Chapter 41 Pray for luck on our side
Whether this plan can succeed or not, to be honest, Ai Luo doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
Will a warrior who has been on the battlefield for a long time fall into his own little scheme? What if his acting is not good and there is a flaw, and what if he is caught out?
Although he spent a lot of money to perform this play, even though he was educated that "the battle on the battlefield is the continuation of the political battle, and the political battle is the continuation of the financial battle."
It stands to reason that whichever side spends more money on fighting and spends it more reasonably will have a greater chance of victory.
But let's get back to it, look at the ten people in the Iron Wolf Guild who are all equipped with weapons, helmets, and even boots. As the guild leader, Wolfe's backpack is even more full.
Emergency props, right? Aren't these also battle expenses? In terms of money spent on this battle, this Wolf spent no less than himself.
So, he really has no confidence.
If all of his plans and arrangements turn out to be just a clumsy scam by a fledgling young girl, then tonight... may really be the day of his death.
"President!"
While speeding up, Brad behind him couldn't bear it anymore and ran up to ask -
"What is going on? Who are we trying to save?"
"Saving Cream is also saving ourselves."
After that, Ai Luo briefly stated his analysis of the Iron Wolf Guild and finally said——
"The Iron Wolf Guild will never give up. After they kill Jilian, their next target will be our guild. That Merlin will not allow too many people to know the fact that gold mines can really be produced in that mine. And kill us.
After that, his next goal is probably to destroy the Iron Wolf Guild. But before that, we have to save ourselves first."
Coco hugged the dead branches and accelerated her pace. She was panting as she ran, and the dark red cloak behind her kept fluttering as she ran. It did look a bit weird.
"But...Brother President, why...don't you tell us the truth? And...what is your plan this time? I don't quite...understand..."
After running out of Pelican Town, the Shining Forest to the east seems to be right in front of you.
Ai Luo slowed down his pace so that the two of them could maintain enough energy to cope with the next thing. While walking quickly, he said: "The reason why I didn't accept Ji Lian's commission last night was because, on the one hand, I really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity."
Let me tell you two something. Our guild is not a mercenary, and we must not open up the word 'killing' casually. You must remember this at any time and at any time."
"On the other hand, if you want to deceive your enemies, you must first deceive your own people. Wolfe is a cunning wolf. Just hearing the description of his ferocity is enough to make my scalp numb. If I want to defeat him, I must
We need to create an opportunity where he absolutely underestimates the enemy and we are fully prepared."
"So I won't tell you what I think. Wolfe seemed to really believe what I said just now. In order to prevent Cream from running too far, they will go after Cream first and then come back after killing Cream.
Kill us. Wolf thought he would give us a 'surprise' tonight, so we must give him a 'surprise' first."
Approaching the forest, Airl stopped first, pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After confirming that there was no ambush near the forest, he took a deep breath.
"Be careful of the traps I set. Do you know the marks?"
Coco and Brad nodded, and Ai Luo immediately took out the four bottles of potions from his pocket, gave one bottle of magic aerosol to Coco, and kept the other three bottles for himself, making sure that he could take them out and throw them at the target he needed treatment at any time.
After everything is ready...
"Let's go!"
The Mermaid Song Guild enters the forest. This will be their first guild battle, and they face an enemy whose strength far exceeds theirs!
Can this battle really be won?
Now, we can only hope and be cautious.
————
Entering the forest, Airl cautiously headed to the place where the first trap was laid. At the same time, his ears were not idle. As long as there was any slightest movement, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of nervousness!
Move forward, lower your body, and let the bushes and leaves cover your body.
It was already afternoon, and the slanting sunlight had weakened the flickering lights in the forest. In addition to providing more places to hide, Airl also felt that the shadows here were getting thicker.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Brad, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped. He lay on the ground, turned around and looked nervously at Airl behind him, and made some random gestures.
"(Quietly) The smell of blood...!"
Ai Luo, who was also lying on his stomach, nodded, slowly crawled forward a few steps, and separated from a patch of grass.
Bright red liquid stained the surrounding tree trunks. A member of the Iron Wolf Guild covered his neck and died here with a twisted expression. There was a beast trap stuck on his foot, and he was obviously caught in it.
The trap is killed the moment it becomes incapacitated.
"There are nine more people."
Seeing Iron Wolf's body, Arrow was happy and worried at the same time. This meant that William and Wolfe were probably facing each other head-on. How could he deal with the remaining nine people by himself?
"President, that thing... is here."
While Arrow was observing, Brad on the side gently pushed Arrow's arm.
