As the name suggests, the Western Wilderness is a coastal area located on the west side of the Elwyn Forest, with the main part of the landscape being barren grasslands and scattered vegetation, and the entire province is almost two-thirds the area of the Elwyn Forest Province.

Since this sergeant's action mainly relied on luring the enemy to take the bait automatically, the troops marched along the main road without disguise, and it only took a month to cross the Xiquan Fortress and approach the western wilderness area.

As the army marched westward, the lush broad-leaved forest landscape belonging to the Elwyn Forest was also changing imperceptibly, the trees began to sparse, the grass gradually became low, and even the gusts of wind became stronger.

In order to adapt to such climate change, when it officially entered the western wilderness, the whole army stopped and rectified for a few days, and some contradictions accumulated on the way also broke out at this time.

Tom tom

A soldier in a bronze cuirass and an iron sword knocked on the door and shouted, "Your Excellency Major, are you there? ”

This so-called major is naturally Yang Long's identity at this time, this is the MI7 in order to succeed in this operation, giving each strong person who leads the team a temporary officer status, which is convenient for overall management and clear division of labor.

"Good. After responding softly, Yang Long opened the door and said lightly to the soldiers: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" the soldier replied loudly, and then led Yang Long towards the center of the barracks, and soon came to a towering tent. After lifting the tarpaulin and entering the tent, Yang Long found that most of the officers had already arrived.

With an army of as many as 30,000, it was naturally impossible to have no commanders, so three powerhouses whose strength had reached the peak of the twelfth order were appointed as temporary brigadier generals, each managing an army of 10,000 people.

Yang Long, who commanded more than 1,000 people, was under the command of a Brigadier General named Cromwell, whose strength had reached the peak of the twelfth order, and the so-called Rem in the soldier's mouth was also a major officer like Yang Long.

Cromwell's 10,000 of them. A strong man with the status of a major officer. At the lowest, he also reached the level of the eleventh order, so when he learned that he had the strength of the eighth ring, he became an officer with the same status as everyone else, which immediately caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

This officer is called Rem. is dissatisfied with Yang Long. One of the most obvious.

Almost from the beginning of the march. Rem provoked him again and again, and ridiculed Yang Long several times in person, and was very suspicious of his strength. Several times he said that he could kill Yang Long in minutes.

If it had been another time, such a clown would have been directly killed by Yang Long, but when he was on a mission, he had been repeatedly warned many times that it was absolutely forbidden to attack his own people.

At least we can't kill a "person" of your own in public to vent your anger on such an occasion.

Rem, who thought that Yang Long was timid, not only became more and more arrogant, but also spoke to Brigadier General Cromwell several times, wanting to replace Yang Long's management of the army, which made the old butcher secretly unhappy for a long time.

"Aha, look who's coming!" As soon as he saw Yang Long enter, Rem immediately jumped out and smiled: "Mr. Grofe, you can really sleep, not much worse than a certain animal!"

After saying that, Rem also pointed to his nose and made a very understandable gesture, and everyone knew what kind of animal he was talking about.

Yang Long just frowned, didn't say anything, nodded to Cromwell, who was standing at the sand table in the center of the tent, and went straight to a wooden chair on the side of the tent and sat down.

"Haha, Mr. Grofe!" Rem laughed, the sarcasm in his mouth continuing to spit out, "Don't you have one?"

"Enough is enough, Rem!" Cromwell interrupted, as if feeling a little embarrassed, and apologized to the other two brigadier generals standing beside him, "Lord Montgomery, Miss Valen, the poor command of your subordinates has made you laugh. ”

Because it was not authorized by the Grand Duke Regent, the army used by MI7 to participate in this operation was not a regular army with strong combat effectiveness, but only a combination of local armies and mercenary groups.

In addition to Cromwell, who represented MI7, Montgomery, who represented the local army, and Matilda, who represented the mercenary group, were each given temporary status as brigadier generals with a command of 10,000 men.

It can be said that such an army, even if it has a scale of 30,000 people, is not comparable to the combat effectiveness of the regular army of 3,000 people, and if it really enters the battlefield of life and death, it will definitely be defeated very quickly.

Fortunately, the Brotherhood of Defia is nothing more than a mob organization in its own right, not only is it untrained, but it is not even fully armed, and it is not a very formidable enemy for this third-rate army.

