Chapter 73, Susan is a cute girl
Erwin's plan was actually quite simple.
But strictly speaking, this is not his plan, but the task flow guide laid by the technical streamer on the game forum.
Because of the conspiracy of the Steeltooth and Iron Hammer Bandits, this plan is aimed at luring the two bandit leaders away, not letting them be together, and then breaking them one by one.
In the game, after destroying the bandit group with the task of saving the caravan and mercenaries from the slaughterhouse, the player needs to let the surviving bandit lead the way to find the bandit den and destroy it.
The plan on the forum was to use the surviving robbers as a fishing line to catch one of the bandit leaders with a steel tooth hammer.
Before that, the player can also use the life-saving grace to let the rescued mercenary group help ambush the bandit leader fished out, or they can choose to take advantage of the time when the robbers are lured away and the garrison of the robbers' den is empty.
The former is more troublesome, but the rewards will be more after the experience and task completion, while the latter is simpler, you only need to know where the den of the steel tooth hammer is, but the corresponding reward will be less.
Erwin did not accept the task of destroying the bandits, so naturally he would not have had a thankless time to choose the former way. And his purpose is only to rescue the spy leader Mr. Hall, and he has little interest in the two brothers Scott and Cyril Hammer.
The three of them galloped on the vast iron hoof plains, and it would take at least a whole day to travel from Baron Xavier's villa to the den of the Steeltooth Hammer Bandits, and if the bandit leader was fished out, then the three of them would have at least two days to move.
But before that, you'll need to lurk outside the bandits' den, and you'll need to avoid running into them head-on on the way, so there's no slow time to waste.
The moon, known as the source of magic in the night sky, sank into the sky, and the dark sky slowly turned deep blue and then white.
Accompanied by the cold morning breeze and white fog on the plains, a ray of dawn in the east pierced through the clouds on the horizon and shone on the entire land, representing the departure of night and the coming of light.
After the three of them left Baron Xavier's villa, they drove all night.
Even if people were not tired, the three majestic black-maned horses were tired enough to find a place with plenty of water to rest.
However, the advantage of having a priest is obvious, Illya cast a one-ring spell [Blessing] on Erwin and Susan, and some fatigue on the two of them immediately disappeared and became energetic.
"Huh? Prophet of the Holy White, you already know where the slayer of the wicked is! ”
During the morning break, Erwin recounted his plan - while following the caravan, he only said that the caravan might be plundered by bandits, but did not explain that he wanted to use it to lead to the plan of the steeltooth hammer.
At this time, as soon as she heard all of Erwin's plans, Illya immediately noticed the key point - Elwin already knew the exact location of the den of the steeltooth hammer.
"Do you have the eyes of the Night Walker in the Slayer of the Wicked?" Illya asked the question again, her golden eyes widening as she looked Elwin up and down.
An adventurer from the Southern Big 6, but she is so familiar with the situation in North Sunderland, and has so many secrets - she is a secondary two and not an idiot, how can she really believe the apparent identities of Erwin and Susan.
It's just that the female mage feels a very subtle sense of pleasure with these two people, which she has never felt in the year since she started wandering, so she doesn't care about the identities of the two.
"No, you don't care how I know." Erwin didn't bother to explain clearly, no, it should be said that he didn't think of any excuse to explain.
Glancing at Illya and Susan, and comparing the two together, Erwin suddenly saw that Susan was much cuter - at least the single ponytail girl rarely asked any unnecessary questions now, which gave Erwin a hint of what he felt like when he was in the game strategy group.
Now that Erwin was staring at herself, Susan was stunned for a moment, and reached out to flick the ponytail hanging down her shoulder: "What's wrong?" ”
"No, suddenly you're cute." Erwin said very honestly.
Susan's white cheeks immediately turned red, and she picked up her winged bow and stabbed him again, but the latter hurriedly begged for mercy: "Slip of the tongue, let's talk about the plan of action after going to the robber group's den." ”
"What is a scheme?" Illya asked curiously.
Erwin didn't explain it to her, but instead stated the plan of action he was considering.
In fact, it is still inseparable from the various breakthroughs, of course, there is no need to break them, only the enemy's strength and strength are constantly divided and separated.
