Everyone deliberately sped up, and did not stop to rest when it was time for dinner at six or seven o'clock in the evening, and rushed forward for another hour. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Finally stopped in the woods of a valley.

The mercenaries lit a bonfire, and Chris got out of the carriage.

This place is far away from the main road, there is a cliff behind the side, the extremely high mountain top needs to look up to barely see, there is no trace of the light of the stars and moon in the night sky, it is dark and gloomy, making people's hearts depressed.

After a hasty meal, Chris did not immediately return to the carriage as usual, Orbis walked five meters behind him - this is the lesson he has learned from many years of communication with magicians, approaching the magician at a distance of more than five meters, may cause some strange magicians to be unhappy, he said cautiously: "My lord, the night is cold, you better go back to the car." ”

Chris didn't respond, and after a while he said, "Orbis!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Have you ever been on an assassination mission?"

Orbis took a step back in shock, bowed his head and said, "The villain doesn't dare!"

"Have you done it?"

"No... There are..."

"Orbis, do you know who I am?"

The mercenary captain sweat trickled down his forehead, and he responded: "The villain doesn't dare to guess secretly. ”

Chris turned his body, looked at Orbis who was bent lower and lower, and said lightly: "I am the son of Lord Kibu, I grew up in the northernmost part of the empire since I was a child, do you know what is the most in that place?"

Orbis did not dare to answer.

“...... I'll answer you - it's a mercenary... It is the closest human settlement to the Warcraft Forest, and countless people, mercenaries like you, have taken risks to hunt Warcraft in the forest in order to obtain high-priced magic crystals. I think you know very well the power of the monsters, a team of ten mercenaries goes in, and when they come out, only half of them are left--this is still lucky. Most people go in and never come out again..."

“... So, there are some mercenaries, they cherish their lives and dare not go into the depths of the forest, so the harvest is very small, but they want to get the magic crystal, what should they do? Orbis, can you tell me?"

“... You don't speak, but I think you understand what I mean, I once heard an old mercenary say: Although the monster is dangerous, as long as you don't go into the depths, at least you won't have to worry about your life, but the most dangerous thing in the forest is people. He also said that most mercenaries had more or less a few lives in their hands. ”

“... You don't have to be so nervous, Orbis, most of the members of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group are active in the south, and you may not be the same as the mercenaries in the north. ”

Orbis breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, my lord. ”

"I'm just trying to confirm that if you want to play against a team like ours, when would you choose to do it?"

Orbis quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thought for a while, and said, "If the number of people is about the same, it's best to do it after the other party falls asleep." ”

Chris shook his head: "What if our strength is far superior to that of the other party?"

Orbis was taken aback, "Then the best time is after the other party has extinguished the bonfire, and the only people who are vigilant at that time are the night watchmen!" he said in a low voice, "You have found the enemy?"

Chris smiled and said, "We walked all the way down the road, and night birds kept flying in the woods on both sides, and they followed us for nearly two kilometers, and they couldn't ride horses in the woods, and the footsteps were so fast, if it weren't for the wind mage, there were only two classes that could do it-"

"Assassins and thieves?"

"I think so, and besides, there must be companions behind them who can't walk to us... Orbis, "

"Your Excellency?"

"I don't think even you would make such a low-level mistake when tracking down your opponents, they are clearly not bandits from the town of Raubiton, nor do they look like seasoned mercenaries. ”

The mercenary captain snorted, "I think they should be family guards." ”

Because most nobles are also lords, depending on the title, the empire allows nobles to have their own guards to deal with territorial disputes and suppress riots, most nobles are not allowed to have more than 500 guards, and low-level nobles are not even allowed to have more than 200 guards, and in the event of a war in the empire, these guards become the last line of defense to protect the nobles' territory.

Orbis knows very well that the talent and level of most people who can become the combat professional of the noble family's escort will definitely not be lower than himself, and now, in his own team, the highest level is himself. And among the opponents, there is probably the most feared assassin.

What's more, the equipment of the nobles' guards is definitely much better than that worn by these poor ghost mercenaries.

My forehead began to sweat again, it was cool, and the night breeze blew, and I couldn't help but feel chills all over my body.

Chris muttered: "It's really a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, the villain's revenge, from morning to night." Hey. ”

Orbis bent down and said, "Please help." ”

He looked up and saw a wicked sneer curling at the corner of his mouth under the hood of the magic robe.

It was very late in the night, and the sound of insects in the woods came and went, and in the distance, the bonfire in the woods was extinguished, and the sudden darkness made the woods quiet, and after a while, the insects began to cry again, and the horses stopped snorting, and the sound of insects became more and more boiling.

There was only one mercenary vigil, and he sat quietly under a tree, looking boredly at the forest in the distance, with the carriage parked in the innermost part, and the other five mercenaries and coachmen lying in a row around the extinguished campfire.

Suddenly, a scream broke the silence of the night.

The Night's Watch immediately rolled forward, then looked back to see a man behind the tree against which he was leaning, dressed in black, with a black scarf wrapped in his face, and a dagger in his right hand, but his feet were pierced by a pillar of stone that rose from the ground.

Assassin!

Then, an arrow slammed into the Assassin's throat, interrupting his screams, splattering the Night's Watch with blood from the wound.

Here we go!

At the sound of the neighing of the horses, all those who seemed to be asleep rolled over and hid behind the trees at the first moment, and no one spoke.

Then, the direction of the carriage suddenly lit up, and another person fell from behind the carriage.

Later, Chris was seen to walk out of the carriage, and the people were about to step forward, but they saw him raise his hand at the assassin who was still writhing on the ground, and another stab from the bottom up, piercing his head with a "poof".

The mercenaries gasped.

Chris muttered in a low voice, "Same feeling as CS." ”

The crowd didn't understand.

Chris looked down at the elemental mass condensed in the palm of his hand, and said with a low smile: "Three assassins, hehe, I feel sorry for you." As soon as the hand was raised, almost instantly, a large tree a few meters away emitted a fire and a loud noise, and a figure ran quickly from behind the tree into the distance, running a few steps and stumbling to the ground.

The mercenaries hurriedly stepped forward to try to surround them, and Chris said in a long voice, "No need!"

Then, another ground stab pierced the Assassin's head.
