After thinking about it, the viscount didn't have any good way. In the end, he could only send a letter to Lance, hoping to pay the ransom for the baron.

The intelligence secrecy work in the coalition forces was also very sparse, and Xiao Yan soon knew the situation. Hale was also glad to send the minions down the mountain to humiliate the coalition forces, and also demanded that the coalition return their respective territories and send a ransom of 500 gold coins before he could return the baron.

"The space is obviously a simple task, but judging from the scene of the attack, it is still very difficult to defeat the bandits~" Xiao Yan wandered around the camp while thinking.

"Could it be that the completion of this task is not enough for the coalition forces alone, but still depends on the contractor?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the easiest way ......"

Although the hill occupied by Reims is an extension of the corner of the mountain range, in order to facilitate access, the mountain is relatively close to the plain. Xiao Yan was also expected of the situation at this time, and he had already made arrangements, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while. After all, the strategy he wants to adopt will also be difficult to implement, and it is likely to be resolutely resisted by Galadia and Sonya.

At this time, the traveler and the bishop actually came over, and when they saw Xiao Yan from a distance, they greeted him.

"Your Excellency Blanton is really interested." The two of them came to greet him with a relaxed look.

"It's a crisp autumn, and in the original world, I have to go on outdoor adventures every year." The traveler looked at the yellow leaves on the mountain with some interest.

"No, the mood is also comfortable in this wild world." The bishop nodded, "It's just that we're a little sorry that we're being bound here by this little thief." ”

"Okay, okay, the two of you must have a thief's plan!" Xiao Yan waved his hand and smiled, "It just so happens that I have it too." ”

"It's a pity that I don't know whether to talk about it or not." The traveler had a "well, I understand, I understand" expression on his face.

"Then we might as well write it in the palm of our hands and spread it out together." The bishop laughed even more lewdly.

At that moment, the three of them wrote the plan in the palm of their hands, and circled around, you look at me, I look at you.

"So, what do you think?" After that, the three of them spread their hands together. The same word was written in the palms of the three people.

"Fire!"

"Hahaha, it's really the same as what heroes see." The traveler laughed loudly, "This gang of bandits is also ignorant, this mountain is actually quite gentle, and the reason why it is not appropriate to attack is all due to dense forests. It's fine in the past, but now it's dry, and it's really a time when wildfires are prone to occur. ”

"These demons have died like this, so you might as well purify them with fire." The bishop said lightly, "The three of us have a lot of fire oil in our bags, so we must have planned to do so." ”

Before the contractors arrived, they had procured a considerable amount of auxiliary materials and loaded them in carts to transport them. Although Galadia had no intention of setting fire to the mountain, she also felt that it was a good idea to use fire oil to deal with the mountain monsters before, so she didn't ask too much.

Why was the contractor able to resort to such a vicious plan, and the viscount and baron would not be able to think of it? The reason for this is not that they are kind and gentle, but because in addition to the baron, Lance's hostages are also the families of many manor owners, small nobles and big merchants who have been plundered by him before. Not to mention that a fire burns the hostages clean, even the thieves tear up the tickets themselves, which is also a very embarrassing thing to say.

In addition, the baron who was just captured as a friendly army, if it was spread that the viscount had lost his minions to his opponent on the battlefield, and then he was angry and let the lowly bandits bury the noble baron, then Viscount Sindra would not have to mix in the noble circle.

Therefore, the plan of setting fire to the mountain is impossible for the aristocratic coalition to do.

However, if they can't do it, it doesn't mean that the contractor can't do it.

At that moment, Xiao Yan and the three of them took action and arranged fires around the densely wooded places under the mountain.

That night, the victorious Lance was drinking in the halls of the bandits' base camp. Two scantily clad women waited cautiously. Lance was in a very good mood, and he ate two pounds of bloody steak, two large glasses of spirits, and most of the jars of honey. The vicious bandit was so fond of this sweet that he smeared the rest of the honey on a lamb chop and chewed it with the meat and bones.

The hapless Baron Hale was well bandaged and chained under the steps. Lance's two rows of fangs were as sharp and sharp as a shark's fangs, making a terrifying sound as he ate the bones.

"Lord Baron, you can do it too!" Lance glanced at the trembling baron at the bottom of the steps, threw the half-gnawed bone in his hand at him, "Eat! ”

Baron Hale looked at the sticky saliva on his bones, disgusted to death, and didn't know whether to take it or not.

Lance was about to have a seizure when he suddenly heard a miserable shout outside.

"It's on fire!"

In autumn, the dry branches and leaves crackled in the fire and burned so fast that in the blink of an eye, they burned halfway up the mountain, and burned the gates halfway up the mountain.

The fire burned more and more violently with the strong wind of the night, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the dark night as if it were day. The coalition forces looked down the mountain in panic and looked up the burnt mountain, Viscount Sindra's face as white as paper in the firelight.

"I didn't expect it to burn so fast." The traveler's entire face was blackened when he set the fire.

"yes, I almost got caught in the fire I lit." The bishop's hair was lost in half.

Xiao Yan looked at the raging mountain fire without saying a word, and was about to say something, when the flames on the top of the mountain suddenly set off a stream of fire, which frightened the three of them to take a step back. The flames that covered the entire mountain were like fire demons wielding long whips, making people feel extremely weak and frightened in their hearts.

"Pity the poor people who have been taken captive by the bandits." Xiao Yan sighed.

"Flowers bloom and fall, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. This world is full of withering and regret. The traveler said silently.

……

Viscount Sindra was awakened from his bed, and was immediately pulled out of the tent by his anxious men.

"How so!" The raging wildfires have engulfed the bandits' entrenched hills, and the raging heat can be felt even from the bottom of the mountain.

The Viscount stared in shock at the fire at the top of the hill, the light of which reflected his pale face.

"Prepare the soldiers, go up the mountain as soon as the fire is extinguished tomorrow!"

The wildfires raged wildly all night and then gradually stopped. There are many water systems and cliffs in the Black Mountain Range, and the wildfires have not spread to a wider area.

The once lush hills were all that remained of pitch-black ashes, and the old camp of bandits, protected by dense woods, was left with only a few ruins after the fire raged.
