Chapter 29 Working together
The dark and dreary night seems to be smeared heavily on the sky.
The earth had fallen asleep, and there was no sound in the dark forest except for the gentle breeze and the occasional howl or two of wolves.
Everyone was busy and tired all day, and there was no other entertainment after eating and drinking, so they could only fall asleep early.
The night was melting, and the dark sky was dotted with stars, and only then could I faintly see a few stars emitting a dim light, and occasionally shooting stars streaked across the night sky, adding a bit of vitality to the silent night.
A slender and lonely figure crawled out of the dark cave, she quietly glanced at the night camp, and left without hesitation, running into unknown danger.
There was a sultry humidity in the air, like a fog.
The faint light of the watchtower on the Emerald City, like a guiding light, sets off the dark night and makes it more peaceful.
The breeze was gently blowing, and the leaves were rattling.
Marianda walked briskly, without notice to anyone, and wanted to leave the crowd.
She had listened to all of Donn's words last night, so she wasn't prepared to implicate anyone else.
Allen's matter has not been figured out, and it will always be a piece of heart in her heart.
Although she is a powerful magician, she is still a weak woman at heart.
She had just left for less than a moment when she saw a sudden noise on the road ahead, and Don suddenly appeared in front of her, with Lucia, Celtic, Bruce and others standing beside her.
Don looked at the surprised Marianda, and smiled mischievously: "Come out, don't let Lady Marianda wait for a long time." ”
I saw the figure swaying in the grass, and in the blink of an eye, John, Jack, Richard, and Tedley walked out of the jungle.
Tang En pointed at Marianda and said with a relaxed smile: "I know you don't want to wait more than a day, so waiting for you in front and everyone acting together can also have a surprise effect." ”
"You don't have to, it's all my personal business today. I can't let you take risks for me. Looking at the companions who appeared in front of her, Marianda felt a burst of joy and a burst of worry in her heart, so she said with no master.
"We're either close friends or lovers. Even the two of John have contract constraints, how can you let yourself go on a risk alone. Don't say anything more, listen to my command, and today you must get to the bottom of it and solve your heart disease for many years. Don looked at Marianda with a serious smile on his lips.
Although there were only nine of them, they were all strong professionals, each of whom was able to take charge on their own and had rich combat experience.
Even more terrifying, there are three spellcasters among them.
The entire spell-casting team of the Dragon's Horn Mercenary Regiment is concentrated in this small team.
John and Jack were at the front, Celt and Bruce were the flanks, and Tedley and Richard were at the back, protecting Donn's three spellcasters in the middle of the formation.
"I've thought about it carefully, and I'm sure that Eren betrayed us. Will you be able to face this calmly then?What is going on between the two of you?" The mystery was about to be revealed, and Don didn't want to keep the long-standing question in his heart, so he asked Marianda directly.
"Don't worry, once Alan turns his back on me, I will not hesitate to cut off my feelings, and I will be merciless. Marianda replied with a hint of determination in her cold eyes.
As for what happened between the two men, Marianda didn't elaborate, and Don only heard some speculation from Catrot's big mouth.
The camp of Donn and the others was located on the outskirts of the Oxhorn Forest, no more than forty miles from the Shadow Castle.
During the day they were very careful and only moved around the cave, and did not light a fire all day, so they were not detected by the enemy.
As for Marianda's results from last night, Shadow Castle didn't find out for the first time.
Allen, like Donn, sent spies early this morning to get a general idea of what happened last night.
Compared with Bruce and others who were knocking on the side to find out the information, Allen took refuge in Cowbert, so he could naturally send spies into the city openly.
For the results of Tang En and the others, Alan was also greatly surprised in his heart.
In his mind, last night's trap had been able to cut off a few of Marianda's helpers, and then he would be a little more sure of dealing with Marianda.
Unfortunately, the result was the opposite, not only did the thieves union, but even the most powerful city defense army lost two captains.
Because Don and the others went out of the city at night, Alan didn't know about their casualties.
However, according to his estimates, even if Tang En and the others suffered less casualties, their combat effectiveness could not remain intact.
Therefore though he was alarmed, he did not move.
Early this morning, he secretly purged some of Marianda's cronies and firmly controlled the stronghold of Shadow Castle.
His approach was not approved by the other deputy head of the regiment, Todak.
The Dragon's Horn was originally more and more prosperous, but last night five backbones were missing, especially the two deputy captains, and almost the entire mage team collapsed.
Marianda and Lucia became wanted, and Todak had just heard about it.
Although he is upright, he is not stupid, he immediately guessed some inside stories, and he did not understand Allen's approach.
As an upright dwarf, Todak fell out with Eren on the spot, leaving the Shadow Castle with a few of his men and entering the Emerald City.
With the loss of Todak, a powerful teammate, Alan finally felt a little panicked in his heart. Without Todak's help, he might not have had the upper hand in the face of the mad woman Marianda.
In addition to the five members of Marianda, there are only eight professionals in the entire mercenary group, and if Todak leaves, then there will only be six of his men.
Powerful teammate Wood has been injured and will not be able to play at full strength for a short period of time, plus Katrod is still Marianda's confidant.
Facing the mage team of the mercenary group, Alan didn't have much confidence from the bottom of his heart.
He suddenly felt that he was in a little haste, he shouldn't be cautious, and he should give all the information to Barry and the others.
His heart became more and more anxious, and he galloped all the way to the Emerald City.
He met with Corbett in person, hoping for his support to help him stabilize Shadow Castle.
It's a pity that Colbert is like a mirror, and he doesn't rub a little sand in his eyes.
He was annoyed that Eren was playing with him, and did not promise to support him in the first place.
Alan returned to the Shadow Castle dejectedly, feeling more and more secretly worried.
From what he knows about his wife, Marianda, this woman is very vindictive and is not a person who suppresses her character at all.
With a little respite, that terrible woman will come back to kill with revenge.
