As a vigilante in the squad, you may not necessarily be at the front of the team, perhaps because you are worried about the existence of traps when exploring, which is a must, but in the presence of Ellaro. Dick, a lady who is adept at using puppets as the captain, usually leaves the task of pathfinding to the more reliable puppets - three puppets the size of cats are walking forward and about five yards away from their three-person team, walking side by side, enough to act as the weight and volume of a normal person passing by; Of course, there is nothing such a puppet can do with a trap suspended in mid-air, but the three of them do not think that such a trap will appear in this forest.

Even if it did, with Gray's powerful sentient teammate, everything would be fine - if it weren't for his ability to solve traps, which was far inferior to his perception, Gray would definitely be the best pathfinder.

Da, da, da......

With the spear over his shoulder, Gray tapped the barrel of the spear with his left and right hands in a rhythmic manner - anyone who saw this would think that this was just a habit of Gray; In fact, there are many people who have the habit of striking their own weapons, and basically no one cares; And in ordinary times, Gray also has such a habit; However, when the spear is placed across the shoulder, such a blow is completely conveying the message.

The seemingly rhythmic percussion sound is actually more of a different length, and through such percussion, the corresponding combination is carried out, and a piece of information is transmitted to Ellaro. In the ears of Dick and Anlilor—

There are a lot of people around us, slowly gathering towards us!

At the current rate, about three minutes later. We're going to meet them!

Fight? Or retreat?

Such information appears in Ellaro. Dick's ears are in the back. She immediately made a gesture of 'retreat' - as the second lady of the Dick family. Maybe there was a trace of pride brought by the family background before, so he was confused, but in the successive setbacks, the second lady of the Dick family at this moment is definitely awake and can clearly see the surroundings.

In such a state, the second lady of the Dick family naturally would not do anything to make people frown.

Scold!

In Ellaro. As soon as Dick's 'retreat' gesture came out, Gray immediately turned and ran in one direction—the first to escape. It will not be disgusting, on the contrary, it will make teammates feel reassured; As the existence of the best perception, it is naturally necessary to choose a safe way to retreat when retreating.

Immediately behind Gray, Ellaro. Dick and Anlilore stepped forward, and before leaving, Ellaro. Dick's fingers hooked slightly, and immediately three puppets the size of a cat froze in place, and the next moment a thick mist began to emerge from the three puppets. And quickly spread around—for such small, non-arcane-level golems, combat is certainly not their strong point. However, in addition to pathfinding, the auxiliary aspect also has an extraordinary function.

The smoke spread quite quickly, almost two or three breaths enveloped a radius of dozens of yards, and relying on the smoke to obstruct it, when the pursuers dispersed the smoke, Ellaro. Dick and his party had already pulled out three hundred yards away—the three of them were as swift and agile as apes in the dense jungle, leaping and leaping, and no one would think they were seeing humans if they did not have the appearance of human beings.

"Chief, as a woman, I feel sad for your sixth heart! That's what you're saying will be very rewarding? ”

Gray said helplessly as he jumped from branch to branch; And Anlilore, who was even more under the tree, did not say anything, but the doubts that appeared on his dull and stiff face were enough to explain everything—compared to Gray's doubts, this one was undoubtedly doubting whether his head was a woman's gender; In fact, before he met the second lady of the Dick family, Anlilore had always thought that everyone in the world was the same as himself.

"Humph! Anyone can make mistakes! ”

The second lady of the Dick family always had her own characteristics in her answers to the two subordinates—though most of the reason was because she was embarrassed; However, no one should want her to admit her mistakes to her face; And this is completely forgivable for a young lady who is changing from arrogance to arrogance.

As a result, both Gray and Anlilore each had a knowing smile - although the previous head was competent, the current head was satisfying.

But the next moment, the smiles of the two of them froze, especially Gray, the stiffness seemed to freeze - in the direction they were heading, an existence that was obviously a temporary camp appeared in front of them; Of course, what is more important is that there is a team of no less than 100 people in front of them, standing there silently, as if waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

"This is the path you chose?"

