980. Ambush
Before the rebels could celebrate the victory at Takkale, the Third Legion of the Lords' Army had already settled in the town of Bansk on the Gamp plane.
The lord army then launched a clearance operation in the rebel-occupied area east of the town of Bansk.
Surdak didn't expect the situation on the Gampoo plane to deteriorate so quickly, and thought that after Lord McDonnell was captured, the MacDonnell family would be in chaos, at least in the last few months, and the sons of Lord McDonnell would be in trouble over the issue of inheritance.
What is surprising is that it is precisely because of the arrest operation launched by the Bena Provincial House of Representatives that the McDonnell family's original troublesome issue of the first in line of succession has been temporarily shelved for the first time.
Now Lord MacDonnell's three sons each led an army and began to quell the chaos on the Gampoo plane.
……
Samira bit a dagger in her mouth, her body almost parallel to the ground, and she ran quickly through the grass.
The moment she stepped into the forest, her figure disappeared into the shadows of the jungle, and she climbed a large tree with her hands and feet......
It is not easy to find out the hidden sentinel in the jungle, which requires the hunters to have strong insight, as well as enough patience and reasoning skills, but these are not so important to Samira, after she was promoted to the second rank powerhouse, her five senses have been much more than ordinary people.
She could hear the rustle of the wind through the treetops, the slightest murmur of the river, and she could even hear the breathing of people nearby.
Those pale red eyes are also very sharp, and when she is running rapidly, the things in her field of vision will be extremely clear.
She scurried from one tree to another, with only a little wind in the canopy.
Holding his breath, he quieted himself down, his senses spreading all around.
"Poof...... Puff ...... Poof! ”
She felt a strong heartbeat nearby, and Samira threw herself on a mound full of fallen leaves, and a hand reached into the pile of rotting leaves, and the hand touched the hard leather armor, and the sentry hiding in the rotten leaf soil jumped violently.
The moment the body rose into the air, the dagger in Samira's mouth had already slit the sentry's throat.
Blood spurted from the sentinel's neck and spilled through the woodland.
Finding a sentry hidden in the woods, Samira did not stop, but continued to grope her way forward.
……
In the leafy canopy, a sentry of the Third Legion of the Lord's Army crouched on a horizontal branch.
Judging by the sounds of fighting and screaming in the woodland, it is clear that there is an assassin type who has entered the wooded area, and it is clear that he should be a hunter of the rebels.
Several of his companions had already been killed, and the sentries did not climb out and had no intention of fleeing.
He knew that the other party was a master, and that if he left this secret place rashly, he would surely become one of the hunter's prey, and he crouched on the branches of the trees, and breathed very slowly, even exhaling and inhaling with the same frequency as the undulation of the canopy.
He imagines himself as part of the trees......
He was lying on his stomach in the thick canopy.
A pair of slender and delicate hands quietly stretched out from the back of his neck, and the palms of the hands flipped up, and a short dagger appeared in his hands.
At the moment when the sentry was aware, the black dagger had already slit his throat.
He struggled to cover the wound on his neck with his hands.
He found himself unable to shout......
He wanted to struggle, even if he fell from the top of a tree, and would give his companions a warning, but he couldn't!
In desperation, he even wanted to look back at the hunter, but at the moment he turned around, a vine struck him in the neck, and his body suddenly fell from the tree.
He felt a sense of relief, but then the vines around his neck tightened his neck, and he was suspended into the air.
The blood gushing from his neck had stained him red, and his hands were clutching the vine ropes weakly......
The cold hit little by little.
There was darkness in front of me......
……
When Samira walked out of the woodland, all three of the lords' sentries in the woods had died in the woodland.
She returned to Surdak's side and turned on her horse.
This is the fifth time that the secret sentry guarding the fork in the road has been cleared, and they are all ordinary soldiers, and the daggers in their hands are stained with blood, which makes Samira feel a little uncomfortable.
"Otherwise, when we encounter this kind of dark whistle, we will rush over directly, so as not to lose time?"
Samira may have been a little soft in killing, stabbing ordinary soldiers, and that kind of hierarchical suppression made her feel an inexplicable burden in her heart.
Surdak was noncommittal and said to Dennis, "Let's go!" ”
This is just the border of the town of Bansk, a mountain that was once the territory of the rebels and is now dotted with outposts of the lord's army.
With a shake of the reins, Dennis rushed out of the woods and down the mountain trail toward a valley.
She had a bad feeling that this place was already occupied by the lord army, and that the rebel camp was in jeopardy.
Seeing the green smoke rising from behind the mountains, her breathing became a little short.
Rush down the mountain road into a valley full of dead silence.
The ground was covered with ashes, the camp was gone, the wooden walls, the treehouses, and even the entire woodland had been reduced to ashes.
Even the fires in the woodlands were almost completely extinguished, and only faint green smoke could still emerge from the roots of some trees.
Some of the charred corpses had not yet had time to be cleaned up, there was a faint smell of protein baking in the air, Dennis urged the horses forward, there seemed to be a scuffle here, but the battlefield had been cleaned up, and not a single corpse of the lord army could be found.
The rebel fighters lay in the woods, their bodies charred and shrunk much smaller.
And some charred corpses of old people, women and children.
"How can this be ......"
Dennis was a little flustered for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"Dennis, are there any other camps nearby, let's go check out the other camps......" Surdak reminded him.
Dennis came to his senses, she was a postman, and she had an important letter to the captain of the camp here, which had been razed to the ground by the rebels, so she had to check out the other camps.
Without saying a word, she tugged at the reins of the Guborian horse, turned the horse's head and ran towards the other side of the pass.
Surdak and Samira and Gulit were close behind.
……
Ahead was the exit of the mountain, and Dennis was like mad urging the Guboren horse to run forward as fast as he could, and the horse was so tired that the corners of his mouth and nostrils were foaming at the mouth.
She turned a deaf ear to Surdak's words of stop, and her mind was full of thoughts about rushing to the next camp.
Surdak followed, and several attempts were unsuccessful in dissuading him.
If you continue to run like this, a few Gubolai horses will run away.
However, Dennis's body was light, and the war horse ran in the front, and Surdak's horse was a little unable to keep up, and he shouted to the two-headed ogre beside him: "Gulitham, go and hold her, we should rest!" ”
The two-headed ogre was also a little dry-mouthed, and when he heard Surdak say this, he immediately increased his pace and soon chased after Dennis.
Before the two-headed ogre could reach out and grab the reins of the Guborai horse, a series of arrows suddenly shot out from the trees next to him.
Judging by the density of the rain of arrows, Surdak knew that his group had been ambushed.
The two-headed ogre's good brother Brainflower released the ice armor for the first time, the ogre's body was covered with frost, he pulled the reins with one hand, and blocked his face with the other, protecting Dennis on horseback.
The reins of the Guborian horse were grabbed by the ogre with one hand, and the body fell forward violently, and the ogre quickly scooped Dennis up from the air, and the horse fell out in great misery.
A rain of arrows flew in, striking the two-headed ogre's ice armor with a series of clanging sounds.
Surdak was also the first to raise his shield, blocking the rain of arrows while pulling the reins.
Samira and Thea's Guborama fell behind, and Surda caught Guborima, and they caught up in an instant, just as the arrows rained down, and Surdak raised his shield to block the arrows for the two women.
Just to lose weight for the Guboraima, Surdak was not wearing a demonic pattern, and an arrow grazed his shoulder, leaving a blood groove in his arrow......
Samira was furious, and the phantom of the Great Elf Windrunner behind her appeared, and the magic crystal on the Heavenly Strike Bow was suddenly shattered......
