Chapter 132: Stopping the Thieves
Most of the thieves were not the first time they had experienced this kind of scene, and the ability to escape as a thief was far more important than the ability to fight. It's not the first time they've escaped, and the routes are familiar, and some thieves put their belongings in an easily accessible place before the battle, and once they start to escape, they can take valuable things with them.
Except for some of the thieves who had been killed, most of them fled in the direction of the valley, and Exewin left some of his men in the village to continue the search for fish that had slipped through the net, and then personally led a large army to chase them all the way.
By this time Savin had fallen asleep, and he was very unhappy that the whole battle had not been his business, and he heard the sound of fighting in the valley from a distance, and his heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to rush to the battle with an axe. He had sent Narros to inquire about the news, but who knew that she would never return, and Sawin said to himself, "She must have gone to war by herself, and she should have gone by herself......
At this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from the valley not far away, and it seemed that many people were approaching this side, and Savin suddenly came to his senses, and he took an axe and climbed the big tree used to block the mouth of the valley in three or two steps, and drove towards the valley. Sure enough, a little fire not far away was rushing towards the valley mouth, and Sawin was excited, and it was finally his turn to do it.
"Ready, the enemy is coming!" Savin shouted back to his archers.
The archers, led by Selia, had arrived not long ago, and they were so tired that they stuck out their tongues, and they were just about to fall asleep when they were screamed by Savin. Sawan also knew that they were tired enough, but this is an extraordinary time, and no matter how tired they are, they must get up and fight, otherwise all the previous hard work will be in vain.
"Quick! prepare your bow and arrows, and listen to me!" Sawan urged loudly. The archers mustered their spirits, prepared their bows and arrows one by one, and used the fallen trees as shelter, so that they could release their arrows as soon as Savan gave the order. Sawan said to Cereya, "Cereya has a torch ready, and as soon as she releases her arrows, she will light the fire that has been prepared in advance. Celia nodded, and immediately went over to prepare.
By this time the thieves had fled to the valley less than a hundred paces, and since it was dark the thieves were carrying torches, making them the best targets for the archers. Eighty steps, sixty steps, fifty steps...... Sawin silently counted the distance, and seeing that the thieves led by him were completely in range, Sawin shouted, "Release the arrows!"
Savin's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, as if a thunderbolt had suddenly hit on a sunny day, so frightened that the thieves almost urinated on the spot, but the real power was still behind, and a sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard in the darkness, and the dozen or so thieves led by them were shot to the ground by sharp arrows before they could make any reaction.
This sudden attack frightened the other thieves to stop suddenly, and the thieves behind did not have time to stop, and they bumped into the people in front of them at once, only to hear a wail, and dozens of thieves fell into a ball. At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up at the mouth of the valley, and I saw a "wall" appear at the mouth of the valley that is flat on weekdays. On the top of that "wall" stood proudly, a tall and straight figure like a legendary god, and the thieves were like being struck by lightning, and there was even an army ambush here!
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the thieves couldn't see Savan's face clearly, but felt that this man was extraordinary, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt tall and mighty, and some of the timid ones had begun to slip away quietly. However, most of the thieves are outlaws, and although they were startled at first, people who lick blood on knives all year round are not so easy to obey.
"Don't be afraid, there's only one person, let's go up and kill him!" Someone began to agitate the crowd, and the thieves had now recovered from the initial shock, and when they looked closely, there was indeed only one, and they grew bold again.
"Come on, it's safe to rush over!" the thieves shouted and pounced on Savan at the encouragement of those who had a heart.
"Shoot the arrows!" Savin ordered decisively.
Twenty arrows were fired in unison, and a dozen more people fell, but this time the thieves did not flinch because a companion had fallen, and they continued to charge towards Sawan with their swords, and by this time the thieves in front of him were already less than twenty steps away from the obstacle. Sawan beckoned, and Celia behind her suddenly flashed out, holding the wind and wave sword in both hands, and she heard her scream, and the sword in her hand swung out of the air, and then suddenly there was a whistling sound of the wind tearing through the air, like a hungry wolf howling in the night.
A group of thieves suddenly felt a suffocating gust of wind rushing towards them, and the sound of "stabbing and stabbing ......" sounded continuously, and the bodies of the thieves were covered with deep wounds that could be seen in a moment. A dozen thieves fell to the ground and howled in pain, blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was very tragic.
