"Everyone prepares for war! Sammer, take people to find out the enemy's situation! Report the enemy's traces at any time!"
"Light the beacon, three beacons! Ask for help from White Deer Fortress!"
Li Ang directly gave the order first, and then asked Risadiran while putting on the equipment, "What's going on? Where did the army come from?"
"It must have been caused by this dead man's face..."
After looking at the unconscious employer, Li Ang pulled off his hood.
A bald head that was as white as blue was exposed. There was no hair on the whole head and the lips were blue. He really looked like a dead person.
But fortunately, he is breathing and has a heartbeat, so he is not inhuman.
That's okay, Li Ang has temporarily given up the idea of running away immediately.
He took a bowl of water and poured it on the dead man's face, but the man was still unconscious and unresponsive.
"Risadiran, tell me the specific situation in detail, don't miss any details!" Li Ang needs more information now.
Risadiran began to talk about his experiences quickly and in detail.
More than two months ago, Risadiran left Wheat Fragrance Territory and went to Long River Town.
His mission is to find and bring back the employer who hired him to assassinate Li Ang.
Perhaps the vast majority of assassins will not plot against their employer in turn - but that is because the consequences of a failed assassination are usually death, so even if they want to betray their employer, there is no chance.
However, when it comes to situations like Risadiran, where the assassination failed and was controlled with drugs, there is no other way.
After all, the assassin is also a human being and wants to live. Risadiran really does not dare to bet on the authenticity of 'Hundred Day Soul Severing Pill'. He must bring this employer alive to Li Ang within three months.
Originally, Risadiran thought that this employer would be easy to find. After all, employers should always wait for the results.
But unexpectedly, after he went to Long River Town and left the previously agreed secret message of 'mission accomplished', no one contacted him after waiting for several days.
Risadiran searched almost every corner of Long River Town, but still could not find this person.
Subsequently, the kingdom launched a war, and troops stationed in various places would step up their defenses during the war, and Long River Town also imposed martial law.
Risadiran had no choice but to sneak out of the city in the middle of the night, planning to return to Wheat Fragrance Territory first.
But halfway through, at the Aier River, which was more than a hundred miles away from Wheat Fragrance Territory, he encountered a strange combination.
It was a temporary camp with dozens of people inside.
There were several well-equipped knights, a group of ragtag bandits with different armors, a hooded bard, and some masked men in black.
Risadiran is a top assassin, and he could easily tell that those men in black were his former colleagues - they were killers.
Moreover, the hooded bard was dressed exactly the same as the employer he met at Long River Town.
So Risadiran sneaked closer to the camp.
Then, Risadiran heard these few conversations--
"... That's not an empty village, there are a lot of troops there! We don't have enough manpower! You bastard..."
"Then wait until the war is over. The moment just after the war is the best opportunity! The empire will send a large army to support you. As long as you succeed, you will become the governor of the empire!"
"But he will come back when the war is over..."
"Don't worry... I will lead him to Crow's Perch Village... seize the opportunity to bring more people! Don't you still want to get that little girl..."
In this conversation, the voice of one of the people is that of Risadiran's employer.
Another voice probably came from a young knight.
Without hearing the previous words, Risadiran didn't quite know their intentions, but at least he had determined his goal.
So he left a mark of mission completion in a conspicuous place in the camp.
The employer did come out at night, but after seeing the noble emblem of Li Ang, he quickly retreated and directly ordered everyone in the camp to besiege Risadiran.
Only then did the poor elf killer realize that this employer was also dishonest.
Risadiran tried his best to escape, then turned around and followed the group of people quietly - the bard's behavior reminded the grumpy elf of his last employer. Even without Li Ang's order, Risadiran would not let him go.
Because there were so many people on the other side, Risadiran never found a good opportunity to carry out the kidnapping - killing was actually easier. The elf was confident of shooting the employer to death with one arrow, but it was very difficult to take him away alive...
These people would stop in various villages all the way to the west, walking very slowly in twists and turns.
The knights quickly dispersed with their men, but the men in black never left the bard. They were all killers and were very vigilant. Risadiran was almost discovered by them several times.
He had no choice but to keep following this group of people to look for opportunities. He followed them for half a month until he came to the vicinity of Kaineburg.
This is already west of the Lionheart Kingdom.
Finally, all the killers in black were dispatched.
Risadiran finally found a chance to capture the bard.
But the strange thing is that the bard, who was as pale as a dead man, seemed to have become a fool from the moment he was captured by Risadiran.
Yes, it's like his brain is completely broken. No matter what Risadiran says, that dead face will only repeat one sentence, "You will regret it..."
You know, not long ago, he was persuading that knight with eloquent words.
And the most troublesome thing is that he doesn't move at all, like a real fool.
No matter how Risadiran tortured him, he never moved, refused, resisted or cooperated.
Except that he still needs a little food and drink and can say a few words, he really doesn't look like a living person at all.
Risadiran went to great lengths to take him away from the vicinity of Kaineburg.
For an elf who has to hide, he has to travel thousands of miles with such a big stupid thing, which is really a huge hardship...
And it can't be discovered - Noldo Elves kidnapping a human will definitely attract siege.
Well, even if humans kidnap humans, they will still be besieged...
But he couldn't kill this fool. He had to bring the person back alive no matter what, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Li Ang.
So he went to a nearby village to steal a carriage, and then put the man's money bag at the carriage owner's house. Although the proud elf had been an assassin, he was unwilling to steal. This time he had no choice but to steal the carriage without telling him, so he left enough money to buy the carriage.
Even though there is a carriage, it is still extremely troublesome. Listening to the phrase "You will regret it" every day, Risadiran really regrets it.
If it weren't for the thought of the 'poison' in my stomach, Risadiran would want to give up every day...
It took him a full month before he brought the people to the vicinity of Trublen, which is a village about a hundred miles west of Wheat Fragrance Territory.
At this moment, the fool suddenly seemed to wake up, and then broke the rope with unimaginable strength and ran away.
Risadiran was caught off guard and almost ran into the village by that person.
Fortunately, the employer didn't run very fast, and the elf reacted quickly and caught up with him in time, knocking him unconscious at the entrance of the village.
But then, a large number of gangsters with different equipment poured out of Trublen Village, and the darkness became overwhelming...
