Although the resistance of the village was unexpectedly tenacious, in the face of overwhelming strength, the village soon showed signs of collapse.
After all, a single Takur Knight was enough to pin down most of the barbarians, not to mention the thirty well-trained and well-equipped soldiers.
After Takur chopped off the head of what seemed to be their leader, the barbarians screamed and cried, falling into despair.
"Haha … Prepare the ropes and tie up the captives!"
Takur laughed heartily as he passed down the order.
At this point, even the regular soldiers were stimulated by their savagery and bestiality, throwing all discipline to the winds as they began to search for women and money.
Wu Ming's mercenaries, who had been cowering and hiding at the back during the battle, displayed indescribable bravery at this moment, running in front of the soldiers.
Under their lead, the original soldiers also dispersed in an uproar.
Fortunately, the enemy had given up on resisting, and there seemed to be no danger.
The raging flames were mixed with the sounds of fighting, the cries of women, and the sobs of the elderly and children. It was like a picture from hell.
Wu Ming slowed down slightly. He did not fight for the spoils of war, nor did he rush to find women like his subordinates. Instead, he looked around him.
After the chaotic battle just now, only Andrew, Henry, and two of his former mercenaries were by his side.
"While there were some twists and turns, it's still going well … Am I imagining things?"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat, but the sense of danger did not diminish in the slightest. He could not help but look around cautiously.
"Put out the fire quickly! You idiots who only care about your own crotch! Don't burn the granary! "
Takur Knight stood at the highest point and shouted loudly, "The rest of you, prepare the ropes and tie up the captives. We only want adult men and women … Urgh!"
Suddenly, a bone arrow shot out from the darkness. Like a venomous snake, it found a gap in Takur's armour and viciously burrowed into the back of his waist.
Takur Knight screamed and half-knelt on the ground.
"That archer from the hidden sentry!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed, and he immediately dashed towards the place where the arrow had been shot.
* Whoosh! *
Halfway through his run, another bone arrow shot towards him, this time aimed at his eyes.
However, his agility was incomparable to Takur's. With a flash, he dodged the bone arrow and rushed into an ordinary wooden house.
The thin wooden planks couldn't stop his brute force at all. With just one slash, the door was split open.
Amidst the flying grass, he saw a nimble figure jumping down from the roof.
She carried a longbow on her back, and her appearance could not be seen clearly in the darkness. However, her eyes were shining like a wild female leopard.
"Woman?!"
Wu Ming was slightly surprised in his heart, but the long sword in his hand slashed over without hesitation.
Once they were on the battlefield, they were all warriors. There was no difference between men and women.
What's more, this woman's archery skills were pretty good. If she was surrounded, she could pose a threat to him. Yet, he was still in the mood to have tender feelings for the fairer sex. Wasn't he courting death?
"The lord's hound!"
At such a close distance, it was clearly too late to nock an arrow. The woman cursed and pulled out a dagger. She lowered her body and bent her waist slightly, like a bow filled with explosive power. She dodged Wu Ming's slash, and the dagger in her hand stabbed forward like the fangs of a viper.
"The strength of this village is somewhat beyond imagination …"
Wu Ming leaned slightly to the side and slashed. Looking at the woman who had nimbly jumped away and turned to run without hesitation, a thought came to his mind.
Whether it was her or her previous opponent, they all seemed to have gone through a certain amount of formal training, and their skills were quite good.
If not for the fact that their equipment was too poor and they were ambushed, it would be hard to say whether or not his side would have been able to take them down.
However, at this moment, he immediately drew his longbow and shot an arrow at the woman's back.
"Poof!"
Even in this environment, his keen senses played an excellent role. Wu Ming clearly saw the woman's shoulder burst into a flower of blood, and she fell limply to the side of the road.
He rushed forward and raised his longsword.
When he got closer, he realized that the woman's figure was not bad. She was curvaceous and had perfect curves. There was even a hint of wildness about her, as if she was silently tempting people to conquer her.
But what kind of person was Wu Ming? Without blinking, his longsword was about to cut off the woman's head.
In the next moment, the woman on the ground suddenly bounced up. The dagger and the longsword collided again, and as expected, both shattered.
Wu Ming kicked her lower abdomen, and the longsword carelessly pressed against her white neck, slowly piercing through her skin and into her flesh.
"Your name?"
He asked in a low voice.
"Armored hound, ogre's accomplice, I am a noble daughter of the forest, and I will never yield to you!"
Hatred appeared on the woman's face. She suddenly walked forward and offered her neck to the tip of the sword.
Puff!
The sharp blade cut through her windpipe without any resistance. She fell into a pool of blood, her limbs twitching.
