Chapter 210 Horse Thief

Roger vaguely recognized that it was the voice of the drunk Jamie, and immediately his expression changed and he rushed out first. 【】When he came outside the bar, he immediately found that the drunk who had just been boastful just now had collapsed in the middle of the road. There was a terrible wound on his chest, and a large amount of blood flowed out from it, forming a bright red pool of blood on the street.The drunk man's hazy eyes were wide open, but they were lifeless, staring at the empty sky without expression.

"Asshole..." Without thinking about who killed the drunk, Roger became more determined to uproot Jason's influence from Kent Town.

The killing of the drunk was obviously Jason's demonstration to Roger, saying that his every move in the town was being watched, and he also warned Roger not to mess around in Kent Town.

"Killed?" Bonnie also came outside the bar at this time, and couldn't help frowning after seeing this scene: "This is a demonstration against us, why don't we go to that Jason now to settle the score!"

"Just be patient for another day." Roger shook his head lightly and said, "It's not difficult to kill this guy, the hard part is to uproot his power here. Otherwise, I will take over the territory, Jason The remnants of the forces will also cause me trouble."

Of course, Bonnie followed Roger's example, and nodded slightly in agreement when she heard the words, and then returned to the bar with him.

That night, Roger and others spent the night in the guest room on the second floor of the bar. Although they were the only guests staying in the bar for more than a month, the bar owner was not happy at all.What happened to Jamie was right in front of his eyes, and anyone knew who had hired someone to do it.The bar owner was very worried that his bar would be set on fire in the middle of the night, turning himself, Roger and others into scorched corpses of house wreckage.

Fortunately, what he was worried about didn't happen. Everything was normal that night, and there was no fire. Roger and others lived well until dawn, and left the bar after a peaceful breakfast.

"So... finally left." The bar owner let out a long sigh of relief as the convoy drove slowly out of the town.He didn't sleep all night last night, for fear that a single negligence would cost him his life.

This time Bonnie did not sit in the carriage, but rode side by side with Roger on horseback.The female knight glanced at Kent Town, which was getting further and further away, and asked Roger with some concern: "Do you think horse thieves will appear?"

"It will." Roger said with a confident smile to Bonnie: "We will stop on the hillside ahead, I bet we don't have to wait too long, those guys will come to the door."

Of course, Roger said that with confidence. In fact, before the rest last night, he had released all the hippogryphs in the taming ground. On the one hand, he was serving as a security guard, and on the other hand, he was looking for those horse thieves trail.

Not long after leaving the town of Kent, the two hippogryphs in the south had already spotted a large number of cavalry.Except for the horse thieves at Keqikou, there is no such a large cavalry team around here, so Roger chose to face these guys on the top of the hill.

Castle Hub had already reminded Roger that human cavalry were more difficult to deal with than the undead cavalry he had encountered before.Although they don't have the undead's courageous and fearless aura, they are more flexible and maneuverable in battle, looking for all the weaknesses of the enemy and launching targeted attacks.

If fighting the undead cavalry only needs to hold the front line of defense, then fighting the human cavalry must take into account the defense in all directions, and the difficulty of fighting is relatively much greater.Moreover, according to the information sent back by the Hippogryph, there are quite a few of these horse thieves, at least 200 of them.So Roger will definitely not be careless, so as not to cause irreversible consequences.

Roger asked the crowd to line up five carriages facing the direction of the cavalry, and at the same time move out all the goods in the carriages and put them on the two wings to help defend.The so-called goods loaded in the carriage were actually things like wood and stone prepared by Roger to deal with the cavalry. Although they could not be compared with formal fortifications, they could at least delay the cavalry's attack.

Sandwiched between the carriage and these temporary fortifications were some gaps deliberately left by Roger.These gaps are enough for a galloping horse to pass through, don't be empty now, but they will be guarded by iron spear soldiers and long sword fighters during the battle, which is definitely a deadly trap for unsuspecting cavalry.

In order not to let Jason have any scruples about doing it, Roger brought a total of ten people this time, and it took a lot of effort to arrange these simple fortifications.Even Lisa, a little girl, was helping. It took a long time for everyone to move the wood and stones into place.

Not long after the fortifications were completed, a large number of figures on horseback appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the horse thieves had arrived.

Aken rode beside Watson, the leader of the horse thieves, and said impatiently: "My lord, although the caravan is not big, the two women in it are really beautiful. Mr. Jason has already said that as long as you don't Play them badly, we can do whatever we want."

As the captain of the guard in Kent Town, Akon didn't feel ashamed at all when he called a horse thief like Watson the "chief". On the contrary, he was full of flattery.From this point alone, the so-called captain of the guard has lost even the most basic sense of shame.

Watson was very satisfied with Aken's attitude towards him, patted him on the shoulder and said complacently: "There is no suspense for so many of us to deal with only ten people. now you."

"Hey... Thank you, sir." Aken thanked Watson gratefully. Although he could not be ranked first, he was very satisfied with being ranked second.

"Boss, there are people on the hill ahead." A horse thief turned back from the front and reported to Watson: "The other party seems to have formed a fortification with five carriages. I don't know how many people there are."

"It must be that caravan!" Hearing the news, Aken immediately said excitedly: "That caravan has five carriages, and as for the number of people... there will never be more than ten people!"

Bie Hua grew up bold and unrestrained, but his brother also had a very cautious character. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Have you already used carriages to form fortifications? Did they already know that we would come?" ?”

"Maybe it's because we have a lot of people, so they discovered the dust first." Aken's thoughts were all on the two beautiful girls, so he curled his lips so-called: "So what if they have fortifications? Can ten people hold it?"

Aken's words made Watson no longer worried. He believed that his own brother would not lie to him. Aken dared not lie to himself, so he immediately raised his hand and ordered loudly: "Attack the hillside, kill all the men, and keep the women!"

"Kill all the men, keep the women!" The horse thieves repeated Watson's order, yelling and driving their horses towards the hillside not far away.
