Sabel and her scout team quietly moved to the southernmost part of the town of Annen, near a small grove on the banks of the River Eske. Then they dismounted and led their horses on foot into the woods and came to the northwestern edge of the woods. Isabel, who was kneeling on one leg on the grass, pointed to a clearing in the northwest outside the woods and whispered to her brother Ernest beside her, "Look there, Sir." ”

Ernest opened his eyes wide and saw the open space flickering with the glow of some torches, and by the light of the fire, he could see dozens of domed canvas tents lined up neatly. Just as he wanted to take a closer look, he noticed an infantry squad of a dozen halberders appearing in front of him from west to east.

"Nemesis, there's a camp there, and I also saw a patrol." Ernest pulled his neck back and leaned against a large tree on his right to speak.

"Can you see what kind of camp it is? I mean heraldry or coat of arms. Isabel took off the longbow she was carrying and stared at the other man's face.

Ernest blinked as he recalled, "I probably saw a few coat of arms with them, but it was too dark to see which nobleman's coat of arms or insignia they were. ”

"I know." Isabel nodded, turned to look behind her, and whispered, "Sir Alex Ferguson, Baldwin, come here." ”

When the two of them, who were hiding behind two trees, heard her words, they immediately walked behind her in a half-crouched position. Isabel glanced at the two of them with the eyes hidden behind the mask, "Listen, you two and I will go into the camp and catch a highlander or two later." ”

Sir Alex Ferguson nodded calmly, "Your Excellency, we can go now. ”

Isabel glanced at the three-quarters of the two and shook her head, "No, they have patrols, they'll find us." You immediately take off your hands, the protruding armor on your forearms, elbows, and two shoulder plates, just like infantry armor. ”

Although three-quarters armor is a medium-sized armor between light cavalry armor and heavy cavalry armor, it is still a dual-purpose armor for actual combat and competitive competition. The shoulder armor on both sides of it is equipped with a protruding armor structure of heavy cavalry armor. This design can be used to block the opponent's spear in a spear contest or in actual combat.

Isabel had the two of them take off the extra part of their infantry bust in order to allow them to flexibly control their bodies and better perform reconnaissance missions. Ferguson looked at her twice, and quickly complied. Baldwin didn't understand what she meant, knelt on the ground and took off his armor, and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, if we enter the camp and fight the Highlanders, how can we resist the Highlanders without armor?" ”

When Isabel saw the patrol walk past her eyes again and follow the patrol route to the east, she began to mentally calculate the number of steps the patrol would need to walk around the camp. When the patrol walked away, he turned his head to look at Baldwin, "There can't be a fight, we have to avoid the patrol and get into the camp." ”

Sir Alex Ferguson quickly took off his armor, and when he looked at Baldwin, he stretched out two fingers to simulate a human walking, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency intends for us to walk in quietly." ”

Soon, the trio were ready to sneak into the camp. Isabel held her bow in her left hand and leaned against a large tree to look at the camp ahead. Still silently counting the number of steps the patrol had taken back in front of him, he whispered to Ernest, "Sir, now I will leave the squad under your command, so that the highlanders will not discover you and the horses." ”

It was at this moment that the Scottish Halberd Patrol returned to Isabelle's eyes for the third time. As she continued to the east, she stared at the patrol's pace, scribbling the count: "1... 2… 3… 4…… Let's go. ”

Sir Alex Ferguson and Baldwin, two more sedate would-be lancers, immediately followed Isabel who was trotting out, and left the edge of the forest in a half-crouched body and ran towards the camp in front of the left. After running seven or eight steps, Isabel turned back to the two and ordered, "Follow me, stop when you enter the camp." ”

As the three of them stood up and ran into the camp as fast as they could, hiding behind a tent, the halberd patrol returned from the western patrol route to the south. To the surprise of the dozen or so patrol infantrymen, three pairs of eyes hiding behind their visors and masks were peering into the camp at this time.

"My God, how did Your Excellency know that the patrol would be back at this time?" Baldwin muttered inwardly as he stared at the patrol with his handguard sword.

"God forbid, fortunately I am not your enemy." Baldwin was still chattering when he sensed someone beside him, and when he turned around and was about to attack the other man with his bayonet, he found his commander silently coming to his side.

"The patrol has gone east, you and Sir Alex Ferguson stay where you are and don't get discovered, I'll go catch the highlanders." With that, Isabel handed him the longbow in her hand.

"Yes, Your Excellency, be careful."

"I know, I went."

As the patrol walked at an even pace to the north, Isabel slipped into a tent to the south with a dagger in hand. As soon as I entered the tent, I was greeted by a strong smell of sweat and feet. Isabel subconsciously placed her right index finger across the false nostril of the humanoid mask and scolded, "Damn, don't these Scots never wash their feet?" ”

On closer inspection, two adult men were sleeping in the tent. From the armor, light cavalry spears, and one-handed swords that the two men casually threw on the ground, it can be seen that these two men were two of James V's light cavalry. Isabel crept between the two beds, looking at the one on the left and then the one on the right.

The two Scottish hussars could only take one prisoner, and the remaining one could be easily disposed of. Even if the patrol or other Scots found the body she had killed, it would be after dawn. Thinking of this, Isabel slowly walked to the bed on the left side and slowly knelt on one leg.

Then, the left hand was gently placed on the left side of the man's neck, who was lying flat. With a short sword in his right hand, he slowly pressed against the skin of the man's left neck from the mouth of the tiger in his left hand. Immediately afterwards, the right upper arm led the right forearm and then the right hand, and with a single effort, the blade of the sword stabbed into the man's neck.

The moment the blade pierced the man's neck, the man's eyes snapped open. When he opened his mouth wide and wanted to call, he died on the spot because the large blood vessels in his neck and laryngotrachea were instantly severed. When he died, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was always wide open, as if he was scared to death by Sadako in "The Grudge".
