Chapter 403 Minos and Xiu
Under normal circumstances, the mercenaries were running too fast in the forest than soldiers, but this time they were full of anger and followed the 27th Legion behind them was not slow. And I don’t know if Menos suddenly had a sudden enlightenment and even gave the order not to open another road, so that the soldiers learned to evacuate the mercenaries to scatter into small groups and follow the path they had just passed. So, the addition and subtraction of these two parts made Menos catch up less than 100 meters away from the edge of the forest.
But this is not a good thing for the 27th Legion, which has only more than 3,000 people left. It is desperately chasing, and even more dispersed than the mercenaries, so it bit the enemy's tail and was hit with a fatal counterattack.
It was like a kitten that was stepped on to his tail. When the shouts of killing came from behind, Delgado and the three mercenary commanders turned back in horror, and they couldn't help but curse Damas' incompetence; but when they relied on years of experience and found that the scale of the commotion was not very large and very scattered, the four of them turned into tigers after looking at each other happily.
Mercenaries were more motivated than soldiers, and guerrillas were the basic means for mercenaries who hunted monsters in the forest to survive. Under the command of the mercenary commanders, they had not been able to pass the whole night without hesitation and rushed towards the scattered pursuers.
Then, as soon as the two sides collided, the 27th Legion was cut off more than 500 combat power with an almost 2-1 loss.
Regret is meaningless, and being able to hold these enemies and make Clarence smooth, can be regarded as making up for the previous failure. Menos immediately shrank his troops and fought to defend his life. He just watched one-fifth of the remaining soldiers in the process. He really didn't know whether he should be satisfied with this.
"Hahaha... Without the cooperation of the magician, I want to see what other abilities these mistresses can have."
"It seems Damas is finished."
"Unlike, the other party can catch up so quickly, either leaving some people to face them, or the Vulau mercenary group fled without fighting."
The soldiers who were struggling to defend the group made the three mercenary commanders relax and chat. Then one of the mercenary commanders asked Delgado with some concern: "This opportunity to destroy them is really good, but is it really good for us to stay here? Where is the village..."
"The troops left behind outside are not less than one legion, and there are more than two thousand cavalry. Even if the enemy is a reorganized legion, it may not be possible to win. Don't worry, let alone the strength of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is not something we can compare with." The first person who spoke answered before Delgado made an answer. It was not that he was very sure of his analysis, but that he felt the crisis, the internal crisis from Angus, and was unwilling to give up the credit in front of him, so that the Blood Wolf could take everything.
"What makes sense is that, depending on the situation of this pursuer, the people who attacked the village are probably not much better."
Three guys said one by one, and Delgado certainly understood what they were thinking. However, he was relieved because of their analysis, especially when the master had confessed to test the strength of the hunter, he subconsciously turned back and looked at the village.
"No, how can you take it lightly at critical moments? You have given all the credits of the battle in the forest. Let your people end the battle quickly. According to the report of the Hunter Mercenary Group, the enemy outside is our primary goal." Thinking about checking the hunter's strength, Delgado made a promise generously, and turned around to show his sincerity and took his people away first.
He didn't know his true intention and mistakenly thought that Delgado's generousness was to seize the credit for killing the primary target. The three mercenary commanders immediately issued a strong attack order to stop their own injuries. After all, there are only five of the eight mercenary groups left now. As long as they can be the top leader, the credit they will be distributed will be enough to instantly restore their vitality, and this is not considered the status they can get.
The battle was very damaged, and the team was able to set up battle formations in places with relatively sparse trees. However, in order to pursue, the 27th Legion, which abandoned the heavy shield and other defensive equipment, increased its pressure due to the sudden increase in the enemy's attack, and the casualties ratio returned to the previous two-to-one situation.
The remaining soldiers were exhausted by the continuous pursuit. Even the captains and personal guards of each team with five-star strength also sacrificed several. Seeing that even the battle formation could not be supported, Menos had the idea of dying in his mind that he had never had when facing the army of undead.
However, at this moment, a small wave of arrows suddenly shot into the squad of enemies in front of him from the side, followed by more Dou Qi Slashes. Although it was messy and wasted most of the time, Menos was excited to see the mercenaries retreating, and they all set out on the road of escape again in fear.
"Captain Menos, are you okay?"
"Fortunately, fortunately, you came too timely." Seeing Xiu running over, Menos couldn't help but shed tears.
"Is it really timely?" Xiu felt very uncomfortable in his heart as the tragic situation of the 27th Legion. Just like the Forty-Sixth Legion he took over, this legion is considered to be disabled, but now he has no time to care about these things. With a hint of expectation, he continued to ask: "By the way, has Lu Xien been here? Have you seen him?"
"Marquis? I didn't see him. Did he come alone? What happened?" Menos, who had just relaxed, became nervous again. Although he had not been together for a long time, he understood that if Lu Chen disappeared, it meant that something extraordinary happened. Combined with the current situation, it would only be a huge crisis.
"No, you haven't walked for a long time, we followed us, and then halfway through the way, we found a mercenary group that was planning to attack you, so we decided to replace them and raid the enemy in turn. But Lu Xien chased after them alone to stop them. When we chased them, there were only a few hundred burnt corpses on the scene..." The safety of Lu Chen, who lost his calmness, had no time to worry about the battle that was still going on, and quickly told him what happened.
He killed a mercenary group by himself. Although he had heard many of Lu Chen's amazing actions, Menos, who had never seen him take action, was still scared. However, he calmed down: "Don't worry, you know the strength of the Marquis better than me. As you said, he will be fine. He is probably chasing the enemy, or... Damn, is something wrong with His Highness the Second Prince?" He wanted to comfort Xiu, but as he said that, Menos thought of another bad situation.
At this moment, the soldier came to report that a mercenary who claimed to be Lu Chen's subordinates asked to see the commander.
