On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen felt as if his face was caressed by willow branches in the spring breeze. When he opened his eyes slightly, he found that the hair was green and the smell was like a grassland full of wild flowers. His chin rested on the man's back shoulder, and his head rested against the other person's ear.

There was the rumble of horse hooves all around, and then Xiao Chen found himself in the middle of the horse team, and he was tied to a rider. He felt sore all over, the aftereffects of extreme muscle tension and fatigue. When his soul was invaded by those painful images, his body was also tested. He tried to straighten up, and instantly felt as if the muscles in his waist and abdomen were torn apart, and he couldn't help but scream.

The rider turned around, and Xiao Chen found that he was tied to the little girl Catalina. He was half a head taller than Caterina. He came all the way and lay on top of her, which must have exhausted her.

"Ah, Xiao, Mr. Xiao, you're awake." Catalina didn't know why, but when she realized that Xiao Chen was awake, she was so nervous that she stuttered.

"How long have you been carrying me?"

"No, not long, just a little while."

Xiao Chen touched the clothes on his chest and abdomen, which were a little damp. It seemed that he had been sticking to the other person for a long time. He looked at the sky again and said, "Since we left Phoenix Village, you have been carrying me, right?"

"They are all vying to carry you, but they are all too heavy. The two of them affect the horse power. I am lighter and my riding skills are better than them."

Xiao Chen gently patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

However, he found that the other party's body trembled, and instead of answering, he whipped his horse twice with the riding crop.

Xiao Chen said: "It seems that you are quite afraid of me. In fact, I am a very friendly person. What happened last time was really a misunderstanding. I apologize to you."

Catalina held the reins tightly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "It's all my fault."

Xiao Chen looked from behind and found that her ears were red and her cheeks were like tomatoes, which made her even more cute. However, he would not pay any attention to such a little girl.

"Don't worry about it. There is an old saying here that people can't help themselves in the world. I didn't use that magic against you."

"Stop talking. You..." Catalina exclaimed, her hand slipped, and she even dropped the riding crop. Her face turned redder and redder, and the reins in her hands tightened tighter and tighter. The black horse under the seat shook its head in displeasure.

"We don't know each other before we fight..."

Catalina suddenly looked back at Xiao Chen, and there seemed to be... murderous intent in her green eyes?

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that he was so stupid that he kept mentioning the fact that a little girl peed her pants in front of her. He laughed twice and asked, "Where are we going?"

Caterina did not answer, she whistled, and a white horse came up from behind. She pulled out the dagger from her boot, cut the rope tied around their waists with one knife, held up her hands, and kicked her feet. He got on the white horse. That vigorous look was completely different from the embarrassment he had just stuttered about.

In the blink of an eye, the person in front of Xiao Chen disappeared. Xiao Chen lost his center of gravity and fell on the horse's back. His nose came into close contact with the horse's neck, which made him cry out in pain.

The mercenaries on the surrounding horses burst into laughter, and Catalina also giggled. "You're awake. I have to report to the boss."

As soon as she pinched the horse's belly, the white horse ran away and jumped out in the blink of an eye.

When Xiao Chen rode to the front of the team, Catalina had disappeared. Kalanda said that she had taken the initiative to become a scout again. Chen Hansheng and others were very happy to see Xiao Chen wake up.

"Old Xiao, are you guys enjoying yourself? Do you feel comfortable letting a big girl carry you?" Cai Long asked narrowly.

Xiao Chen raised a hand and said, "Do I want to scare you and make you feel good?" Cai Long immediately closed his mouth.

"Or do you want to come?" He looked at Li Tianrui, who shook his head repeatedly and said, "But if someone is crying and shouting that he wants to carry you, maybe, hehe..."

"Don't talk nonsense, girls want reputation." After saying this, he no longer ignored the laughing people, but asked about Karanda's current situation.

Kalanda said: "We are chasing horse thieves. Judging from the traces, this team of horse thieves has about one hundred, sixty or seventy people. Judging from the number of people, we guess that they are several horse thieves groups operating together, about half a mile away from us. Tian distance. Mr. Chen finally decided to chase them and annihilate the thieves in the wild. "

"The leader is a man with blue hair." Xiao Chen said with slightly narrowed eyes.

As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, several people around him fell silent. They looked at each other, wondering why Xiao Chen made this assertion.

"Did you use prophecy magic?" Callanda asked carefully.

"I saw the scene at that time." Xiao Chen said, "This man was very cruel. He used a scimitar. He always raised the knife from bottom to top. He killed many people in the village, including Xiao Chen. Children are not spared either. Another tough guy is a bald man with a long-handled axe. He likes to cut people in half. There is also a woman who uses a bow and arrow. She likes to kill people like hunting, and every arrow hits people. head."

"Mess! It must be 'Blue Wolf' Mess. This guy has always been ruthless. If you go from his territory to Floro, you will definitely pass through Phoenix Village." Kalanda said, looking at several companions around him. His eyes turned red, "We finally met him."

"Mess, damn Mess, that bald head must be Russ, these two bitches killed Edo, I'm going to smash them!" said the giant Gamero, slapping his thigh.

"That bitch must be 'Falcon Eyes' Monica. Bastian died in her hands. Boss, last time we didn't even see her face clearly, this time we must fight for Bastian's death." Revenge!" Adams and several Calanda teammates shouted. A few even drew their weapons.

