After listening to Knight Ron's description, Li Xiang and Yang Qianyu glanced at each other in astonishment. As a mid-level upper-rank fighter, Ron can definitely rank in the top ten among the knights of the Rog Knights under Kasha, but he almost lost his life in the face of that assassin, and it seems that the opponent's strength is indeed not weak.

After noticing the reaction of Li, Yang and the others, Ron Knight's face couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment. As the most powerful master of the Rogge Knights, it is indeed a shame to suffer such a big loss in a skirmish night battle. But he really can't be blamed for that. The mainstream professions of the martial arts department, such as 'swordsman', 'gladiator', 'spearman', etc., are all good at head-to-head combat, and when it comes to sneak attacks, they are really not as good as the more out-of-the-way 'assassin', which is good at stealth, hiding, and at the same time has amazing explosive power.

"I have informed the guards of the various villages and towns in the territory, and I will report any suspicious person as soon as I find it." Kasha's timely interjection was just the right time to get Knight Ron out of an awkward situation. "When the time comes, I will personally lead the team to completely solve those miscellaneous pieces."

In the afternoon of the same day, the carriage in which Li Xiang and others were riding drove out of Prailly Castle and returned to Xuanyuan Manor.

At the same time, somewhere in the woods beside the road between the castle and the manor, someone stood on the branch of a large tree, hiding his body in the leaves, and watched them quietly with a long binocular. This man was dressed in a black power suit, with two scimitars hanging from the belt around his waist, and a gray-green cloak wrapped around his body, blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment. His face was covered by a scarf, but judging by his size, he should be male.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, the man in black turned and jumped down from the tree. Under the tree, a young man who looked like a merchant saw the visitor and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Your Excellency."

The man in black nodded in response, and then asked the subordinate dressed as a merchant. "Did you hear the news?"

"I found out." The disguised subordinate replied, "The carriage that went to Prelley Castle today came from a manor near Prailly, the property of a family that had just moved into Prailly. ”

"Isn't it a local tycoon?" The man in black frowned when he heard this.

"It's not." The subordinate replied respectfully. According to the townspeople, the family seems to have come from Harudale County, and somehow they came to be attached to the Earl of Prailly (a noble title for Cassa Leopold, after the name of the territory). In short, the Earl of Praile appeared here after returning from Harudale. And ......" At this point, the subordinate paused in his words, and then continued: "It is rumored that the new liquor business of Prairly seems to have something to do with this family. ”

"So? No wonder. The man in black was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded suddenly. No wonder the Count of Praile came to visit the Count of Praile the day after our operation, it turned out to be for business. ”

"But so what? It's just a new refuge in the Leopold family. The man in black said disdainfully: "It's no wonder that they chose the wrong master, who made the Leopold family go against the adults?" ”

Thinking of this, the man in black sneered and led his subordinates into the depths of the forest, nowhere to be found.

And at the same time as the man in black left. In a carriage on the road.

"The man is gone." Yang Lixue, who was sitting in the carriage, closed her eyes and said. "My owl is following them, and I'm sure I'll find their hiding place soon."

"You're doing a great job, Cher." Li Xiang smiled and encouraged: "Continue to monitor them, don't lose your target." ”

"Got it." Yang Lixue nodded, and then continued to focus on directing the owl to monitor the target.

Li Xiang turned to Yang Qianyu, and his face became serious at the same time. "Lao Yang, I really let you guess. Someone was actually watching the movements of Prailly Castle. ”

"I'm just speculating." Yang Qianyu spread his hands. "These guys have made such a big disturbance in the Prailly Territory, so they will naturally pay attention to the movements of Lord Kasha. I had just taken a chance to suggest that Cher go with her and monitor the trail, but I was clearly lucky. ”

It turned out that Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu, Fu Bin and Sun Xiaoyu were not the only people who traveled to Prelley Castle on this trip, but also Yang Lixue accompanied them. It's just that Yang Lixue never showed up, but hid in the carriage and used the 'Summoning Night Stalker' to conjure up an owl, completely probing the surroundings of Prailly Castle, and finally finding the hidden person who was hiding nearby to monitor the castle's movements.

'Summons a Night Stalker - A support skill that summons an invisible owl as a scout for long-range probing and is able to see through invisibility. The current level is Lv1, the maximum existence time is 24 hours, and two can exist at the same time. ’

The owls summoned by Yang Lixue did not have any combat power, and the fragile ones almost died at the slightest touch. However, its innate stealth ability allows it to ensure its safety to the greatest extent, and its long-term endurance and multiple existable numbers make it the best tracker and scout. It can be said that it is impossible to get rid of the target targeted by Yang Lixue's owl.

"Do you want to inform Operation Kashya?" Fu Bin asked Li Xiang.

"No, we'll be left to the table this time." Li Xiang said. "Sooner or later, we and the warriors and masters in this world will also clash."

"This contest can be regarded as a warm-up exercise."

That night, somewhere in the woods around the town of Praile.

Through the moonlight shining through the shade of the trees, two tents were set up in a small clearing in the forest, and there were shadowy figures around.

The group that attacked the village of Longtam did not leave, although they successfully attacked the village of Longtam once and caused some damage, but their main purpose has not been achieved, and naturally, they have no intention of leaving.

It's just that the previous operation made the Rogge Knights vigilant after all, so it was difficult for this group to launch a new attack in a short period of time. Now they can only lurk cautiously, waiting for the right moment to strike.

According to the common people's thinking, the woodland where the gang is hiding today is not the safest place. After all, this is not far from the village of Longtem and the densely populated town of Prailly, and ordinary thieves naturally won't hide here in vain to avoid trouble after committing the crime, let alone the guys who made such a big deal? It is precisely because ordinary people have such thoughts that after the incident, when the armed personnel of the Prairly Collar were investigating around, they inadvertently neglected this place.
