"rescue?"
Henry exclaimed, and stared at Wu Ming with incredulous eyes: "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy!"
Wu Ming said calmly: "Since the choice is this way, it is natural to be sure. Let's take a look at you! Everyone looks downcast, what do you look like?"
Inside the camp, there were still a few escaped soldiers who had already lost most of their equipment, looking very embarrassed and decadent.
However, the blond-haired Arthur and several captains of the soldiers were nowhere to be seen. They didn't know if they were dead or fled all the way back to Nia town.
Thinking of Arthur, Wu Ming's eyes suddenly darkened.
He vaguely felt that this person was targeting him. If the other party survived this time and he failed to return to Nia Town, the end would definitely not be very good.
Moreover, he came out this time to improve his status and get close to the high-level. Isn't the opportunity now
Although if he had worked harder last night, it would have been possible to break out with the Thakur knight, but this kind of kindness is small.
How can it be more impressive than being rescued from despair and despair when he is about to be swallowed by ogres
Since it is necessary to choose, it is natural to choose the path that maximizes the benefits.
It was so then, and it is so now.
Wu Ming cursed to boost the morale of this group of people, and stepped forward to bandage the wounds of each injured soldier to save lives.
With his first-hand knowledge of herbal medicine and trauma treatment, he naturally stabilized the injuries of several seriously wounded people very quickly, and won the respect of the entire team.
After all, this is the kindness obtained by personally saving lives and healing the wounded.
After counting, there are now thirteen people in this camp, which are full of unlucky numbers. Three are seriously injured, and the rest have minor injuries, but they haven't affected the activities much.
After eating briefly, Wu Ming announced his intention to rescue Knight Thakur again, and asked in a deep voice, "Who wants to be with me?"
Seeing the perplexed faces around him, he couldn't help but increase his voice: "What are we coming out for? Don't you want to go back so disheartened?"
"Think about who Lord Thakur is? If you rescue him back, what will he offer in return?"
Wu Ming is not suitable to be a speaker, but what he said is based on the interests of everyone, so it is very moving.
But there is still a big problem standing in front of everyone.
"It's just... that's a group of ogres, there are at least a hundred of them!"
A low voice came, tinged with fear.
The townspeople grew up listening to the horror legends of ogres. Although they were not too afraid of losing their lives on the battlefield, they were afraid of being swallowed alive by ogres!
Legend has it that the souls of humans eaten by ogres will sink into purgatory forever, tormented by flames and ice.
There are also rumors that those ogres have evil spells, which can imprison the souls of the dead, seal them on the original bones and teeth, and turn them into their own power.
…
Wu Ming obviously also knew that these people were afraid of ogres, so he made a promise: "Don't worry, I will tell you all the plans before I act, and it will be up to you to choose whether it is feasible or not! Who would like that?" ?”
"I!"
Andrew got up, and the man smiled, touching the scar on his face: "I have a debt, and I need to settle it with those brats!"
"And I!"
A silent big man stepped forward: "You saved my brother's life, I want to repay your kindness!"
After seeing two people make a choice, Henry hesitated for a moment, but still walked over: "I believe in you, boss!"
"Can you promise to tell the whole plan, and do we have the right to temporarily withdraw?"
Another mercenary stood up, and it was Heim who had the qualifications of a bard.
"I promise!"
Wu Ming replied in a deep voice.
"In that case..."
Haim smiled brightly, showing some yellow teeth: "I'll join!"
As for the others, they didn't move any more. Wu Ming made a decisive decision and asked them to return with the seriously injured.
…
"May I have your name?"
The five of Wu Ming took a rest and began to set foot on the road. He looked at the second big man who joined with his voice. He was wearing leather armor. He was not a mercenary, but a figure among soldiers.
"Gail!"
The big man smiled, looking very simple and honest: "They all call me a big man!"
"Aren't you escorting your brother back?"
Wu Ming asked his own doubts: "This journey is not safe..."
"We have three brothers, and he promises to send his brother back to Nia Town safely!" Gail said, "Gail owes you his life, and he will pay it back!"
"very good!"
The road during the day is easier to walk, and it didn't take long for them to see the small village of yesterday.
The village under the sun is clearer, and there are curls of green smoke rising.
"Those ogres haven't left yet!"
A few people lay on the hill, looking at the nearly a hundred savages in the village, they were all terrified.
"what are they doing?"
