Chapter 69: The Pursuit

Snowy forests, blue and white lines in the sky, more than a dozen gray sparrows, with bulging bellies, jumped on the snow, pecked out the fruits of late autumn under the snow from time to time, and chirped excitedly.

A small black dot the size of a sesame seed suddenly appeared in the sky, and with just a few flickers, dozens of blue-robed and silver-armored soldiers were seen chasing straight in the direction of the thin forest.

A group of soldiers, with calm and solemn expressions, even in the rapid gallop, they were secretly horned into horns by three of each other, obviously well-trained elite soldiers.

"Stop!" The squadron leader, who was resolute and resolute at the front, clenched his fist with one hand, and the fifty fighters behind him suddenly stopped, standing straight in place and not moving, without a trace of superfluous movements and superfluous sounds from beginning to end.

"There are no traces here!" the squadron leader quickly flipped over the feeding place of the sparrows, and the small and messy footprints completely destroyed the subtle traces left by the fugitives.

"In groups of three, each of them will disperse to look for traces of the enemy, whether they find it or not, and return here in ten minutes to assemble!" the squadron leader who stood up ordered sharply, and the solemn soldiers behind him agreed in a loud voice, looking in different directions in groups of three.

In the sound of swift and orderly footsteps, a group of city guards quickly disappeared into the dead woods, leaving only the squadron leader and five squad leaders standing in place and waiting.

"Squadron Leader, the Seventh Squadron has already chased to the front, do you see if we should also speed up a little, that monkey is worth five thousand gold coins, if you bring him back, when Captain Kane is transferred, it must be you to take over the position of the captain!" Walking to the side of the squadron leader, the lean squad leader asked suspiciously, the speed of their march is not fast, if there is a delay here for another ten minutes, in case the little monkey is captured by the squad in front, wouldn't it be a merit to others.

"Bring it back, just by those idiots of the seventh squad?" the squadron leader sneered disdainfully as he looked at the direction of the orc's hasty escape, "Let's go slower and recuperate our strength, and wait until the seventh squadron has no strength to fight that orc."

A sneer, although it was not explained, but the heart of the fisherman was clearly revealed.

"Head, that monkey was injured by the captain, if it is succeeded by the seventh squadron," the other captain stepped forward and said with a slight concern.

"Aiken, you underestimate that monkey too much!" The squadron leader stroked the blade of the heavy big sword in his hand, and said with a grim smile, "You are far from knowing how terrifying the captain's strength is, that monkey can fight with the captain for so long, even if he is seriously injured, it is not something we can easily kill, let others consume his physical strength!

As a squadron leader, he knows far more than squad leaders, and he will never forget in his life that Kane easily defeated all of their squadron leaders with one punch after he advanced to a high-level fighter.

"Captain Wise" Several squad leaders immediately humbly flattered, once the squadron leader was promoted to captain, then these descendants naturally followed together to ascend to heaven.

"Captain has a situation!" An exclamation came from the woods, and the originally leisurely captains instantly straightened their bodies like javelins, and their strength rolled up a layer of snow and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

"God is the Seventh Squadron!" the scene in the forest made everyone stunned, and a soldier murmured violently.

The originally white snow had been completely stained red by a large splash of blood, turning into a lump of black and red ice lumps.

The city guards, dressed in the same costume as them, staggered to the ground on the blood ice, their familiar faces full of fear, most of the corpses were strangely shaped twisted and overlapped, obviously caused by forcibly breaking the muscles and bones with great force, and even a few heads that had long been out of breath hung weakly on their buttocks.

The thickened steel armor did not play the slightest protective role, or twisted and deformed, or simply scattered all over the ground, and there were not many messy footprints on the blood-colored ground, and it was obvious that these elite warriors, barely making any useful resistance, were hunted down by the other party.

"Squadron Leader, there are fifty corpses in total, except for Squadron Leader Eric, everyone in the Seventh Squadron is here!" The soldier who quickly checked the corpses on the ground reported to the squadron leader with a pale face, his eyes full of uneasiness.

The squadron leader's face was gloomy, and after listening to the soldier's report, Sen Leng glanced at the surrounding woods, and then his gaze suddenly froze, and his figure flashed and rushed towards the forest.

The rest of the city guards immediately drew their weapons with nervous faces, and they hurriedly followed.

The figure flickered, and the squadron leader soon came to a tall tree, and his face suddenly became even more ugly,

A stout corpse almost a meter above the ground, pierced through the chest by a delicate sword, fixed to the trunk of the tree, its head and limbs drooping weakly to the ground, wisps of blood had already been frozen into sharp blood-colored ice cubes.

There is no need to lift the other party's head at all, they have worked together for many years, and they can easily tell from their size that this corpse is the leader of the seventh squadron, Eric.

