Because Viscount Kurt was also angry at Xiao Di's 'disturbing behavior' this time, he agreed to Howard's request, not only sent a whole small team of hoplites to him, but also appointed Sir Carter to come with him, Sir Carter is not only strong in personal strength, but also quite talented in leading troops, and has made many meritorious contributions over the years, if his blood level is not very high, he would have been promoted to a baron long ago.

Once promoted to a baron, it can be hereditary, which is completely different from the knighthood received by the dead lord, so Sir Carter has always been obsessed with this, and he thought that he could quickly make some more contributions to make Viscount Kurt relent, so as soon as he heard the news of Xiao Di's trouble, he immediately took the initiative to ask for orders to hunt down.

Sir Carter and Howard dispatched troops here to organize the team, but after Xiao Di left Viscount Cotter's logistics fortress with Nadal and others, he found that Ginter and his gang had also followed, and asked them where they planned to go next.

Ginter smiled bitterly: "Lord Xiao Di, as Viscount Kot's subordinates, if we escape now, we will be traitors, and no one will be willing to take us in - not to mention that our ability is low, and no one cares, if the adult is willing, we want to follow the adult in the future, and I hope the adult will give us this opportunity no matter what." ”

Xiao Di smiled: "To be honest, we can only be regarded as free mercenaries now, and we have nothing to rely on except for our skills, I am afraid that you will have no future with me, and it is also very dangerous, have you thought about this?"

Gint immediately replied: "The adults have a life-saving grace for us, and they treat us as human beings, I have lived for more than forty years and have never met such a person as an adult, so we are all willing to serve you to the death, although we have no ability but can always come in handy, in the future, whether it is logistics coolies or front-line cannon fodder, we will never say the same." ”

Xiao Di thought about it for a while and agreed, now there are only five of them, and their strength is indeed too thin, not to mention that with Ninter and other natives as cover, their identity as outsiders is not easy to see.

Since Gentry knew the situation here very well, Xiao Di asked Kent what to do next, and Gentry said without hesitation: "Viscount Kate has always been known for protecting his shortcomings and holding grudges, and he will definitely not sit idly by this time when the Lord beats him, so the Lord must escape as far as possible, and he must do it as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Di smiled faintly: "How many troops does Viscount Cotter have? Why did I Xiao Di run away?"

Jin was in a hurry: "My lord, Viscount Cotter has three direct barons, in addition to his personal guards, which add up to more than 2,000 regular troops, and there are many generals who can fight well. ”

Henry also persuaded: "Captain, what Gint said also makes sense, after all, this is the other party's territory, their people are endless, our troops are still too small, it is better to avoid the limelight for the time being, and it is not too late to take revenge when our strength grows, anyway, Kurt's territory is here, and he can't run if he wants to." ”

Xiao Di listened, but he still said: "We must leave, but before leaving, we also have to impress Viscount Cote a little, let him remember the name of Xiao Di Mephisto, you can rest assured, we are just a few people, the other party will definitely not be fully mobilized, let us kill their first batch of pursuers, and then leave easily after a good vote, what do you say?"

Ginter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Di had finally given up the idea of fighting hard with Viscount Cotter, and then quickly suggested: "There is a black pine collar more than a hundred miles northeast of here, and it happens to be in the three-area area of the territory boundary of Viscount Cotter, Baron Rael and Baron Ska, and the terrain is complicated, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare. ”

Xiao Di took out the magic map and asked Jinte to mark all the information he knew, and it was the first time for Jinte to see such a sophisticated and high-end alchemy product, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and his awe of Xiao Di couldn't help but increase a few points.

Although Jinte's combat effectiveness is not strong, but his ability to draw maps is quite good, and he is very familiar with the terrain and landforms within a radius of hundreds of miles here, and it didn't take long to mark the information from here to the vicinity of Black Pine Ridge.

Then Xiao Di integrated the team and began to slowly march towards Black Pine Ridge, it is worth mentioning that when Gint fled with Xiao Di, he had arranged for his subordinates to inform his people, so that those who had combat effectiveness among them came quickly, and these people also heard Viscount Cote say that they would punish them, and the Marge clan were all shocked and frightened, and hurriedly fled from Cote's men as quickly as possible and came to report to Xiao Di, and finally gathered a team of nearly 100 people, which can barely be regarded as a team.

