Chapter 49 In-depth (2)
Barolof stood on the city wall and watched the thirteen-man team he had eliminated climbing towards the top of the hill along a messy hillside. Half of the thirteen people were excellent scouts, and there would be a lot of talents that guilds were rushing to seek wherever they went, while the other half was assassins, who were more expensive talents, because training them took Barolof a lot of financial and material resources. Assassin-type characters were generally trained by the guild themselves. Although players who rely on their personal financial and material resources to become qualified assassins cannot be said to be without them, they are definitely rare.
Not to mention the rare magic prop "Miracle Feather" carried by their captain Gargoyle, which was the camp mission reward obtained by Barolwufu since the end of the battle in Nalun Town. It was a bright chick feather, emitting the light of Mars, sealed in a charred black bottle, emitting faint light. It is said that this small feather can set off a fire that burns the entire village. It is an extremely expensive and rare disposable magic prop.
In addition to being members of the Iron Chain Knights, the people who watched the team leave on the city wall with Barovvu were also many guards guarding the city wall, craftsmen who maintained the crossbows and garrisoners who were in the northeast.
"What can you do with such a few people?" Although the garrison officer had no disrespect tone, his words still attracted the dissatisfaction of several members of the Iron Chain Knights.
"Fire." The unexpected Barolwufu answered his question. He looked at the garrison officer and showed a smile on his face. There was very little smile on the man's face, "Fire that soars into the sky. Be prepared to pray for forgiveness to the God of the Forest for us."
The garrison was intimidated by the joyful smile of Barolof. It was such a strange smile that made the garrison quickly turn away. Fighting and fighting are troubles and disasters that people like the garrison and others have to deal with, but Barolof's smile seemed to be joyful because of these. This was an extremely terrifying thing for the garrison. Although he had long known that this bald man was a person like "the evil ghost on the battlefield", the real feeling of standing with him made him regret his previous offense.
Suddenly someone asked, "Although there is 'that thing', can it really be ignited?"
The garrison officer turned his head and looked at the person who asked the question. He wanted to see what kind of fool dared to ask the man in such an inadvertent tone. He was also a mercenary. Sure enough, only mercenaries dared to talk to the mercenary like this? The garrison officer couldn't help but think in confusion that although he was a blacksmith, he was also a mercenary before, with strong arms, slightly flushed cheeks and noses, and an alcoholic. However, the garrison officer knew that this person was a very prestigious blacksmith among the craftsmen from the south.
"Hmph," then the Barolo warrior showed a proud look on his face, "Who do you think I am?" He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He was looking at the top of the hill. In the morning, the giant monsters appeared there, and then disappeared there. The trees there were cut down. At this moment, the things inserted on the hillside were only crossbow arrows as thick as slabs fired by crossbows.
On the side of the hill, although many trees were cut down, more were large woodlands, and the old logging farm that was previously regarded as the outpost of the Knights of the Iron Chain. However, no one knew what the other side had turned into after the monsters arrived. Not all the scouts sent by the Duke of Golden Waterfalls came back, and those who came back only brought some useless information.
"Ho, it looks confident, the hero of Nalun Town?" The blacksmith also grinned, then picked up the sheepskin wine bag in his hand and drank the spirits inside. After burping, he raised his eyes and looked at Barolwufu, "So can you tell me what you plan, President Barolwufu? To be honest, the craftsmen are very uneasy, after all, a tree rain suddenly started to fall from the sky."
Shuyu is too exaggerated, right? The garrison officer who heard them talking could not help but frown and thought.
"Do you want to know?" Barolwufu held the female wall gap with his hands, and then looked at the blacksmith beside him, and the blacksmith just looked at him with a default look. "Why do you think the outpost that our Iron Chain Knights had spent so much effort to build was abandoned so easily?" he asked the blacksmith.
The garrison officer also thought about this question. The members of the Iron Chain Knights had almost all been in Jinhu City, because they had been in Jinhu City for two years. They were the clearest about their personnel moving to the city gate. He was sure that he had never seen their operations of this scale in the past two years. He saw trucks of supplies transported out of the mansion in the city and then transported out of the city gate. As soon as he inquired, he knew that they were going to establish an outpost against the trolls. But later, with the news that the Duke's temporary fortress was destroyed, he immediately heard about the evacuation of the Iron Chain Knights. Seeing them passing through the city gate, the garrison officer couldn't help but feel confused. Where did their supplies go? Was it destroyed by the trolls? Or was it left in the valley?
Before the garrison officer could think of something, Baroloft pulled him back to reality with a smile. "Because we have planned to abandon that thing from the beginning." Baroloft's words stunned the garrison officer.
"What does it mean?" he asked blurted out, but he immediately regretted it. The blacksmith, Barolffu himself and his subordinates looked at him. When he was just trying to say something to defend himself for eavesdropping, he found that the members of the Iron Chain Knights all had that kind of smile on their faces.
