Arrow lifted a finger to his lips and shushed softly.

It was also at this time that Cream jumped back from the tree next to him and landed gently and skillfully beside Arrow.

"How?"

"Judging by the footprints, there are about seven or eight people, and it should be a small team. There's a used trap ahead, and those flower goblins should have been caught. It is unclear whether they will lie in ambush or turn away. ”

Arrow thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Are there military boots in the footprints?" ”

Cream exhaled and shook her head slightly, "No." And judging by the depth of the footprints, it should not look like a professional soldier in heavy armor, but more like a well-equipped squad of adventurers. The hunting techniques they use are also similar to those of bird traps. If I had to judge, I would be more inclined to see if the other party was an organization, a gang, or a ...... A guild. ”

This is similar to Arrow's guess.

If it is a subordinate of the city lord's troops, then when this unit discovers the location of the fairy forest, it will definitely find a way to notify the city lord to come and directly carry out a crushing capture in terms of quantity and quality.

But now they didn't lead so many people, but set a trap overnight and launched a surprise attack this morning.

This is easy to understand, because once the news of the flower fairies here is spread to the city lord and reaches the ears of other humans, then the number of people who flock here will probably only increase, and the number of flower fairies they can catch will be greatly reduced. In terms of profits, this is tantamount to a practice of cutting off one's own financial path.

So, in a sense, that group of people is not the regular army of the city lord, but mercenaries, which is simply the best news.

But at the same time, it's also the worst news for Mermaid Song.

If you think about it carefully, since the creation of Mermaid Song, it has not actually experienced a guild-level battle in the strict sense.

Whether it was against the Iron Wolf Guild in the past, or later to destroy the True Eye, the Mermaid Song tried to use all kinds of traps, all kinds of show weakness, all kinds of relaxation of the opponent's vigilance, or the practice of hiring other guilds to carry out attacks on other guilds.

But now, in the strange forest of this completely unfamiliar country, if you are really facing a guild organization, then this guild will definitely show absolute vigilance when facing a strange guild that also does not know the details and does not know the combat effectiveness, and will not relax at all.

In other words, what the current Mermaid Song is facing is a hostile guild that is really exerting its full combat power and does not have any contempt for its own small guild!

What exactly would it take to defeat such an enemy before they could completely evacuate the forest?

Arrow thought about it carefully, after all, he really didn't have many resources at his disposal right now. If there is really any advantage, it is only the strength of the frontal combat power provided by the Flower Elf Clan when it is on its side.

"President! If you don't hurry...... Parfay's companion is about to be captured, right? Those guys...... Those guys might have fled by now! ”

Seeing that Parfay's fellow citizens were arrested, Brad looked a little nervous. He gently raised the shield and sword in his hand, looking ready to rush out anytime and anywhere.

In this regard, Arrow shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry, they won't stop until they catch enough flower goblins." After all, they certainly didn't want to reveal the origin of the flower fairies and cause their income to decrease. But on the other hand, they are also worried that the elves will leave immediately after being attacked, so they must want to take advantage of this time to catch more. Now they are in the shadows, and if we rush up now, we will rush into their encirclement. In this dangerous forest, whoever attacks first is the loser. ”

Brad's eyes widened, trying to look at the forest in front of him that was constantly flashing with various lights, and the more he waited, the more anxious he became: "That...... So what do we do next? ”

"Wait."

Cheese on the side suddenly spoke, and his eyes with pale red pupils also looked at the trees in the distance—

"By the time those guys can't take it anymore and send out the bait again, trying to lure more flower goblins over. By the time we went from being an attacker to a defender. ”

Time passed minute by minute.

The entire members of the Mermaid's Song were all dormant behind this dense bush, and even the nervous flower goblins were now frustrated and scared, but they had to continue to lie dormant here behind their queen.

Obviously, these flower fairies, who were born free and liked to wander around the flowers, did not have much long-term patience. After a period of waiting, some of them had obviously begun to get restless, and they all wanted to rush out directly, and then use their magic to sweep away all the invading humans in one go!

