Chapter 160: Escape (1)

See the undead!

How can there be a magician in a small farm?

Almost all the thieves were stunned...... For warriors, there are only two ways to deal with magicians, one is to crush them with absolute strength; The other is to use crowd tactics to disappear the opponent's magic.

Either of these methods is undesirable for thieves. Although they can all be called warriors, they don't have great strength, even Hemingway. Peck is no more than a knight with two rings in bronze; As for the will, it's even more nonsense, what the thieves believe in is 'freedom' and 'chaos', and it's just a joke to let them die.

"Retreat!"

Relying on the robustness and agility of the mount, Hemingway. Peck dodged the first wave of magic and gave the order to retreat. However, just as he was giving the order, a bang came from in front of him, and the mount let out a terrible scream, and in an instant he felt a strong vibration in his body, as if the sharp pain that tore his soul out of his body made him confused for a moment...... Before consciousness completely vanished, he saw his mount buddies split into dozens of pieces of various sizes, splashes of blood soaking his vision!

"No!" He exerted the last of his strength and let out a desperate scream.

Hathaway, after unleashing a Fire and Wind meteor spell, instructed Stilwell. Ponson went to get the thief who was clearly the ringleader...... He had a keen interest in the griffon's rider.

That person is supposed to be the key figure among the thieves, and may be able to torture some useful information. He wasn't sure if the thief would survive the clawed horse's share of the magical impact.

The leader fell from his horse, and the remaining thieves immediately collapsed, but when they were about to escape, they found a group of teenagers armed with guns and shields, and they didn't know when they had blocked their escape path.

Rumble!

A magical fireball slammed into one of the thieves, and in a terrible scream, he turned into a humanoid torch, and his companions moved away from him. Dismounted and surrendered amid the shouting of the teenagers. The boys tied the thieves who had surrendered with ropes. There were also sixteen intact clawed horses, and although these fellows were not very honest, they were not very tossed after seeing their masters tied up. Honestly tethered to a pillar.

There are several buildings in the courtyard that emit black smoke. It was hit by a stray arrow. The fire was not big and was immediately extinguished, but it was the captives who attracted the attention of most people. Occasionally, in the open space in front of the estate, the miserable cries of some wounded thieves could be heard, and Hathaway was clearly not interested in treating them.

**************

When several scarred thieves returned to the cottage on horses with equally wolf claws, the great leader of the bandits, Rieser. Wig's eyes were straight, and his chin hadn't closed for a long time, as if he had become a standing log.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

He grabbed a thief whose face was covered in blood, and he didn't know whether it was anger or the blood that had been splattered on it, making his face look surprisingly red, and he roared at the thief, splattering his saliva on the hapless fellow's face.

However, the thief was strangled with half his life, and he didn't even have the strength to wipe his saliva, so he had to wait for Reese. Wig himself just calmed down.

This time was not short until Rieser. Wigg turned and walked to his seat and sat down, his breathing rate still a little loose as he tapped his fingers on the armrest.

The blood-drenched reality was in front of him, a cavalry regiment of nearly a hundred clawed horses was almost completely wiped out, and he could only accept this fact.

"Boss, let's gather our brothers down the mountain now to take revenge!" Several thieves who had just disembarked from their claws dragged their bloodied horses and crawled in front of him, howling and crying.

"Shut up."

As the leader, although Reese. Wigg was saddened by his loss, but he was very calm, and although he was extremely angry, he was still able to make a relatively reliable decision: "Immediately organize the fortifications and prepare for defense." ”

"Boss, they shouldn't have the power to invade."

A bloodied thief protested: "They only have some teenagers, and they only won by defense, and if we all go out, we will definitely be able to kill them!" We also have more than 300 brothers in full armour! ”

"Oh? Kill them? How to get rid of it? ”

Reese. Wigg sneered, "Those teenagers were able to make you suffer such a terrible defeat, and what about the magician?" ”

“……”

The thieves who had returned from their homes were silent, but their weeping did not stop, Reese. Wig held back the anger in his heart and began to think about the future.

