Chapter Twenty-Six: Ambush

I opened my eyes again and looked at the girl sitting next to me, holding a hot towel. Lu Xiao took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

They are already very familiar with each other's conditions. The girl knows that he has nightmares every night, so she always gets up early and prepares a hot towel for him.

Lu Xiao never said thank you, everything seemed to be taken for granted. Except for the two of them, there has been no conversation so far.

That's right, Lu Xiao has been 'getting along' with the girl for almost three years. But he never actually said a word to the girl. The two just tacitly do their own things every day. The girl prepares hot water, towels for him, and sometimes some meals for him.

Lu Xiao has never asked for anything, and the biggest reason why he came here is to be able to sleep well here. Don't worry about being wiped in the middle of the night.

Wiping his face, Lu Xiao continued to leave the room without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the town became a little oppressive. The situation is now semi-public, and most people already know that two large bandits are going to fight around the town.

A large number of knife hands were employed. Some were hired by the spies on the skeleton's side, and some were co-opted by the Wyvern. Others were hired by the wealthy families in the town, as well as restaurants and other shops, to protect their property.

In fact, they are not preventing large-scale horse bandits. Because they know very well that this person is simply not capable of dealing with large-scale horse bandits. They were just preventing a mass riot in the town. To put it bluntly, they are guarding against their own people.

The skeleton's manpower, after another period of frantic expansion, had reached more than four hundred. This is an unprecedented amount in this generation. Such a large number of horse bandits. The daily consumption is also staggering. For this reason, the skeleton has put all the inventory at the bottom of the pressure box into it.

In order not to starve the brethren, a mutiny was caused. He decided to act immediately and approach the town while hunting.

The skeleton thought clearly. These people are huge in number. But when fighting with the Wyvern, a batch will definitely be consumed. When the time comes, the town will still be able to raise.

As everyone knows, the Wyvern thinks the same way. These days, Wyvern has also temporarily recruited a large number of subordinates. The number of people reached about 150. This is also the limit of what the cottage can offer.

For this reason, Wyvern also decided to send people out hunting. Get enough supplies.

Lu Xiao knew very well in his heart that this war of horse bandits would affect the surrounding villages no matter what. Even if he had already given way to and was bringing people to inform the villages in advance. But it didn't work much, because they simply didn't have anywhere else to go.

In the cottage hall, Lu Xiao and Feilong stood in front of a simple sand table.

"The skeleton's nest is in this generation. He set out from the lair and came to either side of us. Only two roads have enough water.

One goes to Huangshitun, where there is an underground river that can replenish the water source. The other is to walk eighteen miles of stacks. There are wells to replenish water.

However, there is a problem with this, and that is that there are too many skeletons. Whether it is a well or an underground river, it cannot bear more than 400 people, plus hundreds of animals. ”

"Do you think he's going to divide his troops?"

"That's right, it's said that the skeletons have now gathered nearly five hundred people. There are too many people, and the consumption along the way is also large. Whether it is Huangshitun or Eighteen Mile Stacks, it is simply not enough for them to consume. So, they can only divide their forces.

At least when the town is within a day's journey, the surrounding materials can support their consumption. So, here's our chance. ”

"Do you want to concentrate your forces and hit one of their teams first?"

"That's right. In any case, there are simply too many skeletons. Fighting hard, we will definitely lose a lot. So, we have to cut their manpower ahead of time. ”

"It's too late now. The distance was too far for even if they set off overnight, it would be impossible to reach Huangshitun or Eighteen Mile Stacks before them. Are you trying to set up an ambush in their path? ”

"That's right, whether it's Huangshitun or Eighteen Mile Stacks, come this way. There is only one route. They had to follow the route where there was water. So, it's easy to find their next place to rest. Nameless Village, as well as Blackstone Village. I'm ready to start in Nameless Village.

It's just the right distance. I took the people to set off immediately, and I could have rushed to the nameless village before them. When the time came, I led the brothers to disguise themselves as villagers and hide in the village. When they enter the village, they let their guard down. Scattered to loot supplies. It doesn't take too many people, give me forty men, and I'm sure I'll be able to kill a team of more than two hundred. ”

Lu Xiao's statement was very reasonable, but Feilong still hesitated. He actually wanted Lu Xiao to stay by his side. Mainly in the village, no one can cure Lu Xiao except himself. He was afraid that Lu Xiao would lead the team alone and there would be problems.

Lu Xiao was not in a hurry, just waited quietly. After a full stick of incense, the dragon finally made up his mind.

"Okay, just do as you say. I'll give you forty people, ten veterans, and thirty novices, no problem. ”

"Yes. I need one horse per person. Two knives per person. Two days of food and water are also needed. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. You set out overnight. If someone on the skeleton's side really walked away from the nameless village. In a word, kill them. ”

An hour later. Lu Xiao led the team to set off, and just after Lu Xiao left. The flying dragon called Lao Diao.

"Lao Diao, you bring two people to follow now."

"Keep up?"

"That's right, you're far behind. But don't show your face. Show me how he does things. Especially if you haven't met anyone else along the way. ”

Lao Diao understood what Feilong meant, but he still couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart. But he didn't dare show it on his face. Instead, he said with a loyal face that he would never let the boss down. Then with two Wyvern henchmen, he followed directly.

And just after Lu Xiao and the others set off overnight. There was also a slight noise in the town. Then, another group of knights left the town at night.

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

Two days later, there was no name.

More than 200 horse bandits swept towards the nameless village. The whole nameless village, in fact, there are only 100 households.

A villager in the distance saw a horse bandit in the distance. Frightened, he threw away his cart and ran to the stockade like crazy.

"The horse bandits are coming, the horse bandits are coming......"

He shouted as he ran. Behind him, the skeleton's bandits had stormed the stockade. With insolent laughter, the horse bandits scattered in search of their prey.
