Xiao Chen rode on his horse and marched quickly in the night. In front of him and behind him were a group of riders in the dark. Chen Hansheng and Li Tianrui sandwiched him between left and right, and looked at him from time to time, afraid that he would suddenly fall down due to physical exhaustion. A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Hansheng shivered when he saw Xiao Chen, and said with concern: "Is it cold? ”

Xiao Chen tightened the leather clothes on his body, this is the clothes he bought in Suero, the workmanship is rough, but it is very windproof, "It's much better, I feel overdrawn in my mental strength, I don't want to do it again." It's like...... A spoonful of brain pulp was gouged out. ”

Li Tianrui looked at Xiao Chen with a palpitating look and smiled: "If you can exchange this ability for me, I will be happy to have a headache as many times as I want." If you don't have that magic, you won't be able to deal with them if it's in the hands of Meis. ”

Xiao Chen could see the envy in Li Tianrui's eyes, and maybe a hint of jealousy, but he smiled calmly and said, "When I find a safe way to learn magic, I will definitely try to teach it to everyone." My situation can only be regarded as an adventure, and it cannot be replicated. ”

Guo Qian asked Xiao Chen not to easily reveal the process of learning magic, so Xiao Chen also nodded, Li Tianrui nodded and said, "We can stretch our necks and wait." ”

Chen Hansheng said again at this time: "If you don't rush to save your life, we don't have to be in such a hurry, let you rush with injuries." Listening to the news on the road, they are likely to have already started a fight, which makes people feel unsure. ”

"Say worried. I'm less worried now. Xiao Chen's answer surprised Chen Hansheng.

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Li Tianrui first.

"Xiao Li, you have also seen a group of horse thieves, how do you feel about their combat effectiveness?"

Li Tianrui pondered for a while and said, "If you want to talk about personal martial arts, they are indeed good. However, the organization was a little chaotic, there was no formation, there was no discipline, and they rushed up. The morale is not very good, and it is messed up as soon as we raid it. In addition to the fact that we have several guns, the advantage is obvious. ”

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What if they are all cold weapons?"

Li Tianrui pondered for a while and said, "If we all use cold weapons, they are still not our opponents. The more people there are, the more chaotic they are, and the greater our advantage. If my former company were here, I wouldn't have to worry about facing several times as many enemies like this. ”

"What if it's a convoy?"

"Escort team ......" Li Tianrui hesitated, the escort team has two perverts, Ji Yijun and Ye Zi, but the level of the general team members is not flattering, "It's really hard to say, the escort team is still much worse than the regular army...... If we were that confident, we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"You say the escort team is not as good as these horse thieves?" Chen Hansheng asked rhetorically.

Li Tianrui was silent.

Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not so pessimistic, I believe that the school's guards won't lose to them." ”

"Faith alone can't win battles. Li Tianrui said with some irritation, "I also had a nightmare yesterday, dreaming that when we arrived, they were all dead and the school was ransacked by horse thieves. ”

Speaking of such a nightmare, Chen Hansheng also frowned.

"But you can't do it without faith. Xiao Chen said, "When I raided the horse thieves, I saw a lot of things, and after I was captured by Mais, I heard a lot of things from them. I find our strengths to be clear. ”

"Although our team has limited technical and tactical ability and has never been on the battlefield, all of us are screws cultivated by an industrialized society, and everyone has a clear understanding of discipline and knows their role and place in the team. The structure of the entire escort team is clear, and even if Wang Jiyuan can't command his fingers, he can be regarded as having a smooth military order. And the horse thieves are cobbled together, not to mention having discipline, they themselves have new and old hatreds, and this time they were forced together by a big business, and it would be good if there was no infighting. It's all the mentality of waiting for others to be cannon fodder first. You should know best how important discipline and the desire to fight are to a troop, right?"

"That being said, however, the guards are not real warriors, and I don't believe that Wang Jiyuan will charge them in the rain of arrows. Li Tianrui retorted.

"Then we have to talk about another advantage of ours. We have no way out, defeat is death, or becoming slaves, they clearly know that they must work hard to have a chance to live. What makes warriors brave is not ignorance, not money, but that they know what they want to defend. Danger is our motivation and confidence! When a dog is in a hurry, he will jump over a wall, let alone a group of people who have been trained with weapons?"

When Li Tianrui heard this, he glanced at the mercenaries around him, "According to what you said, I'm afraid this unit we brought can only fight a smooth battle." ”

"I understood this after my team was broken by the two of Meiss. If we want to win, we can only rely on ourselves. Xiao Chen whispered.

