Chapter 126: Trickery
Exewin couldn't wait to grab Naros and asked, "How is it, what have you investigated in the past few days?"
Narros nodded and said, "It's true that you found something, and at the same time killed several patrolling thieves, otherwise you would have been able to drag it out until now without being discovered?"
Exewin thanked Naros from the bottom of his heart: "Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this operation would have failed before it began." ”
Narros said expressionlessly: "Now is not the time to talk about this, now must leave immediately, the thieves are missing, it won't be long before they find out, and if they delay any longer, they should run away." ”
Exewin was justified when she heard this, but it was probably more difficult to keep those knights on the road than to ascend to the sky, and her face couldn't help but show embarrassment when she thought of this. Seeing Exeven's embarrassed look, Narros asked, "What, what's the problem?"
Exewin told Naros about his concerns, and Naros was silent for a moment before saying, "I have a solution, it's up to you to try it." As she spoke, Narros leaned into Exsewin's ear and whispered her own solution.
Exewin frowned at first, but then there was a fierce look in his eyes.
The rest of the march was unusually long, and the mercenaries and knights all took the time to sleep and did not give the order to continue on their way until the sun went down. Some people with brains can't help but be curious, this is not at all like the rhythm of desperate hurrying before, but more people will not take the time to think about this, can rest for a while is a while, who has the extra strength to think about this.
Sawin lay in the shade of a tree and closed his eyes, he also belongs to the person who is too lazy to think, in Sawen's opinion, any thief group is a straw bag, there is no need to worry too much about it, the real trouble is the elves, and it is not too late to use his brain at that time. But Selia, who was beside Samin, began to worry, and she whispered in Samin's ear: "My lord, things seem to be a little strange, don't you think it's strange that you haven't been on the road after resting for so long?"
Samin didn't even move his eyelids, and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to worry about, I can handle whatever happens." ”
"I'm not talking about this, I always feel like something is going to happen?"
Sawin said nonchalantly: "Don't think too much, you women are just suspicious......"
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a scream from the bushes, "Ah!" Savin and Celia sat up in shock, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time saw each other's eyes widen. Sawin said in his heart: "What a crow's mouth, whatever you say!"
Celia's heart was a little proud: "Look, I said something was going to happen!"
It wasn't just the two of them who heard the screams, but everyone else nearby also crawled up in fright, some with their swords in hand, others looking around in horror. At this time, I heard someone shouting, "Oh no, someone is injured!" With the sound, everyone ran over to watch, only to see a knight was struck hard from the back of the head, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the person had fainted.
When everyone saw this scene, their hearts could not help but beat drums, could it be that the enemy had already discovered his whereabouts here, and when they thought that this dense forest was someone's territory, no matter who they were, their hearts began to be afraid.
However, before they could figure out what was going on, there was another scream from another place, and everyone hurried over to see another person lying in a pool of blood. Someone stepped forward to check it out, looked up and said to everyone: "It's okay, it's just that I'm injured, don't worry about my life for the time being." ”
After being attacked in a row, no one could sleep peacefully, and everyone came to Exewin to ask her for an idea, especially the two knight captains, Will and Prince, who shouted the most fiercely, waving their fists and looking unwilling to give up. Savin had always looked down on these two people, and at this time, listening to the two of them calling, the anger in his heart was stirred up a little bit.
"What's going on!" Sawan pushed away the man in front of him and squeezed in front of Exewin, but his eyes were fiercely fixed on Will and Prince.
Before Exewin could speak, he heard Will say first: "Lord Swain, you have come just in time, two of our brothers have been seriously injured, we strongly demand to march immediately, we want to avenge the wounded brothers, and now we must leave immediately!"
This was a bit unexpected, and he thought that the two of them were going to take the opportunity to pick a pick, but he didn't expect that it would be a request to leave immediately, which made Samin almost think that he had misheard. Savin turned his head to look at Exewin, only to see Exewin quietly hand over an approving look, Savin immediately understood, and Exewin couldn't ask for it.
