When Peake woke up, it was already noon the next day, and he tried to remember what happened yesterday, but when he recalled that after Zhu Tian walked into the old pastor's bedroom, he couldn't remember what happened after that.

Lying on his bed, Peake's eyes widened, making the last attempt, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall that fragment in his mind, and when he asked Zhu Tian in his heart that day, he only got a vague answer, but Zhu Tian told him one thing for sure: "Your father's death is related to the mayor." ”

The matter was confirmed by the old priest, and in what manner Peake did not know.

Just now Ryder came once and asked him to fetch some Sandy wood back, saying that there was no wood to make walking sticks at home, and that he planned to let Dolly be the boss and run the carpenter shop for a while, Peake quickly understood Ryder's approach, because he and Ryder were really not good at coming forward, after all, there were still two wanted notices hanging in the central square.

After getting dressed, Peake came to Big Blackfoot and said to him, "Blackfoot, we need to go and fetch some Sandy wood today, and then go home and make it into a cane and sell it for money." ”

When Big Blackfoot heard that it was to work, he reluctantly followed Pique out the door.

Heading north, they were already familiar with the road, and without Pictor talking nonsense, Big Blackfoot could find the direction by himself, and soon, they came to the hunter's courtyard.

As soon as he arrived, Peake was shocked to find that the sandy wood planted at the back of the house had grown to the height of five or six meters, far more than the height of the house.

When I looked closer, I saw that the trunk of the Sandy tree was straight, and the seven or eight forks were also growing straight and diagonally upward, and the higher they went, the shorter the branches became, and on the whole it looked like a huge triangular cheese. Why did it look like cheese, because the leaves were a dazzling golden yellow, a kind of gourd-shaped leaves, and Peake looked closely, and saw that in the densest places of the leaves there were thumb-sized fruits, which were full and clear, and looked very attractive.

Peake knew that the gourd-shaped fruit was the seed of the Sandy tree, and Agareth had told him that if he collected the seeds and sowed them, he would get a Sandy forest in a month!

It can grow in a month! This is something that no other tree species can do!

As a simple carpenter, Peake knows that the seeds of the Sandy tree are treasures!

With those seeds, you have a Sandy Grove! You have a lot of Sandy Tree wood! You have a lot of copper coins!

Thinking of this, Pique's mood was instantly happy. But the next scene made his happy mood disappear without a trace in an instant.

I saw that in the flat wilderness, several dark horses appeared!

Riding those black horses were a group of fierce warriors dressed in leather clothes and leather armor! I saw that those warriors had all kinds of weapons in their hands, including short spears, spears, and common weapons such as bows, arrows, and axes.

From afar, Peake watched as they galloped towards them, not at ordinary speed.

Just as Pique saw them, they saw Pique.

I saw that one of them didn't say a word, and began to draw his bow and arrows!

Sou!

A feathered arrow hit ...... accurately On the Sandy tree next to Pique, the Sandy tree had a hard skin, and it bounced off the flying feather arrow.

？？？

Horse thief!

These two words instantly popped into Pique's mind! Without waiting for the samurai on the dark horse to run closer, Pique was already very sure that they were horse thieves!

At first, Pique was suspicious, but based on their barbaric behavior, if Pique couldn't see it, he would really be a fool.

In fact, Peace Town is not as peaceful as its name suggests, and almost every year, a more or less contingent of horse thieves comes to Peace Town. The last time the horse thieves entered the peaceful town, they not only robbed a lot of money, but also created a small-scale massacre, until later, the Kingdom soldiers of the garrison reacted that the horse thieves had fled!

Peake remembers the worst year of the horse thief plague, when his grandfather took him and Ryder into the basement for a week before daring to come out, and for the last two days of that week, he and Ryder were already hallucinating from hunger.

There were thousands of horse thieves on that occasion, and almost overnight, they ransacked half of the peaceful town!

The combined population of the entire peaceful town is not 5,000 people, and it is impossible to resist the horse thieves who can already be called an army.

Then the horse thieves were so wild that they came for three or four days in a row, so much so that they hid in the cellar for a long time before they dared to come out.

Since then, a name, Sisoo, has forever become a nightmare for peaceful towns.

The man who commanded the bandit was called Sisoo.

As for what that Sisoo looked like, it is unknown whether it was an Odin or a Yodelman, and I heard that all the civilians who saw Sisoo were dead......

