Chapter 187 The Enemy Is Coming
Duke, the leader of the Wildcat Thieves, didn't know that all his movements were being observed by Yu Fei. He still followed the caravan slowly, not far away from the caravan, so that he would not be discovered by the caravan members, but he could also observe the caravan's situation vaguely.
Time passed by little by little, and it had been four or five hours since the caravan left Kuroki City. Although everyone had rested during the day, everyone felt a little tired and sleepy at this time. Especially those adventurers who had just been recruited in Kuroki City, they did not rest during the day, and they were already yawning at this time.
Yu Fei kept spreading his mental power around. He knew that if the Blood Tiger Thieves Group was going to attack the caravan, now was the best time. Although Yu Fei had nothing to fear even if the thieves group launched a sneak attack, he didn't like the feeling that things were not under his control. So he kept paying attention to the Wildcat Thieves Group following the caravan. As the eyes of the Blood Tiger Thieves Group, if the Blood Tiger people were going to launch an attack, Duke and his men would definitely say something.
Suddenly, Yu Fei felt that his carriage had stopped. Hmm? What happened? Concentrating on sensing, Yu Fei found that the entire caravan had stopped. With Eric's shouting, the guys in the caravan were busy, and Yu Fei was also respectfully invited out by a smart guy.
After the caravan stopped, the carriages were placed around the crowd, and the guys in the caravan began to set up tents. Is this going to set up camp? Yu Fei suddenly realized. Then Eric's shouting really confirmed Yu Fei's guess, and he ordered to set up camp.
Of course, everyone had no objection to Eric's order. Both the caravan members and the hired adventurers were a little sleepy, and it would be great to be able to rest. Yu Fei thought about it for a while and understood Eric's intention. Eric was not stupid to be the head of such a large caravan, and he could also think that if the Blood Tiger Bandits were going to attack the caravan, they would definitely choose the early morning when people were tired.
Originally, it was expected that the strength of the caravan might not be as good as the troops sent by the Blood Tiger to plunder. If they started fighting when their own side was in low spirits, it would be easier to fall into trouble. After setting up camp, in addition to allowing everyone to get some rest, the circle formed by the carriages can also be used as a defensive line.
Although this carriage is not very strong, it can also prevent the enemy from attacking. As for the daytime, in this flat place, if someone wants to attack, they can see it from a distance, so there is no need to be afraid.
Alas~~ Yu Fei sighed. Because he heard from Duke that the Blood Tiger was not going to attack tonight, and it seemed that there would be no action tomorrow night. Then Eric's actions were in vain, and it even delayed the time for the caravan to reach the destination.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. The arrangement of the itinerary is Eric's own business. All I have to do is to protect the caravan when the bandit group really attacks. Yu Fei, who went out for a day, lay down comfortably in the single tent arranged by Eric and fell asleep.
With the Holy Giant Wolf guarding outside the tent and the Watcher Maiev protecting him inside the tent, Yu Fei slept very peacefully. However, when the sky was getting light, he woke up automatically. With Yu Fei's current strength, he would naturally not oversleep. When the time came, he would wake up naturally, even if he slept deeply before.
After a morning of trekking, the caravan arrived at a small city again. This time, Eric did not recruit adventurers again. The caravan only stopped for a while, replenished some food and water, and then left the city. It seems that Eric is ready to switch and return to the normal state of traveling during the day and resting at night.
This is also good. The thieves should not launch an attack during the day. Although the camp formed by the carriages at night is not very strong, it has certain advantages in defense. Perhaps, there is no need to expose the strength of the Yunxiao level to save this caravan. Anyway, the Holy Giant Wolf can also show the strength of the fifth-level magic beast.
The whole afternoon was spent on the road, and the caravan camped and rested at night. Yu Fei, who was lying in the tent, suddenly looked stern. He had detected the plan of the Blood Tiger Bandits with his spiritual power scattered around Duke.
Duke ordered his men to inform all the people of the Wildcat Bandits who were monitoring the caravan to be more careful during this period, and the Blood Tigers would launch an offensive tomorrow night. Well, it seems that I can sleep well tonight, and tomorrow night is the time for fighting~~
Another day of traveling, and finally it was the night when Yu Fei detected the Blood Tiger Bandits' attack. Well, it seems that I should remind Eric? Seeing that Eric was nice to him, Yu Fei asked the caravan man who drove his carriage to call Eric to his tent. With the identity of a golden mage, if Yu Fei took the initiative to find Eric, it would seem a bit unworthy.
