Chapter 1188, Killing
The reason why Ren Xiaosu and the others chose this mountain path was because it was gradually forgotten after the smugglers disappeared.
However, this matter has to be thought of the other way around: if you want to take the most hidden path in the middle of the battlefield, the enemy’s infiltration force will also think so ……
Normally, if a seasoned military commander is present, he will tell Ren Xiaosu: don’t be so presumptuous as to take any trails.
Because the army will definitely be more precise than the smugglers when they are mapping the map, and the paths that even the smugglers know, the enemy army will definitely know as well.
No matter how corrupt an army or dynasty you’re facing, don’t take the other side for fools in the first place.
Of course, if P5092 is here, he will give Ren Xiaosu a very different answer: go the way you want to go on the line, anyway, no one can block you, how you want to go as you go, there may be another gain ……
This is probably the difference between knowing and not knowing Ren Xiaosu.
Qian Weining looked at Ren Xiaosu: “My lord, do you think the enemy will come through the mountain road?”
“It should be,” Ren Xiaosu nodded: “Otherwise the Haidongqing wouldn’t have flown here, before the disaster there were hunters who simmered falcons, and before hunting he would put the falcons out to scout the road for himself so as not to encounter fierce beasts such as brown bears, and I think this Tudor family’s Haidongqing should be for this kind of use as well. ”
“If it’s the Tudor family’s vanguard unit, then the Knights coming over this time will have at least six hundred people, of which a large portion should be light cavalry with bows and crossbows as their main weapons, while the rest are gun cavalry for charging into battle,” Qian Weining forced himself to calm down and said, “The most important thing is that this kind of infiltration unit are all will be equipped with five sorcerers.”
He was a knight of the Berkeley family, and Berkeley had been taking the Tudor and Norman families as imaginary enemies for sixty years, so a qualified knight of the Berkeley family would have to know how the enemies he faced operated in war.
And right now, the knights led by Channing were but 191, plus himself was 192.
Moreover, they only had weapons and no armor.
If the two armies encountered each other in this situation, Qian Weining and his men would die without a chance of survival.
Therefore, Qian Wei Ning was still a bit flustered inside, and he looked at Ren Xiaosu, wanting to ask this newly loyal master what he should do.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at QianWeiNing: “You guys continue to study, stay focused.”
Qian Weining: “Ah?”
“Don’t worry, they can’t get through,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smirk, “Now you guys might have some speculations about my power, but there’s always a need to help deepen some of your impressions before you can do so, and that’s the basis of mutual trust.”
Qian Weining and the others looked at each other in dismay, looking at the enemy’s cavalry about to arrive, but as a result Ren Xiaosu told them to study …… well
This feeling was too strange, it was as if they were cut off from the real world ……
At this time instead, Mei Ge sighed, “Come on, everyone continue to learn the Sorcerer’s Language from me, I was just as terrified as you all at first, but you see, I’m used to it now.”
Ren Xiaosu cast an appreciative glance at Mei, while Li Fruit and Liu Ting, the two sheepmen, lowered their heads and looked resigned to their fate.
“My lord, are you going to deal with those cavalrymen now?” Qian Weining curiously said.
“Me?” Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “I don’t need to make a move.”
For a while, Ren Xiaosu became more and more mysterious in everyone’s eyes, and everyone suddenly remembered the rumors in Winston City: there were a total of three people who raided Winston Manor, and one of them with a white mask didn’t even fear sorcery.
And now, that white mask never appeared.
When it was time for Qian Wei Ning and the others to attend class, Ren Xiaosu roasted mutton and ate it on the side, leisurely as if nothing was wrong.
Suddenly Ren Xiaosu sat up straight, this action startled Qian Weining and the others who were already worried, “What’s wrong my lord?”
“O, nothing,” Ren Xiaosu waved his hand to Qian Weining, while he looked towards Li Chenggong and Liu Ting and said tentatively, “You two see the 178 characters on the sheep’s buttocks, as far as I know, all the sheep belonging to the 178 fortress have to be branded with this on their buttocks, just to differentiate them from the other herders’ sheep, earlier on, there were always herders stealing the sheep, but the sheep were not as good at this. In earlier years there were always herders stealing sheep.”
