Chapter 202 (1/2)
202 – Ambush
Katy sat in front of Yang Feng and teasingly gave him a coquettish glance: “Hi, employer, what’s your name?”
Although Katy’s looks and temperament were far inferior than those of beauties like Jessica and Judy, but compared to ordinary girls, she was still considered a beauty. Besides, with her distinctive aura of a mercenary, she was quite attractive.
Yang Feng smiled and said: “My name is Ian.”
Katy inquired: “When do you want to go to the Rydgex City?”
“The sooner the better!”
“Then how about we a.s.semble tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning at the west gate?”
“Alright!”
Yang Feng left the tavern after the negotiations concluded. He stayed the night in the Woord City.
The next day in the morning, Yang Feng came to the west gate.
At the west gate, Katy and the rest of the White Lily Mercenary Group were already waiting for him.
Apart from Katy, the other four female warriors of the White Lily Mercenary Group were tall and muscular, and had ominous glints flash in their eyes. They were more manly than men.
When Yang Feng saw the four White Lily Mercenary Group’s burly female warriors, he thought: “The White Lily Mercenary Group, it’s such a nice name.”
Katy smiled sweetly at Yang Feng and said: “You’re early, get on!”
Yang Feng nodded and boarded a horse-drawn carriage.
The cost for renting the carriage was naturally also covered by Yang Feng.
“Set off!” With Katy’s order, the team left the Woord City.
The main road of the Woord City was in disrepair, it was full of pot-holes. Yang Feng felt quite uncomfortable in the shaking carriage.
He mused: “No wonder it was difficult for people in ancient times to travel far.
It feels so uncomfortable to sit in this carriage. If it wasn’t for my physical const.i.tution, then I would have been jolted silly.”
In the Turandot Subcontinent, Yang Feng’s true body had traveled either by plane or magic carpet, which was very comfortable. In the Great Cloud Dynasty, he rode a variety of advanced alchemical secret treasures, which were also quite comfortable. Now that he came to the Feisuo Plane, he experienced first hand how backwards it was.
“Ian, there’s a problem ahead of us!”
Suddenly, Katy’s voice came from outside the carriage and the carriage stopped.
Yang Feng creased his brows lightly and alighted the carriage.
He looked around and discovered that the carriage had reached a very remote place.
The road was flanked on both sides by a hillside covered in lush underbrush. It was an ideal place for ambushes. Indistinct human figures could be seen on the hillside.
With a grave expression, Katy walked up to Yang Feng and said unhurriedly: “I suspect that they are members of the Storm Wolves Mercenary Group, who often murder their employers half way through the journey and pillage their riches. I’m afraid that this time, they have their eyes set on you.”
“If they hadn’t come, then that would be it, but since they came, then I’ll give them an unforgettable lesson.” Yang Feng smiled coldly, then silently recited an incantation, pointed at the sky, and cast Magic Eye. With a flicker of magic radiance, an enormous eye formed midair. The eyeball rotated 360°, clearly seeing everything on both sides of the hillside.
On both sides of the hillside, there were indeed over twenty fully armed warriors lying in ambush. Lek, the captain of the Storm Wolves Mercenary Group stood among the warriors.
“A Wizard!!”
“He’s a Wizard!”
“…”
When the over twenty warriors saw Magic Eye in the sky, their complexions turned deathly pale and their eyes flashed with a trace of dismay.
On the Feisuo Plane, Wizard was synonymous with mystery and strength. These warriors had only heard of the strength and deeds of Wizard from some myths and legends. Seeing Magic Eye, they were shocked and their courage gave way to fear, they no longer had any intentions to fight.
“Ian, you’re actually a Wizard, amazing. I might have fallen for you!” Katy stared fixedly at Yang Feng. With charm rippling in her eyes and a coquettish and charming smile adorning her face, she walked up to Yang Feng.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed past her eyes, she pulled out a dagger, whose blade flashed with faint blue light, and stabbed at Yang Feng.
