From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

Chapter 877: On the eve of the war

Views:

The next morning, as soon as Mond walked out the door, the soldiers under his command had already started morning exercises.

Yesterday, Mond arranged for several soldiers with good killing and training performance to serve as leaders to lead the training.

Seeing Mond's figure, all the soldiers stopped their actions and saluted in unison: "Greetings, Lord Mond!"

Mond nodded.

He met up with Norman and checked the patrol route and the construction progress in the camp.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the old magician's work was very reassuring.

After inspecting the area, Mond said to Norman, "We don't need to spend too many resources to build this camp!"

"It is very likely that we will have to abandon it and move on!"

Norman was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion: "Sir, why don't we leave now?"

Mond turned around and looked at the soldiers' ongoing drills, and said calmly, "On the one hand, it's for training!"

"The team's combat effectiveness is too weak now!"

"Besides, I feel like there's still a battle to be fought!"

"Let's build the camp now so we can have a safe place to defend it when the time comes!"

Mond briefly recounted what happened at the Blood Knife Merchant Corps branch yesterday.

After Norman heard this, he also pondered and murmured to himself: "Blood Knife Merchant Group!"

Then, as if he had thought of something, Norman said, "Sir, when you say that, it reminds me of some of the things those merchants who bought the supplies said when I went to deal with them yesterday!"

Mond's attention was immediately drawn.

Norman slowly said, “Some merchants said yesterday that we might have offended someone we can’t afford to offend!”

"I suggest we leave immediately!"

“I didn’t take it seriously at the time!”

"Now that I hear you say that, it seems that this Blood Knife Merchant Group does have some power behind it!"

Mond frowned slightly: "Go meet the merchant who reminded us to leave quickly today and make sure to find out the details!"

"As for the Originium, don't be stingy!"

Norman responded with a smile: "If it's gone, we can still grab it, right? I get it!"

Mond laughed.

Ye Fan watched the conversation between the two people and couldn't help but laugh and curse them as bandits.

Norman immediately got on a carriage and drove out of the camp under the protection of ten barbarian warriors.

Two or three hours later, Norman returned in a carriage.

As soon as he came back, the old magician reported to Mond the information he had obtained.

It turns out that the headquarters of the Blood Knife Merchant Group is located in the largest oasis in the Blood-soaked Land, called Star Sea Oasis.

Xinghai Oasis is one of the largest oases in the entire Bloodsoaked Land.

Such a large oasis is naturally home to many thugs and business groups of various ethnic groups.

They came and went on this land where every inch was soaked in blood, grabbing huge amounts of wealth.

Behind all the big merchant groups in the blood-soaked lands are the shadows of major forces from the north and the south.

It is very likely that behind the Blood Knife Merchant Group there is a Jackal Tribe.

Many of the leaders and elite warriors there are gnolls.

Moreover, the entire caravan acted very ruthlessly.

There are many bloody cases.

Any force that provokes this merchant group and is even slightly weaker will be directly destroyed.

Therefore, the merchant reminded Norman to leave quickly because the Blood Knife Merchant Group would be here soon!

There was no way the Blood Knife Merchant Group would sit idly by and watch the humiliation of destroying a small oasis branch.

Moreover, the Blood Knife Merchant Group would never give up the benefits of this Raw Water Oasis.

When Ye Fan heard Norman's words, he immediately knew that their old rival had arrived.

Mond showed a slightly ferocious smile: "What a narrow road for enemies to cross!"

"I didn't expect it to be another caravan of Jackals!"

Mond's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was obviously thinking of the scene in the mine before.

He tapped his fingers again and again, and ordered directly: "Norman, arrange two teams of wolf cavalry and two teams of desert cavalry to patrol and guard the oasis!"

"This time, we will teach the Blood Blade Merchants an unforgettable lesson!"

Norman immediately took the order and went down to make arrangements.

Ye Fan controlled Hunshang and began to tremble.

He was thirsty for blood.

Mond saw the blood emanating from the Soul-Slaying Sword, and holding the sword, he said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Don't worry, you will be able to drink blood soon!"

The fox girl Irene and the cat girl Lina, who were serving on the side, saw this scene and looked at each other with surprise and fear in their eyes.

They could feel a very strong aura of evil and pressure from Mond's sword.

Fortunately, they signed a slavery contract with Mond, otherwise, they would have been very likely to be hit by the soul pressure of Soul Death.

Mond couldn't sit still and walked out the door

The men are all undergoing arduous training.

Norman released all the wolf cavalry and the wild people cavalry on guard.

Mond took a look at the height of the wall and the defensive facilities within the camp.

He frowned slightly, it was really too simple.

Before, Mond felt that the battle he was going to fight might be against the slave-hunting team that Benny brought back.

Just leaning against the wall is enough to deal with it.

But now the enemy has become a behemoth like the Blood Knife Merchant Group.

Obviously, the wall alone is not enough to create much advantage for our side.

Mond keeps the barbarians, werewolves, and the strongest wildlings continuing their training.

There are about five hundred other barbarians who have relatively weak foundations and do not have much time to grow. They should first strengthen the defense facilities.

The two-meter-and-a-half-meter-high camp defense wall continued to be raised and reinforced.

A moat and a suspension bridge will also be built around the camp.

Fortunately, with the old magician Norman around, it is not difficult to implement.

Four hundred men immediately set to work defending the wall.

Mond and Norman came to the outside of the camp with a hundred people.

Divine power and magical light quickly emerged from Norman's body.

The yellowish earth element in the air quickly boiled like boiling water.

Not only Mond, but even the one hundred wild folk warriors on standby nearby could feel the heavy and condensed breath of the rioting earth element in the surrounding air.

In Norman's hands, complicated marks were constantly being pinched out.

There was a very short but mysterious spell chanted in his mouth.

The ochre-yellow light in his hands became brighter and brighter.

Finally, after more than a minute, Norman's eyes suddenly widened, and his hands, which were emitting an earthy yellow light, slammed heavily on the ground!

With a bang.

His hands seemed to fall lightly, but the earth element contained in them made the ground suddenly make a muffled sound.

Then, the solid ground began to rumble from deep within.