After arriving at the den of the bandit group and confirming that one of the bandit leaders in the steel-toothed hammer has been fished out, the three of them set a time, after which Susan and Illya, who can attack remotely, will scare the snakes outside the den to attract the attention of the robbers in the den, while Erwin is a cameo as a thief, sneaking into the den from other places to rescue the captured spy leader Hall.
This plan is not difficult to say, it is not so simple to say simple, the key point is that the time should be well coordinated, originally Susan is not very sensitive to the passage of time, and it is easy to make mistakes in this regard, but Illya does not have this problem.
After seeing Erwin's strength in the villa, Illya did not oppose the plan to let Erwin infiltrate the bandit den alone, and Susan was extremely confident in his strength and ability.
All that needs to be added to the plan are some minor problems and a retreat after the rescue is successful.
With the magical equipment of [Shadow Cloak], it is not difficult for Susan and Illya to get rid of the robbers after provoking them, and Erwin himself is very familiar with the terrain near the bandits' dens, so he can just find a way out.
As for any accidents or changes along the way, they can only rely on random adaptation to deal with them, and so far this plan of action has been finalized.
After resting, the three of them returned to the road, and Illya even deliberately applied a one-ring spell [Radiant Grace] to each of the three black-maned horses, which increased the values of the three horses in all aspects, and their strength and endurance became faster.
It wasn't until dusk that the three of them finally arrived at the den of the Steeltooth Hammer Bandits, a mountainous area.
It's similar to the mountainous area near Black Pearl Cell City, and there are not many such places on the Iron Hoof Plain, and many of the robbers galloping on the plains have also chosen the mountain area as their den, but the den of the steel tooth hammer is relatively remote.
When he saw the mountains from afar, Erwin took Susan and Illya on a detour, remembering that there was a watchtower in the robbers' den, and if he got too close, he might be revealed.
The bandits' den is located at the entrance to the mountains, and they can observe the Iron Hoof Plain with a large fan field of vision, and if a large number of troops approach, they will be observed at the first time.
It took a few moments for the three of them to circle to the back of the mountains, enter the mountains through a rugged mountain path, and climb the mountains to a nearby hill near the bandits' den.
It was nightfall, and a full day had passed since the time of departure from Baron Xavier's villa, and when he stood on the hill and looked down, he could clearly see the bandits' den on the mountainside on the opposite side of the mountain.
It looks like a small walled city, with most of the wooden structures except for some brick and stone buildings on the wall, and a tall watchtower on the grounds inside the wall.
With Susan's eyesight, even in the dark, she could see a clear figure on the watchtower looking in the direction of the Iron Hoof Plain, but even if the other party turned his head, he would definitely not be able to see the three of them.
Having seen the ruins of the magnificent gods and electors in the Shadow Mountains, this bandit den is now only rudimentary and small in the eyes of Erwin and Susan, but it is not easy to build such a walled city in the barren mountains, and the manpower and material resources spent are simply astronomical for a bandit group.
In the past, Erwin had such a question in the game, why the steel tooth hammer built such a walled city in this barren mountain wilderness.
You must know that the average bandit group either looks for abandoned castles or simply uses caves as dens, and rarely builds their own like steel-toothed hammers.
In the game, you can excuse the reason why the game is set up like this, but if it is as realistic as it is now, then there will definitely be a reason why the steel tooth hammer does this.
But now is not the time to think about these inconsequential questions, Erwin turned to Susan and asked, "Can you see it?" ”
Susan was looking at the brightly lit city below, and when she heard this, she shook her head and said: I can see it, but there is no movement, has the robber you let go not come back yet? ”
As soon as the words were finished, Susan blinked, as if she had seen something, and quickly continued: "The robber has returned, even slower than we are. ”
"It's good to be back."
Erwin breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was up to him to see if the two bandit leaders of the Steel Tooth Iron Hammer would be fooled, he deliberately gave three days so urgently, just because he didn't want the other party to think too much.
The caravan's cargo and Baron Xavier alone were enough to lure a bandit leader, and now with Jenny, who is important to Steeltooth Hammer, Steeltooth Scott and Hammer Cyril can't be indifferent anyway.
That being said, Erwin was still a little nervous, after all, he was no longer in the game, and it was not surprising that something had changed.
If the other party is not fooled, he can only carry out another more dangerous plan.
At this moment, Susan suddenly said, "Huh? Someone else is coming. ”