It is not ridicule, but with a joyful smile like a beast when it discovers its prey.
"It means that one of the purposes of building that 'outpost' is to abandon it." A subordinate of Barovu said with a smile, "If you don't abandon it, you can't use it, right?"
"Use? What to use?" the garrison officer asked immediately, vaguely realizing something bad.
"Fire." The blacksmith said something that the garrison officer realized, "It's fire. If you stand in the flames, you can't use it, right?"
"Is it..." The garrison officer widened his eyes, and he looked at Barolo Wufu, and the bald tall mercenary also looked at him, "The supplies you transported out at that time--"
"That's right, it's tar and fish oil." Barrowfu said calmly at the garrison officer.
...
"Hey! So I ask you why you suddenly ran away?!" Lianda followed closely behind three girls in red and blue cloaks like him in front of him, dragging an iron spear in his hand, and quickly walked around the various debris piled up in the alleys. The debris and garbage accumulated in the alleys in the old city were much more debris and garbage than other urban areas. The stench here made Lianda feel very uncomfortable.
"You ask Ding Ke!" The girl wearing a hat similar to Kasperba replied gritting her teeth, holding a thin blade in her hand, and the sharp and long blades emitted a cold light.
"Because that guy is very suspicious!" The girl who rushed in front dragging the slender sword and replied loudly, "After seeing us, I immediately got into the alley!"
"It's because of this?" Lianda almost wanted to stop immediately.
"Don't look at Ding Ke like that, she has the intuition that she is not inferior to the beast." The expressionless exotic girl said while running while dragging the big sword.
The intuition of the beast?! Lianda only felt confused.
"Mozi! Stop chatting!" Ding Ke, who was rushing to the front, suddenly shouted loudly. Lianda looked ahead, and a pile of wicker boxes and scrap shelves were pushed to the ground, and a large area of dust was raised. "Coria! You detour forward from the left to drive away the man, and Mozi from the right! Drive that idiot into Mai's vision!"
"I know without saying it!" The girl named Coria complained dissatisfiedly and walked into the alley on the left like a ghost, while the exotic girl named Mozi rushed into the alley on the right silently, with her long ponytail flying with her cloak behind her head.
Just as Lianda was about to slow down, Ding Ke suddenly shouted again: "Newbie! Bounce over to me!"
Even if you call me—?!
But when Lianda noticed Ding Ke's movement, she gritted her teeth and accelerated the speed. Ding Ke raised the slender sword in her hand that reflected the silver-white light, and slashed wildly towards the pile of wood waste that blocked their progress. After a pleasant cracking sound, the old shelf that fell in the alley was immediately split into two sides, please sweep out the passable position. At this moment, Lianda also rushed to Ding Ke. She jumped up and stepped on a wicker box and directly crossed the pile of obstacles blocking the road ahead.
What's going on with these guys?! Lianda was wondering in his heart, while chasing the person who fled in front of him. So why did I help them chase that person? It's entirely possible that I was just wasting my efforts? Although I thought about this, Lianda still did not slow down. Behind him, the girl named Ding Ke who had broken out of the road had already crossed the obstacles and chased after him.
Just to catch a person who "just feel suspicious because of his beastly intuition", they started this pursuit?! Lianda, who was in a mess in his mind, still couldn't convince himself, no! Never join this ghost sword brigade! Are the rest of them the same people as these guys?!
Just when Lianda was in chaos, the man who had just disappeared at the corner of her left hand in front of her immediately escaped again. When he saw Lianda, he was so scared that he ran towards the corner of her right hand in a pale face. She immediately accelerated her pace and followed. At this time, the girl named Coria also rushed out with a fast speed. When she saw Lianda, she looked shocked across her face, but she immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't block the way!" Then she rushed over from Lianda, but Lianda immediately followed closely.
The pursuit was simpler than expected. The man was forced out of the alley area by these three terrifying hunters wearing red and blue cloaks just as they fled. As a result, when he had just rushed to the cliff area, Lianda saw the man suddenly fell to the ground, and then started to wail.
Lianda walked out of the alley, and there was a white sky in front of her. The roar of a waterfall came from beside her. When she walked forward, she could see a large area of mountains, forests and rivers in the south, and the Changgu Lake below the Golden Waterfall City. She immediately came back from the trance caused by this beautiful scenery, lowered her head and looked at the man who was wailing in her thighs. The other three "hunters" immediately walked out of the other alleys behind her.
"Oh!" Lianda heard someone say hello, and she raised her head and saw a girl sitting on the short wall beside the cliff area. She had seen her, with brown skin, light golden hair, and a listless look, but she was holding something she had never seen before. It seemed like a crossbow, right? Lianda thought of it in confusion while watching the short girl jump off the short wall, and then slowly walked over.
"nice! Mai!" Ding Ke smiled at the girl, then raised a thumb.
