Volume 2 Chapter 137 - Beastmen Independence Regiment (1/2)

There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky tonight, so the moonlight wasn’t that bright.

Adding in the fact that the Black Rice Wasteland wasn’t as illuminated as Banta City, when night came, there was only the flames of the bonfires at the caravan’s camp site on the entire plains.

This was a vast and empty area, so these bonfires were the most obvious goals. It guided the surrounding beastmen who already couldn’t control themselves.

In the deathly silence around them, there was suddenly a long wolf roar before there were echoes that sounded on the plains, as if countless horses were charging across it.

Hearing this sound, chairman Renersa’s expression changed.

“This is bad! It’s actually the ox beastmen!”

As soon as this voice fell, there were a large mass of dark shadows that appeared in the distance. They were charging forward with a wild aura.

At the same time, there were countless shadows that appeared around them. Some were tall and some were thin, but they all revealed a sharp and fierce aura.

“Chairman, it seems to be the Beastmen Independence Regiment!” A Renekton Chamber of Commerce shouted to chairman Renersa with a shocked look.

Chairman Renersa’s expression changed again.

Xu Yi on the side asked in surprise, “What is the Beastmen Independence Regiment?”

“It’s a group on the Black Rice Wasteland who aren’t willing to accept humans, but they’re actually a group of beastmen bandits. But they are different from the other beastmen who rob human caravans, these fellows have a deep hatred for humans and they will kill all the humans in the caravan when they attack. The royal army had encircled them many times before and I thought that since they hadn’t appeared in a while, they had disappeared, but I never thought…..they would suddenly appear.”

Seeing the dark expression on chairman Renersa’s face, Xu Yi asked, “Are they very strong?”

Chairman Renersa looked at the quickly approaching beastmen with a bitter smile, “There’s this many of them, can they not be strong?”

Xu Yi wanted to ask something else, but there were countless arrows that suddenly flew through the sky. Then there were a group of beastmen who were still two hundred meters away that all fell down.

Chairman Renersa was stunned before revealing a look of joy. He forcefully grabbed Xu Yi’s shoulder, “It’s a good thing that chairman Xu brought fifty elven guards, otherwise we might have died here tonight!”

Compared to humans, although most beastmen had an advantage at night, if one really wanted to compare battle efficiency at night, how could beastmen compare to elves that were called the children of the night.

Although everything was complete darkness, under Furio’s instructions, the fifty elves released their feathered arrows and the beastmen fell one by one.

To honour her cooperation with Xu Yi, the fifty warriors were the strongest elven warriors picked out by elder Illusia, so there was no need to doubt their battle strength.

Once the battle began, they immediately revealed a battle strength that far surpassed human warriors.

But there were too many beastmen who were attacking. Although the fifty elves could take out a beastman with each arrow, the killing power of a bow ended there and they couldn’t stop the beastmen from approaching.

In the blink of an eye, the beastman in front was already less than a hundred meters away from the caravan. They could even see the fierce wolf head of the beastman charging at them.

Seeing this, chairman Renersa let out a sigh, “It’s a pity that those noble magicians look down on our company, otherwise if we had some powerful magicians, it would be even better.”

When chairman Renersa was prepared to order his guards to attack the beastmen, Xu Yi suddenly gave a laugh from beside him. Then he saw a giant fireball that was as tall as a person suddenly fly out, landing on the dense group of beastmen in front.

“Hong!”

The giant fireball suddenly exploded in between the beastmen.

With this large sound, there were countless beastmen that were blown away by the force of the explosion.

Sparks flew all around and countless beastmen were set on fire.

In just the blink of an eye, the beastmen charging in chairman Renersa’s direction were completely routed.

Chairman Renersa suddenly turned to look at Xu Yi and saw him throwing out another giant fireball.

After being stunned, chairman Renersa finally understood.

After being with Xu Yi for this long, he always treated Xu Yi as the chairman of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. But he had completely forgotten that Xu Yi had another identity, a powerful magician!

Although chairman Renersa didn’t know what grade magician Xu Yi was, for him to be able to casually throw out such a powerful fireball, his grade wouldn’t be low.

The more important thing was that there was actually the existence of a magician among the guards of the caravan.

It had to be known, the magicians had a lofty position on the Sines Continent because magicians were powerful and they had a very important use during battle.

It was because of this that many famous companies would invite magicians as special guards.

Although chairman Renersa had wanted to invite some magicians to be guards for the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, low grade magicians didn’t matter and magicians that were strong enough for companies to invite looked down on the Renekton Chamber of Commerce. So the Renekton Chamber of Commerce’s guards never had a magician.
