Kevin and the general's guards chased the caravan all the way in a catapult, although the caravan was slow, but the catapult was not much faster, and it would take a while to catch up. The two of them sat in the car www.biquge.info didn't speak for a while.

In any case, Kevin's direct massacre of the guards is difficult to agree with. Even if the other side is a bandit, but after all, they have surrendered, and the rope has lost the ability to resist, and it is really inhumane to directly carry out a massacre at this time. Of course, everyone's way of doing things is different, Kevin can't say what is the use of pulling the bandits back, it is more reasonable to be in prison or on trial, etc., or maybe the soldiers who have been on the battlefield are used to simple and rough orders, and it is easiest to kill them directly without leaving any trouble.

But Kevin, as a bard, still has a hard time accepting this kind of approach. And the general's guards also reflect the general's personality and attitude to a certain extent, and the guards all smile when they kill, although they converge quickly, they are still seen by Kevin. What kind of person the general himself is, Kevin can somewhat speculate.

Of course, Kevin won't say it, he is just silently calculating in his heart, and saying it is also a joke by the guards. People who think in completely different ways are basically unable to communicate.

Kevin couldn't help but wonder what he would do if the general let him carry out a similar order.

It wasn't until late evening that Kevin's catapult caught up with the caravan and was immediately hoisted to the end. The guards got up and trotted all the way to report to the general. He was still covered in blood at this time, and the smell of fish was full of fishy all the way, and the merchants frowned, but no one said anything.

"General," the guard saluted before the general, "and on the way back to escort him, the bandits tried to resist. I've teamed up with Kevin to kill all the bandits. ”

"Yes," the general nodded, "come up and rest first." ”

The escort sat next to the general, the general snapped his fingers in the air, and a patrol parrot rushed down quickly, stopping firmly in the general's hand, and his wings were horizontal, which was the etiquette of a parrot: "General!"

"Inform the security team at the city gate and dispose of the corpse over there. The general spoke.

"Yes. The parrot saluted again, and then flew swiftly towards the city gate.

Along the way, there were no mistakes, and around the time the sun set, the caravan arrived at its destination safely. Of course, the escort is far from over so soon, the caravan will have to travel for about three days, and it is only the first transit station at present.

The merchants skillfully set up camp, took out food, lit bonfires, and sat around talking and laughing. The general is undoubtedly the object of the businessman's sycophant, even if the general has no interest in them, but it is already the habit of businessmen to meet the strong and pat on the back. It's always right to have a good relationship, maybe one day you will meet?

So the merchants still politely handed over all kinds of food: "Come, general, eat chicken legs!" and "Come, general, drink some wine." "Come on, General!, wipe your mouth!" ......

Although the general kills people without blinking, after getting acquainted with it, it feels like it can still be talked about. Businessmen sometimes have to seize business opportunities, and the situation must be understood clearly. At this time, listening to the general's analysis and analysis, I also think it is good.

The General's bodyguards set up the General's tent while Kevin fiddles with his catapult. Actually, his catapult has nothing to fiddle with, he just pretends. It is inconvenient for him to sit directly with the general, after all, the rank is a problem, and the general did not call him. He was also reluctant to help the general guard tidy up the tent, this kind of sycophant thing would definitely be done if Start did, but Kevin couldn't do it.

But if you stand aside and do nothing, it will seem too unusual, so let's fiddle with the catapult, Kevin is ready to sleep in the car at night, and it doesn't rain at night, so he can sleep on a mat.

"General! The guard came to report that he himself had changed his clothes and washed the blood.

"So that's it for today. The general also got up, "Rest early, everyone, and we'll leave early tomorrow." ”

The merchants, of course, had no objection, and dispersed and went back to their tents to rest. There is no need to be on duty at night, because the general is so strong that he will definitely notice it when there is a disturbance. With such a strong man on this trip, everyone is naturally extra relieved to rest.

