The last robber simply couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't believe that these eight people could knock down all of his ten men, and these ten men didn't even have a single injury on their bodies. Their attacks were very fast and deadly, so strong that it was easy to tell that they were all experienced warriors.
This time, the robber is really in trouble.
"Please, please don't kill me. I was forced to do this robbery. If it weren't for this, who would be willing to do this robbery? Those lords asked us to pay enough taxes, but we really can't pay so much taxes. You have to know that those lords only know how to fight all day long and don't care about the lives of us civilians at all. We were really forced to do these things. Robbery was not our original intention." The robber knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging Walsh to spare his life.
Death is so terrifying. Wals swung the sword in his hand, which meant that he could leave as a bandit. After seeing Wals's knowledge, the bandit immediately understood what Wals meant. Even if he didn't understand, he had to pretend that he wanted to leave. All this was for the sake of survival.
Wals looked at him. There was a scar on his face, and he didn't know why it was left there. But the scarred robber disappeared in the blink of an eye. Wals didn't want to take his life. Everything that had just happened had shown that he must let the robber go.
The eight people reorganized and set out again. Originally, these eight people were riding war horses, and those bandits were all infantry. Wals could have left directly, but Wals did not mind helping the lord of the Rhodok Kingdom deal with the bandits in the territory.
The eight people continued to move towards their destination. According to what Lorimer said, they were getting closer and closer to their destination. After passing through a plain in the Rhodok Kingdom, they entered the mountainous area of the Rhodok Kingdom. The entire Rhodok Kingdom was in the mountains, which gave them a natural barrier. Except for the city of Viruga, which was built on the plain, most of the towns were in the mountains. mountains. Those castles built on the mountains were easy to defend and difficult to attack. It would be difficult to capture this castle without a strong force.
Even if we rely on powerful military forces to capture this castle, we will still suffer considerable losses.
Just as it was getting dark, Wals had already arrived at his destination at full speed. Wals decided to rest in the nearby mountains for a night to regain his energy before continuing to look for his sword. The sword was under the cliff.
At the same time, the robbers let go by Wals caused him a lot of trouble. The powerful one had really bad luck. He wanted to rob Wals by relying on the advantage in numbers, but he didn't expect to be killed by Wals' eight men. This time, the robber suddenly encountered the Rhodok light cavalry who were patrolling the territory.
"Sir, I am innocent." The robber had really bad luck. This time, the mounted officer pointed his spear at the robber's throat. If his spear was moved forward a little more, it could easily pierce the robber's throat. The robber was in imminent danger, and he squeezed out these words from his throat.
"Innocent? You actually say you are innocent? But how do you explain the blood on your body? Would a person be covered in blood for no reason and run around the world? I think you must be a robber or a murderer. Now go back and accept my interrogation." At least the officer's eyesight was pretty good, because it was dark and his companions were holding torches. Under the light of the torches, the mounted officer could see the blood on the robber's body. It is impossible for an ordinary person to be covered in blood. Even if his body was covered in blood, why would he run around in this wilderness?
"Sir, it's not like that. It's not what you imagined. I encountered a group of robbers. There were really eight people who came out to help me drive away those robbers. The blood on my body was the blood of those robbers." The robber said half-truthfully. The eight people were real, and the robbers were real, but he forgot to count himself in.
"So how many robbers are there in total?"
Being a robber, he stated the reason tremblingly, but when he got nervous, he blurted out a number that surprised everyone present.
"More than 0."
After hearing this, the cavalry officer immediately became furious. This was obviously a deception. Eight people actually defeated more than 0 people. Could they be fully armed Swadian knights?
"Are you kidding us? Eight people can defeat more than 100 bandits. Are they all chivalrous knights?" Obviously, the mounted officer did not believe what this person said. The bandit also knew that there were many unbelievable things in his words. After all, who would believe that eight people could defeat more than 100 people? If it was the famous Kadoc, it was possible, but judging from the current situation, Kadoc would not be here.
At this point, the robber did not hide anything. He added fuel to the fire and continued to speak to the mounted officer, "It is like this, sir. We met eight people. They really were eight people. Judging from their skills, they could compete with the Swadian knights. More than 10 of us were traveling together. We originally wanted to go somewhere else to beg for a living. I was the only one who ran back. I hope you will chase them quickly and punish these villains." The robber complained first.
"Really? If it's really as you said, I will indeed send a team of troops to encircle and suppress them. Let's put it this way, you lead the way. We have only one person, and I will continue to investigate and lead the way to find the whereabouts of those eight people. I will report this information to our headquarters, and then I will send some troops to wipe them out. But if you dare to deceive us, I promise that you will die a very painful death."
There is no shortage of bandits on the continent of Calradia. The reason for their emergence is the war. Perhaps there are many other reasons, but the war did produce a large number of bandits. Those bandits were originally homeless and became bandits because of the pressure of life.