"Ogre's accomplice?"
Wu Ming had just heard the news and was puzzled. She had already chosen to commit suicide, which made his expression change. "Ogres?! Could it be that this village was not defending against us, but against the ogres in the wilderness? Oh no! "
The living conditions of the savages were extremely harsh, and they had to face danger at all times.
Not only did they have to defend against natural disasters and wild beasts, but they also had to defend against the pursuit of the feudal lords, and even the attacks of real savages!
Because in the eyes of the ogres, they were also food and reserves for the winter!
Wu Ming rushed out of the door in a few steps and saw the flames soaring into the sky. A large number of soldiers and mercenaries spread out to plunder money and satisfy their bestial desires. He shook his head inwardly.
"Henry! Andrew! If you want to live, come with me! "
He looked at the few subordinates who had caught up to him and quickly retreated to the edge of the village.
"Roar!"
In the next moment, howls that sounded like wild beasts rang out in the surroundings, rising and falling.
With the help of the moonlight and the flames, Wu Ming saw a huge wave of over a hundred people, howling as they charged towards the village.
They had the appearance of humans, but their faces were painted with blue and red colors. Their hair was disheveled, and they wore animal skins. In front of their chests hung beads made of all kinds of teeth and bones. They waved all kinds of bone and stone weapons as they fiercely rushed into the defenseless village.
"They're real savages … Haha … Ogres!"
Beside Wu Ming, Andrew's teeth were already chattering, and Henry's expression changed. "A trap? Since when did these savages know how to make use of this? "
Seeing the savages skillfully string straw ropes together and fly them around the necks of the soldiers, Wu Ming knew that the situation was hopeless.
If the two sides had met on the plains, with their training and equipment, they would have been able to put up a fight.
But now, the entire team had dispersed, and the soldiers were immersed in the joy of the spoils of war. Furthermore, their leader, Knight Takur, was heavily injured!
In this situation, unless he immediately had extraordinary powers, no one could turn the tide.
"Ow ow!"
A wave of more than a dozen savages had also discovered Wu Ming's group, and they howled as they charged towards them.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! "
Wu Ming quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. As he ran, he fired a string of arrows, and the few savages at the front fell limply to the ground with their tails still trembling.
"If you don't want to die, break out with me!"
Wu Ming shouted, tossing aside his bow and wielding his steel sword with both hands, he slashed forward.
"Pfft!"
Warm blood sprayed out, splattering all over his hands, but he couldn't care less about that now.
Behind him, many screams could be heard. One of the poor Joey's arms had been chopped off, and his neck was at a strange angle as he fell into a pool of blood.
"Kill!"
It was in times like this that Wu Ming's mind became calmer.
He turned and slashed with his sword, cutting through the thick wooden stick. The blade seemed to have a life of its own as it slashed through the gaps of the savage's bones, cutting him in half.
Although he had not activated his extraordinary powers, his speed and strength were already at the limits of an ordinary person. In terms of combat experience and skills, no one could compare to him.
"Turu! Turu!!! "
Even the savages knew fear, and they knew to bully the kind and fear the evil. After Wu Ming killed several of them, the other savages screamed in panic and ran back into the village, automatically opening up a path.
After all, compared to Wu Ming, who was not to be trifled with, there were more prey in the village that was easy to bully!
Turu, in the savages' language, had the meaning of demon, devil, and terrifying.
Clearly, they had already equated the cruel Wu Ming with these evils.
"Let's go!"
Using this rare opportunity, Wu Ming and his remaining subordinates immediately broke out of the encirclement.
After running out of the encirclement, he turned back for the last time to see Knight Takur and his two attendants knocked out, falling to the ground and tied up.
… …
The sun rose from the east.
The soldiers' camp was filled with a chill.
It had been chaotic last night, but a few lucky people had managed to break out and gathered here.
"Damn it! Damn it! "
Harry paced back and forth, looking at his dejected and heavily injured comrades. He suddenly squatted down and hugged his head. "Even the Ogres know how to scheme? What's wrong with this damned world? "
"They're not Ogres. They're savages like the savages, and they also have intelligence!"
Andrew sat on the ground and bandaged his wounds. He seemed to be thinking of something, and his eyes seemed to be in a trance.
"The key is that we've failed this time, and even Knight Takur has been captured …"
Harry wailed and looked at Wu Ming, "Boss, what should we do? Those Ogres are not nobles, and they have no interest in the glittering ransom … "
"I've decided!"
Wu Ming gobbled down the wheat cake and suddenly stood up, "Knight Takur is not dead, I'm going to rescue him!"
