Chapter 555: Rescue (6800 Supplement)
"Rescue?"
Henry exclaimed in surprise and looked at Wu Ming with incredible eyes: "Are you crazy?" ”
"I'm not crazy!"
Wu Ming said calmly: "Since you have chosen so, you are naturally certain to a certain extent, but look at you!" What do they look like when they are all downcast? ”
In the camp, there were still a few soldiers who had escaped, and at this time they had lost most of their equipment, looking very embarrassed and decadent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the blonde Arthur and several captains of the soldiers were nowhere to be seen, and it was not known whether they were dead or had simply fled all the way back to Nienia.
Thinking of Arthur, Wu Ming's gaze suddenly became gloomy.
He vaguely felt that this person was targeted, if the other party did not die this time, and he failed to return to Nia Town, the end would definitely not be too good.
Moreover, he came out this time, but in order to improve his status and get close to the high-level, isn't there an opportunity now?
Although if he had worked a little harder last night, it was not impossible to break through with Knight Thakur with him, but such a favor would have been small.
How could it be more impressive than when he was about to be devoured by ogres, saved in despair and despair?
Since you have to choose, you naturally have to choose the path that maximizes your benefits.
So it was then, and it is so now.
Wu Ming scolded and scolded to boost the morale of the gang, and stepped forward again to bandage the wounds of each wounded soldier and save lives.
With his single-handed knowledge of herbology and the treatment of external injuries, he naturally quickly stabilized the injuries of several seriously injured people and won the respect of the entire team.
After all, this is a favor obtained by saving the life and helping the wounded with his own hands.
After counting, there were now thirteen people in the camp, full of unlucky numbers, three seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly injured, but they did not affect the movement much.
After a brief meal, Wu Ming once again announced his intention to rescue the Takur Knight, and asked in a deep voice, "Who wants to be with me?" ”
Seeing the somewhat confused faces around him, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "What are we coming out for?" Do you want to go back so disgraced? ”
"Think about who Lord Thakur is? If you send him back, what will he give in return? ”
Wu Ming is not suitable to be a speaker, but what he says is based on the interests of everyone, so he is also very impressive.
But there is still a big problem standing in front of everyone.
"It's just...... That's a bunch of ogres, at least hundreds! ”
A low voice came, with fear.
The townspeople grew up listening to the horror legends of ogres, and while they weren't too afraid of losing their lives on the battlefield, they were afraid of being eaten alive by ogres!
Legend has it that the souls of humans who are eaten by ogres will be forever confined to purgatory, tormented by fire and ice.
It is also rumored that those ogres can imprison the souls of the dead, imprison them on their original bones and teeth, and turn them into their own power.
……
Wu Ming obviously also knew the fear of the ogre, so he made a promise: "Don't worry, before you act, I will tell you all the plans, and it will not be feasible for you to choose when the time comes!" Who would want to? ”
"Me!"
Andrew got up, and the man smiled, pulling the scar on his face: "I have an account, and I need to settle it with those little cubs!" ”
"And me!"
A silent man stepped forward: "You saved my brother's life, I want to repay your kindness!" ”
After seeing the two of them make a choice, Henry hesitated for a moment, but still walked over: "I believe in you, boss!" ”
"Can you promise that we will give the plan out in its entirety and that we have the power to pull out at short notice?"
Another mercenary stepped forward, and it was Haim, who had the qualifications of a bard.
"I promise!"
Wu Ming replied in a deep voice.
"In that case......"
Heim smiled brightly, revealing some yellowed teeth: "I'm joining!" ”
As for the others, they didn't have any intention of moving anymore, and Wu Ming immediately made a decision to let them take the seriously injured and start their return journey.
……
"What's your name?"
Wu Ming and the five of them rested and began to set foot on the road, he looked at the second big man who joined in loud, the other party was wearing leather armor, not the original mercenary, but a figure among the soldiers.
"Gail!"
The big man smiled and looked very honest: "They all call me thick!" ”
"Won't you escort your brother back?"
Wu Ming asked his doubts: "On this way, it is not stable......"
"Our brother has three, and he promises to send him back to Nia Town safe and sound!" Gail said: "Gail owes you a life, and he will pay it back!" ”
"Good!"
The road was easier to walk during the day, and it didn't take long for them to see the village of yesterday.
The village is clearer under the sun, and there is curling green smoke rising.
"Those ogres, they haven't gone yet!"
Several people were lying on the hill, looking at the nearly 100 savages in the village, all of them were terrified.
