Looking at the note in front of him, Higgins suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! There were only four words on the note: The evil wolf is coming! This was handed over to him by his adjutant this morning, and at the same time, the adjutant also indicated that he was a subordinate of the sixth prince.

As one of the important generals of the royal guard, Higgins has long been in the eyes of the princes, and they have also used various connections to hand him olive branches. However, Higgins has always adhered to the idea of loyalty to the emperor Bixia, and adhered to the principle of not refusing, not taking refuge, and not relying on the princes' hospitality. In the current situation that the saint is in good health and there is no one among the princes who can dominate him, the princes have to tolerate Higgins's attitude. Although Higgins's persistence won Belloc's admiration, it still limited the speed of his promotion, otherwise he would have been just a lieutenant in terms of his ability.

But now that the sixth prince has expressed his kindness in this way, Higgins is a little unsure of where to go for a while! Higgins knows very well that the sixth prince will not joke about such a big thing, but if the reminder on the note is true, the sixth prince is too favorable!

Although there were only four words on the note, Higgins could easily tell the meaning of the note: The wolf bandits were coming! He immediately guessed that the location of the wolf bandits' attack must be after he walked out of the Meron Mountains. Higgins had just received a reply from Caroline yesterday that something had happened in the city of Salat and Caroline had determined that she could not make it to the exit of the Meron Mountains to meet them. But before Caroline's reply arrived, three hundred cavalry of the Royal Guard had arrived, and Higgins didn't really value Caroline's assistance very much. If it weren't for this reminder from the six princes, they would have hastily walked out of the Meron Mountains, and that would be tantamount to completely embarking on the road of no return! The six princes not only saved the lives of these people, but also saved his family! If Higgins' mission failed this time, his family would very likely be implicated. Thinking of this, Higgins was in a cold sweat again!

But at this time, it is useless to think too much, and the most important thing is how to deal with the big enemy in front of you - the wolf bandit group. This matter has become the easiest thing for Higgins at the moment, he just glanced at the map, and immediately had a plan in his heart.

Higgins slowed down his march and intensified his reconnaissance of his surroundings. Although he judged that the Wolf Bandits would only move after they left the Meron Mountains, he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest. When the team reached the exit of the Meron Mountains, Higgins unexpectedly stopped the procession and ordered the troops to completely seal off the Meron Mountain Pass and build fortifications on the spot.

"General Higgins, will we stop at this place?" Bilbot really couldn't figure out how desperately Higgins was rushing before, but when he arrived here, he suddenly stopped and asked with an incredulous face.

"Mr. Bilbom, the first two assassinations of the Marquis of Edlaide have been unsuccessful, and if they want to do anything, they will certainly take another way, and that is a massive military attack! Higgins, of course, couldn't have told Bilboom about the note, so he had to find a relatively plausible excuse to prevaricate Bilbohm.

"You're saying there's going to be an army attacking us?" Bilbohm said, surprised.

"Not really! The Royal Guard comes from various units, and they have a certain understanding of the characteristics of each unit, and if the other party really dares to mobilize the army, no matter what kind of disguise they make, they will be immediately recognized by us. At present, there is no general in the Dongyu Empire who dares to do such a thing! I suspect that the other party will bribe the bandit group in this area to attack us. ”

"So what's the use of us waiting here?"

"If you want to ensure the total annihilation of our team, the other side needs to mobilize at least 3,000 troops. Beyond the Meron Mountains were mostly plains, and they were not far from the military towns of Biansai, and the bandit group would never dare to let such a large team stay in this area for a long time. ”

"And during the time we stay here, I will send more scouts to reconnoiter the situation outside the mountain, even if the bandit group really dares to wait outside, as long as we can find their approximate location, we can ask the generals in the border fortress for help. At that time, they couldn't refuse us, as long as they could drive the bandits out of the area, we could continue on our way. ”

"Shall we ask for help now?" Bilbohm, as a magician, was still very new to this matter. Although he had been serving as the defender of the city of Salat, Count Acheson had only used his fame to intimidate the surrounding Shili. Bilbohm was mainly engaged in his magical research, and was rarely involved in the ordinary affairs of the city of Zarat, which led to this somewhat blank question.

"Since the bandit group can survive in this area, they must have an inextricable relationship with these generals! Without solid evidence, they will never send troops to help us!"

"The general seems pretty sure that someone is going to attack us?" Bilbot wasn't stupid either, and he heard something else in Higgins's words.

"Prevention is always necessary!" Higgins smiled, trying to hide his weakness.

Bilbohm smiled at Higgins and turned to leave. He didn't go straight back to his tent, but to Jenny and Ed. Through his contact with Ed in the past few days, Bilbow found that Ed has changed so much that he no longer even thinks of Ed as a child. Higgins was acting a little strangely today, and he wanted to hear what else Ed had to say.