"I'm afraid that's really the case, the team fighting for money is unreliable. Chen Hansheng agreed, he glanced at Kalanda and the others who followed closely behind them, "Even if some people are reliable, it's only because a few people have better character." ”

"But we've counted just a few people. Even if we survive this catastrophe, what will happen in the future? Do we have to let our people fight by ourselves? If we all fight out, what will we do to defend ourselves?" Li Tianrui asked.

"Let's talk about it later! Let's fight this battle first. Chen Hansheng stopped the trend of continuing the discussion and sighed: "I don't know what they will be like when we get to school." ”

Although Xiao Chen did not answer Li Tianrui's words, he knew that the other party had raised a good question, and he had been thinking about this question for the past few days, and he had some thoughts in his heart.

Both Kalanda and Caterina followed behind them, and the people in front of them were arguing about something, but they didn't understand.

However, Caterina's mind is not here, and since Adams was killed by Mais, she has been in poor spirits and has a sad face. But Kalanda didn't see any change, and her expression was as serious and cold as usual.

"Lady Kalanda, how long are we going to go?" Chen Hansheng asked, turning around at this time.

"At the current pace, we could have arrived in Floro by midnight. Kalanda replied immediately.

"Good. When we got to Floro half an hour away, we could rest for half an hour and recuperate. Chen Hansheng said.

"Lord Chen, your idea is very correct. We'd better get in from the weak ground behind their encirclement, when we have enough horsepower and manpower. In this way, we can work together inside and outside to give them a heavy blow. When we're resting, I'll let Caterina lead the scouts and get a good feel for their deployment. Kalanda replied with a blank look.

"Very well! When we rest, we have to discuss the distribution of the team again, and I think we need to concentrate our forces as much as possible, and not allow another thing like the day of the night attack, otherwise a rout could happen at any time. Chen Hansheng said.

Kalanda's face changed slightly, and she nodded in response, "Yes." ”

Xiao Chen seemed to sense the change in Karanda's mood over again, and interjected, "We are very sympathetic to Adams's plight, it can be said that he died to save me. But failure is failure, and we must face it without personal feelings. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"I understand. "Adams is a soldier, he understands this, and if we can think so, he will be at ease in the arms of the god of nature." ”

Kalanda rode back to Caterina's side and ordered her scouts to prepare their scouts for two hours to go.

Two hours, the magician's strange unit of time, but Caterina was familiar with it now, and she looked at a plastic watch on her wrist. This was a gift from Xiao Chen to her the day before yesterday, saying that it was to thank her for riding a horse on his back, but she knew that maybe he just hoped that he could let go of the sadness caused by Adams' death and come out of the tears as soon as possible.

Seeing that Caterina was still in no energy, Kalanda said Xiao Chen's words to persuade her.

"Who said that?"

"You don't have to worry about it. "Just know that." ”

"It must have been Xiao Chen's words, right?" Caterina asked, "It sounds cold, but I really understand Adams's thoughts." ”

Kalanda nodded.

"He's such a strange guy. Caterina whispered to Kalanda, "After being kidnapped by those bastards last time and almost killed, he seems to have gotten more energetic. ”

Kalanda gave her a look of surprise, then nodded after a while, "Maybe he's figured something out." Magicians always have a lot of strange thoughts and can see a lot of things that we can't see. It's no surprise that we don't understand their minds. They are not the same kind of people as us after all. ”

However, he avenged Adams. ”

"I know Adams treats you like his own sister. Kalanda's voice became serious, "However, you are a mercenary, remember such a rule, mercenaries do not shed tears for the past. We walk on the road and can only look forward. Lord Xiao killed Maiss to save himself, and you don't owe him anything. ”

Caterina picked up some meaning in Kalanda's words, she covered the watch on her wrist and asked in a low voice, "You...... Are you admonishing me?"

"I think you should return to him what he gave you, you took him on a horse, it's just a small thing, and it doesn't deserve such a gift, let alone the meaning behind it. Kalanda paused for a moment, as if struggling to choose the right words, "With people who are not from the same world...... Pay more attention to the way, a powerful magician is like a whirlpool, maybe you will be crushed if you are not careful. ...... Perhaps, it would be better for you to stay away from him. ”

The green-haired girl pursed her lips and couldn't speak, but her hands were clutching the cheap watch, refusing to let go of the slightest.
