The two sergeants merged together and continued to advance, but when they reached the woods where the battle took place the day before, there was still not a single horse in sight. The forest was dark and filled with hazy water vapor, and faintly a faint light seemed to be visible.

"In my opinion, there should be ambushes in this forest." "We'd better not go in. ”

The butcher agreed, "Why don't you shoot a round of arrows?" ”

"Great idea!" Tekochen immediately ordered 500 shooters to be brought in and fired three volleys in front of the formation.

"Ahh I've been shot! ”

There was a terrible scream in the forest!

"Run, we've been discovered!"

There was more commotion in the woods, and the firelight jumped, as if someone was running away in a panic.

Tekochen and the butcher laughed three times, "These people are so stupid to set up an ambush in such an obvious place, chase after them, we will kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

……

At the same time, Karl's army was slowly advancing.

They fought back step by step from the retreat path, but there was not a single soldier to be seen. At a strange time, a sentry suddenly noticed: "There seems to be a figure in front!" ”

Carl and Alan looked from afar, and there seemed to be people hiding on both sides of the mountain road in the night.

"Interesting, what else do they want to play?" The soul flame on Amber's body ignited, "Eat me a thunderbolt!" With a bang, a thunderbolt slashed in an instant, shattering the rocks.

Such an earth-shattering sound, but the other hiding figures did not move.

"It's kind of weird." Alan and a few soldiers cautiously stepped forward to check, only to find a few scarecrows dragged out of the grass.

was inexplicably teased, and Amber was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again.

Carl looked at the scarecrows and muttered, "Have they already escaped?" ”

Alan was puzzled: "If you run away, why set up these straw men?" ”

"Maybe it's trying to scare us and stop us from chasing them." Karl snapped his fingers, "That's right, these lowly people must be afraid of our strength, so they took it and fled." ”

Amber said in a breath, "Can't let these bastards escape, chase after them, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Karl laughed, "Okay, as the concubine said, kill them without a piece of armor." Pass me the order, give me the chase! ”

……

Trköchen and the butcher walked around the forest several times, and the flickering light of the fire always seemed to be in front of them, but they were always a few steps behind.

"Chase!" "They've slowed down, they must have no strength to escape!" ”

The soldiers saw that the fire in front of them did seem to have stopped, and their morale rose suddenly, and the shouters were about to go up and arrest them.

From the thick fog came a desperate cry: "We can't run, let's fight with them, shoot arrows!" As soon as he finished speaking, several arrows flew into the forest. The soldiers who ran in front did not expect this hand, and several people were shot and killed.

The butcher was furious when he saw this, "If you dare to resist when you are dying, the marksmen will come to the front and shoot me three more rounds!" ”

The arrows rained down. Unexpectedly, this round of offensive was not over yet, and another round of random arrows was shot back from the opposite side, and it seemed to be more and denser than the bows and arrows of the butcher and Tekoxing!

Terkoxing was shocked and ordered the shield guards to cover in front, and the whole army carried the rain of arrows on the opposite side and forcibly advanced.

The bows and arrows of both sides became more and more urgent and dense, and the formations of Tekochen and the butcher suffered heavy casualties. Just as they were wondering why there was such a powerful firepower from an ambush that was fleeing, a dazzling ball of lightning swept through the forest.

Rumble!

The ball of lightning struck a group of soldiers, instantly scorching them on the outside and on the inside.

"Little thief in the Red Pavilion, go die!" A clear female voice came from the thick fog, followed by another thunderbolt!

The voice......

Tekochen and the butcher looked at each other.

How does it seem to be Amber?

.

That's right, it's Amber on the other side.

Karl was directing the archery, and Alan and his soldiers were approaching with arrows, and Amber recited a spell to hit him. Hearing that the opposite side was beaten and cried for his father and mother, calling for his brother and brother, Carl smiled and said: "Just a thief in the Red Pavilion, where do you need my concubine to help." ”

Amber raised his chin haughtily, "Hurry up and clear these ambushed archers, we still have serious business to do." ”

"Friendly army, friendly army! Stop shooting, stop shooting! An urgent cry came from the woods opposite, "Is it Prince Karl?" ”

"...... that sound?" Karl hurriedly ordered to stop firing arrows.

The woods were filled with disgraced Tekoxing and butchers, as well as commandos with heavy casualties. At this moment, a thought popped up in everyone's minds: "I've been tricked." ”

Just as several people were staring at each other, several explosives dragging fuses suddenly flew into the air. Countless torches suddenly appeared in the surrounding forests, and it was impossible to see how many people came in the darkness, only that the explosives roared and the smoke was filled, and the Red Pavilion troops in the mountains and fields shouted in unison: "Put down your arms, disarm and surrender!" ”

Carl and the others hurriedly gathered the soldiers to escort them, and the generals held their knives in their hands, and the soldiers' spears were outward, like a ball of thorns.

The army outside surrounded but did not attack, but there was a strange scream between the canopies overhead. Immediately afterward, the soldiers of the generals screamed and fell to the ground and writhed.

