Chapter 339 Precursor
Northern Wasteland.
In a deserted barren gravel area, an adventure squad is slowly moving forward. This squad is a standard five-man team, a warrior in armor, a wanderer, a ranger archer, a dwarf defender, and an experienced captain.
In fact, the best-in-class adventure group also requires spellcasters, wizards or warlocks, but the wizard rarely participates in such a team unless the wizard is personally forming a group to find something. Of course, this situation generally means that things will be very troublesome.
"Boss!"
"We have gone so far, should we take a break first?" The armored warrior in the team moved his shoulders and said. As a warrior, he was wearing a chain mail and a tin armor, plus some other things and weapons. It can be said that he was the one with the highest weight. Even if the warrior has good physical fitness, he still felt tired.
The middle-aged man in the lead stopped and looked around and the sky. Someone looked at the other team members and said, "Okay, let's go ahead and repair it for a while."
As a qualified adventure team captain, there are many things to pay attention to. Although he is not the strongest in the team, he is definitely the richest experience. When taking risks, everyone's physical energy needs to be taken into account. The best situation is that he has plenty of physical strength when encountering enemies at any time.
"Bain, go and check around, and immediately get the situation back. Everyone else hurry up and rest." After coming to a few big trees, Captain Karen ordered the wanderer.
"I understand!" The wanderer nodded and then jumped gently to investigate around. This adventurer team set out from Zhenbeicheng, which has now become the main destination for many adventure groups to enter the northern wasteland.
Although the northern wasteland is desolate and cold and the environment is harsh, there are still many good things produced here. Adventure teams often return with full loads, but many adventure teams have not returned.
About a quarter of an hour later, a sharp whistle sounded, and the few people who were sitting under the tree resting immediately stood up. The captain in the lead said in a deep voice: "There is a situation! Everyone comes with me!"
A small group of people rushed towards the direction where the sound came. These people were very experienced. Even if they moved forward quickly, they were half-squatting, and at the same time they used the cover of the surrounding weeds. As an adventure team, they lived a life of licking blood at the edge of the knife. Once they found out, they would send a signal immediately.
"Be careful!" A ranger next to him suddenly said as if he had discovered something.
The team that was moving forward immediately lay on the ground, completely hiding their bodies, and then looked around carefully.
"What did you find?" the captain asked in a low voice.
"Look at the sky!" The ranger pointed to the sky. The sky was clear and clear. Karen looked at it for a while but found nothing. When he was about to ask, his eyes suddenly swept to a black spot.
The black dots quickly became bigger, and a two-legged flying dragon appeared in the sky. On the back of the two-legged flying dragon, there was a green-skinned figure, which was the orc.
"It's the orc's air cavalry!" Seeing this scene, Karen's eyes contracted slightly, "Be careful not to be discovered by them." After seeing the black dots clearly, Captain Karen was shocked and quickly let the others hide.
After everyone hid in the grass, the flying dragon on both feet quickly flew over the crowd, and did not find the few people hiding here.
After seeing the flying dragons leaving, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully advanced to the direction of the rogue sending signals. Soon, a few people found the rogue figure not far ahead. At this time, he was wearing a yellow cloak, a straw hat, and a lot of straw in his body. This dress looked very professional.
After seeing everyone, he lay on the ground to call everyone to recruit them, while the others carefully touched them.
"What did you find out?" The scholar wanderer looked like a simple disguise, and then asked carefully.
“Where do you see!”
"hiss!"
"This is..."
After seeing the situation ahead again, everyone immediately took a breath of cold air. Under the mound in the distance, as the earth was undulating, an army was constantly moving. This army was a bit strange, including orcs, zombies and trolls. The huge army was slowly coming from the distance. The army was winding and twisting, a full dozen miles long, and looked like a giant dragon winding forward.
"Is this an orc army?" the dwarf next to him asked, lowering his voice.
At the front of the team are some wolf cavalry. As a mobile army among the orcs, there are still many wolf cavalry. Following behind are some tall gnolls. Unlike ordinary gnolls, these gnolls are high-level gnolls, with strong strength and bloody and brutality. In the team behind, the trolls slowly advance in armor.
"Why do I look like a coalition of several races? Such a long team, at least tens of thousands of people." A man next to him whispered.
