Quenched long order

Chapter 272 Ambush and Trap

At night, Shaoer rested in the Dust Guild.

He slept in a neat stone room, closed his eyes, let his body relax, and his thoughts continued to disperse with the air.

This is a state similar to the feeling of emptiness, but the effect is the opposite. Instead of using thoughts to influence the air, it is the other way around, letting the air carry its own thoughts around.

In this way, clear perception can be achieved, but clear content cannot be obtained.

It's not so much taking the air into your thoughts, but understanding it completely.

Be the air and then understand the air.

He called this state of breath movement, similar to meditation.

At this moment, his body seemed to disappear, and his thoughts completely merged into the air.

In other words, he is the air now.

It’s a way of resting and training.

Sometimes he blends in with the rhythmic purring, sometimes he sneaks into the gaps between the walls, and stays among the whispers of mice. It seems that all sounds are amplified inside the giant stone city.

While wandering, he gradually felt a rhythm, a beating feeling like a heart.

The sound came from all directions, everywhere, like... air.

With curiosity, he continued to search, not letting go of any corner or possibility.

The interior of Giant Stone City was far more empty and complicated than he thought.

The deeper he went underground, the more he felt like a lost child, weak and helpless in a mysterious and dangerous world.

There is a smell of danger in the air.

He didn't know if he wanted to keep going.

During the hesitation, the dust guild became noisy.

He slowly came out of his air travel state and focused his attention on the nearby area.

The sound of footsteps came quickly.

The sound of the soles colliding was slight and familiar, and the gait was steady. The person who came was Amanda.

He sat up and waited for Amanda to arrive.

"Saul, the manufacturing plant has been found."

Before the people arrived, the sound had already arrived.

"Where?" Sauer stood up.

Amanda came to the door, her eyes bright and clear, and she couldn't tell that it was midnight:
"Remember the caravan I told you yesterday?"

There was excitement in his voice.

Sauer nodded as he recalled yesterday's conversation.

Amanda took two steps closer and said in a deep voice:

"You may not believe it, but we have just received intelligence that the destination of the caravan is the manufacturing plant."

Before Sauer could speak, she continued:
"The thing is, the caravan seems to have received the intelligence. They plan to travel overnight and enter the manufacturing plant, so the time has been advanced a lot."

Sauer looked Amanda up and down. At this time, Amanda was fully armed, with a hidden sword on her wrist, a dagger on her waist, and a short knife on her back:

"If I'm not mistaken, the time is now."

Amanda nodded:
"Yes, and the route has also changed. We are not well prepared. I want to ask you to go with us."

She extended the invitation:
"Don't worry, I know the rules of disaster hunters, and I will give you my share."

At this point, her eyes dimmed, and she looked away and looked at the wall:
"If you can, I hope you can take care of the people in the guild. I'm not prepared enough this time and I'm worried there will be an accident."

Sauer nodded and replied, "I'll try my best."

……

The moonlight is very cold tonight.

The path outside Giant Stone City.

Even though the caravan's guards were walking quietly, they still could not hide it from the investigators.

As the ambush personnel were in place, and when the caravan arrived at the predetermined location, President Erwin waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

More than a dozen guild members touched it at night, almost simultaneously.

These people cooperated tacitly, and it was obviously not the first time they had done something like this.

However, Sauer did not follow. He still lurked aside and observed silently.

If the Dust Guild can solve it on its own, there is no need for him to expose himself.

The resistance of the caravan was fierce. However, the people responsible for reporting the news had already been dealt with first. No matter how hard they struggled, they could only buy themselves a few more minutes to breathe. As the last guard fell to the ground amid screams, the night fell into deathly silence again.

The smell of blood filled the air, with a slight sweetness.

Afterwards, the people from the Dust Guild began to count the harvest.

A strong bald man took out a short knife, inserted it into the gap in the lid of the wooden box, and opened it with force.

There was a clang.

The wooden box lids were scattered aside, kicking up a little dust.

Almost at the same time, the bald head also landed next to the wooden box, with shock in his eyes.

The next second, the lids of countless wooden boxes fell apart, roars broke the silence, and many heavily armed soldiers pulled out their long swords and slashed at the members of the Dust Guild.

The sudden attack left the members who had temporarily lowered their guard unable to react in time.

The entire caravan is a trap.

"retreat!"

A roar echoed through the sky.

President Erwin's voice woke all the members from their shock.

Thick gray smoke rose up and covered the entire caravan. This was the Dust Guild's response, but it was used very rarely.

The Dust Guild took advantage of the cover of thick smoke and quickly retreated.

"Come on, Sauer." Amanda came to Sauer.

"Those people are..." Sauer followed Amanda's footsteps.

"People from the legion." Amanda gritted her teeth.

"They are not planning to let us go." After Sauer finished speaking, he looked back.

The soldiers at the rear had already chased them, and they still maintained a tight formation, obviously well-trained.

Amanda also turned around, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by Sauer.

"There are people in front of me too." Sauer lowered his voice.

The sound of horse hooves approached quickly and uniformly, stopping right on the Dust Guild's retreat route.

Outside the woods, tall shadows formed a wall, blocking the Dust Guild's way of survival.

The other party came just for them.

"Go this way." Sauer pulled Amanda towards the right.

"Wait... Guild Master and the others..." Amanda looked worried, looking around for people from the guild.

A loud and firm voice came from outside the woods.

This voice is full of confidence and fearlessness, like the fierce sunshine:

"My dear Octavius, the leader of the White Dove Regiment, which belongs to the Third Legion, was ordered by the legion commander to clear out the bandits near Giant Stone City.

"Now, as the eighth prince of the Fanze Empire, I guarantee to you that those who lay down their weapons and surrender will be exempted from the death penalty!
"Others will be killed without mercy.

"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it."

As the sound fell, the night fell into silence again.

The surrounding soldiers stopped almost at the same time and did not get any closer.

"White Pigeon Group?" Amanda sounded surprised.

"You know?" Sauer looked out of the woods.

Amanda looked solemn, nodded and replied:
"The White Pigeon Group is very famous. I heard that from the beginning to the present, there has been no defeat. I didn't expect that the Dust Guild would alarm them."

"Do you have..." Shao paused: "...backup plan?"

Amanda didn't answer.

No answer, just an answer.

"Let's get out of here first."

Sauer had found a way out, at least, and had no problem taking Amanda with him.

Fighting alone against an army is a stupid decision most of the time.

"But the president..." Amanda looked deep into the woods. When they escaped just now, most of the people in the Dust Guild fled in the other direction, including Erwin, the president of the Dust Guild.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help." Sauer pulled Amanda away.

Ten seconds is not a long time.
