The Blood Is Still Warm——Battle of the Devil's Rift Chase Chapter 17 What Happened?
"Hey, wait a minute, let me do it." Karin immediately interrupted Fageni. It was fine before, but now if you let this guy talk nonsense to the soldier's head, there will definitely be trouble. "Hello, sir.
"
"Because our team rushed here on a temporary mission, we couldn't find all the manpower at the moment. There are many people in the team who need to be freed up to do other things. I wonder if you can help us find one of your soldiers to take us forward.
?" Carlin tried to be polite.
"Really, but it is taboo to send out troops without an assistance order. Even if only one person is sent out, there may be many misunderstandings - such as being found an excuse by a demihuman tribe that is hostile to humans." The adjutant's expression did not change.
"Then, can you find someone who is not one of your soldiers and is willing to take us there?" Fageni understood the seriousness of the matter, thinking that there was no chance, so he looked at the sky.
It had just dawned and there were no clouds now, so it was unlikely to rain. "If the army does this kind of thing, it is disturbing the people. You can do it yourself." The adjutant replied when Fageni looked away.
"The demi-humans are being harassed by the monsters next to the Great Rift Valley. How can they spare the energy to cause trouble for us?" Karin muttered in a low voice.
"Before, the young man told me about the Great Rift Valley, the Great Rift Valley and monsters. Could you please tell me about this matter?" The adjutant seemed to be unaware of the Great Rift Valley and demons.
Strange...even if the army is very tight-lipped, he is at least an adjutant-level corps officer. How could he not know this?
"Is there anyone you know of? We are in a hurry and don't have time to find anyone else." Fageni emphasized again and again.
"The mercenary industry here also lacks manpower, and we cannot take the local residents to such dangerous places. If you really don't know at all, you can understand it as an attack by a foreign race, but the target of the other party is all living things.
And it’s right in front of your house. You can choose to find someone to follow us, or wait here for the monster to knock on the door.” Carlin tried to amplify the facts to convince the lieutenant.
"Sorry, I don't know such a person. But the person responsible for liaison did not pass on the message at all." The officer frowned.
"Let me tell you briefly, the land in Havena was cut open by something unknown, and a group of things called demons rushed out of the opening. The mercenary industrial company commissioned us to help, but we were the last batch that did not arrive.
That's why we are in such a hurry." Fageni became impatient again.
"What? This is impossible. Our intelligence personnel have no contact at all, the friendly demihuman tribes have not asked for help, and the mercenary industry has not reported this matter. I will go to the mercenary industry to verify. If the situation is true, I will send
Human." The adjutant was really surprised, and things became more and more weird.
"You still have to go and seek proof." Fageni whispered a curse word about Canado in a low voice. "When will it be done?"
"They have long run out of energy and are more likely to be stuck at home. Life is at stake, so make a decision quickly." Carlin urged.
At this time, a huge explosion was heard from the tent part of the barracks, and thick smoke burst into flames. The soldiers on duty inside shouted that the enemy was attacking.
Going back in time a little, Moengnan walked to those first-floor houses, trying to find a local resident who could ride a horse and carry people.
It's early in the morning, and smoke has just risen from most of these houses. In front of some houses, women are washing rice and vegetables, or men are bending over to chop firewood - in short, it's time for dinner.
A child who hadn't wiped his mouth ran out and bumped into Mo Engnan's lap. He almost sat on the ground. Then he saw one of the few parts of his body that had dragon scales. "Wow, this is not the first time I've seen it.
A demihuman with ears and a tail.”
"What demi-human, please be careful what you say, this is called Dragon Blood Awakening." Moeng Nan waved his hand and asked the question without thinking about anything: "Come on, little brother. Let me ask you a question, is there anyone here who can ride a horse and carry people?
Anyone familiar with the situation nearby?"
"Why are you looking for someone who can ride a horse?" the naughty boy asked curiously.
"It's a bit urgent and I have to go on my way. We can't use horse-drawn carriages here, and there aren't many people who can ride horses. We need to find someone to guide us around. Besides, I guess you must be very well-informed." Moeng Nan said honestly. The child didn't seem to be worried.
What kind of work should be done? If the village is scared away every day, you should know a lot of things.
