The sound of majestic horses' hooves played drums on the earth, and the mournful and vigorous neighing and shouting echoed over the empty grassland. The wedge-shaped horse's head with a broad forehead is matched with a slender and muscular body. In terms of image alone, the opponent's mount is more than a notch better than the horse under Barrett's crotch.

The uniform metal tayne helmet, oiled light chain mail dazzles in the sun. And on the light crossbow that the opponent had already raised and aimed, the cold light of the conical crossbow pierced Barrett's scalp.

'These horse thieves aren't drawing in the right style......,' Barrett immediately thought to him. Then he fell sideways, hiding himself on the side of the horse. Barrett, who then drew the horn from his waist, was about to give a signal, when a dull horn sound came from the other end of the caravan.

"Damn! Are these guys acting separately? Barrett looked up and glared angrily at the approaching horse thieves, and then still blew the horn in his hand, "Uh-"

In the two sirens that sounded one after another, Mr. Josephine, who was originally sitting in the center, turned slightly purple: "Do those damn guys actually think we are soft-footed shrimps?" Hum! Even the three major horse thieves in the Malkin grassland region dare not say that they will eat us. How much water is in the brains of those newcomers!"

According to the information he received earlier, Mr. Josephine had already expected this alarm. Although he expressed considerable disdain for the attacker who set off the alarm in his words, his subsequent reaction was not slow.

Guided by a philosophy similar to 'despise the enemy strategically, but attach importance to the enemy tactically,' Mr. Josephine immediately summoned his men and began to set up the task. Then the entire caravan was like a steam turbine after ignition, and it began to fly according to the pre-rehearsed routine.

Often a short whistle sounded from the center of the Boreham caravan, and the small caravans seeking refuge behind them immediately knew what they should do. The scouts of the Boreham Chamber of Commerce began to rush from all directions where the alarm was first heard. The guards and insurers who accompanied the caravan also began to draw their weapons and surround the caravan's perimeter.

At the same time, the small chambers of commerce were now also beginning to make busy personnel movements, and private guards on horseback hurriedly patrolled the front and back of their caravans. Both were intended to counter a direct attack that the attackers might have on the main body of the caravan.

Although no one thought that the attackers would be able to ransack their own commercial cluster heading to the Northlands. However, how to avoid the possible losses in the battle is the test of the level of the merchants - strengthening the vigilance to prevent being caught off guard by a sneak attack is one of the simple and effective basic countermeasures.

The members of the Bloodstained Gray Flower Team also participated in the preservation work under the command of the guards at this time. Like other adventurer squads, they were given the improvised task of being a point of support on the caravan's side of the defense. The range is centered on the caravan you are riding in, and it is about 1o-2o meters in front and behind.

As a shooter, Bena wanted to climb on the roof of the caravan to occupy a good sniper position, but Mario on the side quickly reached out and grabbed her: "Don't go up, the enemy we have to deal with now is not the previous goblins." ”

"That's right! Although the roof of the car is an excellent shooting position, it also greatly restricts Bena's movements. As far as I know, most of the horse thieves are very good at bowing their horses, and I am afraid that there is no advantage for Bena to shoot like that. Rielly flipped through the book in her hand, and didn't lift her head to the side.

After the two of them stopped Bena's reckless move, they saw Bena pointing to the carriage with a surprised face. At this time, the noodle boy appeared, and now he actually squatted under the caravan with the crossbow that Rielly had replaced earlier. I saw that he used the wheels of the caravan as a cover, and aimed his well-wound crossbow outward, as if he could shoot at the incoming enemy at any moment.

"You don't want me to hide under the car like a noodle, do you?" Bena's apricot eyes widened and she stretched out her hand to point to the location of the noodles, not giving Mario a good face at all: "This—this is too embarrassing!" If that's the case, you might as well let me die. ”

The red-faced noodles poked their heads out from under the car, waving their little hands in protest against what Bena had just described: "Hey! Feed! Bena, don't be messy about defining other people's behavior! What is there to be ashamed of here, it is obviously good to make full use of my own advantages to integrate into the surrounding environment. ”

At this time, the parrot hurriedly walked between the two who were glaring, and started a circle: "Noodle, with your size and the weapon you use, of course there is no problem in making such a choice. But can you imagine Bena crouching under the carriage and shooting arrows? ”

"Whew-" As if he had sketched out the appearance of Bena curled up under the carriage in his head, Noodle couldn't help but laugh like this. Anvil and Laru's faces were similarly full of smiles.

