Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 49:

“How can a mere group of wild wolves kill me?”

“And… how dare they kill a lord? This is a provocation to all the nobles. All the nobles will hunt them down to their deaths! ”

“Looks like there is indeed a huge conspiracy.”

Aaron remembered the premonition he had the last time he tried the darkness spirituality. Suddenly he felt that it was all traceable.

“The benefits of killing me are not great… I don’t have many enemies either. The culprit could be the rest of the Davis family, or …”

He looked in the direction of Sotos Castle, his eyes filled with disappointment.

…

A moment later.

Aaron was dressed for battle. He held his sword with a solemn expression.

“Lord Baron?”

Eight Finger, who was wearing leather armour, was a little dazed when he saw this scene.

It had been a long time since he had seen Aaron like this after the last war.

“The security team and the guards only have about 30 people. That is not enough!”

Aaron’s expression was solemn. He said loudly, “Issue a conscription order. Each family will send one adult male to make a total of 100 men!

In ancient times, it was actually very difficult for small feudal lords to raise many conscripts.

Sotos Castle, for example, had only about 100 men. Now that they had occupied the entire Green Forest, they had only grown to a few hundred.

The guards in Aaron’s territory had always been the old soldiers from his own team who were willing to move over. Together with some locally recruited soldiers, there were only about 30 people.

But now that they knew there was a huge conspiracy, they had to go all out!

After summoning hundreds of men, There were no roaming bandits in the entire Green Forest to bring them down. If there were, they would not be bandits. They would definitely be lords!

A conspiracy was a conspiracy because it could not be discovered!

“Yes, Lord.”

Eight Finger was a little confused, but he went to give the order anyway.

Not long after, a large group of people began to gather.

As he walked out of the mansion, Aaron, who still had a little bit of spirituality left, felt a gaze on him.

He looked in one direction and didn’t see anyone, but there was a residential area. Without thinking, he pointed with his whip and said, “Go and surround that area. Arrest everyone and put them in prison. Wait for me to come back and talk!”

“Eight Finger, lead the way!”

“Yes!”

Eight Finger’s expression was stern, as if he had returned to the army. The group of people walked in a certain direction.

…

In a valley.

A tall wild wolf was caressing a crossbow, unable to bear to part with it.

These crossbows were of the highest quality. They used to be seen only in the military, and he had three of them!

Not only that, he could also see that his subordinates were all wearing leather armour, and their weapons were also very good. They had reached the level of the elite of the regular army.

With that kind of lethality, even if they had fewer men, they could still fight the Baron’s guards!

Not to mention that it was an ambush!

Last night’s attack was originally a decoy. They deliberately left bloodstains on the road to lure the lord into a trap!

“Pay attention later. When the enemy enters the ambush, aim all three crossbows at this noble!”

Wild Wolf grinned. “After we kill him, we’ll all be rewarded. It’ll be enough for us to buy a big piece of farmland in the south and enjoy our retirement!”

“Don’t worry, boss!”

A one-eyed dragon also held a crossbow and said excitedly, “With this, we can rob those nobles whenever we want.”

“Rob? After that, we’ll have to leave this damn place.”

Wild Wolf was very clear-headed. He even understood that he was not a wolf, but a vicious dog. He would bite whoever his master told him to!

“But … to be able to kill a noble is not bad.”

He licked his lips and a bloodthirsty expression appeared on his face.

“Boss, not good!”

A person ran over from a distance. It was their scout – Rosen. As he ran, he shouted, “That noble is here, but he brought more than a hundred people with him!”

“Damn it!”

Wild Wolf cursed. “That little bastard really is afraid of death!”

He thought for a moment and said reluctantly, “Give up the trap and retreat! There’s still a chance in the future! ”

“Boss…” The one-eyed man was reluctant.

“I cooked one pot of rice, but ten pots of people came to eat. Even if there is a trap, it’s useless …” Wild Wolf said disappointedly.

His mind was still clear. He knew that his men were not enough to kill the enemy.

Even if it was two or three against one, the enemy would be able to kill him.

Besides, the enemy was so watchful. They might have discovered something.

…

Aaron led the group, letting the scout lead the way. Soon they saw a small valley.

“Sir, the enemy is in the valley!”

Eight Fingers bowed and said, “There is a camp there.

“Send someone in to take a look. In addition, also send someone to search the area.”

Aaron was at the entrance to the valley, but he did not go in.

After a while, Eight Fingers returned with an ugly expression on his face. “There is no one in the valley. However, we have found some arrangements outside the valley. It may be a trap.”

Speaking of which, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If Lord Aaron hadn’t gathered so many people and led a group of them in, he might have died here today!

“What about the direction in which Wild Wolf escaped?”

Aaron asked.

“It should be near Knight Iman’s Emerald Territory.” Eight Fingers looked at the footprints and said with certainty.

“Good, Knight Iman still owes me a favour. Send a message and have him mobilise the his men to help with the encirclement!”

If he did not use the favour, it would be invalid. Aaron did not care about Knight Iman and gave the order directly.

He was ready to catch them all in one swoop. If Knight Iman did not help, he would use pendulum method and perform divination again. He would definitely be able to catch them!

…

Three days later.

Knight Iman deserved to be called the veteran of this area. He gathered many hunters to help him. In the end, Aaron was able to block the Wild Wolf bandits in front of a mountain.

“Sir Aaron, shall we attack by force?”

A man who looked like a hunter asked as he looked at a small hill surrounded by hundreds of militiamen.

They had been sent by Knight Iman. He had previously ordered them to obey Lord Aaron’s orders.

Aaron sneered, “Pass on the order. Burn this place down!”

Hundreds of people worked together and quickly created an isolation zone. Then they lit torches and began to burn the mountain.

On the mountain.

“Even if I die, I’ll bite off a piece of their flesh!”

The wild wolf, forced into a dead end, howled reluctantly. Suddenly, his expression changed. “This is…”

“Fire… The enemy is setting fire!”

One-Eyed Dragon shouted. Suddenly, he threw down his weapon and ran down the mountain.

He did not want to be burned alive or smoked to death. That was too painful.

Seeing this scene, the Wild Wolf felt that his last wish had been shattered. He could not help but howl in despair.
