Although it is possible to take a detour, for Rhett's team, crossing the steep peak in front of them is the shortest route to the nearest bloody river. If they take a detour, it will take more than half an hour.
For Rhett, a veteran of more than ten years and familiar with the route, climbing a slope is a common thing. With his rich experience, he quickly found a mountain path that seemed steep but was actually very suitable for them to pass.
Rhett was at the front of the team, gently clenching his claws and stretching them downwards, a gesture that signified climbing.
With wind elements surrounding his feet, he stepped on hard rocks and moved forward. When he encountered terrain that was difficult to climb, Rhett would directly condense earth elements to fill in the depressions or create drum stones for easy leverage to artificially solve the problem.
Ten minutes later, the team of a hundred people took advantage of the night to cross the Helian Peak and arrived at another wetland.
The soil on the ground was wet and sticky, and footprints would always be left behind when the team stepped on it. However, there were many magicians in Rhett's 100-man detachment. Although Rhett was commanding at the front, there were four magicians in the back to complete the task, and they could easily clean up the traces of footprints left by the passing.
As the night deepened, cold winds blew all around. The group trekked for three hours, crossed the bloody river, and passed through many terrains. Following Ambiru's instructions, Rhett finally arrived at a battlefield behind enemy lines.
This battlefield behind enemy lines is not the orcs' base camp, otherwise with their limited strength, daring to get close would be tantamount to seeking death.
But when the commander-in-chief is fighting with the orcs on the front battlefield, there will always be orc squads carrying out missions in the rear of the battlefield or in other locations.
The purpose of Rhett's trip was to attack this group of orcs with royal blood based on the intelligence obtained by Commander Amburu from scouts or other channels.
They were approaching Crow Peak. The Crow Peak in front of them was pitch black and looked eerie, like a terrifying devil with bared fangs and claws. In addition to the strange shapes of the rocks on the mountain itself, it was also because the rocks were pitch black. Even in the daytime, even if there was only a little white fog around it, it would still feel shadowy.
But Rhett had no information about Crow Peak, and the terrain there was complicated. Rhett would not approach it rashly, but chose to take the team around it.
Half an hour later.
In a clearing in the woods, there was a bonfire burning brightly. The flames shone wildly, reflecting the shadows of the ferocious beasts surrounding it.
The air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.
There are about three hundred orcs in this group, including more than forty of royal blood. Under normal circumstances, it would be an absolutely difficult lineup for Rhett and his crew to challenge.
But according to the information given by Ambiru, Rhett had already learned in advance that this group of orcs had experienced a brutal battle not long ago, with many casualties, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced at this time.
Standing outside the forest, recalling the note Ambiru gave him, which contained information about this group of orcs, Leiter thought silently:
"Except for the twenty-three Blood Moon Werewolves and Phantom Vipers, the remaining Night Owls, Wild Boars, and Minotaur are roughly the same number."
With an idea in mind, Rhett turned around, stretched out his hands, made an O and a six, and then bent one hand into a slightly curved claw shape.
These three gestures represent the three types of orcs: quilboar, tauren and night cats.
Then, he changed the positions of his hands and gestured out the internal code, roughly the number of one hundred.
Then, he clenched his hands into claws, and transformed them into a gesture similar to the Chinese one-handed "seven", which meant the phantom serpent man, and the two-handed claws just now meant the blood moon werewolf.
At this point, the soldiers in the rear saw Rhett's changing gestures, their expressions were startled, and their hearts sank.
Three hundred orcs and more than forty royal bloodlines? This number is too much, right? With their forces, this is definitely a battle that cannot be won! But then, Rhett's hands fell down like flowers.
This gesture means serious injury! And it is a very serious one.
Suddenly, the soldiers' eyes lit up! They knew that Commander Ambiru would not send them to die in vain. It turned out that there was a disabled army waiting for them to deal with. So their hearts were active and their morale instantly became strong! Finally, Lei Te opened his arms, bent his wrists, and gently pushed forward! This tactic represents a semi-encirclement advance! The soldiers in the rear, under the moonlight, looked down from the sky like small black ants and began to disperse to the left and right wings. The whole team gradually formed a slightly concave arc and surrounded the jungle.
