chapter 231, chapter 232
Xie Feng held the sword tightly with both hands and stared at the direction of the previous arrow - which was behind a pile of rocks not far away. Obviously, there was someone hostile to him ambushing in that place.
Since he didn't know the number of enemies, Xie Feng wanted to call for help and let the troops from far away come to support him. However, when he calmed down and thought about it, the distance between the troops and himself, and the fact that the troops were having a sumptuous dinner in a lively manner at the moment, he was afraid that he would call for help.
Even if you break your throat, the soldiers in your own unit may not be able to hear it. Even if you can hear it, by the time they arrive, it may be too late.
"Come out quickly! Where are you sneaking around pretending to be a turtle?" Xie Feng cursed angrily. For the current plan, we can only draw the enemy out as much as possible, otherwise the enemy will hide and we are exposed, and he will definitely not be pleased. In addition, Xie Feng also wants to
Know who the enemy is and how many there are.
"Haha." A sneer emerged from the pile of stones, and a figure walked out of it.
Under the moonlight, Xie Feng finally saw the man who attacked him clearly - he had a mustache, a prairie hat, a leather short-sleeved shirt, leggings, an iron spear on his back, and a nomadic bow in his hand.
——The outfit of a complete snowfield bandit—— No, it looks like it, but it doesn’t quite look like it.
It was very contradictory, as if he had seen such a dress somewhere. Xie Feng's mind fell into confusion for a moment.
Just when Xie Feng was at a loss, with the appearance of the mustache, people dressed as snowfield bandits appeared one after another near Xie Feng and Sera, and the sound of stepping on the snow kept making a non-stop sound.
After everyone showed up, Xie Feng made a rough estimate and found that there were nearly 50 people on the other side. Such a large team of snowfield bandits was really rare!
In the past, Xie Feng had always looked down upon low-level opponents like the Snowfield Bandits - but now there were only two of them, Xie Feng and Sera, facing about 50 Snowfield Bandits. Needless to say, just
The javelins and bows and arrows of these snowfield bandits can already feed Xie Feng.
Even though there was a huge gap in strength, Xie Feng knew in his heart: the bigger the gap, the less timid he should be. So Xie Feng frowned angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to do?"
The man with the mustache smiled slyly, pointed unsteadily at the fire in the distance of the snowy field, and asked: "I think you should be in that army, and your position is not low?" As he said that, the man with the mustache raised his eyes.
He took a malicious look at Xie Feng's equipment.
Because of the recent battle against Vaegia, he has paid a lot of enemy spoils. Xie Feng is no longer wearing the pirate suit he originally wore. Except for the fact that his helmet is still a German helmet, Xie Feng is now wearing scale armor.
Iron leggings - the standard uniform of senior Virginia soldiers. In the entire restoration coalition army, there are very few soldiers who can wear such good equipment. I guess the other party just thinks that I am of high status and is alone, and wants to
He was captured and asked for ransom or something like that.
Xie Feng immediately defended: "Haha, you obviously misunderstood. I am just an ordinary Vaegian knight. Even though my status in the military is not low, I am not much higher."
The bearded man chuckled and said: "I'm not sure whether you have a high status or not, but the masked man next to you should be Prince Vidim, the rumored leader of the Restoration Alliance, right? But I just saw him take off his mask.
The way she looks after that - she looks like a girl?"
"Oops!" Xie Feng was secretly worried. They had seen Sera's true face, but they must not be left alive!
But! It seems that I am overthinking it. Facing so many enemies, whether I can get out alive is a question. How can I consider whether to keep the other party alive?
Before Xie Feng could come up with any idea, Sera said: "Haha, it's true that Prince Vidim is wearing a mask, but not all those who wear masks are Prince Vidim."
"Huh?" He frowned obviously and asked, "What do you mean?"
Sera took a step forward, walked in front of Xie Feng, faced the mustache without fear, and said: "We are good members of the restoration coalition. A few days ago, Kumu Baboye, the lord of Loma Castle, gave Vidim
The prince sent a letter saying that he wanted to surrender, and specifically asked His Highness to go to Fort Loma to discuss state affairs. His Highness was afraid of fraud, so he specially sent me, His Highness's maid, to pretend to be him and go to Fort Loma.
Invited. Since I often serve His Highness the Prince and am accustomed to knowing His Highness’s temper, it is perfect for me to pretend to be him. We just met Kumu Baboye at Fort Loma today and were about to rush back when something unexpected happened on the way.
Hei was resting and eating here, and then he met you."
