Chapter Seventy-Two: Interception
Pousie sat on his horse, staring blankly at the gray sky in the distance, swaying as the horses jolted, feeling that everything was numb.
He was so numb that he couldn't feel the pain anymore.
Three months ago, his eldest brother, the eldest son of the Cotton family, accidentally fell into the river after drinking and drowned. Everyone was sad, but there was a little excitement in his heart, which meant that the choice of the family's heir would change.
Then there was the unprovoked collapse of the other two families, and for a time Chaburg was left with only the Kirton family dominant, which made him even more excited, as if he had seen a greater opportunity beckoning to him.
If the opportunity comes, he will lead the family to become the sole lord of Cheebor and make an immortal contribution to the family.
It wasn't until his father, Earl Kirton, fell off a cliff from a mountain and died that he finally smelled something abnormal, but it was too late, and then his second brother and two sisters disappeared one after another, and he huddled in the house and didn't dare to go anywhere, and finally was taken as the heir of the Corton family, leading the rest of the family members to trek to the wasteland.
The charge was an attempted murder by the Earl of Kirton, and the family was deprived of their territory and exiled.
They first took a boat down the river and then hiked into the wasteland. This place is like the horizon in the distance, and there is no hope in sight.
Just re-open your territory in this barren land, restore your family's glory, and take revenge on that Quint?
It's just a joke.
Pusey looked up at the noisy crows in the sky and felt like he had completely lost his soul.
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and then he felt his heart tingle, and his hands loosened the reins weakly, and his vision was rising, facing the group of crows in the sky, and then spun and fell, passing the panicked crowd, the arrows that came at him, and the blood that splattered in all directions, and fell straight down.
Pucci fell to the ground hard, the pain in his chest made it impossible for him to breathe, he gasped for breath rapidly, but it became more and more difficult to breathe in air, he struggled to move his head, his eyes widened, and he reached for a hooded servant woman next to him.
The servant ran to him crying, but then fell, her hood raised, revealing her long blond hair and tearful eyes.
Gina, my sister...... Consciousness dissipated, and Pussi's hand finally fell limply into the dust.
"No!"
Gina let out a scream, even if she was the most famous noble child in Cheburg, Pusi was her own brother and her only relative now, and she couldn't afford to lose him.
"Ho, there's a pretty chick here!"
A rude laugh rang out, and the horse's hooves stepped over and circled around her.
A soldier from the House of Kirton rushed over and raised his sword to protect Miss, but the bandit laughed and swung his hammer to meet him, sending his sword flying with a thud, followed by another blow on the soldier's head, sending him flying.
Gina watched the soldier collapse, she couldn't see her face at all, and she couldn't even scream.
Soldiers were constantly falling to the ground, and as the last guards, they were already few in number, and they were far from being the opponents of these bandits in terms of force, and soon they were all thrown into a pool of blood, and the old, weak, sick and disabled family members were also cut down in half, blood splattered, limbs flew sideways, and the rest shrunk into a ball of trembling, and there were cries everywhere.
It's like a living human purgatory.
There is no mercy, only tyrannical killing.
"Shut up! I'll cut off his head if anyone makes another sound. A bald man armed with a giant axe shouted viciously.
The crowd's cries died down, and Gina got up and shrank back, only to be dragged out by the bandit with the hammer in his hand laughing, and then fell to the ground screaming again.
More than thirty robbers surrounded the crowd, and then a masked man rode slowly into the circle.
The man wore a black lizard-faced mask and an equally black helmet, a hood with a cloak covering his entire head, and a cold, lifeless gaze that scanned the crowd through the holes in the mask's eyes, no different from a corpse on the ground.
"What about the Posie?" he asked.
"It's dead. "It only took one arrow, poof, right in the heart, how the fuck could I shoot so accurately." ”
"That's because you didn't play last night, and your hands don't shake today. The bald man spat on the ground.
"Hey, this girl is good, tsk, take turns tonight, let her taste the taste of commanding the spear barracks. The red-haired bandit looked down at Gina, "Dear Miss, do you know what a spearman means?"
The robbers around them burst out laughing.
Gina curled up, her fingers clutching at the weeds on the ground, her knuckles whitish, and a ring with hidden spikes on her fingers.
"Are you Gina?" the masked man looked down at her.
Gina bowed her head and was silent, tears streaming down her face.
"I didn't expect the Kirton family to have a fish that slipped through the net and came here, an unexpected harvest. The masked man looked up, "You can sell it for a good price." ”
"My lord, is she Kirton's youngest daughter?" shouted the warhammer-wielding man, "It turns out that they have hid here, no wonder they didn't find it when they went to Silverleaf City." ”
"You can play as you please, but don't let her get hurt, or you know the consequences. The masked leader said, "Arrest her." ”
The two robbers smiled lewdly and stepped forward to grab Gina.
"My lord, what about the others?" asked the bald man.
"The younger women and men take them away, and kill all the others. ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Cries rang out from different mouths at the same time, and several horses galloped from behind, approaching quickly.
These bandits from the Misty Mountains had been waiting here for several hours for the Earl of Kirton's team, and Bai Xuan and the others had been galloping without stopping for a moment, and finally rushed over at this time.
The masked leader reined in his horse, turned his head sharply, looked at the horses that were getting closer, and waved his hand slowly.
The bandits all stopped and quickly assembled in front, ready for battle.
The next moment, with a wave of his hand, the masked leader rushed out several horses.
The horses on the opposite side have been galloping, and they don't slow down when they get close, which is obviously an offensive situation, he can't let the opponent rush over like this, and the hedge can eliminate the power brought by the opponent's speed.
There are only a few people, and he can't put it in his eyes.
"Phew!"
The other party came too quickly, and the bandits who rushed out were too bad in momentum after all, and when the two sides were about to meet, they finally let go of the horses, and only one of them collided with the other party.
The horses that collided neighed, and under the impact of the speed, the horse's body could not bear it, and its hind hooves were raised and fell to the ground.
The white knight on the horse swiped his sword in the air and slashed at the opponent in the air.
