Chapter 288: Attacking the Western Wasteland
Torres frowned: "Raven, once we enter the Western Wasteland, we will have no way to retreat. There are only aliens there."

“I know, but we’re already blocked behind us, and this is the only way out.

Besides, I have another plan in mind, but I can’t confirm whether it is feasible until we cross the canyon.”

"what's the plan?"

……

One day later, the two princes, Koku and Tira, stood outside the Moye Canyon, looking at the rugged cliffs on both sides, frowning tightly.

"Brother, they actually entered the canyon." Tira said in a deep voice.

"What on earth are these people planning to do that they dare to enter our Western Wilderness?" Koku asked doubtfully.

"I think they are just desperate. If that's the case, they are no longer a threat."

"Oh, I never thought that a team of 200 people could make us so embarrassed." Koku said in disbelief.

In one month, he lost at least five thousand soldiers.

Two hundred versus five thousand?
Just thinking about this number makes me feel cold all over.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that Riven's entry into the Western Wilds might not be a good thing.

“I have never seen such sharp cavalry, this group of humans must not be allowed to stay.

Big Brother, you block the canyon here, and I will lead the men to pursue them."

“Okay, you have to be careful.

At present, the army is away and the tribe is very empty, so we must deal with them as soon as possible."

"Do not worry."

"Is this the Western Wilderness?" Raven exclaimed.

After leaving the canyon, a large area of ​​brown land appeared before him, stretching endlessly, desolate and magnificent.

"Yes, it is the Western Wilderness. I never thought that I would be able to come back one day." Hesa ​​nodded.

He was not unfamiliar with this place, as the Kingdom of Intelligent Orcs bordered it.

They share the same land.

"Hesa, from now on, the life and death of our team is in your hands." Raven said solemnly.

"I know that Zhimin might have made a huge mistake by sending us to the Western Wasteland."

"Well, we have quite a few wounded, and the air cavalry are running out of crossbows. I hope we don't run into any large tribes."

"I'll try to avoid them."

In the desolate wilderness, the blood-red sunset stretched everyone's shadows long, adding a bit of solemnity.

At night, a camp with a bonfire attracted everyone.

From a distance, this is the gathering place of the Heiteng warrior tribe.

Hesa personally investigated and found that there were only a small number of adult warriors inside, and more were elderly people and children.

"Boss, there aren't many fighters inside, so we can start fighting."

"attack!"

The battle ended quickly, and all the resisting Heiteng warriors were killed, leaving only the children behind.

"Boss, what should we do with them?" Hesa ​​asked with murderous eyes.

He couldn't help but think of the day his sister was beheaded.

Zhimin did not leave any survivors.

There were a dozen little black kids, not even as tall as Raven's waist, all of them were breathing heavily and looking at everyone with hatred on their faces.

Raven sighed. In time, when these children grow up, they will become a great enemy of the human race.

But if he were asked to do it now, he really couldn't bear it.

After all, they are still children.

Even if they are from a different race, they are still young and fragile.

"Knock them out and don't let them know where we are going." Raven finally made up his mind.

"But once the aliens catch up with us, these guys will still reveal a lot of our information." Hesa ​​said indignantly.

"Let's do this and give our warriors some dignity."

"What Monroe said is true. I have killed all their men, so why would I be afraid of a few immature kids?"

Guy spat violently, with blood foam in it.

He was also seriously injured during the battle.

Guy's words were agreed by many cavalrymen.

"Okay, let's do as the boss says."

Half a day later, Tira's team arrived at the camp.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, his face turned ashen.

When he saw a dozen living little Heiteng children, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"For this reason, I will give you a dignified death."

Tira sneered, blood flashed in his eyes, and shouted:

"Notify other tribes that there are invaders. Join me in encircling and suppressing them." Soon, more than twenty people from the Huangyou tribe left the team and ran in all directions.

puff!
Riven's sword pierced through the chest of a powerful Shadow Wolf Rider, but he himself was also stabbed in the abdomen.

This was his fourth battle since entering the Western Wilderness, and his opponent was a group of intelligent people.

Unlike the wise people on the Pas Plain, they only wore simple leather armor.

Rather than being warriors, they seemed more like a group put together at the last minute.

Moreover, among this group of four to five hundred intelligent people, half of them were elderly and young Shadow Hunting Wolf Riders.

There were less than two hundred real adult warriors.

But unexpectedly, their fighting power was exceptionally strong.

Although their weapons and leather armor were very simple, they all charged towards him fearlessly, even risking their lives for his.

Although Riven's team was elite, they had many wounded and suffered some losses after this battle.

Just when Raven couldn't understand why the other party was fighting so hard, the answer was revealed.

After climbing over a hill, he saw a settlement.

Only the female Jimin and the child were left inside.

They were fleeing in panic into the wilderness.

"I see."

Raven was silent.

Those wise men just now were not only besieging them, but also protecting their own offspring.

"Boss, what shall I do? It's up to you." Hesa ​​shrugged.

"They no longer pose a threat. If they leave the gathering place, the dangers in the wilderness may take their lives." Angel said in a deep voice.

Although they are from different tribes, An Qi doesn't want to kill these children.

She has matured a lot, and there is a sense of authority in her speech.

"Listen to Angie." Raven said calmly.

What followed was continuous encirclement and counter-encirclement.

Under the leadership of Hesa, the team struggled forward towards the south.

Liang River runs through half of the Western Wilderness and is the mother river that feeds thousands of tribes.

However, its water is not clear, but extremely turbid. But the advantage is that the water flow is abundant and keeps flowing.

Water is precious in Xihuang, so many tribes, large and small, gather on both sides of Liang River.

A battle had just ended at a shallow beach downstream of the river.

The bodies of nearly a hundred Violent Rock Clan warriors lay in disarray by the river, their blood seeping into the Liang River.

"Rest here and cross the river in an hour." Raven said expressionlessly.

Countless battles had already made him as hard as a rock, making him calm in the face of any emergency.

Everyone hurriedly took off their armor and began to clean their wounds quickly.

Since entering the Western Wilderness, they have been fighting fiercely for several days in a row and have only encountered this one water source, so they are much more relaxed than usual.

Of course, that was with the air cavalry on guard.

"Raven, Yellin is dying." Lanster said in a deep voice.

Raven had just finished a piece of thunder cutting, and his hands trembled when he heard this.

What he worried about most happened.

In the previous series of battles, Yelin was seriously injured.

But the holy powers of the two priests had been exhausted long ago, and Torres had also run out of energy. Without adequate treatment, his injuries became increasingly serious.

In this battle, in order to cover the cavalry in the rear, Yellin was hit hard again and finally could not hold on.

Yellin was nearly unconscious when Raven reached him.

"Raven, while I am still...conscious, pull out the...holy punishment implanted in my body and give it to...someone who needs it."

"Yelin, hold on for a while longer, everything will be fine."

“My situation… ahem… I know it best.

The time I spent in Lentini was the most fulfilling time of my life.

Thank you...thank you. I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey. Let's get started."

"You can't give up, we will definitely save you!"

"Raven, when did you become such a bitch? Don't let me down."

Raven held Ye Lin's hand with a sad look on his face:
"Brother, we will always remember you and everything you have done for Dante and Lentini."

Not long after, a complete set of holy punishment was taken out from Yelin's arm.

Yellin's condition was even worse. With his last breath, he thrust his sword into the wasteland and growled:
"This sword has killed countless enemies, and now it will be buried with me in a foreign land. From now on, my heroic soul will be alone and I will have no regrets. Hahaha!"

Yelin vomited a large mouthful of blood and gradually died.
