A loud shout was heard behind them, and then these people continued to run at a big stride. Perhaps because a high-level magical beast had just died, the rest of the journey was very peaceful and no other accidents occurred.

After all, weaker monsters would not dare to appear around a high-level monster. In other words, those who wander around a high-level monster will inevitably die, unless it is full.

As they moved forward, the sky darkened, low dark clouds drifted over the forest in the west, and finally the sky became dark. It was unclear whether it was the shadow of the dark clouds or the night was approaching.

In short, when they jumped across a rift and ran for several hours, they came to the edge of a forest again. The sky was clear, the dark clouds may have drifted away long ago, and the stars were still shining.

Summer is at its peak now. The wild beasts and monsters in the forest are all quite active, plants are flourishing and in full bloom, and all kinds of strange smells are wafting through the woods.

"This is the smell of the urine of a wind-fanged porcupine. It contains a light wind element and can drift far away. If it is a mid-level wind-fanged porcupine, it can even urinate out the essence of the wind element. But the smell is very light and not pure. It is just a low-level wind-fanged porcupine. But the smell has spread for such a long time and the range is not small. There must be dozens of them around. It may be a small tribe!"

Mida stood one meter behind Rhett, scanning the surroundings with his nose twitching, and finally spoke slowly in an extremely respectful voice.

Leiter turned his head and said in surprise: "The wind-fanged porcupine has never appeared in the southwest border. How do you know so much about it?"

"My grandfather once lived in the villages around the Thunder Bear branch, but because it was too dangerous, he moved to the southwest border. However, there are some books left at home that record the situation here, so I naturally know something about it." Mida said modestly. Although he was much older than Marquis Rhett in front of him, he did not dare to overstep the mark.

"That's right, then you lead the team to kill these porcupines and use them as food for tonight." Lei Te nodded and ordered.

Mida was shocked and said, "Understood. I will lead the team to search and arrest and try to complete the task assigned by Commander Leiter!"

"Trevor, Lady, and you..., follow me and try to find these wind-fanged porcupines before dawn!" Milan said a few words to the teams behind him, and then made a brief arrangement of the hunting plan in front of Rhett, and then took the lead into the jungle.

At this moment, Dick, who had been sitting obediently behind Tucker's Mog all the way, yawned, tugged at the corner of Rhett's clothes, and whispered, "Grandpa, I'm sleepy..."

"Well, if you feel sleepy, go to sleep next to White Hat." Rhett glanced at Dick. Tonight, he had to prepare a batch of food, so it was not suitable for Dick to harvest monsters. Therefore, the group of wind-fanged porcupines just now was not given to Dick. But starting from tomorrow, his hunting plan will officially begin!

"I want to sleep in the bed," Dick said sheepishly.

"Well... no problem." Rhett thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and agreed to his grandson's request. After all, Dick was still young and his physique was not as good as that of a superhuman, so the necessary protective measures should still be in place.

As for the knights behind him, they turned a blind eye to it. They all knew that this was Leiter's grandson, so they dared not criticize him. Moreover, Leiter had already explained that after the Thunder Bear Branch Hunting Operation was over, the White Hat would take him away.

After condensing a stone bed for Dick, Leiter turned around, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down. You have all been busy in the past month."

"It's not hard. The pre-war training planned by Commander Rhett is really thoughtful." A loud voice sounded.

"That's right, when do we start training?" someone else immediately took over the conversation.

The two men, one was Gary and the other was Roy, shouting in the crowd.

Lei Te glanced at the two of them, shook his head and said, "Forget about it tonight. Let's have a good rest for the night. Starting tomorrow, our training will officially begin!"

"Commander Leiter is wise!"

"Captain Leiter is generous!"

…

As he heard waves of praise, Rhett kept smiling, but turned around and sat on the stone pier that he had just condensed when he was condensing the stone bed for Dick.

Then, he closed his eyes and started a text simulation, mainly to verify whether there would be any accidents during this hunt.

