There was a man standing on the boat, holding a lantern in his hand, which was bright and dark, and gave a light signal.

If it were someone else, he would have been stunned, but Nan Xiao had already prepared. Long before he got closer, he had studied the interactions between those sentry ships and other ships. In fact, the light signal is very simple. Seeing that the other party played a signal of three short and one long, he directly replied to three long and one short, and passed.

He picked up the lantern on the boat and expertly signaled to the boat.

Apricot Saeki on the side was stunned, and he didn't understand how he saw through the pirate's light certification.

Sure enough, after confirming the lights, the sentry boat took them for its own and turned in the other direction.

Under the cover of night, Nan Xiao controlled the small sailboat to dock and said to Saeki Xing, "Let's go, let's go to Arin first." ”

It's a spontaneous bazaar of pirates, and it's full of drunken guys. Nan Xiao took Saeki Xing to carefully avoid them, keeping a low profile all the way, trying not to attract attention.

"How?" Saeki looked confused, "I don't know where Rin is being held." ”

Nan Xiao took out the torn skirt, sniffed it, and then raised her head and took a deep breath: "I smell her, come with me." ”

The sense of smell is really good to use. Although the process was a little ashamed, Nan Xiaodong sniffed it, smelled it west, felt that the taste had become lighter, so he changed directions, and finally gradually approached a big house.

It was a big house built on a high platform. To be precise, it should be a village. It has a wall nearly two meters high that encloses a large area. To enter the village, you must first walk up the ramp for a long time. If you are coming to attack, you will eat the bows and muskets of the defenders on the courtyard wall on this way.

After that, the attacker will encounter a large wooden door that is very thick. Whether it was burned or hit, in short, I had to find a way to open the one-foot-thick wooden door before I could enter the inside of the village. The defenders will retreat to defend near the second gate on higher ground. There is a corner tower on each corner of the second gate, with musket holes and arrow holes, and the shooting range is very good.

Even the second gate was captured, and there was the last main castle tower. This defense is like an onion, layer upon layer, making people feel uncomfortable, it's like a castle.

What to do, can you beat it?

Saeki Xing looked at Nan Xiao, and this is what she wanted to say.

Nan Xiao was not worried at all. In the uncharted world, two or three hundred firefly members are guarding the Black Wood Mountain, with machine guns and submachine guns, and they are not easily taken down by him and Joel. Compared to that battle, this village is not even a warm-up exercise.

He rubbed Saeki's little Lori's head and motioned for her to climb on his back.

may be used to being rubbed by Nan Xiao, Saeki Xing not only did not protest, but squinted her eyes slightly, really like a cat who was comfortably stroked.

Taking advantage of the night, Nan Xiao set off silently.

He went around to the west side of the courtyard and listened quietly for a few minutes. The sound of footsteps, the sound of breathing, and even the sound of those people's heartbeats and blood flowing, became so clear in the night.

There were two people standing guard outside the gate, and two on the courtyard wall. Between the gate and the second gate there was a group of five swimming sentinels, who had just walked around and went back to the house near the gate to rest. The configuration of the second door is the same as the main gate. I couldn't hear it very clearly inside, and it seemed that there were a lot of people drinking and chatting, and it was very noisy.

Since they're all pirates, let's get on the road in order.

The first is the two on the wall of the main gate. One of them had a short bow on his back, which was good, and he was immediately targeted by Nan Xiao.

A two-meter-high courtyard wall. He jumped slightly, grabbed the wall with one hand, and went up the wall without a sound.

The walkway on the wall is about two meters wide, and there are some miscellaneous items, and a torch is inserted about every five or six meters. Nan Xiao wandered in the shadows, deftly avoiding the light. Not only did the fire not shine on him, but because it was dark under the lamp, it became his cover.

The stealth skills I learned from Uncle Joel are really used to deal with these rookies, which is really a knife to kill chickens.

Passing from behind, while the other person turned his head to look into the distance, Nan Xiao suddenly exerted his strength, strangled the neck of the bow pirate, and strangled him!

The left elbow tightens the carotid artery and tightens the trachea to prevent the other person from screaming, and the right arm cooperates with the control while dragging it back. These are all well-honed killing skills, taking into account the anatomy of the human body, directly attacking the most vulnerable parts, and suppressing the opponent's counterattack to a minimum.

The bow-wielding pirate struggled twice before falling unconscious. Nan Xiao tightened his neck as she dragged him into the shadows of the courtyard wall. The whole process only took more than ten seconds, and a strong man was done.

The loot is in hand, and it is a horned bow of the Ming Kingdom. Bamboo and wood are composite, and animal tendons are kneaded into a bowstring. This bow is good, small and powerful, and it is a sharp weapon for stealth killing. Nan Xiao took off the quiver by the way, there were about a dozen arrows in it, barely enough.

The pirate also had a ruler-long short knife hanging from his waist, which was much sharper than the one Nan Xiao had picked up before, so of course he had to replace it.

At this time, the other person just turned his head. Surprised to find that his companion was gone, he looked around blankly. This guy doesn't say a word when he pees, probably that's what he thinks.

Suddenly, a short knife slammed silently into his lower back. Immediately after that, the mouth was also covered. The pirate couldn't make a sound, and was dragged into the darkness.

Now you can deal with the two guys standing guard outside the gate. With a spear, he stood for half the night, and he had already fallen asleep. The heads of the two people kept drooping like chickens pecking rice, and if they weren't for the spears to support them, I am afraid they would not have fallen asleep on the ground.

While he was dozing, the sentry on the left suddenly noticed that the man standing guard on the right was missing. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled. But it's gone. The torch planted in the gate was clearly illuminated, and there was no one on the right.

Well? Do you want to go away and say nothing......

Thinking like this, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and soon the sentry had no idea.

Nan Xiao carefully dragged the deceased into the dark shadow on the other side of the gate and touched the corpse. Poor barehead, there are only a few civilized copper coins in his arms.

The snow fell silently. Under the torch of the gate, there were no living people.

Some thought went into the design of this farm. The second gate was built at the end of a narrow stone beam. If you want to pass, you have to walk over the stone beam. The stone beams that can only accommodate four people in parallel, there are not even railings, and there are cliffs on both sides. Even if it is a brave person among ordinary people, if he wants to rush through such an unobstructed place, he has to shoot indiscriminately with a bow and arrow from the opposite side, probably impossible.

Nan Xiao was sure to rush over, but she still had a little Lori on her back, so she had to take care of her.

After observing for a while, he decided to climb over the side of the stone beam.
