Dean landed on the other side of the lake. There were several crocodiles wandering on the shore. It seemed that they were out of touch with the mainstream team. Seeing Dean and Jason land on the ground, several crocodiles immediately twisted their spiky tails and crawled over.
Jason spat and took the initiative to greet them.
Dean didn't go up to help but looked around. He noticed some footprints on the ground and the smell of Zaxite was still in the air. Apparently they had escaped to this place.
In less than half a minute, Jason had dealt with four crocodiles. He returned to Dean's side: "Where should we go now?" He didn't notice that he had unconsciously used to consult Dean's opinion.
Dean looked at the watch. The green circles and yellow dots on it didn't move. It seemed that they had given up on chasing them. He was slightly disappointed but didn't show it. He thought for a moment: "Hide the combat system and find Zaxite. They should still be in the vicinity. They don't dare to go far."
"How do you know?"
Dean looked at the fort that was in chaos: "They won't be willing to leave until they see this place collapse."
Jason glanced at it and understood. "We refused to escape earlier. Now that we've found them, what should we say?"
"Can't we regret it?"
Jason was speechless: "But if they are ready to evacuate then do we have to evacuate with them?"
"Listen to who is the leader. We have two abyss members and he is only one. Won't he have to listen to us when the time comes?" Dean glanced at him: "You and I will cooperate well."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
After the two of them finished discussing, they immediately followed the tracks and smells on the ground.
There was no fort on the other side of the lake but there were no monsters either. There was a bare mountain in front of them. It wasn't suitable for the charge of the monsters unless they razed the mountain. But the movement would be huge enough to attract the attention of the imperial border guards.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a whistling sound pierced through the air.
Dean looked to the side, and his face slightly changed. He saw a sharp arrow coming from the God of War's wall. There were several soldiers standing on the edge of the wall. They were holding bows and arrows, and it seemed that they recognized them as deserters.
When the arrow flew before the two of them, its momentum had already dissipated and was easily dodged. However, the guards on the Battlegod Wall didn't shoot anymore. They merely watched coldly. This arrow seemed to be a warning to them.
Jason cursed. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from behind him. He was so frightened that he instinctively looked back.
The tall fortress tilted slightly and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing inwards. Behind the fortress, the silhouettes of a large number of giant beasts appeared. It seemed that the fortress had many holes in it.
Dean frowned. He didn't expect the fortress to be so fragile. However, under the attack of such a large number of monsters, it was no wonder that the fortress was not strong enough. After all, it was a man-made civil engineering. If it were a pioneer, he would be able to make a hole in it with a little bit of time. Meanwhile, the soldiers defending the fortress were all occupied by the four-eyed monsters, and no one could stop the huge monsters from ramming into the fortress. Naturally, the fortress would soon collapse.
Dean retracted his gaze and continued to follow the footprints.
Ten minutes later, Dean and Jason came to the edge of a mountain forest. Suddenly, several figures jumped out of the forest and stopped in front of them. It was Zashi and the others who had defected before. However, the number was obviously reduced by half.
"Why are you here?" Zashi frowned as he saw Dean and Jason. There was a trace of imperceptible doubt in his eyes.
Dean seemed to be relieved: "Finally, we caught up with you. You are smart. If we had run a little later, then we would have been buried there. As you can see, the fortress is about to collapse!"
Zashi looked at him for a moment, and his expression slightly relaxed: "Just the two of you? What about the others?"
"They are all dead." Dean shook his head and sighed.
Zashi wasn't surprised. It was a miracle that they were able to survive after such a long time in the front line of the battlefield. Dean and Jason were lucky enough to survive because of their abyss strength. If there were terrifying monsters in the beginning, then Dean and Jason wouldn't have been able to escape. They could only be considered lucky. He felt lucky for his own foresight: "If you had come with us earlier, then we wouldn't have to take such a risk. We wouldn't have lost too many people."
Dean and Jason looked at each other and sighed. They didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Zaxi Te looked at the two of them and said, "You didn't bring a combat system, did you?"
"Of course not." Dean shook his head: "That thing can locate our position. Jason and I had run halfway when we heard the coach shouting at us to return to our post. Oh!"
Zashi was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed. His eyes were staring at the back of Dean and Jason.
Dean was surprised. He instinctively wanted to turn his head to look, but his reason was one step ahead of him. Jason, who was beside him, had already turned around to look. His expression changed immediately. "Damn it! How did that bastard catch up with us? "
Dean heard his words and knew that Zaxi wasn't blackmailing them. But he didn't look back. Instead, he frowned and looked at Zaxi. Zaxi's eyes were on him and Jason. Zaxi's eyes were filled with anger and killing intent. The others around him didn't hide their anger.
"It's not us." Dean immediately said: "We are not stupid enough to cooperate with these people to catch you. I don't know how he found us."
Jason quickly said: "Yes, we clearly saw him stop at our position when we lost the combat system. How could he catch up with us? Wait, did they use the location where we lost the watch to infer our escape route? Or do they have people with super strong perception? "Jason's face was full of doubt.
Dean couldn't help but admire Jason. Although Jason's reaction was slow, but his acting was not inferior. Moreover, it was more real and natural. Even he might be deceived. He even suspected that Jason was deliberately acting slower to confuse his judgment.
Zaxi Te stared at the two of them, the killing intent in his eyes not diminishing. "We are just temporary troops. In their eyes, we are cannon fodder, dead people. I hope you don't make a mistake and do something stupid!"
"Of course not." Dean sighed.
The instructor and the other two officers had caught up with them. They stopped about 30 meters away from them. The instructor who was standing in the middle had a gloomy face. He saw that Dean, Jason and Zashi were among the escapees. In other words, none of the members of the abyss were fighting in the fortress.
"Why aren't you running?" The instructor asked in a grim voice.
Dean tilted his head and looked at him. He could see Zashi and others from the corner of his vision: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to catch up with us."
"You are going to die but you are still stubborn!" The instructor stared at Dean for a while and suddenly said: "I will give you a chance to catch this kid and then come back with me to confess. I will spare your life. You will only be punished to serve for half a year and be included in the regular barracks. If you are qualified, you will be eligible to be transferred to the regular army or retire and be sent to the empire. "
The others were a little moved as soon as the instructor and the other two officers appeared.
The dominators and pioneers around Zashi were desperate when they saw the instructor and the other two officers appear. The instructor's words undoubtedly injected a ray of hope into them.
