Chapter Seventy-Five: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
After leaving Koloel, Ling Qi deliberately sneaked a short distance outside the city, and found that there were no ambushes around, so he beckoned Leo at the city gate to lead the horses over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Horses were prepared by the warden's men, and in Koror they were usually rented and bought, only through the carriage and horse shops in the city, or through the stables outside the south gates.
Although there are four gates in Koloel, only the south gate is the default main gate, and the castle tower is tall and majestic, and the public facilities in the vicinity are also the most complete.
The other three sides have side doors, side doors, and won't even open at night. In this way, some unnecessary garrison resources can also be saved.
This is normal, in the continent of Tamriel, medium-sized cities have one main three sides and four gates, but only the main gate has a tower, and there are people keeping vigil at night.
In some small cities, there are even only two gates, and there is a curfew at night.
There is only one entrance and exit to independent castles and fortresses in the wild, and they are guarded and guarded all night.
Only large, mega cities, such as imperial capitals, will extend in all directions, with gates and towers for people to enter and exit in all directions, and patrols day and night.
On the outskirts of the city, the wilderness is dashing, and the autumn wind is blowing. Ling Qi took a deep breath, his spirit refreshed.
Of course, he didn't know that there was a large group of robbers outside the southern city who were drinking the northwest wind in order to squat at him.
Turning over and jumping on the horse's back, Ling Qi patted the good horse with satisfaction, causing the fool to scream, sneezing and pacing in place.
This horse is eight feet tall at the head and shoulders, nine feet long, strong and powerful limbs, and the tail mane is shiny.
With a shake of the reins, Ling Qi's legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the white horse immediately galloped like lightning.
The cold wind blew in his face, and it made people feel refreshed all over, this feeling was so good, the wind was galloping, he didn't even have time to say hello to Leo, and the centaurs were already more than ten meters away.
Seeing this, Leo hurriedly stepped on the horse's back, not caring about enjoying the night view, and raised his hand and whip to chase after him.
Ling Qi looked back, laughed, no longer controlled the speed, but threw away the reins and returned it to freedom.
He sat upright on the horse, his eyes were hazy, and the old god was there, but the horse didn't get lost at all, and pointed to the destination of this time - the mud cave!
For a while, this man actually had a trace of charm with the wind and horses!
The faint moonlight, the thick clouds, the two fast horses galloping across the wilderness, and some flamboyant voices faintly came.
"Fresh clothes and angry horses are in the wind, the waning moon and the lonely sword break through the enemy group, I wantonly harm the world, why am I afraid to sleep at night?"
This kind of unrestrainedness is called free!
Half an hour later, more than fifty miles from the city, in front of a cave near the river bay, in the woods a few hundred meters away.
Ling Qi flipped off his horse and chased the horse away, not worried that it would run away.
These good horses are specially trained to understand human nature to a certain extent. Unless you encounter a beast, you won't run around.
Even if they are accidentally frightened away by wild beasts and run away, they will automatically find their way back.
Leo, who was nearly 100 meters behind, did not catch up until two breaths later, and dismounted as usual, driving away the equally sturdy brown horse.
He looked at Ling Qi in amazement, his eyes full of amazement.
Wood elves are born with the ability to be friendly with animals, and some talented people can even communicate with animals, although Leo can't reach that level, but relying on the implicit affinity animal ability in the bloodline, the level of the horse is also comparable to that of a formal knight.
It wasn't that Ling Qi had never ridden a horse in front of him before, but he had never shown such superb riding skills, and this level had completely reached the level of a regular knight!
Fortunately, he has the consciousness of being a subordinate, and this is not a good opportunity to ask, they still have something to do, so they can only keep their doubts in mind for the time being.
Under the cover of night, the two slowly approached the bay, and sure enough, a hundred meters away, they saw a dim bonfire burning on the tidal flat.
Approaching quietly, forty or fifty meters away, the two had to stop, and if they got closer, they were likely to be discovered by the enemy in advance. The river beach is flat, and there is a lack of necessary cover!
Ling Qi looked intently, his eyes flickered, and he found that there was no one around the bonfire, but there were many crockpots scattered.
He looked closely, and at the edge of the fire, near the darkness, he saw a robber in rags, and there he was pestle, as if he were keeping watch.
There are also a few pergolas set up by the campfire, I don't know what they are used for.
There are shelves under the pergola with things on them, and the sundries are piled up, but there is no human figure to be seen.
Is there only one sentry?
Such a weak defense force made Ling Qi a little surprised.
He did know that this gang of robbers had a big deal to do tonight, and they would inevitably divide a lot of manpower. This information was provided by the Dark Brotherhood, and the bandit leader received instructions to mention it, so there is no doubt about its credibility. In addition, he didn't go out of the city for a whole day, and he made a look of being ready to go, just to lure the snake out of the hole. Judging by the performance of the watchers outside the mansion, his follow-up plan was at least partially successful, and most of the people outside the city were squatting over him.
Leaving the Moti sisters and brothers in the mansion also had this consideration, using their "movements" to contain the small number of robbers, making them mistakenly think that they were still in the city, so they were suspicious. Of course, this is also to take into account the feelings of the two "friends", after all, Kara has lost most of her combat power, and Morty will not be willing to leave her alone in a strange place.
To sum up, according to Ling Qi's expectations, the garrison of the robbers' lair tonight should be the weakest.
But even so, as a temporary headquarters, the guards shouldn't be so empty!
Smart people are always suspicious, and Ling Qi is also suspicious, but he has one of his biggest advantages, that is, he dares to try!
It doesn't matter if he is an empty city plan, whether there is an ambush behind the city gate, send a thousand soldiers and horses, and fight again!
No conspiracy can stop the big fist of the casserole, if you are afraid of falling for someone else's tricks, why not test it a little within the scope of the allowable loss?
Thinking of it, Ling Qi made a gesture, and a silent cold arrow immediately flew out from behind him.
Thump!
The sentinel fell in response, and he immediately drew his weapon to put on guard, but he didn't wait for the hidden killing machine!
Okay! Great! Sure enough, I'm too worried!
He didn't want to be smart, but he missed the opportunity, and immediately approached with Leo.
"Hiccup~Little Green?Little Green!Let you keep sentry!What the are you doing?"
"Squeak~"
A wooden door hidden at the entrance to the cave was pushed open, and a lean middle-aged man emerged from behind the door. This man had obviously drunk a lot of alcohol, and he was still sleepy-eyed at this time, and it was hard for him to hear the noise outside, and it was estimated that Ben was also one of the night watchmen.
It's a pity that he was greeted not by the ridicule of his companions, but by a bloody butcher's knife!
