Chapter 553 (1/2)
In Wu Ming's previous life, there were many myths and legends about the West.
One of the most attractive is the variety of alien.
Beautiful and arrogant elves, stubborn and enthusiastic dwarves, short and intelligent halflings, mysterious and enchanting sea monsters, tree spirits, trolls, ogres
Now he came to a world similar to Western mythology, and naturally he was very interested in these.
The town of naihonia and even the whole windfly plain are all under the rule of human beings. He has never seen any alien, or even some ambiguous news, heard from the minstrels, and he does not know whether it is true or not.
In the simple hearts of many townspeople, foreigners who are slightly different in appearance and living habits are all different.
It's just like the real savages who are active in the wilderness. They are savage and savage, uncivilized, and even retain the tradition of eating the same kind. In niaha, there are people who call them cannibals.
Wu Ming strongly suspected that the legends of cannibals among the poetry reciters were processed in this way.
Of course, there are giant dragons and snakes, but they can not be described by imagination alone. They must have similar creatures, which inspired the poets.
The next day, in the twilight, the Knights of takur urged the people to set out.
After walking for three days in a row, the surrounding environment became more desolate and savage. The wolf's figure was faintly visible in the Bush, and even the wild animals who were hungry and red eyed and dared to attack the team directly.
Naturally, they were besieged by several soldiers and became the dinner of the day, but other covert threats could not be prevented.
Such as well hidden poisonous insects and snakes, and even unclean water.
Today, the number of non combat personnel has increased to three due to the harsh environment.
Fortunately, there is no one to die, otherwise the morale of the team will be down.
”Camp! All the captains come to me
Takur looked at the sky. It was late for sunset, but he was at his destination.
All the captains felt the same, their eyes were a little hot, as if with fire.
”You are all here!”
Takur sat on a rock, with a huge sword in his hands, and looked at the four people around him, nodding slightly.
The three men who came were the team leaders of the guards. Golden Arthur was among them, and the last one was Wu Ming.
In other words, in takur's heart, only 20 mercenaries can barely equal the strength of a ten man guard team.
Takur's voice was full of vicissitudes, but it was sonorous: ”I think you all guessed, or heard news from all sides... Good! We are very close to the target of this Crusade! ”
He looked around in a low voice: ”it's a village made up of tax evaders and serfs. There are 300 people in it! Women, old people and children are included... Our task this time is to destroy it, let the tenants who owe taxes make up the tax money of the master, let the runaway serfs put on their shackles again, and of course, let our pockets swell a little bit! ”
Just a word, let Wu Ming know immediately that the so-called chivalry virtue in previous life is basically deceptive.
Although there may be some noble knights in this world, I'm afraid more of them are like takur, who obeys orders and has no mercy and pity once he identifies the enemy.
”Three hundred people...”
Another man twisted his hand uneasily: ”then they have at least 50 to 60 adults...”
Takur glanced at him discontentedly: ”Fifty farmers who can only wave sticks and stones without cloth armor! Tell me, Joseph, are you afraid? ”
”No! Of course not! Knight, I'm just... I'm just... ”
Joseph hesitated and murmured, but said nothing more.
”Good! Now the whole team is resting. At night, we'll sneak in and attack! It's going to be a parade like victory
The Knights of tacur concluded.
If we attack a village with 50 well armed elite soldiers, there will be no accident, and there will be a night attack. If it goes well, I'm afraid there will be few casualties.
Obviously, Baron Terry would not have sent out the Knights of tacur if it would have led to heavy casualties.
Wu Ming, however, was still puzzled when he announced the knight's order and watched his men cheering.
”Where did the news... Come from?”
”And... Who provided the route to the wilderness?”
Unfortunately, he is just an ordinary Mercenary Captain, and he is not qualified to ask takur about such secrets and participate in major events.
So Wu Ming could only call Joey, Andrew, Henry, and his four mercenaries, and solemnly told him, ”this evening's action, try to follow me, don't leave the team without permission, understand?”
”I understand...”
The voice is uneven, but also with some dissatisfaction, so that Wu Ming heard the disapproval of the mood.
He is very clear about the discipline of these guys at the bottom. Obviously, when it comes to fighting for the spoils, they will not worry about their captain. Maybe some guys will forget the warning now.
”But whatever, if they want to die, let them die...”
Wu Ming's face was solemn, but his heart was indifferent to look around, looking at the faces of people with different looks, thinking lightly.
