Chapter 84: Choose One of the Three [Thank You Alliance Leader for Rewarding]
Xu Siling understands very well that most of these mountain and forest robbers are not professional robbers, but more of a choice made to seek survival, and it is not easy to live in the environment of the Black Death.
But even so, Xu Siling did not feel soft sympathy for these people in his heart.
The bandit camp in the mountains and forests was full of darkness and danger, and when Xu Siling gradually approached this camp, he could feel a depressing aura.
Around the camp, there will be dense trees and bushes to block the entry of animals and beasts, making the whole camp shrouded in darkness.
The camp consisted of several rudimentary tents, built on grass and stones, the canvas of which was covered with cracks and mottled stains showing signs of dampness, revealing the hard-working and lawless nature of the robbers.
There was a fire in the center of the camp with a roaring flame.
The firelight illuminates everything around it, casting distorted shadows.
The three robbers surrounded the fire, they were wearing shabby leather clothes, their bodies were covered with all kinds of swords and weapons, and the equipment on their bodies was even inferior to the few robbers who had attacked Xu Siling's house at night.
Their eyes were fierce but somewhat ungodly.
Xu Siling looked sideways around, and there were still three people lying faintly under several tents.
After scrutinizing to make sure that there were no more than six robbers in the camp, he began to creep his way to the back of one of the tents
Three robbers gathered around a fire with pots stewed with wild vegetables and unknown meat, which did not look good.
One of the robbers had a long, messy beard, and he wiped the corners of his mouth with his own.
He sighed lightly and casually accosted his partner.
"Now there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on this main road, no one is coming, and our food will not last long."
"Those who fled knew that there were many robbers on the main roads, and many would rather take the small roads in the mountains and forests than the big roads."
"Not to mention these people who have fled, they don't have much of value on them."
Another robber, wiping a dagger, earnestly proposed, "I think we need to change it." ”
The bearded robber snorted, "Change? Is that what you proposed the day before yesterday to merge with another gang of robbers? That's a good idea. ”
"How not? Anyway, a few of us can't survive, so it's better to join someone else. Their living conditions are much better than ours, especially on their roads, where there are more pedestrians than we do. ”
"Then you don't have to blame for this kind of thing!"
The bearded robber scolded: "We plunder and plunder, but we do not harm people's lives." It's the last time you saw a woman, in front of someone's husband, you forcibly dragged someone to sleep with you, and let your husband watch from the sidelines, what kind of urine are you! Thinking about the results of the last raid, they were all desperate to survive, so that we had to kill and run away. Well, now everyone knows that the robbers of our road will kill people, who has the courage to go here. ”
The robber who was blamed was thick-skinned and didn't make any waves, and chuckled: "It's all men, there are always some physiological needs, I don't believe you don't want to engage women." ”
"That can't kill people!"
"I'm not harmful, I just want to solve some physiological needs, she is not willing to satisfy me, and she has to do something to me, what can I do."
The bearded man scolded and was not ready to pay attention to this bastard anymore.
And the robber, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke.
"The bandits you were talking about, I remember they were planning to gather men and attack a manor."
"Yes, that's why I proposed that we merge the past, and when the time comes to attack the manor, we can also get a little soup to drink!"
"I don't think it's right, we're already glad to loot on the roads, if we attack the manor. The lords of Raya Town will not let us go. ”
"That's also later, and the shrunken turtle in Raya Town can still know that the manor was attacked by me?"
"Don't forget, lately the knights of Raya Town have been patrolling the area on a mission, if it catches his attention."
"You're just cowardly! Hmph, I've inquired a long time ago, that knight is specially carrying out the orders of the nobles of Raya Town, hunting and killing people in Tamu Fort everywhere, what does it have to do with our robbers? And he's alone, plus two apprentices, afraid of him for anything. He's going to show up, enough of us beating him! ”
The more the robber talked, the more he became more and more energetic, and he began to fantasize about how the men of them had cooperated to kill the knight.
The bearded robber and another robber with a slightly declining temperament glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.
It seems that this proposal will not be implemented this time.
If he is not joking, he will have to obey their orders when the time comes, especially the attack on the manor is too eye-catching, it really angers the nobles of Raya Town, and he is really looking for death.
They fell into the grass and became cowards, just to survive, not to seek death.
Just as the bearded robber was about to say something, a glimpse suddenly disappeared behind the tent, and he blinked his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
Even if a gust of wind blows through the mountains and forests, there will be a sound.
He didn't think he heard anything unusual, only the crackling of the fire.
"What's wrong with you?"
"No, I just saw a shadow."
"You just haven't rested, or you're hungry and faint, I'll share your share of food later."
