The barbarian army finally left the city, and after a third of the city's population had been slaughtered, Tanan left two thousand big-eared monsters to keep watch, as the walls destroyed by Lear had not been fully repaired.

With Talohill and Granchel as the vanguard, each led 5,000 troops and horses to march towards Clegmore, Shiva and Gnison commanded the main army in the center, and Tanan led the battle mage regiment and the ghost beast hall behind, and a barbarian army of 50,000 people drove towards the depths of the Gobi.

At Clegmore, at the same time, more than 10,000 Spartacus warriors had completed their final mobilization before the war, and the whole army was divided into three parts, Lear himself led most of his army towards the gorge where Clegg Mountains and Steelac met, while Ivo led nine hundred light horsemen and one hundred clerics on the official road to Shining Sand.

Strangely enough, however, the 2,000 horsemen led by Mlak did not follow Lear or Ivo to stop the barbarians, and soon after they set foot on the official road, the 2,000 cavalry galloped to the left into the vast Gobi Desert, and soon lost all traces.

A low stone mountain in the middle of the Gobi blocked most of the bright moonlight, and in the shadow below the stone mountain, Ivo was solemnly observing the distant avenue through the gap in the stone mountain, and the cold sand wind blew on his face, making the fortitude in his eyes even more obvious.

The same stone mountain is located in several areas within a few hundred meters of him, which is a natural environment unique to the Gobi, but at this time it became the best place to hide.

Behind each stone mountain were dozens or even hundreds of warriors in ambush, and the sturdy horses were anchored in the shadows of the rocks, but strangely enough, the hundred priests who had been with Ivo were nowhere to be seen.

Of course, it is impossible to stop the barbarians with this little force in Ivo's hands, but fortunately his purpose is not this, the 900 men who accompanied him on this expedition are all good at salvo shooting, and Lear also gave him the right to act cheaply, that is to say, what Ivo wants to do and how to do it depends entirely on his personal will, Lear does not make any demands on this, as long as the final decisive battle of the barbarians is the valley he chooses.

A disc slowly rose into the air, and when the whole land was rendered in a bleak and desolate hue, a dense black shadow finally appeared on the distant horizon, like a black line over a mountain ridge, and the black shadow traveled towards Ivo at a constant but not slow pace.

"My lord, here they are. ”

Behind Ivo, a young half-elf reported a little nervously, although this was not the first time he had participated in the battle formation, but the huge situation gap of 900 to 50,000 still caused him a lot of pressure.

"Calm down, Aven. ”

Ivo patted the other party's shoulder gently, and now he is no longer the little archer who could only follow Lear and release cold arrows, the experience of successive battles and the gradual growth of strength have made him have a little more calm and calm general bearing while the youth is fading.

Once upon a time, when he lived in a treehouse in the forest of Tulaone and lived an idyllic life of hunting and roosting, he never imagined that he would achieve what he achieved today, but now he knew that as long as that person was still at the forefront, then every day was a new beginning for them, and the future would be as vast as the sea of trees in the forest of Tulaone with no end in sight.

Under Ivo's encouraging eyes, Evan finally calmed down, and then he led his team to the middle of the official road, discarded his longbow and quiver on the side of the road and sat down idlely, looking like a dozen lazy and decadent mercenaries from a distance, just as Ivo had asked them to do.

About half an hour later, when Evan could already feel the slight vibration on the ground due to the neat pace of the army, the barbarians' advance sentry also discovered them, and a hundred and ten black shadows broke away from the barbarians' front army at an extremely fast speed, and surrounded Aven and a dozen others after a while.

"Who are you, and why are you staying here?"

The wolf knight asked viciously, looking at his hideous face, and if Evan answered any doubts, he would immediately kill them on the spot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Uncle, we have just entered the Evil Wind Mercenary Regiment of Krurod, didn't we hear that Cleggmore was fighting not long ago, we wanted to try our luck, but we didn't want to wait for us to get there, there was nothing, in desperation, we had to return by the way, we were tired and had to rest in place, I didn't expect to block your way, uncle, let's get out of the way, let's get out of the way. ”

Evan nodded his head and flattered him, and as he turned around and kicked him, the members of his team reluctantly picked up the weapons and armor scattered all over the place, and squirmed towards the side of the road at a speed similar to that of a turtle, which looked really down.

"Wait, you said you were from Cleggmore?"

As soon as Evan turned around and was about to walk down the road, the wolf knight suddenly let out another sharp shout.

This continent is full of wars, trampling and destruction all the time, and there are countless mercenary groups active among various countries, the largest of a few thousand people, the smallest of only a few dozen or hundred, these people have no faith, as long as they pay money, they are willing to die for you.

Originally, these mercenary groups still talked about a little principle and morality at the beginning, but as the war burned more and more fiercely, the sacrifice ratio became higher and higher, and they began to become no different from bandits.

This is not the first time this has happened, except for a few large mercenary groups that are better, the rest of the private mercenary squads are almost as famous as street rats.

But even so, there are still a lot of people on this continent who choose to hire mercenaries to fight, because the situation is like this, you don't have to always have someone who will use it, rather than letting these vampires stab themselves behind their backs, it is better to feed them with gold coins, and even the current barbarian army has a lot of mercenary activities, and the attitude towards these barbarians is also gritted with hatred, but it is really helpless.

After observing the affiliation of Aven's team, the wolf knight no longer had much doubt about the identity of the mercenaries he was talking about, there were elves, half-elves, dwarves and orcs, and even humans and half-fishmen, and there was no organization in this world that could accept such a mixed affiliation except for all the mercenary teams that looked at money, and the conflict of beliefs alone could make them fight frantically at the first time they met.

And the trait of wandering around like a wild dog as long as he smells war and gold coins will come up like flies is also in line with the style of a mercenary, especially what he sees in the eyes of those people is deep silence, even in the face of a hundred people besieged without any fear.

That kind of silence has nothing to do with the bravery of fighting hard on the battlefield without fear of life and death, but a kind of life that has lost its spiritual beliefs and is worn down to the extreme by gold coins and pleasures, as if as long as there is wine and prostitutes tonight, these people can die without regrets tomorrow, which is the biggest characteristic of the mercenary team.

Originally, the wolf cavalry captain of the team didn't have too many ideas, such maggots were everywhere, but after hearing that Evan said that they were from Cleggmore, he had a different idea, if he could find out a little bit of news there in advance, it would be a small credit.

"Yes, my lord, we just came from over there. ”

Evan nodded as he returned to the Wolf Knight, seemingly pleased with his grovel, and the big-eared monster's eyes softened when he looked at him again.

"Then Lord Ben asks you, what is the situation of Cleggmore now, how many troops are there, and what kind of army?"

Although the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries is debatable, there is one thing that is recognized by the mainland, that is, their ability to control intelligence is as sensitive as a hyena's nose, in fact, in a sense, this is one of the most important reasons why mercenaries will be selected, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to ask something from the other party's mouth.

"This ......"

Aivan's eyes purred, although his face still maintained that humble expression, but the sly light in his eyes and the desire to speak on his lips clearly revealed his thoughts, the meaning was obvious, it doesn't matter what I say, but what good am I? This is also in line with the greedy face of ordinary mercenaries.
