Chapter 43: Ambush
Wren and Tyran hurriedly led the old village chief all the way out of the jungle.
Wren was anxious at the moment. The werewolf had apparently spotted him. I just guessed that he was here to save people. Didn't attack Wren.
But their goal is clear, it is the shipment that Johnson is going to escort.
"Wren, Captain Johnson, do you know their route?" Tyran asked anxiously.
"I... I don't know. Wren said.
"But there are so many roads from Arthur's border to Lehman. How are we going to find them? Tyran said.
Wren thought about it and felt that there was only one way.
"I'm afraid I'll have to go to Lehman City. Wren said.
Tyran thought so, but they were afraid that they would delay things when they came and went.
I'm afraid that by the time Wren went to Lehman City to ask for clarification, and then rushed over to inform him, Johnson and they had already met.
"Let's get out first, and then we'll figure it out on the way!" Wren said.
......
At the same time, the orc team had already reached the exit of the forest.
I saw a werewolf mercenary talking to the werewolf leader.
"Brother Stephen, why didn't you just arrest the stealth person just now?"
"Mira, most of the people just took over the task to save people's soldiers. There's no need for us to make any more trouble. Moreover, our first task is to get the holy relics back. This kind of person who can stealth the technique, we still don't mess with it less. Maybe we'll be able to use it someday!" the werewolf leader sighed.
"But Brother Stephen, I always have a hunch that something will happen to this man!" said Mira.
"Well, don't overthink it. We hurried to find the horses and go to the predetermined ambush site. The leader, Stephen, said.
It didn't take long for the mercenaries to find their horses, which had been kept in the village. The man in charge of the horses turned out to be the same villager who led them into the village. When he saw that the mercenaries had come out, he mounted his horse and rode away.
"Are you okay these days?" asked Stephen.
"It's okay, it's just a team of young couples who came to find the village chief just now. Presumably the captain has already seen it. The man replied.
Stephen nodded, suddenly looked at the man and said, "It's the two?"
"Yes!" the man replied.
Stephen thought about it, it didn't matter, the two of them were probably the first to go to the wooden house to investigate. So he didn't notice the other person either.
"Have you found a way closer to the past these days?" said Stephen.
"Yes, Boss, please come with me. The man said hurriedly.
In a short time, the people came to the ambush site. I saw that the location of this place is excellent. It's a small hill and it's on the border between Charlemagne and Lehman. Although Arthur was a big country and Lehman was a small country, there were no garrisons on the border between the two countries. After all, the sixty-six countries of Shannan have their own agreements. But the zone between the two countries is certainly a place where the two countries don't care about it. If a case really happens, and the militaries of the two countries pass the buck to each other, there will be no agency to deal with it.
The main road from Arthur to Lehman happens to pass under this hill, and everyone is ambushed here, so there is no need to worry about being discovered!
Everyone hurriedly prepared here, and Stephen also sent three people to the place five miles before and after to investigate.
This is perfectly normal in the eyes of their werewolves. They werewolves are a race of soldiers for all. So all werewolves are soldiers or officers of the orc tribe. And Stephen is just one of them.
"Captain, they're almost there. We've reached the hill ahead. It's only half an hour to get here. Someone sent by Stephen came back and reported.
"Okay, all set. According to the original plan, the first team was divided into three teams, and the first team mainly fought with the escorted armed forces. The second team is responsible for storming those who are guarding the relics. The third team gave me the fastest way to retrieve the relics. Do you understand?" asked Stephen in a whisper.
"It's all understood, don't worry, captain!" everyone quickly replied softly.
"Try to be careful with me for a while, and don't hurt people if you can. Stephen continued.
After a while, I saw a team of people escorting a delicate car. The cart contained a large iron box. The copper lock on the box looked dozens of pounds heavy. If you don't have a key, it will take a lot of effort to open this copper lock.
"In a moment, the brass lock will be handed over to you. Iron Bull!" Stephen said to a sturdy minotaur.
The minotaur looked at least six or seven hundred pounds. Hearing this, he hurriedly nodded with Stephen. He didn't dare to speak, for fear that if he couldn't grasp the volume of his voice, he would be discovered by the marching team below.
"Get ready!" Stephen saw that the convoy was about to arrive at the predetermined position, and suddenly one of the human warriors leading the team in front of him suddenly raised his hand, not knowing if he felt something.
I saw that the human warrior looked at the top of the mountain, and didn't seem to find anything. Just as I was about to put my hand down.
Suddenly, from a position of about a hundred steps away from the place where Stephen and them were ambushing, someone shouted loudly: "Commander Wren, be careful, there is an ambush!"
When the human warrior heard this, he hurriedly turned the convoy around and walked back. Stephen saw that the man was still so far away from him, and he had been exposed anyway.
He hurriedly ordered to go down, and everyone charged.
Stephen's men were all carrying horses.
The team took advantage of the mountain and in a short time rushed in front of Johnson and them. It's just that Stephen's original plan to flank them back and forth couldn't be achieved.
At Johnson's command, Chloe protected the left flank of the convoy, Redding and Jack protected the right flank, and Molia responded with a bow and arrow on the iron box.
"Who are you, how dare you rob in broad daylight?" Johnson said, but that was nonsense. Because on this continent there are more robbers. Otherwise, there will be no way for the mercenaries to live.
"As long as you hand over the relics you are escorting, we guarantee that you will leave unscathed!" Stephen said.
"Impossible!" Johnson didn't give in.
Seeing this, Stephen had no choice but to pull out his broadsword and rush towards Johnson on horseback. The big knife in his hand exuded a red fighting aura inside.
Johnson naturally did not show weakness, and he also pulled out his big sword, and he was full of fighting spirit. I saw that these two people were borrowing horses, and the horses rushed over with manpower.
I only heard the sound of "Peng!", and the swords of the two collided. The huge impact force made the two of them fall off the horse at the same time in an instant.
The two horses could not stand the inertia of the sudden stop, and one of them rolled forward with a roll. For a while, it was difficult for both horses to stand up for a short time.
"You're pretty good as a human!" Stephen said.
"You're not bad as an orc!" Johnson scoffed.
"Hahahaha!" Stephen laughed as he slashed down with another broadsword that had been accumulating for a long time.
Johnson didn't dodge at all, and he picked up with a sword from the bottom up!