Li Fruit and Liu Ting’s faces changed greatly, but no one said anything.
Ren Xiaosu endured a smile and asked, “Do you two …… know about this?”
“Don’t know!” Li Fruit stood up in panic, “How could we possibly know about this!”
Liu Ting, who was on the side, almost shed tears of humiliation ……
Qian Weining and Chen Jingshu, they were a bit unsure, but it was Mei Ge who instantly understood Ren Xiaosu’s meaning, he hesitated for half a day before he said to Li Fruit and Liu Ting, “I’m sorry that I didn’t know about this before, I’m aggrieved that you guys have been wronged ……”
Qian Weining and the others were dumbfounded as they listened, why were they suddenly talking about this kind of thing at this time when they weren’t discussing how to deal with the cavalry?
They simply didn’t know that Li Fruit and Liu Ting had also been sheep for quite a while and were mixed in the flock of the 178th Fortress.
……
On the northern mountain road, a forward force of eight hundred men was rapidly infiltrating over.
Horses’ hooves trampled on the mountain road and made a dull sound, the hooves of the horses were all wrapped in a thick layer of cowhide, and each horse’s mouth also held a wooden stick, so as to prevent the horses from suddenly neighing on the way.
This cavalry was the elite of the Tudor family, even if they marched at night, their formation was not at all chaotic.
Every once in a while, the soldier riding at the front would slow down slightly, and then other colleagues would take over to break the wind.
The so-called wind-breaking was to reduce the wind resistance for the warhorses behind, so that the leading horses would not be exhausted alive.
When the crossbowmen rode, their right hands were always on the handles of the machine crossbows at their waists, in case someone suddenly ambushed them.
Among them, six sorcerers were escorted by the knights in the midst, and behind them, dozens of kilometers away, there was also a team of sorcerers from the camp that had been temporarily sent to support them.
With such combat strength, there was certainly no need to put Qian Weining’s hundred or so people in their eyes, even if there was still a sorcerer like Meggo in the team, the same would not work.
In the middle of the march, there were more than ten people in the cavalry formation with a short copper whistle in their mouths, and when the whistle sounded, it was as if there were larks chirping in the ranks, and only the members of the Knights of the Tudor Order were able to understand the meaning of the sound of the whistle.
The whistles were so shrill that even in the midst of a battle they were not masked by other voices, and the Tudor Knights used this means to communicate their orders.
Especially in the chaos of large-scale war, the officers to pass the order of the bird chirps converge and intertwine together, no longer as gentle as the lark, but rather harsh like the sea of the green chirping.
Just at this moment, the originally quiet front of the vanguard suddenly came out of the copper whistle made bird call, one after another bird call to the back of the pass over, the entire vanguard troop a time all the horses do not go forward.
Everyone was quiet and solemn as they looked at the way to go, and the hundreds of them looked exceptionally spectacular as they went from extreme movement to extreme silence.
Everyone surveyed towards the front, on their way to the road stood a figure with a white mask, slowly drawing a black blade from nothingness.
The man at the head of the Tudor Knights at the front blew the copper whistle in his own mouth, and they did not charge directly at Lao Xu, instead they began to slowly close in.
Cavalry when traveling fast was like a long dragon, as long as the number of parallel people was small, they could pass through the mountain road more quickly.
Now, on the other hand, they contracted together for better defense!
There was only one enemy, but that St. Tudor Knight in this forward unit thought that if the other party didn’t have a full head of steam, how could they possibly block their way alone?
The other party obviously already knew how many men they had and how much fighting power they had, yet the other party still stopped here.
This was the sense of crisis, the Knight of St. Tudor felt a strong sense of crisis.
At this moment, the stars were shining brightly overhead, and the string moon was hanging straight up in the sky like a silver-white scimitar.
While changing formation, the St. Tudor Knights blew their brass whistles sharply, and in an instant, a retreating team of crossbowmen pulled the triggers on their horses, and an arm-length crossbow arrow shot towards Lao Xu.
