Although Li Lin asked Anjie to take it lightly, he was eventually disturbed by the old warrior's stubbornness because he did not have much leisure and time to waste it. Therefore, when the old warrior said "I would rather die than obey", he readily asked him to fulfill his promise, and then directly obtained information through soul-questioning. In the face of the powerful magic power, the old warrior's soul did not even have any resistance, so he confessed completely, and was sent to the world of death by Li Lin.

"That's why I hate captives."

After getting the news he wanted, Li Lin stood up and stared at the corpse of the warrior who had lost his vitality in front of him.

"Ask them information is a waste of time and energy, but on the contrary, the dead are still talking a lot - at least they won't deceive them."

"So, master, what did you find?"

Angela sat next to her curiously and asked.

"Some interesting information, if these situations are true, maybe my ideas can really work..."

As he said that, Li Lin clapped his palms, as if he didn't plan to talk about this matter any more.

"Forget it, let's talk about these things later. Let's solve the current problem first."

It is easy for Li Lin and Anjiela to solve those ambushes. Not to mention that in order to prevent people from entering and escaping, these people guarded most of their troops at the entrance of the black road and the passages on both sides. Judging from this arrangement, they obviously did not know that there were mages in it, otherwise they should have known that in the face of mages who could perform teleportation techniques, such a single-scale ambush would not have any effect at all.

Therefore, when Li Lin and Anjiela reappeared in front of the Chamber of Commerce and the group, old Pikachu even wondered if he had hallucinations day and night. Until he was sure that Li Lin and Anjiela were real people rather than hallucinations, he ran up happily and hurriedly bowed to the two of them.

"Oh, two sirs, you are back... You don't know, we were in great trouble during this period when several of you were away..."

Then, the fat merchant quickly told them what happened. While his caravan was waiting here, the damn soldiers emerged from somewhere and tried to attack their caravan. At the beginning, the mercenaries were able to resist, but later there were more and more people, and the situation became very bad. After losing several subordinates, everyone had to build a barrier through the Chamber of Commerce carriages and block these guys outside. The soldiers were taking over

After surrounding the place, there was no big move. Although the fat merchants and mercenaries planned to rush out several times, they all ended in failure. What's more, there were few people here, and even if they emitted signals, they could not find half of reinforcements. After all, the dark road itself was hidden, so naturally it would not be in a place where there were many people and easy to find. Therefore, after several failures in the breakout, everyone had to give up their efforts helplessly and became a turtle in the jar. Fortunately, the caravan itself brought a lot of dry food, and these mercenaries could still support it.

As for the villagers in the village, the fat merchant suspected that they should be in the same group as the soldiers. After all, they were raided at night, but before that, the village had no reaction at all. At present, they must be a co-party of these guys. They originally thought that this was just an ordinary deep mountain village, but now it doesn't seem like that. Speaking of this, the fat merchant beat his chest and stamped his feet, showing great regret. It seems that this incident had hit him quite a big blow, but to take a step back, since everyone has chosen to take this path, these dangers should naturally be considered.

"What do you think of those guys?"

Li Lin was not interested in the fat businessman's hindsight, so he directly interrupted the fat businessman's self-reflection and asked. This made the fat businessman finally come back from complaints and regrets and restored his true nature as a businessman.

"These guys are definitely not ordinary robbers."

He spoke.

"Even the cunning robbers can't advance and retreat well. Those mercenaries are no longer novices. They once deliberately showed flaws, hoping to kill these damn guys. If ordinary bandits had probably rushed over with a fool, but these guys were not fooled. Even if there were smart people among the robbers, they might not be so smart. Moreover, the Northland mercenary group is well-known, and even robbers can't afford to offend them. This time they were suppressed and beaten so badly... I doubt they should be the regular army of which country."

“The answer is correct.”

Regarding the fat businessman's speculation, Li Lin nodded slightly to agree, and then he said something that made the fat businessman and the mercenary captain stunned.

"These guys are Kudell's soldiers."

“…………”

"Kudel's soldiers?"

The fat businessman screamed in disbelief. He took a step back, not knowing what to say at all.

"How did Kudell's soldiers be here? And, how did they come here?!"

"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"

Li Lin looked at the ground.

"It seems that someone is interested in this underground passage just like us."

"But, but..."

In this way, the fat merchants could roughly understand the reason. It was obvious that Kudell seemed to have a worse relationship with Lalia, so they did not know how to find the legendary black road and transported soldiers. This is a typical ulterior motive, and this village was probably built by Kudell's army for disguise and reconnaissance. What's more, they might have killed the original residents here and replaced it. After all, this place is sparsely populated, and if you want to do something, it will definitely be difficult to discover, but...

"But, this passage is occupied by dark elves. Even Kudell's army cannot come here so easily."

The fat merchants didn't believe it. He thought they knew some of the dark elves. Will they retreat because they succumbed to the military force of a country? This is not something that those dangerous dark elves would do. But if they were to look for Li Lin, these soldiers were really Kudell's soldiers, then things might become very troublesome. Judging from their well-trained appearance, they did not look like those fugitives.

"But they did come here, considering their current location, it is more likely to come here through the Black Road."

Li Lin seemed very calm, although in fact he was also a little surprised when he got this information from the old soldier.

"Then, it's very likely that they have reached an agreement with the Dark Elves, or have reached an agreement."

After explaining to the fat merchant and the mercenary captain, Li Lin didn't say much. He walked to the side and contacted Nia through the power of spells. He told her what happened here. Like Li Lin, Nia felt very strange.

"If Kudr's army wants to pass through the black road, the dark elves will never be ignorant of this. You ask Maya. If she doesn't know the situation, then ask several other city mistresses with large powers to find out the truth from them. See what the situation is."

Faced with Li Lin's order, Nia quickly responded, knowing that this is not a trivial matter.

From Li Lin's perspective, he absolutely did not believe that these dark elves would allow humans to pass so easily. He could feel that there must be some conspiracy behind him. Although he could calculate a rough idea now, it is still difficult to say what exactly is. While he issued an order to Nia, Anjiela also telepathically called the two sisters and the remaining mercenaries back into the caravan. They were originally responsible for patrolling the periphery, but according to Mina and Fina, there seemed to be many soldiers on the periphery, but most of their attention was focused on the entrance of the cave, so they did not find these "flies that slipped through the net." In the report, Mina mentioned that there were a hundred people responsible for guarding the entrance of the cave, which was not a small number.

After judging the situation in front of him, Li Lin summoned everyone and ordered them to hurry up and rest, and then set off. The mercenary captain was the first to express his confusion about his order.

"Dear sir, the situation is now in a critical situation. We should indeed get out early, but we should go there..."

"Don't forget what we are here for."

Li Lin waved his hand.

"Our goal is naturally the black road. If we set out towards the black road, do we have any questions?"

"But... sir... there are many Kudell's soldiers there..."

This time the fat businessman spoke out, and he couldn't understand why Li Lin actually chose to fall into the trap.

"If they come again, we..."

"Is this still necessary to ask? Fat pig?"

Anjie, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage next to her, closed the fan with a "pop", and interrupted the fat businessman's question without hesitation. She showed a cold and evil smile, which was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at.
