Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Guillotine Knights

The map shows a vulture to the north of the knight's emblem, but the vulture does not have a head but nine snake heads above its neck, and the label says the snake-headed Aquila.

The Metropolitan Governor rushed back to the camp in a hurry, and before he could open his mouth, Lao Xue came out.

"Good news, Grand Duke! Good news! ”

"Why are you so happy?" Zhou Yu almost forgot why he came back.

"Remember the three men who rushed to Bruno's aid?"

"Remember, weren't we all wiped out?"

"Before entering the city a few days ago, didn't you send Kazik with the main force to pull out their nest? Kazik is back! ”

"Oh, look at my brain." Zhou Yu slapped his head, he let the herding and hunting competition make trouble this day, and the intellectual arrears were shut down.

"How's it going, Kazik?" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked.

"Returning to the Deputy Commander, those three men are all from other sub-fortresses in Bruno's territory. After sending reinforcements, the city defense was quite slack, and the total number of men was less than 200. The younger one with five hundred brethren has uprooted them. ”

"Oh? Is it? Well done, give you a salary increase, add chicken legs to you, and give you white and rich beauty! "Zhou Yu's Kazik is almost untenable.

"My lord, that's not the point."

"Huh? So what's the key? Did you find the safe there or did you find the harem beauties 3000? Hurry up and give me a dip in the rain and dew! Zhou Yu said that he was about to take off his clothes.

"No, no, deputy commander. We rescued three slave camps! ”

"W-What?"

"I said, we, delivered, three, slave camp!" Kazik thought that the Metropolitan Governor was deaf, and shouted in his ear. I wasn't deaf, but now I'm deaf.

me, let me calm down. Don't worry, Zhou Yu shook his head.

"How many people are there?"

"About 9,000 people, plus the original brothers. Now the Immortal Army has a total of 12,000 people. Kazik was overjoyed, but Zhou Yu was sad. Twelve thousand mouths, what do you want me to feed them? You need at least 6,000 catties of food for a meal, so you can steal and rob it?

"Lao Xue, how many days is enough for military rations?" Zhou Yu let go of Kazik and asked Xerxes at a loss.

"Originally, it was enough for half a month, and this small number of people joined in, and I am afraid that it will last for five days at most." Lao Xue also shook his head and sighed. Yes, they must be saved, otherwise they will be left to starve to death in the rainforest. But how these people eat is really a nerve-wracking problem.

"That's it, Old Xue. You take them back to the main city of Bruno. It's an empty city now, and everything is back to normal. You play Bruno, right! Dress up! The Metropolitan gritted his teeth.

"It's still the same when I go back, and outsiders seem to be working and building temples. You have a little bit of a count in your own mind, and every day turns your labor into training. Purchasing food and being self-sufficient, I think we are all familiar with the road. The most important thing is not to expose yourself. Playing with your life before you succeed is not our routine. ”

"Okay, it seems that we can only retreat first, and then try to make a big deal." Xerxes' grand quest against the infidels had not yet begun before he choked back.

"Bambul, Marsha, you two bring ten brothers with me, and the rest of you will return to the court!" Zhou Yu shouted.

"Kazik, you are a good assistant to the Commander-in-Chief. I have only one sentence to explain. ”

"The deputy commander reassures your lordship, even if you give orders, the little one will go to the soup and the fire."

"Don't make the soup, I'm hungry. Remember: grow up as soon as possible, be a good soldier, a good official, and a good family! Got it? ”

"Little one understands." Kazik fell to his knees with tears of emotion streaming from the corners of his eyes. In a few words, the Metropolitan Governor entrusted himself with a mountain-like responsibility and a sea-like trust. What he said about being a good soldier is naturally to let him be a good staff assistant and assist Xerxes in dealing with big and small affairs; To be a good official is to let him care for the hard-working slave soldiers under him and treat everyone well; Keeping a good family is to let him be a good housekeeper, and he has to take the lead in financial cashiering, logistics support, and infrastructure discipline inspection.

Damn, this whole is an all-round training class. After a year and a half of training in this position, it is more than enough to be transferred to a local position as a leader.

It took ten days for the large army to arrive here from the centaur department, and the distance on paper was about the same length as the snake-headed eagle was here. However, the speed of the small group of horses and whips far exceeds that of the large army, so Zhou Yu estimated that it would only take about ten days to go back and forth, if nothing else.

But how could it not be unexpected?

