Chapter 863: Trap
What happened next was just as Leylin had expected.
On the way, there were occasional ogres who came out to provoke, ranging from five or six to a dozen, but never more than twenty.
At this level, of course, it could not cause any damage to the convoy, and each time it went back in disgrace, and even left behind several corpses.
Many mercenaries, from fear at the beginning, later developed into lying on the top of the carriage, watching the ogre run away stupidly laughing.
Even, this relaxed state of mind is contagious to the Pale Eagle.
At the very least, Leylin noticed that the rest of the group had a hint of contempt on their faces, except for Sigfred and the mage.
"In two days, we can get out of this area, this is really the easiest mission for Old Bam!"
As the convoy marched, the dwarf Bam was holding a bottle of wine like a treasure, his rosacea shiny red.
"Those disgusting filthy things, I really don't want to see them again......"
Raphinia had a look of disgust on her face, she hadn't been involved in an attack on an ogre since her last attempt.
It seems that this little girl was frightened by the last painful experience.
At this moment, the terrible howl of the ogre sounded in front ......of the convoy, but old Bam burped pleasantly, and did not seem to be affected by the shouting in the slightest.
"Hiccup...... Here it is again, here it is again! The ones who gave the gold coins are here again...... I don't know who had the good fortune to cut off the ogre's ear this time, but the reward for that thing is not low......"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple this time......"
Leylin drew his long sword, a solemn expression on his face.
"How?" said Bam, who seemed to have some doubts. But then his face changed.
The continuous roar came from all directions. With a terrifying will, even Warhorse Nick let out an uneasy hiss.
"Damn. So much !!"
Old Bam's bottle fell to the ground with a high crunch, but it no longer had time to feel sorry for its treasure, and immediately drew the musket from its waist.
Stomp!
At this time, the front of the caravan was also in chaos, and a large number of merchants abandoned their goods and fled for their lives, causing even greater commotion, and the mercenaries suffered heavy casualties. You can even see tall figures not far away.
"It's a trap! We're in the ogre's encirclement!"
"Help! those ogres have at least two hundred !!."
"Damn, where is the Pale Eagle? What about Sigfried?
Many shouts were mixed together, causing the faces of everyone next to Lei Lin to turn pale instantly.
Then, they were overwhelmed by the more chaotic flow of people, and began to involuntarily follow the current, like a weak leaf in a typhoon, running for their lives without knowing the direction.
"Sister Hera!!" cried Raphinia, jumping into the carriage and taking the place of the groom, who no longer knew where to run. Hold on to the reins in your hand.
The halfling thief had a helpless expression on his face, and his figure disappeared into the crowd.
As for the rest of the human archers, the fellow had stepped on Raphinia's Emmanik at the beginning of the chaos and galloped wildly, and Raphinia was in control of the carriage and could no longer care about the other party. The archer managed to steal the horse.
Crying and screaming came and went, and the faint ogre roars and slashing sounds behind them were the best catalysts. The whole large convoy fell into a collapse situation at once!
A large crowd pushed, squeezed. Even in order to compete for the road, he did not hesitate to face the same kind of sword!
In the midst of this great chaos, Leylin soon became disconnected from the carriage that had preceded him. Of course, he did it on purpose.
"It's really a trap, although it's just a pocket array, but those ogres also have such wisdom, it really can't help but make people look up to it......"
At this time, the bulky carriage was like a broken sailboat in the middle of a tsunami, and it could be destroyed at any time, and the previous dwarf Bam was long gone.
With the other party's physique, Lei Lin could only secretly pray that the other party would not be trampled to death by the panicked crowd.
"But that's my chance!"
Leylin's figure leaped swiftly through the crowd, rushing in the opposite direction, where the ogre's howl grew louder and louder, with a terrifying biting sound.
"Now the main force of the ogre tribe should be here, this chaotic situation is just right for me to fish in troubled waters...... And ......"
A cold glint flashed in Leylin's eyes.
The number of ogres is not superior to the entire caravan at all, and if they are forced, even if they can defeat the entire caravan, they will pay an extremely heavy price.
Therefore, the other party directly set up traps and ambushes on the road, and specially gave way to the latter road.
This was not well-intentioned, but deliberately intended to cause chaos in the caravan - not everyone had the courage to turn around and fight desperately when there was still hope of escape.
