A purple lightning bolt pierced the earth from the clouds, like a silver snake dancing wildly, and the heavy rain immediately poured down, and the water vapor between the sky and the earth was thick. The land, which had been covered with a thick layer of charred ash, was washed away by the rain and became muddy in the blink of an eye.

The grassland is unobstructed, the polar eye can reach dozens of miles, and the clouds appear extraordinarily low, as if directly covering the grassland. The first rain of spring will last for at least half a month to completely moisten the earth.

A brown steed galloped through the rain, breaking through the layers of rain, and immediately the knight let the raindrops the size of beans smash into her face, her big eyes were always momentary, and the black leather armor she was wearing was already soaked, and it was coated with a bright film by the rain.

This knight galloping in the rain is none other than the new member of the Guardian of the Falling Stars, the dwarf female thief - Rona.

In the endless grassland ahead, a small white hill suddenly appeared, and Rona came to the bottom of the mountain and rushed up without stopping.

The hill was no more than a hundred meters high, and it took Rona less than a minute to approach the top of the mountain, and there were already a few knights waiting there on the sunny side of the mountain. There were five of them, four men and one woman, sitting in a circle on the ground, letting the rain pour uncovered, as if they were discussing something.

"It's Rhona here." A red-robed female mage saw the brown horse rushing over, and quickly got up to meet it. Her skin was white, and her long, drenched chestnut hair was a bit of a nuisance on her cheeks, so she pulled her bangs down to reveal the sheep's tooth bracelet on her wrist.

Rona rushed over and turned over and dismounted, without greetings, and directly joined the discussion circle, asking, "Has the enemy arrived?"

"And your front and back feet." A warrior in chain mail pouted in the direction of the mountain, and Rona hurriedly ran to the back of the hill, cautiously poking her head out and looking down.

At the foot of the hill is a ruined wall, and the once prosperous sweet water well has been burned to the ground, leaving only the rock-made foundations of the walls and pillars, and the beams and pillars scattered everywhere, all of which have been smoldered into charcoal. From the outside, it looks like a maze in a jigsaw puzzle, with an eerie bleakness.

To the east of the ruins, six velociraptor cavalry were approaching in a scattered formation. It was clear that this was a scout squad that was wandering around the periphery of the large force.

Rona retracted her head, rejoined the circle and said, "I brought the latest military information this time, as well as specific combat missions, you pay attention to it."

Everyone let out a "hmm", gathered closer, and listened attentively.

"The enemy's army of 15,000 was divided into three lines, and because there were hoplite regiments, they did not advance quickly, a little later than expected." Rhona said as she drew a dagger on the white stone, a simple march map that gradually completed as she sketched it.

On the side of the orc coalition, the Hellfire hoplite corps was the central army, pressing in the rear and advancing in a straight line, and the Talan Wolf Cavalry Regiment was the flank, maneuvering on both flanks of the Chinese army, changing directions once a day. The Velociraptor Cross Legion was the forward force, first 30 kilometers, they sent 20 teams of scouts, and then radiated 30 kilometers to three sides, taking turns to reconnoiter in all directions, and now they encountered one of them.

"Knock them out!" After the introduction, Rona waved her hand heavily, "The command ordered, destroy all scouts, destroy all periphery, as long as there are enemies who have left the team, they will be defeated immediately, and they must be compressed into a piece of cake, which cannot be seen or heard!" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of several guard knights lit up, and they exchanged glances with each other, and when they touched the hill and looked down, the velociraptor scout team was stopping outside the ruins to observe.

The Velociraptor is an extremely fast mount with a ferocious nature, but with average stamina and load, such a mount is best used as a scout for the striker, which is why Tudor sent the Velociraptor Cross Legion forward.

However, the Overseer Cub disagreed, as he envisaged that the Crusaders and Hellfire Legions should be a mix of each other, with the Taran Legion maneuvering and a small number of scouts on both flanks, and not at all at the front. The opponent did not even have a thousand people, and he could not block the frontal attack at all.

This suggestion was not adopted, but if it did, the results would not make a big difference.

In the pouring rain, after the scout team reconnoitred outside the ruins for a while, the troll captain waved his hand, and the five subordinates clamped their legs and slowly drove in a column. The captain stood straight outside the ruins, vigilantly observing the vicinity of the team, and immediately alerted if he found an abnormality.

Scouts belong to the elite class of light cavalry, everyone is a generalist, excellent military literacy, and individual combat power is extremely strong. The troll scouts were lean, wearing leather armor and scimitars, carrying bows and arrows on their shoulders and two javelins crossed behind their backs, forming a figure of ten.

In fact, not only them, but everyone in this legion is equipped with two javelins that are crossed and fixed like this, which is also the origin of the name of the Troll Cross Legion.

Once inside the ruins, the team maintained an extremely slow pace, carefully observing both sides and not letting go of anything suspicious. The velociraptor snorted slightly, raised its sharp claws, and walked silently.

The rain poured over their heads, pooled into ravines, and flowed down their resolute and indifferent cheeks, all the way, only the sound of the rain "whoosh", quiet as a cemetery.

In fact, it is true that the number of people who died here is beyond count, and perhaps those unjust souls are still wandering in this ruin.

As the elite of the regular army, these five people had no mood swings, and after entering the ruins, they first patrolled to the left, reached the end of the ruins, and then turned back, passing through the center of the ruins, and from time to time came to a slightly larger wreckage, where the team stopped a little to scout the wreckage of the house.

Dangdang.

One of the scouts tapped on a stone pier in front of the wreckage door with the tip of his knife, and the rest of the scouts looked and saw that the stone pier was engraved with three lines of characters in common script, elven script, and orc script, and the meaning was exactly the same - adventurer's inn.

There will be adventurer's inns in every town, and it is not surprising that there is one here, and the leading vice-captain looked around again, and after finding nothing, with a wave of his hand, the team continued to march in a column.

However, after taking a few steps, the troll vice-captain paused, raised his right hand into a fist, and the other team members immediately stopped their mounts.

The vice-captain turned his head suddenly, staring at the ruins of the adventurer's inn again, and his brows gradually furrowed. The team members followed his gaze and sure enough, they found an anomaly.

It was pouring rain and sewage was flowing everywhere, but there was no water in the ruins, and a few streams of water disappeared under a pile of charcoal.

"Hmm." The vice captain tilted his head, and the four scouts took the order, slowly took off the bow and arrow, buckled the string, drove the velociraptor under the crotch, and slowly surrounded it from three sides.

The deputy captain saw that his subordinates were all in place, and as soon as he took the reins, the velociraptor jumped into the ruins with all his hind feet. He stretched out his scimitar in his hand and used the tip of the knife to open the coke one by one, revealing the blue brick floor below.

However, after the green brick floor below was washed by the rain, the surface was smooth, obviously a whole, and there was a wide gap next to it, and the rainwater flowed in from here, and it could not be filled.

Outside the ruins, the scout captain looked at this scene, his face turned gloomy, and he clenched the reins in his hand.
