Chapter 004: Escape
With a thud, the burly creature fell to the ground, and I cut off his head with the dagger I carried with me and put it in my backpack behind my back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Nord soldiers around me were looking at me in horror. Looks like this guy is pretty good. I smiled and beckoned to the Swadia soldiers behind me, and they came to their senses and rushed up to fight with a shout, pushing me to the back.
Looking at the dense crowd of human heads in front of me, I knew I couldn't squeeze in. I turned my head, and the man on the other side was dealing with one of our soldiers on a ladder. Pouring hot water, throwing stones, swords and kicks, all the fun. I was on fire as soon as I saw it, and I walked down the wall and crept up the stairs behind them from the other side. The group was having fun and didn't see me. I drew my dagger and slashed someone's throat and quickly blocked the blood spurting from their throat. The man's throat had been cut and he couldn't scream, so I slowly lowered him to the ground. He looked at me with horror before he died, and I looked at him with a smile and touched his eyes.
In a matter of minutes, I did the same, and killed them like wheat. When there was only one of them left, the archers on the watchtower in the distance saw me and shouted in a hurry. As soon as the man in front of me turned his head and saw the corpses all over the ground, he was terrified, I smiled, stabbed him to death, bleeding all over the ground, and touched his eyes.
"Hehe, thank you brother, your performance is so wonderful. "A crossbowman who managed to climb up shook my hand after shooting the archers on the watchtower to death.
"With a gesture, the enemy hasn't been killed yet, so let's go. I patted him on the shoulder.
"Yes! God be with you. ”
Our morning attack was repulsed, and the Count was discussing plans for the next day with the other lords and marshals. They looked at the parchment map for a long time, but they didn't discuss any results.
"Do you know who the Nord leader is defending the city?" I asked Bob.
"I don't know. He scratched his head, "It seems to be Diriganyar." ”
"I have a plan to cut off his head. ”
"yes, let's hear it. ”
I whispered a few times in Bob's ear, and Bob clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay, let's go, I'll call a few brothers." ”
After a while, Bob came to me with two faithful but confused brothers: "How about these two?" "Okay, I'll give you both a task. I whispered in their ears a few more times. The two men agreed, and quickly ran to the woods next to Fort Jerburg to hide.
I brought a light crossbow and 30 steel bolts, which I used well when I was a child. I fiddled with the light crossbow, which was lighter than mine, but more powerful than mine, and I wasn't used to it. After a while, Bob came over with two black trench coats and two short knives and a triangular hook rope.
After a while, the two of us put on our trench coats, evaded the guards guarding the gates, evaded the outposts, and evaded the patrols of Fort Derborg, and came to the city walls.
I took a deep breath and threw the rope up to the top of the city, and pulled it, feeling hooked, and it was still very strong, so I quietly rubbed against the head of the city with Bob.
I put the rope away and walked with Bob over the castle gates. Due to their light footsteps, the guards' attention was outside the castle, and we were able to kill them quietly. Those who stood together, I shot them at a distance with my crossbow, and when I had killed one of them, I threw a stone at the side to draw them over, and slashed them one by one when they turned their backs on us, eating them away.
"Okay boy, this assassination technique is good. Bob whispered, giving me a thumbs up.
"It's a prize, I used to hunt and practice. ”
In a few moments, we had come to the top of the castle gate, and not far from the castle gate was a wood, where the two brothers were hiding. There were two more people standing guard at the door, and two guards above them. This is exactly what I wanted! I snickered, crept up behind them, and pushed them off the city.
"Ahhhhh
"Tom" these two poor fellows fell to pieces
"What sound?"
"Corpses, what's going on, go, go see. ”
The two fools standing guard walked towards the two corpses. At this point, two of Bob's brothers rushed up, stabbed them to death, and dragged the four bodies into the woods.
"Success!" I lowered the rope and slid down the city with Bob. We changed into the attire of Nord soldiers and asked to enter the city. Our request was granted, and the wooden door slowly opened. I pressed my beating heart and entered the huge Castle of Jerburg.
"Whew... It's exciting. Bob sighed.
"Don't be silent! we'll find out. I hurriedly reminded Bob.
"Okay. Bob looked at the two brothers next to him, who were trembling.
We walked to the front of the Lord's Hall, where the guards guarding the door were keeping an eye on us.
"No, then we don't want to go in. Bob shook his head.
"No, there should be a way. "I looked around and saw a window at the top of the lord's hall. I had an idea and told Bob and his brother to go and talk to the guard.
