4. The Orc Slayer Chapter 39 Bait
(The battle plot is more difficult to write, and there will be more in a while!)
After leaving the manor, Donald did not take the usual road outside of Red Maple, but planned to walk directly through the wild forest between the manor and Boulder City. There's a rugged path carved out by hunters and adventurers in the direction of Boulder.
In addition to being closer to the straight, Donald also had his own purpose.
Because he knew that since the last failed assassination and raid, his every move must be under the watchful eye of the other party. If you can first carry out street assassination, and then dispatch a rare profession such as a sorcerer, it is definitely not a simple force that is against you, maybe it is the hand of the Archon of the North County.
However, Donald himself has no clear evidence, so he can only choose to lure the snake out of the hole, solve the threat of the sorcerer first, deter the other party from doing other things for the time being, and wait until he returns from the battlefield, and then have a good time with them!
So he chose such a deserted place to go on the road, in order to use his body as bait, hoping to lure the other party out and catch them all.
In fact, Donald's approach was indeed successful, and in a hotel in Red Maple Town, since the last failed raid, the sorcerer Goldman had been staying here for two days, not only to recover from his injuries, but also to facilitate the nearby surveillance.
He was monitoring the movements of the Night Manor from the air through the Demon Eye that he summoned every day, and at this time he had already spotted his target leaving.
"Alone, with only two followers on the road, it's a good opportunity to solve the goal! There's still time, this time let those two stupid mages take the lead, and it's my turn to play at the critical moment! Hehe!"
Gao Man said with a smile, not wanting to be happy and sad.
In the Night Manor, the bronze mage Chris, who had been studying the three alchemy puppets, suddenly seemed to sense something, and looked up at the sky.
Goldman, who was in his room, heard a pop as if an egg was cracking and liquid was splashing, and then his mental power was traumatized again, and his face turned slightly pale at that time.
"Damn mage, I didn't expect that little mage manor would have invited a powerful mage to sit in the town, I was naturally not afraid in my heyday, even if there is a silver demon now, at most I can only have a draw, fortunately I didn't rush to go yesterday, otherwise I'm afraid I would have confessed there!"
The thought of the sorcerer scared me, and he cursed the mage loudly in the room.
At this time in the manor, after using a mental puncture to destroy the eye that was being monitored overhead, Chris touched his itchy nose and once again devoted himself to the study of the puppet.
After swearing and venting his frustration in the past few days, the sorcerer Gorman immediately handed over the news of the target to the Black Knight Brotherhood spies who lived next door and passed it on through the letter bird. Then he set off alone, and hurried to the direction of Boulder City.
Soon after, a carriage came out of the gate of Boulder City, and unlike other normal travelers, after leaving the city gate, this carriage did not follow the route to Hongfeng Town, the only human town in the north of the city, but took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and turned to the uninhabited wilderness area in the north of the city.
After a meal, the carriage stopped in a clearing, and two sneaky men with their cloaks were dismounted, and then the carriage turned around and returned to Boulder City.
This is the gateway from the Wilderness Forest to Boulder City, and the other directions are dense wooded fields that are difficult for horses and pedestrians to pass. If anyone wanted to get to Boulder City from the two directions of Red Maple Town and Night Manor, this would be the only exit from the back path except for the one that had been opened many years ago.
Half an hour passed, and just when the two cloaked guys were already impatiently waiting, a group of three horsemen arrived from the northwest direction.
Seeing the two masked men unsurprisingly guarding the exit of the wilderness forest to block the way, Donald secretly said in his heart that the fish had been hooked, and then decisively stopped and dismounted before the clearing.
"Clinton, you protect Eric, you can't intervene in such a battle, Eric, you stay here obediently, watch how I fight the enemy!"
Instructed Clinton to take care of Eric, Donald stepped forward alone to face two enemies in his way.
Although his face was covered, Donald recognized his identity from the wooden staff in the other party's hand.
"Isn't this the respected Snow Mage? Then this one must be Master Naron, I knew that there would be a mage to deal with me, but I didn't expect it to be the two of you, haven't you learned the lesson of the last time, thinking that the two of you together will be my opponent?"
What Donald meant was that the two of them were obviously not enough to deal with themselves.
The Snow Mage and Naron were furious when they heard this, but they really didn't have complete confidence in dealing with Donald on their own.
Now that they were recognized, the two mages simply took off their cloaks generously, so as not to hinder the battle later.
"When death is imminent, you can only talk about it, there is no complete certainty that we dare to besiege you little brute at the risk of being discovered by that old fellow of Messer, Mr. Goldman, this is the perfect place to be buried, please take action!"
As soon as the Snow Mage's resentful words fell, he saw three terrifying-looking demons emerge from the woodlands on both sides.
I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to describe it as walking, because two of the demons are giant wolves walking on four paws, except for their size and claws, they are completely similar to wolves, the only difference is that their fur is blue and red, and their claws are more vicious.
Having carefully read books about common abyssal creatures in the clubhouse's collection, Donald knew that these two wolf-shaped demons were the more common dog demons in the abyss. Inudemons are wolf-like demons that can take the form of wolves or goblins. Its true form is more like a hybrid of a goblin and a wolf with a terrifying jaw and sharp claws.
When it is a juvenile, it is basically indistinguishable from a wolf, and as an adult, it will begin to grow larger and stronger, and its skin will darken to bluish-red, and eventually turn completely blue.
Looking at the appearance of these two dog demons, it is clear that they are already adults, and the young dog demons are generally the strength of the early bronze stage, and once they become adults, they will be promoted to a small rank. The two bronze mid-section demons could be said to be very tricky, but Donald's eyes were mostly focused on the one who walked out of them.
It was an elongated, humanoid creature with blood-red skin and a pair of degenerate, bony wings on its back, and its body was burned with flames, the color of which was constantly changing, making it appear as if it were translucent.
"It's actually the Fire Burning Demon, and you really can afford to look down on me with such a big move! Why are there just a few of you? Is that sorcerer hiding in the shadows and not daring to make a move?"
