Chapter 85 Seeds of Conflict
Chang Hao took Yan Yao and Ling Xingzhuo and other monks who could fly on the sword toward the border. It took three days for this one-way trip to eat or drink.
When Chang Hao followed the induction of the talisman paper to find the place where the incident occurred, the scene in front of him made everyone's eyes burst.
On the vast snow, the bodies of hundreds of wolf cavalry were thrown into the pit. The military uniforms on their bodies were unknown. Each wolf cavalry had a deep bone-observing wound on the neck. Some were so deep that they almost cut off their heads. Only a thin layer of wolf skin was connected. The gorgeous wolf tails they were proud of were cut off. The blood of the wolf cavalry covered the bottom of the pit and frozen into black and red ice crystals.
This is a unilateral massacre, a massacre that is dehumanized.
Not only Chang Hao, everyone couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
The wolf cavalrymen who were on the same dining table with them a few days ago were slaughtered and buried in the snow and ice.
"These brutal executioners! How could they kill them so much?!" Ling Xingzhuo was shocked and angry. The miserable scene in front of him shocked his heart greatly.
There was no one else except those two mercenary groups who could do such a desperate battle against the wolf cavalry. But what Ling Xingzhuo couldn't understand was that these human mercenaries were stumped by Xiong Xin and Leopard, and they dared to openly violate the principle of war between the two countries. Not only did they attack the regular army of the Orc Kingdom, but they even killed prisoners indiscriminately. This was a serious crime!
The monks dug out the corpses of the wolf cavalry that had been frozen from the pit, and while digging, they also scanned them with their spiritual sense, hoping to find the survivors. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. None of the hundreds of corpses had complete bodies, and no survivors were allowed.
A snow pile in the distance moved slightly, and Lu Keke and the others hid there. The three cat girl scouts saw the boss coming and then came out.
"Thank you for your hard work this trip, aren't you hurt?" Chang Hao felt a little guilty, letting them witness this tragedy comparable to hell.
"Boss, don't worry, our sisters are all fine." Lu Keke's face was dim. "When we found this, the Wolf Cavalry Squadron led by Walker had already... In addition, we also found the bodies of other Wolf Cavalry Squadrons in a valley."
"Boss, can we bring the bodies of the Wolf Cavalry back?" Mia said with red eyes: "They shouldn't be thrown away from their hometown just like that."
"Don't worry, Mia, I will take them home, I promise." Chang Hao gently rubbed Mia's head, as if he promised her, and as if he was talking to himself.
After comforting Lu Keke and the others, Chang Hao and others forcibly suppressed their anger and began to investigate the entire scene of the crime.
Toanna often gives everyone a blessing for knowledge. Chang Hao recognized at a glance that the armor-absorbed arrows that shot the wolf cavalry unique to the human empire.
Although the annihilation arrow that can penetrate armor is notorious, it does play an important role in the army of the human empire.
The regular army of the Orc Kingdom is generally composed of strong orcs. Even without the protection of steel armor, they can achieve a certain degree of invulnerability based on the strength of their own body and the gain effects of stone skin given by the priests, so that even without the protection of armor, orc warriors can still kill back and forth in front of the well-equipped human imperial army without the protection of armor.
However, the appearance of the Armor Annihilation Arrow almost fundamentally reversed the situation.
The strong body of orc warriors and the stone skin gain effect of the priests can no longer be "eat all over the sky with one move" on the battlefield. They seem so fragile in front of the Armor Annihilation Arrow, but the military headquarters of the Orc Kingdom cannot think of a countermeasure, so the military headquarters is increasingly eager for armor with excellent performance, hoping to improve the situation.
Chang Hao picked up an armored arrow stained with the blood of wolf cavalry. The complex patterns on the arrow cluster were not only dim, but there were many inconsistencies in the middle of the patterns. Obviously, the expensive armored arrow was a disposable consumable. The human mercenaries were not worried about what these orcs that had not yet been enlightened in their eyes could do.
Judging from the on-site situation, these human mercenaries should have completely defeated the Wolf Cavalry Squadron without losing one soldier. Even if it was a sneak attack, it was enough to show that these human mercenaries were by no means a sloppy, but were indeed a little capable.
Chang Hao put the Armored Arrow into the storage ring. He vowed to let these miscellaneous things know that once they have done something, they will have to pay the price for it.
The deep pit that was thrown away was dug near the river, and the surroundings were in a mess, with footprints and deep ruts of human mercenaries everywhere. The fire extinguishing piles and food discarded on the ground everywhere showed that after brutally killing the wolf cavalry, these executioners even spent the whole night leisurely here!
Chang Hao found Walker's head next to a pile of extinguished firewood.
Even though Walker's body and head were different, his face still had the anger before his death. No matter how he calmed his bloodshot eyes, he could not close his eyes. He died with his eyes closed, and he felt unwilling to accept it.
Chang Hao put all the remains of the wolf cavalry into the storage ring. The expression on his face was colder than that of the wind and snow, but his heart was filled with anger that was hotter than lava.
"Senior brother, why do these human mercenaries strip the Wolf Cavalry's uniform?" Ling Xingzhuo's face looked ugly, "The mercenaries even cut off their tails!"
"Because as long as they stripped off the uniforms of the wolf cavalry, they could argue in the matter afterwards, saying that they didn't know that this was a regular army in the orc kingdom and thought it was just an ordinary militia. This was their usual trick." Chang Hao said expressionlessly: "As for the wolf tail, it is precious fur. Some people in the mercenary group took a fancy to the value of these wolf tails, so they cut off all the tails of the wolf cavalry."
Ling Xingzhuo took several deep breaths to calm down his mood, but he couldn't do it.
"These mercenaries have been away for about three days, but we did not find any trace of them on the way we came. They are likely to have taken a detour."
Yan Yao pointed to a very deep rut on the ground that was interrupted in the wind and snow. "They are very smart. The traces of the ruts have been broken from here and there is no way to track them. Moreover, the wind and snow are so strong that even if you use sword control techniques to detect from a height, your visibility is only a few dozen meters. The Varonian wasteland is so big, and trying to find a sword control technique is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"The only one of the Iron King Champions is the Wolf Cavalry Scout Squadron. If they fall, we can only rely on ourselves in the future." Chang Hao quietly looked at the place where the Wolf Cavalry fell, remembering it deeply in his heart. All the monks saluted in the wind and snow.
They would bring the news back to the Northern Army, and they would greet the inhuman executioners with full anger.
Those complacent human mercenaries do not know that their behavior has planted a seed of conflict in someone's heart.
