Chapter 606 Waiting for an Opportunity

A flatbed cart pulled by horses and horses left the camp of the Warren defenders.

The driver was a soldier captain, wearing leather armor and belting a long sword, and Tosta, who had assassinated Mary on the flatbed, was beaten unconscious and placed on top of it.

The carriage traveled along a straight road.

There were no obstacles along the way, and they soon reached the agreed place: the midpoint of the road connecting Thunder Fortress and Luldry.

Because of the particularity of Thunder Fortress, this road is not only wide, but also very smooth, and the woods on both sides have been cut down and arranged intentionally.

Therefore, the soldier captain standing here can see his surroundings clearly.

"I have come with His Majesty's will!"

The soldier captain shouted loudly.

The voice is loud and looks brave, but the knuckles of the fingers holding the sword are white.

Clearly, soldiers are far less fearless than they appear in the long run.

The voice fell, and after waiting for a while, no one answered.

The soldier captain frowned, and shouted again.

Several times in a row, no one answered.

On the empty road in the middle of the night, the agreed person did not appear, only the gentle night wind blowing, and the roar of a beast came from time to time.

The soldier-captain swallowed.

The tension could no longer be suppressed on his face.

Sudden!

Footsteps sounded behind him.

The soldier captain was about to turn around subconsciously, but a dagger was even faster and directly cut the soldier captain's throat.

The tension on his face still remained, but the panic had just surfaced.

But while the blood was spraying, the vitality was rapidly lost.

"Surprisingly, only one unknown pawn was sent here... Your lord's old suspicions are really effective! I'm afraid that 2567 is still worried that this is a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

A black figure rubbed the blood-stained dagger on the leather armor of the soldier captain.

And the other black shadow following behind the black shadow laughed lightly.

The laughter is full of ease and casualness.

"Prairie people are a pack of hungry wolves. If given the chance, no matter who they are, they will bite them!"

"Although that 2567 is very powerful, what can it do with a group of remnants and defeated generals?"

"No, no, it can't be said that the remnant soldiers are defeated. With the departure of those nobles, how can there be generals? They are all a group of soldiers!"

"Let's take Tosta back first—my lord is very curious about the origin of this traitor...There is another traitor in our Snake Sect. It's really...hehe!"

The Snake faction who shot and killed the soldier commander highly praised the adult he was talking about.

However, he sneered again and again very quickly, and looked at the unconscious Tosta with murderous intent.

No one likes to be betrayed.

Especially those who have been betrayed.

The Snake faction who spoke first heard what his companion said, and grabbed Tosta without hesitation, but his palm passed through Tosta's body.

phantom? !

The two Snakes were stunned for a moment and then reacted.

But the 'fallen' soldiers grow faster.

Silently, the illusion enveloped the two of them.

The two people who were violently resisting in the last moment, only remained dull in the next moment.

"grown ups!"

The 'Bloody Mary' who had removed her disguise looked at Kieran who came out of the shadow and saluted respectfully.

"Take them back to the camp and hand them over to Fink for custody!"

Qin Ran ordered.

"yes!"

With the existence of [Fantos Manuscript], the higher evil spirits did not have any resistance.

Seeing the appearance of the high-level evil spirit driving away quickly, Qin Ran nodded secretly.

"A powerful helper with 250 points every 10 minutes... high quality and low price!"

Qin Ran commented like this.

Bloody Mary can not only change the appearance of anyone, but also has a very powerful illusion ability. It is really not very easy to use against enemies whose spirit and perception are not good enough.

Similarly, for Kieran who is used to 'walking alone', he is a rare helper just like the scouting fire crow.

It was as if at this moment, Qin Ran, who was connected with Huo Ya, saw Rock's predicament.

"Is it finally out of hiding?"

"Deliberately leak Tosta's identity to the Snake faction, and let them 'provoke' me, not only attracting my attention, but also the Snake faction's attention, and then remove the obstacles as quickly as possible... ...The secrets about Mary are really fascinating!"

Qin Ran whispered to himself.

Then, it quickly disappeared into the darkness beside it.

He needs to speed up.

Because, a new system prompt appeared.

[Discover side mission: Rescue Rock]

[Rescue Rock: Although you reminded me, the unexpected appearance of a third party caught the court wizard by surprise. He is in critical condition and needs your rescue! Note, if you fail, it will affect your reputation and prestige in the Warren garrison! 】

...

"Damn it!"

Rock clutched the bleeding wound on his left shoulder, recalling the scene just now with lingering fear.

Pushing open the door, there was a sudden sword strike. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been pierced through his throat at this moment, turning him into a corpse.

But things are not much better now.

With a shoulder injury, it was difficult for Rock to finish casting and counterattack.

In fact, even if it is intact, it is difficult to do it under the constant pursuit of the opponent.

The power of a wizard is based on spells.

If you can't cast spells, everything will become nothingness.

call!

Taking a deep breath, Rock ran again.

The court wizard knew that if he didn't want to die, he could only run.

At least you have to go to a place with city guards to get a chance of life.

However, Rock's footsteps soon stopped.

Because there were also footsteps ahead.

Not alone.

At least five people or more.

Messy and hurried.

Without hesitation, Rock hid in a shadow formed by the moonlight, and a few clusters of powder popped out from his right hand, covering up the smell of blood.

As for the blood on the ground?

Rock had no time to cover up.

I can only hope that no one will see it when it gets dark.

After a breath, a man in a red robe and scarf appeared in Rock's field of vision.

The situation of the other party is very bad.

A short crossbow bolt was stuck in the back, and the scarlet robe near the wound was black.

The subtle pungent smell made Rock, who was hiding, frown.

poison!

Deadly poison!

The court wizard was very curious about what happened to this person who was also hunted down, but his own state kept the court wizard silent.

No extra thoughts, just to save your life!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spread of the toxin caused Celti's physical strength to drain rapidly.

Even, you can feel a trace of coldness in your body.

Celti knew that he had to speed up, otherwise, even if he got rid of the pursuers behind him, it would be difficult to survive.

Thinking of this, Celti couldn't help but speed up by a point.

But the speed that had just sped up immediately slowed down.

Or to be more precise, Celti stopped completely.

Because, a person holding a long sword appeared in front of him.

Those who were chasing Celty also stopped.

Their gazes flicked back and forth between Celty and the sword bearer.

And the same goes for the sword bearer.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely strange.
