Chapter 31: Detective Cavalry

"This level 3." "It's level 1." "This, level 2, I'm sure!" "Level 4, and he's a great swordsman." ……

After the night of the disaster, the road to the south was in shambles.

After a difficult trek on such a road, the entire convoy was once again in a busy state of work. From time to time, a car gets caught and someone is called for help. The horses neighed and the people shouted, and there was a mess. Only Shen Yan is very leisurely - he can neither help others nor need others' help.

Because there was only him and some rags on the two carts, a single six-legged wildebeest was enough to pull him on an easy walk.

Shen Yan was tired and sleepy after not sleeping all night and exercising with high intensity, but he couldn't fall asleep when others were busy, so he had to force himself to play train guessing with Penny-that is, Shen Yan first gave a level to the passers-by based on his own observations, and then Penny told him the standard answer...... It's not that I'm bored enough to play this kind of game.

This road is the main road through the Penlin Mountains to the south, and there is an endless stream of travelers coming and going. Out of fear of last night's disaster, everyone hurried to leave the "hardest hit area" sooner rather than later, when no one realized that last night was a series of disasters that affected the whole world.

Shen Yan's convoy walked very slowly on the side of the road, and passengers in the same direction always overtook without hesitation, and there were also passengers from the south to the north who walked in the opposite direction of the convoy, and Shen Yan guessed that it was these passers-by.

"This, level 5!" Shen Yan yawned and saw a person riding over, and casually gave an answer.

"Nope! But this person had already guessed, and I told you about level 2 and level 5 at the time. Penny said unhappily.

"Guessed? Yawn ~ when. "The two eyelids were fighting, the upper eyelid pressing the lower eyelid hard underneath.

"In the morning, he's passenger No. 023, driving south side by side with No. 024, and you say they look arrogant."

"Well... Together... Hey? "Shen Yan suddenly had a spirit, and the two of them came back to the south?" When he passed by in the morning, was there any difference between what he was wearing and what he was wearing now? ”

"Hmm, like you have an extra cloak over your leather armor? The quiver in the saddle was also missing. ”

"Fack...... Omar, where is Omar? Shen Yan simply pulled his neck and shouted, and even the knight who turned back to the north glanced at him vigilantly. Shen Yan still shouted unconsciously, "Omar, I watch the sky at night...... It's time for lunch! ”

"Snort~" Hearing Shen Yan's words, the knight who had slightly reduced his horse's speed sneered, "A rice bucket!" He slammed his feet on the horse's belly and sped past the group.

"What's wrong?" With his strange stealth again, Omar suddenly appeared next to the carriage. He wouldn't misunderstand Shen Yan, Shen Yan's EQ was higher than the leaders combined, and when the team was busy, Shen Yan wouldn't make malicious jokes.

"Look at the knight, what can you observe?" Shen Yan asked, pointing to the rider who was speeding away with his back to the convoy.

Omar didn't ask much, and he immediately began to observe with those huge eyes.

"The cloak is not the same as the costume worn on the body, it is different from the old and new, and it has just been changed; The boots are too new, and they seem to have been changed on purpose; With a bow but no arrows? It is likely that the arrow was left somewhere; He didn't bring a bag of dry food, and his destination was very close; And this horseback riding pose...... I don't usually see it, but it's too familiar when I accelerate! His nose inhaled hard, "Coupled with this disgusting stench, he's a Ranger from Upper Penlin!" How did he end up here? Cavalry brigade nearby? ”

The Ranger's face turned green...... Dark green.

When Omar was the scout chief of the Stonehaven Kingdom, his main opponent was the Rangers of the Upper Penlin Kingdom. Therefore, he was more familiar with these people than Milton. So when he observes with a scrutinizing eye, it is easy to see through the identity of the other party, and those disguises are more like a snake painting!

"I saw him go to the front in the morning with another rider of about the same size, and now he was the only one who returned, without a quiver in his saddle, but with a cloak that concealed his ears...... I'm starting to wonder, what do you think of? ”

"Shen Yan, in addition to when you can't see it, it's still very reliable when you can see it. Don't get angry, I thought of a surprise reconnaissance in batches and an ambush with the reserved soldiers! But there are still many doubts......

If they really want to stop us, the best position should be at the Blade's Edge, just a small group of cavalry! In that case, we have no power to resist; Even if you don't catch up, instead of risking being detected and ambushing, it is better to take advantage of the night to raid last night...... Wait, could it be last night's disaster that stopped them? Quite possibly! That makes sense!

Then I have only one problem left, this team is just a group of deserters, and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. This has already gone out of the country, what reason does Shang Penglin have to bite and chase after him? Did Milton the king's wife? ”

"You can ask Milton this question, maybe the king himself...... Also, can you help me get a bag of military steel arrows? I think the next one will come in handy. ”

"Wait!"

*****

Sure enough, Milton understood as soon as he heard itβ€”it wasn't the king's chrysanthemum, but the thing in his hand that was exposed!

Maybe it's because the war is over, and someone comes home to find that their treasures are gone; Maybe it was his agreement with the female magician that was known to others. In short, those people's goal was not a deserter, but something in his hands!

As for why not intercept at the Blade Pass? The reason is simple, because the snatchers in the back also don't want to be known by others! They followed behind, and eighty percent wanted to wait for an environment with few people and suitable for encirclement and annihilation. Because the mission of this chasing army is not only to grab the treasure, but also to ensure that the news of the treasure is not leaked.