The second lady of the Dick family stopped moving forward, glanced ahead, and couldn't help but say—behind them, on the left and right, there were footsteps at the same time; In such a situation, it is clear that they are surrounded; In short, the other party laid a trap of 'trapping', and they jumped in.

"This, this, anyone can make mistakes!"

Gray embarrassedly said what his leader had just said before, and then took the spear in his hand - in the team in front of him, a passage was divided, and three people, one in front of two behind, walked out; Although he was surprised by the gender of the other party, this did not prevent Gray from being vigilant.

On the side, the second lady of the Dick family and Anlilore were also on guard - the former moved his fingers slightly, and small but powerful puppets appeared around, while the latter changed the terrain according to the distance of the encirclement, trying to create a 'safe passage' for their side.

"Your Excellency, we just want to return to our hometown, and we have no ill intentions!"

Gray assumed that he was the leader of the trio and took a step forward. shouted to the three men who had come to a halt less than ten yards in front of them, belonging to the opposing party's representatives; Meantime. He was calculating if he had a chance to capture one of them. As a hostage to leave safely, however, in the end, he gave up such a very tempting idea - although he was sure of the two ladies walking behind, but the one in the front, when he saw it at first sight, he realized the error of his own approach.

Neat and meticulous armor, the face is more of a fortitude. Even if it is a woman's identity, but it is obvious that with the other party's performance, it will not accept coercion, once it is done, then there is only one way to go to war; Therefore, Gray very carefully restrained his original thoughts, and continued to shout: "The three of us are just people who want to take a shortcut and go home, Red Leaf City, have you heard of it?" ”

In order to win the trust of the people in front of you. Gray is saying something real - a lie is always a lie, and only with truth in it. will become believable.

"Momiji City?"

The leader of the other party obviously knows that this relatively famous town on the edge of Qiulin District - in fact, as a red leaf city with more contacts with the outside world of Qiulin District, it is people's first impression of Qiulin District; Especially when a train track opened into it twenty years ago, most people in the rest of Lorante always regarded Red Leaf City as a true portrayal of the Autumn Forest District.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this approach, and Red Leaf City also belongs to the Autumn Forest District, even if it is only on the edge, which only reflects the very shallow side of the Autumn Forest District that is different from other regions - however, this is exactly what the Supreme Government needs, to treat it differently, but not to cause shock, so that those civilians who belong to the Supreme Government feel their own happiness, and will not be doubted by all kinds of shocks.

In short, this is a breeze for the supreme government, which habitually conceals everything.

And Gray obviously understood the character of people outside the Qiulin District, so in the other party's doubts, he immediately said in a slightly sad tone: "That's right, our family is there, but in order to make our family live better, we have to come out and find some way out; Please don't spread the word about this place, or we will not escape punishment even if we are the guards of the castle lord! ”

As he spoke, Gray peeked at the leader of the women opposite, and when he saw that the other party frowned slightly, and then looked at the three of them again with resolute eyes, Gray's heart sank - he didn't say much just now, but it revealed that they couldn't talk nonsense, and the reason why they were armed and had some strength, and deliberately pretended to be pitiful, in order to win the pity of the women in front of him.

In Gray's impression, women have always been merciful to the weak!

And although the female leader in front of him is the same, it is different-that kind of fortitude makes him unsure of his thoughts; Sure enough, the next moment, the other party's words confirmed Gray's bad guess.

"I'm sorry that I feel sorry for what happened to you, but my duty prevents me from letting you go; Rest assured, though, we won't hurt you, but we need you to stay here with me, and I'll let you go after dawn! ”

"O merciful lord! Please have mercy on us, if we don't get back before dawn......"

Gray obviously wanted to say something, but the female leader didn't give him a chance at all, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of rangers immediately surrounded him; Gray and Anlilor immediately looked at Ellaro. Dick, the second lady of the Dick family, immediately shook his head after frowning - the 'kindness' shown by the other party proved that they would not be insulted and mistreated more, and once they did, then the situation would inevitably change drastically.

