Chapter 175. The Black-robed Overseer's choice
"How so? We were defeated! ”
A swamp baron's personal guard stared blankly at the battlefield in front of him, the originally barely neat phalanx of water thieves now began to collapse and collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he looked at the front blankly, still in disbelief in his heart: "We were defeated like this?" ”
He was asking, and he seemed to be muttering to himself, turning his head to look at the few guards who had a better relationship around him, as the captain of a hundred people in this battle, as the most critical commander, but now they were facing their own water thieves began to break and flee, and even the enemy's line could not be broken, of course they were puzzled, of course they couldn't believe it, they had more than a thousand people, more than a thousand of the most fierce and ferocious water thieves, and they were defeated like this?
The chain mail on his body was already extremely heavy, even the scimitar in his hand was like a thousand pounds, and he turned his head to look at the few friends next to him who were also sluggish, and there was a little unwillingness in his eyes, and he trembled and said hoarsely: "It shouldn't be like this!" ”
"We should sweep Cape Town, it shouldn't be like this!"
He muttered to himself over and over again, with anger and emotional catharsis on his face, turned his head to stare at the figure not far away who had taken the initiative to hide to the back before the battle, walked over and grabbed his clothes fiercely, and roared loudly: "Is it you!" Did you collude with the troops of Cape Town! ”
The figure's face was still calm, but there was also sluggishness and disbelief in his eyes, even if he was being carried on his chest fiercely, he turned his head to look at the phalanx that had completely collapsed not far away, at least eight or nine hundred sailors were fleeing in all directions, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he only felt that his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say anything at all!
"Kit, you damn thing, I knew you couldn't have escaped so easily, why did you get out?!"
The 100-man guard leader was already staring at the guy in his hand frantically, his pupils were bloodshot, and he was almost crazy to stare at the guy in his hand, trying to find a reason for himself, looking at the guards around him and roaring loudly: "It's this damn guy, it's this damn Kit, this damn traitor betrayed us and leaked our information to the army of Cape Town, so we will be defeated!" ”
"Kill him! Kill him! The surrounding guards were also red-eyed, and the sound of heavy breathing also appeared in their heaving chests, and they all looked at Kit with wide eyes and gritted their teeth, and the scimitar in their hands had been withdrawn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's none of my business."
Kit, who was carried, finally reacted, but after he had already suffered a total annihilation, his face no longer had the original panic, but was still numb, and he even looked at this group of hysterical guards in his eyes, a little revenge-like happiness.
But his breathing was still a little shorter, looking at the scimitar that was almost attached to his neck, the inlaid iron hook in his left hand was also directly blocked, with the sound of metal, Kit barely broke free from the hands of the hundred guards of the guard, watching them grit their teeth and said angrily: "What we need to do now is to regather the troops, we still have a chance, after all, even if our numbers collapse, we are still in an advantage!" ”
"you!"
But the captain of the guard slapped Kit to the ground with a fierce slap, looking at his left hand that dared to block the scimitar, and his big foot in thick cowhide boots also stepped on it heavily, crushing it condescendingly, and the madness and hysteria in his eyes almost made him lose his mind: "Do you think you are really the commander?" Here you traitor, you can't say anything at all, it's all us who command for the Marsh Baron, what are you?! ”
These four or five guards who were the captains of a hundred people were already hysterical, this action that was originally thought to be very easy, but now they suffered a catastrophe, 1,500 fierce water thieves, the loss of fifty-five light warships, even if the Ketuv River thieves were pressed and beaten by the Sama City River patrol team before!
This is already the main force of the Ketuff River Bandit Gang, and the destruction of this main force has also proved that they can no longer control the Ketuff River, their previous efforts to destroy the river patrol team and capture the outer harbor area are all in vain, and even they have to worry about the safety of the Swamp, because after the 1,500 water thieves break up on the spot, even if someone can go back, it will be a great loss to the Ketuff River Bandits.
All of them are only more than 3,000 people, distributed in various strongholds on the Ketuv River and on the island in the middle of the lake, and now they have lost nearly half of the main force, which has proved that they have completely lost the initiative in the Ketuv River, unless they shrink their forces as soon as possible, they will be broken one by one and even the island in the middle of the lake can not stand it.
And all because now, their 1,500 water thieves were slaughtered miserably, and they had an unpredictable rout in an instant!
So they need to urgently find a scapegoat, even if Kit doesn't have command authority at all, but according to the Marsh Baron, Kit, who used to be the deputy captain of the river patrol team, as the commander of this campaign, is already a standard scapegoat.