Later, news came from other cities that Sisoo had robbed not only the town of Peace, but also several small cities in the north!

Even if it is a small city, it will be guarded by a large number of Kingdom soldiers.

The soldiers of the Kingdom are different from the guards in the Garrison of the Peaceful Town, in contrast, they have received strict and formal training, are equipped with weapons of the Kingdom standard, and have a certain combat effectiveness.

Like ordinary villages and towns, Heping Town has its own garrison office, of course, there are some Kingdom soldiers in the garrison, but there are only a few official Kingdom soldiers, and most of the other garrisons are part-time farmers......

The defensive strength of the peaceful town can be imagined.

To be able to rob a small city of horse thieves to patronize the town of peace is nothing short of a disaster!

The fact that the barren town of Peace Town can be patronized by Sisoo has become a hot topic of discussion for a while.

What's more worth mentioning is that summer is the most active season for horse thieves, and some people say that just three years ago, in the summer, Sisoo directly slaughtered a village of 100 people! After this matter reached the royal capital, His Majesty the King was furious and directly sent the Knight of Light to chase and kill.

Amazingly, just after the royal capital sent the Knight of Light, the horse thief Sisoo disappeared!

The news of the Knight of Light's return in vain spread throughout the continent, and for a while, the name of Sisoo resounded throughout the kingdom, and it was directly ranked first on the wanted list!

And an even more bizarre legend spreads, in which the horse thief Sisoo was a demon, with demonic horns on his head!

Of course, there are many more legends about Sisoo, but the only one that is widely circulated is the legend about the demon.

In terms of the size of the horse thieves, most of the horse thieves will only have more than ten horse thieves, they belong to the small horse thief group, generally speaking, the small horse thief group will not pose a threat to a large village and town, as long as everyone unites, it is still easy to be prepared.

But I don't know what's going on in recent years, there has been a large number of horse thieves, even those pony thieves can have forty or fifty people, and those larger horse thieves are like an army, with the size of hundreds of people!

......

Pique looked from afar, and saw a large number of black shadows rushing up from under the horizon!

The people in front of them are just opening the way!

There's a big army in the back!

Looking at it roughly, not counting the few people who opened the road in front, just looking at the large army behind, Pique probably had a judgment in his heart.

There were about fifty or sixty people!

Of course, there may be more to come!

This time, it's likely to be a medium-sized or large team of horse thieves!

If you encounter a large team of horse thieves, the only hope for the town is that everyone can learn the news in advance and unite to take precautions, otherwise, it is impossible to defend the entire town with the dozens of people in the garrison alone, and the guerrilla tactics of the horse thieves alone can turn those fools in the garrison around.

Peake's heart was praying, praying that the cavalry who were encircling the Timberwolves would not leave!

Yes, the old priest resurrected not only Hasja and the civilians of the town, he also resurrected those cavalry!

Pique recalled the scene he saw when Zhu Tian occupied his body, and he could deduce this...... And what he didn't know was that those cavalry had long since left the town of Peace.

The Horse Thieves are coming from north to south, and they will inevitably pass through the town of Peace!

Pique is almost certain that their goal is the town of peace!

He must go back and warn the people of the town!

Run!

By the time he got back on Big Blackfoot, Pique could hear the sound of horses' hooves on the ground. Even! Peake saw three or four more horse thieves raising their longbows, and the arrows were aimed at him!

"Run, Big Blackfoot, Run!"

Big Blackfoot had been trying to run for a long time, but Peake had to pick a few Sandy tree seeds.

Sou!

Another feathered arrow flew in, this time almost grazing Pique's hat!

Suddenly, Pique broke out in a cold sweat.

A month ago, he was hunted by the Knight of Light here, and a month later, he will be hunted by horse thieves?

Even more tragic was the Big Black Feet, which was running with wild steps, foaming at the mouth, and running with all his might, if it weren't for the fact that he was different from the other donkeys, and the horse thieves were pulled farther and farther away by the Big Black Feet, and at first there were a few feathered arrows flying in, and then, Pique didn't have to look back all the time, because the Big Black Feet had run out of their range!

This is a donkey that can run faster than a horse!

Pique couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that Big Black Feet didn't steal his eggs in vain when he was a child!

However, just as Peake was secretly rejoicing, he saw seven or eight more horse thieves appear in front of him!
