Chapter 1310: Exploring the Wilderness (25)
Daniel had just escaped, and while he was catching his breath, he was also worried about his companions.
That incendiary bomb-throwing device is dangerous, and must be eliminated first! Even though we know it's nearby—but where is it?!
Another explosion sounded in the distance, and the device that threw the incendiary bomb threatened Daniel and the others every minute! There was no time to hesitate anymore! The young man of the Black Iron Knight risked being discovered by the thieves and climbed to a tall tree beside him without hesitation! He knew that the bandits would also climb the tree to get a better sniper angle, and he believed that the other bandits would at least hesitate for a moment when they saw his clothes, if they did not mistake him for a companion! This moment was enough for him to see his surroundings clearly!
The boy quickly climbed the canopy of the trees, and in a very short time he could see all the qiē in the forest. Then he saw it! An incendiary bomb was coming at him!
Without even thinking about it, Daniel pulled out his light gun and gave the incendiary bomb a shot! The bullet shot down the incendiary bomb with precision in mid-air, causing the fuel-filled incendiary bomb to explode in the middle of the flight!
This explosion turned the situation into chaos. The rain of fire caused scattered small fires to burn everywhere in the woods, but this dense forest was contaminated by dew and mountain fog for many years, and the humidity of each branch and leaf was extremely high, and the scattered small fires would soon be extinguished, and there should not be a big fire! However, as soon as the flames and water vapor contended, bursts of thick fog were induced everywhere. The mist also merged in an instant, forming a thick and large layer of fog that enveloped most of the forest!
Danielmer remembered the direction the incendiary projectile had just come from, and had just jumped off the tree and sprinted. He cut through the fog, avoiding areas where the firelight flickered, and zigzagged toward his goal. The dense forest was full of panicked footsteps, and the thieves were probably at a loss for what to do, for fear that an indiscriminate attack would hurt their allies, and even the shooting stopped!
And this qiē is exactly what Daniel meant. He rushed all the way to his target without hindrance, and soon came to the open flat land of the forest.
There, there is a wooden apparatus resembling a small trebuchet, operated by four thieves. It's these bastards who threw Molotov cocktails on the heads of the knights of Great Britain!
Through the dissipating fog, Daniel was a little worried. He can't defeat four opponents at the same time!
However, when he saw the incendiary bomb in the hand of a thief, and then looked at the dozens of other incendiary bombs loaded in the bamboo basket next to him, he immediately had an idea. Before the other party could react, he stretched out a hand from behind a big tree and raised his gun to shoot!
Whoosh!-The light bullet was impartial and landed right in the bamboo basket.
Boom!!-The incendiary bomb was detonated in an instant, setting off a violent explosion!
"Uh-huh--" Daniel curled up behind the tree trunk, praying in his heart that the uncle would be able to withstand the impact of the explosion!
The blast passed, and Daniel found himself unharmed. The scorching blast of wind blew past the trunk of the tree, causing a scorching pain all over the Black Iron Knight Boy's body! Although his throat was dry, he did not suffer any significant damage, and finally managed to save a small life.
"Daniel!" a voice called out to the boy.
Daniel looked in the direction of the voice, and just wanted to complain to the other party why he was so flamboyant, but Jefferson, the Black Iron Knight, waved at Daniel with a big grin: "It's all settled." There were two or three thieves left, but when they heard the explosion and knew that their bomb truck had been killed, they fled. Anyway, we all survived, haha!" "Thank goodness!" the Black Iron Knight boy breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as his nerves relaxed, he collapsed and slid down the trunk to the ground: "What about the other companions?" "Ah, thanks to you, Bach and Tarcas are fine, Doré seems to have injured a leg, but he will survive." "It's just the five of us?" Daniel asked, a little disappointed, "Captain Stroth is dead, what are we going to do next?" "No, just go home." A grim and composed Black Iron Knight, who looked to be in his early twenties, approached. Of course, he also did Daniel's example, taking off his armor and putting on the fur coat of thieves in order to adapt to jungle warfare.
"Tarkas, you're not up to you alone. Knight Jefferson snorted slightly disgruntled.
"It's not my decision, it's a decision under the Knighthood of Great Britain. Tarcas replied with a grim face: "The Knights of Great Britain Regulations, Chapter 72, Article 28: When the captain of the mission dies in the line of duty, and the mission loses its commander, the mission is already considered a high risk. Any knight below the rank of Silver Knight who is unable to fight alone must return to the base to regroup until he is assigned a new mission.
