Led by Harlot, the group fled to the hidden valley, and the garrison caught up. Almost as soon as they entered, the other party also chased Taniguchi.

The valley was sandwiched between two towering mountains, and the only way to access the valley was a narrow canyon that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since it was a makeshift camp for the bandits, there were also several simple wooden houses inside.

I don't know whether it was because I was afraid that Freddy was in their hands, or because the situation was unknown, I didn't dare to enter rashly, but the garrison stopped when it caught up with the valley and began to set up a camp for a siege.

After several robbers were reluctantly arranged to serve as guards at the mouth of the canyon, the group finally settled down.

After being put down by Rickett, Saoirse said angrily, "Rude fellow, have you also been infected by him? Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

"I'm sorry, it's urgent, but I'm also thinking about you. Rickett bowed his head.

"I've said it all, the city lord will never betray my father, everything is that guy is doing ghosts! If you want to hide in this kind of ghost place, you can hide yourself, I'm going out. Saoirse said, walking straight out.

"County Lord, calm down..."Rickett hurriedly stopped.

At this time, I suddenly heard Raymond say lazily: "Miss, don't you understand at this time? Those guys are here to kill you, and we are the poor people who are implicated." ”

"If you really don't believe me, you can go out and give it a try. With that, Raymond turned to the side and made a "please" gesture.

Looking at Raymond's annoying smile, Saoirse hesitated, but finally snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Rickett breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Raymond gratefully: "Thank you, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened." ”

Raymond shook his head: "I just thought of it by luck." Now that I think about it, the timing of those people was very clever, and it was really hard to guard against. ”

At this time, Harlot approached: "I said, I have brought you here." Now you can tell me, even the garrison is here, why are you running for your life?"

Raymond said: "It would be nice if it was really reinforcements, but unfortunately, those guys are likely to not even let us go." ”

Harlot said incredulously, "Why? We'll forget it, you saved that girl." ”

Raymond spread his hands: "Because, those people are not here to save people at all." ”

"Wait, what do you mean by that?" said Harlot, stunned, "They're not here to save people, but they're here to kill people?"

At this time, Rickett said: "On the way to the valley, I thought about the things before and after, and I had a rough guess. ”

"Actually, to put it bluntly, this matter is very simple, it is the continuous application of two strategies. The planners of this attack entrusted the bandit group to attack the convoy with their hands, and then sent a garrison to finish it off, in order to kill people. As for whether it's you or us, it doesn't really matter, because the other side doesn't intend to keep anyone alive at all. ”

"Therefore, we who were inexplicably involved are the most unlucky. Raymond said helplessly.

In fact, according to Rickett, this is just a simple serial scheme, which are "borrowing a knife to kill people" and "killing people to kill people". It's just that the other party actually dispatched a garrison in order to extinguish the mouth, this trick has a rather deceptive surname, and everyone is in the game, and they didn't have time to think about it until they fled to the valley, so they didn't react until now.

I have to say that simple strategies are often very effective, but unfortunately I met Raymond, and I was disrupted twice, and the murderer was not killed, and the person who killed the mouth was not destroyed, which was really extremely depressing. Otherwise, perhaps Rickett and Harlot would have been dead by now.

"I have a question. Harlot raised his hand very "studiously": "If you are afraid that we will leak the news, so you kill people, then why don't you do it yourself in the first place, wouldn't it be more convenient?"

"I think it's probably to achieve some effect, such as an 'accident' like being robbed by a thief and dying," Rikitt said. Because although this situation can be faked after the fact, how can it be compared to having a group of thieves actually attack? ”

"You... You mean to say—" Harlot said in a trembling voice.

Rikkett nodded: "Unfortunately, from beginning to end, your role is probably to scapegoat the scene of the accident, and the corpse as evidence." ”

As he spoke, he said to Freddy, who had been paying attention to the three of them, "Am I right, Mr. Freddy?"

