Chapter Eighty-Two: Down the Mountain
Chapter 82: Down the Mountain
Looking at the hill in front of him and the caravan array above, Matthew jumped off his horse, kicked a stone at his feet hard, strode to the side of the rock and sat down, feeling annoyed in his heart.
"Damn untouchables! Damn it! Damn it!"
Matthew scolded fiercely. The whip in his hand cracked through the air in a series of damn sounds, and the grass in front of him broke inch by inch. Dozens of men dressed as bandits next to him all twisted their heads in unison, pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if they hadn't heard.
They are all Matthew's servants or Wenger's henchmen, and they have been following Matthew for more than a year, and they know their young master best.
Past experience told them that whenever the young master was angry and cursed the "untouchables" with a hideous face, he must have thought of the little black handyman who had brought him to this field. If anyone doesn't want to get a few lashes on the head of the untouchable, it's best to stay away.
A temper tantrum was fierce. Matthew flicked the horsewhip to the ground, took the water bladder that Hu Cong had carefully handed over, lifted the helmet mask and poured a big mouthful, and bullied violently, his eyes were yīn.
He thought it was terrible!
A year and a half ago, Matthew led his family's soldiers and accompanied the Templar Lev into the Beast Mountains to hunt down Roy. As a result, Roy's head was not obtained, and the search party was wiped out. He himself abandoned Lev under Roy's terrifying magic and fled alone.
Back at the castle, old Wenger, after carefully inquiring about what had happened, slapped him twice, sent him away overnight, and secretly executed several sentries and servants who saw Matthew returning. Create the illusion that Matthew and the search team are missing and their fate is uncertain.
From that day on, Matthew could only hide in the mountains and forests as a dead man.
For Matthew, who has been pampered since he was a child, the life in the mountains and forests for more than a year has been a long and painful torture.
There is no comfortable and soft bedroom, no ball, no excitement, no like-minded aristocratic children, and no fun to seduce those shy aristocratic ladies or bully some spicy village girl.
But he could only endure it. The Wenger family, having offended the royal family, has been in the same boat as the Holy See. If the Dozhì family was abandoned by the Holy See again because he left the Knights Templar's honorable and just knight Lev to flee for his life alone, then the Wenger family would be finished.
At that time, even if the elder Wenger treated his only son as a treasure again, he would not be able to keep him.
And this qiē is all because of that little bastard named Roy! Matthew slammed the water bladder in his hand to the ground and kicked it away.
Although Roy's appearance is now too vague to remember, to Matthew, this shadow is like an invisible ghost, hún, who has always followed him. I don't know when it will suddenly pop out of my mind and ignite his anger.
"Calm down, calm down!" Matthew muttered to himself, closing his eyes, "There are still three days left." As long as this ticket is done and the old man sets off, I will be relieved!"
However, the helmet on his face, which he was not allowed to take off as soon as he came out of the cottage, the smell of sweat of the dirty bandits beside him, and their vulgar habit of picking his nose and scratching his crotch, made him sick for a while!
What made him even more angry was the car formation on the mountain in front of him!
"Dark!" Matthew growled.
With his roar, a heavily armed knight the width of two men strode towards him with his sword in his hand.
"Young Master!"
"Sue me, what's going on?" Seeing Duck walk in front of him, Matthew pointed to the hill with a blue tendon on his forehead: "Who leaked the news, who is it?!"
"No one, young master. No one has leaked the news. I promise. Duck muffled. There was no expression on a huge ugly face.
"You promise?" Facing the most loyal and powerful knight under his command, Matthew tried his best to control his feelings, and spun in place like an anxious hungry wolf, "Then you tell me, if no one leaks the news, how can this caravan be able to set up a chariot formation here in advance?"
"I don't know, young master. Darker replied dryly, a hoarse grin coming out of his throat, "However, we'll break down their formations and let them know that they can't go anywhere but Hell!"
Matthew squinted at Duck for a long time and snorted coldly.
Ever since the Firetes had taken over Bolabel and massively landed on the southwest coast of Lurian, Arsene Wenger had known that sooner or later his family's domain would become a battlefield. Thus, taking advantage of the momentum of attachment to the Holy See, the elder Wenger began to predatory taxation of the territory and the surrounding villages. For more than a year, the Wenger family has plundered a great deal of wealth and more than doubled the size of their armed forces.
And with the two Phillips coming to the city of Medin, the Wenger family has a more and more strict sense of crisis. In order to make a final profit, they began to cooperate with the Black Skull bandits.
Juan and Arsene Wenger had jiāo Dao many years ago.
Few people know that the reason why Juan was able to escape unharmfully under the overwhelming wanted warrant was because of the protection of Wenger, a second-class viscount.
