，

When they heard this, they were all shocked.

Lorraine looked at the rice in the pot that was not yet fully cooked, and scolded with some reluctance in his heart: "These bastards~! ”

Carthus looked up and asked, "Whose team is that, do you see clearly?"

The guard shouted, "I don't know. Dressed like a bunch of bandits. ”

Leo couldn't help but be curious next to him, and said, "Then how do you know that they are our enemies?"

The guard came to the front, grinned at him, and said, "One of them is the leader, who has been shouting at the top of his voice, and has a bounty of three thousand for catching a girl, and a bounty of five hundred for catching a guard, and a bounty of one hundred for catching a child." ”

Leo was furious and scolded loudly: "Those damn bastards, the young master is worth at least five thousand gold coins. ”

At this moment, the group of people was already clamoring and shouting, rounding the hill and appearing in everyone's sight.

Lorraine looked at it, and it was really good, but I saw that none of those people were making a fuss. It's like herding sheep, gathered in a heap. They were dressed in colorful clothes, as if they could use whatever they caught, even women's clothes, and they carried weapons such as large knives and spears in their hands.

Seeing this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, the cold glint in his eyes flashed, and his heart also surged with anger.

This is indeed a gang of bandits, and those clothes should have been stolen by them. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so messy. Even the women's clothes were draped over their bodies, and who but the bandits could be so shameless? And the fate of the original owners of those clothes can be imagined.

Although I knew that the officials and bandits had been a family since ancient times, I didn't expect that someone in the Holy See would degenerate into cooperating with these shameless bandits.

He couldn't help but let out a roar from the depths of his heart, a voice that would make even a lion shudder when he heard it. The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The bandits were stunned for a moment when they saw the crowd here, and then they came to their senses and erupted into a loud cheer.

In the crowd, there was a burly man with a red scarf tied around his head, pointing at the crowd with a large knife in his hand, and shouted, "Brothers, rush quickly." The opportunity to make a fortune has arrived. The reward for the woman is 3,000, and the reward for the man is 500. Even the kid had a hundred gold coins. ”

When the thieves heard this, they immediately let out a cry in unison, and then each raised his sword and spear, and rushed over.

"Your grandmother's~!" Leo was furious, jumped up from the ground, crossed his hands on his hips, and scolded loudly, "You bastards." Blind your dog's eyes, young master, I am worth at least five thousand gold coins, five thousand gold coins. You know what?"

Everyone here saw that the other party was powerful, but their own side had been running wild all night, and people were sleepy, so they glanced at each other, and jumped up from the ground without an order.

Someone overturned the pot, someone led the horse...... Although the incident happened suddenly, they acted in an orderly and orderly manner, which shows how good the usual training is.

Carter turned over and jumped on his horse, and then reached out again, and picked up a thunderous leap from the ground, scolding Leo at the bandits.

At this time, the bandits had rushed to a distance of only a few dozen paces from them, and they could even see their scorched teeth when they shouted wildly. But everyone still had the cold and calm indifference of the iron-blooded elites, and looked at the surrounding terrain unhurriedly.

Lorraine saw a trail winding up the hill not far away. The mountain is steep, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is extremely advantageous.

He hurriedly whistled, pointed there, and then galloped over.

One of the guards shouted repeatedly, "Sir, it's wrong. That's a dead end. You can't go that way. ”

Lorraine glanced back at him and shouted, "Don't worry, we must have run two hundred miles this night." This is the territory of the province of Bahrain. As long as a beacon fire is lit, the army will definitely be able to see it. We'll just hold on until they arrive. “

After he finished speaking, he added in a low voice. If the people heard that, they would be terrified.

Lorraine leaned over his horse, and as he climbed up, he whispered, "Maybe so......"

Everyone also ran all night in a daze, and no one had time to calculate how far they had run, when Lorraine said this. They glanced at each other, and then rode their horses to follow.

Leo's scolding was still left in the wind: "Young master, I'm worth five thousand gold coins, five thousand gold coins......"

Everyone rode their horses to the mountain, and saw that the terrain was indeed extremely dangerous, and there was only this winding mountain path leading to the top of the mountain. On the other side are cliffs. As long as you hold the top of the mountain and stand on the top, you can choke the path up the mountain.

