There were sick people who needed to be taken care of, and the camp had to be guarded, and there was a lack of means of transportation, so Neo only brought 6 people: Barrit, Witz, Arnold, Maher, Dick, and Bichir.
The man had a mount, let the wolf run wildly, and it only took more than half an hour to arrive at the valley where the migration team was.
There are three entrances to the valley. On the side where Neo and others came back, there were only a dozen or so ragged and haggard gangsters, but with sharp gleams in their eyes. They didn't even get down from the valley. It looked like they were obviously a wind-watching team. These people saw Ni
Ao and his entourage looked majestic and menacing, and the birds and beasts immediately dispersed
Neo saw that each of these gangsters had small legs as thin as hemp poles, wore straw sandals, and had some wadding leaves and small animal manes randomly wrapped around them. They were able to run at lightning speed. It was easy to think of all the things he had done when he was young.
Putting aside sympathy for hardships and dissatisfaction first, what impressed him deeply was the role of hardships in life.
"Let's go!" Neo did not chase those miscellaneous fish, but led the people down the slightly rugged slope to the bottom of the valley and walked several hundred meters before seeing the defense line of the migration team.
Winter is a good time to build a wall. The red soil you see everywhere in Sylfanis is already very sticky. Use the pile of mud to build the walls and the grass and trees to make the ribs. At the back, use the car as the base and put up the shelves, and the simple barrier is already in shape. Add the
There is a trench 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep, with stakes inserted like hedgehogs. An ordinary bandit group of 180 people will definitely consider whether it can afford the price before attacking.
A guard on the barrier first saw the group of people clearly and shouted happily: "It's Neo! Neo is back!"
The simple log suspension bridge was lowered and the gate was opened. Neo briefly greeted the guards, while the wargs headed inward under the leadership of the white socks.
Ebut's defense was quite satisfactory. About a hundred meters behind the barrier, another 2-meter-high mud wall was set up, and posts were also set up. This was the isolation line that separated the military zone from the ordinary zone. The citizens
Generally, you are not allowed to cross the line.
More than a hundred meters beyond the mud wall is the edge of the people's living area. It seems that the situation is not as bad as Neo imagined. Most people are staying in their 'homes' consisting of sleighs and tents.
It's as orderly as a city during martial law
The three valleys converge at one point, forming a central open space of more than 5,000 square meters. Xavier and others live nearby, of course not in the center, but on the sides against the mountain wall.
Neo patted the neck of the white socks, then turned over. At this time, Ebut, who had received the report from the guards, had already come out. He ordered the guards to take Barritt and others to the tent next to them to rest. Barritt and the others just looked at Neo.
He nodded slightly, and then followed the guards away. When Ebt saw it, he realized that the Storm Team had broken away more completely than he thought.
Neo followed Ebut into the kiln one after another. In front of him stood Xavier, who was pacing back and forth, others like McCann, York, Wright, and the recent team officer Frank, and the former Valentina's guard Dai
Wei and Gale are both here. Except for Woodrow and Danny, the main members of the escort team are all here.
The faces of these people all looked like water, among which Wright and Zhizev looked even more ashamed. When Neo saw this, his heart sank. Wright was Mirien's guard, and Zhzhev was responsible for the defense of the migration team.
Knowing his relationship with Miriam, the expressions on these two people gave the sensitive Neo a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Xavier told Neo the news he least wanted to hear in a straight-to-the-point way: Miriam was captured.
Even though Neo was extremely calm, he couldn't help but have veins on his forehead when he heard the news, his eyes were bloodshot, and the dark aura surged like a tide. The whole room became like a hazy and cold snowy cemetery, which made people feel chilling.
Xavier's face remained calm, and he was frightened and at the same time, he was even more wary and disgusted. He heard that people with dark power attributes were mostly emotional, but they still had some passionate and sincere feelings. After his youthful years passed, his temperament was distorted by this special power.
, becomes cruel and surly, killing people at every turn, coupled with Neo's innate wildness and great ambition, it is conceivable that there is no happiness at all in being a wife to such a person.
As a father, Xavier is very worried about Miriam's situation, and he also knows that the best person to rescue Miriam is Neo. "Love without regrets, right? Well, here comes another opportunity to show off..."
Xavier's mood at the moment was extremely complicated. He desperately hoped that Neo could successfully rescue Miriam, but he was somewhat gloating that Neo would be in such trouble again. Furthermore, he wanted to see Neo being raped by him and Miriam.
The various problems caused by the inappropriate "childish love" between Lean were tortured to the core. He took the initiative to retreat so that he could tell himself with peace of mind that it was absolutely right to prevent Miriam and Neo from getting together. He was an experienced person.
Judgment based on the situation is an extremely wise choice for a father who loves his daughter...
