Chapter 83: Accidentally Touching the Trap (1)
Cons, who avoided the first attack, had just squatted down and drew out his sword in the shortest time, "Dangdang" blocked two sharp arrows that followed.
Hearing the sound of the impact, Cons couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The one who attacked him was actually an iron arrow? This means that the other party is at least a high-level archer, and he is using a strong bow. It seems that he is in trouble.
Thinking of this, Cons didn't waste time. He took advantage of the moment he blocked the arrow and quickly rolled and hid next to a tree. Two iron arrows immediately shot deep into the tree.
From the interval and direction of the bow and arrow shooting, Cons concluded that only two people attacked him, and he was a little puzzled by someone attacking him.
Is the other party a member of the Mandala Rogue? It should be that he is now wearing an imperial uniform, and ordinary hunters will not attack the army, and they cannot afford to use iron arrows.
But if the other party is a thief group, then setting up such a trap should be unwilling to attract more prey and will never snipe the person who went to report the news to guide the prey into the trap... Is it because they raised their heads and thought they had exposed their traces, so they had a murderous intention to kill themselves?
When a strong man wearing a black leather mask with only two eyes exposed on his face, jumping from the tree with a bow and arrow, carrying a big knife, ran towards Bai Ji with a fierce look, Kang Jin understood that his thought was correct, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Just raising your head, you can be misunderstood...
Cons did not meet the big man who was running over, but just held his sword and leaned against the tree. He did not forget that there was an archer in the bushes opposite him.
The strong man might have been swaying behind him with archers, so he swaggered and did not take any warning at all. He ran directly to the back of the tree where Cons was.
When encountering such a guy, Cons, of course, took advantage of the moment that guy approached the tree and immediately waved his sword and chopped it!
But unexpectedly, with a "defying" sound, the guy seemed to have expected in advance that he actually raised his knife to block the attack.
Although Cons was a little surprised, he raised his foot and kicked the man in the vagina as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the man reacted quickly. One of his hands pressed his hands to block Cons' feet, and the other hand holding the big knife slashed at Cons' neck.
Cons raised his sword indifferently and was about to block the sword of the big man. He didn't believe that the big man could block his feet!
These actions were long, but in fact they were just a moment. However, when the two sides were about to contact each other, Cons suddenly changed his face, and he suddenly thrust his feet, turned around and counterattacked to the ground.
Where he was originally located, a violently shaking arrow feather suddenly appeared!
The man did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, but stood there and said in a dull voice: "Boy, the reaction is very good. He can even avoid the magic arrows of our thieves." Although he could not see the expression under the mask, he could see that his eyes showed an appreciation.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you take the opportunity to deal with him?" A very dull sound came from the woods in the distance.
Listening to the sound, you can guess that the other party must be wearing the same leather mask.
"Hey, I'm itchy. I want to compete with this kid, don't interfere." The big man turned his head and responded.
"Stop making trouble, don't forget the commander's order." The archer hiding in the woods continued to dissuade him.
The big man said casually, "I don't bother with him." Then he shouted to Cons: "Boy, I'll fight you. Let's have a real sword and a gun!" He said that and slashed.
Cons, who had already gotten up and was on alert, was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately raised his sword to attack the big man.
The big man flashed across the sharp blade that was slashing towards his throat and stabbed Cons in the stomach with a knife!
Cons pulled his hand away, blocked the tip of the knife with his sword thigh, and waved the sword to the big man's thigh. The big man was so scared that he immediately jumped back and avoided the attack.
"Don't be so troublesome, let me shoot him with one arrow!" A man wearing a mask, two pots of arrows and a knife hanging around his waist pulled a long bow and aimed at Cons with an arrow.
"No need to be troublesome!" The big man roared and rushed towards Cons with his knife!
The archer could only helplessly release the bowstring.
When Cons saw the archer who had been hiding appeared, he did not entangle with the big man, and kowtowed the big man hard, then kicked the big man away while the big man's hands were numb, and then ran out.
