In the dark night sky, fireballs were constantly flying around, and occasionally sharp crossbow arrows were streaked across the night sky.

In this dark mountain forest, both sides seem to dare not rush again, and can only use long-range attacks to attack.

However, the spectacular firestorm like the one before has never been seen again.

Song Zheng didn't know much about the magic of this world, but the battle in front of him was an excellent example of a magical battle for him.

Judging from the frequency of the release of magic on both sides, the release of magic in this world requires a long chanting time, and may even require some special spell casting materials, such as the Flame Storm is likely to have special requirements, otherwise if the mage in the Syndicate releases a Flame Storm on the knights' camp, it is estimated that the effect will be amazing.

Of course, the most important thing is that Song Zheng found that although the power of these fireball techniques was not small, there were some problems with their accuracy.

"This real-world magic doesn't seem to automatically track the target......"

This discovery made Song Zheng a little happy in his heart, because judging from the fireball technique in front of him, his casting speed and flying speed were not fast, and he should be able to dodge it if he was prepared, especially after using the ability of 'sprinting', he was sure that this fireball technique would definitely not hit him.

It also made him less afraid of mages.

However, the stalemate in front of him still worries him.

Although Gianna's side has good strength, it is still the enemy after all, and those knights are not even willing to retreat easily, which is easy to be plotted by the other party.

In particular, the Syndicate thieves seem to have been prepared, and may well have set up an ambush in this valley.

"Could it be that there are some syndicate thieves in this team?" Song Zheng felt a chill in his heart.

This time, the team that followed Gianna was huge, and there were a large number of merchants among them, and it was almost impossible to prevent outsiders from infiltrating.

Especially the Syndicate thieves who originally belonged to the area, most of whom even had the status of another nobleman, and it was easy for them to do something.

If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get out this time.

Sal, who was beside him, was also watching this battle seriously, even more carefully than Song Zheng.

Song Zheng knew the ambition in his heart, and he was probably carefully observing the combat situation of the human race in order to gain some experience from it.

From the standpoint of human beings, it is naturally best to strangle the future tribal chieftain at this point of despair, but thinking that Sal has rescued him several times, Song Zheng can't do it at all, not to mention that he doesn't plan to change the historical trend of this world too much.

At this moment, there were many people hiding near the carriage, and there were still people behind them who were crawling and crawling to hide in this direction.

Song Zheng hid here one step earlier, but occupied the best position.

It's just that as more and more people are hiding under this carriage, he is also squeezed into a corner.

"Please, the friends inside are troublesome, I'm willing to give a gold coin to change positions, no...... I'm willing to give ten gold coins......"

Song Zheng had to move some of his body due to the overcrowding, but suddenly a feeling of danger came from his heart, and at the same time, a hard thing touched his ribs.

"Someone sneaked up!" Song Zheng immediately sensed that it was a dagger, but because the leather armor on his body was too thick, and being under this carriage, it was inconvenient for the attacker to use a large attack action, so he could not pierce his leather armor.

"There's a thief sneaking in!" Song Zheng kicked the guy who attacked him away without hesitation, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand also stabbed him in the face quickly.

As he shouted, there was chaos around him, and the people who had been hiding near the carriage immediately dispersed, looking for a new place to hide.

After the sneak attack thief missed the blow, he immediately retreated quickly with Song Zheng's kick, trying to escape from here.

However, Thrall next to him had already rushed out to grab his throat, and in an instant, he was completely immobile.

Song Zheng had to feel that Sal's gladiator training was extremely good and effective, but at this moment, he couldn't allow him to hesitate too much, and immediately assassinated the sneak attacker with the dagger in his hand.

"These people know where we are!" Thrall muttered, leaving the corpse in his hand far away.

Song Zheng immediately felt a chill in his heart, this was not good news.

He didn't hide his face all the way, and it was normal for him to be recognized, not to mention that he had been with Thrall all the time on this day, and the green-skinned orc was by his side, which could be described as a significant target.

"Gotta find a safer place to hide." Song Zheng said in a low voice, the other party sent a thief to sneak attack this time, and next time it may be a big fireball!

Just as the two of them were looking around, about to find a new hiding place, a figure rushed over.

Sal was about to make an interception, but was stopped by Song Zheng.

With his excellent night vision, he could already see people clearly...... This was a young paladin, and he had seen this young paladin charge with a team of knights towards the syndicate thieves who were hiding in the shadows, and he estimated that his status in this team was not low.

"What's going on here?" The young paladin asked hurriedly, and since the carriage was so close to the knights' position, the commotion here had obviously caught his attention.

"It's nothing, a syndicate thief sneaked up and tried to sneak up on me, but luckily my leather armor was very defensive and I wasn't hurt." Song Zheng hurriedly explained.

"A thief has touched you? What about the thieves? The young paladin frowned, which was not good news for him either.

The carriage was already very close to the knights' defensive line, and since the syndicate thieves could get here quietly, they could naturally get close to the shield wall formed by the knights.

"The thief has been killed by us." Song Zheng pointed to the corpse in the distance.

"These goddamn syndicate thieves...... Come with me, it's not safe here. The young paladin complained as he hurriedly beckoned Song Zheng and the others to leave with him.

"Okay." Song Zheng was very decisive, and immediately beckoned Sal to follow the young paladin with him.

However, Sal seemed a little hesitant, and hesitated for a moment before keeping up with Song Zheng's pace.

With the leadership of this young paladin, after Song Zheng and the others approached the shield wall erected by those knights, those knights immediately made a gap and let him and Sal enter the center of the defense, but many of them looked at Sal with a strange gaze.
