At this time, the sky was still pitch black, and the large clouds floating in the sky obscured the light of the moon, forcibly blocking a bright moon from shining on the land and the people living on it with its light.

"Well, maybe it's going to rain today." Isabel pondered as she stared closely at the Caldwell village in the distance on the left side of the road, "Hurry up, put out the torches, and don't let these thieves find us." ”

Five heavily armed guards immediately jumped off their horses and threw burning torches into a ditch near the ploughed fields on the side of the road. Isabel also jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground on one leg and called several guards over: "Now, you walk around the back of the thief, and I will contact you with a code." Also, be careful not to let them find you. ”

Just as the five guards had quietly entered the field and disappeared into the night, Isabel unhurriedly bent down to remove the quiver full of arrows from the saddle bridge and tied it to her back. Holding the longbow in his left hand, he gently patted the horse's neck with his right hand: "Go to the side and lead the other horses over." ”

As the six horses obediently walked towards the ploughed fields on the other side of the road, Isabel stared at the few figures outside the village that flickered in the light of the fire, and ran quickly through the large ploughed fields towards her target.

Following her target closely, Isabel sped some distance through the field before suddenly stopping. Kneeling on one leg to observe the movement of his target, he got up again and accelerated forward. When she reached a distance of about 80 feet (about 24.4 meters) from the target, she stopped again and slowly crouched in the field to observe the target.

"Guys, hurry up, this is the royal domain." A man with a spear in his left hand, a torch in his right, and a one-handed knight's sword diagonally at his waist urged impatiently.

"Don't worry, it's still early in the morning." A middle-aged man who was pulling a cow away from the pen with a long rope in front of him screamed excitedly.

There were also two younger men, dragging a plump beef cow, and said to their accomplices: "The royal territory can also be stolen." As long as we don't go to the hunting grounds of the royal territory, even if we are caught by them, they will not torture us. ”

This is an ongoing crime, and the best way to deal with it is to seize the stolen goods. If the thieves had not violently resisted Isabel and the others during the arrest, she could not and was not allowed to kill the thieves on the spot.

Isabel watched as three thieves led the two cows out of the pen. Just as she was about to stand up and rush forward, she saw two of the thieves running back into the pen again to pull another fat beef cow. Once again, she hid herself in the darkness and let out two gentle bird calls at the back of the pen.

The man with the spear heard her "bird call". Turning sharply and raising his arms alertly, he shone a torch on the large field in front of him, "Mates, it's okay to steal another one, I seem to hear a strange bird call." ”

"Strange bird calls? Hahaha... It's almost dawn, and of course there will be bird calls. Two young men pulled a beef cow, laughing and dragging it towards the outside of the pen.

The five guards who had already been ambushed at the predetermined location immediately responded to Isabel in the same way when they heard Isabel's "bird call". This time, the man with the spear did not stand still again, intending to follow the bird's call to search for something that made him suspicious.

Isabel stood up at the right time and trotted out of the bullpen. When she was only about 20 paces away from the man with the spear, she straightened up and said in a loud voice, "Hey, men, don't move!" ”

The four thieves who stole the livestock were stunned, they didn't know where the woman came from. The man with the spear handed the torch to a young man beside him, and then glared at her viciously with the spear in both hands: "Who are you, the woman who should go to hell?" ”

"I am the one who has come to save the souls of you and your companions."

4 men, look at me, I see you laughed, and the middle-aged man holding a double-edged long-handled battle axe in both hands laughed and said, "So, you are the Virgin?" ”

In the darkness of the night, Isabel saw several guards sneaking up behind the thieves with various weapons in hand, and stretched out her right hand to draw a heavy arrow from the quiver on her back. Put the arrow on the bowstring and look at each other calmly: "I am the one who will make you feel more frightened than the Virgin. ”

The middle-aged man raised the battle axe in his hand and sneered: "Stinky woman, you'd better lie down obediently before being killed by me, let me taste the taste of a young woman." ”

The middle-aged man raised the battle axe in his hand, screamed and rushed towards her like crazy. Isabel raised her longbow and arrow on the string with both hands, and pulled the bowstring back with three fingers of her right hand, aiming at the middle-aged man's chest and firing a heavy arrow like lightning.

"Ah......" Before the middle-aged man could rush in front of the woman he wanted to kill, he was knocked to the ground on his back by a heavy arrow with an astonishing initial speed.

The man with the spear clenched in both hands looked indifferently at the accomplice who had been shot to the ground, raised his head and glared at the woman who killed the accomplice, and was about to rush over, when he suddenly felt a cool swishing sword-like thing on the right side of his neck. Squinting his eyes and glancing down to the right, sure enough, a knight's sword with a cold light was resting on his neck!

"Man, don't move! Drop your spear! One of the guards standing behind him uttered a cold word. The man with the spear looked at the two young accomplices on the side, only to see that they were also caught by several cavalrymen wearing armor and cloaks and holding knightly swords, and had no choice but to throw away the spears in their hands.

At this time, some early villagers in the village had already discovered the arrest at the crime scene. The male members of the family and the male companions of the neighbors ran to the cattle pen with torches, long-handled farming tools, and all kinds of weapons.

With the help of many indignant villagers, the remaining three thieves were tied and strung together. Some villagers who had been helped by Isabel took the initiative to go to the cultivated fields near the road to lead the war horses for her and Wei Cong. Isabel Walton, one of the agents of judicial duels for women and children throughout the county, is fully entitled to the heartfelt reverence of the populace.

After the villagers had re-herded the cattle into the pen and returned home, Isabel mounted her horse and instructed the two guards: "You two escort the suspect to the magistrate's court." Inform Your Excellency the Judge that these three persons are guilty of homicide and theft and are not eligible for bail. ”
