The last headhunter

Chapter 20 The Attacked Outpost

Chapter 20 The Attacked Outpost
war.Dreadful war.

Bones melted by magic, wreckage split in half by a battle axe, the smell of putrefaction and blood filled the air.The battlefield like purgatory was steaming with heat waves amidst the howling and howling all over the sky.

The endless wars that have been spreading since ancient times seem to be the inevitable fate of the Luoan continent.No matter how the dynasties change, how many "Luoan" kings appear, the fighting and fighting among human beings will never end.

But no one would ever think that one day, it will not be just another group of human beings with evil intentions that will oppose human beings, but countless deformed and terrifying bloodthirsty monsters and undead people.They feed on human flesh and blood, devouring settlements and villages that cannot resist.Those places conquered by the army of the dead are invariably polluted and become breeding grounds for new viruses and corpses.

If this continues, the demise of the human kingdom is only a matter of time. In order to save themselves, the human forces who intend to split reach a short-term compromise with the kingship, and are determined to jointly resist the undead and drive them out completely.

Kurst is one of those split human forces.In addition, there are countless elite organizations, wandering around the world with different purposes.It's just that for the current Wuming, he is not qualified enough to talk to them.

chaotic world.Cities, federations, consuls, adventurers, organizations, and even the fascinating capital.The world outside the small village of Lorraine is complicated and confusing.

And this long struggle, I don't know when it will come to an end.

Slowly recovering from the fugue.The boy, Mar and the others had just dismissed the rather annoyed interviewers, leaving the six selected to wait for instructions.Over the past few days, the young man has learned too many secrets about the world through conversations. Those truths that cannot be known in a corner are now flooding in front of his eyes like mountains and seas.

According to Michelle, this is a war.The Third Patriotic War may be imminent.All the forces that are stirring up the world are ready to move.

But before that, at least get rid of the messy thing at hand—the freight vehicle hijacked by the undead must be successfully transported back to Ao'an Town.Otherwise the contract fails and all participants are exiled.What future is there if you die?

Thinking of this, the boy gathered everyone in front of the wine table.Ten pairs of eyes, filled with different emotions, were staring at him in unison.

This can't help but make people feel nervous.very nervous.

I have never been a leader, and I don't think I have that talent.The six-person team under the group based on their own judgment did not have the empty ability to absorb a little knowledge and skills from Ruier, and they were forced to maintain a calm and weak heart in the face of the threat of death.All these chances and coincidences gathered today, and I don't know what kind of causal chain it will bring.

Teenagers are terrified.Fear of the future where he can't see the way ahead, and doubt his ability all the time-how can he be able to comprehend and master the extinct headhunter in a short period of time?
Everything comes from intuition, but it can only stop at intuition.Whether it is scientific or reasonable, we can only wait for the results to prove the conclusion.

"I plan to leave the city tomorrow."

After thinking for a long time, the boy spit out such a sentence, which was obviously a little bit out of breath.

"It is very likely that you will question me and feel that only six people are not enough to complete such a difficult task. But I also have my own reasons for judging. One is that the team is too dense to be alerted by the undead, and it is marked in the Magic Falcon in advance. Set up an ambush at the location. You know, the death knight may still be lingering in the city."

"Secondly, I want to reduce casualties as much as possible. The more people in the team, the more difficult it is to control. It is difficult to ensure that everyone can keep up with the team when marching or retreating. I definitely don't need to emphasize the fate of being alone. I hope that all mercenaries can survive to receive the reward, it's as simple as that."

"Do you really think we can come back alive?"

A "exile" said so coldly.Under the hood, he only showed half of his pale chin.The bushy beard is knotted in circles and has not been cleaned for an unknown number of days.

"Actually, it's just an excuse for 'death'. This invasion is inherently ominous, not to mention the involvement of death knights. Mr. Headhunter, in fact, I have never had any expectations for the team you formed."

"You're going to kill us all."

Dead silence.Perhaps the "exile" spoke for everyone else.The juvenile's reason is indeed not sufficient.He was right, there was not much possibility of surviving this battle, and he and Michelle were just two burdens.

"Then why did you agree to join the team? You obviously have no expectations for this task?"

"It's just because I don't have any bad thoughts about headhunting. The former Riel saved all of us. So, I decided to trust you just once."

He drew out the poisonous dagger and placed it gently on the creaking old wooden table.

"The exiles already have a cheap life, so why should they be afraid?"

I was speechless for a moment.These desperadoes who have no fixed place have already lost their dreams and pursuits in the turmoil. They are looking for a little stability and peace in the ups and downs. After struggling for so long, it may not be worth it to entrust their lives so easily. entrusted to the person.

Will it disappoint him?Will you let him down?Or will everyone survive?As the captain of this team, what role should he play?What does a headhunter need to do?
What to do to survive?

"He's not the only one who thinks it's hard for you to clean up this mess, boy. Damn it, I didn't even know your name before you died."