And when Juan, who had been hidden for many years, then the war swept the coastal húnluàn situation again, the Wenger family also had a butcher's knife hidden in the shadows.
The two sides hit it off.
On the surface, Viscount Wenger's guards set up a guard on the road leading to Muuni City. While isolating Jiāo Tong and controlling the flow of people according to his own intentions and needs, he drove away all the other bandit groups and created conditions for the Black Skull bandits to eat alone.
Secretly, Matthew led some of the sī soldiers disguised as bandits, hid in the bandits, and joined forces with Scarface Juan to plunder.
This kind of crime of the official and bandit family can be described as impenetrable. Most of the caravans that were attacked were slaughtered. Even if someone occasionally desperately tries to find a soldier of the Wenger Guard, it is still a sheep, not only is it not protected, but it is in vain.
In just one month, the Black Skull bandits committed more than 20 crimes and looted a large amount of goods. But even so, Matthew and others still felt that making money was too slow.
Especially with the date of the Wenger family's departure approaching and the vigilance of the military and the panic of the people caused by a series of robberies, they are even more eager to finally get a big vote.
It was at this time that the big féi sheep of the Fergus caravan and the small féi sheep of the cactus caravan appeared.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The goods of the two caravans, totaling more than 1,200,000 gold and lover, were a piece of féiròu that could not be let go of either the Black Skull bandits or the Wenger family. To this end, Matthew and Juan not only ordered people to monitor each other's every move at all times, but also put a lot of effort into the location and timing of the raid.
According to the original plan, they first passed the checkpoints set up along the Guò and let the two teams go. Make it unconsciously break away from the crowd and become a lonely "lonely sheep". Then Viscount Wenger flanked the guards who had already ambushed in front of him and the Black Skull bandits behind them, and swallowed them in one gulp.
But no one expected that when the caravan was not far from the attack site, the flint consortium walking in front suddenly stopped.
Not only did they stop, but they pulled the convoy off the road, set up a formation on a hillside, and sent out scouts in all directions.
This time, completely luàn Luàn their plan.
In order to prevent the opponent's road scout from passing through the checkpoint, the guards in front should kill the road scout first and pounce on this side. And the bandit group behind couldn't hide their bodies in the face of one bo after another's road detectives, so they simply didn't do anything and attacked the cactus caravan.
And then ...... It became the situation in front of us.
Matthew stared at the hill with a sly gaze.
From where he was, the so-called hill was actually nothing more than a small mound thirty or forty meters high. But the opposing convoy was entrenched on it, and the carriages were one after the other, and the heavy baffles with iron sheets were stuck at the edge of the mound, high and steep. If you want to attack it, you don't know how many lives you have to take to fill it!
"Send someone to urge the guards immediately. Let them speed up!" After looking at it for a long time, Matthew said to Dark, "Also, tell Juan, after half a prayer hour, attack!"
"Yes, young master!" Duck commanded.
Seeing Dock leave, Matthew looked at the car array on the hillside, his eyes were full of blazing hope, and muttered: "I must get this 1.2 million gold Lulang!"
......
......
"Which two pieces of good news?!"
On the top of the hill hundreds of meters away from Matthew, Fergus grabbed Roy with his backhand and asked urgently.
In the eyes of everyone, the black boy crouched on the railing, looked at the bottom of the mountain with a smile, and said leisurely: "The first good news is that you don't have to worry about the other party's fire attack. ”
"Oh?"
"Why?"
As soon as he heard this, not only Fergus's eyes lit up, but the people next to him also suddenly came to the god Jīng. This question is exactly what everyone was most worried about before!
"There are two reasons for this, first, I know Matthew. Since he had chosen these two caravans, then, with his greed, he would never be willing to burn the millions of Jin Lulang's goods until the last moment. Therefore, these goods are our talismans in the early and middle stages of the battle. Hearing this explanation, Alder snorted disdainfully. In this case, they have had the same judgment before. However, no matter how greedy the enemy is, in the end, if he can't attack for a long time, he will still make a dead move!
This máo head kid is so naïve!
Just as Alder's cold snort sounded, he saw Roy turn his head, look at him with a smile, and hook the corners of his mouth: "Secondly, I forgot to tell everyone, I am a registered magic pattern master of the Divine Craftsman Hall, as long as there are enough magic cores, I can make this place a world of water." ”
As soon as he heard these three words, Alder's cold snort stopped abruptly, and his mouth opened wide, like a frog with his neck choked. Fergus and the others next to him were also dumbfounded, and their exclamations couldn't help but drown out Roy's words later.
