Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 762 The Misty Forest
When the sky was getting bright, Jiahong and his group were already ready to leave the inn in the town, and went straight to the city wall pass two miles away, waiting to enter the barbarian territory in the north.

Under the dim light, the solid and majestic city walls and the outlines of the mountains in the distance were vaguely revealed. The illuminated wind lanterns swayed in the cold wind. After leaving the town, the sky gradually became brighter.

All the mercenary teams that enter the northern border to hunt the heads of barbarians are large and medium-sized mercenary teams with hundreds of thousands of people. Small mercenary teams with more than 50 people like Jiahong make the Hanhai officers who guard the pass look sideways. Just to die.

You must know that the barbarians are powerful in combat, live a life of ruthlessness and blood, and invade south every year, causing a lot of losses to the Hanhai Defense Army. The combat effectiveness of the mercenary team is much weaker than that of the army. Dare to go out with 50 people, and such a small mercenary team is either crazy or burned out. It is strange that such a small number of people were not wiped out by the barbarians in the past.

But Hanhai officers are too lazy to care whether they live or die. The so-called risks and opportunities coexist, whether they can come back alive depends on their luck.

The walls of the city were covered with strong and sharp soldiers of the Hanhai Defense Army. The sharp crossbow machine hit the crossbow arrow with the thickness of the forearm, and it glowed coldly under the light of the fire.

Jiahong and his party of more than 50 people brought dry food for the horses to the pass and found an open space to stop, waiting for the pass to open.

As time went by, another mercenary team left the town and arrived at the pass. Most of them were thousands of people. Each of them looked rebellious, and their fierce eyes kept scanning Jiahong and the others. But the one-armed thunder dragon stared back fiercely, making those people calm down a lot.

"I'm afraid we'll be in a lot of trouble going here. These guys who lick blood are probably after us." Lei Long leaned closer to Jiahong and whispered.

Jiahong's face turned pale after hearing Lei Long's words. He is a civil servant after all, and those mercenary teams are all big and rough. If there is a real fight, he may be the first to suffer.

"After passing the pass, let's hurry all the way, don't stop, we'll talk after entering the foggy forest." Lei Long was worried that these mercenary teams had bad intentions, after all, there would be no Hanhai people to maintain order outside the city wall, and that would be an area where the weak prey on the strong.

Those mercenary teams that entered the northern border did not do much to kill and steal goods. Anyway, they were black and black, so the danger they faced was not only the barbarians, but also these powerful mercenary teams.

"Zhou Rui, take a few brothers to protect Mr. Jia, no matter what happens, you can't leave an inch." Lei Longyou was worried, and asked Zhou Rui, who had been promoted to the Black Iron Sergeant, to protect the civil servant Jia Hong.

More than 50 soldiers were carefully selected from the Far East Commando. Although they are now dressed as mercenaries, the murderous aura exuding from their bodies is still not to be underestimated.

The sky in the distance turned fish-belly white, and the red sun seemed to be pushed out a little bit by people. The vast rays of light sprinkled on the city wall through the clouds, and the golden light made people feel the majesty of the city wall even more.

The Hanhai Empire spent a lot of effort to prevent the barbarians from going south. The city wall of more than a thousand miles alone consumed a lot of national power. However, now that the Hanhai army is strong, the barbarians have been afraid to reach this city wall area for a long time.

The pass became more noisy. Dozens of mercenary teams crowded together, most of them went to the north to hunt the heads of the barbarians, but some of them went to the misty forest to find some regular medicinal beasts.

The Hanhai officer stood on the city wall and watched that the time was almost up, and then waved to the back. A soldier of the Hanhai Defense Army ran to the drum and beat the drum.

With the sound of thump, thud, a large number of soldiers of the Hanhai Empire rushed to the city wall and began to guard against the barbarians from the north who would take the opportunity to attack when the door was opened. But now it is just a cutscene, and they have not seen a living barbarian for a long time Yes, the empire's hunting decree has caused the barbarians to retreat to the depths of the foggy forest, not daring to come out.

Everything was ready, and following the officer's order, the winch on the city wall began to creak and creak, and the heavy closed door slowly rose, revealing the desolate and desolate scene on the north side of the city wall, with bones coming into view faintly. A lifeless breath rushed towards him.

"Let's go—" Thunder Dragon held his saber, greeted and led the crowd to walk over first, and the rest of the mercenary team also followed them in a hurry, and poured into the harsh northern region.

The trees in the area of ​​more than ten miles near the city wall had been cut down by the frontier defenders, and only the weeds were swaying in the cold wind. After identifying the direction, Thunder Dragon led the team straight to the north.

Because the rest of the mercenary team performed different tasks, they each found a direction after leaving the city wall and started to move forward. After 10 minutes, the gate of the city wall was closed again, and there was only a blur in the sight of Thunder Dragon and the others. shadow.

Countless mercenary teams have entered this northern region over the years, and have explored some roads long ago. Thunder Dragon and the others are going to follow these roads, go deep into the barbarian territory, find the king of the barbarians, and discuss how to deal with the Hanhai Empire together. The road was dangerous, and Thunder Dragon and the soldiers responsible for protecting Jiahong did not dare to be careless.

According to the arrangement in the army, Leilong arranged for the leading soldiers to explore the way, and also arranged for the rear team. They were all elite fighters, so the vigilance was very strict.

After more than ten miles, Thunder Dragon and his party entered the forest. The tall treetops blocked the sunlight, and the entire forest was dimly lit. A thick layer of rotten dead branches and leaves was laid on the ground. There are piles of bones and scattered weapons on the ground from time to time, reminding them that this is the foggy forest full of dangers.

"Master Sergeant, there is a mercenary team of thousands of people behind us, I am afraid they are eyeing us." After walking in the forest for a short time, the soldiers behind the palace rushed to report.

Sergeant Major Thunder Dragon snorted coldly, these people really don't know how to live and die, they want to eat them because of their numbers, but now their target is the situation of the barbarians, there is no reason to conflict with the mercenary team, so they ordered to pretend traces, went straight into the depths of the forest.

There is a safe range of dozens of miles outside the misty forest, but the more you go in, the more dangerous it is. Who knows if you will encounter barbarians, the mercenary team has been chasing after the thunder dragon and the others, but it is dangerous The boundary of the land is also afraid to move forward.

"Damn it, these people are really desperate." Seeing Lei Long and the others entered the death line, the mercenary team cursed secretly, but they didn't dare to go any further.

"Send someone to guard, I won't believe that they won't come out." The leader of the mercenary team ordered viciously.

In addition to hunting the barbarians, hunting other weaker mercenary teams is also their long-term job. In this northern region where the weak prey on the strong, the fist is the boss.
