"We're almost ready to go," Luca, the leader of the cavalry squad, pulled out the "king", the horse that Uncle Russell personally gave to Avi became more and more vigorous, and the tacit understanding with Avi became deeper and deeper, and Avi was able to understand what the other party was saying at some point, "If we don't set off again, we haven't arrested that person after they come back from their mission." ”

Avi sat on the side of the training ground, where there were a lot of armor for war horses, and they would usually wait until they went to the battlefield to put on these armor for war horses. Avi took the armor of the "king" and slowly walked towards Luca. After Field's predecessors and Patrick's seniors left the Holy Light City for a while, the task of training the recruits of the Potato Mercenary Regiment was handed over to Reeves, Luca, and himself. I also went from knowing nothing about training to knowing a little about it, so in addition to resting in the past few days, I have gained a lot of new knowledge.

"I shouldn't be back that soon, right? I've just regained a little strength. The big-nosed fan lay lazily on the side, he didn't care about anything, only eat, drink, sleep and sleep.

Avi put on the armor for the "king", and then stepped on the warhorse, "Well, we planned to leave today before, don't linger any longer." ”

Avi and Lukka led sixty mercenary cavalry to the northern woods of the Holy Light City. Many peasants on this part of the road said that there was indeed a strange man there, who was so elusive and so powerful that he once pulled out a small tree on the spot and threw it at some hunters who wanted to go up the mountain to hunt. The frightened farmers who lived in the lower part of the mountains hurriedly moved, and not many hunters dared to go up to the mountains to hunt.

Some villagers also said that they had seen soldiers from other countries appear, but they did not know which country it was, and they did not receive any response when they reported the incident to the church. However, the soldiers only appeared a few times before disappearing into the mountains and forests.

Avi asked Lukka to order all mercenaries not to act recklessly if they encountered soldiers from the Kingdom of Salins. After all, the Kingdom of Sallins is also a friend who helped the Church Alliance win the Battle of the River, and I don't know if they are coming for that guy with strange powers.

After a morning of searching, the Potato Mercenary Regiment had already divided the entire forest area into three parts - the front forest area, the high forest area, and the deep forest area.

The former forest area is where the potato mercenary group is temporarily stationed, and Avi and Lukka have already set up some improvised camps here, and they may live here for the next few days, as a base camp to search for that person. The high forest area is located near the northeast, where the terrain is high enough to send mercenaries to observe the forest. Sometimes a casual movement can startle the birds that were originally perched among the trees, but this high point can clearly see the situation in other forest areas. Avi planned to let these reconnaissance mercenaries see the situation in the forest area, and then ride over as soon as possible to inform their companions in the base camp here, and then pursue them.

The deep forest area is close to the border between the Duchy of Mageni and the Kingdom of Cose, and this large area of mountains and forests is also a neutral buffer zone between the three countries, if the target of that mission escapes to other countries, then Avi has no choice but to give up the mission, after all, the head of the mercenary house, Ernest has already sent someone to remind Avi that if he crosses the border in order to hunt down someone, it will involve political issues.

Big Nose Fan walked slowly, and when he arrived, the sun was about to set, just in time for dinner at the camp.

"Isn't it just to find someone, who can be used to camp and plan or something. Fan picked up a bowl of beef broth and slowly chewed on the hard beef chunks inside the broth.

Avi looked in the direction of the forest area, "This is because Senior Fei De trusted me to hand over this task to me, I have to complete it well!"

Fan drank the broth, wiped his mouth and said, "It's better to arrest the wild people than to plan how to join Carrie and the others, but we" Before he could finish speaking, Avi continued.

"I know, just wait. ”

In fact, Avi also wanted to try to listen to the sounds of the animals in the wooded area with his own ears, and maybe he could hear the whispers of the animals. After most of the mercenaries had fallen asleep, he walked alone in the direction of the deep forest area.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains and forests, and the incessant "buzzing" sound cannot be transformed into an intelligible sound, but it makes Avi have several more bags on his body. Occasionally, an owl or two whispered in the trees, and Avi could hear the owls, but they didn't succeed in converting them into something she could understand.

He hadn't gone far before Squad Leader Luca quietly approached behind him, "Captain, it's so late, aren't you going to bed?" Luca's voice came from behind Avi, and Avi noticed that he was too focused to hear the sounds of other animals, and ignored the people behind him.

"I was thinking about something. ”

"If the captain can trust me, he can tell me. Avi turned around and saw Luca, who was only six years older than him, but was much more mature than himself in dealing with others, and many times Luca was exercising the duties of a cavalry squad leader, but he was not as good as the other party.

Avi took Luka's hand and turned around and walked in the direction of the camp, "I trust you, it's just that what I'm thinking about is complicated, forget it." ”

The two of them had barely walked a few steps when a loud shout came from the wooded area behind them. And they could feel a few people running towards them, as if they were running for their lives. Avi and Lukka hurriedly pulled out their weapons and hid behind a large tree, looking into the dark forest. Avi couldn't see anything, but with a sense of where the sound was coming from, the people would immediately appear where they had just stood.

Lukka had a small torch in his hand, but he also extinguished the fire so that it wouldn't be discovered.

The cries were getting closer, "Run!!" Avi could clearly hear someone screaming, it was supposed to be a dying cry, and there was despair in it.

Within a few seconds, only one of the three people was left shouting, and the voices of the other two were gone. The last man suddenly stopped shouting as he approached the tree where Avi was hiding behind him, as if he had just been bitten by a leopard. Avi could feel a beast knocking down the man across the tree just now, and he immediately held the Quenching Knight Sword and golden shield in front of his chest, wanting to slowly walk out and find out. Luca, who was standing behind another tree, also holding a dagger, slowly approached Avi while trying to light the torch to see what it was.

But when Avi wanted to leave the big tree and look out, a sharp weapon was thrown from the darkness, but fortunately, the golden enchanted shield in Avi's hand reacted immediately, resisting the weapon that flew towards Avi's face, it turned out to be a short knife! Avi immediately stabbed his knight's sword in the direction of the darkness in front of him, but he didn't touch anything. By this time, Lukka had approached with a small torch, and as soon as the light shone in front of Avi, the people who appeared in front of him stunned both of them.

A man with extremely strong arms, but short legs and a short neck was tearing at a corpse on the ground, like an orangutan picking open a pumpkin with his bare hands.

The other party also raised his head, and his red eyes were staring at Avi. Avi was so frightened by the other party's strange body and movements that he stood still, and Lukka quickly pushed Avi away, because while Avi was in a daze, the strange man was tearing off a rib from the corpse and throwing it at Avi.

The strange man howled like a wild boar, but Avi could understand the beastly voice of the man—"Ah, I'm so uncomfortable!