"What are they doing?"
Wu Ming asked with some puzzlement as he watched the wild man light the fire and start some kind of ritual.
"They are sacrificing and praying!"
It was Andrew who said this, and he watched the scene as if he was caught in some kind of emotion: "Ogres worship the god of flames and firmly believe that they will gain the power of those who are eaten, so they will make the best prey into ornaments and hang them around their necks......"
Wu Ming suddenly thought of the savages he saw yesterday, on their necks, there were beads made of teeth and bones, full of the taste of barbarism and blood.
"Knight Thakur shouldn't have died as long as he wasn't killed on the spot!"
Andrew affirmed with his experience: "In the eyes of ogres, soldiers in leather armor are good food, and knights in thick iron armor are the best sacrifices, and they will not be consumed easily......"
"It's not a thing to celebrate!"
Henry glanced sympathetically at Andrew next to him.
Obviously, he was wondering if this companion had also had the dark experience of being captured by ogres.
"Alright...... Chief! ”
Heim was beside him, but he chuckled, "I'm here, should I tell us about your plans?" ”
He spoke out as soon as he spoke, and immediately attracted the attention of several people.
"My plan is simple, just wait!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Ming's mouth.
"Wait?"
Several people's eyes were a little puzzled.
"According to Andrew, Thakur is their most precious trophy, and it will definitely not be consumed immediately, but will be taken back to the clan, right?"
Wu Ming looked at Andrew.
"Not bad!"
Andrew nodded: "Thakur will be given preferential treatment until the other captives are eaten......"
"These ogres have gained so many captives in this battle, they will inevitably be escorted back to the clan, what we have to choose is a path, create chaos, it is best to set off a wave among the captives and take the opportunity to snatch out the knight!"
Wu Ming spread out his hands.
"So...... Who is responsible for creating chaos? ”
Heim snorted uneasily.
"I propose, naturally I will go, and you can just choose to support by the side when the time comes...... Also, bring the knight's original horse, we need it! ”
The knight of Thakur originally brought three horses out, but in order to sneak attack, they were all placed in the camp, although the others needed to transport the wounded, but Wu Ming still detained one, which is used now.
Even if the knights of Thakur were rescued, it was conceivable that one of them would be seriously wounded and that they would have to carry him back to the town of Niah, which would be a nightmare for anyone without a single livestock.
"Who's in charge of watching the horses?"
Henry asked suddenly.
"Gail, can I trust you?"
Wu Ming looked at the thick brown eyes.
"I owe you my life!"
Gail stared at Wu Ming with his eyes and said directly.
……
Squeak! Squeak!
The planks grinded against the ground, and a loud thud lingered around him, causing Thakur to narrow.
His head was groggy, his body felt like he didn't belong to him anymore, the blue sky seemed to be spinning, and there were many figures around him.
"Where's my armor? Where is the long sword......"
He wanted to open his mouth, but found that the action had become extremely difficult, and the only thing that was visible was his own armor, which had been scattered and worn on the bodies of several barbarians, regardless of whether they fit or not, and even wore them backwards or by mistake, looking like a clown performing a burlesque, which made people want to laugh very much.
But Thakur couldn't laugh.
He remembered last night's attack, the firelight, the cold arrow at a tricky angle, and the last ogre.
Yes, he was captured! Captured by a group of ogres!
"O gods......"
He sighed silently in his heart, knowing his next fate.
Ogres are not nobles, nor bandits, they have no interest in ransom, the only thing they care about is him!
The end of being eaten alive made Thakur shudder.
"My soul...... My Family...... No...... A knight should die honorably on the battlefield, how can he accept such a disgraceful death? ”
He struggled, praying to all the gods who could think of names.
Neither the old gods, nor the new gods, nor the gods of mountains, nor the gods of forests, nor even the ogre's god of flames, there was no response.
At this time, even if a devil reaches out to help in hell, he will accept it without hesitation.
However, no matter how much he prayed, there was no reaction at all.
The god who had admired him, blessed him in the church, and made a covenant, did not respond in the slightest.
Terrible despair enveloped poor Knight Thakur at once.
"Jie Ji ......"
At this time, the surrounding ogres seemed to notice that he had come to his senses, surrounded him, and fed him a bright red flower.
He couldn't resist at all, only felt a sour taste emanate from his taste buds.
"Damn ogres, it's devil flowers!"
A thought came to mind, and Thakur became even more desperate.
But at this moment, there was a commotion ahead!
