Chapter 68: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
"Phew, fortunately, they are all low-level mercenary groups. And there were no powerful mercenaries chasing us.
This time I was lucky enough to escape! ”
A white-clothed disciple beside Qin Wuli who was fleeing for his life alongside him immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he couldn't see the enemy behind him.
Then he spoke to his companion on the other side of the story.
"Hey, those mercenaries are as powerful as you say. Just now they were just fighting as a team and occupying a geographical advantage.
If they really want to chase us, then their formation will definitely not be able to maintain.
When the time comes, the two sides will be in chaos and will fight in the field, and it will be difficult to say whose life will not be saved! ”
Hearing this, Qin Wuli immediately heard that this person seemed to understand the mercenary's meaning very well. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he deliberately spoke.
Although he deliberately accosted him, he was not wrong in what he said.
As two countries where there is often friction, most people know that if you talk about the combat ability of a single entity, the combat effectiveness of the disciples of the Naxin Sect is stronger.
And when it comes to team fighting. It is that the mercenaries of the Holy See are more efficient and have a tacit understanding of team assistance.
"This ...... Senior brother, what you said is indeed true under normal circumstances!
But you may not have been to the Papal States and don't know the difference between their mercenaries. ”
Hearing this, the white-clothed disciple looked at Qin Wuli's young face, and then opened his mouth to explain the reason why he said that before,
"The mercenaries of the Holy See Kingdom are divided into four ranks, which are Black Iron, Bronze, Mithril, and Adamantite Gold!
Needless to say, it was an extremely rare real artifact mercenary.
If you really deign to deal with us, then you can only accept your fate!
Among them, the black iron and bronze mercenaries are mainly based on team combat mode.
They were set up like armies, with defensive shieldmen, offensive swordsmen, ranged archers, and experienced priests and nuns.
And the combat power of a Mithril-level mercenary is equivalent to a master of the cultivation period who completely fuses the sin.
The main thing is that they fight in a squad mode with a tacit understanding, often fighting more and less.
Senior brother, do you think you can block a team of masters in the cultivation period for a few breaths? ”
"Well, if they attack together, I probably won't be able to stop a single blow.
It's me who is crazy, thank you, brother, for telling me this! ”
After listening to the white-clothed disciple's words, Qin Wuli replied with a smile.
Afterwards, he chatted a few more words with the white-clothed disciple who had taken over the escort mission to the Holy See, and Qin Wuli gradually slowed down and distanced himself from the other party.
When no one was paying attention around, he turned his head and whispered to Shan Qiao: "Get ready for battle, there will definitely be Mithril-level mercenaries in front of you!"
If the team's formation is broken up, we will flee to a place where there is a hidden body, such as a wood. ”
"Huh? Senior Brother Qin, aren't we going to break through in the direction of the Naxin Capital? ”
Shan Qiao asked with some confusion when he heard this.
"Heh, Senior Brother Qiao is still quite involved in the play!
Why are we in such a hurry to break through and arraignment? Anyway, it doesn't matter to us whether the capital of Naxin has fallen or not!
The most important thing at the moment is to ensure my own safety, and then, I'm going to hunt Mithril-level mercenaries to improve my strength. ”
Hearing Shan Qiao's words, Qin Wuli chuckled and said his thoughts.
"Under the enemy's layers of interception, hunting is equivalent to the peak master of the cultivation period!
Senior Brother Qin, you always have unexpected ideas!
However, this behavior shows your majesty even more! ”
After hearing this, Shan Qiao's face first showed admiration, and he opened his mouth to pat a sycophant. Then he continued with a straight face,
"Seriously, from the point of view of protecting you, I strongly disagree with this extremely risky hunting plan.
As you heard just now, Mithril-level mercenaries are all squads, and they won't fight one-on-one alone! ”
"It was because I knew that they were fighting in elite squads that I had this idea.
Believe me, there are definitely not as many Mithril-level mercenaries as we are.
By the time our team scattered, most of the Mithril mercenaries would go after those who had broken through to the capital of Nashin, and a small fraction of those who had escaped were pursued.
The two of us mingled among the rout, and when the pursuers let their guard down, they suddenly counterattacked. ”
"Lure the enemy deep and show the enemy weakness, and finally kill. Senior Brother Qin's trick is wonderful! ”
Hearing Shan Qiao's sycophantic compliments, Qin Wuli waved his hand and said, "Don't say it so nicely, it's just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!" ”
More than an hour had passed since the first ambush and interception, and it was already past lunchtime.
However, the communication force of more than 200 people had no intention of stopping to eat, drink, and rest, and they all endured hunger and wanted to rush to the capital as soon as possible.
In this way, it only took them half a day to get close to a village called Xiqiu Village.
Xiqiu Village was located in the middle of the Rejection West Pass and the Naxin Capital City, and Qin Wuli had passed by it when he went to the Rejection West Pass before.
Arriving here means that the communication force has already rushed half the way.
The village was originally built for the convenience of travelers to Juxiguan. The villagers provide accommodation for the travelers and earn money for food.
Therefore, Xiqiu Village is built around the left and right sides of the official road, and to pass through here, you must pass through the middle of Xiqiu Village.
There is a small meandering river on the left side of the village and a large dense forest on the right.
If you want to go around, you have to go around the dense forest on the right, which will take at least two or three days more.
The white-clothed disciple at the head of the communication force naturally didn't want to make a detour, so he ordered everyone to reduce their speed and stay vigilant, and then headed towards Xiqiu Village.
Click!
The sound of horses' hooves of a large number of fire-stomping beasts resounded in Xiqiu Village, breaking its original quiet atmosphere.
As soon as they entered Xiqiu Village, everyone in the communication force sensed that something was wrong.
You must know that on weekdays, there are many Xiqiu Village villagers on both sides of the official road setting up stalls and shouting, which is very lively.
Wow, wow, wow!
When the communication force reached the middle of Xiqiu Village, a large number of chaotic footsteps sounded from both sides.
Then, a figure rushed towards them in a variety of strange running stances.
"Living corpses!"
The outermost disciple of the Naxin Sect of the Communication Force immediately exclaimed in surprise after seeing the figure clearly.
I saw that these figures were covered in blood, and they were covered with wounds that were beginning to rot, and some of them were missing arms and legs.
Most of these living corpses were dressed in ragged civilian clothes, and a few were wearing the various colored robes of the disciples of the Naxin Sect.
"Everybody, get out!"
Seeing that there was really an ambush in Xiqiu Village, the white-clothed disciple in the lead immediately ordered him to leave Xiqiu Village, where the situation was unknown.
But since it is an ambush, it is impossible to let the prey that enters the net easily slip away!
Bang, bang, bang!
Dozens of figures jumped from the roofs of houses on the left and right sides of the entrance of Xiqiu Village, smashing holes of different depths on the official road.
I saw that these figures condensed various types of sin weapons in an instant, exuding the astonishing momentum of the masters of the cultivation period one by one, directly cutting off the back road of the transmission force!