Sera's explanation was watertight and seemed to be just stating the facts. It was also half true and false, avoiding many logical errors. Even Xie Feng himself almost believed it.
Sure enough, the mustache frowned, and seemed to believe what Sera said, and then said: "Since you are Vidim's maid, and Vidim will send you to pretend to be him, it shows that you have a deep love for Vidim in his heart.
The value is not low. If I help you capture it, I will probably get a lot of ransom."
Xie Feng secretly yelled, "Oh no!" It seems that this guy with a mustache is not stupid at all!
"Haha!" Sierra suddenly laughed.
The bearded man's expression changed and he scolded: "Why are you laughing?"
Sera said: "Didn't I just say it? His Highness the Prince arranged for me to pretend to be him because he was afraid of being deceived. He did this because he expected that I would not be able to go back. For such a person, you
Do you still want to know how much he values me? In addition, I am willing to take risks for His Highness the Prince? This is enough to prove my loyalty. Do you think I will watch me bring trouble to His Highness?" As he said that, he moved his hand to
With a touch on his waist, a flying knife suddenly appeared in Sera's hand.
The bearded man's face changed drastically, and when he paused slightly to avoid Sera's flying knife, he saw Sera put the flying knife against his neck, and said harshly: "The only thing I can do now is to die.
I am loyal and will never allow you to cause any more trouble to His Highness!"
Xie Feng, who was watching beside him, was confused, and secretly complained in his mind: Sera, where are you acting? At least tell me the script in advance, otherwise how can I cooperate with you?
The mustachioed man looked at Sera holding the knife against him, showing no intention of resisting, and immediately believed it. Then he turned to look at the Restoration Alliance troops in the distance, and secretly cursed in his heart: "You bastard! It's not easy to meet him.
The leader of the army who seems to be alone is actually a fake." Then Xie Feng looked at it again and thought: "The leader is fake, so this Vagian knight should not be fake. Capture a Vagian knight and sell it to him.
If you give it to a slave trader, it's worth at least 00 dinars, right?" Thinking about it, Xie Feng's color became more and more fanatical as he thought about it.
Looking at the eyes of the bearded man, Xie Feng naturally knew what the bearded man was thinking at the moment, so he tightened his hand on the sword.
"Kill!" At this moment, Sera suddenly shouted, and at the same time threw out his hands, four rays of light flew out, straight towards the mustache!
The bearded man was frightened by the sudden attack, and at the same time he dodged like a reflex.
“Swish swish swish!”
The four flying knives were all avoided by the sensitive skills of the Eight-Sided Whisker in a critical situation. The four flying knives were actually unharmed by the Eight-Sided Whisker. What kind of reaction speed is this!
When Sera shouted "kill", Xie Feng also reacted. He raised his sword and immediately rushed towards the mustache. To capture the thief first, capture the king. Sera understood this truth, so how could Xie Feng not know?
After the mustache avoided Sera's four flying knives, Xie Feng followed closely with the assassin's phantom steps.
Seeing Xie Feng's speed, the two snowfield bandits next to Bazi Beard were shocked and quickly drew out their weapons to protect him in front of Bazi Beard.
"Clang, pfft, clang, pfft!"
With a crisp sound, the two snowfield bandits were instantly killed by Xie Feng on the spot and continued to charge.
In the time gap when the two men were resisting Xie Feng, Bazi Xu had already stood firm, and at the same time he drew out the iron spear on his back, facing Xie Feng's wolf-like attack, and stabbed with all his strength!
"Qiang!"
The sound of the impact of iron weapons echoed endlessly in the air, and Xie Feng's vigorous attack was resolved by the thrust of the spear in the hand of the mustache. When the two forces clashed, Xie Feng deeply felt the opponent's strength - his sword-holding hand was struck by such a blow.
Shocked, already slightly numb.
Xie Feng's offensive was neutralized with one move. The Eight-Sided Beard pushed back and left Xie Feng's attack range. He clenched the iron spear with both hands and stared at every corner of Xie Feng's body.
At the same time, the surrounding snowfield bandits also reacted and surrounded Xie Feng and Sera in a gourd-shaped form. The javelins, spears, and arrows in each person's hands shone in the moonlight, making people shudder.
.
"You have good martial arts skills." Bazibeard stared at Xie Feng and said, "Even the Knights of Virginia rarely have such strong martial arts skills as you." In the brief confrontation just now, Bazibeard obviously knew that Xie Feng in front of him,
The force is beyond my imagination.
