Capítulo 332: Ambush
Different positions had different ways of looking at things.
Beta had once been a lord, so he knew the importance of intelligence. He also knew how to obtain information. He was even more aware that the changes in a city's goods often reflected the city's economic level. Sometimes, he could even see the city's current state. For example, he could tell if the city was preparing for war.
Amanda was just a merchant. She also paid attention to intelligence, but she only paid attention to the changes in the prices of these goods and whether she could make money from the price difference. She wouldn't consciously pay attention to the meaning of these goods, let alone analyze the reasons behind them.
But Beta did!
So, Beta needed intelligence. But before he built his city and set up a suitable intelligence system, he could only rely on small groups with high mobility like merchant caravans to bring back intelligence from other places.
The next day, Beta saw Augustine. He had brought three professionals with him. But as a holder of the Round Table Knight System, Beta could tell at a glance that these three were Augustine's Knight Squires.
Beta was a bit curious. "Why did you only confer three instead of five?"
Augustine smiled. "I'm leaving two for my future descendants."
Beta was rather impressed by Augustine after hearing that. Although he looked like a boorish man, he was quite far-sighted.
Unlike him, Beta could currently only confer five Round Table Knight Squires, but after reaching the Legendary level, he could confer two more. As for the Demigod level … Because no player had reached that level, Beta didn't know what would happen to Divine Nobles when they reached that level.
But thinking about it, it couldn't be too bad. After all, the higher the level of a special profession, the more powerful or strange its abilities would be.
"I've built a new Wetland Caravan." Beta pointed in the direction of the caravan. "They should still be preparing the trucks and goods. You and your subordinates will be the guards of the caravan to protect them. In a year or two, when you're stronger, I'll have more important tasks for you. "
"As you wish, my Master." Augustine bowed slightly and left with his three Knight Squires.
The matter with the caravan came to an end. Next, he had to return to the wetland and see how the Yorks were doing.
Beta and the two women boarded the carriage on the way back.
The scenery along the way wasn't very good. There was snow, cold wind, and gloomy weather.
The carriage didn't move very fast in such an environment. But Beta wasn't in a hurry and just went back slowly.
Around dusk, Beta asked the coachman to stop on a flat ground on the side of the road and cleared the snow with magic. Then, he built a round house with a stone dome about a hundred square meters with delicate magic power control and Mud to Stone. He also built a stable at the back, where the horses and the carriage would be kept.
The coachman took out some fodder from the trunk of the carriage and fed it to the horses before entering the hut.
A ball of blue magic fire burned in the middle of the house, and it was very warm. The coachman sat down by the fire and stretched comfortably. Then, he looked around and asked curiously, "Sir, where are the two ladies?"
"They went to another place to rest," Beta said with a smile.
The coachman licked his lips and asked in awe, "Is it related to magic?"
Beta nodded and fiddled with the magic fire.
In fact, Beta could also go to the space to rest. There was a permanent temperature there, and there were mattresses. It would be much more comfortable than this place. However, he had to consider the thoughts of the coachman. After all, they had been together for some time. Even if they were not friends, they were still acquaintances. If the three of them suddenly disappeared and left the coachman in the wilderness, it would definitely be a very inhumane thing to do.
After all, the coachman was just a normal person, and there might be magic beasts in the wilderness. If something like that happened, Beta might not be able to save him in time.
Seeing that Beta seemed to be easy to talk to, the coachman gradually became talkative. From his wife to his children, he talked non-stop. Beta didn't feel bored and just listened quietly.
After midnight, the coachman was finally tired. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest, while Beta took out a book from the space to read.
Emma had arranged a lot of furniture in the space, including bookshelves. Naturally, there were books on them.
Although he had to stay up all night, Betta didn't feel tired. After all, he was a Master-level professional, and his Constitution wasn't low either. Not to mention one night, he could stay awake for five or six nights in a row without any problems.
As the night deepened, there was no other sound outside the stone house except for the wind and the occasional roar of beasts.
Joan Of Arc also felt a little sleepy. She flew back from the sky and landed on Beta's shoulder, closing her eyes to rest.
At about three in the morning, Beta, who was reading quietly, suddenly frowned. He tapped Joan Of Arc's head, and the latter swooshed out of the window into the night sky.