"I can't tell you for free, you have to give me this number." The boy stretched out his left hand and spread his fingers.
"You kid, you are so greedy." Mo Engnan felt happy and felt for any mel on his body. After he felt it, he took out five and asked: "Can five mel be okay?"
"You are sending a beggar, I want fifty mel." The boy said dissatisfied.
"Fifty, I thought you wanted five paise. I was scared to death." Moengnan didn't have so much change, so he could only take out a paise very sadly: "Here, can you give me some change?"
?" Quite stingy.
The child who was a little over ten years old curled his lips and took the silver coin handed over: "Her name is Hyde Mobans. She is a prairie man with a bad temper. If you can afford the price, I can take you in. You wait here.
I, I'll get it for you when I go home." Unexpectedly, this kid was quite well-behaved. I thought he would just swallow it all.
"Forget it, no need to change, just take me there." Mo Nan thought for a while and felt that it was important to hurry up. "It's a blessing." He didn't forget to give the child a step down.
"Okay, since you gave me more, then I will show you the way." The boy smiled happily and put the money into his pocket. One code equaled the other, and he did not say at the beginning whether he would lead the way or not.
"Why are there two groups of troops watching here?" Mo Engnan asked while walking on the road.
"What two groups of troops? You mean the 7th Corps stationed here? Some of them are well-known soldiers, and the other part are children of nobles and businessmen who are serving in the military." The boy in this big-ass place can actually lead
We took a winding road and entered an alley. At the end of the alley was a door with a sign with a horn on it.
"Here we are, go on your own, don't tell me that I introduced you." But Moeng Nan didn't even know the child's name.
"Sure." Mo Engnan walked to the alley and knocked on the door: "Is there anyone there?"
"The door is unlocked, come in." A deep alto voice came from inside.
Moengnan pushed the door open and saw a strong woman wearing a strange gold and silver helmet in the yard. The woman was sitting under a small pergola covered with dense grapevines. In front of her was a paper with many precision items.
Tool table.
There is also a pair of brown goggles on the helmet. She is wearing a white vest and brown shorts. If you ignore the muscles of her thighs and arms, her figure should be pretty good.
"Hello, madam. I am Moengnan Servin who was introduced by someone. My team has a commission to go deep into the prairie, but they are unfamiliar with the place and need an excellent guide like you.
And there is a shameful guy who doesn’t know how to ride a horse and needs someone to take him with him. How much does it cost?”
The woman took off the strange helmet with both hands. There was a small amount of pockmarks on her face, and her short blond curly hair was stuck together due to sweat. You must know that it is already very cold. She was wearing so little but still looked very hot. "It's just right for me.
We have also run out of materials, so I can take you to the prairie... Well, I don’t know what you are going to do deep in the prairie, but you must be adventurers or mercenaries, right?"
"Yes, we are mercenaries." Although not long ago they were all adventurers.
"If there is a battle with wolves, just give me the trophies I deserve. I am a mechanic. You may not have heard of this profession, but that is not important. What is important is that I am good at fighting. By the way, also
I didn’t introduce myself, just call me Haimo.”
"There is absolutely no problem with the distribution of spoils. I feel that you are very capable of fighting at first glance, so you are welcome to join temporarily." Mo Engnan was very happy. He found a suitable candidate as soon as he took action, and he was still fighting during the battle.
Can it not be a hindrance?
"Give me some time to prepare, let's meet at the inn, right?" Hyde began to pack the things he wanted to bring.
"Yes, we will leave soon, so I will go and talk to my teammates first." Moeng Nan nodded and left.
Just when Mo Nan had just left the house but had not yet returned to the mercenary guild, an explosion came from the direction of the barracks. At the same time, Sofia, who was waiting in the guild, and Alexander, who didn't know what he was doing, also heard it.
"What happened again? Why is my luck a bit bad these days?" Moengnan ran towards the barracks.
"Hey?! What happened there?" Sofia quickly walked out of the ICBC and looked in the direction of the explosion, and happened to see Alexander. "Let's go over and take a look. Carlin, Fageni and Shiz should be over there now.
.”
"Explosion? Hmm." Alexander passed Sofia and ran towards the direction of the explosion.
