Chapter Twenty-Four: Give My Neck to Uncle, I'm Stretching
While he was pondering, a pirate entered, a scout who specialized in detecting the movements of passing caravans or armies. Now that he's in, it means there's new information.
Could it be that the Fifth Corps is coming! Jeffrey suddenly thought.
"Chief, we found a caravan in the woods near Ferchen, they were carrying a lot of food, but they only had a dozen people, this is a rare opportunity."
The pirate scout had encouraged his leader to rob the caravan, and they had recently been fed half as much a day because of a lack of food, a situation that had long since displeased the group.
Now that he has the opportunity to change his food, of course, he hopes that his leader will rob.
"Don't be in a hurry, call Judson and Hull for me."
Jeffrey decided to call his trusted subordinates over to discuss, these are extraordinary times, and everything has to be careful.
The Scout immediately left, and several burly men walked in.
Jeffrey saw that the first to come in was Judson, who was his most trusted subordinate, and the second man was Hull, who, like Judson, was Jeffrey's trusted subordinate, and the rest were some captains, who were the backbone members of the bandit group.
"Our scouts have spotted a caravan with a large amount of food and only a small number of men to escort it, although the Nord Kingdom has now sent troops to suppress the bandits.
But we have very little food left, so we can consider taking the goods and food of this caravan. What do you guys think? Jeffrey asked tentatively.
"I don't think this will work, now that we attack, it will definitely attract the attention of the Nord army, so it's better to wait until the limelight has passed." Hull was the first to say that he was reluctant to take any chances.
Despite what he said, there were people who came out against it.
"No, we can't just stay here and starve to death, we have to go out and rob, and the robbery will not necessarily be discovered by the army, but if we don't go out, we will definitely starve to death." Judson said.
In fact, this sentence is not necessarily starved to death, their station is close to the sea, this group of pirates can fish to satisfy their hunger, of course, they may be discovered when they go out, and then attract the attention of the army.
However, Judson is a traitor to the Flying Serpent bandits, and he is ready to encourage the pirates to rob.
"It seems that Judson has the same opinion as me." Jeffrey said to Judson, he actually wanted to go out and rob, and to become the leader of the pirates, of course, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was not afraid of the army's attack.
"Well, Judson and I will go out, and Hull you will stay here." Jeffrey gave the order.
Seeing Jeffrey's expression, Hull knew that Jeffrey had to go out and rob it. He sighed helplessly in his heart, hoping that this loot would not attract the attention of the army.
Walls didn't have any horses with him, and there was a forest nearby, so it was better to fight on foot than on horseback. He looked at the sword in his hand, it was a one-handed sword, it was ordinary and slightly damaged, but it was sharper than his rusty sword.
This is the weapon that Kaiser gave himself.
Your sword will not be able to pierce the armor of the pirates, and this sword is for you, and it may save your life in a critical time. This was said by Kaiser, who was now resting with himself.
In fact, this is to save energy and wait for the arrival of the pirates, for the group of Walls, it is to save their physical strength and prepare to escape, just with these rudimentary equipment, they can only become the soul of the pirates.
When fighting, you still have to rely on these professional armies.
The weather was sunny at this time, but the bright sunshine could not dispel the fear of everyone, of course, only some people were afraid.
Kaiser was staring at the bright blade of his one-handed combat axe, and he knew it would soon be coated in a layer of blood.
And Owens was quietly looking at this Nord royal guard, he was a Nord native, and of course hoped that he could become a Nord royal guard. He also wanted to be like Kaiser.
As for Ellene, he looked at the forest in the distance, where a group of Nord ambushes waited for the enemy to arrive, and Walls did not tell anyone about the plan.
He just said to his men that he would run away when the Hakos arrived, but it was a shame for a nobleman to run away, even though many of them no longer kept this tradition.
On the other side, Jenks clutched his hunting bow, he'd hesitate if he should stay and kill a few pirates, and he wanted to be praised by the villagers like Walls.
As for the others, they were already preparing to start running away. Their purpose is very simple, they will run away when the pirates come, they don't know the plan, but they know that after a while, there will be a lot of pirates, so many of them can't beat them, so they are ready to escape.
