Under the moonlight, several pairs of green eyes in the distance flickered like ghostly fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Combined with the sound of wolf howling, it is enough to make people's hairs fall upside down.

"Wolves?"

Wu Ming looked at the giant wolf that was gradually revealing its body under the moonlight, his face was solemn, and he clenched the long sword in his hand.

What appeared in front of him was a giant wolf half a man tall! The hair is shiny and the body is huge, like a half-large foal.

The hard claws, sharp fangs, and thick fur all speak of the horror of these killing machines.

"It's normal to have wild wolves nearby, but I don't go to the battlefield and come to me......"

Wu Ming was very sad for his bad luck: "Come on! ”

He held the sword in both hands, and the tip of the broken sword pointed at the ground, diagonally pulling an arc.

"Woo ......"

The three-seated wolf let out a whimper in its mouth and began to circle around Wu Ming, obviously also discovering that the prey was not easy to mess with.

They roar demonstratively, roaring and intimidating in the hope that their prey will flee out of fear, when they can follow behind, using pressure and wolf pack tactics to drain the prey and minimize the risk.

But at this time, Wu Ming didn't give them this chance at all.

On the contrary, he waited for him, his eyes as warm as water, as if he had seen through everything.

"Whew!"

I don't know how long the confrontation lasted, but suddenly, accompanied by a wolf howl that sounded almost simultaneously, the three wolves pounced from different directions, and launched an attack with great tacit cooperation.

"It's now!"

Wu Ming dragged the long sword, suddenly turned around, and the iron sword drew a graceful arc in mid-air, slashing at the necks of wolves.

Burst!

There was not a trace of rust on the iron sword, it was evident that it had been polished before the battle, and the blade was notched, but it was very sharp, and it pierced the wolf's neck with difficulty, cutting through the tough, thick fur, and caught in the steel bones.

Blood is surging!

Two strong winds came behind him, with the smell of a fishy beast, obviously Wu Ming put on the most effortless and complete posture, and the first move he could occupy was just to slash and kill a wolf first.

The more dangerous it was, the more calmly he drew his sword, turned around, and crossed! The whole person stepped backwards and unloaded.

Bang!

A huge impact came, causing Wu Ming to retreat again and again, feeling as if the iron sword in his hand had fallen into the iron tongs.

He twisted his wrist, and the back of his hand seemed to rub against a rough, warm tongue, and kicked it out again.

Disheveled!

The soft touch came, as if he had kicked a thick piece of leather, Wu Ming took advantage of this power, and hurriedly flew back a few steps, re-opened his posture, his breathing was slightly heavy, and stared at the wolf in front of him.

I saw that one of the wolves was bleeding from the neck and had fallen to the ground, and the other one was also grinning, and a blood line was faintly visible passing next to the wolf's kiss.

The last wolf licked its fangs, which were a little bloody.

Wu Ming looked at the arm holding his sword, and saw that his clothes were torn, and a shallow wound appeared on it—if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, one arm would have been left behind.

"If there is no supernatural force such as internal force and true qi to support, this kind of fighting and hunting technique is to pay attention to a fast word! There is no possibility of fighting for three days and three nights......"

Wu Ming adjusted his breathing, flipped the blade of his sword, and aimed it at the remaining two wolves.

If the strength of the individual is not extraordinary, the knight must take three horses with him, one for his own ride, and one for spare, and the last one is specially equipped with his own armor.

When it was time to go into battle, you had to be helped by an attendant before you could put on your armor, and you would be exhausted if you participated in the battle for no more than twenty minutes.

The same is true in nature.

William's body, which has not exercised much, in such a highly tense mental environment, under the full force of a blow, at most a few more swords, it will be completely unable to support it, and he will be slaughtered.

But Wu Ming seized the opportunity, and with just a sword, he got rid of the wolves.

The way of life and death is in this moment!

"Whew!"

The confrontation between man and wolf lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Finally, the two wolves roared, and seemed to realize that there was no chance to take down their prey, and slowly retreated.

Wu Ming maintained the posture of holding the sword, and only when the turquoise light had disappeared from the darkness did he breathe a sigh of relief, and half-sat on the ground, and was also very happy in his heart.

"Fortunately, it's just three lone wolves, otherwise...... If you meet wolves......"

With his current strength, it is very difficult to deal with the three-seater wolf, and if he encounters a wolf pack, he doesn't need to think about it and knows that the possibility of turning into a pile of white skeletons is very high.

At that time, his plan to send him into this universe at a huge cost will be completely frustrated.

And this attack also gave Wu Ming a wake-up call.

