Chapter 143: The curtain opens
Not long after Count Tarahan led the people out of the city, a short, thin bard who looked nothing special also left the city alone.
"The stories I've collected these days are enough. It's time for me to go back to my hometown and write some new songs."
As he said so, he said goodbye to the friends who were sent to the city gate, carrying a small luggage, and walked alone along the southward road.
After walking for a while, he shouted, "Ah, ah, my stomach hurts", and ran into the forest by the road.
It's just... when he went, it was like disappearing into the forest, and no one saw him again.
Standing beside a big tree, Erica buried the bard's full outfit underground, carefully handling the traces so that they couldn't be seen at all.
She has changed her appearance again now, and has become a soldier of medium stature, wearing a light leather armor of the Tara Khan standard, a sword on her waist, and a crossbow on her back. It is the Tara Khan guerrilla. standard attire.
Around the city of Tarakhan, many of these guerrillas patrolled day and night. Although they may not be strong, but because of regular returns, as long as one is missing, they will soon be discovered, just like a layer of paper windows, don't look at it and it will break, but if you see a hole, who will pay Don't understand something got in?
This errand is hard and dangerous. Soldiers have always regarded it as a dreadful way. Only those who are unlucky, or who are skilled enough, will do this kind of work.
Erica was of course pretending to be a relatively unlucky guerrilla soldier. The leather armor on his body was a little old, and it was damaged in several inconspicuous places. He was obviously the kind of person who was unhappy. Look at the wrinkles on his face and the pale hair on the temples, at least forty. To be a guerrilla at this age, it can be seen that he must not be doing well.
A guerrilla like this, walking in the forest, will not have any doubts. Even those with malicious intentions would not attack him - such a small person, killing him would not cause any loss to Tarakhan, nor would he gain any benefit, so why waste his energy.
Erica was very careful and checked herself up and down several times to make sure that there were no flaws before turning around and leaving.
But she never thought that from the moment she left the city, there were two eyes in the sky, staring at her.
"Hey! The fraudster Erica is indeed capable, and it only took a minute or so to change her appearance. If we hadn't been staring at her, I'm afraid she would have slipped away!" Lao Liu The roaring laughter, even in the sky, was very harsh.
Little Eggplant frowned: "Uncle Liu, can't you be quieter?"
"The wind is strong in the sky, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear it if the voice is too low."
"...You know that I don't like this kind of voice, but you are bullying me on purpose."
Old Liu, who was pierced by his thoughts, laughed twice and hurriedly changed the subject: "What do you think Erica is doing? Is she going to that valley? How did she know the location of that valley?"
The little eggplant shook his head: "Who knows, probably from the guards of the Earl's House or something."
"The guards at the Earl's Palace are not so tight-lipped?"
"Erica's methods are amazing. After all, she is the final boss of Tarakhan's story. If we hadn't intervened, the Earl's family would not be her opponent at all. It's not that easy to keep secrets in front of her!"
Lao Liu thought for a while and nodded slightly.
This is indeed the truth. Erica is more powerful than Earl Tarahan. In the game, she almost destroyed the entire city of Tarahan by herself, and the Tarahan family almost died. . Now, although the Count is wary, it is easier said than done when he wants to keep the secret completely in front of her!
Not to mention Earl Tarahan, even the traversers, if it wasn't for the coincidence of the panda to see through her disguise, they would never have been able to find her trace, let alone take effective precautions.
Earl Tarahan didn't have any special precautions. She was secretly spied on and successfully stole the information. What's so strange?
At this moment, if they hadn't been staring at the sky, Erica would have easily escaped their sight and turned into the dark again.
While the two discussed, they also sent Erica's news to their companions. Everyone who got the news couldn't help but look at each other and laugh. There was a feeling that the big play was opening and the actors were appearing one after another.
"From the results of their monitoring, Erica should plan to go around the top of the valley and start monitoring." Looking at the sand table map, Wu Mian pointed to a location, "The terrain here is high and the field of vision is wide. If there is no accident, She would choose to hide here."
"It's delivered to your door." Panda said.
As he said, if Erica really chooses that place to hide, she will indeed bring it to her door.
Because this location is where they are now discussing issues.
If Erica came here, wouldn't it?
But Erica has not arrived yet, and Earl Tarakhan has already arrived.
When the news came, Wu Mian took the troublemaker to greet him, and the two parties exchanged a fake greeting.
The Count seemed to be kind enough to ask the travelers if they needed help. He said that he had brought all the elite cavalry from Tara Khan this time, and he must completely eradicate the dangerous elements who sacrificed to the devil, and also gave Tara Khan a bright sky. .
Of course the traversers refused. The Count is really hypocritical. This cavalry was just transferred from him halfway. Although the number is large, the combat effectiveness is very tragic. I am afraid that it is pure cannon fodder. And his real elite troops had already been dispatched in advance, and before the detour, they were ambushed at the entrance on the other side of the valley.
The Count's actions are conceivable.
The count was not surprised by the refusal of the passers-by. He confirmed the time for the joint attack with everyone, and turned his head away with the troops.
Watching him go away, Wumian snorted coldly and said, "This old fox can almost win an Oscar! If we didn't see him bring out a real elite before, I'm afraid I would have thought that he planned to use This group of cavalry is going to fight the devil to the death."
"This group of cavalry with an average level of no more than 15 has an egg!" Long Biao said angrily, "If you really face the devil, do you want to die?"
"It's always useful, for example, to surround and hunt down or something."
"Surrounding? Chasing and killing? I don't know who is besieging who, who is chasing who!" Horus stroked his golden beard and said with a sneer, "I'm really looking forward to seeing him find out that he was the one who fell in. What's the look on your face when you're trapping your prey?"
They chatted for a while, and after receiving a message from the Air Force scouts, they activated a magic circle that had been prepared.
With the activation of the magic circle, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the center of the valley...