To put it bluntly, we're just a bunch of newcomers, all Black Iron Knights with little combat experience. Without the captain's command, we can't complete the task alone. "Yes, wait until our superiors assign us another idiot captain, and let us send us to death again!" Great!" Jefferson shouted angrily, "Now is the best time to fight back! We have eliminated most of their forces! As long as we take advantage of the victory and find their den of thieves, we will be able to take the rest of the nest of thieves! We will do it ourselves, and the credit will go to a few of us, and with these achievements, we will be promoted quickly, and we will no longer have to be commanded by that stupid silver knight!" Tarkas's face, which was already strict enough, became even more stern: "Although only a few of us can hear the conversation here, I advise you not to insult your superiors." "Is this an insult to him? This is the truth! Because of that stupid and clumsy command of Stroth, we almost died!" Jefferson said angrily: "I still have a large burn on my back, and it still hurts! Most of their titles of Silver Knight are hereditary, and they are not as good as us in terms of fighting, and they are even more of a mess in terms of combat command! Do you still want to give your life to such a guy? You really want to die, right?! Tarcas replied calmly, "However, not all Silver Knights are as incompetent as you say. There are quite a few people who have climbed up from our class by slowly accumulating military exploits. It would be too presumptuous to beat all the silver knights to death, thinking that the next commander must be an incompetent fool. They quarreled with each other, both young men in their early twenties, strong and young, and it seemed that the quarrel would go on forever.
Daniel, who was on the side, listened quietly and did not interject. In terms of age and the number of days he became a regular knight, his qualifications are the youngest, let these seniors of old qualifications argue, he doesn't want to mix.
"Is this really the case?" another Black Iron Knight walked over carrying Dore, a knight with a wounded leg, "Judging from this siege, the bandits were very well planned. They may not have good brains, and they are like a plate of loose sand when they fight alone, but there must be some clever guy behind their backs. If we rush into their territory, we are afraid that we will be further ambushed and suffer even greater losses. Tarcas glanced at the colleague named Bach and nodded in agreement: "And our equipment is broken, and we have lost it, and it is very disadvantageous to continue to chase it deeply." We'll have to send the injured Mr. Doré back for treatment. At this time, the middle-aged black iron knight's face turned pale: "It's okay, it's just a bruise, I can still go, I can continue to fight after a rest" Sensing Dorey's strange behavior, Jefferson frowned and asked: "Mr. Dorey, you seem to be in favor of continuing to pursue those thieves? The middle-aged knight sat down near a tree trunk with the support of his companions, gasped softly, and whispered: "I really hope to complete this mission" Tarcas and Bach, who were in favor of retreating, shouted almost at the same time: "Why?!You are injured like this!" "The child in my family is sick and needs money for surgery" The middle-aged knight replied in a low voice: "I have been afraid of taking risks all my life, and I have always let myself stay in the position of Black Iron Knight, and I am afraid that my family will be helpless if I die." I took on this dangerous mission this time because there is really no way to apply for emergency relief funds only for such high-risk missions, I don't know if if the mission is canceled, will the relief money be canceled as well?My son's surgery really needs this money urgently" The middle-aged knight's words were like sharp needles, and suddenly pierced Daniel's heart. The other party's experience almost overlapped with the experience of the Black Iron Knight boy. But Mr. Doré is fortunate that he still has relatives to save, while Daniel's mother has already gone before the boy tries to save her.
"Understood," the boy got up from the ground without hesitation, "I am also in favor of continuing the mission." Anyone who doesn't want to continue the mission can retreat first, but I won't leave until I wipe out the Red Spider Thieves. "Little one, even you-!" Knight Bach looked at Daniel with a surprised expression: "You are all crazy, don't you want to die?!" Tarcas seemed to know a little bit about Daniel's background, and when the boy said this, Tarcas's face sank, and he did not object to anything: "In this way, it is not impossible for us to go and inspect each other's lair." But it's better not to act rashly yet, and wait for reinforcements to come before attacking together. "Okay. Daniel grabbed some mud from the ground and pasted it on his face. He compared the appearance of the thieves, and dressed himself up like the thieves: "I will try to infiltrate their walled city and receive you from the inside." When will the reinforcements arrive?" "I just sent a message to the headquarters explaining the situation, and they said that six more knights would be sent by six o'clock tonight. "Then we'll see you at six o'clock in the evening." Daniel felt into the shadows of the forest.
"Wait!, is it really okay for you to go alone?!" Jefferson hurriedly asked, "If you are recognized, you will surely die!" "No one will suspect a skinny imp." And my life is not worth anything," Daniel replied indifferently, and his figure was completely hidden in the forest.
The fire of determination burned quietly in Daniel's heart. He had no intention of waiting for the Knights' support at all. He intended to secretly destroy the Red Spider Thieves by himself to avoid risking his companions.