"Now I am not the immortal before...... It's better to find a safe place first and wait until daytime before you go! ”

……

The next day, Wu Ming got up early, walked in the dew, and finally saw the outline of the small town of Nia at dusk.

The princes of the Wind Firefly Plain chose a battlefield that was very close, just on the edge of their homes.

Otherwise, the expedition of thousands of people will be a catastrophe in terms of travel and logistics alone.

The town of Nia was built on the edge of a small river, surrounded by a ring of low wooden walls, several arrow towers, from which archers could be seen looking.

The news of Baron Terry's defeat had come early, and the town had been plunged into an atmosphere of unease.

Wu Ming looked at the town gate and did not enter directly, but silently lurked to the side and waited for another day.

It wasn't until he saw a few familiar faces, who entered the town in a panic, and didn't seem to be treated harshly, that he swaggered to the gate of the town.

"Who? Hey? ”

The soldiers on patrol looked at Wu Ming, and a sincere smile suddenly appeared on their faces: "Isn't this Xiao William?" I heard that you were stabbed on the battlefield, and poor Aunt Roa cried for you! ”

"The spear didn't hit me, I just fainted...... Anyway, thanks for the greetings, Ryan! ”

Wu Ming flipped through his memory, found the name of this freckled patrol guard, and smiled.

"Soldier !!"

At this moment, from the back of the town, a burst of shouting came, causing Wu Ming's eardrums to buzz, and Ryan straightened his chest even more reflexively: "Sir! ”

"Go back to your post!"

A middle-aged man slowly walked out from behind the door and looked Wu Ming up and down.

He has curly blond hair, blue eyes like the sea, the stubble on his face has not been shaved clean, there is a rough taste, the whole person is like a golden lion, and he also wears a half-body leather armor, the leather boots on his feet are polished, and a stabbing sword with a gauntlet is pinned to his waist.

"Good day, Chief Rorian!"

An instinctive stir in Wu Ming's body made his eyes narrow slightly.

In his memory, this person was Baron Terry's martial arts instructor, and he had also taken over the training of their militia, and he was very meticulous, and William was once whipped a few times by him because he was late, which is very fresh in his memory.

"William, you're back?"

Rorian put his hands behind his back and moved like a restless male teacher: "I've heard others say about you, you're not a deserter, and you're not captured, it's good!" Lived up to my expectations! ”

It seemed to be an illusion, and in his eyes, Wu Ming seemed to see a trace of approval.

"Of course...... There are some things that we can't decide now, so come with me...... In the City Lord's Mansion, there are people who want to meet you and hear more news......"

Rorian walked directly in front, and Wu Ming had no choice but to follow, and asked tentatively: "Lord Baron...... Are you back? ”

"According to old Pete, no!"

A hint of inexplicable arc appeared at the corner of Rorian's mouth: "Lord Baron is very valiant and rushed to the front...... He was wounded and captured! ”

Wu Ming suddenly had the impression of Baron Terry.

It doesn't matter whether the emaciated, even sickly pale baron was heroic or not, but for the sake of his armor inlaid with gold and silver, whoever his opponent was, knew that this was a very valuable captive, and he would not be harmed.

"Instructor...... After this time, what will happen to the Wind Firefly Plains? ”

Wu Ming couldn't help asking.

Rorian turned his head with some strangeness and looked at William.

If it had been him, he wouldn't have asked this question.

"Probably...... It's still the same as before! ”

Half a day later, Rorian couldn't give a positive answer, and could only guess: "According to the sacred covenant, nobles cannot be exterminated, so our feudal lord should be released after paying the price and swearing allegiance to Viscount Garcia...... Of course, it may be necessary to cede some territories and even send a few hostages...... But so what? ”

The implication is that neither the hostages nor the territory are their property.

But Wu Ming secretly rolled his eyes: "If the ransom is too high, the baron will inevitably increase taxes when he returns, and none of the people under his rule will be able to escape......

Of course, there is no need to talk about this at this time.

Baron Terry's family, who were supposed to live in the castle.

As a symbol of domination, the Baron's Castle was supposed to be built in an easily defended place, with walls made of thick masonry to withstand the attacks of thousands of troops.

However, in the present conditions, such a castle is safe, but it is cold and damp, and Baron Terry, who loves luxury and pleasure, still likes to live in Nia with his family.

At this time, as Wu Ming and Trian walked to the mansion, they were surprised to find that the carriages were nervously preparing, and the grandmother and maid were carefully holding fox fur coats and dresses, looking busy.

It is clear that by this time, the Baroness had sensed the uneasiness of the town and decided to move back to the castle.
