Master Overlord - Chapter 413

Pace and others who quickly withdrew from the town quickly stopped the horses in a wide area, turned around and re lined up, rode in front, and watched the movement of the town and around.

The axe pulled out the crossbow and arrow on his arm and threw it to the ground. He looked at pace on the horse’s back.

“Boss, what’s the origin of these guys? Why did they ambush and attack us? Damn, it’s lucky they didn’t go deep into the town, otherwise they would all die here today!”

“Mercenaries, they are mercenaries!” said the little man fiercely. “Their clothes look like mercenaries, and I see some familiar faces!”

“Mercenaries? Those guys have crossbows, arrows and bows in their hands, and they are definitely good goods. When did the mercenaries become so rich?” they were in a hurry to retreat, and the axe didn’t have time to pay attention to the appearance of the enemy.

“That’s the fucking problem!” the little man said gnashing his teeth. “These guys are not only equipped with a lot of longbows, but also blatantly shouted to kill the boss just now!”

At this time, the guard in charge of counting casualties came to report that they had lost 37 brothers and more than 40 people were injured in the ambush just now. Most of the people who died were members of the harassment team without armour.

After listening to the report, the axe cursed, and the rest of the people were gloomy and depressed. They felt angry and sad for the sacrifice of their companions.

“Boss, I think someone must have leaked our whereabouts!” the axe shouted angrily. “There are traitors in Fengxi city. Shit, someone wants to kill us! These guys don’t look like mercenaries plundering in disorder. There must be some conspiracy! Boss, let’s inform the Baron quickly!”

In the procession, there was still a letter bird flying to windbreak castle.

“Our appearance is a coincidence, and the ambush must be the other party’s temporary intention. Maybe someone leaked the news that we left Fengxi City, but it’s unlikely that anyone would expect us to come to Sishui town.”

Pace looked seriously at the town ahead. Several guards had just been shot to protect him.

“We’d better find out the purpose of these guys first. Such people can’t gather here for no reason. They must have some plans.”

“It’s the Barrett family!” the axe said his guess directly. “No one can command so many mercenaries except him! It must be Ted Barrett. Shit, the Duke shouldn’t be soft hearted! He hasn’t settled with him about ordering mercenaries to chase us!”

The axe shocked the Knights around and looked at him in horror. They had no idea there was such a secret. If the Barrett family is a traitor, then Fengxi city

“Shut up, you fool!” the little man shouted discontentedly at the axe. “This is just our guess. We can’t do anything with it, and the other party is in Fengxi city now!”

Before everyone asked, pace turned to look at the Knights beside him and directly ordered: “you go to count the weapons, gather all the feather arrows and assign them to two teams of ten people. Later, send someone to check from the north and south sides, find out the approximate number and layout of each other, and pay attention to the number of ships at the wharf.”

“Axe.” pace looked at the axe with his injured arm and an angry face. “You take some people to the rear to make a fire and choose some horses to kill.”

Although war horses are precious, they can only kill and eat meat now! At the moment, there are far more horses than soldiers in the team.

The axe and several guards nodded and began to execute the order. More than 200 heavily armored cavalry still lined up facing the town.

Soon, two teams of ten people began to approach the town from north to south. One of the teams going south was holding a telescope and looking at the town and the wharf.

As time passed, a bonfire was lit behind the team, and several war horses had been killed and skinned. Pace and others waiting in line quietly watched the two teams close to the town, ready to meet at any time. But from beginning to end, the enemy in the town did not respond.

About an hour later, two teams of ten rode back from around the town.

“My Lord, those guys have blocked the roads in the town, and there are archers. It seems that they don’t want us to enter the town!”

“The number of ships is unknown. We can’t count how many, but there are at least thirty or forty, which extend to the middle of the river. They should be connected!”

“My Lord, I didn’t see the residents of the town. If they were not killed or fled, they were imprisoned or concentrated along the coast of the town!”

……

After hearing the return from the knights, looking at the Fars family flag still flying in the town, the little man said, “boss, do you think the Fars family will also participate…”

Pace shook his head and interrupted the little man’s guess. “If the Fars family participated in the mutiny, the other party could introduce us into the town and ambush and shoot us. If Javier Fars didn’t die, he should have been imprisoned, but it’s estimated that it’s more or less dangerous…”

“But with so many ships, these guys don’t plan to go to Fengxi city by boat like us? If so, what’s their purpose? Sneak attack? It’s stupid. Or do they form an alliance with the wild people? Or are they going to attack and occupy Fengxi city when the war is over?”

“We have to find a way to stop each other. No matter what their purpose is, it won’t be a good thing!”

“How to stop? These guys are no less than us, and occupy the town. Obviously, they don’t intend to fight us head-on!”

“Surprise attack? Our only advantage is to ride again when we lead them out of the town.”

……

All the people talked loudly and guessed the enemy’s purpose and method of defeating the enemy.

At the same time, the sudden arrival and ambush failure of pace and others in the town also caused a lot of debate.

“Talion, has the letter bird been sent out? When will there be a reply? I don’t want to wait like this.” andregai, the leader of the Jackal mercenary regiment, asked upset.

“Shit, you’ve asked for the third time! Do you think this is shouting at the next door neighbor? I said, there will be news tomorrow as soon as possible! Don’t ask me the same question!”

“What shall we do tonight?” one of the mercenary leaders said, “shall we just guard like this? The guy pace kewilt is outside the city. He just sent someone to investigate. It seems that he is looking for a chance to attack!”

“We should send troops to take the initiative to solve them!” said the old wandering Knight Sebastian Rudy. “Since you didn’t pursue at the first time, the news here may have reached the Duke. Now the only way is to solve that guy!”

“Old man, don’t always be murderous. If you want to kill him, you can go out and shout!” said Viken, leader of the night owl mercenary regiment. “We should wait for news. As long as we keep the town, that guy will die sooner or later!”

“A group of cowards! A few heavy cavalry scared you into a shrinking turtle!”

“Hey, I don’t fucking understand. There’s nothing to argue about,” said the wandering Knight named talion, with his feet on the table in front of him, “Anyway, there will be news tomorrow. Let’s have a good rest, eat and drink, and play with our daughter. We’ll know what to do tomorrow. Sir Rudy, if you can’t help being angry, you can find two more girls!”

“Old man, I hope your work can be as grumpy as your temper!” Enrique laughed, and a burst of laughter came from the house.

Sebastian Rudy snorted coldly, got up and stared angrily at talion. “Boy, you’ve really fallen and become as vulgar and cheap as these guys!” he said, turning away in spite of the public’s reaction.

“Shit, this guy thought he was a noble!”

“Noble master, walk slowly, remember not to be flashed by the little girl!” talion teased each other’s back with a wine cup, which once again attracted a roar of laughter. Then, with a light smile on his face, he raised his glass to invite everyone to drink.
