Seeing that it was getting late and the lights were gradually extinguished, Knight Commander Allen Cousins ​​crawled out of bed in the dark.

He first listened for a while to confirm that there was no human voice. After everyone had fallen asleep, he walked to the door of the solitary room.

Although the conditions in the solitary room are much better than those in the dungeon, with beds, tables, and wardrobes, the bandits in Moon God Village obviously did not completely relax their vigilance against Cousins. The thick iron chain with the lock,

Fortunately, it's still tied to the door.

Cousins ​​lifted the cold lock with his hand, and then took out a thin wire from his pocket.

When he was in his early teens and a vendor at the Eagle's Rest Fish Market, Cousins ​​once picked the lock on a competitor's fish pond and poured rat poison into the pond!

The Lily Knight was pleased to find that after decades, his old skills had not deteriorated.

He inserted the wire into the hole of the door lock, poked it shallowly and deeply several times, and the lock opened with a sound.

Cousins ​​grabbed his packed luggage and quietly walked out of the solitary room.

The entire "Moon God Village" is built against the mountain at a corner of the Nutao Mountains. Most of the main buildings are excavated along the mountain. Rather than being called a camp, it is more like rows of cave dwellings stacked along the hillside.

.

The location of Cousins' solitary cell happened to be in the second row from top to bottom - most of the bandits' dormitories were on the lower floors, so in the middle of the night, there was only one in the open-air corridor on the second floor.

The bandit on duty was leaning on the railing and looking at the scenery, with his back facing Cousins ​​who slipped out of the solitary room.

The poem is well written: You are looking at the scenery in the corridor, and Cousins ​​is looking at you from behind.

The former captain of the Knights of Eagle's Rest, waved his hand and struck the bandit on duty hard on the back of the head. He wrapped the bandit with heavy luggage and knocked him unconscious to the ground in a very unchivalrous way.

Cousins ​​dragged the unconscious bandit on duty, hid him in his solitary room, and then carefully closed the fence door, his movements so skillful and fluent that he looked like an alien version of Killer 47.

Once the guards are taken care of, things become much simpler.

The sentries in the entire Moon God Village basically stayed on the wooden sentry towers beside the wall, watching the wasteland outside the village in preparation for enemy attacks. At most, there were a few guards monitoring the prisoners near the dungeon;

The nearby guards were completely empty.

No one could even imagine that "Master Cousins", who had been staying in the solitary room under house arrest, would suddenly break out of prison one day!

However, Cousins ​​was not stupid enough to escape directly along the corridor and along the up and down stairs carved out of the mountain——

——If you encounter a bandit who wakes up at night, wouldn’t everything be over?

Cousins, who had already figured out the structure of the Moon God Village, tiptoed and sneaked to the other side of the cave corridor——

Here is a cliff that is twenty to thirty meters high vertically from the top of the mountain. Usually bandits love to urinate from here, giving them the pleasure of flying down three thousand feet.

Cousins ​​took out a thick hemp rope that had been prepared from the package and tied one end firmly to the railing. He grabbed the other end, climbed over the railing, and just pulled the rope, stepping back from the cliff step by step.

Go down!

Since this place happens to be on the back slope of the mountain opposite the Yueshen Village Square, no matter how alert the sentinels of the Yueshen Village are, they cannot imagine that there is actually a strong man doing rock climbing and rappelling here!

Soon, the soles of Cousins' feet touched the solid ground, indicating that he had reached the same level as the small square in front of the Luna Village.

He loosened the rope, scratched the rock wall, and looked out.

What made him even more disappointed was that today's Yueshenzhai Square was not empty, but seemed to be holding some kind of activity. There were many bandits hugging each other around the bonfire, shouting, and seemed to be watching others.

There was a wrestling contest and the square was filled with a happy atmosphere.

However, these bandits were focused on their own affairs, which meant that they didn't notice Cousins ​​at all.

Allen Cousins, who looked more like a veteran thief than the Lily Knight, quietly moved behind the bandits - the noisy crowds formed the best cover, covering up Cousins' already gentle body.

The sound of footsteps was perfectly hidden.

Knight Commander Cousins ​​passed through the blind spot of the guards on the guard tower and sneaked along the wall of Luna Village to the gate of the village, where he encountered the real challenge:

Although the wooden gate of the cottage is open, there are three guards who are responsible for guarding the gate at night. They are sitting at the door with small stools, talking and talking about all kinds of nonsense!

It is impossible for Cousins ​​​​to escape from the cottage by bypassing the sight of these security guards!

Fortunately, as the "Lily Knight" officially canonized by the empire, Allen Cousins ​​is familiar with the most elegant way to escape from this desperate situation, which a noble knight can use!

He leaned closely against the maple door of the cottage, took out a small bag from the package, took a few deep breaths, and waited until he calmed down completely before sticking his head out and whispering to the bandits guarding the door.

shouted:

"Hey, something big happened!"

The bandits, who had never expected that an enemy would appear at this time, turned around in shock when they heard the cry. As a result, first a small cloth bag flew with the sound of breaking through the air, hitting the leader of the bandit in the face hard, and then

, the white dust that suddenly rose up from the small bag immediately covered their heads and faces!

lime powder!

This is what Knight Commander Cousins ​​has been using since childhood, the magic weapon of a noble knight!

Using the same bag of lime powder, he punished the thieves at Eagle's Rest, and also showed his prowess in the knight's tourney (after giving money to the referee)!

When a white pile of calcium oxide powder suddenly hits you, anyone will only have three feelings:

First there was surprise, then there was pain, and finally there was deep, lifelong shame!

Of course, the bandits who were attacked by Cousins ​​with lime powder have not yet had time to experience the stage of humiliation. They are currently immersed in intense pain, as if their eyes were on fire!

Their screams even caused the sentries on the sentry tower to look over!

And Allen Cousins, the witty, brave and noble Lily Knight, wants this effect!

While the guard bandit was blinded by the lime and the attention of the sentries was diverted, Cousins ​​greased his feet and jumped outside the village gate into the shadow under the wall. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he then

He plunged into the grassland outside the village, and using the cover of waist-high grass, he crawled out and fled!

Should it be said that Cousins' movements were too fast, or that the bandits in Yueshen Village did not expect that their martial arts leader would suddenly run away, so they were not vigilant enough. They waited until a few guards washed them with rapeseed oil.

With your eyes cleared, Captain Allen Cousins ​​has already run nearly two kilometers in the wilderness!

——Although Cousins’ martial arts skills are slightly different from his boasted level, his physical fitness is really nothing to say!

However, before Cousins, who was running all the way, could immerse himself in the joy of regaining his freedom for too long, he saw three dark figures leading horses in the night wind in the wilderness.

Cousins' first reaction was to hit the highway robber. Just as he was about to brake suddenly and turn around, he heard a familiar female voice shouting in surprise:

"Kao, Knight Commander Cousins?"

Allen Cousins, who was wearing only a shirt and shorts, stained with hay debris, looked up blankly, and immediately saw the young man leading the three men, wearing a gold goshawk-patterned shorts.

He wears a robe, and his head is full of shiny black hair like raven feathers.

As if inspired by the Holy Spirit, former Eagle's Rest Knights Commander Aaron Cousins ​​suddenly realized that he had been waiting for this moment his entire life——

He jumped forward very smoothly, knelt down, hugged the black-haired boy's legs and cried loudly:
Chapter completed!
