Baron Amborite had a lot of knights under his command, but there were not many rogues, and they were not strong enough to keep an eye on Elton's group. They were able to sneak out of the inn without even realizing it.
The convoy followed the field path and went all the way north until they reached the foot of Veron Ridge. They then followed the path that connected the three castles to the east.
After the convoy passed the eastern castle, the road became bumpy and they had to slow down.
Following a simple road that had just been repaired, the convoy entered the Jackalan Valley.
Seeing the convoy enter the valley, Elton and Philip looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
The convoy followed the newly repaired road in the valley and didn't arrive at the Gnoll Plains until late at night.
The Black Fist priests who had been waiting for a long time immediately took over the carriage.
The coachman and guards followed Baron's order and handed the carriage directly to the priests. They didn't communicate with the priests and turned around to start the return journey.
Elton, who met up with Ruthven, witnessed the whole process and recorded it all with a special magic item.
Seeing the priests take over the carriage and continue north along the Gnoll Valley, Elton hesitated for a moment and ordered Rhansey and Morey to continue following the convoy. He and Tulu returned with the coachman and guards who took over the convoy.
Elton and Philip, who were waiting at the entrance of the valley, attacked the returning coachman and guards.
They killed the ordinary coachman and guards and left the two knights who were responsible for escorting the convoy.
He used the truth-telling serum to interrogate the two knights, but he didn't get anything valuable from them.
The two knights were just following orders and didn't know who they were dealing with.
Elton couldn't get the confession he wanted from the two knights, so he could only take his men into the valley again. He left Philip and the other half of his men at the entrance of the valley to support them.
In order to get the full bounty, Elton had to get direct evidence that the Black Fist priests were related to Avon Lake or the ogres.
Feng Chou, who had been tailing Eldon's group, had finished watching the show. He ordered the Green Owl to overtake Eldon's group and catch up to the convoy. Qiankun Pagoda used the Green Owl's sharp vision to monitor the Black Fist Priestess's every move.
After more than an hour of arduous travel in the valley, the convoy finally approached the northern exit of the valley.
Near the exit at the north end of the valley, the valley was particularly narrow. With the help of Qing Xiao's keen dim vision, the Cosmos Tower found that there were many Jackalan scouts lurking in this narrow valley of more than 100 meters. These scouts were obviously hunters. They used to blend into nature and perfectly hid themselves in the woods at the foot of the mountain.
The two Rogues sneaking behind the convoy did not seem to be discovered by the hidden sentries in the valley. Even when they walked out of the valley, the hidden sentries did not react.
But what the convoy did next made Feng Chou realize that the two Rogues had been discovered.
Not long after the convoy left the valley, they stopped to rest.
The two Rogues from the El Chamber of Commerce also stopped about seventy to eighty meters behind the convoy. They hid under a big tree by the roadside and waited quietly.
Out of the sight of the two Rogues, several Rogues in the convoy quickly disappeared into the forest on both sides of the road.
Then, the convoy continued to move forward. The two Rogues did not suspect anything and continued to follow the convoy.
When they passed by the convoy's resting place, they were attacked by several powerful Rogues and were immediately captured.
Under the effect of the truth-telling serum, Rhansey and Morey did not last long before they told the truth.
Hearing that the two Rogues had companions, the convoy immediately sent out two Black Fist priests to lead a dozen warriors and Rogues to the Jackalan valley.
After this group of people entered the valley, the hidden Jackalan sentries in the valley also split up and joined the team. They searched all the way to the south of the valley.
Elton, who knew nothing about this, bumped into this group of terrifying enemies.
This scene made Feng, who was observing from the sky, frown.
He could not help but sigh. "I knew it wouldn't be that easy."
Disappointed as he was, Feng Chou did not intend to go down and help. He was not arrogant enough to think that he was a mere level 6 warrior.
He could decide the outcome of a battle of this level and scale.
Feng Chou witnessed Elton bumping into the search team formed by the Black Fist Order and the Jackalan hunters. He was besieged and killed. He let Qiankun Pagoda film the whole process.
After interrogating Elton, they knew that he had companions at the south entrance of the Jackalan valley. The Black Fist Order did not hesitate to go straight to the south entrance of the valley.
Feng Chou could only sigh as he watched Philip's group being surrounded, ambushed, and cleanly annihilated.
Feng Chou gave the video to Qiankun Pagoda and had him combine it with the images he took of the Ogre bandit camp. Elton's group followed the convoy and found the Ogre bandit camp near Murloc Lake. However, they were discovered near the camp and were completely wiped out by the Ogres and Jackalans.
After that, he took a dozen or so photos from the processed video that could explain the problem …
The Green Owl returned to Amborite Town and landed in a small alley not far from the Old Man York Inn.
Feng Chou appeared in the same place as the Green Owl landed. He had used a spell to change his appearance.
It was already past midnight, and the tavern on the first floor of the Old Man York Inn was no longer noisy.
When Feng Chou pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in, he woke up the bartender behind the bar. The middle-aged bartender raised his head and looked at him. He muttered a few words in confusion and dissatisfaction, then asked in a tired and hoarse voice, "It's rare to see a customer this late. What would you like to order?"
Feng Chou smiled and said, "A cup of Casalanca gold wine …" As he said that, he walked to the counter and threw a small gold lion on the counter, making a crisp sound.
Seeing the gold coin, the bartender immediately smiled.
Taking the cup from the bartender, Feng Chou said to the bartender, "If you're willing to do me a small favor, not only will you not have to look for this gold lion, you can also get another one when you come back."
The bartender looked greedily and warily at Feng Chou and asked, "What do you want?"
Feng Chou took out an envelope and handed it to the bartender. He said, "Give this letter to the customer in the fourth room on the left on the third floor … Don't be afraid of disturbing the customer. I guess he's not asleep yet … It's just delivering a letter. You don't have to take any risks."
The bartender thought for a moment and reached out to take the envelope. He said, "Okay, I hope you're not playing with me."
Feng Chou said, "Look, you've already got a small gold lion, haven't you?
It's just delivering a letter. "
The bartender took the letter and walked out of the counter. He walked up the stairs in the corner of the tavern.
Feng Chou said from behind him, "I think that after that guest reads this letter, he will definitely be willing to come and see me immediately."
The bartender's footsteps paused for a moment before he quickly walked upstairs.
Feng Chou said this because he was worried that the bartender would throw the letter away and come down to lie to him. After all, the bartender didn't look like an honest person.