Beta pulled Shirley and Jessica out of the space and walked to the coachman. He shook him and said, "It seems that an enemy is coming for us."
The coachman, who was half asleep, immediately woke up in fear and asked in a panic, "What do we do? What do we do?"
"Don't be afraid. I'll take you into my space. Just hide in peace." Beta waved his hand and stored the carriage in his mansion.
Shirley came and asked, "What's the situation?"
Jessica also walked to Beta and grabbed his clothes. She seemed rather excited, as if she were eager to see how much stronger she had become after she became a Knight of the Round Table.
Beta and Joan Of Arc communicated telepathically for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, "It's not good. Joan Of Arc has seen more than fifteen people. They're surrounding us from all directions. I estimate that there are several assassins hiding in the shadows. "
"What do we do now?" asked Shirley. "Should we fight them or retreat?"
"Let's fight them." Beta revealed killing intent on his face. "They're obviously coming for us. I'm rather curious as to who's targeting me."
Shirley nodded and waved her hand to extinguish the magic fire in the room. The room was immediately plunged into darkness.
Beta had the blue eyes of the Cloud Dragon, Jessica had the bloodline of werewolves, and Shirley was a divine creature. All three of them had night vision and were good at fighting in dim environments.
Besides, Beta also had Mist Riding. He snapped his fingers, and an overwhelming mist surged out of his body and soon enshrouded an area of five hundred square meters.
"Okay, let's go out and greet the enemies."
However, after Beta took two steps, he grunted in surprise. Shocking magic waves came from far away.
"There's a Sorcerer of the wind class among the enemies. The mist spell has been broken."
Although Beta was somewhat surprised, he felt that it was reasonable. While Mist Riding was powerful, every spell had its own tricks. It was impossible to conquer the world with only one spell. Besides, since the enemies dared to come for them, they must've investigated them thoroughly. It wasn't strange that they knew that the red priest had a special mist spell.
However, this didn't affect Betta much. If Fog Riding could work, he would naturally have an easier time. He didn't feel much of a threat when Fog Riding was broken. After all, they weren't just people who relied on one skill for a living.
He made a gesture to the two women, and Shirley and Jessica nodded slightly.
Betta and Jessica left the room as fast as they could and disappeared into the surrounding darkness.
Shirley waited where she was. She reached out her hand and turned the whole stone house into mud again. Suddenly, her field of vision became wide.
Jessica was also good at fighting at night. After all, she had the bloodline of werewolves. When she was a street child, she also liked to come out at night to find food. Although she didn't know how to go invisible, she knew how to walk and move in the dark without being noticed.
Beta had been in the game for eight years. Naturally, he knew similar tricks as Jessica.
Shirley stayed where she was to attract attention. As a divine creature, she was very proud and didn't know how to hide.
After Beta hid in the darkness, he hid behind a big tree. It took him two seconds to connect with Joan Of Arc's spiritual consciousness. After confirming the location of the enemy Magicians, he sneaked over.
His speed seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. In less than twenty seconds, he had quietly walked to the vicinity of his destination, and then he heard the whispers of the enemy.
"Why is there only one woman? According to the intelligence, there should be one man and two women. If the coachman is included, there should be four people. "
"Wow, that woman is so beautiful. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Isn't it a waste to kill her?"
"It's not a waste. Dead women can still be used."
"You're right."
The two wind Magicians guided two whirlwinds to disperse the surrounding fog. Listening to their words, Beta sneered in his heart. Then, he flicked a gold coin at least ten meters away from him.
The coin rolled around in the bushes. When it landed on the ground, it shone with a dazzling golden light. In just three seconds, it turned into a two-meter-tall golden-armored knight.
The noise naturally attracted the enemy's attention. One of the Magicians said with a twisted face, "Enemy attack!"
Magicians were most vulnerable to close-range attacks. If they were Masters, they naturally had all kinds of life-saving methods. However, the two wind Magicians were only Elite at best.
As soon as the golden armored knight appeared, he began to run at a high speed. When he was about ten meters away from the two mages, he made an impact leap and after only two seconds, split one of the magicians in half.
