Chapter 800 -678 Bandits_3
Xu Shuo retreated behind the tree, his gaze flickering slightly.
Sola suddenly looked toward a certain spot, her aura at that moment seemed quite fierce.
“The first wave of attack was a trap already set, the enemies are only ambushing from the north and west!”
Sola asserted confidently.
The first volley of arrows came from all around, even from above, but the second volley was densely concentrated only from these two directions, and the figures she had seen previously were also on these two sides.
This group of bandits likely attacked from both sides in a pincer movement.
The north blocked their escape route, and the west was convenient for observation.
Xu Shuo looked at her in surprise.
In times of crisis, this woman’s thinking was actually quite sharp, at least her observation skills were much better than that of someone else.
“Mr. Los, I’ll help you block the attacks from the west, and you take the opportunity to run over here!”
But what she hadn’t expected in that moment was.
That Xu Shuo, with his stronger magic energy, actually didn’t need her help.

Xu Shuo had also thought of this issue.
So he frowned and said, “It’s not good, Sola, don’t consume too much of your magic energy, otherwise the journey later will be difficult to withstand the cold.”
Sola was taken aback, just about to speak again, when suddenly from the northwest direction came a piercing noise of combat!
The ground rumbled loudly, and a team of fierce horses charged from the north.
They wore black armor, headscarves covering their faces, every one of them fierce, holding long spears and sharp blades, numbering forty or fifty people!
She suddenly widened her eyes: “There are rather too many bandits here!”
To deal with just two people, is it necessary?
“We are not a caravan! Capturing us won’t get you anything, we are visiting the Silver City-State, guests of the Duke of Silver!” Sola immediately shouted loudly.
“Which noble guest travels alone on horseback here! Hahaha, girl, we don’t want your possessions, just to take you back for some amusement for the brothers!”
Someone in the distance among the fierce horses laughed loudly, and this was followed by a wave of mocking laughter and obscene language.
A cold murderous intent flashed through Sola’s eyes.
She tried to get closer to Xu Shuo hiding behind the tree, but from the west numerous arrows flew out, seemingly deliberately blocking her.
“Sola, first get out of this forest!”
In a critical moment, Xu Shuo suddenly spoke up.
Sola looked at him in fear.
“No one is blocking the path behind, leave this forest and take a detour from another place to Silver City-State, but remember not to go through the forest again, you have seen the route before,” Xu Shuo said quickly.
“Mr. Los!” Sola sounded a bit anxious.
“Don’t waste time, if we delay further, we both won’t be able to escape, and if you flee, it can also draw away some enemies,” he said.
While speaking, Xu Shuo blinked at her.
Sola furrowed her brows, as she saw the approaching bandits getting closer, she pursed her lips, suddenly turned her horse’s head, and fled backwards.
“Why is the girl running!”
“Don’t worry, maybe we won’t play with you, but keep you as a bride for our boss!”
“Hahahahaha——”
The arrogant shouting of that group continued, arrows still tried to stop her from behind.
Sola’s expression was cold, as she used magic to block some of the arrows targeting the horse, took a chance to look back, then saw the young man quickly climbing up a high fir tree, his figure concealed by dense branches.
The bandits who rushed over stopped under the tree while others continued chasing her, with some on horseback readying their bows.
A long spear grazed past her ear, Sola quickly diverted her gaze and leaned to avoid it.
The bandits’ horses were strong and fast, and the distance between them was quickly closing.
Since they had been rushing on their journey earlier, their mount was already exhausted, now dodging trees and blockages in the forest felt even more constrained.
Sola frowned, remembering the magic the young man had taught her earlier.
She gritted her teeth and once again called upon her magic energy, using it directly on the horse!
“Neigh~”
The mount let out a somewhat painful whinny, and in the next moment, it dashed out like an arrow released from its bowstring, rapidly increasing the distance between them, and disappeared in front up ahead.
The pursuing bandits were tongue-tied, their speed also slowed down.
“Tsk tsk, that girl is ruthless, are the remaining dozens of kilometers to be covered on foot?”
This coniferous forest is still far from the Silver City-State.
That magic probably drained the horse’s vitality and life essence to surge forward at its final speed, and it could only hold up for a few more kilometers.
The bandits shook their heads, after a token chase they stopped and turned back listlessly.
