It was already two o'clock in the morning, and the nocturnal animal hunt in the forest had ended, some returned with a full load, some returned disappointed, and all began to rest without exception, only then was the forest the quietest.

The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, and tomorrow must be a good day.

In a corner of the woods, it's a particularly lively day.

The whole body of the gutter nose was surrounded by bats, and he couldn't shake it off, crying out in horror and despair.

These bats are really unscrupulous, I thought they would only sneak attack, but it turned out that they hunted for food more ferocious than tigers.

Yi Tiezhen and Sha Lin ran over quickly, only to see that everyone did not dare to move forward, and a few people's horses ran into the forest in a panic, and they were also stunned, not afraid, but did not know what to do, with a strong one will definitely hurt people, and there is no way to drive away without weapons.

The man struggled in pain for a few moments, then fell to the ground, never moving again.

The bats seemed to be unsatisfied, and they were bound to have enough to eat tonight before leaving, and then pounced on another prey.

Another scream, a soldier, a life.

Yi Tiezhen regained his senses, skillfully fired crossbow arrows, and hit the bats one after another, and the soldiers began to fight back, and the bats fell off from the body layer by layer, but the huge number was of no avail, they ate one after another hungryly, the soldiers panicked, and some simply fled on horseback.

Seeing that the soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, and the arrows in their hands were also bottoming out, the well-fed bats continued to fight back, and they were about to surround him, at this time, Sharon waved his double knives and walked to him: "Tie Zhen, let's retreat quickly." ”

Yi Tejin was a little reluctant and took out a scimitar, swung it into the air, and the knife was killed, gradually opening up a path.

Sharon: "Oh no, there's another batch of bats." ”

At this moment, the sky was black and oppressive, obscuring the moonlight like a dark cloud.

"Sharon, I'll cover, you go quickly. ”

Red Dragon and Snow Leopard were also attacked by bats, and with their excellent explosive power, they broke through the siege, and Sharon had a chance to escape but did not leave, and fought back to back with Yi Tiezhen in the final fight.

They were already surrounded by bats, presumably their lives were short, they didn't want to die in vain, they brandished their big knives like crazy, and then the forest brightened, and a little fire fell from the sky, and rockets illuminated the earth, like a flame of hope, burning more and more, bringing a turnaround.

Bats are most afraid of light, especially firelight, and they scatter all at once, run away, and disappear into the night sky.

Yi Tiezhen's knife slowly left black blood on the back, and his body was also stained with the smell of blood, he hadn't changed yet, and he was still murderous.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves, and the light was getting closer and closer.

"Tie Zhen, you're okay. ”

The person who spoke was wearing a fur hat, a white mutton fat jade in the middle, slightly revealing white sideburns, a few shallow wrinkles on the old face, his eyes were still bright, thick lips, and a hoarse voice.

"Elder Scotton, why are you here? ”

This person is the former captain of the Vulcan Battalion in Heyin Village, after giving way to Yi Tiezhen, he became the elder of the village, because he doesn't like politics, he never participates in politics, but he is just a false name, and he is used to living in a simple place, and he rarely meets him.

Scotton: "You're still the same, still so reckless. ”

Yi Tiezhen, who had never been convinced, instantly lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look at him directly.

Scoton continued, "But I just like your character, a soldier, you should have this bit of blood. After that, he looked at Tie Zhen with relief.

At this time, Scotton's face suddenly changed, and he waved his hand behind him without even looking back, and the crowd made a way out of the way, and familiar faces were crying and mourning, and they were pushed out, these people were the people who had escaped just now.

The piercing eyes swept gently towards them, and the legs of the men trembled, and some even peed their pants, and he asked word by word in his hoarse voice, "What should the escapees do?" ”

Those people all knelt down with a "poof" and begged for mercy in unison.

Sharon: "Guilty should be beheaded." ”

Scoton went on to ask: "What about abandoning the manager?"

Sharon: "Five horses split up." ”

As soon as these words came out, most of them had passed out.

Scotton didn't even look at it, and waved his hand, "Let them die away, don't get my eyes dirty." ”

Yi Tiezhen: "Stop, I have something to say." ”

The soldiers looked at him with pleading eyes.

Scoton: "Are you going to intercede for them?"

Yi Tejin: "Yes. ”

Sharon: "Are you crazy, why do you want to intercede for them." ”

Scotton: "Do you know the consequences of intercession?"

Yi Tetsujin: "Yes. ”

Scotton: "Do you know that you are still pleading for mercy, and are you not afraid of the ruthlessness of the military stick?"

Sharon hurriedly interjected: "He was confused for a while, I will persuade him again." ”

Yi Tiezhen was not suppressing his emotions, and ordered loudly without warning: "The captain of the Vulcan Battalion is now me, and I have the final say here, no one wants to move my soldiers." ”

Those soldiers who escaped really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, even if they didn't kill them, they didn't have the face to proudly admit that they were soldiers of the Vulcan Battalion, and they didn't have the face to face Yi Tiezhen again.

Deserter: "My lord, we deserve to die for our crimes, and we ask for military justice." ”

Yi Tiezhen: "You are willing to risk your life to break into the mysterious forest for my personal affairs, which is the greatest trust in me, but I failed to protect everyone, I can only watch them sacrifice, I am useless, I am the only sinner today, and I will be punished and punished." ”

Although Scotton doesn't like politics, he understands the sophistication of people, how can he really want to kill them, where is there a rule if he doesn't establish military authority: "The capital crime can be avoided, each person has a military staff of 50, and after returning to the village, he will be removed from the military and never hired." ”

He looked at Yi Tiezhen and asked softly, "How, my lord?"

Yi Tiezhen smiled awkwardly: "Listen to you." ”

Scotton: "You kid, you've really grown up now, and you've improved a lot in your ability to change your face." ”

Since they were hiring, they did not punish them immediately, but chose to have a demerit, and after returning to the village, they lit torches, set up tents, and slept peacefully all night.

Their journey has only just begun, and what tomorrow will hold ...