As for whether the three of them will be able to face the more than 100 enemies in front of them, and more enemies in the future, the second lady of the Dick family is not sure - unless she is given a special environment, and there are more materials to make puppets, and she can still have a fight!

As for now?

Restraint was obviously the right choice, especially when the other party was a female leader, and she didn't worry about being threatened.

And in fact, it made Ellaro. To the surprise of the three Dicks, they were not confiscated or searched, but were pressed to the side, surrounded by a few more guards; Gray looked around, and when he saw the warhorse swallowtail flag, he immediately whispered to Ellaro. Dick said, "Boss." It's the Witcher's Ranger! ”

Rangers?!

The second lady of the Dick family was shocked. She immediately looked at the men again—each one of them was lightly traveled. The horses were chewed, and except for some patrols, most of them sat cross-legged, looking refreshed; Plus it's located on the side of the Four Seasons Castle; Immediately, the second lady of the Dick family, who had been taught by the family system and had a bit of military literacy even if she didn't like it, immediately understood what this team wanted to do.

"It's a wonder army!"

With such a beginning, the second lady of the Dick family. He told his two subordinates what he had in mind: "When the coalition forces of the Autumn Forest and the Four Seasons Fort enter into a stalemate battle, this ranger will enter the battlefield; Whether it's attacking a team from the flank, or a direct attack on the coalition camp, you'll get unimaginable results! ”

"Wouldn't it be better for the coalition forces in the Autumn Forest District to send spies?"

Gray asked, confused.

"Of course, but they're clearly more interested in fighting each other than they should be in their own tasks!"

The second lady of the Dick family sneered softly - she was born in the Autumn Forest District, and she knew the true face of this so-called coalition army far better than the two subordinates who were not from the Autumn Forest District.

"Hey, a bunch of inexplicable guys! So what do we do now. Chief? ”

Gray and Anriloel looked at Ellaro. Dick - As the head of the three, she is now the one who can make decisions; Not to mention. She was obviously more aware of what to do about the situation in front of her; Perhaps the experience of the dark mercenaries is much stronger than that of Gray and Anrilore, but when faced with problems like the Autumn Forest District, Ellaro. Dick is the real expert.

"Wait! Tomorrow when these people attack, this is our chance, whether they obey their words or deeds and let us go! ”

With these words, the second lady of the Dick family ended the conversation and began to close her eyes; Gray and Anrilor glanced at each other, and began to rest in the same way—as their leader had said, now was not the best opportunity, the dawn was the opportunity they were waiting for, and in any case, a more abundant physical strength was necessary.

"Sister, do you believe them?"

Lancelot walked up to the female cavalry commander and asked—for the sake of concealment, the entire makeshift camp stationed in this dense forest not only had no tents, but also no bonfires; Including the female cavalry chief, they can only temporarily wrap themselves in blankets and rest in the open air; And as the guard of the female cavalry captain, twelve female knights were naturally around her.

"Believe, before they make any action against their words!"

The female cavalry commander replied in the affirmative, and such an answer caused the female knights around them to shrug their shoulders together—they were not surprised by such an answer; On the contrary, he was surprised by his companion Lancelot, every time he asked knowingly.

How many times has this been?

Thirty or forty?

No, no, more, too many to count!

The female knights around them made eye contact with each other, and then looked at the smiling faces of their companions who had received the expected answer.

Is Lancelot self-satisfied?

This is a disease, everyone closes their eyes and rests, and beware of infection.

Many of the female knights looked at Gawain, and then the female knight gave a shrugging and snickering answer - although they did not understand the deeper meaning of such an answer, it did not prevent the female knights from smiling knowingly; After all, it's rare to see the always shrewd Lancelot 'making a fool' like this!

"Rest well, at dawn we will have a big battle!"

The female cavalry commander glanced around, and her clear voice suppressed the laughter, and at the same time explained to her guards: "From this afternoon until late at night, these pioneers of the coalition forces in the Autumn Forest District have been testing the firepower distribution and the largest personnel movement of the Four Seasons Fort, and they are preparing for a general attack; And dawn is undoubtedly the best time, we need to prove our old vows with our own long swords! ”

"Guarding in your heart, a long sword is like a shield!"

