The five-hundred-man army of Abetta did not sleep well all night.
It doesn't matter if you are hungry, there was an inexplicable fire in the middle of the night. Without waiting for any response from the stationed personnel, the fire became extremely violent in an instant, burning the entire village.
Those who can live in the village are noble knights and war horses. This was originally a preferential treatment to shelter the wind and rain. But the wind was strong at night and the fire was fierce. Everyone was awakened in a deep sleep, and their eyes were full of fire.
The fire came so fast that even Abetta herself was taken aback. The house he lives in is the most complete and clean in the village, but there are also the most'flaming glue' pots buried in the house.
He couldn't sleep at night, and Abetta didn't take off his armor. The moment it caught fire, he grabbed his sword and rushed out of the burning room. In the blink of an eye, fires began to burn in all parts of the village, and hundreds of people scurried like headless flies.
The flames burned with crackling sounds, and the messy people screamed.
Some knights took off their armor before going to bed, and they wanted to go back to the fire and grab back valuable family equipment. But nothing can be seen in the flames, and the fire can burn through the entire house in a minute or two.
Luckily, he was forced out by the flames. If you are unlucky, the house burned down directly, and it was a serious burn and scald when it came out. Some people were buried directly in the fire and burned to ashes.
In the face of the billowing heat, no matter how high the combat skills are, you have to flee.
Abetta couldn't stand in the fire, her hair and eyebrows were burnt and curled up. Before his eyes were all stray heads, shouting the names of his attendants, but no one obeyed the orders.
I didn't even bother to scold him, but Abeta could only push and stumbling all the way out of the village. He looked back again, and the fire swept across the village, reflecting half of the night sky.
Many knights had no idea about the fire, and they took their attendants to try to get the horse's goods out. As a result, a few people ran away slowly and turned into torches, shouting miserably in the flames.
Hundreds of infantry soldiers stationed outside the village but escaped. They were stunned from start to finish, no one started to fight the fire, watching the noble noble officers and their attendants burn in the fire.
During the day the soldiers were poisoned and abandoned, and the nobles burned themselves by fire at night.
After Abeta came out, he jumped. At least seven or eight of his noble officers were burned to death, and thirty or forty were injured. Even the more noble more than a dozen spellcasters were missing one or two, without a trace.
What's more terrible is that the knights' horses are all tied up in the village, and less than half of them can be rescued in a panic. Many horses can't break free of the restrained reins, immortal for a while in the sea of flames, and let out a desolate neigh.
When the horse is resting, the saddle halter will be removed, and a large amount of ancillary supplies will be put aside. These equipments are often the valuable assets of a certain knight, and a fire will turn them all into fly ash.
The flames radiated high temperatures, and the escaped knights stood more than ten or twenty meters away from the fire, most of them were dumbfounded by the sudden fire. Even those who suffered heavy losses simply yelled frantically, grabbing hair and clenching fists were countless.
Abetta was holding a saber, but the scabbard was missing. He came out of the fire with a dark face and ragged armor, and he wanted to force hundreds of infantrymen to fight the fire.
But the soldiers who had always obeyed the orders did not obey except one after another. Even if Abetta sternly held up his saber to chase, the soldiers could at best escape further.
The breathing in his chest is like a bellows, and the buzzing and stinging of the scalp is like a defeat. Abetta has never experienced this in her life. A fire burned away the fame he had built up so hard to build up.
Not only the civilian soldiers dodge, but even the noble knights under his command looked bad. Everyone has no face, and the loss is not small. At this moment, they all think of why they suffered this crime
Isn't it just that Abetta insisted on acting as an anvil. He demands fame and fame and makes fun of others' lives. How many days has it been majestic? I was tossed to this point.
Exxon's precedent is ahead, and Abetta is still arrogant. The casualties are still the second place. The key is the loss of horses and supplies and loss of confidence.
The fire in the village burned all night, and the next morning there was still smoke.
The team of five hundred people had nowhere to go at night, and could only stay up until dawn to prepare to return to Dense Mist Town. They destroyed a village again, but not by the usual means.
The way back is harder to walk than when it came.
The power of the commander comes from the recognition of others, but Abetta tried to regroup and reorganize the personnel, but found that his subordinates were no longer as instructive as they used to be.
After counting, there are more than 300 people left under Abetta’s more than 500 people who can command.
Excluding the sporadic losses and those engulfed by the fire, about two dozen knights led their infantrymen out of the team and demanded to rush back to Dense Mist Town alone.
This is a serious challenge to Abetta's authority, but he can't stop it. Because the subordinates did not trust his commanding ability, and believed that returning to the original route would only be ambushed.
Before leaving the team, the noble knight acting alone pointed at Abetta's nose and cursed: "You idiot, this is all caused by your arrogance.
You destroyed so many villages and killed so many villagers, you made a big mistake. Abetta, you have been targeted, you must have been targeted by the monsters of the Black Forest.
We have no food and drink, no supplies, we don’t even have enough horses. Hort and Kane, who vowed to help you, escaped long ago.
The enemy didn't even show up a shadow, and we were made like this by some traps. This situation has never happened before. We all have to die if we follow you again. "
The division of the team has shaken the military's mind the most, and the remaining more than 300 people also doubt whether Abetta is really being targeted. The reason why they didn't leave was just panicking and not knowing where to go
In front of the burned village, the rest of the team still looked at their commander.
"Follow me. I'll clear the way this time." Abetta was in a mess, riding around the remaining knights and infantry on a horse to mobilize, "Is there any trap, I will carry it first."
This sounds interesting. With the dignified lord ahead, the morale of the team is at its lowest level anyway. As long as there are sane people, they will still choose to leave together.
The straight-line distance of Dense Fog Town is just six or seven kilometers away. If you march quickly, you can get back in a day. Everyone wants to go back quickly, and don't want to stay for a while.
Abetta rode a horse, grabbed two shields, and was alone at the front of the line. He only returned the same way because he walked this way yesterday, and he stepped on all the traps he supposedly should have.
But if the enemy hidden in the dark will set up traps again, I don't know.
Woods, grasses, hillsides and valleys are indispensable among the wilderness villages. The way back is frightening, and a turbulent movement can make a person’s heart beat faster. Often a flock of birds flying out of the forest can scare people to a standstill.
In the beginning, the subordinates still followed the Lord for ten meters.
Gradually, everyone looked around, slower and slower, and the distance became wider and wider. The interval in between became more than fifty meters.
Abetta looked back and saw that she was so far away from her subordinates that he was so angry that he cursed: "You bastards, why are you hiding so far? This way is very safe, let me come up."
It's okay not to shout these words. After shouting, all the people who followed were panicked. The knights with horses turned around and ran away, and the infantry ran away. More than 300 people broke up in a rush!
Abetta felt a palpitating feeling, as if something terrible was approaching. He slowly turned his head back, and a mechanical dragon came out of the forest in front of the road. On the dragon's back sat a knight in closed armor.
The earth travel dragon has a monster head full of edges and barbs. It slowly approached, its eyes fired, and said in a low, but wandering tone: "Poor fellow, are you ready to be eaten by me?"