"More than tens of thousands, at least 30,000 people. What are these gnolls, orcs and trolls forming a coalition force?" said the wanderer.
The middle-aged captain in charge rubbed his chin and continued, "There is an enemy in the wasteland worthy of their attention, so they can unite."
"Zhenbeicheng!" Everyone looked at each other and replied in unison.
"Send this information back to Zhenbei City immediately, let's leave now. As long as you successfully send it back, according to the generosity of the lord, we will make a fortune this time!" At this moment, the team immediately reached an agreement, because after the last incident of evil things, Su Lun released a large number of wilderness intelligence collection tasks, wanting to use the power of these adventurers teams to collect intelligence.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wanderer in front of him said in a calm voice: "The situation is not good. The wolf cavalry has come. Their dog noses are very sharp."
The sound of vibration on the ground was heard, and then a large number of wolf cavalry began to scatter and investigate around the team. These wolf cavalry acted quickly, the wolf had a keen sense of smell, was wearing this simple leather armor and waving a cane scimitar in his hands. His strength was pretty good, and he was a qualified scout.
"No! We are now on the route of wolf cavalry advancement, and if we don't leave, they will be discovered by them." said the wanderer.
"Retreat all, retreat now!" The captain in charge made a decision immediately without any hesitation.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A wolf roar sounded on the wasteland.
Everyone no longer hesitated and retreated immediately. The wolf cavalry on the wasteland was very fast. If they did not evacuate, there would be no chance. The wolf cavalry could easily catch up with them.
The group quickly evacuated. After retreating a little, they didn't bother to continue hiding their bodies and accelerated to escape in the direction they came. The wolf cavalry was very fast, and not long after, these wolf cavalry arrived at the position where everyone was hiding.
"Aowoo!"
A wolf sniffed nearby, then yelled at the direction where the few people escaped.
“It has a human taste!”
"Chasing, you can't let them escape!"
"Kill them all!" Several orcs immediately reacted, with a ferocious expression on their faces.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
With a loud scream, the wolf cavalry no longer hesitated and began to chase quickly in the direction of the smell. A team of wolf cavalry chased after him, while another pair of wolf cavalry surrounded the flanks.
The adventure team was running wildly. The man dressed in a ranger took out a spell scroll. Without any hesitation, he pulled it away directly, and an elemental energy was released from the spell scroll.
"Group Acceleration!"
A light green light shrouded inspiration, and the wind element surrounded everyone. The people who were running felt that their bodies were lighter and their speed instantly doubled. The group quickly ran towards Zhenbei City. These magic scrolls were sold at Hathaway's alchemy store in Zhenbei City.
There are many types of rune scrolls, potions, magic weapons, etc., and a large number of magic items are purchased. Many adventurer teams will spend a lot of Jinnar to buy some life-saving props or medicines here. It is obvious that the adventurer team in front of them has purchased one.
The duration of the group acceleration technique is one hour, which can increase a lot of speed after use. With the effect of this scroll, the group of wolf cavalry will not even want to catch up with them within this hour.
The wolf cavalry behind saw the humans suddenly accelerated and immediately let the wolf speed up to chase. However, compared to the horses, the wolf has a much worse endurance and cannot charge for a long distance. Although the wolf knights continue to chase, the figures of the humans are still getting farther and farther away.
However, at this moment, two-legged dragon knights suddenly rose behind the orc army. As the only flying combat unit of the orc tribe, the number of two-legged dragons is rare and their taming is difficult. Generally speaking, orcs will not dispatch such an army. Obviously, after seeing these humans about to escape, the orcs finally couldn't bear it.
The two air knights flew over quickly, and the sound of huge flesh wings flapping kept ringing. Although the speed of these humans was very fast after the acceleration technique was added, the distance was quickly shortened under the pursuit of the air knights.
"I'm in trouble. It's the Sky Knight. We can't escape at the current speed!" The captain looked back at the figure getting closer and closer in the sky and said anxiously.
"Escape separately, there are only two of them. The five of us run separately. One of them can escape. After escaping, we will go back to the city immediately and give the Lord a warning. If the others are dead, remember to allocate the reward to the relatives and friends of the deceased, please!"
"Understood!"
"agree!"
"That's good, I wish you good luck and run away!" After saying that, everyone immediately fled.
