MTL - Mercenaries and Adventurers-v4 Chapter 200 , the rainy second half of the night (1)

Kiel rode on the blood licking grass and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Dozens of young people drove chariots and horses, carrying something they liked, and lined up in a long line to go out from the gate of the bandit camp.

The illuminated torches were lit, and the front and rear torches crawled slowly down the hillside like a glowing snake.

Knowing that there was no danger nearby, Keir let the young man lead the way, and he was at the end of the line.

Turning his head and looking at the mouth of the fissure cave with billowing smoke, and the wooden houses filled with bandit corpses that were set on fire, he breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know how much crime and pain this place has produced.

Only a fire will be the final good result here.

The passage under the bandit leader's bed. He just went to look at it after ventilating for a while.

The infrequently opened passage is connected to a cellar. Contrary to Keir's expectations, it is not a treasure room or anything as he expected, it is simply a storage room for several heads.

Several air-dried male human heads were carefully placed on a long table, each with a ferocious look. In front of the metal plates where the dried heads were placed, there were pieces of broken weapons.

After looking at it for a while, Keir knew what this place was for.

It was a place to store loot.

Every air-dried head is probably a powerful enemy that the bandit leader nicknamed Fatty defeated in his previous life. The shattered weapon was obviously the enemy's weapon too.

After questioning a captured fat gang of bandits, Keir corroborates his judgment.

In this case, the place has no effective value.

Set the wooden tables where the heads were placed on fire, and let them, along with the entire bandit camp, go into the flames and purify.

When the flames of the team went a little farther, Kiel jumped off his horse and came to the wild python that he had killed before, picked up the thick and heavy snake body, and Kiel disappeared, even with the long snake body Follow me.

Then he reappeared, but he was alone, and the snake body he held in his hand was gone.

"Let's go, let's follow."

Keir got on his horse, ignored the curious eyes of the blood licking grass, and knocked on the horse's belly, making it follow the team along the winding mountain dirt road.

-

The fine raindrops did not disturb the greased lighting torches, but only added a little crackling sound to them.

But the rain still makes the air humid and cold after all.

Crowded on the creaking carriage, the rescued people ignored the smell of grease on the bandit's clothes, huddled together one by one, and wrapped them in thick animal skins.

They complained and muttered softly, causing the young refugees walking in twos and threes on both sides of the carriage to keep looking at them. Although those words don't sound very good, the young people know that these people have been tortured by vicious and murderous bandits for a long time. A little complaint they don't care.

But the eight bandits who were **** while walking together began to curse.

"You guys, you still dislike sitting in a car, why don't you change it with me? Come down and do some exercise."

"My father was beaten and forced to walk, do you still have the face to complain?"

"One by one, I should have killed you if I knew it earlier."

But the situation changed, and the rescued people were no longer afraid of the bandits who were tied up. A young businessman leaned back on a wooden box and taunted the bandits who were tied to the carriage by ropes: "You guys, just now Haven't you been beaten enough by me? Do you want to **** piss? I'm standing on the carriage, and I'll pee all over your face and body later, and see if you still complain!"

The faces of the bandits who were walking behind the carriage tied by ropes changed drastically, and they immediately began to curse, but seeing that the young businessman really planned to untie his pants, he immediately shut up obediently.

The young refugees next to him looked amused, and they all burst out laughing.

But the young businessman thought that these farmers were laughing at him, so he really unbuttoned his pants, and pointed his words at the young refugees on the side of the carriage: "What are you laughing at, open your mouth and taste me!"

These words angered a young refugee who was closest. He directly raised his hand and grabbed the young businessman's ankle, pushed him into the carriage, and fell heavily with a bang.

The rescued people who were smashed by their own people immediately cursed the troublesome young businessman and the young refugee who made trouble, but more than a dozen young refugees gathered around, and the people in the carriage shut up obediently.

