Master Overlord - Chapter 403

After dusk, pace led the team to the East for a long time. They finally arrived at the village marked on the map when the stars shone overhead and the vast wilderness was completely shrouded in night.

Homeg village is very small. Under the starlight, 20 or 30 houses built of stones and thatch are like huge rock shadows. Because of the arrival of the wild people, there was no one living here, and there was no fire in the whole village.

“Get off your horse, this is where we rest tonight!” pace shouted.

The axe on one side jumped off the horse first, came to the house on the other side, kicked the door open, stood still with the axe for a moment, and then walked into the dark house.

More than 300 Knights also dismounted one after another and began to get busy with a clear division of labor.

Most of them rode in pairs. In addition to food for a few days, they also brought blankets and enough weapons.

When pace dismounted and walked to the house, the axe bowed to the ground and lit the fire.

“Little man, don’t fucking stand around. Go get some firewood and let’s burn some hot water.”

The little man looked at the iron pot on the fire rack and said unexpectedly, “it seems that the owner of this house is doing well. He didn’t take the iron pot for soup away. Axe, search around to see if there is anything that can cook soup! It’s better to have a piece of bacon.”

“Bacon?” the axe got up, stared at the little man’s back and shouted, “and the greasy roast pig and maid!”

Pace looked around in the orange light. The long houses were clubbed with five wooden beams, and the thatched roof had two smoke leaking square windows. Under the dim light at both ends, it could be roughly distinguished that the master’s sleeping place was on the left and the barn was on the right.

The accompanying guards also began to be busy, unloading saddles, blankets, weapons and other things from the horse’s back and moving to the house. The axe ordered a man to fetch water, while he searched around the house.

Pace took the map and spread it on a long table near the fire, next to the wooden beam. This is the second night after they left Fengxi city. The wild people should rest on the avenue more than 20 miles southwest.

“Shit, there’s nothing left to eat!” the axe stepped forward and put a handful of rushes on the table. He said regretfully, “boss, I found that the pottery pot was empty, and this guy didn’t leave us any soybeans.”

Rushes is a kind of weed that can be seen everywhere. It is slender in shape and looks like a bamboo stick. After drying, it is wrapped with a layer of grease for lighting. It’s a poor man’s candle.

“It’s good to have an iron pot with boiling water. You really want to find something.” pace took out a rush and lit it on the fire and continued to look at the map.

“That broken black pot is not as good as my helmet.” the axe turned out several rough wooden bowls and interrupted later to soak the bread in hot water.

“Boss, look what I found!” the little man threw the firewood on his shoulder at his feet and came with a snake that had been stripped and skinned and as thick as a child’s arm. “It’s in the woodpile. This guy still wants to escape. I know him directly. Boss, we have snake soup to drink tonight!”

“Cut it into sections and throw it into the pot!” the axe said happily. “I went to get salt. I knew I should bring some pepper. That’s a good soup!”

“I knew?” the little man seemed to seize a rare opportunity and immediately said sarcastically, “I knew I would open a hotel here and invite some chefs from Shanghe town!”

The delicious snake soup added a rare delicacy to the dinner. The three of pace and five other castle guards surrounded the fire and ate it with bread and hard cheese.

“Ha ha, I tell you, it is said that snake meat can make the work as hard as steel and last forever!”

“Shit, we have to put on our pants at night. It’s going to get out of control and all the men in a room will suffer!”

“Pants? Bang!” the little man patted the axe beside him and shouted at the man opposite, “do you think pants can stop it? Look at our axe master. I tell you, stay away from him at night. You’d better protect your * * with your hands!”

“Little man, you’re talking nonsense. I’ll chop you with an axe!”

……

Beside the fire, everyone sat on the ground. The atmosphere of talking and laughing seemed to be a pot of wine, but pace felt that the tone of these guys around him was indulgent, and the topics of talking and laughing were deliberately avoided the war and family.

“Boss, do you think we can finish it tomorrow?” finally, when a pot of hot soup was about to run out, the little man asked a question that haunted everyone’s mind.

“Of course!” pace looked at the faces that were orange red by the fire, which were members of his harassing team. “Don’t we exist just for this moment? Otherwise, why do we train hard! There are our families in Fengxi City, which is our responsibility and mission.”

Before leaving the city, pace asked everyone to say goodbye to his family. He also hugged Jenny, his sister and his father.

Jenny kissed him tearfully, as if saying goodbye; Eugenie was reluctant to give up and hugged him; His father’s eyes were full of worry and anger.

But it’s his responsibility!

“Grass!” after some silence, the axe said angrily to the little man, “what fucking bird question do you ask! If you’re afraid, you’ll stay behind me!”

“You’re afraid! We’re going to harass and follow you. Don’t we die faster!” the little man knew he asked a bad question, then looked at the people and joked, “Alas, you know, if I die, many girls in the city will lose their money. How can I bear to make them sad.”

“Girl?” one man said in surprise, “when did the axe become a girl?”

“Hahaha, that’s right! You can’t stop your pants!”

“Shit, I’ll send you bastards on the road now!”

……

At noon the next day, pace, who had drawn up the evacuation route, led the surprise team to approach the wild people quickly.

The surprise attack team consists of hundreds of people. All of them are wearing only lock armour and holding bows and arrows. The horses under the crotch are carefully selected and excellent war horses with excellent endurance and express delivery.

On the way to retreat, there were also more than 200 accompanying knights from major families in the north and a small number of free riders, all of whom volunteered to follow pace to the war.

“See the giant!” far away, the axe saw the giant’s hill like body.

When attacked from the rear, the wild people react the slowest, have the least pursuers to deal with, and can delay the longest.

“Stay in formation!” pace shouted and ordered, and the well-trained cavalry team immediately lined up to run.

Soon, their appearance was discovered by the giant, and dozens of wild people on horseback immediately rushed towards them in the direction of the giant’s fingers.

“Turn the horse’s head!” pace gave an order, and the two heralds sounded almost at the same time. The team of 100 people immediately turned around the horse, pulled out feather arrows and turned around to shoot.

The wild people who had not yet understood the situation fell off their horses one after another. After the second round of shooting, only a few wild people fled in a hurry.

“Retreat!”

Almost at the same time that pace and others kicked the horse and flew, a loud horn came from behind. Before they ran too far, a large group of wild people roared after them.

“Boss, they’re coming!” the axe pulled the reins in one hand and the bow and arrow in the other, and turned to look back. “Now we’ve poked a beehive, at least hundreds of people!”

“Come on, come on!” the little man shouted, “look at me shooting them into hedgehogs!”
