king of the castle

Chapter 212

"My lord, the enemy is too strong. We are no match for them at all!" A bloodied horse thief ran up to Jason in embarrassment and said with a mournful face, "Why are there only ten people? They have three hundred, no...at least five hundred People! And they are all experienced veterans, we are going to attack them, we are going to die!"

The other horse thieves who had escaped also nodded in agreement. Many of them still looked in the direction of Roger and the others with lingering fear. If they hadn't known that the enemy was all infantry and it was impossible to catch up to them, these terrified horse thieves would I'm afraid he had already hit his horse and galloped away. 【】

The horse thieves have always bullied caravans with little combat effectiveness. They were used to fighting with the wind and suddenly encountered such a difficult enemy. When they lost their fighting spirit, the horse thieves did not even show half of their strength. Completely collapsed, and no longer had the courage to attack Roger and others.

Seeing that the surviving subordinates were all staring at him eagerly, Watson knew that he must give these people an explanation, otherwise it would be difficult for him to gain their trust in the future, and it would not be so easy for him to work hard in the future.

As the leader of the crowd, Watson certainly would not admit that he had made any mistakes in this matter.He coldly glanced at Aken who was silent beside him, and suddenly shouted: "Aken, didn't you say that the other party has only ten people? Why did you give us false information, why did you frame everyone like this!?"

Watson's words drew everyone's attention to Akon. The malicious eyes of the horse thieves made this guy turn pale with fright, and he couldn't even utter a word.Aken's frightened appearance, in the eyes of the horse thief, just showed that he really had a ghost in his heart, and many people were already eager to surround him, intending to kill this traitor who ate inside and outside.

"It has nothing to do with me. It was Mr. Jason who asked me to report!" Aken managed to muster up the courage to defend himself, but found that no one believed it.Feeling that his life was at stake, he couldn't care about anything else, he turned his horse and galloped towards Kent Town.

The horse thieves clamored after seeing this, and Watson unhurriedly took off the short bow on his back, aimed at Akon's back and shot a deadly arrow.

Aken also heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, and he quickly lowered his body to avoid the arrow.But Watson used grudge when shooting an arrow, and the sharp arrow was extremely fast and powerful.Before Aken could move, he felt a pain in his back, and all the strength in his body disappeared in an instant.He lowered his head instinctively, and found a cluster of arrows protruding from his chest, only then did he realize that the arrow just now had shot through him.

Aken staggered on the horse and ran a few more steps, then fell to the ground with a crooked body.His eyes were fixed on the direction of Kent Town, and before he died, he didn't understand why the caravan with only a dozen people suddenly became so powerful.

"The traitor Akon has been killed by me, and he deserves death!" Knowing that this is a good opportunity for him to regain his prestige, Watson raised his short bow and said loudly: "Anyone who opposes us will have no good. In the end, let's go back to repair for a few days, and then come back to settle accounts with these people!"

Even the dullest horse thief could tell that Watson was only talking nicely.What is said like "go back to repair for a few days and then come back for revenge", to put it bluntly, it means that if you can't beat the opponent, you can only run back in despair.Come to revenge after a few days, would people be so stupid to wait for a few days in this kind of place?

But all the horse thieves were frightened by Roger, and they agreed with Watson's self-deception, and shouted loudly.

"Yes, go back and rest for a few days before coming back to settle accounts with them!"

"I walked in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I didn't have the energy to fight!"

"Let these people be proud for a few days, and then I will come back and kill them all!"

The horse thieves shouted more and more complacently. In the end, they really thought that they were the winners of the battle. The reason why they stopped attacking was just to let Roger and others live for a few more days.

After some shouting, the horse thieves felt much better, and returned along the original road under the leadership of Watson.Although the attack suffered heavy losses, except for Watson who felt very unhappy because of the loss of strength, the other horse thieves quickly put the fiasco behind them.After all, they were not the ones who died in battle, as for the others, they died.

It's just that the horse thieves retreating to the south didn't notice that there were two hippogryphs hovering high above their heads.They keep an eye on the horse thieves on the ground and report their movements to Roger.

At this time, Roger, who stayed on the hillside, was directing his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.These horse thieves came out to rob and kill people, so naturally they didn't bring any good things with them.The so-called cleaning the battlefield means that if there are horse thieves or war horses who are not dead, they will go up and make up for them to end their pain.