In order to verify whether the next action would be foolproof, Leiter also conducted a [real simulation].
When the ripples in front of him slowly dissipated, ending the simulation, Rhett curled his lips into a sneer.
rustle

The team moved through the forest, and in pursuit of speed, the sounds of swaying branches, bushes, flowers and plants were everywhere.
The orcs were not deaf or blind, and Rhett did not think that with their hundred people, he could approach stealthily and quietly.
Since he would alert the enemy anyway, he started in pursuit at full speed to improve efficiency.
The other side is just a group of wounded soldiers. Even if they run away, how fast can they run?
When a faint fire appeared ahead and the trees gradually became sparse, Rhett realized that the orcs ahead seemed to have discovered their whereabouts and were in obvious panic and commotion.
"Gulu Dazkafeiwu..."
A very strange sound came from the firelight in front.
Rhett knew that this was Orcish. He had survived on the battlefield for more than ten years. Although he was not proficient in Orcish, he could still understand the meaning of some simple sentences.
It can be heard that what the other party said just now was: "The human army is coming, Blood Moon and Phantom Poison run first!"
The other party's reaction was completely within Rhett's expectations, but he had already prepared a countermeasure for this situation.
So he immediately arranged the tactics and shouted: "Archers, get ready, attack the wild boars and minotaurs.
The rest of the knights will cross from both wings, leaving one team to stop the orcs' front line from attacking the archers and magicians! I will implement the decapitation tactic!"
Rhett spoke very quickly, and while arranging the tactics, he rushed forward without hesitation.
When he and the vanguard broke into the clearing in the forest, he happened to see a row of orcs with missing limbs in front of them, rushing towards them with determined looks.
The ground was pounding with the hooves of cows and pigs, and the quiet forest began to become noisy! Quicksand Technique
Earth Thrust
Rhett began to take countermeasures. He concentrated his mental strength and a quicksand area of dozens of meters covered the front.
All the orcs who wanted to charge were like being stuck in a quagmire, with their legs tied up, unable to move! The ground thrust that followed easily opened the back door for these defeated soldiers.
It pierced through two bloody holes above and below, killing him with one blow.
In an instant, more than 20 orcs were killed! The advantages of the earth magician were fully demonstrated on the battlefield at this moment!
Screams rang out one after another.
As the orc in front fell to the ground, there were no orcs to block Rhett's way for a while.
Today, Rhett has already reached the peak level of fourth-level magician. With a stream of green light under his feet, his body lightly accelerated forward.
But before they had caught up with him for less than 20 meters, a dozen more Night Owls came over from other places to support them, and pounced on Rhett's face with their fangs and claws bared, trying to block his way.
Night owls are fast and agile, with jet-black fur and natural dark elements attached to them. When they move in the dark, there is almost no detectable trace to the naked eye. They can be said to be natural assassins.
Lei Te looked indifferent, and chose the most effective way to deal with the Night Owls - he cast a Sand Wolf Roar! The earth element in the air gathered crazily, and three huge sand wolves appeared in the sky, with a yellowish earthy glow on their bodies. They suddenly fell from the tree and pounced on the three third-level Night Owls first.
The three sand wolves bared their teeth and instantly tore the bodies of the three night owls into pieces with their sharp claws - the night owls were good at stealth and speed, but their physical fitness was relatively poor, so the sand wolves could almost kill one with one claw.
Pieces of flesh and blood scattered like bloody rain, falling beautifully on the surrounding orcs, causing a riot.
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, Rhett heard this cry and his pupils shrank suddenly.
To him, this voice was very familiar - this was the state that the Blood Moon Werewolf was in when it was in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
If you don't listen carefully, the sound you make is not much different from an ordinary howl. But Leiter has heard it many times in the past, and he can still easily distinguish it! If it were in the past, he would not be sure of winning against the Blood Moon Werewolf in its prime.
But at this moment, he was full of confidence! Lei Te raised a cold smile and controlled three sand wolves to pounce on the royal bloodline that had returned from behind the orcs.
"Gulu Saki..."
It was another strange orc language. Rhett actually found it difficult to explain its grammar, but it was just like learning English in his previous life. Even if he couldn't get high scores or write an essay, he could still understand the meaning of a paragraph when he saw it.
