Chapter 1110 Ambush Claw

According to legend, during the 12th and 13th centuries, when Charles the Lionheart participated in the Crusades, a group of thieves who were good at using bows and arrows and robbed the rich and gave to the poor were active in the Sherwood Forest of Nottingham.

In the ballad, people call that group of people Robin Hood.

If you are a poor person and have such a thief help you resist the officials' excessive taxation, you will definitely think of him as a hero.

If you are a rich person and there is such a peasant rebel army hiding in the forest, ready to plot against you at any time, you will probably hate these "robbers" to the core.

The dark forest is the most suitable for an ambush. Although the black crow sculptures hidden in the laurel forest are still, it is difficult for people not to be wary.

Unlike iron swords, archers are easy to train.

Britain in the Middle Ages was far less wealthy than France, and even the Holy Roman Empire was originally established to resist the French invasion of Italy.

France was once very powerful, and it was precisely because of its power that it had enough military spending to arm heavy cavalry.

However, in the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the British longbowmen inflicted heavy losses on the French army. In the Battle of Agincourt, the British longbowmen killed tens of thousands of French troops at the cost of more than 100 people.

During World War II, because of France's unreliable ally, Britain had to carry out the Dunkirk evacuation, although it was called a "great victory" in history.

Severus looked at Voldemort, who was standing guard on the other side of Lyle Meyer.

Without the ring on Lyle's hand, the maze's mechanism would not be activated, and the final door would not be opened.

It seems that both Voldemort and Lyle, who reeks of wine, are unreliable allies. If you want to leave Severus alive, you can only rely on yourself, which is also a taboo in Legion operations.

Not only the number of participants in the war, but also the coordination and cooperation in medieval Europe were far inferior to those in the East.

If there is an "ally" who can reconcile at any time for the sake of interests, and can defect at any time for the sake of interests, they will act independently as they do now, and everyone will have their own calculations in their hearts.

This was the case even when the warlords in the East were fighting each other. Each warlord wanted to become the emperor, but felt that the time had not come yet, so he could only temporarily separate himself from one side.

So many people miss Rome not only because of the victory and glory brought by the Roman Empire's legions, but also because a unified Rome can respond quickly. Unlike Greek democracy, when the quarrel is over and the voting is over, the enemy has already reached the doorstep.

British philosopher Locke once said: Without private ownership, there is no harm.

Private ownership satisfies individual selfish desires, but is detrimental to the collective.

There was a rule in the Middle Ages not to kill enemy nobles and kings as long as the other party paid a sufficient ransom. Prince John did not save Charles the Lionheart because of his own selfishness. He was also the heir to England and France.

He will not be sad at all when his brother dies, but will feel happy instead.

However, Charles the Lionheart did not die in the battle with Saladin for Jerusalem. Although he was defeated, Saladin sent him and the remaining troops back home.

On the contrary, when he took revenge on the French king, his lion's heart was dug out and placed in Rouen Cathedral.

Moreover, the arrow that hit his left shoulder did not come from the enemy.

In order to raise military expenses, Charles the Lionheart was even more cruel than his brother Prince John. As long as he paid enough money, he could not only avoid the death penalty, but he could even sell London.

There is a conflict between civilians and soldiers. A king who is loved by soldiers may not necessarily be loved by civilians.

As for why Charlie the Lionheart is so supported by the common people, perhaps this has something to do with the ballads circulating among the people, praising Robin Hood and rebuking Prince John.

But nobles are not common people and will not be fooled by songs.

The "servant" kills the "master", the "master" kills the "servant", and the living victor has the last laugh.

Many people don't like ravens, thinking they are opportunistic scavengers, but they are very smart.

Extraordinary wisdom is a kind of wealth, and this kind of wealth can be used in many ways like money.

Ravenclaws are not all crazy. There are also people like Rohart who are good at management. He is indeed "smart" in a sense. At least Severus Snape is just an annoying school teacher.

Hart has so many admirers.

Snape raised his wand, and before anyone else could react, a confusion spell hit the hidden arrow shot out of the darkness.

"It's a raven sculpture!" Snape said, shooting confusion spells from his wand.

Voldemort's light and shadow restraints bound the raven sculptures that had not yet had time to transform.