The archer who had not expected this was stunned for a moment, then yelled: "Damn it!"
He pulled the bow and shot, but unfortunately, Cons, who had been paying attention to him, easily pushed the iron arrow away with a backhand.
The archer is not a soft persimmon, and he quickly shot a double arrow!
However, such a trick is still a piece of cake for Cons, who has been facing the rain of arrows for many years. When the archers were unwilling to give up and ready to attack again, Cons had already hidden in the woods and disappeared.
"Okay, Anda, don't act anymore, can't you get up?" The archer did not look annoyed, but instead put down the bow and arrow with a relaxed and comfortable look, and said to the big man lying on the ground.
"Oh, it's so deadly. If that guy's foot has more strength, I'm afraid my ribs will be broken." The big man, known as Anda, rubbed his chest and got up.
The archer didn't care: "Really and false? This ghost is so uncomfortable." While speaking, he took off his mask, revealing his face a little weak, and handsome, a bit like a woman's appearance.
"Will I tell such a lie?" Anda also took off her mask and showed a strong man with a sturdy appearance that matched his body. At this moment, he grinned with his teeth and sweated coldly.
Seeing this scene, the archer was surprised: "That guy is so powerful? I thought he was just agile."
"Hey, the marshal's personal guard is really powerful. A private has such ability. Levin, aren't you known as an invincible arrow? Why don't you put a few wounds on him? I'm afraid he won't take it seriously if he lets him go back without any injuries." Anda stretched out his muscles and found that there was nothing serious about it, so he picked up a big knife and hung it back to his waist.
"Do you think I don't want it? He blocked the arrows he shot... It's strange, how could a private soldier have such ability? We have seen the marshal's personal guards before, and even the major-level people cannot block the arrows I shot, let alone kick you away with one kick." The archer, who was called Levin, looked puzzled.
"Hey, it must be a master whom the Marshal's personal guards have been taken from somewhere. However, the Marshal's personal guard's torch is too strict. Even if he has the ability, he has to rise from the bottom step by step. It is better for other troops to climb to the thigh of a high-ranking nobleman. The promotion is not like flying." Anda said.
"You can't say that. It doesn't matter if you climb to your thigh. People who haven't climbed to your thigh want to sharpen their heads and drill into the marshal's personal guards." Levin frowned.
"Hey, anyway, I think this rigid promotion method is too out of date. For example, we adults, with his ability, are more than enough to be a legion commander, but now they are just a captain. What credit does not make enough credit? Isn't it because we are trapped in the imperial capital? What credit can we do when we stay in the imperial capital?" Anda was dissatisfied.
Levin thought for a while and asked, "Anda, why do you think we want us to remind them of ambushing here this time? Wouldn't it be better to let the Mandala thieves kill a large number of marshal guards? Isn't this more prominent among marshal guards?"
Anda nodded: "I think it should be because of the marshal's personal expedition. The master's plan is to weaken the outstanding officers among the marshal's personal guards, but he never wanted to put His Excellency into danger.
"According to the arrangement of the Mandala thieves, if the Marshal is in trouble, he may be killed when the Marshal's personal guards break out of the encirclement."
Levin sighed: "Oh, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. If we hadn't received the information, I'd probably not know that this time the Marshal was personally expeditioning. By the way, would the soldier report the situation truthfully? After all, we are so mysterious, I'm afraid he doesn't know what's going on."
"As long as he reports the ambush and explains our dress, the officers of the Marshal's personal guard will understand... They may have a meal. Well, let's go back and continue to be thieves." Anda said and walked out.
"Oh, I don't know when we will be cancelled as a thief?" Levin sighed.
"It's almost done. When the lord becomes the major, we will be the lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lor
"I hope that my elders will make merits as soon as possible. Our tribe members have been waiting for too long." Levin was very touched.
