Chapter 0082: Divergence
Killing the defector seemed to have consumed all the strength and courage of the girl, and after throwing away the sword, she sat down on the spot and cried loudly, and the only seven or eight civilian women who were left saw that the girl wanted to take her away, but they could not let the girl's crying subside, and the women who were already very weak after two days of being captive had no water.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
"It's coming!" Wu Hao's heart tightened, and he stood up and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
It is already late at night, the dark clouds in the sky cover the moon and most of the stars, even if Wu Hao's visual distance is only one or two hundred meters, the transmission of sound will not be affected, after listening carefully for a moment Wu Hao frowned, judging from the sound of horses' hooves, there are five riders approaching, and the rhythm is stable, and the mount does not look like it has been injured.
Is it the worst-case scenario?!
The explosive poison trap will not distinguish between war horses and humans, not to mention the low intelligence of human beasts, and they will be frightened and run away in an unexpected situation, even if they are lucky not to be blown up, they should inhale a lot of poisonous mist, and it is absolutely impossible to rush back so steadily, unless they have not entered the explosion range at all.
"!" scolded in a low voice, and Wu Hao was ready to flash.
Now in his own state, to scold the defector is to die.
Who knew that the rider who was just about to jump off the wall and leave, and the fast approaching rider had already appeared in the field of vision, and after subconsciously glancing at it, Wu Hao's depressed mood immediately turned into ecstasy, and the riders who appeared were not those defectors who led the team away before, but the Eastern Lordaeron legionnaires who were wearing army uniform armor and were distinctly colored.
The rider at the front was Anthony.
"It's terrifying!" Wu Hao completely relieved himself and quit the stealth state.
The five outposts led by Anthony did not approach rashly on their horses, but after reaching a distance of a hundred meters, they turned diagonally to the right, and seemed to want to run around the camp to test the possible defector firepower, and then respond according to the situation.
And Wu Hao's shout sounded at this time.
"Hey!" Wu Hao, who waved his hands, shouted: "Don't be stupid, it's all done!" β
The five people of the "....." outpost were directly dumbfounded.
"What's the fuss, come in!" Wu Hao shouted again.
This time Anthony grabbed the reins and stopped the war horse, looked at his companions a little stiffly, and found that the other party was the same as himself, his eyes were full of disbelief and shock, and it took several seconds to come back to his senses, driving the war horse close to the camp, opening the gate and entering, scanning the entire camp in surprise as he walked.
In front of the gates, on the walls, and in the camp, the bodies of defectors were strewn everywhere.
The five outpost soldiers who entered the camp, whether they were thieves or hunters, all looked extremely shocked, opened their mouths to look at the slain defectors, their eyes kept moving in the camp, these soldiers were all veterans of many battles, from the location of the defector's corpse, the distribution of arrows on the wall and the ground and bloodstains, they could roughly restore the entire battle process.
"This... It's all this..."Anthony looked at Wu Hao, who jumped into the camp to meet him: "You did it?" β
"Or else?" Wu Hao rolled his eyes.
"And over thereβ" Anthony pointed in the direction of the explosive poison trap.
"Do you need to talk about that? Isn't it me, is it you? Ha ha. The tone was not polite at all, but his demeanor was very gentle, he thought he was going to be forced to dodge, who knew that it was a friendly army, Wu Hao was also very happy under the gap between the two, and his attitude towards Anthony, who had always looked at him very unhappy, was much better than before.
After Wu Hao's confirmation, everyone was silent.
The corpses of the secret sentinels in the outer dense forests have long been inspected by the two thieves in the team one by one, and the more than ten corpses that fell to death at the explosive poison trap have also been carefully examined by Anthony and others, otherwise it is only five people, and if they are given ten courages, they will not dare to approach the camp directly, and it is not surprising if they are attacked and all killed.
Together with the 13 corpses in the camp, nearly 40 defectors were killed, but not a single one of them were killed.
Even if it is a small team's results, it is really terrible.
Not to mention that it's just one person who does it all.
Originally, there was no trace of Wu Hao, and everyone in the outpost unit thought that most of the people in front of him couldn't hold on to retreating, or they didn't know where to hide to make soy sauce, but they never expected that they would kill so many defectors by themselves.
A few more would wipe out an entire squad.
Suddenly, every look at Wu Hao's eyes changed.
From ancient times to the present in the world of Azeroth, every kingdom has a culture of worship of the strong, and even more so the soldiers who are fighting on the front line of life and death, so there will be those heroes who can greatly boost morale and lead the army to victory in local wars with a single shout, and every hero grows up slowly by relying on amazing deeds again and again when the statement is not obvious.
Wu Hao, who was unharmed in front of him, had obviously done the same deeds as those heroes when they were young.
This was just his first battle!