"It's not good to praise me," the girl yawned, "It would be better to say that the amount of baked apples you owe me has increased. I actually asked me to wait for so long and ask not to kill him. It's very hard to aim." She said lightly, then squatted down next to the man who was wailing on the ground, put the crossbow in his arms, supported his cheeks with both hands, and then looked at the man on the ground expressionlessly. "Ah, it's so pitiful, it looks so painful."
"You did this, right?" Lianda couldn't help but say.
As Mai said, it really looked very painful. A short crossbow arrow penetrated the man's thighs directly, and it was bleeding profusely at this moment. Three - no, four hunters, looking down at their prey, Ding Ke held his hands on his big sword, Coria put her hands on her hips, and the other hand was still holding the thin blade, while Mozi had put away the big sword at some point. Looking at these people, Lianda unconsciously took a step back.
"Hey." The first one to speak was Dink. She frowned and looked at the man who was lying on the ground, "Don't scream if you're not dead."
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" The man immediately cried and begged for mercy.
"Ah, I'm crying." Mai, who was holding his face with both hands, showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Hey! Are you still a man?" Ding Ke shouted dissatisfied.
"Oh, even a man will cry, it hurts very much." Coria, who was on the side, said with a frown.
"No way? I remember Mozi didn't say a word when he was injured before." Ding Ke retorted, and as she turned her head and looked at the exotic girl beside her, "Right, Mozi?"
"No, it hurts a lot." Mozi replied expressionlessly.
"Really?"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me... Woo woo woo woo..."
"It's so noisy!" Ding Ke shouted at the man on the ground.
"That..." Lianda on the side finally couldn't help but say.
"What's wrong?" Coria looked at her in confusion.
"What's wrong with you..." Lianda only felt a chaotic heart. No, as long as he stayed with these guys who were unreasonable, his mind would be in a chaotic heart. "Aren't you going to ask him anything?"
"What are you asking?" Ding Ke immediately asked suspiciously.
"What are you asking..." Lianda held his forehead and felt a little broken. I'm afraid the man who fell to the ground would be even more broken after hearing their words?
"So why do you want to chase him?" Lianda continued to ask patiently.
"Because he is very suspicious." Ding Ke looked as if he was taken for granted.
"Then ask why he is so suspicious!" Lianda finally couldn't stand these guys anymore.
After hearing Lianda's words, Ding Ke and Coria looked puzzled. It turned out that you just knew that you would be interrogated after you caught someone?! Lianda almost wanted to yell at them.
"This, this kind of thing is usually not something we do, uh, it's not what we do..." Coria said vaguely, "Yes, right? Ding Ke?"
"Well, yes, that's right, it's Coria!" Ding Ke also left his head.
"I'm actually starting to escape the problem right away." Mai, who was squatting on the ground, looked at the two of them and said.
"Looking!" both of them shouted at Mai.
"Oh, why did I follow you?" Lianda held his forehead and sighed. Only then did she walk forward, "Forget it, let me do it."
"Eh?" Ding Ke was obviously stunned, and Coria immediately squatted down to cover Mai's eyes.
"You can't watch the next scene!" Coria said to Mai.
"Good boys won't come to play this game at all, Coria." Mai said immediately dissatisfied.
"Please, please! Don't kill me!" The man looked at Lianda's already bloodless face immediately turned paler after he watched as he walked over with a spear. "Please! Please! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo..."
"I'll ask you," Lianda deliberately put on a cold look, "Why do you want to run when you see us?"
"Because, because..." The man looked at the other people next to him nervously, "Because he was afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Lianda asked immediately.
"I, I..." The man pursed his lips, sweat and tears flowed down his cheeks, "I don't know anything, I'm all..."
Even Lianda still thinks it's OK. Just as she was about to continue asking questions, Mozi, who had been silent on the side, spoke out: "There seems to be something on his right arm."
When Lianda heard her voice, she noticed that the man immediately covered his right arm, which was a loose and faded thick linen top. When the man fell to the ground, he accidentally exposed his wrist, so Mozi saw what was in his hand.
"What is that?" Lianda asked with a frown.
"This, this..." the man began to hesitate.
"Relax your sleeves." Lianda ordered coldly, but the man still covered his sleeves with a flashing expression and refused to move.
Before Lianda could say anything, Ding Ke, who was standing on the side, raised the big sword on the ground and reached the man's neck with a sharp luster. She didn't say a word, but her movements and expressions made the man ashamed. Finally, she helped lifted up the sleeve that she had just covered.
Then he showed a black big tree tattoo on his arm.
"Is it an apple tree?" Mai asked in confusion when he had been let go of Coria's eyes.
"It's the World Tree!" Coria corrected.
So that's it. Lianda nodded, and she looked at Ding Ke next to her. This guy... Maybe he really has the intuition like a beast.
"Black Tree Party?"
