Section 29 Loser
The loser in the 29th chapter
Gande carefully climbed a gentle slope. He had observed before that this position may be the highest place around. If the two sides fight - even if they are fighting outside - nearby, then this position will definitely be visible. On the contrary, it means that they are still far from the battlefield.
However, it should be almost the same. Years of scouting career have given the raider a considerable degree of confidence in his vision. He climbed up the top of the hill very carefully, and before poking his head out to observe, he even prepared a hat made of weeds for himself.
Ash Rufate followed him. He did not poke his head out, but his smell that was beyond humanity had already smelled blood. It was a place called "battlefield", with a strong and deep smell of blood.
Gander shrank his head and breathed a deep breath. "Ashu Rufat, we are lucky and we are playing lively."
He said in a very relaxed tone. This is because the battle between the two sides is at a critical moment, so no matter which side, it is impossible to extract strength to search the areas around the battlefield. Therefore, although the two of them can observe the battlefield, they are very safe.
Ashurufat also leaned out and looked. As he expected, the battle was at a critical moment. Judging from the flags of both sides, the Kazars were attacking and the hunters were defending. The key to the battle was to wander around the fortifications outside the hunters' tribe camp.
Yes, this is not a field battle, but a tough attack. To be specific, the Qazar army is besieging the hunters' camps. At this time, the battle is in full swing, the two armies are fighting for life, bloody slaughter, and murderous aura.
"It's a rare scene." Gander said proudly. "I think although you are good at using swords, you probably have never seen such a big scene."
"It's indeed a big scene." Ashu Rufate replied calmly. He calculated that there were about 3,000 attackers and about half of the defenders. The two armies combined were less than 5,000. Ashu Rufate remembered that he had more than 100,000 troops under his command not long ago... Well, of course, Beasovin's tribe was naturally much bigger.
There is nothing to say about the battle situation at this time, and the number advantage is undoubtedly revealed at this time. Although relying on fortifications, the wandering hunter tribe has begun to lose its support.
"Be good, it's scary. This time, many people will probably die." Gande exclaimed. He obviously had the idea of "watching the fun is not a big deal", and began to chat while watching the battle.
"Hey, I remembered our failure back then... Hey, the defense line ahead collapsed, fortunately I ran fast..." Gander casually talked about the past, picked a weed and bit the grass stem in his mouth. Ash Rufate now understands why Gander is still a plunderer (he looks like he is in his forties or fifties). To be honest, this person's thinking is different from the "chaotic warrior" in the usual concept. In other words, he actually has no special enthusiasm for combat.
It is obvious that this kind of thinking does not please the evil god of Chaos. No wonder he has not been able to obtain Chaos Armor until now (although he has obviously experienced many battles). But from another perspective, he is indeed an excellent scout talent. Perhaps this is precisely due to his nature.
Sure enough, even in the chaos, there are all kinds of different types of people. But then again, although Gande is just a plunderer, he has several magical equipment on him. One of them is a short sword he carried with him - Ash Rufate recognized that it was a magic item made by a dwarf. The other one was his helmet. I really don't know how he got it.
The battle finally came to the time to decide the outcome. With the advantageous force, the Qazar tribe rushed into the enemy's defense line regardless of everything. A Chaos warrior wearing heavy armor, who was unique at first sight, rushed into the enemy's formation, invincible in the sword light and sword shadows, and there was no enemy in front of him. He rushed over unstoppablely, tearing a big hole in the enemy's defense line, and the soldiers behind him also took advantage of the opportunity to rush into the gap. In an instant, the defense line of wandering the hunter collapsed. It was hard to tell where it started, but in the blink of an eye, all the people in the hunter's tribe were scrambling to escape. The face-to-face battle turned into a unilateral massacre.
Kazar suffered a lot of casualties in order to break through the defense line. At this moment, they were all red in their eyes, and the whole army was full of bloodthirsty fanaticism. The entire battlefield was full of pursuit and death, blocking the front and the back. It was because the soldiers were defeated like mountains, and the more obedient ones escaped as soon as possible, while the more foolish ones became dead souls under the sword.
Seeing this situation, Gande immediately stopped his affairs. He obviously had rich experience in this situation, so he quickly found a suitable place to hide and hid in.
"Ashu Rufate, come here quickly. Now we have to hide for a while."
"Why?"
"Because they ran around, maybe a blind man came here and followed a few pursuers." Gande said.
"Then we should leave while the distance is still far." Ashu Rufate was a little puzzled.
"Follower! What are the benefits of leaving?" Gander spitted off the weeds in his mouth. "We can't take such a risk in vain and get nothing."