Soon, a screen of light appeared before his eyes.

Leiter read the contents and gradually understood clearly in his mind that this hunt was not troublesome. Although some knights were injured and even a few died, they were all reasonable casualties. As for the next actions, he could try to avoid them according to the contents of the simulation, so he did not take it too seriously.

The last two months of this simulation contained new content, which mentioned that the battlefield was briefly peaceful and the orcs' offensive retreated slightly, but Rhett still smelled something unusual because the number of human extraordinary corpses was still decreasing.

The powerful men from the Holy Land in the military camp also disappeared all of a sudden, including the orcs. This made Rhett feel a little weird. Rhett always felt that the disappearance of these corpses was related to the Blood God. At least he thought his guess was right.

"It's really haunting..."

The next day, early in the morning, Mida came back with dozens of people, and almost everyone of them was dragging a fat and strong wind-toothed porcupine in their hands.

Some of them had minor injuries, but most were almost unscathed. It would be easier for a group of knights to deal with low-level monsters without intelligence! After waiting for these people to remove the thorns and skin, deal with the corpses, cut into pieces of meat, and then use the cold wind blown by the wind magician to dry them into jerky, Lei Te followed the plan he had prepared in advance and issued an order: "The first stage of training will start now. I will divide you into two teams, one is the main battle team, and the other is the scouts."

"The main battle team will eliminate all enemies you encounter, but try to leave as many as possible alive and throw them back as prisoners. The scouts' duty is tentatively to bring these dying monsters back to the camp.

But remember, do not set foot in the deep area. Just treat the boundary between the outer area and the deep area as the center line of the battlefield. No one is allowed to cross it without my order!"

Those scouts were basically wind knights, who were more agile. After a rustling sound, they all disappeared from the camp and went into the jungle.

Lei Te looked at the green ahead, his eyes flickering. His main purpose of coming to the Thunder Bear Branch before reaching the cold current defense line was to harvest destiny points. As for the team's ability to fight against orcs, it actually did not play a very outstanding role. But enhancing teamwork ability would be effective no matter what kind of enemy he was fighting.

Thinking back to when he broke through to the bottleneck of the Grand Mage, even though his spiritual power talent was already excellent, he still consumed three or four thousand Fate Points to successfully break through. It is estimated that the next breakthrough, from level seven to level eight, will require at least six thousand to start, and he has not yet started to try to break through, so he cannot be sure of the specific value.

"However, before accumulating enough destiny points to break through to the Holy Land, you need to restrain yourself a little and not rush to break through."

"After all, my growth rate in recent years has been a bit too fast, which is somewhat inconsistent with the current era. But fortunately, there are still some people in history who are no less capable than me, so the outside world can still accept it."

"But when you reach the Grand Mage stage, it should be a stage where the breakthrough becomes more difficult and takes twice as long. If you remain the same as before, it will easily attract attention and arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives."

"For me, it's still too dangerous without the strength of the Holy Domain. Anyway, with my combat power of mastering the three mysteries, it's hard to meet anyone who poses an absolute threat to me in the high-level field. Only the Holy Domain can easily suppress me. Therefore, as long as I don't break through the Holy Domain, the benefits of the breakthrough are not very obvious. On the contrary, it can generate excessive risks that don't match it..."

Thoughts flashed through Lei Te's mind one after another, and he finally made a decision - he had to accumulate enough destiny points to allow him to break through the Holy Domain in one go. In this way, even if some people in the outside world were shocked and puzzled at that time, what would happen? He believed that by relying on the power of simulation and mystery, he would be the best among them if he entered the Holy Domain. He had enough strength to break all doubts! By then, standing on the top of the continent, he could even make up all kinds of reasons to perfunctorily get by, such as the Son of the World, the Son of the Future, and so on. Although... it sounds a bit ridiculous, but it would not seem so outrageous when it appeared on a Holy Domain...

