Chapter Twenty-Five: Trapped

The hideout of the bandit group was surprisingly easy to find, and Zhou Liang found it without too many twists and turns.

Standing in front of a fence and seeing the scenery in front of him couldn't help but remind Zhou Liang of the former Skull Pool, which was also so simple, and the defense seemed to be a joke.

After listening to the report of the reconnaissance team, Caini walked behind Zhou Liang and interrupted Zhou Liang's emotion: "The defense of the bandit group is very rudimentary, and it is easy to break through, but they are too much, and it may be difficult to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Zhou Liang looked at the green-skinned bandit who was trembling in the fence and said to Zeni, "Do you feel a little strange?"

"My lord, what's strange besides" The implication is that he didn't feel it at all.

"Forget it, so the team is scattered into three, two in the front and echo each other in the back, we are slowly moving forward, anyway, we are all here, just destroy their living force as much as possible" Zhou Liang originally wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything other than feeling uncomfortable.

Everything went smoothly in the operation, seeing the green-skinned orcs dying one by one, and the power of death increased little by little, Zhou Liang felt more and more panicked, which may be caused by a long-term insecurity, just when the large army reached the slope where the robbers last existed, Zhou Liang immediately shouted to stop the team.

"Zeni, something is wrong, you immediately arrange for someone to go to the neighborhood to investigate," Zhou Liang said solemnly to Zeni who was following him.

"It's my lord" Seeing Zhou Liang's serious appearance, Cai Ni knew that there must be something that he hadn't discovered, and hurriedly agreed.

"Papapa" A clapping sound sounded from behind the hillside, "I didn't see it, Deputy Commander Zhou Liang, you still have some military talents, I'm curious how you found out?"

Suddenly hearing the voice, Zeni's face was shocked, he never expected that there would really be an accident.

"I don't have any military talent, I'm just very afraid of death" Zhou Liang patted Caini's shoulder and comforted him to calm down, "Don't worry about an old friend"

"I'm really curious, I've been very careful, how did you find out" Eric walked slowly behind the hillside, followed by three men in dark red cloaks, and when they passed by the greenskinned robbers, the robbers hid in fear.

"That's it now, these green-skinned orcs are too frightened, as if they know our appearance and their results, there is no pressure to resist, this is already very obvious, blame me for finding out a little late" Zhou Liang spread his hands helplessly.

Eric looked around at the orcs who were afraid of him and smiled, fear was not something he could do to avoid this kind of thing, otherwise these orcs would not have been reduced to living by procreation.

"You seem to know what arrangements I have," Eric said with some surprise as he looked at Zhou Liang's appearance of arranging defense.

"Big brother, you are too obvious" Zhou Liang looked at the traces of blood flowing on the ground after the death of the orcs while arranging the defense of the knights, "Such a large area flows to those places, such a strange pattern, I am not a fool, it is obvious that this is not a summoning circle or a sacrificial circle" Zhou Liang has not been in vain in the past few months, in order to effectively combat the underworld forces, he has made up for strange knowledge, this kind of magic circle is not a regular magic circle at first glance, it is not a good thing.

"Anyway, you just escaped, why don't you stir up the wind and rain in the city anymore, I'm hiding so far away, do you need to calculate me here, although I sent you to the inquisition, you won't really be careful to hate me so much" Zhou Liang looked at Eric a little helplessly and said.

"No, no, how can it be, I also want to thank you, my lord, if you hadn't woken me up, I might still be reluctant to go to the position that I have worked hard for more than ten years" Eric smiled and pointed at Zhou Liang with a finger, "I'm here just for business, your strength is the weakest but the variables are great, I'm afraid it will affect my next plan, of course, I have to solve it first, the time is almost up, I will say goodbye to the deputy legion elder first, I wish you a happy time here" Eric looked at the circle on the ground that was about to be completed, saluted slightly in the direction of Zhou Liang, and then turned around and disappeared on the other side of the hillside, but there were three people behind him, and only one continued to follow him.

"Erik, are you sure that such an arrangement can solve this Zhou Liang?" asked the man behind Eric in a deep voice, his voice a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Of course I'm not sure, I've only been in contact with him for a long time, and I don't know more than you, and judging from the intelligence of the past few months, he can't be an F-class professional, I just don't want him to return to Broken Wings City faster, after all, that is our main battlefield" Eric smiled and continued, "Of course, it would be best if it could be solved, after all, it is also a brigade of the Legion, and one-third of the strength of the entire Legion"

"My lord, what should we do now," Zeini said to Zhou Liang as he looked at the circle that had glowed slightly red.

"Slowly retreat, first exit the scope of the circle" Zhou Liang did not look at the circle on the ground, but looked at the two people wearing cloaks not far away, without thinking that these two people would not let them go out easily.

I saw that the knights began to retreat slowly, and one of the two cloaked men rushed in their direction, pulling out the long knife behind him while running, and killed the knights at the same time, the red mist on the long knife could easily cut through the knight's armor, and the fast figure was difficult for any knight to touch him.

Before Zhou Liang could make a move, Zeni pulled out the long sword on his waist and killed the cloaked man, and the power of the holy light exploded, neutralizing the red mist that was originally drawn towards him.

"That's it, it's still coming to resist us" Zhou Liang looked at the cloaked man with some puzzlement, even Caini's two brushes couldn't beat, and he didn't know who gave them the courage, before he could continue to order, the screams in the distance came, it turned out that another cloaked man had already killed the green-skinned bandits who were still alive, and the deaths of the robbers one by one significantly accelerated the speed of the activation of the magic circle on the ground.

Zhou Liang hurriedly ordered the knights to speed up the retreat, seeing that the large army had already withdrawn, only the original front was left, and now because of the retreat, he and hundreds of knights were still in the magic circle, but in the end it was too late.

When Zeni finally joined forces with the knights who rushed over to kill the cloaked man, the circle had been activated, and a red pillar of light rose from the ground, besieging Zhou Liang inside and blocking Caini's view inside.

"Lord Adjutant, the deputy commander is trapped inside, what should I do now?" the knight beside the adjutant hurriedly asked.

"What should I do? Of course I wait, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death" The adjutant looked at the pillar of light in front of him with a serious face, he and Zhou Liang have worked together for a short time, but the two of them still have some feelings after a few months, although Zhou Liang is not very reliable, but Zhou Liang's calf protection is particularly serious, even if he only follows him for a day, he is not allowed to be bullied, and all Zhou Liang's subordinates respect him.

This time Zhou Liang was trapped, it could be seen that his popularity was not bad, at least no one proposed to throw him here, of course, everyone in the knights was also angry, anyway, the formation had already been launched. It is impossible to launch a second time, and they will simply take the robbers who are still alive. All of a sudden, the blood flowed again.
