Lord of War

Vol 2 Chapter 169: .Lucky?

  The evacuation speed of Sean and others was very fast.

  Originally, the Cecilia Guards were already on standby at the back of the high ground.

  After they solved Burair’s forces last night, they immediately moved over here, and then they camped here to rest until morning. As the most powerful force in the war, the Cecilia Guards’ consumption was of course not small. Although only one person was killed, many people were actually injured. Divine grace and divine power have also improved, and the goddess of ice and snow and winter are not known for healing magic, and Dini is still a combat priest, naturally there is no way to heal so many people.

   Therefore, the method used is still mainly physical therapy, supplemented by magical therapy.

Fortunately, the Cecilia’s guards were all mercenaries and were very familiar with this kind of treatment. Therefore, many injuries were stopped at once. Not only could the bleeding be stopped immediately, but also the deterioration of the injuries was prevented. Let Dini save a lot of effort. After that, the remaining problems are temporary weakness caused by blood loss, and nutritional problems that cannot be quickly supplemented due to environmental factors.

  But after a night of rest, these guys are still good. As for the bearmen and the northern barbarians who did not participate in the battle, their condition is even worse. In fact, if Sean really intends to launch a surprise attack, in addition to the Cecilia Guards as the main force, all the Northland Barbarians will go into battle, but even this number is only about 300 people. .

  So at this moment, when Sean decided not to launch a surprise attack but to let the whole army retreat, the rested troops immediately began to evacuate here.

  Only ten seconds before and after, the whole army has already set off.

  At this time, it happened that the wolf and others discovered that Sean’s team was evacuating, so they decided on the time to attack. It’s just that when the wolf arranged to lead seven hundred people to attack, Xiao En and others had already evacuated two or three hundred meters away. Because they were afraid that they would lose track of Xiao En and others, the whole army began to march in a hurry again. Inevitably, the physical consumption of the entire army has been increased again.

  When the wolf led the crowd rushed to this terrain, she was shocked to realize that it was not a flat terrain, but a high ground with cliffs!

  For a time, the three strong men looked at each other.

  Wolf only hesitated for half a second, his whole body burst into momentum, and the hem of his cloak was constantly swinging by the wind. But the next moment, I saw the wolf stomped on his right foot, and the whole person jumped to a height of tens of meters. Then the left foot was stomped in the void, and the figure was raised again by tens of meters. After repeating this two or three times, The wolf had already jumped to the top of the high ground on this cliff and looked forward coldly.

   At a distance of two or three hundred meters from the high ground, a small force is quickly evacuating to the northwest.

  In the next second, the wolf quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, and suddenly discovered that the terrain here is indeed not good, because it is very concealed. If it weren't for them, the golden powerhouses, who are already very sensitive to breath, and the realization is completely on guard, I am afraid it would be really hard to find anyone hiding here. At this moment, if the wolf wants to continue to order the pursuit, then the troops must go to the right to bypass this cliff, but by then the straight-line distance from Sean's troops will be more than 500 meters.

   But the terrain of the wild land is never flat, but there will be many complex terrains, and it is often impossible to move in a straight line.

  In other words, it is impossible to catch up with Sean's army quickly in a short time. And if the opponent finds the wolf and the others chasing, then I am afraid that if Sean and the others want to escape, the chase will take longer, maybe it will take a day or two. But now, the wolf knows that the Winter Wolf has been killed, and Rena has also broken through the front line of defense united by the three trade points. It is possible to support Shaun at any time, and there will be no chance to kill Shaun at that time.

  Wolf was worried, but it wasn’t as Shaun had imagined that Rena would be reunited with him because of insufficient troops. The real reason is that she knows that Rina’s troops are all light cavalry units, which of course move faster than heavy cavalry. Even in the wild, if you want to run with all your strength, the infantry she brought is absolutely not. It may be able to catch up, but under normal circumstances, if a lord is in a dangerous situation, and then a cavalry unit comes to support, in any case, the lord must get on the horse and withdraw first.

  So in fact, what the wolf is really worried about is that Sean runs away on horseback, so she can't kill Sean anymore.

  And thinking of the punishment methods used by the third young master of the Nugus family, the wolf shuddered involuntarily.

Soon, the wolf jumped off the cliff again, then clicked on one of the golden powerhouses, and said in a deep voice: "Joe, you rush back immediately, and then all the others are dispatched except for the wounded and the 500 remaining troops. ... I will leave marks for you along the way, you must follow up as quickly as possible."

  Hearing the wolf's decisive arrangement, the golden powerhouse named Joe was taken aback: "Is it necessary?"

