Since both sides had reached a temporary consensus, the next step was to discuss the details.
Ma Wen hid in the dark and observed everything coldly.
The military leader was too straightforward. He actually believed the bandits' words.
Senma would never stop his greed even if he lost the duel.
His goal was to obtain the food and weapons in the shelter.
So, what was his purpose in proposing the duel?
Ma Wen frowned. "He wants to test the true strength of these soldiers through the duel."
"Or he might suddenly attack during the duel and catch them off guard."
As expected, when Senma retreated and discussed with the bandits, they kept repeating a secret code.
The mountain bandits definitely had their own code words when they were doing their work.
Although Ma Wen did not understand their code, he was sure that they were up to no good.
Logically speaking, his goal was the same as the bandits'.
But his methods were definitely different from the bandits'. He could bring these people to the White River Valley. This was an advantage that the bandits did not have.
After all, although the Mo 'Regan's Heart could be used to deal with all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, no one expected the Universal Magic Pool to collapse.
This place was more like a piece of juicy meat than a shelter.
It was just that not many people knew about it yet.
They would have to move out of this place sooner or later. The underground environment was too harsh, and it was not good for the elderly and children.
Ma Wen did not make a move because he wanted to see what Senma was up to.
"There are only two possibilities for these bandits to find the Mo 'Regan's Heart so quickly."
"First, there's a traitor in the Mo 'Regan's Heart. But from their expressions, it's unlikely that there's a traitor. Soldiers and bandits are mortal enemies, and the same goes for the soldiers' families. If there really is a traitor, then this traitor's acting skills are too good. "
"Second, I'm afraid that the mysterious force has acted ahead of time."
In Ma Wen's mind, he was more inclined to the second possibility.
After all, his appearance had changed the course of history. Many things had happened earlier.
That mysterious force probably wanted to seize enough resources first so that they would have an advantage when the gods descended.
In Ma Wen's heart, he already had a guess – this force was most likely related to the Heavenly Realm's God Kingdom!
It could be a deity under the command of a deity, or it could be a clone, apostle, chosen, or divine servant controlling the situation from behind the scenes.
After all, the multiverse was so big. Although only the Shadow Prince's Time Slough could freely enter and exit the Universe Magic Pool, there were always some rare objects that could have a similar effect.
Especially since the first two floors of the Devil's Pools had already been destroyed, Ma Wen did not find it strange that someone from the Heaven Realm had snuck down.
He was not afraid.
Those who could descend at this time were at most Divine Servants or Angels. They were at most a little stronger than ordinary Legends. In the eyes of Ma Wen, who had successfully slain a god in both his previous and current lives, they were nothing at all.
If it was an ordinary angel, he would have already transformed into the Azura Violent Bear in the Purson Plane and torn it apart with his bare hands.
However, the real enemy had not yet appeared, and Ma Wen did not want to alert the enemy, so he just watched.
However, at this time, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face!
"Eh? Why, why is he here? "
Ma Wen was slightly stunned. Previously, his attention was focused on the bandits and the civilians behind the soldiers, and he rarely paid attention to the members of this team.
Even with the perception of the Ruler of the Night, he almost ignored the young elf hidden under the military uniform!
He only wore light leather armor and a strange hat, but it could cleverly cover his distinctive ears. Only his face was a little too delicate.
But in the eyes of most people, this was still an ordinary human teenager.
However, Ma Wen recognized this teenager.
When he advanced to Nocturnal in the Forest of Thousand Leaves, he once passed by an elf village in search of the Book of Naru. However, at that time, Black Jack was also there to carry out his Red Road Exiled Mission and massacred the entire village.
This elf teenager was the only survivor because he had secretly followed Ma Wen.
After the incident, Olli sent him to the capital of elves. Ma Wen also gave him a dagger.
At the time, he felt that this very quick-witted teenager might not be able to adapt to life in the capital of elves.
But he did not expect to see him here again.
Judging from his clothes and the way he got along with the others, he had completely integrated into the life of Steel City.
Ma Wen did not know what had happened in the past few months, but the wood elf teenager's increase in strength surprised Ma Wen.
At that time, he did not have any martial strength, but he was now an expert of the third step.
Ma Wen did not know the specific profession, but he should be a ranger, but the aura he exuded made Ma Wen feel a little strange.
It seemed to be some kind of targeted profession.
Ma Wen's mind stirred as he recalled what the Red Road Exiles had done to his family and friends.
"Could it be … that profession?"
This question appeared in Ma Wen's mind.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the first duel began.
The bandits sent out a burly man, while the soldiers of Moregan's Heart discussed for a while and actually sent out the wood elf teenager!
"Interesting."
