Chapter 152: Guest
The sun was strong and scorching after noon, and Leon was not afraid of the heat at all, but as the carriage rose and fell, the saying "full and sleepy" came into play.
His eyelids began to heavily, but Leon held on to his sleepiness, recalling the scene when he had just come into this world and was hunted down by three traitors in the wolf's kiss forest.
The butler Zhuo Ning has been asking his grandfather Darren Campbell Redfield where his secret room is, and the minor nobleman Leon at that time endured physical pain in order to protect the last secret of the family, and finally died at the hands of the other party.
Chamber......
When these two words appeared in his mind again, they were immediately infinitely expanded, and Leon's sleepiness also lightened, and he immediately sat up.
In the past, the secret room was selectively ignored because there was no hope of returning, but now it seems that this is one of the first tasks after going back, and those people should not have thought that the secret room is not in the castle at all, or even in the manor outside.
My grandfather lived in a small town east of Campbell when he was a child, and left there after joining the army, until he was finally made an earl after decades of war, and he has lived in Campbell since he was granted the land, so almost no one knows about the place where he lived when he was a child, but the old earl has always kept the old house in the town, and he has secretly found someone to take care of it.
There was a basement under the old house, and the secret room was in the basement, a secret known only to his grandfather Darren, his father Brooke, and himself, and the two elders strictly forbade him to divulge it to anyone.
Sometimes the old earl would go back to live for a few days when he was in a good mood or when he was in a bad mood, although he tried to avoid letting others know, but after a lot of times, Zhuo Ning, who was a housekeeper, would definitely find some clues, so he caught up with Li Ang at the end and asked him about the location of the secret room.
There must be some trophies of his grandfather's war for decades in the secret room, even if there are only one or two pieces, maybe they are very good things, and when he thinks of this, Li Ang is so curious that he wants to stand in this secret room immediately.
But those mysterious enemies ruined the Redfield family definitely not for this little secret room, what is their purpose?
Leon couldn't figure it out at all.
However, it also proved that he was actually ignorant of the matter, and if the enemy's massacre in the castle was just a casual one, then his return to Campbell more than two months after the incident was over may not have attracted the attention of those people.
Of course, these are all conjectures in Li Ang, and the actual situation will not be known until the time comes, and Li Ang is ready to build momentum after he goes back this time, at least he has to let Wang Du send someone to protect him out of face problems.
But what is the way to pass guò...... Or what is the way to get through guò?
Leon knew very little about the upper echelons of the Sver Kingdom, so it was a bit difficult.
"Commander Leon, the enemy you need is here. ”
Erin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Leon was taken aback, and immediately looked up, and sure enough, directly south of the Pale Mountain Range, a faint cloud of smoke and dust was rising up.
This seemed to be the smoke and dust produced by the cavalry galloping on the wasteland, and Leon had just been thinking deeply, so he didn't have time to find out in the first place.
It is very abnormal for a cavalry to suddenly appear in this kind of place, the patrol will certainly not be of such a scale, and it will not deviate from the main road, nine times out of ten it is a bandit attack, it seems that they are not uninterested in this convoy, but they have to gather the manpower to find the door together.
He couldn't help but look at the second carriage, which was winding its way so that from this direction he could see the wide window on the side of the carriage, and Irene was sitting by the window, smiling at herself and turning her face back.
"This girl has guessed my purpose," thought Leon, "since Ms. Krystal says that she has great potential, it is not surprising that she has a higher intelligence, but is her perception so high......?"
But now is not the time to study this, Li Ang stood up and said in a loud voice: "There is an enemy due south, the last car stops, and the first and second cars with it as the center are side by side, and the other two cars occupy the east and west sides. ”
At this time, the smoke and dust in the south had begun to be clearly visible, and black dots also appeared on the horizon, quickly coming towards the convoy.
Li Ang estimated that there were about twenty or thirty of these black spots, but this was just what he had just seen, and he didn't know how many were behind.
As expected, he began to issue orders one after another.
"Singel, take the old man and the child who have no combat effectiveness to the safe position next to the material cart in the middle, and the archers go to the roof of the car on both sides according to the position of the left man and the right woman, Se, you stand in the middle, responsible for taking care of both sides. ”
At the moment when the battle was about to begin, Se did not resist Leon's order to resist Leon's order, especially Leon's order to let him take care of the elves of the clan, which was even more of a duty for him.
