Chapter 33: The Trap
The mercenaries moved forward quickly, listening intently for the sound of trumpets ahead. Eun followed at the end with a serious expression, looking at Nevin from time to time, hoping to find some clues, he always felt that there was something wrong with this little mercenary.
"What's the matter, Fern, what's the problem?" Mizumi asked worriedly, frowning.
"I wasn't sure, but I always felt something was wrong. Fern looked at the mercenaries running in front and replied with a serious expression.
"Are you overthinking, I think that mercenary has a good idea. Stan speaks his mind.
Fern looked around uneasily, there were many woods on either side of the road, although much smaller than the large forest on the north side of the map, but it was more than enough to hide in a small ambush. Looking at Nevin again, he always has his head down, he hardly talks to other mercenaries, and it seems that he is the type who rarely speaks, how could he suddenly make suggestions so confidently?
The more Fern thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and hurriedly beckoned Will who was walking in front and asked him, "Will, are you familiar with this text? Fern tried to pretend to be a casual question.
Still haunted by the dark magic he had cast on Ray, Will glanced cautiously at the mage, keeping a few steps away from him. "He, no one knew about him, and I thought he was weird at the time, and strongly opposed pulling him in, but Miles saw that he was very agile and let him join. Will glanced at Newen to make sure he wasn't paying attention, then turned his head sideways and whispered, "I think he might be a thief, and he escaped when he was wanted and had nowhere to go." ”
"Maybe it's more than that. Fern muttered to himself.
"What are you talking about?" Will asked Fern in confusion. 2.8.Chinese.Text.Net
"Oh no, nothing. Fern smiled. "How long do you remember how long he's been with you?"
Will recalls for a moment. "No more than twenty days, shortly before we set foot in the hills of Tarentara, in an abandoned village. ”
Fern's mind spun rapidly, and an ominous premonition came through his mind.
"We must get in touch with Miles and get them back quickly!" said Fern, anxiously, "You must have a way to communicate with each other, right?"
Will looked at Fern in confusion. "Is this necessary? I don't think it's a problem. ”
"It's too late!" Fern urged loudly, "Hurry up, now, notify them to come back!"
The mercenaries who walked in front heard Fern's roar and looked back at them in unison, only Nevin still kept his head down and didn't react, which made Fern even more sure that there was something wrong with him.
Will was also panicked by Fern's yelling, and nervously took out a horn from his waist. "This is the horn we use for communication, it is extremely penetrating, and the sound can be transmitted for more than ten miles. ”
Quentin also walked up to the two of them. "What's going on?"
"There's something wrong with that text, there must be danger here, tell Miles that they're back!" said Fern anxiously and quickly.
Quentin looked back at Nevin, who was behaving strangely at this time, and Nevin still didn't look back at them, but just stood in place with his head slightly bowed. Seeing this, Quentin couldn't help but feel uneasy. "Inform Miles!" he instructed Will. After saying that, he immediately ran to Nevin, grabbed his clothes, lifted him up, and the little mercenary's feet left the ground, and the whole person was lifted in the air by Quentin. "What the hell are you playing?"
Nevin slowly raised his head, his face full of gloom, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Beg Edla, maybe you'll survive. After speaking, a hoarse laugh came out of his throat, and compared with his previous cowardly appearance, it seemed to be a completely different person, and the people present were terrified.
A chill rose up Ferne's back, and he unconsciously looked around hoping to see some signs of danger, but nothing happened.
"Then it must be Miles who is in danger there, hell, it's been so long, I hope it's not too late. Fern kept clutching his hair with both hands, feeling annoyed that he had only discovered the problem at this point.
At this time, a low and deep horn sound came from Will, who was blowing the horn with all his might, and the horn sound was extremely penetrating, like a wave into the distance. After three sounds, the surroundings fell silent again, and all the mercenaries of the Crow Regiment held their breath and looked anxiously in the direction where Miles was going.
"What are you waiting for? we don't have much time!" Fern asked Will urgently, this was not the contact information of the Crows he had been in.
"Three horns indicate danger, and according to our agreement, if Miles hears them, they will immediately respond with a horn, but ......," Will looked at Quentin uneasily, "but there has been no response so far. ”
Quentin threw Nevin to the ground and shouted to the other mercenaries, "Everyone stay in formation and march forward quickly, Miles must be in trouble!" Then he looked at Nevin who had fallen to the ground, and instructed the two mercenaries nearby, "You two tie him up, drag or pull him, follow the others!"
The mercenary tied up the five flowers with both hands and feet, and did not forget to punch twice to vent his anger while tying it. But Nevin still smiled weirdly, looking at the mercenaries with disdain.
The rest of the mercenaries began to run forward quickly, keeping a certain distance between each other, and the outermost people kept an eye on the situation on both sides, although everyone was in a hurry, but they were not flustered.
"What a well-trained mercenary. Ruiya ran after him, admiringly.
"Yes, the Crows are not in vain. Fern glanced at Rui as he ran, and asked with a serious expression, "Did you hear Nevin just say about Edla, I want to make sure I didn't hear it wrong."
"Yes, it's Ida, you heard it right. Ruiya looked at Fern without any expression. "I think maybe we can find some truth here. And ......" Rui turned his head and looked ahead again. "This is supposed to be Aidra I, the founder of Doyle. ”
After a series of events before, Nissy's physical strength is much better than before, and she can keep up with everyone more easily at this time, and she still has the strength to speak, "It seems that we are at the beginning of an era, and all order is about to be established." ”
"Yes, it's a heroic time. Stan agrees.
Fern didn't speak, he subconsciously glanced at Stan and saw that Stan wasn't relieved that there was anything unusual about Edra mentioned in the previous text.