Mi Meng sighed lightly, and straightened the red badge on her chest.The tiger and eagle flag of the kingdom is reflected on it.

"With all due respect. No team has ever survived a top-level mission advertised as an SSS-level entrustment with only seven combatants. Of course, some people lost their lives. About 7 years ago, there was a The death squads from the Orco Federation desperately snatched back 20 Warrick’s grains from Kuran Town, which was captured by the undead. That was a huge supply warehouse enough to feed an army of 500 people for a week. Of course they were very brave. only."

"It was a painful death. They were eaten by ghouls and only their heads remained. Among them were 67 female junior magicians who had just grown up, and they all died there for a little food. It is said that they were later used by necromancers." The only remaining head was revived as a glutton. It is truly tragic. Even if they complete the commission, they don’t have the life to enjoy it.”

"I didn't like you from the beginning to the end, boy. You are still young. You shouldn't have come to Ao'an Town, let alone be fooled by Mal. He's just a charlatan. I don't know what kind of purpose I have for you. It’s hard to say. It’s just that since you sneaked in, and you still want to be a headhunter, maybe no one can save you.”

Mal's expression suddenly became very ugly.But that's not the fear of some conspiracy being unmasked, it's the twist of a dilemma.He remained silent without saying a word, his burly body unexpectedly folded down slightly.

"It was right. Maer's glorious deeds are not just about running away and stealing money from the dead. What is recorded in the records, or not recorded, is an account that has not been settled. If your fate is connected in The moment you are together, your future is already doomed."

Rick glanced around at everyone, but he also reacted like Mimeng.He knew that it was impossible to complete this commission with these people.Even in the whole of Ao'an Town, it is impossible for anyone to complete this commission.Therefore, choosing to refuse at the very beginning may be the best choice.

In fact, this commission can indeed be refused, and Rick conceals the fact, calling it a mandatory task.He wanted to test the young man's reality through this trial.Even though there were many surprises in the process, the result was expected.

Under the pressure, the teenager failed to hold his breath.With the strength of seven people including Maer alone, he had to complete an impossible task - scouting the terrain, finding out the leader, and retrieving food as much as possible.Even though the strength of the five exiles is not trivial, and they have all achieved impressive results in the guild trials, but if they want to fight against the mysterious leader of the undead clan like a cart, they will never retreat completely.

They don't even have the possibility of delaying time.From the very beginning, it was impossible for the boy to try to complete the mission without sacrificing his companions.If it was Rick, he would definitely coax and deceive a large number of junior adventurers in the zone as cannon fodder, and then wait for the opportunity.

That's the smart thing to do.

"You are indeed amazing and have a bright future. But you should not choose to be a headhunter, because no one will believe the legend of Riel anymore. You will pay for your youth. Maybe. This will be our last conversation."

Of course the boy knew that Mi Meng and Rick didn't believe in him from the beginning to the end.Their deep-rooted prejudice against headhunters has long been doomed - Samuel, Michelle, Kursk, and even the presence of the death knight cannot make them feel that he has the power to change the world, and he has the ability to reshuffle the world!

Definitely, definitely not what they say it is!

The boy's mind was churning.He thought of all kinds of rhetoric to support his point of view.He also wanted to convince the six mercenaries to trust him completely instead of just succumbing to the status of "headhunter".He was thinking of a lot of touching speeches, and then he was about to speak.

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

The door of the tavern opened suddenly.Accompanied by the hasty shouts, the afterglow that was gradually shrouded in the night was shining on the silver armor.

"What's wrong? Guards?"

Rick and Mimeng's expressions suddenly became serious.They asked almost in unison, and hurried to the guards.

"Say it! What happened!"

The guard gasped.

"Wilton Outpost. Commander he—"

"Commander Atar. What happened to him?"

"Ata was pierced through the heart by the death knight's sword, and died on the spot. He didn't even have time to cast protective magic because no one would have guessed that he was a death knight!"

"The Death Knight is back! Your Royal Highness! He is leading an army of undead and is approaching other outposts from the west side of the occupied area! Their goal is to capture Ao'an!"

"Varied----"

The sound of panic lingering in mid-air.

When everyone thought that the undead still needed time to prepare for another round of attack, they launched a surprise attack with unimaginable efficiency.Should have thought of it earlier!It should have been thought of when the death knight appeared!

But it wasn't even time to sound the alarm!I haven't even had time to contact the capital!Because although everyone was afraid, they did not treat this matter as an emergency situation!

Everyone's attention is on the robbed food and SSS-level commissions, everyone is looking forward to the performance of the headhunter and the sudden appearance of the mysterious leader, so how can they pay special attention to this damn iron canned undead!

Two hundred and three years after the Second Great Patriotic War-"natural disasters" came again.

Call it the provocation of the undead.

"Go to support immediately!"

No one cared about the boy, Michelle and Mal anymore.Except for Deman, Rick, and Mimeng, the other "exiles" all dispersed.

Except for the poisonous dagger that was still spread out on the table, the Heroes Tavern was instantly empty.
