Northern Wilderness.
In a desolate and barren gravel area, an adventurer team was slowly moving forward. This team was a standard five-man team. There was an armored Warrior, a Rogue, a Ranger Archer, a Dwarf Defender, and an experienced captain.
In fact, the best adventurer team also needed spellcasters, wizards, or warlocks, but spellcasters rarely joined this kind of team unless they were looking for something. Of course, this kind of situation usually meant that things would be very troublesome.
"Boss!"
"We've already walked so far. Should we take a break first?" The armored warrior in the team said as he stretched his shoulders. As a warrior, he was wearing a mail armor and an inlaid iron scale armor, plus some other things and weapons. It could be said that he carried the most weight. Even if the warrior's physical fitness was good, he still felt tired.
The middle-aged man in the lead stopped and looked around at the sky, then looked at the other team members, and then said, "Well, let's go ahead and rest for a while."
As a qualified leader of an adventurer team, there were many things that he had to pay attention to. Although he wasn't the strongest in the team, he was definitely the most experienced. When going on an adventure, he had to take everyone's stamina consumption into consideration. The best situation was to have enough stamina whenever they encountered an enemy.
After coming to a few big trees, Captain Karen ordered the rogue, "Ben, go around and check the surroundings. Report back immediately if you find anything. The others should take the time to rest."
"Understood!" The Rogue nodded, then leaped lightly and quickly scouted the surroundings. This adventurer team set off from North Town City. North Town City had now become the main foothold for many adventurer teams when entering the northern wilderness.
Although the northern wilderness was desolate and cold with a harsh environment, it still produced a lot of good things. Adventurer teams often returned from here with a full load, but there were also many adventurer teams that never came back.
About a quarter of an hour later, a sharp whistle sounded, and several people who were resting under a tree immediately stood up. The captain in the lead said in a deep voice, "There's a situation! Everyone, follow me! "
A small team quickly rushed in the direction of the sound. These people were very experienced. Even if they were moving quickly, they still squatted and used the surrounding grass as cover. As an adventurer team, they lived a life of danger. Once they discovered a situation, they would immediately send out a signal.
"Stay hidden!" a Ranger suddenly said as if he had noticed something.
The team that was moving forward immediately crouched on the ground and hid their bodies completely. Then, they carefully looked around.
"What did you find?" The captain asked in a low voice.
"Look at the sky!" The ranger pointed to the sky, which was clear and boundless. Karen looked for a while but didn't see anything. Just as she was about to ask, her eyes suddenly swept over a black spot.
The black dot quickly grew bigger, and a Wyvern appeared in the sky. On the Wyvern's back was a green-skinned figure. It was a Beastman.
"It's the orc air cavalry!" Karen's eyes narrowed. "Be careful and hide, don't let them discover you." After clearly seeing the appearance of the black dot, Captain Karen was shocked and hurriedly had the others hide.
After everyone hid in the bushes, the Two-Legged Flying Dragon quickly flew over them, but it didn't discover the people hiding here.
After seeing the Two-Legged Flying Dragon leave, the four people breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully moved in the direction of the Rogue's signal. Soon, they found the figure of the Rogue not far ahead. At this time, he was wearing a khaki cloak, a straw hat, and a lot of straw on his body. This outfit looked very professional at first glance.
After seeing everyone, he crouched on the ground and gestured to everyone, while the others carefully crept over.
"What did you find?" Everyone imitated the appearance of the Rogue, put on a simple disguise, and then asked carefully.
"Look there!"
"Hiss!"
"This is …"
After seeing the situation in front of them clearly, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They saw that under the mound in the distance, along with the rise and fall of the earth, an army was continuously advancing. This army was a little strange. There were Orcs, Gnolls, and Trolls. The huge army was slowly approaching from afar. The army was winding and winding, and it was at least a dozen miles long. It looked like a winding dragon.
"This is the orc army?" The dwarf next to him asked in a low voice.
At the front of the army, there were some wolf riders. As a mobile troop class among the orcs, there were still a lot of wolf riders. Following closely behind were some tall gnolls. Unlike ordinary gnolls, these gnolls were high-level gnolls. They were powerful, bloody, and brutal. In the rear of the army, the trolls were slowly moving forward in armor.
"Why do I think it looks like an alliance of several races? Such a long army, there are at least tens of thousands of people. "A person next to him whispered.
