Chapter 4 Counterattack
Dark clouds cover the sky, and sparse starlight shines through the clouds, illuminating the dead wasteland.
Bang bang
In the sound of horses' hooves, the two horses galloped side by side on the moor in the dark night.
"Huh" suddenly pulled the reins, and the bantam neighed in pain, and stopped abruptly.
"Ollie, that little monkey is no longer visible!"
The sturdy body of the bantam under the crotch was even shorter, and Alec's powerful palms clutched his two-handed greatsword, and his calm brown eyes slowly panned, searching for Xia Zuo's figure in the dark wasteland.
"He can't run far, he must be hiding nearby, this damn monkey old Barr this bastard shit"
After many years of mercenary career, they have long been accustomed to life and death, but after so many years of life and death partners, Ollie still can't help but grit his teeth at this time.
"Alec, you search from here, I search from the right, and after half an hour I detour from the middle, I don't believe it, I can't find that damn little monkey"
Tightening the cloak on his body to protect him from the cold, the spear in Ollie's hand pointed to the left of the two of them, and his face couldn't help but turn hideous when he mentioned Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo didn't flee too far, lying motionless in the rubble, trying to blend his body with the cold, biting stones.
In this vast and desolate plain, even if he could have the advantage for a while, he would not be able to outrun the horses, especially the bantam, although not good at sprinting, but good at carrying weights and full of stamina.
Running down in a panic, it was only a matter of time before he was blocked again, and besides, Xia Zuo had only been in this world for a few days, and in this rubble wasteland where everywhere was the same, even if he could barely tell the direction according to the rising and setting of the sun, he didn't know where to go at all.
There is no water, no food, and if he goes to the orc tribe, it is fine, but if he goes to human territory, he will face a fate that will be even more tragic than it is now.
So you must rescue at least one of the Munk orcs who live in the gravel wasteland, so that there is hope of getting out.
The original plan was to get the key and let the orcs escape together, but it was obviously no longer feasible, and now there was only another solution.
Xia Zuo's biggest advantage now is that a kind of mercenary treats him as an upright orc, but under the skin of the Munk orc, there is a hidden cunning soul of a human.
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, a vague black shadow quickly cleared in the darkness.
Xia Zuo leaned lower, grabbed the sharp tooth-shaped stone in his hand, took a deep breath, and held his breath for the mercenary to arrive.
With the reins in one hand and the sword in the other, Alec's eyes calmly surveyed his surroundings, and his muscular body bowed slightly on horseback, allowing him to strike back in the face of a sudden attack.
Natsuzo lowered his head and buried his head almost in the dirt to prevent the old mercenary from having a natural physical reaction to his gaze.
"One, two, three" silently calculated in his heart the sound of horses' hooves almost close to his body, Xia Zuo quietly waited for the opportunity.
"Whew" suddenly sounded the sound of breaking wind.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time" Instead of panicking, Alec on horseback hooked a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth, and without looking back, he swung his heavy two-handed sword with one hand and slashed quickly behind him.
There was a dense clinking, and there was a lot of flying gravel on the back.
Xia Zuo's figure suddenly leaped out from under his horse, and slammed his fist into Alec's face like a hungry wolf.
"Stupid Monkey" sneered disdainfully, and the greatsword that slashed backwards was suddenly pulled back, and the broad blade swept back with a whistling, if Xia Nuo was intent on rushing forward, he would be cut in two by the greatsword before he could hit Alec.
The fist he swung out suddenly opened, and a handful of loess was immediately raised from the palm of his hand, and at such a close distance, even if Alec hurriedly closed his eyes, he was still squinted by the yellow sand.
"Damn monkeys, despicable orcs," Alec yelled angrily.
Even a human warrior would not use such a nasty move, let alone an orc who worships the god of war, Kampas.
Huang Sha's eyes squinted and tingled, and Alec immediately roared angrily, and the big sword in his hand calmly swung several swords in front of him one after another, blocking the possible sneak attack.
"Hehe" Xia Zuo finally showed a sneer, and his flying body suddenly reversed, his legs clamped between the horse's neck, his dexterous body hanging, and the sharp stone dagger in his hand quickly pierced Alec's ankle in cowhide boots.
At the same time as the blood splashed, Xia Zuo's body leaped out, and he easily stuck the stone dagger into the bantam's neck.
Although the bantam horse was docile, it was seriously injured by a blunt instrument in the neck, and immediately jumped and neighed when it was in pain, and galloped like a madman.
Unable to see in both eyes, and piercing his ankle with a blunt object, Alec had just screamed when he heard a mournful roar from his mount, and a huge force came from under his buttocks, and his body immediately flew out involuntarily.
He fell to the ground so hard that his bones almost fell apart, but Alec hadn't forgotten that there was a dastardly Munk orc beside him.
As soon as he was about to jump from the ground, he heard a whistling wind coming from the front, the muscles under the cloak bulged, and he grabbed the big sword with both hands, and slashed at the place where the sound came from with all his strength.
There was a crisp sound of the "bell", and Alec only felt a light in his hand, and then a hard and cold touch hit his chest with great force.
"Click" A dense crunch sound like fried beans came from the impact.