Xie Feng looked at the snowfield bandits surrounding him, and then at the mustache in front of him, thinking that he might be in trouble tonight, so he planned to use a delaying tactic, and said: "You have such force and such a scale
Our team must not be ordinary snowfield bandits, who are you?"
After resisting Xie Feng's vigorous attack just now, the hand holding the spear started to tremble a little, and he just said: "I'm just a nobody, I don't need to trouble you to remember it."
Xie Feng gritted his teeth and said: "What do you want? If you just want money, I will give it to you."
As he spoke, Xie Feng took out a handful of coins from his arms and sprinkled them on the snow.
The bright coins were scattered on the ground, dazzling. A rough count showed that there were at least three or four hundred dinars - much more valuable than the prisoner of a Vaegian knight.
The mustache looked at the coins on the ground, then looked at Xie Feng, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that a Virginia knight has quite a lot of savings."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xie Feng shouted: "How about I give you the money and let us go? We are all warriors of Calradia, there is no need to make things difficult for each other. You ask for your money, and I will go my way.
We don’t offend each other!”
"What a good example of non-infringement!" Bazi Xu said: "You killed two of my men and fought with me. Now you are surrounded by my men and have no way to escape. That's why you say they are not in conflict with each other. Haha.
!Is there anything so cheap in the world?”
Xie Feng also looked at the two snowfield bandits who had been chopped to the ground just now. They were still struggling feebly on the snow. Although they did not die on the spot, they probably could not be saved, so he said: "Then what do you want?
"
"It's very simple!" Bazi Xu said: "I want the money. I also want to use it to bury the person!" As he said that, Bazi Xu's hand holding the spear tightened again, and he looked at Xie Feng with more eyes.
A bit murderous.
Looking at the bearded man who was about to attack at any moment, Xie Feng sneered and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" At the same time, he thought about it in his mind: If he used the "powerful force", he would probably be able to survive before his physical strength was exhausted.
Get rid of all these ordinary snowfield bandits. It’s just that the martial arts of this eight-character bearded man is extraordinary, and I don’t know if Sera can defeat him. Besides, when he uses his "powerful force", there is no guarantee that the snowy bandits will attack Sera. Sera
Although La is very good at throwing knives, his dodge skills still need to be improved. Is such a gamble worth it?
The bearded man snorted: "Not afraid? That's the best. I'm most annoyed by those who cry and cry before they die." As he spoke, his body trembled slightly, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
"Wait a minute!" Xie Feng thought clearly. There was no need to make insignificant sacrifices with these desperadoes, so he said: "I still have a wife, children, and children at home. Without me, their lives will be ruined. Please make a condition.
, as long as you are willing to put aside grudges with a smile, and as long as the money issue is not excessive, I will try my best to satisfy you."
When Xie Feng said this, Mustache was a little moved. After all, he still has so many people waiting for him to support him. If the Vagian knight in front of him really still has money, there is no need to make such a famous statement.
And gave up more money. So he said: "How much are you willing to pay for your own life?"
Xie Feng roughly weighed it and found that he was not short of money for the time being, but firstly, there was no need to spend so much, and secondly, it was impossible for him to be a "Virgia Knight" and have so much money. So he
The money they took out must satisfy their appetite, and at the same time, it will not arouse suspicion. So he said: "I am a small officer in the army, and I usually embezzle some trophies. Apart from the usual expenses, I have already sent it home.
I have accumulated about 100 dinars for the expenses. If you think highly of me, we might as well make friends. I am willing to pay 1,000 dinars as a meeting gift."
"Trophy?" The mustache frowned. He looked at the equipment on his men. They were all old and rough leather vests, nomadic armor and the like. Even he was just a leather short-sleeved shirt.
It can't prevent much damage. If there is better equipment, the strength of my team will definitely be improved. So I asked: "Can you get us equipment? It must be better than what we have!"
"
Xie Feng took a look at the clothes of the nearby snow bandits, and naturally knew what the mustache was thinking, so he said: "I can, I will go back to the army to get it now." As he said that, he pointed to the fire in the distance.
"You go back alone, come back alone, she..." After saying that, the mustache pointed at Sera and said: "Stay as a hostage." Judging from Sera's resistance just now, she is naturally a
She is a person who is not willing to seek death casually, and judging from the observation while lurking just now, the two of them seem to be lovers, so using her as a hostage is perfect.
After Xie Feng glanced at Sera, he could only respond: "Okay, I'll be back soon." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned back and asked: "By the way, what do you call the unknown warrior?"