As soon as the words fell, I saw a dagger, under the light of the fire, wrapped in the sound of the wind, and nailed to the neck of the robber who had been pressing and chattering.
With so much strength that he knocked the robber down directly, he snorted a few times, lay on the ground and looked at the dagger around his neck, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.
"There are enemies!"
The bearded robber stood up and shouted, alerting his tent mates, who and the other bandit had drawn their weapons and stood up, not having time to check on the condition of their buddies who had been knocked down by the dagger.
"Behind you!"
However, the reminder was still too late.
The bearded bandit watched, and his companion who was still concerned about him in front of him, and a dark shadow appeared behind him.
The black shadow raised his sword, and the blade stood out in the light of the fire.
Without waiting for his partner to turn back, the cold light fell.
With the sound of popping into the flesh, the entire head was cut off.
The head flew into the fire and was roasting the meat in the jar.
The robber's head still had a faint expression of decadence on its face, and it didn't even have time to show a panicked look.
The body that had lost his head was weak and collapsed.
Without the cover of his companions, the bearded bandit finally saw the appearance of the enemy in front of him.
With neat black hair, indifferent brown eyes under bangs, wearing leather armor, holding a long sword in one hand, and a lot of equipment wrapped around his waist, the other party was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
But he immediately thought of someone!
They had already gotten the news that the knights of Raya Town would always be wearing masks when they appeared in front of anyone.
Could it be that this man is the knight of Raya Town?!
The bearded robber was short of breath, he had never felt so nervous, seeing that Xu Siling did not attack him further, he looked left and right, and the robber who was the first to be knocked down by the dagger had not moved, and it seemed that he was dead.
As for the headless partner, let alone one.
But the partners in the tent didn't even wake up when they heard such a loud noise
"Your tent friends are all dead, don't wait for them."
The bearded bandit held the weapon in his hand, but his whole body was trembling, watching Xu Siling's long sword drop blood.
"You're a knight of Raya Town."
"I am."
"Spare me!"
As soon as the words fell, the bearded robber suddenly cried bitterly, threw away his weapon with both hands, snapped, and knelt down in front of Xu Siling without hesitation.
"Please, let me go, I'm also a citizen of Raya Town, it's just that the disease is spreading, everyone is fleeing, I can't help it"
Xu Siling motioned for him to shut up and took out a simple map from his arms.
"I heard you talk about another group of robbers with the intention of attacking the manor? Where is their camp, how many people there are, tell me. ”
"Can I spare my life if I confess?"
However, the bearded man looked up and looked at Xu Siling's indifferent brown eyes, and immediately knew that he had no qualifications to talk about the conditions.
He swallowed his saliva, looked at the map that Xu Siling showed him, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, and after seeing it clearly with the help of the firelight, his fingers trembled and pointed to a place.
"Right here, not far from us, there are eleven of them, but they've been recruiting other partners to merge recently, so I don't know how many there are now."
After Xu Siling recognized the purpose, he drew a dot on the map from the charcoal on the edge of the fire.
The bearded robber hurriedly clasped his hands together and put them in front of him, begging Xu Siling for mercy.
Xu Siling put the map away, looked at the robber kneeling in front of him, and rubbed his eyebrows.
"To be honest, usually when I see someone kneeling in front of me, I have a bit of an occupational disease."
"Occupational disease?" The bearded robber didn't understand, and he raised his eyes weakly.
Xu Siling raised his long sword, his eyes were indifferent, without a trace of waves, like a robber kneeling in front of him, just a piglet to be slaughtered.
"Tell you a secret, the people who fell on their knees before me, they all died without exception."
The sound of the wind.
The trees in the mountains and forests swayed, and the leaves rattled.
The head fell to the ground.
And the head in the pot is also half cooked.
Xu Siling didn't loot in the camp, and while it was still early, he was going to the next bandit camp.
The camp that had just been pointed out was a bit outnumbered, and they had plans to attack the surrounding manors, so Xu Siling had to deal with them first.
Of course, this is definitely not because there are many people on the other side, he can cut off a few more heads, so he prioritizes the target on them.
He only cut off two heads in this bandit camp, and the three people in the tent were all killed by him stealthily cutting their throats, so the skill proficiency gained was not high.
But in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and does not let the robbers escape, it is not a good thing to insist on pursuing beheading.
Pack up your things, take the dagger out of the throat of one of the beep-loving bandits, wipe it clean, and head for the next target camp.
As he was about to leave, he found that the robber who had been killed by his dagger had a bow and arrow on his back, apparently used for poaching in the mountains and forests.
