Chapter 11 Internal and External Troubles (3)
"Bastard!! Who opened the city gate? Don't you know that it's an extraordinary time? No matter who it is, no one enters, you idiots!!"
Seeing the suspension bridge of the main city gate that had been strictly prohibited from opening was lowered from afar, the city guard captain rushed to the outer city angrily, intending to scold his subordinates who had not been remembered for a long time, he found a caravan of hundreds rushing in through the gate.
"Shoot the arrow!!"
Worried about being a dark mage or a mercenary hired by the Seventh Prince, Suriname quickly ordered the guards to shoot arrows in an attempt to prevent the caravan from entering the town.
"Shield of Protection!!"
Seeing the city guards using bows and arrows, Moya quickly imposed a spell on the merchants running at the forefront of the team to protect the bows and arrows. Because of the protection of the spell, only a few people were scratched by the arrows.
"Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and treat the wounded."
Seeing the frightened priest staring at the merchants around him and moaning, Moya didn't say a word to remind her as a priest.
The reason why she kindly reminded Lina was mainly to use this to block the next round of attack by the soldiers of Rock Town.
Lina, who had recovered from her consciousness, quickly stepped forward to treat her companions, and her hands gradually emitted a white light with a sacred breath as she prayed in her mouth.
"The goddess in charge of life, please lower the light of kindness and save your people." The simple recovery spell really made the soldiers who had already pulled the bow stop hesitantly.
The reason is very simple. Only clergy from the Church of Light can cast the sacred recovery spell. A team with the Pastor of Light cannot be a partner of the Dark Mage.
Just as Lina was casting her healing spell, a large group of soldiers flashed out from the side door of the outer city, surrounding the terrified merchants.
"Who are you?!"
The city guard captain Suriname shouted loudly and ordered everyone to reveal their identity.
"We're just ordinary caravans."
Sanger hurriedly took out the pass order and handed it to Suriname, who was standing in front of the soldier. While checking, he turned his head and cast a look of help from the black magician who had returned to the horse's back.
This time, Sanger was disappointed.
Obviously, Moya did not receive his distress signal, but instead turned his head to the tall group of fairly intact buildings on the west side of the inner city. Compared with the Rock soldiers who were close to each other, she was more interested in the area that was still preserved under the magic of the Dark Mage.
"Isn't Saji... that's the famous caravan?"
After taking the pass from Sangel, Suriname carefully looked through and found that the customs clearance seal on it actually indicated that the caravan was one of the famous family caravans on the mainland - Saji.
This is one of the most famous caravans in the mainland and should have a lot of supplies.
He was still planning to buy some local specialties trafficked from other cities, but he saw the deputy captain Pastor running over with several archers guarding the city walls.
"Captain, they just repelled the Dark Mage. We have seen it with our own eyes, see if it is..." Pastor approached Suriname's ear and whispered a few words.
When Suriname heard that the Saji caravan actually repelled the vicious dark mage outside the city, Suriname looked up and down with incredible eyes. Except for the dozens of night elves accompanying him and the men in black dressed as mages, the others were ordinary merchants. With this combat power, he could defeat the dark mage? Are you kidding?
No matter how powerful the night elves are, their number is limited, and they can at most deal with a mercenary group. As for dark mages with more than a hundred, it is absolutely impossible to defeat them with about thirty night elves.
"It's true, I saw it all. The night elves just killed dozens of mercenaries. As for the dark mage, it was all done by the black-robed mage. He summoned a monster that could deform. The leader of the dark mage shouted "Safirol" and ordered to retreat. You didn't see that scene, it was really amazing. Those dark mages who were showing off their power were not opponents of the monster, and several died in just a few seconds. And... the Seventh Prince was also in their hands..." Fearing that the captain would not believe it, Pastor tried his best to describe the scene he saw.
"It's so amazing..."
"Yes, the suspension bridge and the city gate were also caused by the black-robed mage. He just touched it with his hands and opened it." Pastor saw with his own eyes how Moya opened the gate and the suspension bridge, so he was even more worried about whether it was inappropriate to put such a team into the city. Even if it was a famous caravan, he could not relax his vigilance.
