Chapter 46: The Thief Burns the House

Wren managed to storm the stables and encountered two bandits tending to the horses, and he drew his sword and stabbed them over in succession. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Turn around and use your shield to block the saber that is coming from behind you, and then the shield pushes the saber to the side, and then stabs the sword out of the gap between the shield.

Lifting his foot, he kicked the assassin to the ground, and the other companion, who was too late to dodge by the thief, was knocked to a somewhat unsteady footing.

Wren took the opportunity to take two quick steps and slashed the sword in the opponent's hand, and then the shield slapped on the face of the bandit with an unstable center of gravity, and blood splashed out mixed with teeth.

One of the remaining bandits was shocked by his companion's teeth being knocked off, and he only had time to glance at Wren's sword before a cut in his body was cut open and tore - a stream of blood spurted out.

The bandit looked at the blood splashed out of him in horror, his legs were so weak that he fell to his knees, forgetting to resist and scream, and then he also enjoyed Wren's shield feast, and received the same treatment as his previous companions, and the whole person fell in blood, and the two flying teeth no longer knew where they flew.

Wren untied the horses one by one, and then slapped or stabbed the horse's buttocks with his sword, and the horses began to run around like a hornet that had been stabbed.

The remaining horse, Rayne, deliberately did not untie it, and this horse did not know what to do to it, and was walking around the reins restlessly.

Wren didn't care about the horse for the time being, took a handful of hay from the horse's stone trough, lit it with flint, took a piece of firewood from the brazier outside the stable, and wrapped a piece of cloth from the thief's clothes and wrapped it on the firewood, soaked it in the brazier, and then threw the burning hay into the brazier, and lit the wet cloth and firewood holding the oil to make a torch to use.

After setting the stable on fire with a torch, Wren returned the sword to the shield, took the torch and shield in his left hand, unreined the horse with his right hand, and then mounted the remaining horse, pinched the horse's belly with his foot, and let the horse rush to the gate of the cottage.

A team of ten thieves had arrived when Wren set fire to the stables, but were stopped by the rushing horses and could not reach the stables in time to stop Wren.

Some of the horses were stopped and controlled by them, and the rest were left to be dealt with by the other bandits, who were now tasked with catching the culprit, Wren.

Sirens sounded at the sentinel posts on the upper floors, smoke billowed from the stables, and the fire began to grow in size.

Wren saw several bandits in a circle, some on horseback, some on the ground aiming their crossbow arrows at themselves, and some with sabers or spears.

He quickly bent down and sideways to block the front with his shield, allowing the horse to maintain its speed and rush towards the encirclement.

Perhaps fearing that they would hurt their horses, the crossbow archers hesitated to fire their crossbow arrows, and when they saw Wren's horses approaching, they gave way to let Wren pass, while several bandits on horseback drove their horses to block Wren's path after rushing past the crossbowmen, and the other saber and spear bandits followed the riders.

Wren did not follow the horse through the crossbowmen's defenses, but when he was about to pass by several of the crossbowmen, he voluntarily slipped from behind the horses' butts, and then brandished a burning torch, using it as a sword, and poked the eyes of two bandits who did not react to the crossbows, causing them to fall to the ground and roll with their heads in their hands.

The two crossbowmen on the other side of the horse were also poked in the eye after the horse ran away, and the other stopped with the palm of his hand, and the heat of the torch burned his hand so much that he was slapped on the head by the shield that followed.

There was a bandit's wooden house more than ten meters away, and there was also a brazier next to it, and Wren came out with a torch, and the goal was very clear - to set a bigger fire and make a bigger movement, so as to cover Mo He to save people.

Wounding a few crossbowmen, Wren turned and sprinted in the direction of the brazier, regardless of the bandits who approached him, mounted on horseback or on the ground.

The bandits at the sentinel were already shooting arrows down, but they weren't slow to move from Wren, and no arrows hit him.

The scattered horses have been basically controlled, but the whole cottage has been in a mess, and more thieves are running towards Wren, intending to capture this troublemaker.

There were already bandits intercepting them on the way to the hut's brazier, and they had found their weapons to help after seeing their companion wounded by Wren with a torch.

Wren didn't slow down, he was wearing armor and a shield, fully armed, most of the bandits here were cloth clothes, there was no protection at all, and as soon as he set up a shield, there was a gap in the human wall, and the passage opened.

When passing through the human wall, wave torches left and right to repel those who dare to approach, and then try to run a few more steps until you reach the brazier.

Throwing the torch into the brazier, Wren drew his sword from behind the shield with his free hand, turned and held the shield to his chest, and met the first group of bandits approaching behind him—the Black Pressed One, at least five or six of whom were about to knock him down and stomp him flat.

Although it was a fire oil made from animal fat, the torch that had just been thrown in would not quickly maximize the fire of the brazier, and Wren would need to guard it for at least ten seconds before proceeding to the next step of his plan.