Neo didn't understand Xavier's dual thoughts of wanting the storm to be more violent, but also fearing that his daughter would be involved in it and be deeply hurt. He just realized that he was a little out of control while feeling uncontrollable anger. There was no need for it here.
It was all his colleagues who were putting on a show, who was he going to show his anger to? He took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down a bit.
"Sorry, I'm rude!"
Neo didn't apologize much, but it still made everyone feel a lot more comfortable.
In fact, since Neo defeated Duoji, the leader of Tanshi, many old people, including McCann, have come up with the idea: They say that once a person has power, money or strength, his temperament will change a lot. Young Neo
What? Could it be the same?
The strong are respected by others, but they are also feared and create a vague sense of alienation. What's more, Neo's performance on the battlefield is really close to the monsters that ordinary people think of.
Of course, the most important thing is to communicate that Valentina is injured, and Neo himself has to recover from his injuries. Everyone is busy on their way. Then Neo only stayed for one night and hurried to the Windrush team. Naturally, McCann was equally busy.
Waiting for others and less communication
Neo was keenly aware of this. No matter what considerations he was in, Neo felt that it was not time to boss around and boss around McCann and others, so he realized that he had lost his temper. He immediately admitted his mistake and decided to
Now, after this incident, it’s time to sit down with everyone and have a drink of soju. The series of things that happened recently are really dazzling and unexpected, such as his changes, and his sister, Liz Dark.
Nice…
Neo is calculating these trivial matters in his mind, which does not delay him from following up on the most important thing at present, the ins and outs of rescuing Miriam. Xavier and others have sorted it out before Neo arrived. Now Ebt briefly explains, only
It took a few minutes for Neo to figure out the whole story.
It turned out that at noon on the second day after the migration team settled in the valley, that is, the day when seven people including Valentina, Dave, and Neo left, the secret sentry deployed by the migration team outside the valley saw several refugees in ragged clothes.
, both old and young, looked very pitiful. I couldn't help but feel sympathy and stepped forward to ask. It turned out that they were also refugees led by Erdrit, who came from the Morolo Mountain Road. They said they were going northeast to the Central Avenue.
The migration team fled eastward. Although the route they chose was desolate, they managed to rescue hundreds of people. Moreover, there were not many others in the team, but they had plenty of human and animal meat. They didn't care about adding five more mouths, so they simply
After the inspection, these people were brought back to the migration team
Unexpectedly, these people, ranging from men to women, from old to young, are all gangsters, and they are quite good at dealing with people. The most skillful among them is a young woman who calls herself Mei Duo. She is not only very pretty, but also has a sweet mouth.
, knows how to do things, is diligent, and also has good herbal skills.
Since Liz left, although two Senmu Druids have filled the position of medical officer in the injured camp, due to various factors such as customs and habits, everyone has always had an awkward relationship with these two people.
Mei Duo filled the vacancy of the medical officer's assistant and communication link. By chance, she met Miriam who was visiting the sick camp and quickly became friends with her.
There is not much else left behind. Everyone in the migration team likes Mirien and takes good care of her. Although Mirien is vigilant, it is limited, and she has not yet gotten rid of the simplicity of judging people by their appearance. She is deceived and then treats the other person.
With the help of the police, he was robbed
"When I came back, I saw someone looking at the wind outside. Are they from them?"
Ebt nodded and said: "Yes, those guys have probed our details very clearly in the past few days and know about the existence of you and the Storm Team."
"Did they ask for anything?"
"Not yet, this is what makes everyone at a loss what to do."
Just then, Danny came back, "They want us to send someone who can speak well to talk about the ransom issue."
"Phew!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is a purpose
Xavier and everyone unconsciously looked at Neo. No matter in terms of experience or ability, in terms of military operations and paramilitary operations, Neo was the most authoritative in the migration team. Although Xavier didn't like Neo, he knew that
The meaning of delegating power, and in front of everyone, is to give Neo face. After all, most people in the migration team still think that he and Neo are a pair of model masters and servants who are both very manly.
Neo's thinking was very clear, and he only had one simple sentence: "Rescue the people first and then talk about it."
Naturally, everyone can understand the half of Neo's unsaid words from his tone of voice: no matter what the cost!
"I am the plenipotentiary representative of the migration team, I will go with you." Neo said and handed all the weapons to Barrit. He didn't even wear the most basic armor, except for fine linen underwear and a soft and close-fitting leather pants.
Although he wears a human-animal skin coat inside out, his clothes are a bit ordinary, but his tall figure and resolute gaze give him an intimidating demeanor. Let alone gangsters, even a human spirit with piercing eyes would have a hard time telling that Neo was born a slave.
"I hate it when people pretend to be heroes, tie me up!" A gangster with swollen eyes bared his yellow teeth and screamed in front of more than a hundred guards, Barritt and others.
Waits, who was next to Barritt, was furious at that time. He said in his heart that you are pretending to be your mother and you are really treating yourself like a green onion. I will kill your grandson with one knife!