This time it was the bandits' turn to laugh, and they laughed at each other in low voices, still complaining to themselves that the reason for their defeat was simply that they were unlucky enough to meet a knight, or else the chicks in front of them Dog, how could it be defeated? They must be escorting the arrested people and walking on the commercial road at this time.

Speaking of this, these bandits looked into the darkness behind them.

Among the messy sound of horseshoes and walking, the place that glows in the darkness in the distance, and the sound of weapons colliding are the culprits that caused all this.

But they only dared to take a look at it, and then turned back and continued walking. Surrendered, but whether he can survive in the end is still unknown.

Following the route given by the surrender of the Wild Snake bandits, the team reluctantly walked down the mountain on the south side of the trade road, towards the nest of the Wild Snake gang not far from here.

The fact that the two families are so close to each other is also one of the reasons why Huang Snake insisted on raiding Fatty's lair before leaving this place to seek a living.

Although the people who lived in Desolate Snake had raised snakes before, they were considered weird and venomous, and they were best at using poisonous snakes to attack caravans overnight. But due to the gap in numbers, Fatty's team has been suppressing Huang Snake's gang.

Mountain Wolf's team rarely recruits newcomers, and always acts as a mature team with enough refined numbers. However, the White Wall King's team rarely accepts outsiders. They have a village stronghold in the mountains, and they will only capture children during the plunder to raise them, or capture women to give birth to themselves.

Therefore, when foreign bandits join in, they often only choose some smaller bandit gangs, or the biggest one.

Fat people don't think that there is any problem because the two's lairs are close. They should be afraid of being attacked and annexed by the wild snakes.

"Playing Parsel! How long will it take to reach your lair?"

A young man in armor who led the crowd asked the bandits of the Wild Snake Group who were detained behind the first carriage.

A certain bandit with a bruised nose and a swollen face opened his eyes wide, looked around, and then shook his head: "How do I know, the direction is correct, but the surroundings are pitch black, and I have to get the marks on the trees in the forest to know where I am."

"I think you are dishonest! You are entrenched in these places, and you tell me that you don't know? Hit! Hit until he says so!"

Another young man with a bad temper went up and kicked the bandit, kicking him down, and he could only be dragged behind by the carriage.

The bandit who was hit **** his body also gritted his teeth and did not cry out. He and the other bandit companions around him understood that the more they screamed, the more they were beaten.

Because not so long ago, they did the same.

If they can do it, others can do it too.

After fighting for a while, seeing that the beaten bandit didn't speak, the irascible young man who felt bored snorted heavily: "I understand that you want to survive, and you also want to rely on various news to raise your status in the heart of Lord Knight, but the wheat seed is Wheat seeds, beans are beans, neither can they be mixed together, nor can they be planted against the season. Come on, let us destroy your lair, everyone, especially Lord Knight, is satisfied, and you will naturally survive!"

Another kick in the **** of a robber from the Huangsnake gang next to him, the young man was about to walk away, but he was stopped.

"Walking along the forest, a place where a creek flowing from the mountain flows through the forest is our old nest. But be careful of snakes. There are several broods of poisonous snakes that love to return to their nests during the day around the nest camp."

The irritable young man nodded and muttered: "If I hadn't said it earlier, I wouldn't have been beaten, a bunch of old dogs." He walked to the front of the line.

The bandit who opened his mouth rubbed his **** awkwardly with his wrists bound by a long rope, and then helped his companion who was dragged to the ground with others.

They communicated quietly.

"Did you say you can survive?"

"Who knows, these mud-legged people probably won't, but it's hard to say about that young knight."

"But he killed the most of us! So killing, doesn't mean killing us all without blinking an eye?"

"Hey, looking at their appearance, they kind of want to take the opportunity to wipe out the Mountain Wolf gang. At least until this goal is achieved, we can survive and suffer less beatings."

In this way, the five bandits looked at each other, and under the light of the fluttering torches on both sides, everyone's face looked like they were dying.

