French knight lord: I have a skill panel

Chapter 129 Ambush and Annihilation

Three days later, at the western border of the Volo Valley, the caravan of the House of Witte was sitting in the pavilion built by the house, silently waiting for Mayor Malcolm's caravan.

Baron Adair couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that this was the fourth trade trip this month.

"Father, you can think of how wise it is to cooperate with Mayor Malcolm to do business with the evil orcs. Our trade volume this month is more than ten times that of last month." Baron Adair sincerely praised his father. .

During this period of time, their House of Witte has been crazily suppressed by the House of Saldin, and it has been difficult for them to move forward in Volo City.

Although they also have shops in Black Rock City, for unknown reasons recently, even the Arnold family has been suppressing them intentionally or unintentionally, and has caused trouble for their own family through various methods such as collecting taxes and fines.This made Baron Adair feel extremely uncomfortable.

Later, judging from the intelligence obtained by his father, the Arnold family actually chose to support Saldin in the struggle between the Saldin and Brad families.

After hearing the news, Baron Adair and his father were even more frightened.I am very worried that even the business in Black Rock City will be lost.Fortunately, Black Rock City did not kill everyone. It seemed that it was just using this method to express its position.So the Werther House has been lingering like this.

According to Baron Adair's past style, when faced with this kind of predicament, he will definitely try every means to seek revenge.But now he no longer dares to have any thoughts in this regard.

Now, even a fool knows that Saldin is no longer someone they can afford to offend.His attitude towards Saldin changed from initial contempt, to hostility, to hatred, and finally to the point where he now dares not look directly at him.

Baron Adair was extremely grateful to his father for his warning, which prevented him from doing something stupid that would lead to his own death.

What he admired most about his father was that he actually chose to cooperate with Mayor Malcolm and found a project that was more profitable than the previous one.That is the trade cooperation with the evil orcs.

The profits generated by this cross-border trade exceeded Baron Adair's imagination.This made him feel confident again, and he complimented his father from the bottom of his heart.

Old Adair's consciousness was very clear. He looked at the wall of Woluo City in the distance and said softly: "Do you still remember what my father told you? Risk and profit are always corresponding. Maier Mayor Ken has been so desperate to transport goods to the Grizzly Bear Fortress controlled by the evil orcs during this period. More importantly, he has also transported a lot of soft goods back to his hometown. Something important must be happening soon, but We just don’t realize it yet.”

Baron Adair was shocked and immediately said: "Father, what do you mean, are the evil orcs going to attack the North again?"

Old Adair glanced at his son, shook his head and said: "Isn't this the lice on the bald head? It's obvious? Evil orcs are born to plunder, will it be okay if he doesn't attack our Kingdom of Clay? But we don't have to worry about these, they We can't break through the Thirteen Mountains Fortress Group. Last year, we didn't even break through the Lion Heart Castle. To take a step back, even if they break through, we will have plenty of time to escape from the Woluo Valley. As long as we have money, we can go anywhere without panic. "

"Then what is father worried about?" Baron Adair asked.

"Family and national affairs have nothing to do with us." Old Adair said: "What I'm worried about is the knighting ceremony for Saldin that will be held in Volo City in a few days. That was held by Mayor Malkan personally for Saldin. Activity."

"What does father mean?" Baron Adair was a little confused and didn't know what the connection was between the two.

Old Adair glanced at Baron Adair angrily.It seems that some people hate iron but cannot become steel.However, he still explained patiently: "The knighting ceremony has started before, and Mayor Malkan is frantically transferring his property. Couldn't you imagine that this is the mayor trying to avoid certain risks in the future?"

Baron Adair was a little stunned and said: "What risk? It's just a knighthood, what's the risk? I was knighted back then, and I went to the royal city to receive it. I don't know how much more impressive than Saldin, and it was donated by you yourself, father." Where’s the money?”

Old Adair sighed slightly and decided not to talk nonsense to his son.

He vaguely felt that there must be some crisis coming, otherwise Mayor Malcolm would not be able to transfer properties one after another in such a short period of time.

The only thing that will happen in the near future is Saldin's knighting ceremony.

