Chapter 142 The Ranger Glimpses (1)

September 26th, dawn.

The convoy of Jitter Firm slowly drove out of the Cobb Forest, the four carriages still maintained their original formation, and the mercenaries and undead dressed as servants looked at the city of Houlier, which looked like a crawling giant in the distance. On the city wall, the originally slack expression gradually became serious.

Derby's bald head was very conspicuous in the dim light. He was running back and forth after a busy day, and he was constantly receiving information from the pathfinder mercenaries—although his performance was humble in front of Magda, it was not It doesn't mean that Derby is a simple dog leg. In fact, if Magda hadn't participated in the mission at the request of Ansardin, this powerful assassin would have enough ability to complete the assassination of Angmar.

But now that Magda, who was three or four ranks higher than him, took the shot, Derby was actually glad that his mission was the lowest risk one in decades.

Master Derby, the curfew has just been lifted in Houllier City, but only the west gate is open. After some inquiries, it has been like this for the past three days, as confirmed before.

knew.

Magda sat in the carriage with her eyes closed and rested, she was not surprised by such news. After getting the confirmation, Derby felt relieved. Riding on his horse, he waved to his subordinates and said simply, Go directly to the west city gate.

Yes, my lord.

The team turned around and marched for a few more minutes, the noise of the carriages echoed a little because it was close to the tall city walls. Derby rode on his horse and looked around—three lazy soldiers were standing guard in front of the open city gate not far away. The torches used for lighting were stuck on the city wall, and seemed to be about to go out after burning for a long time. There was a peculiar smell of horse dung from the post station near the city gate. Farmers who were driving to the market from nearby villages were passing through the city gate. Occasionally, a few soldiers thought they were unfamiliar, and made a lot of noise. Those who were dragged to pay a few copper coins in tax were allowed to pass...

Everything in front of him was no different from what he had imagined. With Derby's keen observation ability, he didn't find any abnormal situation worthy of vigilance.

Lord Magda...

You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing. It's just a few trivial things. Just go to the city and finish it early.

A cold and emotionless voice came from inside the carriage. Although no tone could be heard, the slight sense of reprimand still made Derby a little nervous—he wanted to end this task as soon as possible, so he hurriedly let the team speed up slightly. up the speed.

The one in front! Where did it come from? Is it a caravan?

When a large team approached the city gate, it immediately attracted the attention of a soldier at the gate. Derby was relieved by the other party's yelling - he replied with a unique accent in the northwest of the kingdom: We are from the 'Jite Firm'. !

Stop the caravan! Don't squeeze in all at once! Do you have a letter of introduction from the chamber of commerce?

The soldiers walking over were flabbergasted, and their swaying posture looked like a third-rate soldier who was not paid by the army, but Derby knew that this type of man was the most difficult to deal with, so he quickly got off his horse and took out three silver coins with a polite face. , without a trace and handed the letter of introduction to the other party.

The soldier pondered for a moment, his greedy eyes suddenly lit up, nodded, patted Derby on the shoulder and said: The letter is fine, I will let you go there immediately, but in the past three days, His Excellency the Duke has clearly ordered a strict investigation. , you also understand...

I see…

Derby stuffed three more silver coins in the past, and the other party immediately smiled and made an expression of you are very good, then turned around, and shouted at the city gate: Hey, hey, give way to this team! Delors! Ruger! Go and chase those blind men out of the way!

Thank you for taking care of me!

Thank you politely, Derby was about to let the team in,

Turning his head, he saw the soldier looking towards the carriage, and quickly explained: That's the vice president of our chamber of commerce...he has a weird temper, and I have been scolded a lot along the way, look...

Oh, it's okay, I'm just curious.

Waving his hand, the soldier pointed to the inside of the city gate and said, By the way, the lord has an award ceremony today. The army has put a part of the streets under martial law. Some roads cannot be walked. I will go to the front for you. Point out the way, save trouble when the time comes—”

Then thank you very much!

After some hypocritical politeness, Derby felt that these human beings were really greedy—if a few silver coins were dropped, they would look like different people... If he threw a few hundred gold coins, would this guy be able to work hard for himself?

The messy nonsensical thoughts made him laugh out loud, but the soldier who had walked to the front and led the way would not notice his contemptuous chuckle. Derby looked up at the tall city wall and the peaceful Street, I can't help but think of the result of the Duke's assassination and death...

It is estimated that there will be chaos in the city for a few days immediately, those weak humans are really fragile.

