After killing the enemy twice, Zhao Hai didn't stop. He turned his horse around and charged towards the enemy. But what surprised Zhao Hai was that after killing the enemy for the second time, the enemy actually ran away. When Zhao Hai turned around, the enemy had already disappeared into the night.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai was stunned. He stopped his horse and turned around to look at the battlefield. There were at least a hundred horses left on the battlefield, but there were nearly two hundred corpses on the ground.
On the other hand, other than a few people who were injured, there weren't any serious casualties. Even those who were injured only had flesh wounds. They would be fine after applying some Jinchuang medicine.
Zhao Hai jumped down from his horse. Captain Feng and the others also came to Zhao Hai's side. There were still some enemies who weren't dead, and they were still groaning.
Captain Feng waved his hand. Liu Yuangong and the others immediately went up to deal the final blow. Those who weren't dead would be dealt a final blow until they were sure that the enemy was completely dead.
This wasn't to say that Liu Yuangong and the others were cruel. One must know that they were deep in the enemy's territory. There was no way for them to be merciful to the enemy. Moreover, they couldn't treat the enemy, it was too dangerous. So the best way was to kill the enemy.
After dealing with the final blow, they cleaned up the spoils of war. The spoils of war were mainly the enemy's horses, some weapons, some dry rations, and water bags.
Their tents couldn't be used, they were all destroyed by the enemy. However, they got a lot of blankets from the enemy's horses. This was one of the most important equipment for the prairie people.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Captain Feng led everyone to retreat. But this time, their speed wasn't very fast. Because Zhao Hai was there, they weren't afraid of being targeted by the enemy.
While walking, Captain Feng looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, do you have any ideas?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, then Liu Yuangong opened his mouth and said, "The people who attacked us this time aren't very strong. Moreover, we've been monitored by the Wolf Hawk Cavalry. If the other party wanted to eliminate us, then they wouldn't have sent these people. This is because they know our identity. Sending these people wouldn't pose any threat to us. Now that they've sent these people, there's only one goal, to make us think that the caravan of Sand Star was robbed, there's no other conspiracy."
Everyone nodded. Another person continued, "This proves that they are indeed plotting something. I now think that Crane Grass is right. This time, the Wolf Spirit Nation must be plotting something big. They might really attack our Blade Spirit Nation."
Captain Feng nodded, then he said, "Then what do you think? Should we continue to move forward?"
When these words came out, everyone turned silent. To be honest, Captain Feng's words were on point. They were now certain that the other party was scheming. However, they didn't have any concrete evidence. If they went back now, then it would be hard to say if the Blade Soul Country would believe them.
Zhao Hai replied, "Captain, I don't think we should retreat right now. But we should immediately report the situation we've encountered. At the same time, we should go deeper into the prairie and figure things out." Zhao Hai nodded.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Captain Feng nodded. Then he turned to a Beast Soul Warrior and said, "Bluebird, immediately send the news back. The Golden Hawk is in the sky during the day. It wouldn't be easy for us to send the news back. Now is the right time."
The Beast Soul Warrior nodded and immediately wrote the news on a small piece of paper. Then he took out a cage from his saddle and took out a blue bird from the cage. Then he rolled up the paper and placed it on the bird's leg. After that, he released the bird.
Throughout the whole process, the person called Blue Bird by Captain Feng had been on the horse, and the horse had been running forward. But when he was writing the report, his hands were as steady as if he was sitting in an office writing documents. This kind of ability was really incredible.
At this point, Zhao Hai understood that the people in the Saber Guard Army were indeed elites. They also had their own unique skills, but he still didn't know what the other people's unique skills were. However, it seems like Captain Feng had a good understanding of these people. Zhao Hai nodded.
After the news was sent out, Captain Feng looked for a place to rest. Then everyone got down from their horses and took their blankets. Then they spread them on the ground and directly fell asleep.
This time, they slept until dawn. Then they got back on their horses and slowly moved towards their destination. This time, it only took them half a day to arrive at the place where Sha Xing's caravan was attacked.
It has been more than ten days since Sha Xing's caravan was attacked. The grass on the prairie grew very fast. At this time, there were no traces of a battle.
However, Zhao Hai still found some blood stains under the grass. Naturally, they didn't find any corpses. Then Zhao Hai communicated with the grass and confirmed the route that Sha Xing's caravan took when they were attacked.
After confirming this, Zhao Hai pointed to a direction and said to Captain Feng, "Captain, it's that direction. They have been gone for eleven days. Should we chase after them?"
Captain Feng nodded and said, "Alright, let's chase after them. Are the Golden Hawks still in the sky?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, the two Golden Hawks haven't left yet."
Captain Feng thought for a moment, then he said, "Let's see if we can successfully rescue them this time. If we can, then we'll plan our next move." Everyone nodded, they understood what Captain Feng meant. If they can really rescue them this time, then it would mean that the other party wanted them to rescue them. Otherwise, with the Wolf Hawk Cavalry monitoring them, it would be impossible for them to rescue them.
Although the Saber Guards were the elites of the Saber Spirit Nation, the Wolf Hawk Cavalry were also the elites of the Wolf Spirit Nation. If they were to fight on foot in the city, then the Wolf Hawk Cavalry wouldn't be a match for the Saber Guards. But if they were to fight on the prairie, then the Saber Guards wouldn't be a match for the Wolf Hawk Cavalry. After all, the people of the Wolf Spirit Nation grew up on horseback.
But this time, they only had forty people with them. Even if the Wolf Hawk Cavalry didn't move, the other tribes in the prairie could send a thousand people and cause them to suffer heavy losses, not to mention the Wolf Hawk Cavalry. If they were to be able to successfully rescue their people in this case, then it would mean that the other party wanted them to rescue their people.
