Chapter Seventy-Four: Prairie Ranger

Lear finally decided to take all the centaurs with him except Adela, and after seeing that Jenny was only behind a pitiful dozens of centaur warriors and forest dwarves, as well as seven or eight wood elves, and had already found out that there were many mages and high-level warriors in the enemy team, Jenny's tactical configuration was completely to seek death.

And as far as Lear knew, Jenny, as a medic officer, wasn't very good at fighting, so it's no wonder she had to choose to pull Jondin to herself.

Because those adventurer teams are completely inadequate.

So a procession of more than a hundred men set out from Hot Spring City, and in order to speed up the march, Jenny at first asked the orcs to ride on the backs of the centaur warriors, but closed her mouth quietly after seeing the orcs strolling through the forest.

The Shortlegs under Mrak's command outpaced the four-legged Centaur warriors.

............

The Azure Valley is a gap in the low mountains that connects the Forest of No Return to the Bracaton Plains, where Erathia belongs, and the narrow valley that can only be ridden through for a kilometer highlights its dangerous terrain, but the end of the canyon near the Forest of No Return is cut off by the rushing Ness River, which makes it impossible for the Erathians to venture through the Azure Valley, and the army will be helpless in front of the Ness River even if they venture through the Azure Valley.

As a result, the dangerous terrain of the Azure Valley is no longer of much strategic significance, so since the war between the two sides, the forest elves have only symbolically stationed a centaur team at the mouth of the valley, and at most the patrol team will go around the river Ness to take a look, but there are no more guards.

But for teams of thieves, bounty hunters, and adventurers, the Azure Valley is an excellent gateway to the Forest of No Return, and the vast majority of adventurers who enter the Forest of No Return to help the elves have chosen this route.

After Brown carved his sword on the ground in front of him, a simple map appeared in front of everyone, and unlike the thieves and bounty hunters, basic military literacy was one of the basic conditions necessary for them.

Unlike the army, they are more powerful than the individual combat power of the soldiers, and they are more tacit in cooperation, unlike the thieves and hunters who are mercenary, and they also have their own honor and beliefs in doing things.

They wandered the plains of Braccaton, sometimes for the poor, sometimes for their homeland, and they did only one thing that was right for them, and such people were called rangers in the kingdom of Erathia.

The aristocrats regarded them as a thorn in their side, the commoners regarded them as heroes, and the government turned a blind eye because of their background, and anyone who had the strength and ideals and the most important thing was a sense of justice could join them, so the rangers usually had a variety of professions.

One of the most famous rangers on the plains of Brakkat had more than fifty men, including warriors, archers, thieves, cavalry, and even six magicians and two magic apprentices, making them well-known even in the kingdom of Erathia.

Brown is the leader of the group.

The raging waters of the River Ness may be a great obstacle to the formed army, but they are not so skilled that even the most vulnerable magicians can cross the river with the help of the warriors after applying a light body technique to themselves, and after simply destroying the centaur warriors stationed at the mouth of the valley and defeating the patrols that came to support them, Brown has already led his men fifty kilometers deep into the Forest of No Return.

His goal this time is to harass the rear of the forest elves, just as they did with the Erathian army,-for-tat is the favorite way of doing things for the rangers, and it would be better if they had the opportunity to break through one or two towns and plunder, after all, while maintaining their chic reputation, the rangers also have to eat, and their young and bold personality is also destined to spend a lot of money.

But as long as the coins are from the wicked or the enemy, then there is no problem.

"We are here now. ”

Brown poked the big sword in his hand to the ground gently, the life of the perennial battle made him a little more heroic and sassy as a nobleman, and Brown felt very satisfied to see everyone's attention attracted to him.

"The nearest castle to us is the Hot Springs City, but there are too many elves and adventurers there, and although our team has a huge advantage in field encounters, it is still too weak to attack a well-defended city directly. ”

Two simple victories in quick succession didn't overwhelm Brown, who knew that every decision he made as a decision-maker would affect the life and death of a group of people in such a lonely situation, which was why he was trusted by everyone and was elected leader.

"So I'm going to bypass Hot Springs City and go straight into the forest, there is an elven town here and here, and the nearest one is two hundred kilometers away, and if we can get there before dark, we might be able to sleep in the elven cabin. ”

"Boss, will there be beautiful female elves, I heard that their bodies are as slippery as water snakes. ”

Hearing Brown announce the end of the battle deployment, a lewd warrior in the crowd shouted loudly, his lewd expression as if he had slept on the elf's bed, but his speech immediately caused a burst of laughter, interspersed with a few elongated hooligan whistles.

"Rabbit cub, as long as you have the ability, it is yours to catch as much as you can, I'm afraid that you will not be able to get up from lying on the belly of those female elves the next morning, and we will carry you. ”

Brown scolded with a smile, he didn't care much about this kind of thing, when he was out of the house, especially during the war, which soldier didn't have a little dark psychology to vent, not to mention that he himself did this kind of thing in the years when he just became a ranger.

"Rest for another half an hour to replenish the horsepower, and then we will set off, all leisurely on the road, if any bastard is blown up by a cold arrow shot from the grass, don't blame Lao Tzu for not saving you. ”

There was another burst of laughter.

............

Half a day later, where the rangers had stayed, Ivo carefully crouched on the ground, searching the grass inch by inch, not letting go of any traces of appearance, until he finally stood up and returned to Lear after ten minutes.

"Fifty or so men, with sword marks on the ground and trampled by footprints, they must have stayed here for a short time and made a maneuver plan, and now they are heading south, and they can master so much according to what they have left. ”

"What about the combatants? how many warriors and magicians?"

Jenny asked with concern, the news from the patrol was very vague, and seeing that the enemy was getting closer, she desperately needed to have accurate information.

"I can't see it. ”

Ivo shook his head helplessly, and then a flash of disappointment crossed Jenny's eyes.

"I don't know how many warriors there are, but there are no more than ten magicians, and the general level is not high, don't worry, I can handle it. ”

It's Lear's voice.

Judging from the current fluctuations in mana, there was indeed a group of mages who stayed here, and they adhered to the good habit of practicing the magic to seize all the rest time to meditate, but this also left an important basis for Lear to judge their strength.

Hearing this, Jenny glanced at Lear in surprise, the druids were also proficient in spells, but she didn't feel any breath from the scene, although she knew that her sense of smell as a medic was still weak, but Lear's keen sense still made her look up, and at the same time a lot of relief.

"What's up to the south?"

Lear asked.

Since you know that the enemy is in front, it is better to figure out their purpose, know yourself and know that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"A few forest towns, with little defense, if the enemy set off half a day ago, it should be almost there by now. ”

There was a look of pain in Jenny's eyes, as a druid knew that the people of the forest were suffering but couldn't reach it, which made her heart take over with guilt, but she also knew that what was needed now was her reason, not anger, so she tried her best to restrain it.

"Then what are you waiting for? ”

Lear gave her a strange look, aren't the druids all known as the sons of the forest, why are brothers and sisters going to suffer at all.

When Jenny heard Lear's words, she suddenly came back to her senses from her guilt and pain, pulled off her mount with all her might, and galloped away into the forest ahead.