Arrow looked up and saw two slimes crawling towards this side. It seemed that the smell of blood was always so tempting to monsters.
boom--!
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion from deep in the forest!
Everyone in Mermaid Song couldn't help but turn their heads and looked in the direction of the explosion. The originally quiet forest now seemed as peaceful as ever after the explosion. But if you lowered your head and looked carefully, you could find some slimes.
Climbing towards the direction of the explosion, it seems that you are rushing towards a rich and delicious buffet feast!
"Let's go, we need to speed up."
Brad nodded, took the fang shield from behind, raised the hammer in his hand, and took the lead. Coco also quickly summoned undead soldiers to follow. Buffy flew out of Brad's pocket.
Scouting forward, he soon waved to everyone to advance.
Continuing deeper into the forest, within a few moments, the body of another Iron Wolf Guild member with a trap on his feet fell to the side.
It's just that unlike the last one who was killed with a single blow, this member obviously died after a struggle. What made Ai Luo frown especially was the long sword held in this corpse's hand, which was already stained with
of blood.
"The thief is injured, (Fairy) Parfait! Where are they?!"
Buffy nodded and simply flew out from between the branches into the air. After observing for a while, she quickly returned to Brad's shoulder and raised her finger to point forward: "(Fairy language) It's not far ahead! It's very close."
So close! They don’t know what they’re fighting!”
It seems that the plan has been successful, at least, more than half of it!
Without further ado, Arrow stretched out his hand and put his hand on Brad and Coco's shoulders, and said softly——
"Do you remember what I told you last night about not killing people casually?"
Brad, Coco: "Yes, I still remember."
"Very good. Of course we shouldn't take the initiative to engage in this kind of mercenary work, but..."
Ai Luo patted the two of them heavily on the shoulders and said with a serious face——
"If someone wants to harm us, or even wants to kill us, then we must eliminate him out of self-defense. So, don't feel any psychological pressure. We are self-defense, to save people, and to protect.
All the people and things we hold dear, so this is a good fight!"
Brad's expression, which was still a little solemn at first, suddenly became energetic. He nodded seriously, and the confusion in his heart was completely eliminated! And Coco also squeezed the staff in his hand and nodded with certainty.
"Okay, let's go!"
To boost the morale of his teammates, Ai Luo was the first to leave the grass and move forward. Soon, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger. Screams and curses were faintly heard, but it was obvious that they did not come from
Creamy.
"What the hell! What is going on in this forest? Why are there so many slimes?!"
From a distance, Arrow saw an Iron Wolf member roaring. He raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot. The arrow penetrated the body of a slime and was nailed to the mud behind, but he was unable to stop the slimes around him.
Keep coming towards him.
Taking a closer look, I saw three Iron Wolf members already lying on the ground. The slimes around them were like a tide, constantly rushing towards these Iron Wolf members. Even they were completely unafraid of any attacks and pounced on them like crazy.
to these members.
"Woo...wow!"
One member let out a scream, and two Iron Wolf members who were fighting fiercely with the slime here looked back and saw a larger slime stuck to his back. In just a few seconds, he was covered with a large slime.
A hole had been chewed out of the leather armor, and the pain from the direct erosion of his back muscles made him roll on the ground like crazy.
"Get up! Get up quickly!"
One member wanted to pull him, but before he could get close, the slimes around him rushed at him like a pack of hyenas smelling blood! In an instant, they pinned the Iron Wolf member below.
After a few minutes, the member stopped moving.
"There's something weird in this forest... There's definitely something weird here! Help... Boss! Help!"
The remaining two Iron Wolf members screamed, shaking the weapons in their hands uncontrollably.
Ai Luo squatted behind the grass and looked at the corpses gradually covered with slime. An unbearable feeling emerged in his heart.
But he finally shook his head and suppressed this feeling.
"President...what exactly is going on?"
Brad held up his shield and was shocked when he looked at the slime who passed by him but was completely uninterested in him.
Ai Luo said slowly: "That gold coin finally has an effect."
Brad: "Ah? President, I didn't know that you can even buy slimes with money?"
Arrow ignored him and just continued to observe. More and more slimes were gathering around him, but there was still no trace of the slime king.
Therefore, let’s wait until these two Iron Wolf members fall down.
Arrow is patient, and he knows that patience sometimes provides rewards.
However, patience can sometimes bring unexpected troubles.
Just when a slime jumped on the knee of an Iron Wolf member, a flash of fire flashed through the forest in the distance, grazing the slime with perfect accuracy and burning it until it died of dehydration.
Chapter completed!
