Chapter 35: The Fallen Storm Thief
On the wooden wall, the pungent smell of blood could not suppress the nostrils of Xiulin, irritating his stomach. Although there was not much food left in Xiulin's constantly cramping stomach, he still felt that his throat was almost unbearable, having never seen such a bloody scene a few times.
But Xiu Lin could only lean against the back of the curtain wall, curling up as much as he could, suppressing the urge to vomit.
Not far away, several corpses were scattered across the wooden wall, each with an arrow stuck in it. After seeing Duff killed, these people were about to run to ring the alarm bell set aside, but they didn't expect to be killed by an arrow after not running a few steps.
This alarm bell was originally used to convey the enemy's situation, but it was too long and no one used it for too long, and it was already rusty.
The ones who came up are all dead, and the rest are relatively smart or didn't have time to react, and they don't dare to act easily at this time. It's just that people are bolder, and a little minion slowly crawls under the alarm bell on the ground.
I didn't dare to stand up and ring the bell directly, so I grabbed a spear from the side, which was a weapon issued to these little minions in charge of patrolling, and it was used for a scene, which was of great use at this time.
Tremblingly raising his spear, the people outside didn't seem to notice, and there was no movement. The tip of the spear lightly touched the bell, and perhaps because of the rust, it didn't ring as expected.
It didn't work once, and the people below saw that there was no movement outside, and they became bold, adjusted their posture, and swung hard, and the spear slapped the alarm bell.
"Bell", the crisp sound spread around, and the people on the second wall heard the sound, and immediately reacted, something big happened. The leader of the second wall hurried over and rang the alarm, then the third wall, and soon the entire colony was heard.
The boss of the Wind Thieves is a strong man with a full beard, but the second is a weak scholar, his appearance determines his work, the boss is brave and powerful and responsible for fighting on the battlefield, and the second is resourceful and resourceful to make suggestions for the development of the group. It is because of the close cooperation between the two over the years that the Storm Thieves have been able to grow to the scale they are today.
At this time, the boss and the second child are discussing in the hall how to intercept and kill the escort team of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, since the last time he suffered a loss at the hands of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, the boss has always wanted to take revenge, but he has been dissuaded by the second child.
This time, the second child came forward to discuss the possibility of cooperation with the other two, and these two have long had a plan against the wolf warriors, after all, they escorted a lot of money! This time, the second child came forward, and the three parties hit it off and made an agreement to act together.
Not long after the second child rushed back, he was reporting to the boss on some details of the tripartite joint action and the most important distribution of results. The other two proposed to be divided equally among the three parties, and of course the second one would not agree, who made the Wind Thieves the strongest of the three groups.
But the 622 distribution plan proposed by the second child did not pass, and the other two mean that if this is the case, there is no need to say anything about cooperation, and finally under multi-party consultation, the distribution plan of 433, which is acceptable to everyone, was proposed.
After listening to the second child's report, the eldest was about to say something when the sound of the alarm bell came into the hall. The eldest and second looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. You know, the original intention of setting the alarm bell is just to put on a show, not really to make it work.
Moorle's route to the outside world is the golden road, and the bandits who can survive on this route would have been wiped out long ago if they had no background. Needless to say, the private armies of those nobles, even the rich merchants in the city of Moorle, each paid a little money, and the recruited mercenaries could drown the wind bandits.
Behind the Wind Thieves is a rich man in the city, and most of the dirt he has stolen is through the rich merchants, of course, there will be some discounts on the price. Occasionally, the Storm Thieves would follow the rich man's request and make some caravans disappear along the way.
It is precisely because of the existence of the rich that the Wind Thieves can survive here, and as far as the boss knows, there are also some rich shadows behind the other two. Now, the alarm bell on behalf of the enemy came to the door rang for a long time, but the boss did not get any news in advance, which made the boss quite uneasy.
"Let's go, go out and have a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could walk out, a small leader rushed in, "Chief, something happened, someone, several brothers have died on the first wall when they hit the door!"
As soon as the boss heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy, "Gather the brothers, go to the wall, no matter who comes, kill them!"
Soon, there were a lot of people with bows and arrows on the first wall, these people were not people like Xiulin, they were all elites who could fight in the stronghold. Although the kung fu of a bow and arrow is not a hundred shots, it can be regarded as very skilled.
What is intriguing is that the outside of the wooden wall is quiet at this time, and the wooden wall is crowded with people, but no arrows break through the air, as if all the people outside have suddenly disappeared.
Xiu Lin took this opportunity to withdraw from the wooden wall, and just walked to the second wooden wall, only to hear a slight noise behind him, and then all kinds of screams came and went. Xiu Lin looked back, the flames were soaring, and a wall of fire covered the passage above the wooden wall tightly, and those who had just gone up could only struggle in the flames and then fall.
The eldest and second who stayed on the second wall looked at the sky-high fire in front of him, and his face could drip water, this was definitely caused by a rocket salvo, there could only be one explanation, there was at least one fire magician on the other side, and it was above the third level.
"Retreat!" the boss slammed his fist on the wooden wall, and then gave the order to retreat. Since he knew that there was a fire mage on the other side, staying on top of the wooden wall was simply asking for his own death.
Everyone withdrew, but everyone's hearts were heavy, and in a square inside the stronghold, all the forces of the Wind Thieves were gathered here. Although it seems that there are many people, the boss knows very well in his heart that today is likely to be the end of the Wind Thieves.
"Then let's fight, even if I die, I'll pull a few of them on the road!"
It's a pity that the people on the other side have no intention of fighting face-to-face with the Wind Thieves, and fireballs and feather arrows are shooting from all directions. One by one, the members fell, and the boss's eyes were about to crack, but there was nothing he could do.
The arrow pierced directly through his chest, and the boss fell forever, disappearing from this world with his Wind Thief.