Nika also suggested to him that he catch another corpse squid and turn it in as a trophy. The Metropolitan Governor disagreed, because it was too dangerous to hunt Zhang Squid in the first place, and death and injury were inevitable. Besides, if you make such a big move, people may not buy it after you hand it over. How? You hit it alone? Are you Chiyou, you or Qiqi? Do you really think you're Superman? If you are not careful, it is easy to expose the whereabouts of the large army.

Along the way, it was bleak and cold, and everyone dared not stop. Time is too tight, and a slight lingering delay may miss the event. The Metropolitan Governor who was at the forefront of the horse rushed to look back at Nika who was following closely behind, and she was not even afraid, shouting in her mouth to drive, drive, her face was solemn, and she did not fall behind.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu grabbed the reins and raised his right hand to signal the back to stop. In front of him was a dense forest, with huge trees that obscured the sky and the sun, and there was no end in sight. In the vast grassland, the strange appearance of such a forest exuding an ancient atmosphere seems so abrupt and incomprehensible.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually weakened to the point of disappearing, and they were bent on either side of the Grand Governor, looking up at these ancient trees from the bottom up.

"Put on your weapons, don't talk!" Zhou Yu gave an order, and he was already the sword of atonement, and took the lead and slowly stepped into the jungle. The elite soldiers behind him formed a battle formation, and the umbrella type marched towards the forest.

There were a few strange sounds, and Masha hurriedly pulled the bowstring to her head. Shining down from the dense foliage were a few rays of sunlight and the shadows of a few startled birds. Good guys, startled, it turned out to be just a few birds.

The trees in front of them grew denser, and several people walked more and more slowly. Zhou Yu simply got off the horse, led the horse with one hand, and slashed the tall weeds and branches in front of him with the other hand, opening up a path.

The sound of rushing water appeared in his ears, and Zhou Yu judged the position, and took the reins of the horse and walked to the front right. Sure enough, within twenty meters, a few people came to a clearing in the forest, and a small stream passed through the forest, singing here lightly and happily. Surprisingly, there seem to be traces of human activity here. Hundreds of trees were cut down in the clearing, and in addition to the creek, the dense stumps of trees came into view.

"Hydrate!" Zhou Yu whispered to Bamble behind him, everyone was well-trained. Divided into two groups, one group was responsible for guarding the perimeter and the other group bent down to get water from the water bladder, and then alternated.

Zhou Yu squatted by the stream for the last time, he reached out and took a handful of water and spread it on his face, washed the dust all the way, and tried to take a small sip. The stream reflected himself and the reflection of Nika and Bambur next to him, sparkling and descriptive.

"Come!" Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to Nika, wanting to help her fill the water bladder. But in the reflection, he saw that Nika's expression froze, and Bamble was also motionless and petrified.

"What for?" Saying that, Zhou Yu also raised his head and looked around suspiciously. Among the dense trees around the clearing, dark shadows can be clearly seen in the sunlight.

The hunting squad was surrounded. In just a few minutes of fetching water, he was surrounded silently and with his head and tail in tow. Zhou Yu didn't dare to judge the situation in vain, so he slowly stood up and dusted off the water droplets on his body. It is not clear whether the person who came is friend or foe, it is estimated that it will not be a friend, and his friends in Thorasia are all behind him. So, who are these people? Are they seeking money or killing?

"Why don't friends from the outside come in and talk, and sneakily call them heroes." Zhou Yu shouted, since he was already ready to fly and expose his whereabouts, he didn't have to hide it.

The black shadow did not move, still in place, and the shadow was full of terror. The two sides were at such a stalemate, and the bowstrings in the hands of Bamble, Masha and others were so stretched that their index fingers were about to break, and they did not dare to attack without permission. For fear that if one is not careful, it will lead to a catastrophe.

A clatter came from directly ahead, and a rider slowly walked out of the darkness. Walking from the jungle to the clearing, the sun shone on him, making him the focus of his gaze.

The man was riding a horse that looked to be white, dressed in white armor, with a blood-red cross burning on his chest, and a steel mask on his head, with only two eyes visible. Because it is an armored horse, you can only guess the body of the horse by the color of the legs. He held an iron spear three meters long, the tip of which stepped forward and slowly. He was followed by a group of cavalry.

These cavalry made Bamble and the others pee their pants in shock, although the new recruits were newly established and won many battles, and their morale was high. But when they saw these cavalrymen in front of them, the bows and arrows in their hands were trembling, and Zhou Yu obviously felt that the breath of death was pressing forward step by step, overwhelming people.