This operation was due to the fact that he had accepted the employment of certain nobles. The cooperation between thieves and nobles is already an extremely dangerous game, and both sides only want to get benefits after all, but the power is obviously unequal.

The thieves were able to take advantage of the geographical advantage against the nobles, and they could also use various methods to make the local bureaucrats jealous, but if the lords of the place really had strong capital, they would not have a good way, so they would cooperate with the nobles to find a way to expel the lords.

Reese. Wig waved his hand: "Send a few messengers to inform those guys and have a party to discuss." Send two people to contact the south and see if you can get a group of mercenaries. ”

It's not just them in the mountains, there are other forces, if the claw horse cavalry regiment has no losses, he has the confidence not to cooperate with those thieves, but now...... He has to deal with a crisis that may come at any time, and with his power alone, it is inevitably a little more risky.

"Yes." A nearby thief answered, recording all orders.

"Magician......" Reese. Wigg stroked his stubble, his eyes flickering: "I want to see what they are capable of, by the way, have the hostages been sent?" ”

"It was just delivered yesterday."

"Very well, as long as they are in our hands, the lord will be tormented as if he was sitting on the fire." Reese. Wig smiled, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his voice was raised: "I want those nobles to send more money to make up for the loss of the Claw Horse Cavalry Regiment!" ”

Only Reese. Wigg himself knew that his palms were full of sweat at this time...... He remembered the mighty bandof thieves who had been wiped out by Cassef's army four years earlier, and though they had not been wiped out until the end - and even nearly half of the backbone had survived, they were quickly wiped out, as the bands of thieves who had previously belonged to him took advantage of its weakness to plunder.

This is the consequence of falling from the top.

And what about yourself?

What will happen if you can't cope with the current crisis?

For a long time, Reese. Wigg snorted coldly, stroking the scar on his forehead, recalling the bloody years when he fought for power.

The power built by blood can only be seized with blood, and it is nothing more than a matter of life.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the scar became more and more hideous.

……

In a courtyard in the southwest corner of the cottage, there were more than twenty children, the oldest of whom was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, all of them tremblingly looking at a sturdy thief standing in front of them. Horn's.

"You little monkeys, hear clearly, this is a cottage, not your backyard. If anyone dares to disobey and leave this courtyard without permission, the result will be the same as him! Those who commit two crimes in a row are chopped up as feed! The thief pointed at Pab with a lively look. Horne.

With that, the thief walked out of the courtyard and closed the courtyard door with a bang.

After a sound of iron locks, this place was cut off from the outside world, and the pale children on the ground began to cry, calling for their fathers and mothers...... These children are not very old, they are physically strong, especially the clothes and fabrics are quite elegant, and they are obviously from good births. They were the children of thieves who had taken them from merchants or local nobles. Although the hostages were exchanged for ransom, the ultimate goal was to create chaos in the Cordillera Territory and make the people lose confidence in the new lord.

"Cry! Cry what cry, quick, put me down. "Babu tied to a tree. Horn winked at the children on the ground.

"But the grown-ups are going to be angry!" A little fat man said with his fingers in his mouth.

"My lord? Meet the undead! They are robbers. "Babo. Horn said with a pained look on his face, "Oh, I'm almost strangled into a tree." ”

"We'll let you go right away." After all, these children still did not want to watch their companion suffer, and they all let him go.

"This damn bandit." Babo. Horn rubbed the rope in pain.

"Hey! Bob, be honest this time, run away next time, but you'll be fed to those clawed horses! The little fat man continued, only to be met by Pab. Horn's sarcasm: "You think they'll be able to offer you up without running away?" ”

"Humph! As long as my father brings the ransom, they will let us go. "The little fat man is a very confident person.

"This time may be different, they don't seem to be talking about the ransom at all." Babo. Horn waved to the children, "We must run." ”

"You're here again!" The little fat man exclaimed, "They're going to kill you this time." ”

"It's a dead end to stay here, or you become a thief, they don't plan to talk about ransom at all, I've heard it with my own ears!"

Babo. Horn waved his fist at his companions and said loudly, "Brothers, would you rather be killed honestly, or do you want to be one of the thieves in the future?" (To be continued......)
