Chapter Seventy-One: Unlucky!
"Waste is all waste" The angry roar resounded through the barracks, and the solemn council hall of the city guards trembled in the thunderous sound of Kane, and the dust that had been deposited on the beams on the top of the hall for many years was sprinkled with a huge wave of shock.
His Royal Highness made a hand, and the seven squad leaders knelt on one knee, their heads flushed with shame buried deep in their chests.
On the bluestone ground behind the seven people, one hundred and two corpses covered with white cloth were neatly stacked, and the seventh squadron and the ninth squadron of the city guard, including the squadron leader, were all lying here.
Coupled with the Eighth Squadron that was killed by Xia Zuo in the city, three of the ten squadrons of the Sarnia City Guard were already in vain.
The broken leg that was fixed was wrapped in layers of bloated gauze, and Kane stood angrily on crutches, surrounded by a huge stone pillar that the two of them hugged together, and was smashed into a basin-sized gap.
"You are simply a disgrace to the emperor!" Kane roared angrily, spat scattered like raindrops on the lowered head in front of him.
Nine squadrons of more than 450 elite soldiers went to hunt down a seriously injured orc, for a full five days, either they did not encounter a shadow at all, or they were killed by the other party, if this thing spread, he Kane will always carry this shame, don't want to look up in front of his colleagues.
As soon as he roared, the anger in Kane's heart was also vented, looking at the seven squadron leaders who had been sleepless for several days and a little haggard, he also knew in his heart that they had indeed gone all out, and the mercenary union also gained nothing and suffered a lot of losses.
Thinking of the orc's eyes when he was leaving, Kane sighed helplessly, "When you go back, you recommend three new squadron leaders to come out and recruit troops in the city of Salnia, and all the city guards will train and prepare for war with the highest intensity!"
"Yes, Captain!" a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and the seven squadron leaders replied in a high-pitched voice.
"Okay, let's all go down and rest!" waved his hand tiredly, since the other party had already run away, it was useless to pursue it, so he could only prepare for the war with all his strength and wait until the cold winter passed, and then completely get rid of the young orc who made him secretly frightened.
While Kane was furious in the barracks, Xia Zuo, who made him think about tea and dinner, was also in a very bad situation.
It took a full five days for Xia Zuo to finally shake off the pursuit of the city guards and mercenaries behind him.
When he stepped on the land of the Gravel Wasteland again, Xia Zuo's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of joy at home, but the cruel Gravel Wasteland obviously didn't understand Xia Zuo's friendship, and it only took less than an hour to turn the joy in Xia Zuo's heart into the most vicious curse.
"Damn the weather, damn the gravel wasteland!" "Fighting through the howling blizzard, the vicious curses that kept coming out of his mouth that were enough to shock the goblin orcs were far from representing Xia Zuo's bad mood at the moment.
The five-day escape did not allow Xia Zuo's injuries to recover, and even after several unavoidable battles in a row, the old injuries that were constantly triggered became more and more severe.
Originally, he thought that after rushing back to the gravel wasteland, the pressure would be easier, but Xia Zuo didn't expect that only an hour after he walked into the gravel wasteland, as if to repay the sigh in his heart, a violent wind suddenly rose on the white snowfield without warning.
His legs were heavy as if hanging on these two hills, wheezing violently on his brows, and layers of hoarfrost hung on the tips of his hair, making Xia Zuo look like a white-haired savage in the cold wind.
The physical strength that was difficult to recover barely supported the body to get close in the cold wind, and the almost ** body was frozen by the blizzard into a strange pale color with a light blue.
Even if most of his body almost didn't obey the call, Xia Zuo would never dare to stop.
A thunderous "coo" roared from Xia Zuo's shriveled stomach, and for five days he had only eaten some simple food he had found from mercenaries and city guards.
The Saiyan's urgent need for food, which is also what worries Xia Zuo the most, Xia Zuo, whose eyes have been blackened by hunger, can clearly feel that with the roar of his stomach, his physical strength is dissipating from his tired body little by little.
"Stampede" was extremely faint crushing sound, and the slight footsteps were almost completely hidden in the howling blizzard, if it weren't for the Saiyan's strong fighting instinct, he wouldn't have noticed anything even if the other party walked behind him.
Xia Zuo frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from, his heart suddenly tightened, although the other party noticed his movements and moved quickly, but Xia Zuo still caught a blurred black shadow that flashed and disappeared in the whistling white storm.
"Grass" burst out angrily, Xia Zuo helplessly asked himself if he could still be unlucky, although it was only a blur, but it was not difficult to analyze the other party's body shape from the outline, a black wolf with the size of a calf and skinny wood was attracted by Xia Zuo, who was wandering in the wasteland with a lot of injuries.
Wolves are hunters in packs, and there are few lone wolves that wander independently in the wasteland, and if they lose the strength of the group, in the dangerous gravel wasteland, they do not have an advantage in individual strength, and the status of the predator will be completely reversed.
And the lone wolf behind him is only one that may make him wander in the wasteland, lose its throne or fail in the challenge to the throne, either is enough to show its strength, although it is skinny, but its brutality and ferocity are definitely far above the supremacy of ordinary wild wolves.
