In fact, the solution is very simple, that is, to hide for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere are mountains and forests on both sides of the road, so it is difficult to spot as long as you hide in it and use magic to change the terrain. Beta planned to hide here for four or five days, while Jeanne d'Arc had been scouting from high altitudes, and if there was any ambush ahead, she would be able to see a clue in four or five days.

In this way, Beta and the others hid in the mountain forest on the side of the road, and Shirley changed the map nearby, forming an environment similar to a small basin at the foot of the mountain, and moved some big trees to cover the small basin tightly, even from the air, the situation below could not be seen.

The envoys had no opinion on this, and they knew very well how dangerous the mission was, and since the head of the mission had made a decision with safety as the first element, they naturally had no reason to oppose it.

Besides, they carry a lot of baggage, and there is no problem in delaying it for a few more days.

For the first two days, the road was quiet, and the occasional smuggling caravan passed by, but nothing was noticed. On the third day...... The atmosphere in the envoy group was a little bleak, and many people wondered if the head of the regiment was too sensitive.

But Beta suppressed their opinions, for Joan of Arc had spotted the occasional figure in the forest two kilometers ahead.

"They're going to lose their breath." Beta withdrew from the psychic connection and said to Fahu: "You take the cavalry regiment, go up five hundred meters, set up an ambush in the forest, bring more baggage, and once you find that they are attacking us, you will directly resist the charge from behind." ”

Fa Ti was very excited, nodded, and was about to leave with his subordinates.

Beta said to Bart, "You go and protect Fahu...... lest he be killed by stray arrows, or ranged magic. ”

Bart shrugged, although he didn't have a good impression of the nobles, Faxiu was polite and not domineering on this journey, so he felt that it was acceptable for him to protect Fahu.

When Fahu, Barth, and the cavalry team left, Beta said to his feet: "Sophia, you go to the front to reconnoitre, pay attention to the enemy's movements, you don't need to take the initiative to reconnoiter them, just jam the field of vision about a kilometer ahead, and report to me immediately if you find the enemy's tracks." ”

A black shadow broke away from his feet and retreated into the depths of the mountain forest.

"Jessica, you walk around the camp and tell me if something is wrong."

When the little maid Jessica heard this order, she was very excited, nodded and ran out directly. She has werewolf blood and a very good sense of smell, and will be the first to notice if an enemy is close to the camp.

After giving the order, Beta began to close his eyes and rest. Now that the enemy has appeared, and his arrangement has been ordered, the next thing is to wait, wait for the enemy to crash into the door by himself.

The next day, as soon as the sky was light, a black streak of black came silently against the ground, and before it could get close, Beta and Shirley, who were resting with their eyes closed, opened their eyes at the same time.

The black shadow approached, turning back into Sophia's appearance, even if she was wearing leather armor and a bandeau chest, it couldn't hide her stiff chest.

"The enemy is coming." Sophia gasped slightly and said, "There are about more than a hundred people, judging from the outfit, they should be mercenaries." ”

Beta nodded her head in understanding, and Sophia turned into a dark shadow and re-entered the shadow beneath his feet.

Then Beta gestured to the legations, Shirley withdrew the surrounding terrain magic, and the diplomats and ceremonies got into the carriages, and before long, only a dozen wagons and a convoy of baggage reappeared on the road.

The atmosphere in the convoy was dreary, and no one spoke. Everyone knows that now they are bait, waiting for the fish in front of them to bite the hook.

If they had some self-protection ability, they wouldn't be so afraid, but they were just ordinary people, and it was okay for the ceremonial officer to scare ordinary civilians, but for nobles, professionals, and mercenaries, there was no deterrent at all.

The convoy slowly moved forward, and the horses pulling the horses spewed white mist, and there was a thin layer of snow on the road, which did not affect the movement of the convoy.

In a dull atmosphere, the convoy walked for about half an hour, and then Beta, who had been riding a horse to the front, suddenly raised his hand to signal the convoy to stop.

The road ahead was empty, but anyone with a little experience of going out felt something unusual. Because even in this cold weather, there will still be living creatures in the woods, and occasionally wolves howl and birds chirp.

But here, there was no sound at all, as if there were no living creatures.

The convoy stopped, and Beta made a backward gesture, and according to the arrangement not long ago, the ceremonial officers immediately feigned panic, and turned the carriage to go back.

Seeing that the prey was about to run away, the hunters hiding in the woods finally couldn't bear it, and they rushed out with their weapons in hand.

Beta stepped back slowly, his eyes fixed on the group of enemies rushing out of the trees. It was found that they were very mixed, some were dressed in fine leather armor and carried stainless steel weapons, and some were unclothed and rushed out with a wooden stick.

Obviously, this is an improvised team.

Beta flicked her fingers, and Shirley immediately summoned an earthen wall, hastily summoned an earthen wall, just long enough to seal the entire road, but the height was only about two meters, and the thickness was only about thirty centimeters.

"They have magicians."

"The earthen wall is not thick, and it is washed away." A man who clearly looked like a leader shouted.

Beta casts her gaze and sees a bearded man giving orders. He smashed a small section of the earthen wall with a sledgehammer, and the appearance appeared right at the entrance of the cave, so it was very conspicuous.

The earthen wall soon became fragmented by brute force, and the ceremonial officers of the diplomatic corps accelerated their retreat, even if they were acting, they were really afraid of such a scene in their hearts.

But there was one carriage that didn't back off, and that was the carriage in which Perisnan and the maiden Susan were, and they had confidence in Beta.

Then, the earthen wall officially collapsed, and the group of mercenaries who made temporary cameo appearances as robbers let out an excited roar of excitement, intending to pounce on them and snatch the loot, while Shirley gained the most attention.

Almost all the robbers set their eyes on her, after all, such a beauty, whether she snatched it as a wife by herself or took it out to sell, it was an excellent thing.

But just as they were about to act, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and after just a few seconds, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder.

They tried to evacuate, but Shirley waved again, and two long earthen walls were vertical, blocking both sides of the road, still not too high or too thick, but it would take some time to get past them, or break them.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the ground was trembling.

Now the group of robbers had only two choices, either to retreat and fight hard with the cavalry in a state of charge, or to move forward, break through the carriage formation of the envoys in front, and then flee.