"There's a magician!" the thief cried out in horror, magic had a mysterious and terrifying impression on ordinary people, and they were terrified when they suddenly saw their companions injured by the invisible wind blade.
Sawan quietly gave Celia a thumbs up, he didn't expect this little girl's wind blade sword to have such a damaging power, I used to underestimate her, but this wind blade can't hurt herself, but it has a wonderful effect when used against ordinary people. Seeing that several of his little plans had succeeded one after another, Sawin inevitably felt a little proud in his heart, and he took advantage of the thieves' fear to shout: "All lay down their weapons and surrender, or they will be killed!"
The thieves looked at each other, they were all hesitating to surrender, it seemed too cowardly to surrender like this, the other party seemed to be very small in number, as long as they swarmed up, maybe there was a chance to escape, if they surrendered, they would not be able to live or die. Several prestigious people among the thieves exchanged glances at each other, how can they fight and then say, it is too cowardly to be said to surrender by the other party in a few words, how can they mix on the road in the future......
So someone encouraged again: "Don't be afraid, everyone, even if there are magicians, they can't stand the number of us, everyone rushes together, and they can't stop it!"
"That's right, let's kill it! Rush through here and enter the forest, and it's safe!"
"Yes, let's go up together, kill them!"
After some encouragement, some simple-minded people really began to be eager to try, and at this time, there was already a faint sound of pursuit from the rear, and it would not be long before the pursuers were about to arrive.
People's desire to survive is more effective than any slogan, and finally someone can't help but shout: "Everyone kill, or it will be too late!" This sound finally ignited the ferocity of the thieves, and only to hear hundreds of thieves shouting in unison: "Kill! Kill!" With the shouting, the thieves rushed up and pounced on Savin and the others.
Sawin couldn't see it well, so many people rushed together, it was difficult to stop him by himself alone, the only way was to cut him down a few first, hoping to scare the others, his task was to drag them as much as possible, and it would be easy to do it as soon as the team behind arrived.
"Selia, you hold the wall, the others shoot freely, I'll go down and stop them!" Sawan said as he jumped down from the tree, and met the thieves with two sharp axes.
With the current strength of Sawen's second-order dragon and the assistance of the dragon's tooth necklace, ordinary people can't be Sawen's opponent at all, and it is impossible to connect him with a single move. Sawan danced the two axes like flies, and the thieves' weapons were immediately shocked away at the slightest contact, and even the weapons of people were directly shocked away. Sawan rushed to the place where the crowd was most dense, and as the sharp axe flew up and down, thieves flew all over the sky like a goddess scattering flowers, screaming and colliding endlessly.
Samhain became more and more courageous as he fought, his head and limbs flying in all directions, and the blood was pouring like a torrential downpour, but in a matter of moments, Samhain was made as if he had been fished out of the blood of the enemy. In the eyes of the thieves, this person is completely a killing god who escaped from hell, and he will die and be injured when he is touched, and he is really as terrifying as he wants. The thieves now know that no matter how many people they have, they can't be the opponent of this guy, and the only way is to run away and let the others die.
Seeing these thieves running around the obstacles formed by the trees one by one, this made Sawan very difficult, although these people were vulnerable, he could not stop everyone, and most of them escaped. Then look at Thruway and the twenty archers, who kept shooting arrows while using Selia's wind blade to kill and wound the thieves. Although the effect was significant, it could not stop all those who escaped.
Seeing that dozens of thieves had already climbed the obstacle while others were killed, Celia had to give up using the Wind Blade and fight with them with her sword. Seeing that more and more thieves were about to cross the obstacles, Celia couldn't help but feel anxious, and she had an idea, and shouted to her companions: "Set fire to these trees!"
It was their pre-arranged strategy to set the trees on fire as soon as they could not stop the thieves from escaping, for which they had already picked up some dry grass and branches and piled them up behind the obstacles, while also dousing them with fire oil. When the archers heard Celia say this, they looked at each other, and someone nodded, and everyone sprang into action, and they rushed to the fire that had just been lit, drew a few burning firewoods from it, and threw them at the haystack.
In a matter of moments, piles of hay and dead branches were ignited, and with the help of fire oil, the raging fire soon burned, and the billowing smoke made everyone's faces burst into tears, and the sound of coughing and snorting sounded again and again......
