Without too much time to think about the content of the task, Lu Jian raised the crossbow with one hand, and at the same time materialized [last words] with the other hand.

Bang——

Before Lu tripped the trigger, the gray wolf crashed into an invisible and transparent barrier.

bang bang bang—

Lu Jian saw that several similar monsters had bumped into this barrier. They tried to break through, but couldn't take a step forward.

whoosh whoosh—

The next moment, the crossbow shot out.

Sparse but deadly arrows pierced into the bodies of these monsters. On the eyes and in the fur, black blood fell to the ground, melting the snow and emitting a cold stench.

Lu Jian noticed that the reason why the crossbow arrows were sparse was because they were divided into three groups.

The three groups of people are scattered, and only one-third of the people shoot arrows at a time. When the round of salvo is over, the second group of people will replenish, and those who have just finished firing will start to reload the crossbow arrows.

Very classic medium-range weapon tactics.

However, Lu Jian didn't know which round he was in. After seeing three rounds of volleys, the monsters were about to recede.

Then, he heard a noise behind him, turned his head and glanced, there were several people in heavy armor and cloaks.

Lu Jian, who just thought this outfit looked familiar, remembered that this was Shia's attire.

They are mages.

The moment he realized this, an invisible shock wave spread from the hands of those mages.

In an instant, those monsters that hadn't fallen down seemed to be hit by shells head-on. They began to collapse and crack from the tip of their noses, and their flesh and blood formed an obvious columnar cavity. Those hideous bodies were thrown to the surrounding tree trunks, and blood dripped .

The last thing is to clean the battlefield.

People in groups of three made up the knife to all the monsters that fell on the ground, and the spears pierced the bodies of those monsters, repeating this three times until they died completely.

Lu Jian got up from the snow and saw the man beside him patting the snow on the cloak.

"Look, I told you, there's no danger."

He looks much younger than Lu Jian,

Maybe only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a young face and a little childishness, but the posture of holding the crossbow seems to be very standard.

"Birmingham, come and help."

Behind him, another older person called out, and the boy followed.

It turned out his name was Birmingham.

Lu Yi has already gotten used to it. The names of the people in the Kingdom of the Night tend to be western, and they also have some eastern styles, but they may all be located in remote areas. At least the gray tower and black tower should have more common names and customs in this style.

Looking around, the corpses of monsters can be found everywhere, and there is a deep gap between the trees that is enough to block the sun. Only the crystals held by some people emit light, illuminating the area.

"After packing up, load the car, and we will return to the fortress."

A leading mage said.

The carts were pulled by horses, and the carts were filled with the corpses of those monsters. Although they were ferocious, it seemed that the flesh and blood of the monsters was an important source of food. Lu Jian followed Birmingham, listening to his nagging.

"As I said, hunting under normal circumstances is not dangerous. Our tactics are perfect, and even if we encounter a sneak attack, nothing will happen."

He pointed to the line ahead.

The goods are located in the center, and there are crossbowmen such as Lujuan and Birmingham on the outside. , light and flexible scouts were scattered in the forest, and the third floor guarded the surrounding area.

In this way, even if a monster attacked the outermost scouts, the middle scouts could pass back the information, making the team ready for battle.

This doesn't include the detection technique that mages use constantly. Lu Jian has seen Xi Ya's spell, which can at least ensure that there are no enemies within 100 meters. Under such a tight intelligence network, it is indeed not easy to be defeated by attacks.

Lu Jianjian chatted with Birmingham on the road and found out the current situation.

This is a military organization called Rangers, which is subordinate to the Black Tower, and is specially used as a force to defend the Black Forest, and Lu Lian is a sentry force belonging to the largest fortress in the Black Forest, Black Castle.

The members of the rangers are very mixed. They are as high as the children of mage families who were born in the gray tower but do not know magic, and the poor people are so low that they cannot afford food. As long as they join the rangers, they can get the most basic food and clothes, but the same , but also to receive training, to stand on the front line of the Black Forest.

As for those mages, they were the mages sent by the Gray Tower to guard the fortress. According to Lu Jian's observation, their army of about 50 people will be equipped with three mages. It is not clear whether this is more or less.

Even the rangers themselves seem to make a distinction.

The scouts are equipped with horses, most of which are trained children who have mastered some unique combat skills.

Most of the infantry came from poor families, equipped with spears, axes, warhammers, etc., and also wore leather armor, which could only prevent scratches.

Crossbowmen were born out of infantry, and were promoted with better performance, or had learned crossbow arrows before, and were equipped with short swords, and some crossbowmen also had tracer arrows that could illuminate an area. In the Black Forest, their role is crucial.

The commander wears mail armor, rides a horse, and holds a sword. He looks thirty or forty years old, with sharp eyes.

The three mages are not considered to be old, they may be one or two years older than Lu Juan. What is curious is that the armor on these mages is the heaviest, just like those knights like iron cans in the Middle Ages.

"In front is Heisong Town. The people in the town are very nice. We can take a rest there."

Birmingham is very cheerful, and has been introducing some and nothing.

It seems that in his cognition, Lu Yi is a recruit, and Birmingham is Lu Yi's elder brother.

"Don't worry, I'm here, no one can bully you, you call me big brother, I'll cover you."

Birmingham patted Lu Trip on the shoulder.

"Brother."

Lu Jian yelled, and this young man who was younger than Lu Jian was full of pride.

"Follow me from now on, have soup to drink and meat to eat."

Birmingham puffed out his chest.

"You are still someone else's big brother, just your head, be careful not to be taken away by the winter wolf."

On the side, someone made fun of it.

"Go aside, don't spoil my image in front of my little brother."

Birmingham rolled his eyes.

It seems that Lu Jian is the only younger brother of his.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Lu Jian feels the cold winter in the Black Forest. This kind of cold is not a magical attack from the south, nor a physical attack from the north, but a kind of cold that freezes the mind and body, and even the thinking becomes stagnant. I don't think there is any supernatural power in it.

The dark forests all looked the same, and even the roads were covered with snow. If the commander didn't know the way, the whole team would probably get lost in this unchanging scenery.

Just when Lu Jian was wondering how long he would continue to walk like this, the dark forest suddenly lit up in front of him.

A large open space appeared in front of him, and Lu Jian saw that it was a small town.
