When the order was finished, and while the crowd was shouting and cheering in a low voice, and looking for a suitable place to sit and rest, he and Theseus also rode into the woods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The small shade in the woods immediately cooled them. The two dismounted, and Hughes grabbed the water bag and threw it into his mouth.

"Don't do this, young master!" Nalco grabbed the young master's hand and pulled the water bag down, "When you are about to fight, you have to drink water and eat slowly. Water should be drunk slowly, and not too much, no matter how thirsty you are, you can only drink three or five large sips, this is the limit. The food should be chewed all so finely that it becomes a batter-like thing before it can be swallowed. ”

Nalco's rich experience in marching had already impressed Theseus. This time, although his actions as a guard were quite impolite, Xius didn't care much during the march and asked Nalco directly for the reason.

"Stomach," Nalco gestured with his hand, "here, during strenuous exercise, the stomach will shake in the stomach, especially if there is still undigested food and water in the stomach. Think about it, you're running, and your stomach is never calm, tossing and turning...... Master, you can imagine how uncomfortable that feeling was. Although this is only a small section, the details are not done well, and the same distraction affects combat effectiveness, which ultimately leads to defeat. As for what will happen after the defeat, the young master ......".

"It's death!" said Hughes with a smile, "I understand very well, well, I'll listen to you." Hughes began to drink water in the same way as Nalco, and ate another piece of jerky, and in the same way chewed slowly, savoring the two situations, and there was indeed a difference.

Nalco smiled and nodded, and stopped talking, and the forest was silent again after a moment.

After a while, the sentry who had been sent out from the other side of the forest hurried back, nervously and unconsciously lowered his voice and reported: "Lord Ram is running back, but he is followed by two people, both on horseback. ”

Nalco stood up and shouted, "Order, prepare for battle, everyone hide nearby, don't let people see you at a glance, archers keep an eye out for hiding in the trees." Five men with forks came out on each side, staggered to stand, and as soon as Lord Ram passed, they threw their forks at the other two, and the rest of them were ready to fork the fool off the horse!

Hughes tightened the straps of his clothes, drew his steel sword from his horse, and hid behind a boulder, his eyes fixed on the way he came. Through the sparse forest, he could already see the yellow dust rising from the road ahead.

Nalco came to Theseus's side and commanded urgently: "Don't confront the thieves head-on, the power of the horse's impact is not something that a junior swordsman can stop." When they get knocked down by the forks, we'll attack again to reduce the casualties of the villagers, understand!"

"Understood, sir!" said Theseus, nodding heavily.

As he spoke, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves reached the ears of the two Hughes. Narf nodded at Hughus, and about two meters in front of him, found a slightly smaller stone, and hid behind it. He was still a little worried, for fear that the young master would rush out on impulse. If necessary, he would forcibly suppress Xiusi's movements, even if it was a serious offense.

Ram rushed into the woods with one horse and one horse, and before he could come in, he shouted urgently: "Lisa is riding fast away, there are two thieves!"

Hughes was stunned for a moment, and in an instant understood Ram's intentions. He had an idea, and suddenly ran back, and pulled the reins of his horse fiercely, and struck two more swords on the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed in pain, struggled and raised its hooves, and immediately a cloud of dust flew into the sky.

Ram was rushing over, slowing down a little and giving a thumbs up to Hughes as he was running back! Hughes smiled and hid his body again.

Sure enough, Ram's cries and the neighing of horses in the woods significantly lowered the vigilance of the thieves who were chasing them, and they even laughed and rushed over at an accelerated pace, with a sound of shouting in their mouths.

"Boy, you can't run, people and horses are mine today. Jack, luck today, it looks like we're going to make a small fortune!" the horse thief who was chasing ahead laughed and cursed.

The moment they rushed into the woods, the thief's gaze suddenly straightened, and he wanted to scream in terror for a moment, but it was too late......

"Order~Throw!" Nalco jumped on the stone and roared loudly, and between the lightning and flint, seven or eight steel forks flashed cold light and flew towards the thief, and after two screams, the two unlucky eggs were all beaten down. But the wounded ones still didn't give up, and crawled up while wailing in pain, still trying to take up arms and organize resistance.

