Chapter 46 Ambush
To the southwest of Shake Town and north of the official road leading to Woluo City, there is a high slope.
There is a forest on a high slope with dense branches and leaves and towering trunks.
Luo Mo hid in a big tree with a good view, quietly observing the official road leading to Shaker Town.
He has now drank a bottle of secondary invisibility potion, which can last for twelve hours. I also put developing eye drops in my eyes, which last for six hours.
According to the information he had previously learned from Elliot, there was no developer potion sold in Volo City, and there was only a powder called Developer Dust on the market.
Appearance Dust is a product used at close range. It spreads special dust in a wide range to reveal the enemy.
In terms of usage conditions, it is completely different from my own developing potion.
It was already late at night, the sky was a little gloomy, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and visibility was very poor.
But with the help of developing eye drops, Luomo could still see clearly all the creatures in the distance.
With the blessing of eye drops, these forest creatures will show a special visual effect. It's like a thermal image generated by an infrared detector.
With the support of these two alchemical products, Romo is like a hunter, patiently waiting for the enemy to arrive.
After a long time, there was finally movement on the official road ahead.
Lomo looked around and saw a group of people coming from the direction of Woluo City and galloping towards Shake Town.
These people were all wearing strong armor and had swords across their waists. They were obviously a team of knights.
Shake Town is a remote town, and the sudden appearance of such an armed force is obviously abnormal.
It seems that this is the team sent by Baron Nora and House of Witte in advance.
Luo Mo counted about twenty people. Moreover, all of them are powerful and obviously have extraordinary fighting ability.
This team passed under the high slope where Lomo was located, and without stopping, they all entered Shaker Town.
He waited silently, and after a while, another sound of horse hooves came from the official road.
This time the sound of horse hooves was very sparse, with only three people in attendance.
Luo Mo observed these three people carefully. They were all dressed in black. One of them carried an amazingly large sword on his back, almost twice as long as his Qingshuang sword.
Compared with this sword, my own weapon can only be regarded as a short sword.
Being able to wield such a heavy weapon is enough to show the strength of the person coming.
Of the other two people, one is thin and his body rises and falls with the horse, always very stable.
The other one has a slender figure, but there is nothing unique about him.
Luo Mo couldn't tell their strength and could only describe them as hiding something.
But what surprised Luo Mo was that when approaching Shaker Town, the thin man suddenly jumped off his horse and dived into a dense forest on the left at extremely fast speeds.
This thin black figure quickly found a big tree to hide in. His movements up the tree were extremely smooth, without any sloppiness.
The other two entered Shaker Town without looking back.
Luo Mo immediately understood that this guy, like himself, was here to serve as a whistleblower.
However, he didn't know that all his actions had been observed by Luo Mo.
Luo Mo waited silently for a while, and after confirming that no one else came on the official road, he quietly climbed down from the tree and began to silently approach the thin black figure.
In fact, the distance between him and the shadow was within the range of the bow and arrow. But he was afraid that if he missed a hit, his opponent would escape.
Then all his preparations would be in vain.
So he prepared to sneak up and deliver a fatal blow.
After getting off the tree, his steps were very light, and every time the mountain wind blew, he would move forward. The rustling of the leaves in the mountain breeze covered up the inaudible sound of his footsteps.
After a while, he finally came to the vicinity of the black shadow.
The black shadow on the tree remained motionless, seemingly unaware of Lomo's arrival.
Luo Mo held his breath and concentrated, suddenly pulled out the Qingshuang sword from his waist and swung it towards the black shadow on the tree.
The next moment, a burst of cold light erupted from the tip of the sword, and a strong wind carried the ice and roared towards the black shadow.
Frost impact!
The black figure was caught off guard and was hit by the shock wave. He immediately lost his balance and fell down the tree.
In the process of landing, the black shadow reacted quickly, and a flying blade left his body and flew rapidly in the direction of Luo Mo.
'Turns out to be a shadow assassin. '
Luo Mo had already guessed his profession. He first used the Water Purification Book and directly hit the flying blade.
The flying blade that was originally speeding suddenly stagnated, swaying, and inserted diagonally into the soil.
Then, without giving the black shadow any time to react, Luo Mo pointed the tip of his sword at him again.
A water ball appeared in the air and directly enveloped the black shadow that had not yet landed.
Water Curtain Technique!
The water ball condensed into ice spikes in an instant, piercing the black shadow's body from all directions without any blind spots.
For a moment, a cloud of blood mist rose in the air.
The black shadow let out a scream, but because it was wrapped in a water ball, the scream was very muffled.
With a 'bang' sound, the black shadow fell to the ground.
Luo Mo stepped forward quickly, raised his handle, and the sword blade turned into a ball of white light, forming an arc in the dark night.
His ice swordsmanship has been promoted to the third level. At such a close range, he instantly broke through the black shadow's armor and cut his chest open.
The wound did not bleed, but condensed into ice at an extremely fast speed. The black shadow had no time to react and turned directly into an ice sculpture.
His face looked very distorted, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open. There was an expression of horror and disbelief on his face.
From the look on his face, it seemed that he would never believe that he would be killed instantly like this.
"I got one." Luo Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out a homing pigeon from his arms and released it in the direction of Sardin Manor.
This was a message to Nicholas, informing him that he could now set off with his militia.
Then Lomo buried the assassin's body under the tree, and he returned to the big tree where he was before.
Due to the intense physical activity, the invisibility effect disappeared. He once again drank a bottle of secondary invisibility potion and silently waited for the arrival of dawn.
Five hours later, it was daylight.
Luo Mo stayed in the tree and watched the team from his manor enter the predetermined ambush point in the distance.
It was a dense forest in a valley, some distance away from the official road, and the high slopes on both sides could hide their figures well.
When the sun rose high, Luo Mo finally saw a very impressive team coming from the official road in the distance.
The leader stood on a tall horse, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and had pure yellow hair. Judging from the appearance, it is consistent with Elliot's description, and it is Baron Betsy Nora.
Behind him was an old acquaintance, Lexa William.
Behind the two men was a knight squad consisting of twelve people.
Elliot also rode among them, but he was surrounded by knights, like a prisoner under surveillance.
Baron Nora looked relaxed, looking at the surrounding scenery casually, and said to Lexa beside him: "Are your people ready?" "
They came here in advance to prepare last night." Lexa replied .
"Well, that's good. Your House of Witte's affairs are relatively safe." Baron Nora smiled.
"Don't worry, sir. I have set up a secret sentry. He is the famous Nightingale assassin. The town has also prepared a perfect plan. As long as that guy Lomo sets foot in Shaker Town, he will definitely be unable to escape." "Okay. This wilderness
. It’s too hot in the wild, so hurry up and have a drink in the city.”
Baron Nora flicked his riding whip, and the horses under him immediately started running wildly.
The people behind quickly followed, and everyone entered Shake Town together.
On the tall tree on the high slope, Luo Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
The first half of the plan went smoothly, and it looked like the war was off to a good start.
