This time the harvest is quite rich, not to mention that the level has been upgraded to level 18, the blood energy has exceeded 10,000 points, and the most important thing is that the overall number of [Undead Warriors] has risen to 23! This includes the assassins, except for the ordinary minions of level 11~12, the average level of the others is above level 15.

The next morning, Locke, Telisa, Beckman, the Silver Hunter, the Assassin, and the Greataxe Warrior rode out of town on horseback in the direction of the bandits' den.

Shortly after they left, a small group of others sneaked away with them.

On the avenue, Beckman and the hunters discussed the plan of the attack in the front, Locke and Teresa sat in the carriage in the middle of the group, the left and right sides were guarded by two defensive warriors on horseback, and the rear of the team was in charge of the assassins and the great axe warriors, and the rangers took the lead to explore the way.

The group marched towards the bandits' den in a majestic manner, as if a noble team was traveling.

"Young Master, try this...... What are you looking at? Teresa broke a slice of orange and shoved it into Locke's mouth, who was sitting next to her, but then noticed that Locke seemed to be reaching out and gesturing at the air next to him.

"It's nothing, this orange is quite sweet." Locke said with a smile as he put away the system panel.

"Hey, hey, yes."

Since the big war is imminent, you have to adjust your skills.

Spend 3,000 points of blood energy to upgrade the tentacles to level 6, choose to increase the [Hardening] skill, and choose to increase the number when you spend 5,000 points to upgrade to level 7, then you now have 5 thick and hard tentacles.

There are now 2314 points of blood energy left.

Later, in the skill bar, [Undead Warrior] selected 5 level 10 minions to combine with the assassin, raising his level from level 15 to level 16.

Number of Undead Warriors decreased from 23 to 18.

I don't know if there will be enough of them when attacking the bandits' den, but in any case, the assassin must be taken care of, and if he accidentally separates from Telisa, he can still provide protection in the shadows.

"Young master." Wearing a black hood, Ralph, rode his horse to the carriage window side by side, while gesturing behind him.

"I know." Locke turned his head to take a look - from the moment he left the town, he was followed by a group of 'tails', maybe it was the spies of the bandits' den, or maybe the rest of the group that the church killed last night, but when he ordered the great-axe warriors to ride over and drive them away, they all fled backwards, and then slowly gathered together and followed closely behind them like dogskin plasters.

"Judging by their attire, they don't look like people from the stockade." The assassin who was running parallel to the carriage turned to look behind him and said, "It's like the mercenaries in that town." ”

"What are you doing with a bunch of war dogs?" Locke frowned in thought.

Teresa straightened up and looked at the back window of the carriage for a moment, then said, "Hmm...... They're either going to be around while Beckman is on their errands, picking up a leak or something. It's also possible that you're here for you, young master. With that, he turned to look at Locke.

"Me?" Locke suddenly seemed to understand something, but motioned for her to continue.

Seeing that her proposal attracted attention, Teresa excitedly sat back in her place and stared at him with light blue eyes and said, "Although I don't know why the young master came out on a trip, I think you should want Beckman and them to do something." But when everyone is gone, and you have no one around to protect you, then the group that follows you has a chance. ”

Looking at the girl talking eloquently in front of him, Locke suddenly felt that he had made a mistake about something...... You can't hide it from her everywhere because you are afraid that she will be hurt, and protect her like a dumpling, which can only backfire. The girl will grow up after all, and in this troubled world, she should be allowed to be independent as soon as possible.

Faced with Telisa's question, Locke did not answer directly, and looked down at her hands - the teddy bear that had been held in his arms was gone......

But as she grows, will that aggressive second personality disappear or will it gradually merge and replace her current personality?

"Young Master? What happened to you? Seeing that Locke didn't speak, Teresa leaned over and asked.

Looking at her drooping silver-white braids and the looming appearance of her neckline, Locke reached out and gently touched her small forehead, and said with a smile, "Your collar is loose." ”

"Huh?!" Realizing her condition, Teresa quickly sat up straight, lowered her head and covered her neckline, and then blushed and straightened the buttons on her collar.

Looking at the reckless girl next to her, Locke shook her head with a wry smile, she still has a long way to go to grow up.

However, for her question, Locke naturally had a way, and then turned his head to look at the assassin riding a horse outside the window of the carriage next to him, and said: "In the past, under the reconnaissance of their strength, if it is too high, find a way to weaken it, and if it is lower than me, come back and report it directly." ”

"Obey the young master."

The assassin said yes and immediately rode away from the group.

Now the convoy is not driving on an endless plain, and there are many boulders and trees scattered all over the place, which can provide hiding for the assassins and their men and horses.

"Got a way? Master Locke? Telisa, who was next to her, finished tidying up her black and white maid outfit, and subconsciously asked after seeing the assassin outside the window leave.

Locke looked at her and said mysteriously, "Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't do anything?" ”

......

The guy who followed Locke's carriage was none other than Barron, the 'negotiator' who had tried to bargain with Locke last night and was finally scared away, and a group of mercenaries who smelled like him, numbering 10 in total.

The mercenaries rode their horses and whispered in the back, a group of people complaining about why they were following a convoy of nobles this time.

Facing the muttering rabble behind him, the mercenary captain turned his head to look at it, and then asked Barron, who was walking side by side next to him, "You'd better give a letter of approval, otherwise the guys in the back will stop doing it." ”

"Don't stress buddy." Barron smiled and said, "As far as I know, the bandits who came to our town to rob yesterday came from the stockade in front of them, and the little young master seems to want to take people over to the stockade when it is empty." ”

The mercenary captain frowned and asked, "Are you trying to take the opportunity to pick up the leak?" ”

"We had two options: one was that when they attacked, we could take advantage of the chaos and go to the main camp of the stockade, which was said to have a lot of treasures. If the guards there are too strong, then retreat and ...... this young master when there is no one around" Barron didn't continue, and made a gesture of arrest.

The mercenary leader pondered for a moment and asked, "Can it be done?" There seemed to be a lot of masters next to him. ”

Barron said confidently: "It will take a lot of people to attack that stockade, and there are only so many people next to him, and they will definitely be all on board, and when the time comes...... Hehehehehe......"

"Oh ~ clam clam clam ~" (to be continued)
