85. One step late?

"Damn, I didn't expect there to be more than one traitor who reported to Defiya...... "Zhang Lize galloped on his horse, which he bought from a hired farmer, the kind that was about to die of old age, and it cost him ten sons.

Not long ago, he eavesdropped on the gossip of the aunts and learned that Althea decided to deal with the ogre, and then he went to the old pharmacist to inquire clearly, but he didn't expect Zhang Li, who had been shadowed in, to see what the old man was writing, and he began to spy on the old man out of curiosity, and it turned out that the old man was a traitor of Defiya, or an intelligence provider, and he was collecting all kinds of information every day to pass on to Defiya, until he was caught by Zhang Li that night.

Zhang Li, as a "former bad guy who wants to justify his name", caught the traitor, of course, he was directly arrested and prepared to send it to the official personnel, but the old man shook out a lot of information in order to survive, Zhang Li then knew that he was far more than the one who supplied intelligence to Defia in the village, and the old man alone knew that there was also the fat aunt who talked about it with people during the day, and he didn't know how many other hidden traitors there were, but he knew that the way they transmitted information was all different.

The old man begged Zhang Li to forgive him, after all, in this troubled world, everyone will work hard to live, even if they will do something that is worthy of their conscience.

So Zhang Li could only tie him up for the time being, and run out to solve this matter by himself, he had a hunch that this time the night watchman's plan to lure the enemy deeper would definitely fail, although Defiya and the ogre are not necessarily in the same camp, but Defia will definitely use this matter to do something.

And he, the "great assassin who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light", could try his luck there at this time, and it would be great if he could be officially accepted for this.

But what Zhang Li didn't know was that even if there was no traitor in the village to send the news, Difia would still know about it, and these people who were used to living in the shadows could say that they would place the dark chess wherever they went, which had become an instinctive move.

Althea has mobilized more than 3,000 Night's Watch troops, and such a big move can't hide from the eyes of anyone who cares.

..................

Once upon a time, the Eberlock family, as a super nobleman who controlled this land, was only under the power of the Storm Royals, and the number of troops under their command was tens of thousands, but now, for various reasons, those free mercenaries are no longer willing to accept the renewal of the contract, and a large number of people have left here, and the total number of troops of the Eberlock family is now only about 10,000 people.

The 10,000 men were divided into two parts, one was the garrison under the command of General Sorigal, a garrison loyal to the Eberlock family, who was responsible for the defense of the towns, villages, and farms of the Twilight Forest, and the other was Althea's Night's Watch.

The garrison cannot be easily mobilized, without them to maintain order, the entire Twilight Forest will become a mess, and the Twilight Forest is very large, and there are many places to guard, and there is not much left of their manpower to disperse, and even many places they can't take care of.

Therefore, this unit Althea cannot be mobilized, and all she can mobilize is this motley army of various retired veterans and adventurers under her command.

There are only four thousand people in total, and a considerable number of warriors are wearing tattered leather clothes and holding rudimentary weapons, and the ogres in Vorgur Mountain, their number is no less than three thousand, which is why Duke Eberlock has always allowed the ogres to sit in one place and do nothing, if they want to defeat this group of ogres head-on, they need at least 10,000 people, that is, all the troops are mobilized, such a risk is too great, he does not dare.

For several years, the members of the Nightshade Council have been trying to seek the help of the Stormwind army, but due to the chaos of some guys, no one has paid attention to them, which is why Althea has decided to form a Night's Watch army to protect herself.

She had been planning to attack Vaugur for a long time, and she wanted to delay it a little longer, until she gave her warriors a batch of better equipment before attacking, but recently due to the large influx of Defia bandits, Althea felt that she could not delay any longer, otherwise she would have to face two terrible enemies at the same time, so today, she secretly took her men into action.

"Everyone will act like a little bit for a while, don't show your flaws. The Jordanian captain, who was in charge of the bait, whispered to his companions, their group of only three hundred people looked like an ordinary food transport team, they were driving the wagon, which seemed to be full of all kinds of fresh meat and fruit, but in fact, the outer layer was food, and the inside was full of straw.

They use this tactic to lure ogres.

"Don't worry, Captain, we've rehearsed so many times that we'll definitely leave the ogre with a panicked ass when the time comes. "After all, they were running on the ogre's back.

Soon a group of ogres spotted them, and they killed them, but deliberately let two of them go to report the news, and soon a large group of ogres were brought in, and in a hurry they couldn't count how many they had attracted, but it seemed that there were more than a thousand.

"Very well! let's get out of here!" Jordan felt almost halfway through, so he gave the order to retreat, and the ogre gave the order to retreat, and the ogre gave hot pursuit.

Then they ran to the trap as expected, and in order to create an illusion for the ogre, they would run over the trap, and there were many wooden beams in the trap, and on top of it were pieces of planks, and the planks were covered with a layer of soil and planted with grass, and the planks were very strong, and if the live buckles were not loosened, the planks would not collapse even if three or four people stood on them, and as long as the live buckles were loosened, these planks would instantly cause a chain reaction, and one after another would fall, and the ogre would fall into the deep pit.

Everything was going according to their plan, Jordan's team ran smoothly to the trap, as long as they ran through here, they basically succeeded, Jordan was nervous and almost out of breath, and then suddenly, out of his eyes, he saw something strange, those who had stayed in the position of the loose button had fallen to the ground for some reason, and in their place were some people wearing black tights and red masks...... Defia thieves?

When the "......" saw them, Jordan stopped running, and he was dumbfounded, and stood in place, stunned, staring at the robbers who suddenly appeared in Defiya.

One by one, the younger brothers around him ran past him, some of them were calling out to him, but he couldn't hear them at all, he could only see the cold eyes of the Defia bandits, which seemed to laugh at them, he seemed to see them pull the mechanism, and then from the outermost outer, the planks fell one after another......
