Chapter 50: Divergence
"Raphael. ”
After the elf left, the thoughts were like a magic net that could not be shaken off, entwining around Jabbar, making people suffocating. All I could think of was the moonlit woodland, the jungle path, Raphael's graceful body and simple smile.
"Abdul-Jabbar, the ranger who went to explore the path has fed back the situation. ”
Paladin sat next to Abdul-Jabbar, about to report to his close friend on the latest situation, but Abdul-Jabbar was clearly absent-minded.
"Abdul-Jabbar. ”
Paladin repeated it again, and it was only then that Jabbar recovered from his thoughts of Raphael.
"Huh, what's the matter?"
"Bloodroar has sent a large army to capture us, and it should be said that it is a massacre of us. ”
Paladin sat by the campfire and calmly reported the battle ahead to Jabbar. For the pursuit of this kind of thing, Baladin and Jabbar can be said to be very familiar, when they fled from the clan, Blood Roar sent people to chase all the way, in such a dangerous situation, Jabbar and Baladin have survived, and now Jabbar's men have thousands of more people, and they don't take this kind of pursuit in their eyes at all.
"They're from the main road?"
Jabbar's brain, which was relieved from his thoughts, began to spin rapidly, for this escape route, Jabbar made a careful plan, but he didn't expect the bloody wolf cavalry to still find himself, maybe the team is too large, and it is difficult to return to the south unnoticed.
"Hmm. According to the rangers, there are also three one-eyed beasts and a small number of evil wizards among the troops chasing us. ”
"Bloodroar is not afraid of humans forming an alliance, but afraid that we will crush him from within. So it's not surprising that he didn't hesitate to send elite soldiers to chase and kill us this time. ”
Abdul-Jabbar replied thoughtfully.
"So what are we going to do next? Do we want to change the route?"
Eminem continued to ask. Abdul-Jabbar was not alone in planning the journey, Eminem and Leo were also involved, and gathering the wisdom of everyone was the most effective way for Abdul-Jabbar to lead the team. But now, Jabbar began to suspect that there might be a mole in this team, not any of the four of them, but it could be other orcs from the new joining, and it should not be the warriors of the Snowfall Clan, they are noble and kind, they will not betray Snowfall, it is possible that the orcs of other clans have revealed their whereabouts to Bloodroar.
"Yes. ”
"Come, look, this is a map of the northern continent, we are here now, the plains of Cechman, and there are only two ways we can go if we want to reach the south and join the great forces of Azhara, one is to return to Chesham, from the valley to the great plains of the south, and the other is through the dark jungle to the Great Tunnel of Mrisis. Enter the south through the underground passage. But now that both roads have been sealed off by Bloodroar's troops, I intend to divert eastwards into the great mountain range of Descartes in the east, and shake off Bloodroar's pursuers through the fog and snow. Food is hard to find in the mountains in winter, and there are more pursuers in Bloody Roar than we have with us, and the problem of food will be a big problem for them at that time. ”
Abdul-Jabbar gathered the team members together and had a brief meeting, and because the orc uncle was born with a smart little brain, almost all the team members listened to Abdul-Jabbar's arrangement all the way down.
"But the enemy has no food to eat in the snowy mountains, and so are we, even if there are more hunters in the team, we will starve if there is no prey in the snowy mountains in winter. ”
Abdul-Jabbar's plan sounded good, but Eminem the dwarf spoke first, and he didn't want to go hungry with those orc pursuers.
"I've thought of this for a long time, we have twenty-five Northern Ranger in our current team, they have been living in the wild for a long time, and there is a very peculiar food that can ensure that they spend the winter in the wild when they are short of food, this food is called Sambas, it is an elven food, and a bite can sustain life for three months. I have instructed them to intensify the preparation of this food during this time, so as to ensure that we will be fed for the rest of the day. ”
After Abdul-Jabbar finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the endless mountain peaks in the southeast, even in autumn, it was still snowy, but if he didn't venture into the mountains, this newly formed coalition army would not be able to reach the south, facing tens of thousands of orc warriors, one-eyed monsters and evil wizards, even if the combat power was strong, it was also the rhythm of being killed in seconds.
......
Two days later, at the bottom of Mount Descartes.
"Abdul-Jabbar, there's a werewolf attacking humans, should we go to the rescue?"
Vanas, the ranger, dressed lightly, ran to Abdul-Jabbar to report on his surroundings, and while scouting the terrain, the team spotted movement ahead.
"Abdul-Jabbar, we're on the run now, and we don't have time to deal with it. ”
Before Jabbar could speak, Eminem was already in front of the ranger to speak, the dwarves didn't want to cause trouble, they just wanted to get to the south as soon as possible and join their relatives, the Brute Hammer Clan.
"Dwarf, you are not right, we have gone through a lot of hardships, everything we have done is to save this world, those humans who are hunted down by werewolves, are not worth saving? Even if we are on the run now, we cannot allow brutal killing to run rampant in this world. ”
Leo is a knight of faith and a bit of dogma, but in any case, he embodies the splendor of humanity in some ways. So Eminem the dwarf and Leo the knight quarreled in front of Jabbar.
"Alright, alright. ”
In the face of the chaotic quarrel, Jabbar roared directly, the orc's volume was relatively loud, and the scene suddenly quieted down, waiting for Jabbar's next arrangement.
"Go and save them. ”
......
Slowly, Abdul-Jabbar felt that his position in the squad seemed to be increasing day by day, especially after the successful raid on the Angles Mine, as if everyone was looking for him as a leader. But it doesn't feel good, because as a leader, it's stressful, and one decision can put the whole team in danger. So, everything that happened made Jabbar hesitate a little. Like this time to leave this trip alone.