Lyle Meyer scurried away and hid behind a rock, not daring to raise his head at all.

These arrows are equipped with eyes, specifically aimed at the heart of the breaker. They will not miss like the arrow that hit Charlie, so they cannot make mistakes, even an oversight can be fatal.

When you are concentrating, you can't help but hold your breath. A few seconds can feel like years.

Unlike other spells, the Confusion Curse makes crackling sounds and flashes of light. It is silent and is released very quickly. Those who are cursed often have no time to prevent it. Those crossbow arrows that are struck by the Confusion Curse will turn around after trembling for a while.

Shooting at the raven sculptures that had not had time to transform, they made a clear sound that could only be heard when metal hit each other, just like the sound of swords hitting each other during a knight's battle.

"Dong Dong", "Dong Dong"

The heart has replaced the mind and become the master of the body. The nerves react faster than the thoughts. Before the brain can react, the dangerous instinct has already ordered the hands to move first.

It only takes a blink of an eye from the eyes to receive visual signals to the hands to make movements. Snape is faster than a crossbow. But there are also times when he has no time to react. A deft dodge can not only avoid a fatal blow, but also stand in a favorable attack position.

.

Although an ambush will give you an advantage, it may not always win.

Before intelligence evolved, human ancestors relied on instinct to survive in the forest.

This memory is passed down along with the DNA, and the memory stored in muscles and skin often appears suddenly when people least expect it.

A wonderful feeling arises from both kidneys and spreads throughout the body at a speed that seems slow but actually fast. It is the happiness brought by adrenaline.

It can speed up people's breathing, accelerate heartbeat and blood flow, dilate pupils, release the energy usually stored, and provide more energy to the body, just like burning life.

Dangerous, but exciting, adrenaline brings pleasure that is different from the dopamine secreted by the brain.

Therefore, even in such a dangerous situation, Snape actually laughed, but he did not laugh as wildly as Voldemort, and his eyes sparkled in the dark like a nocturnal animal.

No one likes to suffer losses, and no one wants to be the weak party. However, not all choices made through brain thinking are correct and wise. A smart negotiator will try to make the other party feel "win" and make the other party feel that he has not.

Make a stupid decision.

Many people believe that Saladin let Charles the Lion-Hearted go because he was in awe of his character.

This may be due to the cultural differences between the East and the West. Many Westerners do not understand the idiom "militancy", and the desert country where Saladin was located happened to be the midpoint of the Silk Road between the East and the West.

So, who has the real "heart of a lion"?

In addition to representing lies, disloyalty, and lazy servants, the crow also represents in alchemy the way to get rid of the shackles of matter on the soul through meditation and go to the deepest darkness of the soul. This process is extremely painful, like experiencing a long death.

.

But as long as you defeat it, you will experience endless happiness.

Once you understand what death is, you can understand what it feels like to be alive.

It's like going through a rebirth, and the world will become completely different from before, although it will still be the same as before.

Hidden arrows in the darkness keep coming, but as long as you survive the first one, things will get better in the future.

The damage caused by internal friction is greater than the damage caused by the enemy. It won't take long for these arrows to stop, provided they can survive until that time.

Victory seemed to be only a matter of time. After all, Severus and Voldemort were dealing with a bunch of metal that was inflexible, not cunning similar creatures.

When the common enemy is eliminated, the former master and servant who fought side by side will change again.

Just like the wizarding world after the deaths of Voldemort and Dumbledore, they initially put aside their past conflicts and united for a common enemy. However, as the common leader dies and the enemy disappears, everyone's conflicts will become highlighted again.

"Asura" is one of the six paths of reincarnation in Buddhism. People who are particularly obsessed with right and wrong during their lifetimes. Human beings who like competition may be reborn in this path after death. People usually use "Asura field" to describe the tragic battlefield. Later, it was often extended to mean ongoing battles.

The place where fierce battles take place is called the pit of death.

In fact, as long as we are united, differences in habits and languages ​​will not be an obstacle.

But it's a pity that some people are obsessed with being the evil ghosts who can crawl out of the Shura field.

How long can this kind of happiness, in which all living beings die and I live alone, last?

Maybe he only knows when he is so lonely that no one is with him.
