The Oathbreakers are the largest, if not the only, underworld force in Ruichi, and theoretically no one will want to go to their trouble in the barren mountains and mountains, and our journey will be very secure. However, the huge amount of baggage was transported on the rugged mountain trails, which was extremely inconvenient, and it would take at least ten days and half a month to reach King Mednachi's base if it continued to be delayed.

After some consideration, they felt that spending less time on the road was the most important thing, and that if they defected late, their tribe might be despised by Maidnaqi. As a result, the endless convoy of oathbreakers finally walked out of the deep mountains and old forests, and drove onto the main road with smooth roads without any scruples.

"If we are blatantly walking on their avenue like this, will the Nords send troops to surround us?" I made my concerns known to the leader of the Oathbreakers.

"It's always been us who surround them on the highway! Give the Nord barbarians ten guts, and they won't dare to do the other way around! ”

The Oathbreaker Leader's tone sounded conceited, and he didn't think that the territorial soldiers who had been cowering in the cities and villages would gather to find their stubble.

Also, thanks to the incessant stirring of the oathbreakers for several epochs, although the Nords are strong and unstoppable, they can only be helpless in the face of a group of guerrillas whose ultimate goal is to engage in destruction, and it is the best situation to be alone.

But the high-profile assurances of the leader of the Oathbreakers didn't let me go, and there was always a sense of foreboding that hung over me. To be on the safe side, I picked a stronger reindeer from the herd and rode it, and took Flotra from the lovely fawn that she was fascinated by.

……

The mana expended on detecting spells along the way was not in vain. I marched to the leader of the Oathbreakers to stay with him, and reported to him what I had just seen.

"Boss. There is a case ahead. ”

"yes, I saw it too. It's strange to have a reindeer flying in the sky. "When the leader of the Oathbreakers saw that it was me, he disappreciated and sold a moe.

Hehe, Santa Claus was born out of nowhere, but it is definitely not a good sign for me to appear, and I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster in front of me.

"A large number of heavily armed unidentified persons are coming up from our flanks."

"Huh?" The leader of the Oathbreakers was taken aback by my information, but he quickly let out a relaxed sigh, "I know you're insecure, but don't be alarmist. Who in Ruichi dares to get along with us? We didn't take the initiative to find trouble, and those Nord barbarians should be thankful! ”

"It's not a Nord army," I tried to adjust the focus of my farsightedness so that I could see more clearly...... The other party should be another group of oathbreakers, if those two things on their heads are real antlers. ”

"Oh, it's my own." After listening to my more detailed report, the leader of the Oathbreakers completely dispelled his doubts, "They must be ambushing here to ambush the passing merchants." In order to save huge expenses on protection money, there are always some short-sighted guys who want money and don't want to die, and they will take the initiative to give us big gifts. ”

"I think you should take it seriously. It's not that simple," I patiently continued to report the sensitive movements of the other party to the leader of the Oathbreakers, "they have now begun to close the encirclement, and we just pretend that nothing has happened. Is it really okay? ”

The leader of the Oath Avoiders waved his hand at me nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it, the Oath Avoiders of Ruichi are all family. Wait until they get close and recognize us. They'll leave in a friendly way, and maybe we'll have a big bonfire tonight with dozens of deer. ”

The leader of the Oathbreakers is convinced that the other party has no malicious intent. Then I can only continue to observe the other party's next moves. Although his opinion is a little blind, there is some truth in it - in my impression. Ruichi's oathbreakers are indeed monolithic, and they have not yet set a precedent for mutual hostility and cannibalism.

However, the next thing did not go in the direction predicted by the leader of the Oath Abandoner, and as the encirclement of the other party gradually closed, the figure of the other party officially appeared in our field of vision.

We can recognize their dress and physical features, and they will certainly recognize us clearly. But the other party not only did not let go of hostility at this time, but made more threatening follow-up actions. Judging from the arrangement of troops, the other side intends to cut us into a long line of convoy and cut it into several sections, divide and surround us, and then swallow or encroach on us.

The threat looms, and the calm and peaceful herd of deer also shows signs of fright. The Oathbreakers finally realized that something was wrong, and they began to spontaneously pacify the deer and keep the ranks from falling apart, and at the same time sent people over to ask the leader of the Oath Avoiders what to do next.

"Calm down! Stabilization! The leader of the Oathbreakers suppressed the suspicions and demanded that the team maintain the status quo, while sending an emissary to negotiate with another group of Oathbreakers of unknown origin.

