Chapter 0089: Waiting for the siege to be lifted
"Where are you going?"
The person who asked was Luca.
"The Quarry."
Adam returned to the Tao and took the steel sword he had offered.
Riding boots alternately walked across the square, and a certain piece of sawdust was crushed.
The movement of the crowd as they stood up was connected, and they stopped to watch from afar, watching the lord ride out of the stronghold.
There was a slight commotion in the originally prepared team, but soon an order was conveyed - hold on to the defense, and the lord would solve the problem.
The heart is at peace again.
Even the militia themselves do not understand: why is it better to have power than a weapon in hand?
……
The galloping horses splashed mud, and the branches and leaves that lay among the grass were blown away.
It tossed several times in the air, and was about to fall back to the ground when more horses crashed in from the same direction, bringing up a strong wind that blew it directly up to the treetops.
Adam cleared the road alone and went straight from the boulevard to the River Valley Quarry.
There are many obstacles between there and the stronghold, and it is very troublesome to get around.
Therefore, after the attack, it was impossible to arrange for the evacuation of personnel in time, and the militia on duty could only guard and wait for the situation to ease.
The last hint given by [Billance] is that direction!
As soon as he felt the hostility, several red dots had already jumped into the mini-map, and the sense of smell of these beasts was a little stronger than his own [Scouting].
Lukka gritted his teeth and accelerated, and his horse stretched to the limit, settling on the slightly rough mountain road.
"My lord, there are wolves around, will we lead them to the river valley......
"Quite the opposite! They targeted me, and only by showing up in the quarry could I relieve the pressure on the workers. ”
When Adam finished explaining, he jumped straight out and cut it off.
[Riding: 168]
With this data, we have been able to overcome many terrain challenges and lead without pressure.
He could sense the danger ahead.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the sensitive sense of hearing had picked up the subtle and chaotic sounds of fighting.
It was close to evening.
A faint glow illuminated the forest, and the mist began to spread silently, and the gaps between the tree trunks became more and more hazy.
The grass vegetation is visibly thinning to the naked eye, and the quarry is already in view.
The whole space suddenly opened up, but it was as if it had crashed into the prepared gladiatorial arena - shouting, screaming, and barking all rushed towards it.
[You came to the edge of the quarry, the sunlight could only cut half of the cliff, the light mist had already attached to the surface, and the night was approaching, and the danger was everywhere. 】
Adam slowed down and put his hand on the silver sword, which was slightly moist to the touch, and the water vapor condensed a layer of liquid beads on the surface.
At this moment, more than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes turned in unison, and the fangs in their mouths all showed out.
The behind-the-scenes manipulators did not appear.
Maybe you want to take your own life with these beasts, or maybe you're rushing here?
He let go of the longhandle and put his hand on the steel sword again.
The dark blade was instantly unsheathed and placed diagonally next to the warhorse, and the wrist muscles began to move to adapt.
[You broke the stalemate in the valley, although the crowd was able to breathe, but the team was left behind by you, and the wolves had no intention of waiting. 】
"Don't be in a daze, let's go!"
Adam wrapped the reins and shortened them, and ran along the open and feasible places.
……
The workers, armed with spears, pickaxes, and axes, were now frightened and pale.
They cowered in the hollows that had been hewn out.
Because the boulder blocked the view, only the neighing of the horses could be heard just now, and the group of bloodthirsty and crazy beasts had already left along the stone passage.
"I thought I was going to die, this job was going to die."
Most of the new homeless people collapsed and sat on the ground, unable to muster any strength.
"Sure enough, there is no such good thing, digging and digging stones, you can eat and drink, maybe you can still have housing? Oh, woo woo......"
They propped themselves up, muttered a few words to themselves, and tears fell in their eyes.
"It's all over!"
The middle-aged homeless man knows too well: in this case, no lord warlord will come to support, wait until the corpse collection team has cleaned up the scene, and then transfer to the next batch of labor.
The stronghold craftsman was the opposite, and the initial panic on his face had completely disappeared.
In any case, they fled from the mountains, and although the beast herd was shocked, it was not enough to frighten them.
They covered each other, retracted the corpses outside and lined them up, and incidentally began to count the number of people, sort out and distribute the remaining weapons.
"You know, our initial concern was that no one in the colony knew that something was going on here."
The oldest uncle squatted down.
He had a warm smile and a burly figure, and as soon as he spoke, he gave people a sense of reliability, and many cries were stopped in a few words.
"Now that there are horses to break the siege, then I can rest assured that the lord must already know, and we all have to live!
Pack up your things, don't take it lightly, I'll go back and take you to the tavern to taste Bobo. ”
The craftsmen of the base echoed one after another, and when they handled the post-war scene at hand, they were very skilled and fluent, as if they had been specially trained.
The mood of the displaced people has gradually calmed down.
However, it was really difficult to accept that outsiders like them should trust someone in power, and someone said on the spot:
"You must be kidding, the lords are all animals who eat people and drink blood......"
Bang!
The last half of the word was not finished.
The homeless man who muttered this was coldly punched, and small mouthfuls of blood spurted out, and his teeth fell and collided and rolled into the cracks in the stones.
Before he could cry out in pain, he was pressed against his chin by a hard awl.
The uncle, who was gentle just now, is already looking at him at this moment.
"Luckily, if this were in the stronghold, you would probably be almost dead. If you spit out garbage in this mouth, I'll let you lick your own blood. ”
The man's face turned pale, and he nodded in apology.
He cast a plea of help to the "kind" workers around him, but saw only indifference and disgust.
……
Adam raised a blush, the wolf whimpered and fell backwards, the steel sword swirling back and forth on both sides, sometimes interrupting the culling with various elbow strikes.
Gusts of fog rolled in, obscuring half of the riverbank.
The wolves poked their heads out of the boulder and leaped down with great agility.
In the crevices that could be passed, black shadows jumped out one after another.
The red dots around him began to converge, and many of them ran out of the gentle slopes and forests - sure enough, they had transferred all their existing combat power to deal with themselves.
The war horse walked around the flat area, and its body was scratched by the wolf's claws and bloodied, and even a small horse's tail was pulled off.
After a few more moments of fling, the rear team finally arrived.
Lukka bore the brunt of the attack, and rushed along the wolf corpses all over the place, towards the encirclement that was gradually closing!
Adam also turned around, slamming into the gap, and the steel sword suddenly increased in speed, and the slashing action was fierce and domineering, even able to cut off the forelimbs.
The two sides closed together, and the speed of running slowed down.
Cavalry was constantly joined, and then switched to foot combat, so as not to be stripped of their mounts and instead fall into passivity.
Confrontation broke out again in the valley, but the battle was much fiercer than before.
The wolves rolled up, their sharp claws pounced on the crowd.
Steel blades, broadswords, round-handled axes......
Countless flashing arcs were drawn one after another, the sound of breaking the air was wrapped in blood, and the ears were full of sharp whistling.
The wolves consciously avoided the attack, and they have gradually fallen into disadvantage.
Adam was clear in his heart, and secretly estimated the number of opponents, just as he expected: two waves of attacks, heavy losses, and it had long been impossible to create that kind of monstrous momentum.
The current encirclement is just to hold on until that particular creature appears......
And himself, why isn't he waiting?