Sawan nodded and said, "Sir Will is right, since our whereabouts have been revealed, the best thing to do is to set off immediately, and try to get to their lair as soon as possible before the thieves can make a move, and wipe them out in one fell swoop." ”
Will was a little flattered to see that Sawan completely agreed with him, and he said with joy on his face: "Lord Sawen, it is really the same as the hero!"
Sawin scolded in his heart: "What kind of hero are you!"
Seeing that several high-level figures were asking to leave immediately, Exewin raised his voice and said: "Since everyone is strongly requesting, then naturally I will not refuse, now everyone immediately pack up their things, and we will leave immediately!"
This time, no one said anything hard, not that everyone wanted to take revenge, but they were a little scared in their hearts, although it was hard to rush, but the chance of being attacked was much smaller. Because Naros has been active in the mountains and forests for the past few days, she has also explored the road and found a relatively easy road for the team, although it is much farther than before, but she can try to avoid those cliffs that are difficult to climb, which also improves the overall speed a lot.
However, the hero of all this, Narros, never showed up, except for Axeven, who knew that Naros had been secretly following, and even Savin did not know where Narros was.
Sawan complained to Axivin as he hurried: "Where is Narros, why is she not joining us, could it be something......" Axivin just smiled and did not answer Axeven's question, who looked at her mysteriously and wondered if Axevin was hiding something from him.
After a night of running, the large army finally arrived at dawn near the valley where the Thruvian thieves were hiding, thanks to Narros's prior reconnaissance, Exevin had a clear understanding of the entire surrounding terrain, this valley was not very large, and it was extremely difficult to detect under the cover of a magical barrier. The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side leading to the forest to the north, which is the territory of the elven tribes.
Judging from the combat strength of both sides, it is not difficult for the crusading army to win, the key is not to let the thieves flee into the territory of the elves, otherwise it will be in vain, in order to block the escape route of the thieves, there must be a team around the valley and go straight to the exit of the valley.
Exewin looked at the people who were almost exhausted and paralyzed, and there were probably not many people who could still maintain the speed of the forced march now, and after looking for them, Exewin finally set his eyes on Savin.
"Savan, I have an important task for you, and I hope you don't refuse. Exewin said solemnly to Savan.
Sawin smiled: "Do you still need to be so polite with me, just say what you want." ”
Exewin explained his intentions, and Savin nodded in agreement, "That's fine, I'll leave right now." ”
Exewin grabbed Savin and said, "What are you anxious about, you have to pick some people to help you." ”
Sawin looked at the people who fell to the ground one by one, shook his head and said, "I think it's better to forget it, you see they can't even stand up, and even if they go, I'm afraid they won't be able to help much." ”
Exewin insisted: "No, I can't let you go alone, you have to take a team anyway." ”
Sawin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take Celia and those 20 archers, you should be relieved now." ”
Exevin reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but one thing you have to keep in mind is that your mission is to stop the bandits from escaping the forest, and you don't have to fight with them, as long as you can hold them back for a while." Our side will attack when the moon rises in the middle after dark, so be sure to arrive before then. ”
"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem with me. Sawin patted his chest and reassured.
Sawin called up Selia and the twenty archers who were resting on the ground, and told everyone the order, only to see that everyone was embarrassed, and Sawin also knew that they were very tired at this time, but an order is an order, and they cannot give up because they are tired.
Sawan said: "You are all my knight squires, since you are my squires, you must be worthy of this name, otherwise you are no longer worthy of following my side, I give you a chance to choose again, whether to follow me on the road immediately, or go back to your old path, and continue to be a mercenary who is looked down upon." Now you have the choice!"
After listening to Savan's words, Celia was the first to stand up without saying a word, she stepped forward and said, "Lord Sawen, I will definitely follow you." ”
The others saw Selia taking the lead, and then thought about themselves, and finally got an opportunity to become a knight, which was something they didn't even dare to think about before, if they gave up so easily because of fatigue, what hope could they have for their future lives? So twenty people stepped forward one after another, and said with a resolute look in their eyes: "Lord Savan, we will never give up the opportunity to follow you, no matter what kind of place we go!"
Sawan nodded and said loudly, "Very good, let's go right away!"
