Chapter 125: Dawn
The soldiers and mercenaries of the Fog Castle chased Baggio, Anna and Christine very tightly, originally Anna merely thought that they should pass through several free city-states, and then enter the territory of the Boulder Castle, the lord of the Boulder Fort is the Half-Winged Emerons, and the Boulder Fort is probably the strongest in the entire southern free city-state, and the strength of Will Berg of the Fog Castle is the same. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you step into the boundaries of Boulder Castle, then the people of Fog Castle will definitely not dare to set foot easily, but this suggestion was completely rejected by Christine, Christine said that in Boulder Castle, there are many Assassins of Oath Blood, if you go there, you can avoid the soldiers of Fog Castle, but you have to face the more terrible Oath Blood Assassin Master.
So the final result of the discussion between Baggio, Anna, and Christine was to first head west, over the mountains, and then into the branches of the Vegal Mountains, and finally reach their destination, the Calus Pass in the Free Frontier.
It was very difficult to climb over the mountains, which were full of wild beasts and the terrain was dangerous, but the three of Baggio had to take a risk, believing that if they entered the mountains, the soldiers of Wuling Fort would definitely give up the pursuit, after all, the road was too steep.
But when the three of them walked in the mountains for two days, they found that all this was too simple, it turned out that in this world, there are really such lifeless mercenaries, a team of mercenaries led by an elephant orc named Barot, has been chasing Bagio, Anna and Christine without giving up.
This team of mercenaries is different from other mercenary groups, these mercenaries, except for the leader Barot, the rest of the members are all gnolls, which is very rare in the entire Yarrow continent, the gnolls are usually an uncivilized race, their race is barbaric and backward, although most of the gnolls can understand human language, but few of them can fully speak human language.
"Those gnolls are good at walking in the mountains, let's not fight them here!" Anna shouted to Baggio and Christine, as the two of them had drawn their weapons, as if they wanted to fight the gnolls mercenaries.
"They're chasing too closely!" Baggio shouted.
"Leave them alone! Keep going, if you want to fight, find a place with a slightly gentler terrain to fight, it's too dangerous here!" Anna also shouted, Baggio gritted his teeth and glanced at Christine, Christine was also at a loss, both of them nodded, and then continued to follow Anna through the mountains.
The speed of the gnolls is very fast, and several of them have already caught up with Bagio and the others, but before they can get close to Baggio, Anna and Christine have thrown several throwing knives in succession, some of the gnolls have been stabbed to death, and some of the gnolls have fallen down the mountain.
"Leave them alone! Leave them alone!" Anna continued to shout at Baggio and Christine, who did not answer, and walked cautiously, because if one was not careful, they could fall into the deep valley.
Baggio, Anna, and Christine continued on their way, and the gnolls did not dare to chase too quickly when they saw that several of them had died tragically, so they ran and chased each other, and neither group of men rested until late at night.
"Roar!"
At night, there was a terrible roar in the mountains, and on such a night, Baggio and the others did not dare to move forward, and the jackals did not dare to chase after them, so both sides found a place to rest for the time being, as if they had been discussed in advance.
"What's that sound?"
Christine looked around nervously, although she had assassinated countless lives in her assassin career, Christine, as an assassin, rarely spent nights in such a no-man's land, after all, the targets of assassins were usually in places where there were people.
"Mountain ghosts!" Anna whispered, dealing with the campfire.
On such a desolate night, the light of the fire was particularly important, this time they camped in the mountains, the terrain itself was rugged, and it was impossible to find the roots needed for the campfire in such a place, so Anna used a flame pot as the material needed for the campfire, and Anna also made a simple bracket at the bottom of the campfire to prevent the campfire from slipping on the sloping ground.
"What is a mountain ghost? Yes...... Undead?" Christine asked, uneasy.
"Mountain ghosts are not undead, they can be classified as cannibals, they only live in the mountains, usually as individuals, and when they encounter mountain ghosts, it is better to escape. Anna explained with some boredom, because she realized that in addition to Christine, Bagio was also full of curiosity about creatures like mountain ghosts.
"It's better not to meet such creatures...... I'm better at wrestling with people...... I'm not good at fighting monsters. Christine said with a frown.
She stroked her summoning bracelet, she hadn't summoned her demon pet Drafania for the past few days, presumably Drafania was already a little angry, but this was also something that could not be helped, after all, such a journey was too dangerous.
"Why are these people chasing you so closely......" Baggio looked at Christine, although the three of them have been acting together in the past few days, Bagio and Anna don't know much about Christine's identity.
Christine heard Baggio ask herself like this, she froze a little, she looked at Baggio, and then at Anna, Christine lowered her head, gritted her teeth, she decided to confess everything about herself to Baggio, after all, the two of them saved their lives.
"My name is Christine...... I'm from Saruli Bay...... I'm an Assassin of the Blade,...... "Christine begins to tell her story to Baggio and Anna......
After listening to Christine's experience, Baggio told Christine about himself, and Baggio felt that since Christine was honest with herself, he should also tell Christine about this, and both of them sighed at each other's suffering.
"So, your final destination is the Free Frontiers?" asked Baggio softly.
"I ...... There's nowhere else to go......" Christine said sadly, bowing her head, and Baggio smiled bitterly, how could he not be the same himself.