When Wu Ming watched the savage light the fire and start a certain ceremony, he asked a little puzzled.
"They are offering sacrifices and praying!"
It was Andrew who said this. He looked at this scene, as if caught in a certain emotion: "The ogre worships the god of flames, and firmly believes that they will gain the power of the person who is eaten, so they will use the best made ornaments from their prey and hung them around their necks... ”
Wu Ming suddenly thought of the savages he saw yesterday. On their necks, there were bead strings made of teeth and bones, full of barbaric and bloody smells.
"As long as the Thakur knight was not killed on the spot, he should not have died!"
Andrew affirmed with his rich experience: "In the eyes of ogres, soldiers wearing leather armor are the best food, and knights wearing thick iron armor are the best sacrifices, which will not be easily consumed..."
"This is not something to be proud of!"
Henry glanced at Andrew next to him sympathetically.
Obviously, he was guessing whether this companion also had a dark experience of being captured by an ogre.
"Okay... Boss!"
Haim was beside him, but he smiled lowly: "We've already arrived here, should you tell us your plan?"
When he made a sound, he immediately attracted the attention of several people.
"My plan is very simple, just wait!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Wu Ming's mouth.
"wait?"
The eyes of several people were a little puzzled.
"According to Andrew, Thakur is their most precious trophy, so it will not be consumed immediately, but will be escorted back to the tribe, right?"
Wu Ming looked at Andrew.
"good!"
Andrew nodded: "Thakur will receive preferential treatment until the other captives are eaten..."
"This group of ogres got so many captives in this battle, they will definitely be escorted back to the tribe. What we have to choose is a path to create chaos. It is best to set off a wave among the captives and take the opportunity to snatch out the knight!"
Wu Ming opened his hands and said.
"So... who is responsible for creating the chaos?"
Heim groaned anxiously.
"I suggest, of course I will go, you just need to choose to support by the side... Also, bring the knight's original horse, we need it!"
Knight Thakur originally brought three horses out, but he put them all in the camp for a sneak attack. Although others needed to transport the wounded, Wu Ming still detained one for use now.
Even if the Thakur knight was rescued, it was conceivable that one of them would be seriously injured, and they would have to take him back to Niah Town. Without a livestock, it would be a nightmare for anyone.
"Who is in charge of watching the horses?"
Henry asked suddenly.
"Gal, can I trust you?"
Wu Ming looked into his thick brown eyes.
"I owe you my life!"
Gail stared at Wu Ming and said directly.
…
Squeak! Squeak!
The wooden board rubbed against the ground, and the huge noise lingered around, causing Thakur to narrow his eyes.
His head was dizzy, and he felt that his body no longer belonged to him. The blue sky seemed to be spinning, and there were many figures around him.
"Where's my armor? Where's the sword..."
He wanted to open his mouth, but found that this action became extremely difficult. The only thing he could see was his armor. They had been scattered and worn on the bodies of several barbarians, regardless of whether they fit or not, and they were even worn backwards or wrongly. Yes, it looks like a clown performing a farce, which makes people want to laugh very much.
But Thakur couldn't laugh.
He recalled last night's attack, the fire, the cold arrow at a tricky angle, and the last ogre.
Yes, he was captured! Captured by a pack of ogres!
"Gods..."
He sighed silently in his heart, knowing his next fate.
The ogres are not nobles or bandits, and they have no interest in the ransom. The only thing they care about is him!
The fate of being eaten alive made Thakur shudder.
"My soul... my family... no... knights should die honorably on the battlefield, how can they accept such a disgraceful death?"
Struggling, he prayed to every god whose name he could think of.
Regardless of the name of the old god, the new god, or the god of mountains and rivers, the god of the forest, or even the ogre god of flames, no one responded.
At this time, even if a devil extended a helping hand in hell, he would probably accept it without hesitation.
However, no matter how much he prayed, there was still no response.
The god who once admired him, blessed him in the church, and swore an oath did not respond in the slightest.
Terrible despair enveloped the poor Thakur knight.
"Jie Jie..."
At this time, the surrounding ogres seemed to realize that he had woken up, surrounded him, and fed him a bright red flower.
He couldn't resist at all, he just felt a tingling taste emanating from his taste buds.
"Damn ogre, it's a devil's flower!"
A thought emerged, making Thakur even more desperate.
But at this moment, there was a commotion ahead!
