"Master leader, the enemy is too strong, we are no match for them!" A horse thief, covered in blood, ran to Jason in embarrassment and said with a sad face: "Why are there only ten people? There are three hundred of them, no... at least five
Hundreds of people! And they are all experienced veterans. If we attack them, we will simply die!"
The other horse thieves who escaped also nodded in agreement, and many of them looked in the direction of Roger and others with lingering fear. If they had not known that the enemies were all infantry and could not catch up with them, these frightened horse thieves would have
I'm afraid I've already hit the horse and bolted away.【】
The horse thieves have always bullied caravans with little fighting ability. They were accustomed to fighting with the wind and suddenly encountered such a difficult enemy. After losing their fighting spirit, the horse thieves did not even show half of their strength.
Completely collapsed, he no longer had the courage to attack Roger and others.
Seeing that all the surviving men were looking at him eagerly, Watson knew that he had to give these people an explanation, otherwise it would be difficult for him to gain their trust in the future. In this case, it would not be so easy for his men to fight for their lives in the future.
As the leader of the crowd, Watson would certainly not admit that he had made any mistakes in this matter. He gave Aken, who was silent next to him, a cold look, and suddenly shouted: "Aken, didn't you say that the other party only has
Ten people? Why did you give us false information? Why did you frame everyone like this!?"
Watson's words drew everyone's attention to Aken. The malicious eyes of the horse thieves frightened the guy so much that he turned pale and couldn't even say a word. Aken's fearful look, in the eyes of the horse thieves,
This just shows that he does have something evil in his heart, and many people are already gearing up to surround him, intending to kill this traitor who is cheating on others.
"It has nothing to do with...it has nothing to do with me. It was Mr. Jason who asked me to report the news!" Aken finally summoned up the courage to defend himself, but found that no one believed it. Feeling that his life was in danger, he
No longer caring about anything else, he turned his horse and galloped away in the direction of Kent Town.
When the horse thieves saw this, they started making noises one after another. Watson calmly took off the short bow on his back, aimed at Aken's back and shot a fatal arrow.
Aken also heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, and he quickly lowered his body to avoid the arrow. But Watson used his fighting spirit when shooting an arrow, and the arrow was extremely fast and powerful. Aken had not yet
He had no time to move, but felt a pain in his vest, and all the strength in his body disappeared in an instant. He lowered his head instinctively, and found an arrow cluster coming out of his chest, and then he realized that the arrow just now had penetrated him.
Aken rode precariously on his horse and ran a few more steps, then staggered and fell to the ground. His eyes were fixed on the direction of Kent Town, and he didn't understand why there were only ten guns before he died.
Someone's caravan will suddenly become so powerful.
"The traitor Akon has been killed by me, and he deserves to die!" Knowing that this was a good opportunity to re-establish his prestige, Watson raised his short bow and shouted: "Everyone who opposes us will not have good luck.
At the end of the day, let’s go back to repair it for a few days, and then come back to settle the accounts with these people!”
Even the dullest horse thief can tell that Watson is just saying something nice. Things like "go back to repair for a few days and then come back for revenge". To put it bluntly, it actually means that if you can't beat the opponent, you can only fight in despair.
Forget it, just run away. Come back for revenge in a few days. Would you be so stupid as to wait in a place like this for a few days?
However, all the horse thieves were frightened by Roger. They agreed deeply with Watson's self-deception and started shouting loudly.
"Yes, go back and rest for a few days and then come back to settle the accounts with them!"
"I walked in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to have breakfast, so I didn't have the energy to fight!"
"Let these people be proud for a few days, and then I will come back and kill them all!"
The horse thieves shouted more and more proudly, and in the end they really thought that they were the victors in the battle, and the reason why they stopped attacking was just to let Roger and others survive for a few more days.
After some shouting, the depressed mood of the horse thieves improved a lot, and they returned along the original route under the leadership of Watson. Although the losses in this attack were heavy, except for Watson who was very unhappy because of the loss of strength,
The other horse thieves quickly put the tragic defeat behind them. After all, they were not the ones who died in the battle. As for others who died, they died.
The horse thieves retreating to the south did not notice that two hippogryphs were hovering very high above their heads. They stared at the horse thieves on the ground and reported their movements to their master Roger.
At this time, Roger, who was staying on the hillside, was directing his soldiers to clean the battlefield. These horse thieves came out to rob and kill people, so naturally they would not bring anything good with them. The so-called cleaning of the battlefield meant that if there were any horse thieves or war horses that were not dead, they would go up there.