Everyone rode on their horses, and under the guidance of the grass, they followed the trail. After two days, they finally found a camp. This camp was the camp of a small tribe. The entire camp only had about a thousand people, and there were only about two hundred warriors. The ones left behind were the old and the weak.
In fact, in the Wolf Spirit Nation, there weren't a lot of old and weak people. Aside from some children, the old people also had a certain amount of fighting strength. Even the women could fight with weapons. Moreover, the speed of the women in the prairie wasn't any slower than the men.
Moreover, in the prairie, having a soul didn't mean that they didn't have any fighting strength. Even if they were a soul, they would still have a very strong fighting strength. Almost everyone here carried a weapon, and the most common weapon in the prairie was the scimitar.
Zhao Hai and the others found the camp ten li away. Then they retreated and went behind a slope. Then they jumped down from their horses and sat together.
Although the prairie looked very flat, there were still ups and downs. However, these ups and downs weren't very obvious. Only those who were active in the prairie would be able to feel these ups and downs.
Captain Feng looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?"
Liu Yuangong smiled bitterly and said, "Now we can be sure that the Wolf Spirit Nation really did set a trap. Moreover, they used this small tribe as bait. This small tribe doesn't have a lot of fighting strength. If we rescue the people from this small tribe, there won't be any problems. Moreover, I think that the Sand Star Caravan's things are still in this small tribe. This small tribe is meant to be sacrificed."
Everyone nodded. Then Captain Feng said, "Then what do you think we should do next?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Kill, slaughter this tribe as well as Sha Xing. Then we'll see how the Wolf Spirit Country reacts. Captain Feng, you can send a letter back to the family. Tell them to prepare, I think the Wolf Spirit Country will certainly make a big move." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Captain Feng smiled bitterly and said, "But we still don't have any evidence. If we send a letter back at this time, what if the Wolf Spirit Nation doesn't make a move?"
Zhao Hai said, "After we attack this tribe, I think the Wolf Spirit Nation will make a move against us. At that time, we will be in a difficult situation. Our enemies are everywhere in the prairie. We will have to fight with everyone. Moreover, I think that Sand Star Caravan won't be the only spy in the country. As long as we make a big move in the Wolf Spirit Nation, the country will certainly receive the news. When the time comes, we won't be able to hide the Wolf Spirit Nation's actions."
When Captain Feng heard Zhao Hai, his expression changed. Then he looked at everyone and said, "Have you thought about it? If we really do this, then I'm afraid that none of us will be able to go back alive."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are plenty of tribes in the prairie. Moreover, the prairie is very big. We can be bandits for a while. Also, don't forget that there are slaves in the prairie."
Captain Feng stared, then he turned his head to look at everyone. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What do you think about the Crane Grass? Do you want to organize an army in the prairie? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. I remember that the Saber Guard Army has a rule. When we carry out a mission in an enemy country, all the loot will belong to the individual. Everyone, including me, doesn't seem to be very rich. If we can be bandits in the prairie for a while, then we'll be able to make a lot of money when we go back."
Captain Feng and the others stared blankly, to be honest, they had never thought about this before. Although the Saber Guard Army did have such a rule, any loot obtained during an operation in an enemy country would belong to the individual, they didn't need to hand it over. But in the end, they were all soldiers, they never thought about being bandits. In their eyes, they only cared about completing their mission. So when they heard Zhao Hai's words, they were all stunned.
Zhao Hai looked at Captain Feng and said, "Moreover, we're not doing this recklessly. If the Wolf Spirit Country really wants to attack the Saber Spirit Country, then with us behind them, would they still dare to attack the Saber Spirit Country? We're also doing our part for the Saber Spirit Country. "
Captain Feng was silent. To be honest, he was a little tempted. However, he still thought that this was too risky. They only had 40 people, what could 40 people do in the prairie? This was hard to say.
Liu Yuangong and the others also looked at Captain Feng, they were also tempted. Although the Saber Guard Army's treatment was very good, they weren't rich people. Moreover, they lived in Horizontal Blade City. The level of consumption in Horizontal Blade City was very high. Their lives were also very tight. If they can really get a lot of loot from the Wolf Spirit Country, then their lives would be much better. Naturally, in the end, it all depended on Captain Feng's decision.
Captain Feng turned his head to look at the group, he understood what they were thinking. He sighed and said, "You need to think about it carefully. If we really do this, then we'll be in danger. It's hard to say how many of us will be able to make it back alive." Captain Feng nodded.
Everyone didn't say anything, they just looked at Captain Feng. Captain Feng sighed and said, "Alright, then let's go crazy for once. But don't say anything right now. Let's send the news back to our country first. Then we'll act tonight and deal with this small tribe first. Remember, if you see someone who looks like Sha Xing, don't kill him. We'll capture him first and interrogate him to see if he's the real Sha Xing." The group nodded, then they lay down on the grass and quietly looked at Lan Tian. However, their hearts weren't calm at all. This was the first time they did such a crazy thing. Although they had completed missions before, this was the first time they did something like this.
Blue Bird had already sent the news back. Now, everyone was waiting for the night's action. Zhao Hai's heart was also not calm. The reason why he suggested to Captain Feng that they should loot the Prairie for a while was for the sake of the Saber Spirit Country. But if he did this, then Captain Feng and the others would be in danger. However, he had no other choice.
Although Zhao Hai wasn't completely a citizen of the Saber Spirit Country, he was still born in the country. His family and everyone who was related to him were all in the country. He didn't want the country to have a big war. This time, the Wolf Spirit Country's operation was obviously planned for a long time. Even if they sent the news back to the Blade Spirit Country, they didn't know if the Blade Spirit Country could prepare in a short time. Therefore, the Blade Spirit Country needed a force to restrain the Wolf Spirit Country on the prairie.