Demon Pattern Master, this kid is actually a Demon Pattern Master!
Fergus was stunned for a while, his eyes lit up, and he looked Roy up and down.
"No wonder!
Until then, he had been trapped in Roy's identity. Compared with the rich and noble children he had ever seen, when Roy was not talking, he was simply an honest hillbilly, and he did not look like a nobleman who could have a knight like Ivan as an entourage in terms of clothing, appearance and conversational temperament.
But if he were a magician, it would be different!
A registered magician who is registered in the Divine Craftsman Hall, but the nobles are vying for the object of jiāo. Especially those old family demon pattern masters, which one doesn't follow a few knights as bodyguards?
For a while, everyone was surprised and delighted.
The Holy Emperor is above, in this world, is there anyone who doesn't understand the importance of having a Demon Pattern Master in a defense-oriented battle?
Not to mention anything else, Roy's carving of the water system magic pattern on the carriage alone has solved everyone's biggest concern. If he had enough jīng divine power and perception to add some defensive or offensive magic patterns to the car formation, it would be a disaster for the Black Skull bandits below!
Even if they fill it with human lives, they don't want to break through the chariot formation in twenty-four prayer hours!
Hahahaha, Fergus laughed. In the midst of laughter, Roy asked, "I think, the most important thing in the caravan is the magic core, right?"
"There is no shortage, there is no short!" said Fergus.
How did he know that Roy's space ring was full of magic cores, but he was reluctant to take them out because of his wealth. A bold wave of his hand at the moment.
"As much as you need. One-fifth of our cargo is a magic core. If you have the ability, I won't feel sorry for all of them, and I'll stoning them to death!"
"That's good. Roy smiled and nodded.
"Quick, tell me, what's the second piece of good news?" Fergus asked curiously, having solved the biggest problem, he suddenly relaxed.
"The second piece of good news is that the Order of the Red Leaves is stationed less than sixty kilometers from here, and if you send a message for help, it will only take six or seven prayers to get here. Roy said, glancing at Alder.
Hearing Roy's words, Alder couldn't help but snort coldly again.
Sending people to break through and ask for help is a truth that everyone understands. But the front and back were blocked by enemy checkpoints, and the road detectives sent out were either killed or driven back. At this time, even if you send people out, you have to take a long detour, and you have to walk a rugged mountain road where you can't ride a horse. When I ran out to report the news, the yellow huā vegetables were cold!
However, when he saw the appearance of the kid in front of him who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Alder immediately remembered the embarrassment just now, and the rough air sprayed into his nose and eyes instantly turned into two wisps of peace.
"This ......" Fergus frowned, looked left and right, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid no one here will be able to break through." The only thing I can count on is Mr. Ivan......"
"No need to send someone. Roy shook his head. Not to mention that he is unwilling to let Ivan take risks, even if Ivan can break through, he will be startled. sītong bandits are charged with robbery and murder, and he doesn't want to take it lightly. Now full of thoughts, is to take the whole Matthew family!
"Don't send someone?" everyone was stunned and looked at each other. I don't understand what Roy means.
"I mean, let it go. Facing everyone's sleepy eyes, Roy smiled and pointed to Oliver, who was tickling his belly at his feet.
This sentence was like a spell of immobilization, and Oliver and the others froze at once.
Everyone looked stupidly at the féi dog in front of them. The féi dog also looked at everyone stupidly with backward eyes, and suddenly covered the dick with his paws in embarrassment.
"Let the dog deliver the letter?" Fergus pointed at Oliver, incredulous. If nothing else, he didn't expect the dog to run two kilometers just by looking at his size. ,
Where is this dog, it's just a pig!
Roy nodded, and without explanation, asked for a parchment scroll and wrote a brief distress letter.
In the past year or so since eating the dragon egg, Oliver has changed amazingly. Both degree and strength have increased tremendously. In addition, it hunts with Roy all year round, and Jīng has all kinds of despicable and shameless fighting skills and has a dragon's breath, which can be called the overlord of the mountains and the earth, and no one can stop him if he wants to sneak out.
Securely strapped the letter to Oliver's collar, Roy reached out and slapped Oliver's ass.
"Remember Philip, find him!"
As soon as Roy's voice fell, he heard a whoosh. A black and white huā figure flickered, and then jumped off the platform, turned left and right in the crowd of carriages, and then disappeared into the slightly swaying grass.
The crowd looked up the hill in amazement, but they couldn't see anything.
The féi dog seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
A gust of wind blew, the wild grass in the wilderness swayed with the wind, and in the distance, the black and oppressive group of bandits suddenly moved. Countless steel knives and iron swords were shining against the sun, which was extremely dazzling
Roa。