Put an end to their suffering.
For Roger's soldiers, doing such a thing was very easy. Soon there was no living horse thief around, and Roger also gained a lot of soul power.
These horse thieves are all murderous guys, and no one knows how many caravan members died in their hands, so no one raised any objections to Roger's approach of taking no prisoners. Even Bonnie felt that Roger
It was the right thing to do. If these desperadoes were left alive, no one knows how many people would be tortured by them in the future.
"The horse thieves retreated south." Roger received the message from the hippogryph and began to assign new tasks to others: "Bonnie, you take the others back to Kent Town. Jason is not very good in the town.
They will attack you, all you have to do is stop this guy and prevent him from escaping."
"What if this blind guy strikes first?" Chris didn't get a chance to strike in the previous battle, so he couldn't help but asked reluctantly: "In that case, we can always fight back, right?"
"Of course, you don't have to be polite if they take action." Roger's answer made Chris smile with satisfaction.
Roger is not worried about the safety of Bonnie and others. The Kent Town Guards are all ordinary people with low strength. Bonnie and Chris, two bronze-level experts, are enough to deal with those guys. Roger really
What I'm worried about are those horse thieves who haven't been eliminated yet. These guys are the ones who can really threaten the territory.
Of course, Bonnie also understood this, and her expression changed at this moment: "Are you planning to track down the horse thief alone?"
After hearing what the female knight said, others also looked at Roger with concern. Although they strictly abided by their duties as subordinates and did not raise any objections to Roger's arrangements, the worried look on their faces said it all. Lisa
She even looked at Roger with tears in her eyes, as if as soon as he nodded and confirmed Bonnie's words, the girl would cry immediately.
"Don't worry about me. I just arrived in the territory and haven't enjoyed life yet." Roger gave Lisa a comforting smile, and then said confidently: "So I will never take advantage of myself at this time.
Risk your life!"
Although Bonnie and others were still a little worried about Roger chasing the horse thieves alone, he was the leader after all, so everyone obeyed his arrangement. Bonnie and others left the useless carriage where they were and rode on their horses.
Rushing towards Kent Town. Roger went in the opposite direction alone, following the tracks left by the horse thieves to the south.
In fact, even if there were no traces on the ground, Roger could easily track the horse thief in front of him. Those hippogryphs hovering in the sky were like remote-controlled human reconnaissance planes, allowing him to track the horse thief's movements anytime and anywhere.
.
After riding a horse for a while, Roger summoned the Nightmare Beast to follow the horse thieves at a distance. He was not in a hurry to catch up and eliminate the remaining horse thieves, but to find out where these guys' lair was, and then take this guy
The threats within the territory are eliminated at once.
Although Watson also carefully sent scouts behind the team to prevent being followed, Roger did not use conventional methods to track the horse thieves at all, and even the shrewdest scouts would not be able to detect that someone was following them.
Roger urged the Nightmare Beast to move forward unhurriedly on the barren yellow soil of Kent County. At noon, he had already walked out of the range where the magician had cast the forbidden spell. Under the Nightmare Beast's four flaming hooves, the barren soil
It gradually became fertile, and green grass peeked out from the yellow soil. As Roger continued to move forward, the green grass grew taller, and not far in front of him, the outline of a forest had appeared.
This forest is the Green Sea Forest, the largest forest on the Doom continent. The Green Sea Forest extends from the mainland to the south, covering almost half of the Kingdom of Thorne. It is said that this is also the last paradise of the elves.
, there are many elven tribes living in this forest, and some of the ancient elven knowledge has also been passed down.
This forest in southern Kent is actually only a very small part of the entire Green Sea Forest. It is said that there is also a tribe of elves living in such a small part. However, Roger is not interested in these elves at the moment. He comes here
The reason is naturally because those horse thieves have entered the forest.
"Are elves actually neighbors with a bunch of horse thieves?" After arriving at the edge of the forest, Roger put the nightmare beast back into the statue, looked at the many lush trees in front of him and said to himself: "This is really interesting..."
Elves are a race that loves nature and hates all evil things. Because of this, Roger put away the nightmare beast and walked forward to avoid unnecessary trouble when he encountered elves. Although he was not afraid of these people living in the woods.
An intelligent creature, but this time it came to exterminate the horse thieves, so naturally it didn't want to cause trouble.
Hiding the Nightmare Beast statue in the castle warehouse, Roger entered the Green Sea Forest without hesitation.