Could it be that Mayor Malcolm is going to be detrimental to Saldin?Are these two forces going to fight at the knighting ceremony?
Mayor Malcolm shouldn't be so crazy, right?Maybe there is some help?
Old Adair was a little confused. When he saw the convoy in front of him finally leaving the west city of Volo City, he shook his head, put aside these chaotic thoughts for the time being, and stepped forward to greet them.

The trade these days has made both parties somewhat familiar.The escorts were still those from the Guards Battalion, the mayor's confidants, plus the rotating staff of the Guards Battalion.

After counting and handing over the goods, Old Adair discovered that this shipment was a batch of magic iron ore and bin iron ore.

In the past, these things were considered high-quality products.But recently, a lot of high-priced grain has been shipped, and Old Adair has become a little disdainful of the fact that the profits are not as good as grain, and the transportation is also very laborious.

However, in this matter, Witte House only plays a transportation role and has no qualifications to be picky at all.

So Old Adair bowed and took the bill, gave the knights in the Guards Battalion some gold coins as usual, and then made a gesture of sending them off respectfully.

The men from the Guards Battalion took the gold coins and were about to leave. Hardy in the team suddenly said: "There has been some instability recently. How about we send more coins to the front."

"What's wrong?" the first knight captain of the Guards Battalion said disapprovingly.

"There are a lot of goods today, and I'm afraid that the Huo Fei Brothers will come and cause trouble. Last time they were at this location, and Firefox Trading Company was robbed by them once," Hardy said.

Old Adair wanted to get some key information from them, so he also said: "Yes, it has been very uneasy recently. Since we stopped going from the Odo Canyon in the north, the bandits of the Hofei Brotherhood have lost some sources. It has become more and more tyrannical, and it did come and plunder some time ago.”

The first captain thought for a moment, nodded, and said to Hardy: "It's hard for you to still have such a responsible mind, so let's send it forward."

With that said, under the guidance of the House of Witte, the people from the Guards Battalion followed them around, and the group walked forward in a mighty manner.

During the march, Old Adair began to consciously talk to the generals of the Guards Battalion, but no one paid attention to him.

After walking for a while, the bifurcated road is not far ahead. At that time, part of it will go to the south where Malkan's hometown is, and part of it will go to the north where the Grizzly Bear Fortress occupied by the evil orcs is located.

It is absolutely impossible for Mayor Malcolm's cronies to let other people in the Guards Battalion know that these goods are actually going to the Evil Orc Ministry.So they waved their hands to signal the team to stop.

The first captain was just about to turn the team back when he heard a loud rumbling sound and a wall of earth was raised on the road behind him.

Immediately afterwards, ten archers suddenly appeared from behind the wall. They leaned on the earth wall, bent their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at everyone in the Guards Camp and the House of Witte.

"Why did these people appear out of thin air?" The captain was a little confused.

Then, he suddenly realized that these people had taken the invisibility potion in advance.What kind of force can allow these archers to have an invisibility potion in their hands? Are they using it as water to drink?

Before he had time to think about it, a wall of earth and a group of archers suddenly appeared on the left side.

The captain realized that the enemy was well prepared and that the opponent's manpower was definitely far more than the archers he saw in front of him. He immediately raised his hand and pointed towards the front of the convoy.

Suddenly, everyone began to sprint forward.Old Adair had already realized that something was wrong and didn't even care about the convoy. He pulled his son and rushed forward.

However, before he took two steps, he saw Romo Saldin standing upright in the middle of the road.He was wearing brown and black leather armor, with two long swords shining with magical light hanging from his waist. He looked heroic.

Seeing this man appear, everyone stopped and stepped back involuntarily.

In their opinion, Saldin was much more intimidating than the archers.

Adair and his son looked at Saldin blankly.At this moment, there was no hatred in their eyes, but a deep fear.

Ever since he learned that Saldin had killed Earl Brad, every time Baron Adair dreamed back at midnight, what he was thinking about was how to face Saldin's reckoning.

Now facing Saldin for real, Baron Adair couldn't help but kneel down. He cried and begged Romo: "Lord Saldin, please let us go. Okay, I just wanted to be yours." It’s just a rejuvenation potion business, and the crime will not lead to death.”

