The next operation was very smooth, Mei Lin and their mixed hunting team finally succeeded in crossing the mountain in front of them, and on the way, they did not encounter the hunting team against the current and the bite of the group, the only casualty was a second-level mage who accidentally slipped and broke his forehead when he was descending the mountain, causing a false alarm to the team.

As Master Rosalie said, there is less wind and rain on this side of the mountain...... The main thing is that the wind is blocked by the mountains. After discussing it for a while, the two archmagicians informed everyone to continue their journey down the mountain, mainly because the vegetation on the mountain was too sparse for them to camp or keep warm.

As for the news that came before, although it is not too good news, it is not bad, as long as there is no problem with the defense line of the headquarters, then to a certain extent, they are safe. Especially after crossing this mountain, everyone's spirits were obviously much more relaxed.

However, there were still those who remained vigilant, such as Merlin, who noticed that on the magic map of Master Rosalie, the red dot representing the Wilderness Forest Hunting Team was still intermittently disappearing, and there was still danger in front of them, which was enough to keep them vigilant.

Of course, no one will spread the news to the rest of the team at this time, and nothing good will come of it except to cause panic. Therefore, Mage Rosalie and Mage Van Nick only urged everyone to remember the speed of progress, and in order to save time and maintain energy, they rarely probed the surroundings frequently, but only once in a while, the mages took turns to probe the surroundings, as long as there were no anomalies in the attack range.

The dark weather made the night fall early, and the warriors set up their tents between the forests this time, using the huge canopy to shelter them from the wind and rain, and the mages also took the initiative to assist the warriors this time, drawing various vigilant circles on the periphery of the camp, on the one hand, to improve safety, and on the other hand, to add insurance to the soldiers in charge of vigilance.

After dinner, Mage Rosalie called Merlin over for a chat, and the two quickly talked about the hunt from the quality of the dinner.

"Mage Snorr, what do you think of this hunt?" Mage Rosalie asked.

"Honestly?" asked Merlin.

"Of course, it's just the two of us here, and no one else will hear it. Master Rosalie was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"In my opinion, the mission was a failure. Merlin said unceremoniously.

"Tell me about it. Master Rosalie didn't see anything wrong with it, but encouraged her to continue.

"We were wrong from the start. ”

Merlin said unceremoniously, "We are a hunting team, but like a regular army of mortals, we have entered a preset position, and many hunting teams have entered the same preset position, which undoubtedly restricts our hands and feet, but it gives the enemy a hint of the direction of attack." ”

"Oh?"

With a contemplative expression on her face, Mage Rosalie said slowly, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"Since you have decided on the sex of the hunting team, then after giving them a target task, let them do their own thing, as long as they can achieve their goal, they will do anything. Merlin said as a matter of course.

"You mean to let the squads go?" asked Mage Rosalie.

That's what it means. ”

Mei Lin nodded: "It's a pity, we have lost too much, and we may not be able to organize the next attack." ”

Master Rosalie was silent for a long time before she let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "Master Snorr, let's rest early." ”

As usual, Merlin took notes and then began to meditate. However, not long after she entered the meditation, she felt a violent fluctuation of magic power nearby, and in a panic, she didn't care whether it would cause a backlash of spiritual power, and forcibly withdrew from the meditation.

At the same time, the sleeping mages and the only five or six warriors were all awakened by this very obvious fluctuation of magical power. Mage Rosalie and Mage Van Nick were naturally no exception, and when they saw this situation, they did not hesitate to quickly use their mental power to probe the surrounding situation.

"Quick, get out of here right now. ”

Master Vannick no longer maintained his graceful demeanor, and shouted anxiously, "The enemy is coming, hurry up, flee separately!" After saying that, he rushed out of the temporary residence first, beckoning several mages around him to flee outside.

"There are assassins. Mage Rosalie, who was on the side to detect the enemy's situation, said to Merlin who had just run over, she really didn't expect that the people who went against the current would be so unscrupulous, and there were assassins hiding in the team.

"Let's go!"

Merlin grabbed Mage Rosalie's arm, threw a few more potions outside the camp, and ran away in a random direction while the warriors were making a mess of the makeshift shelter...... Clouds of mist rose up outside the camp, and while they were not lethal to speak of, they were enough to confuse the enemy or obscure their view.

Because Merlin knew that in such a situation, if there were assassins in the pursuing ranks, they would be the mages who gathered together to fight the enemy. will definitely be assassinated one by one by the other party sneaking into his side. Therefore, they had no choice but to disperse and rely on their luck to evade the Assassins while the large number of pursuers had not yet arrived...... The assassin who can go deep into this place is definitely not a rookie!

After the rest of the mages got the information of scattering and fleeing, they didn't think about the situation at all, but they still randomly selected their companions to start fleeing in different directions, hoping to return to the headquarters as soon as possible - after all, judging from the current news, the defense line of the headquarters can still be expected.

After Merlin helped Mage Rosalie to get on the skeleton warhorse, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the rain for days had a great impact on the ground, but this was much less impact on the undead creatures, and she had not yet heard the violent spell fluctuations behind her or the screams of death, but Merlin could feel a large number of people approaching quickly in the distance...... For a moment, Merlin really wanted to release the Black Knight, but she held back, not as a last resort, she was not prepared to reveal her hole cards.

Merlin also hated and feared the Assassins, referring to the high-ranking Assassins. Of course, she is not completely without her own means, but the thing is - you know your own means, but you do not know the enemy's ones, and in this case, the farther away from those uncontrollable things, the safer it is, this is always a good statement.
