Xiao Chen felt as if his face was being caressed by willow branches in the spring breeze, and when he opened his eyes slightly, he found that it was green hair, and the aura emitted was like a grassland full of wild flowers. He rested his chin on the back of the man's shoulder, his head against the other's ear.

There was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves all around, and then Xiao Chen found himself in the middle of the horse team, and he was tied to a rider. He felt sore, a sequelae of extreme muscle tightness and fatigue. When his soul was invaded by those painful images, his body was also tested. He tried to straighten up, and instantly felt as if the muscles in his waist and abdomen were torn, and he couldn't help but scream.

The rider turned around, and Xiao Chen found that he was tied to the little girl who was Katarina. He was half a head taller than Katarina, and he must have exhausted her all the way to lying on top of her.

"Ah, Xiao, Lord Xiao, you're awake. For some reason, Caterina found that Xiao Chen had woken up, and suddenly stammered a little nervously.

"How long have you been carrying me?"

"No, it didn't take long, just a little while. ”

Xiao Chen touched the clothes on his chest and abdomen, which seemed to be sticking to the other party for a long time, he looked at the sky again and said, "Since we left Phoenix Village, you have carried me on your back, right?"

"They are all vying to carry you, but they are too heavy, and two people affect the horsepower, and I am lighter, and my riding skills are better than theirs. ”

Xiao Chen gently patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

But he found that the other party's body trembled, and instead of answering, he whipped the horse twice.

Xiao Chen said: "It seems that you are quite afraid of me." Actually, I'm a very friendly person, and last time it was a thing, what a misunderstanding. I apologize to you. ”

Caterina held the reins tightly and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "It's all my fault." ”

Xiao Chen looked from behind and found that the roots of her ears were red, and her cheeks were like tomatoes, which added a bit of cuteness.

"Don't worry, we have an old saying there, people can't help themselves, I didn't use that magic against you. ”

"Don't say it. You ......" Catalina exclaimed, her hand slipping, and even the whip fell. Her face grew redder, the reins in her hand tightened tighter and tighter, and the dark horse under the seat shook its head unhappily.

"We don't know each other......"

Caterina suddenly glanced back at Xiao Chen, and there seemed to be a ...... in her green eyes Murderous?

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that he was stupid, and he kept mentioning her peeing pants in front of a little girl. He laughed dryly twice and asked, "Where are we going?"

Caterina did not answer, she whistled, and a white horse came up from behind, she drew her dagger from her boots, cut the rope that was tied to their waists, and with a blow of her hands and feet, she turned over on the white horse. The vigorous appearance is completely different from the embarrassment of stammering just now.

In the blink of an eye, the person in front of Xiao Chen disappeared, Xiao Chen lost his center of gravity and fell on the horse's back at once, his nose made intimate contact with the horse's neck, and he screamed out in pain.

The mercenaries on the horses around them laughed, and Caterina let out a gee-gritty laugh, "You're awake, I have to report to the chief." ”

As soon as she grabbed the horse's belly, the white horse ran away, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped out.

By the time Xiao Chen arrived at the front of the group, Caterina was gone, and Kalanda said that she had taken the initiative to scout again. Chen Hansheng and the others were very happy to see Xiao Chen wake up.

"Old Xiao, brothers are interesting enough, isn't it cool to let a big Lori carry you?" Cai Long asked narrowly.

Xiao Chen raised a hand and said, "Do you want to scare you and make you feel refreshed?" Cai Long suddenly closed his mouth.

"Or do you want to come?" he looked at Li Tianrui, who shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't add to the chaos, other girls want fame. After saying this, he no longer ignored the laughing crowd, but asked about Karanda's current condition.

"We're chasing horse thieves. Judging by the traces, this team of horse thieves was about one hundred and sixty or seventy people, and judging from the number of them, we guessed that they were several horse thieves operating together, and they were half a day away from us. In the end, Lord Chen decided to pursue them and annihilate the thieves in the wilderness. ”

"The leader was a blue-haired man. Xiao Chen said with slightly squinted eyes.

As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, several people around him suddenly fell silent, they looked at each other, and they didn't know why Xiao Chen made this assertion.

"Did you use prophecy magic?" asked Kalanda cautiously.

"I saw the scene. Xiao Chen said, "This man is very cruel, he uses a scimitar, he always pushes back from the bottom to the top, and kills many people in the village, even children." The other bandit was a bald man with an axe who liked to cut people off at the waist. There was also a woman with a bow and arrows who liked to kill like hunting, and each arrow was shot at a person's head. ”

"Mais, it must be 'Blue Wolf' Mais, this guy has always been ruthless, and from his territory to Floro, he must pass through the village of Phoenix. Kalanda said, glancing at a few of his companions around him, their eyes reddening, "Finally, we met him." ”

"Meiss, damn Meiss, that bald head must be Ruth, these two dogs killed Edor, I'm going to smash them!" said the giant Gameiro with a slap on his thigh.

"That bitch has to be 'Falcon-Eye' Monica. Bastian died at her hand. Boss, we didn't even see her face last time, and this time we must avenge Bastian!" Adams and a few of Kalanda's teammates shouted. Several even drew their own weapons.

