I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 318 - 189: One by One, They’re All Fat Sheep

Lucas and the others watching from the shadows naturally noticed the range of Bridges and his group, and their hearts leapt with joy.

With full patience, they waited, meanwhile silently calculating the distance between the two parties in their minds.

He was truly curious to see how far the other party’s equipment could reach?

At this moment, the forest was deathly silent, as if the only sounds were the breaths of the people within.

But the quieter it became, the faster Bridges felt his heartbeat quicken. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Unable to resist, Bridges stopped in his tracks, always harboring an ominous premonition.

"Captain, what’s wrong?" a mercenary following beside him asked.

"I just have a bad feeling." Bridges replied.

The mercenary glanced at the map in his hand and responded, "With this equipment, there shouldn’t be a problem. We’ll leave as soon as we scout out the number of beastmen."

Listening to this, Bridges felt considerably more at ease.

The map in his hand was effective within a 100-meter range.

Although short, with their speed, it was no problem to leave before detecting the presence of beastmen.

Bridges continued forward, his gaze fixed tightly on the map in hand.

After walking a short distance, suddenly, Bridges noticed many red dots appearing at the edge of the map.

At the sight of these dots, Bridges immediately exclaimed, "They’ve appeared!"

"How many beastmen are there?"

"Currently, I can see more than thirty, spread out in different directions." Bridges said instinctively, quickly noticing something unusual.

Were the beastmen lying in wait for them?

Since when did beastmen possess such intelligence?

But... they probably didn’t know he had this map in his hand!

A sly smile crossed Bridges’ eyes, as he gestured to the mercenaries beside him, and then the troop advanced a few more steps.

With each step, the number of beastmen on the map increased.

In this way, step by step, they discerned the number of beastmen.

30, 68, 102, 154, 199, 230,...312.

Subsequently, there were no further changes.

beastmen, compared to their nearly six hundred-man mercenary team, they still had an advantage.

After all, the beastmen that roamed the borderlands were basically Basic-Level Warriors.

Even with an aura of invincibility at the same tier and being ten times stronger than one enemy, it was useless in the face of such a huge level gap.

"We’re close enough! We only have a few dozen people." Watching his captain’s excited demeanor, a nearby mercenary reminded him in a low voice.

Handling that with their large troop was the big troop’s business, but this small squad only had so many people.

"I know, retreat!" Bridges quickly ordered.

And just as they turned around, Lucas gave a signal to attack.

The next instant, the roars of Tiger-men and Kobolds erupted on the scene.

Glancing backwards, Bridges and his group saw numerous Tiger-men and Kobolds rushing forth from behind them, their running speed more than double that of the mercenaries.

With so few of them, if they were caught up to, it was all over.

"Use skills, and don’t be afraid to deplete your physical strength!" Bridges shouted.

As mercenaries, they seldom allowed their physical strength to drop to a low point when outside.

Because it was easy to encounter danger when one was out of strength, as sometimes the tide of battle could change in the blink of an eye.

Of course, in a life or death situation, it was an exception, like now.

Moreover, the main troop wasn’t far from them, so even if they exhausted their physical strength, drinking a Physical Strength Potion would restore it.

So the only thought in their minds right now was to run!

And at this time, shouts of beastmen resounded from behind them.

A group of Tiger-man warriors indeed led the way, and within a short time, they laid hands on the last of the mercenaries.

"Ah!"

Along with screams, several mercenaries behind them were instantly taken captive.

And those screams, like a catalyst, made Bridges and the others run even faster, all the while continuing to throw items behind them in an attempt to slow down the beastmen’s pursuit.

This move was "effective"; some beastmen couldn’t dodge in time and were hit squarely, which directly slowed them down.

In just a few moments, they had arrived at the ambush spot where Turner and Walt and the others were concealed.

Watching them pass by in front of them, they had to exert great effort to suppress their instincts to not intercept, watching helplessly as Bridges took the lead in escaping.

Of course, they captured about a dozen captives.

As soon as the figures of Bridges and the others disappeared from view, Tena and Walt and the others immediately revealed themselves.
