Early in the morning, rays of sunlight gradually spread across the land.
At the edge of a desolate forest, the sound of horse hooves could be heard everywhere.
In front of them was a plain, and on the plain, there were obvious traces that couldn't be hidden at all.
"Have we reached the place?"
A middle-aged man looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself with a frown.
He was wearing a dark white armor and riding a black horse. He looked mighty and tall, like a powerful knight.
"It should be in front." Beside him, a voice sounded and replied.
It was a robust man who looked to be in his thirties. At this moment, he was also wearing armor and slowly riding a horse.
Behind them, Adil followed at a moderate pace and was also looking at the traces in front of him.
"Adil."
The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Adil, "Bring some people to the front and take a look first. Remember to be careful."
"Yes, Lord Gru."
Adil looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and replied. Then, he slowly walked forward with the knight behind him.
The plain in front of them was very quiet. Although there were a lot of traces, the people who occupied this place were no longer there. Only an empty space was left.
Adil took the lead and casually scanned the surroundings, checking the traces in the surroundings, hoping to find some useful information.
[Detected a large number of unknown scent molecules. Result of comparison: adult male.]
Walking to this place, the mechanical voice sounded in his mind again.
Hearing the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil suddenly froze.
He looked towards the far west and didn't speak for a long time.
That was the direction that the A.I. Chip indicated.
During the inspection, the scent of the group of people spread all the way to the west, all the way to the forest in the distance.
"The direction is wrong …"
Looking at that direction, this thought arose in Adil's mind, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of light.
Before setting off, he had a detailed understanding of the terrain of this area.
According to his original calculations, if the group of bandits wanted to escape from Count Boria's territory and escape from the pursuit, the best choice would be to escape to the north.
That was the quickest and safest way to leave this territory. Whether they wanted to escape back to the border or plunder other nobles' territories, they had to take that route.
"Lord Adil, the results of the examination are out!" A voice called out to him.
Adil looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with a group of people.
This was his second-in-command, Asila, who was also a powerful warrior.
"Judging from the traces at the scene, the bandits should have headed north."
Asila looked at Adil with a serious expression on her face and said seriously.
His words were met with Adil's deep gaze.
Adil looked at his deputy, his deep and calm gaze fixed on this middle-aged man, almost making the other party's hair stand on end.
"Go back and report to Lord Ge Lu first. I'll bring my men and check here for a while longer."
His expression was calm as he looked at his deputy in Silence.
"This …" Asila was stunned. He looked troubled and looked to the side.
Following his gaze, Adil looked in the direction where they came from.
At that moment, there was no one there anymore. It seemed that they had returned to the camp.
Looking at this scene, Adil looked at his deputy in front of him calmly, "Bring the others and follow me to other places to take a look."
"What?" Asila was stunned. He didn't know what Adil meant.
"I seemed to have seen someone walking past from the west just now. Maybe some of the bandits stayed behind and hid there."
Adil said casually as he stared at Asila's face from the corner of his eyes.
When he expressed that he was going to search towards the west, Adil clearly saw Asila's calm face suddenly change.
He stood at the same spot and forced a smile at Adil, "Sir, we have checked the surroundings very carefully. Those bandits did escape to the north, it can't be wrong …"
Before he finished speaking, he looked at Adil's calm eyes and could not help but change his words with a bitter smile, "Alright, if you insist, Sir."
Adil nodded, raised his right hand and rode his horse forward slowly. It seemed that he was really going to check towards the west.
Looking at Adil's movement, Asila secretly made a gesture the moment he turned around. Then, he hurriedly rode his horse and followed behind.
As they walked forward slowly, the surrounding warriors got on their horses and quickly chased after Adil.
Soon, they walked past the spacious plain.
They crossed a small river and came to a forest. Then, they got off their horses and walked on foot.
Here, a large number of footprints appeared again. They appeared almost undisguised.
Looking at this scene, Adil frowned subconsciously. It seemed that his attention was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him and he slowly walked over.
Around them, the rest of the warriors walked forward, and when Adil was unaware, they silently surrounded him.
Ka!!
The sound of a longsword being unsheathed was suddenly heard. A little sword light flashed in the air, faintly carrying the fluctuation of life energy.
Dang!!
A black longsword was suddenly unsheathed and fiercely collided with the longsword behind him.
"You can use the knight's secret skill, who exactly are you?"
In that instant, Adil suddenly turned around. He had unsheathed the longsword in his hand and looked behind him coldly.
In front of him, a shadow quickly fell backward. It seemed that the shadow couldn't bear the power of the previous confrontation and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Asila's heart shook. He looked at Adil with a trace of horror.
"Who am I? Of course, I am your subordinate, Sir Adil. "
Not long after, listening to Adil's words, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"I don't remember having a knight level assistant."
Adil's expression was calm and didn't seem to be affected at all. At this moment, he looked at the person opposite him without any expression on his face. "Tell me, who sent you here."
On the other side, Asila didn't answer this question. He only remained silent for a while and then laughed. "It seems that all of us have underestimated you.
"You have obviously been a knight for a long time, but you have to pretend that you have just been promoted. What is your purpose?"
He looked at Adil in front of him with a cold expression. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, Adil's strength was beyond his expectations. It was far beyond the scope of a knight who had just been promoted.
