Convenient information communication is a pain point in most times. Not everyone has a link network like Zhou Qingfeng that ignores space constraints.

At a distance of more than fifty meters, normal people's shouting is like performing a pantomime. Tools such as horns for short-distance communication are more convenient.

The war in the era of cold weapons has this difficulty, and once the troops are scattered, it is difficult to take them back. So the reserves are very important.

Exxon scattered more than a hundred of his men, and if he wanted to gather again, he had to blow the trumpet. For some reason, the brass trumpet of Kotias just didn't sound. He could only send out the few remaining subordinates around him as heralds.

Tias also had to get off the road and rode his horse northwest. He had to contact the knight squads in the two villages and bring them back.

It's only a few hundred meters away, but it's not that far.

Follow a muddy road and walk through a fence wall covered with vines. At the entrance of the village lay two headless corpses that had just died. Blood flowed zigzagly, and the corpse was surrounded by a mess of horseshoe prints, heading towards the village.

The corpse's head rolled in a stinking ditch, and its bared teeth showed the fear of death. Judging by their appearance, it was the people of the village who died.

Ever since he had been to Green Valley with Lord Exxon, Tias had become numb to the scene. The aristocratic lord hates the untouchables at the bottom like lice, and hates to wipe them all out.

Riding past the corpses, the village was filled with shouts and curses. From time to time, people scurried around in panic, and then they were overtaken by horses or arrows.

A knight came out of a dilapidated room, his squire holding two chickens in his hands. In the courtyard of the house lay a farmer, covered in blood.

"Tias, what are you doing here?" The knight who came out was surprised. Because this rookie should stay by the lord's side.

"There is an emergency, and the lord asked me to call you back." Tias said.

"Wait a minute, we're busy." The knight and the squire laughed and went to another farmhouse. They don't take the emergency seriously at all.

The 'rookie' opened his mouth, knowing that it was useless for him to shout. These knights were higher than him in terms of seniority and rank, and they would not listen to him at all.

In essence, the military aristocracy at all levels was no different from the serf soldiers at the bottom. Once out of the sight of the high-ranking nobles, don't expect them to obey orders.

Neither Exxon nor Tias expected to be able to gather personnel immediately. It's nice to be able to do this in an hour.

provoked this group of **-like guys, they would even hide from the heralds, and even openly disobey orders.

Tias had to go to the other knights to get the orders one by one. But he hadn't walked far before a terrible scream came from behind him.

Has another hapless villager been killed?

The rookie looked back, sighed, and continued to walk through the dilapidated village. But in the center of the village, an ownerless war horse sprang out of the spur.

The horses were fully saddled, but there were no riders.

It's weird. Which knight let his horse go?

Tias stepped forward to grab the horses and looked left and right among the chaotic village houses, trying to find their master. But the village, which was originally full of crying, was blown by a gust of wind and became quiet.

It's heart-wrenching.

"Hey...... whose war horse isn't tethered?" Tias shouted, but no one paid attention. He could only walk in the direction of the horses, and when he turned the corner, he saw a peasant woman sitting in the corner.

When she saw Tias, dressed in armor, the peasant woman screamed in amazement, wept bitterly, and begged for life. He frowned and asked, "Where is the master who rode this horse?" ”

After asking these questions several times, the trembling peasant woman stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed in a direction.

Tias turned his head to look over, and at first he didn't find anything, but it took a long time to recognize a corpse that had fallen not far away.

Unlike other tattered untouchable corpses, this one wore a helmet, armor, and a sword in his hand. But there was a deep knife on his back, right in the middle of the vest.

"Damn, it's murder, you all have to die." Tias recognized the identity of the corpse and was furious. He drew his sword and was about to ask the peasant woman who had done it.

At the moment of turning around, a figure burst out from the roof of the thatched hut in the village, grabbed a light crossbow and aimed at Tias, and shot out with a swish.

Tias turned around and swung his sword with a snap, and the bolt of crossbow flew past his shoulder. He was scared out of a cold sweat, and when he looked at the roof, he was a small halfling.

The other party was rewinding and grimacing at him.

Crossbow bolts?

Attackers?

These guys are here again in broad daylight.

Tias snorted, immediately turned on his horse, and quickly fled while his opponent was winding. As he fled, he shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, assemble quickly." ”

The village had just been quiet, but in the blink of an eye, it was a mess. A knight rushed out, wielding a two-handed broadsword, trying to join Tias. But in front of him was a human ranger with a tower shield.

The knight called out to Tias to come and help, and his two-handed greatsword danced a half-meter-long blade of light, but he was never able to break through the Ranger's tower shield.

Tias hesitated for a moment to help? But a sharp arrow came from not far away, piercing the armor and hitting the knight's vest.

In the blink of an eye as he rode his horseback, Tias saw a beautiful female elf standing about twenty meters away. Her longbow and arrows glittered, each of which could inflict heavy damage or even kill her target.

A team of knights is only about a dozen people, scattered in a village, and they can't form a joint force at all, and they are easily surrounded and killed by the opponent. Some knights stumbled out and were hit head-on.

In a panic, Tias lay on his back and rode his horse fast, not caring about others. He also had to pray that the female elf just now would kill the other knights and not come to him.

When he was about to leave the entrance of the village, the knight who had caught the chicken when he entered the village came out. The other side's attendant had fallen to the ground, his stomach broken. He stopped in the middle of the road in a panic and shouted, "Tias, good boy, take me quickly." ”

Tias didn't slow down at all, but he whipped his horse hard, and the horse ran even faster, knocking the knight in his way away.

At the moment of impact, the horse's speed and direction changed slightly, causing an arrow to fly from behind him to shoot Tias not in the head, but in the buttocks.

The moment he was hit by the arrow, Tias didn't react at all. He just wanted to run as fast as he could. However, the half-elf archer who was aiming at him was extremely annoyed and apologized to Healy, who was in command on the scene.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you let one go." Healy carried the magic bow and looked at the fleeing war horse with contempt, "Let's go to the next village." There's more scum to deal with. ”

Fleeing outside the village, Tias looked back to see that no one had come to chase him, and his palpitations relaxed slightly. He continued to shout, "Sir, Lord Exxon. There's a ...... in the village over there."

Supposedly, the lord is in the middle of the road waiting for his men to come back.

But Tias saw a person slowly standing up opposite the lord, and a half-dimensional space was opened behind him, and a mechanical dragon crawled out of it with great might.

Lord Exxon was ready to fight, riding his horse and holding a knife, raising his momentum in the hope of fighting to the death.

Tias only had one look and knew that the lord had no way to live. He simply flicked his horse's head and quickly passed through the fields beside the road. From beginning to end, he only had time to boost the morale of the lord......

"Sir, don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children!"
