Chapter 239 Part 2: Error

When afternoon arrived, they finally reached their destination

The place was a valley There was a stretch of forest on the right while a hillside rested on the left side The rowth However, after having played host to the cos of countless men, a dirt road was formed

Chen Xiaolian did not see where Merlin’sHe simply continued to lead his ain, Bighead perfor to this fellow, he had cole wine before He knew of a place behind the hill where the lands caved in to form a concave area The ill not blow across that spot; considering how the hill would also block anyone fro that spot, it became the best spot to hide in

Chen Xiaolian personally ran forward to inspect the spot and found that it was the back area of the hillside A sourd mouth was naturally formed there There were mountains on all three sides while a small stretch of flat land lay in theas a basketball court

Additionally, the other side of the hillside was not too steep It was not difficult to cli as two men were to keep watch above the hillside, their safety would be assured

“Good place!” Chen Xiaolian praised

Bei Tai too, nodded his head and said, “If we set up an ambush here, it is likely that ill not be discovered”

“Then, rest up Our target will probably only arrive here at night” Chen Xiaolian weighed the ht, no fires are allowed! Whoever dares to so s broken!”

His command to prohibit fires did not cause too much complaints from the mercenaries

Ascold water andon hard, black bread

Within the valley, the round

At theso He knew that everyone needed to rest up before the battle began so as to restore their endurance

However, it would appear that Heaven was so to let them have that

After the sun went down, the wind started blowing and it began to rain

This caused Chen Xiaolian to feel so watch

Chen Xiaolian stayed in the hiding spot and had the mercenaries move as close as possible to the side of the hill so as to avoid to rain

Unfortunately, as evening arrived, the rain appeared to have gotten even heavier

The mercenaries were co his ht to suppress them, these motley bunch would have scattered as they ran to the forest area for shelter

Chen Xiaolian quietly sat on the side while listening to the cos of the mercenaries Occasionally, he would check the tiet to pay attention to the systeuard arame participant appear from the enemy camp?

Would it be Players? Or Awakened ones?

…

Soht, Chen Xiaolian was in thehie fro!”

Chen Xiaolian quickly jumped up!

“Everyone, stay quiet!”

Chen Xiaolian quickly ran around the hiding spot to get theas they slept and were roused up All of them pressed close to the hillside and crouched down

Bei Tai continued to keep watch from atop the hill

At that moment, Bei Tai had been drenched from head to toe in rainwater

The rain see winds were still blowing

Froures could be seentorches However, due to the winds, the fires from the torches swayed about and were limited in their ability to illu on horses They were all infantry soldiers, just like how Merlin said they would be

Bei Tai was crouched down upon the hillside, not le movement He quietly made an estimate of the number of soldiers on the ene in a disorderly manner – as expected, such was the standard of the medieval army There was not much discipline there

However, at the back of the ar uniformed attire The shields that these men carried had a white cross ehtly stricter attitude within these lance was sufficient to tell that they were the commanders here

However, the dirt road had turned muddy due to the rain and it was difficult for the horses to ht did not help

Bei Tai quietly estimated that there were at least 1,000 men on the enehest expected nu and it took theh the place where Bei Tai was keeping watch

So while others shouted There was also the neigh of the horses

After these men had finally moved past him, Bei Tai quietly slipped down the hill and went toward Chen Xiaolian He wiped away the rainwater on his face

“There’s close to 1,000 htly more than e expected” Bei Tai quickly continued, “There are no mounted soldiers However, there were two that looked like co on horses Their equipment is pretty decent About one third of theular army”

Chen Xiaolian noted that Bei Tai had spoken to him in Chinese

He was quick to understand and he nodded his head

Chen Xiaolian turned around and saw that all theat him with complicated expressions Some were anxious, soer

“Listen up!”
