015: Roadblocker

The territory of Nord, with its crisscrossed rivers, overgrown trees, and covered by large swamps, has on several occasions blocked the conquest of the Swadian army, and it is not for nothing that some people privately call Nord the "graveyard of the kingdom". The natural geographical advantage of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info also has the side effect of being followed - a large number of lawbreakers are intertwined here, which is difficult to clear, which seriously affects the security of the Nord region.

"Get out of the way, or we'll get on the road." At this time, Eve encountered a group of ragged roadblockers. She stood in front of the carriage and spoke to the outlaws who stood in their way. But it caused a burst of laughter.

"Hahahaha! Didn't I hear me right? Just now, this girl was threatening me?" said the man who appeared to be the leader of them to the robber behind him. "What to do, brothers, I think we're giving way to this lady because we're reasonable!" he exaggeratedly bent down and made a gesture of invitation, causing a burst of laughter behind him. Seeing this, Eve said directly to Arthur: "Shoot him in the face, don't shoot it off again." ”

"I won't miss!" the words poked Arthur's sore spot, and he opened his bow and shot an arrow, so fast that it was impossible to see the movement. The robbers looked around, not knowing who had been shot, and they checked their bodies again to make sure they had not been shot.

For a moment, the scene seemed a little awkward, Arthur held his bow, trying his best to make himself look calm, he wanted to shoot another arrow, but after a struggle of thoughts, he gave up the idea. It wasn't until someone noticed that Arthur's arrow was poking at the distant ground that a louder laugh erupted again. "Enough, this farce should be over, my little marksman, why don't you stay at home and play, what are you doing so far away? The man at the head put away his smile and replaced it with a murderous face that only those who had seen blood would have. If Eve and Arthur were really just two unworldly nobles, they might really be scared by him, but unfortunately, not only will they not be scared, but they are also very warlike.

"Oh, I was just about to say, leave all your valuables on you, and I promise you will get out of here safely. Eve weighed her sword a few times, looking very relaxed. Arthur silently drew another arrow, it was a handmade wooden arrow that was quite well-made, because the iron arrows he had brought before had been used up, and there was no place to supply along the way, so Arthur relied on the skills he had learned from his father, and made a bundle of arrows from twigs and pheasants, and dinner.

"I've given you a chance, miss. Seeing that he had failed to scare the two young men, the leader was a little embarrassed, and his face immediately sank. "Brothers, kiss me, leave me alive!" the robbers rushed up with a strange scream.

"Don't be in a hurry, gentlemen, you are already surrounded. At this time, a voice came from behind the leader, and before the leader could react, a long sword with a unique pattern pierced his throat. Before he died, he didn't figure it out, why did he still have enemies behind him?

This scene made the robbers stunned, their boss was gone, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Eve and Arthur took the opportunity to kill them, stabbing several robbers one after another.

"Ah!" There were a few more screams from the side, and I saw a man in a black robe with a strong body shuttling through the crowd, and at every turn, a robber fell in response.

There was almost no effective resistance, and the few robbers who were still alive in the end were surprised to find that only a few of the twenty or so brothers had died.

"Please forgive me, dear lady, we are all forced, we don't want to get in the way. The one who reacted quickly already knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy, and the remaining few saw this and reacted, and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy in a miscellaneous manner.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to gather all the valuable things on them, and whoever moves the fastest will be able to live. Eve shook off the blood stains on the sword, and said lightly, and when those people heard this, they immediately moved, and used the fastest speed in their lives to turn over their dead brothers, money bags and equipment.

"How many more robbers do you have to encounter?" said Eve, leaning on the carriage, overseeing the robbers' movements. "We've only met five times in two days, so we've been lucky. Orlando said, as if he was really happy. "Isn't there a rule between them? so close, and not a group of people. Arthur asked, feeling that it simply didn't make sense. "Well, I guess they'll have to fight first, and then the one who wins will have the right to occupy this road. Orlando said heartlessly. "Or, they're wandering, meeting whomever they're robbing whom. ”

"Judging by their undisguised ambush, I prefer to believe the latter. Arthur said that he had spotted the robbers from far away, and that they had not hidden their tracks. It didn't challenge Arthur at all.

"Hey guys, there's a little guy here trying to run away. Pete picked up a man and threw him to the ground. "What to do with this guy?" asked Pete, holding his sword around his neck and turning to Eve.

