Anno had sensed Freeman's malice before, so he also had the intention to kill him.

But I didn't expect that Sharp would come over as well.

But if you think about it, all this makes sense.

Sharp is one of the two captains of the Bloodstain Mercenary Group, and Freeman can only be considered as Sharp's subordinate.

When Sharp was wanted, the top leaders of the Bloodstain Mercenary Group would not actually turn Sharp over. Instead, they would facilitate Sharp's hiding.

In fact, when Freeman learned yesterday that Anno was also involved in the escort mission, he sent his confidant back to inform the other captain.

The captain naturally knew that Freeman was passing the message on to Sharp.

When Sharp heard the news, he came out of his hiding place without saying a word and rushed towards the town of Gruul.

However, due to the mission of the Adventurer's Guild and the Viscount's wanted order, the professionals in Valkham City were looking for Sharp intentionally or unintentionally.

The guards were also very strict, so it took Sharp a lot of time to leave the city.

When he came out, it was already afternoon.

Freeman, who didn't know this, had not waited for Sharp for a long time, so he thought of delaying a little on the road.

The appearance of the magic butterfly happened to give Freeman an opportunity.

Have your subordinates actively disturb the passing magic butterflies, and then let the latter attack the convoy.

According to Freeman's idea, under the attack of the Magic Butterfly's [Sleeping Powder] and [Paralysis Powder], the convoy will definitely have to stop here for a while.

As long as Sharp arrives, Freeman will find an opportunity to attack Anno together with Sharp.

However, the appearance of the harpy disrupted Freeman's plan.

This resulted in that when Sharp caught up with the convoy, the convoy was almost reaching the town of Gruul, and he could not find any chance at all.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have pretended to join forces with Anno, and then killed him in the Forbidden Forest." Freeman felt a little regretful at this time. He did not expect that Sharp would stay in the city for so long before coming out.

Charlie stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the Rage Knight would appear in the town of Gruul. If I report your information, you can get a lot of rewards."

Sharp looked at Charlie and said with a fake smile: "Charlie, don't forget that you still owe me a favor!"

Charlie spread his hands and said, "I was just joking, otherwise I wouldn't have left Mavis's people and come with you.

By the way, Annuo's wind wolf runs very fast.

The person who was monitoring him discovered him as soon as he went out and came back to tell us immediately.

We immediately set out to catch up with him after we got the news, but he still ran into the forest."

"No matter what, he must die!" Sharp is hiding from place to place now, all thanks to Annuo.

"Report, we found a trace that may have been left by the target!"

An assassin mercenary ran up to Sharp and the other two, half-knelt on the ground and reported his findings.

"Very good, chase!"

Sharp's face lit up with joy and he let the assassin lead the way, with everyone following closely behind.

Because the assassin was searching for traces everywhere, Annuo recalled the eavesdropping goblin.

Anno himself hid on the branch of a big tree, observing the movements of Sharp and others from afar.

Looking at the mercenaries rushing into the forest, Annuo wanted to laugh.

Because the direction they were chasing was exactly the direction the Scythe Goblin left.

"I always feel like something wonderful is going to happen, let's go and see!"

Anno had been planning to leave, but now he didn't dare to jump out and fight with Sharp and the others.

After all, there are three level 10 strong men.

The others are also above level 7.

Can’t beat!

At this time, Annuo was eager for the mercenaries and the sickle goblins to create sparks.

whoosh!

Anno and Liz jumped down from the tree and followed them.

Only about ten minutes after Annuo left, Mavis came here again with the Black Widow Mercenaries.

"Have they fought the monsters yet?" Mavis looked at the charred corpses on the ground, not sure whether it was Anno or Charlie and the others who were fighting the monsters.

After hesitating for a while, Mavis led her men to chase after them.

In any case, with someone leading the way in front and them following behind, their safety was greatly improved.

…

The Scythe Goblin ran all the way into the depths of the Forbidden Forest and stopped only when he came across a medium-sized gathering point.

In this gathering point, there lives a goblin tribe with hundreds of goblins.

Of its subordinates that were killed by Annuo before, except for the level 9 confidant who was brought out from the deepest part, all other monsters were brought out from this stronghold.

The Scythe Goblin arrived at the gathering point and immediately summoned all the goblins.

There are only about twenty level 6 to 9 goblins left because one of them was transferred away before.

"No, the enemy behind that goblin can easily wipe out the subordinates I brought with me. I may not be able to defeat them with just these guys!"

The Scythe Goblin looked at the monster in front of him with a heavy expression.

"Sir, all the goblins are here. What do you need us to do?" The leader of this gathering point is a level 9 goblin.

It rubbed its hands and walked up to the Scythe Goblin, but was stopped by the latter with his weapon.

The Scythe Goblin said seriously: "Don't get close to me, especially don't get within the attack range of my weapon, otherwise I will chop off your head!"

The goblin leader thought he had done something wrong and immediately knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Please spare my life, sir. I won't dare to do it again!"

Little did it know that the Scythe Goblin was just worried that more enemies would sneak in and take the opportunity to assassinate it.

"No, these goblins cannot be trusted. I have to find my own tribe and tell the king about this!"

The Scythe Goblin thought so in his mind, and then ordered the group of goblins to start setting traps, preparing to face the unknown enemies that might chase after them.

Hearing that an enemy might attack, the goblins at the gathering point immediately took action.

Some dug holes, some buried noose, some hid under leaves, some took refuge in tree holes.

The goblin leader even took out the poison he had seized earlier and smeared it on the arrowhead.

This poison was found on the human professional who broke in here before.

At that time, a goblin thought it was a drink, so he took a sip and fell to the ground and died soon after.

The goblin leader thought it was a good thing and kept it as a collection.

…

Sharp and his group followed the traces left by the Scythe Goblin.

But as they chased, they found something was wrong.

At their speed, they should have caught up with Anno who was exploring ahead.

But after chasing for nearly half an hour, apart from encountering a few monsters here and there, there was no sight of even the shadow of Anno.

Charlie frowned and said, "That's strange. This guy seems to be running in very fast. He doesn't seem to be worried about encountering enemies at all!"

"Yes!" Freeman agreed, "Isn't it generally the case that explorations are carried out step by step, bit by bit? How come we haven't seen An Nuo yet?"

"Could it be that we are chasing the wrong person?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a layer of sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of the assassin mercenary leading the way.

Now that he had come all the way here, how could he dare to tell the captains that he was chasing the wrong person?

At this moment, he saw a goblin lying next to a big tree not far ahead.

From his perspective, the goblin had a knife stuck in its body and its head was lowered, and it looked like it was dead.

"You're not chasing the wrong person, you're not chasing the wrong person!"

The assassin pointed at the goblin lying on the ground in front of him and said excitedly: "There is a corpse. An Nuo must have fought with the monster."

At this time, everyone else also saw the goblin nailed to the tree, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.

"Go check out the situation."

"yes!"

Several people ran to the front, looking for signs of fighting.

The assassin mercenary licked his lips and ran to the corpse with a smile on his face.

He thought he had chased the wrong person before, but now it seems that everything is right.

Soon, his smile froze.

Just as he came nearby, a blowgun emerged from a pile of fallen leaves, and a poisoned arrow shot the assassin mercenary in the back.

The poison instantly invaded the assassin mercenary's body.

At this time, he discovered another thing.

The knife did not pierce the goblin, but stabbed into its armpit.

Due to a visual error, he felt as if the goblin was nailed to a tree.

But he discovered it too late.

Finally, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "There's an ambush!"
