Chapter 162: Extermination

The whole hillside seemed to have been ravaged by a big foot, the grass broke the trees, and the most terrible thing was that dozens of corpses were lying on the hillside, each of which was burned like charcoal, and the weapons were thrown to the ground, and six or seven long-haired hounds, a local specialty, gathered together and let out a low cry of terror, as if frightened by the sudden change, and the air was filled with a foul smell of burning.

"Wow!"

This time not only did someone pee, but someone vomited, even if it was Babo. Horn also felt a wave of nausea, but he repeatedly told himself to persevere...... If you vomit when you see a dead person now, how can you go to the battlefield and become a powerful warrior in the future?

So, he forced his discomfort to divert his attention and looked into the air...... Dozens of huge white birds of prey flew in mid-air, and there seemed to be people on them.

"Look! It's the Flying Knight! ”

It's not just Babo. Horn saw that another teenager also pointed to the sky and shouted, and the children's eyes were all on the birds in mid-air.

The birds in the sky slowly landed, and the wind from the wings stirred up the dust on the ground into a whirlpool, but fortunately, their strength was well controlled, and they did not make a scene of dust. However, when the children saw the hideous appearance of those giant birds, they involuntarily took a few steps back and looked at them with some awe...... Rather the knights who ignored them.

"I've seen you......" Babo. Horn exclaimed suddenly.

On the back of the bird at the front, sat the young magician he had seen more than ten days ago, but he still didn't know her name. So the sound of the boy came to an abrupt end.

Hathaway smiled and looked at the somewhat wolfish teenager in front of her, "I remember you too, Babo. Horn: Right? ”

"Yes, Honorable Magician!" Babo. Horn replied respectfully. After some twists and turns, it seems that the teenager has suddenly grown up and has a good upbringing, which was almost unimaginable before.

"It's bold that you dare to run out alone." Hathaway glanced at the wolf-looking children in front of her. It's a long way from the thieves' cottage, and it's not easy for them to escape here before they get caught up, "If I don't show up in time." You're done."

"They won't kill us." Babo. Horn hesitated. Shaking his head: "If they kill us all, they won't want to get the slightest benefit from the village, unless they simply kill everyone, but even if they are thieves." That won't be allowed to happen. Isn't it? ”

"You're right. But the leader won't necessarily save his life, like you? Hathaway looked at the boy who was not a few years younger than herself, and a smile appeared on her face. This smile was a little unpredictable in the eyes of the teenager, Babo. Horn's gaze flinched.

"Squadron Leader Sheldon, please send two knights to escort them out."

Hathaway turned to an officer-like knight, who immediately ordered the two knights to escort the children away.

"Master Magician, are you going to destroy those thieves? I can show you the way! "Babo. Horn's courage suddenly grew, especially after seeing the shining equipment and tall mounts of those knights, his eyes lit up.

"Save it, when you become a real martial artist, you can go to me."

With that, Hathaway urged the two knights to leave with the children, after all, it was very close to the bandits' lair.

After eliminating the incoming thieves, Hathaway had already sent Stilwell to rectify the situation. Pang Sen followed the few escaped thieves to find the location of the cottage, otherwise, with Hathaway's strength, how could they allow those thieves to slip through the net?

As for Sicconi. Sheldon and the others, they arrived later. On this trip, Hathaway was light. But Sicconi. Sheldon was not worried about her safety, but he still brought someone with him, keeping a certain distance from them. Now that he heard that thieves were rampant, he hurriedly led his troops to catch up, which solved the problem of Hathaway's lack of manpower.

The name of the King of Shadows was not blown out, he followed all the way, not only the thieves who were being followed did not find it, but even the bright posts and secret posts arranged near the cottage did not find out. Stilwell. Ponson circled the entire cottage and informed Hathaway of the location with the teleportation crystal. He also knew where the hostages were being held, and he had planned to wait for Hathaway to lead the team before rescuing him. But I didn't expect these children to have a lot of ideas and run out on their own. Stilwell. Pang Sen secretly helped them take care of some sentry posts, otherwise with the ability of these children, how could they run out safely? Just Stilwell. Ponson had his own mission and could not protect them all the time, and after discovering that the thieves were chasing the children with their hounds, he immediately informed Hathaway of their escape route, and he went back to clear the outpost on the outskirts of the cottage.

