Chapter 200 On The Road(1/2)

"boom!"
"kill--!"
"no, do not want!"
"The idea is prickly, run quickly!"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
"Kill me!"
"..."
The sounds of fighting, the sound of bullets being fired, the sound of gun blades piercing flesh, the wails of pain, the unwilling sounds of dying, the sounds of panicked escapes, the sounds of angry pursuits...
On the battlefield, everything is chaotic. Sometimes, the killer will even raise his butcher knife to his companions.
Ares was riding on a white horse, expressionlessly looking at the fleeing bandits and the knights chasing the bandits. Five days had passed since she left Lotus City, and she had already left Luo Chen's territory and entered Fulei.
Within the territory of Ya, further north is the territory of Yeahi.
The territories of these two people are bordered by the Wanren Mountains, the front line, so the main cities are close to the Wanren Mountains. There are many villages near Luo Chen, so they are often harassed by bandits.
It seems that the number of bandits has also increased, more than five times in just three months.
And these extra bandits, three months ago they were still graceful nobles, holy and holy believers of the Church of Light, adventurers who were active in every corner wherever they had money, and ordinary people who lived an ordinary life.
Enjoy a life that suits their respective identities. At that time, they did not expect that they would have such a day.
The gods came together, the mountains turned into valleys, and the foreign gods occupied the southern land. The pattern of this land changed drastically. Those who were willing to submit to the foreign gods stayed in the city, and those who dared to fight became bandits.
But it's just their wishful thinking. In the final analysis, it's all about profit.
Because of their interests, they either took the initiative or were forced to occupy the mountains and become kings, and lived a life of robbing families and homes.
Walking all the way from Luo Chen's territory to here, this was already the third bandit Ares encountered. It took five days and three hundred miles. This frequency was simply outrageous.
However, there are many bandits, but their strength cannot be complimented. Basically, they have not stopped the Cavaliers from firing a volley without running away, and Ares has not even taken action himself.
"Lord Ares, the road ahead has been cleared. In this battle, 164 bandits were killed and 244 were captured. Some of the remnants fled into the mountains and forests. I dare to ask Lord Ares, what should I do?
How to deal with it?”
Not long after, a tall man with blond hair who looked like a big golden lion with a sword on his waist and four bamboo spears on his back came over to Ares and told him that he was the captain of the second brigade of the All Souls Knights.
——Molets Mbeki.
To transport military supplies, Ares led two brigades of 1,000 soldiers to coordinate the escort. Among them, the captain of the second brigade, Molec, was responsible for detecting the enemy's situation and clearing out potential threats, while the captain of the fourth brigade, Marcelo Cordero,
Responsible for guarding military assets.
In addition to these two brigades, there are also 2,000 civilians temporarily recruited to transport military supplies.
Although there are many people, the queue is also very long. It is very inconvenient when entering deep mountains, dense forests, canyons and mountain roads. Bandits often launch attacks at this time. They do not seek everything, they just take things and run away.
, the end is abominable.
Some people may say that it is enough to use space equipment to transport supplies. In that case, only a few elites will be dispatched. There will be fewer people, smaller targets, higher efficiency, and faster speeds. But if that is the case, why do we need to lead the people?
Luo Chen, or all the void lords, need people who can be used by them, but lambs to be raised by them. Otherwise, why would Luo Chen move Ares's people away.
"Follow the old rules and kill him."
Ares said it in an understatement, not caring at all that her words could mean the death of hundreds of people.
In fact, Molec had already predicted that if they were closer to Lotus City, or on the way back, they would be able to capture these bandits and do them as coolies.
But now we haven't even reached one-fifth of the whole journey. How can we spare the time and manpower to control these bandits? Taking them will not only distract them but also cost money. Letting them go is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Of course, a hundred of them will be killed.
most.
The same is true for the bandits caught twice before, and this time is of course no exception. However, even though the handling is like this, Molec also knows the propriety. This time the top commander is the group leader Ares, what should be done and what should not be done.
He knows very well what should be done, what can be done, and what cannot be done.
If Lotus City was developing rapidly, he would have become one of the four captains of the Knights at a young age, and his future would be limitless. All he had to do was show his face well in front of his boss, rather than force his face on his boss.
"yes!"
Molec replied and left. Ares waved his hand and led the team to move forward. Not long after, the wailing of tragic death was heard in the dense forest.
The next few days were more or less the same. Along the way there were indispensable mountain bandits and bandits fighting against the autumn wind. This made Ares a little suspicious that the transportation of military supplies was fake, and that it was real to ask them to help annihilate the bandits in their name.
Three days later, Ares and his party finally left Freya's territory and entered Yeyashi's territory, and then encountered a battle that day.
Freya's territory and Luo Chen's territory are both mountainous and forested, but starting from Yeyashi's territory, it's mostly plains.
Ares and his party passed through the dense forest. Before they could get out, a scout came to report that there was someone fighting in front of them. Ares immediately ordered the team to stop and quickly arranged the order.
