Chapter 68: An Ambush on the Roadside
The Yellow Oriole Valley Road is the only way from Moonlight Town to Vendôme, there is a group of yellow orioles living in the mountains and forests next to the valley road, every morning, the pedestrians who pass by here listen to the performance of the yellow orioles, they can always get a good mood, and the valley road is also named after this.
The valley road is steep on one side and slightly steep on the other, but it is deeply wooded, full of thorns and poisonous insects, making it extremely difficult to pass.
Just as Rollin rushed back to Vendôme with Lufe, he didn't know that in this beautiful valley road, there was a murderous plot hidden against him.
In the mountains and forests on the side of the valley road, a group of people lay in ambush. These people are covered in tree clothes and grass clothes, and they have perfectly camouflaged themselves in the woods.
One of them, extremely tall and with a stern face, was none other than Sergeant Major Waltson.
Still wearing the sergeant-major armor of courage, he hid behind a bush to receive reports from several scouts.
"The target is already ten miles away, and it is expected to be reached in half an hour."
"There were two people, a man and a woman."
"The target's equipment is a one-handed sword and a steel shield, and the shield seems to have a magic pattern on the inside, which is supposed to have magic resistance. He wears chain mail and has good defense against bows and arrows. The horse he rode was only a civilian colt, and he could not run wildly continuously, and he was not fast. ”
"The woman who is on the same seat is visually close to the target and can be used as a threat."
"Target ......."
The professional scouts in the army reported one by one, and almost found out what color Rollin was wearing.
Worthen listened quietly, his eyes narrowed, his hand resting on his heavy sword, his fingers looking at the surface of the sword one by one, unable to see what he was thinking.
Waiting for the scout to report late, he nodded and said, "Understood, archers prepare, Johnny, your team aims at the woman and shoots her!" ”
"Yes!" Johnny answered.
"Ati!"
"In!" A slender young man in jet-black leather armor with a metallic sheen replied in a low voice.
"Look at the opportunity and aim for the target. Be sure to kill the enemy in one hit! ”
"Yes!" Atti, the sharpshooter, replied, his eyes shining with confidence and calmness, he had never missed, and believed that this sniper was only a small addition to his perfect sniper record.
"Warriors prepare. In case the sniper misses, you will rush up and surround and kill in a charging formation! ”
More than a dozen warriors in the dense forest responded together, and these warriors, either holding shields and swords, or holding heavy swords, or holding double knives, their armor was fine chain mail, and there was a faint magical light on them.
"Hudson, your squad of archers is ambushing this side of the valley and shoot him if they try to break through. Townso, your squad is over here, just like Hudson. ”
The two archer captains nodded at the same time, and then led their respective teams of seven-man archers to ambush at the two exits of Oriole Valley Road.
At this point, the plan for this attack was roughly arranged, and Worthen pondered and began to consider whether there were still loopholes in his arrangement.
This time they came out differently from the last time they killed the werewolves, this time it was a secret mission, and the whole Vendôme was known only to his chief. The reason for the mission was simple, as the team he had sent to Operation Hidden Stone had not been heard from.
This suggests that Tees has most likely been planted.
He wouldn't go to the rescue of his team, because Moonlight Town was too far away, not counting the time to move, and the trip would take at least three days.
It's been too long, and it's extremely easy to get noticed. And the regular army of Vendôme, as the most relied on force of the lord, has extremely strict military discipline, and once it is found wrong, the lord's own soldiers, the black armor guard, will come to investigate.
Such an investigation will inevitably alarm that terrible division. Things are getting bigger, and the gains outweigh the losses
In contrast, the Oriole Valley Road was only a little more than an hour away from Vendôme, and he only needed to quietly send a scout to reconnoiter on the road, and when he got the news, they would act, and it would only take him half a day to go back and forth, and his commander could easily cover up this short disappearance for him.
Even so, in order to act secretly, Worthen did not dare to bring more people, only brought four teams, plus scouts, a total of thirty subordinates, all of whom he could usually cultivate, and were extremely loyal to him.
Thinking about it, Worthen felt that his plan was no longer missing, and as long as the target walked into this valley, it would be equivalent to entering hell!
After a while, the scout came back to report: "The target has reached a kilometer away, behind a small caravan. ”
Worthen suddenly frowned: "Caravan? ”
He hated the element of surprise.
"It was a fur merchant, it seemed to be an orion, fifteen of them, each with a hunting bow and a hound." Scout returns.
"Damn! What is the distance between them? Worthen asked. He hates hounds, these brutes are the enemy of the lurkers.
"More than 500 meters, they ran into each other by chance."
"Okay, you go and give the order, let everyone stay hidden, and make sure that the caravan does not appear unusual. We'll do it when the caravan passes. Five hundred metres should be enough, but this little turn of events has left a cloud over Worthen's mind.
While waiting, time passed slowly, and about five minutes later, a caravan appeared at the mouth of the scout at the crossing of the Yellow Oriole Valley.
As they were close to Vendôme, the men looked relaxed, laughing and laughing, completely unguarded, and they even brought two children with them, who often giggled and looked like they were going to Vendôme.
These men drove a slow old ox cart, and under Watson's anxious gaze, they slowly walked down the valley road.
When the men reached the center of the valley, the target appeared, and he rode his horse, much faster than the caravan, and by now the two sides were only about two hundred meters apart, and they could see each other.
At this point, Waltson had nothing more to ask for, but hoped that there would be no accident and that the two people in Taniguchi would enter the ambush circle as much as possible.
The god of destruction seemed to have heard the hearts of his devotees, and as he went, the dogs in the caravan were silent, but they ran around on the side of the road, chasing birds and butterflies, and having fun.
The situation is not bad, there are no surprises.
Under Watson's expectant gaze, the horse carrying two men trotted all the way, carrying his master into the range of the archers, and the two young men on the horse seemed to be chatting, and the woman with extremely delicate features, but with a sallow-faced face, seemed to be very happy, smiling from time to time.
The sight made Worthen sneer continuously, and his hands were already raised, just waiting for the two unlucky ghosts to enter the ambush circle, and then launch the attack order.
It's getting closer.
Fifty meters.
Forty meters.
Twenty meters.
…….
"Hey~Father, look, there are people on the mountain~~" The child's voice sounded suddenly, he chubby little finger pointed to the mountains and forests next to the valley road, smiling, innocent and romantic, as if there was something interesting
