The bandit leader said something bad secretly: "No, this guy is much more difficult to deal with than the Royal Tutor. We can't grab this batch today." He glanced and saw the injured Royal Tutor getting up from the ground, and immediately changed to defensive mode.
He retreated, fought his injuries to escape Bing Zhixie's persecution, and blew the black horn hanging on his waist.
When the bandits who were fighting fiercely heard the sound of the horn, they immediately abandoned their opponents and fled into the forest. In a moment, they all disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.
Everyone was stunned for a while before they came back to their senses.
The leader of the lynx said: "These people come and go without hesitation. Could it be that Sindermore's regular army is disguised as bandits to rob merchants?"
A teacher said: "No, the empire's army would not do such a thing."
The Falcon jumped down from the sky and said, "Maybe. The army pretending to be bandits and robbing caravans has happened more than once or twice. I think these people are well-trained, and they are probably the regular army of Sindmore."
"Mentor..." The teacher of the archaeological team was very concerned about the situation of the royal mentor.
"I'm fine." The Royal Tutor waved his hand to them, and the light in front of his palm moved, and a layer of water mist enveloped the wounds on his body.
Everyone was on alert for a while, and then sent people to check both sides of the mountain and forest. After making sure that the bandits who had robbed them were gone, they felt at ease and hurriedly rescued and treated the dead and injured on the ground.
"What are you doing?" The lynx leader, who was sorting out the team situation, saw Bing Zhixie squatting on the ground looking at the body left by the bandit.
Bing Zhixie didn't seem to hear what he said.
The lynx leader was a little unhappy and turned away.
Bing Zhixie turned over the corpses of each bandit one by one and said, "They are not ordinary bandits. These people are very powerful, especially the three leaders. The two magicians, one ice and one fire, are definitely very powerful."
For powerful people, the elemental celestial magic they cast is greatly affected by the caster's control and elemental affinity. A slight mistake will lead to tragic disasters. Experienced old magicians do not dare to use it easily. They actually dare to use it with two people.
Unless you have great trust and understanding of the other party's ability, you would not dare to do such a thing. Also, the magician with fiery red hair, his magic power can be so deep that the magic power can overflow. Such a talent can also
He should be an ordinary bandit. As for the big boss who blows the horn, he is even more of a master. Are they really officers of Sindmore?"
He shook his head and denied in his mind: "Probably not. Although no clues about their identities were found on their bodies, it is unlikely that the soldiers were pretending to be soldiers. Saint Vicoia's army can fight well, and their military discipline should be
It is very strict, and this is not some small country or rural place. These people are all capable talents. If they are soldiers, they should not bet their future on this."
Everyone's minds calmed down and everyone started to tidy up and get busy.
The housekeeper said to Gichel: "Almost all the trucks carrying goods were destroyed. Master Gichel, what do you think we should do?"
Gichel looked at the fragments of carriages and horses everywhere and the dead bodies of the cart pullers and said: "There is no way, it is impossible to carry so much goods to Sindmoor by manpower. Butler, you take some people to the city to rent a car immediately, we
Find a place nearby to wait for you to come back."
"I'm afraid it's not safe to stay here. What if bandits come again?" the housekeeper said.
Jichel shook his head: "There is no other choice but this, you go now."
"Yes." The butler immediately ordered a few people to go to Hindmoor to hire a carriage.
"Take care of the wounded, pack up all the goods on the ground, quickly." Someone from the guard commanded.
Ruola was relieved when she saw that her mentor's injury was not serious, "Hey, where is he?" She just saw Bing Zhixie checking the corpses of the bandits nearby, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. When she looked again, she saw more than just
It's Bing Zhixie, and even the shadow is gone.
In a mountain col five kilometers away, the bandits gathered together again.
"Damn it, we had a good plan, but it failed, and we lost so many brothers!"
Another person said: "It's useless for you to be angry. We'll wait until Deputy Captain Ronis comes."
The blue-staffed monk lying on a large rock suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Kulbert..." The bandits quickly gathered around and used various methods to treat the Blue Staff monk.
Coulbert's armor was stained red with blood, and his body was covered with bloody holes as big as his fingers. He coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, this kind of light magic can't kill me yet."
The Red Staff Mage was also seriously injured, but his condition was better than that of Culbert. At least he could still sit on the stone and smoke.
"The deputy commander is here."
A figure flew down from the hill. He threw the horn in his hand to the brother next to him and asked: "Ryan, how is the situation?"
Ryan is the Red Wand Magician. He said: "Twelve of them didn't come back."
Ronis sighed: "Have you lost so many brothers?"
