Chapter 131: ambush
If there is an accident in Leo's current status in the Lion Kingdom, it will surely alert countless official institutions of the kingdom.
Even with the background of the Snake Worship Cult, he does not dare to be too arrogant. This is a balance between each other. The murder of the Marquis of the Kingdom in this way is too alarming.
But if it was a covert assassination, Leo's usual trip would be guarding him with astonishing strength.
Under such circumstances, even if the Snake Worship Cult took great pains, it was absolutely impossible to do a covert assassination, and it would be even more troublesome if there were only one number.
Therefore, Leo's trip to the Principality of Brown this time can be said to be one of the few opportunities.
...
"This town of Buluo seems to be quite prosperous." Leo looked around at the scenery and nodded secretly. He didn't expect that this town near the border of the kingdom was a far more ordinary inland town. bustling.
Looking at the bustling caravan, Leo frowned slightly.
"Are these caravans from the Principality of Brown common in your town?" Leo asked the mayor on the side.
"Respected adults, because we are very close to the Principality of Brown, and the kingdom is willing to see each other's trade, there will never be a shortage of merchants from the Principality of Brown in the town.
Most of them will start from our town of Brown and travel to various boundaries within the kingdom. "The old-fashioned mayor said respectfully.
"Then apart from these businessmen, have you ever seen other people who shouldn't be here?" Leo frowned. This town of Buluo has strong liquidity and is extremely prosperous, causing the entire The town is full of fish and dragons, and it is difficult to identify the enemy.
He originally thought that if this town really had an enemy, it would be extremely easy to expose.
But seeing the current situation, even if the Snake Cult really sneaked in, I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult to find out, this is really not a happy thing.
"Respected adults," the mayor frowned slightly, and the middle-aged man on the side stepped forward and muttered a few words, and then the mayor also changed his face and hurriedly said to Leo, "Lord Marquis, a few days ago.
In the small town, people from outsiders poured in one after another, but they were dressed in the clothes of the Eighteen Principalities in the north, but most of them were refugees who fled, and they didn't seem to be guys with a background. "
The Eighteen Principalities of the North?
Leo frowned slightly, why is it still involved in the Eighteen Principalities of the North? No, the Eighteen Principalities of the North, which are the forces near the Ravenland Kingdom, are weak.
Just like the Ice Snow Principality before, it is a force that has almost wiped out the country, and the two princesses have even been captured by the slave trade group.
The eighteen duchies, all of them lacking in strength, formed an alliance in order to deal with the dangers of the mainland, and they were collectively called the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory.
It's just that these small principalities are not strong enough, and they are located in remote areas, so they rarely have a sense of existence on the entire continent, and their citizens rarely appear in the Kingdom of the Lion Realm.
"Hasn't this happened before?" Leo asked with a frown. This kind of situation is quite strange.
"It's very rare. There are very few people in the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory. I think something has changed." The mayor said respectfully.
misfortune……
Leo nodded, and it was understandable. After all, the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory are too weak, and a little bit of wind and waves is enough to cause great changes.
This kind of small principality, if something happened, resulting in a large number of refugees, it does not seem to be difficult to understand.
only……
"Apart from these people, is there anything else strange?" Leo frowned, this was not what he wanted to know.
"Respected adults, what do you mean?" The mayor also felt helpless.
"Lord Marquis, I seem to remember one thing." The middle-aged man glanced at the mayor hesitantly, and then said.
Ok?
When Leo heard the words, he saw that this was a particularly sturdy man, and there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitating.
"You said," Leo looked at the man in front of him with a playful look. This man seemed to think that the mayor would not agree with him, or it might be because of other reasons. All in all, when he opened his mouth, his eyes were not less towards the mayor. Aim there.
"My lord, I'm a hunter in this town of Blo," the man said, "Yesterday when I was hunting, in the Los forest, I found a phenomenon that a large group of people and horses seemed to be gathering.
After I returned to the town yesterday, I informed the mayor of the news, and the mayor also sent a large number of people to investigate, but in the end I found no clues. "
"Huh?" Leo couldn't help frowning slightly and looked at the mayor.
"Respected adults," the mayor was also startled, his expression changed, and he looked at Leo in horror, "I really didn't find any clues from there.
At that time, Elliott also went with me, so I didn't think of it for a while. "
He naturally knew Leo's identity, and knew that he was a big man who could never be offended. Although he was the mayor, he had great authority in the small town of Blo, and Marquis Leo was not his direct lord.
but……
This is the Lord Marquis, the Lord Baron of his own, I am afraid that in front of this Lord, it is no different from what he is doing.
It's only natural that he behaves like this!
Elliot, the middle-aged man, said, "But my lord, I really noticed the movement of a large number of people at that time."
"Los Forest, it's the forest in the east, right?" Leo smiled lightly, looking at Elote in front of him, "What's the terrain like?"
"It's very rugged, and there are countless ancient and miscellaneous trees in the middle, so the line of sight is quite poor." Elote looked directly at Leo and said.
"Well, you can be a tour guide for me, for which you can get a hundred dinars." Leo said to Elliot.
One hundred dinars!
Many people also looked at Elliot with envious eyes. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Orion. They have worked hard for several years, but they may not be able to save such a huge sum of money.
"It is my greatest honor to be able to serve you," Elote said excitedly, staring at the few dinars that Leo gently tossed up and then returned to his hands in his eyes without hesitation.
...
"Sir, do you think what that kid said is true? Is there really an ambush of enemies in Los Forest?" Captain Kari at this time was still curious, he hadn't witnessed the contents of the letter.
But he also asked someone to inquire in private just now. Yesterday, the mayor did send a large number of troops to Loss Forest, and he also found a few people who went with him. They all said that in Loss Forest, no trace was found at all.
