Chapter 040: (Dangerous Arrow)

"Hey, my brother," Momo Cha said as she stepped forward, accosting the new young mercenary. "Did you sleep well last night?"

When the mercenaries around him heard the lewd voice of the horse thief, they all distanced themselves from him with interest, and glanced sympathetically at the young Rhodok who had just joined the team. But Merck, who was too pretentious, did not notice the gaze of her companions around her.

"Yes," Merck asked politely, with a slight nod. "What about you?"

Mo Mo Cha immediately showed a bitter face, and said listlessly: "For the safety of everyone, I haven't slept all night!"

It is true that the horse thief did not sleep all night last night, but not because of the vigil. In the middle of the night, he secretly ran to the tavern to hook up with the escort who lived inside, and spent the night in the room of the tavern. To this end, he also emptied the few gold coins he had in his pocket.

"Brother, what I discussed with you last night," Mo Mo Cha said tentatively. "Look ......"

"What's the matter?"

After seeing that the other party was pretending to be confused, Momo Tea directly made it clear to the other party. "Borrowing money!"

"Oh!" Merck hesitated for a moment, then responded. "The mercenary who was with you said I wouldn't lend you money, and he said—"

Mo Mocha's brows suddenly tightened, and before the other party finished speaking, he asked a little angrily, "What else did he say?"

"—let me give you some dried salted fish to satisfy your cravings!" Merck continued.

"Dried salted fish?" "Damn it, Alleyne, it's a good thing to spoil me. Mo Mo Cha cursed in his heart. "No, no, brother," he said, shaking his head with a sad face. "I don't like salted dried fish, I just need gold. ”

"Can you tell me what you need gold for you?"

What else can be done is nothing more than to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. But Mo Mo Cha Zhilu couldn't tell the truth to the other party, and had to make up a lie to fool this young man. After thinking for a moment, he lied, "I fell in love with a girl and wanted to buy her a gift." ”

Borrowing money from friends and loved ones is often a matter of no choice. How to increase the success rate of borrowing money is a very skillful thing, and horse thieves have perfected this skill to the point of perfection.

In the entire team of the Lancer Mercenary Regiment, except for the unwieldy 'Iron Rooster' Resarit and the always silent 'Cold-blooded Killer' Cress, all the mercenaries are his creditors, covering those dead companions.

Momocha would often brag to Ellen about his experience in borrowing money when chatting. He summed up a few points: first, be thick-skinned, second, have sufficient reasons, and then think about what to borrow and how much to borrow before borrowing money, and finally, agree on a date for repayment.

The last piece of tea has never been cashed in, which is why everyone doesn't like him. The gold of his companions was bought with his life, in other words, Momo Tea borrowed their lives, but he did not intend to return them to them.

"Can you tell me who it is?" asked Merck curiously. "Is that the pretty girl from last night?"

"Young man, if I tell you, can you keep it a secret for me?" "Yes, her name is Jamila!"

When Jamila first joined the team, Momo Tea had this idea for the beautiful Jamila. But after a period of getting along, he gave up completely. The girl thinks of a man as a handsome knight, not a lewd-looking horse thief.

Suddenly, a cold chill passed by his face, and the sound of "Zheng" was nailed to the trunk of the tree on the side, which turned out to be an arrow, and the tail of the arrow was shaking non-stop, which showed that the power of this arrow was extremely great.

Momo Tea and Merck were stunned for a long time, and a few arrow shadows were in front of them, whistling. Momo Tea only feels like he can't hide from it, and he is going to die in this damn place for no reason today.

Mo Mocha felt that time passed very slowly, forcing himself to think wildly, but he couldn't move his steps and couldn't dodge this fatal arrow...... Suddenly, a figure flashed out, and threw him from his horse to the ground, dodging the deadly arrow.

Merck and Momo Tea rolled around on the ground a few times, and then got up from the ground in a mess. Seeing the movement ahead, the whole team stopped and warned the wind and grass in the woods. After a while, the mercenaries such as Victor, Resarit, and Ellen rode after them.

"You're all right," Victor asked, turning over and dismounting. "What just happened?" followed by Resarit and Alleyne as they turned over and dismounted, and walked to the side of Momocha and Merck.

"A few arrows shot out of the woods. Merck responded, then patted the dirt off her body.

And Mo Mocha, who was still a little frightened, boldly guessed: "Commander, could it be that the bandits heard some wind last night and ambushed us in the woods overnight?"

"No way, if it were bandits, they wouldn't be stupid enough to expose their tracks for the sake of the two mercenaries for the sake of the shooter. Merck objected and voiced her opinion. "The arrows didn't look like they were coming at us, but they were passing right in front of us. ”

Victor looked at the strange young man in front of him and asked. "How come I've never seen you, mercenary, give your name!"

"Old man," Alleyne said as he spoke. "His name is Merck, and he's a mercenary we recruited in the tavern last night. ”

Victor agreed, "The young man has a point, if there were bandits hiding in the woods in ambush, they would not have shot only a few arrows at us. Then he commanded. "Mo-tea, Aren, you two go and check in the woods. ”

"Why me again?" Momo Tea stretched his shoehorn face and muttered quietly with his head down.

