Chapter 583: The Smell of Conspiracy
Dozens of miles northeast of Sidondis, behind a small hill, Bonnard was sitting leisurely on a piece of gold ore, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Great Elder!" a sleek black-clad magician came up to him and called out softly.
"Hmm, you're back?" Bonnard opened his eyes, "How's it going?"
"The young lady first made a show in the east of the city, and then fought fiercely with the Dogtail Legion in the north of the city, as if she was preparing to meet us in the north, and flanked the Dogtail Legion in front and rear. ”
The man in black quickly reported the news he had discovered: "Then, as you expected, at the intersection of the Northeast Official Road, there is indeed a team of about 2,000 people ready to intercept us. However, by the time their subordinates returned, they had already withdrawn to the north, as if to support the Dogtail Legion north of the city. ”
"Oh, really withdrawn?" Bonnard raised an eyebrow, "who is leading that interception team?
The man in black immediately replied: "That's the small family alliance of the Western Ten Districts, and the leader is naturally that Lansel. In addition, there are two sixth-order mages with outstanding strength, namely Amak of the fire system and Rustin of the earth type, who have a lot of voice in the alliance. ”
Bonnard turned his head to look at a gentleman standing beside him, who immediately understood, took out a paper booklet, rummaged through it, and then handed one of the pages to Bonnard.
Bonnard took the booklet and looked at it carefully for a while, and pinched his beard: "Well, this Lansel is mainly outstanding in organizational skills and affinity, and he is also a bit of a brain. This Amak is nothing more than a thug...... Hey, this Rustin...... There are smart people! Hehe, interesting. ”
The literary man took the booklet handed back by Bonnard and asked softly, "What does the Great Elder think is strange about it?"
"Don't jump to conclusions. Bonnard smiled contemptuously: "Give the old man a topographical map of the vicinity of Sidondis City." ”
The man immediately took out a water reflection stone and projected the topographic map stored in it to Bonnard.
Bonnard squinted his eyes slightly, and after carefully studying the topographical map again, he suddenly chuckled in a low voice: "Interesting, these guys are not stupid! But this time, the old man is afraid that he will give you a big surprise." Herald-"--
"Bring me a topographical map!" said Amak as he came to a trench and whispered.
Immediately someone gave him a topographical map. He looked around, compared it with the topographic map a few times, and then nodded: "This is it! As soon as you find any trouble, immediately report it to the old man!"
"Yes!" the two teams immediately took the order and left.
Ah Mike nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the rest of the people and ordered: "The rest of the people pay attention to concealment, who is particularly flawed and ruins the big thing, see if the old man doesn't twist his head!"
Everyone quickly agreed, and they all searched for or used magic to create temporary hideouts, and soon completed the ambush. Ah Mike looked around, and finally he himself crouched down in the trench and waited quietly.
It didn't take long for a magician who had been sent out by him to drill back and hurriedly said, "My lord, there is a team of magicians running over from the Northern Passage, and there are about a thousand people!"
"Ha, it's finally here! I didn't expect it to be on the old man's side. ”
Ah Mai raised his eyebrows, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "This group of cunning profiteers still didn't choose to take the official road in the Northeast in the end. What is their general strength?"
"Judging from the intensity of the magic fluctuations, most of them are second- and third-order magicians. However, the possibility of their camouflage cannot be ruled out. The spy reported truthfully.
Ah Mike smiled contemptuously: "The main forces of the Su Jili family are all in Sidondis City, and it is very good to be able to gather a ragtag army to come over to support! The old man estimates that there are only a few high-level magicians in it, and the rest are all second- and third-order little guys. This idea, the old man himself can take them down!"
When the spy heard this, he hurriedly reminded: "Don't take it lightly, it's the magician group of the Su Jili family......
"The old man knows, I don't need you to remind me!" Ah Mike glared at him, "Hurry up, send a message to Young Master Lancel and that guy Rustin, and ask them to bring someone over to block Su Jili......'s reinforcements!
"Master of the family!" Just as Ah Mai was about to take the lead, another person ran back with a nervous look on his face and reported, "Su Jili's reinforcements have appeared on the Northeast Official Road!
"What?!" Amak and everyone around him were taken aback.
Ah Mike immediately asked, "How many people are there on the other side?"
"There are about more than three thousand people, and it is certain that more than half of them are magicians!" the man quickly replied, "The preliminary estimate of the opponent's strength is that most of them should be of the third order or above!"
"It's actually divided into two ways to advance! Sure enough, it's a profiteer family, and there is still a hand. Ah Mai was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "Hurry up and inform Young Master Lancel of them, and ask him to lead someone to directly intercept the enemy on the official road in the northeast." As for the miscellaneous fish in this northern passage, I will hand it over to the old man!"
However, at this moment, two more scouts sent out by him ran back in a hurry, and said in unison: "My lord, for some reason, the enemy suddenly and quickly retreated!"
Ah Mike was stunned when he heard this: "We have been discovered? No, hurry up and pursue—"
"But my lord, which way are we chasing?" asked one of them.
"Idiot! A team of three thousand people, we can eat it for a while? Naturally, it is the team of thousands of people chasing the Northern Passage!" Ah Mike gave him a burst of excitement and hurriedly greeted, "You guys hurry up and pass the news from here to Young Master Lansel, and the Northeast Official Road will be handed over to them." All the rest, come with the old man!"
Then, he pulled out his wand and chased after him towards the Northern Passage. The rest of the people hurried to follow, and soon disappeared without a trace. The remaining scouts were not ambiguous, and immediately rushed towards Lancel's headquarters.
"What? The enemy retreated suddenly, and Mr. Amak chased him out?" said Lancel, whose face darkened.
"Amake that idiot!" Rustin scolded hatefully, "Poor Kou Mo chases, isn't he worried at all that this is a trick to lure the enemy?"
"It will be too late to summon Mr. Amak back now. ”
Lansel exhaled heavily, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, looked at Rustin and said, "Since that's the case, then you can only fight hard!"
Rustin nodded: "The two groups of men and horses retreated at the same time, they should want to join forces together, and then turn around and eat Amak." In other words, the enemy reinforcements should be these four thousand, of which about two and a half thousand are magicians. Fortunately, they are not strong individually, and we are not invincible. Now in this situation, I can only rush over to save him. ”
"Hopefully we'll be in time. "If we can defeat one of the teams before the enemy joins forces, we will have achieved our goal." ”
Rustin smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this. It seems that this situation can only exist in theory. (To be continued.) )