When they saw this, they did not say much, but jumped off their horses. Then under the guidance of the innate fighting instincts of the fighters, work began, building a defense.

Some people carry boulders and store boulders. Some people collected the bows and arrows that were equipped with the standard equipment on the horses, and held their bows on guard. Some collected pebbles from the ground, while others cut off the neighing reins of their horses and made catapults as backup long-range strike fire.

In just a quarter of an hour's work, the top of the hill had been transformed into a stronghold armed to the teeth in their hands.

At this time, although the bandits who were walking were a little slower, they had already chased after them with shouts and screams, stimulated by the bright gold coins.

When they saw the crowd on the top of the mountain, they burst into cheers.

"They can't run. ”

"They have no way to escape. ”

"Brothers, go on. ”

“......“

The thieves' eyes were red when they saw that they were all in front of them. I didn't see the shape clearly, but I knew that there were only twenty people on the other side, and there were more than three hundred people on my side. If you don't work hard, the money won't fall into your own hands.

"Rush, rush...... If you catch someone, you can get gold coins......"

The shout turned into the most ferocious roar in a moment, and it all came together. Like the roar of a raging sea. Their blood-red eyes poured like raging waves towards the twenty-odd people on the top of the mountain. to drown them completely.

The guards stood on the top of the hill, looking at them with a cold and indifferent look like a lion looking at a rabbit that growled at him.

When those bandits rushed to a distance of only a few dozen steps from the top of the mountain, Carter coldly waved his hand down and ordered categorically: "Hit~!"

They picked up the stones on the ground and threw them downward.

Leo was no exception, he picked up the stone and threw it down, and shouted angrily: "Young master, I am very valuable, but I only set a hundred gold coins. These visionless guys, you all go to die~!"

Because of their condescendingness, the stones they chose were themselves heavy. When it fell below, it was already carrying a huge kinetic energy, whirring and hanging in the wind. Immediately there was a terrible casualty of casualties.

"My arm ......"

"Who's going to save me......"

“......”

Screams and wails kept coming. Even the bandits, who were not injured, lay on the ground and hid. lest I be patronized by the stones thrown from the mountain.

The offensive was immediately blocked.

At this time, the angry roar of the big man came from behind: "Rush up for me, there are only twenty of them." There are so many of us, drowning them and drowning them. ”

He paused for a moment, saw that the thieves did not get up, and shouted loudly: "If anyone does not obey the order, he will be killed on the spot~!"

As he spoke, he waved the back of his knife and beat several of the retreating bandits, making them scream.

Hearing the screams behind them, the thieves got up one after another in desperation and climbed up the mountain tremblingly.

A guard with a longbow at the top of the hill heard the man's roar and knew that he was an important leader, and was about to shoot at him. But after looking at it for a while, he put it down again.

The bandit leader, though he called it heroic, cautiously retreated out of range of his bow and arrows.

Seeing this, Lorraine couldn't help but sneer and shouted, "Vera, come here." ”

The little maid was throwing stones with joy. Her strength is great, and she lifts stones and weights. And it was thrown accurately and hard. Every time I smashed it, I would inevitably see someone screaming and rolling down the mountain.

Hearing the cry, she hurried to Lorraine's side, and before she could give the order, she had already taken the musket from the horse next to her and handed it into Lorraine's hands.

Although he can easily get a musket, the most important thing to do as a qualified nobleman is to learn to play a big card with a fork. Even if it is a guillotine, it is necessary to put a score enough.

Lorraine took the gun in his hand, then smiled softly, and after filling the gun with gunpowder, he took out an arrow-shaped bullet from his pocket, wrapped it in deerskin, and gently placed it in the chamber.

Seeing this, Carter glanced down the mountain, then shook his head again and again, and said, "Sir, although I don't know if your thing really works. But at such a distance, even a magician may not be able to hit. ”

Lorraine raised the long musket and said with a calm face, "You just see." ”

Leo had been salivating over those muskets for a long time, and when he saw the situation here, he didn't care about throwing stones. Peaky ran over, biting his fingers, curiously watching.

Lorraine raised his musket and, after a moment's cursory, gently pulled the trigger.

There was a loud bang, and a thick white smoke came out of the muzzle.