Hearing Bilbohm's introduction, Li Zijun was just a little silent and figured out the trick! Higgins must have learned the news that a certain gang of robbers was going to attack them through a secret channel, but this channel was a little subtle, and Higgins couldn't say it directly, so he had the kind of performance he has today. No matter where Higgins' news comes from and what the other party's purpose is, Li Zijun can at least be sure that the other party has no intention of harming him. Therefore, Li Zijun doesn't want to be entangled in speculating about the identity of the other party now, he just wants to get through the current crisis safely!

Caroline, writing back to Higgins, also passed the same message to Jenny, only describing the incident in more detail. The nobles of the Seine Peninsula moved at this time in order to drag Caroline and make her inseparable from the city of Zarat. The other party has already calculated Caroline, so he will not be prepared for Higgins's current performance, but what other tricks does the other party have?

"It's broken!" Li Zijun blurted out.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Li Zijun's exclamation, Bilbohm and Jenny were both taken aback, looked at Li Zijun and asked.

"Uncle Bill, please quickly ask General Higgins to check if the bridge we passed before is intact, and if the bridge behind us is destroyed, the other party will soon attack!" Li Zijun said with a serious expression.

Bilbohm didn't bother to ask why, and immediately ran in the direction of Higgins.

"Second sister, we are really in trouble this time! Unless a reinforcement falls from the sky, otherwise, I am afraid this is the burial place of our sister and brother!" Li Zijun looked at Jenny and said with a little regret.

"Perhaps, the Tiger Bandits will come here to save us!" Jenny said after a moment's hesitation.

"Tiger bandits?" Li Zijun was startled when he heard Jenny's words.

"Yes, the Tiger Bandit Group is a liliang hidden in the shadows of our family, and the eldest sister has already mobilized them to help, but I don't know if it will be in time!" Jenny then told Li Zijun about the situation of the Tiger Bandit Group.

"I hope they have time!" Hearing that the Tiger Bandit Regiment was stationed in the desert, Li Zijun's just raised hope was almost directly shattered, but he also understood that this was their only sustenance at present, and he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

Higgins was also taken aback when he heard Bilbohm's reminder, and immediately sent someone to the back to check the situation of the bridge. After receiving the definite news, Higgins's face turned pale! He dared to stick to this place, largely because of the retreat behind him. If he really can't hold it, he can take the Ed siblings and withdraw directly. But now it seems that the other party has thought of all their own ways to deal with it, they want to destroy themselves here! Higgins knew that he had no way to retreat, and ordered his men to step up the construction of fortifications, and he had already made up his mind, even if he died, he would pull as many enemies as possible to go with him!

No sooner had the Royal Guard built the fortifications than Eric arrived with the vanguard. As soon as he saw the fortifications that Higgins had built at the mountain pass, he was shocked! Higgins had obviously received the news and was well prepared. If it weren't for the fact that the headquarters had prepared various plans before the operation, Eric would have been worried about Higgins withdrawing with Edlaide by now.

But even so, Eric did not dare to relax in the slightest. The Royal Guard is the elite force of the Dongyu Empire, and fighting against such a force, even if the Wolf Bandit Group has an absolute advantage in numbers, it will take a huge price to defeat the other party. What's more, now that the Royal Guard still has a geographical advantage, the battle of the Evil Wolf and Robber Regiment is definitely not easy to fight!

If it had been just an ordinary attack today, encountering such a prepared opponent as the Royal Guard, Eric would have given up long ago.

But now Eric has no chance of backing down, he can only grit his teeth and fight Higgins here. In order to minimize casualties, Eric ordered his soldiers to camp and rest immediately, while he himself led a few men to observe the royal guard's fortifications.

After carefully inspecting the fortifications laid out by the royal guards, Eric couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. The Royal Guard laid out three trenches outside the camp, and the depth of the trenches, the gaps between them, the arrangement of the traps, and the calculation of the range were exactly right. Moreover, the camp of the Royal Guard was built on the hillside, which was not steep, but it limited the possibility of cavalry charge! Seeing this situation, Eric also felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't think of any way for a while, so he retreated to the camp with people.

Eric gathered his men to study it for a night, but couldn't find a good solution. Zuihou, in desperation, Eric had to give the order to storm the next day.

Early the next morning, Eric personally led 3,000 troops, which he divided into several parts, and the goal in the morning was to fill in the three trenches outside the camp.

The soldiers of the Wolf Bandit Regiment each carried a sandbag and rushed towards the first trench. The Royal Guards showed Eric their precision marksmanship, and the Wolf Bandits, who lacked the necessary protection, seemed to become targets in front of the Royal Guards, and the Wolf Bandits dropped more than 200 warriors outside the first trench, but the trench could not be filled even halfway.

