Chapter 13: Escape at Night
Morning
William, who was asleep, was woken up by Norwen, who had bloodshot eyes in his eyes and glanced at him, and he found that he and Norwen had already woken up.
Norwen glanced at William and Urimu and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
William and Urimu glanced at each other and said in unison, "Ready!" ”
"Action!"
At the sound of an order, William and Urimu began to act under the light of the stars.
William didn't have a torch, he didn't have night blindness, he smeared the dirt on the out-of-body one-handed sword, in order to prevent the reflection of the one-handed sword from being discovered, and now it has reached a critical moment, and there is absolutely no room for error, otherwise four lives will die here.
William walked lightly to the gate without making a sound.
"It looks like today's night guard is lax." William was overjoyed. "Thank you to the Buddha of the Three Qing Mountains, bless me, let me create a world in this Western Continent."
Today's night guard was only two sleepy robbers on the top of the gate, and William didn't find it difficult.
He walked up the stairs lightly on tiptoe, holding the one-handed sword behind his back, trying not to make any sound.
"One step, two steps"
Getting closer and closer, William's heart was pounding, he felt a little difficult to breathe, the beads of sweat on the top of his head fell into his eyes, he endured the sore eyes, and slowly approached the robber.
William stretched out his hand slowly, his movements subtle and gentle, without letting him notice the slightest.
Suddenly! William put his hand on the robber's face and covered his mouth and nose, the half-asleep robber woke up in an instant, he desperately wanted to make a sound for help, but William covered his mouth tightly, although there was a slight sound, but it was not enough to wake up another robber.
William didn't hesitate, the one-handed sword slashed his neck at once, and the blood couldn't stop flowing out, and he wanted to push William's hand away, but he didn't act, desperately trying to plug the wound on his neck.
But it was all in vain, and William did not let him go at once for the sake of safety, but waited until his blood was dry and he could no longer feel his breath before gently placing him on the ground without making any sound.
William did so, killed another robber, and opened the gate.
Back at the stable, Wella was still asleep, there was no need to wake her up at this time, Norwen packed a bag that was not too big or small, this was the continuation of the three of them, William's forty silver coins, Norwen's sixty silver coins, and Urimu's thirty-five silver coins, a total of one hundred and thirty-five silver coins.
"Did you get it?" Norwen asked, this is just a routine, if you don't succeed, William won't come back.
"Don't worry! Now it's almost a wood! William's heart was beating fast and he was very nervous about what was coming.
The sound ......of horses' hooves sounded, but it was not very noticeable, and it would be impossible for a person to notice it if he was asleep.
William and Norwen glanced at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes, "Done!" William let out a small cheer.
The two walked out of the door together, only to see Hu Limu leading three horses towards here, although they were getting closer and closer, but the sound of horses' hooves was not particularly loud, you know, these horses are all with horseshoe.
When I walked in, it turned out that the soles of the feet of the three horses were wrapped in thick linen, and William thought that the several pieces of linen cloth prepared by the wood were used for, so it turned out that they were doing this.
"I really have you!" William lowered his voice and exclaimed.
"Okay?" Hu Limu asked the two of them, "It's all ready, don't worry, I'll call Weina." William replied.
The sleeping Wella was woken up by William, looking hazy, very beautiful and lovely, but now is not the time to admire, William said to the sleepy-eyed Wella: "We're going to take you back to Baron Comos, so we have to escape from this cottage now, understand?" ”
William gave a cursory explanation, then took Wella's boneless little hand and walked outside.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the nervousness and excitement in each other's eyes.
"Let's go!"
The three of them were afraid that fleeing on horseback would make too much noise, so they led the horse, intending to escape from this range and flee on horseback.
"Stepping on ......"
The slight sound of horses' hooves echoed constantly, but it didn't wake anyone.
"Hey! What are you doing? ”
A lazy voice that had just woken up sounded, and William's backs were suddenly wet, William glanced at Norwen, who was also very nervous, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were clearly visible under the light of the torches next to the room, obviously, he was also a little panicked.
"Calm down, calm down! Don't panic! William took a deep breath, restrained the nervousness in his heart, and walked towards the man.
"Hey! Brothers! "We're just out and about, I want to." William was completely panicked, how could he be calm, such a stupid excuse was made up.
The robber was not a fool, he didn't believe it at all, and asked suspiciously: "You still go out in the middle of the night, and the four of you together?" So...... You and ride a horse? ”
As he spoke, the bandit's tone became more and more severe, and he subconsciously wanted to touch the weapon on his waist.
It's a pity that he didn't seem to have a weapon when he went out in the middle of the night, and William knew what he wanted to do when he saw his movements, so he simply struck first, pulled out his one-handed sword, and stabbed him in the chest at once.