Hathaway entered the mountain to exterminate the bandof thieves and rescue the hostages, so after receiving the news, she immediately rushed to this side, fortunately arriving at the same time as the pursuers found the children. Upon discovering what was going on, Hathaway immediately cast the spell of the 'Tide of Darkness', and the pursuers and hounds were immediately caught in the illusion of dark magic, which she easily put to rest.

At this time, the hostages had safely escaped from the bandits' lair, Hathaway had no fear, and the sky was already clear, so she immediately summoned everyone to set off and march towards the bandits' lair.

A few hills away, you can reach it in a moment, and Stilwell. Ponson had already set out to clear the outposts, but there was another place that Hathaway focused on - the place where the clawed horses were kept in captivity.

According to Ernest Hemingway. Peck confessed that in the bandits' den, in addition to a dozen adult clawed horses, there were also dozens of juvenile clawed horses. Generally speaking, clawed horses only take three years to be used in battle formations, so Hathaway wants to keep these young beasts, and Stilwell. Ponson's second mission is to make sure that the clawed horses are safe and sound.

In the middle of the cottage, Rieser. Wigg paced a little distraught, and several of the little leaders looked at their leader restlessly, and no one dared to speak at this time, lest he be angered.

Bad luck!

Reese. Wig could only use these four words to describe himself, and finally got into the bed in the middle of the night, and before the pillow could get hot, someone came to report that the hostages had killed the guards and escaped from the cottage...... Not only that, but even the sentry posts along the way were killed, and they all looked like they were killed, as if they had been attacked and died. I really don't know who those people are so old to live, and they were attacked by a group of little hairy children.

It's not that he didn't suspect that a strong man had infiltrated the cottage, on the one hand, he didn't find it, and on the other hand, judging from the wounds of the corpse, it was indeed not only the strong who did it...... In this regard, it was all too easy for the Lord of Shadows to fool these thieves.

When he found out that the hostages had escaped, he immediately sent men in pursuit. Although they had been on the run for some time, the little ones had not run far and had their hounds with them. But for some reason, his eyelids were jumping, as if something big was about to happen.

"Are you all dumb? Why don't you say anything? He stopped abruptly, glaring angrily at the little bosses.

Say what?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to interface.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then a thief ran in in a panic: "Boss, it's not good, there is a ...... in the sky"

Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground, and everyone saw that an arrow was stuck in his back.

"Enemy attack! Get out! "Reese. After Weig was stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted, drew the saber at his waist and rushed outward, and the other leaders reacted and rushed out.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

No sooner had they reached the door than a series of violent explosions were heard from outside...... The earth was shaking, the room was shaking, the dust was falling, several people were a little unsteady on their feet, and a small leader accidentally stumbled and fell, almost knocking down the people in front of him.

Reese. Where can Wigg take care of all this?

He took the lead in storming the courtyard, and was horrified to find that the entire cottage was already in flames, black smoke was billowing out, and the thieves who had fled in all directions had been completely disorganized.

Magicians, only magicians can cause such a situation, and the subsequent fireballs in the sky prove it even more.

"Rush out! Get out! "Reese. Wig is about to collapse, most of the buildings on the mountain are wooden structures, and when they are attacked by fire, they immediately become a sea of fire, especially magical flames, which cannot be extinguished at all, unless there is a magician who is proficient in water spells here.

In the sky, Hathaway looked coldly at the few thieves who had just rushed out of a house, and as soon as she raised her hand, a 'frozen ice' was released.

The boundless cold air came suddenly, and before those people could react, a thick layer of ice had formed on their bodies.

"Kill!"

Sicconi. With a wave of Sheldon's rifle, dozens of knights responded and slashed downward.

The leaders of the bandits had been killed by Hathaway, and although there were many of them, they were too demoralized to fight back, and were crushed by the knights.

I don't know who shouted, and the rest of the thieves fled in all directions, but Stilwell was besieged outside with a few knights, and in line with Hathaway's instructions to eliminate evil, none of those thieves escaped the net.

"My lord, there are nineteen adult clawed horses and seventy-eight young beasts. In addition, there are some coins, some weapons and equipment, some sundries, some pack horses, cattle and sheep, carts, ......"

The battle was over in just a few minutes, but it took a few magic hours to clear the cottage. Still, the harvest was quite gratifying, and with a wave of her hand, Muhthaway ordered everything to be sealed, loaded, and shipped to Mandi Gaza, while she herself left directly with a few retinues.

When the hostages returned home, the merchants and nobles learned that the lord had sent troops to rescue their children, and the elimination of the thieves had increased the sense of security of the nearby civilians and greatly enhanced Hathaway's prestige. (To be continued......)