He could tell that these royal bloodlines seemed to be planning to give up escaping and come back to fight to the death! This was exactly what he wanted!
In fact, this group of royal bloodlines that had returned, more than twenty Blood Moon Werewolves and Phantom Serpent Men, saw the appearance of the fourth-level magician Rhett and chased them almost unhindered, and they knew that they had no hope of escape.
They turned around and burst out with their last will to survive, trying to fight to the death and survive in the desperate situation.
at this time.
The fourth-order Blood Moon Werewolf that was charging towards him fell into a bloodthirsty state and roared wildly, but one of its eyeballs was blown out, and one of its wolf paws that it relied on to gallop on the battlefield was also broken.
The bloody body, coupled with the original red hair, actually exuded a hint of ominous aura.
Although he was emitting a bloody halo and looked like a madman, the vitality of this fourth-level blood moon werewolf was as shaky as a candle flame, and the combat power that could be enhanced by his bloodlust was already quite limited.
As for the remaining orcs, they were not in much better condition. Some were missing limbs, some were blind or had an ear damaged. They were entangled with the army coming from Rhett's rear, playing a song of blood and fire in the night.
In this situation, the only high-end combat forces are Rhett and the two enemy royal bloodlines.
Therefore, the outcome of high-end combat power will largely affect the final result of this wave of small-scale battles! When Lei Te was fighting with the fourth-level blood moon werewolf, he used three sand wolves to entangle the opponent and was not in a hurry to kill him immediately.
Instead, he cast a rockfall spell, blocking the retreat of the fourth-level phantom venomous snake man who was hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The loud roar stirred up dust all over the sky.
hiss hiss
The Phantom Snake Man was terrified and fled from the range of the falling rocks and rushed out from the bushes.
It has a snake crown on its head that seems to be that of a king cobra, and a pair of triangular green stone eyes that gleam with an eerie luster in the dark. It has no hair on its body, but instead has snake scales with black, gray and yellow spots. It walks by swinging its huge tail from side to side.
It glanced in the direction of the Blood Moon Werewolf, and a sinister look flashed in its eyes, but the scene that happened next made him terrified.
The three sand wolves formed a three-legged tripod and rushed towards the Blood Moon Werewolf that Rhett had carefully designed and surrounded in the center. Suddenly, with a bang, three explosions sounded at the same time. The earth element, which was always known for its heaviness, also burst out with amazing power in an instant.
Three Sand Wolves dissipated in the explosion.
But at the same time, the Blood Moon Werewolf, whose movements were restricted, could not escape the range of the self-detonation at all. It howled unwillingly and disappeared in the explosion.
The red hair all over his body turned charcoal black, and it was obvious that he could not spend his old age in peace.
The only remaining fourth-level phantom snakeman's eyes were almost popping out. He originally wanted to let the Blood Moon Werewolf restrain him head-on while he looked for an opportunity to poison him.
Even though it was seriously injured, the effect of the snake venom in its body was not affected at all. As long as the plan succeeded, they could turn defeat into victory this time! But at this moment, the death of the Blood Moon Werewolf undoubtedly meant that their plan was declared bankrupt.
So, this fourth-level phantom venomous snake man turned around and ran without any hesitation.
The earth magician has a huge advantage in dealing with land creatures on the battlefield, and it judges based on its rich experience that the person in front of it is definitely at the peak of the fourth-level magician, and it is definitely not someone it can fight head-on at this moment.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Lei Te's eyes, and he was not surprised at all to see the other party escape.
He was not even in a hurry. He turned around and fired a few thrusts, clearing out most of the third-level orcs, making it easier for his subordinates to deal with the remaining orcs.
Then he chased in the direction of the fourth-level phantom venomous snake man.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say something behind him: "Safety first, but try to leave me some alive, as long as they are not dead, I can do whatever I want to them!"
In fact, Rhett's running speed is not as fast as that of the Phantom Viper Man, but Rhett can cast spells from behind to interfere and affect the opponent's speed.
Canyon Relativity, the enemy's slowdown is equal to my speedup. Yeah, no problem.
Half an hour later, the man and the beast chased each other for ten kilometers.
Rhett's heart was as calm as water, because under his conscious blockade, the enemy's escape route had been slightly guided by him.