But these ten seconds were enough for Wren himself to be surrounded by a dozen or twenty bandits and deliver a fatal blow.

The bandits at two sentinels in the high ground never stopped shooting at him, and when they saw that a large number of their companions were very close to the target, they were worried about being injured by mistake, so they all temporarily stopped their attacks, continued to pay attention to the battle situation, and waited until the time was right before shooting arrows.

One person, one sword and one shield, Rennes, the defensive fortress of the armored shield swordsmen, rushed into the first batch of bandits, the shield blocked most of the attacks, turned around to dodge, moved to avoid the remaining attacks, and then quickly shot, or slashed or stabbed or sharpened, so that the first group of bandits besieging Rennes were collectively lying on the ground.

Some of the second group of bandits stepped on the bodies of their companions to attack Wren, while others carefully dodged the fallen parts of their companions and slowly approached the attack.

Wren used the old method, blocking, dodging, and counterattacking, and killed three bandits who stepped on the bodies of their companions in a row.

The next bandit was knocked away by Wren with a shield, and he slashed back with a sword, hooking his arm to the back of an enemy's head, pulling him to his side as a human shield, blocking the spear stabbed by a bandit next to Wren.

Wren slashed the spear, and then cut off the bandit's arm along the remaining barrel of the spear, and under the unstoppable pain, the bandit directly squatted on the ground with the broken arm and cried loudly.

After dealing with the second wave of attacks, Wren retreated to where he had resisted the first wave of bandits, with the walls of the wooden house behind him and the rock wall on his right, so the pressure to defend was much less.

A dozen bandits did not catch Wren, and the follow-up bandits did not rush over stupidly, under the command of their small leader, some bandits with crossbow arrows were concentrated in front, obviously intending to use crossbows to eliminate Wren.

Ten seconds had passed, and the brazier behind Wren's guard was already blazing.

He didn't turn around, but kicked the brazier over with his hind footboard, and the oil was scattered all over the ground, and a lot of it stuck to the walls of the wooden house, and the fire burned down the oil to the walls of the wooden house.

The next thing is to hold on for another minute and let the fire expand. Coupled with the fire on the side of the stable, this should be able to disperse a lot of bandits to deal with the fire.

Wren has been keeping an eye on the crossbowmen, and although a small number of crossbowmen have little effect on the fully armed shield swordsmen, the more numerous they are, the more troublesome they have.

Wren didn't wear a helmet, and when he was rescued by Mo He, his helmet had already been lost, and his armor was not completely seamless.

His ribs, armpits, and joints were bare, and he would be injured if an arrow hit them.

However, now that the enemy's movements are clear, and Wren only has to take care of himself, as long as he does not attack him with a military crossbow, he has a countermeasure to deal with these crossbow archers in front of him.

More than a dozen crossbow archers fired at the same time, and Wren directly erected the shield, blocking the head, and then the whole person half-crouched, reducing the space exposed to the shield.

Some of the bolts landed on the wall behind Wren, and some of them hit the shield, and the clanging ended with Wren not hurting at all.

These bandits were not stupid, and when they saw that the attack was not satisfactory, they immediately thought of a new battle plan.

The spear-wielding man was in the front, and the saber and the crossbow were mixed, followed by the spear bandits in the front row.

At this moment, Wren felt that his life was seriously threatened, and he could no longer sit still in this place, the fire behind him was basically burning, and it would be best if it could spread a little more, and he had to evacuate if it could not spread.

First retreat to Mo He's side, and then join Mo He and escort the hostages to the eighth master. The eighth master is defending against the enemy outside the gate, as long as he retreats to the mountain road, in a small space, the numerical advantage will be greatly weakened.

And the eighth master said that he has a killer weapon, fighting on the mountain road, these bandits will die a miserable death.

Before the encirclement was formed, Wren charged the pikemen on the side, and when he got close to his opponent, he jumped straight up, shielded his half of his body with his shield, and smashed the gap open with his weight.

The two spearmen who were knocked down were trampled under the feet of Wren, who was not in a hurry to get up, kept his crouching position, and stabbed a saber bandit who was about to attack him behind his shield.

And the two crossbow archers fired crossbow arrows at close range, one hitting the shield and the other on the shoulder pads.

Only then did Wren stand up and attack the two crossbowmen, one slashing at the crossbower's face and the other on the short crossbow that the other crossbow archer used to fend off.

The crossbow was cut off and flew away, but the crossbowman's life was saved for the time being.

Having broken through the encirclement, Wren didn't care about the situation behind him, and ran straight in the direction of the nearest cage in front of him, which could provide some long-range defense.

One by one, the arrows chased Wren's heels and shot them to the ground, and Wren came to the cage without danger, and with the help of the shield and the cage, he was safe for the time being.
