Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 709 Scarlet World
While talking with several veterans, the team has set off again.

Not long after, a small village appeared ahead.

"Wait a moment!"

Just when the team was about to enter the village, the veteran Ge Lan suddenly stopped, with a trace of solemnity on his face, pointed to the front and said, "Look!"

Everyone talked about the direction of Glenn's finger, and found a small village not far away. There was a faint scream and a woman's cry.

"Orc?" Hart's expression changed.

"Probably not."

Ge Lan shook his head, and said with a serious face, "Although the battle on the front line is not very good, this is the kingdom's territory, and the situation should not be so bad."

"That is?"

Hart showed doubts on his face, and then there was a trace of anger on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Gangster!"

Due to the invasion of the orcs, the current situation in the Tucker Kingdom is chaotic, and a large number of gangs have emerged. Most of them are composed of refugees, who were forced to flow into the wilderness because they lost their homes.

The gangs transformed from refugees are often extremely fierce and cruel. In order to fight for a chance to survive, they will do everything possible.

"It's still not certain what happened."

Ge Lan shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "What should I do? Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Do we have any other options?"

There was a trace of bitterness on Hart's face, and then his eyes flashed fiercely. He pulled out the cross sword from his waist and said in a deep voice, "Lal's injuries can no longer be delayed, and they must be treated as soon as possible."

"...be careful, Hart."

On the cart, a dying wounded man spoke with difficulty.

Several veterans nodded, and then proceeded cautiously towards the village.

"Chip, scan!"

Enzo lay in the pile of dead people, while recovering his strength, he turned on the chip scanning function to detect how many people were in the village not far away.

"Enzo! Are you still alive?"

At this moment, when Ge Lan turned his head inadvertently, he noticed the movement on the cart, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Enzo no longer closed his eyes, panted heavily, and said softly, "Uncle Grant..."

Seeing this, several veterans quickly surrounded them.

It was tens of meters away from the small village. Using the detection function of the chip, Enzo found that there were at least fifteen perpetrators inside.

"Don't talk yet, drink some water."

Grant took the water bag from his waist and fed Enzo a few sips.

Enzo's condition recovered a bit, but the wound on his chest felt a tearing pain from moving, which made him frown.

"You survived such a serious injury, you are really lucky!" Beside, Hart said with a sigh.

"...Uncle Grant."

Enzo felt dizzy for a while, raised his finger to the village ahead, and said with difficulty, ": Be careful..."

"Don't worry, Enzo."

Grant nodded, and said firmly, "I will definitely help you find a doctor."

Then, the team started to move on.

Enzo opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be on fire, he couldn't make any sound, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Just arrived in the scarlet world, this body is too weak.

"If it doesn't work, we can only use the power of the source." Enzo sighed in his heart, and descended into the scarlet world in the form of soul reincarnation. Although his body was extremely weak, there was still a trace of the power of the source in the depths of his soul.

That was also Enzo's only hole card in this body in the Scarlet World, and he would never use it as a last resort.

Boom!

About ten meters away from the village, the cart stopped again, and the five veterans in the team who still kept their fighter jets drew their weapons one after another.

"Hart, you stay here."

At this time, Gu Lan said, "If the enemy is just bandits made up of refugees, the four of us can take care of it. No matter what, leave a few to take care of the wounded."

"Okay, then be careful."

Hart hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. If the enemy is just a group of refugees and gangsters, then Glenn and the others are enough to deal with them.

If I had known earlier, Gu Lan and the others were veterans who had just retired from the battlefield, not to mention experienced in hundreds of battles. Everyone could fight five against one.

Moreover, with the cooperation of several veterans, the combat effectiveness will be improved.

"It should be... all right?"

Enzo was lying on the cart, a trace of thought appeared on his face, then he ignored it, closed his eyes and continued to recover his strength.

On the other side, a few veterans led by Gu Lan also quietly explored the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Ge Lan saw not far away, an old corpse had been disembowelled, the internal organs mixed with blood, exuding an extremely bloody smell, which caused a trace of anger to appear on the faces of Ge Lan and the others. .

