The edge of the black forest is no longer as peaceful and natural as it used to be, and the patches of tree stumps look extremely heavy and dazzling. The black forest's recovery ability cannot withstand the logging and destruction of a large group of mercenaries. Without the protection of the native race, the black forest will be weird no matter how strange it is.
It can't stop the destruction.
Hundreds of workers and mercenaries are still working tirelessly to cut down trees. Originally, there were not many opportunities to cut down the black forest, so the high price of wood can be used to deduct taxes. Now the lord of Nanqing City has directly increased the purchase price by 30%.
Many low-level mercenaries who dared not go deep into the black forest saw the opportunity to make money. They could still make a good income by logging on the edge of the forest, which was no less than what they had earned in life-and-death battles in the past.
No matter how low-level these mercenaries are, they are still the best workers when it comes to logging, after all, where is the strength. It seems that the Lord of Nanqing City is impatient and has already started to set up the logging camp before all the native races have been eliminated.
Guarding the lumberyard are teams of heavily armed elite warriors. Even though their identification marks have been removed, it can still be seen that they are the direct troops of Nanqing City. The lord of Nanqing City has already begun to enclose the land, and his efforts are indeed not small. Even if someone in the future
Smell out the smell and take the imperial line,
However, Nan Qing City has already seized the opportunity. If it supplies a large amount of wood, it will definitely get more support from the empire. Furthermore, if the Black Forest is so easy to develop, the price of wood will not be so expensive. According to the master of Nan Qing City
His strength must also rely on the Spider Emperor's momentum to be able to go so smoothly.
When Qianye appeared, the guard soldiers just regarded him as a lone mercenary who wanted to try his luck in the black forest. They had seen many such people, so they waved their guns and signaled Qianye to bypass the logging camp, and then
Entering the Black Forest.
The Black Forest at this moment was completely different from when Qianye first traveled through it. There were traces of fierce battles everywhere inside, and many trees had fallen to the ground and were not absorbed by the forest. The entire forest was lifeless and had little vitality.
There were traces of battles everywhere in the forest, and it was hard to tell the direction. But now that he had arrived in the black forest, Qianye was no longer polite and rushed towards the direction where there was a faint sound. After a while, several people appeared in front of Qianye.
The mercenary is on his way in a hurry.
Qianye blocked the way with only his sword, expressionless, and asked: "Where is that little girl surrounded?"
An unruly mercenary looked at Qianye sideways and said with a ferocious smile: "Why should I tell you?"
Qianye did not answer. Dongyue flashed and the mercenary's head flew into the sky. Shock and fear were intertwined and solidified on his face. After killing one person, Qianye looked at the next mercenary.
The mercenary obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, so he instinctively pointed the gun at Qianye. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and put down the gun immediately, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"The little girl and the original ghosts are all in that direction. We are about to rush there." The mercenary pointed in one direction.
"How's the situation over there?"
"I heard that it is commanded by the leader of the Fury of the Wind. An encirclement has been built and is slowly eating away at the original ghosts."
Qianye asked a little strangely: "You are attacking and cutting down the forest in such a large scale. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the native races?"
"I heard that the Spider Emperor has sent some really strong people to come to this town to keep an eye on the native races. If there are strong people over there who come to rescue, they will naturally be stopped. It is said that there are also big shots coming."
Qianye suddenly realized that these people were determined to win this black forest. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to start such a big battle just for Little Zhuji. Of course, this is because the Spider Emperor does not know the true identity of Little Zhuji.
Talent. If he knew about it, he would probably come over in person right away.
After getting the necessary information, Qianye's eyes turned cold.
A sharp-eyed mercenary screamed loudly: "Run quickly, he is going to attack!"
Unfortunately, it was too late to run away at this time. Qianye moved Zhongyue's hand several times, killing all the mercenaries, and rushed towards the encirclement.
Qianye walked through the dark forest at a speed much faster than ordinary people. Not long after, a melee battlefield appeared in front of him.
In the vast area, battles broke out everywhere. Groups of mercenaries and native warriors were fighting in melee. Small battlefields were intertwined with each other, and there was no battle line at all. Behind the battlefield, there were dozens of strong and healthy warriors.
They were wielding axes and wheel saws and were cutting down ancient trees. The strength of this group of people was different from the workers in the logging camp outside. They could chop down a big tree in just a few strokes.
Due to continuous logging, a long and narrow blank area was quickly formed in the black forest, and it continued to stretch along, dividing the two sides.
Qianye was not in a hurry to take action, but after observing for a while, he could see the clues. Wherever this isolation zone extends, the movements of the native warriors will be slower, and there will be fewer mysterious changes, and the combat power will drop instantly.
The native warriors seemed to know the threat of the isolation zone, and kept rushing out of the forest, trying to kill those who cut down the trees. The mercenaries tried their best to stop them.
