Chapter 59: Wolves
In less than a quarter of an hour, Shado, Dean, Sammy and Devane met at the south gate of Savile Town with their respective squads, and more than forty people dressed in the same attire made a stop there, which was quite imposing.
In Xia Duo's opinion, this is the posture of an ordinary high school class on the earth in physical education class, which is far from that of a real soldier!
But even so, it attracted frequent attention from the people who were waiting in line at the gate of the town to enter.
The four teams, divided into two groups, briefly introduced the people on both sides, and then went to their respective mission areas.
Area 12 of the Mage Tower, about 200 meters wide, stretches from entering the forest to the foot of the Wolf God Mountain, where the orcs are located in the south.
Of course, Xia Duo and the others did not need to clean up all the way to the foot of the Wolf God Mountain, they only needed to clean up along this narrow area, and try to sweep away the orcs who were routed or fled from the frontal battlefield in front.
Since this time it was mainly for the recruits to train their courage, Xia Duo's team and Dean's team did not go separately, but entered the forest together, Xia Duo and Dean were in the middle, and the team leaders on both sides accompanied them.
The rest were scattered around.
Before he came, Xia Duo had already planned, first to sweep away a few goblin camps.
He still remembers that he had just crossed over and met a goblin, and he was almost scared to pee at that time, but fortunately the goblin was scared away first, otherwise something more embarrassing might have happened.
"Captain Gib, you are more familiar with the forest than me, take us to a goblin camp to practice first."
"No problem, Ava has already gone to the front to explore the way, let's follow the route he marked, there are too many goblins in the forest to kill, it's better to clean up a little now, so as not to be coerced by the orcs and rush into the territory!"
As he spoke, Gibb pointed to a tree full of scratches and explained to Xia Duo that there were certain explanations about which scratches corresponded to what. The people who mingle in the forest, whether adventurers or soldiers of the territory, follow a set of conventional scratch terminology.
Of course, in addition to the conventional scratch terminology, it is more of a mark of the internal conventions of various small circles.
Xia Duo was confused, this kind of experience is not something that can be obtained by others once or twice.
β¦β¦
"There is a situation! Alert! β
As he passed a marker tree, Gibb suddenly shouted, and then lowered the large shield behind his back and held it in his hand.
And except for the people who were originally soldiers or adventurers, each calmly formed a defensive formation, the others were more or less nervous, and Xia Duo even entered a state of concentration in casting spells in an instant.
Get ready to unleash spells at any time!
And after seeing the formation of the two squads cooperating with each other to resist the formation, Xia Duo had the heart to speak, "Captain Gib, what's the situation?" β
Gibb didn't look back, just said, "There are wolves hunting for food in front!" β
Hearing this, Xia Duo immediately looked at the mark tree, trying to analyze what the latest scratches on it meant, but he quickly reacted, and his curiosity was offended again, so he hurriedly asked:
"Do you know how many wolves there are in the pack? How is the combat effectiveness? Can we cope? β
"There are about 4 to 6 wolves in general, and the wolves found by Ava this time are 6, as for the combat effectiveness, there are high and low, we can generally deal with it, but-"
While the two were talking, a high-pitched wolf howl came from the front, followed by several distinctly different wolf howls.
Gibb shouted, "Oh no, the wolves have spotted us, we better kill them, or they will always follow us, ready to sneak up on us." Master Shado, the wolves are not suitable for new recruits to practice, Captain Uke and I will lead people to deal with them, and you will defend on the spot. β
Then he looked at the most experienced of the recruits, "Idim, all the recruits protect Master Shado, Captain Uke, let's go up and see who leads someone to kill first!" β
"Good!" Uke immediately accepted Gibb's challenge, "The recruits stay to protect the mage, and the others will go!" β
After saying that, he rushed out with a large shield, and behind him, a veteran soldier and three former adventurer recruits, also rushed out.
Xia Duo looked at a group of nervous recruits around him, and he was a little nervous, but he still forced his composure, and joked with Dean:
"Dean, who do you think will win?"
"I-" Dean was barely relieving, "I think Uke should win!" β
Although he often supports Uk and looks down on him a little, at critical moments, Dean still hopes that Uk will win, after all, they are a small team.
"Not really." Xia Duo smiled, of course he was quite Gibb, besides, if there is not an Ava who does not know the depths, maybe 6 wolves are not enough for Ava to kill alone!
While waiting, Xia Duo used the [Secret Seal] to locate and contact Sami and Dewann in Area 13 and informed him of some of the situations he had encountered.
Soon, Sammy also sent a message, and the two of them had just finished cleaning up a goblin camp, and Sammy had killed a goblin with his own hands!
Seeing that both sides were going well, Xia Duo did not send another message, but maintained a state of concentration, "observing" the state of the magic net, with his current strength, he could probably only perceive the distance within 2 or 3 meters relatively clearly.
No matter how far away it is, it is like looking at the river from a distance, as if it is still, and it is difficult to perceive.
By this time the howls of the wolves ahead had begun to change, and had become short and rapid, as if several angry old men were arguing.
With a final shrill wail, there was no movement at all, and then there was a dull creaking sound, and Jesse, not stained with blood, stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground and returned.
"Master Chardo, Master Dean, the wolves in front have been cleared, the captain they are dealing with the loot, he asked me to take you over."
Before Xia Duo could speak, Dean couldn't wait to ask, "Who won?" β
"Of course we won!"
Jesse hammered his chest hard, a look of course on his face, "Master Chardo, let's hurry over." β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
The recruits were still nervous, most of them hadn't even killed goblins, let alone fought with wolves, and Xia Duo looked at them with mixed feelings.
Without actual combat training, God knows how many casualties you will have in a battle with the orcs, and of course, it is more likely that they will be scattered in one go.
"Magicβ"
Xia Duo subconsciously touched the scroll box on his waist, it would be nice if there was a bard's spell or a priest's magic to dispel fear, boost morale, and even bless combat strength.
There are so many uses!
Soon, the group came to the position where Jib and others fought with the wolf, 5 people were on guard on the periphery, and 6 people were surrounding to peel wolf skin and cut wolf meat.
The wolf's blood was scattered everywhere on the ground, but fortunately, it was late autumn at this time, and the fallen leaves had already covered the ground, so there was no scene of blood flowing into the river.