Nalco quickly stepped forward, slashed the wrist of the thief who was trying to touch the sword, and then turned and put the blood-stained blade on the neck of another guy who had been pierced by a steel fork on the left side of his lower abdomen.

"Cut off your head if you scream again!" said Theseus, sinisterly roaring at the thief under his sword. His face was red, and his expression was excited!

The surrounding peasants also gathered around, their faces blood-red, as if they could not believe that these two vicious fellows had been pierced by the steel forks they used to fork the grass.

Hughes also saw that several young farmers were shaking their steel forks, and they couldn't help but pout.

When the situation was basically stable, Nalco gestured to Ram, who had returned. Ram nodded, reached out and took a few steel forks from the farmers' hands, and thrust them into the limbs of the wounded thieves one by one. After a few screams of terror, the limbs of the two thieves were completely stuck on the ground, unable to move.

The thief with the severed hand begged for mercy in a terrified voice, "Don't kill me!" Who are you? I will give you all the money I have on my body, if you want it, and the money bag is on horseback, and there are twenty-three gold coins!"

The other guy with an injury to his lower abdomen was stiff, his pale face kept twitching, but he didn't scream, he just gritted his teeth and held it up, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Nalko raised his sword and put it on the other side of the severed hand thief, and spat out a cold voice that made the other party despair: "Tell me how many of you there are, what rank they are, where do you come from, and where are the rest of you?" Listen, I want to tell the truth! If I hear a lie, I will chop off one of your arms, and then my legs, and you will have three more chances, and the fourth time, I will cut off your head!"

"I can't say it, if I say it, the boss will kill you!" the thief next to him suddenly roared, his face stained with blood and loess was extremely hideous!

Nalco looked up to the sky and sneered, and in the blink of an eye, he stared at the die-hard guy again, and word by word burst out of his mouth: "Idiot, don't you see how many of us there are? To tell you the truth, we are here to destroy you today! Look clearly at the insignia of the sword in my hand!"

"Noble!" the die-hard thief was stunned for a moment at first, and then an even more vicious and resentful expression appeared on his face, he spat bloody phlegm on the ground, and roared again: "Kill me, greedy and vicious dog nobleman, you don't want anything from me!

Suddenly, the wild laughter stopped abruptly, because suddenly and inexplicably angry Xius cut off his head with a sword! Turning around, Xius, whose face was as heavy as water, looked at the severed hand thief on the other side who was completely stunned.

Almost the next moment, the severed hand thief screamed fiercely, desperately struggling to escape from the steel fork bondage, the blood in the severed arm spilled all over the ground, and the smell of blood in the forest was so strong that it made people vomit.

"My father told me that anyone who resents the nobles must be killed, without exception!" Theseus gritted his teeth and slowly raised his sword, "but if you tell me what I want to know, I will give you a good deal and bury your body! Besides, I suppose there are still some animals in this area who like fresh flesh!"

The light in the captive's eyes dimmed with the words of Theseus, and he trembled and swallowed several degrees of saliva before he struggled to agree: "Okay! There will always be such a day when you are a thief, I say! It seems that you are a nobleman, and I hope that you will keep your promise and let me die a dignified death!"

Theseus nodded expressionlessly!

At this point, the focused Theseus didn't notice that neither the onlooker farmer, nor Ram, nor Nalco, were staring at him in shock. Most of the farmers were even frightened, and they involuntarily slowly retreated. Ram's face gradually showed an expression of awe. Only Nalco had an uncertain complexion, and his eyes flashed with mixed joy.

Hughes did not pay attention to the situation around him. At this moment, his chest was filled with a strange feeling of killing, which seemed to be excited, and it seemed to be refreshing...... Anyway, although Theseus's mind had faintly sensed some uneasiness, for a while, he still couldn't take the initiative to get out of this state of mind. The smell of blood that permeated the space was like a catalyst, pushing him deeper and deeper into that strange feeling.

"I'm done... That's it... Keep your word... Noble boy!" beads of sweat rolled down the face of the thief with a broken hand, his face was blue, his lips were white, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were dull, and the strands of his messy hair were sticky with sweat sticking to all parts of his head and face, his body was constantly shaking, and even the muscles in some parts began to twitch.

