――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
It was completely dark, and a bonfire was lit in the green forest.
The crossbow-wielding mercenaries in the team are scattered in the jungle around the campfires, vigilantly watching out for possible sneak attacks at night.
Alleyne sat on a mossy stone, sharpening his sword by the light of the fire.
Wiggins sat in the carriage by the campfire, his eyes fixed on the prisoner with his hands tied by the fire, and the knuckles of the dagger pinched with exceptional force.
They can just leave and get out of this jungle in a few days, without any more casualties and losses. The swollen corners of the captive's beaten mouth had just confided in the Green Forest Society not long ago.
Scattered in the surrounding forest, there are different forces, countless deserters, hunters, and displaced people who form these groups in the deep forest that have survived countless encirclements.
The Forest Brotherhood is the strongest of them all, and its strength should not be underestimated, and its centuries-long entrenchment has allowed this organization to have tens of thousands of forces across the continent of Calradia.
Even in this forest, there are more than several thousand members of the Forest Brotherhood. With almost every bow and arrow in their hands, they now have no way to shred it easily.
"It's time to go. Alleyne stood up beside the jumping campfire, his black eyes occupied by the blazing light of the fire.
The mercenaries around them were silent, as if they were thinking, but in fact they were just waiting for the first person to speak first.
The burning wood crackled in the campfire, and the trees that blocked the sun also blocked the shadow of the moon.
Tonight a few fell asleep, a few slept not, but all were armed, struggling between the gap between death and life.
The moon hung high, and the mercenaries in the forest packed up and threw the captives onto the wagons that hauled the goods. The flagbearers were replaced, and the heads of the three brothers were buried under a tree not far away.
Manid stroked the hilt of his sword at his waist and led the horse that belonged to Yoda behind the group. The only sound in the forest was the tireless chirping of sleepless birds and the sound of weapons rubbing against clothes.
No one spoke tonight, and even Mo Mocha, who couldn't bear the loneliness the most, closed his lips tightly and couldn't say a word.
The procession marching in the darkness disappeared into the jungle in a wordless dead silence, leaving the sad place where the campfire was burning.
Looking up, the trees blocked the moon, and the pitch-black forest was barely lit by a few faint torches in the team.
Guided by the captive, they took advantage of the dim moonlight to slowly reach a hidden camp of the Forest Brotherhood in the forest.
What greeted them was not a camp at all, but more like an ordinary village. The low houses were lined up one after the other, and the flickering lights in the houses illuminated the figures of the people around them.
"Where do you usually keep your captors?" asked Alleyn as Wiggins put his dagger under the robber's neck.
The panicked robber confessed truthfully: "From here, in the second row of houses, I saw a wooden house with chains on the door, which was used to lock people. ”
"Ryan, Jamila," Alleyn commanded, "you two are hiding in the forest with the few remaining crossbowmen, and when we rescue Yodah, you will be in charge of intercepting the robbers who are chasing them." ”
"Wiggins, Karadus, Stronger, Jager, and Tea, you five sneak in with me to save people," Alleyne's tone was unquestionable, "The rest of the people are waiting here, and you don't rush over to whatever happens inside." At this moment, he really showed the irresistible momentum of a leader.
"Head, what about me?" asked the forgotten Manid. "What should I do?"
"Oh, my dear butler," Alleyne teased suddenly. "You don't have to do anything, you just have to save your life. In an instant, he was back to his old self.
Mo Cha and Wiggins couldn't help but laugh, and even the robber who was captured by them almost laughed out loud, as if he had forgotten his identity.
Alleyne removed the repeater from his left waist and held it tightly in his hand. In a pinch, this repeater, which can shoot five bolts in a row, is his killer weapon.
Six bandits with steel knives patrolled around the camp around the area, and Alleyne waved to Wiggins and Stunger, motioning for them to sneak over and wipe out the two sentry posts on the left.
Yager and Mo Cha dealt with the other two robbers, and the remaining two robbers were to be dealt with by himself, and he only needed to quietly get a little closer, and he could use his repeater to kill the two robbers standing guard at the main gate in succession.
They had to find Yodah and rescue the resting bandits in the camp before they could wake him up, or they alone would not be able to deal with the hundreds of robbers in the camp.
Wiggins and Stunger quietly wiped the necks of the two sentry posts on the right side of the camp's perimeter, and continued to crouch on the grass to continue sneaking through the front gate of the camp.
Mo Cha and Yager on the left are progressing a little slowly, and they are crawling slowly on the ground after changing into night clothes, as if they are relatively empty in front of them, and if they move too much, they will be easily discovered by the other party.
"No, I can't hold it anymore," said the short robber, clutching his stomach. "I'm going to next to me, and he's here to watch. ”
"Go, go," said the other long-faced robber, waving impatiently at his companion. "You ****** Lao Tzu stay away, don't spread the smell here. ”
Seeing that the opportunity had come, he gestured twice to Jacobi, and then quietly lay on the ground and followed the robber who was running into the woods on the left.
Yager, who was lying on the ground, directly took off the crossbow behind him, and then slowly placed a crossbow in the crossbow trough, and then aimed at the opposite target, and with a whoosh, the crossbow flew away, hitting the center of the bandit's eyebrows.
Soon, Ellen also used his repeater to easily eliminate the two robbers standing guard at the entrance of the camp. After dealing with the pooping robber, Mo Mo Cha also quietly ran over from the woods.
"Tea, you two are waiting at the door, and if you notice any movement, send us a code," said Alleyne as he looked at his companion and whispered. "Wiggins, Kradus, and Stunger came with me to save people. ”
Alleyne and Wiggins quietly entered the camp after changing into the robbers' clothes. They searched for the hut where the captives were held in the location of the robber they had caught.
At a left-turn junction they ran into two staggering robbers, who seemed to have drunk a lot, and one of them was shouting: "That boy must be able to sell for a good price, and then the brothers will be happy again." ”
Alleyne didn't know who the kid was talking about, but it was certainly not Yoda.
After Wiggins glanced at Stunger beside him, the two of them quickly rushed forward, and without waiting for the other side to react, the two drunken figures were solved in two or three strokes.
Wiggins and Stunger then dragged the two bodies into a corner where they could not be found, wiped the blood from the blades, and followed Alleyne and Kradus to find the hut with chains hanging in front of the door.
Soon, they found a house with chains in front of it, and Alleyne found that there was no one guarding the area, as if it was because of the lock insurance, and the people who were locked in it could not escape anyway.
Stunger and Kradus were in charge of watching the wind, and Alleyne and Wiggins quietly approached the door of the house.
