"Good intentions!"

After looking around, Hathaway sighed softly. Anyway, she used to be an excellent criminal policeman, if she couldn't even see that little bit of cattiness, it would be better to die headlong and find a chance to cross over.

"What did you say, sir?"

Her voice was too low, and she followed Spia. Rodtrim and Barthes. Willie didn't hear it.

"Take a different path and be vigilant along the way." Hathaway said with a straight face.

She was protecting her own safety, but she didn't save the other party's life, and since they wanted to worry, then she didn't have to be polite. As for whether those who do it are being used or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

Spia. Rodtrim nodded, he now knew that Hathaway was the lord of the Cordillera Plateau, although he didn't have the idea of becoming inflammatory, but he and his mercenary group would still have to live in the Cordillera Plateau in the future, if he had a good relationship with this lord, it would be very beneficial for the survival and development of the mercenary group.

He knew that Hathaway's men were strong enough to protect him. He had been following the convoy for the past few days, and although the orc guards had not made a move, he had been greatly surprised by the strictness of their appearance and discipline during the march...... Even if it is a regular army, it is nothing more than that.

However, since he accepted Hathaway's offer, it was his duty to get his employer to Mandy Gaza as quickly and safely as possible.

Hathaway didn't pay attention to the mercenary leader's thoughts, she was arranging a mission with the two maids...... Really fight. She didn't rely on them to fight, and if something happened, they had to hide in a second carriage, and as long as they didn't get rushed in front of them by the enemy, they were basically fine. And in the event of an accident, I am afraid that Hathaway herself will be in danger at that time.

Soon, there was a message from outside the window from Barthes. Willy's shout, the convoy was on the road soon after, and both the guards and the mercenaries moved quickly. They organized the carriages to turn around one by one. Then they rearranged their formation and took a different route to Mandi Gaza.

These roads in the mountains were created by the miners themselves to transport ore, and they wanted to find them on the map. It's very difficult. In Hathaway's opinion. The reason why those people caused a 'landslide' is a gang. That's also to hinder her, the roads in the mine are very messy, if those people can really figure out which way they go. It doesn't have to be so troublesome. So, there is only one answer, and the place to do it must be when they leave the mine, otherwise it will be too difficult to master.

Although the road is a little difficult to walk, it is still very lively from the previous desertion, and you can often see groups of miners and some peasant women working in the mountains and forests, these people are curious about the carriages that appear in the mining area, but also a little disgusted, and keep a certain distance from them, both sides are a well water does not interfere with the river water.

Hathaway was a little depressed, and in order to prevent those thieves from taking assassination measures, the guards unanimously decided to forbid Hathaway to get out of the car at will, what else...... You can't expose yourself to the open, you can't keep yourself out of the sight of the guards around you, you can't ride a horse, you can't hunt, what else? Hathaway couldn't remember for a moment. Originally, with veteran monitoring, she could cultivate or do some of her own things, but now that a battle might break out at any time, where did she have the heart to cultivate?

Still, she found some fun for herself...... For example, playing cards is a good activity, and Hathaway's pleasure is to win the two little maids red-faced, but Cecia. Hughes has always been calm, and although she has also lost, it is not by much.

On January 24, the thieves seemed to be holding their breath and still hadn't started, and Hathaway's convoy was almost out of the mine. Although it is not a flat country in the future, it is not easy for thieves with no military training to attack a highly trained team in the open area.

Barthes. Willy and Spia. Rodtrim was extremely cautious, and the camp at night was arranged with light and dark sentries, and when he was on the road during the day, the team was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and all the thieves in the mercenary group were sent out to act as scouts...... They were much better than orcs in this regard, and the half-elves were excellent marksmen, and Hathaway didn't want to compromise them with this scouting work.

In addition to this, except for Hathaway and the handmaidens' carriages, the other carriages were reinforced and heightened, and the half-elves and elven archers were hidden on the rooftops, and the whole team was like a moving fortress...... Barthes. Willy believed that ordinary thieves, even if they were several times their size, would not threaten them unless they encountered well-trained regular troops.

"Two more spells, and you'll be out of the mines." Spia. Rodtrim calculated the time, and his heart was slightly relaxed, he believed that as long as he left the complex terrain of the mine, the chance of danger was not very large.