And in order to fight for the road and the chance to live, how many people will not hesitate to swing a knife at their companions?
More importantly, following the pursuers and routing the soldiers, there were almost no losses in the battle.
"I'm afraid the only people who can come up with such a plan are the cunning ogre shamans or the two-headed leaders......"
There was a glint in Lei Lin's eyes: "Therefore, the only way to survive now is to go in the opposite direction and directly break through the opponent's pocket encirclement network! Because the main force of the other party is here, and after the battle, there are a large number of routs and captures, and the possibility of reflexively chasing me is very small...... As long as you capture a fast horse, or run wild for a while, you will soon be able to get out of the ogre's rampant area......"
Those who can see this and implement it are all true determination and perseverance, but unfortunately, Lei Lin looked around, and there were almost no choices like him.
Perhaps, some shrewd businessmen could have seen this, but the panic greatly reduced their thinking ability, or they had seen it, but did not have enough force to break the game, so they could only go with the flow and pray to Lady Luck that they would be lucky enough to escape.
And ...... If I don't go to the front line, where can I go to find a high-level ogre to draw energy?"
Lei Lin's figure exploded into a huge carriage with no one in the air, and when he came out again, he had already taken off his leather armor, and the steel long sword he usually used for decoration had long been thrown aside, and he had changed into a black tights, and even covered half of his face with a black veil, looking like a common thief.
It's just that on his left hand, the mage's ring flickered faintly from time to time, and a blood-colored cold glow stretched and contracted on the cuff of his right hand, like a viper's letter.
The further back we go, the less crowded we go, and everywhere you can see discarded flags, wagons, and even armor and swords.
A large amount of blood flowed through the ground, forming small dark red puddles.
From time to time, a few ogres pop up, munching on mutilated corpses in their mouths, which is terrifying to look at.
At this time, on the battlefield, there were still a few mercenary groups fighting bloodily, and the banner of the pale giant eagle in the center stood tall.
"Commander, the brothers can't hold it anymore!"
With a wave of his hand, several blessing spells such as [Energizing Technique] continued to shoot out, refreshing the surrounding mercenaries.
Just now, it was the Pale Eagle and several other medium-sized mercenary groups that held back a large part of the ogre, giving the other caravans a chance to escape.
But at this time, a steady stream of ogres was still surrounding, and even the mercenary group was at a disadvantage in numbers.
"If we can buy this time to escape, our mercenary group's obligations have also been fulfilled! Prepare spells, the whole group will disperse and leave, and we will meet in Boulder Town, which we passed by before!"
Sigfred's body was full of surging fighting energy at this time, and the armor on his body also exuded a misty brilliance, and it turned out to be a magic item of no lower rank.
On top of his silver-white greatsword, it was already stained with ogre blood.
【Tiangang Tyrant !!】
The terrifying combat skills of the high-level warriors were several points more powerful than Raphinia's previous ones, and the explosive fighting spirit was like an arrow, causing heavy casualties to the surrounding ogres in an instant, and even causing a gap in the encirclement.
"The whole regiment broke through !!"
Sigfried rode his horse and galloped, and only when he passed by the mage did a low voice come out: "We break through from the front and converge with the largest city ahead!"
As an old mercenary captain, Sigfred is certainly not as bright and great as it seems.
In fact, in the mercenary industry, good people don't live long at all.
However, as long as he and the mage remained, the Pale Eagle could be rebuilt again at any time.
"From the mercenary's point of view, everything the other party has done is already good, and the last small action is understandable......
Around the battlefield, Lei Lin's body hid in the shadows, and he crossed his arms and commented, "It's just...... This time the ogre is not so simple......"
His gaze crossed the ogre encirclement at the front, and when he reached the back, there was a faint flash of murderous intent in the back.
【Serial Lightning!】
The black-robed mage tore a scroll, the silver-white lightning ring exploded, and continued to jump in the ogre group, and the ogre who was swept by the white lightning immediately screamed and fell, and there was even a scorched smell on his body, making way for the mage.
The mage who saw this scene was overjoyed, but before he could make other moves, a powerful mana fluctuation suddenly came from not far away.
"It's not good!! the mage's face changed wildly.
After the normal ogre fell, several other smaller ogres suddenly appeared out of thin air. (To be continued.) )