All the rangers who heard the female cavalry's long words, whether they were these female knights of the guard or not, whispered a silent sentence. When they become real rangers. The oath issued.

Then. There was no sound in the entire rudimentary makeshift camp, except for breathing, until a glimmer of light appeared in the distance in the sky—

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of war drums almost came with this glimmer of light, and the vanguard of the coalition forces in the Autumn Forest began to assemble in front of their camp, and then rushed towards the castle that towered over the earth in the distance.

Woo, woo, woo!

These coalition forces in the Autumn Forest did not hide their whereabouts in the slightest. the meaning of launching a raid; A dense rush trumpet almost resounded through the sky; Not only were the rangers of the Four Seasons Fort on guard at the first time, but the female cavalry captains in the dense forest were even more neatly clothed and mounted on their horses waiting for the order to charge.

And not far behind these rangers, Ellaro, who had just regained his freedom. Dick and his party were advancing in the dense forest, and Gray couldn't help but look at his head when he listened to the war drums and charges, and asked, "Could it be that the battle in the Autumn Forest District still follows the ancient knightly battle rules and does not sneak attack?" A duel that only relies on the open? This is quite similar to those old styles and rules in the Qiulin District! ”

"Just a bunch of self-righteous idiots!"

The second lady of the Dick family. gave such an answer, and then, the speed of progress was faster - although he didn't care much about his family, but at a critical moment, how could he really stay out of the matter; Therefore, at this moment, the second lady of the Dick family very much hopes that she will appear in the camp of the coalition army and bring the soldiers belonging to her family back to Red Leaf City, instead of accompanying some idiots who don't know why to play death games here.

Moreover, it is also a death game where others survive and die by themselves!

Of course, more importantly, she was worried that the man was also in the charge - although the guy had always acted like a wizard, he was definitely not a traditional wizard; After all, she hadn't seen a traditional wizard who would make his staff look like a spear, and then dance constantly.

Therefore, at this time, the second lady of the Dick family was almost advancing at her fastest speed; Therefore, when the second lady of the Dick family came to the camp of the coalition army, showed the family crest of the Dick family, and came to the camp belonging to her family unimpeded, she was surprised - judging from the area of the entire camp and the number of people present, her family did not participate in this attack, and when she saw the figure of the old butler, this surprise climbed to a new height.

"Uncle Dick, what is this?"

Ellaro. Dick asked, gesturing around.

"This is the spearhead of our family's involvement in this coalition...... And the follow-up team! ”

The old housekeeper looked at the second lady of his family, and naturally he would not hide anything, so he immediately spoke; And explained the reason for doing so: "The eldest lady has made a careful plan; Moreover, Lord Firth also gave corresponding instructions, and I am just doing what the two adults tell me to do! ”

"Faith? Is Feth coming? Where is he? ”

The second lady of the Dick family, who was originally full of doubts, didn't care about anything else at the moment, and asked straight about the person she had been looking for—for some ladies, at a certain age, their blindness would make all the men who were attracted to them feel ashamed.

"Master Feith, there are still a few things to deal with; After all, this coalition is not so simple! ”

Of course, the old butler understood his second lady's thoughts, but he immediately opened his mouth and said - this cannot be regarded as a lie; Ye Qi was busy because of the participation of the coalition forces in the Autumn Forest Region this time, of course, far more than these coalition forces in the Autumn Forest District, there were more and bigger troubles waiting for Ye Qi.

And hearing the words of the old butler, the second lady of the Dick family will be overwhelmed and tell her about the encounter with the rangers in the dense forest.

"Oh, it seems that the witchers are more than we thought!"

The old butler sighed, and then, he beckoned to the second lady of his family, and walked towards a piece of high ground next to the camp - there was a natural watchtower in this camp, and naturally he could see everything on the battlefield clearly by virtue of his height.