"These bloody bastards!"

Glenn cursed in a low voice, the refugees who lost their homes had no choice but to become bandits, but it was not the only choice. As long as they set foot on the frontline battlefield, they could join the army, kill a few orcs and even make meritorious deeds.

But this group of refugees obviously didn't have such courage. They might be extremely cowardly when facing those ferocious orcs, but after becoming gangsters, they became fierce and cruel when they slaughtered their own kind.

"Be careful."

After a few veterans quietly came to a bunker, Glenn poked his head out and saw a burst of wanton laughter and a woman's cry coming from a tavern not far away. He immediately waved his hand to the other side and said, .

"Ayrin, Max, the two of you go around behind."

"Dominic, follow me!"

After simply laying out the battle plan, Glenn was about to launch a surprise attack on the refugees and bandits in the tavern, but at this moment, Ayrin's expression suddenly changed.

"Glenn, wait!"

Aylin raised his hand, pointed at the corpse of a headless villager outside the tavern, and said in a deep voice, "Look, what is that?"

Grant followed Ayrin's gaze.

"This is……"

Ge Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes. The corpses of the villagers whose heads had been severed had very neat cuts, and the dark white bones seemed to have been cut with a single knife, crisp and clean.

Such wounds were obviously not caused by a group of refugees.

"deserter!"

Ge Lan's heart sank, and he redefined this group of gangsters. He was able to decapitate a villager's head with a single knife, and the wound was extremely neat. This meant that the opponent had rich combat experience and definitely could not be done by a group of refugees.

Therefore, there is only one identity left for them.

deserter!

On the frontline battlefield of the Kingdom of Tucker, the battle was very tense, and the orc tribe pressed every step of the way, causing several armies led by the great knights to be overwhelmed. Therefore, under the threat of death, a large number of deserters appeared in the kingdom.

Strictly speaking, Gu Lan and the others also withdrew from the battlefield to escape the chaos of war.

But before they left the battlefield, they were ordered by a centurion knight to take the wounded back to the Kingdom of Tucker, so they were not considered deserters.

The gangsters in the village in front of him were obviously different.

Ge Lan's eyes flickered, and he deduced some information in a moment. If the gangsters who killed in the village were not composed of refugees, then they could only be a group of deserters. After fleeing from the frontline battlefield, they began to become unscrupulous.

In fact, such cases are not uncommon.

Fighting on the battlefield, soldiers have been threatened with death for a long time. Under the state of mental tension, once they return to a safe zone, they will be eager to vent their emotions. Deserters without rules can easily become gangsters.

In most cases, the kingdom does not punish such behaviors too harshly, because during a war, any soldier is valuable, even if the deserters who burned, killed and looted were caught by the kingdom, they would be executed. The possibility of it is also very small, and there is a high probability that it will be thrown into the most dangerous place on the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"It's troublesome now."

Glenn's face was a little ugly. If the enemy was composed of refugees, those veterans could easily deal with them with their rich combat experience, but if the enemy was also soldiers withdrawn from the battlefield, then the outcome would not be certain.

"The number of opponents will never be small."

At this time, Aylin also frowned, with a trace of hesitation on his face. Although this small village was remote, there were at least dozens of families, and there were not more than ten deserters, so it was impossible to burn, kill and loot unscrupulously.

"What should I do? Let's withdraw?" Max hesitated next to him.

Glenn also fell into hesitation. Without knowing the number of deserters, he really didn't want to take the risk of going to war, but if the enemy was not dealt with, how would the veterans collect supplies in the village to treat the wounded.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of small footsteps.

Ge Lan suddenly turned his head, and saw not far away, a dirty little girl was looking at them timidly.

A trace of tenderness suddenly appeared on Gren's face.

He was already married in his hometown, and his daughter was of this size, so when he saw the little girl, he naturally relaxed his vigilance.

"Uncle, are you heroes of the kingdom?"

The little girl looked at several veterans and begged, "I beg you, please save my mother, okay?"

"Son, come here first."

Gren beckoned, and the little girl walked over obediently, hiding under the cover with several veterans.

