In the time it took to sing a song, the 50-man cavalry squad was completely annihilated. Other than the horses, not a single one of them was left alive. If this squad was handed over to a normal rescue team, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. However, in the face of a Divine Warrior, even though they knew who the enemy was, they could not run as fast as the sheep on their horses. Not only that, the spears that were as powerful as the ballistae made it impossible for them to dodge. Even Baiyi had to throw a few spears at them — those were the ones that Zar'Zar had lent him out of kindness.
"These ants are still so weak." Zar'Zar muttered to himself as he pulled out the spears from the ground. Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, he turned around and waved at Baiyi, shouting, "Hey! Brother Hope! I've won this competition! "
Good, good, good. You win, you win. Of all things, why did you have to compete on killing people faster? Baiyi thought to himself speechlessly as he continued to stroke Mia and Tisdale's back gently. The two of them almost threw up. They had never seen such a bloody and violent scene before.
"I thought you two were already mentally prepared," Baiyi said in a low voice.
"I … I'm fine." Tisdale said with a pale face. She had indeed mentally prepared herself, but watching a living person explode into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air was still a little beyond her mental endurance.
"Ugh …" Mia did not say anything. She looked a little uncomfortable as she squinted her eyes and rubbed her face against Baiyi's chest like a kitten acting coquettishly.
Letting the two girls see blood was also a form of mental toughening. The situation might have been a little too extreme, but both of them had performed well. They were not the pretentious Virgin Mary, which Baiyi was quite satisfied with. Now that they had become his students, they would have to face these kinds of situations in the future. They could not be passionate about killing, but they could not be afraid of it.
On the other hand, the adult males seemed to be uncomfortable. The priest closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath. The Zhang brothers looked uncomfortable too. Only the warrior with the shield who had a lot of combat experience could let out a deep sigh, "They … They're just too scary! Three against fifty and they couldn't even put up a fight … These Divine Warriors exist for war!"
"Thank god they're few in number. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have to learn the barbarian language," Xillians said.
The Divine Warriors were very powerful. Just this short battle was enough to leave an unforgettable memory in their hearts.
By the time Zar 'Zar was done with his spear, he retrieved Cuckoo, the snow eagle that he had released earlier. After reporting the current situation, the rescue team continued to move forward. According to Baiyi's plan, they needed to reach a location that was close to the Steppe King's Court before sunset. That way, it would be more convenient for him to carry out his next step. However, the sudden appearance of the cavalry had brought a little change to his plan. It seemed like they would have to stay a little further away tonight.
"Cuckoo said that they haven't noticed us yet. Should we take this opportunity to kill our way in?" Zar 'Zar was still in a high state of excitement as he asked Baiyi and Huskar.
"They'll notice very soon that we're missing a cavalry unit. Don't worry, we'll rest here tonight," Baiyi took out the map from his pocket and pointed at a location that was about 50 miles away from the Steppe King's Court.
"I don't really understand," Char 'Char scratched his head and asked, "They're very weak. Why don't we just kill our way in?"
"Because we're here to save people, not to kill people," Baiyi explained helplessly. He turned around and looked at the rescue team that was following behind them, "Besides, there's still them. We can't just rush in recklessly."
"Sigh, Brother Hope. Why did you bring them along? Isn't it better to let them wait in Harrogath? "Char 'Char asked again.
"I have other plans," Baiyi replied perfunctorily. Baiyi replied perfunctorily. Actually, the reason why he insisted on bringing them along was very simple. It was not that complicated. Harrogath was much more dangerous than this place. Who knew if a barbarian would kill them with a simple pat on the shoulder?
After convincing Char 'Char, Huskar did not object to Baiyi's decision. Thus, before dusk, the rescue team arrived at Baiyi's designated location. The rescue team hurriedly set up tents and a bonfire, while the three Divine Warriors lay lazily on the ground, admiring the different sky above their heads.
"The sky here is very wide. There are no mountains here so we can see very far." Huskar said as he casually plucked a blade of grass and threw it into his mouth. "The taste of grass is different too. It's really nice to have a chance to go out for a walk. I still want to go to some other places to have a look."
