Chapter 218: The Call of the Heart
The Monroe family was in a small hill in the valley of Yaoyao, and caves had been dug out in the belly of that mountain, and the caves were crisscrossed with each other, and many powerful defenses were arranged in them.
Han Shuo came from the sky and stopped on a towering ancient tree more than ten meters high, his eyes looking towards the noisy sound source.
I saw that the caves where the Monroe family had soldiers were stationed, there was billowing smoke, and some of the cave entrances were blazing, and it seemed that they should be burned inside.
In those caves, many stone chambers were excavated, and the stone chambers were like rooms, with some living equipment in them, and many of the stone chambers were even more luxurious than some shops in the Yao Valley.
At the exit of the hill, a group of people who were quick to move with their heads covered and their faces, and some fire magicians in it chanted fire magic from time to time, spewing out tongues of fire towards the mouth of the cave.
This group of people acted quickly and cooperated very tacitly, and the fire magicians set the fire, and the wind magicians used the wind to help the spread of the fire. Several archers armed with bows and arrows forced the Monroe family members who poked their heads out of the cave into the cave.
The entire hill covers a huge area, and after the empty belly of the mountain was excavated, there were many large and small caves and stone chambers. The troublemakers were only destroying a hill corner, and as soon as people from other places came to help, they immediately retreated and hid in the surrounding bushes.
They are obviously extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain, and they are very good at this kind of fighting to change places, once someone finds their tracks, they immediately retreat while fighting and quickly move away, and then go around in a big circle, and come from another place to destroy for a while.
If it were in a normal state, this group of troublemakers, with only a few dozen people, would most likely fall into a catastrophe of death when the first wave of attacks was found to have not retreated.
However, the situation of the Monroe family is also very chaotic, and this group of troublemakers who are scurrying around are not the main force this time at all. A group of bandits with four or five hundred people dressed in disorderly clothes are the focus of the Monroe family's care, and these robbers don't know for what purpose, they just gather around the Monroe family and attack anyone who comes out of the cave, and the two sides are fighting inextricably.
Standing in the distance and looking at it for a while, Han Shuo looked at Trunks and his gang, taking advantage of the scuffle between the two parties to make trouble everywhere, and couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't expect that Trunks actually had this talent. This mission against the Monroe family was originally just intended to arouse the Monroe family's suspicion of several other forces, but knowing that this situation had actually evolved, it was a little surprising to Han Shuo.
More centaurs, wearing shiny armor and armed with sharp weapons, returned from a road far away. From the costumes, Han Shuo could clearly tell that this group of people was also from the Monroe family, there were about five or six hundred people, all of them were extraordinary, and they should be the elite troops of the Monroe family.
The direction in which the group returned was exactly where Trunks and his party were staying, Han Shuo saw that Trunks and his party did not find a possible crisis, and planned to make trouble again, and finally stopped standing still and flew towards them.
The sky has turned white, and the stars are hidden in the depths of the canopy at some point, and it seems that it will soon be dawn. Just as Trunks was about to take advantage of the chaos for the last time, a dark shadow fell in front of him with a "whoosh".
Trunks, who was startled, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that it was actually Han Shuo, and said, "Why are you here?"
"I passed by here, and I happened to see the elite of the Monroe family returning, so I was going to come in from here, let's leave quickly, right?" Han Shuo smiled slightly, didn't say much nonsense, and told Trunks about the current situation.
Upon hearing the return of the elite of the Monroe family, Trunks let out a low roar and made a gesture towards the mercenaries in the distance.
These are all masked guys, as soon as they saw Trunks' gestures, they immediately understood, and instead of gathering together to leave, they became more and more scattered among themselves, one by one by taking advantage of the terrain to hide their figures, and gradually disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go!" Trunks was not idle, he turned his head and smiled at Han Shuo, and his body drilled into the dense bushes.
The towering ancient trees were covered with thick snow, obscuring the light in the sky above, and the dense bushes were difficult to walk, but Trunks' figure was unhindered, and he led Han Shuo through many winding paths, and in half an hour, away from the Monroe family's mountain, appeared on the road to the Valley of Yueyao.
"They used to be the old mercenaries of the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Regiment, and when the old head was still there, everything around Yao Valley was under our control, and the familiarity with the surrounding terrain had reached the point where they could walk out with their eyes closed, so you don't have to worry about the safety of their departure. As soon as he left the Monroe family's mountain, Trunks explained to Han Shuo.
