246. Hunt and kill
The four robbers were so frightened that they could not express their horror when they saw that the leader Taylor was slashed off by a sword from the knight who rushed from the opposite side, and they almost did not hesitate to turn their horses, and did not dare to run in the direction of the city of Highlandza, fearing that they would encounter the knights of the guard battalion who rushed from behind, so they fled in the direction of the village of Wall.
Surdak paused slightly, and bent down on his horse. With a modified Roman sword in his hand, he cut off Taylor's head with a single sword.
Then he chased after the four robbers who fled in a hurry, Surdak's mount was the war horse of the heavy cavalry of the Bena Legion, although it was not as explosive as the black-scaled horse, but it was true that the best pastures in the province of Durva produced excellent war horses, speed and endurance were far stronger than the horses ridden by these robbers.
Surdak did not wear heavy armor, nor did he carry a heavy knight's spear, nor did he have any armor on his horse, so the Guborai horse ran wild on the mountain path, catching up with the robbers in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The two robbers who were behind saw Surdak chasing after him from behind, and they were destined to escape, so they turned their horses' heads and charged at Surdak with their dark red scimitars, making strange whistling noises from their mouths.
When the two robbers who were running ahead heard this roar, they also gritted their teeth, grabbed the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and took the hunting bow in their hands, and stood in place and shot feathered arrows at Surdak at the same time, obviously the four of them were ready to fight Surdak desperately.
Surdak ignored the two feathered arrows that had gone nowhere, and stabbed the Roman sword out of his hand.
He doesn't know those flashy sword moves, and this fighting technique has also been learned by fighting demons in the Warsaw plane.
Although these actual combat skills against evil spirits are not suitable for these bandits, Surdak's strength is much higher than that of this group of bandits, and even if the four robbers join forces, they will not be able to resist Surdak's charge at all.
Surdak didn't pay attention to the scimitars cut by the two robbers at all, the blade of the Roman sword stabbed into the chests of the two robbers in no particular order, the scimitars of the two robbers only left two shallow marks on the skin pads of the Surdak monster, the two robbers widened their eyes, watching Surdak pass by them, the sharp Roman sword was pulled away from the robber's body by Surdak, and blood gushed out from the wound, and the two robbers only realized at this moment that it was good to be alive......
This time, Surdak did not make up the sword, but directly urged the horse to chase the robber holding the hunting bow in front, and the two robbers saw Surdak and did not have the courage to resist at all, so they wanted to run away again.
It's just that Surdak rode the Gubolian horse, galloping on the mountain road, the dense sound of horses' hooves was like death sounding the death knell, the gate of the underworld had been opened to them, the pupils in the eyes of the two robbers began to shrink to the size of pinholes, and the frightened expressions on their faces were infinitely magnified, until the knights behind them caught up, and at the last moment they desperately twisted the hunting bows in their hands towards Surdak's neck.
The heavy Roman sword with a faint golden glow slashed lightly on the hunting bow, and the iron-tired bow blade broke in response, and without waiting for the robber to react, he swung his sword and cut off his head, and then rode towards the wagon in front of him.
Surdak regretted a little, he knew that the bandit gang was so vulnerable that there was really no need to sacrifice, and he felt a little sorry for the precious salamander head. At the same time, he still couldn't understand how these robbers could still loot several noble manors on the outskirts of Hailanza one after another with such strength.
Along the way, more than two dozen robbers were cut off by Surdak, and their bodies lay on the mountain road.
He had chased him out of an oak forest, and by the time he had slain all the robbers, he had entered the barren land, a mountain road that stretched for nearly five kilometers, and the corpse of a robber lay at intervals.
There are no vegetation on the limestone layers, only some ravines grow in these weeds and drought-tolerant shrubs, and the robbers also thought of fleeing towards the mountains, but unfortunately this mountain road is a ravine nearly ten meters deep on one side, and a very steep slope on the other side, there is nowhere to escape.
Surdak stabbed the last robber over, stepped on the wagon with a bloody Roman sword, and saw the coachman, covered in blood, lying on the wagon, already dying, all but two large wooden boxes in the carriage had been thrown away by the coachman, and the wagon was also badly damaged, with at least two dozen feathered arrows stuck in the wooden box, and even the coachman had five feathered arrows stuck in his body.
The coachman's worst wound was inflicted by a feathered arrow, which pierced through the coachman's back.
The horse in front of the wagon also had a few feather arrows on its buttocks, and at this time it was lying on the mountain road, and the horse's mouth and nose were oozing clotted blood clots, which also appeared on the battlefield in the Warsaw plane, and Surdak knew that the horse's lungs had blown up, and in this case, the horse could not be saved.
Surdak stuck his Roman sword in a wooden box and crouched beside the coachman, examining his wounds.
The coachman's face was like gold paper, coughing up blood constantly, and it looked like he was dying, but the wounds on his body were not so serious at all, except for a feathered arrow that penetrated his chest, the rest of the feathered arrows were not enough to be fatal, except for these injuries, the coachman did not suffer any other injuries, probably before the group of robbers could hurt the coachman, Surdak caught up.
Surdak's palms exuded a burst of light, and he began to try to treat the coachman's wounds, stabilize the wounds, pull out the feathered arrows, stop the bleeding of the wounds, and then bandage them, although the coachmen were unconscious, but his breathing had stabilized, and if nothing else, the chances of survival were very good.
Then Surdak turned back along the mountain road, the horses of these robbers were loyal, the robbers lay on the mountain road, these horses did not run around, just waited quietly on the side of the road, Surdak tied the bodies of the robbers to the back of the horses, and collected more than twenty horses in one go, in addition to picking up the bodies of twenty-three robbers, there was also a noble lady who was tied into rice dumplings.
Surdak untied the noble lady's rope, gave her a blanket to cover her body, gave her a drink of saliva to recover a little, and let the horses carry the robber's corpse and Miss Hoyle back to the wagon.
Surdak reattached a sturdy horse to the wagon, removed the two large wooden boxes from the wagon, and lifted the unconscious coachman onto the wagon.
According to this Miss Hoyle, the bandits killed everyone in her house.
Expressing sympathy for Miss Hoyle's misery, and seeing that she seemed to be fine except for a few bruises, Surdak asked her, "Miss Hoyle, will you drive the carriage?" ”
Miss Hoyle waited for a pair of big innocent eyes and looked at Surdak in confusion: "......"