"Marcelo, please quickly take two hundred people and disperse around to investigate to prevent an attack from the east. The rest of the people are waiting and be careful to protect the military resources."
What a leader needs to pay attention to is balance. Molec has made great achievements in several battles, so Marcelo should be given a chance to perform.
After Marcelo took the people away, after a while, Ares said again: "Molets, you are optimistic about the team, I will go to the front to take a look."
Ares is also a person with a sharp mind. Suddenly, he had an idea in his heart.
"Lord Ares..."
Molec looked a little embarrassed. Although Ares was stronger than him, as a subordinate, he asked his superiors to do things, which was not a dereliction of duty.
"Military information is of great importance. Lord Ares is extremely powerful, why don't I go to the front to inquire about it."
At this point, Ares was not stupid, so he naturally knew what Moratz meant, and with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he said: "In that case, go ahead and see who are the two parties fighting in front of you?"
"Yes! I take my orders!"
Molec first said to Ares, then waved his hand, summoned a dozen people and galloped forward.
Not long after, they reached the edge of the battlefield and climbed tall trees to spy on information.
As he looked at it, he suddenly saw something, and a trace of solemnity flashed in Molec's eyes.
"That is……"
Molec said in a solemn voice, knowing that the matter was of great importance, but he did not dare to stay any longer, so he quickly returned and told Ares what he had seen.
"What? Are you sure you read that right?!"
After listening to Molec's story, Ares' expression became less natural.
There is no other reason than that one of the two warring parties is likely to be an Allied force.
"I don't dare to lie. It's just that the team on the battlefield, like our team, is transporting military supplies. Moreover, I also saw people from Crystal City."
Molec spoke quickly and told everything he saw, but it made Ares even more embarrassed.
Crystal City was no other place, it was the territory of the lord that Ares had been ordered by Luo Chen to go to aid before, but Moraic also went with her, and she believed that Moraic would not admit his mistake.
The people from Crystal City are there, that is to say, they are the convoys transporting military supplies from other hinterland territories.
Logically speaking, these lords and Luo Chen all work under Bai Moxue. Although they rarely see each other and communicate with each other, they still have the title of ally with each other. In this way, if the ally is in trouble, if she
If you don't help, it will be a sin if it affects Luo Chen.
But when it comes to helping, Ares is not willing to do it. She is not willing to use her own men to fight for others, and there is no benefit at all.
Ares felt a little embarrassed and entangled in his heart. It was not easy for Lotus City to train these warriors, but things in the void were more important, especially the lord of Crystal City. She would not suffer any loss if she owed him a favor.
Having made a decision in his heart, Ares did not hesitate. Since Marcelo had not returned, he asked Molec to guard the convoy, and he personally led 400 people to the battlefield ahead.
The moment he rushed into the dense forest, the sunlight suddenly became dazzling without the cover of the leaves, and Ares also saw the battlefield with his own eyes.
Both sides of the battlefield, no, it should be said that three parties are all acquaintances of Ares. One of them is Crystal City in the north of Lotus City. Like Luo Chen, she is the territory of Lord Sonia, a second-level lord. Now she is also on the battlefield.
Among them, Ares easily recognized him.
Standing next to Sonia was a dwarf wearing heavy armor. He seemed to be a lord, but Ares had never seen him before, but he seemed to be quite strong.
Although their opponents were disguised as bandits, as soon as they took action, the rich divine radiance showed their identity as a group of believers of the Church of Light who were unwilling to fail.
Sonia and the dwarf's troops totaled four thousand people, but apart from the civilians recruited, there were only less than two thousand soldiers.
Among them, Sonia encountered a catastrophe, and she had to rely on Luo Chen's help to recover. Her vitality was severely damaged, and she only had 500 soldiers.
Although there were few people, the equipment of the two soldiers was better than the other. Sonia's soldiers wore a layer of light armor, exuding a layer of cold brilliance, like the light of the moon, holding crystal staffs and long bows.
, good at long-range attacks.
The dwarf soldiers are awesome, they are all covered in armor, and their weapons include axes, hammers, spears, short spears... They are armed to the teeth. What is even more enviable is that the armor weapons of the dwarf soldiers are all enchanted magic equipment (also known as
It is a rare item), even if it is only the first level, it will make people drool.
In this situation, either the dwarf is extremely rich, or his own talent is causing trouble.
It's a pity that Ares is not Luo Chen, so he didn't think in this direction at all.
If Luo Chen were here, he would sigh, he is indeed the person chosen by Bai Moxue, each has his or her own abilities, Sonia is like this (having had dealings with Sonia, there are some speculations), the dwarf is like this, and he is even more so.
in this way!
There are about 5,000 people in the Church of Light. They are dressed simply and hold sharp swords. Not to mention iron armor, they don't even have leather armor or plate armor. They look like they are down and out, but their aura is quite good. Compared with Sony,
To be continued...
