Chapter 44: Ambush
() () ()
Receiving Anthony's signal for safety, Owen led the convoy cautiously over
Looking at the bandits scattered all over the place, everyone was stunned
It was only a few minutes before and after, and the coachman's bearded man took out the steamed bun and only gnawed half of it, and a signal had already been sent here, saying that everything was done
Mr. Anthony, the most popular in Edinburgh City, is really not ordinarily strong
The elite soldiers of the Hilton family looked at the young man with a trace of respect and awe
The world of the strong has always been so simple, and if you want to be affirmed by others, you must have the corresponding strength
It's just that Mr. Anthony has left everything alone, so what do you want us to do?
These strong people in the eyes of ordinary people have a little bit of loss in their doubts
……
Gray Wolf Village, named after its owner "Gray Wolf".
Gray Wolf is the nickname of Mitchell, the owner of the Gray Wolf Village, he is as fierce and fierce as a wolf, and with gray-white hair, the people on the road gave him this nickname
A few years ago, Mitchell, who had just entered the silver realm, had a confrontation with Andres, who broke in with a caravan, and Mitchell was unsurprisingly defeated, and was seriously injured as a result
Although because of his arraignment, several nearby bandits raised their vigilance and changed the way of fighting head-on, and finally Andres's entire caravan was robbed of all the goods, and he was wounded in many places, so he could only escape with a few masters, which can be regarded as indirect revenge for the First World War
However, for the Hilton family, Mitchell hated it
If he was allowed to run out of this deep mountain wilderness and go to Edinburgh City to seek revenge, he would never dare Mitchell knew that he was not Andres's opponent at that time, and now I am afraid that he will not be able to beat this old horseman, Edinburgh Grand Duke Mattesias was born in a military force, and under the rule of the iron fist, the gangs on the road in Edinburgh City that have become a little bit of climate have been cleaned up, what kind of green onion is he Mitchell, dare to go to the city to spread wild?
Besides, he is a dignified silver-level professional powerhouse, and he fell into this mountainous area where birds don't to be the king of the mountain, just because he offended a big man, so he had to go away to avoid trouble, and he really didn't want to venture into those bustling cities
Just when he thought that there was no chance to return Andres, the shame and pain that the Hilton family had given him, the wire eye placed in the city of Edinburgh sent a warning
Hilton, here it is again
It's good to come
I was worried that I couldn't find you bad luck, but you sent it to the door of your own accord This time, on my territory, I must give you a gift that will last a lifetime
So, Mitchell sent out all the young men in the stockade and set up ambushes and traps at a dangerous position in front of the stockade
He knows very well that if the other party dares to come, he will definitely bring the strong, but those slow-moving carriages, as well as the goods on the carriages, are the death of the other party**As long as the carriage is nailed there, those strong people can only defend passively and cannot exert half of their strength
This is how Andres was defeated last time, and if he had adopted this strategy at that time, the winning and losing situation might have been reversed
But it doesn't matter, I missed the last time, didn't this opportunity come up again?
Mitchell clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, a hideous smile on his face
Just as Mitchell was still thinking about whether there was a loophole in the response, suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky outside, and a brilliant spark exploded, and the light of the fireworks spread over a small area of the sky nearby
"Alert? It's the direction in which the trap was laid in front of you," Mitchell was shocked, "Could it be that someone from the Hilton family arrived early?" ”
"Come on, come with me," Mitchell shouted, leading his henchmen towards the location where the alarm had been raised
You won't do anything to hit him, but at least you have to rush to the front to see what the situation is, and then it's not too late to make a decision
On the other side, in a hidden place on the side of the mountain road, Owen asked Anthony suspiciously: "Anthony, since we have sneaked in, why don't we just rush up and destroy them all while they are defenseless?" ”
Anthony quietly looked at the "Gray Wolf Village" that was surging like a boiling hornet's nest, and said without looking back: "Being able to enter here is already the limit, and it is almost impossible not to enter the village to blend into the village, can you find the location of the gray wolf?" If he is allowed to escape, this mission will be considered a failure for the most part."
Owen was silent
Everyone understands that the reason why these bandit groups are difficult to deal with is not because their strength is not because even if they have twice as many professionals and twice as many silver-level fighters, they can only be vulnerable to attack in the face of the coalition army composed of Edinburgh nobles
But in this mountainous area with complex terrain, these bandits are scurrying around like rats, and their opponents are strong, so they immediately slip away; But as soon as you show a flaw, they will swoop like a school of sharks that smell blood, tearing you to pieces
This is the main reason why it is difficult to get through the business road
Otherwise, as long as enough strong people are gathered to escort a caravan through this path, it is not a trivial matter, but with such an expensive escort force, is there still any profit to be made from this trip?
Before taking over the task, Anthony thought about these things very clearly, and driving away the gray wolf was definitely not the result he wanted
A minute later, the humble gates of the Grey Wolf Village opened, and under the crowd of a capable man—at least more powerful than the ones who had been brought down by Anthony in pieces—the gray-haired, tall, lanky Grey Wolf rushed out and hurried towards the "construction site" in front of him
As soon as I reached the bend of a mountain col, there was a sudden sound of "whoosh" breaking the air on the hillside overhead
"Ah~" powerful arrows shot from above, and the bandits around the gray wolf instantly fell a large piece
Swinging his sword away with a powerful arrow, he was shocked and angry in his heart, those little rabbit cubs, knowing that Hilton's people were coming, and they were so lax, they actually let the enemy touch the base camp
At the same time, he also secretly had the idea of retreating, this time the other party's coming was too fierce, as if it was not for the purpose of passing through the trade road at all, but specifically to sweep away his own bandit gangs
After the first volley, the gray wolf Mitchell had more room to look up
On the opposite side stood on a stone not far away, about forty or fifty people, all tall and strong, with capable bows and arrows, obviously all good hands, led by a young man wearing a magic robe and holding a staff
Mitchell yelled, "They don't have as many of us as we do, everyone rush up and kill them"
After the baptism of the rain of arrows, there were still about sixty people in the bandits, and the distance between the two sides was not far, and the stone was only 3 meters high, as long as they rushed through this distance, a long-range attack class like an archer could never be an opponent on their side
Taking advantage of the gap in the arrows on the opposite side, the bandits all screamed and rushed forward in a hurry
Mitchell, who had smelled the danger early, shouted, but the figure was slowly retreating
The young man waved his staff forward, and a gloom fell on the bandits, who only felt as if a stone had been pressed on their shoulders, and the strength in their bodies seemed to be taken out of thin air
"Mass curse?" The corners of Mitchell's eyes twitched slightly
The young man's staff swung out again, and a soft white light shrouded the archers behind him
"Group blessings?" Mitchell no longer hesitated, turned and left