So everyone lost interest in talking, and each fell silent, wondering what they were planning.

At the end of the line, Keir was talking to the bandit who surrendered in the mountain wolf gang.

"Young lord, if you continue to attack our leader's retreated lair tonight, you must be careful."

Kiel was bored, wiped the visor of the armor with a red cloth, and returned: "How do you say? Are there many traps inside and outside your lair in the forest?"

"There are traps, but they are all used to drive away wild animals. The main reason is that there is a cronies of the leader in the lair. He is very powerful! I have been in the gang all these years, and I have never seen that person defeated."

"Oh? Is it difficult to be a knight-rank warrior who is so downcast that he becomes a bandit? But in this way, can your leader still sit firmly on the chair under his buttocks?"

The bandit who surrendered hurriedly said, "No, no, not as powerful as you, but still very powerful."

"What's the mess, tell me clearly."

The bandit raised his bound palm and rubbed it against his face vigorously: "Well, yes, that's right. Although it looks like nothing, that guy can win every time he fights! No matter if the opponent is alone, or Two people, or five people. Just like that, the long sword slashed back and forth, and the heads fell off like fruits falling from a tree."

Keel raised his eyebrows, feeling a little funny.

"Tell me, his name, nickname, etc. He also tells me about his height, weight, and weapons and equipment he usually uses."

Faced with such requests from Kiel, the bandit who surrendered sneered, and finally closed his snarky mouth.

"How do I know so much? That guy doesn't have a nickname, and we don't dare to name one. People usually only call that guy Will. His weapon is a long sword, and he doesn't usually get close to his brothers. I like to stay outside the camp by myself. So the boss often asks him to guard the entrance and exit of the camp.”

"Oh, sounds like a very stylish hermit?"

Keel muttered to himself.

-

After a while, the team slowed down and stopped. Keir rode forward and asked what was wrong.

"Master Knight, according to what the bandits said, we have found a bandit lair named Desolate Snake. The place is not too far from the previous bandit lair, and there are streams and woods, and the two are mixed together."

Keel looked around: "It should be here. Well, let everyone be careful, these snake-players have a lot of poisonous snakes around the lair."

His horses are far more sensitive than humans, and at this moment, including the blood lick that Keel is riding, they all look restless.

Keir jumped off his horse and directed the team to pay attention to their feet and join up first.

"Be careful under your feet, in the grass, on the edge of the bushes, or on the branches. There may be a poisonous snake lying there."

Keir took the ax in his hand and used it to fiddle with the surrounding bushes and other low bushes.

Amidst the sound of Sasha's branches being plucked, there was a sudden hissing sound, and then a black shadow struck Kiel's arm.

Bang made a crisp sound, and the long black shadow slammed heavily on Kiel's arm armor.

With a cold snort, Kiel nimbly swung the blue two-handed ax with his backhand, jumping up the long black shadow, and then slashed his head vertically in half with the axe.

The black shadow kept twisting and curling in the mottled and shaking firelight. Kiel shone the glowing magic pendant on his body, and it turned out to be a one-meter-long brown-black poisonous snake.

Kiel continued to walk around the crowd, constantly attracting the poisonous snakes to attack, and then beheaded them smoothly.

The corners of the mouths of the surrounding people twitched, and the bandits of the Huang Snake gang felt distressed.

"Let's talk about it, you must have a way to prevent poisonous snakes from attacking people. As long as one person on our side is bitten by a poisonous snake and dies, I will randomly kill one of you. One life for another, is it fair? "

Kiel threw the hacked snakes back to the front of the line, and a bold young refugee immediately took out a large bag and picked the curled snakes into the bag.

It's all meat.

Hearing the conditions of the knight's blackmail, the bandits who wanted to make these people suffer something hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand. My lord, there is a way."

Another person hurriedly added: "We have a powder in our pockets, which is made from the feces of big snakes raised by the leader. Put a little bit on the legs, and the poisonous snakes around will not attack!"

