Highly recommended:
Jack is a half-fishman who has just been promoted to midship-knight, he was only a slave on a small island called Shapu in the Endless Sea before joining the army of Spartacus, and the blessing of the Divine Light of Toron was liberated from their island a few years ago, and he himself came to the Misty Isle like many young people on the island who yearn for merit and freedom
The journey from recruit to midshipman was a long one, but fortunately, as long as the army of Spartacus was disciplined and brave, the feats were not forgotten.
In the past few years, Jack has owned a small fief of his own on Shapu Island, although he only has the right to govern, but it is already a great honor for him, who has been a slave for generations, if nothing else, his small fief can be expanded after the end of the war of Krulrod, and the village where he was born can be encompassed.
Thinking that in the future, the fathers and villagers in the village would live a good life under his leadership, Jack felt that it was the right decision to choose to join the Spartacus army in the first place.
But first, he had to get the job done.
According to Lord Mrak's orders, their mission this time was to reconnoiter the stealth circuit, to find out where the barbarian army had arrived, the equipment morale and the strength of the troops, such a team Mlak sent a dozen, and he was the captain of one of them.
It's been the fourth day since he'd left Dragontop City and his team had crossed the city of Boca earlier this morning, but it was strange to them that it was the same as when they left.
He even infiltrated Boca in disguise in order to ascertain the information, and came to the conclusion that Tanan's army not only did not arrive here, but also did not even have the slightest rumor, which is very abnormal.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for the barbarians not to chase after learning the news that they have attacked the city all the way, and now that they have captured Longding City, the barbarians' brigade should send the vanguard to reach Clegmore even if they are slow, so that Boca City will definitely receive the news, but the current situation is full of strange revelations.
Could it be that the barbarians are stuck in something in Shining Sand City, or is it true that they are carrying out a bloody internal suppression, as the lord said.
So after consulting with a few members of the team, Jack decided to go all the way west until he found the traces of the barbarian army, which was one of the things that Master Mrak admonished them when he became a trainee knight, that is, everything must be true, and the team will follow them anyway, and there is no need to worry about any danger.
At this moment, Jack is leading his team members to replenish water behind a raised stone mountain and avoid the scorching sun by the way, this barren land is like the most vicious curse all year round is scorching sun exposure, for him who has half fish-man blood, the long-term lack of water is simply a hellish torment, but this vast land is not only sand but stones, and finally found a shadow and a certain degree of concealment, he immediately led the team to hide in.
And just as he took the water bladder handed by his subordinates and poured it hard, there was a sudden fierce shouting on the horizon in the distance, which was faintly mixed with the roar of the ogre and the slight tremor of the large creature when it stepped on the ground.
Barbarians and ghostly behemoths!
Jack, who had dealt with the barbarian army many times, immediately judged the source of the sound, and he looked cautiously into the distance through the gap in the stone mountain, only to see a huge cloud of smoke chasing the two black dots at a rapid pace, and the stone mountain where they were hiding was at a parallel angle.
He couldn't see the two black dots because of the distance, but one thing was certain, beneath the monstrous smoke was the army of barbarians he had been seeking.
At the same time, a large black shadow appeared in the sky, and the mournful and familiar chirp made Jack's heart move and frown slightly.
The good news is that the team with the ghost beast and the Thunderbird must be the main force of the barbarians, at least an important vanguard army, and the bad news is that when the Thunderbird blocks the sky, it will be difficult for him to pass the information back.
"Captain, what do we do now. ”
One of the team members behind Jack lowered his voice and said, obviously he also knew that he must not let the Thunderbird find out where they were, otherwise with the size of their current team, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape.
"Wait!"
Jack said in a deep voice, although he was also curious about who the two black spots running in front of him were, and that they would be worthy of a barbarian to send an entire army, including the ghost beasts, to hunt them down, but he knew better what his priority was.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when the two galloping black dots finally disappeared completely from Jack's field of vision, and the huge dust dragon that enveloped the barbarian army gradually disappeared, that Jack exhaled a long breath.
The enemy did not find out about their presence.
"Hurry up, go back the way you came, and report our findings to your lordship!"
Jack carefully picked up his horse, but the moment he stepped on the horse, he suddenly said: "Asa, you take two people to the left and around, Chuck you take two people to the right, and the others follow me back the same way, no matter which team must rush back to the adults as quickly as possible!"
Although the two team members who were named did not know why, they still unswervingly carried out Jack's order, but what even Jack himself did not know was that it was his dying intention that saved the lives of the other two teams, as well as the other two more important lives.
Just as Jack's team was beating their horses and leaving the stone mountain where they were hiding, a black shadow like a hill suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, and behind him were more barbarian warriors than in the dust dragon just now, and dozens of thunderbirds were hovering above the head of that hill.
"My lord! There are a few flies there. ”
A vicious-looking wolf knight scurried up to Gnison, apparently spotting Jack and the others galloping out from beneath the rocky mountain.
"Send a squad to kill them, and the rest continue the pursuit!"
Gnison said coldly, and then drove the ghost beast under him to continue to chase forward, and after the wolf knight let out a long roar, dozens of wolf riders immediately followed him out of the queue, and at the same time, more than a dozen thunderbirds were also chased in the direction where Jack and the others left under the urging of a beast trainer.