But before Wiz could say anything, Barritt's hand had already grasped his hand that was reaching for the weapon like an iron band. Maher also moved his steps in time, blocking half of Wiz's body. Biqier whispered to Wiz.
He said from behind: "Are you going to cause trouble for the boss?"
Also angry were the members of the escort team. Fortunately, McCann and the others were also there, and they all shouted out words to stop the various impulsive behaviors of the team members.
The fishy-eyed gangster twitched his face like dried orange peel and said with a smile: "It seems that you are still popular! Tie me up and strangle the cow!"
Cow strangulation is a method of tying people, commonly used by soldiers, mercenaries, and bandits. The tied person's front is like having more than ten spider legs hanging on it, his hands are tied behind his back, and then his ankles are tied upwards.
, tilted back, and tied together with the same hands. This binding method is very cumbersome, but it is also extremely safe. Without magic such as transformation, it is impossible to break free. Of course, it is also very painful.
Being carried on the horseback like cargo, and wearing a rag hood with a pungent smell of sweat, Neo not only suffered from the bumps along the way, but also listened to the evil words with bubble eyes: "Damn it, I'm all
There is no horse to use, you are in luck!" From time to time, I will whip it with a riding crop, "Hey, your butt is still pretty, have you ever had your anus enjoyed? Do you want me to make you feel good?"
Neo was not interested in listening to the obscene talk. Although he couldn't see and his nose was dimmed by the smell of the hood, he still had ears and Nancy was there to help him record the horse's hooves.
You can feel the subtle changes in the horse's body center of gravity when turning, and even guess the hoof distance by feeling the horse's muscle operation.
After walking for more than 3 hours, we finally arrived at the end of the field. If it were an ordinary person, even with extraordinary hearing, it would be impossible to record every detail of such a long journey, let alone analyze the route based on these details and then Neo
With Nancy, his judgment plus Nancy's analysis, instant judgment, even after filling in the data, a schematic diagram has clearly depicted a group of gangsters taking Neo around in a circle. In fact, the distance is not that far, that is, it is not
It’s a 2-hour journey, and the horse doesn’t have enough energy to gallop
Neo heard the various sounds, movements, languages, and even heartbeats of life. He could distinguish their basic characteristics, men, women, the elderly, and children. Most of them were not in good health, and these noisy sounds were very
It was easy for Neo to picture a scene similar to the slums in his mind.
After getting off the horse, I was thrown into a small cart like a sack and pulled for more than ten minutes. Finally, I arrived at my final destination.
Taking off his hood, what Neo saw was an earthen cave dwelling of nearly a thousand square meters. The ring-column vault method made this pure earthen hall open and spacious. The stone pillars were easy to identify, and they were the same as the hall deep underground of Soles Church.
The ones used are very similar and are products of the Risfa era 800-1200 years ago.
Human buildings in the Risfa era fully absorbed the architectural concepts of the dwarves. They were solemn and majestic. Most of them used fine stones for their foundations and backbones. Therefore, there are not a few architectural ventilation systems and water channels of the Risfa era that have been completely preserved to this day.
The designs are all unique and hidden, but the effect is very good. Neo can't smell any stale smell in the air here, and although the ground is thick with soil, the stone floor below is smooth and regular, which is better than the top.
The few skylights that were opened were rough and crude, which destroyed the overall effect of the palace. It can be said to be quite a failure.
Footsteps sounded, and a young woman wearing a jackal fur scarf appeared in Neo's sight. She had a proud figure, and she was indeed handsome, but she was slightly thin, with some sunken eyes and a dull look on her cheeks.
Natural flushing, these can prove that her physical condition is good. Although Neo has no attainments in medicine, he can still tell that this is a manifestation of long-term malnutrition.
The young woman squatted down, put her right arm on her leg, held her chin in her hand, and said with a smile: "How is it? Neo, is your body still feeling well?"
"It's not good. This position is inherently uncomfortable. I was tied up for 4 hours and bumped on the horse for more than 3 hours. Considering that it was unlikely that you would prepare lunch for me, I couldn't bear to spend the morning."
Eat that bit of food and spit it out.”
The young woman was somewhat surprised by Neo's frank statement. She brushed her blond hair with some split hairs at her temples and said with a smile: "I thought a hero like you would have a lot of backbone, at least that's what it looks like."
Neo shrugged, "Since you know my name is Neo, you should understand my origin. Too much of anything is worthless, and the same goes for honor."
"That's just because those honors are not what you value."
"Maybe I don't really care about these things right now. It's best for us to get straight to the point." Neo is calm and calm. Neo feels that it is not suitable to show these characteristics now. The gangsters use spying, especially to deceive the kind and simple Miriam.
They should have enough information to defeat him, but he still puts on a show, either to make the other party more alert or to provoke ridicule, which has no practical significance.