"They have been dead for no more than an hour, let me catch up immediately, I will cut off the head of that filthy Munk with my own hands!" "After working together for many years, although there are many discords between them, a killing intent still can't help but come to their hearts, and the squadron leader Sen Leng roared.

The sound of swift steps, the city guards chased after them at a speed far ahead, not only for revenge, but also because after the fight of the seventh squadron, how much physical strength did the seriously injured monkey have to resist their capture?

Soon after the city guards left, they initially scared away where the sparrows stood, and the snow layer full of stray footprints suddenly wriggled, and Xia Zuo weakly lifted the snow, lying on the snow with his back facing the sky, gulping down the cool fresh air.

The severe soreness all over his body made it a little difficult for Xia Zuo to even get up from the ground now, although he quickly killed the chasing squadron that was rounded up with thunderous means, but Xia Zuo was far from being as easy as it seemed at the scene.

The sequelae of forcibly using the Eight Extremes Collapse to stimulate the potential of the body have appeared, if it weren't for the continuous extreme training before, with the current broken body and completely overdrawn physical strength, Xia Zuo may not even be able to do simple movements.

Even so, when he killed the squadron leader just now, he also caused old injuries and paid a lot of price.

"Ahem" hoarse and whispered cough, Xia Zuo covered his ** chest and gasped violently, bursts of cone stinging pain continued to torment Xia Zuo's nerves, at least three ribs were broken by Kane in the previous battle, although they were forcibly fixed together with fighting spirit, but after the fierce battle just now, the fracture stabbed wildly.

The wound on his arm that was more than a foot long was deep to the bone, and Xia Zuo had several layers of cloth wrapped around it, which had already been infiltrated by blood, and Xia Zuo was using the price of the wound in exchange for the opportunity to kill the squadron leader with one blow.

Fortunately, it was freezing and the snow everywhere helped Xia Zuo slow down the speed of blood flow, otherwise just this hideous wound bleeding would be enough to kill Xia Zuo.

"Jump" A discordant sound came into the ears.

"The sound of the machine spring" Xia Zuo's face changed suddenly, and his body that was paralyzed on the ground quickly rolled to the left, and where he passed, a crossbow arrow made of stainless steel, with a "whoosh" roar, almost attached to Xia Zuo's body, burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

The curled up body leaped and quickly dodged behind a thick tree.

The clean and neat penetrating sound of "Dong Dong Dong" was loud, and a half-foot-long steel crossbow arrow with a strange blue luster almost followed Xia Zuo's body and flew into the gray trunk, and the half-foot-long crossbow body almost completely sank into the trunk, leaving only an inch of tail, vibrating violently, and emitting a crisp low sound.

"Damn it" Undisguised footsteps sounded, and Xia Zuo, who looked cold, couldn't help but curse in his heart, and at the same time, he knew that the serious injury had greatly reduced his perception, and he didn't even notice it when he walked so closely.

The sound of two footsteps, one heavy and one light, was heavy first, and it was not difficult to hear that the owner must be a tall and burly man, and from the "creaking" sound of the snow being crushed, the other party definitely had a weapon in his hand.

The light footsteps were undetectable, almost completely hiding the figure in the sound of heavy footsteps, a very fast and strange warrior, most likely a night walker, Xia Zuo quickly had an estimate in his heart.

"Little bastard, hide pretty fast, I said I would break your neck with my own hands!" A sinister smile came from behind the big tree behind him, and his loud voice with a bloody aura made Xia Zuo feel a sense of déjà vu.

Cautiously tentatively stretched out his head to look, almost at the moment when Xia Zuo's head poked out, a slight sound of machine springs sounded, and the blue steel crossbow arrow almost stuck to Xia Zuo's head who was in a hurry, and the slightly sweet taste made Xia Zuo's head shake slightly.

"I'm in trouble!" Although the time was short, it was enough for Xia Zuo to see the figures of the two people behind the tree, and he couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

The two mercenaries, one majestic and one slender but equally full of blood, are the Bain brothers who have met in Buffett's tavern.

Being able to leave an impression on Xia Zuo has already shown the strength of these brothers, the peak of intermediate warriors, and they have fighting skills, in terms of personal strength, they will definitely not be inferior to the squadron leader of the city guard.

Moreover, the two are siblings of the same mother, brothers, and have cooperated for many years, and the strength of the two is definitely doubled, if they are not injured, although there will be some trouble, but it is not difficult to kill the two.

But now Xia Zuo, who was already in a cold sweat because of the action just now, couldn't help but smile bitterly, in the gap between the opponent's attack, Xia Zuo's brain spun rapidly, and began to look for a gap in the two of them that could allow him to win.
