Valentina arranged for Neo to live in the house, but Neo would rather stay with the white socks. A shed with a shelter from the wind, a mat of hay, and a blanket were enough.
The militiaman responsible for bringing Neo to the pen came back to report. Valentina nodded and said: "Be more careful. This Neo needs at least 10 of you to have a chance to subdue it."
The militiamen looked surprised, but they still nodded. In Mashua, Valentina's prestige is as high as that of Seve, and in terms of wisdom and vision, she is even more admired by the younger generation of militiamen.
This was destined to be a restless night. Not long after Valentina lay down with her clothes fully clothed, someone came to report, and she found a lone horseman whose identity was unknown, approaching on horseback.
Immediately afterwards, another person came to report. It was Owen, a member of the first group of Tan Cavalry sent out. He was injured and could no longer even signal to identify himself.
Owen was almost carried into the middle hall of the earthen castle. He had knife wounds, ax wounds and two arrow wounds on his body. Barbed wattle arrows were the most commonly used arrows by Monstock's barbaric aliens.
"Kedim... the striker is already in Chibna!" Owen saw Valentina, struggled to wriggle his chapped lips a few times, and then fainted.
"Have you called Watts?"
"I've already called for it. It should arrive soon."
Valentina nodded, "Carry it to the fireplace, help Owen remove his clothes, hot water, towels, liquor, and prepare for treatment."
"Yes!" Several militiamen acted quickly, calmly and neatly, not at all as quick as the professionals in the military camp.
Valentina accidentally looked back and saw Neo standing solemnly at the door.
"What's the matter?"
"Ambush and deal with the aftermath," Neo said carefully.
Valentina immediately understood what Neo meant, and while taking the sword from the big oak table, she ordered: "Danny, Dick, Gale, David, bring your weapons and follow me, Drew,
You take over the affairs here temporarily."
Neo silently watched everyone's reactions at the door, and wrote down the appearance and names of several people. The four people Valentina called were the four people who met him when the five knights met him before. This made Neo
Realizing that there are not many truly useful warriors in Mashua
When Valentina and others prepared their horses and set off, Neo followed naturally. The young female knight took one look at it, said nothing, put on her helmet, got on her horse, and rushed out first.
6 riders followed the footprints left by Owen's horse in the opposite direction, walked about 2 kilometers, and stopped next to a very gentle mound.
"Let's set up an ambush here!" Valentina said commandingly.
Several young people dismounted and began to take action. Just looking at their skilled looks, they knew that they had undergone similar training on weekdays.
Neo didn't move, and he didn't even get off his mount. He took out a very light silk ribbon, clamped it between his forefinger and middle finger, stretched his arm forward, sniffed and sniffed at the same time, and twisted his head from time to time.
"Our sword fighting champion is stumped," Danny whispered to his companions while turning over the snow with a small shovel.
"It's really difficult to set up an ambush on such a gentle slope," David responded.
"It seems there is another way." Gale looked at Neo's actions from time to time. He could at least tell that the silk ribbon was probably used to measure the wind direction. They also knew how to measure the wind direction. It was taught by Valentina. There were many
There are many ways, but they are simpler and faster than what Neo used, and they take much less time.
"I hope it won't hold us back. I heard that werewolves smell very bad, especially after sweating." Dick was the least optimistic about Neo. If not for other reasons, it was because of the ragged fur on the white socks. He thought
White socks have been following Neo for a long time
Even Valentina is doing it, and is responsible for the most difficult part of setting up an ambush. When covering the hoof prints, Valentina waves her hands and releases her combat energy, forming a small wind roll close to the ground.
Wherever the scroll passed, the hoof prints of the six cavalrymen disappeared one after another.
What impressed Neo the most was that Valentina's control of power was so exquisite. Winds were constantly born and disappeared, wandering all over the ground, but none of them had ever destroyed the set of hoof prints left by Owen's mount nearby.
Seeing that the disguised hiding place of several people was about to be dug, Neo finally moved and saw him whispering a few words to White Socks intimately, and then the messy-coated warg left in a leap.
Then, Neo put on his cloak and rolled on the ground where the white socks left.
The word "rolling all over the ground" is not an exaggeration at all. It was like a child making a fool of himself, and there was no plan. But as it rolled, people disappeared. The night wind blew, and Neo rolled over.
The place quickly became indistinguishable from other places.
The four Dicks looked at each other, and they all saw the incredible look on each other's expressions.
"In which year of militia training has such a course been taught?" Danny asked
"What I don't understand is how he rolled away those three throwing spears and weapons!" David said, scratching his head.
"The location he chose to hide should be the direction from which the enemy came?" Gale was confused.
