As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew up, and suddenly the sand and rocks flew away, and it was a mess. Rui also activated the shadow magic at this time, and the sky was obscured by a layer of black mist, as if it was night in an instant. For a moment, Fern could only see his closest companions, and the mercenaries who were a little farther away could not see them.

Fern couldn't see where Miles was, so he had to shout ahead, "Run, run Miles, run with everyone!"

Only Miles' shout was heard, "Everyone retreat in the direction of sunset until they see the first woods!"

Then the mercenaries all began to retreat quickly towards the left rear, and one mercenary after another brushed past Fern and his companions.

"Even the code. Fern thought to himself as he leaned close to his companions and commanded, "You guys run with me, I'll be as slow as I can, Stan you break off, protect Ness and Rui, they're casting spells, I guess it's not fast, the direction is behind the left." ”

"No problem, don't worry. Stan draws his sword and sits it at the rear.

"Alright, run, while they can't attack us yet. With that, Fern took the lead and ran out, and Ness and Ray kept their magic as good as they could, while trotting after Fern.

Dias heard the sound of the crows running away, and yelled angrily, "What are you waiting for, release me arrows!"

The scouts couldn't see where the Crow mercenaries were, so they had to randomly place their crossbow arrows in front of them. But under the force of the strong wind, the arrows only flew forward not far before they were blown into the air by the wind.

"Useless stuff. Dias was annoyed and scolded, "Charge me, charge forward!"

The heavy knights and scouts on both sides slowly pushed forward while covering the wind and sand in front of them with their hands. The horses could not be well controlled by the knights in the strong wind, and they collided with each other, and suddenly some knights were hit by their own people, and they were subject to heavy armor, and they could not get up for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, the crows had already run into a wood, and after stumbling through the woods for a while, they finally stopped. Miles and a few of the mercenaries gathered around to discuss what to do next, and the other mercenaries were counting the number to see if any of their companions were left behind.

Fern and the others rushed up at this time, and Ness and Rui hurriedly found a dry grass to sit down and rest, the violent magic just now had consumed a considerable amount of their mental power.

"We need to make a quick decision on what to do next, those knights won't be long after them, and our magic won't last long. Fern looked at Miles anxiously.

"I know......" Miles frowned, walking back and forth, and then he suddenly remembered something, and looked up at Fern, "You saved us once, we are very grateful, but you are not from the Crows after all, I don't want to implicate you, you can run first now, we will break the back for you." ”

Rui sat on the ground and sighed, whispering to Ness, "Look, this fool of Fern will definitely give up this good chance to escape." ”

Fern was about to say no to Miles's kindness, but suddenly the experience of the past jumped into his mind, and his companions died in front of him one by one in a similar wood. He looked back at his companions, Ness and Rui were still sitting on the ground, and Stan was standing to the side, looking warily behind him.

"I can't decide their lives and deaths at will, and I can't make the same mistakes again. Fern thought bitterly. He walked over to his companion and slowly crouched down, "What do you think, should we continue to face the enemy with them, or should we break through on our own?"

For a few seconds, no one answered Fern's question, and Miles continued to discuss with the other mercenaries. In the end, it was Rui who broke the silence first, "If we said that we would run away on our own, would you agree?"

Fern lowered his head, but immediately raised his head again, "If there were the most people supporting this plan, I would agree." ”

Stan suddenly interjected and said in a firm tone, "I won't run away on my own, the Crows are also my companions, and I will live and die with them!"

Ness glanced at Rui, and then expressed her thoughts, "Let me run away on my own despite the fact that there are so many Crows, I don't think I can do it." After saying that, she looked at Fern with a determined look in her eyes, as if to express her determination.

Rui shrugged helplessly, "Well, it seems that this time we gave up the chance to escape." She looked at Fern and nodded, "Now that Stan and Ness have chosen to fight with those mercenaries, we don't need to worry about it anymore. ”

"Thank you......" Fern looked at his companion gratefully, not knowing what to say for a moment, so he stood up sharply and turned to walk towards Miles.

"Miles, we have decided to face the enemy with you. Fern's left hand rested on the hilt of his sword, and his right hand clenched into a fist, "Now let's find a way to get out." ”

Miles patted Fern on the shoulder, then glanced at all the mercenaries. "It's not easy, if we continue to move forward, as far as I know, this area is the sphere of influence of Doyle's army, and Dias will definitely use their own contact information to inform the other squads to intercept us in the front, and when the time comes, they will be flanked in front and back, and the whole army will definitely be annihilated. ”

"What if he hadn't informed the others, and was their contact so effective?" Fern was a little incredulous. "Or maybe there aren't any other Doyle troops nearby?"

"It's Doyle's usual tactic, and it hasn't changed for hundreds of years. Stan joins the conversation, and he says with a serious expression, "In a battle, in addition to the main battle unit, there are often two or three detachments on standby, and if there is a situation, they will quickly join the fight, and Doyle's horse is very fast. ”

"Hell," Fern cursed, "but this is the woods, and no matter how fast their horses are, they can't play in the woods." ”

"But they can enclose this woods and slowly shrink the encirclement. The hunter leaned against a tree with his hands crossed.

"Do they have enough people to surround the woods?" Fern looked at Miles and then turned to Stan.

"With the size of the pair just now, the size of the other detachment will not be too large, so there will definitely be a gap. Stan rubbed his chin and uttered his speculation.

Fern was lost in thought, he wanted to take the risk and keep going, but Stan's words let him know that they would die if there was a real blockade ahead. But what else can you do if you don't move forward?

Miles and the other mercenaries couldn't think of a good way to do it, so a group of people had to wait where they were, and the time was getting less and less.
