After several days of this, Dast and his team successfully marked all along the river. However, under Dast's guidance, their own traces were not discovered by anyone.
"Your skills are amazing." Even Grahid had to admire him in the end. "I don't know if you can become a general. But if the King of Sweden wants to form a team dedicated to investigation, then you must be the instructor."
.”
"Where are we now?" Dast was a little overwhelmed by the praise, "You haven't seen the things I taught the King of Sweden yet!"
Suddenly there was a cry of birds ahead, but a closer look revealed that the cry came from a soldier walking at the front. Over the past few days, Dast had trained these soldiers to imitate the calls of birds to convey information.
Hyde also participated in the training. He pricked up his ears and quickly understood the meaning of the sound: 'There are traces of the enemy ahead.'
At first glance, there were no footprints on the ground pointed by the soldier. But Dast and his party knew that the marks they had left on the ground were missing by more than ten marks. In other words, the soil had been wiped by someone.
.
"Have you found the enemy's water fetching place? Do you want to search nearby?" Glahid asked.
"No. If I want to hide my whereabouts, I will definitely install some unobtrusive but noisy mechanisms near the camp. Although the enemy is not me, for the sake of safety, it is better to assume that there are such mechanisms. We will not
It is possible to find every agency, and active search is very risky. We should wait here and wait."
"How to keep it?"
Dast pointed upward and then downward: "The enemy will definitely come to fetch water again. We can hide in trees or underground. If there are not many people fetching water, we can also set up a few traps to
They caught them all in one fell swoop.”
"trap?"
"Look, this is more suitable for setting traps." Dast walked towards a stone, "People like to walk in dry places, and the surrounding area of this stone is very muddy, so this stone will probably be very big if it is stepped on.
.Just hollow out the bottom of this rock - wow! What a trap!"
As soon as Dast stepped on the stone, the stone immediately collapsed, causing Dast to fall into the hole. Before Glahid and others could react, the big tree above them suddenly made a loud noise.
A girl laughed: "We caught you!"
Several branches fell from the tree. Under the shocked eyes of Glahid and others, Ella slowly climbed down from the big tree. Her clothes were wrapped with a circle of green vines and overgrown leaves.
The branches had fallen leaves. Grahid thought he might have seen an illusion and wiped his eyes with his hands. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't find Ella for a while. Until Ella fell to the ground, and the big tree
After they were completely separated, he was convinced that Ella was right in front of him.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time!" Ella smiled with her hands on her hips. "When I saw these familiar signs, I knew you would definitely come back here. So I just waited and waited."
"Apprentice... there is something Master wants to discuss with you. Just think of Master as a rabbit guard. Can you avoid this trap next time?" Dast climbed out of the pit in disgrace, "This
The digging was so deep, if I hadn't pressed my feet against both sides in mid-air, I would have probably broken one of my legs!"
"This is the smallest pit!" Ella opened her arms in a show-off manner, "The largest pit can fall into more than ten people at once!"
"I thought I found traces of the enemy." Glahid said, "It turns out that these marks were all painted out by you."
"Me?" Ella shook her head, "No, the mark on this place was gone when I came here."
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from the distance: "Who are you?"
Soon enough, the bushes in the distance suddenly moved, and more than ten men with weapons rushed out from there!
"Oops, I was discovered!"
Glahid and the five soldiers hurriedly drew out their weapons and stood in front of Ella. Although the weapon held by Glahid was a bow, he was standing at the front. No one had any doubts about this.
Ella observed the enemies on the opposite side through the gaps between the soldiers, trying to judge where they came from from their service. But they were all wearing patchwork linen clothes, except for the leader who held a decent sword.
The rest of the people were holding pitchforks, pot lids and other things in their hands, and they looked like ordinary farmers.
"Are you local residents of Winchester?" Ella asked.
But those people didn't listen to what Ella said at all. The leader with the sword shouted "formation", and the team of people "swiped" into two rows. The people in the front row lowered their center of gravity.
, use the pot lid to cover their chest and half of their face; the people in the back row stand, holding the pot lid diagonally upward to ward off the arrows from above. The two people in front and behind are holding it up from behind the pot lid.
The pitchforks allow two pitchforks to attack at the same time in a space that is one person tall and one person wide, just like a simple shield wall phalanx.
In contrast, although Ella's side is said to be soldiers from the army, they only brought a small hatchet for the convenience of investigation, no armor, and no shields, and their number was also smaller. The enemy was arrayed
They immediately felt a pressure. Dast led all conscripts this time, and there was no regular army except Grahid. If they really fought, they might really lose to this group of farmers.
But Ella didn't seem to think so, and shouted at the group of people dressed as farmers: "I asked you if you are residents of Winchester! If you don't answer, I will take action to knock you down!"
The leader of the enemy had already seen his side's advantage, so how could he be frightened by Ella's words? He pointed his sword forward, and the group of farmers began to advance forward. One step, two steps, before advancing.
At this time, the shield wall phalanx remained undisturbed. It was obvious that this group of people had received a lot of military training. Their eyes were firm and their steps were steady. They took another three steps, four steps, five steps forward in unison... and then they all stepped forward in unison.
He fell into the hole dug by Ella.
Only the man holding the sword and commanding at the back survived. He stared dumbfounded at the huge pit that could accommodate more than ten people, and for a moment he didn't understand what was going on.
At this time, Dast climbed out of the pit. As soon as he escaped, he jumped in front of everyone, pulled out the sword from his waist and gestured towards the leader: "Disciple, don't be afraid, leave this to the master."
I’ll do it!”
The leader stared at Dust for a while, moved his feet, raised his sword, and assumed a formal posture.
"Looks like a peasant, but his posture is not bad." Dast said confidently, "What a pity, your opponent is me, the White Knight!"
Both of them looked like they were only wearing cloth clothes, but Dast had an iron plate hidden on his chest, which actually gave him a lot of advantages. Dast seemed to be able to do it with ease. But who knew that the leader heard the words "White Knight" three times?
After saying this, he suddenly turned over the sword in his hand, grabbed the blade with his hand, and pointed the hilt towards Dust.
"The blunt weapon of the sword is specially used to hit heavily armored enemies." Glahid stared at the enemy, "It seems that these people are indeed not ordinary farmers."
