Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 140 Traps
It's late at night.
Boulder Fort, in a deep alley.
A knock broke the silence of the alley. After a 'squeak' of the door opened, the alley was quiet again at night.
"Honey, it's you! The orcs finally let you out?" In a courtyard in the alley, a woman lowered her voice and threw herself into the arms of a man who stepped through the door with a surprised face.
"Well, the orcs have been asking me more about the 'Sun-by-Day' mercenary group during this time, and I explained that it will take some time, so I haven't come out until now. When the man saw the woman, he was also very excited and hugged her into his arms.
The two couples, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, kissed passionately, and it took five minutes before they reluctantly parted.
"My dear, you betrayed the Daily Mercenary Group this time, will they let you go?" the woman asked with a worried face after calming down from the excitement of meeting the couple for the first time.
"I can't control so much! As long as you are safe, I am willing to pay any price! Now those orcs have also fulfilled their promise, not only sparing you, but also giving me a large sum of money, which is enough for us to live without food and clothing for the rest of our lives. We left Boulder in two days and went somewhere else incognito for the rest of our lives. The continent is so vast, there will always be a place for us!" the man comforted the woman.
"Hmm!" the woman nodded emphatically, her eyes full of anticipation for a better life ahead.
The two hugged each other and walked into the hut in the courtyard. After a few moments, the dim kerosene lights in the hut went out, and the hut was filled with boundless spring colors.
A black falcon flapped its wings and flew to the top of the courtyard and landed on it. The black falcon eagle moved its head and scanned every corner of the courtyard vigilantly. After a long time, the black falcon didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and a pair of eagle eyes suddenly lit up with a terrifying cold light, and stared at the hut in the courtyard without blinking.
The cold moonlight silently fell on the black falcon that was motionless like a sculpture at the head of the small courtyard wall.
When the movement in the hut in the courtyard gradually fell silent, the black falcon suddenly spread its wings, flew off the wall, and glided towards the hut.
Just when the black falcon was still seven or eight meters away from the hut, a wall of fire suddenly rose from the flat ground, blocking the black falcon's path. The Black Falcon was shocked, but due to the suddenness of the incident, it did not have time to turn around and dodge, and finally went straight into the wall of fire.
However, the expected terrible eagle roar did not sound, and what emerged from the wall of fire was no longer a black falcon, but a figure wrapped in a magical shield.
"Hey, Senna Yemo, it's you this time!" a slightly unexpected voice suddenly sounded in the small courtyard
"Broken Claw, you say this guy is Senna Yemo, the black elf who killed Rosen?" asked in a gruff voice.
"Yes, Lord Doto. He's Senna Yemo, the leader of the Daily Mercenary Regiment!, we've caught a big fish this time!" replied the voice from earlier.
With this question and answer, a 'illumination' magic instantly covered the entire courtyard, and the night suddenly became as bright as day.
Under a big tree next to the small courtyard house, three figures slowly emerged in the originally empty place, and it was obvious that these three people had stayed here for a long time, but they had used magic such as 'stealth magic' to cover their figures.
"Senna Yemo, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!
Run!" Blade said mockingly.
"Broken Claw, it's you again!" Senna, who had passed through the wall of fire unharmed under the protection of the magic shield, couldn't help but curse when he saw a figure under the big tree.
The noise in the small courtyard also alarmed the people in the house, and the wooden door of the hut was pushed open. The man who had entered the house before leaned out, and when he saw Senna, he couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously shouted, "Commander!"
Then he swept his gaze and saw the three figures under the big tree clearly, and his face changed even more.
He had seen all three, and the young werewolf was one of the werewolf warriors who escorted him all the way to Boulder Castle, and he had already seen his prowess in the battle with the mercenaries on the way. The other one-eyed werewolf was seen once in the werewolf camp after he came to Boulder Castle, and knew that he was a general-level leader in the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment. As for the kobold who stood with the two werewolves, he had also met him twice in the werewolf camp, and although he didn't know his name, he knew from the way he dressed him that it was a noble shaman.
The three of them suddenly appeared here now, obviously prepared and set up an ambush here.
A look of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on the man's face, and the sound he made when he was in the house and the woman just now must have been heard clearly by the three of them. Orcs set up an ambush in their love nest without telling themselves, either because they still don't trust themselves, or they don't take themselves seriously at all.
After seeing the man's blue and white expression, Senna also roughly guessed that he didn't know about the ambush, and immediately sneered and mocked: "Edric, it seems that these orcs still don't treat you as a journeyman!"
Edric stared at Senna with complicated eyes and said, "Commander, since you appear here, it seems that you still don't want to let me go?"