For Roger's soldiers, doing such a thing is very familiar.It didn't take long before there was no living horse thief around, and Roger also gained a lot of soul power.

These horse thieves were murderers without batting an eyelid, and no one knew how many caravan members died in their hands, so no one raised any objection to Roger's practice of not keeping any prisoners.Even Bonnie felt that Roger was doing the right thing. If these desperadoes were left alive, it was unknown how many people would suffer from them in the future.

"The horse thieves have retreated south." Roger received a message from the Hippogryph and began to assign new tasks to others: "Bonnie, you take the others back to Kent Town. Jason is not very good in the town." I will attack you, you just need to live with this guy and prevent him from escaping."

"What if this blind guy strikes first?" Chris didn't get a chance to fight in the previous battle, so he couldn't help but asked unwillingly: "In that case, we can always fight back, right?"

"Of course, you don't have to be polite if they do it." Roger's answer made Chris smile with satisfaction.

Roger is not worried about the safety of Bonnie and others.The Kent Town Guard is full of ordinary people with low strength. Only two bronze-level strongmen, Bonnie and Chris, are enough to deal with those guys.What Roger was really worried about were the horse thieves who hadn't been wiped out. These guys were the ones who could really threaten the territory.

Of course Bonnie understood this, and she couldn't help changing her expression at this moment: "Are you going to track down the horse thief alone?"

After hearing what the female knight said, the others also looked at Roger with concern. Although they strictly abided by their duties as subordinates and did not raise any objections to Roger's arrangement, the worried look on their faces could already explain everything.Qi Lisa looked at Roger with tears in her eyes, as if as long as he nodded and confirmed Bonnie's words, the girl would cry immediately.

"Don't worry about me. I just arrived in the territory and haven't enjoyed my life yet." Roger threw a comforting smile at Lisa, and then said with confidence: "So I will definitely not take myself at this time." life to risk!"

Although Bonnie and the others were still a little worried about Roger going after the horse thief alone, but he was the leader of the crowd after all, so everyone obeyed his arrangement.Bonnie and the others left the useless carriage where they were, and rode to Kent Town on horseback.Roger, on the other hand, headed in the opposite direction alone, following the trail left by the horse thief to the south.

In fact, even if Roger didn't have any traces on the ground, he could easily track down the horse thief in front of him.Those hippogryphs circling at high altitude were like remote-controlled human reconnaissance planes, allowing him to keep track of the horse thief's movements anytime and anywhere.

After riding the horse for a certain distance, Roger summoned the Nightmare Beast to walk far behind the horse thief.He was not in a hurry to catch up with and eliminate the remaining horse thieves, but to find out where these guys' lairs were, and then eliminate the threat inside the territory at once.

Although Watson also cautiously sent scouts to fall behind the team to prevent being followed.But Roger did not follow horse thieves in the conventional way at all, and even the most shrewd scouts could not detect that someone was following them.

Roger urged the Nightmare Beast to advance unhurriedly on the barren yellow land in Kent, and by noon it had already stepped out of the area where the magister had cast the forbidden spell.Under the fiery four hooves of the Nightmare Beast, the barren soil gradually became fertile, and green grass poked out from the yellow soil. As Roger continued to move forward, the green grass grew taller, and in front of him there was no In the distance, the outline of a forest has appeared.

This forest is the Green Sea Forest, the largest forest on the Emma Continent.The Green Sea Forest extends southward from the mainland, covering an area almost equivalent to half of the Thorne Kingdom.It is said that this is also the last paradise of the elves. There are many elf tribes living in this forest, and part of the ancient elf knowledge has been passed down.

This forest in southern Kent is actually only a small part of the entire Green Sea Forest.In such a small part, it is said, there lived a tribe of elves.But right now Roger is not interested in these elves. The reason why he came here is naturally because those horse thieves have already entered the forest.

"Is the elf living with a bunch of horse thieves as neighbors?" Roger put the nightmare beast back into the statue, and looked at the many lush trees in front of him and said to himself, "This is really interesting..."

Elves are a race that loves nature and hates all evil things.Because of this, Roger put away the nightmare beast and walked forward, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble when encountering elves.Although he was not afraid of these intelligent creatures living in the woods, but this time he came here to exterminate the horse thieves, so he naturally didn't want to cause trouble.

After hiding the Nightmare Beast statue in the castle warehouse, Roger entered the Green Sea Forest without hesitation.
