Chapter 358: Flies

The weather was clear and cloudless, and the smoke of a small village on the edge of the jurisdiction of the Holy Capital was still gloomy as the sun turned to the farmland, showing no signs of improving because of the weather.

Just yesterday, nearly ten more people were arrested in the village, that is the only strong man in the village, and all of them are physically disabled, and now the people who work in the fields are old men, watching the crops slowly grow, but the untended fields are also overgrown with weeds, and the crops are frantically competing for nutrients in the soil, if they are not pulled out as soon as possible, I am afraid that the harvest of this crop will still not be good.

The hunchbacked old man took a hoe into the farmland, and now the wild beasts are rampant outside the village, and these old people have no ability to fight against the beasts at all, so they can only take advantage of this gap in the day to work, and for the weeds on the edge of the farmland, they are not afraid to step forward, there has been a tragedy where the people in the village were suddenly rushed out by the wild beasts, and then they were bitten alive and dragged away, so the big guys gathered together tacitly, although they also knew that if the beasts really came, most of them still had to explain here, but there were many people, and the beasts would not easily approach。

After all, it was an old man, and he had to rest after a while, so everyone casually found an open space to sit down, rubbing their old and rusty limbs, followed by a sigh, but soon someone noticed that the surroundings seemed to be a little too quiet, and an old man finally couldn't help but say: "I said a few old guys, have you noticed that today is particularly quiet, where have all the usual beasts gone, why didn't any of them call today?"

Several other people naturally noticed this anomaly, but they nodded slightly and didn't dare to say anything more, they had rich experience, and knew that this situation was not necessarily a good thing, it may be that a more deterrent beast or even a demonic beast came, and regarded this place as their own territory, only so that other slightly weaker beasts would leave in disgrace, if this is really the case, I am afraid that even in the village in the future, it may not be safe.

When everyone sighed, they suddenly heard a deafening roar, several people were startled by this sudden sound, when everyone determined the direction, but found that the sound became a little weird, only to see a wild wolf suddenly burst out of the messy bushes, the wolf's whole body was shiny, obviously it was well feathered, but it had several feathered arrows stuck in its body, the wild wolf jumped high, but fell heavily on the ground, and then the body involuntarily retreated, as if something was pulling it again, if it was usually the wild wolf should turn back and bite back, but this situation did not appear at allThe wolf's paws scraped the soft soil in front of him fiercely, and crawled forward as hard as he could, but unfortunately it was still dragged into the grass after all, and then there was no sound with a whimper.

From the time everyone got up to seize the road, to the time they stopped and found something unusual, and then everything returned to peace, the process was only a few breaths, and by the time they reflected, there was nothing but the pit that had been dug out by the wild wolf and the blood on the ground.

At this time, the low sound of horses' hooves came from far to near, several old men hurriedly bowed their heads to hoe the grass, and as far away from the avenue as possible, these are the patrols under the jurisdiction of the Holy Capital, arrogant and domineering, if the road is too close, I am afraid that they will eat a few horse whips, this is also for the grass on the ground to grow very high but no one to deal with the reason, this kind of squad must have two patrols every day, each squad should have thirty or forty people, all of them are all cavalry, very fast, generally go through the motions, basically there will be no major changes, but in case someone is happy, I am afraid that the villages on both sides of the road will suffer。

It seems to be affected by today's weather, these cavalry come and go quickly, and soon after a burst of smoke and dust, these old men can only see their backs, and the first wave of fear is over, but an old man with good eyesight was a little surprised to find that there was a cavalry behind the team who didn't know what was going on, and actually planted it straight up, planted at this speed, even if it was not dead, it would be disabled, how could it be planted all the way flat?

This question had not yet been answered, and the faint screams made the old man feel startled again, and when he stared, he did not know where the feathered arrows came from, and shot most of these cavalrymen off their horses.

"Someone is sneaking up!" When this idea came up, the old man hurriedly called the old guys around him, but at this time, the situation changed again.

Out of nowhere, a group of people in strange costumes rushed into the cavalry, and then a massacre began in front of the eyes of these old men and quickly ended. The bodies were buried on the spot, the horses were taken away by the men, and then everything was as calm as the wounded wolves that had just appeared.