At this moment, on the hill not far away, a burly figure suddenly appeared. I don't know who shouted first, "Haikou is coming" Everyone looked around.
Just now, a group of pirates with round shields and axes rushed down from this small hill.
Run, run, this phrase immediately appeared in everyone's minds. Immediately after that, a group of people began to take steps.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Kaiser said to the four men who remained in place.
"I'd like to get some loot." Walls said.
"I don't want to run away." That's what Alleyne said.
"I want to be like you." Owens spoke his mind straight away.
Jenks' idea seemed simple, "I want to kill a few pirates." ”
Hearing the words of these four people, Kaiser showed a slight smile. "Very well, then let's cut down these scumbags."
Drassell mocked mercilessly: "A bunch of horsemen, what a foolish insight......"
[System prompt: You used to be similar, right?] The pot calling the kettle black! 】
As soon as the words fell, I heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching rapidly.
Jeffrey had seen most of the caravan flee, but five men remained.
But it's only five people, what is that?
He noticed a warrior in full armor.
The Nord royal guards? Is it because of him that these four people don't run away? His scout also told him that there was a fully armed man, and it seemed to be him. But is this one person trying to fight with forty of us?
Seeing that victory was in sight, Geoffrey thought that the Nord royal guard had retired and became a mercenary for the small caravan. Only three of the remaining four people in this caravan were wearing chain armor, and such combat effectiveness could not be compared to his subordinates.
At least twenty of his own subordinates wore chain armor.
And he himself was dressed in the most luxurious equipment, and in the eyes of the Haikou he was already a very rich man.
Jeffrey wears an elaborate set of elaborate chain mail with chain mail leg guards, a gladiator's helmet on his head, and a battle axe in both hands, which can easily slash through the chain mail, and ordinary armor is a piece of wood in front of him.
And that's not all, he also carries a bag of short javelins on his back, which he can use to pierce the enemy's head when he gets close.
And his most trusted subordinate Judson also wore chain armor, leg guards, and held a one-handed battle axe and round shield.
Jeffrey believes he can kill them all, the Nord royal guards? He's not afraid!
"Kill, grab all their food."
After hearing this, those pirates ran faster, they were not afraid, these people were lambs, and soon, their blood would stick to their axes and swords.
"Whoosh" Jenks shot one of his own arrows, just in the chest of one of the pirates, slowing down, but he was wearing chain armor and a little far away.
This results in him taking less damage. So he didn't die, only suffered a minor injury.
"My bow isn't powerful enough." As he spoke, Jenks fired another arrow.
The same arrow also hit the pirate, but due to the pirate's equipment, the pirate was only slightly injured, and if Jenks had replaced it with a more powerful bow, the effect would have been different.
"You stand back first, it's better for you to use a bow and arrow." Walls said to Jenks.
Jenks nodded, he knew where his position as an archer was. As soon as Jenks left, he heard a loud roar in his ear.
"The scum in front, stretch your neck to my uncle."
This sound frightened the birds of the entire forest away, and also frightened the pirates on the other side.
"It's an artistic swear word, and I'm going to learn it." At this time, Drassel, who was watching from the sidelines, was very fond of him. 、
[System prompt: That is, I don't know how much more quintessential than the old-fashioned trick I opened before you! 】
And the next moment, a noise rang out all around.
"What's going on?" Jeffrey, the leader of the pirates, heard movement around him, and he scanned the surroundings and was immediately frightened.
A group of Nord soldiers appeared from all around at some point.
"Hurry, hurry, retreat." Although he didn't know how many Nord soldiers there were, Jeffrey believed that they must be more numerous than his own, and it was always right to retreat first anyway.
Jeffrey, who was in high spirits just now, is now like a defeated puppy.
Jeffrey wanted to run away, but Walls wouldn't let them run, Kaiser, Alleyne, Owens, and Jenks wouldn't let them run away, not only they, but neither would these Nord soldiers who hated bandits.
"Kill them all." The Nord soldiers shouted.