Kiel snorted coldly: "What are you doing in a daze, everyone is smearing themselves."

He didn't use it himself. After his subordinates searched out a small bag of black ash dry powder for each person from the pockets of the bandits, and spread some dry powder evenly on everyone, including the hooves of the horses, he first let a bandit into the forest to try .

Accompanied by Kiel himself, it turned out that between him and the bandit, he was the only one who was attacked by the poisonous snake, and the bandit who smeared the snake's feces dry powder was not bitten by the poisonous snake.

"Go! Leave half of the people outside, and the rest follow me!"

Keel mounted his horse, took twenty armed young refugees with him, and entered along the edge of the damp woods.

-

According to the information he had asked the bandits before, Keir found various marks on the trunks of the big trees in the woods. These bandits are talented in 'art', and they like to hang a beast's head on the trunk of a big tree, or deliberately carve the bark of a big tree to create various terrifying patterns.

Every big tree around them has been turned into an 'art wall' to intimidate outsiders, but these things are fake after all. After the fight tonight, the young people under Keir are not too afraid of these weird art creations .

They are more worried about the enemy's real swords and guns.

Kiel specially picked the big trees with human skulls hanging on the trunks of the surrounding big trees to advance, and soon after going deep into the woods, he found a simple camp set up in the woods.

Those bandits collected a kind of water-loving vines in the woods, dried them and wove them into nets. After drying thoroughly, the netted vines turned into a strong, wind-permeable wall.

Bury this kind of vine wall between two adjacent tree trunks, pile up soil at the bottom to fix it, and hang it with ropes at the top. In this way, this group of imaginative and survivable bandits established a simple but practical simple camp in the depths of the wild woods.

The gate of the camp was closed, and there were sentry vine baskets hanging from the trees next to it. Kiel smiled when he saw it, took out his bow and arrow, and looked at them, wondering if it was the sentry bandit who came back from one of his own people, and shot him to death with an arrow.

The bandit was shot in the chest with an arrow, and before falling from the vine basket on a high place, he stubbornly rang the warning bell.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle.

The quiet camp in the forest was instantly awakened by the rapid bell. Someone asked what happened, and someone cursed loudly whether the sentry was playing a prank on purpose.

But no one thought they were being attacked.

Keir knew that there were not many people in this bandit's lair~www.novelbuddy.com~ at most no more than six, so with a wave of his hand, he ordered twenty men to attack!

"kill!"

"Ahhhh!"

This is the case with useless trained manpower, Keel gave an order, the young man in the lead shouted, and then led the others who also shouted, shouting while running.

They rushed to the gate of the bandit camp, and all of them hit the gate of the camp with their shoulders, which was also made of vine walls.

Of course, the lightweight camp gate tied with a rope inside couldn't stop so many human males from colliding. It was knocked back and knocked down a curious bandit who came forward.

There were not many bandits left behind in the camp, and their strength was not strong enough. Faced with the attacking No. 20 people, they were cut down to the ground after only one face-to-face.

A guy threw a poisonous snake that he carried with him, but the poisonous snake that fell at the feet of the young refugees did not attack them, but curled up in fear.

Keir rode slowly to the wide open gate of the camp, watching how the young men who fought indiscriminately with a torch in one hand and a machete and long sword in the other took down the counter-attacking bandits.

The bandits are quite capable, and they can barely maintain their defense in the face of the attack of one or two young people. But the disadvantage in terms of numbers is too great, the two bandits on the left can barely hold on, but the two bandits on the right were instantly chopped into flesh by a dozen young people.

Keel nocked the arrow and shot the guy who had been brought down by the gate earlier.

Soon, the remaining bandits were all killed by the young people who swarmed up.

"Take a count and killed a few bandits left behind."

Keel spoke up.

The excited young man in leather armor panting excitedly shouted yes.
