A few people were resting at Hans's house, and Amanda introduced Hans to the two men, one was Jacieu Sanz, the knight captain of the regular French army, and the young soldier was Jassi's squire, Eddie Dane, who was only 19 years old. Originally, this team was not supposed to take Sheila, but when Amanda was about to send Sheila back to Franco, she suddenly received news of thieves on the way, and at Sheila's strong request, she had to bring her to help.

Now it seems that the number of this gang of thieves is quite large, when they came, there were twelve people, and two were killed by Jie Xiu, and ten people ran away. And according to the news, they have at least two magicians, that is to say, one magician did not come, it is likely that they stayed in their lair to guard, and there should be several thieves guarding the lair, so their team of thieves is at least more than 20 people.

Although the strength of the few of them is very strong, it is still more dangerous to rush to the thief's lair, and it can be seen just now that the thief magician and the swordsman who kidnapped the peasant woman are not weak, so they have to think about it in the long run.

Jassiu, Eddie, and Amanda are debating what to do, and Sheila is there to take care of Hans, still feeling guilty. If it weren't for her inexperience in the face of the enemy, Hans might have been able to sneak up on the attack without getting hurt.

Originally, Hans didn't want Sheila to help wash the scars on his body, but Amanda yelled: "A big man is awkward." After that, there were no more objections.

It turned out that most of the army of Farland City was sent to the town of Yatley to garrison the border, except for the soldiers who stayed in the city, there were indeed not many people who could use it, and only a few people were sent to track down the thieves this time.

Hans listened to them talk as he walked, and suddenly something occurred to him, and then said, "They know that the hunters in our village are coming up the mountain, so it is very likely that they know that you have no other reinforcements, and if they return to the lair and the Banqi men come over, can we deal with it?"

Hans's words made them all suddenly realize that this was indeed a problem. If the thieves don't give up and come prepared again, it is indeed very difficult for only a few of them to protect the people in the village.

After a while, Eddie slapped the table and stood up and said, "Captain, I'll go out and explore, lest they be caught off guard if they want to kill them." We don't know exactly where their lair is, but there are only two ways back here, one to Desa and the other to Fran, and I suspect they must have turned into some wooded path on the way to Dessa. ”

Jie Xiu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you have to be careful, don't clash with them, and come back immediately if you find any movement." Ride my horse. ”

After saying that, Eddie turned around and was about to go out, when suddenly Amanda shouted: "Wait, the thieves will come back even if they come back soon, Eddie, you better go to Desa Town and call Instructor Botu, and our chances of winning with one more helper are a little higher." ”

Sheila also said: "Either I will go back to the city of Fran and find some people to help, and if I can counterattack their lair, I can still fight for the initiative." ”

Amanda said: "No, in the past few days, Fran City has specially increased the defense liliang, Fran City's current defense liliang can not be less, in case Jelin directly attacks Fran City from the waterway, it will be dangerous, although this possibility is not big, but the guards of the royal city must be the first, there can be no mistakes." Besides, can you still come out when you go back?"

However, Sheila still said firmly: "I still have to go, whether they can send someone out or not, it is up to them to decide." If no one can come, I can bring some gear with me. ”

At this time, Jie Xiu said: "How can you do a girl in the middle of the night, it is better for me to go back." ”

Sheila was about to say something, but Amanda interjected, "You two go together, come back quickly, I'll be here for a while." ”

Jie Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's come back as soon as possible." Sheila, let's go. ”

Before leaving, Sheila said to Hans: "I'll go back to the city first, I'll be here in a while, you remember not to move, Instructor Amanda will help if you have something." ”

Hans could only nod helplessly and watch them leave.

As soon as they left, Amanda said to Hans, "You're all right here alone for the time being, and I'll go out and see what is going on." ”

Hans said, "Instructor Amanda, if the thieves are likely to come again, can we set up the battlefield in the middle of the road, because the rest of the villagers are basically not able to fight, and if we start a war here, it will be affected, and we will be tied to each other, and we will not be able to use some powerful magic." ”

Amanda also agreed with Hans's considerations and decided to take the approach of a half-way ambush.

Before leaving, she taught Hans how to use a healing technique, telling him that it would be much easier to heal the injuries in her body.

When he was left alone, Hans sighed and began to learn the healing magic that belonged to the element of life. It is also possible to learn magic without physical movement, as long as the magic in the body is controlled during meditation.

Then, he began to try to heal the magic according to the method, and then focused on the injured place in his chest, and sure enough, under the effect of the magic, the place where the broken bone began to itch a little, Hans knew that this should work, but after only a while, the mana he had was consumed, and he could only use the method of absorbing mana again to slowly replenish it.

I don't know how long it took, but the tired Hans fell asleep unconsciously.

......

On the other side, Eddie finds Potu, and the two work together to search for the path the thieves have taken. On the way, Eddie lights a wand for illumination, looking for the horseshoe prints of the thieves, and it turns out that he is also a warrior who can use magic. Coupled with Porto's experience, they quickly found a way to a hill.

Before going up the mountain, Potu said: "There is no more lighting here, there may be a thief's sentry nearby, so we put our horses aside and find a place to go up the mountain." ”

With yes, the two went up the mountain in the dark all the way to the top of the mountain. Seeing a valley, some fires could be faintly seen under the valley, and it seemed that this was indeed a thief's nest. But they didn't dare to mess around, and they didn't know if there were other thieves on the hill who were keeping guard, so they had to quietly go down the mountain in the dark, and then go directly in the direction of the village of Modo, where Eddie stayed as a sentry on a large road that could be mounted at any time, while Portu went directly to the village of Modo.

Halfway through, Potu met Amanda who was in ambush and told her that the location of the thieves' lair had been determined, and that if Jaxiu and the others returned, they could consider attacking them directly.

Now that Amanda had set up a magic circle here, Potu went back and called Eddie over.

After waiting for a while, someone finally arrived on the road, and it was three horses, and it was none other than Jassi, Sheila, and another young woman dressed as an assassin. Under Sheila's introduction, everyone knew this person, and it turned out that she was an entourage who followed Sheila's mother, and her name was Belinda. Sheila came home and told her mom what had happened, and then she sent this man.

The few of them discussed, and since the thieves did not come, they went over to surprise them. Now there is a team of six people, and Sheila's mother can send Belinda out, she must have her advantages, otherwise she would not be willing to risk her 15-year-old daughter outside. If you can sneak attack, it is not impossible to destroy the enemy nest.

After discussion, Sheila went back to the village of Modo before leaving, and saw that there was an extra villager in Hans's house, and after asking, she found out that this was the husband of the village woman whom Hans had rescued, and he went to Hans's house and found him asleep, so he waited here.

Sheila was relieved to see that someone was there, and just hung a pendant with a small piece of iron tied with a rope on Hans's body, and left.
