Chapter 118: Dilemma

The figure of the merchant did not obscure Eren's vision, and the encounter of the Apocalypse Knight came into view with Eren's arrival.

Ahead was a glade, which Eren was familiar with, and this seemed to be the place where the Andrew brothers fought with the orc leader, and the charred gray-black marks on the ground were clearly visible, indicating the terrible situation of the original burning fire, and the branches of the surrounding trees were still burning with flames.

The knight is now standing in the middle of the woodland, or rather, not standing, but restrained here!

The illusory green-glowing chains stretched from three directions, from head to toe, tightly wrapped around the knight's ornate armor, and though the knight struggled, it was largely in vain

The illusory chains seemed to be tenacious, and no matter how much the knight struggled, or even brought turmoil to the surrounding air, it could not be shaken in the slightest, only green ripples appeared in mid-air.

Looking along the chains, three illusory figures immediately came into view!

Yes, illusory figures!

Or not human, the arched waist, the sharp fangs, and the strange dress all prove that they are not humans, but orcs!

The shadows of the three beasts are ethereal and hazy, seemingly composed of streams of green smoke, floating on the ground, the lower body is like light smoke, the upper body is relatively clear, the facial features are basically constant, and the strangely shaped animal skin "clothes" can also show their shapes erratically.

Allen, they are not far from the battlefield ahead, so their arrival naturally attracted many eyes in front, but except for the Apocalypse Knight, the rest of the eyes seemed to be just indifferent.

The three strange figures didn't seem to matter to their arrival, or were they not affected at all?

Eren wasn't sure if his spells would have an effect on the bound knight, and he didn't dare to act rashly now.

Because in the jungle on both sides, countless orc soldiers are staring at them with scarlet eyes and weapons in their hands!

"Damn it!"

It was only at this time that Alan suddenly realized that he seemed to have accidentally stepped into an ambush!

The merchant also found out about this, so he didn't dare to act when he was near the edge. Fortunately, the orc soldiers only pointed their bows at them, and had no intention of attacking immediately.

They seemed to be waiting for orders? Alan couldn't be sure, because according to past experience, orc soldiers were not the kind of army that were disciplined, and they were often unable to hold back in the face of similar battles, let alone the enemy?

But why don't they dare to "act rashly" now?

The merchant didn't know when he moved to Alan's side, so he saw Alan's uncertainty at this time, he seemed to be very good at observing words and feelings, so he whispered: "Obviously, they have a mind that goes far beyond instinct, and they have to suppress their bestiality before they get someone's instructions, so as not to be punished for it. ”

The merchant seemed to have calmed down at this time, without the anxiety he had just had, and his words seemed very calm.

Confident, or desperate to fearless?

Alan didn't know much about the psychology of the businessman, but that didn't stop him from asking, "What the hell is going on?"

As usual, Eren simply moved his mouth, and the voice came to the merchant's ears so clearly that only he could hear it.

Usually the merchant was curious about this, but now he didn't have the heart to be curious about Allen's methods, and in the face of the young man's question, he shrugged his shoulders casually: "Obviously, my operation failed, this is a well-designed trap. ”

"The orcs have already prepared a second Forbidden Sky Stone, maybe the one from the Burning Wilderness, maybe the one from the Emerald Stone Forest, who knows, anyway, we stupidly stepped into the trap. ”

It seems that although it is quite normal, the businessman should be full of frustration at this time, but Alan only pouted at this: "I don't know if you are stupid or not, I am quite stupid anyway." ”

He felt that he was not very smart, or that he was too careless.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him not to spot the orcs lurking in ambush on both sides of the road, but apparently, he had wandered into the world before, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already come to the merchant.

This seems to be an old problem, initially after awakening the memories of his previous life, because of all kinds of discomfort, he will always fall into contemplation and reminiscence, and in the long run, his head will be a little idle unconsciously, and he will subconsciously fall into thinking whenever he has time.

This old problem has brought him many troubles, and it seems to be the most dangerous one at this time!

Carefully inspecting the battlefield, except for the first glance, the Apocalypse Knight has always looked like he has bowed his head and is silent, completely without the sense of casualness when he first appeared, and the lowered head makes people unable to see his expression, if it is not for the struggle from time to time, Alan will even feel that he has fallen into a coma.

The armor was messy, the helmet didn't know where it was thrown, a long hair was scattered and scattered, there were no wounds on the knight's body, but the whole body seemed to be constantly oozing blood, flowing down the knight's boots to the ground, the golden liquid with emerald green flowed on the golden armor, gathering under his feet, the dry ground continued to absorb them, and a little twigs began to break through the ground.

Alan had a deep understanding of this, so he knew that it was not a hindsight, but the characteristics of the knight's bloodline, and the bloodline of the Samuel family seemed to be related to plants, and the ability to give birth to plants was one of their characteristics.

The three illusory orcs didn't seem to care about this, and since Allen's arrival, they had been indifferent, motionless, at three angles, maintaining the existence of chains, and they didn't speak, just floating quietly.

The one holding the Forbidden Sky Stone high seemed to glance in their direction before, but it was only a glance, and nothing else happened.

The forbidden stone in his hand emitted a colorful light to envelop the large open space in front of him, and the two Alan and the orcs on both sides all stayed outside the light shroud, and Eren stopped here with the merchant, and the merchant seemed to be very concerned about this light and did not dare to take a step forward.

Of course, under the gaze of the orc soldiers, he did not dare to make any moves.

In the blink of an eye, the previous orc leader was lying not far from the Apocalypse Knight, and he seemed to have been subjected to a fierce attack from his wounds, and his motionless appearance seemed to be silent, but if you looked closely, you would find that the slightly heaving chest still proved that he was not dead.

Without the command of the orc leader, the orc soldiers seemed to be able to obey the orders of the three orcs made of green smoke, but they obviously didn't intend to pay attention to these ordinary orcs with a disregarded posture, but the orc soldiers took care of them very much, and didn't even dare to move so as not to disturb them, and then "suffered" by their punishment....

"I always feel like the situation is a fluke. Alan muttered in a low voice of joy or chagrin.

The merchant observed something else: "What about the others?"

Alan pursed his lips and laughed at himself, "Obviously, they're not that stupid. ”

Of course, it's not so stupid, because as long as you get close to here, ordinary people can observe the hidden dangers in the woods, and as experienced mercenaries and blood knights, Andrew and they won't run over stupidly, and now they probably don't know where to hide.

Alan had little hope for this backhand, but the merchant was so excited that he whispered, "Then there is no chance of us escaping!"

"Where can I escape?"

Alan retorted, "The Duke of Samuel is already in crisis, where else can we flee to?"

Other cities?long journey, I don't think our horses can escape the pursuit of the Orc wolf. ”

The merchant was a little hesitant about his words, as if he didn't know whether to tell Alan or not, but in the end he whispered to Allen: "Don't worry about the Duke, he has a way to get out of the current situation." ”

Hearing this, Alan frowned, because he didn't find out that the merchant had communicated with the Apocalypse Knight, and it was not clear why the merchant said that.

So he asked, "What way?"

"I don't know, anyway he has a way. The merchant's words were vague and his expression suspicious, obviously uncertain, but he seemed to have extraordinary confidence in the Knight of the Apocalypse.

Alan didn't know where he got his confidence, and just wanted to continue asking, but a dry voice came from his ears in vain.

"Gross Samuel, don't try to struggle, your father died at our hands eighteen years ago, do you think you are better than your father?"

The dry sound seemed to come from all sides of the woods, ethereal and dull, eerie and creepy.