However, somehow everyone’s eyes blurred, and by the time they reacted, they had already lost sight of Lao Xu in their vision!
The Knight of St. Tudor was shocked inwardly, this was too fast!
At the next moment, a black blade seemed to burst out of the night, diagonally swiping across the St. Tudor knight’s horse and the knight’s body from the bottom up.
The warhorse was decapitated, while the knight was cut off at the waist, clattering blood splashed in the night sky, no one could tell if it was horse blood or human blood.
……
Qian Weining and the others were following Xiao Mei as she recited, “ABCDEFG ……”
As a result, before the letters of this sorcerer’s language were even finished, they suddenly saw the distant sky being illuminated by something.
“Witchcraft?” Qian Weining rose from the ground in shock.
Immediately afterward, the sky over there was constantly flickering with light as if someone was setting off fireworks.
However, Qian Weining’s and their vision was all blocked by the short mountains, so they couldn’t see what was really going on at all.
“The sorcery should still be far away from us, so we can’t hear the shouting and killing,” Qian Weining judged with his own experience, he put his index finger up, squinted one eye and compared it to the ratio of the mountain peaks to his index finger, and without knowing how to calculate it he opened his mouth and continued, “Confirmed, it should be three kilometers away from We still have like three kilometers to go.”
After saying that, Qian Weining then looked at Ren Xiaosu, wanting to ask what to do.
Instead, he saw that Ren Xiaosu had his eyes closed and seemed to have fallen asleep.
“Should we wake up your lordship?” Qian Weining asked Meigo.
Before Mei Ge could answer, Ren Xiaosu spoke up, “Continue studying for another half an hour before resting as a group, and continue the journey in the morning.”
After saying that, Ren Xiaosu didn’t pay any more attention to Qian Weining and the others.
Qian Wei Ning sighed inwardly, perhaps this is the real big brother, any danger can be so frank and calm.
However, Qian Wei Ning was also sure of one thing: there were indeed people secretly guarding around their team, but there was just no way to determine exactly how many people there were.
That night, not a single knight had rushed to the camp, and the short mountain two kilometers away was like a tough barrier, keeping all the killing behind it.
Qian Weining had not slept a wink, the first battle last night was over quickly, but the second battle broke out shortly afterward.
To be honest, it was actually impossible for a normal person to sleep well in this environment, Ren Xiaosu was able to sleep, and that was because Ren Xiaosu was abnormal!
In the early morning, Qian Weining and Mei Ge walked out of their tents with dark circles under their eyes, they rolled up their waterproof canvas sewn tents and hung them on the asses of their respective horses.
Ren Xiaosu greeted them in a refreshed manner, “Good morning, why do they all look so listless.”
Qian Weining hesitated for half a day and suddenly asked, “My lord, what exactly happened last night, are we safe?”
“Safe, of course safe,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “As for what happened, you’ll be able to see it later.”
As soon as he said that, Xiao Mei Xiao Qian Xiao Shu Xiao An Xiao Cheng all became curious.
The events of last night were confusing in everyone’s minds, and if they couldn’t find out the truth, I’m afraid they would die of anxiety.
In the morning, after a quick meal, everyone set off immediately, and when they turned down a winding mountain road, the smell of blood on the ground in front of them subdued everyone.
Even the warhorses were unwilling to go any further.
Broken bows and crossbows were scattered all over the ground, and the blood spattered on the rocks was like someone had drawn a heavy landscape ink with a brush.
Qian Weining was experienced in combat, so he only slightly surveyed the battlefield before concluding, “At least 800 people are dead!”
Looking over in more detail, he also saw more than a dozen corpses wearing sorcerer’s robes, and on the sleeves of the black sorcerer’s robes, there was also an embroidered pattern of Haidongqing.
It was just that the originally supposedly white Haidongqing had also been dyed crimson by blood.
In one night, the vanguard troops sent by the Tudor family to the south were all dead, and the two batches of wizards were all dead as well.
