Chapter 30 Ambush

Lisa was watching the Baron's convoy from a very far distance and estimated that it would reach Rand's encirclement at noon today.

Ellie and Olenna stood behind Lysa, and they could see nothing.

Normal people don't have eyes like Lisa that are sharper than an eagle's and can see details from such a distance.

At this moment, they were whispering to each other: "Golden eyes, white hair, how did that Rand envoy kidnap the ancient elves?"

Olena looked at Ellie, who had completely integrated herself into the power of the den, and sighed: "I think it's similar to us. Ellie, do you really want to cooperate with this den?"

"Oleanna, do you think this sect is really uncooperative?" Ellie turned around and looked at Olenna with her turquoise eyes.

Olenna had taken care of her since she was very young, and still treated her like a child.

But she is already an adult and hopes to do something for her sister and everyone, such as the artifacts buried in the ruins.

As for this cult hideout, recently under the leadership of Lisa, they visited hideout No. 1 and hideout No. 3, and even visited the ruins of hideout No. 2.

It was a thriving scene, and she even asked for a copy of the den's doctrine. Although there were some parts she didn't understand, she believed that there must be some profound ways of governance contained in it.

She even planned to take it back to show her sister, maybe the White Country's national strength could be further improved because of it.

Unfortunately, this Rand envoy likes to hide his abilities very much, and has only written one page of the doctrine so far. I heard from the paladin named Taner that the complete doctrine is a thick book.

I really want to know what's next.

But now the misunderstanding has been basically resolved, and they now know the reason for the bloody and rotten smell of the corpse that they smelled that night.

All I can say is that the baron who is about to be ambushed by Rand is really not a human being.

This hideout was not as full of human bones, flesh and blood, and sacrificial altars as one might imagine.

To be precise, there seemed to be an altar, right in the house where Rand lived. When she learned that the stone platform piled with debris was the altar for sacrifice, she was still shocked for a moment.

She didn't know what could be offered as a sacrifice. Anyway, she couldn't see what the altar was for.

Although Olenna cared more about Ellie, after following her around for a while, she had to admit that this was definitely not an evil place.

She also didn't think that Rand had performed it specifically for them. After all, it was impossible for every villager to have such good acting skills. She truly saw the villagers' sense of happiness and their trust in Rand.

Such a cult is countless times more dangerous than those real cults that only offer mindless sacrifices, but it seems that we cannot simply call this Mother Goddess sect a cult. After all, they neither brainwash nor offer sacrifices, and even this attack on the nobles was just to take back what belongs to them.

With a helpless sigh, Olenna agreed with Ellie's point of view: "Okay, but you must inform Lord White King."

Ellie rolled her eyes. "You really want that video of us to get out?"

Olenna's face froze. If she hadn't been told, she would have almost forgotten about this matter. Ever since what happened that night, she didn't dare to sleep with Ellie at night. Indeed, the agreement stated that the situation of the hideout could not be told to the White King.

But there seems to be a compromise: "We can only say part of it, such as we have met a smart and upright local lord and we intend to cooperate with him."

Ellie looked at Olena in shock, which made Olena blush a little: "Are you really my dear mentor Olena? How did you become like this? I remember when I was a child, you often taught me not to lie."

Olena's face turned even redder, but after what happened between her and her students, she couldn't put on airs as a teacher anymore. She just whispered, "After all, this is the situation. It's better to be flexible."

Ellie chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything, my mentor."

Then, Lysa turned around, her pointed ears twitched, and said, "Do you want to join the war?"

Ellie rolled her eyes, and suddenly remembered that Rand said that the room and board were not free, so she asked playfully, "Is there a reward?"

Lisa nodded. She could easily figure out Rand's thoughts. Compared to a little wealth, Rand must care more about the lives of the people in the hideout: "According to the market price of hiring the most senior and superior professionals, is it acceptable?"

Ellie nodded. Now that Olenna had become a little weak, all decisions were made by Ellie.

…

The Baron was unaware of the ambush, and he was not in a hurry to leave the area. At noon, he arranged for the convoy to stop and started to make a fire and cook. As a qualified noble lord, he could not neglect to enjoy himself at any time.

At the Baron's instructions, the team quickly stopped and started to make a fire to cook. Just as they relaxed and the knights began to take off their helmets to prepare for dinner, Rand ordered an attack.

Taner put on the helmet and smiled with some regret under the mask. He never expected that one day he would help the cultists attack the legitimate nobles of mankind.

He was not riding a horse, but standing with the Minotaur sword and shield warriors. In multiplayer battles, the role of personal force would be reduced.

The first batch of arrows and stones directly knocked down some knights and guards who were unable to react in time.

"Enemy attack!" The captain of the guard and knight reacted very quickly. In the first wave of attack, he quickly arranged for his men to hide behind the carriage. Then he took a longbow, drew the bow and drew the arrow, aiming at the Minotaur that was rushing out.

"Damn it, how could there be a monster?" The captain of the guard cursed inwardly. The scene was like the army of the Underdark counterattacking the surface.

The longbow is very powerful and can easily penetrate a wooden shield at close range.

But to no avail. Taner used his small shield to block the arrows shot at Shasa, and then locked his eyes on the captain of the guards.

There was another wave of arrows and stones. This time, since many people hid behind cover, the effect was not as good as before, but there were still unlucky people who were hit and fell down.

Under the suppression of arrows and stones, the knights and guards who were unable to form a formation were rushed to the front by the Minotaur Gatan.

On the other side, Ellie put down the staff she had raised and complained, "It seems like we are of no use at all."

Lisa said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'll still pay you even if you don't make any money."

Ellie muttered, "Damn it, it's as if I'm greedy for that little bit of money."

Lisa continued to stare at the battlefield and smiled without saying anything. She wanted to make sure she could provide support at any time to avoid loss of the already small population in the hideout.

The real knights were all very powerful, but unfortunately Tanr was even stronger. With Tanr as the vanguard, the team easily separated those soldiers who were unable to form a formation, and then slaughtered them all under the huge individual advantage of the Minotaur.

However, there was one exception. Everyone deliberately ignored the Baron who had not yet reacted. After all the threats were eliminated, Rand walked out from behind the big shield, stood in front of the Baron, and smiled, "Do you know who I am?"
