Chapter 156 Escape from pursuit
Chapter 156 Escape from pursuit
After a fierce battle, Raymond was finally defeated by Tasli and decided to evacuate the battlefield. In the end, Raymond fled the battlefield with only five people. At this moment, they were like frightened birds, and any slight disturbance could cause them to flee frantically.
"Sir, it seems that the enemy has been defeated by our troops, and only these few deserters are left." It was dark, and the two sides met each other even though they were dozens of meters apart.
"Long-range shooting, don't engage in close combat." Alpha gave the order without hesitation, even giving up his dignity as a knight.
"Kill." Seeing the enemy drawing his bow and arrow, Raymond knew that he was in great danger, so he had to raise his spear and make a final struggle.
The outcome was set. Raymond and his men were unable to reach Team Alpha and were eventually annihilated. Alpha held the magic spear and smiled.
"Clean up the mess and get ready to go." They just pulled away two war horses. In this battle, Alpha Team only lost one person, and three others were slightly injured. The battle ended successfully.
Alpha and Tasli met up late at night, but they did not stop to rest. Instead, they continued to move forward.
"Raymond, why did you die here? Didn't we agree to accomplish something together?" In the middle of the night, Reese, who had caught up with them, saw Raymond's body and roared loudly.
However, Reese looked at the entire battlefield, as if looking for something.
"Golden Spear?" Reese knew Raymond's weapon. It was a weapon that Raymond had accumulated all his fortune to buy, but it was no longer at the scene.
"Let's chase them. We can't let them leave here. We want to avenge Raymond." Reese roared to the sky in anger.
"But sir, we have lost their trace." The sentry in charge of reconnaissance said helplessly, "If they didn't voluntarily give up the mission, they have been discovered by the enemy."
"Chase them to the west! They are going to Fatalia. This is the fastest route." Reese made the choice angrily.
In the moonlight, Raymond's body looked particularly cold. Reese could not forget the scene when he and Raymond had fought side by side. They had defeated countless enemies together. But now, Raymond had left him.
Grief and regret filled Reese's heart. He knew that all this was caused by his own mistakes. If he had been more vigilant, perhaps Raymond would not have died. Reese kept blaming himself in his heart, eager to make up for his mistakes.
Reiss picked up his sword and chased in the direction the enemy fled. He knew in his heart that even if the enemy escaped, he would definitely retaliate against them, catch up with them and make them pay the price they deserved.
But as time went on, the knights' morale became weaker and weaker. They were all bandits, and fighting madly was fine, but it was not conducive to a long-term battle.
"Lord Reis, our current situation is very bad. Why don't we take a rest first and then pursue them tomorrow! The enemy also needs rest. If we meet them now, they will be well-rested and it will be disadvantageous to us." A knight came over and persuaded.
"That makes sense. But we can't let the enemy escape. In this case, let's rest here for one night and continue the pursuit tomorrow!"
Reese and his friend had established a deep friendship when they were in the same dormitory, but when they both became team leaders, they had conflicts of interest and their relationship was no longer as good as before. For Reese, chasing until midnight was already his best effort. He would not die for a dead man, and the rest was just for show.
"Everyone, set up camp here. We will rest for a night and continue the pursuit tomorrow. Everyone, rest here and be alert." Reis gave the order, and the knights began to rest here.
Alpha and his troops had been walking all day and were very tired. Tasri came leisurely on her warhorse, her eyes fixed on the spear behind Alpha.
"We have been walking for a whole day, we should have gotten rid of the enemy!" asked Tasli.
Alpha did not relax his vigilance, as he knew the enemy could attack at any time. "The Tagula Pass is ahead. I have asked Gulis to lead people to scout. If it is safe, we will set up camp."
Not long after, Gulis came back. "Lord Alpha, the mountain pass ahead is very safe, but the valley inside is very suitable for ambush, so we didn't go too deep."
Alpha knew that the march was difficult and the soldiers were very tired, so he ordered them to find a safe place at the mountain pass and rest for a day.
"Yes, we'll go there right away." Hearing that he could take a break, Gulis also became interested.
Soon, Gulis found a relatively safe place suitable for camping. Alpha ordered the soldiers to set up tents and prepare to rest.
Alpha rubbed his eyes and prepared to take a nap. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. It was Tasri, followed by Athena, but she didn't come in.
"Tasli, you are the second batch of guards, why don't you go to rest?" Alpha asked.
Tasli felt warm in her heart, fortunately Alpha cared about her. She shook her head and said calmly: "Lord Alpha, there was a spy in our team before, is he still there now?" Tasli was worried that someone would stab her in the back again.