But Kevin didn't fall asleep so easily, seeing such a bloody scene during the day couldn't help but make him think a lot and be a little upset, and he wasn't very tired along the way.

I lay down in the car for a while, but I still didn't fall asleep, so I simply sat up. Today the moon is quite large, and the light at night is good, looking back at the black outline of the rolling hills, looking forward is indeed an endless wilderness, the bright moon in the sky, the stars shining is also a good view.

Suddenly, a crow flew through the air and let out a burst: "Ah...... Yes...... Ahh......h

Kevin subconsciously looked up, but unfortunately the crow also looked down at Kevin, and one person and one bird looked at each other for a long time, and no one moved. Kevin saw the crow as a view, of course he didn't move, and as for why the crow didn't move, Kevin didn't know.

Suddenly, another parrot flew down, stopped next to the crow, and yelled at the crow: "You stupid bird! Get out!

Not to be outdone, the crow said: "Ah...... Ahhhh......h

"Believe it or not, the old bird is beating you?" the parrot flapped its wings, as if ready to peck at the crow. The crow is much larger than the parrot and is not afraid of the parrot at all under normal circumstances. Immediately flapped his wings and tried to go head-on.

Kevin immediately got up and sent a magic missile over to help, the parrot belonged to our army after all, and he had to help when he saw it. The crow was very dexterous and avoided it, but it was also visibly frightened and hurriedly flew away.

The parrot was left to salute Kevin, "Thank you, sir!"

"You're welcome. Kevin replied that he always had a good impression of parrots, even if some of them were particularly tugging.

"Why don't you sleep, sir?" the parrot flew down and landed on Kevin's shoulder.

Kevin smiled: "I'm old, I can't sleep with insomnia." ”

The parrot turned its head to look at Kevin, and then shook its head: "I still can't understand the language of the Terrans, forget it, I still have to patrol, so I'll go first." ”

"Yes. Kevin nodded and watched as the parrot flew into the air and disappeared into the night sky.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps on the side, and Kevin turned his head to look, only to see that the general had come out of the tent and was walking towards him. Kevin hurriedly got out of the car and saluted, of course, he still lowered his voice to prevent waking the others: "General!"

"Yes. The general nodded, and walked over nonchalantly.

"Why doesn't the general sleep?" asked Kevin.

The general glanced at him: "I'm old, I can't sleep with insomnia." ”

Kevin: "......"

"What about you, who have insomnia at a young age?" the general touched the catapult casually, and then sat on it with his hand.

Of course, Kevin didn't dare to sit with the general without getting the order, and still stood below and straightened: "General, I'...... I was worried about the next task, so I didn't fall asleep. ”

"Really?" the general patted his side, "come up and do it." ”

"Yes. Kevin sat next to the general. It was the first time to chat with a general at such a close distance, and it is estimated that other officers may not have had similar experiences.

The general turned his head and looked at the catapult structure again: "My guards reported that your catapult is good, and you have successfully stopped several bandits. ”

"Yes. Kevin didn't know whether to be humble or say thank you, so he could only answer as briefly as possible.

"Don't think we're targeting you," the general reassured, "I can't be a general against a lieutenant against you." Of course we all know you have difficulties, but you are also a soldier. There is nothing to explain that you, as a soldier, overcome difficulties when they have them. Do you understand?"

"Yes. Kevin had to make a respectful face, and he was educated by the general in the middle of the night.

"Do you think there will be no difficulty when I become a general?" the general chatted casually, "How many targets are lowered every year, how many requirements are issued every year, and almost all of us in the training of the Red and Blue Army are more losses and fewer wins." So what should we do? Do we complain all day long? As a soldier, I want you to guard a position, even if I don't give you weapons, but if I want you to go, you have to go. This is a soldier, you understand?"

"Yes. Kevin could only say once again that the general was right.

"Of course you're doing a good job now," the general looked back and affirmed, "the catapult is basically up to par, and it can be handled by one person." I really don't have anything to criticize you. ”

"The general has won the award. "Kevin is humble.

