Chapter 36: Theft

In the chaos of the battlefield, those who failed to retreat in time with those nobles and knights had to find various ways to escape.

Many people directly chose to surrender, but those undead didn't know what surrender was, as long as they saw a living person, they would pounce and bite wildly, and those knights had been slashing with a sword, and they had no idea of containing the prisoners at all.

In this situation of not being able to surrender, many chose to flee deep into the surrounding mountains and forests in order to escape the butcher's knives in the hands of the knights, but before they could rush into the forest, they suddenly collapsed in the middle of the run and could not get up again...... Although a large number of Syndicate thieves have been killed before, there are still a large number of Syndicate thieves roaming the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to kill those who try to escape.

For a while, the whole valley screamed and wailed.

Many people have had to choose another way to save their lives...... Play dead.

However, once this method is used, it is tantamount to giving up the initiative, and everything depends on whether the enemy will make a careless mistake.

Song Zheng naturally would not choose this passive method, after separating from Sal, he immediately found the syndicate thief who was killed by him and Sal before, and then quickly changed his clothes, smeared some blood and muddy water on his body, and then brought the special face towel of the syndicate, and immediately transformed into a standard syndicate thief.

Then under the natural cover of the night, Song Zheng quickly blended in with the other syndicate thieves.

"Rush, kill! Watch out for the thief! Song Zheng shouted so hard that two young syndicate thieves took him as their leader and ran after him all the way.

The battle in the valley ended quickly, and after Gianna and the knights and mages who escorted them retreated, what remained in the valley was nothing more than a massacre.

Song Zheng began to look for opportunities to deliberately fall behind, pretending to be injured and limping behind.

Seeing that he was about to get out of the field of vision of the large army, and there were only the two young thieves who were left with him in a daze, Song Zheng secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Finally escaped......" Song Zheng was about to find a casual excuse to get rid of the two young syndicate thieves

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, so that he could not even avoid it in time.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pull the two young syndicate thieves to the side, hoping that the other party would leave as soon as possible.

However, what made Song Zheng speechless was that the few horseback riders actually stopped in front of him.

"You three, have you ever seen that damn thief?" A stern rebuke came from the horse, but it was Gusin's voice.

Despite the victory in the battle, there was no hint of joy on Gusin's face, after all, his goal was to catch the thief who had stolen his purse and retrieve what had been stolen.

Song Zheng couldn't help but secretly complain when he heard this, because the other party was too close to him, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, but the two young syndicate thieves next to him shook their heads again and again and said that they didn't see any thieves.

"Didn't you get orders? That's the guy on the bounty poster! Gu Xin said and took out a piece of paper, on which was Song Zheng's portrait.

"Yes." Song Zheng hurriedly took out the same piece of paper, which he had obtained when he killed the syndicate thief before.

"Then what are you still rubbing here, hurry up and find it for me, you must catch it alive!" Gusin said with some anger.

"Due to the lack of manpower, we are preparing to split up and make a pursuit, ...... You two chase to the east, and I'll go to the west. Song Zheng hurriedly took the opportunity to give an order to the two young syndicate thieves.

"Hmph, hurry up and chase after him, as long as you can catch that kid, I will be rewarded!" Gusin said quickly and hurriedly riding his horse towards the south, which was the direction in which Gianna and the others had fled, and at this moment Owen was leading the knights in a frenzied pursuit.

Although they won this battle, they exposed all their hole cards, so naturally no one should be allowed to return to Nanhai Town alive, and Gusin also believed that his target was very likely to escape with Gianna.

It's almost a day and a night away from here to Nanhai Town, and there's plenty of time for them to hunt down.

However, there are more than 300 guard knights in Gianna's party, and there are even paladins, which has to be taken very seriously.

"Master Guxin, we have set up a lot of ambushes this time, even if they escape from this valley, we still have two ambushes on the way south, and we will definitely not let those people escape back to Nanhai Town, including Gianna!" A knight next to him said with some smugness.

In fact, what the knight said was not wrong, Gu Xin and the others had not been running for long before they had caught up with the team in front.

Another fierce battle was taking place here, where Gianna and the others were ambushed, and in front of them was a river, but the only bridge was occupied by a group of syndicate thieves, who were shooting people trying to cross the bridge with their crossbows.

On a normal day, these guard knights would naturally not take the group of syndicate thieves seriously, but at this moment, there is a large group of undead and nameless black-armored knights behind them.

The already small number of knights had to split into two teams, one fending off the pursuers in the rear, and the other trying to forcibly seize the bridge.

By the time Gusin and his party arrived, the battle had become white-hot, and more than half of the horsemen had been killed or wounded, and the bridge was already full of corpses.

However, Gianna and the others had already abandoned the carriage and rushed onto the bridge under the protection of a group of knights.

A large number of arrows were immediately fired at Gianna in the crowd, and the syndicate thieves clearly knew who was more important.

However, most of those sharp crossbow arrows were blocked by the guard knights around Gianna, and the few crossbow arrows that were not blocked also fell to the ground one after another when they touched the magic shield around Gianna's body.

At the same time, the staff in Gianna's hand had once again glowed blue, and a frost ray that was extremely bright and conspicuous in the darkness shot out from the staff, and any syndicate thief who was hit by the frost ray immediately fell into the frost freeze.

As the syndicate thieves who stood in the way were suppressed by Gianna's magic, the rest of the nobles and knights of the guard rushed to the bridge, ready to rush over.

"Do you want to escape...... Let me end this with a high-level Fire Blast! Gu Xin, who had just arrived at the battlefield, immediately let out a sneer when he saw this, and then reached for his magic book in his arms.

The mages and knights who followed him immediately looked respectful and expectant, as if they really wanted to see the demeanor of this master magician.

However, when Gu Xin's hand reached into his arms, he didn't take it out after groping for a while, and his smug sneer gradually solidified on his face.

"Damn, my stuff is gone again, my magic book is gone!" After a few moments, Gusin's angry roar finally exploded in the darkness......