Putting his thoughts aside, Rhett, along with Tucker, Taylors and others, also went into the jungle in front of them and began to provide support operations everywhere.

In this way, a boring and peaceful month passed quickly.

With Lei Te's secret assistance, the team he led had almost no serious casualties, and those injuries that did not cause disability were all considered minor injuries in Lei Te's eyes, and could be cured by light magicians. Besides, they were about to go to the battlefield, so bleeding and getting injured were definitely beneficial and harmless.

In terms of battle results, this month, the army killed thousands of magical beasts, most of which were low-level magical beasts. On average, each person only killed a few every day.

However, not all of the monsters could be harvested by Dick in time. In fact, a small half of the monsters either died on the spot or died from serious injuries on the way back, and there was no time to convert them into destiny value.

In short, this wave provided Lei Te with more than 4,000 destiny points. Although it was a little far from Lei Te's previous expectation of 6,000, it was acceptable.

He glanced at Dick who was sleeping on the bed. The little guy was lying on his back with snot bubbles coming out of his nose and even snoring. He was exhausted from helping Rhett harvest destiny points these days. Fortunately, it was finally over, and the White Hat could take Dick back to Dark Eagle City.

rustle

There came a sound of branches shaking in the jungle in front of me, accompanied by a burst of rapid footsteps and the hissing sound of heavy objects being dragged on the ground.

Soon, a team of more than 20 people emerged from the forest. Roy was the leader. He looked exhausted, and the armor on his left shoulder was broken and most of it had fallen off, revealing his bloody arm. In the team behind him, there were several people carrying first-level monsters such as fire-maned dogs and wind wolves, as well as a huge third-level blood-hoofed wild boar - also a corpse, which was held by Mida's tusks and dragged on the ground, leaving long drag marks.

"Phew, I'm sorry, Commander Rhett, we're late. On the way back, we encountered a bloody-hoofed wild boar. This guy was too ferocious. Fortunately, Captain Mida showed up in time and saved us." Roy wiped the sweat from his forehead with his other uninjured hand, his tone full of gratitude.

"We are all comrades-in-arms. It is common to support and help each other on the battlefield. You don't need to thank me." Mida waved his hand behind him and said quickly.

Leiter frowned for a moment, then relaxed his brows quickly. He shouted to the nearly 1,000 people in the team behind him, "Light magician, come and heal."

Then he said to Roy: "Your injury is not light at all. If it gets more serious, your arm will be broken and there will be no way to recover it."

"Thank you for your concern, Commander Rhett. I will pay attention next time." Roy said ashamedly.

"Well, but this is also a good thing for the next battlefield. Just take it as a lesson." Lei Te nodded and said, "Return to the team. We will leave here today and head to the cold current defense line."

When these people who had just walked out of the forest heard this, their expressions became serious. They immediately threw the monsters in their hands to the ground and trotted into the team in an orderly manner.

Lei Te turned around and shouted quickly, "Everyone listen up, get ready, each team leader will count the number of people, and we will set off in half an hour."

As soon as the words fell, captains immediately walked out of the team to check the situation of each team.

Then, with the sound of counting behind him, Rhett walked to the bedside and said to the White Hat who was meditating with his eyes closed: "Thank you for your hard work this time, Mr. White Hat. You don't need to accompany me on the rest of the journey. You should take Dick back to Dark Eagle City."

The man in the white hat wearing a gray wizard robe opened his eyes and said worriedly, "Are you sure you don't need me to go to the cold front to assist you? After all, I am a sixth-level magician..."

"Haha, Dark Eagle City still needs you more. Don't worry, I will be fine. On the contrary, those orcs will just have to wait to be killed this time." Rhett shook his head with a smile.

"Well... well, I'll take Dick back right away. Take care of yourself!" White Hat took a deep breath and said in a very serious tone, "I'll wait for your triumphant return in Dark Eagle City."

Happy New Year everyone!!