"It seems that in this squad, this kid is also in charge of scouting."
"And in a squad, only the most elite members can become scouts. I remember that when I checked his talent, it was very poor, which is why he was not selected for the Elven Iron Guard … There is no such thing as power without reason in this world. "
Ma Wen watched with interest as the teenager silently walked out of the ranks.
Thanks to the encouragement of the crowd, he learned his name for the first time.
Ah Mo.
It was a very ordinary name, and it could also be an alias, but it did not matter.
But it seemed that everyone believed in him.
Perhaps here, he could find the feeling of a big family like back in the small village.
… …
The duel soon began.
The two sides created an empty space.
The burly man used an axe that glowed with flames.
This guy was also a standard grade 3 warrior. His axe was very terrifying, and it was at least a magic weapon.
Every time he waved it, flames splashed out. For a rogue, this kind of weapon was very troublesome.
Because this kind of flame attack was traceless, it was very difficult to target and dodge.
Although this kind of attack did not discriminate, the warrior himself did not care.
He was not afraid of this kind of flame at all. Grade 3 warriors definitely had [Immovable Mountain], [Strengthened Stability], and other abilities that could increase their skin and flesh. The attack carried by enchantment would definitely not be a problem.
In this way, before the two sides even started fighting, Ah Mo seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"Kid, die."
The burly man grinned, weighed the axe in his hand, and rushed forward.
Ah Mo did not panic, and began to move.
His footwork was very strange. His absolute speed was not fast, but the frequency of his steps was very fast.
The huge axe was swung continuously in the midst of the warriors' shouts.
Flames splashed everywhere.
Logically speaking, it was inevitable that some of this kind of flame would come into contact with it, which would affect the next battle.
However, a strange scene happened.
Ah Mo's body was like a spirit snake, extremely agile, and he easily dodged every spark.
His eyes were bright, his movements gentle, and every dodge was so nimble.
"The talent of the wood elves is not this strong …"
Ma Wen's eyes lit up.
Although this dodging ability could not be compared to Ma Wen's pure attribute suppression, it was considered very top-notch among non-Legendaries.
Especially in a limited space, Ah Mo's ability was actually restricted.
However, the two sides were in an unusual stalemate.
The warrior's attacks seemed very fierce, but he did not hit Ah Mo at all. Instead, Ah Mo relied on his super strong dodging ability to take the opportunity to sneak attack a few times, almost causing a big threat to the warrior!
His attack method was also very strange.
Unlike common Rogues, Assassins, Scouts, or Rangers, he used a slender rapier.
This kind of sword was very easy to break in actual combat, but in an instant, it could cause fatal damage!
Just now, he stabbed the warrior's heart twice in a row, and actually forced the warrior to continuously retreat.
A trace of surprise flashed in Senma's eyes.
He did not understand how strong Ah Mo was at all.
However, a true expert could see that if there were no accidents, Ah Mo would definitely win this battle.
His axe was very powerful, but he could not even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes. How could he win?
On the other hand, Ah Mo's slender sword was extremely threatening.
Even if the warrior was immune to fatal damage, if the sword pierced through him, he would still be seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Everyone on Mo Ruigen's side was excited.
"Ha!"
Ah Mo easily dodged the warrior's axe with a feint, and the slender sword pierced through fiercely, aiming for the warrior's neck!
If the slender sword pierced through, the warrior would definitely lose!
Everyone's hearts were instantly in their throats.
However, at this moment, the warrior suddenly roared in anger!
A vast wave of divine power exploded from his chest. It was a pendant!
Shocking divine power suddenly exploded from the pendant, and Ah Mo's sword was actually blocked by the divine power.
Clang!
The long sword shattered!
Ah Mo was shocked and angry. His weapon had actually been broken just like that.
Moreover, the warrior's body was covered in a layer of divine power armor that could not be broken at all!
"Go to hell!"
The warrior's eyes were filled with anger, and he swung his axe fiercely.
Ah Mo dodged in a sorry state!
"Enough!"
At this moment, the leader of the military side said coldly, "Stop. We've lost this round. "
He also knew that the opponent had definitely come prepared.
This divine power armor was definitely not ordinary, and Ah Mo would not be able to pierce through it even if he had a few more slender swords.
He was definitely going to lose.
Senma smiled and stopped the soldiers who were about to continue their attacks. She said in a relaxed manner,
She said casually, "Then, next round?"
"Next round."
The leader of the military said calmly.
In the next second, he wanted to walk forward with his right foot.
"Leader!"
Ah Mo's eyes were filled with disbelief.
The leader patted Ah Mo's shoulder and comforted him, "You have done your best. Take a break."
"Let me do the next round!"
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded from the military side.
"Let me do it."
