The yellow-brown stag with a few white spots shrewdly dodged the soldiers' crossbows, and lightning flew over a decaying and fallen old tree, and after the rain the crisp green grass seemed to flow under it like a swift flowing water, and in front of it was a hillside, and beyond this meadow was a blue sky and a vast jungle.

Charles chased the elves of the forest, dodging the branches that stretched across the trees on either side. As the stag's back grew farther and farther away, Charles jerked his horse in his crotch. The steed neighed and stopped, and behind him Joseph gasped and trotted to its side, looking up at the heroic and proud knight on it, the two-man black horse flicking its long pale white mane, snorting in a rage, and its discontented hoofs seemed to complain about the abandonment of its prey.

Charles stroked his hand on its neck a few times, and casually patted its shoulder bone, instantly calming the irascible horses.

"My lord, this deer is running so fast, it seems that we can't catch up!" Joseph looked at the figure that flashed in the shade of the tree, and said unwillingly.

Charles smiled hehe, beckoned a cavalryman about seventeen or eighteen years old to his side, pointed to the back that was already a little invisible, and said with a smile: "Bill, if you can still shoot that buck from such a distance, then I will cover all your wine money this month!" ”

When the young man named Bill heard this, his eyes lit up at once. He ignored the apparently suspicious eyes of Joseph and his group, and just stared at the back of the stag that was almost gone. He quickly took out the hunting crossbow that hung beside the horse's belly, buckled a eagle-feathered crossbow arrow, and wound it quickly.

Charles stretched out his hand and gestured in front of his mouth, signaling the rest of the group to be quiet, and quickly stopped the commotion in the group, and everyone stood still, quietly watching Bill sit on a tall hunting horse, squinting slightly and pulling the trigger towards the looming figure.

The buck's mood is a little complicated now, the rain in the past few days has caused him to be able to only shrink in the dark cave, and finally waited for the rain to stop, he came out early in the morning to prepare to flirt with his sister, and by the way, he did some big things to reproduce the race, but he didn't expect to meet a group of two-legged monkeys on the way, and this group of strange guys attacked him without saying a word. No, after their own unremitting efforts, this group of strange villains was left behind.

The more it thought about it, the more angry it became, and the more proud it became, its hooves kicked the ground violently, shooting into the sky like arrows off the string, and in mid-air it stretched its vigorous body happily, while turning its head to look disdainfully at the two-legged monkeys chasing behind it.

Let you have a length (body), you can't even see my ass (taillights)!

Joseph and the others looked at the figure jumping high, and they all let out a sigh of regret. At this moment, they suddenly heard a "boom", the bowstring of the hunting crossbow made a loud noise in the air, and the vigorous figure in the distance suddenly froze, as if time had stopped, and the figure of the stag leaping high became a painting frozen in the blue sky and white clouds.

In the distance, people could also see a large stream of blood flying on its body, and then its sturdy body fell weakly to the ground.

After a brief silence, the onlookers cheered loudly, but before the earth-shattering cheer was over, the stag in the distance rose again and limped into the shadows of the jungle.

The crowd fell silent again, and Bill, blushing, slipped the crossbow back into the side pocket next to the saddle, and was embarrassed to hide to the side.

Charles grabbed the young man who wanted to sneak away and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Haha, you can so far, it looks like I'm really going to bleed once!"

Bill touched his shoulder embarrassedly, and said cautiously, "But let it run, is that okay?" ”

Charles smiled, turned his head to him and said, "What I'm saying is that as long as you can shoot me, I'll take care of your wine money, and I can still pay the bills?" Besides, at such a distance, no one here can guarantee that you will be able to shoot that deer at once, except for you, and your hand is really not blowing! ”

When the others heard this, they all reacted at once. Indeed, at such a long distance, I'm afraid that only Bill, a "marksman", can shoot it.

Bill was finally happy, grinning and smirking.

Charles looked at his smug appearance, and couldn't help but lightly smack his helmet angrily, and said angrily, "You're still laughing!" If you shoot the deer to death, we'll be ready to eat at noon today!" Go and go, wait for the roast rabbit to be your share, while nibbling on dry food! ”

The cavalrymen who were familiar with Bill immediately let out a burst of laughter, and they all coaxed Bill to say that they would not ask Bill to eat meat.

Joseph looked at the group of peers on horseback with some envy, and suddenly he thought of his comrades who had suffered heavy losses, and his heart could not help but be clouded with a layer of gray. Although they had been prepared for the battle against the bandits, and had been helped by Charles' cavalry. But in the end, nine of them left this world permanently, and three of the wounded were afraid that they would not be able to live a normal life for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Joseph's heart couldn't help but secretly feel bitter, when he and his comrades-in-arms would be able to get rid of the current predicament, and when they would no longer be like grass mustard, silently living and dying silently.

While Joseph was secretly sad in his contemplation, their team pushed away the infantry and came to Charles's horse. His left hand covered his abdomen - his previous combat strength was accidentally stabbed in the stomach by a bandit, and his face was extremely pale.

Charles looked at the brave officer curiously, quietly waiting for his next words.

I saw that the team was first bowing respectfully and saluting, and then said softly: "Dear lord, it is not early now, as long as we go another twelve kilometers to the west, we will reach Djerkhala!" Your Excellency, please don't waste any more time on trivial matters, it's important to hurry! ”

Charles frowned a little unhappily, he secretly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said politely: "I agree with your idea very much, but I am afraid that the injuries suffered by you and your soldiers do not allow us to make such a rapid march again, are you right?" ”

The team was about to say more, but Joseph looked at his comrades' increasingly unkind eyes and quickly grabbed him.

"Sir, just listen to Lord Charles. Lord Charles is kind and generous, and his decisions are for everyone's good! ”

"Yes, yes! You don't have to look for trouble! ”

Charles listened to the soldiers' denunciations, enjoyed their compliments, and slowly became intoxicated. At this moment, he faintly heard the team saying to Joseph solemnly: "We are soldiers, not farmers!" The lord didn't recruit us to raise a group of pampered masters, we had to be what a soldier should do! ”

Well, Charles clicked his mouth, and he had to admit that he was starting to like this tenacious guy.
