Chapter 1: Escape

Next Chapter

Perhaps some people have thought about the question of how the rain comes from a long time ago, especially with such continuous rainy weather. Mo Ren sat on the treetops and thought.

This kind of weather is perfect for escaping anywhere, and although it slows down, the smell will quickly dissipate due to the continuous rain and cold, humid wind, especially in such forests.

The group of 5,000 men cowered at the edge of the lake, eating dry food that had long been soaked, they did not dare to hunt, for fear of alarming the pursuers, if they were lucky, someone would catch fish wandering in the river, no one dared to make a fire, they had no cooked food.

Everyone's face was so nervous that they couldn't do it, everyone was cautious, not daring to be a little negligent, in the great wilderness forest, on the way to escape, even the slightest negligence could put their companions in a dangerous situation.

In the early morning, the rain was still unleashed, and according to the plan, they would leave the river and lurk towards the forest, along which they had been fleeing for a day and a night, and their pursuers who could not find them in the forest would soon be chased to the river.

As Captain Shirahoshi raised the flag, the five thousand people quickly and quietly sneaked into the forest.

Seven days ago, this team encountered the most fearful thing for them to leave their hometown, they were ambushed by the orc army, although they were alert to find out in advance and took a detour, but the orc army quickly pursued, and the team in charge of the broken team of 100 people has not caught up with the team so far, everyone knows that the team is more than lucky, and the new team after the break has been leaving pre-negotiated marks along the road.

There may be siblings in the squad, or close friends of theirs, even if they never knew each other, no one likes the dead, and no one likes the comrades who used to get along day and night to die before they have even started their real journey.

This group of young faces is always nervous, sad and tired, and this is just the beginning, the beginning that young people with infinite possibilities must go through. The school teacher once said to them that in the great wilderness, you have to protect yourself, you have to make yourself strong, you can protect your companions, you can protect your homeland.

Mo Ren, as the sentry of the broken back team, has been marking the team that has not caught up with the team, waiting for them to catch up with the team.

The rain was still falling, and it was dangerous to escape into the forest, and in addition to the pursuers, they also needed to guard against the attacks of wild beasts, and even more importantly, they needed to eliminate the traces left by them, and no one knew if the pursuers would suddenly burst out of the grass.

Captain Shirahoshi was quite delicate but buried domineering face full of tiredness and anxiety, he looked at the map given by the city lord when he left his hometown, and discussed the escape route with his companions, for them, the battle was only futile, and the orc army would only increase.

"Let Mo Ren come over. Shirahoshi said to the team member closest to him, the team member was named Phantom Dust, and even though he thought he was smarter and more capable than Mo Ren, he had to obey the captain's orders, although he didn't think Mo Ren could help much.

Soon Phantom Dust replaced Mo Ren's position, and Mo Ren came to Bai Xing.

"Captain. Mo Ren said to Bai Xing.

Bai Xing looked at Mo Ren who walked in front of him and said, "Mo Ren, where do you think we should flee to, the ghost domain in the north, the mountains infested with wild beasts in the south, and the swamps in the west, we can't just go back to the city for refuge soon after leaving the city." ”

"I recommend someone to you, Hikoshi, who will definitely be able to figure it out. ”

"Hikoshi, that little deflated three, okay! Let Hikoshi come over. Bai Xing's eyes were full of doubts, and he seemed to report the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Soon, the herald delivered the news, and the skinny Hikoshi came to Mo Ren's side and said to Bai Xing, "Captain." ”

Hikoshi was so thin that he could even see the outline of his facial bones, but his big black and white eyes were shining.

"Yanzhi, do you have a way to get the team out of the pursuit of the beasts?" Bai Xing looked at the person recommended by his friend Mo Ren.

"There's no way, being chased and killed by the wolf riders of the orcs in the wilderness is only a dead end, unless we hide in a region that even the orcs dare not enter, otherwise when the rain stops, it will be when we are destroyed. ”

"You mean the Ghost Domain?" asked Shirahoshi.

"Well, only by passing through the ghost domain and entering the great wilderness in the north can you escape the pursuit of the beasts. ”

"Do you know what's in the Ghost Realm? I've heard that the Ghost Clan never allows outsiders to set foot in their territory. ”

"But legend has it that the ghost clan never participated in the struggle of foreign races. We are just borrowing that there are very few races other than the orcs that will embarrass the pioneers of the human race. Hikoshi looked at Shirahoshi who was thinking and waited for the captain to make a decision.

Shirahoshi sighed deeply and said, "Both left and right are dead, and it seems that you can only fight." ”

There was no rain that would never stop, and it was already noon, and the warm sunlight began to shine into the forest after the rain, illuminating the fleeing team, and the happy mood fell to the bottom, and the stopped rain meant that the wolf riders of the orcs had regained their sense of smell on which they depended. Soon the ferocious orc army will catch up with the young pioneers.

Shirahoshi ordered all the team members to speed up, they were only half a day's journey away from the ghost domain, and perhaps only by entering the ghost domain could they avoid the pursuit of the orc army.

Mo Ren returned to his post as a sentry, and the broken squad never caught up with the team. Mo Ren and his teammates carefully wiped out the traces and smells of the team, which was no easy job.

As expected, the orc army quickly caught up with the team, and Mo Ren had already heard the howl of wolves and the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

"Enemy attack!" Mo Ren shouted, but the arrow was already close in front of him, shooting the head of one of the team members, and the red and white brains splashed Mo Ren's face.

Then came the command for Shirahoshi to move forward at full speed.