And in the follow-up formation and simple training, Xiao Di and they were surprised to find that the big fireball and burst fireball technique that the Marge clan is best at will be affected by Gru's strong attack aura, and the range and power have been enhanced, as for why it is obviously a long-range magic attack is blessed by physical auxiliary skills, no one can understand the mystery, it can only be attributed to Xiao Di's character explosion or some special influence in the heart of the molten fire.

However, this is undoubtedly great news for Xiao Di, the originally mediocre strength of the Marges under the command of Gru has greatly increased, if the tactics are appropriate, how can the combat effectiveness be doubled? You must know that for long-range troops, range has always been one of the most important factors, and the famous kite flying tactics have brought this feature to the extreme, and even the attack power is inferior in comparison.

There is an additional benefit of taking in the Marg clan is that there are many more spies coming out, although the strength of the Marg clan is not strong, but there are many of them, covering almost the entire territory of the Grand Duke of Garton, although Ginter is only the leader of a small tribe, it is not enough to order them to follow Xiao Di, but at least they are definitely emotionally inclined to Xiao Di and them, and there is no problem with things like reporting the wind and sending a message.

So Xiao Di soon learned all the information about the troops sent by Viscount Cott against him:

Director Howard, seventh-order perception attribute, no combat specialty

Sir Carter, an eighth-order strength and seventh-order agility, has a bloodline talent for mana defense that reduces magical damage by an additional twenty percent

There are about 100 hoplites, each warrior basically has about the sixth order of strength or agility, the equipment is of the excellent level, and there are more than 200 slave troops in charge of logistics - this is very similar to the tribes of Azeroth.

At this time, their various preparations were almost complete, and they should be dispatched in the next few days, Xiao Di gathered his four teammates plus Jintedo, and then issued orders one by one.

Three days later, Howard and Sir Carter, who had enough supplies for half a month, finally led the team to set off, in fact, according to Sir Carter's intentions, dealing with Xiao Di and their only five or six minions - even if you count the dozens of waste-like Marg soldiers of Ginter, it is less than a hundred, and he only needs to bring twenty light cavalry to wipe them out, and it is a complete waste of time to prepare so well.

But Howard tried his best to stop it, on the grounds that it was convenient for the other party to move with fewer people, and now he didn't know where to hide, and it was not easy to find them with few people who went, so it was better to get accurate information after being well prepared, and it made sense for Sir Carter to think about it, so he reluctantly waited for the scouts who inquired about the news to come back.

The information sent back by the scouts said that someone had seen Xiao Di's whereabouts in the Black Wind Ridge, and Sir Carter was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gathered the team and set off, in his opinion, Xiao Di and they only had the three places to go, and the rest of the places were mastered places, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time.

Sir Carter and Howard rode the Iron Wildebeest at the front of the group, and the rest of the hoplites trotted behind - this Iron Wildebeest is a unique magical beast in this world, with a thin demon dragon bloodline, they not only eat grass but also eat meat, so both strength and speed are far stronger than ordinary horses, but they are tyrannical by nature, and only knights with demon blood can ride.

Sir Carter urged the team to speed up while talking to Howard beside him, Howard naturally had all kinds of compliments on the surface, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart, and always felt that this operation would be more than lucky, but he couldn't say why.

His perception attribute is quite good, he must have felt something, but from the current situation, the strength of the two sides is simply very different, no matter how you think about it, you can't imagine the possibility of failure, this kind of strong hedging makes Howard feel extremely uneasy.

At this time, Howard's heart suddenly had a sudden alarm, and he immediately jumped off his horse and shouted while hiding: "Everyone be careful, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Before he could finish speaking, seven or eight arrows suddenly flew out of the forest next to him, one of which was shooting at Howard, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit, and now his mount had taken this blow for him, and a huge blood hole was shot directly out of his waist, and he couldn't live.

There was also an arrow aimed at Sir Carter, but he only blocked it with a flick of his knife, but the arrow aimed at him and Howard only attracted their attention, and the other arrows were the real target of the sneak attack - that is, their supply carts, and several of their thick-backed oxen pulling the carts fell to the ground at this time, and they were all killed by one arrow.

Sir Carter was furious, and immediately turned his horse and galloped in the direction where the arrow was flying, and as soon as he entered the woods, he saw the attacker, a tall green-skinned archer more than a thousand meters away, who was rapidly moving away, and he learned from Howard that there was a very skilled archer in their team, and it must be this kid.
