Around midnight, Nata and the other three Wood Elves heard the signal from their nearby companions and immediately galloped away.

Far away, Nata could smell a strong smell of blood, and when she arrived at the camp, she swept her eyes to see four corpses on the ground and a human mercenary who had been shot in both legs and was moaning...

"What's going on?!"

The Wood Elves, who came later, were a little caught off guard by this scene, but Hugo, who gave the signal, replied a little distractedly: "First... Bring people back, I'll talk to the village chief when I get back..."

"Did you do it? This is the human who attacked Ex in the morning?!"

Several elves exclaimed in surprise when they looked at the corpse, and then pulled Hugo to ask this and that, but Nata stepped directly to the corpse of a mercenary with three arrows stuck in her body and had lost her breath, and her expression changed slightly as her eyes swept over the carved feather of the long arrow.

Reaching out and pulling one out, Nata gently pinched the faint notch on the tail of the arrow...

It's him! That's what he did!

Inexplicably, Nata clenched the arrow in her hand, and an impulse appeared in the heart of Gujing Wubo.

She immediately looked around, where was the shadow of that guy in the dark jungle?

Only one of the dead mercenaries was killed by an arrow, and the remaining three were directly hacked to death in complete melee combat, the most exaggerated is the guy who lost one of his arms and legs, and the blood splattered on the ground shows the fierceness of the battle at that time...

Several wood elves have ugly expressions, hunting is hunting, killing is killing, seeing such a corpse, they are not very comfortable in their hearts, and they can't get an answer to Hugo Zhengtai's inquiry... As if frightened, he refused to say anything, and was bent on returning to the village as soon as possible.

After a while, more wood elves arrived here, and immediately discussed how to bring the corpse and the mercenary back, and Nata, who was the first to arrive... But he stood silently aside, just staring at the arrow in his hand, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

On a large tree three hundred meters away, Roddy yawned, never expecting his former mentor to take his arrow in deep thought. At this time, Luo Di was raising his eyebrows and flipping the [prestige bar], muttering with some surprise: "How can this still increase prestige?"

The record of the [Reputation Bar] in his field of vision showed that the reputation of the "Rose Cross" had just been increased by 4 points, and he frowned and thought for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion... Those insatiable mercenaries may have something to do with the hostile forces of the Rosicrucifix.

But as for what kind of force it is, he doesn't bother to guess, he won't die if he doesn't die, this group of people robbed themselves, and they really can't complain about others.

It was getting late, so he closed the panel and lay down on the trunk of the tree to get ready for sleep.

Stretching his waist, Roddy remembered all the coercion and temptation he had just made to Hugo, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

In my memory, Hugo has been a member of the defense team of Elsa Village since 590, because he is upright and always offends people, so he became the captain of the defense in 595, which sounds very hard, but it doesn't matter, he wanders around the village all day long, occasionally sends some small tasks, and his life is quite moist.

However, at that time, the village of Elsa was already open to humans, but now, Roddy is counting on him to be the "bridge" between himself and the wood elves - although the angry Hugo seems unreliable, in Roddy's mind, he is better than the stuffy gourd-like Nata.

"What kind of mercenary group is this plane, is it possible that you still want to start a war with the wood elves?

The trunk of the tree was far less comfortable than the tent, so Luo Di couldn't help but complain a few words at this time, but within a few seconds of saying that, he suddenly sat up with wide eyes, as if his eyes were filled with the light of gold coins...

If I can be the first to open the trade route in Elsa Village, then I won't make a lot of money?!

It's the year 588! Isn't that an opportunity right in front of you!?

Early the next morning.

"Lord Kevin, two of the four teams that went to explore the Wood Elf Village fought them, killing three people, wounding seven, and losing contact with one team of five. Also, this is a letter from the outlying scouts today, an urgent letter from Lord Gazad. ”

The casualties were not low, but they were not unbearable, but the main reason was that the letters in their hands were relatively large - "Gazad" was Gallup's boss at the time.

Kevin yawned, took the letter, and said nonchalantly, "It seems that they can make do with it, so let's start according to yesterday's plan." First go to those three places to confirm the location of the 'big guy', be careful not to kill too many people, and then lead it directly to the village, and let these elves help us 'work'." ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword and pulled a sword flower, and a dense frost power appeared on the sword body, and the temperature in the air dropped a little-"Tell them, when the village is in hand, those elves will dispose of it at will, and they will follow them as they want, whether they live or die." That's it, go ahead and arrange it. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The deputy commander had long been accustomed to such cruel orders, and bowed his head like a puppet to take the order—and in a short time, the noise of the mercenaries became louder, and one by one they shouted angrily to carry out the mission.

Kevin looked at the mercenaries in the distance with a playful look on his face, and turned back to the tent.

Although he has always kept a distance from these subordinates, Kevin has always found a way to balance and easily control them, which can be regarded as a kind of deformed "personality charm". Although his methods are bloody and criticized, since he killed a family of five civilians for a mouthful of food at the age of sixteen, Kevin has long been too lazy to care what others think of him.

