Chapter 0053 Who is the enemy

Mook, the leader of the Redbeard Bandits, did not have a big red beard, and he was a dwarven who liked to smear the blood of his enemies on his gray beard whenever the battle was at its worst, which earned him the nickname "Redbeard".

Compared to the other two bands of thieves who like to wander and commit crimes, Mook has stationed his lair of more than 900 thieves in a remote valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This valley is moderately close to the trade routes and borders, and it is convenient for him to rob caravans and abscond to other noble territories, which allows him to escape the encirclement and suppression of many royal ** teams, and has become the longest-surviving thief group in Ehuansi County.

But the news he heard in the past two days made Mook restless. Viscount Howighthans, the largest lord of the northern part of Eianshire County, Lord of Dubin, is planning to clear the trade routes again, and he is targeting his own group of red-bearded thieves. Compared with the previous cleanups, the Kingdom Knights were the main force, assisted by the coalition of several major lords in the county, and the thieves were powerless to resist, so they could only hide and escape. But it is rumored that the main force this time is the Viscount's 500 city guards, and a mercenary group of 1,300 people has been hired. Those city guards who can only walk around the city, inspect the city defenses, and oppress the barefoot farmers are just a scumbag outside the city, only the mercenary group of more than 1,300 people still has some combat effectiveness, but it will not let themselves abandon the camp that they just operated!

Mook, who was already a little forward-looking, remembered his colleagues who had secretly come to discuss with him yesterday. The gray wolf and vulture thieves, who usually do not have a harmonious relationship, actually sent their men to persuade them to stick to the camp, and said that as long as they can withstand the attack of the viscount's troops for a day, they will lead people to copy the back road of this army, and after destroying the only mobile force of the viscount, maybe everyone can go to Dubin City to have some fun.

Muck didn't believe in the promises of these two peers. There are more than 700 people in the gray wolf thief group, and a cavalry regiment of more than 100 people is formed with stolen horses, although most of them are horses, which are much worse than the regular cavalry regiments, but they are also unique in this county of Youansi, and their background is probably the famous Haidier Chamber of Commerce specializing in smuggling; And the 600-strong Condor Thieves are even less trustworthy, others may not know, but Muck has a hidden way to learn that the Condor Thieves are most likely funded by Viscount Howhite.

Hehe, what a funny thing, the viscount sent troops to clear himself, but the viscount's secret chess came to persuade him to resist with all his might, it seems that he is really a brainless ogre in the wasteland. Muk spat hatefully, a group of bitches who don't have the guts to cut their mouths, they will only instigate some intrigues behind their backs. It seems that he should talk to the gray wolf at the right time, and he also needs an ally.

Three days passed in a flash, and while Mook was racking his brains for an unpredictable future, the small team of Casas had already set off with the Viscount's coalition. The 500-strong city guard led the team by the knight of the Viscount family, Antok, an orthodox knight with a good knightly education, a middle-aged man with short brown hair and a cold and hard face, even if he was wearing full body armor, his demeanor could reveal a unique fortitude of a soldier, and he left a good impression on the three mages with only a short contact before departure, at least in Li Xun's soul vision, he was still a friendly light green.

The 500-strong city guard escorted the small team of mages in the middle, and handed over the reconnaissance and vigilance tasks to the mercenary group, and walked along the main road of Euance County towards the northwest target.

Although the most likely opportunity for attack was analyzed after the battle, when the mana of the 3 mages was lost by more than half, there was no guarantee that the enemy would not carry out a sudden sneak attack before this, so the guarded knights who had been warned also raised their spirits, and every time they set up camp, they were meticulous in eating, guarding, and keeping vigil, and the 3 mages used magic vigil to protect themselves without leaking, and for the first time in the first place, they also took turns to join the vigil.

Fortunately, the three of them have a lot of magical equipment to recover their spiritual recovery bodies, and the loss of their strength during the 3-day journey is almost negligible, maintaining a complete combat power that can be put into battle at any time.

A simple barracks was set up in front of the valley camp of the Redbeard Thieves, and for the safety of the mage, the mage camp was placed at the back of the place, and when the knight of Antok consulted the mage about this, Casas agreed with a stern expression.

"We've spared no effort to calculate! Putting us in the back is clearly protection, but when the front line is urgent, and then we are attacked from behind, we have no way out. It seems that the enemy's plan is nothing more than that. Hillis lifted the corner of the tent and looked at the figure of the knight Antok in the distance, the deep and crystal clear eyes on her beautiful face reflected the eternal coldness, and under this coldness was buried the long-suppressed hot magma.