"These people are the bandit leaders around them, not only Blue Flame has a grudge against them, but several of our regiments have their blood debts!" said Osa, the leader of the Iron Axe Regiment. The horse thieves and the mercenary group are like a pair of spears and shields, and they don't know how many times they have clashed with each other in past missions.

Kalanda looked at Xiao Chen, "My lord." ”

"I understand. Xiao Chen said, "I'm just like you, I have revenge to avenge!"

———————————————————————

In the dark night, Xiao Chen lurked in the woods, looking at the horse thief camp on the small slope ahead, the horse thieves set up tents and simple fences around the bonfire on the slope, the bonfire was very obvious in the night, the firelight turned the figures of the people walking in the camp into a large one, and reflected on the trees like giants dancing. Singing and frolicking faintly emanated from the camp, making it look like people from another world camping in the wilderness. However, thinking that there was a group of bloodthirsty butchers hidden in this quiet joy, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to turn this camp into a sea of fire.

The horse thieves seemed to be tired after the day's travel, raiding, and venting. After a while, there were few people walking around in the open space outside the tent. Many simply fell drunk on the edge of the campfire and slept in the open air.

"Lord Xiao, can your magic knock down the location of that campfire, and if that power of fear can erupt from the middle of the camp, it will be much easier to move. Kalanda knelt down on one knee at his side and asked in a whisper.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes, sensed silently for a while, shook his head, and said, "It's too far." My fear magic can't reach that far. Maybe I can come with you and release you closer. ”

"It's too dangerous. Now that you've hired us, we can't let you risk it while we're not down. Since there is no magic, let's rely on our swords. Kalanda flatly rejected Xiao Chen's proposal.

The robbery of the camp can be said in a thousand changes in the story, but when it comes down to the real world, it is nothing more than pulling out the sentry, setting fire to the village, killing people while the chaos is taking advantage of the chaos, and blocking the escape route.

Xiao Chen and they secretly followed the horse thieves here, and with a slight advantage of troops, they surrounded the other party's camp in the dark night, and they had already taken advantage of the right time and place. The key tonight is actually how to minimize the loss.

After Xiao Chen and the others discussed with the mercenary leaders including Kalanda, they simply divided the team into four groups, with the half-elf archer Cole leading more than thirty archers to pull out the sentries and set fires, and Caterina led a small team of centaurs to capture the war horses. Kalanda and Chen Hansheng led a team of nearly 100 people to raid the camp, and Xiao Chen and Li Tianrui each led a team of about 50 people to guard the two passages outside the camp.

————————————————————————

Xiao Chen led the team to trek through the woods, because the road he was responsible for blocking was on the other side of the camp, and in order to prevent the horse thieves from discovering their movements, he could only make a big circle.

He walked a little slowly, afraid of making too much noise, and he was followed by Kalanda's deputy, another warrior with a fighting spirit, Adams. For some reason, he was wearing chain mail, but his movement was still much smaller than Xiao Chen's, and so were the mercenaries behind him, a large group of people walked in the leafy forest, only making a gentle rustling sound.

Xiao Chen was a little apprehensive in his heart, everyone knew that fighting a war was the most uncertain thing, and maybe a small thing would lead to a very different ending from what people predicted. However, in order to maintain the calm that the leader deserves, he had to be patient and try to be as calm as possible. He kept looking for all kinds of reasons in his mind to tell himself that the goddess of victory must be on their side today.

He secretly observed Adams, who was walking in front, but the young warrior looked confident.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask him, "Adams, it looks like you're full of confidence." ”

Adams' face was a little red, and the excitement on his face had not subsided: "My lord, today is the death date of Mais. I promised Leo to bring Maus's head to his hospital bed, and I would do it. ”

"You guys have a really good relationship. It's very different from everyone else. It's like ......"

"It's like a family. Yes, thanks to the head. Many of us were brought up by her as children. For example, my vindictiveness was also taught by her. She's my sister, Leo is my brother, and we're family. Adams said with a smile.

Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard from a distance, but halfway through the roar, the sound stopped abruptly. Soon, there were shouts and screams in the woods.

"Oops, my lord, they attacked ahead of time. Adams suddenly looked at the burning sky and said, "The operation must have been discovered." ”

Xiao Chen's forehead was in the cold wind, beads of sweat broke out, and he thought for a while and said, "We must speed up and reach the ambush point." ”

Adams nodded, urging the other mercenaries to speed up, and at this time, they didn't care about their hidden whereabouts, and they all ran quickly. Xiao Chen ran, but he was a little worried in his heart, Kalanda and Lao Chen didn't make a secret raid, would they have to directly face the prepared enemy this time? Those terrible screams reminded him of the crazy killing figures of the horse thieves in the memory fragments, and he always unconsciously matched these voices with Lao Chen's faces.

Are these madmen really something they can deal with?

Xiao Chen said to Adams with some hesitation: "When we arrive at the intersection, do we need to recoil in and give Kalanda some support?

Adams looked at him a little strangely and said, "The leader and several leaders are very powerful warriors. In their team alone, the number of masters exceeds that of horse thieves. You can rest assured that we will not be afraid of them, even if we put ourselves in a fair position. ”

"Moreover, the horse thieves are now at a disadvantage. ”

"How do you know?"

"In battle, there is nothing more deadly than chaos, I listen to the voice of horse thieves, they have not been organized until now, they are all hastily fighting. We will surely be defeated by our men. Adams affirmed.
