As a human city closest to the Greenland Forest, a small team of witcher knights was also stationed in Blue Hill City.
According to the news returned by Vulture, this team of witcher knights left the station seven days ago. After hiring some local mercenaries, they plunged into the Greenland forest and have not returned yet.
This also means that before their wizard team entered this world, that demon hunting team had already been active in the Greenland forest!
So Mary didn't dare to delay, and quickly sent the news back to the wizard camp, and notified Greem who was hunting monsters deep in the forest.
When the notification was received, Greem was leading his golem squad to encircle a group of ogre tribes.
This ogre tribe has a total of 27 members, including 22 adult ogres and 5 ogre cubs. With the ogre's 3-meter-high, 500-pound body, plus a strength of 14 points, all adult males have quasi-shaman-level strength. Even a slightly weaker female ogre possesses terrifying strength no less than that of a senior apprentice.
If such an ogre tribe is handed over to the aborigines to encircle and suppress, it may take 300-500 fully armed and well-trained fighters to do it. And even if the siege is successful, this team may have to pay a terrible price of nearly half of the casualties.
However, when this task falls into the hands of a wizard, it may become so simple!
If it was just a simple strangulation, then Greem only needed to send out the Fire Lord to kill them all. But in that case, the idea of obtaining living samples will come to nothing!
So Greem only used a bottle of debilitating potion to pollute the water source of this group of ogres. Then, taking advantage of their greatly weakened strength, Greem summoned 6 terrifying rock pythons in one go and captured them.
An adult male ogre has 16 points of constitution and 14 points of strength, plus a super strong ability to regenerate flesh and blood. With this kind of strength, it has already competed with a poor body training quasi-shaman. It's a pity that when they were contaminated with the debilitating potions specially formulated for their race, both their physique and strength dropped to below 10 points, and their strength was greatly reduced.
However, the quasi-witch-level rock pythons have 16 points of strength and 18 points of constitution. When the ogres were infected with the disease one after another, they came out in full force. It doesn't attack the enemy either, just relying on its rock-like body to drive all the ogres together.
Greem just came out at this time, using the voodoo scroll to cast a sleeping spell, so 27 ogres fell to the ground one after another, and the thick wooden sticks and boulder clubs in their hands smashed shallow holes in the ground.
Commanding the rock python to open its ring-shaped mouth and swallow the sleeping ogres one by one, Greem had time to process the information stored in the communication crystal.
Demon Hunt Squad... Entered 7 days ago...
This message also caught Greem's attention.
Calculated according to the time, the time when this demon hunting team entered the Greenland forest was even earlier than the time when the wizards arrived. So their purpose is most likely not directed at the wizard camp, but another mission.
Couldn't it just happen that some indigenous spellcasters were hiding in the Greenland forest to attract those witcher knights? Although such an idea is a bit absurd, but based on the professional characteristics of the demon hunter knights, it is really possible that Greem has guessed it!
So, while sending the rock python to send the captured ogre back to the camp, Greem summoned 10 wind's breath monsters and quickly scattered into the surrounding forest, looking for the trace of the demon hunting knight team.
The Wind Breath Monster is a low-level puppet made by Greem with the primary crystal nucleus of the wind system. It is relatively weak and looks like a whirlwind more than 1 meter high. Their strength, physique, and spirit are all below 5 points, but their combat strength is a mess. But their only advantage is their high agility and ability to fly.
In fact, this is also nonsense. It is really strange that a small whirlwind formed by a mass of cyan air cannot fly!
Greem attached a bit of mental power to the 10 wind breath monsters before releasing them. When they fluttered silently over the forest, their cyan bodies could almost blend into the background of the blue sky, and it was not easy to attract the attention of the enemy.
That's why they are specially made by Greem to act as sentinels for flying eyeliners!
10 wind-breathing monsters are 10 different spiritual perspectives, and the information sent back at the same time is also massive. If Greem's mental strength alone was used, it might only be able to support a relatively vague visual tracking. But now with the help of the chip, Greem simply no longer wasted his mental power on directing the flight path of the Wind Breath Monster, but handed everything over to the chip.
The chip commanded the wind breath monster to search and check repeatedly in the sky over the forest, using the optimized flight route to search the largest area. And Greem only needed to find a safe place to rest and silently wait for the chip to bring him good news.
At nightfall, the chip really brought him good news.
The team of witcher knights has been found!
...
