Chapter 178: The Bandit Suppression Mission, Begins
It wasn't until Albert and Barrett's backs disappeared into the hall that Baron Jasmine withdrew his gaze. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and on his face, a strange smile appeared.
"You're doing a good job. ”
At this moment, a low and cold voice sounded, and a black-robed figure walked through the shadows.
"Praise you, Your Excellency the Earl. Baron Jasmine knelt on the ground regardless of his image, without the slightest aristocratic appearance. "It's your credit, I'm just doing what you say. But I'm curious why you're dealing with Albert, a little bastard who just came out of nowhere to be your opponent. ”
"I hate people who talk a lot. The black-robed man said in a deep voice, his voice full of displeasure.
"I beg your pardon, my Excellency the Earl, that I was abrupt. Baron Jasmine's slightly raised head lowered again, clinging to the ground, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Don't worry, I won't blame you. The black-robed man's tone softened, "As long as you are loyal to me, the boiling blood toxin in your body will never attack, and you can still enjoy the happiness of eternal life." At this, he suddenly became stern again, "But if you dare to make a small move in private, Baron Peacock Grass in Pigtown is your role model, and the reason why he has become a beast that knows nothing but killing is because he is trying to expose me." ”
"Your Excellency, I am your most faithful servant. Baron Jasmine said hurriedly, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks, and his face turned pale.
The black-robed man nodded, "It's time for me to go." With that, he stepped into the shadows again.

The next morning, the sun god awakened the sleeping earth.
After a night of rapid travel, Albert led the Dawning mercenary group to the deserted mountain area. And at this time. The scout squad, led by Boris and Charlotte, also returned. Tell everyone about the deployment of troops in the mountains.
"There are 103 secret posts on this mountain. Of course, there may be something we don't know. Charlotte took a rare moment of seriousness, spreading out the map she had drawn, "and this," she said, pointing to a large area, "it should be a barracks, with at least 500 bandits, and very well defended. Apparently the robbers had formal military training. ”
"Where's their home base?" Albert couldn't help but ask, not on the map.
"Sorry, we didn't find it. Boris began, "Why don't you startle the snake, we didn't do anything to anyone." ”
"Then pull out that barracks first. Albert said.
"Of course, my dear regimental commander, but a frontal attack may not work. Charlotte shook her head, "The barracks is as strong as a fortress, and the walls made of wood and earth are ten meters high, if you storm it." None of our people can resist a round. Oh, yes. There are also twenty arrow towers. If you don't want your head to bloom, kid. ”
"We can sneak attack. Albert said without thinking, pointing to a relatively weakly defended part of the map, "You, me, Boris, and Catherine sneaked in from here to create chaos inside, and it is best to deal with the leader of the barracks first." Then Joanna, Bavin, Barrett, Duncan, and Dodom rushed in from the front with a large force. No amount of well-trained troops can resist a sudden attack, can they? ”
"Damn little bitch, if you call me Miss Poison Tongue again, I'll cut out your tongue, I'm not kidding. Charlotte gritted her teeth and glared at Albert, "What are you waiting for?
With that, Charlotte took advantage of the cover of twilight and swept towards the mountain.
"My brother, you speak my mind. Boris whispered, casting a grateful glance at Albert, and then followed, followed by Albert and Catherine.
"Be careful. ”
Joanna said silently, even though she knew that the task was much easier than the one against the vampire, she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Let's go, Joanna. Barrett said, leading the mercenary group up the mountain from the other direction.

Moments later, the sneak attack team arrived at the bandits' barracks.
The worst of the four were all five-star martial artists, and those dark sentinels were almost useless to them.
Albert set his sights on Catherine, the real scout, and she knew what to do.
And Catherine did not disappoint, she did not speak, lay straight on the ground, and began to roll around in spite of her image, until her body and face were covered with weeds with mud, and she got up and climbed up the wall.
The other three were shocked and followed suit and lay on the ground.
Coming to the top of the city wall, everyone took advantage of the patrolling guards to turn around and ghostly climbed down the city wall. The height of ten meters is no different from ten centimeters for a powerful warrior.
"Split up and find the leader of the barracks. Albert looked around and lowered his voice, "Don't go it alone if you find the target, gather here in ten minutes, with or without gain." He said without question, his gaze sharpened.
With that, Albert was the first to leave.
The barracks was littered with torches, and he had to slow down and get as close to the shadow of the wall as possible.
A moment later, he saw in the distance a young girl with a high-end dinner plate, as if she was heading somewhere. Albert quietly followed almost without hesitation, and experience told him that he could find the leader of the place by following the girl, and that ordinary robbers would not eat on high-end plates.
The young girl walked into a two-story building made of wood, and when it opened, there was a loud noise, which confirmed that a dinner party was being held inside.
However, Albert did not immediately follow, but waited until the girl came out of it before slowly approaching the second-story building.
He skillfully dodged the patrol that was not passing by, while secretly observing the situation inside. As he had guessed, there was indeed a dinner party in the hall on the first floor. However, unlike the banquets of the nobles or wealthy merchants, the men inside were almost always wearing protective gear and carrying weapons, and only the women wore the evening dresses worn to the banquet.
Albert carefully observed everyone at the banquet, trying to figure out who was the leader of the barracks.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar face.
Why is he here? Albert rubbed his eyes, a little incredulous, thinking he was dazzled. But the result is very disappointing, and despite the reluctance to accept this reality, that person is Fregaard.
A well-known aristocratic heir and a respected martial arts genius is in the company of robbers. Albert fell into a brief stupor, still unwilling to accept this cruel truth. Before this, he had always respected Fregaard's person, but he didn't expect that the warm smile was just a false mask. (To be continued.) )