"Commander, can I come along?" said the young Rhodok mercenary, confidently. "I'm familiar with the woods in this area, and I can tell where the arrows came from. ”

When Mo Mo Cha heard this, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly suggested to his regiment commander. "Let him go with us, and if there are many people, we will have a good care!" The horse thief was eager for the whole party to go with him, so that he would not be in danger.

"Alright, you come along!" Victor admonished Aren. "Keep an eye on our new companions and signal if there's danger!"

"Don't worry, old man!" Alleyne assured him.

Ellene, Momocha, and Merck entered the woods to inquire about the situation, while the rest of the mercenaries waited outside the woods. The Rhodok soldiers who were in charge of 'guarding' them were also aware of the unusual situation in the woods, but they did nothing.

Led by Merck, Alleyne and Momo Tea walked cautiously towards the depths of the woods. Soon after, they heard a noise in the woods in front of them, and the three of them quietly leaned over with light steps.

The three of them hid in a patch of grass, and found a woman leaning against a big tree in front of her, although her clothes were tattered and her hair was scattered, but she could not hide her graceful appearance, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her nose was erect. Loose hair is black and flowing.

But now she was shivering, her back to the tree, a knife in both hands, staring nervously ahead. The three people who were hiding looked at the woman's gaze and found that there were seven or eight people in a semicircle to protect two people, who seemed to be professional warriors.

Behind the crowd, a young man was starry-eyed, tall, and dressed in a silk dress. It is indeed Yushu Linfeng and a talent, but a trace of lewd eyes flashed in the corners of his eyes from time to time, which makes people feel that this person is misbehaved, presumably this is the legendary gentleman.

There was a man with short hair and beard standing next to him, his eyes were cold, and he stood with his hands in his hands. In front of them, all of them were strong, wearing red soft armor and wielding fan-shaped shields and short swords, and these warriors were half-kneeling on the ground and forming a defensive formation.

Alleyne and Merck also saw that there were half of the corpses next to the warriors, and it turned out that they had been shot to death with arrows. Most of them were killed with one arrow.

"Huh?" Mo Mocha looked at the sergeant in surprise, obviously seeing something. "This is the regular sergeant of Rhodok, what is the origin of the man who is being guarded by the soldiers?"

"What can it be, it's obvious that these people are bullying the people's girls, so many big men are surrounding a weak woman and still like a big enemy, it's really a group of bears, see me go out to solve their ......" said Merck was about to get up and rush over.

"It's not clear, wait for now. Alleyne reached out and grabbed the impulsive young man.

At the moment when Alleyne and Merck were talking, there was a "whoosh" from somewhere, and another arrow was fired, and a sergeant who was guarding arrived in response, without even shouting a sound, and collapsed with an arrow in the head.

Seeing another companion who was still alive just now quietly turned into a corpse in a blink of an eye, even if he was surrounded by soldiers who fought with real knives and guns on the battlefield, he didn't dare to come out of the nervous atmosphere at this moment, for fear that he would be the next one to fall.

The eyes of the Rhodok warriors searched the forest ahead, and they wanted to know where the evil star was hiding in front of them. While Alleyne and Merck observe the Rhodok warriors, they search for the man who shot the arrow hidden nearby.

The man in the fancy dress who was protected by everyone was also trembling at this time, for fear that the next arrow would fall on him, and he was terribly scared, but he had to hide behind the sergeant with a bad face. And seeing that the beautiful woman in front of him was about to fall into his hands, and the thin skin and tender meat just returned to the castle to enjoy it, he was really unwilling to retreat like this.

The short-haired man next to him saw everything about the boy in the fancy clothes, and subconsciously showed disdain, and then said: "Lord Lafaud, don't worry, Desai Wei is powerful with a bow and arrow, and he has been dealing with us for so long, presumably there are not many arrows left, my lord can rest assured, his subordinates are willing to resist for his or her life, and he must protect the adult." ”

"Enge, you are just a life, even if you resist with your life, how many times can you protect me?" Lafad said this, but his body was already standing behind Enge, looking around vigilantly.

In Enge's heart, he despised the young master Lafad behind him. Count Caesto is a prince, even if he coughs casually, the entire Duchy of Rhodok will be shocked a few times, but his son is such a bad race, it is really unbelievable.

Enge shouted loudly in front of him: "Desaivi, most of our group of more than 20 people were shot and killed by you, you are also a character, do you dare to come out and fight with me?"

Lafad followed the gang and said: "You are a robber of the forest, where is Enge's opponent, it is better to come out and surrender as soon as possible, don't protect this village girl anymore, I promise you that I will not pursue your previous crimes......" The voice fell, and another arrow came and went straight to Lafad's throat.

The arrows came in a flash. Enge shouted: "It's a good time!" raised his hand to catch the arrow shot from the opposite side, who knew that the road was not good as soon as he came into contact, and the power of this arrow was amazing.

Enge almost got out of his hand, and was taken back several steps by the strength of the arrow, and when he stood firm, he found that Kankan had grabbed the tail of the arrow, and almost got out of his hand and flew away. Lafad behind him was completely frightened, and he couldn't say a word of fright.

Enge was angry in his heart, and secretly went on like this, and didn't mention it, if Lafad, a gentleman, had a good one, and he had a few heads that were not enough to accompany the funeral, he had a killing intent in his heart, looked at the weak woman under the tree, and couldn't help it, and threw a dagger in his hand.
