Master Overlord - Chapter 409
On the wasteland, looking at the wild people cavalry who chased a distance behind them and stopped again, pace and others also stopped the horse slowly.
“Boss, it’s useless.” turning the horse’s head and looking at the enemy in the distance, the axe said angrily, “these bastards must know that we have an ambush. They stop halfway after us, and they all try their best to hurry. The harassment doesn’t work anymore!”
“The situation is a little strange.” the little man on one side also said, “even if they know that we have an ambush, their food should not be so urgent and they should drive almost day and night. If it goes on like this, they can reach the farm outside Fengxi city in two or three days. Boss, can’t the death of Warcraft scare them?”
Looking at the wild cavalry who stopped chasing in the distance, pace was also very helpless.
Since the ghost faced Eagle killed all the Warcraft two days ago, these wild people went crazy.
No matter how they harass them, even if they sneak attack near Mongo TUTA’s camp at night, they can’t make the other party stop encircling them. Every time they just sent a group of cavalry, drove them away and stopped chasing them.
“Shit!” the axe shouted discontentedly, “I’m ready to lose my life and be surrounded by tens of thousands of people. These bastards drive us away as wolves. I don’t know that they think they’re herding sheep! Fuck the wild people!”
“You can try to rush into the sheep alone.” ironically, the little man looked at pace and suggested, “Boss, we might as well return to Fengxi city now. The city gate should not be closed yet. It’s meaningless to continue like this. Moreover, without Warcraft, the war will be very fierce. It may last for several days. The Duke needs people. In addition, we don’t carry much food.”
Looking at the wild people cavalry standing in front, pace said, “the wild people are just backward, not fools. They must have learned our grain consumption intention from our attack. Now they have lost Warcraft. Instead of being attacked by us, they must be eager to start a war early. At least they still have food to attack the city for several days.”
“Boss, according to what you say, didn’t we waste our time? Not only didn’t delay these bastards, but also accelerated their attack on the city. It’s not worth it!”
“You fool!” the little man scolded on the other side, “we let them lose Warcraft. That’s a great achievement! They are eager to go and want to take advantage of the surplus food in their hands so as not to fall into a food crisis after a failed Siege!”
“Shit, we didn’t kill Warcraft, but those ghost faced eagles that suddenly appeared!” said the axe proudly. “If I say, we should find a way to kill those giants. This is a great achievement. Maybe the Duke will reward each of us with a farm!”
“I’m too lazy to talk to you fool. I’ll give you my share if you want the farm!” the little man said discontentedly, continued to watch pace and waited for his decision.
“We can’t kill those giants alone. There’s no need to continue.” pace pulled the reins and turned his horse’s head and decided, “call others first, and then return to Fengxi city as soon as possible!”
……
Two days later, in the early morning, pace led his men and horses from the avenue north of Fengxi city to the town.
For the sake of safety, although they made some long detours, it shouldn’t have taken them so long to reach the town.
All because from yesterday morning, the sky remained clear for more than a month, and suddenly it rained cats and dogs.
If it had not been for the invasion of wild people, the heavy rain would have been a nectar, but now there is no field in the whole Emilia county that needs the heavy rain. On the contrary, they, who are in a hurry to travel through the wilderness, are drenched and slow down.
At the moment, the sky is still drizzling, the team is galloping slowly, and everyone wet feels a little cold. Fortunately, the town is in front, and the dark clouds overhead begin to fade.
“Shit, when I get into the city, I have to drink a cup first to warm up!” the axe complained on the horse’s back.
“It’s better to get the wine from the river. That’s enough!” the little man wiped the rain on his face and added, “in addition, he should wear clean clothes, make a bonfire, a hot soup and some freshly baked bread.”
“Go to sleep after eating and kill the wild people when you get up! Ha ha, that’s a good idea!”
“Lord pace!” just as the axe laughed, the scout in charge of exploring the way rushed from the front, and the horse’s hooves stepped through the puddles on the road and brought a burst of muddy water.
Seeing that the other party looked flustered, pace and others frowned, and they already had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Sure enough, after stopping the horse, the wet scout hissed his eyes and said directly, “Lord pace, we can’t go back! The wild people have reached the farm ahead of us. According to the situation, there are at least thousands of people. Now they are dismantling fences and houses!”
“Damn it!” the little man pounded the saddle bridge under the saddle. “The other party must be wild people’s cavalry. The brigade can’t arrive before us!”
“Boss, are we going to kill it? Before the wild people’s army comes!” the axe grabbed his double-edged axe and asked. The other people also talked about it.
Pace shook his head and said helplessly, “this is the north gate. The wild people can’t have such people. Mengo TUTA must have arrived first, just in the other two places. Now the gate must have been closed, and there is no one to answer. We can’t enter the city. We must think of other ways.”
“What should we do?” said the axe with a headache. “Boss, why don’t we find a forest to take shelter from the rain, and then think of a way. The food is running out.”
“No!” pace raised his voice and looked around at the Knights. “Everybody, cheer up! Now we must turn around and go north to Sishui Town, where we can certainly find food and ships! The war is coming soon, which is the only way for us to enter Fengxi City safely!”
Sishui town is an important town between Fengxi town and Lanhu town. Almost all merchant ships and caravans coming from south to North will stop there for rest.
“Hey, good idea!” the axe hurried happily, “boss, what are you waiting for? Let’s start at once! In this damn weather, we have to arrive at Sishui town at least tomorrow evening. I hope there are hotels along the way.”
The Knights nodded in agreement. Rather than continue to entangle with the wild people here and return to Fengxi city by water, it is undoubtedly the safest way.
“Boss, do you need to inform the Duke of our whereabouts?” the little man asked before leaving. “We also have a letter bird.”
“No, wait until we find enough ships. Who knows what will happen along the way.”