"That's good!" Senna said coldly: "The daily mercenary group will never be soft on traitors! As the head of a regiment, I should clean the door with my own hands!" After speaking, Senna turned to look at the blade: "You are setting up an ambush here, did you expect me to come?"
"We're just guessing!" Blade smiled and said, "Ever since I sent this human to Boulder Castle, I've been wondering if you're going to make a new assassination in Boulder Castle out of reluctance, since you have had a failed assassination on your way?" I thought it was very likely, so when this human left the barracks, I persuaded Master Doto and Master Matthew to come to this small courtyard where humans lived to set up an ambush.
It turned out that after the Blade Squad was temporarily assigned to the Fourth Wing and participated in the Battle of the Zangar Swamp and the Battle of the Redstone Mountains, except for the original squad leader Dayan who received an order to go to Stormcrack Castle because of his promotion, Blade and the other team members somehow never received an order to return to Warsong Castle. These days, Blade has been staying in the Boulder Castle, so he is itchy and unbearable, and he often calls him when he wants to find someone to fight. Although the two positions are very different, they have gradually become inseparable friends. When Blade heard that Edrik was about to be released from the heavily guarded barracks a few days ago, he couldn't help but wonder if the Daily Mercenary Group would continue to assassinate Edric.
"It seems that I was not very lucky, and I actually hit the knife edge!" When Senna knew that the other party's ambush was just trying his luck
can't help but laugh at yourself.
"Elf boy, you can't escape today! I want to see how many catties you have to defeat Rosen!" Doto raised his horse slashing knife with one hand and was ready to attack.
Senna's eyes froze, and he could already see that Doto was a warrior at the peak of the eighth level. Originally, his strength and blade were between the best, if you added this eighth-level peak warrior, then he would definitely be invincible, not to mention that there was a shaman next to him.
Senna retreated all his life, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately activated his magic, and his body suddenly changed, turning into a black falcon form, and he wanted to spread his wings and escape.
A magic scroll was suddenly thrown into the air, and it burst into flames, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye. The black falcon, which was flapping its wings and rushing into the night sky, felt its two wings sink suddenly, and it could not be flapped, and had to fall back to the ground.
"Forbidden Void!" Senna, who had reverted back to his elven form, tilted his head and stared at the kobold shaman in the field, his face shocked and angry.
Matthew, who had just finished casting the spell, met Senna's gaze and said with a smile: "A few days ago, our Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment slaughtered a bronze dragon, and this 'Forbidden Sky Technique' scroll was originally intended for that bronze dragon. It's just that the level of the bronze dragon is too high, and this scroll is estimated to have no effect on it, so it didn't use it in the end. Now that such a precious scroll is used on you, it is cheaper for you!Now that the entire Boulder Fort has been covered by the 'Forbidden Sky Technique', I see how you can escape!"
At this time, there was a rush and noisy footsteps outside the small courtyard, and then the door of the small courtyard was kicked open, and more than a dozen werewolf warriors in strong armor poured into the small courtyard.
The dozen or so werewolf crossbowmen were originally ambushed in the building near the small courtyard, and when the sound in the small courtyard came, they knew that the target had appeared, and suddenly emerged from their hiding place.
Looking at this formation, Senna knew that even if there was no restriction of the 'forbidden air technique' at this moment, under the threat of these werewolf crossbowmen who were ready to shoot, even if he could fly into the sky, it would be difficult for him to escape safely.
"Don't let go of the arrows yet, I'm going to take him down myself. Doto let out a loud shout, and the blade of the 'Demon Slayer' in his hand began to flash with a fighting light.
Senna seemed to be in a desperate situation, but after the initial outburst, there was no panic on his face. Seeing this, the sharp blade who had dealt with Senna couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Although Doto ordered everyone not to interfere and planned to capture Senna alone, Blade knew that Senna's strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary eighth-level druid. Although Doto is an eighth-level peak warrior, his true combat power can even be compared to a ninth-level warrior, but he may not necessarily be able to crush Senna, and if he is not careful, he may capsize in the gutter. And Senna's calm performance at this time deepened Blade's doubts. Blade made up his mind, if he saw that the opportunity was wrong, he would not hesitate to attack, this opportunity was rare, and Senna must not be allowed to escape.
Senna looked around the audience, and finally stared at Edric, smiled coldly, and said, "Edric, this time there are these wolf cubs, even if you have escaped again." I withdrew first this time, I don't know if you will have such luck next time!"
As soon as Senna's voice fell, he suddenly flashed and rushed to the northwest corner of the small courtyard.