"Someone attacked the patrol!" another old man said in a low voice, the old people around him nodded silently, but no one said anything, what is the identity of those people in strange costumes, cutting cavalry is as easy as chopping wood, and the huge size should be orcs, right?

It's just that they soon realized that as witnesses, I'm afraid the end will not be too good, the supreme commander of this patrol is a violent temper, and the means are cruel, in order to seize a woman, he dares to burn the entire village, and the lives on his hands are even more innumerable, and the village is nearby, I am afraid that the final victims of this attack are still these defenseless people, everyone discussed, hurried back home, let the few people in the village take advantage of this time to hurry up and pack their luggage, and go to the mountains to take refuge first, otherwise I am afraid that the old, weak, sick and disabled in this village will not escape death!

Hundreds of cavalry found the battlefield along the patrol route, and they found the traces of the horses' hooves, but soon found that the unknown enemy who had been scattered again and again cleared all the traces of the follow-up, and the search party without clues could only return to the barracks of the garrison with this news, there was a bandit den nearby, if I guessed correctly, I am afraid that it was the rebellious people who fell into the grass to do it.

When the news was reported, of course, the generals of this station were indispensable to send an evil fire, this is not the first patrol to be attacked, to be exact, this should be the eleventh, and the ending is exactly the same as the previous ten patrols, but the process is different, most of the previous patrols are mainly infantry, and they just complete a patrol task in half a day, but I don't know when, the patrol began to be harassed, like flies, nothing more than some hidden arrows, and generally one or two chaotic people, but these people fled quickly, and they were taken by surprise so they basically couldn't be caught。

What is strange is that the soldier who was hit by the arrow could not escape death even if he was slightly injured, the opponent's feather arrow was coated with poison, and it was extremely ruthless, as long as the skin was broken and the blood was seen, only by cutting off this part could he save his life, but even so, the local garrison did not care too much, but only matched the infantry patrol with three or two cavalry, if anyone dared to release a dark arrow, then use cavalry to chase.

It did work a lot at first, and some of the cavalry even came close to catching the despicable rebels, but after less than ten days of stopping, the whole patrol began to suffer casualties.

For a whole month, from the beginning of the small fight, nearly 200 soldiers have been killed, and more than 100 have lost their combat effectiveness, and today is the most serious one, the total annihilation of the cavalry squad shows that the combat effectiveness of the other party is not like a small fly at all, but a beast that has been lurking for a long time, when the second all-cavalry patrol was completely wiped out, this general finally realized that his current situation is not good.

In order to confirm that he was not surrounded, the general sent at least half of his cavalry: a rescue team of 300 people, but he never dreamed that it was this move that completely cut off his back road.

In a month's time, the garrison here had lost more than 300 combat strength, and a cavalry team of 300 people had been withdrawn, and there were only less than 800 people left in the garrison camp.

After a day and a night of worry, when the sun set, the troops asking for help were finally found by the sentries on the watchtower, but when they went, there were 300 people, but when they came back, there were less than 100 people left, and they were all crumbling from a distance!

"Open the camp gate quickly!" The leader of the team raised the iron plate in his hand weakly, which was a sign of his peers, and the soldiers at the camp gate hurriedly opened the camp gate, allowing these exhausted cavalrymen who could only lie on their horses into the camp.

At this point, the situation suddenly changed!

The cavalrymen, who were still lifeless, suddenly took out their swords and cut down all the soldiers at the camp gate, and then rode their horses and drove straight into the camp's tent!

At the same time, a large number of figures suddenly burst out of the wilderness outside the camp, speeding towards the camp, before the people arrived, the feather arrows with flames were already under the hood, and the sentry tower in front of the camp was immediately ignited, and then a little flame rushed into the camp, and the fire was everywhere, and the camp suddenly became chaotic.

When the general rushed out of his tent and tried to stabilize the chaos, a long knife higher than him was waved and handed over by a tall and burly figure, the general just turned to one side, but unexpectedly, the long knife was suddenly slapped on his chest in disguise, and a huge force came from the knife body, and the general immediately vomited blood and flew out, falling heavily to the ground.

Then the figure lifted his foot and stomped heavily on his chest, and the long knife went straight in, and the general opened his mouth to say a word before tilting his head to die.

"Slaves?"
