chapter 267, chapter 268
After Korulo left, Xie Feng looked at the remaining soldiers and found that only fourteen were left. Moreover, they were all lying on the ground tiredly, panting, looking very decadent, and their morale was very bad.
Xie Feng also knew in his heart that if he encountered an enemy again, even a small team of bandits, their morale would definitely collapse.
Xie Feng suddenly said: "I have them all..."
Just as the nearby soldiers were all paying attention, Xie Feng said silently in his heart: "Sign the 'Soldier Agreement'!"
Ten minutes later, Xie Feng gave the order to set off. It was not that he did not want the soldiers to rest for a while, but it was not safe yet, and it could even be said to be very dangerous. If you delay for one more minute, the chance of escape will be smaller. Although it is early
The rest period ended, but none of the soldiers complained. They looked determined and had high morale, but they could not hide the fatigue on their faces.
After passing the fork in the road, Xie Feng continued to lead the team to the south - continuing into the lower road surrounded by cliffs on both sides.
When passing through a very narrow area that was not much wider than a normal door, Xie Feng seemed to suddenly remember something. He opened the inventory and searched for a while. After a while, the corner of his mouth curled up and he stretched his hand forward. The next moment, "Wow!"
There was a loud noise, and the narrow road was filled with stones.
Although the soldiers' faces were full of surprise, no one asked any questions.
Everyone moved forward for more than an hour. At this time, the terrain gradually opened up and the cliffs gradually separated on both sides. When they reached the goal, it was already a vast plain.
But the plain was not completely flat. A team stood very conspicuously at the end of the cliff road.
Xie Feng frowned, but did not give the order to retreat - it is a blessing, not a curse, but disaster cannot be avoided, what is supposed to come will come. Even if he did not retreat, he had already slowed down.
The team not far away consisted of about a hundred people, half on foot and cavalry, with regular equipment. They seemed to be the regular army of the nearby lords.
There was a person in the center of the team, riding a high horse. He seemed to be very young. The young man rode forward and respectfully shouted to Xie Feng: "Lord Xie Feng, I am the lord of St. Ruz Gotthard Castle, Count Plais."
, I have been waiting for a long time.”
Xie Feng cried out in his heart and could only shout: "Are you coming to kill me too?"
Count Plais sighed and said: "I have always admired Sir Xie Feng's reputation. It is really an honor for me to meet him."
Xie Feng's eyebrows jumped and he said: "So you are planning to let me go?"
Count Plais said helplessly: "But it's a pity that military orders are difficult to disobey, so I have no choice but to offend."
Hearing this, Xie Feng had no choice but to immediately draw the sword from his waist.
Seeing that Xie Feng was ready to fight, Count Plais said: "Sir, don't resist indifferently. Our strength is six or seven times yours. You have no chance of winning. Surrender and you will get what you deserve."
respect - besides, look behind you."
Xie Feng subconsciously looked back and saw nothing behind him, only the cliff road extending into endless darkness.
"Huh?" Xie Feng and Count Plais were stunned at the same time. Count Plais said to himself: "Didn't we agree to attack from both front and rear? Where is their team?"
Xie Feng felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that they had prepared a team to attack from behind. Then he suddenly couldn't help but laugh - the team that was originally going to attack him were probably still picking up rocks now.
Seeing Xie Feng smiling, Count Plais asked in confusion: "Why are you laughing?"
Xie Feng rolled his eyes and replied: "So that team was planning to attack me? Fortunately, I discovered it in time, and now they are buried inside."
Count Plais was surprised: "Impossible! How could more than ten of you wipe out a team of nearly 50 people?"
Xie Feng was startled. Good guy, there are still 50 people. It seems that the pile of rocks can't hold them back for long. He has to find a way to escape quickly, so he said confidently: "Otherwise, why do you think they are still here now?"
Didn't show up? Could it be that I conjured a pile of rocks out of thin air to block them on the road?" At the same time, his mind kept rejecting all the escape ideas that he just thought of. In the current situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the place we are in is not a dangerous place.
In this land, it may be more difficult to escape intact than to ascend to heaven.
Count Plais was hesitant, but finally seemed to have figured out something. He breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "The coalition forces have not arrived for a long time. I'm afraid the situation is wrong - we have them all, retreat."
Now it was Xie Feng's turn to be hesitant - even if there were no pursuers behind him, with Count Plais's current team of nearly a hundred people, he would definitely be killed to pieces - Count Plais did this
, which is completely letting yourself go.
Feeling grateful in his heart, Xie Feng said: "I, Xie Feng, owe you a favor."
Count Plais, who was turning the horse's head, waved his hand and said: "You don't owe me, it's just that I'm timid and don't dare to attack rashly when the coalition troops are not available - I'm warning you, besides me, there are others on the road.
There will be other people who will not let you go. To the east and west, there is a plain, and our Svadia cavalry can take advantage of it. To the south, after passing the village of Tispodin, there is a large forest. Although the ambush is
It's relatively small, but...you can't escape anyway."
This so-called warning was more like a reminder, which made Xie Feng feel grateful again.
Count Plais looked at the thin men and horses beside Xie Feng and couldn't help but sigh deeply, then waved the reins and led the team away in a swaggering manner.
After Count Plais left, Xie Feng pondered for a moment: Well, the forest... If you can safely escape into the forest and use the terrain, you probably have a good chance of survival. So he ordered: "Everyone is included.
Full speed south!"
As darkness gradually fell, Xie Feng and others found a cave to live in on a mountain near Tispodin Village, not even daring to light a bonfire.
After the soldiers ate the biscuits and bread they carried with them to satisfy their hunger, they dragged their exhausted bodies to find a relatively flat ground in the cave and lay down, leaving only two soldiers responsible for night watch. At this time, winter had not yet begun.
