Aaron, knowing that he had made a mistake, smiled awkwardly and planned to deal with the remaining Gargoyle with the dwarves, but Vereesa asked him to look at the ground, "There seems to be something in the woods."
"In the woods?" Aaron lowered his head and looked down. Because it was already late winter, the forest had become bare. Through the layers of branches, Aaron could also see the ground at the bottom. However, he could not see anything wrong. Only Gryphon Rider and Gargoyle who had fallen to the ground were struggling on the ground.
However, Aaron still felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he could not find the source of this strange feeling. After careful observation, Aaron noticed that the branches in the forest occasionally swayed abnormally, and there seemed to be some breath of life in the forest, but Aaron could not detect where those breaths came from.
"There seems to be something, but I didn't see anything." As soon as Aaron finished speaking, he heard the sound of a bow string vibrating behind him. An arrow flew into the forest, emitting a bright and dazzling light. Under the light, several figures who were originally in Stealth state were exposed.
"It's Syndicate!" The noise caused by Vereesa and Aaron also attracted the attention of the dwarves. As soon as they saw these figures, the dwarves immediately recognized their identities.
"It turns out there are ground troops cooperating, Vereesa, hold on tight!" Aaron said, controlling the griffon to swoop down and avoid the branches growing out. Aaron knocked over a Syndicate thief with a hammer. Vereesa also drew his bow and arrows, shooting down several nearby enemies.
The Gryphon Riders also reacted, and some of the dwarves who had already eliminated their opponents urged their mounts to rush down with Aaron. Seeing this, Vereesa simply stopped killing the enemies, and instead shot several illuminating arrows in various directions in the forest, exposing more traces of the Syndicate thieves.
"No, get out!" These Syndicate members among Stealth were a little unprepared for this situation. Based on their understanding of Wildhammer Dwarves, the other party should not be able to see through the thieves so easily. The thief is Stealth. Seeing that things went beyond expectations, the senior member of Syndicate who was responsible for commanding these thieves immediately realized that they could not continue and they had better withdraw before the other party caught everyone out.
"Where did this elf come from?" The Syndicate member responsible for the order looked angrily at Vereesa sitting on the back of the gryphon in the air. According to their understanding, although Wildhammer Dwarves was the same as High Elf has a good relationship, but those elf rangers who often went to fight Alterac Mountains and Orcs recently should have returned to Quel'Thalas.
After remembering Vereesa's figure, the man immediately turned around and retreated. He also knew the rangers' anti-Stealth skills. If he hadn't been careless and failed to spread out, he wouldn't have exposed so many people so easily.
"Wait, it seems there is no need to run away." The thief leader realized a problem at this moment. Although the elf rangers have the ability to see through Stealth, the range of the lighting arrows is limited, and the current environment restricts the actions of the Gryphon Riders. Whether they flee back or rush through the interception of the dwarves, it does not seem to be a problem.
Thinking of this, the bandit leader immediately gave loud orders to his men, ordering the thieves who had started to flee separately to come back and continue their previous actions. Anyway, the environment in the forest was favorable to them.
Although the rest of the thieves were dissatisfied with the leader's outspoken behavior, the identity of the opponent was here, and fighting here was indeed beneficial to them, so they also sneaked back into the forest, carefully avoiding the gryphon knights. The keen sense of smell of the gryphons can detect stalkers within a certain distance, so more attention must be paid to this aspect.
Seeing the Gryphon Riders at a loss in the forest and not knowing what to do, the bandit leader showed a proud smile. He saw that Gargoyle, who had high hopes before, was solved so easily. At that time, his heart felt cold. Now it seems that even without the help of Gargoyle, he can sneak in smoothly. If they had known this, they must have emptied all the griffin eggs of Wildhammer Dwarves.
However, just as the leader was carefully moving forward and calculating how many griffon eggs he should take away this time, he suddenly felt a dazzling light burst out in the forest. Then the light above his head suddenly dimmed, and there was a faint whistling wind around him. He looked up hurriedly, and saw a human boy staring at him closely, holding an extraordinary war hammer in his hand. Behind the boy was High Elf, who had just discovered the existence of Stealth.
This situation made the leader of the thieves stunned, and thought that he was still careless. Although he was in the Stealth state, the way he gave orders just now was enough for the other party to see where he was. The only thing that puzzled him was how the other party found him so quickly, as if he could see through his own Stealth. No lighting arrows had landed next to him just now.
"You spoke so loudly, I thought you were already aware of being caught." Aaron showed a sarcastic smile. Unexpectedly, this guy actually didn't talk nonsense to him at all. As soon as he saw Aaron, he turned around and ran away, and hurriedly caught up with the gryphon. Vereesa also had the arrow on the string, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to give this guy a good look.
Aaron The two of them had just noticed the guy giving orders, but the other person had been in Stealth. They were really not sure where this person was. However, Aaron had other ways. Paying attention to the light emitted by Holy Light among Truthguard can also achieve the effect of lighting arrows, and with Holy Light that can be called by Aaron, the range of the light shining is much larger than that of lighting arrows.
"Pour it down!" Aaron swung the warhammer violently, and a shadow of the warhammer fell on the opponent's back, causing the opponent to stumble and fall to the ground, and eventually became Aaron's prisoner.
With the help of Aaron breaking the invisibility just now, the Wildhammer Dwarvess also caught a few Syndicate thieves who had no time to escape. As for the remaining people, seeing that even the leader had been captured, they no longer had the intention to fight, so they all started Sprint and left the woods without looking back.
The Wildhammer Dwarvess searched the forest for a long time, and after confirming that no fish had slipped through the net, they took a few prisoners and flew in the direction of Wildhammer Keep.
Aaron handed over the captured Syndicate thief to Gryphon Rider. He already had Vereesa with him. If he brought one more captive, the griffin would not be able to fly.
"Hey, Aaron, look what I caught?" Falstad came up to Aaron at some point and showed off to Aaron loudly.
"Why are you excited about catching a prisoner..." Aaron said this, but glanced at Falstad, but was stunned when he saw it. "A Orcs?!"