In the Rhodok Kingdom, the Rhodok Kingdom has sent troops to attack the Swadia Kingdom, which has increased the taxes on the people in the Rhodok Kingdom. This has led to many people not being able to live a rich life. Many people are starving, some people are broken up, and in the midst of displacement, some people have become powerful.
The people of Walls had just fallen asleep when they heard a burst of noise nearby.
Wals, who was highly alert, woke up immediately. In front of him appeared a row of bandits with simple weapons.
Wals could tell at a glance that this group of bandits was not the same as the ragtag bandits he had encountered before. They had a neat formation and their equipment was much better than the previous group of bandits. They were undoubtedly the bandits active in the Rhodok Kingdom, and they were a group of bandits who had robbed many times. These bandits had combat experience, so some regular troops were unable to capture them.
Wals took a rough look and found that there were more than 0 bandits appearing in front of him this time. Although the number of bandits was exactly the same as the bandits he had met before, their momentum was completely different from the previous bandits.
Wals' subordinates were a group of excellent generals who had experienced many battles. At this moment, they felt something was wrong while they were sleeping, and soon they woke up from their sleep. Although they only slept half way, they were still full of energy. Wals came to find the sword this time, and the supplies he brought were all top-quality materials, whether it was food or sleeping bags, each item was enough to cost a lot of money.
"Mr. Wals, it seems that the Rhodok Kingdom is really not at peace. The recent war has exacerbated the collapse of the kingdom. With so many bandits gathered together, their public security must be terrible." Bestul was the first to stand up and whispered in Wals' ear. This sentence reminded Wals that it seemed that the Rhodok Kingdom would not launch a second raid on the Nord Kingdom in a short time. After all, there were already thieves rampant in their own country, so what kind of troops could they put out to fight against the Nord Kingdom?
"Enough of the small talk. In order for us to sleep peacefully tonight, let's kill all those invading bandits." Wales said lightly. Even if that group of bandits were stronger than the previous ones, bandits were still bandits after all and could not be compared with the regular army. Wales's fighting power was also unparalleled at the time. At least he did not take the regular army seriously. What kind of trouble could these bandits cause?
Without saying much, Wals drew out his sword and appeared in front of the injured leader. The bandit had never expected that his speed was so fast. At this moment, he knew that he had met a strong opponent, but in the next second he had no time to think. Wals's sword had already stabbed him, and the bandit could not fight back at all.
There was a flash of cold light, and under the moonlight, a head was thrown high up, blood splattered everywhere, and the other bandits cried out in horror, but while they were surprised, Wals' seven men had already approached them. Although they were not as fast as Wals, it was conceivable that they still had strong strength. Airen swung the two-handed sword in his hand vigorously, and a gust of wind suddenly swept over. At night, these gusts of wind made people feel cold, and the next moment the two bandits fell to the ground and died.
Jack held a battle axe in his hand. At this time, he was able to stand on equal footing with the regular Nordic Royal Guards, and he was even stronger than the ordinary Nordic Royal Guards. The axe in his hand seemed to be able to destroy the world. A robber was split in half from head to toe by it, and his brain was splattered with blood. The robbers around him all showed their machismo. Jack took advantage of the victory and cut off the body of another robber in half.
Bestur drew his bow and drew his arrow. A sharp arrow shot out from the longbow in his hand and instantly pierced into the eyes of a powerful man, accurately piercing through his head. On the other side, the bandit fell to the ground and died.
Mathilde held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. The power of the Nord arrows should not be underestimated. In the blink of an eye, three bandits had already died under his sword.
Fatis and Niza, one holding a long sword and the other holding a scimitar. Although they were not riding horses, their power was more brutal than the charge of the Swadian knights. With a few swishes, several more corpses appeared on the ground.
The eight men swept away the bandits like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. The bandits had no power to fight back. In the blink of an eye, all the bandits were killed. This time, Wals showed no mercy and sent all the bandits to hell. This was also a great help to the Rhodok Kingdom. It was easy to wipe out a bandit group.
"Okay, the work is done, now let's go back to sleep. Even if those corpses will attract wild wolves in the mountains, I don't think they will come close to us." Walsh said to his companions. As soon as he finished speaking, they continued to fall asleep, not afraid of the corpses at their feet at all, as if sleeping among the pile of dead bodies did not disturb their interest at all.
All of this was seen by the Rhodok cavalry officer. All of them, including the bandit, were stunned. The eight of them killed more than 100 bandits like cutting wheat. Such fighting power was really amazing, and what was even more amazing was that none of the eight of them were injured. This fighting power was comparable to that of Kadoc on the mainland.
This group of people have never seen the power of Kadoc, otherwise they would never think about these things in their minds.
But everything in front of me just proved that everything the robber said was true.
"Sir, do you think what I said is true? Those eight people are really powerful." The powerful man who was let go by Walsh before said to the mounted officer. He pointed at the eight people who were sleeping, trembling.
Before the mounted officer could speak, one of his companions suddenly leaned over to his ear and said, "Captain, I can see that one of the eighteen men looks very familiar to me. It is Lord Wals of Suno."
