On a rugged forest path, a cavalry contingent is moving slowly.

In this situation, even if they want to slow down, the road under their feet is very narrow, and from time to time there are some broken branches, which are not suitable for horses to walk.

"Damn, I didn't come to this kind of place if I knew I wouldn't have come, it's really troublesome."

Karl irritated himself as he cut off the branches in front of him and roared under his breath.

Although they had entered the area on the outskirts of the Venomara Forest, they would have to travel some way to reach the town.

If it weren't for Viscount Quinn's order, I'm afraid he would have been in the arms of the widow of the Andy family.

Hell, I hope I can get this done soon.

Karl cursed and continued to drive the horse forward.

Suddenly, the henchman guard behind him spoke up, "Lord Karl, something seems to be wrong around here......

"Well, something is wrong?"

Carl's heart moved, and he quickly looked around.

I saw that all around was lush trees, and perhaps because the dark clouds blocked the sun, the surroundings became a little dark.

If there is an enemy in this position, I am afraid that all of them will be more than lucky.

In an instant, Karl's heart was shocked, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

However, he soon put these fears behind him.

Hmph, that can't happen.

First of all, not many people knew about them when they came here, and there were no nobles in the vicinity who dared to get along with Gale Town.

So...... They will not be ambushed at all.

"Don't worry, just watch out for those damn beasts."

Karl smiled disdainfully and said to the henchmen guard behind him.

As for the guarding forces of that remote town?

Carl didn't even think about it, because the information he had collected said that there were only a dozen old and sick guards in that town.

“…………”

The guard didn't give up, still looking around vigilantly.

Although there were no visions around him, his instincts told him that a danger was looming, approaching them like a poisonous snake.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed slowly in the forest path.

Is it really your own delusion?

Just as the guard began to doubt his judgment, the temperature suddenly dropped around him, as if winter was falling.

"Master Karl......"

Before the guard could say anything, there was a loud bang, and a dark blue mist suddenly appeared on the road beneath his feet, and a bitter cold wind came to his face.

Before everyone could react, they felt a biting cold coming from their bodies, as if they had fallen into a pool of ice.

"Damn, there's an ambush."

"Don't panic, find out where the enemy is, and raise your damn shield."

In an instant, panicked shouts rang out in the narrow forest path.

"What the hell, what bastards dare to provoke us in Gale Wind."

At this time, the only one who did not have a self-chaotic position was Carl, the cavalry captain of the Black Iron Level 8.

The moment he saw the blue light, he realized that he had encountered a magic trap, who knows if there are other traps under his feet, and to fall into a panic is to kill himself.

"You bastards, calm me down. Now all of them immediately dismount from their horses, take their weapons in hand, and obey my orders. ”

Karl yelled impatiently at the cavalry behind him.

As soon as the words fell, the noise around him immediately decreased a lot, and the panicked brain regained its calm.

"How can my horse freeze......"

Suddenly, a shocked voice rang out from the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at the horses under their crotches.

Suddenly, they found that at some point, all four feet of the horses were covered in thick ice, and even their armor was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Damn, what the hell is going on?

In desperation, the cavalry of Gale Town cursed and jumped off their horses.

They don't dare to take this kind of ambush situation lightly, after all, any small detail can take a life.

"Hey man, don't you know that we're from Gale Wind?"

Karl held his shield in front of him, clutched the knight's sword in his other hand, and shouted at the jungle around him.

Although he didn't know who the enemy was, he believed that the name of Gale Wind was enough to make the nearby thieves or noble guards jealous.

After all, Gale Town is the most powerful force in the vicinity, and there is no one.

However, his inquiry was not answered, and there was still a dead silence around him.

"Master Karl, what should we do now?"

"Wait a while, if there is no movement, let's move on, and as for the horses, stay here."

A fierce glint flashed in Karl's eyes, and he said coldly.

Even if they hadn't encountered this icy trouble trap, the horses would not have been able to walk on this stretch of road, which would have been slow and would have caused more trouble.

So he decided to ditch these means of transportation and move on.

If he only lost some horses, he would be scolded at most, but if he didn't complete Viscount Quinn's task, I am afraid that the end would be worse than death.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat oozed from Karl's back.

With a thud, a lost little squirrel passed through the branches, and the sound it caused immediately tensed the nerves of the knights.

"Scout, you go check if there are any magic traps around first, and the others are following me."

At this time, Karl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered to the more than five hundred cavalry behind him: "Guys, now it's time for us to start again, we must reach that town before dark." ”

In his opinion, those who attacked should have been terrified when they heard the name of Gale Town, so they had already left the place.

Hmph, don't let me know who you are, or you'll try to regret it.

"Ahh

Just as Carl pondered how to get revenge on his attacker, two screams pulled him back from his fantasy.

Looking closely, they saw the two scouts standing in place, dozens of sharp rock spikes piercing their chests, blood flowing down the wounds, forming a large pool of blood.

"What the hell...... Who were those attackers? ”

Carl stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, almost speechless.

Judging by the traps triggered by the two scouts just now, there are at least a hundred magic traps in the road ahead.

Now he almost wondered if Gale Wind had offended any mage recently, or who would have spent a lot of money setting up so many magic traps to ambush them.

You know, it's not easy to set a magic trap.

Unbeknownst to Carl, however, these traps didn't cost Sulu a single gold coin at all, as they were all crafted from prisoners in the Endless Prison, and Sulu could get them for a small amount of soul points.

"Oh my God, these magic traps are so powerful?"

At this time, Sulu, who was watching the whole process from a distance, was already in a state of stunned.

He never expected that the power of the magic trap would kill two cavalrymen in an instant, which was beyond his imagination.

If those guys go any further, I'm afraid the magic trap will wipe them out.

However, such an idea was quickly abandoned by Sulu.

Because he knew very well that magic traps could have such an effect, largely because of the contempt of those cavalry, even if they changed their path slightly, they could avoid those immobile traps.