"What's next?" the general asked.

"In the next step, I plan to engrave hardening on the catapult in the hope of further improving the accuracy. And introduce more types of ammunition. At the same time, I would also like to have my own communication parrot so that I can keep in touch with the main army. It's better that I can pick up the food myself and come back and cook confidently, without thinking about it all the time in the canteen of other brigades. Kevin said what he really thought.

General: "......"

"Of course, if possible, it would be better to increase the number of catapults and also to increase the number of recruits. A catapult is difficult to make a big difference after all. Kevin added, "Of course, it depends on the development strategy of the army, I just hope." ”

"The plan is good," the general nodded, "If you want to implement this plan, you must first make a contribution." Next year, there will be a confrontation between the Red and Blue Army, and you can still make some achievements, then I will allocate funds to you, and the allocation will be justified. What do you say?"

"Yes. Kevin nodded.

After finishing speaking, the two were silent again, and the atmosphere became a little cold. Kevin thought for a moment, but still broke the cold and asked casually, "A crow flew over just now." Is it common here?"

The general didn't care: "I don't know. ”

"Where there are dead bodies, there will be crows?" Kevin asked, cautiously.

"Not necessarily," the general didn't care at all, and casually popularized some knowledge of crows to Kevin, "crows don't necessarily eat carrion, seeds and insects." Although it is considered by many writers to be a symbol of death on the surface, it is actually just a black bird. ”

"Oh. Kevin nodded.

"Actually, the intelligence of the crow is better than that of the parrot," replied the general, "and there is a detailed study by the Royal Academy, and the crow is almost the most intelligent of the known birds, excluding the magical beasts, of course. It knows how to use tools and has the ability to learn. And after training, he can even speak human words. Whether to train parrots or crows at the beginning, there was a long debate on the side of Wang Li Academy. ”

"Oh. Kevin doesn't know either, so he should increase his knowledge by listening.

"In the end, it's the trained parrot because the parrot lives a lot longer than the crow. Parrots have a lifespan of sixty or seventy years, or even more than 100 years old, and crows generally have a lifespan of about ten to twenty years. In the long run, I finally chose the parrot. The general replied, "After all, this bird also serves as a messenger, and it does not need to be too smart." It's too smart, but it's not good. ”

Kevin was silent, acquiescing to the general's words.

"But sometimes you have to be careful when you see birds," the general reminded, "and it could be the work of other mages, or it could be sent by hostile forces to investigate." ”

"Yes. Kevin nodded.

"Alright, that's all for today. The general got up, "Rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow." ”

"Yes. Kevin got up and watched the general go all the way into his tent. Originally, Kevin mentioned the crow, hoping that the general could have an explanation for the guards to draw a knife and slaughter, but the result may be too obscure, the general didn't find out, and instead popularized the knowledge of crows to him.

Forget it, Kevin didn't think much about it, and lay down to rest. When he woke up, the caravan was already making breakfast and packing up the tents, and seeing that everyone was so busy, Kevin was embarrassed to stand, so he kept fiddling with his catapult, and looked very busy.

Breakfast consisted of two breads, and everyone ate the same, and the general was no exception. After eating, it's okay to go on the road, and it's okay to eat slowly while walking.

After just a short walk, the parrot flew down and reminded Kevin: "Be careful, the descendants will follow behind." About thirty of them, with axes. ”

Kevin nodded, wary and not looking back, but shrunk in front of the catapult frame to prevent cold arrows from behind.

However, all the way to the next day's transit station, the group of people behind them followed like this, with no intention of attacking at all. Until the caravan stopped, and the people behind also automatically evacuated.

In the evening, the general summoned Kevin and his guards: "If they follow again tomorrow, you two will take the initiative and kill them all." ”

"Yes. The guard replied immediately.

"Yes. Kevin slowed down, but still accepted the order.