"benefit???"
"Nonsense, you say, what will the Chaos Lord of the Kazar tribe do next?"
"Chasing and fleeing enemies." Ashu Rufate answered immediately.
"That's right," said Gander. "He will lead his army to pursue as far as possible, so as to kill as many enemies as possible. Then, what will happen on the battlefield?"
"It's all dead people, what can happen?" Ash Rufate replied. Chaos warriors prefer to use weapons such as sledgehammers and giant axes, so those who fall on the battlefield rarely suffer from injuries but do not die. If so, it's also not far from death.
"About the truth, they are all dead people. But... what about the property on the dead people? Then we can naturally change to another master."
Ashu Rufate finally understood.
While speaking, the two sides of the war had already left the battlefield where they were fighting for it just now. Gande took the lead, and Ashu Rufate followed him and came to the battlefield.
Two figures walked through the battlefield. The so-called battlefield was the camp of the hunter army. After such a bloody battle, there was a miserable scenery around: dead bodies everywhere, blood that had not yet dried up, and choking and moans that were dying came from the throats of the wounded who had no hope of survival, turning into meaningless noises on the battlefield.
Gander seemed to be commonplace with this. He quickly picked up a chopped head and pulled a gold earring from his ear.
"Hey, it's pure gold, not bad." Gander bit his earrings and put them in his arms with a smile. "Ashu Rufat quickly starts. We don't have much time, and it would be a disaster if they come back and see them."
Gande is indeed a skilled craftsman. In just a blink of an eye, he had already found several valuable gadgets for himself. Ashu Rufate didn't care about all this, but just walked through the battlefield silently. He did not plunder the dead's bodies, but slowly observed the dead and felt this speechless atmosphere.
It was not that he was full of mercy, but that he was full of disdain - although he himself did not notice this. These defeated and dead people had no value at all.
Then he saw a corpse on the ground - if he was anything special, it was that the corpse was wearing not ordinary Chaos armor.
This is Groney's Knight Armor.
As mentioned earlier, Chaos Armor is a gift from the evil god. Even if there is no magic on it, its craftsmanship or design is above ordinary knight armor. Therefore, Chaos believers sometimes seize weapons from southerners, but they rarely use southerners to get some armor with poor defense and somewhat bulky defense.
There is only one possibility that you can wear this kind of armor. This person is probably the southerner who was attracted by the evil god.
Ashrufate bowed his head and turned over the dead body. The deceased was about forty years old. The cause of death was a fatal blow on his back - caused by a giant axe, which directly split the armor and body and reached the internal organs. The weapon in this person's hand was a long sword - a weapon called sword, which is commonly used by Southern Knights, but it is not popular on the barbarians. This further proves the origin of the deceased.
"Silly guy." Ashu Rufat made this comment softly. He dared to venture into the chaotic realm with such a little ability? Isn't this asking for death?
If it was Ashu Rufate - although it might not be possible to change this battle with one person's strength, at least it would be fine to rely on one's own courage to find a way out.
"Oh, this one is a Chaos Champion!" Gander discovered Ash Rufate's side. He reached out to pick up something from the dead: it was a huge ring with Tsengchi's mark on it.
"Only high-end goods can only be owned by Chaos champions. Tsk tsk." He shook his head. "There are the most people attracted by Tsengqi." He said. "Silly mortals are tempted by endless knowledge, but they don't know what kind of difficult paths they have to go through to obtain endless knowledge. That is a trap. How can those noble pursuits be as happy as timely enjoyment."
"Champion of Chaos?" Ashu Rufat looked at the ring.
"Yes, Chaos Champion." Gander replied. "But he still has some reservations and refuses to give his body and mind to Tsengchi completely. So although he has the identity of Chaos Champion, he does not get the power and authority that matches him."
"This...you mean... even if the southerners have the status recognized by the gods, they must..."
"That's right." Gander looked at Ash Rufate with his eyes. "It's actually that. Although you have the identity of a God-Selected Warrior, you haven't handed everything to Prince Fun. So you don't have the Chaos Armor that matches your status."
It turns out that becoming a high-level believer in Chaos requires a ritual of recognition. Ashu Rufate thought so.
Although the ring was also made of gold, Gande did not put it away, but threw it to the corpse. "Don't fall into Tsengchi's plan and stay away from everything related to it." He said casually. Then he found that Ash Rufate was still looking at the corpse. "What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
"I won't be a loser," said Ashu Rufate. After saying this, he looked at the body again, and left without any hesitation.
