"Now that you know you're scared, when you make the decision to sneak into the Duke's Palace, you should be prepared for the worst. Or did you kill everyone in this village just because of a whim-spur expedition?" The mercenary leader still did not stop verbally attacking the witch, he was still worried that the witch had the ability to resist, so he blamed her for killing the villagers, trying to destroy her psychological defenses.

"No.... That's not true.... I'm just trying to save my mother, and that bastard duke of yours has poisoned her, and I have to get the antidote! And it's you who killed them! and your men!"

"Kind Miss, what do you think you need most as a hunter?" the mercenary leader suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"It's about knowing the habits of your prey. The leader of the mercenaries did not wait for the wizard's answer, and showed a smile that made the witch shudder, "I have already investigated what kind of person you are, and you will definitely not die when you see these villagers, right? ”

"No... You... You're lying..."The witch explained to herself in a panic, it seems that the words of the mercenary leader did have an impact on her psychology, in fact, even if the mercenary leader didn't say anything, the witch couldn't hold on, the bloody massacre that just happened in front of her eyes caused a great psychological impact on her, and seeing these corpses lying in a pool of blood, the eldest lady had an urge to vomit.

"Kyle, you've almost had enough, hurry up and get back to your errands. The bald man in the left rear of the mercenary leader complained with some dissatisfaction, he was the oldest in the team, and his status in the mercenary squad was second only to the leader, at this time he was already tired of his chattering leader, his captain named Kyle always liked to say a bunch of useless things, in fact, as long as he wanted, the matter could be solved immediately.

"Okay, get her arrested, kill the girl in the back by the way, and don't leave any trouble. The mercenary captain named Kyle realized that his tirade had upset his men and waved his hand, so the group behind him all gathered around.

Hearing that they were going to kill the girl, the sorceress finally came back to her senses from her trance, but it seemed too late. The mercenaries had already gathered around, and the bald man, who had just finished the final blow on the dragon, stretched out his thick palm and grabbed at the skirt of the wizard's clothes.

"Boom !!!!!!" A huge explosion suddenly came from behind the bald man, followed by a blazing air wave and a shock wave that could lift people away, the bald man didn't even have time to turn his head, he was overturned by the air wave, and fell heavily on the ground in front of the witch, this collision directly broke the bald man's nose bone, and blood slowly dripped from his collapsed nose, but the bald man was an experienced mercenary after all, even in this sudden attack, he did not panic, immediately backhanded the ground, stood up on one side, and then pulled out the long sword he wore at his waist, and posed in a facing posture in the direction of his attack。

There was no enemy in front of the bald man, only a piece of charred earth and a huge explosion crater, Kyle, who was still chattering just now, has now become a charred corpse, the explosion just now directly burned his clothes, the original oily leather armor, now only the remains of a sling are left hanging on his shoulder, his skin is completely burned black, his expression is distorted, it seems that he has suffered some great torture in his life, in fact, his whole arm has disappeared, God knows where it was blown up, and his body still emits a scorching smell。

The squad that was still full just now was left with only five people who were not affected, and the rest of the people were dead and wounded, some of them were lying on the ground holding their charred bodies and howling in pain, some of them were out of breath, the bald man felt a piercing pain in his back, he knew that he was also injured in the explosion just now, his back was severely burned, if not treated in time, it would be suppuration, infection, and the consequences of death.

"This can't ......" The bald man forcibly resisted the pain in his face and back, and concentrated on guarding his surroundings. In order to carry out the task of capturing the daughter of the Cauchy family, they specially brought a spell detector, if someone urged the spell, they would find out immediately, but Kyle with the spell detector didn't even have a chance to warn, he was already burned to a charred corpse, feeling the free fire element in the air, the bald man understood that this was undoubtedly an extremely strong fire element spell, and it generally took a long time to launch a spell of this strength, but why did Kyle not warn at all? That guy has always been the most alert and cunning, otherwise he wouldn't have been the captain of this team.

"The secret forest, it is indeed much more dangerous than imagined..."The bald man's heart sank, such an abnormal thing has happened, then there is only one explanation, they are not hunters now, but have become the prey of something terrible, they may be facing a mage who can instantly launch a fireball spell of this intensity.... Thinking of this, fine beads of sweat appeared on the bald man's head, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

"No....... No! wolf.... Wolves!" A mercenary who had just recovered from the explosion suddenly screamed, and immediately ran away, the bald man looked in the direction of the mercenary, and the fact that even a seasoned mercenary like him felt his scalp tingle appeared in his eyes.

Pairs of dark green eyes emerged from the bushes and the dense forest in the distance, and with them appeared the wheezing of wild beasts and the heavy smell of blood, a pack of wolves, roughly at least thirty of them.

The wolves from nowhere almost surrounded them, except for a gap in the north.

"Run!" The bald man ran away without saying a word, and the mercenaries, who were leaderless and more than half of the casualties, had no intention of fighting at all, and when they saw such a terrible scene, they scattered almost instantly.

Before leaving, the bald man also glanced in the direction of the witch, who no longer had the strength to move, and sat on the ground, looking at the wolves around him in horror.

"The eldest lady who died under the mouth of the wolves, hehe, this fate is at least a little better than falling into the hands of the duke. The bald man pouted, he was not in the mood to carry out any more missions now, all he hoped was that the wolves had already set their sights on the two women and the corpses that had fallen to the ground, and they could forget about them who had fled in a hurry, and he decided to go to the northern countries to join his distant relatives after this escape, he did not dare to face the Duke's anger after the mission failed.
