Chapter 553: Sneak Attack (6600 Supplements)

In Wu Ming's previous life, there were many myths and legends about the West. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

One of the most attractive is the variety of alien races.

Beautiful and proud elves, stubborn and passionate dwarves, short and intelligent halflings, mysterious and beprising krakens, but also dryads, trolls, ogres......

Now that he has come to a world similar to Western mythology, he is naturally very interested in them.

The town of Nahnia and even the entire plain of the wind and fireflies are all areas under human rule, and he has never seen any alien race, and even some ambiguous news has been heard from the bard's mouth, and he does not know whether it is true or not.

In the simple hearts of many townspeople, as long as there is a slight difference in appearance from them, and the living habits are very different, it is an outlier.

Like the real savages who live in the wasteland, they are savage and murderous, uncivilized, and even retain the tradition of eating their own kind, and in the small town of Niah, they are called ogres.

Wu Ming strongly suspected that the legend of the ogre in the mouth of those bards was processed in this way.

Of course, there are dragons and serpents, but they cannot be described by imagination alone, but must have similar creatures that inspired the poets.

The next day, in the light of morning, Knight Thakur urged the people to set off.

After walking for three days in a row, the surrounding environment became more desolate and savage, and the figure of the wolf was faintly visible in the bushes, and there were even beasts with red eyes that dared to attack the team directly.

Naturally, they were besieged by a few soldiers and turned into dinner for the day, but the other covert threats were unguardable.

For example, well-hidden poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, or even unclean water sources.

The harsh environment, which led to non-combat attrition, has increased today to three.

Fortunately, there was no unlucky guy who died, otherwise the morale of the team would have collapsed.

"Set up camp! All the captains come to me! ā€

Thakur looked at the sky, it was still late for sunset, but he had already reached his destination.

All the captains were also aware of it, and their eyes were slightly hot, as if they were carrying flames.

"You're all here!"

Sitting on a rock, holding a giant sword in both hands, Thakur looked at the four people gathered around and nodded slightly.

The three people who came were the squad leaders of the guards, the blonde Arthur was also among them, and the last one was naturally Wu Ming.

In other words, in Thakur's heart, twenty mercenaries are barely worth the strength of a ten-man guard team.

Thakur's voice was vicissitudes, but it was sonorous: "I think you all guessed or heard the news from all sides...... Not bad! This is very close to our goal this time! ā€

He looked around and said in a low voice: "It was a village of tax evaders and serfs, and there were three hundred of them!" Women, the elderly, and children are all included...... Our task this time is to destroy it, to make up for the taxes owed by the tenant farmers, to put the escaped serfs back in the shackles, and of course, to make our pockets swell a little! ā€

Just one sentence, immediately let Wu Ming know that the so-called knightly virtues in his previous life were basically deceitful.

Although there may be such noble knights in this world, but more often than not, it is the kind of Thakur who acts according to orders, and once he identifies the enemy, he has no mercy or mercy.

"Three Hundred ......"

Another big man wrung his hands a little uneasily: "Then they have at least fifty to sixty adults......

Thakur glanced at him disapprovingly: "Fifty peasants who don't even have cloth armor, but can only wield sticks and stones!" Tell me, Joseph, are you afraid? ā€

"It's not! Of course not! Knight, I'm just ...... I just ......"

Joseph hesitated, muttering under his breath, but said nothing more.

"Excellent! Now the whole team rests, and when it is night, we will sneak over and attack! It would be an easy parade victory! ā€

Knight Thakur concluded.

With fifty heavily armed elite soldiers, there will naturally be no accidents to attack a village, and there will be a night attack, if it goes well, I am afraid that there will not even be a few casualties.

Obviously, if it were a hard bone that would have caused heavy casualties, Baron Terry would not have sent Knight Takur out.

It was Wu Ming, who still had doubts in his heart when he announced the knight's order and watched his subordinates cheering.

"The news...... Where the hell did it leak from? ā€

And ...... Who provided the route to the wasteland? ā€

It's a pity that he is just an ordinary mercenary captain, and he is not qualified to ask Thakur about such secrets and participate in big things.

Therefore, Wu Ming could only call Joey, Andrew, Henry, and his four mercenaries, and solemnly advised: "In tonight's action, try to follow me closely, and don't leave the team without permission, understand?" ā€

"Understand ......"

The voice was uneven, and there was even more dissatisfaction, which made Wu Ming hear disapproving emotions.

He was well aware of the discipline of the gang underneath, and it was clear that when it came time to fight for the spoils, they would not care about the captain of the team, and perhaps some of them would forget the warning now.

