Chapter 767 Misty Forest
It was dawning, and Jiahong and his group were ready to leave the town's inn, heading straight to the city wall pass two miles away, waiting to enter the barbarian territory in the north.
Under the dim light, the silhouette of the strong and majestic city walls and the endless mountains in the distance were vaguely exposed. The illuminated wind lights swayed in the cold wind. After leaving the town, the sky gradually became brighter.
Any mercenary team that entered the northern border to hunt the heads of barbarians was a large and medium-sized mercenary team with hundreds or thousands of people. A small mercenary team of more than 50 people, such as Jiahong, who were guarding the pass, made the Hanhai officer who was looking at him, and this was completely going to die.
You should know that the barbarians have strong combat power and live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. They invade the south every year, causing the Hanhai Border Defense Army to lose a lot of money. The combat effectiveness of the mercenary team is much weaker than the army. Even the Hanhai Patrol Cavalry Team dare not go out just fifty people. Such a small mercenary team either goes crazy or burns its brains. It would be strange if such a few people were not destroyed by the barbarians in the past.
But officers Hanhai are too lazy to care whether they are dead or alive. The so-called risks and opportunities coexist, and whether they can come back alive can only depend on their luck.
The city wall was full of soldiers of the Hanhai Border Defense Army wearing hard and held sharp edges. The sharp crossbow machine hit the crossbow arrows as thick as their forearms, and shone with a cold light under the reflection of the flames.
Jiahong and his group of more than fifty people brought their horses and dry food to the pass and found an open space to stop, waiting for the pass to open the door.
As time went by, mercenary teams came out of the town and arrived at the pass one after another. Most of them were teams of thousands of people. They looked rebellious and fiercely glanced at Jiahong and others, but the one-armed Thunder Dragon glared back fiercely, which made those people restrain themselves a lot.
"We may have a lot of trouble when we go here. These guys who lick blood at the edge of the knife are probably targeting us." Lei Long leaned over to Jiahong and whispered.
Jiahong's face turned pale after hearing Lei Long's words. After all, he was a civil servant, and those mercenary teams were all big and strong. If they really fought, he would probably suffer first.
"When we pass the pass, we will go all the way. Don't stop. Let's talk about it after entering the foggy forest." Lei Long was worried that these mercenary teams would have bad intentions. After all, they would not maintain order after leaving the city wall, and that would be a region where the strong prey on the weak.
Those mercenary teams entering the northern border have done very little to kill people and rob. Anyway, they are all black and black, so the dangers they face are not only barbarians, but also these powerful mercenary teams.
"Zhou Rui, take a few brothers to protect Lord Jia, and you can't leave the clan no matter what happens." Lei Long was worried and asked Zhou Rui, who had been promoted to Black Iron Sergeant, to protect civil servant Jiahong.
More than fifty warriors were carefully selected from the Far East Commando. Although they are dressed as mercenaries now, the killing aura that vaguely exudes on their bodies still makes people dare not underestimate them.
The sky in the distance turned white, and the red sun seemed to be pushed out bit by bit. Thousands of light shone through the clouds and the golden light made people feel the majesty of the city wall even more.
The Hanhai Empire has spent a lot of effort to stop the barbarians from moving south. The city wall of more than a thousand miles alone has consumed a lot of national strength. However, now that the Hanhai army is strong, the barbarians have not dared to reach this city wall area for a long time.
The pass became even more noisy, and dozens of mercenary teams were crowded together, most of whom went to the north to hunt down the heads of barbarians, but some of them went to the Mist Forest to find some regular medicinal beasts.
Officer Hanhai stood on the city wall and watched as the time was almost over, then waved to the back, and a soldier from the Hanhai Border Guard rushed to the next drum and beat the drum.
With the sound of dongdong, a large number of soldiers from the Hanhai Empire rushed to the city wall and began to guard against the barbarians in the north taking the opportunity to attack when the door was opened. However, it was just a formality now. They had not seen the living barbarians for a long time. The empire's hunting decree made the barbarians retreat to the depths of the foggy forest and dared not come out.
Everything was ready. With the order of the officer, the winch on the city wall began to creak, and the heavy door closed slowly rose, revealing the scene on the north side of the city wall. It was desolate and bleak, with white bones faintly reflected in the eyes, and a lifeless aura rushed towards us.
"Let's go--" Lei Long held a battle knife and greeted everyone and walked over first. The other mercenary teams followed them in a row and poured into the northern region with a harsh environment.
The trees more than ten miles near the city wall had been cut off by the border defense forces, and only weeds swayed in the cold wind. After the Thunder Dragon identified the direction, he led the team straight to the north.
Because the other mercenary teams performed different tasks, they found a direction and moved forward after leaving the city wall. Ten minutes later, the gate of the city wall was closed again, and Lei Long and others had only a blurry shadow left in the city wall.
In recent years, countless mercenary teams have entered the northern region and have long explored some paths. Lei Long and others are going to follow these paths to go deep into the territory of the barbarians, find the king of barbarians, and discuss together to deal with the Hanhai Empire. The road ahead is dangerous. Lei Long and the soldiers responsible for protecting Jiahong dare not be careless at all.
The Thunder Dragon still arranged the vanguards to explore the way according to the arrangements in the army, and also arranged the teams behind the palace, all of which were elite soldiers, so the alert was very tight.
After more than ten miles, Lei Long and his group entered the forest. The tall canopy blocked the sun. The dark light in the whole forest was dark. The rotten dead branches and leaves were covered with thick layers on the ground. There were piles of white bones and scattered weapons on the road from time to time, reminding them that this was a foggy forest full of dangers.
"Sir Sergeant, we have a team of mercenaries with thousands of people behind us, and I'm afraid we're looking at us." After walking in the forest for not long, the soldiers behind the palace came to report.
The sergeant Lei Long snorted coldly. These people really didn't know how to live or die. They wanted to eat them because they were large and powerful. However, their target is the situation of barbarians, and there is no need to conflict with the mercenary team, so they ordered the traces of disguise and went straight into the depths of the forest.
The outer periphery of the Mist Forest is about dozens of miles, but the more you go inside, the more dangerous it is. Who knows if you will encounter barbarians? The mercenary team kept chasing Lei Long and others, but they didn't dare to continue moving forward when they reached the dangerous territory.
"Damn it, these people are really desperate." Seeing Lei Long and the others entering the death line, the mercenary team cursed inwardly, but they did not dare to go further.
"Send someone to guard it, I don't believe that they won't come out." The leader of the mercenary team ordered fiercely.
