Chapter 19: Speculation
Very strong execution, Gu Xuan looked at the group of people who raided the bandits, showing the speed of a cheetah as swift as a cheetah, and the sharp sword that tore through all defenses, tearing the bandits in the camp to pieces.
The bandits in the camp were unable to organize a revolt, and their blood turned into a mist of blood and scattered on the ground. In less than a minute, the twenty or so bandits were wiped out.
Cyber then walked into the camp, and he didn't have the slightest hint of praise for the dazzling record of annihilating the enemy without any injuries.
Instead, he frowned, scanning the camp to see something. Suddenly, he thought of a shocking possibility, and hurriedly changed his expression and shouted, "Get out of here." ”
His troops immediately carried out the order, without any hesitation, but it was already too late.
At the summit of the mountain forest, a dense rain of arrows fell. At some point, a line of bandits stood on the top of the mountain, and they were firing a volley of bows and arrows. Although there is no skill at all, the position of the Cyber gang is too poor! As long as the bow and arrow are aimed at the soles of their feet and shot out, it will definitely affect them.
In this regard, the Cyber gang can only set up weapons and try their best to defend. However, with the continuous rain of arrows, it is inevitable that some people will accidentally defend improperly and be shot by an arrow.
Momentary pain took over his attention, followed by a new rain of arrows. Immediately, this careless person was shot into a beecom's nest and turned into a mutilated corpse.
Finally, when the number of thirty or so people in Cyber was sharply reduced to about a dozen, there were no more arrows shooting from the top of the mountain. One by one, they jumped out of the back of the camp, and at the same time, several figures appeared on the left and right sides of the camp, blocking their back path.
It turned out that there was also a group of people hiding in the dense jungle on the left and right, waiting for the Cyber group to take advantage of the opportunity to touch themselves in the face of the arrows.
"Shuke, why are you mercenary group here?" Cyber asked angrily and loudly. It seems that these twenty or so people in the camp are just bait sent to death! Now there are pursuers in front and interceptions in the back, so it can be said that they are in a desperate situation.
"Why do you say? Captain Cyber! The man who was called to Shuk stepped out of the crowd behind him. Squinting his eyes, he continued with a smile: "Of course you forced others too hard, and you had to find me in order to survive!" ”
"Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Empire!" Cyber stared at Shuck with a gloomy face. There were only about twenty men left in his troops, and each one was more or less scarred. He tried to scare off these mercenaries with a false tiger, after all, mercenaries are hyenas who pursue profits!
"Heh, as long as I get that thing, I can't let it go. And, Captain Cyber, do you really think that everyone, including you, will be able to escape from here? Shuke said with a grim smile, and suddenly this sentence was like a code of command, and the people of his mercenary group suddenly attacked Cyber.
Cyber's face changed drastically, and he immediately knew what Shuk was thinking. That is, they don't plan to leave a single mouth alive at all, so that no one will know that Cyber's death is related to Shuk!
Sonorous!
Shuk brandished his twin daggers and stabbed at the knives of the cyber defenses, and the sound of weapons clashing revealed the beginning of the bloody battle. The bandits in front of the Cyber group also drew their weapons and attacked with Shuck and the group.
The sound of swords clashing was endless, and gradually more and more people on the Cyber side fell. No, even if they are well equipped, but in the case of injuries, they have to face several times the number of enemies. After a while, only a few of his cronies were left on Cyber's side. Not only that, but Cyber's side of the waist also tore a big hole, and it was bleeding continuously.
Seeing this, Shuke's gang and the bandits also stopped attacking. They intend to move from offense to defense, delaying cyber bleeding to the point where they can't fight. After all, the Cyber group was too well equipped, and they lost more than twenty of their men in a battle.
"Shuke, I advise you not to mix in the muddy waters of this trip. Except for us, the Imperial Assassination Force, and General Estes, who have already arrived here. Not only did Shuck want to stall for time to make Cyber lose his combat power, but Cyber also dragged out time as he wished, and at the same time secretly made a gesture to let his cronies do something.
"So even if you know the exact location of the relic, do you really dare to go in?"
When Shuke and his group heard this, their faces changed drastically. If it is really as Cyber said, then they will not get any benefits from their efforts this time. On the contrary, because he killed Cyber and others, it is very likely that he will be found out and then hunted down by the Imperial Army!
Cyber's words directly disturbed their minds, and the cronies who received his instructions also began to make small movements secretly.
And Gu Xuan, who was eavesdropping in the distance, was also shocked to learn the news. He heard the news in the tavern that when the Imperial army and the alien people of the north fought a decisive battle, Estes would send it. So he always thought that Estes would now focus on preparing for war in the north.
Now that I think about it, the fall of the foreign army in the north was two years later when the plot began. So the question is, what has Estes been doing in the past two years?
Following this line of thought, the plot in Gu Xuan's mind about cutting the Crimson Pupil became enthusiastic. The leader of the Night Raid team: Najeshitan, who was originally a general who defected to the Empire. And the time of this defection seems to coincide with the time when the Western alien nation and the revolutionary army have formed an alliance.
When you think about it this way, the idea is clear. Because one of Najehitan's eyes and one arm was destroyed by the pursuing Estes when she defected. Then Gu Xuan can speculate on a possibility, that is, Najiehitan has not defected yet, and she is still a general with Estes.
However, when the two of them did something while leading the Imperial army on the march, Najehitan decided to flee the Empire. Then she fled from the northwest to the place where the alien peoples and the revolutionary army in the west were located.
This matter is likely to be closely related to the "ruins" in Cyber's mouth. If this is really the case, then what kind of fatal temptation will there be in the relics that are enough for the Empire to send two generals?
Bang!
Suddenly, a sound frightened everyone, and they saw that the cronies who were secretly making small movements completed his move. A flare flew into the sky and burst open, emitting an extremely conspicuous amount of orange-red smoke.
"You !! You" Shu Ke roared angrily, and he couldn't care about delaying time anymore, so his subordinates immediately besieged and killed Cyber and the others.
"Haha. Even if we die here, you will all be buried together. Cyber swung his blade to meet the attack, like a madman who didn't want to die.
He knew they were going to die here today, but he didn't want to die without knowing it. Now the flares are going out, and troops will arrive soon. By the time they reach this camp and follow the clues of the battle, they will surely find information about the Shuk mercenaries and the bandits. Then help them get their revenge!
At this time, Gu Xuan, who was flapping his wings, also rushed out. He wants to stop Shuk and the bandits from destroying the Cyber Gang, not only as a seed to bury a life-saving friendship, but also to learn some of the secrets of the relic.
After all, according to the meaning expressed by Cyber, the location of the relics seems to be unknown even to the imperial side. And the only person in the know is the leader of this gang of bandits who seek refuge in the Shuke mercenary group!!