"This guy is a great guy!" Dick could only admire.
Valentina didn't say anything. After seeing Neo's actions, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and then after thinking for a moment, she changed her lurking position.
Facts have proved that Neo is indeed a great man. About ten minutes later, the scouts of the barbaric aliens arrived in the Erdrit Territory. It was a land that had become unfamiliar to these aliens. According to a saying circulated in Monstock: Fight.
If you hurt a wild horse, you can often find the habitat of a wild horse herd. Owen is what the foreigners call a wounded wild horse.
Cordim are half-human beasts, with the lower body of a leopard and the upper body of a human. Like centaurs, these guys are large creatures. Adult Cordim often weigh more than 1,500 pounds. It is said that some special Cordim clans have a net weight of even more than
This number is twice as much!
The eleven half-human beasts did not follow the hoof prints left by Owen's mount, but took a circuitous route and ran from the side of the hoof prints. When they saw the gentle mound, the leading half-human beast focused his eyes.
He glanced around vigilantly, then drew his arrow and drew his bow.
A light blade suddenly flew up from under the snow. Due to the extremely close distance and the tricky angle, the half-human beast didn't even make a move to dodge. The light blade struck hard, and half of its body was cut off at an angle, killing him instantly.
Following this blade light, Valentina jumped into the air, swept the long swords she held with both hands, and another light blade burst out, killing one half-human beast and one injured each.
The four Dicks jumped out of their hiding place when they heard the sound of fighting, not when they saw the enemy, because the enemy was behind them.
Some people acted as bait and others as hooks. Overall, the ambush was successful. The powerful Valentina killed these Cordim in one move. The appearance of Dick and the four people even more panicked them.
However, this Cordim team also has its highlights. As soon as they saw the ambush, three Cordim from the rear team scattered away. The routes they took were in three completely different directions. It was obvious that
This can ensure that the information is passed back to a great extent
It was under this situation that Neo got angry
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that Neo's ambush point could be calculated to be less than 3 meters away from the target. When he emerged from the snow, the last remaining fighting spirit of the Cordim were shaken away.
Three throwing spears, three directions, before Neo's body landed, two throwing spears had already been shot, and all of them hit the target accurately. The strong force caused the two fleeing Cordim to be pierced through the chest by the throwing spears, no matter who
Anyone who sees it will believe it. They have no chance to report the news.
The moment it landed, Neo's third spear also flew out. At the same time, the stone ax thrown by the nearest Cordim in desperation narrowly passed over his head.
, Neo even clearly felt that the rough hemp rope on the side of the stone ax scraped his hair. This blow affected the projection level of the third spear to a certain extent. Although it hit Cordim, the position was a little lower.
and failed to cause penetrating injuries
Neo no longer paid attention to the injured Cordim, but drew out his swords and joined the battle.
The Cordyms are good at mobile warfare. Their bows and arrows while running can be as accurate as when humans focus on shooting. They climb over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. Their hand-held stone axes and knives can form a wave that flies as fast as wind and as smooth as water.
Attack linkage, even collision and trampling are also their specialties.
However, in pure close combat without speed, the Cordym's huge bodies become a burden, especially...
In this battle, Neo's acumen and strength were at their peak, fast and powerful. Even Valentina looked at him with his slashing movements. The blade was as straight as a cut, and one cut would break two pieces.
The momentum seems to ignite the blood of the viewer, making people's veins stretch and their energy and blood surge.
Phew! Another stone ax was split into two under the green steel sword. Also cut off was half of the head of the owner of this stone ax. Because the sword was so fast, the incision was extremely neat and smooth, and there was no blood spurting for a long time.
, until the body of Cordim fell down, and the only remaining eye blinked.
The Cordim also tried running in order to enter the mobile battle they are good at. However, when Valentina rushed into their queue, this attempt became an impossible dream, even though these Cordim were part of their group.
The best among them, but their enemies are also the same, and they are more well-trained and well-equipped.
Valentina takes over the overall situation with the light blade slash that unleashes her combat power, eliminating hidden dangers and paving the way for Dick and others. All Dick and the others have to do is to make a sharp knife wholeheartedly.
"This is an upgraded version of hunting!" Danny used his small buckler of pure steel to deflect the attack of a Cordim, and then cut off the opponent's throat with a sharp blade.
"Who says it's not?" Gale is using a battle axe. His strength is no less powerful than Neo's, so that once the target cannot dodge his bombardment, the casualties are often the worst.
It's bloody and tragic
Dick and David are a duo, with a left-handed sword and a right-handed sword. They attack and defend, and they work together tacitly.
A few minutes later, the last Cordim fell under Valentina's sword, and the price paid was only two flesh wounds on the strong Gale.