Sparing the soldiers of the Burning Knights who had seen great storms, seeing this scene also made their hearts a little hairy, and the most crucial thing was that they didn’t even know who actually did this.
“My lord,” beloved Yao Bo came to Qian Wei Ning’s side and whispered, “I looked, here out of the hoofprints and Tudor knights’ footprints aside, there is only one person’s footprints ……”
Yao Bo was a notorious tracker and ambusher in the team, with meticulous observation and strong analytical skills.
And these Tudor knights wore standard boots that were very recognizable, so trying to distinguish the footprints in this battlefield was not a difficult task.
“Do you mean that the deaths of these eight hundred or so people were all the work of one person?” Qian Weining asked with a toothache.
“That’s right,” Yao Bo whispered, “And I just went to observe around, after the Tudor knights were killed and routed, there should have been dozens of people who wanted to escape, and as a result, they ran a few hundred meters in separate directions, but they were still caught up one by one and hacked to death from behind.”
Dozens of people split up to run away, and still managed to be caught up and killed by one person one by one, then what kind of speed must this pursuing person be?
This detail simply couldn’t continue to be scrutinized ah!
Moreover, what Qian Weining found most unbelievable was that at the very moment when this killing was taking place, he himself was still learning the Sorcerer’s Language a few kilometers next door, and was even sampled by Li Fruit, the class representative, to check his class notes ……
Such violent and serene images were only separated by a mountain, as if they were taking place in two worlds.
As for Ren Xiaosu, Qian Weining looked at this new master, and when the other party said it was fine, then it really was fine, and the Tudor Knights infiltration force was decimated in the middle of a conversation.
For a time, Qian Wei Ning was both respectful and fearful of Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu drove his horse forward, “Let’s go, Xiao Qian leads the way.”
Qian Wei Ning followed and asked in a low voice, “My lord, are we going to avoid the Tudor family altogether?”
Previously, Qian Wei Ning had called out as lord, but now he had suddenly changed his address, and it had to be said that the killing had indeed left an extremely deep impression on him.
“Don’t completely avoid it either,” Ren Xiaosu said, “It’s best if we can get the Tudor family to send some people over to hunt us down, so that your Eyes of True Sight can have a place.”
Qian Weining sighed, this was a truly ruthless person.
Xiao Mei walked alongside Ren Xiaosu, “Why are you in such a hurry to go to Ghent City? And why did those bounty hunters suddenly listen to you? You’re from Middle Earth, so you shouldn’t know each other.”
“It’s probably because I have some connection with the organization that this bounty hunter belongs to,” Ren Xiaosu casually explained, “And the reason why I want to go to Ghent City is actually because I want to find out about my own origins.”
Also, he wanted to see what the reward for this quest actually was.
Three of the four clues for the quest had already been found by him, and Ren Xiaosu was looking forward to the day when the quest was completed.
“Body life?” Mego wondered, “Don’t you know where you came from?”
“I don’t know,” Ren Xiaosu smiled, “I woke up from a dark dream, and forgot all about the past. Alright, there’s no point in talking about this, I’m curious about what that childhood friend of yours is like?”
Mei Ge thought about it and answered, “She …… is dazzling.”
“I heard you say that the Tudor family considered her to be a rare sorcerer’s genius, that’s why they let the family’s son marry her,” Ren Xiaosu said, “How genius?”
“The year she was 17, she brought money to buy the Eye of True Sight, and the first one she bought opened the Eye of True Sight, when it comes to luck, she was truly favored by even the gods,” Xiao Mei sighed, “She tried to learn sorcery, and as a result, the person in charge of teaching her sorcery found that after practicing in the world of meditation for only a hundred times , then she was able to unleash sorcery in the real world.”
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Is this what is known as giftedness?”
“Yes,” Xiao Mei nodded, “And this talent is reflected in every aspect, for example, her meditation world is extremely large, and it is said to contain a cross longsword as majestic as a mountain. This means that she will have a much stronger mental power, while others practice five or six times a day, she can practice thirty times, while others can only become a Grand Sorcerer in ten or twenty years, she may be able to cross that threshold in three or four years.”
