Chapter 94: Ambush
When Zhao Qian heard that Zhao Hai wanted him to investigate the background of those people, he couldn't help but say, "Young master, this might not be easy. They won't admit which force they belong to, and they also have a large number of death warriors. I can't get too close to their camp, and due to my physical condition, I can't blend in. It will be quite difficult to gather any information."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, don't force it. Just find out where they will be resting tomorrow. As long as you confirm their location, let me know immediately."
Zhao Qian responded and fell silent.
Zhao Hai immediately turned and entered the villa. As soon as he stepped through the door, he called out loudly, "Grandma Merlin, Grandma Merlin!"
Merlin was resting in the villa, and upon hearing Zhao Hai's urgent call, she quickly came out and asked, "Young master, what's the matter?" Meg also heard the commotion and came out of her room. She had been meditating but was interrupted by Zhao Hai's voice. Now, Meg was brainstorming ways to increase her power, wanting to have greater strength to protect Zhao Hai.
Seeing that Merlin had come down, Zhao Hai quickly approached her and said, "Grandma Merlin, Zhao Qian just sent a message saying that someone is coming to Rubble Mountain to deal with us, and there are quite a few of them—three mages, one of whom is a light mage, three high-level warriors, three hundred mid-level warriors, and one hundred death warriors. They might attack Green Stone Manor tomorrow night."
When Merlin heard Zhao Hai say this, her face showed no signs of shock. Instead, a glint of killing intent flashed in her eyes as she asked, "Can we find out their identities?"
Merlin had followed Adam's father to the battlefield in the past, and during this time, they had been suppressed enough. Now that someone was coming to provoke them, even Merlin, with her good temper, couldn't tolerate it. Moreover, as an eighth level grand mage, she had her own dignity and would not allow others to offend her.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We can't find out because of the death warriors. Zhao Qian doesn't dare to get close, and since he is now an undead being, it’s impossible for him to blend in. Therefore, it’s really hard to identify which force those people belong to. However, I've asked him to pay attention to their movements. It would be best if he could find out where they will rest tomorrow, as I plan to set up an ambush there."
Merlin was taken aback for a moment after hearing Zhao Hai's words, but she quickly nodded and said, "That's a good plan. However, our current strength is still too small. I think we need to call Zhao Zui and the others back. Besides, those people might not act tomorrow; they might wait for the old man to return before making their move. Otherwise, they wouldn't feel at ease leaving someone like the old man outside."
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment and then immediately thought of something, but his expression changed as he said, "Grandma Merlin, do you think they might have already sent someone to deal with Grandpa Galen? What if Grandpa Galen gets caught off guard?"
Merlin smiled slightly and said, "Young master, there's no need to worry. The old man trained with the general for several years and is quite familiar with the tactics of death warriors. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the palace at night. Don't worry; he will definitely come back."
Only then did Zhao Hai feel relieved. He quickly said, "Alright, I'll call Zhao Zui and the others back immediately and let those slaves stay in the space for a couple of days."
Merlin nodded and said, "Let Zhao Zui and the others return right away. As long as we know the location of those people, we can make some preparations in advance."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then I'll go call them. Grandma Merlin, you should rest." Merlin nodded and turned back to her room. She also planned to take these two days to recuperate and keep herself in the best condition to deal with those people.
