He felt that something strange had broken into his territory.
There were about forty humanoid units lying in ambush in the woods directly ahead.
Lelith also sensed something unusual ahead. She quickly transformed into human form, dismounted, and walked over to Reiner. "Let me take over. Their magic power is very weak. I can easily deal with them."
"First find out what happened. If they really have bad intentions, it's not too late to kill them later."
Noila volunteered: "Master, I'll go and help you."
"Okay, be safe."
Nora drew her dagger and dived into the woods.
In order not to alert the enemy, Reiner asked the team to slow down and continue moving forward.
The other demihumans in the team also noticed something was amiss.
They all picked up their weapons and sat in the carriages, ready for battle.
Only Fran, who liked to play with Roxanne, didn't notice anything was wrong and kept on making clicking noises.
Martina rode up from the group and asked without thinking, "What happened?"
"Someone is ambushing us up ahead. We may have to fight. Be prepared in advance."
Martina put on her helmet and drew her greatsword from behind her. "Let me do it! I'm worried about having nothing to practice with! This is a good opportunity for them to try out this new technique I just figured out."
"Let's talk about it later."
After a few minutes, Nora came over. She picked the leaves off the cat's ears and said, "I have never seen such things before. They are bright red and have horns on their heads, just like what Lalith looked like when she turned into a demon.
It just has no wings or tail, and it's hiding in a tree looking at us. It doesn't seem like it can fly."
Peggy replied with certainty, "It's the demons. They're setting an ambush on this road."
Reiner then asked, "Are they strong?"
"I feel pretty strong, but I definitely can't beat that guy." As she said this, her eyes fell on Elelis beside her.
Nora paused for a moment and continued, "Not far from those demons, there's a group of humans observing them. I know one of them. He's Junice's brother, that Yuwen."
"Youl." Junice corrected, then sighed softly, "There's really no way to avoid him. We took a detour but still ran into him..."
Reiner shrugged.
In fact, Junice really wanted to go and take a look, and he didn't mind staying here for a few days.
He reached out and patted Martina's shoulder. "Then you go ahead. If they attack directly later, you can practice. If you need help, just let me know."
"Okay!"
Martina jumped off her horse, twirled the greatsword in one hand, and walked at the front of the team, chanting a spell at the same time.
With the sound of thunder, the horse under Reiner was frightened and dared not move forward.
There was no point in not telling her about the complete version of the Lightning Forged Armor. This guy had already figured it out on his own, and added some things he had discovered during his own explorations.
Martina's armor was surrounded by lightning, and her eyes flashed with a terrifying purple light.
Then the lightning on his body gradually turned into a strange light purple.
At the same time, the electricity reacted with the surrounding wind field, and the "buzzing" sound of surging current rang in everyone's ears.
Reiner wondered if the demons who were secretly observing Martina would choose to attack her after seeing her terrifying appearance...