Almost instantly, Anthony and the other four outpost soldiers, in the past, were hostile and disdainful to Wu Hao for bringing women to the army, and most of the nobles' children's playful behavior, turned into sincere respect, the aristocratic children with erosive private lives were disgusted by the soldiers, and the heroes with erosive private lives were the idols that everyone aspired to worship.
Wu Hao didn't know what a few people thought.
"Is there water and food? Give it to me. Wu Hao, who was relaxed, felt that he was hungry and thirsty, and the dry food and water he brought with him during the battle were not much, and the food he saved along the way was long gone, and the little thing he ate when he was resting just now not only failed to fill his stomach, but made him feel even more hungry: "I'm really hungry, haha." β
Anthony hurriedly went to pick up his bags: "Yes, there are many!" β
Crunch..
The monkey was so anxious that he took the water and food, and Wu Hao, who had just gobbled up a piece of bread and was looking up to drink water, suddenly heard the familiar sound of drawing the bow, and the nerves that had not been fighting for a long time were tensed violently, and he turned his head to look at the side while dodging, and found that it was actually a hunter standing in the back, who was pulling the bow against his original position.
Wu Hao was shocked in his heart, and then reacted that he was not attacking himself.
Following the direction of the hunter's bow and arrow, Wu Hao turned his gaze and saw that one of the civilian women who had fled to the corner of the camp in a panic when he showed his figure and beckoned Anthony and the others to come over, had an arrow nailed into her forehead, and the whole person fell to the ground as if she had been hit head-on by a sledgehammer.
Yes!
The other civilian women screamed.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Wu Hao was both surprised and angry: "They..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw another hunter, who was also full of bows and ready to shoot, Wu Hao's conditioned reflex A shadow step appeared behind the hunter, kicked him to the ground with a heavy kick, and then before everyone could react, he put the sword in his left hand on Anthony's neck.
Only then did the others respond, grabbing their weapons and looking at Wu Hao nervously.
"Are you crazy?!" Wu Hao threw away the food: "They are not defectors!" β
"Uh..." Anthony didn't seem to expect Wu Hao's actions at all, and after a few seconds of stunned, he waved his hand calmly, and after signaling his companion to put away his weapon, he looked at Wu Hao with a strange smile and replied word by word: "According to the laws of the kingdom and the rules of the legion, these civilians who fund defectors must all be executed." β
It's a fantasy!
"Funding?! What the hell are you talking about! Wu Hao shouted: "They are all victims." β
The provisions of the law of the Lordaeron Kingdom, Wu Hao is naturally very clear.
The village was destroyed by the defectors, the family members were killed by the defectors, the captured civilian women, and the defectors were wantonly humiliated, and many of them have been brutally killed, no matter from which point of view, they have absolutely nothing to do with funding the enemy, but Wu Hao did not see any of them in the eyes of the five outpost soldiers.
It's outrageous!
"Legion Order? Why didn't anyone tell me? Wu Hao looked at Anthony coldly.
Facing Wu Hao, who was in anger and seemed to be killing the killer if there was a problem with the conversation, Anthony did not have the undisguised contempt and disdain in the barracks before, but said with a very careful wry smile: "That's because Ensign William, you went over.... Even Squadron Leader Marlan would choose to do so. β
Because I used to be like a gentleman, right?
Wu Hao understood what the other party meant.
"I didn't care what you did before, but now in front of me..." Wu Hao was stunned before he finished speaking.
Just now, he was very happy because of the arrival of friendly troops, and he felt very hungry and was busy asking for food and water, but now under his sight, Wu Hao found that every soldier, including Anthony, had a different number of human heads hanging on the buttocks behind the saddle of the war horse, and all of them were women in terms of appearance and hair length.
After the battle, cutting off the head counts the merits, Wu Hao has long known it.
On the battlefield where the enemy fights, there is no special person to calculate the results, the soldiers who fight desperately kill the enemy, want to prove that they have indeed made achievements, the best proof is undoubtedly the enemy's head, otherwise who knows if you are cowardly after a battle, the calculation method of the average result is only for a specific group of people who form a battle array.
Wu Hao can also understand this.
After all, even in ancient China in the previous life, the soldiers relied on this way to calculate their merits.
But this scene in front of me undoubtedly shows that those civilian women who ran out of the camp before were killed by these people from the outpost, that is to say, those women who originally thought that they would run away by death were actually not exactly afraid of defectors, but also their own cadres as the regular army of the kingdom, etc.?!
How so? Shouldn't a soldier be a savior?!
The huge difference in concept made Wu Hao lose his mind, and he almost couldn't bear the idea of killing Anthony and the others on the spot, and it took a lot of strength to suppress the killing intent, and while slowly retracting the long sword, he almost gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You all quit for me!" What to wait until Marlan arrives! Get lost! β