He thought about it and took his bow and arrows with him before leaving.
After leaving, the camp seemed quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Only the fire was still burning, and the heads on the shelves were boiling in the pot.
Gradually ripe from half-cooked.
In the dark night, a faint moonlight sprinkled.
In this world, the sun and the shadow are half and the other.
Some people crave sunshine, and of course some people crave shadows.
Some are born in the sun, but die in the shadows.
Some people experience shadows, but go to the sun.
Late at night, Hebron Tavern.
Wally lay asleep on the bed, her belly covered with animal fur.
Luo Shui didn't fall asleep, sitting alone at the window of the room, gesturing with a dagger.
He looks heartless on the surface, but his heart is not shallow.
The children from the executioner's family, as long as their brains are normal, there are few stupid ones.
Xu Siling went out late at night, he must have to perform some other tasks, without Xu Siling to protect them, they were carrying so many belongings.
It's not unusual for someone to have a crooked mind to attack their two children.
So Luo Shui decided to keep vigil and see when Xu Siling would come back by the way.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps going upstairs, accompanied by the shaking of the scabbard of the weapon.
Luo Shui's heart couldn't help but tighten, holding the dagger through the small crack in the window, looking outside.
"You didn't sleep."
"Lord Siling!"
Xu Siling returned to the tavern, and as soon as he went upstairs, he immediately noticed that someone in Luoshui Valli's room was still moving.
Knowing that it was Xu Siling who came back, Luo Shui hurriedly opened the door, and what greeted him was a familiar smell of blood.
There were no signs of injury on the leather armor on his body, and the blood had dried up, and it was obvious that the blood was not his.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I'm waiting for Lord Silling to come back."
Xu Siling smiled and touched Luo Shui's sensible little head: "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, you have to be busy." ”
During this time, Luo Shui and Wally have been following Xu Siling to clean up the loot, and when they heard that they were busy during the day, they probably guessed that there was a big battlefield for them to loot tomorrow.
Luo Shui nodded hurriedly, and then closed the door and lay on the bed to rest peacefully.
Xu Siling returned to his room, took off his leather armor equipment, took the basin of water prepared in the room, and wiped the weapon.
While wiping, I looked at the window in front of me.
Until he wiped it clean, he fell into deep thought.

The next bandit camp was in a lot of trouble for him.
The terrain is a bit steep, which is nothing, the main number of people is a bit large, and there are eighteen robbers in all of them.
For so long in the night, there were two robbers taking turns to keep watch, and the level of vigilance was much better than the previous camp.
After surveying the terrain, Xu Siling solved the robbers who were on guard, determined the approximate number of people and started to move, but this time he did not choose to sneak attack the camp like before.
Instead, he chose to shoot the robbers on the periphery with a bow and arrows.
Because there are too many people on the other side, if he touches it and is discovered, so many people surround him, he is not wearing a chain mail robe, and with his current equipment, he can't ask for too many benefits.
The reason why Xu Siling didn't carry his longbow was that the English longbow was too long to carry.
The hunting bow in his hand does not have this disadvantage, although the pound is a little lower and the quality is a little worse, but it is more than enough to kill these robbers at close range.
The robbers who were shot down by cold arrows in the camp shouted in panic, and Xu Siling shot down five people in a row, and only then did a few people discover his location.
Xu Siling relied on his bow and arrow skills and superb sword fighting to defeat these robbers one by one.
After all, these robbers lack combo training, and if they rush towards Xu Siling, it will be difficult for him to deal with.
It's a pity that the bandits and their ilk can't be on the table, and their strength is uneven.
And the advantage of choosing to shoot down the enemy with a bow and arrow in front of you comes, most of the enemies who are shot down are not dead, and this time cut off their heads, and the problem of low skill proficiency increase is immediately avoided.
After a night's hard work, Xu Siling, who had cleared the robbers in two camps in a row, went back to the tavern to rest.
After returning to the tavern, he found that the sword fighting skill had successfully broken through to the grandmaster level, and before he could be happy, the asterisk on the sword fighting skill made him stunned.
Click on the sword fighting skill, and there are three options in front of him.
——
[Sword and Shield Specialization] Sword and shield matching, work is not tired, there is offense and defense, and Wang Ba is standard. Greatly improved sword and shield skills and protection.
[Dual-wielding mastery] opens the bow left and right, as fast as a tiger. Greatly increases the attack speed and parry ability of dual-wielding weapons.
If you can't kill your opponent with one sword, you usually only need to split the second sword. Greatly increases the attack and destruction power of two-handed weapons.
——
Choose one of three.
Which one to choose?
It's so hard, why can't you do it all.
