From Dense Mist Town to Shitan Town to Banshee Fort, the straight-line distance is about 50 kilometers. The roads diverge along the way, connecting countless villages. There are often fields on both sides of the road, and cottages surrounded by simple wooden walls farther away.
Just yesterday, a robbery occurred on this dirt road that was only a few meters wide. A hundred horse-drawn carriages formed a serpentine convoy and were attacked in broad daylight.
Sir Exxon of Long Legs...
Oh, Sir Exxon, who should be the Buche family now, is standing at the intersection, staring at the mess of the road on horseback, his brain frantic.
The rookie knight Tias, as an attendant, followed Sir Alex in a daze. He only knows that the situation is serious, but he still doesn't know how serious it is.
A hundred carriages stretched back and forth for several miles, and there were only five or six hundred guards. But such a team was knocked down by the crowd and fled.
This seriously damages the majesty of the Butcher family, just like pumping Friedman Butcher's face with the soles of feces, and the opposite side of the smoke blooms.
The consequences of the lack of food are too serious to tolerate the slightest sloppy. Baron Bishop stopped in Dense Fog and ordered Lord Exxon to bring more than a hundred knights to quickly investigate the situation.
As soon as he arrived on the road where the incident occurred, Sir Alex Ferguson was enraged by the situation on the scene.
It wasn't how many people died that made Exxon angry, but the damaged carriage and scattered grains were almost wiped out.
"I went to the surrounding villages to arrest people, and saw the untouchables who had looted family property, and immediately executed them. Those convoy guards who escaped must also be hiding nearby, to arrest some for questioning.
Exxon gritted his teeth and gave orders. In order to come as soon as possible, he did not bring infantry, and all family knights behind him.
Hearing the order, hundreds of knights dispersed and followed the country road to carry out Sir Alex's orders.
Tias, who was promoted to a "pro-family", didn't move. He was considered to have the experience of sharing the joys and sorrows with Ferguson. He rode his horse forward for two or three miles with Exxon, making sure that the entire grain transport team was finished.
In broad daylight, the team guards lacked vigilance. The assailant pinched very accurately and attacked from both ends of the road. Someone was also sent in the middle to cut off, making it difficult for the team to look at each other from end to end.
Can't even escape.
Exxon looked at the villages on both sides of the road and said bitterly: "There must be an accomplice of the attackers here. Without their assistance, the convoy could not be finished so easily."
Tias looked around, he could also think that the attacker should be lying in ambush in a nearby village. As the convoy passed, they suddenly drove out, drove the guards, overthrew the carriage, killed the service horse, and split the axle of the carriage.
The axle is a key component of the carriage. Without it, the car is a waste.
The attackers came and went like wind, from one end of the road to the other, with a particularly strong purpose. They evacuated as soon as their mission was completed, and the residents of nearby villages immediately came out to pick up the bargains.
The scrapped carriages were dismantled, the dead horses were cut up as meat, the grain and grass on the carriages were not wasted, and all were moved away by humans.
The huge convoy was looted in less than a day, leaving only a little bit of wheat, flour, dried meat and other crumbs on the ground, and what was left were the dead bodies of the guards falling down.
The good fighting on the front line was suddenly interrupted, and thousands of troops could not move. Exxon cursed wildly in his heart-who is so courageous? Isn't he afraid of being retaliated by the Butcher family
Sir Alex Ferguson's mind was full of anger of being humiliated openly by the enemy, and for a while, he really didn't expect that some people were not afraid of revenge at all-they were already fighting, and they were afraid of revenge by a ghost.
Naturally how fierce it came!
More than one hundred knights were divided into ten groups and scattered to the surrounding villages to arrest people. Before long, screams and crying were heard on both sides of the road.
Men's, women's, young, old, and so on.
Exxon stood by the side of the road, waiting to get the untouchables. Tias's face turned pale for a while, and he could already think of what would happen next.
The first to be caught was the convoy escort who escaped during the attack. They experienced yesterday's bloody impact and fighting, but they managed to escape but could not escape at all, so they could only hide in a nearby village.
After several escaped guards were tied to the horse by ropes, the knights dragged them all the way to Exxon. They stumbled and were covered in blood long ago, and they knelt and cried when they saw Sir Alex Ferguson.
Exxon glanced fiercely for a few seconds, pointed at one of them, and shouted: "Kill him."
The escorted knight raised his hand with a knife and slit the neck of a guard. The man fell to the ground immediately, covering his neck with his hands, struggling and trying to call for help.
The remaining few people are even more cocky, and they are already devoid of expression.
Only then did Exxon ask, "What happened yesterday? Only if you can make it clear can you live."
The guards who were caught cried and screamed, saying that they knew it. When they were almost screaming incoherently, Exxon let one of them speak more eloquently.
"Master, it's not that we didn't work hard, it's really that the attacking guy was too fierce. Twenty orcs rushed out desperately. They are strong, run fast, and have extremely sharp axes. We can't stop them at all.
Those barbarians are not afraid of death when they get up, and the brothers who greet them are cut off by the orcs with an axe. Our knives and shields are not as good as theirs, and we die before we can understand them. "
The talking guard knocked his head like garlic, and all blood hit his forehead. But his companion immediately retorted: "Master, it's not an orc, not an orc, but a bunch of adventurers, and the leader is a tower shield.
There were more than a dozen people behind Tadun, and they shot at us with light crossbows. The crossbow shot out was accurate and ruthless, and our shield couldn't stop it either. The front-row guard was too late to hide, and died in the blink of an eye. "
Before the second guard could catch his breath, someone retorted loudly: "Nonsense, bullshit, you are all bullshit. There are no orcs or adventurers at all. They are actually some powerful wizards.
A necromancer in a black robe emerged like a puff of smoke, and rushed in front of us with many tall skeleton soldiers. Our people resisted the Skeleton Soldier, but were dispersed by a giant bear.
Behind the giant bear is a small witch, holding a handful of gems in her hand. This witch is really bad, she looked weak, but when we rushed over, the overwhelming arcane arts smashed over. "
Several of the guards had their noses and tears, arguing for their lives, making Exxon's head stunned.
This is another orc, another adventurer of different races, wizards and druids, and some even say that they have seen a dwarf. What kind of hodgepodge team is this
Thinking about it makes me a headache.
Wait.... There is only one place in the entire Northland where there is such a hodgepodge team. Exxon has even encountered it and tasted it.
"Use a light crossbow to attack your team of adventurers?" Exxon seemed to have grasped some important information.
One of the guards nodded quickly, "Master, sir, I said. The attackers I met are light crossbows. The arrows they shoot are amazing. Our shields can't stop them."
Crossbow arrows
"Where were you attacked? Where is your companion's body?" Exxon asked, his heart beating wildly, and his body was sweating.
The guard who was questioned glanced around and pointed out the approximate location of his attack yesterday.
Exxon hurried away and found a few corpses that had been hit by a crossbow. He used the dagger he wore to cut through the wound of the corpse, and quickly dug out a special slender crossbow.
This all-metal crossbow is sharp and thin, and even the light crossbow that fires it must be specially made. There is only one family in the entire Northland-Coldwind City.
Exxon had been shot by this kind of crossbow, and he knew how harsh this little thing was. Holding the bloody crossbow, he shouted in astonishment: "It's Victor Hugo. Only he can do this."
