Chapter 68: Engagement
The night wind howled, and Frimlin carried a short spear, followed by several workers who were already armed.
"Follow me. ”
He stooped from camp to camp, one hand on his forehead, half of his bald skull covered with an increasing number of arrows. Fortunately, at the first time of the attack, the Frimlin used hot soup to extinguish most of the firewood, at this moment, the enemy in the dark did not have the help of campfire, the dark world once again narrowed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, although there were screams from time to time resounded in the night sky, startling a sleeping bird, but the accuracy of the bow and arrow has never been won by quality, although the first wave of arrow rain came suddenly, but the real casualties were only small, and what shook people's hearts was more from the fear of the unknown.
They don't know who attacked them.
I don't know the geometry of the enemy. The arrows in the sky shuttled through the dim moonlight, and no one could say exactly how much they had passed, only by feeling, but the feeling in the panic was inevitably wrong, and the occasional half-loud screams and cries added a bit of horror.
"The robbers have rushed out!"
Some people have seen the sword light shining in the forest, the cold light is shining, almost reminiscent of the judgment from hell.
"Let's run!"
Someone shouted again, and they crawled around with their hands and feet. They were so dizzy that they couldn't tell which side was west and which side was north, and they often only took two steps before they saw an arrow feather stuck in front of them or behind them, and then they were even more frightened, as if there were enemies on all sides, and some people even shouted out without thinking: "We are surrounded!"
"Idiot. ”
After Remlin crawled and hid in the only carriage in the camp that could be called a barrier, he reached out and pulled his men behind him, pointed to the mage who was still standing by the fire, and said in a hurry, "Bring him over and keep him in check." ”
Then he tore his throat and shouted at Alexei in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up, Lord Crassus, you go quickly!"
The two are actually not far away, only a dozen meters away. Fremlin's men quickly crouched down and ran to Alexey's side, and the man was about to grab the mage's forearm, but somehow, he grabbed a cloud of air, and he was stunned for a moment, and then heard a whisper in his ear: "Let's go." ”
Then he didn't know what was going on, and he walked forward obediently as if he had been under a spell, until he returned to Frimrin with the mage, who was still in a fog.
"Where's Arya?" the mage asked Remlin, turning to Remlin.
"Still in the carriage. The captain glanced around, counted a few numbers in his mouth, and muttered to himself, "Enough, enough." ”
As soon as he moved his arm, he nodded his head and ordered, "You guys follow me." There aren't many of these bandits, otherwise they would have rushed out long ago, and our people are now like headless flies, even if they are only half of us......"
There was no end to Frimlin's words. The captain of the Chamber of Commerce, who was not flustered before the battle, quickly infected the crowd with his composure, quieting them down in a restless manner: "You, you, you, touch from the left; The rest of the people I had called followed me to the front. ”
"Aren't we going to be shot?"
Someone in the crowd asked.
"I'm afraid of eggs. You touch your crotch, do you have that thing?!"
"Rush me, don't be afraid. ”
Frimlin spat out, tore off a piece of linen cloth and wrapped it in his palm, and whispered to everyone: "I have calculated the distance between us and the forest, the group of robbers who have no courage to charge is not many, we will fight first, and when the time comes, you will go and stab the big ** on their left and right!"
"There's only one cute person?"
Someone asked again.
"Then you're going to smash their eggs!,, why are you talking so much, just give it to me. ”
After scolding with a blushing face and thick neck, and announcing to everyone that Fremlin, who had finished beating each with a bowl of meat, hurriedly selected the two vice-captains, and after briefly repeating the tactics with the two, he turned back to the remaining two subordinates who were not targeted, and ordered: "Remember to protect the safety of Your Excellency Crassus for me, remember, you don't run around, we have a sword without an eye, and it will not be good to hurt the guests." ”
After speaking, he didn't talk to Alexey, but after taking a deep look at the mage, he leaned over to listen to the movements around him, and with a wave of his hand, he led people to rush out first.
Their speed was fast, and under the scans of Alexey's spiritual tentacles, the force led by Frimrin was soon able to meet the bandits at the edge of the woods.
And now, it's your own performance time.
"Your Excellency. ”
He was about to make a move when the two workers who had been instructing him to pay attention to him immediately became aware of it. Under their seemingly polite language, the hands and feet of the two were not ambiguous - they quickly approached, holding spears in pairs, one left and one right, trying to sandwich Alexei in the middle and control it.
"Your Excellency!"
The atmosphere was already tense at this moment, and when they saw that Alex still had no intention of stopping, a look of surprise and anger suddenly appeared on their faces, and while their mouths were accentuated, the two of them glanced at each other, and swung the tip of their spears at the mage's toes.
This is no joke.
Outsiders encountered robbers as soon as they came, and if there was no connection between the two, it would be difficult for the Galloping Horse Chamber of Commerce to control their thinking not to deviate in that direction.
If Alexei had been waiting until the end of the battle, not to mention whether he was a spy of the robbers, according to the importance given by Frimlin on his face, the members of the two caravans would not dare to do anything to Alexei, but the premise was that Alexei obediently cooperated with them.
Once this premise is broken, the members of the caravan are not afraid to use their spears to cut off one or two of the mage's toes.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Alexei, who was bare-handed, did not resist the force of the two members.
But alas, it just so happened that Alex could flip the chessboard at any time if he wanted to, and the outcome of the seemingly anxious chess game depended only on his personal willingness.
However, the mage, who hadn't met Lay's all day, still wanted to have fun.
He didn't say anything to the two miscellaneous fish that were no threat to him, and he brushed his hand into the eyes of the two of them, and he heard two sounds of falling down beside him. The mage quietly walked past the sleeping dead pig at his feet, turned to the main entrance of the carriage, stretched out his hand, and pulled the door barricade of the carriage.
At this moment, Alexei had a dark light flashing in front of his eyes. Immediately, he saw a circle of familiar ripples spread out from his shield, and the next second, there was a cry of pain in his ears, and the sound of iron falling to the ground. The fire candle in the carriage had already been extinguished, and when the naked eye adjusted to the darkness in the carriage, Alexei fixed his eyes, and sure enough, Lan Meng was curled up in a corner of the car, and at his hand, there was a dagger with an unusually sharp edge that fell on the blanket of the foot, and the gold handle was unsheathed and shining.