The mercenaries were already good at small-scale battles in small groups, and they knew the attack direction of the native races. They were both offensive and defensive for a while, and they actually fought evenly in the black forest. A man in gray armor
The middle-aged soldier stood on a high place, shouting from time to time, mobilizing soldiers to fill in the weak spots. Under his leadership, a line of defense was as stable as a mountain. No matter how the native races attacked, they could not threaten the isolation zone.
The effect of this isolation zone is quite magical. It seems to be able to cut off the blessing of the native race by the mysterious power of the black forest. It is surprising that such a simple and crude method is actually effective.
Qianye watched for a moment, then glanced at the middle-aged mercenary who was commanding him, then walked through the defense line and walked deeper into the encirclement. He restrained his aura and became inconspicuous on this chaotic battlefield. Occasionally, there would be
Two unlucky ghosts accidentally discovered Qianye and came to intercept him, but in the end they only turned into corpses.
In the Black Forest, there is no real siege. The mercenaries just set up a large net. However, under the command of the Fury of Wind Mercenary Group, this large net is not leaking and will not miss important targets.
After crossing the melee zone, the surrounding area became much quieter, and the forest became darker. Qianye could feel the mysterious power lingering in the forest. The forest in this area has not been destroyed, and the native warriors can exert more power.
.
However, there are faint sounds of fighting from several directions, and the real mercenary masters have gone deep, trying to gain more benefits.
In the black forest, Qianye's perception is also limited, and he cannot sense Zhu Ji's position. But now that he has arrived at the core of the battlefield, finding little Zhu Ji becomes very simple: kill all the mercenaries you see, and Zhu Ji will naturally
It's safe. As for the native races, it depends on their attitude towards Zhu Ji. If they have ill intentions towards little Zhu Ji, then Qianye won't mind killing her.
Qianye walked quickly through the forest and soon came to a battlefield. On one side were more than a dozen mercenaries, all wearing the color of Fury of the Wind. Among them were three human battlefields and three blood viscounts. They could be said to be extremely powerful.
.
They spread out in a half-moon shape and slowly advanced. On the opposite side of this front, there were about dozens of native warriors. They kept jumping back and forth between the ancient trees, with strange and flexible movements, trying to interfere with the judgment of the Wind Fury mercenaries.
.However, the mercenaries were experienced and unfazed at all, they just pushed forward steadily.
If the native warriors want to break away from the two wings, the mercenaries will move the battle line accordingly, and the people on the other side will continue to attack, biting the opponent. It seems that unless these native warriors pay a heavy price, it is possible to escape from the flanks.
Breakout. But they seemed unwilling to give up their companions, and as a result they were forced to retreat continuously.
If this continues, those native warriors will sooner or later be forced out of the core forest area. A little further back, they will reach the outer encirclement. At that time, they will be completely surrounded and then annihilated.
The native warriors seemed to know that if they retreated, the consequences would be bad, and would attack the mercenary defense line from time to time. However, there were too many strong ones among the mercenaries, and they instantly burst out with tyrannical combat power, knocking out the native warriors at the forefront in one fell swoop.
Kill. This was repeated several times, and apart from leaving a few corpses, the native race still failed to open up the situation.
At this time, a small figure appeared among the native warriors. She was sitting on the shoulders of a tall warrior. It was Xiao Zhuji.
Seeing Zhu Ji, the mercenaries' eyes suddenly turned red. A general and two vampire viscounts immediately left the battle line and pounced on Zhu Ji like lightning!
The power of their joint attack was astonishing. The few native warriors who were guarding the tall warrior could not even block it for a single round. They flew up into the air and turned into corpses in the air. The three strong mercenaries were attacking from different directions.
The tall warriors attacked from a flank. The two viscounts each held two swords and launched a storm-like offensive. However, the human warrior fell behind slightly, took out a force gun, and kept turning around the tall warrior without shooting.
The tall warrior roared angrily and seemed to be in a hurry for a moment. His strength was far superior to any of the three, but he had a Zhu Ji on his body, and at the same time he had to guard against the prying eyes of the human mercenaries outside.
In the blink of an eye, the human warrior found an opportunity and fired with one shot!
Xiao Zhuji screamed, this shot was actually aimed at her! At such a close distance, she couldn't dodge, blood flashed on her forehead, her head tilted back, and her little body flew out.
The tall warrior roared angrily and flew to rescue little Zhuji. The door opened wide and he was struck by several swords. When he held Zhuji in his arms, she was already covered in blood.
"Come back here! Lao Meng, you are too harsh. If you kill that little guy, the boss will definitely kill you!" A human warrior in the front roared.
The three strong mercenaries who rushed out retreated angrily, wanting to return to the battle line. However, they suddenly saw a man walking out from behind the battle line, holding a frightening spear in his hand, and said coldly: "You don't have to go back.