Captain Cary was therefore a little dubious about what Elote said.
"Wait for a good show," Leo said with a smile, "I'm a little curious, what did they think?"
them?
Captain Cary stared blankly at Leo's smile. He was a little incomprehensible. Who were Leo referring to?
Are there other people here?
...
"Lord Marquis, the forest of Loss is in front of you." At this time, Elliot was dressed as a hunter, and he looked much more aggressive than yesterday.
Leo followed the direction Elliot pointed, the endless forest in the distance, the dense old trees, for some reason, it made him feel a little more strange.
This is an indescribable feeling, which makes people fear from the heart, but after Leo frowned and asked Captain Cary beside him, he found that the other party did not feel this way at all.
Be careful!
Leo secretly reminded himself in his heart that things were abnormal. His intuition reached the current state. There should be some whims in the rumors. Various perceptions subconsciously remind him of his level through clues.
With such a feeling, the biggest possibility is that there is really a great danger waiting for him ahead.
But... three days of effort?
Leo frowned a little. After all, he also dispatched his subordinates before, and he was convinced that the mayor had indeed dispatched a lot of people, and the townspeople did circle around the Los Forest, looking back and forth. After that, no difference was found.
Of course, this is also the responsibility of the townspeople. The tax revenue of the border towns is far lower than that of the mainland, but the trade exchanges are particularly prosperous, and the people are naturally very rich, but the obligations are relative.
When there is an enemy situation, even if it is the slightest clue, you must go all out. After the news reported by Elote appeared, everyone naturally couldn't slack off, of course, this was also for their own safety.
But since they didn't notice anything in such a short period of time, what can those enemies do here in such a short period of time?
This arrangement, even made him feel a little jealous in the bottom of his heart?
For a time, Leo's heart became more and more solemn.
"It's really weird." At this time, a man in a green long gown appeared beside Leo, who was Uncle Went who had been missing for a long time.
The reason why Leo stayed in the town of Barrow before was naturally to wait for Uncle Vent, who had already made an appointment.
He went to the royal capital first, and Uncle Went set off directly from the marquis and joined him in the town of Buluo. After all, the royal capital had hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Uncle Wente has not recovered yet, so it is better to avoid one or two in the face of the royal capital.
And this time, the Principality of Brown is likely to encounter a crisis, but after all, it is a principality, and it survives in the gap between the two kingdoms. It should not be a big threat to a strong man like Uncle Vent.
"Everyone, pay attention," Leo said in a deep voice, looking at Elliot, "If you go to the Principality of Brown, is there any other way besides going through the Losos Forest?"
"Lord Marquis, this is the most direct road we know of, along the forest road that has been opened up in Los Forest, and then there are some more remote paths, those paths are very narrow, and only forest seekers can cross.
It is difficult for a large group of people to pass, and it will consume a lot of time. ' Elliott said respectfully.
Sure enough... that is to say, I only have to pass through the Loss Forest, and the Snake Cult will block it here, so it is no accident.
"What is that?" At this time, Freya exclaimed.
"Worship the warriors of the Snake Cult, but they are far away from us," Uncle Vent said in a deep voice, "but the number seems to be outrageous."
The number of people is outrageous!
Leo's heart suddenly tightened, Uncle Went said so, one can imagine the number of these snake worship warriors.
"Everyone formed a formation," Leo shouted in a deep voice, "moving towards the giant tree on the right.
Starting there, the infantry leaned forward against the great shield, the archers prepared, and the cavalry dismounted. "
With this sound, many infantrymen surrounded the front one after another, raising their shields, shields in one hand, and spears in the other, while the archers in the back all found a suitable place and raised their long bows. .
The riders dismounted without saying a word, and the magic swordsmen soldiers brought by Captain Kari replaced the infantry of the brigade and defended the other side, ready to charge at all times.
The royal ceremonial officer was on the innermost side. Among the lion guards, Frank led a large number of lion retinues, covering in front of the archers, ready to respond to the infantry at all times.
"The mage team is always ready, don't use spells easily," Leo said in a deep voice.
Many of the Kingdom's etiquette officials, from the original apprehension, carried a little expectation.
Along the way, they have long been very curious about the dozen or so people wearing strange robes.
Although they also maintained the performance of ordinary soldiers in the marquis, such clothes were enough to arouse the curiosity of everyone. They did not have bows and arrows or long knives.
And the weapon in their hand, a long stick, is more like the rumored staff.
These...is it true that they are the rumored magicians?
In fact, in some areas of the kingdom, there are already bards who are praising the mages under the Marquis. This is a kind of bard, and most of them will show things in extremely exaggerated ways to defraud the money.
Therefore, everyone is naturally half-believing and half-unbelieving. This is the result of more and more bards preaching. After all, this thing is really outrageous, the mage in the biography!
And many great nobles can know through their own news channels, but they also know how weak these so-called mages are. Due to Leo's strength, not many people will explore it on the bright side for the time being.
Therefore, the royal etiquette officials, who have some status but no information channels, are naturally quite curious about the group of more than a dozen people If it is really the rumored mage...
For a while, everyone couldn't help but think about it. Although they had met enemies before, they were too weak to let these dozen people take action!
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
The sudden sound of crossbow arrows resounded here, and in this forest, it was particularly astonishing.
duangduang...
With the arrow hitting the shield, it fell to the ground easily, and what gradually emerged in the distance was a thick black line, which was densely packed with snake worship warriors, accompanied by countless cobra warriors!
This number, at least three hundred people!
All the Kingdom etiquette officials instantly numb their scalps and their faces turn pale, and even Leo's eyes became solemn.