On this night, Bagio wanted Anna and Christine to have a good rest and be in charge of the vigil himself, but the two strong women would never agree to such an offer, so in the end, the three of them took turns to keep vigil and survived the night with difficulty.
As soon as the sun rose on the second day, Anna urged everyone to leave quickly, the mountain ghosts would not leave their caves during the day, so the best time to hurry during the day, the three of them hurried again, and the chasing jackals also started to catch up without stopping.
The two sides continued the game of chasing each other until they came to a flat area, where the three of them decided to get rid of their pursuers once and for all, and then on the road.
It was the leader of this group of mercenaries who led the gnolls to catch up, the elephant orc Barot, this elephant orc, was able to follow the footsteps of the jackals and catch up with Bagio and others, for this, Bagio They had to admire this guy called Barot.
Barot was an experienced mercenary leader, and when he came to this flat place, he immediately sensed that Bagio and the others wanted to fight him and his gnolls mercenaries here.
"Come out, weak humans, since you have chosen this place as your burial place, then I will fulfill you!" Barrot roared.
"Move!"
Suddenly, Baggio jumped out from behind a rock, raised his left sword, and stabbed Barot in the forehead, and Barot screamed and swung his two-handed sword, ricocheting Bagio away.
"Die!"
After Baggio, she was followed by Christine, who raised her curved sword and flew towards Barot, who blocked Christine's surprise attack just right.
"Kill!"
The gnolls who followed Barot were excited, and they began to round up Baggio and Christine, and at this time, Anna's throwing knives were also thrown, and two gnolls were knocked down, and Anna also danced the long whip and joined the fight.
"Christine, you go and help Anna get the gnolls together!, the mercenary leader is handed over to me!" Baggio shouted at Christine, who nodded and went to deal with the gnolls.
Barot and Barot were facing each other at this time, Barot looked at Bagio with a mocking expression, and Bagio focused on it, because he knew that Barot was a strong enemy.
"You're just a human and want to defeat me?" Barot said with a smile.
"Hmph, I've grown up in the war all the way for so many years, don't talk nonsense, you elephant!" Bagio roared angrily and rushed towards Barot, Barot saw that Bagio was fast, and he didn't dare to slack off, raised his two-handed sword, and faced Bagio.
Every blow of Barot's two-handed sword was fierce, and Bagio did not dare to touch his weapon easily, but dodged left and right sensitively, and although this Barot was an elephant orc, he was really very flexible, he did not lose his pace at all, but chased Bagio and slashed.
Bagio saw the opportunity and stabbed Barot's sword with the elven thorn, Barot sneered a few times and continued to pursue Barot, who was dodging for a hundred years, while stabbing Barot's two-handed sword with his bayone.
After a few rounds, Barot felt that something was not quite right, he did not dare to let Bagio's bayonet point his two-handed sword, and this concern made Barot immediately so calm, and his offensive slowed down.
Bagio was very patient, there was a good opportunity to attack Barot, Bagio even ignored it, he was still looking for an opportunity to stab Barot's two-handed sword, Barot didn't know what Bagio was going to do, he saw that Bagio's stabbing sword was not an ordinary weapon, so he was always careful to prevent Bagio's bayone.
"Move!"
Barot suddenly roared, he saw the opportunity, raised the fairy thorn, and hit Barot's two-handed sword again, Barot saw that Bagio's blow was fierce, he hurriedly put away his sword, just to avoid being stabbed by Barot's sword.
"Ahh
When Barot collected the sword, he screamed, only to see that the long sword in Bagio's right hand had been cut horizontally into Barot's thick neck, because the resistance was too great, Bagio's sword did not cut off Barot's head, but Barot still had his eyes open, and he couldn't live.
"Do you really think my bayonet sword can stab your two-handed sword?" Bagio sneered, and Barot was full of chagrin, he was really frightened by Bagio, this experienced mercenary, was actually frightened by Baggio's little tricks.
"Bang dang!"
With a loud bang, Barot's huge body fell straight to the ground, and the rest of the gnolls looked at Balot's body in surprise, they couldn't believe that their powerful leader would die at the hands of a human, Bagio roared, rushed into the gnolls with his weapons, and waved his weapons left and right, slaughtering this group of gnolls frantically, most of the gnolls were panicked, and after the first gnoll retreated and fled, the rest of the gnolls also began to scatter and flee.
Baggio, Anna, and Christine stood there, glancing at each other and laughing, having defeated the formidable pursuers and now ready to march with all their might towards the Calus Pass.
The three of them walked for a few more days, and after climbing the last dangerous peak, they finally entered the clear road, which was also a mountain road, but at least it was the real road.
Dragging their heavy and tired bodies, Baggio, Anna and Christine came to their destination, the Calus Pass, at the Carus Pass, there was a group of people waiting for them, and when Bagio saw the person in charge, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"It seems that the news that our scouts have brought me is still very accurate. Tully smiled, and he looked at Bagio, and Bagio looked at Tully, and both of them were very happy.
"I'm coming, Talricho. Baggio whispered.
"Yes, you're here. Tully said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm here. Baggio also smiled in response.
Tully stepped forward, hugged Baggio, and said heartily:
"Welcome to the Free Frontier!"