"Push all the brothers who died in battle into the trench!" Although Eric's heart was bleeding when he saw the scene in front of him, he knew that he didn't have much time. Once his presence was discovered by several military towns around him, the wolf bandits would suffer even greater losses, and in desperation, Eric gave this cold-blooded order.

Eric's order also aroused the ferocity of the wolf bandits, and the wounded warriors among them even jumped into the trenches themselves, using their bodies as sandbags.

Under such a reckless attack by the wolf bandits, the first trench was finally filled by noon. Before Eric could give the order, the soldiers of the Wolf Bandit Regiment quickly cleared the obstacles on the road and rushed directly to the second trench.

Higgins saw that the wolf bandit group was so fierce, and he had to admire Eric's clever methods. Although the wolf bandits broke through the first trench, Higgins's visual inspection showed that they had lost at least nearly five hundred warriors. If it was an ordinary army, it would have been necessary to go down and re-revise it a long time ago, but the Evil Wolf Bandit Regiment didn't even stop, so they continued to rush up, and they really deserved the title of the three major bandit regiments outside the Plug.

It's just that the wolf bandit group is fierce, and the royal guard is not a bully, and fifty cavalrymen of the royal guard stand in front of the walled gate. In order to be faster, they didn't even wear a piece of leather armor on their bodies, and just waited quietly for the order to charge.

The wolf bandits couldn't see what was going on inside the camp, and they were still frantically filling the trenches with a rain of arrows. Due to the previous experience, the number of people lost by the wolf bandit group this time was less than four hundred, and Eric's face showed a little lighthearted.

Suddenly, the gate of the camp opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out, and they directly crossed a trench in Zuihou and ran directly into the soldiers who filled the ditch. Sharp blades were tied to the front legs of these horses, and the knights continued to wield their weapons. With the tremendous momentum from above, they slaughtered the soldiers of the Vicious Wolf and Bandit Regiment who were caught off guard. In just an instant, three or four hundred warriors of the Vicious Wolf Bandit Regiment fell in a pool of blood.

The cavalry did not stop there, they rushed down the hill and entered Eric's ranks, resorting to a suicidal attack. But when these people were completely wiped out, the Vicious Wolf Bandit Regiment fell again with two or three hundred people!

This behavior of the royal guards greatly angered Eric, and if it weren't for his men holding him to death, he would have almost led the men to worship the position himself.

But someone was able to hold him, but no one stopped the angry wolf bandits from charging wildly. The royal guards had once again inflicted heavy losses on the Wolf Bandits, and by the time Eric found out, the Wolf Bandits had lost more than 300 men.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Eric had no choice but to give the order to withdraw his troops.

Belinda had arrived before Eric attacked, and the destroyed bridge on the way back of the Royal Guard was her handiwork! She witnessed the entire attack of the Wolf Bandits, and couldn't help but be a little worried about this mission!

The Evil Wolf Bandit Group is a liliang cultivated by the Dark Moon Cult, and all the generals from top to bottom are the most devout believers of the Dark Moon Cult, they are a nail nailed to the grassland by the Dark Moon Cult, not only providing a lot of economic assistance to the Dark Moon Cult, but also subtly affecting the relationship between the grassland and several empires bordering the grassland!

Originally, when the headquarters of the Dark Moon God Cult started, he just wanted to borrow Edlaide to tie Timothy to his chariot, and he didn't care so much about Edlaide's life and death! Belinda's terms with Timoxitty are just some chips earned in passing!

The Wolf Bandits are very important to the Cult of the Dark Moon God, and the headquarters doesn't want them to be consumed on the little Marquis of Edlaide. Therefore, Belinda was sent over and allowed to act cheaply!

Belinda is the shadow protector of the Cult of the Dark Moon God, and as the name suggests, although she has a high status in the Cult of the Dark Moon God, she can never appear in the sun. Even at the headquarters of the Cult of the Dark Luna, not many people knew her identity, and she could only contact the headquarters through a few specific people. Belinda didn't know how many shadow protectors like her were in the Cult of the Dark Moon God, but she knew very well that these people were all carrying out the darkest and dirtiest actions in the Cult!

In return, the Cult of the Dark Moon will give them the greatest help and freedom, and even their most unreasonable demands will be met as much as possible!

Belinda was originally just a talented warrior, although she chose to attach herself to the nobles, she eventually gained the skill of expulsion and became a swordsman. But Belinda's talent came to an end at this point, and until she was thirty-five years old, her martial arts skills could not go further!

By chance, Belinda got a cheatbook! This cheatbook records how a woman can get a powerful liliang from a male warrior, but this method is too lewd and evil for Belinda, who has never been married. At first, Belinda didn't believe in it at all and was reluctant to try it. After all, the identity of the swordsman is enough for Belinda to live a good life, and she is not a particularly persistent person for martial arts, and slowly she forgets about the secrets.

