The three-man team of Roger, Evelyn and Lin Lichuan was crossing the mountains in the woods. The chasing team sent by Suero was not evenly distributed. There were whole cavalry companies led by Huang Zheng and Rio, who were responsible for chasing large enemy teams of more than 100 people; there were also cavalry squads consisting of a squad, who wandered around the large group of people, chasing scattered soldiers consisting of three or five soldiers, and also covering and intercepting after the cavalry company defeated the enemy. And the expert team like Roger was responsible for chasing some experts among the enemy. They often acted very quickly and separated from the large group. If such people broke into a small village defended by militia, they would definitely cause great damage.
The prey of Roger and his two companions was a team of five imperials, all of whom were at least mid-level strong, and the leader should be an experienced black guard. Lin Lichuan had discovered them with the Mage's Eye before, and when they approached, that person was very keen to notice the movement behind them, and then led the others into the forest on the side of the road.
After entering the forest, the flying wizard's eye's vision was greatly limited, and it was difficult to find the traces of these people. They could only rely on the dark elf ranger Evelyn's ability to identify traces to find the path they ran.
However, the opponents were also good at fighting in the forest. After following them for a while, they actually lost track.
Evelyn squatted among the grass leaves. The footprints on the ground stopped here. On the left was a naturally formed uphill path, and on the right was a small stream.
"Do you want us to split up and chase after them?" Roger asked.
"No need." The dark elf took a few steps, put her hands on a tree nearby, and closed her eyes slightly. After more than ten seconds, she opened her eyes and said, "Sly guys, they really chose to climb the tree."
Lin Lichuan asked curiously: "Can you talk to trees?"
"No." Evelyn took the lead and jumped onto the tree. "We elves are born to live with trees. We can feel the natural state of trees. You can call it resonance, intuition or something else. It's an innate ability. We can sense the unnatural tracks that suddenly appear in the harmonious nature. This tree was infected with the breath of black water disease from top to bottom, so they escaped by climbing up the tree."
"How do you know they didn't take those two paths but set foot on this tree?" asked Roger, who was the second to follow.
Evelin thought for a moment and said, “No reason, it’s just a woman’s intuition.”
"I believe you." Roger agreed, "After all, you have lived for so many years as a woman."
"You said I'm an old woman?" Evelyn turned around and glanced at Roger coldly.
"I don't."
"You're going to die."
"I swear in the name of Lord Xiao Chen that you are a genuine elf girl." Roger said very seriously, which earned him a cold snort from Evelyn.
Lin Lichuan flew behind them and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Roger and Evelyn were both at the high level, and Lin Lichuan was not an ordinary mid-level warrior. The three of them leaped between the branches and chased after him at an extremely fast speed. After about twenty minutes, Evelyn said, "I can clearly feel the aura of the blackwater disease."
"Xiao Lin, please provide us with protection." Roger said to Lin Lichuan.
"Okay." Lin Lichuan cast the toxin-isolating shield extremely quickly. After a few seconds, the three of them were enveloped in a ball of light.
Evelyn's calculations were indeed very accurate. A few minutes later, they saw five figures in front of them. The enemies had fallen to the ground and were running between the trees.
Roger looked at their steps and leaps and judged, "They should all be at the intermediate level. I'll deal with the two on the left, Evelyn will deal with the two on the right, and Xiaolin will take care of the one in the middle."
Roger took out a lance from his waist and held it in his hand, ready to get closer, shoot to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, and then close in and attack with a long sword. Roger was already very skilled in using weapons such as air rifles, and this time he brought a lance for convenience.
Evelyn still used her bow and arrow. For a ranger like her, the power and flexibility of the air rifle could not match her bow and arrow. "I'll shoot a round first, maybe I can kill one."
She was seen advancing through the woods on branches like a monkey. When she reached a position with a good view and a suitable distance, she bent her bow and shot four arrows in succession, with a slight interval between each arrow, attacking one of the men from behind.
The few imperial soldiers fleeing in front had already heard the noise behind them. When the bowstrings sounded, they swung left and right, trying to avoid the attack from behind. However, the arrows of the dark elf ranger were not so easy to dodge. The four arrows had already blocked the possibility of dodging on both sides of the target.
The man dodged the two arrows on the left, but the other two arrows pierced his back and lower back. The imperial soldier let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Roger, who followed behind, did not stop. As he flew through the air, his right hand holding the sword slashed a sword light and cut the man on the ground in half. The four remaining people in front saw their companion being knocked down in a single encounter, so they did not dare to run away, but stopped and prepared to turn around and meet the enemy.
At this moment, Roger, Evelyn and Lin Lichuan attacked at the same time, and bullets, arrows and magic each covered one person.
Roger's bullet did not hit the enemy, but it disrupted his hands and feet. The man had just avoided the air gun shot when he saw a knife light wrapped in lightning and fighting spirit coming towards him. He raised his sword in panic to meet the attack, but the sword in his hand missed. Roger's Thunder Sword bypassed his block and pierced his heart.
On the other side, Evelyn shot ten arrows in just five seconds. Her opponent blocked left and right, but only blocked seven. The last three arrows hit his chest, abdomen and throat respectively. The warrior fell down holding the arrow at his throat.
Lin Lichuan's attack was the most powerful. His magic surged out of the woods like a huge wave, engulfing the third warrior in one go.
The last imperial warrior looked at the three men with despair on their faces, and saw that Evelyn had already pointed her bow at him. He shouted, "Wait a minute! I have something to say!"
Evelyn wanted to kill him directly, but she saw Roger stop and walk towards the imperial man.
"What do you want to say?" Roger asked the man, keeping a cautious distance and pointing his lance at him.
"I'm going to say it very simply. Let's die together!" The man took two steps forward and suddenly rushed towards Roger desperately. Roger fired two shots at his body, but failed to stop his charge. He swung the Thunder Sword and slashed a blade of light at the enemy who was still ten meters away. However, the enemy exploded just before the blade of light reached him, and exploded into a black slurry all over the sky. (To be continued)