"Sure enough, sir, let our clan regain its glory." Anda nodded for sure.
"Who?" Several alert archers raised their bows and aimed at Cons.
"I, Private Cons, are ordered by the sergeant to report the information to the captain." Cons quickly stood at attention and saluted. There was no way, any of them were non-commissioned officers.
The archer glanced at Cons's private rank and nodded to let Cons pass.
Although these alert archers had never seen Cons, they knew that there was a new recruit in their team, and the enemy could not pretend to be a private guard of the marshal.
The only new privateer like Cons, the entire Marshal's Personal Guard Division, cannot be faked at all.
The major captain met Cons: "Private, what information do you have?"
"Sir, we found a gathering place of the thieves by a stream twenty kilometers ahead, with about five hundred people and thousands of horses." Cons quickly reported the information he knew.
The major did not continue to ask, but instead looked at a captain beside him.
The captain nodded and said, "Based on the total number of people in the Mandala thieves we have mastered, minus the people who have been eliminated throughout the way, this number of people should be all the thieves."
When Cons heard this, he was stunned.
These five hundred people are the remnants of the thieves group? Is there so few? But he didn't know how many thieves the marshal's personal guards had wiped out along the way, so he thought that it should be so many.
The major looked at the captain again, then stood up suddenly: "This is not enough for our brigade to eat. Don't wait for the marshal. We will first eliminate the thieves in one fell swoop and let the name of the Mandala thieves disappear from now on!"
Hearing this, the guards around him immediately cheered loudly, and some impatient ones had already stepped on their horses and were waiting to set off.
Others didn't pay attention, but Cons found that the lieutenant and the major looked at each other a little strangely. However, he did not take this in his heart, but instead hurriedly said: "Sir, when his subordinates came back, they were ambushed by two mysterious people, which is probably related to the thieves."
"Ambushes?" the major and the captain raised their eyebrows.
The lieutenant captain of the squad to which Cons belonged asked anxiously: "Who ambush you? Is the others okay?"
Several team leaders who sent the Investigation Army also leaned over with concern.
"The others were still monitoring the thieves on the spot, and they were ambushing two men wearing leather masks, one with a knife and the other with a bow, and the one with a bow was using an iron arrow." Cons said hurriedly.
"Maskman! Iron Arrow!" Everyone took a breath and shouted: "The two deputy commanders of the Mandala Rogue!"
The major and the captain were even more shocked and looked incredible.
Cons was also surprised.
The one who came to ambush him was actually the deputy leader of the Mandala Rogue? Of course, Cons also found the suspicious eyes around him.
Cons could only smile bitterly at this point. How could he explain that he could escape safely under the ambush of the deputy commander of the thieves? Could it be that he is amazing?
Cons's team leader immediately patted his shoulder and praised: "The boy is so powerful that he can actually run out of the joint efforts of the two of them."
He said to the suspicious eyes around him casually: "Don't doubt, Cons is very powerful, even the Marshal's personal praise. Besides, if Cons is a thief spy, it is impossible to let the deputy commander of the thief group be an ambush. It's better to just say it alone, how can you find such an excuse to make you doubt?"
Hearing this, his gaze went away with doubt, and everyone looked at the Major Captain.
The major, who had already restrained his surprise, smiled and said, "Haha, this means that there are no soldiers available in the thieves group, and they actually released people like the deputy regiment commander to warn him."
Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed and he said anxiously: "No! We must speed up. Since they ambushed our reconnaissance troops, they must have discovered our intentions. Hurry up! Everyone gets on the horse and follows me, don't let them run away!"
Without thinking about it, everyone got on the team one after another. They didn't want to find the gathering place of the thieves, but let them run away.
Of course, Cons, the private, also turned over and held his weapons in his hand to fight.
Before leading the team away, the major said to the captain: "Tele to lead a small team, stay here and wait for the marshal."
"Yes!" the captain saluted.
Chapter completed!