Moreover, this attack is mainly to lure out the leader and kill the leader of the Defia Brotherhood, Edwin Van Cleef, as long as the top powerhouse who leads the team can seriously injure or kill Van Cleeff, even if he sacrifices these 30,000 people, it is enough.

"Where, where is Lord Cromwell, you are so remorseful. The middle-aged magician named Montgomery raised his hand and waved it nonchalantly, and replied politely: "After all, we are not soldiers, so it is not surprising that we cannot ban it for the time being. ”

Compared to Montgomery, the brigadier general named Matilda did not respond to Cromwell's words, but looked at Yang Long fixedly, and said with some surprise: "Aren't you Bin-Grofey?!"

"So what?" Yang Long said unceremoniously.

Since he verbally joined the "Hunter", Yang Long had also received a little information about this organization, and knew that among the professionals who participated in the operation this time, in addition to Cromwell and another Twelfth Order Peak powerhouse, there were also many official members of the Hunter.

Rem is one of them, which is also the main reason why Yang Long has to endure the other party.

However, except for Cromwell, whose strength has reached the peak of the twelfth order and has a close to complete professional inheritance, the strength of the other two brigadier generals is at the top of the twelfth order, and they can't put the slightest pressure on Yang Long.

That's why he showed a lukewarm look to Matilda, who asked questions, without the slightest respect, which made Cromwell, who didn't know his identity at all, ponder.

"Although there are some changes, but it is very similar" Matilda muttered in a low voice, and then asked curiously, "As the patriarch of the three major families, how could you come alone?"

"It's your business!" Yang Long said coldly.

"You guy" Matilda paused for a moment, then stepped out in annoyance, "It's not in Lordaeron now, do you think you can still be as powerful as you were at the beginning?!"

At this moment, not only the other people in the tent, but even Yang Long himself felt the hatred expressed in the words of this female warrior who was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a green iron armor and a bumpy figure and a concave face, about her early twenties.

"Matilda hum!" Yang Long recalled for a moment in his mind, and soon remembered a small family in the Tirisfal Glade: "I remember, you are the eldest daughter of the Valen family, Matilda Valen?"

The struggle between the nobles of the Lordaeron Kingdom is staged all the time, and Yang Long's three years in Lordaeron, under the intentional display of Lorraine Grove, have inadvertently seen a lot.

Among them was a small nobleman named Valen, who was secretly exterminated by the Grovee family because of his preference for the Flero family.

However, when this small family was strangled, Matilda Valen, the eldest daughter of the family, who was already the leader of the city defense army of a large city in Tirisfa at that time, and whose strength had reached the lower rank of the twelfth order, was lucky to escape.

You must know that in a country like Lordaeron, the status of women is very low, and Matilda Valen is very fortunate to be able to grow into a twelfth-order powerhouse at the age of only forty-two by virtue of her status as a woman.

The reason why the Valen family was destroyed at the beginning was also because the Grove family asked the Valen family to send Matilda, the eldest daughter with great potential, to the Grove family for allegiance, and finally it happened after the Valen patriarch refused.

Because in a country like Lordaeron, this so-called allegiance, when placed on a woman, becomes equivalent to giving one's own body and mind, which makes Matilda Valen herself, and the Valen patriarch who wants to rely on the potential of the eldest daughter as a bargaining chip for greater benefits.

If it weren't for the invasion of the Scourge Legion, Matilda Valen would never have escaped the follow-up pursuit of the Grovefi family, and her final fate would have been either to be killed or become a slave of the Grovefi family's private army, living a life worse than death.

For Yang Long, there is nothing wrong with this, the law of the jungle survives, and the Grove family has not done anything wrong.

"Hehehe, you're just a lucky guy. Yang Longpi looked at Matilda with a smile, and the sarcasm in his eyes was unconcealed: "If God hadn't saved your life, you would have become a sex in our family prison."

"Shut up!" screamed Matilda Valen, she also understood the reason why she was safe so far, and she also knew what her most important task was at the moment, but she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, took out a two-handed big sword, and wanted to rush up and kill Yang Long.

Bang -

The sand table was directly knocked over with a punch, and Cromwell made a move before the situation got out of control, so that Matilda was forced to stop the action, and then said in a cold voice word by word: "Brigadier General Matilda, Major Grofe, if you have a personal grudge, can you settle it privately?"

As a guardian paladin, Cromwell is not only a top-ranking member of the "Hunter", but also a student who was just accepted by the first leader not long ago, as a candidate for the ninth next-generation leader, just this moment a majestic murderous aura filled the entire tent
