in the Komi steppe, most of the members are from the wild elf tribe, they are proud of their bloodline, their style is cold and strong, they hate humans, and even shout the slogan of 'kill all humans', which is the most extreme among the many rebel organizations in the empire. ”

Roland is not surprised by the extreme behavior of the "Revenge Corps", there are similar terrorists on the planet. What made him even more concerned was the flag of the Revenge Corps, the black flag painted a very familiar symbol in contrasting white paint - a heavy sword that cut through the chains!

"Those wild elves who kill innocents indiscriminately, do they really know that they are flying the Koras banner?"

Just when Roland was secretly wondering, the leader of the wild elves approached the first-class carriage on a vulture horse, peeking into the window with malicious intentions, his eyes shining with a hint of magical light, and he was clearly performing detection arcane.

Anthony looked at the leader of the wild elves through a glass window, and said thoughtfully: "The wild elf outside the window with a white wolf head tattoo on his chest and gold earrings has a somewhat familiar face...... It seems that his portrait has been seen on the wanted post. ”

"That guy is the fourth-ranked leader of the 'Revenge Corps', nicknamed 'The White Wolf', a ruthless warlock, and he was the culprit who set fire to Harrenhal Bridge last year! I bumped into me today, and the good days of this villain getting away with it are over! Palatina's pretty face was shrouded in murder, and her right hand clenched her sword.

"It's rare for a warlock to fly with a vulture and stay focused on casting spells." Roland opened the "Pupil of Fate" to scout the white wolf, and confirmed that the opponent had 3 barbarian class levels in addition to 9 warlock levels, no wonder the physique was obviously stronger than ordinary warlocks, and flying shirtless on a vulture horse in the cold wind in the harsh winter did not prevent spell casting.

At the same time that Roland observed the white wolf, the wild elf warlock had already flown to the shattered car window opposite, and issued a murderous declaration of revenge in a slightly jerky imperial official language.

Roland could barely keep up with him, and could hear him harshly accuse the Empire of building railways, roads, and bridges on the prairies where the ancestors of the wild elves lived without the permission of the natives, nationalizing mines, grasslands, and rivers, selling them to merchants from the Holy City, allowing the fat-brained vampires to build fences, enclosing large tracts of land as private property, forbidding the wild elves from grazing, fishing, and hunting on their own land, and forcibly driving them into the depths of the jungle. When the wild elves rose up and tried to defend their living space, the imperial government immediately sent troops to brutally suppress them, set fire to their tents, tortured their children, abducted their wives and daughters, raped them, and sold them to slave traders who followed the army eastward......

The White Wolf recounted the crimes committed by the Imperial military and the greedy merchants against the Wild Elves, and of all these crimes, the most unbearable of all them was the following declaration made by the Imperial authorities in a government proclamation:

"From the day the province of Komi was incorporated into the administrative territory of the Assanian Empire, the wild elves living in this land automatically became subjects of the empire, and while enjoying the right to be protected by the state, they should also bear the obligation to pay taxes to the state."
