311 Misfortune leads to the east
Although Roland's method seems ordinary, intuitively, in terms of effect, it is far less than the small rain pit made by six magic apprentices.
But both Andonara and Jerry understand that Roland's method is indeed much better.
It took a few of their magic apprentices to work together to build such a hole, but in most cases, there were no mages in the mercenary squad, and even if there were, there was only one, after all, most mages would not follow the 'vulgar' mercenaries unless they really encountered any difficulties or needed to complete special tasks.
In addition, a rain pit of this magnitude is not something that a magic apprentice can complete.
Even if you barely finish it, you will use up all your mana.
In the wilderness, mages have no magic power, and they are just a little stronger than ordinary people, and if something unexpected happens, then things will be in trouble.
Like now, the magic of the six apprentices has been exhausted, and this is a small mistake, if Roland and Andonara are not around, a few hungry wolves can hurt them.
In contrast, Roland's method of digging a tree hole to hide is quite labor-saving.
However, Roland still praised these apprentices, after all, they are all eldest young masters or eldest misses, the first time they traveled far away, the first time they came up with their own ideas, and it was quite good to be able to do this.
"I'll keep vigil tonight, so take a break."
Roland smiled and said a word by the pit, then returned to the stone pavilion to rest.
Andonara went to the carriage and fetched her blanket, then followed Roland back to the stone pavilion, spread it on the floor, lay down and looked at Roland, who was close to him, and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon fell asleep.
If someone else kept vigil, Andonara would have been asleep at best, but Roland's vigil allowed her to sleep in peace.
Roland threw down the three magic spiders and quickly left the camp, forming a zigzag on the periphery for patrol and monitoring.
The rain is still falling.
Except for Roland, the sleepiness of the others gradually surfaced.
Generally speaking, vigils are hard and boring.
But Roland can brush the forum, can watch videos, and the matter of the vigil will be handed over to the three magic spiders, if these three spiders with specialized vision and night vision ability can't find the enemy who sneaks in, then neither can Roland.
Therefore, he calmly 'cultivates immortals'.
After a while, several coachmen and robes fell asleep on blankets, while the magic apprentices were sleeping under the rain awnings, hugging blankets, or sitting or lying down with their eyes closed.
The rain was still falling, rustling on the leaves.
This time, Roland found a lot of interesting posts on the forum, such as a businessman who said how he recounted goods between Hollevon and Ugandal, and what happened in it.
In addition, the owner of another post said that he inadvertently saved a small nobleman's only daughter during a mission, and now he has become the lord of a small territory as a wealthy person.
Of course...... According to custom, their future children must have the woman's surname.
But even so, there are a lot of people under this post.
Because this only daughter of a noble family is very beautiful.
Gossip content posts like this are easy to pass the time when brushed, and it's also fun to watch.
Time flies...... Soon it was midnight, and the rain had not stopped, although it had lightened.
It is estimated that it will be able to go down until dawn.
Roland got up, moved his body, walked around the stone pavilion a few times, and was about to sit down, but he was suddenly stunned.
Standing still for three seconds, he walked over and shoved Andonara awake first.
Andonara immediately got up and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement?" ”
Roland nodded, then shook the coachmen awake one by one, and said to them, "Please lead the horses to the stone pavilion, and be quiet." ”
Several coachmen did the same.
Andonara, on the other hand, woke up the apprentices and brought them from the pit.
After looking around and making sure everyone was there, Roland flicked his fingers.
The dirt outside the pavilion began to boil, and then the thick dirt was pulled upwards, and finally closed on top of the heads of Roland and the others, turning into rock.
In this way, a four-meter-high circular arch enclosed them all, leaving no gaps.
Roland sighed.
Making such a large building in one go is indeed a bit of a wasted spirit.
Andonara leaned over and asked, "What do you see?" ”
"Something weird, chasing seven or eight mercenaries." Roland thought for a moment and said, "They're coming in our direction. ”
"It's the bright light that draws them here." Andonara looked at the illuminator ball above her head, "They're probably looking for help." ”
Roland nodded, which is why he made this airtight, room-like rock cladding.
"Then how are we supposed to know what's going on out there?" Vivien asked.
"I've got three Scouting Magic Spiders outside."
In Roland's mind, every second or two, a picture was teleported by the magic spider.
Seven or eight mercenaries were running in the rain in embarrassment, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
They ran quickly, turning back from time to time, and farther away, several strange humanoid black shadows were also running.
However, their running posture is somewhat strange, from time to time they will lean down, accelerate with their forelimbs, and after running to a certain speed, they will stand up again and make strange roaring sounds.
Among the fleeing mercenaries, there was a bearded man, and he suddenly shouted, "Why is the bright light just now gone?" ”
"It must have been deliberately lost, and some of their scouts should have seen the movement on our side and continued to run over." One of the mercenaries shouted panting.
Several people sped up, and it didn't take long for them to come to the place where Roland and the others had stayed.
Then they froze.
Because it was night, it was raining again, and their vision was very dark and dark, but they could still see that there was a strange giant rock bag in front of them.
I ran around the rock pack, but I didn't find any entrances at all, and there were no doors or windows.
"No one?"
A few people looked around, and their hearts gradually cooled.
The bearded man cried out in grief: "Those cowards should have run away, and when they saw danger, they all ran away." ”
The faces of the group of mercenaries turned very depressed, mixed with fear and despair.
Behind it, there was the sound of a large number of creatures running on the water, which rattled.
The leading mercenary leaned against the huge rock bag and shouted, "Don't think about it so much, let's fight with them, kill one enough." ”
Several of the mercenaries immediately leaned their backs against the rock packs, raised their weapons, and pointed in the direction of the running.
A dozen humanoid black shadows rushed fifteen meters in front of them and stopped, then spread out, encircling them in a semicircle.
The last black swarm of bats descended from the sky and turned into a beautiful human woman. Dressed in an off-the-shoulder black dress, the rain was kept out by the magic shield on her body.
"Hehe, why don't you run away?"
