NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31
Chapter 31 Steppenwolf
“Diversion! Go to the Principality of Blood Moon.” Leo said without hesitation.
Frey and other housekeepers suddenly changed their faces, and even Andrew looked terrified. Because, once Leo left the Viking Duchy, it was equivalent to Leo voluntarily giving up his status as a baron, and those who followed them became wanderers. Except for a few important people who have brought their families with them, most of them have their families still in Gresley. You can imagine the commotion waiting for them to learn their destination.
“Don’t say more, just go to the Principality of Blood Moon. In fact, I was thinking before that if I continued to stay in Viking, apart from shrinking to the Azure Academy, my future development would be greatly affected by Cecil, and it would definitely be difficult. Now that we have reached this point, the road ahead has become a dead end, so we can only survive from death. Moreover, now the Grand Duke Blood Moon is determined to forge ahead and vigorously recruit civilians and nobles from all over the country to make knights with credit. I don’t believe it, I can’t be The Blood Moon Principality will fight for another title.”
Leo finished coldly, thinking for a while, and said: “Except for a few of us, don’t say anything for the time being to prevent someone from leaking the news. Along the way, we removed the family crest and pretended to be a caravan. I hope Cecil. The family doesn’t value me that much and puts their energy on the magic iron ore.”
Frey and others each look complicated. They are naturally unwilling to leave the Viking Principality, where they have lived for many years, and embark on a vast unknown road. But as a vassal family that has followed the Gresch family for generations, Leo can only choose to accept it after Leo makes a decision. Therefore, the extremely loyal Andrew was ordered to run to the forefront of the team, led the convoy around unknowingly, and headed towards the Blood Moon Principality.
It happened to be dark at this moment, and the darkness covered the signs of the convoy changing direction, and the soldiers could not detect the abnormality. When the next morning, the convoy had gone all night, had already left the Grecy collar, and marched in the deserted land.
Leo’s planned route is to go around the wasteland, cover up his tracks, and then disguise as a caravan to enter Viking’s commercial city Angoloma, replenish there, and then enter the wide road built by the Principality, mixing in many caravans. , Arrive at the border city of Viking and Blood Moon, enter the border wilderness from there, cross the dangerous border, and enter the territory of the Principality of Blood Moon. Because it takes a detour, even if there is a carriage, the whole journey will take about half a month.
“My lord, a servant was bitten by a poisonous snake. This is the third one. How long will we have to walk in the wasteland?” Kenner, the deputy housekeeper, hurried over to report.
“Didn’t you bring the ointment to treat poisonous snakes? It’s not the first-level strange animal poisonous snake, why are you panicking?” Leo frowned and looked at the map. I have to walk more than 100 miles in the wasteland, so I don’t even want to get out of the wasteland today.
At this moment, among the nearby weeds, a few black shadows suddenly appeared, and they rushed towards Leo’s convoy. After hearing only a few screams, several servants were thrown to the ground by the shadows, calling for help.
“Damn it, how come there are wasteland wolves here?” Not far away, Andrew roared and rushed towards a few dark shadows. At the same time, he ordered: “The preparation knight protects Lord Baron’s carriage. The others line up and surround the convoy. In the middle. Ordinary steppe wolves are not alien beasts. It’s not difficult to deal with. Don’t panic everyone.”
After all, the eighty-five soldiers belonged to the soldiers trained by the Gresh family for a long time. At this moment, they formed a circle according to the usual training regiment. The shields were connected together, the spears were facing the outside, and the entire convoy was surrounded in the middle. The nine reserve knights guarded near the carriage to prevent steppenwolves from rushing in.
At this time, Andrew had already rushed to the side of the black shadows and stepped down several times. The five steppen wolves were immediately kicked into flight, their tendons were broken, and they couldn’t live anymore.
“Take the bodies of the two of them, go in!” Andrew shouted to the three surviving male servants who supported the wolf’s mouth with his arms, and looked solemnly at the tall grass in the distance. Sure enough, steppen wolves emerged one after another.
This wasteland is not suitable for farming. It is at the junction of the Padin family and the Boggs family, another earl family. It has naturally become a buffer zone on both sides, and no one will come at all. Leo chose to take this road because of its flat terrain and full of weeds as high as one person. It was suitable for hiding. He did not expect that there would be a pack of wasteland wolves.
“Andrew, you come in too, we fight back.” Leo said loudly, Andrew agreed, and the last one entered the army.
“Also, the nine of you don’t need to protect me, as a mobile to help guard the army, where there is crisis, help.” Leo looked at the steppe wolves that only appeared, his face couldn’t help but look hard. Although it is just an ordinary beast, not a strange beast. But even if this world is an ordinary beast, its strength is much stronger. After this battle, I am afraid that the Gresch family’s army will suffer heavy losses.
“Wow!” At this moment, an exceptionally tall Steppenwolf appeared in the distance Looking at Leo’s caravan with a cold gaze, he roared to the sky, and hundreds of Steppenwolves were facing like a tide. Everyone from the Gresch family rushed. Just the moment of contact, three recruits were afraid to hold the knife, revealing their flaws. Fortunately, Leo ordered the nine reserve knights to maneuver and immediately filled the gap and knocked out the several steppe wolves who had rushed into the army.
“Hold on, don’t be stunned! Andrew, pay attention to the wolf king, it seems very difficult!”
Andrew killed five steppe wolves in a row, and at the same time replied loudly: “Master, I understand. It doesn’t know what it ate, it seems to be a first-level alien beast, I will stare at him.”
Leo nodded. At this time, there were a few more screams, a few more soldiers were injured, and the army began to shake, a little shaky. But even so, Leo was very clear-headed, and he never let Shane take action.
From beginning to end, he felt that this steppe wolf attack was a bit weird. Like this large convoy, there are nearly a hundred fully armed soldiers. Even if the wasteland wolves are hungry, they will at least choose to attack at night instead of forcibly during the day. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the steppe wolves are not in a desperate situation for such an obviously tough team, and should not be selected as the target.
Shane also gently grasped Rio’s gloves specially made for him at this moment, looking calm, but his eyes turned very sharply.
The **** confrontation lasted for half an hour.
After all, the Grexi family soldiers are well-trained, with excellent armor and weapons, and have participated in hunting foreign animals many times. Although they are only assisting, they also have some experience. It was really panic and panic at first, but then slowly stabilized, some adapted to the simple attack and bite of Steppenwolves, slowly it was difficult to cause casualties, and instead slaughtered the wolves on a large scale.
