The merchant rushed into the woods without hesitation, but was immediately overtaken by Alan and the others, and in his anxiety, he did not ride his horse.

Fortunately, Alan and the others had already prepared to bring his horses over, otherwise by the time he reached the middle of the forest, it was estimated that the battle would have already ended.

"Thank you!"

Faced with the reins handed over, the merchant did not forget to thank him in his anxiety, but he only said thank you, and rode away without explaining at all.

The mercenary Dario frowned, and it was rare that he didn't follow his employer's pace, but looked at Allen: "What should we do?"

It's not that he's changed his attitude to Allen, but now he can only ask him, the merchant Kleist is obviously not in a normal state at the moment, he must know something that the others don't know, and the hidden dangers don't seem to be explained when they submit the contract, which makes Dario a little overwhelmed.

For rational reasons, he could abandon the merchant at this time, and the contract was not violated, after all, he did not state in advance that the danger of this trip would be so many.

However, out of emotion, he could not sit idly by and watch his employer break into the crisis, which violated his mercenary character and sense of responsibility.

From here, it can be seen that Dario is a mercenary with a good character, a strong sense of responsibility, and a strong spirit of contract.

There is no so-called god of contract in this world, and the simple conclusion of a contract is only a signature on paper, without supernatural constraints, and even because of the chaos of the country, there is not much legal binding force.

Alan couldn't let the merchant go alone, not because he was a good man or a virgin, but because they had no other path but to move forward.

He could have chosen to escape from the forest path and run away in the other direction of the woods, and he might be able to escape, but this was done if the orcs had no time to pursue.

If the orcs pursue, then their invasion of the woods is tantamount to death, and the Molotov cocktail is almost depleted, and it cannot be repeated.

And even if he could run anywhere, Samuel's city lord was now deep in the woods, could there be safer than where the Apocalypse Knight was?

Their hope now can only be placed on Gross Samuel, the Knight of the Apocalypse, if something happens to him, Allen and the others will basically run away, because it means that the surroundings of Samuel City are no longer safe.

Therefore, in the face of Dario's inquiry, Alan did not hesitate anything, and directly grabbed the horse's belly and ran into the depths of the woods.

He represented his decision with his actions, and the Andrew brothers naturally had to follow. Seeing this, Dario seemed to have made up his mind not to hesitate any longer, and followed him into the woods as well.

Hanaris was actually thinking about escaping, because the safety of the merchant or the Grand Duke of the Rose was none of his business, but now that his employer and friends had already entered, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.

"Running away alone, I'm not that stupid. ”

He muttered this, and finally rushed into the forest, leaving only one cry: "Hey, wait for me!"

Because of the downhill road, the horses were running faster than when they came, but it was also a bit dangerous because of this, so Alan only vaguely heard the shouts from behind, but he didn't pay attention to it.

He was staring at the back of the merchant in front of him at this time, so as not to lose himself, but his idea was basically unfounded.

Compared to the able-bodied Alan, the merchant really seemed to be an ordinary merchant, and he was unable to speed up despite his eagerness, not because the horses were so fast, but because he didn't dare to go too fast, lest he be thrown out.

Alan can catch up with the merchant at this time, but the situation at this time is very troublesome to speak, and the merchant is not in the mood to explain, it is better to hang behind him, and when he arrives at the place, he will naturally understand the situation, but before that, he has already guessed.

"Trap...."

Thinking of the words that the merchant had said before, Alan thought thoughtfully.

Judging from the information obtained so far, the order should be that the merchant was ordered to contact the orc tribe ten years ago, and it took ten years to gain their trust, and then recently, under the carelessness of the orcs, he used some kind of loophole to steal the orc's holy artifact, that is, the forbidden sky stone, and then fell into exile.

Finally, under persecution, he used the hand given to him by Samuel City, that is, to "summon" the Knight of the Apocalypse.

Why are the Apocalypse Knights summoned instead of the Army?

He first thought of the question. But in the blink of an eye, it seems that the army does not have the ability to support so quickly.

So why not lay an ambush in advance?

"The merchant doesn't have the ability to contact Samuel halfway, or is he afraid to contact Samuel?"

"Or did he contact him in advance, but Samuel didn't have a way to do a good job of ambush.....ing the army?

These questions kept popping up in Alan's mind, but fortunately it didn't affect his hurry, and there were already charred black forests on both sides, gray smoke rising, broken branches and trees, and it was extremely desolate at a glance.

But what might have been a cause for him to look at in the past, but now he didn't take the situation to heart.

Faced with the danger that was about to come, Alan couldn't take care of something else.

After thinking for a while, he sighed: "I seem to have been unlucky to step on a big hole. ”

He had now figured out why his group had been able to attract the powerful guy who was obviously the leader and the large number of orc soldiers behind him by killing just one orc in the first place.

Because they were searching for the traces of the merchants! When they encountered an emergency, they rushed over with all their might.

Alan was unaware of Elba Ironhoof's "relative" relationship with the slain orc, and he now only felt unlucky.

Because they were a little stunned by the orcs, they were like frightened birds after entering Breser, not only hired mercenaries, but also accepted them without the slightest suspicion in the face of the free labor delivered to the door, although it was mainly because of the seamless performance of the merchants, but it was inevitable that there were reasons for Allen's carelessness.

And then they just got out of control.

There were many roads leading to Semere, but they were constantly guided by merchants along the way, and they came to this path through the forest, and it seemed that the merchants had a great sense of security here. However, the orcs, as if certain that the merchants would pass by, laid an ambush here.

It's just an ambush, or rather, it's not an ambush, it's a bait!

In the face of danger, the merchant naturally thought of his last means of saving his life - summoning the Knight of the Apocalypse.

However, judging from the explosion he had seen before, he was sure that the orcs had been prepared for this!

"It is clear that the merchant's plan is known to the orcs. ”

"Did he accidentally leak it himself, or something else?"

Because of the lack of information, Alan couldn't continue to ponder, and he didn't have time to ponder, because the businessman in front of him had stopped.

Because of his distraction, he almost crashed into the merchant, but fortunately his horse was still "sane" and would not stupidly crash into his own kind, so he stopped the car in time.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as this sentence came to his mouth, he swallowed it, because he had already seen the situation in front of him clearly without the businessman's explanation.

The illusory chains wrapped around Gross Samuel's body, and not far away, a large area of crystal clear stone emitted a large amount of light, and an illusory figure held it in his hand above his head!