Because this group of guards is nominally Kitt's subordinates, even if they don't take this guy with his broken left arm in their eyes at all, but now they have to admit that Kit is their commander, and this battle is Kitt who led them into an ambush, and it is even possible that this damned traitor has already colluded with the army of Cape Town, so as to explain why they were defeated so quickly.
"That's enough."
While they were arguing hysterically, the black-robed man who had already stood there indifferently behind him spoke softly, and the purple rattan cane in his hand slowly stretched out, but looking at the group of fleeing water thieves, the eyes under the hood were also deeply disdainful, and he put away the cane again, and lightly reprimanded the water thieves and guards: "Let's go back, do you want to die here?" ”
The group of water thieves in front of them were like the most timid marmots, being rampaged by a small number of lions in the crowd, and there was no determination to resist at all, even if one or two water thieves wanted to fight back, but they were stabbed to death on the spot by those flintlock pistols with bayonets.
The black-robed man's breathing was also slightly short, and his foreknowledge of danger made him not have too many thoughts of staying here, he turned his head to look at the denser forest, and narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly exhaled and said: "Stay here to find death, but I think you all have an explanation for dying here, but I don't have to bear any responsibility." ”
"Responsibility, account?"
And the few guards who had forced Kit on the edge of the Yuqiao River had a bit of ferocity and ruin on their faces, and they were already hopeless about the future, and they suddenly had a sense of urgency, clenched the scimitar in their hands, and moved their steps towards the black-robed man.
"What do you want to do?"
And the black-robed man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his height, which was faintly taller than this group of people, was also extremely abrupt, and the purple rattan cane that was put away slowly stretched out under the black robe, and the pearls that shimmered with a faint light on it became more and more dazzling, and his voice was also mocking: "Do you want to kill people and kill people?" Do you really think I don't understand anything? ”
Having been defeated, this group of Guards Captains as commanders are of course exempt from responsibility, but this does not mean that they can erase some key responsibilities, such as why they were defeated, and when they are killed, Kit, the commander-in-chief, and this mysterious Overseer, perhaps the explanation becomes reasonable.
So they had already secretly surrounded this mysterious black-robed Overseer, one by one glanced at each other, and also looked at the slightly shiny pearl with fear, they had already guessed the true identity of the Overseer in front of them, but they did not have the slightest intention of stopping, but directly raised their scimitars and slashed at the body under the black robe!
"Damn it!"
The staff in the black-robed Overseer's hand instantly lit up, the golden fine lines flashed brightly, and a cyan tornado seemed to be a shield, and the figure he dodged just staggered the three scimitars that slashed at him.
His face was gloomy, and he briefly spit out a few words like a spell in his mouth, the pearl at the top of the staff became brighter and brighter, and at the same time, a cyan wind was also hovering at the top of his staff, but when he looked at the group of water thieves in front of him, he snorted coldly with disdain, and wanted to continue casting spells, but a slight collapse suddenly appeared in his ears, and before he could react, a sharp pain had appeared in his lower abdomen.
"Format... Standard crossbows? ”
A crossbow arrow had been pierced in the lower abdomen, and he looked down at the bloody arrow, and his face under the hood was also unwilling and resentful, and he reluctantly turned his head to look behind him, and a captain of the hundred guards still held the well-made war crossbow in his hand.
A wave of resentment emanated from his chest, and the mana that was about to get out of control also completely lost control with the sharp pain in his lower abdomen, sweeping over the surrounding guards who were still smiling and seemed to have succeeded in their tricks, and they also roared unwillingly, and the cyan whirlwind at the top of the staff rushed towards the surroundings fiercely, and the cyan wind marks were like a flywheel, fiercely cutting the few slightly relaxed guard centurions.
And Kit, who was by the Yuqiao River, looked at the cyan wind marks that had been fiercely radiating towards the surroundings, and with determination in his eyes, he jumped into the Yuqiao River full of planks and blood without hesitation.
The mysterious black-robed spellcaster didn't care that Kit didn't die by jumping into the Yuqiao River, but when he saw that the group of 100 guards around him had all died, he also gritted his teeth, and said to himself with a quick breath: "No... I can't die here..."
He looked at the Ketufu River thief who had completely collapsed and fled, and he was also barely supporting his body, enduring the sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and fiercely pulled out the crossbow arrow in the direction from which it was fired, aimed the staff at his lower abdomen, and recited a few strange short sentences, as the blood that had soaked through his clothes gradually decreased, and his face gradually appeared a little bloody.
Just wanted to retreat towards the forest, but it seemed that he remembered something, looking at the conspicuous black robe on his body and the purple staff in his hand, he threw it all down without hesitation, quickly took off the clothes of the dead guard centurion, focused on wrapping his head, and also found a wooden stick and walked quickly towards the forest.