Everyone felt sad for a while.
Ronis said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I was careless this time. I didn't fully understand the situation. There were actually two magicians in the caravan. I am still fully confident in dealing with the royal mentor, but I have to add one more...
"
A bandit said: "It's not your fault, deputy captain. We went to inquire about the situation and didn't find out. It's our responsibility to kill our brothers. Please punish us!"
Ronis said: "Now that the matter has come out, it is not the time to hold anyone accountable."
Colbert asked: "Deputy leader,...ahem...we are now..."
"You are injured, don't say anything." Ronis said: "This time the attack failed, the caravan has been alert, and it is impossible to set up a trap and ambush again."
Ryan said: "Deputy leader, let's not talk here anymore. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Brothers are all injured. We'd better disperse for the time being. Let some brothers pay more attention to the situation of other caravans on the road. The specific situation will be discussed later.
Let’s discuss it again.”
Ronis nodded: "Yeah, that's fine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These people said a few more words and quickly dispersed.
Shadow squatted behind the branches of an old tree and understood the following conversation clearly. It turned out that after the bandits hurriedly evacuated, he had been following them with his shadow ability and followed them here.
Not long after the bandits left, Bing Zhixie arrived.
"Why are you here too?" Ying jumped down from the tree and looked at him.
Bingzhixie said: "This is very interesting, isn't it?"
Ying smiled: "That's not the reason. You've never liked to meddle in other people's business, so why are you interested in them now? Or are you saying you don't want to stay with that woman in the caravan anymore?"
"Can you stop being so boring?" Bing Zhixie said: "From their conversation, they are indeed going there for the caravan's goods."
Shadow said: "I just told their leader to pay more attention to the situation of other caravans on the road. This means that they are not hired by others to specifically target the Jisel caravan, but are here for money."
"I'm here for the money." Bingzhixie said, "The distance is almost there. Any further away and the shadow will be out of control. Let's split up and follow him to have a look."
Ying didn't wait for Bing Zhixie to finish speaking, and flew towards the bandit leader Ronis. Bing Zhixie had to take a look at one of their deputy leaders.
Because Hindmore is located in the west of the mainland, the night comes a little later (a matter of longitude and latitude). In addition, it is midsummer at this time, and it does not get dark until after eight o'clock.
Before he knew it, it was night. The stars in the sky were vast, and the dazzling Milky Way illuminated the night sky into dark blue. The shadow was tracking in the forest. Not long ago, the three shadows he controlled were all eliminated by Ronis, and now Ronis has been lost.
traces of.
The strange monster made a strange cry, and Ying lit the fire to check for nearby traces: "Ronis's vigilance is high enough. Even though I was so careful, he still discovered me."
Although the woods here are not remote, they are not a place where people come often. In addition, the trees provide shade, and many tree trunks are covered with dried moss and soil. Shadows have not found traces on the ground, but they can be seen on several trees.
When he reached the footprints, he smiled and followed the direction of the footsteps.
After chasing for about half an hour, Ying saw a small village and said, "Hey, this village doesn't seem to be on the map." But he didn't find it strange. His map was bought from other places, and there was no such small forest marked on it.
This is a normal thing in a village. But he is still very careful. A village with bandits is likely to be a bandit village.
He controlled the shadow to enter the village for a while and looked at it. Contrary to what the shadow feared, this was just a very ordinary village. The houses made of logs and the villagers looked very ordinary. Many residents had piles of logs and logs outside their doors.
Saw for peeling and peeling wood.
"It turns out to be a small logging village." Ying thought to himself, "Why did he, a bandit, come here?"
Because it was still late, many people in the village had not rested. Some villagers were still working in front of the door, while more people were chatting and playing cards together.
Ying saw the bandit leader Ronis having fun among the people playing cards.
The place where cards are played is under the eaves of a house. The eaves are very wide, more like a corridor. There are three spar lamps on the wall and roof, which are very bright.
Ronis also spotted Ying, but his expression was normal and he was still laughing and joking. I don’t know if he didn’t recognize Ying or if he deliberately pretended not to recognize him.
The situation is obviously the latter. For people like him, even if they only meet once, they will remember the other person's appearance clearly, not to mention that this person was just a few hours ago.
Ying smiled lightly and walked towards him. Those who were watching the card game also looked at Ying.
In this small village in the mountains and forests, few people usually come. The sudden appearance of an outsider will of course attract the attention of others, not to mention it is still at night. However, they are not old enough to watch the movie, so they don't pay much attention.
I smoked cigarettes and continued to watch the card games. Only a few old people and women were bored and asked where the shadow came from.