"More than tens of thousands, at least 30,000 people. What are these gnolls, orcs, and trolls forming an alliance for?" The Rogue said.
The middle-aged captain rubbed his chin and then said, "Which enemy in the wilderness is worthy of their attention? Let them join forces."
"Northern Town City!" Everyone looked at each other and replied in unison.
"Immediately send this information back to Northern Town City. Let's go. As long as we successfully send it back, according to the Lord's generosity, we will be rich this time!" At this moment, everyone in the team immediately reached an agreement. After the evil creature incident last time, Suhlen issued a large number of wilderness intelligence-gathering missions. He wanted to use the strength of these adventurers to gather information.
As soon as the voice fell, the Rogue in front said in a serious voice, "The situation is not good. The wolf riders are coming. Their dog nose is very sensitive."
The ground shook, and then a large number of wolf riders began to disperse and investigate the area around the team. These wolf riders moved quickly, and their mounts had a sensitive sense of smell. They wore simple leather armor and wielded cane scimitars in their hands. Their strength was not bad, and they were qualified scouts.
"Not good! We are now on the path of the wolf riders. If we don't leave, they will find us. "The Rogue said.
"Retreat, retreat now!" The captain did not hesitate and immediately made a decision.
"Woo woo woo!"
A wolf's howl sounded in the wilderness.
Everyone no longer hesitated and immediately retreated. The wolf riders moved very fast in the wilderness. If they did not retreat now, they would not have a chance. The wolf riders could easily catch up with them.
The group quickly retreated. After retreating a little, they did not care about continuing to hide their bodies and accelerated in the direction they came from. The wolf riders were very fast. It did not take long for them to reach the place where everyone was hiding.
"Woo woo!"
A Warg sniffed around and howled in the direction where the few of them had escaped.
"There is the smell of humans!"
"Chase them, we can't let them escape!"
"Kill them all!" Several orcs immediately reacted, their faces showing ferocious expressions.
"Woo woo woo!"
With a howl, the wolf riders no longer hesitated and began to quickly chase in the direction of the smell. A team of wolf riders chased behind, and another pair of wolf riders flanked them.
The adventurer team was running at full speed. The Rogue took out a magic scroll and directly tore it open without hesitation. A wave of elemental energy was released from the scroll.
"Group Haste!"
A pale green light enveloped everyone, and wind elemental energy surrounded everyone. Everyone who was running felt their bodies become lighter, and their speed instantly doubled. The group quickly ran in the direction of the northern city. These magic scrolls were sold by Hathaway's alchemy shop in the northern city.
It sold rune scrolls, magic potions, enchanted weapons, and many other types of items. It also bought all kinds of enchanted items in large quantities. Many adventurer teams would spend a sum of Kinnar here to buy life-saving items or potions. Very recently, the adventurer team in front of them had bought one.
Group Haste lasted for an hour. After using it, it could greatly increase one's speed. With the effect of this scroll, the wolf riders would not be able to catch up to them for an hour.
When the wolf riders saw the humans suddenly accelerate, they immediately had their mounts chase after them. However, compared to horses, mount wolves had much less stamina and couldn't charge long distances. Although the wolf riders kept chasing, the humans' silhouettes were still getting farther and farther away.
But at this time, two wyvern riders suddenly rose from the rear of the orc army. As the orc tribe's only flying combat unit, wyverns were few in number. Moreover, it was difficult to tame them. Under normal circumstances, the orcs wouldn't dispatch such an army. It was clear that after seeing the humans about to escape, the orcs finally couldn't hold back.
The two Aerial Knights quickly flew past, their huge wings constantly flapping. Although the humans were very fast after using Haste, the distance between them was quickly shrinking under the pursuit of the Aerial Knights.
"We're in trouble, it's the Aerial Knights. With our current speed, we can't escape!" the captain said anxiously as he looked back at the approaching silhouettes in the sky.
"Split up and escape. There are only two of them. The five of us will split up and run. If one escapes, one escapes. After escaping, immediately return to the city and warn the lord. If the others die, quickly distribute the rewards to the deceased's relatives and friends. Please!"
"Understood!"
"Agreed!"
"That's good. Everyone, I wish you good luck. Run for your lives!" After saying that, everyone immediately scattered and fled.