At the same time, the adjutant of the Seventh Army quickly said to Carlin: "I will go to the mercenary industry after handling the matters here." Then he turned around and called two soldiers: "You two, follow me." Then the two followed.
The young man followed the adjutant and ran into the barracks.
"What should we do? Do we want to follow?" Heath hesitated.
Fageni suddenly turned his head and stared at the place where the explosion occurred, and pulled out the two knives from his back. "Go and have a look, I'm not sure what the situation is." After saying that, he followed the soldiers and ran in, and then said again
Sentence: "If you have meritorious service, you will be approved without knowing who you are."
Karin looked around, took the shield and put it at his side, and caught up with Fageni.
"Okay then." Hitz could only run away quickly.
When the three of them ran into the barracks, the adjutant looked back, but said nothing. When approaching the camp area, Kalin saw a group of demi-humans of various races riding horses - yes, he had seen them being beaten from a distance.
The Rabbit demihuman tribe was plundered and destroyed.
This group of people is a band of black thieves who travel through the prairie and make merchants fearful. They are also the mortal enemies of the Wind Cavalry, and they are all desperadoes.
But... Carlin knew very well that the Black Bandits would not use engineering bombs or dwarf muskets. They used traditional prairie weapons, scimitars and bows, but now the Black Bandits had all replaced their bows and arrows, and were equipped with short barrels in one hand.
The other hand kept throwing torches or small engineering bombs. The few soldiers left behind were completely unable to withstand their attack.
"I'll go meet them first." Fageni looked at this scene and rushed out. The rusty knife in his right hand drew a circle, and a circular air wave composed of wind pressure rushed out with Fageni as the center and dispersed.
He blocked the formation of the black thieves on the front and even injured several enemies.
Seeing Fageni rushing over, Carlin took aim at the black thieves on the side of Fageni and kept firing in support.
These black thieves on horseback set fires and wreaked havoc without fear of death. Those who were dismounted were fighting with the soldiers. Carlin and Fageni immediately joined the battle group, and the sound of gunshots and the light of swords continued to harvest the lives of these thieves.
The two of them stabilized the situation.
This was because Hitz had a vague feeling that something was wrong. After releasing the detection magic and protective skin, the elves came forward and found that they had two different schools of aura attached to them. The first one was the magic aura of the control school. Now it seems that it should be able to
Let them become murderous. But I don’t know how to influence the actions of a group of people in the first place. There are other possibilities, such as language seduce or controlling a leader alone. The second one is the magical aura of the school of change, which probably strengthens this group of people.
Offensive ability.
"These people seem to have been released from two kinds of spells, one is similar to madness, and the other is a subconscious influence spell." Hitz shouted, and then began to chant spells in Elvish.
The three of them worked together with the soldiers to fight the black thieves. Although there were only about thirty soldiers, there were nearly a hundred black thieves. Carlin thought that these might be all the black thieves' manpower, so they did not save ammunition and could rebuild after the fight.
.
On the other side, Moeng Nan had just joined Sophia and Alexander. Before he could say anything, a black crow flew in front of the three of them and transformed into a man in black robes.
"Enemy or friend." Moeng Nan spread his legs and got into a posture.
The crow looked very familiar to Alexander. She remembered the familiar of the previous spellcaster. When she saw it turned into a human form, she immediately took out her bow and drew arrows.
The three of them couldn't see his face, and it was pitch black under the hood. "It's been a long time, I didn't expect you to catch up here." But it was indeed the voice of the spell caster in the rain forest.
"Huh?!" Sophia took out the staff a little late, with a wary look on her face.
"Ah, it's you after all." Alexander glared at him. "You actually knew we were here. Forget it, you don't seem to be here to fight today? What do you want to say?"
"I just want to tell you that the little priest's plan in Bakato has already begun. And your good friend Brandon is also in deep siege in Nevis. Do you choose to help your friends or solve the crisis? It's really
It makes people look forward to it. If you have the ability, come and ruin my plan again, I'm looking forward to it." After saying that, the black robe disappeared, and a few black feathers fell to the ground, presumably teleported away.
