――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As night fell, under the leadership of Rogge, the bandit squad quietly touched the edge of the water pirate camp.

Everyone dismounted, crouched down at the foot of a low knoll, lowered their heads, and stared nervously ahead.

It was indeed a large army of people, with stars in front of them, and against the backdrop of night, the bonfires lit by the other side were unusually clear, and they had lit about twenty-five bonfires, and were preparing to bury the pot and make rice.

Alleyne noticed that there were also rows of mobile sentinels on the periphery of the camp, and it seemed that the gang of water thieves was quite vigilant.

A scout next to Rogge said softly: "There must be something wrong with Count Arassis's spies, there are more than fifty people, and the number of troops is at least more than a hundred!"

The freelancers' faces became a little serious, but there was still no hint of retreat. Perhaps it was the dignity and honor of the knight that restrained him and did not allow him to return to Zenda like this.

A man with a beard on his face in the team was a little surprised: "So many, Lord Rogge, how are we going to fight them?"

Rogge made a gesture to stop the other man from taking the next word. He took the lead and slowly retreated, until he couldn't see the water thief.

Then, he gestured to the two men to wipe their necks, and the two men nodded and quietly walked forward.

Seeing that the freelancers turned to the other four people, Ellen lowered his voice and said, "You four, go around to the back, attack when you hear the whistle, and kill one when you see one!"

One of the four patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss, it's on us!"

Rogge turned his gaze to the rest of the people and ordered, "The rest of the men get on their horses and prepare for battle!"

It was only in the midst of it that Alleyne realized that this was not a game.

At one point, all he encountered were robbers, and there was not that disparity in strength at the time. And now, the freelancers actually want to exterminate more than 100 water thieves with 20 people!

Kradus wiped the spear in his hand excitedly, this guy had never been on a real battlefield, and was waiting for the whistle with anticipation on his face.

Suddenly, a high and low whistle sounded throughout the water thief camp.

Rogge clamped the belly of the horse under his crotch, raised the sword in his hand, and roared like thunder: "Charge!"

"Rush!" shouted as a group of people raised their arms and broke into the pirate camp as if they were in no man's land.

Alleyn suddenly tugged at the bridle, slowed the horse's pace, grabbed Karadus, and pointed to a black shadow on a hillside. "Something is wrong, what do you think it is?"

Kratos glanced at it, and his face turned pale. "Aren't these the two people sent by Rog to kill the sentinels!"

Could it be that the two of them were killed by the water thieves? Wasn't that whistle just now a trap? Alleyne didn't dare to think about it, and his intuition told him that there was an ambush ahead!

There's no time to inform Rogge now, they've probably fallen into a trap, should we run or save them?

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Alleyn gestured to Karadus to follow me, and crept around to the flank of the camp.

Rogge, who was rushing ahead, slowly stopped, and in the face of the empty camp, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart: "It's not good, all retreat!"

It's a pity that it was too late, and dozens of water thieves suddenly poured out of the camp, holding flying knives and stones in their hands, and smashed them towards Rogge and the others without a head.

In the blink of an eye, the heads of two more people were opened, and the gray brains were splashed everywhere.

The mercenaries who followed on the side were all panicked and wanted to run back, but the cavalry team of more than a dozen people just pushed and shoved into a mess and couldn't use their fists and feet.

Alleyne yelled, "It's now!" With that, he picked up the sword he had held in Fat Robin's blacksmith shop and rushed towards one of the water thieves without thinking, and his head fell to the ground.

Behind him, Karadus also began to exert his strength, and the spear in his hand was laid flat, stabbing into the heart of a water thief. The tip of the spear plunged through the thief's chest, then stabbed out from behind, and poked into the body of another person, splattering blood on the spot.

Those water thieves obviously didn't expect that the other party still had flank troops, and they were in a commotion for a while, and they panicked.

Alleyne didn't miss this good opportunity, and cut the necks of four or five people with the sword in his hand.

Rogge also reacted, yelling: "All attack!" and then took out the mace he carried with him and fought with the water thieves.

Without the advantage of a preemptive strike, the butcher knife in the hands of the water thieves looks quite ridiculous.

Alleyn didn't speak, just silently raised the longbow, took an arrow from his right hand around his back, pulled the bow to the full, aimed at the heart of a water thief, and let go!

There was no expected killing, and the string of the longbow was pulled by his force...... It's broken!

"It's too bad!" Alleyne roared, casually tossing the broken bow to the ground.

Gradually, the water thieves recovered from their initial panic and confusion and began to gather together, countless throwing knives and stones flying out of the array and striking Rog's armor.

Kradus' face was covered in blood, and the guy was already in combat mode, and he yelled: "Let you see how powerful Kradus is!"

He picked up a water thief with his spear, and then with a violent swing, the water thief roared in the air, and smashed it on the water thief's head like a boulder, crushing five or six people at once.

Kratos shouted excitedly, and his spear swung into the array of pirates.

At the same time, Rogge also killed more than a dozen water thieves, his armor was covered in blood, and he had a swollen piece on his forehead, which was hit by the water thieves' stones.

Alleyne suddenly sensed that something was wrong: "What about the others? Why are there only Rog and Karadus?"

More water thieves rushed out of the tent and surrounded Rog and Karadus!

Could it be that everyone else has been killed? and that we too will be wiped out like the advance party of Zenda? A wave of despair grabbed Aren's heart like a big hand.

Suddenly, the formation of the water thieves was in disarray, and the rest were like lost dogs, discarding the slaughtering knife in their hands and running into the darkness without their lives.

In the darkness of the night, Alleyne saw seven men form a cavalry formation, like a sharp knife thrust into the enemy's chest!

His eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, and the training of these seven people was an eye-opener for him.

The first three men sprinted with spears, the middle two men hammered their swords, and the last two men pierced the enemy's chest with their bows.

Then, seven people surrounded the panicked water thief, took out their war bows, and pulled their bows and shot arrows while riding their horses around the water thieves counterclockwise.

In less than a minute, the corpses of the water thieves were piled up.

Alleyne couldn't help but cheer, this attack was too timely!

The consequence of this charge was that corpses were strewn everywhere. The remaining two dozen or so people saw that the situation was not good, and they wanted to slip away.

Aren didn't give them a chance to escape, and stabbed them from behind, harvesting their heads with a crisp and neat finish.

Rogge suddenly shouted at him, "Chase him! Don't let him run!"

"Where is it?" Alleyne hurriedly searched carefully, but the night was too dark to see where the last person was.

He steadied himself on his horse, threw his right arm back, and threw his spear like a javelin!

The spear hit the last target accurately, piercing his chest and nailing his body to the ground!

"Wayne, thanks to your timely presence this time. After the fight, Rog said to his old partner.
