Sheng Xuan walked around the empty camp and found a lot of messy footsteps, obviously the Calais warriors of this battalion were still in a hurry when retreating, and he continued to walk towards the outside of the camp without finding any useful clues. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The footprints of tens of thousands of people were still very messy at first, but after walking out of the camp for several miles, it was already very obvious, and after following the footprints for a distance, Sheng Xuan suddenly realized a problem, and couldn't help but let him squat down and check the traces left on the ground by himself.

These footprints were too neat, even if a soldier of the legion was well-trained, I am afraid that he would not be able to walk such a neat pace, and then he got up again to identify the direction, and couldn't help but show a smile, "Calais, you can say that you have tried your best, but this time I am afraid it is self-defeating." ”

Walking down this distance is likely to encounter the sky roar, so it is unlikely that the Calais will take this road, Sheng Xuan summoned the wind snake to return to the camp again, and after carefully inspecting it, he suddenly found traces that he had not paid attention to before, it was a vague imprint, if you don't look carefully, it is easy to mistake it for a trace of the wind, but if you look closely, you will find that it is left after someone deliberately erased the footprints.

"Is this the direction?" Sheng Xuan was a little dazed, because this was the most unlikely direction, because this direction led to the Eagle Head Stream, "Neither direction is right? So where did the Calais go? Could it be that they can all fly in the sky?"

This is absolutely impossible, because if you want to fly in the sky with your fighting spirit, you must at least have the cultivation of the Holy Rank, and the distance will not be too far, so where did they go? Could it be that they are retreating? This is even more impossible, even if Sheng Xuan's current cultivation of the Earth Demon Master wants to take tens of thousands of people to escape, it will never be possible.

Sheng Xuan couldn't help but control the wind snake to climb into the air, and then looked down at the entire Calais camp from the air, trying to find a clue, suddenly a strange phenomenon appeared in his eyes, "Huh?" I saw that the marks of some tents in the camp were blurry and almost imperceptible, where should there be some tents, but now these tents are gone.

"Could it be that they were taken away?, but a lot of baggage and supplies were left in the camp, and it was obvious that the Calais were going to march lightly, so why did they carry heavy tents on their backs?" At this moment a sudden gust of wind blew, blowing the mark even more blurred, which could not help but make his heart move, and he walked out of the camp against the wind, and suddenly saw a slow stone cliff.

At that moment, Sheng Xuan finally understood how these Calais people could cover up their traces, "Is it by the wind? Thinking of this, he jumped off the ground, and saw a coarse thread in the crevice of the rock, and looked closely at the twine, which was the material used by the Calais to make their tents.

Everything is clear, these Calais must have cut their tents into small pieces, wrapped them around their feet, and slowly slid down the cliff, so that they would leave almost no traces, even if they would leave some small traces, because this side was the windward side, and all traces were quickly eliminated by the wind, and if they followed the traces they had just found, they would probably only waste time.

Beneath the cliff is a rugged valley where the dry riverbed full of gravel lies quietly, perhaps only in the rainy season when water flows here, and a large number of rocks are brought down on the mountain, and after years of rain erosion, the rocks on both sides are exposed, forming a natural stone path, although it is a little steep, but it is not impossible to walk, especially with rough linen wrapped in feet.

"It seems that this general Calais is also taking great pains. Sheng Xuan walked along the path of discovery, and then found a few more traces, and couldn't help but be sure that the Calais must have taken this path.

After a long wolf howl, a moment later there was an echo around him, although some too complicated howls Sheng Xuan could not yet, but the simple contact was already very familiar, through this howling sound to pass the news out, and soon a golden wolf warrior arrived.

"Tell the Wolf Tooth that the war here is over, let him mobilize 30,000 wolf cavalry and 50,000 infantry to gather at the foot of the mountain in front, and the rest of the soldiers will all return to the camp to obey the command of the Golden Wolf King, this time there will be no more accidents, just hope that they can surround Calais's southern legions, and if they encounter a strong attack by the Calais, open a gap in the mountain leading to the direction of the Moon Dance Forest, so that the Calais can break through from that direction. Sheng Xuan carefully explained his orders to a battalion commander and wrote a text message to the Golden Wolf King, and then he harnessed the Wind Snake to follow the route of the Calais.

At this time, Sheng Xuan was bent on tracking the traces of the Calais, for fear that those traces would disappear after a long time, but after he met with the wolf fangs, he found that these worries were unnecessary, because those demon wolves could distinguish the smell of a few days ago through their sense of smell, and it was not a problem to track these Calais at all.

Chasing dozens of miles along the winding mountain road, but still no trace of the Calais was found, seeing that the sky was about to darken, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and then he was about to enter the swampy area of the Confession Swamp, in this early spring season, it is not a good thing to enter the swamp late at night.

