    The shrill and urgent horn sound resounded through the sky, even the thumping sound of the heavy barbarian orc war drums was suppressed.  Two long and two short, then paused for a few seconds and repeated again. Everyone familiar with the tone of the marching horn will not mistake it. This is an urgent command to mount the horse, and no delay is allowed.  The order of the convoy camp has been completely disrupted by the sound of the horn. Members of the Sons of Flame mercenary group have pulled the reins and climbed onto the saddle, holding sharp unsheathed swords in their hands, ready to fight to the death with the barbarian orcs surrounding the camp; but the scales  Leader Thompson of the business group didn't think so. The little businessman was holding on to the reins of Captain Chama's horse, with an expression on his face as if someone had snatched his unmarried daughter away.  The merchant guards gathered behind him in twos and threes, holding weapons in their hands, but they didn't know what to do.  "No, no, I will never allow it!" Leader Thompson burst out with a huge roar that was not suitable for his short body, which was especially sharp during the intervals between horn blowing. "For the sake of the gods in the sky, Captain Chama, you can't  Do this. We signed an employment contract! " "The contract does not stipulate that you must be buried with your greed," Captain Chama retorted sternly, holding the handle of the thick-edged scimitar tightly with his uninjured left hand, "The beastman Yue.  The more people gather, the camp will be completely undefendable, and the only way to survive is to break out! Leader Thompson, I'm warning you for the last time, either organize your team to follow or get out!  Leader Thompson strained his neck and said, "This is not far from Baiqiu. The guards over there must have noticed that the situation has changed. As long as we hold on for a while, His Majesty the Mercenary King's reinforcements will arrive."  Many people showed expressions of approval, even the members of Sons of Flame who were ready to go.  After all, abandoning the camp and taking the initiative to rush towards the barbarian orcs' team requires not only courage, but also a bit of madness without fear of life and death.  A stern look flashed in Captain Chama's eyes, "Let me go!" He roared and pulled out his scimitar, a ruthless cold light dancing on the sharp blade, "Thompson, be careful or I'll chop off your hand!" "You  Don't dare!" Leader Thompson growled with a pale face, "With so many eyes, you will definitely" With a flash of sword, Captain Chama still failed to cut off the little businessman's wrist, but he cut off the reins.  .  Leader Thompson, who was holding the reins tightly, suddenly lost his balance, staggered and fell to the ground.  Then Captain Chama clamped his legs together hard, and the wild camel under his crotch let out a shrill, strange cry, and ran towards the camp gate desperately.  "First break out to the east, go east!" Tomad rode a wild camel nicknamed "Black Cavalry" and quickly caught up from behind, and soon rode side by side with Captain Chama.  "Then turn to the north." "Why east?" Captain Chama asked loudly, "The Baiqiu camp is to the west of us." "There are more than a hundred orcs in the west. Once they are entangled, it will be terrible.  "Tomad explained, while raising his right hand, a black flame gathered in his palm, "There are less than fifty in the east, and there is a gap between the orcs in the north." "Captain Chama?  Before he could finish his words, the earth-shattering roar of the barbarian orcs could already be heard in his ears, and it was like a rising tide.  The Sons of Flame's initiative to attack was indeed unexpected by the leaders of the Barbarian Orc tribe, but their reaction was also very fast. More than a dozen animal skin war drums sounded, and the figures of roaring Barbarian Orc warriors emerged from every sand dune around the camp.  , dozens of tattered flags fluttering above their heads, making the orcs appear to be far more numerous than they actually are.  Only the orcs to the east did not take the initiative to attack, because the human cavalry rushing out of the camp had already rushed straight towards them.  A tribal leader who looked burlier and taller than ordinary barbarian orcs waved the double-edged giant ax in his hand, and drove his men to form a simple horizontal line while shouting and cursing, blocking the passage between two huge sand dunes.  "Wedge formation, dense formation, speed up!" Captain Chama's roar penetrated the fierce wind. Most members of the Sons of Flame clamped their legs tightly on the saddle, putting their mounts into a galloping charge.  However, there were also a dozen or so people who were afraid and deliberately reined in the reins, hoping to let others take the lead.  Neither Tomad nor Captain Chama could see the chaos at the end of the wedge array. In fact, even if they could see it, they could not change what was about to happen.  The barbarian orcs' horizontal formation is so close that they can even clearly count the sharp teeth in their bloody mouth.  Captain Chama gritted his teeth and raised the thick-edged scimitar in his hand high, "Everyone, prepare to attack" A black fireball flew out of Tomad's hand, with a wild laughter that sounded like it came from hell, dragging  Flying towards the array of barbarian orcs with a long tail of smoke.  The leader of the barbarian orc tribe was the first to bear the brunt. Just as he raised the giant ax in his hand, the black fireball slammed under his feet.?Exploded.  After this fireball has been charged for a long time, it is far more powerful than the last time.  