Chapter 277

A team of about 70 people marched silently in the gorge rift valley.

The roaring sword wind is fierce and cold. From time to time, you can see that there are suddenly more scratches on the surrounding mountain wall or the earth. This is not weathering, but real knife cutting. But it's amazing that when these sabres blew in front of people, they just rippled like a general breeze, leaving no trace on these people.

For the scene in front of us, the people of this team don't know whether they are tired of seeing it, so they simply turn a blind eye.

The atmosphere seemed a little depressed and low.

Even some discordant atmosphere such as confrontation was revealed.

Wamis walked at the end of the team, silently glancing at the whole team, but he sighed helplessly in his heart, and his mood was quite complex.

He has nearly four years of living experience in the wilderness, which is not an easy thing for the wilderness where the climate is bad, the environment is bad, and there are often things like eating black. So that's why people who can survive in the wilderness for more than two years will be heavily hired by nobles who are willing to intervene in the cause of slave hunting. In the wilderness, if you want to rely on the private army of nobles to catch slaves on a large scale, you must at least have the strength of an elite army.

And even if you have such an army, you must stand the almost tragic war damage ratio.

If you can't bear this psychological pressure, you can only play small-scale slave hunting.

Therefore, in the wild land, the number of slave teams is usually maintained at about 100, and the highest is only two or three hundred. However, for the slave hunters in the wilderness, there is nothing terrible about this number. At least it can not form a quantitative deterrent. Therefore, even in the fight of black eating black, no slave team will retreat - in fact, in the wilderness, it can't retreat.

Because there is no way back.

However, these are not the reasons why wamis will sigh. He has been the leader of a slave team for nearly a year, and his experience is naturally good. What he is really helpless is that this team is not the team he has always led.

The last time he captured slaves, he had a good harvest. He captured dozens of grey elves and several orcs who were said to have bimon blood in a small tribe. This wealth was quite considerable, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins. However, for this reason, they clashed with the two slave teams. In the end, they finally avoided the end of the regiment by relying on wamis's rich experience and the strength of the team, and brought these slaves back smoothly.

However, his team was on the verge of disbanding, and less than 30 people came back alive. Slave hunting is very dangerous, so the slave team can only accept such results, and according to the rules, they can get a rest period of at least one year. This time is a process and time for wamis to recruit new slave hunters, cultivate and train them, and run in with the old team.

But I don't know why, this time they didn't get such a rest period. In the second month after his return, he was summoned by the LORD he worked for, and then gave him another slave team to integrate the two teams and immediately set out to enter the wilderness for slave hunting activities. This kind of thing had never happened before, so wamis was naturally curious, but he could hear the Lord's voice was very urgent, and his attitude was obviously tough, so he could not allow him to refuse, so he could only lead the two teams to set out immediately.

In fact, this kind of thing is not absent for the slave team, but generally no Lord will do so.

Because a slave team is a small group that forcibly integrates the two slave teams, who will be the leader? If this problem is not solved, it will inevitably lead to internal problems. After all, the position of leader is not only the embodiment of power, but also has many other advantages, such as distribution power - after capturing slaves and selling them by the Lord, the slave team can get half of the reward, and the specific distribution of this reward will be distributed by the leader.

The one who contributes more and more can naturally get a higher reward.

The two slave teams are mixed together. Under normal circumstances, the leader will certainly favor the slave team he has always led. It is very difficult to be fair and just.

Therefore, if it was a slave team with little experience, wamis would not have such a headache, but this other slave team also had more than two years of wild land survival experience. They were dispatched to wamis by the Lord because the old leader died in the war - according to common sense, this slave team should elect a new leader, Not two slave teams.

The situation is somewhat complicated.

Wamis felt powerless. He didn't know why the LORD he worked for would be so eager. However, he knew that if he wanted to gain something this time and leave the wilderness alive, he must find ways to eliminate this gap and make the two slave teams completely integrate into a whole. Only in this way can he live in the wilderness.

The best way to solve this problem is to find a slave hunting team after entering the wilderness, or attack a tribe, so that both sides can exchange a little war with each other. Only in this way can the two slave teams accept each other's existence, and then slowly run in for two or three months. Wamis thinks it should be almost the same.