The only sound of the heavy footsteps of the orc guards, the slight neighing of the horses, and the rolling of the wheels were all over the mountain. Spia. Rodtrim's gaze swept around from time to time, occasionally glancing at Hathaway's carriage...... He was curious that the wheels of the first two carriages were different from those of the others, and that once he and Barthes had a chance to do so. Willie, Siccone. Sheldon was invited into the carriage and found that the carriage barely felt the vibrations.

"Lao Tzu wants such a carriage to not ride this thing." He muttered involuntarily, and at the same time clamped the war horse under his crotch.

"Boss, what did you say?" A mercenary next to him asked.

"Any news from the scouts?" Spia. Rodtrim asked suddenly.

"The scouts on the left and right have sent reports on time, but the scouts in front haven't sent back reports for a while." The mercenary replied.

What the?

Spia. Rodtrim's face changed: "Did you inform Lord Willy?" ”

"Just sent someone to inform Lord Willy." The mercenary replied.

"Stop moving...... Stop moving forward......" A command was heard in front of him, and a half-orc guard had just stopped before his figure fell to the ground.

Barthes. Willy's pupils contracted sharply, and there was a sharp arrow stuck in the neck of the orc guard, which was obviously no longer able to be saved.

"Enemy attack! Raise your shield! The roars of the squad leaders broke the silence in the forest, and the guards and knights quickly removed their shields.

Almost at the same time as the roar sounded, countless archers stood among the grass and trees in front of the convoy, and then locust-like arrows were wrapped in a piercing sound of breaking wind and shot at the convoy.

Although the guard was killed by an arrow just now, this period of training was not in vain after all, they covered the vital points with shields, except for a few unlucky guys who were injured, but they never died, but the horses pulling the cart and the knights' war horses were damaged a lot.

As planned, when a sudden attack came, the guards did not panic, and according to the previous drills, the wagons loaded with luggage and supplies immediately became the strongest fortresses.

"Free Fire!" Barthes. Willie commanded the defense while ordering the shooters to shoot. In this environment, free scatter is clearly more tactical.

A slight sound of breaking the air was faint and imperceptible to the whistling of arrows, but the archers who stood in the middle of the wood fell to the ground one by one, and blood flowers rushed out of their foreheads, throats, and chests.

At first, there were one or two, and no one cared, but when the number increased to dozens, and it continued to increase, those archers also panicked, and the arrows sent out gradually lost their accuracy.

Spia. Rodtrim reacted very quickly, and before the squad leaders could give the order, he had already slipped off his horse, but then he saw the archers fall one after another, with no traces of arrows or signs of magical attacks. He turned his head to look at the wagons, where the attack was coming from.

Black pipes protruded from the roof of the car, and something seemed to shoot out of them, hitting the archers...... "What kind of weapon is this?" Looks even more powerful than a crossbow! "Spia. Rodtrim was a little shocked to observe the strange weapon.

He had paid attention to the sticks carried by the elves and half-elves...... Almost everyone knew that elves and half-elves were best at bows and arrows besides magic, but none of the weapons he saw seemed to be weapons, and it was only then that he realized how terrible these 'sticks' were.

"It would be nice to get a few to arm the mercenary group." Spia. A thought flashed through Rodtrim's mind, but he was immediately drawn to the battle in front of him.

The convoy was able to defend itself against the enemy thanks to Hathaway...... Almost all of the attacks were aimed at the carriage she was in. And what was very puzzled was that just as the rain of arrows arrived, a magical light flashed on the carriage, and those arrows seemed to have suddenly been drained of their strength and fell to the ground one after another. And at the same time as the arrows fell to the ground, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and Hathaway's figure sprang out, and the figure flickered, and it was already in front of the second carriage.

"Your Excellency!" The carriage door opened, and Iona and the others were going to come out.

"Stay in the carriage honestly, and no one is allowed to leave!" Hathaway scolded.

"Take care, my lord!" The two maids were still a little unwilling, Cecia. Hughes reacted quickly and raised his hand to close the door.

"Burst Meteor!"

Hathaway climbed onto the roof of the car, although this height was tantamount to using herself as a target, but as soon as those arrows came close, they were blocked by the magic of the 'protective arrows' on the magic robe, and with her gestures, dozens of fist-sized fireballs shot at those archers like meteors.