"These people are all the fierce bandit leaders around. Not only Lan Yan has a grudge against them, but also several of our regiments have blood debts owed by them!" said Ossa, the leader of the Iron Ax Regiment. The Horse Thieves Group and the Mercenary Group are like a pair of spears and shields. In the past missions, they have clashed with each other countless times.

Kalanda looked at Xiao Chen, "Sir."

"I understand." Xiao Chen said, "I, like you, have revenge to avenge!"

———————————————————————

In the dark night, Xiao Chen lurked in the woods, looking at the horse thieves camp on the small slope ahead. The horse thieves had set up tents and simple fences around the bonfire on the slope. The bonfire was very obvious in the night, and the light of the fire made people move around the camp. The figures turned into huge figures, reflected on the trees like giants dancing. The sound of singing and playing was faintly coming from the camp, and it really looked like people from another world were camping in the wild. However, when he thought that there was a group of bloodthirsty butchers hidden in this quiet joy, Xiao Chen wanted to turn this camp into a sea of ​​fire.

Most of the horse thieves seemed to be tired after traveling, looting and venting their anger during the day. After a while, there were no more people walking around in the open space outside the tent. Many simply fell drunk and fell asleep beside the bonfire, sleeping in the open air.

"Master Xiao, can your magic knock down the position of the bonfire? If the power of fear can erupt from the middle of the camp, the action will be much easier." Kalanda knelt down beside him and asked softly.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes, sensed it calmly for a while, shook his head and said: "It's too far. My fear magic can't reach that far. Maybe I can go with you and release it closer."

"It's too dangerous. Since you hired us, we can't let you take risks before we fall. Since there is no magic, let's rely on our swords." Kalanda flatly rejected Xiao Chen's proposal.

There are thousands of ways to rob the camp in the story, but in the real world, it is nothing more than pulling out the sentries, setting fire to the camp, taking advantage of the chaos to kill people, and blocking escape routes.

Xiao Chen and the others secretly followed the horse thieves here. They used a slightly superior force to surround the opponent's camp in the dark. They had already taken advantage of the right time, place and people. If they couldn't defeat the horse thieves like this, Kalanda and the others could easily Killed myself. The key tonight is actually how to minimize the loss.

After discussing with the mercenary leaders including Kalanda, Xiao Chen and others simply divided the team into four groups. Cole, the half-elf archer, led about thirty archers to pull out the sentries and set fire to them. Katarina led a team of The small team is responsible for capturing the war horses. Kalanda and Chen Hansheng led a team of nearly a hundred people to raid the camp. Xiao Chen and Li Tianrui each led a team of about fifty people to guard the two passages to the outside of the camp.

————————————————————————

Xiao Chen led the team on a trek through the woods, because the road he was responsible for blocking was on the other side of the camp. In order to prevent the horse thieves from discovering their movements, they could only make a large circle.

He walked a little slowly, fearing to make too much noise. Next to him was Calanda's deputy, another fighter with fighting spirit, Adams. For some reason, he was wearing mail armor, but he still made less noise when walking than Xiao Chen. The same was true for the mercenaries behind him. A large group of people walked in the forest full of fallen leaves, making only a gentle rustling sound.

Xiao Chen felt quite uneasy. Everyone knew that war was the most unpredictable thing. Maybe a small thing would cause the outcome to be very different from what people predicted. However, in order to maintain the calmness that a leader should have, he had to endure his temper and try to be very calm. He kept looking for various reasons in his mind to tell himself that the goddess of victory must be on their side today.

He secretly observed Adams walking in front, but this young soldier looked confident.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask him: "Adams, you seem to be very confident."

Adams' face was a little red, and the excitement on his face had not subsided: "Sir, today is the day when Max will die. I promised Leo to bring Max's head to his hospital bed, and I will definitely do it."

"You guys have such a good relationship. It's very different from other people. Like..."

"It's like a family. Yes, thanks to the boss. Many of us were brought up by her. For example, she taught me my fighting spirit. She is my sister, and Leo is mine. Brother, we are a family," Adams said with a smile.

Suddenly, a wolf howled from far away, but halfway through the roar, the sound stopped abruptly. Soon, shouts of killing and screams came from the forest again.

"Oops, sir, they launched the attack in advance." Adams suddenly looked at the flaming sky and said, "The operation must have been discovered."

Xiao Chen's forehead was covered with sweat in the cold wind. He thought for a moment and said, "We must speed up and reach the ambush point."

Adams nodded and urged the other mercenaries to speed up. At this time, they didn't care about hiding their whereabouts and all ran fast. Xiao Chen ran, but he was a little worried. Kalanda and Lao Chen didn't make a surprise attack in secret. Will they have to face the prepared enemy directly this time? Those shrill screams reminded him of the crazy killing figures of the bandits in the memory fragments, and he always unconsciously matched these sounds with the faces of Lao Chen and others.

Can Kalanda and his men really deal with these lunatics?

Xiao Chen said to Adams hesitantly: "When we reach the intersection, do we need to rush back and give some support to Kalanda and the others? Will the attacking team be unable to hold on?"

Adams looked at him strangely and said: "The boss and several leaders are very powerful warriors. The number of masters in their team alone exceeds that of the horse thieves. You can rest assured that even if we set up the battle formation fairly, we are not afraid of them."

"Besides, the horse thieves are at a disadvantage now."

"How do you know?"

"In battle, nothing is more deadly than chaos. I heard from the horse thieves that they have not yet organized themselves and are fighting in a hurry. They will definitely be defeated by our people." Adams said affirmatively.
