"Quack!" The cry of the death bird broke the tranquility of the moonless night. The swaying branches opened their teeth and claws under the dim starlight, as if they were activated monsters. Several lights and shadows shuttled continuously in this gloomy mountain forest, and then a clear 'sonorous' sound also sounded. "Click! Click!" The cut branches made a series of sounds after falling to the ground one after another. Along with the flashes of cold light, the main components of this dense forest were more or less missing something. Holding the 'Broken Peak' in his hand, Barrett stopped in the gap in the dense forest and stared at the black shadows surrounding him: "I didn't expect that I would hunt geese all day long, and I was eventually blinded by the geese. One day.¡± The fall of several border cities, including Ulrika City, triggered another earthquake in Lucia. If the previous field defeat in the western theater had given the Lucians a sap, the subsequent fall of the city had opened a large gash in their bodies and really made them feel pain. So this time Lucia¡¯s senior officials changed their past arguments and organized a counterattack in a very short period of time. The Norhan army, which had finally established a ruling framework, encountered a new challenge from Lucia's domestic elite raiding party before it had a stable foothold. These troops do not belong to the public establishment of the Kingdom of Lucia, but are elite private soldiers trained by major families. The great nobles who had been unexpectedly accustomed to using public weapons for private purposes finally felt a huge threat to their survival. Under the circumstances that will affect their family's survival, these families who have been sucking blood from the kingdom for many years have finally begun to feed their motherland. The elites of the major families attacked the supply lines of the Kingdom of Norhan that had been stretched due to the war in the wilderness. At the same time, look for opportunities to cause all kinds of chaos in the city. They don't care about the safety of those civilians at all. As long as they can affect Nohan's rule, these guys don't mind wielding the butcher's knife against their compatriots. So in just one week, those guys caused 3 mass murders and 2 fires in Ulrika City. And one of the targets of the extermination was the collaborator who took refuge in Nohan's side first. You must know that the loss of this 'horse bone' greatly shocked other 'leading parties'. It has seriously affected the ideas of those who are wavering, and at the same time, administrative efficiency has suffered a heavy blow. This is only the impact on one place in Ulrika City. Other Lucian cities that fell into the hands of the Nohan Kingdom all suffered more or less the same accident. This can be said to be a slap in the face of Nohan, and they have no choice but to deal with it carefully. Although Ulrika City is a border city, its wall height is obviously not satisfactory. Although during the previous siege of the city, the Nohan army gained a lot of convenience and reduced a lot of losses. But the problems that had troubled Lucia's defenders now fell on them. At this time, strict defense can no longer solve the problem. In order to consolidate the previous achievements, Nohan must take the initiative. In order to deal with the elite team sent by Lucia, Norhan could only use elites to deal with it and use the human sea tactic in front of those Lucians who were more familiar with the terrain. Unintentionally, the gain outweighed the loss. Because time was limited, Earl Boham naturally used all the resources around him. Barrett spent a lot of time wandering around the woods with the Lucians these days. To be honest, a hand-to-hand encounter with elite troops like this is far more dangerous for a professional with certain strength like Barrett than the previous siege battle. In less than a week, the comrades who originally left with Barrett had been separated in the previous battle. Even though they had been mentally prepared in advance, this time the attack team still encountered an unexpected blow. At this time, Barrett kicked away the corpse that caused him to be surrounded. If he had some respect for the Lucia warrior who endured his needs under his attack a moment ago, then now he I can't care much anymore. The enemy's iron fist that brings out wind pressure is covered with dense hair, and the sharp nails are like monkey's claws. Even the first impression of him is that of a giant monkey. But Barrett knew that the opponent in front of him was not an ape. He was just a special professional who brought out his wild nature through the penance of a beast-like lifestyle. The wide Mo Dao was not suitable for use in the woods, but Barrett still chose this as his strongest weapon. This is not only because of its powerful effect, but more importantly, long-term use has made Barrett most familiar with it. So even though he would suffer some restrictions during battle, he accepted it. Facing the shadow flying from the tree, Barrett advanced instead of retreating. Although the unarmed savage in front of him is very good at attacking the top tactics in the jungle. But with nowhere to draw on in mid-air, once the enemy sees through his intentions and attack trajectory, a disaster awaits him. andBarrett, who has experienced many battles, will not be fooled by the savage's various feints. The weapon in his hand points directly at the core of the target, as if cutting the opponent in half in the blink of an eye. "Roar" But at this moment, a pungent wind accompanied the huge roar, forcing Barrett to turn his attention to a new threat. A large one jumped out from the nearby shadows. tiger. It bared its fangs, raised its tail, and charged at Barrett. The tiger's tail swiped at the bushes, making a swishing noise that made tiny leaves fly in all directions. After Barrett's initial visual inspection, the tiger was more than 20 feet long, and the front width was almost 10 feet. Overall, it was more than double the size of an average tiger. ¡°Then I saw the tiger, whose whole body was covered with brown and black stripes, pressed its two front paws slightly on the ground, pounced upwards, and jumped down from mid-air. When it stayed in mid-air, Barrett could see very clearly that its overall beautiful skin color was shining, and there were patches of white hair on its lips, chin, belly and inside of its limbs. ¡®A ferocious tiger? Is this thing the Lucian people¡¯s trump card? ¡¯ As Barrett rolled back to avoid the tiger¡¯s claws, he didn¡¯t know whether to tense up or relax. After all, unknown threats are the most terrifying. However, creatures like the Dire Tiger are truly ferocious beasts in the Western Continent, and even Barrett cannot easily deal with them. (~^~)
