Chapter 291: Nightfall

Although Fren has always been following Qurieta's instructions and trying to spy on Rod, how can he spy on Rod?

As early as when all the sentinels were retreating according to the command, Rhodes had already turned into a sea crow and had a clear idea of the arrangement of the Noxus convoy.

Rhodes knew exactly where the real camp was and where the Fendo light horses were being protected - just now, when the special operations team sent by Quaretta to help Rhodes caught Dreynor's attention, Rhodes gave the signal.

The Bilgewater who were ambushed farther away...... Sortie.

Muskets and scimitars, these are Bilgewater's most iconic weapons.

This time, it was none other than Bill Gewert's No. 2 person, Miss Sarah's deputy, Queen of Doom.

Raven had already arrived with the Siren's elite first—they were lying in ambush under a cliff, far from the battlefield and completely unnoticed by the Noxians.

These Bilgewater people don't make a move, and when they do, it's a hail of bullets.

The special operations team and the transport team that were originally fighting together were suddenly a little sluggish - what is the situation, how can there be a third team in this barren mountains and mountains?!

There was no time for them to think about it, and the two armies that were already mixed together couldn't be separated at the moment - and of course, the Birgewater didn't give them time to think about it.

Raven didn't have many men, but they carried weapons and ammunition of an extraordinary size.

What's more, they have Rhodes.

Seeing his men arrive, Rhodes fell directly back to the ground.

The next moment, the raging flames directly ignited the entire battlefield.

Rod's flames don't have the mechanics of teammate protection, and the flames of Safron burn the Noxians of the transport team, and it also makes the special operations team worse than dead.

Under Rhodes' control, the flames turned into waving tentacles and smashed into them

It's the height of summer, and it's hard to set the trees on fire, but under the scorching flames of Suffron, the entire canyon seems to be drained from top to bottom.

What's even more terrifying is that beyond the flames, countless Bilgewater pirates are shooting non-stop, and ammunition is pouring down as if they don't want money.

It has to be said that it is ironic that the two parties, who were still trying to fight each other, have become the victims at the same time.

What's worse is that both the transport brigade and the assault squad are seriously lacking in long-range strike weapons - the transport brigade only has a small number of light crossbows to fight back, and the assault squad can only throw and fire the weapons in their hands!

This sporadic counterattack could hardly even make a small wave in the face of the musket volley of the Bilgewaters!

Under the indiscriminate attacks of Rhodes' spells and the Bilgewaters, both the assault team and the transport brigade soon couldn't hold on.

When the team had been reduced by more than half, the Noxians finally stopped fighting back and began to retreat.

"I hope the road back is not broken......"

But since Rhodes has already made a move, why is he not fully prepared?

Seeing that the Noxians turned around and left, Rhodes and the Bilgewater pirates had no intention of chasing, and simply continued to strike at long range.

And the Noxians who fled in a hurry soon had to retreat to their original place - the narrow valley mouth had been completely blocked, and at this moment, everyone was a turtle in an urn!

The outcome of the battle did not surprise Rhodes.

When the voice of surrender with a thick Bilgewater accent sounded, the Noxians quickly became Rhodes' captives.

For the Noxians, surrendering under the right circumstances was not a wrong thing to do - the current enemy was far superior to their own, and blindly resisting would only bring more casualties, and a temporary surrender would not only save their lives, but more importantly, the Fendo horses.

At this time, Drenaud had basically judged the enemy's target, and judging from the process and results of the engagement, their target was those Fendo light horses!

Temporary surrender and protection of these war horses, this is what Dreyno should do, they are transport troops, not death vanguards!

Under Dreynor's command and representation, all the Noxians surrendered.

On the other side, the death squad also received instructions to surrender in a daze and laid down their weapons.

A few little mice slipped away – but for Rod, that was a good thing.

Soon, the Beagles, driven unscathed by the Fendo horses and the captives bound in a long line, passed the Cullo Trail day and night, bypassing Locrond, boarding a ship, and heading straight east to ride the waves.

……………………

Lokrond had been waiting for the transport force - but at the appointed time, they had not seen the transport force.

The lord of Lolond immediately sent scouts to search the trail along the Kulo Trail, only to find only ashes all over the ground.

Faced with this situation, the scout troops returned directly to Lokronde, and after hearing the report, the dumbfounded Lord Loclond sent a team to conduct a large-scale search of the incident while briefly explaining what had happened to Svein, who was far away at the headquarters, through Noxtola.

The results of the search were unsatisfactory - except for a few convoy soldiers who narrowly escaped, nothing else was found.

And in the mouths of these soldiers, Lord Lolond learned about the attack on the transport troops.

That's a big deal!

Right inside Noxus, an armed transport force of four thousand men disappeared silently - even the few who escaped didn't even know who the enemy was!

While the soldiers had all the descriptions of flames, smoke, blades, and gunfire for that night, what was the point of these descriptions?

Who doesn't know that the mages of all Valorans use the most flames?

Who doesn't know that you need to use a blade in melee combat?

Who doesn't know that muskets are the most used ranged weapons?

With just the flames and smoke, who knows who the enemy is?!

However, after repeated questioning, the Noxians did not find nothing - at least they knew that there were actually two groups of people who were eyeing the supplies, one was a smaller number of elite troops, who came from wherever they came, and the other spoke with a Bilgewater accent.

Things are going beyond the reach of a lord - although this matter is technically within Locrond's jurisdiction, I am afraid that Lolond alone will not be able to solve this trouble.

Soon, Nox Storea also heard from Svein.

"Wait a minute, someone will take care of this soon."
