Chapter 391: Marauders

The small town’s patrols had around one hundred people per squad.There were thirty barbarians, thirty orc archers, twenty bear clan warriors, five-six wolf clan scouts, and a few ogres.

The barbarians were the main strength.Normal patrols would not receive source energy weapons because the patrol’s main job was to disperse robbers in the forest.With the strength of the barbarian berserkers, it was enough to take care of the robbers in the forest. The ogres and bear people were the main fighting force and the orc archers and wolf people were there to provide support.

This group layout was very carefully planned.It could charge in and retreat, it could attack and defend, it could chase and avoid trackers, how could they be completely eliminated?Each team had several communication devices and would report to headquarters every half hour. If something suddenly happened, they could immediately report to headquarters.

Now the two patrols had been attacked.

They did not even send out a distress signal!

When the headquarters found that these two teams had not reported, they immediately sent out wolf people to search for them.In the end, they found they had been completely killed off and not a person was left alive.

When Chu Tian led Meng Yingying to the scene, the ground was covered in corpses and the forest was dyed with blood, making this scene look very tragic.Each berserker had several dozen arrows in them, making them look like hedgehogs. No matter how strong their vitality was, they were not lucky enough to survive such a fierce attack.

Too tragic.

How could something like this happen under their eyes?

Meng Yingying’s face turned a bit white, “Which bastard did this!Why would they kill our people without any reason at all!”

“We are currently investigating this, but we haven’t found a trace so far.”Nangong Yun led a group of soldiers into the forest to search, “It seems like our patrols were ambushed and the attackers did not leave behind a single corpse, this really is not a normal matter!”

That’s right.

This was too abnormal!

“The patrols had elite wolf clan members and their noses can smell people from ten miles away, it is impossible for them to be ambushed.”Meng Yingying was confused, “Even if they were ambushed, our Oldman Small Town’s patrols cannot just die from a single attack. Could it be that other side had True Spirit Realm experts?”

“Not necessarily!”Nangong Yun said, “Look at direction of the arrow, these arrows were fired from the sky.Although the wolf people’s noses are sharp, but if the enemy was riding in airborne mounts, they could fire from the sky and the wolf people wouldn’t be able to track them.”

Airborne mounts?

This was precisely Miracle Commerce’s weakness.

Meng Yingying was still a bit confused, “Why didn’t we receive a distress signal?”

“Because they couldn’t send it in time!”Nangong Yun pulled out an arrow and pointed at the black head as she said, “The arrow is covered in poison, so even if it is the bear clan, wolf clan, or orc warriors, once they were hit with an arrow, they would immediately lose the ability to resist.The berserkers and the strong bodied ogres could resist the poison, but there were too many enemies. After a single wave of attacks, there weren’t many that could keep standing, so they could send the signal in time.”

Meng Yingying slightly knit her brows, “So evil, actually using poison!”

Generally the patrols would not bring the Storm Rifles or the portable cannons, so when they were lacking heavy firepower and being suddenly attacked by the enemy, they were completely annihilated without being able to resist at all.

But why would they attack the Oldman Small Town patrol for no reason?

Was this a coincidence or was it deliberate?

“Sir mayor, this is bad!”At this time, an orc quickly ran over.That big and ugly face was covered in sweat, “Another group was ambushed again.They have sent a request for help to the small town and their situation is not good.”

Everyone’s faces changed.

Chu Tian quickly asked, “Location!”

The orc quickly said, “Around twenty miles from the canyon.A group of guards was attacked this time.”

The patrols were different from the group of guards.

As Oldman Small Town slowly developed, they began offering transport services.For example, the merchants that came to the small town to sell large amounts of goods, they were afraid of robbers blocking the road to Oldman Small Town.After all, with Oldman Small Town’s quick development, the bandits and thieves knew there were large amounts of goods around this place, so there were quite a few of them waiting for prey.

It was because of this that Oldman Small Town sent out large amounts of patrols, protecting the safety of the surrounding area.

However, the patrols were only for around the valley, so there were a few merchants who still didn’t feel assured.This was because the robbers could place ambushes in points in the nearby forest, guarding the various exits to the canyon, stopping them like this.

Demands gave rise to opportunities!

Oldman Small Town had abundant military strength and they spent most of their time doing nothing.

When Meng Qingwu came to the Oldman Small Town, in order to maximize use of resources, she had created a mercenary services.She created a Miracle Commerce mercenary business, mainly to send protective groups out.

If the merchants were not assured, they could hire soldiers, having the powerful elite army escort them from this region.The charge was dependent on how many soldiers were hired, but it was generally quite affordable, so there were many merchants willing to spend money rather than facing danger.

This increased their income and calmed the merchants’ worries, being advantageous to the long term development of Oldman Small Town.

The one attacked was a group of guards.

When Chu Tian’s group rushed over, it was already too late.

The battle here had just ended and they were completely annihilated.There were several heavily wounded barbarians and ogres who didn’t die because of their strong vitality, being barely rescued.

“So many arrows, so many arrows!”The barbarian’s eyes went wide and his mind was very fuzzy.He said with great difficulty, “Bats, so many bats!”

Bats?

Chu Tian couldn’t ask anymore and could only wave his hand, “Quickly send them back to be treated.”
