Chapter 156: Ambush on

"Where the hell is Deputy Head Lawson?"

The three captains galloped with their men and horses for a day following the messenger, exhausted, but still did not reach their destination, nor did they see Lawson's people, and finally became a little impatient. According to Lawson's letter, the place where the bandits were found was only more than 200 miles from Lua City, and it was supposed to be there.

"Don't worry, adults, the front is here. ”

The messenger spoke and led them to a fork in the road.

"Stay put!"

As soon as they stepped on the fork in the road, the three captains vigilantly gave orders.

"What do you mean, sir?"

The person who reported the news did not understand why it stopped.

"Nothing. I'm afraid that the horse bandits will be alarmed by the fact that there are too many of us, so I will send two people to go in with you first.

Seeing that this was suspicious of him, the messenger did not say anything, and walked along the path with two escorts, while the others waited in a spacious area outside, and all the guards lined up in defensive formation, ready to respond to the enemy's surprise attack. But to everyone's relief, the two guards who went to investigate the situation quickly rushed back, and immediately walked to the side of the three captains and whispered the situation to them.

"What!?"

After listening to the reports of his subordinates, the faces of the three captains not only changed.

"Let's go and see. ”

After a little discussion, the three men made a decision, and led the guards down the fork in the road, until they came to a small grove before stopping, and the three men jumped off their horses and led a group of men into the woods, and found two deserted forest huts in a clearing.

The person who had delivered the letter was now standing outside the hut, looking bewildered, and the ground beside him lay with corpses lying on the ground.

"What's going on here?"

A captain stepped forward and grabbed the robe on the informant's chest and asked.

"I... I don't know, this is where Emaar and the others were found before, and Captain Lawson told us to bring you here. ”

The messenger pointed to the hut and stammered.

"This is our people?"

The other captain walked directly to the corpse, glanced at the clothes of the corpse on the ground, and said. When the other two captains heard this, they temporarily let go of the messenger and went to the corpse next to the hut to check it.

"Indeed our people. ”

After turning over a few corpses and seeing a few familiar faces, a team leader said with more certainty.

"Most of these corpses have been subjected to magical attacks. ”

The other captain said, pointing to several charred corpses with burned bodies around him.

"That's right, it looks like the deputy head of the regiment was discovered by Emaar and attacked. ”

"Did you find Captain Lawson. ”

"Nope. ”

"I don't know where they've gone now. ”

"Let's go inside the house and see if there are any clues. ”

There were two rooms in the clearing, and the three of them first asked their men to surround the rooms, fearing that if there were bandits inside, they would choose to flee, and only when everything was arranged did they enter one of the rooms with a few guards.

The floor of the house was littered with messy footprints, and there were indeed signs of human activity that had just been moved, but there was not a single figure. They came out of one room and went straight into another.

As soon as they entered the room, they smelled a strange smell, and they couldn't help frowning, and they were shocked, because this time they saw a figure, and it was a figure suspended in the air in the center of the room.

"Captain Lawson!"

The figure was facing away from the three people, but a captain still guessed his identity from the clothes the figure was wearing, and the three people hurriedly stepped forward to confirm whether the identity of the figure was Lawson. If so, then I'm afraid this matter is in big trouble. They first hugged the figure's body, where the tentacles were, they could feel the temperature of the body, which meant that the hanging person was still alive, which made them feel relieved, and then they turned the figure's face to themselves, but in the dim light, they saw not Lawson's face, but the face of a much younger man.

"Who are you?"

The three of them were startled and asked after taking a few steps back.

"The one who wants your life. ”

The hanging man slowly opened his eyes, looked at the three people with a faint gaze, opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, and said strangely, and then he hugged his arms in front of his chest, revealing an object in the middle.

It was a large sword, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with two red magic crystals, and at this time, the red light in the two crystals was running rapidly, and the light became more and more abundant, faintly giving people a sense of destruction and ominousness.

"No! ”

Looking at the big sword with a flashing red light, the three captains finally realized the plan, turned around and rushed out of the house, but it was already a little late.

In the dim room, it suddenly lit up, and a red halo appeared next to the hanging person, the halo flashed with a strange luster, and after a flash, it expanded out in all directions, and where it passed, there was suddenly a sea of fire, and all the guards in the room, including the three captains, were drowned in it, some people turned into fireballs and were burned to death, and some people fled with wails. The strength of the three captains has reached the level of high-level swordsmen, and they have performed the best, and they have already raised their fighting spirit to the extreme before the flames reach their bodies, blocking the invasion of the raging fire. But when the three of them broke through the somewhat tattered walls of the hut and came outside, they were stunned by what they saw.

At the same time as the magic attack inside the house was launched, the attack outside was also activated.

When the attention of the more than 100 guards gathered in the clearing was all focused on the two rooms, fireballs, wind blades, lightning, quicksand, ice bursts and other magic suddenly fell on top of their heads, catching them off guard. If only these magical attacks might not be enough to plunge the entire array into chaos, what really caused the chaos was a crystal clear red villain, which began to rampage as soon as it landed in the crowd, its body sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking, sometimes condensing and sometimes splitting into countless fireballs, and everywhere it passed, the flames flew and screamed. The entire team of guards was in complete confusion, and everyone fled in all directions to escape the attacks of magic and the Burning Man.

The three captains who witnessed this scene finally understood that they had completely fallen into the enemy's trap, and the terrible thing was that they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and it was too late to reorganize the team to resist at this time, and the ideal way now was to break out of the siege and return to Lua City to organize more people to encircle and suppress this scheming horse bandits, and they might even need to ask for help from the Knights Templar's Wings of War stationed nearby, and they needed their support, otherwise it would be difficult to successfully complete the task of suppressing the bandits with the strength of the guards alone, because this group of horse bandits is not only cunning, but also terrifying。
