Section 5: Mole (I)

The rope fence is very thin, made of animal tendons, very tough and very light, it can give latecomers a rough direction boundary, so that people will not walk into the vines and shrubs by mistake and cannot get out, but also to prevent accidental falls;

As soon as these two things were taken out, the atmosphere in the team became even more tense, and everyone mentioned 120,000 points of caution. At the same time, another Jianxi couldn't help but show up, because Townsend gave the information that he was rushing overnight, which convinced the other party. And under the existing conditions, a single annihilation is simply not busy.

However, what people didn't expect was that this Jianxi hidden behind was actually a child. Townsend gave the monkey an order to pause at the resting place, and then continued to follow in silence with the captain and the others - they were also particular about not showing up, because there were far more townspeople than Spicy Mercenaries on the scene.

If there are still annihilators in the team, then in the case of "balance of strength", they are likely to show their feet.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at a makeshift resting place. This area is open and flat, and was originally used for smuggling camel caravans. Because there are always some small mistakes in the caravan that has just set out, such as loose ropes, loss of pack horses, or wrong cargo, there is also a cave where the goods are temporarily stored, and this cave is the best hiding place now.

The monkeys first asked people to cover the hole with vines, and then lit a fire to prepare for boiling water for cooking. This is also a means of disguise, the monkey assigned for a while, so that everyone is busy, and also separates the two annihilators from the others. At the same time, Townsend was already standing in the shadows of the cave entrance, and the captain and his three men set up an ambush a hundred meters away as a last resort.

If Jianxi can slip away from Townsend's hands, then he won't be able to dream of staying alive, and the four people behind him will be directly killed.

"The water is boiling," shouted the monkey inside the cave, "get started!"

Several women who were adding firewood to the fire were stunned, the iron pot had just been set up, and the water was not hotβ€”at this moment, the mercenary who was carrying firewood with the middle-aged Jianxi threw away what was in his hand, and a tiger pounced and crushed him to the ground. The other two mercenaries first controlled the middle-aged man's hands and feet, then picked up the hammer and knocked it on the middle-aged man's knee with two "pops".

At the moment when the middle-aged man was knocked down, the child holding a ration didn't even think about it, and rushed to the entrance of the cave with a leap!

His small size was extremely flexible, not only did the mercenary who was responsible for controlling him pounce into the air, but the overlapping vines did not work, he just twisted and swerved over!

Therefore, it was too late when the child heard the strange sound of the wind, and a wide shield flew head-on - only to hear a loud "dang" sound, and the child was directly smashed back by Townsend with a shield!

Townsend was reluctant to exert himself, and this time he smashed very hard, and the half-unconscious Xiao Jianxi was blocked by the vines, and his body turned half a circle before he landed.

The mercenary who had lost before pounced viciously, first "banging" two punches to directly stun Xiao Jianxi, and then did it according to the standard procedure taught by Townsend - first use a template to imprison the hands and feet and even each finger, then check whether there is something hidden in the facial features, and finally check whether there are any abnormal scars on the surface of the body, etc.

Be very careful about this, because you don't know what disgusting stuff is hidden on Jianxi's body, and if you are careless and make a noise, everyone will have to finish it. So after a while, two shelves, one large and one small, were erected in the cave, and two slick slenders hung on them. They were tied delicately, with tiny ropes restricting almost every joint.

Marcia got the news beforehand, of course, she won't stop it, and she has even been on guard, ready to help in time when the monkeys and others are not in time.

But until this point, the townspeople had not reacted. Some of them watched dumbfounded, others subconsciously made defensive gestures, the women shivered, and the children cried - the monkeys did not think so, and only distinguished the faces with wary eyes, for fear that there would be a third in the ranks.

Monkeys not only have to observe, but also have to look at many people, and keeping their eyes sharp is very tiring. But fortunately, no anomalies were found, which was very reassuring to the monkeys. After Marcia made all the normal gestures, he followed and lifted his guard.

Townsend outside was also observing, and after a while he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, he walked in with the giant shield - he had to show up at this point, because the monkey couldn't do it below.

Nodding to Marcia, then sticking his shield on the ground, Townsend sat down by the largest fire. After a moment of silence, he reached out to straighten the iron pot before beckoning to the worried townspeople: "Come here, everyone, don't freeze." Monkey, ready to cook, it's too cold, there is meat. ”

"Understand! Cook!" the monkey called a mercenary to bring out something like jerky, and cooked seriously, bread and fruits, and even two jugs of wine.

Seeing that the mercenaries were really cooking instead of continuing to arrest people, the townspeople gathered around in fear. The children had forgotten their fears, and some of the younger ones even broke free from the hands of adults and ran to the mercenaries who were cutting meat to look at them with their fingers in their mouths. The mercenary hurriedly cut some bread grains for them to chew first, for fear that one of them would accidentally let them swallow the raw meat.

"Sit down," Townsend beckoned to the townsfolk again, "don't just sit on the ground." ”

This time the effect of talking was much better than the last time, and everyone found something to sit on with their butts. The men are still faintly protecting the women, while the women are holding or holding the children...... It's a small detail, but Townsend has a good impression of the townspeople.

"My name is Townsend, the leader of the Spicy Mercenary Regiment. Everybody knows what happened two days ago, the town of Harvey was destroyed, I just went to see it, and there are probably no living people except us. Townsend said calmly: "And what is the current situation, why we have crossed the mountains and mountains overnight, you may not know, I will tell you about it - so as not to have any misunderstandings." ”

Listening to Townsend talk about this topic, there was a faint sound of crying around him.

"It was the Church of Radiance that destroyed Harvey, the hand of the Ninth Apostle, and I was present at the time. I'm ashamed because I can't stop it. Townsend stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon, and put the meat strips and other ingredients down: "Don't cry, don't let the tears blind you, continue to listen to me." ”
