Chapter 349: It's not the Demon Beast that's wrong
After passing through a long canyon, a gourd-shaped valley suddenly opened up in front of you, with a terrain platform in the valley, large trees and wild grass, but all around it were full of cliffs and cliffs, and it was difficult for birds to cross.
"How did you choose such a place?"
Burns looked at the environment around the valley and said with a frown, the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group chose such a place where there was no way out to defend it was obviously a manifestation of a lack of military common sense, which made him very disapproving.
"May I ask who is coming to help?"
While Burns was looking around, two men appeared from behind the bushes near the mouth of the valley, and they were stopped by Burns's own soldiers, who did not dare to approach, but could only ask from a distance.
"Burns, the deputy head of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment, who are you?"
Burns reported home.
"We are scouts of the Dragon's Bard Mercenary Regiment, and the Commander has ordered us to wait here for reinforcements. β
"Where's Bloom?"
Burns's tone was not very polite, because he knew very well who Bloom was, it was Allen's descendant, otherwise a low-born, thirty-year-old senior swordsman would not have become the leader of the mercenary group, of course, if Bloom was not Allen's descendant, he would not have run to this mountain to suffer now. Alan is the person who once humiliated Burns in public, he has always held a grudge, and he doesn't even have any good feelings for all the people close to Allen, if it weren't for the military orders, he would even prefer that all Bloom's people would be eaten by the monster rather than lead the team to the rescue.
"The head of the regiment and the demon ** were injured and are recuperating in the woods. β
"Hmph, deal with a few demonic beasts, and your regiment commander can also be injured?"
Burns's words were full of mockery. But the scout didn't seem to feel Burns' contempt for his own people at all, and only led the way ahead.
"By the way, what monster hurt Bloom?"
Burns asked suddenly.
"Wind Wolf King. β
The Scout answered, but his feet didn't slow down.
"Where is the Wind Wolf King?"
Burns jerked the reins as he realized something was wrong. On the way to the valley, although the corpses of demonic beasts such as wind wolves were seen one after another, the number was far from the extent that a mercenary group could retreat, and now that they entered the valley, they did not even see the shadow of a demonic beast.
"It's in the woods over there!"
The scout also stopped in the distance, pointing to the dense forest not far away.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Burns waved his hand, and the whole group stopped, leaving only the autumn wind rustling through the treetops, and there was not the slightest sound of monsters roaring. The wind wolf is a very vigilant demonic beast, and when such a large team of himself walked in, the wind wolf actually did not react, which was too abnormal.
"Thisβ" One of the scouts said in a heel, and the other said:
"Wind wolves usually move at night, and now is the time for them to rest. β
"Since the Wind Wolf is resting, why are you still staying here and not withdrawing quickly?"
Burns asked with a sneer.
"We... We're waiting for reinforcements from adults, so we can't retreat. β
The scout's gaze flickered.
"Come on, get these two people for me. β
Burns suddenly pointed at the two scouts with his hand and ordered, but the two people seemed to have been prepared, and before the people of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group could make a move, they had already lowered their heads and disappeared into the bushes around them.
"Where's the mercenary who delivered the letter?"
As soon as Burns turned around and found that the communications soldier who had led them the way before was gone, he asked the soldiers around him, and everyone shook their heads, saying that they didn't know where the other party had gone.
"We've been fooled, withdraw!"
Although he didn't know why the people of the Dragon Bard Mercenary Group lied to him, the fact that he was deceived was already very clear, so Burns immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army. But before all the orders could be passed down, there was a loud sound of the sky cracking in the canyon at the mouth of the valley, as if a certain mountain had collapsed as a whole.
The "boom" sounded for a while before it stopped, and then immediately a soldier came to report it.
"Captain Burns, something is wrong, the way we came was cut off by falling rocks. β
The soldier who reported the news said with a panicked expression.
"What!?"
Burns hurried to the front of the line with his own soldiers, only to find that the stone walls on both sides of the canyon had collapsed and fallen off, and the huge boulders had completely blocked the valley's only access to the outside world.
"What is the force that destroys the massive stone wall?"
Looking at the boulders piled up in the canyon in a daze, Burns couldn't imagine what had just happened.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
Seeing that the retreat was blocked, the mercenaries were a little panicked.
"Panic what! You go and scout the neighborhood to see if there are any other passages. β
Burns ordered angrily. The stones blocking the passage weigh tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, which is not at all something that manpower can move away in a short period of time, and if the mercenary group wants to leave as a whole, it can only find another way.
"Don't waste time, Burns, there's only one passage in this valley. β
Before the mercenary in charge of reconnaissance could move, a loud man's voice suddenly came from a distance, followed by a group of men and horses out of the woods.
"Captain Bloom?"
Burns recognized at a glance the identity of the person at the front of the line.
"Master Burns, long time no see. β
Bloom laughed, not looking hurt at all.
"yes. I heard that you were besieged by demonic beasts, and I thought I would never see you again in my life. β
Burns was full of anger when he saw Bloom, but Bloom's unhurried appearance made him have to stabilize his emotions and said with a sneer.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and if you don't come again, I'll really become food in the belly of the monster. β
Bloom said as he walked forward.
"Now that I'm here, Captain Bloom will come with me. β
"The monster is not extinguished, and it may threaten my brother's life at any time, and I can't leave yet. β
Bloom stopped at a distance of fifty paces from the Eagle Mercenary Regiment, shook his head and replied.
"Warcraft, are you talking about those ordinary wind wolves who died outside the valley?"
At the mention of the Wind Wolf, Burns deliberately accentuated his tone to show mockery.
"Haha!"
Bloom looked up to the sky and laughed:
"The mage misunderstood. β
"I don't understand what you mean, didn't you send someone out of the mountain to invite us in to save you?"
Burns' eyes narrowed, from the moment he found out that he had been deceived, he felt that something was wrong, what was Bloom trying to trick himself in?
Now it seems that the mystery is about to be solved.
"That's right, I sent someone to ask you to come in to help, but if it wasn't for the demonic beasts, how could a few wind wolves stop my tens of thousands of elite soldiers?"
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"For three hundred years, our ancestors shed a lot of blood in this mountain, and on the surface it was caused by ferocious demonic beasts. β
There was a sneer on the corner of Bloom's mouth, but the tone was unusually serious:
"But it's not Warcraft that's at fault. Warcraft have lived in Capra Mountain since ancient times, and they have never heard of them hurting people in the outside world, but in the last three hundred years, we Godsacs have been constantly attacked when they have intruded into the territory of Warcraft. β
"Listen to what you mean, we Godsas are not to blame the monsters but to ourselves when we are attacked?"
Burns furrowed his brow, the more he listened, the more confused he became, not knowing what Bloom was trying to say.
"You're half right. We are not to blame the monsters for being attacked, but we are not entirely to blame, only the greed of a few of us can be blamed, they can sacrifice everything for profit, and the lives of our mercenaries are not worth a few coins in their eyes. β
Bloom glanced at the mercenary in front of him and said with a look of lightning.