'But whatever, if they want to die, let them die......

Wu Ming's face was solemn, but he looked around indifferently in his heart, looked at everyone's faces with different expressions, and thought lightly.

……

The moonlight is hazy.

Tonight's moonlight is a little scarlet, filled with an ominous aura.

In the darkness, a wave of troops was very demoralized and groped their way forward.

Wu Ming wore a suit of iron-inlaid armor, made of fine cooked cowhide, and inlaid a few pieces of iron in key parts, his defensive power was one level higher than that of ordinary leather armor, a stainless steel long sword was pinned to his waist, and he also carried a longbow on his back, fully armed.

As a captain, there are naturally some privileges, and in the eyes of others, it is also a matter of course.

Inspired by the lure of the loot and the pre-war jerky broth, even this wave of mercenaries showed excellent qualities at this time, covering swords and all other glowing items, and marched forward by the moonlight.

The road in the dark was more difficult than in the day, and when the moon climbed into the middle of the sky, the front team suddenly stopped, and immediately word of mouth brought the latest order of the Knight of Thakur: "Rest in place!" ā€

Wu Ming's heart sank, and he immediately knew that his destination was close at hand.

He bowed down, slowly stepped forward, and turned to the front of the group, and a small village suddenly appeared in front of him.

It sits in the middle of two low hills, with a river flowing slowly behind it, and in front of it there are several simple wooden buildings and a fence.

This simple fortification still made Wu Ming's heart feel terrible, there were obstacles on three sides, and the only access was blocked, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And, whether you are prepared or not, the corresponding difficulty is another matter.

Above the wooden building, there are faint lights and figures, and there are obviously special people patrolling and guarding.

The living environment of the wild people is even worse than that of the people, they face more dangers, and their vigilance is very high.

Half an hour later, Knight Thakur ordered the whole team to be on guard, and with a wave of his hand, several nimble black shadows sneaked their way towards the wooden building.

Wu Ming squinted slightly.

In the moonlight, he could see these black shadows nimbly relying on obstacles and darkness to hide their figures, slowly touching the bottom of the wooden building, climbing up without making a sound, obviously excellent scouts.

When the shadow touched the top of the tower, a confident smile appeared on Knight Thakur's face.

Shout!

But suddenly, a bone arrow came from nowhere, and the scout screamed, and it fell to the ground with a loud cry in the silence of the night.

Exclamations and shouts kept coming, and from the wooden building there was a loud sound of beating the leather drum.

"Damn...... There is a dark whistle! ā€

The knight of Thakur spat fiercely on the ground, looking at the village that was already in turmoil, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still gave an order: "Attack!" ā€

"Charge!"

The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward in one go, and Thakur took the lead, because of the terrain and secrecy, he did not ride a horse, but he had already put on the knight's heavy armor, and suddenly let out a loud shout, and the two-handed giant sword slashed down on the head, smashing open the fence.

"It's the lackeys of those lords!"

"Ironclad!"

"Kill them!"

……

There were shouts from inside the village, and from almost every house, big men with weapons rushed out, and a large number of arrows were shot from the shadows.

The arrowheads were dull and pale in the moonlight, and they were made of bone.

Knight Thakur was wearing armor, and this arrow naturally had no effect in the slightest, and he laughed, and as soon as he jumped forward, his heavy sword swept away, and several wild people retreated screaming.

Under his leadership, the team broke through the outer defense line and came to the village.

I don't know who lit the torches, and the scorching flames engulfed the planks, the thatch, the houses, and everything around them.

Under the bright torch, Wu Ming suddenly saw all kinds of wild people.

Their appearance was not much different from that of ordinary people, except that they were yellow and thin, and they were dressed in tattered clothes, and at this time, women, old people, and children were armed with wooden sticks and even stones to resist foreign invaders.

When Wu Ming saw this scene, his eyes were indifferent: "The weak eat the strong, this is the law of nature......"

"Lackeys of the Evil Lord!"

In front of him, a middle-aged man with curly hair screamed, brandished an iron axe in his hand, and rushed over.

Wu Ming jumped away, and his figure quickly pulled out the stainless steel long sword at his waist, and with a thrust, the tip of the sword sank into his chest, and the middle-aged man suddenly fell down in disbelief.

"Owo!"

Another wild man rushed forward, holding a sharpened iron sword, clearly trained in swordsmanship.

Wu Ming entangled with him for a few moves, and suddenly a spin, a huge force swung away his sword blade, and blood splattered.

"Whirling Slash!"