The plan of encirclement at the front and rear just shows that the forces of the pursuing side are not enough to guarantee total annihilation in a frontal attack!

After thinking about the cause and effect, Milton was really shocked into a cold sweat!

He was extremely grateful to Shen Yan for warning him in advance, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would have died! This also strengthened his idea of wanting to leave Shen Yan behind. At least in terms of personality, Shen Yan is ten thousand times easier to get along with than that annoying female magician!

Just like this time, the woman guarding the blade pass must have known that there were pursuers behind her, but she didn't reveal any information in order not to implicate herself.

As for how Shen Yan guessed that he was carrying a heavy treasure, Milton had no doubt. It seems that smart people have this special ability - the first time he met a female magician, she said, "Don't play with your poor tongue, if you have anything to rely on, take it out immediately, or I'll let you know the consequences of wasting a magician's time!" ”

It was with such an item that Milton was able to exchange for the promise of the sorceress's cooperation, and only then did he have a series of follow-up actions.

Milton lowered his head for five minutes, and when he raised his head again, his eyes became cold and shining, like a wild beast waking up! He is no longer the harmless fugitive village chief at this moment, but the leader of the cold and bloodthirsty guerrilla brigade is back to him!

"Omar, you help me pass the order, everyone don't show anything strange for the time being, and act according to my plan......"

……

"Your arrows!"

Shen Yan didn't even see Omar's figure clearly, and a bag of 24 double-barbed steel arrows was thrown into his car.

You jump so much, why don't you become a courier!

Shen Yan didn't ask Milton how he arranged it, it was their business. Shen Yan first took out an arrow from the quiver and put it in front of him to look at it, this is the best arrow in the current team. The so-called steel arrow is not an all-steel arrow, only the arrow is a double-barbed rigid arrow, and the arrow shaft is still a hardwood pole. It's just that it's coated with raw insect-proof paint, which looks a little more advanced than Orion Arrow.

The weight should also be a few grams heavier.

Shen Yan weighed the weight of the arrow, and lowered the infrared sight on the pulley bow by half a scale. Make sure that 50 steps (30+ meters) can aim at the head to seal the throat, and 100 steps (60+ meters) can aim at the head and break the egg, so it is very good.

The sun shone on the tip of the arrow, and there was a little light trembling there. No, it's not the arrow shaking, it's Shen Yan's hand shaking. The upcoming first battle made his heart beat faster all the time, and the excitement was hard to contain! He forcibly put down the arrow, picked up the pulley bow and adjusted it little by little, so that the meticulous work calmed the unrest in his heart a little bit.

My father once said, "There is calm in every big event!" ”

Is the vortex about to start turning? The little words are ready. Then I can't be left behind. Penny said to Shen Yan, "Press that nail against the arrow." ”

"Okay." Shen Yan picked up the steel arrow again without being verbose and did so.

When the black nails touched the arrow, a faint light extended from between the fingers to the metal. Immediately, the arrow became soft like plasticine, the tip part was stretched more sharply and narrowly, and the wings became thin blades! You must know that military arrows are also knocked out by ordinary blacksmiths on anvils, except for the sharpness of the arrows, the other parts are just beaten into diamond-shaped sections that are easy to break armor. There are only two sharp flutes on the sides, not the cutting edge.

"It's a pity that these arrows have to be recycled after the war, and they can't be transformed into three-edged arrows! That's amazing! Penny said unsatisfied. In fact, the current transformation has greatly improved the armor-piercing and cutting ability of steel arrows, which just makes up for the lack of strength of pulley bows.

Shen Yan was deeply surprised and picked up the arrow, which looked like a work of art, and looked at it carefully from beginning to end. The adjusted arrows are not only sharp, with a balanced center of gravity, but also have a layer of sparkling plating on them, as if they were chrome-plated arrows coming down from an industrial production line!

He casually thrust the arrow into the wheel, and with a "poof", the arrow passed through the board! He barely felt the hindrance......

Feed! This kind of murder weapon, even if Shen Yan looks at it, he feels that it is too much! You're not going to make arrowheads into blades, are you?

Penny Meizizi, Meizizi, your shock is the greatest compliment to me!

Penny was able to control the small pieces of metal she came into contact with, 24 steel arrows, all of which took less than a quarter of an hour to adjust. After calming down, Shen Yan pulled out the ten steel arrows and put them in the hand of the carriage for easy access. Then he lay down with a pulley bow in his arms, hiding his body behind the wheel, quietly waiting for the signal.

At this moment, he was in a calm state of mind, without joy or sorrow, as if he was heading towards the top of the Forbidden City to blow snow at the West Gate.

Drop everything and just the arrows.

Omar flashed, threw up an old leather armor and smashed him in the face, Shen Yan endured, and the artistic conception could not be broken; Omar flashed again, threw up a pair of old leather boots and smashed him on the chest, Shen Yan continued to endure, and the discipline could not be lost; Omar flashed again, and this time threw an iron pot, Shen Yan ...... Shen Yan couldn't bear it!

Shen Yan was angry, didn't you see that my lying posture was so cool? Let me pretend to die a little longer!

Hey, don't run!

…… How to wear leather armor!
