"My goodness!"
Jia Zhengyi was stunned. It wasn't until the battlefield turned around and the elves were actually gaining the upper hand that he came to his senses and muttered, "These guys are freaks! The orcs ambushed us almost perfectly, and we still can't beat them?"
This was a perfect ambush, with the enemy outnumbering the enemy, and the close-quarters combat was used to offset the elves' extremely powerful output capabilities. It was also timed to the last moment before anyone could react.
According to normal military logic, anyone who comes here will suffer a great loss, but unfortunately these elves are ridiculously strong, with their reaction and combat abilities all at the maximum level!
As a long-lived species that has lived for hundreds of years, their combat experience, teamwork, and instantaneous reaction are all at the world's top level.
Watch out behind you!
Upon hearing Jia Zhengyi's voice, Su Lin raised his hand and swung out a three-foot-long sword, killing two fox fighters who were trying to ambush Jia Zhengyi from behind.
"boss!"
Jia Zhengyi was both shocked and delighted: "You saved me again!"
After saying this, he quickly spurred his horse to Su Lin's side and did not dare to leave her side for even a moment.
But Su Lin's gaze was exceptionally cold: "I saved you, but you ruined us!"
"What kind of rubbish did you scout! The whole team is inside the ambush zone, and you didn't notice a thing!"
Su Lin suppressed his anger. He had placed all his trust in Jia Zhengyi's abilities, but he almost suffered a great loss as a result!
"Boss, I..."
Jia Zhengyi was taken aback, then lowered his head, his face full of shame.
He remained silent, not daring to explain anything, only to hear Xiao Linlin whisper to Su Lin beside him, "Brother, it's not his fault. Brother Jia didn't rest the whole way. He was constantly scouting the surroundings and expended a lot of energy."
"The reason we were ambushed was probably because of the orc shamans. The magic in this world is amazing, especially the powerful effect of [group casting]."
"If so many shamans cast spells together, the concealment effect is probably higher than an S-level information reconnaissance ability, which is just outside Brother Jia's ability range."
"This is, after all, a world of war. War means collective strength. An individual enemy may not be strong, but when they unite, they can definitely threaten us."
Xiao Linlin tried to reason with Jia Zhengyi, even bringing up Lyanna as an example: "Not only Brother Jia, but Sister Lyanna and Ellerie also didn't realize they were ambushed. Even the demigod didn't notice... Why make things difficult for a mere S-rank follower?"
Jia Zhengyi was initially quite touched, thinking that this girl was really sensible. Although they bickered on a daily basis, she really spoke up for him at crucial moments.
When Jia Zhengyi heard the rest, his expression suddenly became rather strange.
A mere S-rank follower?
Um... was this a kind remark or a malicious one?
"Um."
Su Lin nodded, his face still as calm as water, but he didn't criticize Jia Zhengyi any further.
Xiao Linlin's analysis is correct. No matter what, we should never take the escape world lightly, and we should never let our guard down just because we crushed the orc team before.
We cannot underestimate escape matches, especially difficult ones. Situations where we can evade Jia Zhengyi's detection have already begun to emerge!
Su Lin knew that Jia Zhengyi couldn't be entirely blamed, but the failure of the information access point was a dangerous sign.
Speaking of Lyanna, Sulin glanced at the person nearby.
Lyanna was still slaughtering the orcs around her who were trying to charge at Sulin and the others. She had already steadied herself and was firing her bow from nearby, reaping the lives of the orcs at extremely close range.
No matter how many orcs rushed towards this place, Lyanna shot them all to death in pools of blood, leaving none alive!
Thanks to her protection, Su Lin and the others were spared from the chaos of the battlefield, which gave Xiao Linlin time to plead for Jia Zhengyi and analyze the situation on the battlefield.
"I think these orcs were probably after the new recruits, but we just happened to run into them, so they ambushed us."
Xiao Linlin regained her composure and observed the battlefield. She quickly deduced the orc team's purpose: "Brother, it seems that the orc teams we killed before have indeed caused more trouble. The orcs nearby must have noticed our force, which is why they sent more forces to surround and kill us."
This group of orcs was larger, more elite, and more cautious than before, clearly targeting Su Lin and his companions.
However, they did not know the specific whereabouts of Su Lin and the others. If Su Lin and the others were still in the recruit team, they would probably suffer a defeat.
But now that the elves are here, it's a completely different story. Xiao Linlin kept emphasizing how powerful the elves were in the forest, but Su Lin really didn't believe it.
But witnessing it firsthand, in just over ten minutes, the entire battlefield had turned into a one-sided advantage for the elves.
