Chapter 3: Night Raid
The rest of the men were busy with their own work, some were packing pots and bowls, some were preparing firewood, and some were laying their horses and grain properly.
And Lance and Blank started chatting between them again.
"Have you ever killed someone?"
Blank suddenly asked Lance such a question, a little inexplicable.
Lance was stunned for a moment, thought about what Candita usually taught them, and then said honestly: "I haven't killed, but when we were training, my father taught us that once the enemy has killing intent, we must use all our strength to attack, otherwise it is very likely that we will die." ”
Blank agrees with Lance's words, and it seems that Lance's teacher, his father, is definitely a terrific warrior.
"Do you want to know what it's like to kill someone?"
Blank grinned as he asked the pretty young man with blonde hair, like a weird kidnapper.
To be honest, he really liked this guy.
Honest, kind, compassionate, and cheerful, in the words of those old fellows, this whole thing is a "fool".
Don't look at Lance, his usual movements are very casual, but whether he is walking or resting, there will always be a hand on the hilt of the sword, I don't know if it is his personal habits, or just a coincidence, those experienced mercenaries are just like that.
If it's really a habit, then his sense of battle is really quite terrifying.
Lance frowned and didn't answer Blank's question, but he knew very well that killing people was something he had to go through after all.
Blanc looked at Lance's expression, and suddenly laughed heartily: "My dear friend, I like your expression very much, I really want to get to know the teacher who taught you, he is simply a magical guy." ”
Then he patted Lance on the shoulder and said, "Are you going to go to the northern border to sharpen yourself?
Lance pondered again, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "I don't know." ”
"Hahaha...... It's funny, but I like you kid, I think we're going to be good friends!" Blanc's laughter was full of sincerity this time, and Lance could feel that this fat man was not treacherous at all at this time.
As the night grew darker, and after finishing their work, the group gathered around the campfire and chatted about it, and Blank gradually felt a little bored, so he simply got up and went back to his carriage to sleep.
After chatting for a while, the others also found a place to rest or lean against or lie down.
......
Not long after nightfall, a thick layer of clouds gradually gathered in the sky, obscuring the somewhat dim moonlight.
"Boss, there are only two beginner martial arts monks there, maybe the hair hasn't grown yet, there are so many of us, which one doesn't have a few lives in his hands, we are afraid of him. ”
A bearded man whispered to his boss.
The look on his face was already a little impatient, the blonde boy looked much stronger than the thin monkey's posture, just thinking about it made him a little excited, and he really wanted to go up and strip people naked and have a good pity.
"That's right, boss, although labor and management are not warrior monks, there are several warrior monks who died in the hands of labor and management, let's do it together, we can definitely overthrow them all. ”
Another robber with a meaty face boasted.
He did kill a few martial monks, but those were just martial monk apprentices who had not yet graduated, and those real martial monks, even if they were only beginners, he had never touched any of them.
"Shao Tama's braggadocio coins, just a few hands of yours can compete with the martial monks, let's not underestimate the enemy, go up together, and hack them to death with a knife." ”
The other robber man was quite sensible and not so arrogant, but his words aroused the displeasure of the other robbers.
"As for the two hairy boys of Tama, maybe the badge of that junior martial artist was bought by the family. I've been with them for a day, and it's just that bald boy, and there are still a hand or two, and later, you, you, you...... Come with me, kill the bald boy first, and the rest of the people, follow the boss to kill the yellow-haired boy. ”
It was a burly man with a height of nearly two meters, armed with a machete, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his momentum was quite frightening, and he suddenly jumped out and gave the order past the robber leader.
The bandit leader was a little displeased with the burly man's behavior, but he didn't care.
It's just that I don't know why today, and I always feel a little uneasy.
He was the only one in the team who used to be a beginner martial artist, and over the years, he had robbed homes and houses, and most of his kung fu had been wasted.
If the other party only had one beginner-level martial cultivator, he would still be somewhat sure, but now that there were two, he would be a little weak-hearted.
However, fortunately, there are many of them, and everyone is swarming, at most, they are only a little injured, and they should be able to eat one or two wastes if they lose anything, so they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet and made a decision: "Everyone move neatly, kill them all." ”
When the robbers heard the boss's order, they also felt a burst of excitement.
Just a few rookies, how could they be the opponents of their dozen or so fierce men, they didn't hide their whereabouts and quietly sneaked attack, they all shouted one after another, carrying knives and resisting axes and rushed in the direction of the fire.
When the clamor came, Ike and Lance were the first to react, and they didn't talk nonsense, and quickly drew their swords to meet this group of menacing bandits.
Candita taught them not to talk nonsense on the battlefield unless they needed to stall for time, and just kill all the enemies who threaten their lives.
The accompanying grooms and Bafort were also awakened by the movement, and they were a little flustered by the start, and they stood there one by one, bewildered.
I haven't encountered robbers for many years, but today I was unlucky, and now I only pray that these two warrior monks hired can protect them, and if they see that the situation is not right, the horsemen and lame beggars will definitely choose to flee without hesitation.
With such a big movement, there was no movement at all on the fat Blanke's side, and this heart was a little too big.
Lance and Ike glanced at each other, and split left and right to attack the robbers who rushed up. Just by taking a look, the two robbers who rushed in front were cut to the ground by the two, and they couldn't live when they saw it.
When the rest of the robbers saw this, their hearts chilled, and only then did they realize that they had completely underestimated the strength of these two martial monks.
