The trees and shrubs that had been hindering the movement of the army were burned to char and ashes, and the coalition forces easily formed a formation and searched in a straight line to the top of the mountain.

Along the way, they encounter charred corpses from time to time, and from the distorted appearance, you can see the great pain they suffered before dying. Both girls couldn't bear it, and they lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

"Found it! In that place, don't let them run. ”

"Raise your shield and watch out for their bows and arrows."

With a commotion and cheers, the soldiers of the brigade gathered around the mouth of a blackened stone cave.

"Find those bandits, their big boss is hiding in that hole!" A militiaman ran past Xiao Yan and shouted excitedly. The contractors hurriedly surrounded it, and sure enough, they found a stone cave less than two meters high and half a meter wide, and at the mouth of the cave lay the corpse of a militiaman, with a feathered arrow stuck in his forehead.

There was also a ragged woman kneeling in the open space beside her, and when the viscount stepped forward to ask, it turned out to be the daughter of a manor owner who had been kidnapped by Reims a few months ago, and her face was haggard but also quite beautiful. The woman recognized the coat of arms, grabbed the viscount's armor and wailed.

"My lord! The beast had killed the sisters, and I was the only one who had a chance to escape. He hid all his treasures in this cave...... He was the only one. ”

The eyes of the others were straight when they heard this, and the evil knight Lance, and his treasure, were now blocked in the cave. Xiao Yan was also on the side, frowning slightly after listening to the woman's words.

"Up! Come on, in pairs! Work in pairs and take your shields. The knights, with their swords held alof, shoved the militiamen to the entrance of the cave, "Raise torches and go in to see what is going on." ”

Reluctantly, a dozen militiamen raised torches or spears, shielded the front, and groped side by side into the cave.

"This stinky rat has nowhere to run, and we're going to use our spears to get him out of the hole." Just now, the militiamen found a charred corpse beneath a ruined wall, and a burnt and twisted badge on the corpse barely revealed the identity of the corpse - the burnt Baron Hale. Viscount Sindra nearly fainted when he learned of this. The fire not only burned the thieves' treasures and supplies, but also burned the hostage baron.

After finally finding the hiding place of the bandit leader, the Viscount was determined to pull the bandit leader's skin. It's a pity that this cunning mouse is hiding in a small hole** can't be found out at once.

"Fortunately, there are enough militias, and their worthless lives can be squandered at will. It won't be long before this bastard is caught," Viscount Sindra thought hatefully, and yelled into the cave, "Have you found the bandit?" ”

"Ahhh An elongated scream answered the viscount's question. This was followed by a barrage of screams from many different people. The sound of stray footsteps came from the hole.

"Help!" Several militiamen stumbled out of the cave, "He! He...... Inside, a lot of us were killed. ”

The 12 militiamen who entered the cave didn't go far before they encountered Lance, who was cornered. Before the torch-wielding militiamen could see their surroundings clearly, a thick mace smashed the head of the militia at the front, and warm blood splattered onto the faces of the others.

Before the others could react, a tomahawk swept the militia from left to right. As the first militia did not form a queue after falling, the shields in the hands of the rest of the militia became decorations, and one more was beheaded in half on the spot, and the other was seriously wounded, and slimy intestines and blood flowed all over the ground.

The militia that could not be used was suddenly in chaos, and Lance slashed and slaughtered like a tiger like a flock of sheep. The militiamen turned and fled, only to fall in the rugged hole, and were chased by Lance for another massacre, and in the end only four people escaped in terror and ran down the hillside...... The knights couldn't stop it.

"Minsk, Lugo!" Viscount Sindra was also embarrassed and threw himself home, and called out the two knights, "You bring people up." ”

The baron on the side scratched his face, and at this time he also had to do something, so he also assigned a knight to line up.

The three knights immediately led 10 strong militiamen, shielded themselves with large shields, and carefully touched the hole.

"This Lance makes a good bow and arrow, and a warrior like Volg is also poisoned by him, everyone's shields are tight, don't give him a chance to release cold arrows." The speaking knight Minsk was in his forties, the most composed of several knights.

The others also nodded their heads and cautiously made their way inside.

This cave is not as deep or wide as it is, at most twenty or thirty meters deep. But because of the narrowness of the cave and the fact that these tall knights were blocked, it was pitch black in front of them after a few steps down.

An arrow came coldly, but it was still a powerful heavy iron arrow, and the Lugo knight holding the shield knocked it back. Fortunately, the knights all used iron-clad shields, and this arrow only pushed them back, and it could not hurt anyone.

"There are so many of us who are guarding to the death, and in this narrow place, this barbarian has nothing to do," Minsk saw that his most feared bow and arrow did not hurt anyone, and his heart suddenly reassured, "When I meet him, I will use a big shield in front of me." You militiamen stabbed him with spears in the back, got it? ”

A group of people said yes, and the courage in their hearts also strengthened a little.

"Lance, come out quickly! Lao Tzu gives you a good time. Lugo thought that the bandit could no longer help himself, and shouted as he moved steadily.

"Smack!" Lugo was covered in armor at this time, and he was also wearing iron-clad boots on his feet, and he did make some water sounds when he stepped on it, and he felt a little strange in his heart, "Is it the blood of the person who died just now?" There's a lot of blood, and it's all waterlogged. ”

Minsk next to him was also a little strange, and after a little attention, he suddenly shouted badly, "It's oil!" This smell is oil! Hurry back! Hurry back! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of fire flying in the darkness, and Minsk was taken aback, and the blood in his body poured into his head in fear.

When a person is highly stressed, a large amount of adrenaline secretion can greatly improve the person's reflexes and thinking speed, while giving the illusion of slowing down time.

The Minsk knights watched as a torch swirled in the air, as if it had been a century. He desperately wanted to turn around and run away, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain, and his own people were blocked behind him, so anxious that he was sweating. The torch finally fell at Minsk's feet, and a bright flame filled his vision.

"Ah!!h Screams and roars came from the cave that were even more terrifying than before. This time, not a single person escaped from inside.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." Viscount Sindra burst into a rage, "Pour fire oil and burn him!! ”

Bags of oil were poured into the hole, and a knight took a torch and threw it into the hole, and a wave of heat rushed out of the hole, which made the knight retreat.

A raging heat wave swept through the cave, illuminating even the corpses in a bright fire. When the terrible flames were finally extinguished, the viscount, who was already in complete despair, commanded the remaining knights to force the militia into the cave again with their swords.

The militia discovered that it was a hook-shaped cave with a deep entrance and then turned slightly to the left. The militiamen were still alive with a few seriously wounded and were moved out as soon as possible. One of them died during the transport. Minsk and the other three knights were in the center of the flames and had been burned to the ground. At the bottom of the cave, they found a burly, charred corpse lying dead next to a large pile of half-charred gold and silver treasures.

The viscount made sure everything was safe before entering the cave, picking up a few barely illegible gold coins and kicking the corpse that had caused him endless trouble.