The marching team did not show any abnormalities from the beginning to the end. The originally silent mercenaries were talking and laughing at this moment. After slowly passing through the city gate, the whole team turned around under the leadership of that soldier. On a slightly narrow street.

Derby looked around, because it was only dawn, and there were very few people on the road, and because of the soldiers driving away just now, the caravan was almost completely empty at this time, and the windows and doors of the houses on both sides were tightly closed , only the guy who led the way and his two other companions called Soderol and Rug were left in the field of vision.

With Derby's keen sense of hearing, he vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes and footsteps in the distance, but the guy in front also said that it was just the Duke's preparations for the award ceremony, and it had nothing to do with him at all...

Derby, who was led into a misunderstanding by inertial thinking, never thought that everything was just an illusion created by the soldier in front of him.

Rody looked back at the team following behind him. The titles on the heads of these guys in his vision were all orange red, and the guy in the lead was even more bright red—so from the first moment they appeared, Rody was basically sure These guys are the expected undead assassins!

When unprepared, it is difficult for human beings to find undead in disguise like Mel, but if they really look for it with suspicion, this kind of camouflage is actually not without traces - Luo, who has an environmentally sensitive fighting posture Di has confirmed through a few minutes of monitoring...all the people in front of him have not breathed at all.

Roughly counting the levels and numbers of these people, Rody smiled and chatted with the mercenaries in front of him, but he kept leading them into the prepared road without stopping, and his face turned slightly serious as he glanced into the distance Soderol and Luge, he made a gesture of identity confirmation calmly, then stopped and said: Everyone, just keep going forward, and I will lead the way here.

Thank you so much!

Derby greeted Rody with a smile, and then followed the team and continued to move forward - Roddy swaggered past the team, then trotted and shouted into the distance: Go back and see if there is any tax evasion Yes! Your Excellency Duke’s orders cannot be neglected!”

Others heard this as a very natural sentence, but after hearing this sentence, Suo Deluoer, who was a hundred meters away, immediately picked up the bow and arrow beside him, hitched a Ming Dy arrow and shot it into the sky go out!

The sharp whistle immediately rang through the deserted streets, causing Derby and everyone in the caravan to turn their heads.

What is this...

Derby on the horse didn't realize what it meant at all, but in the next moment, the sudden sound of undisguised footsteps made him feel something was wrong—and just at this time, the mercenary in front of the team looked at him. Turning the road after a bend, he suddenly turned around and shouted: My lord! There is...a dead end ahead!

What did you say?!

Derby pulled the reins suddenly, and then heard a muffled sound coming from a distance. He turned his head, but saw that the west city gate was...closed!

not good!

He immediately cursed, turned over and jumped off the horse. At the same moment, the closed doors and windows around them suddenly opened, and at least fifty short bows pointed their arrows at his team.

put!

Damn—

He only had time to turn over and jump off the horse, when he heard a large group of arrows whizzing past his ears, and all kinds of sounds after the body, wooden carriage and stone road were hit by metal arrows suddenly rang out!

Although all the members are undead who can ignore the pain and injury, the arrows equipped with armor-piercing arrows still caused them great trauma, and even caused seven or eight people to fall directly to the ground and die. no way to get up...

This is just the first wave of arrows, the second wave and the third wave came almost one second apart. Obviously, these shooters have at least two groups of members in rotation—in just four seconds, the thirty More than two hundred arrows were poured into the caravan of the people who came, and the entire team was drowned by this terrifying arrow rain in just one meeting.

Most of the undead who drew their swords to fight back in a hurry were directly shot into the appearance of hedgehogs. Due to the terrain constraints, most of them didn't even have a place to hide, and could only watch the arrows shot from all directions piercing their bodies...

These undead are not weak. Except for Derby, each of the remaining undead is above the basic level of 15, and four of them have the level of advanced professional level 5. If it is in the past, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist. His tyrannical role——but war is not a one-on-one duel. Roddy didn't intend to talk about morality from the beginning. At this time, he just used the crowd tactics to block the opponent here!

Derby, who was hiding between the horses and the carriage, immediately understood that he was being counted. He wanted to scold and resist, but under such suppression of firepower, even he couldn't go out to resist—but when the arrow rain gradually weakened, , he still shouted loudly: Get out of here!

As soon as the words fell, his body suddenly jumped sideways, and the rest of the undead immediately moved together with him - now you can immediately see the difference between the undead and humans... A large number of undead who were not shot at the vital point unexpectedly brought Standing up with arrows all over his body, he rushed out of the alley with a roar!