In a mountain depression 80 miles away from the wizard camp, three or four piles of bonfires were lit.
Although there are too many dangerous monsters in the forest who are not afraid of flames, and are even attracted by light, the knights who have trekked dozens of miles of mountain roads after hard battles need these.
The mercenaries quickly set up the tent, then sat around the campfire and began to prepare a sumptuous dinner for themselves.
A wild boar caught on the road was skinned, its internal organs were taken out, washed clean in a stream, then put on wooden sticks, and grilled over a slow bonfire. While turning the wooden sticks, the experienced mercenaries evenly spread the prepared sauce and spices on it with a brush.
The roasted golden-brown wild pork is constantly overflowing with amber-like fat, dripping on the charcoal fire below, making a sizzling sound, and overflowing with a rich aroma that permeates the audience.
The whole camp was filled with joy after the big victory!
The hired mercenaries were busy in the camp, while the 13 knights of the Demon Hunt Squad helped each other remove the heavy armor on their bodies and simply treated their injuries.
Today, they successfully found the evil lair hidden deep in the Greenland forest, and blocked seven evil spellcasters inside. After a fierce battle, they managed to kill 6 evil spellcasters and capture one alive. Although all the knights were injured, there was no heart-wrenching death, which undoubtedly made the leader of the knights heave a sigh of relief.
As for the four auxiliary mercenaries who died in battle, they were never included in the casualty list by the knight leader. These profit-seeking people who are open to money, as long as they return to the remaining gold coins, this group of mercenaries will only be grateful to Dade, and will never be dissatisfied.
Mercenaries have been doing this most dangerous job since ancient times!
So ever since they accepted the employment in Lanqiu City, they already had the realization in their hearts that they couldn't turn around smoothly. Now that the task has been successfully completed, the Cavaliers have also promised generous rewards, so the pain of losing 4 teammates is quickly replaced by the desire for a better life in the future.
The camp was full of laughter and laughter, and there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.
In stark contrast to the knights and mercenaries, was a thin figure whose hands and feet were tightly bound. Seriously speaking, he is just an underage boy! Long-term malnutrition made his body look extremely thin, and his abdomen was thin under the broken gray cloth robe, revealing his ribs.
His exposed skin was covered with blue-black bruises and countless tiny scars. A rope was strung across his mouth, and a rough gravel was stuffed inside. This is all to prevent him from casting spells secretly!
Unable to hold spells, unable to cooperate with gestures, this made him who had just awakened that strange power completely lose his ability to resist. He could only lean against a tree root with his body crooked, scanning every smiling face in the camp with hatred.
These are his enemies!
It was this group of people who drove him out of his home and made him unable to return to his home. He could only wander around in the deserted mountains and forests like a lonely ghost all day long. If it wasn't for a kind "companion" who led him into that forest hut, I'm afraid his final fate would be to become a delicious meal for a wild beast in the Greenland forest!
It's a pity that the peaceful and beautiful days didn't last long. The camp in the woods established by a few of their wandering spellcasters was destroyed by the following demon hunter knights. And his companions, those companions who had been together day and night for half a year, fell under the swords of the knights.
The knights are murderers, and these mercenaries are accomplices!
Looking at their smiling faces, it was as if a fire had ignited in his heart. Anger, sadness, hatred... These extreme emotions flowed slowly through his heart, making him grit his teeth so as not to let the tears flow out.
As long as I have a chance to escape, I will definitely use the cruelest and craziest means to kill them all one by one!
Roaring crazily in his heart, but he knew it was just his own delusion.
Immediately, thoughts of despair engulfed his mind again!
At this extremely tormenting moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head in surprise, and stared motionlessly at a certain place above the camp.
Something is out of the ordinary there!
This... This is the elemental fluctuation unique to the wind element!
Above the noisy campsite, in the dark night sky, there was nothing there. However, relying on his awakened elemental talent, this young man sensed a special gathering of wind elements there.
Convergence of natural elements? No way!
Because before half a quarter of an hour, there was no abnormality there. It is impossible for wind elements to gather there for no reason!
However, in the next second, the boy clenched his teeth violently to keep himself from screaming.
Because three special gathering points of wind elements appeared in the sky, and they were slowly cruising there.
It seems... It seems to be investigating something!
Change! This camp is about to change!
Hope was ignited in the boy's eyes, and he began to observe the surroundings of the camp quietly.
Soon, he made an even bigger discovery.
