Chapter 45 I want to borrow a knife
While Arthur inadvertently escapes a crisis, the Blue Enchantress mercenary group faces a huge crisis.
The first to spot the danger was Ellenie the Elf.
Elves are children of nature, and living in a human house is a very uncomfortable constraint for elves. There was no way to live underground in the dwarven kingdom before, but after arriving in Huaorez, the considerate Joan asked the wood magician to help grow a lot of flowers and trees in the elven forest in the courtyard, and built a wooden house for Elleni on the trees.
Eleanne herself usually lives in the trees, and even keeps five or six small birds called flower larks. These beautifully colored birds appear to be Eleanne's pets, but are actually elven ears and eyes. Alanie takes these birds with her every mission with the mercenary group, and they often detect danger before the scouting mercenaries.
Since entering the mountain, someone has followed the mercenary group all the way, and the other party's tracking level is very high, if it weren't for the fact that the flower lark noticed that someone was following the mercenary group, the mercenary group would not have noticed anything at all.
Alani whispered her discovery to Joan, who remained silent and gathered several of the main leaders of the mercenary group together during lunch.
Joan said seemingly casually, "We've been targeted, but we can't be sure who the other family is yet?"
The tenth princess looked excited, "This princess is idle and bored, we just happened to find out the people hiding behind it." ”
Qiong glanced at the tenth princess, "We are mercenaries now, not a hunting team, the safety of the goods is the most important thing, and judging from the tracking level of the other party, the opponent's strength is definitely not weak." ”
"I'm going to clean up the tail of the tracker. Huey was hard to say.
Joan shook her head in the same way, "The speed of the caravan is too slow, and I am worried that even if I pick up the tail of the track, I will not be able to really solve the worries, but will startle the other party." ”
The tenth princess muttered unhappily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?"
"My opinion is to pretend not to know for the time being, and let Eranny's Flower Lark expand the search area and wait for our opponent to show up before making plans?"
"Wouldn't you be more risky like this, maybe someone had already set a trap for us to jump into?"
"It's been a few days since we entered the mountain range, and the other party has been following but not in a hurry, I guess the other party's purpose should be more than just a caravan, most likely for our transaction?"
"Our trade with the orcs was revealed so quickly?"
"It may not be completely exposed, but there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and the recent trade volume of Moral Commercial Bank is so large, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you will definitely find out a lot of suspicious points. ”
The Tenth Princess was even more puzzled, "In this case, we should do it in advance, so that the opponent can find out about our deal with the orcs, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
Joan smiled confidently, "Since we have been worried about it, then give the other party a chance to take the initiative to jump out, just use the power of the orcs to help us solve this hidden danger." ”
Huey asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
Among the people, Huey trusted Joan the most, because he knew that Joan, a "fool", had always pretended to be a serious person, and Joan was the smartest of the few people.
"Let the wind send a message to Leon, inform him to change the location of the transaction, and ask him to bring more fighters to prepare in advance. ”
It's still a way to kill people with a knife, but Joan is going to borrow an orc's knife this time!
Spence didn't speak during the whole process, but nodded secretly at Joan's performance, and after a series of events, Joan finally grew up.
......
What Joan didn't expect was that the knife he wanted to borrow was still in trouble.
Leon was standing on top of a towering mountain cliff, and beyond a mountain beam, countless small black dots were moving rapidly in this direction, it was the pursuit of the golden lion.
A few days ago, the Golden Lion's 10,000 elite troops swooped down on the foothills of Orlando Mountain, and Leon organized a sneak attack on the night they entered the mountain.
Unexpectedly, this orc army was already prepared, and there were two orc heroes leading the team, Leon's sneak attack did not take advantage, if it weren't for the elite army of the Blood Flame Madness Lion supported by his grandfather and two orc heroes were also in the formation, it would be difficult for Leon to even retreat.
After a scuffle, Leon retreated into the Orlando Mountains with his army, with the Golden Lion's army in hot pursuit.
After all, Leon has been operating in the mountains for several months, taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to lead the Golden Lion's army around the mountains, and constantly ambushing and creating traps while escaping, creating a lot of trouble for the Golden Lion's army, but it is impossible to swallow or defeat this army.
A crisp birdsong sounded, and a mandarin duck was hovering above Leon's head.
Shala, who was standing not far behind Leon, blew a bone whistle under her neck, and the wind mandarin fell on her arm.
Xia Ra untied the paper scroll on the wind mandarin duck's foot ring, unfolded it and looked at it, then stepped forward and handed it to Leon, "The news from the Blue Enchantress, they seem to have encountered some trouble, and asked to change the trading location to the Black Stone Forest. ”
"Black Stone Forest, Black Stone Forest. Leon repeated lightly twice, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Arthur doesn't seem to be in the mercenary group recently, right?"
"Now the mercenary group is in charge of the magician named Joan. ”
"Joan, I remember him, a very interesting fellow, more likeable than Arthur, and still seems to be a very clever fellow. ”
Shara was a little puzzled, "Is there anything special about that place in the Black Stone Forest?"
"We've agreed with the Blue Enchantress on a few alternative trading locations, and the Black Stone Forest is the least suitable place to trade, but the biggest advantage of this place is that the terrain is complex, which is more suitable for chaos and ambushes. ”
"I see, it seems that they are in trouble, so we chose this place for us to help solve the trouble. ”
Leon sneered, "Joan, this guy is very smart, and wants to borrow our hand to help them solve this trouble, but how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"
"You mean we don't care?" asked Sharah tentatively.
"Of course we can't completely ignore it, if they really finish playing, where can we go to find such a suitable trading partner? ”
Shara exclaimed, "You want the Terrans to deal with the Golden Lion army?"
Leon smiled confidently, "The Terrans are right, but they are not those mercenaries, the opponents who can make the Blue Enchantress feel troublesome, and they can also cause some trouble for the Golden Lion guys, right?"
Joan and Leon, two guys with their own hearts, are going to play some tricks in the Black Stone Forest?
