Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 70 Sneak Attack

In fact, when Leon and the others set up camp, the mercenary captain also had the idea of ​​directly launching an attack. 【】

It's just that he looked at the camp on the hill, but he always felt that something was wrong, and felt that if he did so, he would definitely be at great risk.

As for the danger, even Eke himself didn't understand. The opponent only had a mage and two warriors as a threat, and the other two barbarian warriors were not worth mentioning at all, so they could be taken down in one fell swoop.

But Eke believed in his intuition, which had helped him avoid the traps set by the enemy several times, so he did not act rashly.

Of course, this kind of intuition explained to Wald, so he barely found a reason to prevaricate. Really, besides himself, which subordinate could not be sacrificed?

Wald didn't understand these offensive and defensive tactics, and was immediately bluffed by Ike, but the anger and unwillingness on his face could be clearly seen by anyone.

"Let's wait another night..." Eke slowed down, after all, the other party was his benefactor: "If they don't leave, we will launch an attack!"

What else could Wald say, he glared at Eke bitterly, turned around and returned to his small tent and never came out again.

"Scouts pay attention to monitoring, come back and report to me immediately if there is any situation!"

Eck spit on the ground and ordered gloomyly: "We will do it tomorrow!"

...

The winter night always comes quickly, the sun has just set the horizon, and the night can't wait to cover the earth.

In the night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and the cold wind passed over the woods, making a whining sound.

In the middle of the night, the camp of the mercenary team in Lin was silent, only the snoring of the mercenaries sleeping soundly.

Not everyone is lucky enough to hide in warm sleeping bags and tents to enjoy the sweetness of dreams. One of the two mercenaries is on duty outside the camp, and the other is guarding the horses.

Although there are no monsters in this area of ​​the mountains, even large wild animals are extremely rare, and there are no bandits, but night watch is an indispensable rule for a mercenary team.

For fear that the bonfire would expose their existence and attract the attention and vigilance of the mission target, no bonfire was lit in the camp.

The forest was humid and freezing cold in the winter night, and the two mercenaries on duty were shivering from the cold. While secretly cursing the damn weather, they wrapped their sleeping bags tightly around their bodies.

The mercenary guarding the horses gnawed hard dry bread, smelled the smell of horse manure, and cursed both Wald and Ike in their stomachs.

Originally, at this time, he was supposed to be in a warm residence in Tormund City, lying on a thick quilt and falling asleep soundly with a seductive woman in his arms, but because of this damn mission, he was starving and freezing.

He couldn't figure out why Eke was so timid. The other party was just six people plus a woman, so he needed to be so careful?

It's really getting better and better!Why would he be a mercenary if he was so timid? Fortunately, he was still a second-level soul armor warrior, and he was actually intimidated by two first-level warriors and a mage.

The mercenary couldn't help slandering in his heart. He didn't have much affection and respect for the violent Eke when he just joined the team, but he stayed because of the relatively generous salary.

The mercenary who was thinking about something didn't notice that a black figure was approaching quietly in the bushes behind him.

Let's take a nap first... The mercenary stretched after eating the bread, and the 21 wildebeests huddled together quietly to keep warm and rest, without any special attention at all.

When he opened his mouth to yawn, a big hand suddenly came out from behind and covered his mouth!

A cold light flashed, the mercenary's throat was cut open, the gushing blood blocked his trachea, and he died before he could snort.

The bleak moonlight shines through the gap in the woods, shining on the face of the perpetrator, it is Leon!

Leon's original tactic was to stick to the hills and wait for the enemy to attack, but after a day and night of waiting, he changed his mind and decided to take the initiative.

It was not difficult for him to find the enemy's position. After completing the deployment of his own camp, he quietly lurked near the mercenary camp under the cover of night.

He bypassed the mercenary guards on the outside and locked his target on the mercenaries guarding the horses.

The target of Leon's sneak attack tonight was not one of the enemies, because he knew all about these trackers, he didn't know who the important people were, and he didn't know how strong the enemy was and what abilities he had, so he rashly It was too dangerous to carry out an assassination.

His target was the wildebeest mounts that the opponent placed outside the camp and lost their mounts. The threat of this group of enemies was at least reduced by more than half.

To deal with the guards in charge of the horses, Leon didn't have any psychological pressure at all. Those who do this kind of dirty work are absolutely impossible to be the strongest in the team.