After it completely passed, the night wind continued to pour into the cave with biting low temperatures, making the soldiers tremble with cold.
Xie Feng sighed deeply for several times. A few days ago, he was the high-ranking General Zuo of the new restoration coalition of Virginia. In a few days, he became a traitor wanted by the entire Swadia lords. Such a change made Xie Feng
Feng really couldn't accept it. After buying 14 blankets from the points mall at a price of 50 points each, Xie Feng distributed them to the soldiers. Although the soldiers couldn't understand where Xie Feng came up with these things,
But they were very sensible and did not ask further questions. A blanket added a touch of warmth to them in the cold wind.
Xie Feng couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the cave and walked around casually.
As he walked, Xie Feng was thinking: Why did he end up in this situation? Why did Charlotte suddenly want to kill him? Is it because of what she said at the beginning: "If you can't become my ally or companion, then you will definitely..."
"Become my enemy"? Isn't this too ridiculous? At this time, there is no sign that I will become a "powerful enemy"? I am simply a fugitive!
The more Xie Feng thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the less clear he became. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. At this time, Xie Feng had already left the cave far away without knowing it.
"It's better to go back early, we have to travel tomorrow." Xie Feng muttered to himself, then stopped and turned around.
After turning around, in addition to the mountain scenery in my impression, there was also a black figure, a black figure standing upright about ten meters behind me.
When did he appear? Why didn't I notice it at all? Xie Feng thought quickly, took a step back, put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and asked warily: "Who are you?"
The black figure didn't speak. If you look closely, you can see that the black figure is wearing gray clothes, gray clothes, gray pants, gray shoes, even the mask and turban are all gray, a deathly gray.
The man in gray did not answer Xie Feng's words, but stood tightly on the spot, staring at Xie Feng with his eyes.
Xie Feng thought for a moment, and then asked: "You were sent by Charlotte to kill me, right?"
The man in gray still didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
Xie Feng's heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was half cold - with his own alertness, he had not noticed the other party's existence just now. This meant that the other party's ability was definitely no longer inferior to his own.
While staring at the man in gray, Xie Feng slowly drew out the sword from his waist and said: "I think, even if I beg you for mercy at this time and promise to give you a lot of money, you will not let me go.
Right?"
The man in gray still nodded without saying a word.
Xie Feng sighed lightly, and then his eyes became stern and said: "Then come on!" With a flick of his hand, the Atonement Soul Suppressing Sword danced into a sword flower.
The man in gray still didn't speak or move. It seemed to him that Xie Feng was already a dead man and it was not worth taking action himself.
Xie Feng smiled and said: "I know I may not be able to defeat you, but you can't let me commit suicide in front of you."
The man in gray clothes shook his head, as if he didn't care about Xie Feng's words. The next moment, the man in gray clothes had disappeared from where he was!
Xie Feng was startled and quickly swung the sword in his hand, slashing towards the void.
"Qiang!"
The man in gray suddenly appeared in front of him, with a dagger in his hand, which blocked Xie Feng's sword.
Before Xie Feng could react on how to counterattack next, the man in gray swung his dagger and deflected Xie Feng's sword. The next moment, the man in gray's dagger stabbed straight towards Xie Feng's chest.
Xie Feng was shocked and turned pale. He quickly stepped on his feet. The assassin used Phantom Step and jumped back, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
Seeing Xie Feng jump back, the man in gray clothes did not pursue him, but just stood there blankly, just like before - the difference from before was that the man in gray clothes now held a bright dagger in his right hand.
Xie Feng took a few deep breaths. The situation just now was a critical one. If he had reacted just one and a half seconds slower, he would have died.
Xie Feng took a few steps back and saw that the man in gray had no intention of attacking suddenly, so he quickly squatted down and slapped both of his calves.
"Snapped!"
The two weights that had been tied to Xie Feng's legs suddenly fell to the ground. Xie Feng had not taken off these weights for a long time. The enemy he faced now was even more terrifying than Al - it was not Xie Feng's turn.
Maple no longer has anything to hide!
Losing comfort, Xie Feng suddenly felt that his feet were light and light, and he suddenly felt a sense of flexibility that he had never experienced before.
Seeing Xie Feng take off the weight, the man in gray was obviously stunned, as if he had never expected that Xie Feng had these things tied to his legs.
Xie Feng shook his legs a few times on the spot, adjusting to the loss of restraints. He felt very good. Then he said to the man in gray: "Thank you for waiting for me, but it's a pity that I don't have anything to repay you."
The man in gray still stood there blankly, without any reaction, as if he didn't hear Xie Feng's words at all.
Xie Feng didn't feel dissatisfied, but said quietly: "It's a pity. With your ability, you should be famous in this country. Why do you have to be reduced to an assassin who no one knows..." Before he finished speaking, Xie Feng
His body shook and he immediately disappeared.
"Qiang!"
There was another sound of weapons handover.
It seemed that he was well prepared for Xie Feng's sneak attack. The man in gray blocked Xie Feng's attack with his dagger without any panic.
"Damn it!" Xie Feng cursed in his heart: "A sneak attack really doesn't do anything to him."
Thinking in his mind, Xie Feng has changed his attack several times.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang..."
The man in gray was calm and calm, and the dagger in his hand was like a flexible snake, causing Xie Feng's every attack to fail.
After blocking for a moment, the man in gray finally took the initiative to attack!
The man in gray saw the gap between Xie Feng's attacks and took a step forward. The dagger in his hand turned from a small snake into a dragon and attacked Xie Feng with a fierce momentum.
Xie Feng was shocked when he saw this - at such a close distance, his sword could not work, and the man in gray was about to stab him with his dagger.
In an extremely critical situation, Xie Feng frowned and all the muscles in his legs suddenly tightened!