The loud noise was deafening, and translucent scorching air waves swept through everything within a few dozen meters. Flesh and gravel mixed together, rising into the sky along with black flames.  Including the tribal leader, five orcs were shattered to pieces in the violent explosion. The number of injured was doubled, and they lay on the ground groaning and blackened.  "This is the gap, rush, rush out!" Tomad shouted while throwing a black fireball again.  Because there was no charge this time, the power was much less powerful than the one just now. However, the frightened beastmen did not dare to use their flesh and blood to resist. They dispersed and joined the other beastmen who came from other directions to support them.  Crash into a ball.  This can be said to be an unexpected gain. Captain Tomad and Chama didn't even have a chance to kill the enemy, so they rushed out of the encirclement of the barbarian orcs. The wedge-shaped array following them also successfully passed through most of the area.  .  However, the barbarian orcs are indeed a naturally warlike race. They quickly woke up from the chaos caused by confusion and fear. The array suddenly closed like iron pincers, intercepting the cavalry that had slowed down.  The collision of steel was mixed with screams. Giant axes, clubs and swords clashed violently. A barbarian orc was knocked to the ground. The lucky cavalry trampled on the flesh and blood and flew past, but there were more confrontations.  The result was that the cavalry fell down and hunched over, and the braying of the wild camel and the wail of the dying man were mixed together.  Tomad tried his best to resist the urge to turn back and rescue. He could kill ten orcs, or twenty, but it would not help the whole situation.  From the moment those people hesitated and disobeyed orders, they were already destined to die under the giant axes and clubs of the barbarian orcs.  After bypassing two huge sand dunes, the team turned to the north. The noise of the battlefield had gradually diminished, and only the low and terrifying sound of the orc war drums was still chasing behind them.  Perhaps because the hundreds of people from the Tianping Merchant Group did not break out together, the barbarian orcs had no intention of chasing down this team of less than a hundred people.  After continuing to gallop north for a few miles, Captain Chama made a rest signal to stop the team.  "Each team counts the number of people to see if anyone or their mounts are injured." Captain Chama's voice seemed a little hoarse. "We can only stay here for half an hour to rest. The rest of the time must be traveled day and night, and we must not stop unless absolutely necessary."  Fortunately, it's only two days away from Baiqiu Camp. It will be safe when we get there. "Tomad didn't seem to agree with this statement," the young mercenary leader showed a thoughtful expression on his face.  Subconsciously stroking the mount's head, "We do have to hurry up as soon as possible, but it's best to reserve a certain amount of physical strength. If everyone is exhausted when we arrive at the Baiqiu camp, I'm worried that other accidents will happen." Chama  The captain's face was severely distorted, as if an invisible claw was grabbing his heart. "What kind of accident will there be?" He uttered these words with difficulty, and then closed his mouth tightly with a pale face.  Tomad hesitated for a moment. After all, the accusation he was about to say was limited to speculation without direct evidence, but to a certain extent, it was obviously consistent with all the facts that had happened.  "The guards at Baiqiu Camp are also responsible for inquiring into the movements of the barbarian orc tribe. Captain Chama, do you remember what the guard captain said before we set off again?" "He said" Captain Chama's  His throat moved, which was a swallowing movement, but the bitter taste in his mouth was not so easy to eliminate.  "Nothing unusual, everything is as usual." "Everything is as usual." Tomad repeated sarcastically, "It seems that the Abraham Desert is more dangerous than I thought, with sandstorms burying oasis and the Beast King's flag appearing.  It can all be classified as business as usual. " Captain Chama took two quick breaths. When the worst possibility was about to become a reality, he calmed down and showed the calm attitude that a good commander should have.  "You are right, Captain Tomad. There is no conspiracy more vicious than this. What will greet us at Baiqiu Camp is probably not hot meals and beds, but despicable daggers stabbed from behind."  Nodding silently in agreement.  The two fell into a wordless silence for a while. The hot wind blew through the sand dunes, bringing an unsettling temperature. A gray poisonous scorpion with a raised tail crawled through the shadows, and suddenly turned around as if it had noticed something.  , quickly plunged into the yellow sand.  "I must report my experience along the way to the regiment leader as soon as possible." Captain Chama's voice broke the silence, "Tatarchuk has been shrouded in a huge conspiracy. I don't know how many lives will be lost as a result, but absolutely  I¡¯m afraid most people don¡¯t know anything yet.¡± ¡°Before setting off, I went on a tour with Lenard Basten.I had a long conversation.  Tomad said calmly, "Captain Chama, I believe the Fox King is already prepared for the contingency, but until the speculation becomes a fact, no one dares to act rashly."  After all, this involves a huge secret of the Lord Joseph Tito of the Free City. If it is spread, many people will have their heads dropped.  "