But......

Arrow, the human is still lying on its stomach.

Even if a golden beetle had climbed onto his hat at some point, he lay there quietly as if he didn't care at all.

"Your Majesty, ......?"

A flower fairy couldn't wait a little and stepped forward to ask.

Although this fairy queen is also anxious, as a queen, she must also admit that when it comes to dealing with humans, humans themselves are always the best. Seeing that the most powerful elves under her command were captured so easily, it seemed that there was no better way for her to trust this human than to trust them.

Slowly, slowly......

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the dappled shadows of the trees are spilling from the sky, condensing everything here into a single piece. All the people and flower fairies who are dormant here seem to have merged with the forest, and there is no movement anymore......

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the woods! After waiting for another second or two, a flower fairy actually flew over from that side in a hurry.

Seeing this flower fairy, Airo didn't have any expression of excitement or joy. Instead, the word "terrible" immediately flashed into his mind!

Sure enough, after this flower fairy spun in mid-air for a while, it immediately relied on its racial superiority sense of smell and panicked mentality, and quickly flew towards Arrow and the others. For her approach, Arrow really had an urge to strangle this flower fairy in an instant! But after thinking quickly, he immediately reached out to chase away the fairy queen who was lying on his shoulder, and at the same time raised the shoulder position of Parfay slightly higher.

"(Fairy Language) Parfay!"

Seeing the same kind, the flower fairy immediately flew over excitedly. But before she and Parfay, who had no idea what was happening, hugged each other, an arrow quickly shot at Arrow, and stuck it in the ground less than ten centimeters in front of him.

In the next moment, with this arrow as the center, a magic array larger than three meters in size immediately unfolded. The flower fairy and Parfay, who were trapped in the magic array, suddenly felt sore, lying on the ground and completely unable to move.

"Ahh

Coco on the other side was obviously a little panicked when he saw that Airo was trapped in this magic array. But Airo hurriedly made a booing gesture at her, and at the same time observed the flower fairy and Parfay who fell beside him.

The two flower goblins kept trying to open their mouths to speak, but now they were all clutching their throats, as if they couldn't say a word.

Sure enough, there is no way to recite the mantra.

Seeing Parfay's painful appearance now, Brad on the other side was obviously anxious. But he received Arrow's eyes at the first time, so even though Parfay couldn't move or fly here, he still silently grabbed his weapon and squatted quietly in the grass next to him.

The fairy queen and the other flower fairies were also watching from the sidelines, and they looked a little overwhelmed.

But after a few moments, the flower goblins seemed to finally understand what they were going to do now.

In the direction where the arrow was flying, the sound of a person's footsteps began to be heard gradually.

Soon, a heavily armed man with a small round shield on his arm, who looked like a warrior, slowly walked over from that side.

The warrior was followed by two more, one who looked like an archer, and the other who appeared to be a mage judging by his attire. The group of three people walked towards this direction laughing and laughing, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings at all.

Around them, the members of the Mermaid Song had begun to surround them with them as the center.

"Look how much you've gained this time. The number of these flower fairies is really large, as long as we catch a few more, I am afraid that we will have no worries about food and clothing in this life. ”

"Not really! There are so many flower goblins, just making them all into fairy dew is already a lifetime of wealth. We've made a fortune this time! ”

"Don't just joke, be careful, maybe those flower goblins will have some strange magic. My silence won't work for long. ”

The three of them said as they walked towards each other.

With the surrounding forest, the members of Mermaid Song are already in place, just waiting for the lightest time.

Arrow tentatively raised his hand, and after a slight attempt to move, he realized that he didn't seem to be limited much by the magic array. At most, you can't speak.

Seeing this, he nodded slightly, reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt, and waited quietly, waiting for the three people to approach here.

Near...... Bring it a little closer......

10 meters ...... Five-meter ...... Closer, close enough to be able to sprinkle with dirt.
