"First of all, who are you. ”

Hodge deliberately let his voice be low, and the hoarse tone came into Puran's ears, making him feel extremely oppressed, cold sweat slid down his cheeks, and the threat of death was imminent, in the face of this voice behind him, he didn't dare to do anything to hide, and honestly explained.

"We are the cavalry of Khotor Bay, and we belong to the elite guard regiment of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Codo Bay?

Hodge frowned when he heard this answer, knowing that Kodor Bay was a hundred miles away from the village, how could they be here?

"What are you here for? ”

Puran subconsciously swallowed his saliva and said, "The city lord of Lotat has issued a new decree that each guard team must complete the required bandit suppression targets within the quarter, otherwise they will be severely punished, so we have been running around in the snow for the past two months, looking for the footprints of the mountain bandits. ”

Hodge sneered in his heart, in the frozen land of the snowy region of the far north, not even a single pheasant could be found, and the civilians often endured hunger in the cold winter, and only the extremely stupid bandits would come to this place to plunder.

"Did you go to a village not long ago?"

Puran chuckled in his heart, his eyes were flustered, his mouth was tightly closed, and his face turned pale.

Seeing his appearance, Hodge quickly lost patience, not knowing the situation made him anxious, so he raced against time, he held the knife with a little force, and gently rotated the blade at the base of Pullen's thigh, and many nerve fibers were attached to the incision, which were quickly cut off under the knife, and the pain passed down the nerve into the cerebral pulp, Pool's eyes were red, and the pain made him almost scream, but Hodge covered his mouth in time.

"I said, if you want to live, don't make a sound, besides, don't play tricks with me, answer my questions honestly, understand?"

Puran nodded in dismay, and as soon as Hodge let go of his hand, he immediately told all the news he knew like a bean: "Yes, yes, we have been looking for a long time in the snow in the past few months, and we have only met such a village except for the town!"

"And then you slaughtered them just to complete your mission to suppress the bandits?"

"I ...... I can't help it! I'm just a small soldier, and it's our boss who makes the decisions. ”

Puran was robbed of control of his body by fear, his body kept trembling, snot and tears covered his face, he suddenly remembered something as if he was awake, and quickly said: "By the way, we found a witch in that village! It is a felony to harbor witches, so the boss asked us to kill those people." ”

"Witch?" Hodge's eyes were solemn, "You're talking about Hera?"

"I don't know what her name is, it's a little girl, the boss took her out, and announced in public that she was a witch, and then two women stood up and tried to hold the little girl, and they tore the corners of the chief's clothes, and the boss threw them to the ground, and then ordered us to kill the other villagers. ”

"That's all I know!Really!I don't want to!But that's the head's command!No way!I can't help it!You know, I'm not lying!" Puran's words grew rapid and incoherent.

Hodge looked at him quietly, the man was obviously broken, in this case even if he didn't use psychology to know that he couldn't lie, after thinking for a while, he asked, "Hera, where is the witch you call now?"

"In the chief's tent, the biggest one, and the chieftain and the witch are there!

"Thank you. Hodge said softly.

Pullan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a little happy for the rest of his life, but in the blink of an eye, he felt a spasm in his thigh, he lowered his head and looked at the wound on his thigh in horror, the knife that Ben had inserted there had been pulled out, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the severed veins, like a fountain to the land in front of him, Hodge didn't lie to him, it really shot several meters away.

Hodge was holding the blood-dripping knife in his right hand, and his left hand was tightly covering Puran's mouth, preventing him from screaming violently.

Puran had never experienced such a complicated experience, the sharp pain was accompanied by the loss of consciousness, he felt that something extremely important in his body was rapidly disappearing, and he could not stop this process, his strength was instantly drained, his heart rose and fell quickly, he tried all his strength to look back at Hodge's face, and questioned him with his eyes.

Why! You said you'd save me if I told the truth!

Hodge was expressionless, and it wasn't until after Puran fell into a coma that he let go of his hand and let Pooren's body fall to the ground, blood still rushing, and there was still some time before he actually died, but that was no longer Hodge's concern.

He crouched down and wiped the blood from the knife with the help of Puran's collar.

"I'm just saying maybe. ”

It's a pity that he never had a chance to hear this again.

Standing up, he looked at Daphne, "Hera, she's a witch?"

Devany shook her head: "No, witches can sense each other, just as I was able to know your awakening dozens of miles away, it is impossible for witches to hide their identities from each other, that little girl is just an ordinary person." ”

Slaughtering an entire village of people based on just one unwarranted conjecture?

Hodge's hand holding the knife suddenly erupted, and his eyes became colder.

"Do you need my help?" said Daphne, "these are probably ordinary cavalrymen, my flames can easily burn their bodies, and we can break in directly, and no one can stop us." ”

"And then alarm their leader and put Hera's life at risk?" Hodge shook his head, "No, that's not what I wanted. ”

"But what else can we do? You've seen their camping and patrolling teams, and there's no way we're going to sneak in. ”

"Since we can't get in, bring them out. Hodge took a deep breath, "I need a fire, right now, right here." ”

"I was born to work hard. Daphne sighed slightly, closed her palm, and slowly spread it out, several fluttering pillars of fire appeared on her palm, holding the flames, she was about to touch the bushes and ignite the jungle, but suddenly stopped.

"Huh?" she looked back in some surprise, looking in the direction of the tent.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel, it seems—" Daphne paused, "there's a new companion awakened?" ”

Hodge looked at the tent in the distance, and a possibility rose in his mind.

Could it be that these people really ...... by mistake?

The facts gave him the answer.

The poignant sound was like a sharp knife cutting through the sky in the blink of an eye, and it exploded in the ears of Hodge and Devany with a strong penetrating power, and they subconsciously covered their ears, and then saw an unforgettable scene.

From the center of the slightly larger tent, the frenzied storm swept across the land, and the protagonist of this storm was the thin blade condensed by countless sounds, becoming the curve that constructed the storm, chaotic and complicated, this sound blade storm spread out in an astonishing posture, and gradually stopped ten meters in front of the two of them.

Everything in the storm was torn apart, tents, pots, firewood, horses, and people.

The invisible blade is unmatched, it is the purest cut, it cannot be stopped, anything that comes into contact with it will be ruthlessly torn apart, even from a distance, Hodge and Daphne can still feel the rage of this storm.

The storm grew scarlet, stained with blood, and it still raged, showing no signs of stopping.

Hodge looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, now he didn't have to lure out the cavalry, he didn't have to sneak into the camp, everyone in this cavalry team in Codo Bay was wrapped in a storm, and ordinary people simply couldn't survive such a storm of sound blades.

Daphne looked into the center of the storm in the distance, and said in a slightly bitter voice:

"Now she is. ”