"Under siege?" Before Alexander could ask him why he said this, he disappeared and felt very annoyed. "This man is really crazy! Ignore him, let's go see what happened with the explosion first."
"What, who is this guy? He comes and goes again." Moeng Nan asked.
"Why is Brandon in the Kingdom of Nevis?" Sofia looked at the back of Alexander's head and saw that she was just rushing, so she could only step up her pace.
"It's important to meet up first. Oh, by the way. I have already found the guide. According to her, she is very good at fighting. I think so too." Moeng Nan can't run as fast as Sophia. Is this guy really a fighter?
After the six people gathered together, plus the returning soldiers, they finally wiped out the bandits at the cost of twenty-five lives.
"Where did these guys come from? This is a border town." Moengnan wanted to see if he could get some money from these gangsters.
Fageni held the rusty knife and gasped. "These people are all desperate for their lives. It's really troublesome." He wiped the blood spattered by the black thieves on his leather armor.
"How come the military barracks were invaded so easily?" Sofia was confused.
Carlin looked through the remaining muskets and other items on the ground, trying to find possible marks or obvious production techniques. He added some gunpowder by the way, but unfortunately there were not many suitable bullets for these black thieves.
Although Hitz did not need to fight in close combat, he also consumed a lot of magic power and was not as energetic. "It's the first time to participate in such a large-scale battle. It's really terrible..."
In the completely destroyed barracks area, the injured adjutant walked up to the six people after exchanging a few words with the regiment leader and said: "Thank you for your contribution. I will confirm with you now and conduct a hazard assessment.
From now on, the superiors will use the accounts of the Mercenary Industrial Bank to issue rewards to you."
Following the adjutant, one of the soldiers guarding the door said at first: "If it weren't for you, these damn subhumans would have run away long ago." The second one was nowhere to be seen, and he was afraid that he might have lost his life.
"Well, that's right. Unfortunately, many people died." Alexander felt a little regretful.
"They are all soldiers. They died on the battlefield and gave their lives for the country." The adjutant said solemnly.
"It's easy to say... Ouch, how could you be attacked so easily?" Fageni straightened up with difficulty. He made the greatest contribution in this battle. He cut down more than twenty black thieves by himself.
"Have you seen these thieves before?" Karin was a demi-human after all, although there were no rabbits among the demi-humans who attacked before.
The adjutant shook his head and said: "How can these guys who usually only rob weak tribes and caravans have the courage to fight against the garrison?"
"Forget it, forget it. Can you exchange the medal for the guide and give it to us?" Fageni asked without hope. The adjutant had also contributed in the previous battle, and he now looked at this man with admiration.
"I'm afraid this won't work. It doesn't follow the procedures. But the reward you deserve will certainly not be less."
"I found the guide." Mo Engnan, who was sneaking around the body, heard this and stood up, pretending to be nonchalant.
"You found it? That's great." Fageni sighed happily.
"We've reached an agreement, let's gather at the inn." Moeng Nan took action this time.
"But are these thieves so rich?" Sophia pointed to the weapons in their hands that were obviously of good quality.
The fighting in the previous battle was so loud that I probably didn't even hear what Hitz said. Now she added more words: "That's it, I found traces of spells cast on those demi-humans. And there are two types.
, which are spells that make people become bloodthirsty and violent, and subconscious control spells. Therefore, this is a premeditated and malicious attack planned by the caster, and it is not a so-called black robbery."
"There is nothing worth grabbing here, and these thieves used dwarf weapons. Are they hired to cause trouble?" Carlin said while looking at the adjutant, looking thoughtful.
Carlin has currently taken away fifty rounds of enchanted bullets mixed with a small amount of mithril. This is the reserve ammunition stored by the leader of the Black Panther clan who was shot in the head by the Bunnyman. Presumably the defenders here will not let him take it.
Just order some loot, and it consumes a lot of money.
"Then why do they come here?" Fageni looked at the adjutant.
The adjutant did not look surprised. "Useless speculation is meaningless. I'm afraid it's just an interference."
Hitz frowned, but he obviously felt that this man was hiding something intentionally and observed his expression. But in fact, the adjutant said this out of strategic thinking and did not mean to hide anything.
He learned through thinking that this was a disruption operation.