But later, for some reason, the nobleman to whom Belinda was attached suddenly gathered more than a dozen masters above the intermediate sword master. Belinda even thinks that one or two of them are great swordsmen!

The arrival of these people made Belinda's status plummet. Some of these unscrupulous people were even more attracted by Belinda's mature charm and began to do something to her. What made Belinda the most intolerable was that after her 'boss' found out about this, he actually hinted that Belinda met that person's requirements. The 'boss' attitude completely infuriated Belinda, and she thought of the cheatbook again, and with the idea of revenge, she let the intermediate swordsman succeed. As a result, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her realm had improved significantly, but the man seemed to have regressed a little.

At the beginning, Belinda was still a little worried about her predatory cultivation method, and at the same time, she was still a little guilty in the face of the intermediate swordsman who had been plotted by her. However, the intermediate swordsman not only did not notice his change, but instead harassed Belinda even more. What Belinda couldn't accept the most was that this person also took another intermediate swordsman to spoil her while she was asleep! At this time, Belinda's 'boss' not only adopted a tacit attitude, but also connived at others to continue to harass her.

Belinda's actions completely angered Belinda, and she launched a frenzied revenge! As more and more men around her appeared, her martial arts also improved by leaps and bounds, and in less than three years, she actually crossed two levels in a row to enter the ranks of senior swordsmen.

At the same time as Belinda's rapid promotion, she finally attracted the attention of those who care!

Belinda's 'boss' took her to a suburban manor, and when Belinda stepped into the room, she immediately felt a great deal of pressure, and before she could figure out what was going on, the two great swordsmen pushed her to the ground and tied her up. She was then loaded into a wooden box and transported by carriage to a mysterious place.

The people there were very polite, and they knew Belinda's situation very well, and he asked Belinda to put forward conditions in exchange for the cheats of her cultivation! The cheats in Belinda's hands had already been destroyed by her, and she still felt that this thing was the safest thing in her head!

Of course, Belinda couldn't just believe him, but she wasn't willing to give up the opportunity in front of her easily. So she proposed to the other party that she should be allowed to cultivate freely for five years, and of course the other party had to provide her with the corresponding 'prey'!

Belinda didn't expect that the other party agreed to her request without even thinking about it, and strictly implemented the contract.

Five years later, Belinda succeeded in becoming a great swordsman, and she also faithfully handed over the cheats to the other party. While receiving the cheats, the other party sent a second offer to Belinda: inviting her to become the shadow protector of the Cult of the Dark Moon God, on the condition that the Church of the Dark Moon God would meet any of her requests as much as possible! It was only at this time that Belinda figured out who she was trading with!

Belinda understands that at this point, there is no way back for her. If she refuses the other party, all that awaits her is death! The Dark Moon Cult will never allow her to leak such a cultivation method! And her cultivation method is unlikely to be accepted by other shili, even if the Dark Moon Cult lets her go, it is impossible for her to return to the sun to survive again! At the same time, she feels that the cooperation with the Dark Moon Cult is very pleasant, and she very much hopes to continue to cooperate. Therefore, when the other party made an offer, Belinda only hesitated a little and agreed to the other party.

In the past fifty years, Belinda has helped the Dark Moon God Sect do many unsightly things, and at the same time, the Dark Moon God Sect has also provided a lot of help to her cultivation.

Three years ago, Belinda finally broke through again and entered the Holy Rank! To Belinda's surprise, while she stepped into the Holy Rank, her appearance actually returned to the way she was when she was in her twenties! In addition to gratitude, she also worked more hard for the Dark Moon God Cult.

Seeing Eric's frustration, Belinda was a little anxious, but she couldn't do anything now! The tacit understanding between the Cult of the Light God and the Cult of the Dark Moon God was that the Holy Rank masters could not make a casual move, and once one party broke the agreement, the other party would immediately retaliate in the same way.

The Dongyu Empire is the shili range of the Cult of Light, and the Dark Moon Cult can send the Holy Rank here to develop its own Shili, but if the Holy Rank takes the initiative to harm the nobles here, the Church of the Light God will go to the Shili range of the Dark Moon Cult to do the same thing!

Of course, if she can do it without knowing and kill everyone who knows, Belinda doesn't mind dealing with Edlaide. It's just that in such a situation, it is clearly not suitable for this condition. And Belinda worries that Archmage Kaye is likely still following Edlaide's team. That guy is not something she can deal with, and if she does do it, it will be tantamount to sending the other party an excuse to kill herself. Don't look at Kaye being so kind in front of Edlaide, he sees that Belinda will not be half merciful!

Belinda hesitated for a while, but finally left. She was going to rush to a few military towns close to here, trying to use her connections to slow down the dispatch of troops there and buy Eric more time.