Because, these cavalrymen have no heads. Even the horses and men are all in black armor, armed with steel guns, and carry feather clips on their shoulders. Even if there is a section missing on the shoulder, it does not look short, which shows how heroic and sassy he was in life.

"Hiss!" There was no sound except for the low chirps of the horses on both sides. Zhou Yu looked around on his back, not to mention that the other party also had three or four hundred people, not to mention the combat power for the time being, that is, the number of people compared to want to win or escape is like a fool's dream.

"The friends on the other side, I and my brothers are sick day and night, lose their direction, and don't want to enter the treasure land by mistake, which is really an unintentional move. I also hope that you will raise your noble hand and let us go on a way to live. He will be thankful in the day. Zhou Yu said, and raised his hands into fists.

The man on the other side still did not speak, and continued to walk slowly on the horse's hoof.

"Could it be that the honorable driver is deliberately embarrassed?" Zhou Yu looked at the situation, aggressive, and the comer was not good. Except for the leader who has a head, the other headless horsemen probably can't understand him.

"You, have you thought about this bone-eating forest?" The man on the other side finally spoke.

Yo he, spoke. There is a door to speak, but I am afraid that you will not speak.

"Exactly, I hope to be famous. If he is lucky enough to meet again, he must pour a glass of turbid wine as a sign of respect. "It turns out that this forest is called the Bone Erosion Forest, and there is no special mark on the map, so it seems that there are two possibilities, or Sullivan provides that this product is a Xibei product; Either the forest appeared on the continent after the map was printed.

"Hahaha!" The long laugh from the opposite side startled the cool breeze on the back of everyone's necks, and the laughter was majestic.

"Come when you want, go when you want. Think we, the Guillotine Knights, are not up for display? ”

"Neither nor either, he who does not know is not guilty." Zhou Yu saw that the other party put on a posture of asking guilt, and hurriedly replied without humility or arrogance. At this time, you can't lose the momentum down, you must know that the so-called warriors hate the most are deserters and cowards on the battlefield. Seeing that this group of soldiers is well-trained and outflanked silently, they must be good fighters on the battlefield.

"It's okay to be innocent, but first ask me how the spear is?"

It seems that the other party wants to try our quality? Zhou Yu muttered in his heart, if he admits defeat and begs for mercy, it is estimated that he will inevitably die, and if he draws his knife to face each other, there may be a way to live.

"It seems that the Venerable Driver has been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and wants to move? Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and it's good to play with you for a few rounds. With that, Zhou Yu took off his shirt, revealing his sturdy upper body, picked up the sword of atonement by the stream and inserted it back into his waist.

"Good, good! The ignorant junior has such courage, let me admire and admire! The man grabbed the reins and stopped moving. More than ten meters away, he looked up and down from the helmet of the black hole, and the boy who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth.

"Come on, I don't know how to play?" Zhou Yu spat at his hand, rubbed his hands, and wanted to sprinkle a handful of magnesium powder into the air, but the conditions did not allow it.

"Both sides sprint against the horse, and the one who falls loses." Said the armored rider on the other side.

"Okay, I'll play with you." Zhou Yu was about to turn over and get on the horse, but was grabbed by the wrist. A shadow sprang out in front of him.

"Go away!" The Metropolitan Governor was a little angry and tried to push Nika away. He is the leader, and of course he should be in charge of the duel.

Nika was dressed as a woman at this time, and unlike the slave soldiers, who wore silver on her face, she wore a thick linen scarf on her face, which made it difficult to distinguish between male and female at first glance. At this moment, blocking in front of Zhou Yu, her feet were like rocks, and she didn't give way no matter how Zhou Yu pushed and pulled.

"Okay, okay, here you go!" Zhou Yu saw that she was playing with her temperament, and knew that it was not appropriate to fight here and now, so he let go of his hand and shrugged his shoulders. I really don't know what you think, this girl, you stand by and watch when you should make a move, you shouldn't rush out, but you pretend to have a big head. But after thinking about it, I felt warm for this girl's affection and righteousness, and this was the fifth time she had saved her life.

"Be careful." Zhou Yu patted Nika on the shoulder, but saw that the girl turned around and nodded at him, although he couldn't see her face, he felt that she was smiling.

The Governor didn't know what Nika was thinking now, and she was wearing the armor of the anointed on her body, and she couldn't beat him no matter how much she could. Especially now that everyone is sharing weal and woe, and being in the same boat through thick and thin, if she doesn't stand up, will she wait for a while for Zhou Yu to lose and be stewed?
