Chapter Forty-Nine: The Wolf of the Middle Mountain
More than half of them fell before they could engage in battle, and the bandits who tried to bypass the stinking cloud were no longer so resolute.
"Grading...... Guidance of fire!"
A fireball of secondary energy appeared in Merlin's hand, and suddenly shot out among the bandits.
"Wizard, there are wizards here!" shouted one of the robbers, and blessed was the one who had hesitated a moment ago, and immediately turned his horse's head and fled with a shout, while three or four of the robbers who could not dodge happened to come into close contact with the fireball...... Almost instantly, they were turned into fire men and fire horses, and after a flurry of headless flies, they all fell to their deaths.
Merlin pulled out the bow of Alyus and whispered a mantra: "Wind"
The energy arrows on the strings were immediately wrapped in a layer of cyan wind-attribute energy power...... Whoa!
Three arrows fired in a row, and the three robbers who ran in front fell off their horses, and the other robbers were suddenly in chaos, which made Merlin a little confused, holding the bow of Aerys, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Keep up! Krupp was in good spirits at this moment, and he commanded vividly.
The others looked at Merlin with strange eyes...... Before, I saw that she was too young, so it was just a superficial respect, but the shot just now proved her strength, even those veterans, looking at Mei Lin's eyes were full of awe.
"Let's go over there. Merlin blessed herself with the Wind Surge and quickly ran forward...... is also a traveler, since it has already started, then solve it by the way.
"Keep up, keep up. Krupp originally wanted to ignore it, but the battlefield was on their way, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to leave it alone, and he noticed that the carriage on the other side of the house had a moon and season ornament, which should belong to a certain noble family, and if it was a Farouk nobleman, maybe there would be a place to use them in the future.
By the time she got closer, Merlin had already noticed what was going on with them...... Inside the carriage sat two women, one of whom seemed to be a little older, while the other was supposed to be a maid, and outside the carriage, in addition to six knights in chain mail, there were also two young men in witch robes who were fighting with swords, several of them had blood stains on their bodies, but the injuries did not appear to be serious.
In their outer circle, dozens of robbers were attacking in waves, and there were already the bodies of more than twenty robbers on the ground, and three or four corpses should be the companions of the attacked.
For the attacked, the most dangerous thing is not the bandits who are in close combat, but the guys who hide behind and release cold arrows, and their injuries come from those archers.
The movement in the distance naturally attracted the attention of this side, and seeing such a large group of robbers dead and fleeing, the attackers immediately shouted for help.
"Damn, where did they come from?" the robber leader was frightened and angry, and he was a little reluctant that the boiled duck was about to fly away.
Whoa!
Three glittering magic arrows flew in zigzags, and just as the bandit leader panicked, the three archers hiding behind the team were shot one after another, and the corpses exploded in the end, and the bandits' team suddenly became chaotic.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
The bandit leader can no longer care about the 'duck' in front of him...... If they don't leave, they will all become 'ducks'.
After all, these robbers were cavalry, and there were seventy or eighty of them, more than the guards, and the people only shouted in the back, and then they went, and Krupp joyfully ordered the guards to start cleaning the battlefield...... Those war horses, lost weapons and armor, etc., are trophies, which can be exchanged for a large sum of money, and most importantly, none of their own hands are damaged, which was unimaginable in the past.
Thinking of this, Krupp looked at Merlin with gratitude.
When the caravan of the Kaya family pursued the robbers, the rescued people took care of themselves to clean up the corpses near the carriage and did not participate, and when the robbers fled, a knight in chain mail strode over and said to Krupp with a proud face: "Countess Sophia Phile of the Bisov Kingdom invites your chief to meet, and the countess will thank you in person for your rescue!"
"You're welcome...... "Krupp is a seasoned and sleek businessman, and this kind of entertainment is naturally done by him, and the conversation between the two sides is quite a bit of a deed, because they are both going to Bolivia, so they agreed to go on the road together.
On the carriage, Merlin's expression was a little solemn, as if he was thinking about something, and it was the first time Krupp had seen Merlene's appearance, but he was very knowledgeable and did not ask.
Merlin does have something on her mind, as if nothing is happening on the surface, but her heart is like a stormy wave...... The Phila Family!
She didn't expect that she was kind for a while, and she actually saved the people of the Feller family.
The worst thing is that the other party is very likely to know herself, because the maid who accompanied the countess once appeared next to Feller of the Suiyun Academy, and the other party may not know that he recognized her, but it is certain that the maid should know herself, because when they first met, the look in the maid's eyes betrayed her.
......
As night fell, the caravan finally stopped moving forward and began to camp, and the piles of bonfires reflected the faces of everyone, whether it was the escort or the coachman or the men, their faces were full of smiles, and not only did today's dinner add dishes, but the steward also announced that everyone would have a reward after returning home. The countess, however, declined Krupp's invitation to dinner, and dined in her own tent, but her two sons were very courteous to follow Merlin and ask questions, and put on a 'fair lady, gentleman', until Merlin said that she wanted to rest, and did not get rid of them.
In the dead of night, only a campfire remained in the camp, and the two guards of the night watch wary...... All the tents almost blended into the darkness, but only one tent showed a faint glimmer of light.
"Are you sure she's that Merlin?" said Countess Feller's face, a cloud.
"Yes, ma'am, I have seen her in Young Master Feller's academy, and I can't be wrong. The maid replied in the affirmative.
"Does she recognize you?" asked Madame Feller.
"I shouldn't know, this Mei Lin is ...... to the young master Very disrespectful, never looked at it properly. Yado replied.
"Mother, what's there to say about this, killing her will not only avenge her cousin and get the family's honorarium, but also get the magic bow in her hand. A teenager said.
"Yes, Mother, strike first, if she knows about our relationship with my cousin, it will be dangerous. "The other teenager is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Well, let's do it tonight, you go and call MiG in. The Countess pondered for a moment, then said decisively.
"Mother, what should the caravan men do?" asked the last young man to speak.