"You have heard that Rena has broken out and the Winter Wolf has been killed, so the other two trading points must not dare to continue pursuing it rashly." Having said this, the wolf already felt a flame in his body. Burning, "Maybe these two guys may give up the pursuit, and the tortoise retracts to their trading point.... And I have a vague intuition that this Sean and Rina must have a connection, so they will be before the next morning at the latest. It will definitely converge, and we will definitely not be able to intercept it with our little strength, but if you can just form an encirclement to support you at that time, then the situation will be completely different."

  Hearing what the wolf said, Joe immediately understood it.

  Wolf itself is a very cunning person. She is best at assault tactics and decapitation tactics, so she must be very rich in the experience similar to chasing at this moment. And even if this point is abandoned, even if their troops and the strong and even the people of several trading points are pieced together from several families, but the wolf is also the highest responsibility for the revenge action launched against Sean this time. People, everyone, under the non-critical error factor, must obey her orders.

  Of course, the more important point is that she is a strong person in the entire team second only to Burair in personal strength.

  After waking up, Joe didn't say anything, but immediately turned and left.

  The camp where they are stationed is only half a day away. If he is faster, he might be able to return to the camp for two hours to rest before noon. After the arrangement is completed, he can leave immediately before the evening. And as long as the wolf's pursuit is smoother, and there is no such thing as an attack for thousands of miles, then maybe you can join the wolf and complete this mission at the latest tomorrow night.

After seeing Joe leave, the wolf did not say anything. Instead, facing 700 soldiers and another golden powerhouse, he said in a deep voice, "You have already seen the critical situation, so I don’t plan to say anything. ... Before noon comes, we must find a shady place to rest, and at the same time, we must bite the tail of Sean’s troop tightly, and must not let the other party stay away from us!"

"Yes!"

   Soon, this force became only two golden powerhouses and 700 soldiers.

  But at this time, they were also at the moment when their morale was the highest, and the exhaustion on their bodies disappeared completely, and the spirit and appearance of the entire army immediately took on a new look. It’s just that the only person who has a different opinion on this is another low-ranking golden strong Zorn. He knows very well that this unit looks very morale now, but because he has been on the road for a whole night, he has done another morning’s work. Now, even the food is no longer enough. If they can't bite Sean's army before the afternoon, it will not be a good thing for them.

  But before this was said, the whole army began to move forward under the leadership of the wolf.

  Same as the situation estimated by the wolf, when the troop bypassed the cliff, the straight-line distance between them and Shaun was indeed more than 500 meters. But if you want to catch up with Sean's troops, it can't be done within an hour, because they must return to the high ground position before they can start the pursuit. As a result, it will take longer, and it will be noon right away. If the army is forced to march at this temperature, the number of non-combat attritions will probably exceed one hundred, which is not a problem for wolves. Acceptable results.

  So after bypassing the high ground, the distance between Wolf and Sean and others was already more than kilometers away. In this regard, the wolf can only tell the troops to start looking for a shady back sun, otherwise it is indeed too dangerous here in the wild land.

  But I don’t know if the world’s will is going against the wolf.

  When noon finally began to come, the wolf and the others hadn't found any shady place where they could rest. Under the high temperature of nearly fifty degrees, the negative situation of the whole army soon began to be exposed. The exhaustion caused by long hours of driving, work and lack of food broke out completely, and then added. The water shortage caused by the high temperature is not something ordinary people can bear.

  The non-combat attrition that the wolf least wants to see has finally started to deteriorate at this moment.

  ……

  At this time, Xiao En and others, who had found a shady and sunny place, were eating dry food and resting.

   "I'm so lucky, I found here just before noon." Andre drank a sip of water, then said with some joy.

"Then you don't thank Sean yet." Cecilia said, "If Sean hadn't lost her necklace and were looking for it, we wouldn't be able to find this place.... I didn't expect this place to look like. It doesn't seem to be peculiar, but there will be such a low valley, and the ground above just blocks the sun.... The wild land is indeed a magical place."

"Perhaps this is the reason why this necklace is called a lucky necklace." Sean said with a golden necklace, but with a faint red light, "I don't know why, when holding this necklace, I always feel as if I'm being targeted by something. But after I checked the surroundings, it was not dangerous at all, which made me feel a little strange."

  "Is it a necklace warning or something?" Cecilia said curiously, "Didn't you say that this necklace will bring you luck?"

   "Yes, but..." Sean was a little puzzled: Is it possible that in the real world, the situation of luck is different from the situation reflected in the game? And being able to find this shady place by oneself, is it also the luck technique at work? And looking back at this moment, it seemed that he was inexplicably irritated because the necklace suddenly heated up, and he did not order a raid on the army that was returning to the camp. It was precisely because of this that he lost this lucky necklace later. of.

  Now that I think of everything, Sean has an illusion. Is luck also a manifestation of the laws of this world? Or even the will of the world itself? (To be continued.)