He did it easily.

Leon took off the battle ax on his back and held it in his hand, he moved his brows in his mind, a trace of soul power injected into the tiger head tattoo on his chest, and the flame brand on his right arm instantly became scorching hot!

call!

The originally bright silver battle ax suddenly revealed a red light, twisted and expanded like a burning flame, and the heat of publicity spread everywhere!

This is the power of the elements stimulated by the soul power. After being added to the weapon, the attack power is doubled, and it also has the ability to damage elements. This ax swing is enough to easily break through thick armor.

And the target of his attack is not the knight in full armor, but the 21 wildebeest cuddling together, ignorant of the approaching danger

kill!

Howling!

The wildebeest's shrill neighing suddenly broke the tranquility of the mercenary camp. Eke was the first to rush out of the tent and shouted sharply, "What happened?"

As a senior mercenary, Eke has extremely rich combat experience. He didn't take off his leather armor when he was sleeping and resting, and kept his weapon at hand, so he could immediately enter the fighting state when he woke up.

No one answered his question, the whole camp seemed to explode, and the mercenaries shouted and jumped out of their sleeping bags.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

Without hearing the reply from the horse guard, Eke immediately knew that something had happened, and rushed over there without hesitation.

During the running process, his muscular body revealed a faint light, and it became brighter and brighter as he walked forward, until finally a layer of translucent red armor was formed outside his leather armor.

Soul armor!This is a skill that can only be possessed by beast soul warriors of level two and above. Warriors who have reached level two can release their soul power outside the body to form a solid protective barrier to greatly enhance their own defense capabilities.

Soul armor not only has a much higher defensive power than ordinary metal armor, but also has a certain resistance to magic attacks, protecting warriors from direct damage such as poisons and corrosives.

Strictly speaking, only a soul armor can be regarded as a truly powerful beast soul warrior!

While breathing, Eke rushed to the place where the wildebeests were kept, but the scene in front of him almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seven or eight wildebeests fell to the ground and screamed continuously. Although none of them died, they all lost one or two legs and were completely useless!

The tied reins were cut off, and almost all the other wildebeests ran away. Eke only saw a frightened wildebeest rushing into the bushes not far away in a panic, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

Who did this?Eke couldn't believe his eyes, his reaction was extremely fast, and he didn't even touch the shadow of the enemy.

"Asshole! Get out!"

The exasperated mercenary captain roared towards the woods.

"You have the guts to come after me and try to trick us, you're too young!"

What he didn't expect was that there was a mocking answer from the depths of the woods.

At this time, other mercenaries rushed over one after another. When they saw the scene on the ground, they heard the murderer's arrogant provocation, and they were all furious. They were about to rush in to search for the enemy with their weapons in hand.

"Don't be impulsive!" Eke stopped the impulsiveness of his subordinates. He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his anger: "The whole team, assemble, we are now going to chop them into pieces!"

The mercenaries were taken aback for a moment, and then understood.

The enemy is hiding in the woods, and it is too difficult to search at night. Maybe the enemy is just trying to irritate himself and others, and look for opportunities to defeat them one by one.

And without their mounts, they will definitely not be able to track the mission target. Once the target escapes at night, they will not be able to catch up even if they want to. This mission will be considered a complete failure.

It is not terrible to fail the mission, but it is definitely a shame to fail so embarrassingly. It is spread that the mercenaries should not hang around in Tormund city.

The only way is to attack the target's camp immediately, maybe there is still a chance to wash away the shame.

The angry mercenaries quickly assembled a whole team and immediately headed towards the hills.

At this time, the remorse in Eke's heart is really indescribable. If he had known this, he should have simply launched an attack yesterday, instead of missing the opportunity because of suspicion.

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and Eke vowed in his heart that he must smash the enemy into pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The experienced mercenaries moved very fast, and they all left the camp in a blink of an eye, leaving behind their tents, sleeping bags and even supplies.

At the same time, one person was left behind.

Wald got out of the tent sleepily. When the mercenaries left, he was still wearing his clothes. As a pampered noble young master, he would not sleep wearing a coat like the mercenaries.

When he came out of the tent, the noble young master was dumbfounded and all the mercenaries ran away!

What happened?Wald's mind went blank, not understanding what was going on.

Then, he arrived at a familiar face!
