The Behemoth of Axavier Chapter 77: A Change of Plan
"How are we going to chase?" the two of them galloped, and Gail asked loudly with his head down.
"I have some special skills, my hearing, sight and smell are much better than normal people, especially when I am deliberately in control. Chi Bone replied.
Gayle was a little surprised by the bone's answer, but then he was relieved, so the perverted body can have it, and these strangeness can be understood.
"Do you smell the robbers, then?" asked Gail.
Chi Bone rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know what a robber smells like?" I have a strong sense of smell, although I can't tell the subtle differences in taste like an animal can. But some special flavors can still be distinguished.
The robbers had just killed someone, and there was blood on their knives and bodies. In the village, the smell of blood on the ground was so strong that I couldn't ask anything.
We're going to have to run five kilometers now, right? I can now faintly smell blood in that direction. Chances are, it's them. ”
Gail nodded in understanding, but there was a burst of envy in his heart, this ability is simply too suitable for tasks, it is simply a humanoid monster dog!
"When we find them, don't be in a hurry, let's observe in secret, don't let them find out. Gail suddenly thought of something, and quickly instructed.
Chi Bone really misses the black-scaled horse that is still in El Xavier, and next time I must ask someone to bring it over, even if I can't keep it myself, I can put it in the legation.
Although under the crotch of the Chi Bone was a war horse with a trace of demonic blood, the Chi Bone and his hand armor were too heavy combined. As a result, the two had to slow down.
At first, they were a little worried that they wouldn't be able to catch up with the robbers. But not only did the smell of blood not abate, but the bones felt closer and closer to them.
Suddenly, the skull slowed the horse's speed, and Gail pulled the reins to slow the horse down.
"What's wrong?"
"The smell of blood is getting stronger, and it should be not far ahead. The skull pursed his nose and took a deep breath and said.
"Dismount, let's sneak over. Gail's eyes flashed, and he jumped off his horse.
The two tied their horses to a tree, then put on their gear and quietly walked in the direction that the bones had guided. After walking less than a kilometer, a village appeared in front of them.
The two of them hid behind a large rock, just enough to completely cover their figures.
At the entrance to the village, two thieves wearing turbans covering their faces stood by. The two men wore improvised half-body armor and had rare scimitars hanging from their waists. The two were chatting, and they could be seen carrying longbows behind their backs.
"It doesn't look like it's an O'Lane, it's like a desert country. You look at the scimitar on their waist, that's why the people over there like to use it. Gail whispered to the bone.
Grassbones had seen their scimitars for a long time, but their cutlass were different from the crescent-shaped scimitars that Grassbones had brought from home.
In the hands of the thieves was a scimitar more than a meter long, which began to curve from the tip to a third of the hilt. Looks more destructive and better suited for slashing.
"By the way, have you ever killed someone? Gail suddenly remembered that he had never asked if the bones had ever killed anyone.
You can't blame him for being confused, I only remembered it now, now that the army is in chaos, the society is not stable, as long as it is a warrior, there are few people who have no life in their hands.
"No, there hasn't been a tribal war in the tribe since I was an adult. But don't worry, I'm mentally prepared for this. ”
Chi Gu said firmly.
"What about you, have you ever killed someone?"
"The first time I killed someone when I was fourteen, it was a bastard who wanted to bully my sister. Gail replied.
"What does that feel like?" asked Cheekbones.
"A bit nauseous and had nightmares for a few days. Gail's answer was lighthearted.
"What are we going to do?" asked Cheekbone.
"What do you think you should do?" Gail asked Silkbone.
"You use a bow and arrow, I use a short spear, one for each of us. It's definitely okay for me to kill one at this distance, but I'm a little worried about you. "Bones are very confident in their throwing skills, but they despise Gail's bow skills.
"Hey, although the running rabbit is a little difficult to aim, I can still shoot the big living person standing still. Hey, don't be scared into peeing your pants after the killing. ”
Gale didn't care about the Bone laughing at his bow skills, but he was a little worried about the young companion's reaction to his first killing.
The bone pursed his lips and did not answer, saying that it was a lie not to be nervous, killing people is not comparable to killing a wild boar wildebeest, it is a creature that can speak and have feelings.
Just as the skull was about to leap and stretch out his right hand to the short spear behind his back, he was suddenly pressed by Gail on the shoulder.
"That's a good idea, but it's not going to work. Can you promise to kill them all at once? If you don't get a single stab in the head or heart, their screams are likely to attract the attention of their accomplices inside.