"Eight broken ribs" was Alec's last consciousness, and he fell into darkness forever without even feeling the pain.
There was a man-sized bar boulder pressing on Alec's already somewhat deformed body, and Xia Zuo, who was panting, was still not at ease, and threw more than a dozen stones of all sizes one after another, until Alec's flesh and blood under the boulder were blurred, and he was almost not human-shaped, so he was completely relieved.
"Damn, I didn't find out I could play so much."
Gasping heavily, Xia Zuo calmed the surging in his heart, in the original world, he was just an ordinary white-collar worker who commuted to and from work on time, although he had also thought about punching the Xishan Tigers and stepping on the dragons in the four seas, but every day was still a plain life, when had he ever encountered such an exciting thing.
I was so nervous when I attacked Barr in the tent before that I forgot about it.
And now is the real taste of the feeling of killing, instead of the legendary fear, nervousness, and disgust, when he did it, Xia Zuo felt that he was calm and scary, and the blood all over his body was boiling with excitement, as if he couldn't wait for a battle.
It's like a natural warrior, and the moment he kills the enemy, he can't say how happy he is.
Although the fight was only a short time, it contained Xia Zuo's deliberate calculations, and he had never intended to fight Alec head-on from the beginning.
With him, an ordinary person who has only fought a few times since he was a child, even if his physical fitness is far beyond that of before, and he fights fairly with the mercenaries walking on the tip of the knife, it is tantamount to sending him to death.
The evening breeze was blowing, and Xia Zuo, who was naked, shivered involuntarily, as for the simple animal skin that was originally around his waist, it had already been cut into rags by Alec at the beginning, wrapped in stones.
Xia Zuo quickly stepped forward, removed the stones from Alec's body, and examined his loot.
"It's disgusting"
The bloody corpse on the ground had long since lost its human form, and Xia Zuo looked disgusted, forgetting that this person was like this because of himself.
The two-handed sword has been smashed by the boulder, but the cowhide light armor is still very complete because it was only smashed by stones, although the cloak is stained with blood, but at least it can keep out the cold, and in the purse full of black oil and wine stains that cannot be seen, there are a few silver coins and copper plates, but fortunately, there is still half a bag of water and a few barley cakes trapped together.
"Really, poor ghost" After the battle, Xia Zuo felt the cold, the cold evening breeze penetrated through his unobstructed crotch, and he shivered with cold, and hurriedly pulled off his clothes and shoes from the corpse and put them on himself.
As for the pants?
God knows if there will be anything wrong with these mercenaries who are messing around in the bar every day, Xia Zuo doesn't want to put the happiness of his lower body into it.
Unceremoniously carrying food, water, and purse into his arms, covered by a wide cloak, Xia Zuo looked no different from an ordinary human boy at this time.
Unintentionally glanced at the broken sword on the ground that was first abandoned by him, Xia Zuo couldn't help but pause slightly, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It looks like I'm going to freeze for a while" Touching the cloak on his body, Xia Zuo muttered a sneer.
The bloody corpse, the heavy smell of blood drifted along the evening breeze, but Xia Zuo did not leave in a hurry, but was busy next to the corpse.
At the same time, a group of mercenaries carefully guarded the camp.
A silver light rushed towards the camp from the darkness, and the faces of the mercenaries with serious and nervous faces finally relaxed slightly.
"Damn, can anyone tell me what's going on and why the signal!"
Silver Light rushed into the camp, revealing Gray's angry and anxious face, he originally thought that the camp was under attack, and hurried back, but the scene he saw was obviously different from what he imagined.
"Captain, that little monkey has run away," Grigor stepped forward cautiously, and the captain's angry face only frightened him, and he said the reason intermittently.
"What!!"
With a thunderous roar, Gray was like a lion who had been robbed of food, his eyes were blazing with rage, this is more than a thousand gold coins, these bastards.
"Bal Old Barr, you damn bastard, get out of here" didn't see the figure he had entrusted with the task, Gray thought that Old Barr was ashamed to see him, and immediately roared angrily, so many people couldn't stand a thin little monkey, he was going to punch this bastard a few times.
"Elder Barr is dead," Grigor whispered, bowing his head like a mosquito, "it was the little monkey who did it."
"What?" Gray said in astonishment, Gray barely believed his ears, looking around at the lowered heads, the angry look on his face gradually subsided, "Where are the people now?"
Ashamed, Grigor lowered his head and pointed to the tent.
Gray strode forward and opened the tent door, and watched the tent being lavishly cleaned with water by a group of mercenaries, neatly dressed, and lying quietly in the tent like a sleeping old Barr.
"Damn old bastard, this life is only as clean as today" The tiger's eyes lit slightly, Gray didn't walk in, muttered a laugh and cursed, and turned his head back in stride.
"Grigor, that monkey is running in that direction, I'm going to skin him with my own hands!" he slaughtered the beast with his own hands, even if it was worth a thousand gold coins, and buried it for his old fellow.
The calm eyes, the words, and the anger contained in the calm made Grigor shudder, and subconsciously pointed in the direction of Xia Zuo's escape.
"Give me a good look at the rest of the beasts" left a cold sentence, and a silver light appeared on Gray's body again, turning into a streamer of light, and quickly disappeared into the night.