Although the ice and snow have not completely melted, there are some sunny places that thaw in advance, making the entire swamp look wet, and at night it will drop to freezing, so that the ice water that melts during the day will form a thin layer of ice, which looks very smooth and smooth under the starlight, but it just hides the killing machine in the swamp.

With the arrival of early spring, the deciduous grass deposited in some of the mires began to ferment slowly under the roasting of the sun, which caused the temperature in the mire to rise suddenly, and also accelerated the thawing rate of the surrounding mud, so that these mires restored their hideous faces, but now they are hidden under the thin ice, which makes this mysterious and terrifying swamp full of murderous opportunities.

As long as you bypass a small hill in front of you, you can see the swamp, at this time there is a small group of golden wolf warriors in front of the head to explore the way, suddenly a crossbow arrow shot fiercely, shooting at the demon wolf tracking in front, which can't help but make this team of golden wolf warriors surprised, and suddenly shouted while looking for concealment, "Be careful, there is an ambush ahead!"

At this moment, Shengxuan was only two miles away from the warriors who were exploring the path in front, and when he heard the chaos in front of him, he hurriedly left the team and rushed up, at this time, the small group of orc warriors who were exploring the path had been suppressed under the hillside, and the Calais heavy crossbow made them dare not raise their heads, and a few people in the team could not dodge the crossbow arrows in their bodies, although they avoided the vital point, but the injuries were also extremely serious.

"How many people are there?" Sheng Xuan asked directly to the captain beside him, and the captain became nervous when he saw Sheng Xuan, "Lord Divine Envoy." In a hurry, he was about to salute, but was stopped by Sheng Xuan, "Tell me about the enemy's situation first, how many of them have scouted?"

"Your Excellency, we haven't had time to reconnoitre, but we estimate that there are several hundred heavy crossbowmen, and the rest 、、、、" "Alright, you continue to hide here so that the Calais will not find out and escape." After saying that, he quietly returned to the brigade, shouted over the wolf fangs, and said, "You take two thousand wolf horses and quietly go around behind the Calais, and wait for you to send a signal that we will attack back and forth, let's go." ”

In fact, Sheng Xuan had already expected that the ambush here was just a suspicious soldier, and the number of people would not be too many, I am afraid that there were only a few hundred heavy crossbowmen, but he still did not dare to be careless, since he had a large army in hand, why did he take unnecessary risks? Even if a male lion faced a rabbit, he had to use all his strength, this was the attitude towards the enemy.

But what he was worried about was another thing, this place was not far from the swamp, why did the Calais ambush here? Could it really be to cover the army into the swamp? You must know that it is very dangerous to enter the swamp rashly at this time.

If it wasn't to cover the retreat of the army from the swamp, then why arrange an ambush here? Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard the signal from the wolf's fang, and he couldn't help but launch a fierce attack on the small hillside, only to find that the Calais arranged these crossbowmen very skillfully, they were in groups of ten, several groups of people guarded a simple attack, and they only saw each other only a few dozen feet away, but they could just echo each other, plus they had enough crossbow arrows in their hands, and for a time the orc warriors could not get close.

Sheng Xuan was not in a hurry about these troops, but was carefully considering what the intentions of the Calais were, did they really want to rely on these hundreds of crossbowmen to cover the retreat of the army? You must know that without the cover of other arms, these heavy crossbowmen simply cannot leave their simple offensive, which means that they have been abandoned here, and they only pose a threat to the limited area under this hillside, if they lead their troops around for a few miles, they can completely avoid this ambush.

Judging from these, it is obvious that their purpose is not to stop themselves, so there is only one most reasonable explanation, that is, to let themselves misjudge, thinking of this, Sheng Xuan hurriedly shouted to the wolf rider beside him, "You immediately take a hundred wolf riders around here and rush to the edge of the swamp to check, if you find the brigade of the Calais people, don't entangle them, report to me immediately, if you don't find it, then follow the swamp to the northwest." ”

For this small battle, Sheng Xuan didn't care about it at all, it was only a matter of time before he won the battle, and he was happy to let his soldiers take this opportunity to exercise, and in the future, it was indispensable to attack the enemy's defense line, and one more actual combat exercise would give him more certainty of victory.

Soon the battle was coming to an end, only a few of the more dangerous Calais heavy crossbowmen were still resisting, Wolf Fang took the warrior to throw a few rounds of guns, the sparse crossbow arrows finally stopped, Sheng Xuan walked over to check, but this simple battle, because he was not familiar with the Calais heavy crossbowmen, and it was the first time to attack the opponent's defense line, so it still caused some casualties among the orcs, which couldn't help but make him frown slightly, and then told Wolf Fang about the places he mishandled in this battle.

The army slowly marched towards the swamp, at this time it was already dark, suddenly there were several wolf howls in the distance, Sheng Xuan listened to the interpretation of the soldiers beside him, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "A large number of footprints have been found in several directions, could it be that the Calais have divided their troops outside the swamp? What is their purpose? Could it be that this is a smoke left on purpose?"