"Negotiation is just a waste of the best time to act! That's what they're coming for us! So close, they must have recognized us a long time ago! ”

"I don't even have to wonder if you're an oathbreaker, and oathbreakers don't have the same intrigues among themselves as the Nord barbarians."

The leader of the Oathbreakers expressed displeasure at my tone. However, although he was reluctant to think about the bad side, the situation in front of him inevitably made him a little suspicious, "Hmm...... Their behavior is indeed a bit weird, could it be that there is some misunderstanding? ”

In the face of interests, all conventions are a joke. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future, our convoy is carrying a lot of supplies, and if someone robs it, it will really save 20 years of struggle, and I have no reason to let go of this big piece of fat in front of me.

I told the leader of the Oathbreakers what I thought. Listening to my insights, the leader of the Oathbreakers began to feel very anxious, but he still refused to take effective action.

"Let's wait for the messenger's news."

The leader of the Oathbreakers gave a seemingly safe response.

……

Our convoy slowed down and pulled away from the messengers in front of us. The encirclement between the envoy and the other party was already close at hand, and he moistened his voice and shouted out his intention to the opposing camp.

"We are the abothbreakers who came from the south, and we have borrowed your realm, please ......"

The shouting stopped abruptly, and a deer bone arrow pierced the messenger's throat, causing him to completely shut his mouth before he could finish speaking. Sensing the sudden fall of the rider on its back, the panicked reindeer turned around and ran, but before he could take a few steps, he also died from an arrow made of the bones of the same kind.

The sudden situation caused our camp to panic and panic. Both sides are both abandoners, not only have no grievances or hatred, but also have the friendship of compatriots, and now they don't even want to give the opportunity to communicate, this is the rhythm of purifying and killing! No matter what luck the leader of the Oathbreakers had, everything in front of him was enough for him to abandon his unrealistic fantasies.

The brain is racing and I start thinking about what to do. How should we respond to an enemy who is determined to kill? The opponent's formation has been formed, and we have seized the opportunity, and we are already at a natural disadvantage. In addition, our men and horses are more inclined to the nature of the baggage team, and the old, weak, women and children are among them, and the combat strength is uneven, and the other party who came here is not on the same level at all. To make matters worse, we were exhausted by the continuous journey, and we could hardly fight back against the elite enemy forces who were waiting for their work.

The leader of the Oathbreakers was still hesitating, but what he was hesitating about at this time was no longer the question of "whether the other party was friend or foe".

He didn't want to run away, this was the place where their tribe had accumulated over the years, and if they gave it up, they would have nothing. But he certainly understands that in a head-to-head situation, even a heavy victory is a luxury.

Seeing that the leader of the Oathbreakers hadn't come up with an idea, I grabbed his shoulder with my hand and shook it vigorously, urging him loudly, "What are you thinking?" Break out! How much can you walk! ”

"Breakout! How much can you walk! ”

My shout woke the leader of the Oathbreakers, and he finally made up his mind to re-convey what I had just shouted to him to the crowd as it was. The men who were eagerly waiting around him immediately rushed back and forth to tell each other, and passed orders to every corner of the procession.

The line was endless, and the Oathbreaker didn't seem to have thought of designing a flag or anything, and it was difficult to get the order completely and thoroughly into everyone's hands before the situation became irreparable.

So, there was no time to wait for the other detachments to prepare for the breakout, and we took the lead in the operation. The bulky wagons loaded with supplies were reluctantly but decisively discarded, and the reindeer pulling the carts were untied. Everyone around them had already grabbed their weapons, mounted on the reindeer, and lined up a wedge-shaped charge formation, waiting for the next order.

"Which way to break through?"

The betrayal of his compatriots would ruin his inheritance, and the leader of the Oathbreakers, with his eyes furious and confused, decided to take his anger out on his damned enemy. At this time, it was difficult for him to think calmly, and the decision was left to me.

I stood on the broken down cart and watched and listened to all directions, and then returned to the back of the reindeer. Since the other party is prepared, all kinds of traps must be set on the road ahead, and this surprise is not something we can afford at the end of the road. Judging from the current manpower arrangement of the opponent, the opponent has insight into the weaknesses of our team, and the side cut will be their main direction of attack, and we should avoid its edge.

So I pointed my finger to our side. (To be continued......)