While Bob and the gatekeepers were arguing, I quietly threw the hook on it. The rope fell off. I took a deep breath and threw the hook up, tugged and hooked! I crept up again and walked up the beams of the lord's hall. As Dirigonal was resting in his bedroom, I took out my hidden crossbow and shot the two guards, who screamed, but the door was closed so tightly that Dirigonal didn't hear it. I found a place to come down and knocked on the bedroom door with trepidation.
"Come in. Diri Gonyar said.
I went inside, closed the door, and said to him, "My lord, a pack of Swadia dogs are barking outside. ”
"Yes, I'm going to tell them that we can hold this city until we die of old age!" he got up from his bed, dressed and ready to walk out of the room.
"Poof"
I cut off his head, put it with the crossbow, disguised it as a kettle, wiped the blood off the ground, and put the headless Diriganyar back on the bed, covering his whole body with a quilt.
Walking out of the room, I lifted the two guards up, leaned against the wall, pulled out the crossbow arrows, wiped the blood, and opened their eyes. After the disguise was done, I climbed out again. After a while, Bob and I fled the place.
...... I went into the Count's tent and gave him Dirigand's head
"You killed that mongrel Dirigand?"
"Yes, assassination. I nodded.
"But I have to be sure, if they retreat in the near future, it will be a great achievement!" said the Earl, excitedly.
"Yes, sir. ”
......
The defenders of Fort Gerburg soon retreated, and Bob and I were promoted to captain of the cavalry detachment and captain of the infantry detachment respectively for our meritorious work in the siege. Haraus said that the Count's mission was accomplished, and asked him to go back. The earl had no choice but to go back in a huff, and the whole army was very disappointed: before going on the expedition, he thought that he would get good things, money, and beautiful women...... But it is still a bamboo basket for water. Only Bob and I were happy, excitedly awaiting the day of returning home.
Ladies and gentlemen, the King's target this time is Rudaburg, and you have been asked to clear the enemy forces around Rudabao, understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Alright, then let's go. ”
Exiting the Earl's tent, Bob and I immediately prepared to go to Fort Ruda, and realizing that this was a perfect opportunity to escape, I ordered Thomson and his elite to follow me at all times.
......
As we crossed the flat, cold eastern snowfields, we began to enter Nord territory, stopping at the village of McCann and promising the simple Nords that we would not harm them. One day, we are about to arrive at Rudaburg.
"What's your plan?" asked me.
"Run. "I'm succinct.
"Refreshing. Bob smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
Go back to sleep, you're about to reach Fort Ruda, and get ready for the next day's escape. ”
"Hmm. Bob stepped back.
My feelings were extremely complicated at the time: running away is easy to say, but what should I do? What should I do with Erin? What should I do after I escape? I held my head in contemplation, and before I knew it, it was past midnight.
"Stompping..."There was a sound of footsteps, and I snorted, and immediately grabbed a sword. At the same time, a man in black barged in.
"Who are you?" I yelled.
"Hey, it's me. The man in black in front of him took off his hat.
"Buck?" turned out to be Snow Leopard Buck.
"Ha, long time no see, man, why are you so scared to see who I brought here?" Buck laughed, and a woman came out from behind.
"Irene?" I was pleasantly surprised, and Erin threw herself into my arms, sobbing, "I thought you died while fighting... Whining... Don't want me anymore..."
I'm speechless, this little girl loves to cry too much, right?
"Well, it's a long story. I whispered the ins and outs of what had happened to Snow Leopard, and he looked stunned, while Erin, who was next to her, looked at us with red eyes and confusion.
Is it... Well, my men are working with a team of Kugit ringing horses, and maybe they can help you. Buck said to me.
"Well, that's all there is to it. I shook my head.
"What are you going to do again?" Irene asked me as she walked up to me.
"Nothing, go, let's go with Buck. I nudged her, and Erin reluctantly walked out with Buck.
......
"Let's go!" we left the village of McCann, and before leaving, I gave 200 dinars to the village elder, which was enough for two weeks' salaries for my troops. The elder immediately asked the villagers to buy cattle and sheep and give us some smoked fish and air-dried meat.
After walking for a while, I felt a little abnormal and told the troops to stop.
"What's wrong?" Bob walked up and asked me.
"It's not right, there should have been troops coming up to intercept it a long time ago, it's not right. "I looked around, hoping to see any clues, but there were vast plains around me, and I couldn't see anything. Although I said I wanted to run away, I didn't want to harm these innocent people.
