Chapter 125 The Eye of the Mage (Eleventh Consecutive Update, Please Subscribe, Monthly Ticket)
This knight is another senior knight who is accompanying him. He holds an extremely important position in the entire Sabretooth Mercenary Group.
He is very large and is the strongest person Luther has ever seen.
He only wears leather armor to protect his vital parts. His hair is disheveled and he has a long beard, looking like a berserker.
His weapon is a double-sided axe with a short but very thick handle.
Orleans.
This is the name of this knight.
Orleans' words resonated with most of the knights present. They hated fighting and protecting their customers. Most knights who are mercenaries have bad tempers. It is rare to have a good temper like Knight Stone.
Because the life of a mercenary is accompanied by blood and rain, maybe you will eat and drink happily today and go to see the god of death tomorrow.
So the knights showed unfriendly expressions to Pompey and his son without disguising.
Luther gave a thumbs up to Knight Orleans in his heart. Although the tone was not good, he liked to hear this.
Luther would not participate in the battle if he could avoid it.
But Old Sol's attitude was very firm. He said, "My nickname is "Golden Lion Sol", and I am the bravest knight in Patton."
Brave does not mean powerful, so there is nothing wrong with what Old Sol said.
After all, he is now nominally a mid-level knight.
But the knights did not think so. How brave can a lord knight under a country baron be? Our knights can beat two of you.
But in the end, the Battle Axe Knight agreed to Old Sol's request. After all, Pompey and his son are the customers, and they have to take care of the customer's emotions.
Anyway, this time they brought two senior knights, as long as they were careful, the battle would not have too many twists and turns. But the Battle Axe Knight still carefully told Old Sol to let the father and son stay at the back of the team as much as possible.
After a small episode, the Battle Axe Knight made combat deployments.
The Axe Knight said to the junior mage in the team: "Mr. Al, please release your little thing to explore the secret sentries and possible traps in the forest."
This junior mage was completely hidden in a black cloak with a hood. Only his nose and chin could be seen from a normal angle. He didn't talk much and was a very mysterious mage.
Strangely, this mage had a sword hanging around his waist.
Mr. Al nodded, and his cloak moved. Then some flies flew out and buzzed into the forest.
Luther was a little curious. He knew very little about mages and had never seen this thing.
"This is not life. This is a magic-driven toy. Mr. Al released the Mage's Eye on it to explore the situation."
Seeing Luther staring curiously, the Axe Knight smiled and explained.
His tone and attitude seemed to be treating a junior, because the Axe Knight and Old Thor were quite like-minded along the way and became very good friends.
Sometimes Luther had to admit that Old Thor had great diplomatic skills. He was indeed a face person who could solve many problems with his face.
Luther was talking to the Axe Knight, and the knights began to prepare for battle. Not long after, the flies flew back.
Mr. El glanced at the Axe Knight, who took out a map of the Blackwater Mountains in tacit understanding. Mr. El made some marks on the map, namely crosses and circles.
Mr. El said in a very low and hoarse voice: "The cross represents three secret sentries, where there are knights and ordinary guards, and their strength is not strong. The circle is the sensing position set by the opponent's wizard. Once you step into this sensing position, you will be known by the opponent. So you can't destroy it, you can only take a detour."
The Axe Knight touched his chin, as if he was feeling the softness and hardness of the beard on his chin.
"We will be divided into three teams, clear these three secret posts, and gather here." The Battle Axe Knight pointed to a point on the map, and then assigned tasks: "Orleans Knight, Nabal Knight, you each take ten intermediate knights to clear these two checkpoints, and the rest are Mr. El, Thor and Luther, you follow me to clear this checkpoint."
"Yes."
The knights were well-trained, and after responding, they entered the forest under the leadership of their respective leaders. Luther and Old Thor followed the footsteps of the Battle Axe Knight.
He made up his mind to stay in the back and not fight the opponent head-on.
Going up to fight is stupid.
However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen, so although Luther tried to stay at the back of the team, his body was also prepared for battle just in case.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The forest south of the Blackwater Mountains is different from the endless forest south of Prussia, although it is equally dark and humid.
But there are fewer monsters and terrible plants. The main output is some mosquitoes, insects, and poisonous snakes. For a group of knights, these are trivial matters.
Luther followed the back of the team and marched forward in an orderly manner. Because they were all knights, controlling their bodies was commonplace, so the group made very little noise.
Soon after, the group arrived at the location of the secret post marked by Mr. Al. This was a tree house built on a big tree.
Because of the cover of the leaves, it was not easy to be discovered.
But it could not escape the eyes of the wizard, and of course it could not escape the eyes of the current knights.
To deal with such a secret post, it should be cleared out as soon as possible, and the personnel inside should not be allowed to send messages. The way to send messages is nothing more than a few swift birds.
However, no matter how careful the knights were, they could not hide from the ears of the other knights and quietly attack the post, so they could only attack by force.
The Sabretooth Mercenary Group was very experienced in this.
The Tomahawk Knight made a few gestures, and several intermediate knights nodded, drew their bows, and ambushed on the tree.
If the situation was not good, they would shoot the birds that sent messages with bows and arrows.
The remaining knights, including Luther and Old Thor, slowly spread out and surrounded the post.
Mr. Al did not release auxiliary magic for the knights. The magic power of a junior wizard was not sufficient, and his magic power had to be used in more critical places.
When the knights were only about fifty steps away from the checkpoint, the Battle Axe Knight made a gesture, and the knights of the Sabertooth Mercenary Group understood it instantly. They followed the Battle Axe Knight and rushed to the tree house on the tree.
Old Thor certainly did not understand this gesture, but he reacted quickly and rushed over swiftly. Only Luther stayed with Mr. Al.
It was better not to participate in the battle.
Mr. Al looked at Luther strangely. This father and son were really strange. The father was a battle fanatic, and the son seemed to have no interest in fighting.
Strange.
Although Mr. Al did not talk much, he observed very carefully.
