Chapter 45: The Bandits
Eventually, the dark pilgrims with their arms removed were stabbed into a honeycomb by the young women they had kidnapped.
The last young woman in a pale pink wool dress wiped the blood splashed on her face, and then came to Li Mu, "Thank you, honorable Excellency, my name is Jamila, and we are grateful to you for being able to lend a helping hand in times of crisis. Our hometown has been devoured by war, and the few of us who survived have been caught by these madmen to sacrifice to their evil gods, and if it weren't for you, it's hard for us to imagine what the future will be. You are a brave mercenary, and I would like to earn a place in your team to repay your favor. ”
Speaking of this, the young woman seemed to see the difficulty on Li Mu's face, and hurriedly added, "I can do a lot of things, I can wash clothes and cook, I know how to read, I can do a little simple fighting, in addition, my father is a doctor, I am also familiar with some simple bandaging and trauma treatment, please give me a chance." ”
Before Li Mu could say anything, another short-haired woman in a blue dress also walked up, "My name is Cress, not as much as this young lady, but I am very good at dancing guns and sticks, and I also followed my father to hunt in the mountains when I was a child, and I am good at tracking wild beasts, if I can, I am willing to contribute to this team." ”
"Oh, I understand the mood of several ladies," Li Mu stopped the remaining young women who were about to express their position at the right time, "I understand your feelings, but I don't want you to join my team with the feeling of repaying your kindness, my team is going to Chanda, where will I place you, I believe that Chanda Town will accept you people properly." Of course, at that time, if you still want to join my team of mercenaries who have to lick blood every day, then I am welcome. In short, I hope that you will join us with a rational attitude and not with a heart to repay the favor. ”
By this time, Manid and Mama Tea had already looted the belongings from the corpse. In Mamacha's words, "too poor." "Nothing but a few daggers, some dry food and seasonings. Money-searched, all the pilgrims, and a total of twenty dinars were obtained, which was not enough to repair the weapons.
"Boss, what to do with these corpses?" Mama Cha pointed to the corpses in this place, "If you don't deal with it quickly, the strong bloody aura will attract the beasts that come out to hunt." Although we are not afraid, it is too troublesome, and it is quite difficult to get rid of wild beasts that live in groups. ”
"Burn these corpses, don't they like to purify the world with flames, let them themselves be purified by flames often." Li Mu said indifferently.
Mama Cha immediately dragged the corpses together, piled up a pile of corpses, threw some wood and oil on them, and then threw a torch on them, and a huge pile of flames began to burn.
After a while, the smell of the burnt corpse began to diffuse, and Li Mu fanned the smoke that floated in front of him, "This place can't stay anymore, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will attract other predators, while it is not too dark, let's change places, is there any other camping place nearby to choose?" ”
Mama Cha scratched her head and thought for a while, "This is the border between the Nord Kingdom and the Kingdom of Vekia, I used to fight with the people of the Kugit Khanate, and I am not too familiar with this area, but if you follow the trade route, you should be able to find villages or camps left by the predecessors." ”
"I know this area," said Kress at this time, "when I was a little girl, my father brought me to this area, and I remember that there was a little village called Sanbuga, three miles from here, in a small col, where there were many cattle and the grapes were sweet. ”
"Oh, yes, let's go over then, it's nice to be able to sleep in the wilderness." Li Mu threw the things on the horse's back, "Everyone work hard, let's go to Sangbujia tonight for the night, and we can go to Chanda tomorrow." ”
Three miles away is not far, if you walk, it is a few minutes away, and there is a small village opposite where you can still find one or two when you have a good sight. However, due to the special terrain of Sangbuga, the whole village is built in the col of a small hill, and it is not easy for outsiders to find it if it is not at a certain angle or happens to pass by.
Li Mu: They turned a corner under the leadership of Kress before they saw a small village built in the middle of the mountain col.
By this time, the peaceful village of Sanbuga had turned into a bloody battlefield, and a large group of peasants with pitchforks and sickles gathered at the entrance of the village to confront a dozen bandits riding horses, carrying scimitars, and armed with bows and arrows.
One of the bandits at the head rode a horse and kept going back and forth at the entrance of the village, "I'll put my words here today, if you can't hand over the food we need today, then your whole village is ready to die here." ”
"Hollande, you've been here three times this month, and we don't have any extra food in our village, so don't blame us for fighting with you if you're going to rob it." An old man with a pitchfork shouted at the entrance of the village.
"Yes, fight."
"Fight."
The villagers at the entrance of the village should be in harmony with the old man's words.
"Hehe, what's wrong with being here three times, who made you the richest in this area, since you don't know what to do, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. If you release arrows, I don't believe that you can't find food. With a wave of his hand, Hollande picked up the bows and arrows in his hands, mounted their bows and arrows, and with the sound of a swishing bowstring, a dozen sharp arrows shot into the camp of the villagers.
"I've got an arrow in the arm."
"My shoulder."
"Brother, brother, how are you?"
Although the bandits' bows and arrows were homemade hunting bows and were not as strong as those used by regular armies, a direct shot at this distance would still injure people, and shooting them in a fatal position would also cause the death of the attacker.
In the face of the fierce shot of bows and arrows, the villagers who did not have the command of the system immediately messed up. Some of them were armed with weapons and tried to push away the arrows, some turned and ran, some rushed forward, and some held their relatives and friends who were hit by the arrows and shouted incessantly......
After disrupting the formation of the villagers with two rounds of bows and arrows, Hollande drew his scimitar, "Brothers, rush with me, don't add blood, everything you grabbed today belongs to you, and you don't need to pay public food." ”
Hearing Hollande's declaration, the bandits became excited, drew their scimitars and rushed towards the villagers. The two sides fought together.
