Chapter 0061: Blood Widow
Boom Boom Boom ......
The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the forest path, and several tall horses were moving slowly. A squad of cavalry appears on the road leading to the village of Tyrants, led by a young woman. She wore a thorny helmet and a dark red cloak on her shoulders, and her posture was vigorous and her eyes were cold.
Compared with the unkempt, rugged men and women in the Black Forest, this team was dusty, but it was strict and solemn, meticulously dressed, and did not make noise when running.
The team ran all morning, and the walls of the Rat Village could be seen in the distance. The leading woman suddenly raised her hand, and the team immediately dispersed, with bows and crossbows wound, on high alert.
"Who's there? Come out! The leading woman whispered to the edge of the woods.
In the woods, the branches and leaves flicked, and there was a cry of 'don't be nervous'. Luke the Ranger stepped forward with a few of his men. He smiled and said, "Isn't this the beautiful Anissa of Flame Village?" Where are you going? β
The woman's brow furrowed, and her guard deepened. She pressed the long knife on her waist and asked suspiciously, "Luke, what are you doing when you don't stay in Bear Roar Village and run to Schroeder's territory?" β
"Didn't you come too, why can't I come?" The middle-aged ranger snorted and sneered, "I also want to know who our most beautiful 'Blood Widow' in the Black Forest is going to harm this time?" β
The nickname 'Blood Widow' made the woman's face even more gloomy, and she obviously didn't like to be called that, so she shouted angrily, "Luke, don't divert the subject. If you don't make it clear, I'll see you as an enemy. β
"Hahaha...... Doesn't matter! The middle-aged ranger laughed a few times, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the forest.
The woman suddenly fell into a dilemma, she was even more suspicious, and her heart was cranky. The cavalry next to him stepped forward and whispered, "Ma'am, are we going into the woods to force Luke and his gang out?" β
"You want to fight a ranger in the woods? Luke, that bastard, will laugh for a year after killing you. The woman angrily scolded her subordinates for being brainless. But she couldn't back down.
When this cavalry team came out of Flame Village, they made up their minds that no matter what the cost, they would have Schroeder of Tyrant Village agree to their terms. Because there is no way back.
Luke's appearance was a big surprise, which puzzled Iniza, as the leader. She vaguely felt that the Rat Village was only afraid of trouble.
"Forward, we have to go to Storm Rat Village when we come, so we can see what happened to that guy Schroeder?" Inisha clamped the horse's belly, no longer saving horsepower, and accelerated forward.
Anyway, the Rat Village is not far away, and it is still easy to rush over.
As soon as the cavalry team left, an arrow suddenly shot out of the woods, warning the direction of the village. The sound of the arrow made Inisha even more uneasy, but she was even more determined to go and see what was going on.
Horses galloped, dark red cloaks rattling. The female knight on horseback was like a rainbow, moving forward like a gale, pulling out an afterimage. She held the reins in one hand, unsheathed her long knife in the other, gritted her teeth and was ready for battle.
Anyone who dares to stop this cavalry squad will inevitably pay a terrible price.
Just as this 'horse is like a dragon, and people are like the wind', the high-speed assault of aggression is like fire and arrives outside the Violent Rat Village, and it is not blocked at all.
The female knight with a long knife in her hand mustered all her strength and ran to the entrance of the Tyrant Village, only to see a large wave of people pouring out of the villageβat least a hundred people.
"What happened?" The female knight Inisha tugged on the reins, and the neighing of the horse forcibly terminated the onslaught. The hundreds of people in front of her were all adventurers with extraordinary strength, and they all screamed and rushed in the other direction of the village entrance.
No matter how conceited Inisha was, she didn't dare to fight against such a large wave of enemies. She had to stop, turn her horse's head, and watch in disbelief as the crowd rushed past her. She was even a little scared......
If you rush forward, you will be overwhelmed in the blink of an eye.
Think again, who are these adventurers going to attack? And who can be the enemy of so many fierce guys? Is there an even scarier guy on the other side of the crowd?
Looking closely, Inisha also recognized quite a few people. They were the leaders and adventurers of the other villages, as well as their armed attendants. When she saw these people running out of the village, she knew that Schroeder in this place must be finished.
But what's going on?
At this moment, a thin old man came out from behind the crowd, shouting at the top of his voice: "One to ten, one to ten, bet on Schroder to win to me to bet." His Excellency Hugo's combat power is unknown, and the probability of failure is extremely high, come and gamble! β
As soon as the thin old man shouted, a number of people ran over to surround him, and took out a few silver coins to bet. Most people are really attracted by the huge odds of 'one to ten' and bet on Schroder to win.
The thin old man cut a piece of wolf skin and recorded it with charcoal. But he shouted for a long time, but he only received less than a silver coin. This amount of money is too small for the gambling market, and if you don't do it, you will lose money.
Gambling?
Such a big battle is actually for gambling?
Anisa, who was holding the long knife, suddenly felt a little discouraged, and the situation seemed to be completely different from what she expected. She breathed a sigh of relief, rode up to the thin old man and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Who's betting on Schroeder? β
Uh......, the thin old man who collected the bet didn't know the woman in the suit in front of him. He blinked his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Ma'am, where are you from?" β
"I'm Anisa from Flame Village, and you've probably heard of my name. So answer my question quickly, untouchables. The woman sat on a tall horse and looked down at the thin old man who was only up to her thigh.
When the female knight leaned over slightly, the thin old man felt that his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the other party. Hearing the name 'Inisa of Flame Village', he felt even more groaned in his heart - who in the Black Forest didn't know this ruthless 'Blood Widow'?
"Hello, ma'am." The thin old man first bent down to show his respect, and said humbly: "We are holding a grand duel, and winning or losing will determine the ownership of the Rat Village. The duel with Schroeder was Victor. Your Excellency Hugo. β
"Victor. Hugo? Inisha thought back to everyone she knew, "I haven't heard of such a person, who only recently came to the Black Forest?" β
"Yes." The thin old man nodded, and said deliberately vaguely: "This time, our ten villages raised troops to come to the Rat Village, and in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, His Excellency Schroeder decided to duel with our leader, His Excellency Hugo. β
Although Inisha on horseback still didn't understand what was happening, she could feel that the atmosphere was not tense. The scene of the gambling fight was not far from her, and the crowd of people who had just poured out of the village had already surrounded the clearing over there.
It really looks like it's a gambling fight.
"Untouchables, take me there." "I'm going to see for myself who can be the opponent of Schroeder, the strongest barbarian in the Black Forest?" β
The thin old man led the way with a smile, and led Inisha and the other knights out of the crowd of onlookers. Everyone else was standing, and she naturally had a better line of sight on the horse, and could clearly see the two people standing in the surrounding scene.
One was Schroeder, a two-meter-tall and powerful barbarian leader who weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
The other is inconspicuous, just a teenager. He is less than 1.7 meters tall and weighs only more than 50 kilograms, and he is not at the same level as Schroeder.
Does this still use a gambling fight?
Are these people at the scene blind?
That boy will definitely lose!
Anisa's heart suddenly beat faster, and her eyes lit up. Because she carefully looked at the teenagers in the field over and over again, with her years of experience in fighting, she could conclude that Schroeder had won. She immediately turned to the thin old man who led the way and asked, "Can you still bet now?" β
"Absolutely."
"Is there a limit to bets?"
"There's no upper limit."
"Then I'll give you a hundred gold coins."
When Inisha said this, her teeth clenched.
Hearing the bet of 'one hundred gold coins', the thin old man was stunned for a few seconds, and then his heart was ecstatic, almost crying - God, I have finally waited for a fat sheep!