"What's going on?" Alan angrily drew his sword and said, "What are you pretending to be crazy? ”

As he spoke, he only felt a tingling pain in his neck, his body was out of control, and his limbs twitched and he lay on the ground foaming at the mouth, laughing wildly.

Karl exclaimed, "What kind of sorcery is this! As he spoke, Amber laughed wildly behind him, dancing like a madman, unable to stop.

"Your Highness, retreat quickly!" Tekochen finally said his line that worked, and the butcher hurriedly added next to him: "Our palace." ”

The guards hurriedly evacuated with Carl and others, the drums in the forest shook the ground, and the killing was noisy, and the two canine generals with painted halberds led the two military horses from the two wings to rush towards the car that Carl fled to.

"Stop them." The butcher and Tekoxing urged the chocobos, and the two of them met the Damm siblings who were chasing after them.

Four chocobos besieged each other, and four weapons slashed back and forth. The four of them fought for more than a dozen rounds without winning or losing, and Tekoxing and the butcher wondered a little in their hearts: they were also from a noble background, and they trained knight martial arts since childhood, how could they not beat two subhumans?

The Damm siblings are well aware of their strength, but they are only temporarily tied with them with a sharp spirit, and if they continue to fight, they will definitely show their flaws. The two looked at each other tacitly, and at the same time made a false move, turned around and left.

The butcher wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Tekoxing: "These people are acting strangely, coming and going like the wind, maybe they will spread a big net and prepare to arrest us, so let's withdraw first." ”

.

"Why don't these two cowards chase after them?" Lydia watched as Tekochen and the butcher gathered the remnants of the army and retreated, feeling a little annoyed. But seeing that the army was in good order when the two retreated, she didn't dare to go up to chase and kill, so she could only lead the ambushed soldiers back in a huff.

During this ambush, the "Hunter Special Combat Team" led by Finks not only discovered the two commandos in time, but also successfully lured them into the woods to kill Carl in the woods, which was really outstanding.

And the special combat team also experimented with a completely new weapon: the Laughing Needle.

This weapon is an improved version of the Korsun people's blow arrows, powered by spring-compressed air, so it is silent but very accurate, and it is a practical weapon that is not lethal.

Later, this new invention was widely deployed in the ranks of Cruise and other sheriffs, and was specially used to deal with violent crime within the city, but of course this is a story for later.

"Don't laugh, I'm so good, should there be a special reward?" Finks leaned in front of him without smiling and looked at him expectantly.

Such a big living person stood in front of him, and if he didn't smile, he couldn't say that he couldn't see her, and besides, her performance really deserved encouragement. The hand that didn't smile silently reached into the shadow, and after a while, a horse's leg was pulled out of it.

Lydia was stunned: "Do you have a horse with you?" ”

"Got the wrong one." Buxiao stuffed the horse's hoof back and pulled out another book. He glanced at Finks and decided that it wasn't a book reader, so he threw it back into the shadows.

Eventually, Buxiao pulled out a pair of wide cowhide boots from the shadow, along with two delicate kicking spurs on his heels.

Finks screamed excitedly with his boots in his arms, and rejoiced off. And Lydia was still stuck on the shock of the horse's legs.

She asked cautiously, "Look how many times you've used that soul technique, in your shadow...... Is it a huge storage space? ”

I didn't smile and groaned for a long time, "Not exactly...... But it can be understood that ......"

"May I ask how big?" Lydia asked hesitantly, "If even animals can fit it, will there be a lawn or something......

In her mind, she had already begun to imagine that shadow might be a different dimensional world with sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.

"That's not an animal." Without laughing, he dragged the horse's leg out of the shadow, and it was only then that Lydia saw the thing's appearance.

It was four replica horse legs, mounted on a wooden box linked by gears. One can ride on it, pedal with one's foot, and let it move forward.

Looking at such a magical object, Lydia was shocked: "Why invent such a strange thing, if the power source is still pedals, wouldn't it be better for you to make a 'tricycle' or a 'bicycle'?" ”

There have been people in this world who have "invented" tricycles and bicycles for a long time, but because the rubber manufacturing process is too backward, they have not been able to make pneumatic tires. Both of these things eventually became props for circus performances.

Buxiao pointed to the dirty road outside, "This is used to forge footprints." ”

"Huh?" Lydia didn't expect such a usage, and before she could think of how to complain, she saw Buxiao and took out a chocobo leg from the shadow.

Then came the alpaca's legs......

And human legs......

Yes, human legs, a total of five groups, the first two and the last three are arranged side by side.

Lydia's mood at the moment can no longer be described as shocked: "If you want to imitate the footprints of animals, you can still understand, what are this human legs for, aren't you a human yourself?" ”

Buxiao explained seriously: "It can falsify the footprints of large troops. ”

Ha?

Lydia looked at this strange thing, and it was clear that her whole body was full of grooves, but she suddenly realized that it was amazingly useful!

"I've got another great idea!" Lydia said excitedly.

Bu smiled and calmly gave up the map, "Tell me about it." ”