There are too many of them, and the fight will definitely affect the safety of the villagers. And they are likely to use those villagers as hostages, even if it is not impossible to kill a few of them in anger. Those are inhuman bandits. ”
Gail saw the puzzled look on his face, so he explained softly.
Gail is a kind man, he is not like some mercenaries who never care about the lives of others.
After listening to Gail's explanation, Chi Gu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He never thought that this matter would be so complicated, but luckily the person next to him was Gail, and if he killed a few villagers because of his own reasons, it would definitely make him regret it.
"What then?" said Crusade felt like his head was empty, he had never been in this situation before.
"I'll leave these two to you to solve, and I'll sneak in from the side to see what happens. Now calculate the time, and if I don't come back within five minutes, everything is fine inside.
As soon as the five minutes are up, you can deal with these two people immediately, don't be afraid of making a big noise, and try to attract some people to come over. I'm here to find a way to rescue the villagers.
Remember to be quick, let's meet in the village. ”
Gail explained the plan, and after the two took out their pocket watches and checked the time, Gail quietly left from the side.
Gail tiptoed to the side of the village. The village is not very large, and it looks like there are less than a hundred households. Gale slowly approached the center of the village under the cover of the wall.
Gradually, Gail could faintly hear shouts coming from the village. He crouched behind a low fence, only a meter high, and pulled out a mirror from his backpack behind him.
I saw Gail slowly lift the mirror to find the right angle, and through the mirror, Gail could see that at least two hundred villagers had gathered in a clearing in the center of the village.
Opposite the villagers stood a dozen robbers armed with scimitars and longbows, and a few more were pacing back and forth on their horses, one of whom was yelling loudly at the villagers in a somewhat strange lingua franca.
"Are all the villagers here?" said a guy who looked like a leader on horseback.
"Chief, we have prepared food and money, please take these things and go, why do you want us to come here?" said a middle-aged villager with some panic.
The leader didn't say a word, and his cold eyes moved to the middle-aged villager who spoke.
Before the leader could speak, one of his men slammed his whip on the villager's shoulder. With a scream, the middle-aged villager fell to the ground and convulsed in pain.
"I'm asking you questions, not asking you to ask, remember what I said, or I wouldn't mind having them change the village chief. Now answer my question. The leader said viciously.
"Yes, yes, my lord, they're all here. ”
The whip made the middle-aged man's voice tremble with the pain or fear. Blood was oozing from the torn clothes on his shoulders.
The leader sat on his horse, looked carefully at the trembling villagers who were snuggled together, pointed at the three beautiful women in the crowd with his horsewhip, and then said to his subordinates: "Take these three women with you, and kill those who dare to resist." ”
In the midst of a commotion among the villagers, three beautiful women were dragged out by the robbers. Several relatives who looked like the three women cried out to stop the hateful acts of the robbers, only to be punched and kicked by the robbers.
One of the young men, even though his face was covered in blood, lay on the ground and clung to the shin of a robber.
The robber was not angry, he smiled cruelly, drew the scimitar at his waist, he raised it high above his head, and slashed at the head of the young man lying on the ground.
Seeing that the appointed time had not yet arrived, Gail knew that he could not wait any longer.
He removed the longbow from his back and half-crouched to aim his bow at the bandit who was wielding a scimitar.
Gail had originally wanted to let the bones attract as many robbers as possible, so as to avoid casualties among the villagers as much as possible.
He didn't dare to guarantee how much humanity these robbers would have, and if they killed indiscriminately in the chaos, he alone could not save them.
Gail half-narrowed one eye, and at such a close distance, he was sure that the arrow would hit the robber in the chest. As for what to do after that, I can't care so much about it now.
But at this moment, suddenly a miserable scream sounded at the entrance of the village, and the screams stopped abruptly between the stunned people.
Everyone stopped moving, and the bandits pacing tightened their reins as they looked in the direction from which the screams came.
The leader's brow furrowed between his eyes, and he commanded his subordinates, "Come with me, you will stay and watch them." ”
After saying that, the leader turned over and dismounted, drew his scimitar and walked towards the entrance of the village with a dozen or so men.
Gail was also stunned, not understanding why Chi Gu did it earlier. However, he was secretly relieved, and the bowstring in his hand slowly loosened. secretly said in his heart, I hope Chi Gu can get these people.
Gale could probably guess from the way these men walked that they weren't masters. It seems that the leader should be good, but he doesn't know what his strength is.
However, the ants bite the elephant to death, and the two-on-twenty lineup really makes Gail, who has always been cautious, a little uneasy in his heart.