Freddie sneered: "I thought this operation was very simple, but I didn't know that there were frequent accidents, it seems that I was really careless." Especially you. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Raymond: "I originally thought that you were adventurers who could be bought with money at will, and when the time comes, even if you are killed on the spot, those two orcs will be able to confuse the line of sight and ensure that my plan is foolproof." Who knows... Boy, you've really made me very thorough this time. ”

Raymond shrugged: "It's easy to say, in fact, if you hadn't given such a generous deposit, I wouldn't have been interested." ”

"Whoa, whoa, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Suddenly, Harlot, who became more and more depressed the more he thought about it, drew his sword and slashed at Freddie.

Rickett hurriedly pulled him back: "Wait a minute, there is still a really important thing that has not been clarified." ”

"What's the matter? If you want me to say that it is easiest to split him directly. Harlot said hatefully.

Rikitt said: "Saoirse's status as a county lord is extraordinary, and no one will want to kill her for no reason. Freddie's carefully set up game, I'm afraid there is a purpose behind it that we don't know. ”

"It's just that there is so little information that I can refer to that I can't guess it yet. With that, Rickett said to Freddy, "I wonder if Mr. Freddie has any hints?"

In such a situation, Freddie even had time to clap his hands: "Mr. Rickett's analysis is really wonderful, with your talent, it is hard to imagine that you are just a little assistant to the city lord." ”

After a pause, Rickett suddenly said, "I'm not a nobleman. ”

"Oh, I see. Freddie suddenly smiled at him with a self-deprecating smile: "Interesting, neither am I." ”

Then, he looked at Raymond and Harlot: "If that's right, you two are just civilians." ”

"So what?" said Harlot, not to be outdone, with a puffed chest.

Raymond was noncommittal, although he had the status of a prince, when he left the Northern Wasteland, he had already given up, so it was understandable to say so.

Freddie shook his head, "No, I just felt it." ”

"So, which nobleman do you work for?" asked Rikitt again.

Freddy shook his head with a sigh: "It seems that you haven't understood that in the country of Dinar, some things can never be controlled by civilians. Therefore, who I am doing things for, and what the purpose is, you still don't want to know, sometimes I die in a daze, but I am happier. ”

"What do you say? Don't look at your own condition, it's not sure who will die first. Harlot raised his sword again.

Freddie, however, seemed to think that the three of them would surely die, and he leisurely sat down on the stone behind him: "Then we'll see." ”

"It's strange, why is that weird guy so sure. Rickett pulled the two aside.

Moreover, in the current situation, he is not panicked at all, and seems to be very sure that he will be able to get out. Raymond also wondered.

Harlot waved the sword in his hand: "If you want me to say, just stomp his foot, I don't believe that he can still give birth to wings and fly away." ”

"Is there any other road in this valley?" asked Rikitt suddenly.

Harlot shook his head, "It's surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there's no other way than that canyon." ”

"In other words, although we are safe for the time being, we are also stuck here. Rickett said.

Raymond looked up at the sky: "I'll talk about this later, everyone is tired, let's have a good night's rest first, and then find a way to get out." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Baste and pointed at Freddie, "Watch that guy, maybe something will happen tonight." ”

Then, he whispered, "Also, tell Luz to be careful of those robbers taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Although they are now in the same boat, they have killed many of them, and Raymond is not so naïve as to think that these robbers will really have the same heart as him. Given the opportunity, those guys will probably not hesitate to turn against each other.

"Don't worry, young master, just leave it to me. Baste patted her chest and reassured.

In the entire valley, I'm afraid she is the only one who doesn't take the current situation to heart at all.

After a short time, people who had been tired for the day began to scatter in the valley to rest. The only wooden houses remained, one for Saoirse to live in, and one for Freddy's imprisonment.

Due to the current foreign enemy, the people forgot about each other's hatred for a while, and as the sunlight shining into the valley gradually decreased, the snoring of the whole valley gradually fell silent.
