The city defense soldiers in front stopped, and the city defense soldiers behind naturally stopped as well.
"Yuan Zheng, you watch here. I will take two soldiers from the city defense army to investigate. If it is confirmed that those bandits are indeed the ones who took away our Dorado people, I will send you a flare!" Lin Xiao said to Yuan Zheng
said.
Yuan Zheng wanted to say something else, but Lin Xiao had already led two city defense soldiers in that direction.
The reason why Lin Xiao didn't take the two hundred city defense soldiers there with him was because so many people were galloping together, and the noise was too great, and they would be discovered by those people before they even got close.
That's why he quietly approached with only two people. After confirming that he was indeed the target of arrest, he could lead people to create chaos and delay their footsteps, and at the same time launch a signal flare for Yuan Zheng to lead people to pursue them.
The two hundred city defense soldiers and Yuan Zheng were about three kilometers away from the campsite.
Now, Lin Xiao and two city defense soldiers had approached to a position of about 500 meters.
"Dismount, let's sneak in on foot."
Lin Xiao ordered.
"yes!"
The two city defense soldiers lowered their voices and replied.
Then the three of them got off their horses together, abandoned the horses, and approached the campsite on foot. When they arrived, they discovered that this was indeed the campsite of a wandering mercenary group.
There were about forty people in this wandering mercenary group - Lin Xiao only counted the horses tied outside the camp to know the number of people in this wandering mercenary group.
At this moment, these mercenaries were drinking and bragging around the campfire, and the camp was very noisy.
Lin Xiao and two city defense soldiers sneaked in quietly. When they got to the center, they found more than 20 poor women tied with ropes and sitting together.
The ages of these poor women range from 11 or 12 years old to more than 30 years old. The 11 or 12-year-old girls went to work outside the city with the adults and were caught before they could escape. Now they are sobbing no matter how old they are, as if they are in heaven.
Like collapsed.
"Stop crying! Damn it, if you dare to cry again, I will kill you!"
A drunken brawny man yelled angrily with a riding crop in his hand.
All these women were silent, and no one dared to speak out.
After confirming that it was correct, Lin Xiao ordered the two city defense soldiers beside him: "You go and set fire to all the tents later; you go and cut off the ropes of the horses and release all the horses. If there are no horses, they will die."
You can't escape until you die!"
"yes!"
The two city defense soldiers immediately nodded in agreement and then dived into the night.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, quietly approached these women.
Lin Xiao's approach made these women feel very scared. They all showed frightened expressions and cried non-stop.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you! I am Lin Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Dorodo City Defense Force! I will cut off your rope now, but don't run away, follow my command here. Don't worry, someone will be there soon
Come to save you."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, these women were all very excited, and they all looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.
Lin Xiao pulled out the black military dagger from his leg, and then planned to cut the rope that tied these women together.
But at this moment, two strong men suddenly walked over drunkenly.
"Hey hey hey... I like old ones, what kind do you like..."
"I like young ones, old ones are boring."
"What do you know? Only old women are interesting."
The two strong men came to the group of women while talking obscene words, and then began to choose.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was hiding in the shadow under a tree next to them.
A strong man grabbed a woman of about thirty years old and started to take off her clothes. From the look of his appearance, he planned to do it right here.
But another strong man reached out to the youngest girl among the women.
This girl is only about eleven or twelve years old, and she has a strong childishness about her, and her small face has turned pale with fear at this moment.
"My daughter was touched..."
The woman in her thirties who had just been selected cried.
"The ones we picked turned out to be a mother and daughter... Hahaha, interesting!" said the first strong man.
"You play with mom, and I play with daughter, hehe..."
The second strong man became even more excited and grabbed the young girl.
Lin Xiao originally planned to endure it, but after seeing this scene, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
He suddenly jumped out from the shadows, and the dagger in his hand cut open the main artery in the second strong man's neck in an instant!
The strong man covered his neck with blood spraying out in fear, fell to the ground and twitched non-stop, unable to utter a scream.
Just as the first strong man finished speaking, Lin Xiao hit him hard in the face with his fist.
Lin Xiao didn't save any strength in this punch. It could be said that he used all his strength to punch this strong man's head to pieces!
Most of the women present were frightened, but then they became so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
After all, in this situation, the more powerful Lin Xiao is, the greater their hope of being rescued.
The mother and daughter were hugging each other and sobbing non-stop.
Lin Xiao untied the ropes from the hands of the mother and daughter, then lowered his voice and yelled: "Stop crying! Quickly untie everyone else's ropes, there is no time to cry now!"
The mother and daughter nodded repeatedly, and then together with Lin Xiao, they quickly untied the ropes on the other women's bodies and hands.
It was at this moment that the entire camp suddenly became chaotic.
I saw one tent after another burning, there were fires everywhere, and the sound of horses neighing and galloping could be heard in the distance!
The two city defense soldiers took action!
Lin Xiao didn't hesitate, and immediately took out a signal flare from his arms and fired it into the night.
There was only a whooshing sound, a bright firelight was emitted into the night, and then it exploded with a bang!
The scattered firelight can be clearly seen even from more than ten kilometers away!
"You follow me and run to the nearby hillside, where it is not convenient for them to catch up!"
Lin Xiao said to the women, and then took more than 20 women and fled towards the nearby hillside.
They ran out for about a hundred meters before a strong man who had not completely sobered up noticed that the strong man opened his mouth and shouted, but as soon as he shouted a word, Lin Xiao threw the dagger in his hand.
The dark dagger flew hundreds of meters away like an arrow, piercing the strong man's neck in one fell swoop!
"Hurry up!"
Lin Xiao ordered, these women didn't show any temper, they gritted their teeth and ran towards the hillside one by one.
But more and more gangsters discovered the women's escape and began to chase them. However, without horses, most of them were drunk, and the women kept them apart, so they couldn't catch up.
In the distance, Yuan Zheng has already led two hundred city defense soldiers to arrive!
