"Here they are. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The group shuttled through the forest, Zhou Dong said suddenly.

"What's coming? Bandits? Jane asked, puzzled.

"I have an invisible animal companion who is in the camp of the bandits, and I can see what it sees through the contract, and they have sent a search team to expand the search area around the camp." Zhou Dong quickly said what he knew.

"Eric, how are they numbered and how their team is formed?" Jack asked.

Zhou Dong sped up a moment and replied: "A group of seven people, about ten groups of people were sent, generally four near and three away, and two of them seem to have spellcasters." ”

"Seven is not too much, just draw it out and kill it in groups." Adilk waved his oversized hammer in his hand nonchalantly.

"Well, everyone went according to plan." Zhou Dong nodded, this was what they had planned.

Speaking of the southwest area of the Vortex Mountains, Zhou Dong has also been here a few times, plus he has deliberately reconnoitred this time, so he is quite familiar with the terrain.

Next, Zhou Dong skillfully used the quintessential command skills of guerrilla warfare, seducing one group at a time, and then concentrating firepower to kill a few.

After a few times, by about 3 p.m., the men were no longer patrolling in groups of seven.

The original more than seventy people had become more than fifty, but they also knew more about the sneak attackers.

In the past, these bandits relied on their familiarity with the mountains and forests, and their combat effectiveness here in their lair was not ordinary, enough to escape the encirclement and suppression of those officers and soldiers several times.

It's just that in the face of the same style as them, or even more obscene and shameless guerrilla fighting, they seem equally helpless.

To the luck of the bandits, their boss is back.

And what made him feel unlucky was that behind their boss's ass was a large group of moss soldiers.

The gates of the wooden walls of the bandits' camp were quickly shut, the archers on the turrets swished and fired arrows, and because of the condescending terrain, the soldiers who charged up immediately stopped the charge because of the high terrain and realized that the casualties were too great.

The deputy battalion leader asked in shock, and the gang boss whispered, and he immediately disseminated this information to his subordinates.

The bandits looked at the same hundreds of soldiers on the opposite side, and the officials and bandits were fighting, so they first weakened their momentum, and only dared to stick to the camp at this time.

But the soldiers were soldiers after all, and they quickly cut down some trees, set up makeshift camps, and prepared firewood at the same time.

Because of the rush just now, plus the rest, it was already the time when the sun was setting.

A few hundred meters away from the soldiers' camp, on a small hillside in the forest, which was sprinkled with faint golden afterglow, the group was on this small hillside, looking at the camp condescendingly.

Originally, this commanding height was supposed to be a strategic point that would be discovered and occupied by the soldiers early in the morning, but Leah used a phantom prop to make the soldiers who came to explore the way ignore this location.

"Erik, congratulations on your plan." Jay smiled, and in front of the others, he changed into a cynical mask.

Zhou Dong didn't answer, he roughly guessed a possibility, and the probability was very high.

It was fast evening and there was no major movement on either side, but the movement of the soldiers on the side became a little more intensive.

On Zhou Dong's side, the dwarf Adirke couldn't help but be bored and asked, "If they fight, should we take advantage of the chaos?" ”

"That's a trap."

Zhou Dong's words puzzled the people in this team who were not very diligent and brainy, so he explained: "I should tell you something, Jack also knows, it is about the secret document we found in the secret box of a high-ranking official in the patrol team, and there are some things recorded on it. ”

"Do any of you know about the Shield Knight?" Jack took over the topic at the right time.

No one among the three-phase hammer dwarven brothers spoke, Jane and Calder looked at each other and shook their heads, only Leah had heard of this word, she frowned and tried to recall: "I remember, it seems to be an organization that has a close relationship with nobles and merchants, and is active in our Tesser, the establishment of trade routes has something to do with them, I also heard from the elders in Wildassen, I'm not sure." ”

Zhou Dong looked at Jack, in terms of this information, this thief must know more than him, a ranger hunter who has been hiding in the mountains and seas for more than ten years.

"Almost, the document we found in that official's house is a magic contract signed by a nobleman with him, the content is probably to act as an intelligence spy and get paid for selling some of the secret military operations of Moss City, and these transactions are recorded in an account book that is kept together, if you pay attention to the time of the actions of Moss Stone City to send troops to encircle and suppress the Vortex Bandit Group several times, you will probably understand, take a look."

Jack said, handing the account book he kept to Leah first.

"No, I'm not interested in any of that." Leah didn't even touch it, I don't know if she wasn't really interested, or if she just didn't want to touch it.

Orseco, the eldest of the three dwarven brothers, was very interested in reading it, and then saw the human woman whose eyes were shining in the night, so he handed it over.

"That makes sense, but Eric's guess is somewhat wrong, it's not that Moss City doesn't want to eliminate these Star Vortex bandits, but every time there is a traitor tipping message, plus this is a mountain forest, the opposite side is reduced to zero, and there are hundreds of people, no wonder it has not been able to be eradicated." Olseco gave a pertinent assessment of both sides.

"Because of a precedent, I'm not sure if the city lord has been bought, even if we kidnap his only son, maybe they are acting for us to see, and as soon as we get involved, they will all join forces against us." Zhou Dong put forward the possibility of this relatively low probability, but it does not mean that it is impossible.

After Zhou Dong and his entourage here learned some inside information, they were not in a hurry to come forward.

But in this way, the other two forces couldn't help but be in a hurry.

……

"Didn't you find them?" The commander-in-chief here is the captain of the moss stone city lord's most trusted personal guard.

"No, we've searched the vicinity for a few miles, and found some traces of their previous battles with the bandits, but we haven't found any of them." The scout captain shook his head.

The captain of the guard, a knightly nobleman, thought for a moment after listening to the report, then summoned his retinue and instructed: "Send the order to let the soldiers prepare to attack the camp, and then tell the mages to be ready." ”

"Yes."