In his eyes, human life is really like a mustard, and it should be abandoned.

leisurely flipped through the letter in his hand, and after just a few glances, his brow furrowed slightly-

"Such an inconspicuous archer can take out Gallup, is that too bad luck? ”

Obviously, the "Pit Viper Cross" has gradually investigated the cause of Gallup's death through an intertwined intelligence network, and after more than a month, it has finally locked on to the inconspicuous figure.

"Roddy, Scout Captain, is there a mistake?"

Pouting, a flame suddenly erupted from Kevin's palm, burning the letter to ashes, "Do you want me to speed up the progress of the mission, and you want me to go to this Rausch scout captain to settle accounts, and also find out the news of Akasha? ”

Although he complained, he still walked out of the tent and shouted to the mercenaries who were about to go to the reconnaissance team: "Hurry up the! The three teams set off together to explore the way, complete the task a day earlier, and pay three more silver coins!"

Amid a chaotic cheer, the mercenaries rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the predetermined location.

"I'm in a hurry, I can't hurry, these three things, it's a little tempting to find Akasha. ”

Kevin muttered to himself and went back to the tent.

And this loyal lackey of the "Pit Viper Cross" naturally does not know that Akasha, who has been characterized as a "traitor" by the sect, is at a straight distance from him at this moment... But three kilometers.

The "Iron Horse Mercenary Group", which has only eight members, looks much more downbeat than the "Blood Shield Mercenary Group". They were poorly equipped, and even the tents in the camp were patched, but fortunately, the members of the regiment were relatively friendly and took care of each other, although they were not strong, but since the addition of Akasha, they finally had the strength to try their luck on the outskirts of the forest.

I have to say that having a "Light Priest" in the team is a very powerful boost for this kind of team. Minor injuries and serious injuries as long as they keep their breath, they can eventually heal the wounds under the effect of healing, although the effect will be weakened after frequent use of magic techniques, but it can save their lives and combat effectiveness, which is especially critical for mercenary groups operating in the wild.

At this moment, in the small camp with four tents, Akasha was waving goodbye to her companions who were about to go out hunting—a group of eight people, and the hunting task was not necessary for a woman like Akasha who had no experience of living in the jungle at all, so she stayed at the camp with another companion each time.

"Kaisha, are you hurt? ”

The mercenary who stayed behind sniffed, and there was always an emotion in his eyes that he was trying to suppress - although the veiled woman in front of him was very beautiful, and her figure was even plump, everyone knew that she was the biggest guarantee for the current team to hunt in the Silent Forest, so no one would be disrespectful to her, and they were all very polite.

"I'm a pastor, so of course I won't get hurt. ”

Akasha, who used a pseudonym, shook her head, even though she was wearing a veil, but through the little skin exposed, you could imagine that her face was actually very pale, her dark circles looked like pandas, and her speech was a little weak.

This answer was reasonable, and the mercenary only thought that he was delusional, looked up at the overcast sky, and walked outside the camp to set up a sentry.

Akasha, who stayed here, exhaled slowly, trying to suppress the side effects of anemia - the "flogging punishment" was still going on, needless to say the pain every night, and what worried her even more was... Since the last time he almost lost his life in Holier City, his body has not recovered.

"Let's hurry up and finish the mission and go back..."

Akasha, whose lips had lost their blood, could only pray silently. She couldn't make out her way through the forest, and her only option was to wait for the mercenaries to finish their hunt and return to Kieg - to earn some paychecks, she needed more rest and food. She knows very well... If I survive all day long in such difficult conditions, I am afraid that I will not live long.

With such a sense of urgency in her heart, Akasha couldn't help but worry about her future path: she left after being rescued by that Captain Roddy, in order to have the determination to completely "break" with her past self... But the shadow of the "pit viper cross" and the "rosace cross" cannot fade away after all, and if you want to survive in the future, you must either solve the trouble head-on, or continue to survive, such a problem is imminent...

In the quiet of the camp, Akasha was thinking about such a question, but suddenly she stood up and looked around suspiciously.

The surrounding sounds seemed to disappear all at once.

This feeling is like being suddenly blocked by someone, and I obviously saw the giant tree swaying with the wind, but the original "rustling" sound was not heard for a while... Akasha raised his hand and released the "Divine Shield", and then saw the mercenary who was on guard also rushing over, looking around with a puzzled expression, and when he opened his mouth to speak, his voice seemed to come from a far away.

"What's wrong?"

Akasha shook her head, she didn't understand what was going on, she just instinctively rushed to the palpitations... It's the fear of existence at the top of the food chain.

That is, in the next moment, the forest in the distance seemed to shake in unison, and then I saw hundreds of thousands of flying birds flying towards the sky, and the originally gloomy sky seemed to rise in an instant A black cloud, and the scattered birds made the originally peaceful deep forest like the apocalyptic scene when a natural disaster came!

"That's..."

The mercenary holding the long sword looked solemnly ahead, the birds flew overhead, and after the noise gradually disappeared, a dull humming echoed in his ears - he suddenly thought of something, his face instantly lost all blood, and he turned his head and shouted: "Run! Run!"

"It's a herd of beasts attacking!"
