When the Nasser Knights' team entered the river camp, the bandit leader, McCann, hid in the dark woods and watched silently. He pretended to be a passerby and came to the camp in advance to control the specific situation of the cavalry and prepare for a late-night sneak attack.
But the cavalry was delayed for half an hour because of Zhou Qingfeng's appearance. This was a warning to McCann, who had already calculated the time. Something unexpected must have happened.
McCann immediately erased all traces of his presence in the camp and sneaked into the woods to investigate in the direction of the cavalry. Wanting to know what happened? He saw Zhou Qingfeng, whom he met halfway, joining the cavalry, and others who were caught by goblins.
Todd is there too.
Strange, very strange!
Because he coveted the sky-high price gems carried by Knight Nasser, McCann had been watching this cavalry team for more than half a year, but he had never seen anyone like Zhou Qingfeng. He knew even more clearly that countless bandits in the Black Forest wanted to rob this team of fat sheep, but the old knight
Alert and powerful, he has neutralized a large number of attacks and will never trust any stranger easily.
However, Zhou Qingfeng could easily gain the trust of the old knight, and even dragged an orc into it, which was incredible. Therefore, McCann decided to hide in the dark and take a closer look at what changes had taken place in the cavalry.
In the camp, Todd was chewing on a roasted leg of lamb. Zhou Qingfeng had been hungry all day, so he could only bear the smell of fish and eat before eating. Knight Nasser held a small boning knife in his hand and sliced the meat to his mouth.
Rise, talking while eating...
"Victor, we are being targeted. There should be an ambush around the camp. It should be the McCann group you mentioned. If a group of jackals really joins, it will be really difficult to deal with. They will definitely attack at night.
"
Zhou Qingfeng was stunned and recalled the jackals he saw when he was attacked the night before yesterday. They were all beast-like guys. They were more than two meters tall and weighed more than one hundred kilograms. Seven or eight of them ran fast and fiercely.
The ground was shaken by them.
"What should we do?"
The old knight smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing we can do, just fight. I originally had more than fifty men, but these are the only ones left in the past year. We have encountered worse situations than this, and there is no way to escape." As he said this, he gave
Zhou Qingfeng handed over a shiny stone.
"The jackals have night vision, which is very advantageous in the dark. If necessary, crush this gem. The 'flash technique' is sealed in it, which can blind the enemy's eyes for a short time. Remember to remind your companions to close their eyes before pinching, otherwise everyone will
Can’t even see it.”
Zhou Qingfeng took the gem and knew what it was that blinded him 'last night'. But what role could this gem play in the melee?
Todd finished chewing the leg of lamb and patted Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder with a greasy hand, "Don't worry, I can also see the enemy clearly in the dark. And my nose is very good. If there is a jackal really approaching, I will definitely be able to smell it."
They stink."
Knight Nasser smiled at this. It was a bit risky for him to win over Todd, but he also took a fancy to the orc's talent - neither 'powerful' nor 'violent', but 'alertness'. Orcs have an extraordinary ability.
Intuition is more than just a nose.
Zhou Qingfeng felt a little relieved and laughed. The old knight looked at the sword in his hand and couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency Hugo, I don't know how you got the sword of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
, but you don’t seem to know how to use it?”
"Isn't it very sharp? It can also create a beautiful and dangerous sword light." Zhou Qingfeng held the sword and did not let go. Having experienced actual combat, and looking at Todd's love for big axes, he knew a good weapon.
He was so important that he never gave up his sword again.
The old knight wanted to take back this royal treasure of the Principality of Os, but Zhou Qingfeng refused to let it go. He could only wake up and said: "The gem on the hilt has been stabilized by the prophecy arcane 'hostile perception'.
When danger approaches, it will warn you."
When Zhou Qingfeng lowered his head, the gem on the sword hilt actually lit up with a faint red light. He shouted in surprise: "This bastard McCann is going to attack now?"
The old knight shook his head, "The enemy is at least a hundred meters away, and his position is uncertain. Maybe it's the McCann you mentioned, but he shouldn't be ready yet."
"Then what should we do?" Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to die in confusion again from the jackal's night attack.
The old knight looked at Todd. After the orc had eaten, he clapped his chest and shouted: "Aren't you going to Razor Village? With me leading the way, you can quickly avoid the enemy's sight without setting off torches.
When we get to Razor Village, we will set fire to make sure the bastards in the village are burned and running around. Then you can go up the mountain."
Todd was overjoyed at the thought of setting fire. The old knight went to reorganize his team and prepare for the final fight. The camp was quiet and orderly, and there was no sign that these people were about to fight.
"Lord Nasser, what should we do if the arson fails?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. 'Last night' the old knight entered Razor Village and used a variety of methods to fight very well at first. But in the end, the number of people was only one-tenth of the opponent's.
One, fight until you are exhausted and die.
The old knight smiled and said, "I have experienced hundreds of battles since I became a knight in the Principality of Os. The biggest experience I have learned is not to treat your opponents as fools. Being able to lure the enemy, set fire, and sneak is naturally the best. But you still have to be prepared to fight hard.
spell."
The members of the cavalry took the boxes containing gems with them, found strings to connect them to each other, and extinguished the fire pit to avoid exposure, and then set off with the orcs who could see at night.
Zhou Qingfeng was also in the queue. Todd was in front of him. The orc whispered: "The old man is right, you can only use tricks if you can fight hard. Otherwise, all tricks are useless."
Jackals and orcs both have night vision, but they can only see as close as 20 meters, and they can't see clearly even if they are too far away. The flames in the camp are extinguished, and Todd can still lead the way with his 20-meter field of vision, but McCann, who is 100 meters away,
If the gang is unable to monitor, even the gnolls will lose their target.
In the darkness, McCann was wondering what had happened to his target, when he suddenly discovered that the camp was out of flames. This was definitely not right.
"Oops, these fat sheep want to run away." Without saying a word, McCann led his assembled team towards the camp. By the time they rushed to the camp, the cavalry was already far away.
"Look, it's impossible for that group of people not to leave traces. If you find them, chase them and launch an attack immediately." The night attack was about to be launched, but the target ran away. McCann was already furious and urged his jackals.
Jackals are not good subordinates. These night monsters are used to thinking in their stomachs. McCann went through a lot of effort to induce them to join the hunting team. There is not much trust between the two parties, and they may fall out at any time.
The yelling and cursing caused the gnolls to protest and roar, but these monsters with the same keen sense of smell still obeyed the order, followed the scent left by the cavalry, and launched a pursuit.
At this moment, a group of more than a dozen people led by Todd were marching quickly on the dense forest path. Everyone shut up and walked quickly because the wolf-like cries behind them kept approaching.
Knight Nasser was at the end of the team, and he turned around and snorted coldly. He took out a sealed bottle from his backpack, smashed it on the ground hard, and it shattered.
Within a short time, the jackals who were catching up were filled with an extremely pungent and spicy smell. They howled for a while, then all turned around and ran around, retching one after another.
McCann, who was following behind, felt like he was running into an invisible wall head-on. His tears and nose could not stop flowing, and he could only run around with his head in his hands. But at this time, the cavalry that was escaping in front circled around and fought back from the top.