Ren Xiaosu was happy, “Then she is really much stronger than you.”
Xiao Mei gave him a blank look, “Can’t you comfort me?”
“Don’t be discouraged, you’re not worse than her,” Ren Xiaosu laughed.
“Oh?” Xiao Mei became interested, “I’m not worse than her?”
“Of course, you have me to help you,” Ren Xiaosu comforted, “This is more useful than her efforts for a lifetime!”
Xiao Mei: “…… Huh.”
“Right, so how did she get married to the Tudor family?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Originally, she should have traveled to the borderlands to be a minor wizard like I am now, however, after the Tudor family discovered her talent, they immediately went to her family to propose marriage,” Mei Ge said, “At that time, my family was already in decline, and their family didn’t dare to mess with the Tudor family, so they agreed to do so. ”
“No wonder the Tudor family wanted to kill you, so it wasn’t a matter of jealousy, but rather, they wanted to make this genius sorcerer step down and be a ‘Tudor family member’,” Ren Xiaosu nodded her head and said.
In this way, Mei Ge instead more like the protagonist template ah: like the person because of extraordinary talent by another family, and then Mei Ge with his own golden finger to kill everything back ……
Meigo spat on the side: “People’s last name is Tudor, not Du.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
……
Inside the city of Winston, House Lord Berkeley was standing quietly on the red carpet of the cathedral, his entire body clad in shiny silver armor.
A fire pot was brought up in front of him, and the flames in the pot were demonic to the extreme, pulsing madly.
The Tudor family was known for their ice cracking technique, while the Berkeley family was known for their song of flames, and it was as if these two families were born to be incompatible, and they had never stopped skirmishing over the years.
Even the Berkeley family’s support of the Winston family was to deal with the Tudor family’s support of the Worth family.
Both sides had mastered the secret arts related to ice and fire, and were constantly delving into their respective paths.
At this moment, the Berkeley family master holding his own golden eyes, the flames in the fire pot in front of him gradually turned into the appearance of a human being, the flame tail is the other side of the uneasy and swaying hair, looks weird and mysterious.
The person in the fire bowl opened his mouth and said, “The Tudor Knights’ vanguard troops have been killed through, the other party is continuing to move northward, sticking to the Tudor Knights’ range of activities.”
“Losses in the Tudor family?” House Lord Berkeley asked.
“The loss of twelve wizards, including a rookie who had just been promoted to Grand Wizard, along with their twelve Eyes of True Sight also disappeared,” the one in the flames replied.
This fire bowl and flame was the way the Berkeley family transmitted information.
This method of transmission was relatively convenient, as long as there was a fire you could communicate with each other, and compared to the Tudor family’s method, the biggest advantage was that it didn’t cost a son.
At that moment, the Berkeley family head was in an extremely good mood.
That distant friend of the King’s hadn’t lied to him, as long as he got the Tudors to mess with that teenager, that teenager would have weakened the Tudors for himself.
Humans were so strange, although the Berkeley family lord had also suffered a great loss on Ren Xiaosu, when he realized that the Tudor family had also begun to suffer, he was able to forget much of his past anger, and could not even wait for his enemy, Ren Xiaosu, to live a little bit longer before he bumped into the Tudor family lord so early.
That way, Ren Xiaosu could continue to hurt the Tudor family.
In the eyes of the Berkeley family lord, although Ren Xiaosu was powerful, if the Tudor family lord was prepared, Ren Xiaosu was not an opponent.
He said to the person in the flames, ”You are careful to hide your tracks and notify me as soon as you have news, in addition, if there is a chance to prompt the Tudor family to become enemies with this group, I will include you in the genealogy. When you die, your soul can return to the Kingdom of God.”
The man in flames got excited, “This is my honor.”
House Master Berkeley decided to end the conversation, “The Flame is with you.”
“The flame is with you.”
After saying this, the firepot burst into a cloud of sparks and the figure inside disappeared without a trace.
The flames returned to their previous agitated appearance, as if nothing had happened.