As for the "malice" hidden in Leon's words, this spirit of this world did not understand it at all.
"Sophia, you are optimistic about them, Jeff, Eric, you two pay attention to the number of arrows of the elves, and you must make up for them at any time. ”
"Master Mentor, please stay on the roof of the car in the middle, as long as we can see you, we will be at ease!"
In front of outsiders, Li Ang took Kaka's face to the sky, so the alchemy master carried out the young leader's order without discounting with a look of great satisfaction.
"Erin and Melissa, you two on the second roof, me and Caterina on the first. ”
"Don't attack yet, listen to my orders, then ......" Li Ang licked the corners of his mouth, "We are ready to meet the enemy!"
That's the full lineup he had now, a full twenty-seven, nine times more than the three who were forced to leave Rock Town in the first place.
This is just quantity, if in terms of quality, although there are a few elves who have no combat power, including Leon himself, there are alchemists above the fourth order who have been assisted by potions, and the third order has the barbarian heroic soul of Sapa, and the second order is even more numerous, Leon, Katerina, Melissa, Erin, and the three adult elves all belong to this list, not to mention that Leon also has the bonus of bloodline power, which can almost crush the melee profession in the second order.
Leon is proud.
He does have proud capital, but it has only been more than two months, and the number and quality of the members around him have increased geometrically, and this scale is close to a regular medium-sized mercenary group!
Therefore, Li Ang is now full of confidence, and is ready to make these unknown bandits on the other side suffer greatly.
After everyone was in position, the attacking cavalry also showed their true colors.
They were a little different from ordinary bandits, not the miscellaneous soldiers who Li Ang had seen before who didn't even have serious equipment and dared to fight desperately with weapons in tattered clothes.
These people are all wearing uniform armor, although the weapons in their hands are varied, but the cold light reflected on them can prove that they are sharp, and their stature is generally very strong, but the mounts are just ordinary horses, and the rush of this section of the road has already spewed out of breath, and it seems that it will be exhausted in a few minutes at most.
But they were within a minute or two of the convoy.
The main thing is the number of robbers, which is almost three times as large as their own!
"That's enough for Ben......" Leon touched his chin, a little surprised by the amount.
But just like he said, with the alchemy master behind, even if he was sleeping soundly, it would give these young people great courage.
Suddenly, a coachman who was hiding between the two cars and secretly looking out exclaimed, "It's the butcher!
Then the coachman fled to the rear.
"What butcher?" repeated Leon suspiciously.
Eric noticed the captain's expression, ran up in a few steps, and explained to Leon what he had seen in the lower city.
The Butchers, one of the largest bandit gangs in the Pale Mountains and the Chaos Lands, often prey on caravans and pedestrians passing through the southern part of the Chaos Lands, and this gang is so brutal that most of their targets are wiped out, leaving no one alive.
Many people have already issued a wanted "butcher" mission through the mercenary union, but the gang boss Gaby is very cunning, never stays in one place for more than a day, and the time of coming out to act is also very irregular, so several mercenary groups that come against them will come to naught every time.
The "Butcher" has been "famous" in the Land of Chaos for half a year, and has been at large, so many caravans have taken a long detour and chosen the path from Gray Town to the Capital of Chaos.
However, this time they actually left the south they were most familiar with and extended their tentacles to this side, and it seemed that they also knew about the changes in the chaotic capital, and thought that they could be more unscrupulous these days.
The bandit group has six powerhouses above the second order, and Gaby, the leader of the group who was originally at the peak level of the second order, is said to have been promoted to the third order half a year ago and became a magic swordsman, and most of the others are also good players in the first order, with this kind of strength, they can indeed run rampant.
"Third-Order Demon Swordsman?" Li Ang suddenly remembered, Zhuo Ning, the former butler who was still "worried" just now, seemed to be such a profession, so coincidental?
Although he knew that the Demon Swordsman must be very powerful, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and looked at the cavalry team that was getting closer and closer, and said secretly: "What do you really want...... I know I'm going back, so why don't you give me a magic swordsman experience first?"