Hearing the caravan man tell him that the golden mage in the team wanted to see him, Eric did not dare to be negligent and quickly came to Yu Fei's tent. "Mr. O'Brien, do you have something to talk to me about?" Eric asked straight to the point after arriving at Yu Fei's tent.
"Well, Mr. Eric, don't be anxious. Please sit down first." After Eric sat down, Yu Fei looked slightly thoughtful and said, "Mr. Eric, you also know that I It's a mage. Okay, let me tell you the truth. Through some methods of the mage, I found out that the Blood Tiger Bandits are going to attack the caravan tonight."
Hearing Yu Fei solemnly tell the news, Eric didn't say anything to confirm whether the news was true or false. Firstly, there is no certainty about this kind of thing, and secondly, if I have doubts, I might make Yu Fei, the golden mage, unhappy.
Eric, who looked solemn, said that he hoped Yu Fei could do his best in the battle, and then hurriedly exited Yu Fei's tent and arranged for defense. Yu Fei, on the other hand, stayed peacefully in his tent and spread his mental power over a dozen kilometers in radius to prevent sneak attacks from the Blood Tiger Bandits.
While Eric's caravan was nervously preparing to deal with the attack by the bandits, some people were quietly lurking in a depression twenty kilometers away from Eric's caravan camp.
These people were all dressed in black, lying quietly in the grass in the depression. Suddenly, three long and one short low whistles came from outside the depression. These men in black seemed to be well-trained and did not make any noise. Only the man in black lying at the front carefully moved out of the depression and whistled softly, three short and one long.
Then, the grass in front of the man in black was seen shaking, and a short and lean man appeared in front of the man in black. Before the man could speak, the man in black said coldly: "Is that caravan stationed?" Under the dim moonlight. You can see that the newly appeared man has a wild cat embroidered on his clothes. He should be a member of the Wild Cat Thieves Group.
The man opened his mouth to speak when he saw the man in black, but was interrupted by the man in black. He felt a little dissatisfied, but it didn't show on his face. Hearing the cold tone of the man in black, he replied stiffly: "Yes, it's right next to the official road about 20 kilometers west of here." The man in black pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Then you check Have you found out the specific escort strength of this caravan?”
The new man quickly replied: "The situation is the same as the last report, there are no new changes. There is still a gold mage, five silver masters, about fifty bronze-level professionals, and the others are all black. The total number of iron or trainee-level professionals is more than 300 but less than 350."
"Humph!" The man in black suddenly let out an angry roar. "How stupid! You stupid cats, can't you feel the aura of the golden mage's pet, the fifth-level monster?" "Ah?" A look of shock appeared on the face of the new man. "Is this true? That mage's magic pet is on the same level as him? This, we really don't know."
After a moment of silence, the man in black's face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, I don't blame you. The aura of Warcraft is inherently obscure. If you don't get close, it will be difficult to detect its strength. If it weren't for the caravan." The man in black didn't finish what he said, but a light flashed in the capable man's eyes.
Then, the man in black said: "This time you wild cats can be regarded as a little bit of surveillance - although it's nothing without you. Well, after our blood tiger plunders, you can clean up the battlefield, and then you can I’ll give it to you as much as I can get it!”
The words of the man in black seemed to be very heroic, but the capable man was actually cursing secretly in his heart. "Excuse me! Who doesn't know that you Blood Tigers never leave any chickens or dogs behind when you take action, and you also clean up the battlefield, and it's not certain whether the land will still exist or not!" When the man in black said the above words, although he seemed very nervous on the surface. The bold, but capable man could clearly see the flash of disdain in the eyes of the man in black.
The capable man was a little angry. The Blood Tiger people really looked down on us so much! Hum, there will be something good for you in the future! Although various thoughts were swirling in his heart, the capable man remained calm on the surface and dealt with the man in black according to what the leader taught him: "No, no, no, our leader said, we Wildcats are originally vassals of the Blood Tiger. For Blood Tiger should provide information, how dare you covet even a little bit of Blood Tiger's gains? Just clean up the battlefield and all, please do what you want. "