Eve walked over and lifted the man's face, and found that he was unexpectedly young, probably younger than herself, and had not yet recovered from the bloody scene just now, and was just a frightened child. "You are my captive, but you want to escape, it stands to reason that I should put you to death. Eve wanted to scare him, so she said deliberately. As soon as he heard the word death, the young man's body trembled even more. "However, I am not a cruel person, and if anyone is willing to die for you, I am willing to forgive your sins. Eve deliberately delayed for a moment before continuing.

When the boy heard this, as if grasping at the last straw, he looked at the people who were secretly looking here, and they all lowered their heads and stopped looking.

"If so, dear lady, I will die for him. Just when the boy was almost in despair, a familiar voice sounded, it was the man who had taken the lead in begging for mercy. "I only wish your sword was sharp enough to make me suffer less. He didn't hide his fear, but he held himself up and made himself look tough.

"Why is he doing this?" asked Eve, what could make a man do something against his will?"I don't know him, my dear lady, and until yesterday he was our captive. But he saved me from the arms of the great god Maphilia with a strange bowl of mushroom soup. He explained. "I owe him my life, and if I can't pay it back, then I will have no shame to continue living. He said helplessly, but resolutely. "I'm a Nord, ma'am, and I have to. ”

...... Eve looked at the man wordlessly, trying to find a hint of falsehood in his face, but only found unmistakable firmness. "I don't know you guys......" Eve whispered, and went back to the carriage. Pete and Arthur looked at each other, picked up all the money bags on the ground, and got into the carriage together. Orlando had been waiting for a long time, and he rode his horse forward, and in less than half a day's journey they were to reach Oak Village.

When the robber saw that they were gone, he reacted that his life had been saved, and he quickly picked up the young man, and then divided the rest of the loot with the rest of the men, and ran in the opposite direction.

Not surprisingly, in a week they would be out of McCann and into Tihrog, where the 'Cathedral' of Hart City was located.

"Your skills are impressive, Pete, and Sir Delamore must be a master of swordsmanship, but I have not heard of him. Eve said that at least half of the people were knocked down by Pete just now, compared to Eve, who is not very experienced in actual combat, Arthur, who thinks he is a master of archery, and Orlando, who is not good at fighting, Pete's strength is far superior to them.

"He is not a high-profile man, Miss Eve, and few people know about him. Pete said with some perfunctory remarks, he was clearly not like Sir Dotidramo. "With all due respect, Miss Eve, your sword stabbing skills are superb, but you are too conformist, and if you encounter a warrior with a little experience, I am afraid you will suffer. He digressed from the conversation to discuss Doeve's performance.

"You're right, I found this problem too. Eve nodded, she also understood this truth, but at present, she can only rely on actual combat to slowly improve.

"And Arthur, I think you'll be better off with an iron rod than with this bow. Pete smiled, and he had said as tactfully as he could. "I'm sorry, I'm a descendant of Achar, and I'm not going to give up my bow. Arthur replied resolutely, without compromise. "Well, whatever you want, but your legs make it good, I've rarely seen anyone fight like this, and it looks like a Southerner. Pete shrugged, stopped discussing Arthur's weapon, and instead asked about his skills. "We have a Nanren doctor, and he handed me some for self-defense. Arthur said casually, Eve knew this, so there was no need to explain too much.

"What about me, sword master, what do you think of me?" Orlando, who was driving, interjected, he was quite confident in his swordsmanship, and he always had some ability to travel the continent alone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you make a move. Pete said, extinguishing Orlando's enthusiasm in one fell swoop, and the latter turned his head sullenly and gave vent to his frustration.

"Why haven't you seen any other carriages along the way?, this car is so eye-catching, what should you do if you encounter a larger group of robbers?" said Arthur, somewhat worried, as he had been impressed by Nord's outlaws for the past two days.

"It's almost time to reach the village here, and there will be the lord's guards patrolling nearby, so it shouldn't be robbed again. Orlando said. "It would be nice if Nord had a sheriff too. Eve said bitterly, for the first time she experienced what "poor security" was, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic for Svadia who had a sheriff to maintain law and order, which was much more efficient than the lord's guards.

"Use the sheriff to run the Nord, I'm afraid his skull will be used as a bowl the next day. Pete said he had been in Nord for a while and was impressed by the people.

"It's going to be night soon, let's rest for a while, and we'll be in Oak Village in a few hours." Orlando reminded, then picked up his pace and hurried to Oak Village at full speed. "If it goes well, we'll finally be able to sleep in our beds tonight. ”
