From Fog Town to Rocky Beach Town to Banshee Castle, the distance in a straight line is about fifty kilometers. Roads fork along the way, connecting countless villages. The roads are often lined with fields, and farther away are simple wooden houses.

Just yesterday, there was a robbery on this dirt road, which is only a few meters wide. A hundred wagons, which formed a convoy of long snakes, were attacked in broad daylight.

Lord Exxon of the Long-legged Family......

Oh, Lord Exxon, who should have been the Butch family by now, was standing at the intersection at the moment, staring at the mess of the road with a gloomy face on horseback, his mind as wild as grass.

The rookie knight Tias, as an attendant, followed behind the lord blankly. He only knew that the situation was serious, but he did not know how serious it was.

A hundred carriages stretched for miles in front and back, and there were five or six hundred guards alone. But such a team was beaten down and fled in an uproar.

This seriously damaged the majesty of the Butcher family, and it was like smacking Friedman in front of his face with the soles of his-stained shoes. Buch's face, the opposite side of the pumping blossomed.

The consequences of food shortages are too serious to be sloppy. Baron Bishop stopped in the town of Fog and ordered Lord Exxon to bring more than a hundred knights to investigate the situation quickly.

As soon as he arrived at the road where the incident occurred, the lord was enraged by the situation at the scene.

It's not that the number of dead people makes Exxon angry, it's that the vandalized wagons and scattered grain and grass are almost swept away.

"Go to the surrounding villages and arrest people, and if you see untouchables who have looted their family belongings, they will be summarily executed. The fleeing convoy guards must have been hiding nearby, grabbing some for questioning. ”

Exxon gritted his teeth and gave the order. In order to arrive as soon as possible, he did not bring infantry, and all the knights of the family were behind him.

Hearing the order, hundreds of knights scattered in all directions, along the country road to carry out the lord's order.

Tias, who was promoted to 'personal attendant', did not move, he had the experience of 'sharing weal and woe' with the lord, and rode forward two or three miles with Exxon, making sure that the entire grain convoy was finished.

In broad daylight, the convoy guards lacked vigilance. The attackers pinched very accurately and attacked from both ends of the road. In the middle, someone was also assigned to be responsible for the truncation, making it difficult for the team to take care of each other.

You can't even escape.

Exxon looked at the villages on both sides of the road and cursed hatefully, "There must be complicit of the attackers here, and without their assistance, the convoy would not have been able to end so easily." ”

Tias looked to the left and right, and he could imagine that the attackers should be in ambush in a nearby village. When the convoy passed, they burst out, drove the guards, overturned the wagon, killed the horses, and broke the axle of the wagon.

The axle is a key component of the carriage. Without it, the car is waste.

The attackers came and went like the wind, from one end of the road to the other, and the purpose was particularly strong. They evacuated as soon as they completed their mission, and the residents of the nearby villages immediately came out to pick up the bargain.

The scrapped wagons were dismantled, the dead horses were cut up for meat, and the grain and grass on the wagons were not wasted, and all the food and grass were carried away by manpower.

The huge convoy was looted in less than half a day, leaving only a few grains of wheat flour and dried meat crumbs on the ground, and the corpses of the dead guards were lying in all directions.

The good fighting on the front line was suddenly interrupted, and thousands of troops could not move. Exxon cursed in his heart - who is so bold? Isn't he afraid of retaliation from the Butch family?

The lord's mind was full of anger at being openly humiliated by the enemy, and for a while he really didn't expect that there were indeed people who were not afraid of any revenge at all—they had already started fighting, and they were afraid of a ghost revenge.

Naturally, how fierce it is!

More than 100 knights were divided into 10 groups and scattered to the surrounding villages to arrest people. Before long, there were screams and cries on both sides of the road.

Men's, women's, young, old, and so on.

Exxon stood on the side of the road, waiting for his men to arrest the untouchables. Tias's face turned blue and white, and he could already think of what was going to happen next.

The first to be captured were the convoy guards who fled during the attack. They experienced yesterday's bloody assault and fighting, but they were lucky enough to escape but could not escape far at all, so they could only hide in a nearby village.

Several fugitive guards were tied to their horses with ropes, and the knights dragged them all the way to Exxon. They were already covered in blood when they stumbled, and when they saw the lord, they knelt on the ground and cried.

Exxon's fierce gaze scanned for a few seconds, then casually pointed at one of them and shouted, "Kill him." ”

The knight who had escorted him raised his hand and slashed the neck of one of the guards. The man immediately fell to the ground, holding his neck with his hands, struggling and trying to cry for help.

The rest of the people were even more urinating, and they were already colorless.

Exxon then asked, "What happened yesterday?" Only those who can speak clearly can live. ”

The captured guards cried and shouted, saying they knew. It wasn't until they were almost hoarse in their incoherent voices that Exxon asked one of them to speak more eloquently.

"Master, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that the guys who attacked are too fierce. More than two dozen orcs rushed out desperately. They have a lot of strength, they run fast, and their axes are so sharp that we can't stop them.

Those barbarians are not afraid of death when they kill with momentum, and the brothers who meet them are chopped off their skulls by the orcs with an axe. Our swords and shields are not as good as theirs, and we died before we could understand it. ”

The guard who spoke kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his head was full of blood. But his companion immediately retorted: "Master, it's not an orc, it's not an orc, it's a bunch of adventurers, and the leader is a tower shield."

Behind the tower shield, there were a dozen men, and they shot at us with light crossbows. The bolts were accurate and ruthless, and our shields couldn't stop them. The guards in the front row didn't have time to dodge, and they died in the blink of an eye. ”

Before the second speaking guard had time to catch his breath, another retorted loudly: "Nonsense, nonsense, you are all nonsense." There are no orcs and adventurers at all, in fact, some powerful wizards.

A black-robed necromancer came out like a puff of smoke and rushed in front of us with a number of tall skeletons. Our men resisted the skeletons, but were scattered by a giant bear.

Behind the bear was a small sorceress who held handfuls of gems in her hands. This sorceress is really bad, she looks like she is quite weak, but when we rush over, the arcane magic will be overwhelming. ”

Several of the guards were snot and tears, arguing for their lives, knocking out Exxon's head.

It's orcs again, adventurers of different races, wizards and druids, and some even say they saw gnomes. What kind of hodgepodge is this?

It's a headache to think about.

Wait..... there is only one place in the entire Northland that has such a hodgepodge of teams. Exxon even touched it, and tasted it.

"The team of adventurers who attacked you with a light crossbow?" Exxon seemed to have grasped something important.

One of the guards nodded hurriedly, "Master, master, I said that." The attackers I encountered were using light crossbows. They shoot a lot of crossbow arrows. Our shields can't stop it. ”

Crossbow bolts?

"Where were you attacked? What about the corpses of your companions? Exxon asked, his heart pounding wildly and sweating profusely.

The questioned guard glanced around a few times and pointed out the approximate location of the attack he had been attacked yesterday.

Exxon rode his horse and found several corpses that had been hit by crossbow arrows. He used the dagger he wore with him to cut open the wound of the corpse, and soon unearthed a special crossbow bolt that was slender and short.

This all-metal bolt is so sharp and thin that even the light crossbow that fires it must be customized. There is only one in the entire Northlands - Coldwind City.

Exxon had been shot by such a crossbow before, and knew the cruelty of this little thing. He pinched the bloody crossbow and shouted in disbelief, "It's Victor. Hugo, only he can do this. ”