White Socks came out of the darkness, holding the head of the injured Cordim in his mouth. At this point, Cordim's tracking team was completely wiped out.
"Wow, what are you doing!" Strong men are respected by others. Dick planned to say hello to Neo, but when he got closer, he found that Neo was taking a dagger to shave off a piece of Cordim's waist.
Eat raw meat
Neo chewed the fresh meat and met Dick's disgusted, surprised, and creepy eyes, and said slowly: "The minions of darkness killed nearly half of the townspeople in Tulip Town and took away more than 80% of them.
Food, Cropp's food reserves were also ruined a lot by soldiers and bandits, and the food we have left won't last long."
"But these Cordim are wisdom..." Dick actually wanted to say: Cordim are intelligent beings. If you eat them, wouldn't it be the same as cannibalism? But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his doubts were weak and weak.
He had tried Hungry Days, but when he added the title "It lasts for an unknown amount of time" before this, it was indeed quite disappointing.
Valentina came over, looked at Neo silently, and said in a deep voice: "You go back and talk to Dave Mamores, we are willing to sell some food to the people of Tures."
Neo nodded, "I request to have the corpses of these Cordim at my disposal."
Dick raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you still planning to eat their corpses?"
Neo said in a deep voice: "Fighting requires strength, and grains and vegetables can't bring much strength!"
"You can go hunting!?"
Neo smiled slightly and said in his heart: "Hunting, you talk about it lightly, do you think that hunting is just a matter of walking a few miles and you can hunt wild boars and deer?"
"Okay, but the scene needs to be handled cleanly." Although Valentina has a good impression of Neo, she still can't accept the fact that Neo eats Cordim meat. She can't help but think that "werewolves are werewolves, and they can't escape from animal nature."
Thoughts, the tone of speaking unconsciously brought out some emotions
Neo heard it, but he didn't take it to heart to survive in human society. He still wanted to retain some of the wildness of the werewolf, which made him look down upon. In this situation, it is nothing at all.
"It is said that the Cordim can find the place where their people died through ancient witchcraft. This place will inevitably be exposed. Maybe you are willing to fight a larger-scale trap ambush." Neo said while giving a Cordim
Skinned and bled, although the upper body of this human beast is almost exactly the same as a human, from the waist down, it is completely identical to a big cat beast. In other words, their fur is quite good, especially after the winter mane has been shed.
"You will only arouse Cordim's anger," Valentina reminded Neo.
"Thank you for the reminder." Neo thanked him, but the work in his hands did not stop.
The winner gets everything from the loser, including the corpse
In fact, this law is not only applicable in the world of beasts and savages, but also in the world of humans. It is very simple. A pig goes into the water, the flesh and blood is eaten, the skin is used, the bristles become brushes, and the bones are made into soup.
, boiled the glue, pressed into powder and became part of the feed, even the urine bubbles became children's toys, used from head to hoof, from the inside out, and in the end they had to find some high-sounding reasons to cover up in Neo
It seems that this is one of the side effects of human civilization, hypocrisy
Only intelligent beings under the influence of such a civilization believe that wise people are noble and other lives are inferior. The noble ones should rest in the tomb, while the inferior ones should be dealt with as they please.
Races that survive in the wilderness are not like this. Before a battle, they will often say to you unscrupulously: "Hey, I will peel off your skin and use it as a scarf." This is not because of hatred, but because they really like you.
Skin
Seeing that Neo obviously didn't buy her account, Valentina didn't say anything more. She said hello and left with Dick and others first. In fact, she had paid attention to Neo's suggestion and rushed back now.
We need to mobilize manpower and lay a trap here
It took Neo more than an hour to complete the preliminary skinning and dismemberment work. At this time, Dick and more than a hundred young laborers from Mashua had arrived. Dick brought Neo two horses, indicating that this was
Valentina expressed her gratitude to Neo for his actions on behalf of herself and the people of Mashua Territory.
Neo accepted the gift, knowing that he was now clear. He asked Dick for some hemp rope and a few boards, and made a simple soft plow. Neo transported Cordim's body to a place in three times.
He found this snow nest among low hills when he went to Kuian. It was closer to the Fallen Leaf Valley, less than 5 kilometers away.
After all, a person's strength is limited. By the time Neo finished his work, it was already almost 6 o'clock. Because there were two horses, Neo could not sleep in the wild, so he returned to Cropp overnight, without disturbing Diff and Miriam, but instead
I briefly explained the matter to Ebut, who was on duty the following night, and then found a sheltered place and fell into a deep sleep.
ps: This trip to Beijing can be described as very depressing.