It was like a bolt of thunder exploding out of nowhere, and the cavalry officer could hardly believe his ears.
"Are you sure what you saw is true? Wals is the lord of Suno. How could he run here so easily? This is the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom. The Rhodok Kingdom is now at war with the Nord Kingdom. Suno defeated the army led by King Yarogerk not long ago, and it has a deep hatred with the Rhodok Kingdom. If King Gryphus heard that Wals only brought seven people to the territory of our country, King Gryphus would definitely assemble an army of a thousand people and would definitely drag Wals over and torture him to death." The cavalry officer said to his men in disbelief. This news was too explosive and no one would believe it.
But his men insisted on his point of view.
"Captain, you will understand if you come and take a look. Although you did not participate in the siege of Suno, I did, and I even climbed the city wall. It was a truly thrilling battle. I will never forget the face of Wals. So many generals died under Wals' arrows. I will never forget Wals. Please believe me."
This soldier repeated it many times in order to tell his captain that Wals was here. At this moment, the cavalry officer also knew that things were not as he had imagined. If it was just an ordinary knight, those ordinary rangers could still be dealt with. However, the one who appeared in front of him was not an ordinary ranger, but the lord from Suno, the Wals who had severely hit King Gryfus during the siege of Suno.
The cavalry officer decided not to alert the enemy first, but to retreat and inform his lord that this was the territory of Wincord Castle. The cavalry officer led his men away tremblingly and quietly.
Wals had no idea about the Rhodok cavalry officer, mainly because he had already killed two groups of bandits, and she didn't dare to believe that her luck would be so bad that she could meet another group of people. But the fact was that the Rhodok cavalry officer had already brought back the news of Wals's arrival.
In Wincord Castle, Count Talba is the owner here. After the fall of the Kingdom of Swadia, King Gryfus gave Wincord Castle to Count Talba.
The cavalry officer returned to Wincodeburg with a group of people without stopping, just to report the news to Count Talba.
"Is it really as you said? Wals dared to enter the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom with only seven followers. Has the last war made him so courageous? Last time he had hundreds of soldiers, but this time he only has eight. I can recruit all the soldiers of Wincode Castle. These more than 100 soldiers are enough to kill him without a burial place." Count Talba said half-doubtfully.
When the cavalry officer saw that Count Talba still didn't believe it, he quickly pulled out his companion.
"Count Kalba, as you can see, this warrior is the one who followed King Graves to attack Suno City. Now this warrior said that he really saw Wals, and this is absolutely true."
Count Talba questioned the companion of the cavalry officer again, and this time, regardless of whether the matter was true or false, he decided to send someone to take a look.
After all, this matter is of great importance. If the person outside is really Wals, I will have made a great contribution. Just think about it. I only need to recruit more than 100 citizens to surround Wals. Even if I am extremely brave and invincible, how can I fight more than 100 people with only eight people? At the beginning, King Gryphus led an army of 1000, and Wals had more than 100 soldiers. Although there was a huge disparity between the enemy and us, Su Luo was saved by relying on the reinforcements of Nord and his own strategy. But now Wals has only eight people. This ratio is too disparate.
The gap of more than 10 times cannot be filled by ordinary strategies. Count Talba decided to take people to take a look in person.
"What are they doing now?" Count Talba decided to keep his troops in place for the time being. He wanted to conscript his own soldiers and try to capture Wals as much as possible. His father, the Count, was a cautious man. At this moment, he had to set a big trap and surround Wals tightly.
"It looks like they are sleeping on the mountains south of Wincode Castle. They should wait until daybreak before setting out." The cavalry officer reported truthfully to Count Talba.
Count Talba already had a plan in mind. He was going to recruit most of the soldiers in the castle. If he calculated carefully, Count Talba could probably mobilize more than a hundred soldiers. He also had to leave some garrisons in the castle, otherwise it would become an empty city and it would be easy for other enemy soldiers to take advantage of the situation and break in. Count Talba would not lose his capital because of Wals. Besides, Wals only had eight people, so why would he bring so many soldiers?
Count Talba had already made plans and would never make this matter public. If the other party was really Wals, he would lead more than a hundred soldiers to capture Wals and report to King Griffith, which would be a great achievement. If the other party just looked a little like Wals, then he would return empty-handed. If the news got out, he would only be laughed at by others. Besides, Count Talba suddenly had a vague feeling of fear.
He was afraid that his more than one hundred soldiers would not be able to capture the eight people of Wals. This was the key point. If more than one hundred people could not even capture eight people, then his position as lord would really be abolished by King Graves.
The plan must be careful.
He told the Count that he was going to set a big trap and wait until dawn to close it, so that he could be sure that it would be foolproof. Count Talba did not want to be laughed at by others.
Wals had no idea about Count Talba's action. He was now fast asleep. Time passed quickly, the moon slowly disappeared in the sky, and the rising sun appeared above the mountains.