"It's not certain that these are all the tricks of the dark mage. It is not impossible for the wizards who have fallen into the darkness to sacrifice a few companions to achieve their goal. They may have taken the caravan hostage first and cast a ecstasy spell on them, hoping to destroy us from within."
Suriname also felt that this might be all caused by the darkness.
It has been more than ten days since the siege of the city, and none of the caravans passed by were spared. How could this Saji caravan pass through the encirclement of dark mages and mercenaries without casualties? The caravans that arrived in the morning not only died outside the city, but they were also attacked by trolls in the Luso wasteland, but Saji had no signs of being attacked.
That's why the city guard captain concluded that they must be spies sent by the enemy.
However, Suriname also considered Saji's special identity. They were a caravan and their family was rich. They should not be punished easily. It is best to first grasp the evidence that they were infiltrated into the city, and it is not too late to encircle and suppress it.
"Okay, now is an extraordinary period, and we don't have the extra energy to pursue it. You guys go to the city."
Waving his hand, the captain signaled his subordinates to let go. However, his eyes were always staring at the most conspicuous black-robed mage in the team.
Can't see clearly, the suspicious guy...
"Look for two clever ones and follow behind."
The captain was always worried. This mage, who was said to be very powerful, ordered the deputy captain to find someone to follow him.
"Then... do you want to notify Prince Slin?" Pastor waved his hand and immediately flashed out two short soldiers dressed as thieves. They were all special characters in the city guard who were responsible for tracking. They were no less capable than thieves and were soon decorated with the caravan that had already walked away.
"No, observe first. If it is really a spy sent by the other princes, it will not be too late to kill them. At present... I'll observe first."
***************************
Sure enough, someone was sent to follow...
Without looking back, Moya's perception detects the two pursuers suffixed.
If you are an ordinary mage, this distance is indeed difficult to detect. But Moya has two magical tools on her body, which can raise perception to the level of a mage, so that you can easily discover the two Rock Town soldiers tracking behind.
But Moya is not worried about this. If no one is sent to follow, there will be danger. It means that the defenses in Rock Town want to get rid of them, such a group of outsiders. The reason why they sent to follow is that they are still watching.
After crossing two street intersections, the caravan arrived at a station dedicated to accommodation for foreign caravans.
"Okay, everyone is tired for a day, hurry up and take more rest. If we can leave the city tomorrow, we will set off immediately. It is not safe here, so it is better to stay less."
He ordered everyone in the caravan to rest and prepare. Sanger wanted to leave tomorrow if he could leave. They were merchants, not mercenaries. Since the city was no longer suitable for business, there was no need for them to stay.
As soon as he entered his dormitory, a figure who followed him was shocked by Sanger, who was not very brave.
"Is it Master Yamo?"
The monk with a somewhat familiar outline was the completely set sun, so that the leader could vaguely recognize the black shadow that suddenly appeared in the room. It was the mysterious black magician who made him change his views repeatedly within a day.
"kindness……"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"I have some private matters to do. I have to leave the inn for a while. If the leader is fine, it is best not to leave before I come back. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I can't protect your safety." Moya casually explained and used an invisible spell on himself.
"That...you want..." As soon as he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he had promised not to ask about anything about the other party, so Sanger had to swallow the words that had already reached his mouth. With such delay, the object he spoke was fading and disappeared like the mist in the morning. Only Wufeng automatically closed the door, proving that the black magician had left.
"Don't worry about the two followers, so as not to arouse suspicion."
When he was guarding the side of the guard captain Jie'an outside his dormitory, Moya whispered in an elf language, so as not to stop them from holding on, and he quickly killed the stalking Rock soldiers, causing some unnecessary trouble.
"High Priest, where are you going? Do you want us to accompany you?" Another captain, Crod, tried to go with him, but was rejected by Moya.
"No, I'll deal with some private matters. You don't have to follow me. Let's go back to your room to rest, so as not to be discovered by the followers of Rock soldiers. Don't worry, just a little personal grudge, I'll be back soon."
The feedback from the magic sensed at the city gate told Moya that the two humans who eavesdropped on the conversation were in the city, how could she let the night elves go with her?