Li Xun dragged his chin and kept looking at the angry girl, it has been less than a month since they first met, how can a gentle and confused genius magical girl become a cold and miserable female angry youth, everything is a conspiracy, everything is a calculation, it will be blackened sooner or later, it's a pity! Although Cialis's personality is a bit blackened, it is not outrageous, and this camping site is indeed very problematic. It is conceivable that when the viscount coalition besieged the thief camp at a critical juncture, most of the troops inevitably had to move forward and press, at this time, an elite smashed the mage camp from the rear, hehe, the 3 mages who were defenseless in the chaos suddenly encountered a close sneak attack by the Drow team, and there was almost no possibility of retreating!

Casas closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and began to make a simple arrangement: "We all know the general arrangement of the other party, as long as we are prepared, it will not be so easy for them to sneak attack, at least 3 flying mages they will be helpless." ”

Li Xun added: "Don't worry too much, I have been in contact with the people in the team in the past few days, and most of them do not know. You should know that I am a person with a keen sense of perception and can sense the hostility and kindness of others towards me, so we don't have to worry about facing everyone at all, but only the Viscount's henchmen and the Dark Elves' squad. In addition, I think the knight Antok is also very upright, and he should have been deceived and used, and the viscount's henchmen must have someone else. ”

Casas has long guessed Li Xun's special talent, and even His Excellency the ** Master has praised it, thinking that there must be something superhuman, and when I heard Li Xun say it today, I realized that it was so against the sky! Being able to sense where others stand, what an amazing ability!

It was the first time she had heard of it, and she was envious for a while, and finally began to evaluate this "junior" of the mage who often did amazing things. With black hair and black eyes, a fair face (typical of otaku), a thin body but a youthful vigor, he does not maintain a strict expression like Casas, but always smiles, and looks like the racial characteristics of the southern kingdom of Bryland.

As for why the mages of the Kingdom of Breland went to the northernmost Duchy of Novis to become a contract mage, this is not unusual. From a mage apprentice to a full-fledged mage, it is an extremely strict threshold that cannot be crossed by studying and studying, so the Klein Continent pursues an apprenticeship travel system. After learning spell knowledge for 3 years, apprentices have to go out to participate in training, travel to various countries, and strive to hone their spell abilities in various dangers, so many apprentices will register as mages nearby after advancing to a formal mage in the experience, and may be invited by the local country to become a contract mage.

Of course, the major kingdoms also have measures to avoid the outflow of talents, such as reserving some suitable areas in their own countries as training places, and Hillis is a mage training completed under the protection of the royal family, so she is biased towards academic mages. It can be seen that Master Li Xun is likely to be born as a commoner, and this is why he will be in exile in other countries and register as a mage.

Well, becoming a level 6 mage at the age of 18 is a little worse than himself, but for the sake of having a superb talent, it should be worth wooing! Cialis rolled her eyes and began to secretly calculate for herself, and was startled when she saw the young mage turn her head and look deeply at herself. Isn't it only possible to perceive the good and evil of others? Is it so close that you can even perceive the thoughts in the hearts of others? Cialis couldn't help but feel creepy, and hurriedly sat farther away, silently praying that she would not be so unlucky, and after meeting a terrifying psychic warlock, she would meet a little psychic warlock!

The countermeasures discussed by the three of Casas are also very simple, in fact, the mage's attacks have always been simple. In the past, under the protection of the meat shield, bombing the other party as much as possible, now that the meat shield is unreliable, then you can only rely on your own flying skills to open the distance, anyway, I haven't heard that Drow can fly, when the time comes, as long as you fly to a high altitude, protect yourself from long-range attacks, and leave the rest to the fireball. The simplest tactics are the most reliable tactics, and the mage doesn't even need a tactic, just a fireball-fireball-fireball.

Li Xun silently took out his "Soul Weaver" staff, and after some disguise by himself, this staff looked inconspicuous on the outside, and he was not worried about what the two of Casas could detect, it was time for it to open. After being promoted to level 6, Li Xun has found that some of the previous small fights are no longer enough to support his upgrade, and only a certain scale of war can increase his experience points, so he is eager to get all the excitement.

After a night's rest, the Coalition forces officially began the siege of the Redbeard Thieves' lair on the seventh day after their departure.
