Chapter 201: Throwing away the armor
The sound of falling water came and went in the forest, and the buzzing sound followed, but when the black pressure of the poisonous bees approached the water, their natural instinct did not let them follow the humans into it, but hovered on the surface of the lake like a dark cloud that never dispersed for a long time.
Most of the mercenaries have a good water nature, which is related to their profession, but at this point it is not that all mercenaries are the same, there are always a few people who are generally water-based, and they can't survive when they hold it for less than three minutes, and they immediately burst out of the water and breathe violently.
But his action immediately caused the restlessness of the poisonous bees waiting here, and in just one breath, the mercenary was enveloped by the poisonous bees, and then turned into a bullet of blood, and the surface of the lake was dyed bright red.
Some of the mercenaries were clever enough to keep their mouths open for ventilation, and when they took a deep breath, they immediately returned to the surface without attracting an attack from the poisonous bees.
With the first example, the other mercenaries who had long been unable to hold their breath followed suit, so they saw carp-like mouths appear on the surface of the lake, and the breathing appearance in unison looked a little funny.
But this time, the poisonous bees will not ignore it as before, only to see one by one black dots flying towards the open mouths one after another, and burrowing into the abdomen of the mercenaries along the respiratory tract, so they saw a large number of mercenaries jumping up from the water like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and what awaits them is the crazy attack of the poisonous bees.
It wasn't until there was no movement on the surface of the lake full of corpses, and the smell of blood enveloped the entire lake, that the poisonous bees that permeated the top of the lake slowly disappeared.
After a long while, several ripples rippled on the surface of the water, and one by one, the mercenaries who had long been holding back and reddened poked their heads out of the lake, and they carefully observed their surroundings, fearing that the poisonous bees would go and return.
It wasn't until the mercenaries confirmed that there was no danger around them, and then they walked to the shore one after another, and because they had been soaked for too long, and their heads began to dizzy because of the breathlessness, everyone who came ashore immediately fell to the ground and gasped violently.
Captain Situ was also among the many mercenaries, and like everyone else, his chest rose and fell violently, his eyes became blood-red, and his face was also soaked white.
At this moment, the head of Situ, who was staring at the clear blue sky, regretted that he had made a lot of work with the eldest prince, and even regretted that he had come to the Elven Forest for the gold coins.
It was the most dangerous experience of his life, and after being able to breathe fresh air alive, he had already decided in his heart to leave the forest, and no matter what the Empire would retaliate against, he would not change his mind.
Gradually, the mercenaries who fell to the ground got up one by one, and the head of the Situ regiment counted the number in his hands at the first time, but what he never expected, the original team of hundreds of people only left more than thirty people at the moment.
When he got this number, Captain Situ's heart was sad, since he entered the mercenary world at the age of sixteen, he finally gained his own reputation in this industry through continuous hard work, and then established the Zhashui Mercenary Group, but he didn't expect that in just one hour, his hard work was burned.
The situation of the other mercenary groups is no different from Situ's side, and their losses are much more miserable than those of the Zhashui mercenary group, some even have their own leaders dead, and some are left alone.
At this moment, the hearts of all the mercenaries are heavy, they no longer have the so-called wealth in their minds, let alone the idea of breaking the elves, and their only purpose at this moment is the same as that of Captain Situ, they want to leave this forest as soon as possible and return to the safe human world.
In this heavy atmosphere, the mercenaries did not have the previous barriers, they gathered together to plan the next plan, after all, the head of Situ has a certain prestige in the mercenary world, although this incident makes the mercenaries not trust him much, but they still need a leader in key matters, and Situ is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
The people gathered together looked at Situ one after another, waiting for the other party to give an order, and Situ looked at the eyes of everyone around him even more uncomfortable.
"Let's go home."
Although it was a short sentence, the eyes of the surrounding mercenaries lit up because of this sentence, as for the abuse, slander, and arrogance, it had disappeared from every mercenary at this moment, just nodded, and then followed the figure of the head of Situ towards the original station, after all, before leaving the Elven Forest, they really needed some equipment, and if they returned with their bare hands, it was unknown whether they could really get out of the Elven Forest.
Maybe it was the fate of the head of Situ, or maybe it was the anger of Mother Earth, when those mercenaries with a sad face just returned to the station, one by one thunder, one by one burning flame bombs fell like raindrops, in that desperate gaze, where did the mercenaries still have the strength to resist, and finally turned into a pair of ashes and completely became the nourishment of the Elven Forest.
As for the head of Situ, he picked up a life, like a mad dog that fled in the desert and jumped in the forest.
At this moment, he didn't know where the road in front of him led, and he didn't know if there were any pursuers behind him, but the desire for life made him burst out with all his strength, and his body was like a headless fly and disappeared into the deep dense forest.
When he heard this shocking message, there was no pity in his eyes, but an unprecedented anger made him directly smash the teacup in his hand, and even more insulting Situ was a fool.
The guards outside the tent heard the movement inside, and immediately fell silent and did not dare to make a sound, even the soldier who had just run out of the tent looked scared.
The soldier who delivered the news glanced back at the eldest prince who was still in a rage, sighed slightly and then wanted to leave, but it happened that the Marquis of Byron hurriedly walked to this side, and the look in his eyes seemed to know the news of the destruction of the Tshuishui mercenary group.
As soon as he reached the door, Byron saw the soldier who had just walked out and asked.
"Your Highness knows everything?"
The soldier who delivered the message hurriedly replied, "I just reported it, but the Marquis still don't go in at this time, Your Highness is angry." ”
Byron gave a grateful look at this, and walked in despite the soldiers' dissuasion.
As soon as he entered, Byron saw the contents of the tent fall to the ground, the heating stove was overturned, and the foul smell of smoke permeated the tent, but the angry prince did not hear it.
Byron carefully picked up what had fallen on the ground, straightened the stove, and when the smell of smoke that had permeated the tent had dissipated, he looked at the eldest prince.
At this moment, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and the eldest prince also sat back in his chair, but his eyes were still full of annoyance, and he was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
Byron whispered, "Your Highness." ”
The silent eldest prince was stunned for a moment as if he had been awakened, and then asked.
"You know everything?"
Byron nodded, "I know it all." ”
"Now that you know it, do you have any countermeasures?"
