Chapter 85: An Unexpected Visitor
Several days later, two carriages belonging to the cadre Bar crossed through the canyon, preparing to pass through River Valley County and head toward South Harbor County.
The carriages were loaded with Magical Beasts and cargo used for disguise.
Each carriage was escorted by a mounted guard at the front, rear, left, and right.
Together with the two coachmen, there were six people in total.
In the forest on the canyon slope, Simon observed the situation through a spyglass, then turned to Leon behind him and said, “Forgive my bluntness, Mr. Fenrir, but this isn’t the best ambush site. I’d still recommend making a move after they pass through the canyon.”
“Why?” Leon asked.
“This place is clearly ideal for hiding. Why go to open ground instead?”
“Sir, precisely because anyone can tell people can hide on these slopes, they’ll be extra vigilant. Look at them constantly scanning around. Secondly, if we attack from a forested slope, we won’t be able to ride horses. If they suddenly speed up and flee once attacked, it’ll be hard for us to stop them. Chasing them on the plains would be more suitable,” Simon advised.
Seeing that Leon remained silent, Simon added, “You should trust our experience.”