"I called two scouts and told them to look ahead.
......
After 20 minutes, the two scouts still hadn't appeared, and I got impatient and ordered my troops to advance.
"Isn't that good?" said Bob.
"Leave him alone, I'm going to run away anyway, and there's just an excuse. ”
"You—" I interrupted him with a wave of my hand, but I would soon realize my mistake. The nearby swamp staggered us and it took us two hours to reach five thousand meters from Rudabao, and the soldiers were exhausted. After I gave the order to rest in place, I suddenly tensed my nerves with a strange movement, "What's going on?" I reined in my horse's head, feeling something was not right around me.
"What's wrong, don't you?" Thomson wondered.
"No... I always felt that something was not quite right here. I shook my head and stared at the four small black dots not far ahead. What was that? I ordered my troops to stay where they were, and my curiosity prompted me to ride to the two black spots.
The black dot grew larger and larger, turning into two men lying on the ground and two dead horses. I was even more strange, and I took a few more steps, and suddenly I found that they all had javelin axes stuck in their backs, and their outfits were none other than our people!
"Array!!" Before I could react, there was a loud roar in the woods not far away, and countless Nord soldiers in armor came out of the grass and woods, screaming and rushing towards us!!
I hurried back, and a few javelin axes were thrown past me, scaring me into a cold sweat. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain, and an axe had cut through my chain mail, and the wound was bleeding.
Gritting his teeth and returning to the formation, everyone had just sat down, and I was so shocked to see my appearance that I hurriedly ordered everyone to get on their horses and get their weapons ready for battle. As we lined up, the Nords were approaching us, their powerful arms throwing axes and javelins, and those who were hit were either killed or wounded, and all of them were missing parts. The undead were lying on the ground groaning.
"Damn... It's all my carelessness... But there is no what if, and an oncoming axe interrupted my thoughts. I hurriedly crouched down, and the axe struck the head of a poor soldier in the back. This man's brain is flying and there is no help.
"The cavalry has been assembled, please order!" Thomson couldn't wait, clenched his sword in both hands and gritted his teeth, eager to rush into the enemy bush and kill him.
"Charge!!" I picked up my spear and charged at the swaggering Nord soldiers.
The cavalry in my rear immediately followed, roaring and kicking the belly of the horses and galloping towards the Nord army. But I forgot that the swamps and mud around here were very bad for heavy cavalry combat, but I forgot. Years later, I remembered that they were not wearing iron armor and that they were still stepping on wooden planks. At that time, I just watched the other party rush so vigorously and hurriedly ordered an attack, which caused a catastrophe.
We quickly approached the Nord army in front of us, and just as we were about to collide, the Nords stopped 30 meters away, and just as I was wondering, the cavalry near me could not wait to overtake me, and something unexpected happened.
In the distance, the crotch of a cavalryman suddenly screamed, and his body sank, and his front feet still struggled and fluttered, but he sank faster. Immediately, the people watched this scene anxiously, and kicked the horse's belly violently, but to no avail.
I understood for a moment what the cunning Nords were trying to do: "Retreat!!" I shouted at the top of my voice, but the horses of the nearby cavalry could not stop, and rushed into the well-laid trap of the Nords, while the Nords took advantage of the fishermen, drew their weapons and stabbed at these poor, defenseless targets. I lamented, still powerless, Rudabao would be an insurmountable barrier for us.
Our troops were scattered, and those who had lost their armor ran to the rear. "Hurry up! good opportunity!" said Bob to me, and I glanced helplessly behind me, and Bob Thomson fled. The moonlight shone brightly, through the leaves, and shattered on the ground, which looked very beautiful. Under the evening breeze, the leaves collide with the wind and make a loud noise. I hummed and sat under a towering tree, and Erin brought me medicine to treat my wounds
"What's the matter, what's going on?" asked Erin, distressedly dressing my wound and bandaging.
"It's nothing, let's go, get on the horse!" I helped Erin onto the horse, turned on the horse, and ran towards Kulau with Buck, who had been waiting for a long time.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Erin, holding my waist around my waist.
"Alas... I'll tell you later, so don't worry!"
"Okay," Erin fell asleep on my back in the jolt.
Seeing that Erin was asleep, Buck asked, "What's next?" ”
"Let's go to McCann first, I have a good relationship with the people there, and they should let us stay. ”
"Well, I'll just listen to you. ”