Hughes silently recalled, feeling that all the questions he wanted to know had been asked, and nodded at the thief who had a loud "drink, drink" in his throat. The thief's expectant eyes lit up and then dimmed again until he was gone—and Theseus had cut off his head cleanly. Unlike the blood splashed when he was beheaded before, because his wrist was cut off, the thief's blood had already lost a lot, and even if Xiusi didn't cut it, the other party would definitely not be able to last for a while.

"Nobles, they will not forgive the haters, but keep their promises!" said Theseus, taking a deep breath and whispering to the dead.

Nalco watched the whole process of Hughes from killing one person to killing two, his brows furrowed together, he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything, only an unspeakable worry churned in his chest, which made him inexplicably irritable.

"Hughes, Ram, Charles, the three of you come with me, and the others continue to rest. Nalco finally put down his boredom and began to fulfill his responsibilities as a leader. Although the name is not right, the most abundant experience and the most real courage make him the only choice for this position. Neither the largest number of villagers, nor Hus and Ram, had any objection to this.

The four of them formed a circle, and Nalco found a long branch and drew it on the ground. Soon, a rough topographic map appeared on the ground.

Nalco looked up slightly to observe the expressions of the three of them, and then began to analyze the situation on the battlefield: "Guys, this is the place where the thieves gather, it is quite open, there are no fences or earthen walls, it is completely a bare terrace and a few large tents, what does this mean? ”

Hughes curled his right index finger and rubbed his upper lip, where a thin beard was already growing. After a moment of thought, he looked up and elaborated on his opinion: "I can only think of a vague answer, and they seem... Seems to be ready to leave at any moment?"

Looking at Hughes' inquiring gaze towards him, Nalco smiled and applauded lightly: "Hughes, in the absence of experience support, you answered very well. Ladies and gentlemen, it is true that they have horses, that the terrain is slightly higher, that they are open and flat, and that their dwellings are only a few tents -- all the conveniences are for the early detection of the enemy and the quick escape. In this case, if you have attended a warrior academy, you will know that in a beginner tactics class, this is a typical weak guerrilla tactic. Of course, the situation now is not exactly the same as in the books, just a similar behavior. But usually, thieves and small armies are very fond of this tactic. ”

Nalco observed the expressions of the three of them as he spoke, and saw that everyone was in a thoughtful state, especially Hughes and Ram, who had joy on their faces, and obviously had something gained, he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but continued to tell, "Then from this situation, we can deduce that this group of people is not strong, but their action is excellent, combined with their identity as thieves, we can know that they are the kind of little thieves who can rob and rob and run." In our province, this kind of garbage theft is the most common and the easiest to solve!"

"Then we'll rush straight up and kill them!Oh, no, their main force has robbed and is not here now!hehe~" Ram suddenly interjected, and then reacted again, scratching his hair embarrassedly, hehehe, laughing.

This little episode suddenly relaxed the somewhat serious atmosphere between the people, and Theseus also laughed, but Nalco suddenly reached out and wiped the left corner of his mouth. Hughes was startled, and was glaring at the other party to speak, but found that the other party was smiling nonchalantly, and there was a small red soft strip on his finger, which still smelled fishy......

"That's ...... ......The next moment, Xius immediately understood what it was, and then thinking about the origin of the thing and the location just now, Xius turned around and ran away, holding on to a tree and vomiting.

Recalling the chilling performance of Hughes before, and looking at his current miserable appearance, Nalco couldn't help but look at Ram, and then laughed.

It was a long time, when Theseus had vomited all the contents of his stomach and could no longer vomit anything, that he wiped his mouth and staggered back. The three people next to them all noticed that their venerable Young Master Xiusi's face was extremely pale and extremely ugly.

"Nalco, since you just took it and threw it away, why do you want to show me!" Xius was not small, and stared at his middle-aged guard fiercely.

Nalco smiled: "Don't mind, young master, you always have to come into contact, today is just the beginning." When I was on the battlefield, I drank even human blood, which was nothing at all. ”