However, the wolf rider of the beast clan was already close at hand, and the wolf knight had already drawn his giant sword and rushed towards the team. The giant wolf flexibly shuttled through the forest, as simple as a hundred-meter sprint, opening up another battle of disparity in strength between these two races that had accumulated deep hatred, one side was a young pioneer who had just walked out of the city not long ago, and the other was a wolf rider team of the orc clan who had been active in the Great Wilderness for many years.

Mo Ren and the broken team all took out their weapons and fought with the wolf riders, the young pioneers always lacked combat experience, and the battle showed a one-sided trend, but fortunately, there were many outstanding combat geniuses in the team, and they barely delayed the wolf rider team.

And the army of the beasts will soon arrive on the battlefield, and both sides of the battle want to delay as much time as possible, one side wants to evacuate as soon as possible, and the other side wants reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

After harvesting the lives of many orc wolf riders, Mo Ren's two iron ges were besieged and had to withdraw from the battlefield to resist in groups, while his teammates stood and retreated, waiting for rescue.

At this time, Shirahoshi rushed over with a number of team members, they were the strongest warriors of this team, and the gradually defeated wolf riders began to retreat, but they always followed this team, conducting sneak attacks from time to time, waiting for the arrival of the beast army.

Every member of the team ran desperately, and I don't know how long they ran, but they were delayed by the other wolf rider squads that were constantly reinforced.

It was already evening, and it was only ten miles away from the ghost domain, and only the final sprint was left.

The orcs seemed to see through the intentions of this group of humans, and began to attack at any cost, arrows, flying spears, and the big knives of wolf riders continued to harvest the lives of this group of young people. Constant team members rushed out of the team to fight with the wolf riders, in order to delay their brothers.

There were already neat and rapid footsteps behind him, getting closer and closer, the orc army had arrived, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the jungle, and the black suppressed orc soldiers.

In front of the team is a dark ghost domain, the sky of the ghost domain is gloomy, the sunlight seems to never be able to invade the dark ghost domain, the team members have seen the withered plants of the ghost domain, the vanguard has entered the junction without sunlight, the temperature has dropped terribly, they seem to have jumped into the ice cave from the warm bed.

The arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain, blocking out the sunlight and seemingly expanding the scope of the ghost domain, and the team members raised their shields to defend against the deadly arrows. Someone keeps falling down and never getting up again.

After the break, the captain Bai Xing, the squad leader, and Mo Ren and others saw the team members entering the ghost domain one after another, looking at the overwhelming beast soldiers, and began to flee without their lives, they wanted to protect the large army, but also to protect themselves. After all, no one is so strong as to want to die like this.

The soldiers of the beast clan also did not pursue lifelessly, once this group of humans entered the ghost domain, they would have no choice, the beast clan and the ghost clan had a great enmity, and the beast clan entered the ghost domain only a dead end, even if it was only one step. And this matter, the orcs never spread it, but it was still leaked.

The orc general kept ordering the troops to speed up, but he could only watch the human team continue to pour into the ghost domain, and he ordered all the wolf riders to attack, but the wolf riders were already scarce and could only harass and attack.

But the few wolf riders still tied up the broken team, just like the team that had voluntarily broken off many days ago to cover the escape of their companions.

There are constantly team members dying unexpectedly, Shirahoshi can only use his broadsword to avenge his dead team members, everyone is red-eyed, but they are still a mile away from the ghost domain, this mile of distance, it seems that their death sentence is announced, they look at the approaching orc army, they have begun to despair.

Finally, all the members except for the broken queen team have entered the ghost domain, and only the broken queen team, including the captain Bai Xing, is still fighting with the beast wolf horsemen who have beaten like chicken blood, and the beast army has launched the final charge, and the beast general has ordered the broken team to be captured alive.

Bai Xing and the others were still fighting, his big knife was already stained with the green and disgusting blood of the beast clan, the most embarrassing was Mo Ren, his whole body was covered with foul-smelling beast blood, and his two short knives were really not a good weapon.

Although the teacher in the academy taught them how to face death calmly, but really face death, how can they be calm, they have already given up procrastination, and want to sprint to the ghost domain with their lives, but the high-intensity battle makes it difficult for them to move an inch, they are the most powerful warriors in this team, and losing their entire team is like losing the blade.

The orc army had already rushed in, and with a head-on blow, a third of the warriors fell. The remaining warriors can only make the last resistance, and the more they kill, the more they earn.

At this time, the team members who had already entered the ghost domain looked anxiously at their captain, their squad leader, and their friends and brothers who were fighting for their lives. They looked at the black and overwhelming beast army, their hearts burning with fire, but they were afraid of death.

After all, they haven't been able to see through life and death, no matter how strong their physical skills are, they are just mortals.

"Get the captain back. Someone roared, followed by the roar of all the team members, who had already taken up their weapons, abandoned the safety of the ghost realm, and rushed into the sun, and the ghost cried wolf and rushed to death.

"Go back, are you going to let us die in vain?" Shirahoshi roared, but his voice was buried in the clashing of weapons and the roars of the team.

His knife seemed to feel anxious, and his knife slashed lifelessly at the ugly orc soldiers. Tears flowed out of his eyes without any feeling, but they were hidden by the blood on his face.

"Bang!"

The frantic team and the well-armed orc soldiers collided together, and the ridicule in the eyes of the orc soldiers was cleared by the violent impact, and this impact knocked all the orc soldiers back. And in this gap, the team members rushed over to set up the scarred soldiers, and no one had any extra movements, turned around, and fled for their lives.
