This knight is another senior knight in the entourage, and he holds an extremely important position in the entire Sabretooth Mercenary Group.

He was of enormous size, the strongest man Luther had ever seen.

He was only wearing leather armor to protect his vital parts, his hair was disheveled, and he had a long beard, looking like a berserker.

The weapon is a double-sided axe with a short but very thick handle.

Orleans.

This is the knight's name.

Orleans' words resonated with most of the knights present. They hated fighting and protecting their patrons at the same time. Most mercenary knights had bad tempers, and it was rare to find a knight as good-tempered as Knight Stone.

Because the life of a mercenary is accompanied by blood and gore, you might eat and drink to your heart's content today and face death tomorrow.

So the knights showed unfriendly expressions to Pompey and his son without any concealment.

Luther gave a thumbs up to the Knight of Orleans in his heart. Although the tone was not very nice, it was something he liked to hear.

Luther would not participate in the battle if he could avoid it.

But Old Thor was very determined. He said, "My nickname is 'Golden Lion Thor', and I am the bravest knight in Patton."

Bravery does not mean strength, so there is nothing wrong with what Old Thor said.

After all, he is nominally a mid-level knight now.

But the knights didn't think so. How brave could a lord knight under a country baron be? Our knights can beat two of you alone.

But in the end, the Axe Knight agreed to Old Thor's request. After all, Pompey and his son were his customers, and he had to take their feelings into consideration.

Anyway, this time they brought two senior knights with them, so as long as they were careful, the battle wouldn't be too troublesome. But the Axe Knight still carefully told Old Thor to let the father and son stay at the back of the team as much as possible.

After a brief interlude, the Axe Knights made their combat deployments.

The Battle Axe Knight said to the junior mage in the team: "Mr. Al, please release your little thing to explore the hidden sentries and possible traps in the forest."

This junior wizard is completely hidden in a black cloak with a hood. Only his nose and chin can be seen from normal angles. He doesn't talk much and is a very mysterious wizard.

The strange thing is that this wizard has a sword hanging around his waist.

Mr. Al nodded, and his cloak moved. Then some flies flew out and flew into the forest buzzing.

Luther was a little curious. He knew very little about mages and had never seen this thing.

"This is not a life form. It is a little toy powered by magic. Mr. Al has released the Mage's Eye on it, which can detect the situation."

Seeing Luther staring at him curiously, the Axe Knight smiled and explained.

The tone and attitude seemed as if he was treating a junior, because along the way the Axe Knight and Old Thor were quite like-minded and became very good friends.

Sometimes Luther had to admit Old Saul's diplomatic skills. He was indeed a man with the ability to save face and solve many problems with just his face.

Luther was talking to the Axe Knight, and the knights began to prepare for battle. Soon after, the flies returned.

Mr. Al glanced at the Axe Knight, who took out a map of the Blackwater Mountains in tacit understanding. Mr. Al made some marks on the map, including crosses and circles.

Mr. El said in a very low and hoarse voice: "The cross represents three secret sentries. There are knights and ordinary guards inside. They are not very strong. The circle is the sensing position set by the opponent's magician. Once you step into this sensing position, the opponent will know. So we can't destroy it. We can only take a detour."

"We will divide into three teams, clear out these three secret checkpoints, and gather here." The Battle Axe Knight pointed to a point on the map and assigned tasks: "Knight Orleans, Knight Nabal, you will each take ten intermediate knights to clear these two checkpoints. The rest of you, Mr. El, Thor and Luther, follow me to clear this checkpoint."

"yes."

The knights were well-trained, and after responding, they entered the forest under the leadership of their respective leaders. Luther and Old Thor followed the footsteps of the Battle Axe Knight.

He made up his mind to stay back and not fight the enemy head-on.

It would be stupid to go up and fight.

However, the battlefield is ever-changing and anything can happen, so although Luther tried to stay at the back of the team, he was also physically prepared for battle just in case.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The forests south of the Blackwater Mountains are different from the endless forests south of Prussia, although they are just as dark and just as damp.

But there were fewer magical beasts and terrifying plants. The main output was some mosquitoes, insects, and poisonous snakes. For a group of knights, these were trivial matters.

Luther followed at the back of the team, marching forward in an orderly manner. Since they were all knights, controlling their bodies was a common thing for them, so the group made very little noise.

Soon the group arrived at the location of the secret outpost marked by Mr. Al, which was a tree house built on a big tree.

Because of the obstruction of leaves, it is not easy to be found.

But it cannot escape the eyes of the wizard, and of course it cannot escape the eyes of the current knights.

To deal with such secret sentries, they should be cleared out as soon as possible, and the people inside should not be allowed to send out messages. The only way to send messages is by using a few kinds of swift flying birds.

However, no matter how careful the knights were, they could not hide from the ears of the enemy knights and attack the checkpoint silently, so they could only attack by force.

The Sabretooth Mercenaries are very experienced in this.

The axe knight made a few gestures, and several intermediate knights nodded, drew their bows, and ambushed on the trees.

If the situation was not good, they would shoot the birds that carried the message with bows and arrows.

The remaining knights, including Luther and Old Thor, slowly spread out and surrounded the checkpoint.

Mr. Al did not release auxiliary magic for the knights. The magic power of a junior wizard was not sufficient, and his magic power had to be used in more critical places.

When the knights were only about fifty steps away from the checkpoint, the Tomahawk Knight made a gesture, and the knights of the Sabretooth Mercenary Corps instantly understood. They followed the Tomahawk Knight and rushed towards the tree house on the tree.

Old Sol certainly didn't understand the gesture, but he reacted quickly and rushed over swiftly, leaving Luther alone with Mr. Al.

As for fighting, it’s better not to participate if you can.

Mr. Al looked at Luther strangely. This father and son were really strange. The father was a battle fanatic, but the son seemed to have no interest in fighting.

strangeness.

Although Mr. Al doesn't talk much, he observes very carefully.