In a flash, the blue oil eyes were full of cold killing intent and a hungry gaze that was even more hungry than Xia Zuo, and the greedy eyes were hidden in the wind and snow, and Xia Zuo was completely looked at with the eyes of food.
If he didn't even need fifty percent of his strength in normal times, Xia Zuo could easily tear such a wasteland wolf in half, but now that he was dragging this tired and weak body, this wild wolf had become his biggest threat along the way.
Completely relying on the body supported by the will, walking forward mechanically, Xia Zuo, who was looking at the six roads, temporarily forgot the exhaustion of his body.
The howling blizzard, the surrounding world is all white, the cunning hunter hidden in the wind and snow, is not in a hurry to attack, smart it is just waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the tired prey to fall, so that it can catch the prey with minimal consumption.
Xia Zuo still moved forward as usual, and the wild wolf also quietly followed behind, waiting for the opportunity to attack, almost only once for the tired and hungry sides.
In the roaring blizzard, a duel of perseverance unfolded silently on the figures one after the other.
"Damn" Xia Zuo, who was moving forward against the cold wind, scolded secretly in his heart, as if he had kicked something under his feet, his eyes were dark, and he stumbled forward and fell.
"Stomping" the pace of the rapid raid, how could the hunter who had been hiding in the wind and snow give up this good opportunity that was waiting for him and flew up from behind Xia Zuo.
The claws grabbed Xia Zuo's shoulders, it is a very experienced predator, and the attack from behind can make it the most perfect use of the weight of its body, once the opponent is knocked down, the claws piercing into the shoulder blades will make the opponent completely unable to resist.
The staggered canine teeth full of saliva, with a hungry hideous roar, bit Xia Zuo's neck mercilessly.
The swift footsteps instantly sounded behind him, and Xia Zuo, who was dizzy and blurry in front of him, was startled, and bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, a bloody gas spread in his mouth, and the severe pain stimulated his nerves, and Xia Zuo barely stood firm.
There is absolutely no turning back in the face of a wild wolf's attack from behind, and the moment you turn your head, it is enough for the other party to bite your throat.
"Die" Xia Zuo's eyes were round, and he didn't turn back, he kicked behind him with a short foot, even if his body was exhausted to the extreme, his full kick was a great threat to the wild wolf.
The touch is full of hard bones, heavy resistance comes from the feet, and the wild wolf, which is also crazy for food, bursts out with a far more powerful impact than imagined.
In the wail, the skinny body the size of a calf was kicked more than ten meters away.
But the fluttering claws still slashed through Xia Zuo's shoulders and necks, bringing up two splashes of flesh and blood, and at the same time, he was shocked by the powerful force of the rushing wolf and staggered a few steps forward, falling headlong into the thick snow.
The pain of tearing his back into the snow and the blood seeping into it, and his whole body was weak and weak, as if it was not his own at all, and it was extremely difficult to move even one finger.
The wild wolf that was kicked away in the distance staggered to his feet, his thin limbs couldn't help trembling, and the place where his left rib was kicked by Xia Zuo collapsed slightly, obviously the injury was not light.
"Whoa" hoarse and furious howl, the cold wind blew the dark wolf and trembled, the wild wolf who stood up with difficulty, looked at Xia Zuo who was lying motionless not far away, his blue eyes were suddenly bloodshot, and the instinct under the hunger trend made it step away from its heavy limbs and walk towards Xia Zuo with a trembling step.
Xia Zuo could see the movements of the wild wolf clearly, but in the face of the slowly approaching hungry wolf, his weak body could not move at all.
A bitter smile appeared on his face, thinking that he Xia Zuo was also very intimidating in the Gravel Wasteland, and even in a battle with a high-level warrior, he could escape alive, but he didn't want to be forced into a desperate situation by a skinny lone wolf in this wasteland.
At a distance of more than ten meters, it took more than ten minutes for the thin wild wolf to move to Xia Zuo's side step by step, his blue eyes looked at his prey, without the slightest mercy, although this meal was far from enough for him to survive the difficult winter, but at least his hungry and tired body could recover some strength, so that it could find prey and launch the next hunt.
"Huh" A hoarse roar came from the depths of his throat, and the wild wolf opened its big mouth with interlaced canine teeth, and couldn't wait to bite Xia Zuo's neck.
The wild wolf who was anxiously eating didn't notice the change in his eyes at lunch, and at the moment when the wild wolf opened his mouth to bite, Xia Zuo, who had accumulated more than ten minutes of physical strength, was finally able to raise his hands and suddenly grabbed the long mouth that the wolf tore from.
"Ah" grabbed the wolf's upper and lower jaws with both hands, and Xia Zuo, who roared madly, squeezed out the last trace of physical strength from the cracks in his bones and from the gaps in his muscles.
With a crisp and crisp sound, the roof of the wolf's jaw was broken by Xia Zuosheng, and the heavy body suddenly collapsed, pressing on Xia Zuo's body, the stinking and hot wolf blood carried the flesh and blood, and Xia Zuo was full of face.
Instead of avoiding it, Xia Zuo hurriedly opened his mouth and leaned towards the wolf's fracture, swallowing the stinky and hot wolf blood into his stomach.
