Chapter 15: Nightfall

The Western Regions are located on the edge of the desert. All human settlements are built on the basis of water. Towns, villages, and caravans of all kinds depend on large and small water sources.

Towns naturally occupy the largest source of water. There is an underground river that does not dry up all year round. Water is abundant and the city can survive for a long time. And around this town, there is actually an excellent piece of land, which has been preemptively occupied.

These are the same hunters who have appeared before. Lu Xiao had seen that group of people many times. They are not only hunters, they also raise livestock in the mountains. From time to time, they will carry fattened pigs or sheep down the mountain to sell.

Raising livestock consumes a huge amount of water. Lu Xiao had already investigated, and in those guys' villages, there was abundant water and fertile water and grass around them. Although the place is not large, it is not a problem to feed hundreds of people and dozens of horses.

It's just that now the place has been taken over by the hunters. Using bamboo poles and sticks, they built a wall. And set countless traps around.

These guys have average sword skills, but many of them are proficient in bows and arrows. And they are all from Orion, and they are good at tracking traps. The idle horse bandits did not want to provoke them. In fact, these guys kill people and set fires, and they are not much different from horse bandits.

"I know that place. Not very active, are you sure? ”

"Not at all. But it doesn't matter, we're not the same now. We've doubled in number, and there are more people who want to join you, the boss. If you don't make good use of this, wouldn't it be a waste of the boss's name! ”

Feilong understood what Lu Xiao meant. Let the group of guys who rush to take refuge take the lead. Kill the group of hunters with their numbers. Sometimes Wyverns wonder who the hell is the horse bandit. This Lu boy has only been a few years, and his mind has become even more horse bandit than a horse bandit.

"Just do as you say. But this can't be done too obviously. You know what I mean? ”

Wyvern certainly has no objection to using other people's lives for their own benefit. But now he is in the prime of his life. He kind of enjoyed the feeling of being adored. So, I don't want to lose this reputation so quickly.

"Of course, I do."

A few days later, sixty or seventy people had gathered in Wyvern's camp. Lu Xiao stood in front of everyone and lectured.

"In this land, everyone who comes out to mix. All you need is the work in your hands. Only those who are fast enough and ruthless enough are qualified to eat meat. If you can't do it, you can only eat.

You're all-eating guys. But now, I'm giving you a chance. There's a big deal here, and it takes manpower. What is the business, you all know it psychologically. It's done, and there's meat to eat. But there are three long and two short in the middle, so I blame myself for not being able to work hard.

I believe that those who came here today all want to eat meat. Whoever doesn't want to eat can go now. ”

There was a sparse chatter in the crowd, and then a dozen or so people left the crowd. Lu Xiao glanced to the side without a trace, and Lao Diao received the signal and turned to leave.

Fifty-six men remained, plus the original forty. Ninety-six people in total. In this area, this is already an unprecedented large horse bandit group.

"How many people do you estimate there are in that group of hunters?"

"The exact numbers are not known. But I've observed the people they come and go to town. Three groups of people rotate, a dozen or so people at a time, if you look at it this way. There were at least thirty young men. I don't know how many are in the stockade.

If you count more, even if they have fifty. We also have enough manpower. They are difficult to entangle in traps, bows and arrows. We raided at night, took human life pads, and rushed in. No matter how many people there are, they are not pigs to be slaughtered. ”

"Okay, just do as you say. Start preparing and start tonight. ”

This kind of thing, people talk a lot, once they get together. You have to do it right away. After all, they are all a group of swordsmen and horse bandits who have no trust. What credibility do you expect from them. The ones that left before have been done by Lao Diao. In order to prevent information leakage.

Orion's stockade is not far from the town. It only takes about three or four hours on foot. In the evening, Feilong and Lu Xiao had already led the team and approached Orion's walled city.

"Can't get any closer. The front is full of traps. Wait until it's dark before you do it. ”

................

On the other side, the Blade. Ding'an's several careful thoughts were interrupted by Lu Xiao. The mood became more and more irritable. But he couldn't beat Lu Xiao, so he could only hold it back in his mind.

Maybe it's because I didn't know my background since I was a child. Ding'an has a general relationship with the other brothers of Lian Feng. That is, the iron-headed relationship is not bad.

The iron head noticed that something was wrong with Ding'an. This kid is not social in the first place, these days. Every day after work, I disappear. He occasionally saw that Ding'an was secretly practicing knife techniques.

The key is that Ding'an is not practicing the self-defense kung fu taught by the master. It's a more ruthless other knife technique. Seeing this scene, the iron head remembered something.

That day, Ding'an found the old servant of the Lianfeng. I didn't know what to say to the other party alone. I only know that after that day, Ding'an became even more withdrawn. Ling'er seems to know a little bit about this matter.

Tietou wanted to tell his master about this. But after thinking about it, I decided to figure it out first.

"Ling'er, what did Ding'an tell you that day? From that day on, it was as if he had changed as a different person. Ding'an found Ling'er and asked. Unexpectedly, a well-spoken Ling'er didn't dare to mention it.

"Don't ask, I don't know anything. You go away!! ”

Only then did the iron head realize that something was wrong. He turned around and wanted to tell the master. When he turned around, he found Ding'an standing behind him.

"You don't have to ask, I'll leave tomorrow."

Ding'an crossed his body and went to his room without looking back.

...................

At ten o'clock in the evening, hundreds of people began to approach Orion's camp from all directions. They carefully probed their way with branches to avoid being injured by wolf traps all over the ground. But even so, there are still many horse bandits, who are injured by various hidden mechanisms. The screams soon alarmed the hunters.

What was originally a surprise attack turned into a strong attack in an instant.

Not far away, Lu Xiao stood behind, looking at the chaotic battle in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect these horse bandits to play any cooperation, but he didn't even touch the wall of the stockade, and he was discovered, which still made him feel a pain in the face.

But at the end of the day, it's not a big deal. It's just a dead man. Whether it is the hunters in the stockade or these attacking horse bandits, which side of death is what Lu Xiao wants to see.
