Convenient information communication is a pain point in most times. Not everyone has a link network that ignores space constraints like Zhou Qingfeng.
At a distance of more than fifty meters, the shouts of normal people seem to be mime. It is more convenient to use tools such as horns for short-distance transmission.
The war in the cold weapon age has this difficulty. Once the troops are scattered, it will be difficult to recover them. So the reserve team is very important.
Exxon scattered more than a hundred trumpeters, and then he had to blow the trumpet if he wanted to gather. The bronze horn of Kotias just didn't sound for some reason. He could only send out the few remaining subordinates around him as a messenger.
Tias also had to leave the road and ride his horse to the northwest. He wants to contact the knight squads in the two villages and bring the personnel back.
It's only a few hundred meters away, not much.
Follow a muddy road through a fence covered with vines. At the entrance of the village lay two headless bodies that had just died. The blood was flowing crookedly, and the corpse was surrounded by messy horseshoe prints, towards the village.
The head of the corpse rolled in a stinking ditch, and the grinning face showed the fear before death. From the outside, it was the people in the village who died.
Since going to Green Valley with Sir Exxon, Tias has been numb to the scene. The aristocratic master hates the low-level untouchables like lice, and wants to eliminate them all.
Steering horses over the corpses, shouting and cursing one after another in the village. From time to time, someone panicked and dashed around, and then they were overtaken by horses or arrows.
A knight came out of a broken room, his attendant clutching two chickens. There was a farmer lying down in the yard of the house, covered in blood.
"Tias, what are you doing here?" The knight who came out was surprised. Because this rookie should stay with Sir Alex Ferguson.
"There is an emergency, Sir Alex asked me to call you back to the team." Tias said.
"Wait a minute, we are busy." The knight and attendant laughed, and went to another farmhouse. They didn't take the emergency situation seriously.
'Rookie' opened his mouth, knowing that it was useless to shout. These knights are higher than him in terms of seniority and rank, and would not listen to him at all.
In essence, the military aristocracy at all levels is no different from the serf soldiers at the bottom. Once out of the sight of high-ranking nobles, don't expect them to obey orders obediently.
Whether it was Exxon or Tias, they didn't expect to gather the personnel immediately. It would be nice to be able to complete this work within an hour.
Annoyed by these gangsters, they would even hide from the messenger, and even openly rebelled.
Tias could only find other knights, and at any rate he had to report the orders one by one. But he didn't walk far, and a scream was heard behind him.
Has any hapless villager been killed
'Rookie' looked back, sighed and continued to walk through the dilapidated village. Walking to the center of the village, an unowned war horse sprang from the diagonal thorn.
The saddle on the horse is complete, except for the rider.
This is so strange. Which knight released his horse
Tias stepped forward to hold the horse and looked around among the chaotic village houses, trying to find its owner. But a gust of wind blew in the village that was full of crying, and it became quiet.
It makes my heart hairy.
"Hey..., whose horse is not tied?" Tias shouted, but no one answered. He could only walk in the direction where the horses came, and when he turned the corner, he saw a peasant woman sitting under the corner.
Seeing Tias in armor, the peasant woman yelled in exclamation, tears streaming down, crying bitterly for survival. He frowned and asked, "Where is the master riding this horse?"
After asking this several times, the trembling peasant woman tremblingly stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction.
Tias turned his head and looked at it. At first, he found nothing. After looking at it for a long time, he recognized a corpse not far away that was unique.
Unlike other untouchable corpses in tatters, this corpse wore a helmet and armor, and held a war knife in his hand. But there was a deep cut in his back, right in the position of the vest.
"Damn it, this is murder, you all have to die." Tias recognized the identity of the corpse, furious. He drew out his saber and was about to ask the peasant woman who made it.
The moment he turned around, a figure sprang out from the roof of the thatched hut in the village, grabbed a light crossbow and aimed at Tias, and what was shot was a blow.
Tias just turned around, swiped his sword, the blade screamed, and the crossbow shot flew over his shoulder. He was frightened out of a cold sweat, and when he looked at the roof, he was a small halfling.
The other party was rewinding and making faces at him.
Crossbow arrow
The attacker
This group of guys actually came again in broad daylight.
With a loud voice, Tias immediately turned on his horse, and quickly fled while the opponent was on the string. As he fled, he shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, gather quickly."
The village was quiet just now, but it was a mess in the blink of an eye. A knight waved his two-handed sword and rushed out, trying to rendezvous with Tias. But in front of him he blocked a human ranger with a tower shield.
The knight called Tias to come and help. The two-handed sword was a half-meter long light blade, but it was still unable to break through the ranger's tower shield.
Tias still hesitated for a while, would you like to help? But a sharp arrow shot from not far away, piercing the armor, and hitting the knight's vest.
In the blink of an eye on horseback riding, Tias saw a beautiful female elf standing about 20 meters away. The longbow and arrows in her hand are shining, and each arrow can hit or even kill the target.
A knight squad has only a dozen people, scattered in a village, it is impossible to form a joint force, and it is easily encircled and killed by the opponent. Some knights stumbled out and were hit hard on the face.
In a panic, Tias slid on his horse and ran fast, ignoring others. He had to pray that the female elf just now would kill other knights, not to find himself.
When he was about to leave the entrance of the village, the knight who caught the chicken when he entered the village rushed out. The other side's attendant had fallen to the ground, with a broken stomach. He hurriedly stopped in the middle of the road and shouted: "Tias, good boy, take me quickly."
Tias didn't slow down at all, but instead slammed his whip fiercely.
At the moment of the impact, the horse's speed and direction changed slightly, causing a sharp arrow flying from behind not to hit Tias's head, but instead hit his ass.
At the moment the arrow hit, Tias did not respond. He just wanted to run quickly. The half-elf archer who aimed at him was extremely annoyed and apologized to Xili, who was commanding the scene, stroking her chest.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if one is let go." Xili held the magic bow and looked at the escaped war horse contemptuously, "Go to the next village. There are more dregs that we need to deal with."
Fleeing to the outside of the village, Tias looked back and saw that no one was chasing him, his palpitations were slightly relaxed. He continued to shout loudly: "Lord, Sir Exxon. There are... in the village over there."
It is said that the dignified lord is waiting in the middle of the road to come back.
But Tias saw a person slowly standing opposite Ferguson, and the semi-plane space was opened behind him, and a mechanical dragon crawled out of it with his mighty momentum.
Lord Exxon was ready to fight, riding a horse and holding a knife, raising his momentum and hoping to fight to the death.
Tias just glanced at it and knew that Sir Alex had no way to survive. He simply moved his horse's head and quickly passed through the fields beside the road. From beginning to end, he only had time to boost the morale of Sir Alex Ferguson...
"Lord, don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children!"
