Chapter 36 Waiting for an Opportunity

A flatbed cart pulled by a horse left the camp of the Warren defenders. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The driver was a soldier captain, dressed in leather armor and a long sword at his belt, while Tosta, who had assassinated Mary on the flatbed, was knocked unconscious and placed on it.

The carriage traveled along the straight road.

Without the slightest obstacle, we soon reached the agreed location: the midpoint of the road connecting Thunder Fortress and Raldry.

Because of the particularity of the Thunder Fortress, this road is not only wide, but also very smooth, and the woods on both sides are deliberately cut down and arranged.

Therefore, the soldier commander standing here can clearly see the surroundings.

"I have come with His Majesty's will!"

The soldier shouted loudly.

The voice was loud and seemed to be brave, but the knuckles of the fingers holding the sword were white.

Obviously, the soldier is not as fearless as he seems.

The voice fell, and after a moment's wait, no one answered.

The soldier frowned and shouted again.

Several times in a row, no one answered.

On the empty and deserted road in the middle of the night, the promised person did not appear, only the gentle night wind blew, and from time to time there was a beast roar.

The soldier swallowed and foamed.

The tension could no longer be suppressed.

Suddenly!

Footsteps rang out behind him.

The soldier commander subconsciously wanted to turn around, but a dagger was even faster, directly cutting the soldier's throat.

The tension on his face remained, and the horror had just surfaced.

But when the blood spurted, the vitality was rapidly draining.

"It was really only a nobody...... The effect of the adult's old suspicion array is really good! I'm afraid that 2567 is still worried that this is a tiger away from the mountain! ”

A dark figure rubbed the blood-stained dagger against the soldier's leather armor.

The other shadow behind him chuckled.

The laughter was full of lightness and casualness.

"The steppe people are a pack of hungry wolves, and if they have the chance, anyone will take a bite!"

"Although that 2567 is very powerful, but leading a group of remnants of the defeated army, what can he do?"

"No, no, it can't be said that the remnants of the army are defeated, with the departure of those nobles, how can there be generals, they are all a group of soldiers!"

"Let's take Tosta back first—my lord is curious about the origin of this traitor...... It's ...... that there are traitors in our snake faction once again Hey! ”

The snake faction who killed the soldier commander was even more respectful of the adult in his mouth.

However, soon he sneered again and again, and his gaze at the unconscious Tosta was even more full of murderous intent.

No one likes betrayal.

Especially those who have been betrayed.

After hearing the words of his companion, the snake sect member who was the first to speak did not hesitate, and grabbed directly towards Tosta, but his palm passed through Tosta's body.

Illusion?!

The two snake faction people reacted after being stunned for a moment.

But the soldiers who 'fall' grow faster.

Silently, illusion enveloped the two of them.

The two who resisted violently one moment were only sluggish the next moment.

"Your Excellency!"

The 'Bloody Mary', who had lifted her disguise, looked at Qin Ran who came out of the shadows on one side and saluted respectfully.

"Take them back to camp and put them in Fink's custody!"

Qin Ran commanded.

"Yes!"

With the existence of the [Fan Toth Manuscript], the high evil spirits did not have any resistance.

Looking at the appearance of the high-level evil spirit driving away quickly, Qin Ran nodded secretly.

"A great helper with 250 points every 10 minutes...... Cheap and fine! ”

Qin Ran commented like this.

Bloody Mary is not only able to transform the appearance of any person, but also has extremely powerful illusion abilities, which is really not too easy to use in the face of enemies who are not good at mental and perceptual.

Similarly, for Qin Ran, who is accustomed to 'walking alone', he is a rare helper like the fire crow who investigates.

It was as if at this moment, Qin Ran, who had a heart-to-heart with the fire crow, saw Luo Ke's predicament.

"Is it finally out of hiding?"

"Deliberately leaking Tosta's identity to the people of the Snake Sect and letting them take the initiative to 'provoke' me not only attracted my attention, but also attracted the attention of the Snake Faction, and then removed the obstacles as quickly as possible...... Mary's secret is really fascinating! ”

Qin Ran muttered to himself in a low voice.

Then, he quickly disappeared into the darkness on the side.

He needs to speed up.

Because, a new system prompt has appeared.

【Discovery Side Quest: Rescue Roque】

[Rescue Roque: Although there is your reminder, the unexpected appearance of a third party caught the court wizard off guard, he is in critical condition at the moment and needs your rescue!] Be careful, if you fail, your reputation and prestige in Warren's garrison will be affected! 】

……

"Damn it!"

Roque clutched the bleeding wound on his left shoulder, recalling the scene with palpitations.

Pushing open the door, it was a sudden sword, if it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have been pierced through the throat at this moment and became a corpse.

But now the situation is not much better.

With a shoulder injury, Roque had a hard time casting spells and counterattacking.

In fact, even if it is intact, it is difficult to do it under the constant pursuit of the other party.

The strength of a wizard is built on spells.

If you can't cast a spell, everything will be nothing.

Call!

Taking a deep breath, Roque began to run again.

The court wizard knew that if he didn't want to die, he had to run.

At least run to a place where there are city guards to be able to get a glimmer of life.

However, Roque's footsteps soon stopped.

Because, there are also footsteps ahead.

Not alone.

At least five or more people.

Messy, hurried.

Without hesitation, Roque ducked in a shadow with the moonlight, and a few clusters of powder popped out in his right hand, masking the smell of blood.

As for the blood on the ground?

Roque didn't have time to cover up.

One can only hope that when it gets dark, people will not be able to see it.

After a breath, a man dressed in a crimson robe and wearing a crimson scarf appeared in Roque's field of vision.

The situation on the other side is terrible.

A short crossbow bolt was stuck in his back, and the crimson robe near the wound was blackened.

The subtle pungent smell made Roque, who was hiding, frown.

Poison!

Deadly poison!

The court wizard was curious about what was going on with this person who was also hunted down, but his own state kept the court wizard silent.

There are no superfluous thoughts, just to save your life!

Whew! Whew!

The spread of the toxin caused Celti's physical strength to drain quickly.

Even, you can feel a trace of coldness in your body.

Celti knew that he had to speed up, otherwise it would be difficult to survive even if he got rid of the pursuers behind him.

Thinking of this, Celti's speed couldn't help but be a little faster.

But the speed that had just accelerated immediately slowed down.

Or more accurately, Celti stopped altogether.

Because, in front of him appeared a man with a long sword in his hand.

The men chasing Serti also stopped.

Their gaze scanned back and forth between Selti and the sword-wielder.

And so do the sword-wielders.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely eerie. (To be continued.) )
