Ten minutes later, Dudley came out of a nearby room, his clothes had changed, but the smell of urine was still there, and he was groggy.

Although the powerful paralyzing poison on Jiang Zheng's dagger has volatilized a lot, there is still a residual effect. Dudley's neck was scratched and stained some. With his physique, it is estimated that he will be groggy all day long, saving him from finding trouble.

"Dudley, you sit outside. Basil Knights, Harold Knights, it's getting late, we have to get to the nearest town or village before nightfall, the wilderness is dangerous. Don't worry about me, I can hold on. Master Nolan frowned, few people knew that he had a slight cleanliness fetish.

Dudley ...... disgusted him.

If he had known that Dudley was such a person, he would not have accepted him as an apprentice at all, and no matter how many gold coins Baron Thorosen sent, he would never accept him.

Mage, there is dignity!

"Got it, Master Nolan." Harold agreed.

Basil, Harold, and two knights rode their horses.

Horses, especially war horses, are very precious, and ordinary royal guards are not qualified to ride war horses, so they can only walk. As for Jiang Zheng, he had to follow them on foot.

It's not fast.

The wild of Azeroth is very dangerous, and the chaotic energy everywhere makes the creatures of this world extremely fierce, not only larger and faster than their counterparts on Earth, but some even have magical abilities, making them veritable magical beasts.

Half-human-tall woodland wolves, millstone-sized nocturnal spiders, swarms of nocturnal bats, and a large number of Tirisfal deer and Tirisfal woodland bears are the biggest threats to wilderness travel.

Within five kilometers of Lordaeron City, it was relatively safe, because there were patrolling security guards, and the beasts did not dare to approach.

But a little farther away, all kinds of wild beasts began to appear.

After leaving ten kilometers, the group was attacked.

Dozens of woodland wolves actually took advantage of the darkness to attack them!

Fortunately, these royal guards were well-trained, and soon formed a complete defensive phalanx, and defended with all their might under the command of Harold, the knight of the kingdom, and then Master Nolan and a low-level mage named "Connie" attacked, and several fireball spells killed seven or eight wolves, and several were hacked to death by the royal guards, and then retreated.

As night fell, the group finally arrived at the nearest town.

This small town called "Bunolore" is not large, with a population of less than 3,000, which is far less than the 10,000-person town "Brill" in the northwest. The mayor and magistrate, a baron, gave them a warm welcome and ordered them to be sent to the inn to rest.

At this moment, in a private house not far from the hotel, several people in different clothes were secretly discussing.

"The intelligence is wrong, in addition to Master Nolan and a beginner mage, a mage apprentice, and twelve Lordaeron royal guards, the escort also includes a Kingdom Knight, and a mid-level paladin, as well as a thief apprentice."

"Timol's wolves failed to find out the details of those people, the spell-casting ability of the Nolan mage is stronger than expected, the royal guards cooperate tacitly, and the command ability of that kingdom knight is very strong!"

"It has been investigated that Harold Coleman, the knight of the kingdom, took the initiative to invite Ying to join the escort, and he is going to the Tirisfa Monastery to receive recruit training from the Knights of the Silver Hand! The mid-level paladin Basil Luthor is Harold's guide to the Light, and the examiner of the Paladin's Apprentice Trial a few days ago, and a student of the Lightbringer Uther, and a squad leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand! ”

"Shadow Watcher Kearnor has sent news that the thief's apprentice's name is 'Nicholas Jiang', and it is likely that he knows the identity of Baron Thorosen, who once defeated a beginner assassin of the Cult of God, and his strength is not weak! Kearn's order was that Dudley's safety must be guaranteed and that he be taken to the Psychic Academy as a hostage to make Baron Thorosen obedient! As for Nicholas, kill it! ”

"Our people are not strong enough, the original plan has been cancelled, and Timol has gone to Brill to ask for reinforcements! Two days later, set up an ambush between the clear water lake and the poisonous spider canyon! One hit kills! ”

It was late at night, and the royal guards took turns to be on guard, Jiang Zai was lying on the bed frowning, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Nicholas, are you thinking about those woodland wolves?" Harold didn't sleep either, not even taking off his full body armor, and so did Paladin Basil.

A few mages in one room, one room for him and Harold and Basil, and one room for the other guards.

"Hmm." Jiang Zai nodded and said, "There is something wrong with that group of wolves." They don't feel like they're trying to kill us, they're trying to test our strength. ”

The smile on Harold's face faded away, and he nodded, "Those wolves, someone controls them." Maybe a mage who is proficient in mind control, a shadow priest, or a hunter who is skilled in beast control. We...... Targeted. ”

Jiang Zai frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

He knew that all of this was probably related to Baron Thorosen and the Cursed Sect.

Aside from the Cursed Sect, he couldn't think of anyone else in the Tirisfal Glade, the hinterland of the Lordaeron Kingdom, who would dare to deal with such a strong team.

Orcs?

No, no, the remaining orcs have long been integrated by the new tribal chieftain Thrall, and now they prefer to hide in Tibet, it is impossible to venture in such a place at this time, and those orcs should be in the area of the Alterac Mountains, not here.

Ogre? It's even more impossible, they don't have the brain, and their huge size can't come to this woodland quietly.

It can only be a cursed sect.

Jiang Zheng knew very well the strength of the Cursed Sect, and even the Barov family, which had intricate relationships and intertwined forces, and had large fiefs in the two kingdoms of Lordaeron and Alterac, had become the slaves of the Cursed Sect, and how many people in the entire Lordaeron had become their people?

Nobody knows.

"What the hell are they trying to do? It's impossible to start such a big battle to kill me, and if you want to kill me, it's not so easy to get past the level of Nolan Mage, Basil Paladin, and Harold Knight. Or is it just trying to deal with the rest of us? Or...... Something to do with Dudley's fat pig? ”

Jiang Zai couldn't guess, but one thing he knew was clear:

It's going to be tough along the way.

"Nicholas, don't worry. The wolves didn't test our true strength, Lord Basil didn't make a move, neither did I, Master Nolan threw a few fireballs casually, and you didn't make a move, those people, no matter who they were, didn't dare to deal with us in a human town, and there were hundreds of security guards in this town. Get a good night's sleep, you'll have to go tomorrow. Harold patted Jiang Zai on the shoulder and fell asleep.

Jiang Zai glanced at Harold and noticed that the armor on his body had still not been taken off, and the knight's sword was placed in a place where he could reach it at hand, obviously not as relaxed as he said.

"Forget it, with two knights here, so many guards on duty outside, and the magic guard set by Master Nolan, it shouldn't be a problem. Get some sleep, just don't sleep too hard. Jiang Zheng finally closed his eyes.