Facing the teasing gaze that surrounded her, Bena waved her fist in annoyance: "Laugh again!" If you laugh again, it will make you look good. ”

There was a crisp snap, and the whip in Rielly's hand threw a whip flower in the air. Retracting the whip, she clasped her hands on her chest and scolded, "How long are you going to make trouble? The attackers may be on the verge of seeing them soon, where do they have so much spare time. Don't hurry up and get me in place. Are you going to wait a little while for the Aboriginal guards to come and save you? ”

"Right away! Right away! "Miss Mage's threat seems to have had some effect. The players who were already bickering immediately stopped this behavior and began to quickly choose their respective positions.

The player's sense of superiority makes them instinctively repelled by the fact that they are being saved by the aborigines - and most importantly, they probably feel ashamed! If someone really had such a situation, I am afraid that in the future, people in the team will be teased at any time.

While his companions in the caravan were busy preparing, Barrett, who was at the forefront of the battle, had already begun their first contact with the speeding attackers.

The bowstring vibrated and three crossbow bolts flew towards Barrett in a zigzag shape. Barrett tilted his head slightly at the sound, only to see the three arrows fly in his field of vision.

"Is that the level?" Barrett's disdainful expression appeared on his face at once, and then he looked like a casual swing - the scimitar cut off one of the crossbow bolts. The remaining two Barretts ignored them, and then they grazed the top of Barrett's head and flew somewhere.

'Good riding!' But this archery is not very good...... But in this way, it is a little difficult to judge whether the other party is a player or an aborigine? Barrett now had failed to achieve his purpose of hiding in the first place.

Barrett had previously hid himself on the side of his horse to test the enemy's fighting skills. The principle of shooting a man first a horse is universal everywhere. In situations where it is difficult to target the enemy, it is important to prioritize shooting the mount under the opponent's crotch.

Not to mention the possibility of the rider being injured and taking off the rider and falling to his death. The mere loss of the mount's mobility advantage for the other side is enough to seal the victory of the entire battle. However, judging from the final result, whether the other party did not think of this or the level of shooting was insufficient. All show that Barrett's enemies were not a group of qualified aboriginal horse archers.

If the other side were players, their skillful riding skills and the ability to re-string them with their crossbow arms on horseback could not be developed in a day or two - unless they had a good hand at riding in reality.

But in the real environment, the guys who can have these leisure abilities are usually the upper class who have a lot of money. Whether you will act as a horse thief in the game is really unlikely, it is really unlikely that so many rich people will be gathered at one time.

Although there are constant doubts in his head, Barrett's work is not slow. With a hard kick in the horse's belly, he stepped forward, and then staggered past the thief's team.

A drop of blood on the scimitar accompanied a horse thief clutching his right arm and tumbling off his horse. And Barrett's leather jacket also left a scratch mark. The use of the cuirass underneath the leather jacket was part of Barrett's tactics. Luckily, it didn't disappoint Barrett and managed to block the enemy's blade.

Barrett, who had succeeded in his hand, then unleashed his hands and turned the horse's head with only his legs. Then he retracted the scimitar and replaced it with a bow in his left hand and a string in his right hand. Then a second arrow fired with a crossbow that dodged the horse thief backhanded, leaving a wobbly shaft on the opponent's body.

An arrow stuck in the chest is not enough to kill the enemy in a single blow under the resistance of light chain mail. But judging from the other party's distorted face, it is also difficult to bear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Barrett raised his horsewhip with a bow in one hand and pursued the victory, and under the opponent's stunned expression, he directly danced towards the opponent's neck with the whip in his hand.

With the sound of the Adam's apple shattering, the enemy who came to attack was gone. The remaining horse thief saw that the situation was not good, and he whipped the horse's buttocks in a vain attempt to escape. Looking at the frightened fellow, Barrett sneered and pulled an arrow out of his quiver.

"Really! Don't these guys know that as long as they don't take the 'zigzag' route, they are all live targets? Barrett whispered in distress as if to confirm his claim, a steed about twelve yards away from him was leaving his master's corpse for a long time.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The second one has probably written 2ooo words, I don't know if it's too late. During this time, I was trying to overcome some of my old problems in sentences, and it was a little difficult to write!