Brother! Please don't! Hurry up and remember your mission to protect Harrogath! If an existence like you really has the idea of going on a trip, I'm afraid you'll cause a lot of tragedies! Baiyi thought to himself. His brain quickly spun as he tried to think of a way to help him get rid of such a terrible idea.
Fortunately, as a Divine Warrior, Huskar still remembered his mission. Shaking his head, he said something that made Baiyi feel at ease, "But my mission is to protect Harrogath. I can't go too far away from it."
Then, he said something that almost made Baiyi vomit blood, "But … Gaga and Char 'Char, you two can go out for a walk and see more of the scenery. When the new Divine Warriors are born, I'll tell the ancestors about it."
I really want to let the ancestors know before you make this decision, so that they can replace you, Huskar, who is full of weird ideas! Baiyi thought to himself. But on second thought, if the two Divine Warriors, Zar 'Zar and Char' Char, could leave the Northern Wasteland and he could find a way to summon them to his side? Then, he could really rely on those two super thugs to bully his neighbors. Now that he thought about it, it was pretty cool!
But then, he quickly shook his head and gave up on that unrealistic fantasy. The Divine Warriors were such terrifying existences. It was better to let them stay in Harrogath and not go around scaring people. That would not be good for anyone.
Just when he was about to say something, Cuckoo suddenly descended from the sky and landed on top of Zar 'Zar's head. Then, the man and the bird looked at each other for a while. Cuckoo shook its head, flicked its tail and flapped its wings lightly.
"Cuckoo said that they found out about the deaths of those people and are sending people to search for them," Zar 'Zar translated Cuckoo's strange bird language.
"Don't worry about that." Baiyi raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's going to be dark soon. They won't dare to search too far in the dark. We can still have a good rest tonight."
Just as he had expected, the Steppe Barbarians did not dare to search too far away. They only carefully searched the land around the King's Court and did not dare to venture any further. Such a conservative way of doing things had allowed the expedition team to have a good night's sleep.
The next day, in front of everyone, Baiyi took out two pieces of Soul Calming Stones and handed one of them to Mia while he stuffed the other one into his stomach. Then, he said to the group, "We'll have to split up later. The Divine Warrior and I will go to rescue Undine while the rest of you will head west for another 20 miles and meet me at this location." He pointed at the map again.
"Although we will not be there, the west side is the territory of the Alpine Barbarians. There are no Steppe Barbarians there so it's still relatively safe. We'll also leave a few goats for you guys so if there's any danger, just run to the foot of the mountain. There's a sentry post of the Alpine Barbarians there so the Steppe Barbarians won't dare to come close," Baiyi added. Looking at the worried faces of the group, he added, "Don't worry. I think the four of us will be able to distract most of the Steppe Barbarians' attention. They won't have the energy to deal with you guys."
"We're not worried about ourselves! We're worried about you, Sir!" Tisdale quickly said.
"What's there to worry about? With the three of them around, I'm much safer than you guys! " Baiyi said confidently. Then, he quickly waved his hand and pretended to be impatient, "Alright alright, let's go. Don't stay here and drag us down."
Tisdale and Mia, who had a worried look on their faces, mounted the goats and left in the direction that Baiyi had instructed. Just as the Fighter and Xillians were about to leave on their goats, Baiyi called out to them again.
"I need all of you to protect Mia and Tisdale. Even if it costs your life, you must protect them!" He said in an extremely domineering tone. It was not a pleading tone but a commanding one. This was the first time that he had left Mia so far away from her. The reason why he had brought all of them along was just for this moment. To be honest, he was a little worried.
"Understood," The Fighter nodded his head, "I won't let any danger come close to her."
"Very well. Remember to remind Mia that if there's any danger, she must always hold the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms." After leaving his last words, Baiyi turned around and mounted the goats, heading towards the Divine Warriors who were already waiting for him in the distance.
"Hammerhead shark plushie? What's the use of that thing? " Xillians was puzzled. He had seen Mia hugging the plushie and rubbing herself against it before. It was a very cute scene but why would she take it out when she's in danger? Is she trying to make the enemy die of its cuteness?
Just like that, Baiyi parted ways with them and continued on his journey towards the Steppe King's Court. Along the way, they encountered quite a number of barbarian scouts but under Baiyi's request, the Divine Warriors did not attack them and let them go.
