The four guards who turned back were in a hurry, and each drew his weapon and was on guard. Under the light of the two torches in front and behind, they carefully searched for anything suspicious.

When they passed by the crack, they deliberately stopped, held their torches high, and looked at them carefully. After repeatedly confirming that there was no one, he left and continued the search.

Gru looked at it secretly, a little glad, but also more nervous.

If they continue to get closer and seriously search the vicinity of Oshi, he will inevitably be discovered.......

"It's over......." Gru said something bad and drew his dagger.

He looked at the four guards not far away, and secretly calculated: These four people are all first-order strength, and if I suddenly rush out and take advantage of their unpreparedness, I should be able to directly kill or injure one or two of them...... Then, taking their weapons, retreating while fighting, perhaps there is still some life.

After he made up his mind, he pressed his impulses and waited for the best time.......

Just as the four guards were about to approach the area of the big stone, the guards who were not far away suddenly beckoned, "You guys, have you found the merchant?"

When the four of them heard the greeting, they gave up the search and walked straight to the place where the guards who were guarding there converged.

Gru gently withdrew the dagger and wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes, still not daring to breathe heavily. He knew that, judging from the current situation, he should have escaped by luck.

"Didn't find it...... It was as if the merchant had suddenly vanished, and he didn't notice anything suspicious at all!" replied one of the guards indignantly.

"Forget it....... Run one and run one, and the rest of the number is not enough. The guard had no choice but to give up, but at the same time reminded: "You can't go out of the situation again, otherwise you won't be able to explain to that employer!"

"Understood, understood......." the guards responded in unison.

Gru wasn't very far away from them, and he was downwind and could hear their conversation clearly. In addition, I was very curious to guess their motives.

He said in his heart: these people are not like ordinary guards, but more like a group of bandits and robbers who have lost their morality, and they must do whatever it takes to meet the demands of their employers....... There are quite a few merchants who have joined this caravan temporarily! Should I do something.......

He thought about it, but he gave up this unrealistic idea.

His personal strength is limited, and he doesn't have the blessing of a holy weapon or an artifact, so he can barely deal with two or three guards. Jumping out now is undoubtedly sending you to death.

Moreover, those traders are very cautious and are likely to be trusted by them. Even if he could figure out a way to get in again, I'm afraid it wouldn't be of much help.......

After resting for a while, he crept up to the crack and continued to hide there.......

Luckily, he had just left when a few guards went to the boulder together. They weren't trying to investigate, but they were a little nervous and urinating.

Hidden in the cracks, Gru could no longer hear the guards talking, and he did nothing for a moment, speculating repeatedly about the purpose and motives of the men.

After most of the hourglass, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, which was very noisy.

The drowsy Gru suddenly woke up and listened: "....... The scale of nearly 100 people, with all the weapons and armor, what kind of person is this!"

He didn't dare to look out, but gently retreated to the innermost.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of battle erupted, the sound of weapons colliding was endless, and the screams came and went.

He plucked up his courage, looked over, and found that those people who came later were very much like the elite guards of a certain level, with strong combat effectiveness, and those guards were not opponents at all.

"These guards....... Most of them are second-order, although they are not as good as Mansa White's subordinates, but they are not far behind. However, they are not equipped with Butterfly Dance, and if the two sides do fight head-on, these guards must not be opponents....... They kill people when they see them, is it because they want to rob the caravan's goods?" he carefully wrote down the insignia worn by the guards, intending to tell the lord about it when he returned.

The guards were powerless to resist, and were almost crushed in a cluster, and most of them were quickly killed and wounded.

The remaining guards ran back as hard as they could, but were quickly driven back again.......

They looked behind in horror, and one by one they collapsed to the ground, dropping their weapons and letting the guards capture them all.

Due to the distance, Gru could faintly see some tall silhouettes, but he couldn't see what they were.

"Tall, beast-like, roaring...... What the hell is it! Should I go over and take a look....... Forget it, forget it, you must focus on the tasks assigned by the lord!" he really wanted to rush out to take a look, but he didn't want to delay his business.

Soon, the guards began to collect the corpses and drive the prisoners, loading them all onto the wagons of the caravan. On the contrary, those goods that are not very valuable, they simply abandon them.

"Remove the body....... It makes sense to be able to avoid being traced!But why should they keep those captives!" he never figured out.

The guards of unknown origin quickly cleaned up the battlefield and immediately returned the way they came. Gru carefully hidden, patiently waiting.

Suddenly, he heard a man crying out in a grief and indignant voice, "Why? Why did you kill us together?"

After a while, a man with a gloomy voice replied, "You know too much, Lord Baron needs to keep these secrets forever. You have no value anymore, and it's a trouble to keep it, so it's better to ......."

"You ....... You are despicable and shameless, you are demons!" the man hissed.

"Despicable?........ haha" His laughter was a little harsh, full of disdain, "Don't forget, you're not a good person either....... In the last few days, there have been hundreds of merchants who have been attacked and captured by you! Isn't it justice for those people that I kill you now?"

"No....... No, we just take money to do things, and we don't really do evil. We have been hired and seduced by you, and it is all your fault......." The man was so agitated that he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"Hahaha....... If these boring excuses can calm your mind, I have nothing to say!" After he stopped laughing, he sighed with some emotion: "Now that I think about it, it's really ironic, it was the group of captives that you captured that finally ruined your life....... Haha! Praise my God, and curse this filthy world......."

The footsteps grew farther and farther away, but Gru never dared to look up, for fear of being discovered. He was relieved until the footsteps had completely disappeared.

"Those...... What kind of monsters are they, it's horrible!" he thought to himself.

Although he didn't see it clearly just now, he was still taken aback, if he hadn't gritted his teeth in advance, he might have screamed out of control.

"This news needs to be reached to the lord as soon as possible, but....... Should I turn back, what if my current mission is also important....... Forget it, let's get to the dream city of Libel and let the adventurers there pass on the message for me!"

After trying to change positions, he took a break and did not rush to leave.

The vast majority of bandits and bandits will prioritize their survival in the event of a particularly unfavorable battle. In a battle like Fang Cai, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net. If he goes out at this time, it is very likely that he will cause unnecessary trouble.

Half an hourglass later, he heard the sporadic clash of weapons and the screams of response.

“....... These guards really don't have a way to live! they have been in ambush for so long....... I'm good to have enough patience!" he secretly reckoned.

In the next hourglass, after three waves of ambushed guards, Gru still did not appear.

It wasn't until it was dark and another wave of guards had gone that he cautiously came out......