The robber did not expect William to be so decisive, his face was full of remorse, and before he died, he let out a terrible wail: "There is an enemy!! ”
"Not good!" William yelled that something was wrong. "Get on the horse! Get on board! William shouted, and hurried to the horse.
Norwen and Urimu were already on their horses, and William first put Wella on the horse, then stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse, and with a knock on the horse's belly, the horse ran forward at a rapid pace.
William actually can't ride a horse, he just watched a lot of riding postures on TV series, and when they were about to steal a horse, he ignored the fact that he couldn't ride a horse, and now William is very uncomfortable, so he can only hold the reins tightly, step on the stirrups, and then hug Wella as much as possible.
It's all up to luck to control the direction or something, but luckily the road from here to the gate is a straight road and there is no need to turn.
At this time, there were already robbers who heard about their dying hobbies, and many people rushed out of the room with various weapons and chased and intercepted the three of them.
But people must not be able to catch up with the horse, two legs and four legs can not be compared, at this moment, some robbers actually took out hunting bows, took bows and arrows, and even wanted to shoot William and the four to death.
William and the others all have leather armor on their bodies, but Wella doesn't have it, and once they shoot at the part that is not protected by leather armor, they will definitely have to pick it up, and leather armor can't be compared with chain armor or something.
So William and the others had to speed up and curl up as much as possible, and William also tried his best to protect Wella with his body.
Wella looked up at the nervous William in the bump, and couldn't help but leak a smile, even if she was still in danger, she was not afraid at all, because she knew that the big boy behind her would protect herself.
Finally arrived at the gate of the village, and the equestrian master of the horse slowed down slightly, and before he could stop, he jumped off the horse's back, spread his legs and ran desperately to the door.
The hidden gate needed to be opened, and Hu Limu walked to the door, mustered all his strength, and slowly pushed the door open a two-meter-wide gap.
Due to the inertia, the war horse continued to move forward, and Hulimu turned over and got on his horse again, the first one rushed out of the walled gate, the second Nova, and the last William, sat tremblingly on the horse, for fear of falling off the horse.
William felt a shock in his back, he must have been shot by a bow and arrow, and took the time to look behind him, and sure enough, a weak arrow was bounced off by the leather armor and fell to the ground, getting farther and farther away from William as the horse's speed grew.
William really wants to be grateful for the leather armor on his body, if it weren't for this set of leather armor, even if the arrow was so far away and no longer powerful, it would have pierced William's skin, which also made him more aware of the benefits of armor, and at the same time paid more attention to armor.
More than a dozen arrows were shot sporadically, and it should be William's bad luck, only he was hit by an arrow, and neither Urimu nor Norwen were hit by an arrow.
"Stampede ......" another sound of horses' hooves sounded from behind everyone, and William's heart tightened, "Could it be that Pamir and his guards are chasing after him?" ”
The three of them looked back in unison, and it was really Pamir, who chased after him with two men with the only three horses left in the stable.
In fact, it didn't matter to him whether the four of William escaped or not, but if the person who escaped and betrayed was not severely punished, it would deal a very big blow to his prestige, so he had to come and hunt him down.
William was inexplicably annoyed, he couldn't ride a horse, let alone fight on a horse, and there were three people on the other side, which meant that he would be at a disadvantage.
Urimu and Novo glanced at each other, and they turned around in unison, charging towards the other party's three horsemen.
"William, you go first!" Norwen looked back and admonished.
Looking at the resolute backs of the two, William's eyes suddenly moistened, and he didn't care about wiping it, William knocked the horse's belly again, and the horse's speed suddenly accelerated, although it was more difficult to control, but he was able to leave here faster.
Before leaving, William glanced back at the two of them, and with a crying voice, he roared: "Be careful! Then he forced himself not to look at the two who left.
Hurim and Norwen pulled out the long sword scimitar at their waists, and their left hand was a round shield, and Hurimu was superb in riding, while the other three seemed to be half-in riding, except for Pamir.
Hurim took the lead in rushing to the enemy's side, between the two horses, Hurimu bent down, the scimitar in his hand caught the speed of the two horses and directly cut off half of the enemy, and the internal organs and intestines flowed out along the cracked wound, and the enemy fell off the horse in response.
The two horses that Norwen faced also dodged one person's long sword in a flash, and the shield was raised, blocking the other's attack, and survived the first stagger, which is also called a round in China.
Nowen and Urimu turned their horses around and charged again, this time killing another bandit who had come with the Pamirs.
Although Pamir was also hit by a sword, the chain mail on his body had this very good protection against slash damage, and although the chain mail was also cut this time, it only caused him some minor injuries.
On the contrary, it was Norwen, because his equipment was inferior to that of the other party, but he suffered a lot of injuries, but it was still not fatal for the time being.