However, Luo Mo didn't even look at him, he just stared at the generals of the Guards Battalion.

"We are the generals of the Guards Battalion of Volo City, the troops of the Kingdom of Clay. Lord Saldin, are you crazy? Do you want to openly confront the City Hall?" The captain of the Guards Battalion suddenly shouted loudly.

"I don't want to resist openly." Luo Mo said with a smile: "So I am going to secretly kill you all. The dead will not reveal the secret."

The captain gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Everyone, break out freely according to your location! Don't save each other, and don't hesitate! Everyone's goal: break out and survive!"

With Saldin here, he no longer thinks about defeating them at this moment. He only hopes to break out one or two and go to Volo City to report the news.

Lord Sardin openly attacked the guard camp of Volo City, which was no different from a rebellion.This message must get out.

"Too naive." Luo Mo sneered, raised Mo Yuan's hand high on his waist, and said silently in his heart: "The dark night is coming."

The next moment, a dark night like thick ink enveloped everything around him.

Suddenly, bows and arrows shot out.Along with bows and arrows, there are a series of magics such as fireball, arcane missiles, frost blast and so on.

The melee ended quickly and the darkness faded.There were corpses lying near the convoy. Whether it was the Guards Battalion or the House of Witte, they were all killed.

Only Hardy survived being pulled into the dirt by Boyle.

At this moment, he was sent back to the ground by Boyle. Looking at his former colleagues who died from different magics around him, Hardy could no longer bear it and began to vomit violently.

"Can you still move?" Luo Mo asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Lomo's voice, Hardy felt as if he heard a death chant. He immediately swallowed back the vomit that had not yet been vomited. He stood up straight and said to Lomo in a trembling voice: "My lord, I can still move."

"Very good." Lomo nodded and said to Hardy: "Go back and report to Mayor Malcolm that the convoy was attacked at the west fork of the city. The two sides fell into a melee. I hope the mayor can provide support as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, I'm going right now!" Hardy hurriedly walked towards the city, and even fell down in his haste.

Lomo stepped forward, personally helped Hardy up, and said sternly in his ear: "Adjust your emotions, and only succeed, not fail. If you succeed, I can arrange for your family to move to Sa City, and let you stay there." Sacheng has its own house. But if they fail, they will be greeted by fish and shrimps in the Volo River."

Hardy calmed down after listening to Lomo's words. He kept adjusting his emotions and imagining what he should say to gain Mayor Malcolm's trust.

He bowed to Lomo and immediately ran towards Volo City, quickly disappearing from sight.

While Romo ordered the goods in the car to be transported back to the Saldin Manor along with the car, he also ordered the combatants to ambush again.

After waiting for a long time, I did not wait for Hardy's return.

Soon, someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau in the city sent word that Hardy had entered Malcolm's house and never came out again.

Come to think of it, his poor acting skills did not deceive Milken, and he should have been killed by Milken.

After receiving this information, Lomo was not surprised and ordered the troops to withdraw together.

On the way back, Yale came over and said regretfully: "Sir, Mayor Malcolm was not fooled. There are some flaws. That Hardy is really a waste and can't achieve anything big."

"Being able to eliminate his cronies this time has basically achieved the strategic goal." Luo Mo said solemnly.

He thought silently in his heart that he failed to lure Malcolm out this time. I am afraid that he will stay in his mansion until he is knighted.

So are you going to attend the knighthood ceremony next?
If he goes, Lomo has limited information, and it is difficult to know what kind of foreign aid Mayor Malkan will have.But if he doesn't go, Mayor Malcolm will definitely exaggerate his extreme contempt for the kingdom and refuse to be knighted, which will inevitably cause a crisis of confidence in the cabinet and lose certain political resources.

After thinking about it, Luo Mo actually hesitated.

Immediately, his eyes became sharp.Seeing that the evil orcs are about to attack again, if you don't even dare to handle a knighthood ceremony and are timid, how can you compete with the evil orcs?
'I'm sure of this Baron Saldin! ' Luo Mo thought silently in his heart.