"Go and rest. The general didn't pay much attention and sent Kevin away.

After a night without incident, on the third day the caravan continued to depart, and after a short march, the people behind it appeared again, according to the parrot, it was still yesterday's group.

Following the general's orders, Kevin immediately stopped the catapult and turned the head of the car to stay where it was. The general's escort also came to Kevin's side, drew his sword, and prepared to kill.

"They're in the woods over there. The parrot flew lightly over Kevin's head, leaving a word.

The guard immediately spoke: "The catapult will be smashed first, and how many can be killed." ”

Kevin was helpless: "In the woods, catapults are basically powerless, unless they are fire oil bombs." ”

"Then go up, hack to death directly!" The method of the guards is really simple and rude, "I'll go in and kill, you guard the outside, come out and smash one to death, or use a bow and arrow, anyway, it's up to you." ”

"Wait," Kevin argued, "I don't know who the other party is......?"

"Who else could there be, bandits?" replied the guard.

"But even if the sheriff in the city encounters a ruffian in normal times, many warnings are ineffective, and he can only attack after drawing his sword is ineffective. Even if a foreign country approaches the border, it can only be attacked after repeated warnings are ineffective, why is this a direct killing?" Kevin still couldn't get used to this kind of brutal approach.

"Hmph. The guard disdained, "You don't tell me, you go and talk to the general." ”

Kevin had no choice but to remain silent.

"I'm on, you're watching from the outside. The guard picked up his sword and left, and in an instant, the forest screamed and cursed again and again, and there was a faint blood light, as well as the strong yellow fighting spirit. The general's guards are already sixth-order warriors, and most of the bandits are only at the farmer level in the end, and only a few can have a red fighting spirit, and their strength is far worse than him by more than a grade, and the equipment is too.

The guards are almost free of danger, such as chopping melons and vegetables. In a moment, several bandits fled in panic and ran from the woods to the main road. Kevin sighed in his heart, pulled his bow and shot arrows, and could only comfort himself that these people deserve to die, there is nothing to be sorry for.

However, Kevin's archery skills are a little lame, and he only barely passes the shooting fixed target, and Kevin, who is a lively bandit, can only guarantee to shoot, and few arrows hit the vital point. The bandit fell from an arrow, but still crawled forward in pain.

Kevin saw sweat on his forehead, pulled his bow and shot again, still hitting them in the buttocks, arms, shoulders, and waists, and the bandits couldn't die for a while, and they couldn't run, but the pain was even worse.

"Yo," the guard came out of the woods covered in blood, "I don't see that you still like to play this hand? ”

Without saying a word, Kevin walked a few steps and shot them in the head with a bow and arrow, finally killing them one by one. Prove with practical actions that I am not a pervert, I am just poor archery.

The guard smiled and didn't say anything. The two got on the catapult and chased the caravan again.

After that, there was no mistake along the way. The caravan arrived at its destination unscathed, paying a commission of 20 gold each to the General and Kevin. Speaking of which, Kevin's vision is now higher, and he feels that 20 gold coins is obviously less, if other mercenary groups come over and guard a caravan with at least dozens of people, 20 gold coins is really not enough. It's no wonder that this kind of task has been backlogged for three months, and no one wants to do it.

On the way back, the general and Kevin were separated. The general had fast horses, and of course there were guards, and the two of them got on their horses, and Kevin said goodbye to them, and watched them disappear from view, and then drove his catapult back slowly.

On the way back, I passed through the woods and saw a large flock of crows flying around. One of them flew onto the top of Kevin's frame and looked at Kevin for a moment.

Kevin couldn't help but remember that he was once ambushed by the Liberzier Kingdom on the border, but after being rescued by the Assassin Leader, he also left behind a dead body, when the crows flew around, and another one followed Kevin for a long time. You can't see the same one lately, right?

Kevin looked at it closely, but didn't see anything. Raise your hand to greet it, "Hey." ”

The crow was instantly frightened and flew away.
