Overgod Ascension - 554. Chapter 554
In Wu Ming’s previous life, there were many myths and legends about the West.
Among them, the most attractive are all kinds of alien races.
Beautiful and proud elves, stubborn and passionate dwarves, short and intelligent halflings, mysterious and enchanting sea monsters, as well as dryads, trolls, ogres…
Now that he has come to a world similar to Western myths, he is naturally very interested in these.
Nihonia Town and even the entire Fengying Plain are areas under human rule. He has never seen any foreign race, even some ambiguous news, all heard from the bard population, and he still doesn’t know the truth. Fake.
In the simple hearts of many townspeople, as long as they are slightly different in appearance and living habits of foreigners, they are all alien.
It is like the real barbarians active in the wilderness. They are barbaric and ferocious, uncivilized, and even retain the tradition of eating the same kind. In the small town of Nia, they are called ogres.
Wu Ming strongly suspected that the legends of ogres in the bard population were processed in this way.
Of course, there are also giant dragons and giant snakes, but they can’t be described by imagination. They must have similar creatures, which inspired poets.
The next day, when the morning light was faint, the Thakur Knight urged everyone to set off.
After walking for three days in a row, the surrounding environment has become more desolate and barbaric. The figure of the wolf is faintly visible in the bushes, and there are even beasts with red eyes and daring to attack the team directly.
Their fate was naturally besieged by a few soldiers and became the dinner of the day, but other secret threats were beyond defense.
For example, well-hidden venomous snakes, or even unclean water sources.
The harsh environment has led to non-combat attrition, which has increased to three today.
Fortunately, there is no bad luck, otherwise the morale of the team will inevitably collapse.
“Set camp! All the captains come to me to gather!”
Thakur looked at the sky, it was still late to the sunset, but he had reached his destination.
All the captains were equally aware, their eyes were slightly hot, as if they were burning with flames.
“You are all here!”
Thakur was sitting on a rock, holding a giant sword in both hands, looking at the four people around him, and nodding slightly.
The three people who came were the captains of the guards. Blond Arthur was among them, and the last one was naturally Wu Ming.
In other words, in Thakur’s heart, twenty mercenaries barely matched the strength of a ten-man guard squad.
Thakur’s voice is vicissitudes of life, but his sonorous voice: “I think you all guessed it, or heard news from all quarters… Yes! This is very close to our target of crusade!”
He looked around for a week, and his voice was low: “It was a village made up of tax evaders and serfs. There were three hundred people in it! Women, the elderly, and children are all included… Our task this time is to destroy it and let Those tenant farmers who owed taxes made up the master’s tax money and made the escaped serfs put on the shackles again. Of course, it also made our pockets a little swollen!”
Just one sentence, immediately let Wu Ming know that the so-called chivalry virtues in the previous life were basically deceptive.
Although there may also be knights of that kind in this world, but more, I am afraid that Thakur is obedient, and once the enemy is identified, there is no kind and compassionate guy.
“Three hundred people…”
Another big man wringed his hands a little nervously: “Then they have at least fifty to sixty adults…”
Thakur glanced at him dissatisfiedly: “It’s fifty farmers who don’t even have cloth armor and can only wield sticks and stones! Tell me, Joseph, are you afraid?”
“No! Of course not! Lord Knight, I’m just…I’m just…”
Joseph hesitated, murmured, but said nothing.
“Very good! Now the whole team is resting. We will sneak over and launch an offensive in the evening! This will be a parade-like victory!”
Thakur Knight concluded.
With fifty well-armed elite soldiers, to attack a village, naturally there will be no accidents, and night attacks, if it goes well, I am afraid there will be few casualties.
Obviously, Baron Terry would not send out the Thakul Knight if it would cause heavy casualties.
However, Wu Ming still had doubts in his heart when announcing the order of the knight and watching his subordinates cheering for joy.
“Where did this news come from?”
“And…who provided the route of the wasteland?”
Unfortunately, he is just an ordinary mercenary captain, and he is not qualified to ask Thakur for such secrets and participate in major events.
Therefore, Wu Ming could only call Joey, Andrew, Henry, and his four mercenaries, and solemnly exhorted: “Tonight’s actions, try to follow me as closely as possible, don’t leave the team without permission, don’t you understand?”
“clear……”
The voices were uneven, and even with some dissatisfaction, Wu Ming could hear disapproval.