Alpha remained noncommittal: "Don't make this public for now. Everyone is safe now and there are no spies." He was worried that his words would shake the morale of the troops.
"By the way, this gun is for you. Your strength is now enough to compete with high-level knights." Alpha said, handing a magic gun to Tasli.
Among the knights with Alpha, Tasri's strength improved the fastest. Tam was not bad either, but Alpha always felt that he lacked some spirituality.
Tasli quickly declined: "Lord Alpha, this gun will be more useful to you."
"Tasli, just take it! I'm not going to go to the battlefield anymore, so there's no use in keeping it." Alpha wasn't quite sure about the power of magic weapons, and he didn't want to die in obscurity. He just wanted to be a cowardly commander now.
As they were talking, the door was pushed open again. Athena exuded a chill, and she walked up to Alpha and said, "Leave him here! This guy is getting more and more scared of death, it would be a waste to give him the money."
Athena made the decision for Tasli without any regard for Alpha's feelings.
"I've saved your life. I'm going to rest now." Athena turned and left.
"Let's go, don't worry about that pervert." Athena said, and then she took Tasli back to rest.
"Darwin, accompany me to inspect it." Alpha was not in charge of the inspection, so he decided to take a look first.
"Joey, Joem, the two kids like you very much! Gus." Alpha looked at the two little sisters eating while hanging on the big bear, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Well, they are my children now. I will never let anything happen to them." Gus also values the two children very much. They are his spiritual sustenance.
"When the monkey comes back, let him teach them some skills, so that you can be safer." The two little sisters are very flexible, just like monkeys. Except for convenience, they move on Gus in other aspects.
"Okay, Lord Alpha." Gus knew that Alpha was doing this for his own good.
"Joey, why do you eat a little but expose a little." Alpha looked at the black lump on Joey's chest, which seemed to be a bone.
"This is what my uncle told me before. As long as there is food, we should share some of it with the God of Earth." Joey didn't understand, but he just did what he was told.
"Food cannot be wasted, no matter whether it tastes good or not. Everything is good when you are hungry." Alpha has found the source, he didn't expect it to be here.
According to normal people's thinking, they would not act as spies to inform the enemy, but what about the other party who has no ability to think at all?
"Okay, Lord Alpha, I understand." Joey followed Alpha's arrangements.
"Listen to your father and have a good rest in the future." Alpha found the source, but did not say it clearly. There was no need.
With the help of Alpha and Gus, Joey and Joum's health problems were solved, and she began to cherish food more. Alpha also provided valuable guidance and suggestions on their practice, helping her better master the energy of fighting spirit.
Eventually, the two sisters became Gus's right-hand men, making up for Gus' weakness in close combat, and the three of them together became nearly invincible...
"Yuli, how is your training going?" The second person Alpha visited was Yuli.
"I can already feel the energy of Dou Qi. Every time I practice, my chest swells and almost explodes." Yuli was a little scared, but did not hesitate at all.
"Show me." Alpha put his hand on Yuli's shoulder, feeling her practice.
"Relax your body, just like normal." Alpha guided gently.
Alpha felt the flow of Yuli's energy, sometimes frowning, sometimes surprised...
Under Alpha's guidance, Yuli gradually mastered the flow of Dou Qi energy and began to feel the changes in her body. Her speed and reaction ability were greatly improved, and she could even resist the attacks of some large beasts.
Yuli is grateful for Alpha's teaching and help, and is full of expectations for her future. She knows that she still has many challenges and difficulties on her cultivation path, but she is willing to face and overcome them.
However, as Yuli's practice deepened, she gradually found that the hatred deep in her heart was slowly emerging. Whenever she thought of the tragic situation in which she was killed, her heart would burn with anger. She vowed to find the murderer and avenge her family.
Alpha saw the changes in Yuli's heart, he knew that Yuli had her own goals and mission. He also understood Yuli's anger and hatred for her enemies, but he also reminded Yuli to stay rational and calm, and not let hatred cloud her mind.
"Yuri, you must live well. This is the greatest revenge on the enemy. You need to practice harder and improve your strength and wisdom. Don't be blinded by hatred. Use your strength and wisdom to solve problems."
Yuli listened carefully to Alpha's words. She knew he was right. She couldn't let hatred become an obstacle to her cultivation. She had to use her own strength to pursue the truth and avenge her family.
Finally, Alpha promised Yuli that after they arrived in the East, he would help her find the murderer and seek justice for the family. This made Yuli suppress her inner hatred and practice harder, hoping that one day she could avenge her family with her own hands.