"My dad was killed by bad guys."

The little girl sobbed in a low voice, "Woooooo! Those bad guys broke into the village, killed the village chief's grandfather, and took away their mother and sister. Dad went to stop him, but they also chopped off his head."

Saying that, the little girl raised her head.

"Uncle, Dad's head was cut off, can you help me find a doctor to save him?"

Seeing the little girl's expectant eyes, Ge Lan couldn't bear it.

"Son, how many bad guys broke into the village?" At this moment, Aylin knelt down and asked the little girl.

"one two Three……"

The little girl counted with her fingers. After a long time, she hesitated and said, "There are five villains in total? No! Six!"

Grant and Ayrin looked at each other.

If there are only six enemies, then they still have a chance to fight. However, the little girl in front of her is not yet ten years old and has just experienced the pain of losing her father. It is not certain whether what she said is accurate.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared not far away.

"Not good!" Grant's heart sank.

The man who came out of the tavern was wearing the leather armor of the Kingdom of Tucker. He was obviously a soldier who had been withdrawn from the battlefield. He was unbuttoning his belt to release water.

"Rudolph! Look!"

The deserter shouted and quickly called his companions. Seeing this, the four veterans behind the bunker knew that they had been exposed, and there was no point in continuing to hide, so they jumped out from behind the bunker decisively.

"brute!"

Glenn let out a low growl, picked up the standard long sword, and rushed towards the deserter, but the opponent's reaction was quick, and he fled back to the tavern in a few steps.

Subsequently, four veterans also rushed into the tavern.

What came into view was the scene of being beaten and smashed, plus the deserters who went out to release water, there were a total of six deserters in the tavern, and the leader of the deserters was a burly man with a naked middle-aged woman in his arms.

"Rudolph!"

Glenn's eyes were fixed, and he recognized the leader of the deserter on the opposite side, and his heart sank suddenly. The other party was a soldier of the Tucker Kingdom, and he was also a ten-man commander.

"Is it you?"

Seeing Glenn and the others, Rudolph also had a serious expression on his face. He pushed away the naked woman in his arms, and grabbed the long knife from the table.

At the same time, the other five deserters also drew their swords.

The two sides confronted each other, the burly Rudolph sized up Glenn and the others, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said.

"Haha! Who did I think it was?"

Rudolph put the long knife on the table and said loudly, "So it's Brother Gülen. It's really a joy to see you all come back from the front line safely!"

Grant's face was still very vigilant.

The enemy had six deserters, but there were only four on his own side, and Rudolph was still a captain. Although his combat power was not up to the level of a knight, it was quite a pressure for them.

"It seems that you don't plan to serve the kingdom anymore?"

Rudolph looked at a few people, and took the initiative to say, "This is better, for the sake of our comrades-in-arms, why don't you join us too."

"The situation in the kingdom is chaotic now, we must be able to accomplish a lot together!"

"Who is your comrade in arms?"

Before Gren could speak, Ayrin said coldly, "We were ordered by Centurion Rhodes to withdraw from the battlefield, which is different from you deserters."

Hearing Ayrin's words, Rudolph's expression darkened.

He originally thought that Gu Lan and others were deserters who evacuated from the battlefield just like himself, but now it seems that the other party was ordered by their superiors to evacuate from the battlefield reasonably.

Although both are far away from the battlefield, their essence is very different.

The identities of Gülen and the others were still kingdom soldiers, but Rudolph and the others had become a group of deserters. If they were caught by their superiors, they would be punished, and even if they survived, they would be thrown to the most dangerous place on the front line as cannon fodder.

"So, everyone is not the same way?"

Rudolph's face turned cold, and he put his hand on the long knife again, and said, "In this case, I'll get the hell out of here and tell you that this place belongs to us!"

"At any rate, he was once a regular army of the kingdom."

Gu Lan was expressionless, and said coldly, "What is the difference between what you are doing now and those gangsters?"

"Hmph! Of course there is no difference."

Rudolph didn't refute, and said coldly, "The road is open to the sky, each side should go. Since you don't want to join us, it's best not to meddle in your own business."