He is very aware of the discipline of the guys below. Obviously, when it comes to fighting for the spoils, they will not care about themselves as the captain at all. Maybe some guys will now ignore the warning.
‘But, don’t care about him, they want to die, just let them die…’
Wu Ming looked solemn, but he looked around indifferently, looking at the faces of the people with different expressions, thinking lightly.
…
The moonlight is hazy.
The moonlight tonight is a little scarlet, full of an ominous atmosphere.
In the darkness, a wave of teams was very motivated, groping forward.
Wu Ming wore an inlaid iron armor made of fine cooked cowhide. Several pieces of iron were inlaid in key parts. The defense force was higher than ordinary leather armor by one level. A stainless steel long sword was pinned to it. He also carried a longbow on his waist, fully armed.
As the captain, naturally there are some privileges, which are justified in the eyes of others.
Inspired by the temptation of trophies and the pre-war dried meat broth, even this wave of mercenaries at this time also displayed their excellent qualities, and they moved forward by the moonlight, covered with swords and other items that would shine.
The road in the dark is more difficult to walk than in the day. When the moon climbed to the middle of the sky, the team in front suddenly stopped, and immediately spread word of mouth with the latest command of the Thakur Knight: “Repose in place!”
Wu Ming’s heart shuddered, and he immediately knew that his destination was within easy reach.
He leaned down, stepped forward slowly, turned over to the front of the team, and a small village suddenly appeared in front of him.
It is located in the middle of two low hills. A river flows slowly from the back. There are several simple wooden buildings and a fence directly in front.
This simple fortification still made Wu Ming’s heart stunned. There were obstacles on three sides here, and the only passage was blocked, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And, whether there are any precautions, 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 worse than that of the leading people, they face more dangers, and they are very vigilant.
Half an hour later, the Thakur Knight ordered the whole team to be on guard, and with a wave of his hand, a few flexible shadows sneaked towards the wooden building.
Wu Ming squinted slightly.
Under the moonlight, he could see these shadows hiding their figure flexibly relying on obstacles and darkness, slowly touching under the wooden building, climbing up without making a sound, obviously they were extremely good scouts.
When the shadow reached the top of the tower, a confident smile appeared on Knight Thakur’s face.
call out!
But suddenly, a bone arrow was shot from nowhere, and the scout screamed, loudly in the silent night, and landed heavily.
Exclamations and loud screams continued to come, and from the wooden building there was a loud sound of beating the drum.
“Damn… there is a secret whistle!”
The Thakur knight spit on the ground fiercely, looking at the commotion in the village, hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still issued the command: “Offensive!”
“charge!”
The soldier who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward. Thakur took the lead. Because of the terrain and confidentiality, he did not ride a horse, but he had put on the knight’s heavy armor. He suddenly yelled, and his two-handed huge sword smashed and smashed his head. Open the fence.
“It’s the running dogs of those lords!”
“The Iron Man!”
“Kill them!”
…
Shouting came from the village, and almost every house rushed out of the big men with weapons, and a lot of arrows were shot from the dark.
The arrow was dull and pale in the moonlight, and it was made of bones.
Knight Thakur was wearing armor, and this arrow had no effect at all. He laughed, jumped forward, and swept the epee, and several wild people screamed and retreated.
Under his leadership, the team broke through the perimeter defense line and came to the village.
I don’t know who lit the torch, and the scorching flame engulfed the surrounding wood planks, thatch, houses, and everything.
Under the bright torch, Wu Ming suddenly saw all kinds of wild people.
Their appearance is not much different from that of ordinary citizens, except that their faces are yellow and thin, and they are wearing tattered clothes. At this time, women, old people, or children are holding wooden sticks or even stones as weapons to fight off foreign invaders.
When Wu Ming saw this scene, his eyes were indifferent: “The weak eats the strong, this is the law of nature…”
“The running dog of the evil lord!”
In front of him, a middle-aged curly-haired man yelled, waved the iron axe in his hand, and rushed over.
Wu Ming jumped away, and flexibly drew out the steel long sword at his waist, a stab, the tip of the sword sank into his chest, and the middle-aged man suddenly fell in disbelief.
“Ovo!”
Another savage rushed up, holding a sharpened iron sword, he had obviously learned swordsmanship.
Wu Ming entangled with him a few tricks, and suddenly a whirl, huge force shook his blade, blood splashed.
“Spin back!”
