Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages

Chapter 99 - 99 Be Careful of a Sneak Attack

99 Be Careful of a Sneak Attack

The ground was covered in shattered ice shards, and dark red blood could be seen on the ground.

Further ahead, there were two neat rows of round holes where the horses had been placed last night. They had all been moved away.

There were traces of hay on the road beside them, as well as dense and overlapping horse hooves, recording the attack of the Spear Cavalry last night.

There were corpses of Trolls piled up like small mountains by the roadside. Trolls were tall to begin with, and nearly a hundred of them were piled together. It was quite a spectacular sight.

The only good thing about being cold was that there was no smell. Walking past the Trolls with frozen faces and wide eyes, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but he slowly adapted.

As they walked along the main road of the fortress, they could see the hoof prints on the ground. It seemed that the Spear Cavalry had really retreated far last night.

After crossing two more small mountains, the terrain ahead became calm.

In the distance, greenery also appeared.

Tall dark green trees appeared.

When he got closer, Fang Ping looked up at these trees. They were tall and straight, their leaves like pine trees, thin needles.

He squatted down and picked some up. The surface was still a little smooth, and the oil content should not be low.

It seemed that he had transitioned from the desert grassland to the evergreen coniferous forest. As for whether it was a temperate coniferous forest or a sub-cold coniferous forest, Fang Ping could not say.

After entering the forest, the wind became much lighter. Some green plants appeared under the trees, and Qing Niao’s search for wild vegetables began again.

The silent forest and the quiet snow.

It made one feel calm.

Fang Ping also used his characteristics on his surroundings.

“Failure granted. Target: Goblin Desperado, not himself.”

Fang Ping was shocked. He stared at the location given by the characteristic. There was a pile of snow there. There were a few stalks of grass on it. He could not tell what was there.

Moreover, the Gnome Desperado was an Ordinary Class 3 Professional. Fang Ping had experienced the strength of a Class 3 Professional before. This was not something the Elite Team could deal with.

He quickly ran to Elsa. “Teacher Elsa, I found a Gnome Desperado in the snow over there.”

When Elsa stopped, the team also stopped.

Elsa raised her left hand and clenched it into a fist. “Everyone, be on guard. Fang Ping is in command.”

When Elsa said this, Fang Ping quickly said, “Everyone, hold your weapons. Stand on both sides of the Melee combat line and stand in the middle of the ranged combat line. Speed up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Ping felt many people glancing at him.

“It’s just a scout. What’s with the arrogance?” He heard someone whisper, but he did not know who it was.

Most of the people at the front of the team were in-service training students. They had always been dissatisfied with Fang Ping’s command.

Fang Ping did not care too much. He continued to investigate the surrounding situation. One or two Gnomes. His characteristics gave him more and more gnomes.

“Gnome Poison Archers! Everyone, increase your speed!”

Fang Ping also carried his bag and jogged. If the Melee Gnomes were only a big threat, then the long-range Gnomes were a nightmare for the Elite Team.

“Fang Ping! Be careful!”

Fang Ping was suddenly tackled by a blue figure.

The heavy armor on his back hurt Fang Ping a little. Because of Fang Ping’s fall, the others quickly surrounded him and protected him in the middle.

If Fang Ping’s identity was only that of a working student, they could ignore him. However, now that he was the commander, they had no choice but to protect Fang Ping.

He took a look and saw that it was a heavily armored guard.

The weight on his back made it hard for Fang Ping to breathe. Just as he was about to push him away, his back felt light and disappeared.

Fang Ping rolled over and sat up. Someone was holding a long arrow. The green surface seemed to be coated with a layer of paint, just behind Fang Ping’s back.

He gulped. If he was stabbed by this, he would probably meet God on the spot.

Lisa was the one who reminded Fang Ping. However, the situation was urgent now, and it was not the time to say anything more. She nodded at her and quickly got up.

“Pay attention to the surroundings. Be careful of sneak attacks…”

Fang Ping stopped talking because he did not need to pay attention anymore.

The Gnomes had already sensed that their whereabouts had been discovered, so they stopped hiding and walked out.

There were not many of them, only five, but their equipment was luxurious.

There were three Gnome Desperadoes holding two daggers, a Gnome Scoundrel holding a mace, and a Gnome Poison Archer holding a white bone bow. Moreover, they were not wearing grass clothes, but leather armor.

In this world where Magical Beasts were powerful, the value of leather armor was not low.

“Interesting Human. You’re so weak, but you can actually see through my disguise.”

The leader of the Gnomes spoke in the standard Human language.

This was not a good sign. It could only mean that this Gnome was very strong.

Fang Ping raised his hand and was about to wave it forward to give the order to continue running when he heard Teacher Elsa’s voice.

“Werner?”

“Sha?”

Looking at Elsa and the Gnome Desperado’s reactions, they seemed to know each other.

The team parted to the sides to make way, but they were also holding their weapons and vigilantly looking at the Gnomes.

Elsa jogged over with a smile.

The Gnome Desperado, Werner, sheathed his daggers and walked towards Elsa.

...

Then, Elsa bent down and hugged the short Werner before taking a step back.

“Werner, what a surprise to see you here.”

“Yeah, I haven’t seen you for many years. You’re still so tall.”

“Hahaha.” Elsa covered her mouth and laughed softly. This was the first time Fang Ping had heard Elsa laugh.

Elsa pointed at the Gnomes behind Werner. “Why? Are you forming your own team now?”

Weiner looked back and shook his head. “Just them? They’re not worthy of being in my team. The little fellows from a few tribes, I’m bringing them out to train. Those, your people?”

Elsa nodded. “I’m a teacher in the Silver Heron team in Elf City. They’re my students.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your student is too weak. He’s only at Level 1.”

“Yes, but he will grow, no?”

“That’s true. Your brother has reached Class 5?”

“Yeah.”

...

Fang Ping and the other members of the Elite Team listened to Teacher Elsa and Werner’s conversation.

He knew Elsa and Dean Su. They seemed to have been in the same mercenary group in the past.

It was not impossible when the relationship between the various races was not so tense in the past.

“Then what are you doing here today? Ambushing us?”

“It’s not because I accepted a mission. If I knew you were here, I would have turned around and left.”

“What’s your mission?”

Werner threw up his hands. “Sha, you know our rules.”

Miss Elsa nodded, and Werner changed the subject. “But since it’s you, who can stop me even if I tell you?

“The mission I received was to stop the people heading to the Fire Dragon Border Fortress on the main road of the fortress. However, we have to let them go. However, we can’t let them leave through the Fire Dragon Border Fortress.”

“You can only enter but not leave?”

“That’s right. I don’t care. I can go back, but I’m not the only horde that came. The other party’s price is not low. From what I know, there are at least three Epic-ranked creatures.”
