Although the commission is good, it is not as important as a small life.

Stanley only roughly analyzed it, and he already had a calculation in his heart - at present, these hands of the Bobcat mercenary group have no way to fight head-on to take down Her Royal Highness the princess.

Fortunately, however, this was not the case with Count Lambert's instructions.

The Earl just needed them to get in the way of the princess's trip. Stanley and his Bobcat mercenary group did not have the only plan to fight head-on for this ambush.

"Bess, you take your team up the hill above."

"Enzo, you and your team go to the top of the mountain, move quickly, pay attention to concealment, and don't be discovered."

"Others, stay here for the time being, keep quiet."

Orders from Stanley, the leader of the Lynx mercenary group, were issued one by one, and these lurking mercenaries immediately stumbled into action.

The cavalry in the forest path seemed to be unconscious.

As you ride through the forest, the peaks on both sides become steeper as you enter the valley – they may not be too high, but the walls are still terrifying.

A great place to set up an ambush.

Fred Wolfe noticed what he saw, and a little alarm suddenly arose in his heart. Such a dangerous terrain is too conducive to the enemy's ambush -

He suddenly noticed that there was not even a single bird in the vicinity.

Thundered.

It's the sound of something huge in weight rolling down the valley.

The voices came and went, and a dull roar suddenly echoed in the valley.

There was a misty amount of dust wafting through the air.

Then there is the soft "whoosh" of the sharp weapon breaking through the wind.

"Enemy attack!"

The group shouted in unison, and the well-trained cavalry quickly dismounted, propped up their shields, and protected Fred and Princess Samantha in the center.

Unlike the light cavalry, which is usually used for combat or patrolling the territory, many of the cavalry in this team are wearing the kind of long iris-shaped shields with slightly convex curved surfaces and quite good protective performance.

The crisp tinkling of the crash was like raindrops.

The arrow hit the shield.

A look of anger appeared on Fred's face.

The valley is less than two days away from the Taron Fortress and is still part of the Taron region according to the territory of Nogo. But someone actually launched an ambush here.

On the territory of the Wolf family, an ambush was launched against the heirs of the Wolf family.

Leaving aside the possible results of this ambush, the act itself was like a heavy slap in the face of the Wolf family.

What's more, there is also the "White Rose" of the royal family, the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Samantha in this team.

This is almost the equivalent of a declaration of war.

After a few moments, the dust cleared.

There were no casualties, except for some of the horses who were injured by the arrows they fired. Fred and Samantha were guarded in the center of the cavalry, and the other cavalry, including Cohen, were all dressed in fine iron armor, and these ordinary bow and arrow strikes could hardly cause significant damage to this team.

Stanley had already begun to beckon his mercenaries to prepare to retreat.

He brought seventy or eighty men and sisters with him. But in the face of that cavalry team, he knew very well that he and his mercenary group were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat strength.

For the head-on fight, he has long given up his original plan.

On the slopes and summits of the hills near this valley, they had arranged some logs and rolling stones in the past few days, which had been intended to be coordinated with the Packet Offensive, but now, having completed all these arrangements, he gave the decisive order to retreat.

The shouts of the cavalry.

Fred drew his sword.

Princess Samantha in the saddle had a calm face, unlike those delicate noble daughters, in the face of an unknown enemy's ambush in the face of these few minutes, she barely changed her face.

This also gave Talen's rangers a new understanding of the princess.

Samantha's fingers landed on the saber's gauntlet.

The gaze pierces through the dust.

Numerous noisy footsteps can already be heard.

This was a dereliction of duty on the part of the scouts, but Fred did not reprimand him at this point.

The cavalry formed a line and circled the valley upwards—a shallow valley that would not take much time to reach the ambushers.

Moreover, this team is led by a true knight who is close to the first level of awakening, Fred Wolfe.

Princess Samantha still follows him.

This time he had made up his mind that he must catch these guys - the point of catching them alive is needless to say, not only to find out the origin of the enemy and find out who is behind the scenes, but also to grasp some tricks.

The handle of some people.

Fred already had a guess in his mind.

This is something very important in the power game between the nobility and the nobility.

Samantha remained silent, her tranquil temperament as spotless as a white lotus out of the mud, and in the midst of the noisy fighting, she only galloped through the speeding cavalry with skillful horsemanship.

"Captain, what should I do?"

The view from the hillside was wide, and seeing the dust raised by the horses' hooves in the distance, the dull sound of hooves became clearer and clearer in his ears, and a mercenary shouted at Stanley.

He and his side were standing in a large circle of people, the same ones who had just launched the rain of arrows.

The thirty or forty horsemen, judging from the aristocratic attire of the one at the head, seem to be the eldest son of the Wolf family, Fred Wolfe, who is also the fiancé of Her Royal Highness Princess Samantha.

Stanley's face was a little gloomy.

The ambushed cavalry did not panic at all, and reacted extremely quickly, avoiding logs and boulders rolling down the valley, and blocking long-range bow and arrow attacks with their long kites.

It's a pity they didn't bring a crossbow with them this time, but this is not the time to regret it.

As a mercenary who can follow Count Lambert's side, Stanley's greatest advantage compared to his other peers is that he has more brains.

Calm and sly, quiet and cunning.

The mercenary leader ripped a few of his beards from his hands, and although the ambush did not bear the expected results, he was fully prepared.

Leeway.

More often than not, he and his group of Bobcats relied on flesh and blood.

Stanley gave instructions on the spot.

……

Walking through the wide streets of the city of Karsus, Gross and his party passed a tall, leafy maple tree, which in the early winter months, sometimes sheds golden maple leaves, and on the other side of the street, there is a signboard.

"Bargain ale for two soles!"

Levin, who was literate, shouted at the sign, turned his head to look at his companions, and finally looked at Gross, the leader of the bandits.