Just now, Han Shuo was standing on the high ground, he had already observed the actions of these people, they had a tacit understanding with each other, and their strength was quite not weak, most of them had the strength of intermediate swordsmen and intermediate knights, and there were several high-level magicians and swordsmen in it, and there were even more extraordinary archery skills, it seemed that they were indeed as Trunks said, they were really the old mercenaries of the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Regiment in the past.
With such a group of people, coupled with Trunks' planning organization, it is presumable that the road to the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group in the future should be much smoother.
"By the way, what's going on over there, how could a bandit group find the Menlo family?" Thinking back to the situation just now, Han Shuo couldn't help but ask.
Trunks couldn't help but laugh when Han Shuo asked him such a question, and then explained: "When we went to the Monroe family, we happened to see this bandit group, and they were planning to rob a group of merchants, and we showed the way for these merchants before the battle, and they followed our guidance and hid in the Monroe family.
In the end, the Monroe family was alarmed, and the robbers fought against the Monroe family, and we took advantage of the chaos to make trouble. Originally, we thought that this group of robbers would be defeated immediately, and we had already prepared to retreat, but we knew that the elite of the Monroe family was transferred out of the mountainside tonight, and we didn't know what to do.
As soon as the robbers saw that there were no more elites of the Monroe family coming out to attack them, they arrogantly continued to attack, and we also stayed for a while, and you will see what happened next!"
"I see, are there many such bandit forces in the mountains around Yao Valley?" Han Shuo nodded and asked with a smile.
"Of course, it is precisely because Yuyao Valley is in the middle of the three countries that many big businessmen will want to do business in Yuyao Valley, so there are also a lot of bandit forces around, and there are even two bandit groups with thousands of people, which are spontaneously formed by some wanted criminals from the three nearby countries.
The leaders of these two bandit groups are a man and a woman, the man's name is Gustav, nicknamed the butcher, is a notorious wanted criminal in the Cassie Empire, this person kills people without blinking an eye, extremely murderous and cold-blooded, if the caravan is touched by his bandit group, it is really bad luck, all the normal goods are robbed of beautiful women, and the rest of the people who are in a bad mood are all killed, leaving no one alive.
Back then, Florida cooperated with Gustav and framed our old leader, so that the old leader was unfortunately killed, and even my little sister disappeared together, and I will kill this Gustav sooner or later!
There is also a woman named Janet, uh, this woman should be regarded as a female inheritance of her father's business, his father is a robber grandfather is a robber grandfather is also a robber, is a famous bandit family near the Yaogu Mountain Range. She has been trained to be a robber since birth, although this woman is not a good type, but she still has rules, and she is generally encountered by her bandit group, as long as the merchant does not resist, there will be no worries about her surname!
In addition to the two largest bandit groups in the hands of these two people, there are more than a dozen large and small bandit forces in the surrounding Yaogu Mountain Range, but the remaining scale is a little smaller, and they are not as famous and powerful as these two people. Trunks explained slowly to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo listened for a while, then carefully inquired about the strength of those bandit groups, and then nodded, and said, "It seems that the bandits and mercenaries in Yao Valley should complement each other, whether they are robbers or mercenaries, they are indispensable!"
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked.
"Without the robbers, the merchants would not need to be protected, and the mercenaries would not be able to make any money. Without the existence of mercenaries, the merchants did not dare to come over to do business, and the robbers had nothing to rob, so it was completely reasonable that the robbers and mercenaries existed in Yaogu.
With the strength of the four forces of Lauretta in Yaogu, they should have the strength to destroy these bandits, but perhaps it is precisely because they understand this truth that they will not make a move and let those bandits exist. Han Shuo smiled slightly and explained.
As soon as Han Shuo said this, Trunks smiled and said, "Yes, the old head of the regiment had already understood this truth, but I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly!"
Nodding, Han Shuo looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, it's not too early, let's hurry up and return to Yuyao Valley, I'm going to take a look at things too." ”
After leaving the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group, Han Shuo always felt a voice, as if calling to him from a distance, originally Han Shuo thought that it was the little skeleton that was in danger again, but after careful identification, he found that it was wrong.
It wasn't until Han Shuo contemplated it carefully that he realized that the sound came from the Dark Forest, which was not very far from the Dark Forest, and the Death Graveyard was in the Dark Forest.
When Han Shuo found out that this call seemed to come from the Dark Forest, he immediately understood that the earth armor corpse should have successfully broken through the ground, but due to the influence of the Death Graveyard Enchantment, he couldn't use his sensing power to come to him, so he just passively sent out the signal.