Of course, it's not bad that both teams are old hands.

At least they know what to do and what not to do, and they don't need wamis to remind them at all.

Soon, the team came to a huge cave.

Several scouts stood in front of the cave and gestured. Wamis was slightly relieved. The gesture meant that there was no one in the cave. So the team went into the cave in silence, and the scouts walked in front with torches. The team kept up with them. In front of them, they had selected a relatively clean place to build a simple temporary camp and set up things such as boilers. The cave * * has a pile of firewood, which can be taken at will.

These firewood are prepared by other slave teams, which is a default hidden rule.

When any slave team leaves the wilderness and wants to pass through the gorge Rift Valley, it must collect a batch of firewood and pile it up to facilitate other slave teams passing here. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in this cave, that is, fighting is not allowed here, and the first provocation will be unanimously attacked by other slave teams in the cave.

Of course, this unwritten rule is also a lot of tricky.

For example, at the moment, if a slave team has returned from the cave and has made a lot of achievements, and the cave is only composed of them and another slave team, then a fierce battle is very possible. It was here that wamis clashed with the second slave team, but he didn't let everyone in the team sleep to death by virtue of experience, so he succeeded in killing all the others in turn, but he also paid a heavy price.

"Let's have a rest here. Our trip will be very difficult the next day." Wamis opened his hood, revealed a slightly vicissitudes of life face, and said in a hoarse voice, "everyone is an old hand, and it's not the first time to take this road, so you know what's going on, I won't say anything anymore It's OK to drink some wine to warm up, but we must control the amount. I don't want to see someone drunk tomorrow morning. "

……

Almost at the same time, Sean and others, who accelerated their foot journey, finally joined the werewolf and gray elf in charge of investigation in front.

"What happened?" Sean asked.

"The other party just entered the No. 1 fire hole ten minutes ago." The werewolf who retreated from the cave mouth said, "I smell the smell of food and wine. They should be warming up."

This cave is what Andre calls a rest stronghold.

Because of the mountain wind problem in the gorge Rift Valley, there will be a long way to be within the scope of this furious knife wind, and naturally there is no way to rest and eat in such an environment, so someone made three caves in this mountain wind section. The slave teams can take advantage of these three caves for rest. However, in order to prevent some accidents, these caves do not have only one entrance and exit, but a road similar to an corridor, and there are more than six entrances and exits, so that the slave teams can choose the location to leave at will. Using these caves can shorten the journey of about two days at most.

You know, the journey covered by the fierce mountain wind has seven days. It's not easy to shorten the journey of two days.

However, as the first cave that can take shelter from the wind, there are not so many entrances and exits, only three. However, under normal circumstances, the slave team will go directly to the third exit to leave the cave, and then take about a day's journey to reach the second cave. Naturally, it is impossible to stop and eat in this process, so they must be full before leaving the cave.

And I don't know why. The temperature in the cave is much lower, which is probably close to below zero. Even if the cloak is specially made to prevent the cold, the effect is not much better. Therefore, there is the custom of drinking and warming up in the cave. These are the experience of the slave team.

Sean turned his head and looked at Andre. After all, he was much more experienced than himself.

It seemed that he felt Sean's eyes. Andre said, "you can cook food and start warming up in ten minutes after entering the cave. From the other party's practice, it should be a more cautious and experienced type, so he will certainly arrange someone to watch the night in shifts. But it also shows that he wants to save time. Otherwise, he should let everyone relax after entering the cave, and then start warming up and chatting... "

"They didn't chat. The cave was very quiet." A grey elf added, as if he knew what Andre wanted to ask.

"In this way, either they have something urgent, or the slave team has not completely run in." Andre said, "either way, it's good for us. We can wait outside for two to three hours before entering, and then launch a surprise attack to catch the other party unprepared, because at this time, those who have fallen asleep will fall asleep because of the strength of wine, and the people in charge of the night watch will start to feel sleepy because of the strength of wine. "

"Good, that's what we'll do!" Sean agreed to Andre's plan（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
