Let's rewind time to a moment ago.
Henry held a straw in his mouth as he hid in the thick grass and observed the path ahead.
This could not even be considered a path. It was just that the savages often stepped on it, and it barely looked like a path.
Unless it was a surprise attack, even the Ogres did not like to cross the mountains.
Thus, Wu Ming brought them here early and busied himself for half a day and an entire night.
Now, it was time to reap the rewards.
Henry looked at the black dots in the distance, and his expression tensed up. He was no longer as careless as before.
A wave of black dots appeared and squirmed at an extremely slow speed. It was the wave of Ogres!
Behind them, there was a circle of captives strung up with straw ropes. Many of them were savages, but there were also a few soldiers and mercenaries!
They were dejected and had bloodstains on their bodies. If they walked any slower, they would be whipped immediately.
Around a hundred Ogres and another hundred captives caused the troop to swell. No matter how they were beaten and scolded, they could only advance at a slow speed.
"There are women and children?"
Henry licked his lips, and suddenly felt less afraid. "So the Ogres are men too … Hehe … With such a large troop, we can only choose the easiest path. The leader's prediction was right!"
He slowly retreated and gave a signal.
"Be careful, the Ogres are coming!"
Wu Ming looked at the huge rock in front of him, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I'll leave this place to you, Andrew!"
"Don't worry!"
Andrew waved his axe. "Old Andrew may not be able to fight the Ogres head on, but he can do something like this, and take revenge!"
"Very good!"
Wu Ming patted Andrew's shoulder. He believed in the power of hatred.
Shortly after, he came to the last location of the plan, before the main road.
There, Heim and Gail, as well as a horse, were already waiting.
"When it starts, I'll rush in to save the people, and Heim will provide support. Gail, look after the horse. Once I save the knight, we'll run together. Understood?"
He repeated his plan.
"Understood!"
Both of them answered very loudly, but Wu Ming's heart was filled with silent ridicule.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the front. The ogres had arrived!
On the slope, Andrew gulped as he looked at the Ogre army, his limbs trembling.
The scar on his face throbbed, especially at his ears. That heart-wrenching feeling surfaced in his heart again.
"Perhaps … I have already lost my bravery!"
He took a deep breath and raised his axe high. "But I haven't lost my courage! Die, cannibal bastards! "
Peng!
He ruthlessly chopped down the taut vines in front of him.
Crash. In front of him, a wave of wooden blocks and rolling stones suddenly rushed down the slope as if they had fallen apart.
Rumble! Rumble!
As they continued moving, the rolling logs and rocks accumulated terrifying kinetic energy and potential energy, which allowed them to evolve into monsters that could devour everything.
Pa!
A boulder the size of a millstone crushed a few Ogre vanguards into meat paste in an instant.
Bang!
On the other side, Henry also started to make his move.
With the arrival of more rolling logs, the Ogres fell into chaos.
Or rather, it became more chaotic.
"Andrew … Rest in peace!"
After doing all this, Andrew could not help but murmur to himself as he looked at the chaotic Ogres below him.
Immediately after, he fled without looking back, his figure quickly disappearing into the thicket.
This was the mission that William had given him. After completing it, the only thing he needed to do was to consider his own life.
"Roar!"
The sudden attack caused at least a dozen Ogres to turn into meat paste on the spot. Many more had light injuries as they charged fiercely towards the slope in front of them.
"It's time!"
Wu Ming suddenly said as he looked at the scene. With a flash of his sword, Gail's head fell off.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
Heim immediately jumped back a few steps and looked at Wu Ming in fear.
"Whose people are you? Arthur, or Fayd? "
Wu Ming's sword was dripping with blood as he walked forward without a care. When he saw Heim's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
Ever since he had transmigrated, he had only formed enmity with these two fellows who had some power. Now that he had tested them, he naturally understood.
"As expected, in this world … good people are the least!"
Wu Ming sighed and suddenly stepped forward. His steel sword rippled with a bright light as he suddenly stabbed forward like a bolt of lightning.
Pa!
Heim pulled out a dagger and barely managed to block the first strike. His expression was one of disbelief. "How did you see through us?"
"When a person lies, their heartbeat and blood flow will change slightly …"
Wu Ming's sword did not stop. "Also … even if I guessed wrongly, I did not lose anything, right? At least you have worked for me for a night, and the people of Niyah Town will only know that you died at the hands of the Ogres! "
Poof!
After one move, he had already knocked away Heim's dagger. Ignoring his pleas for mercy, he stabbed the tip of his sword into Heim's throat.
"Even without all this, I would not leave my escape route in the hands of people like you … It's too dangerous!"
He pulled on the reins and immediately mounted his warhorse. He whipped it in satisfaction. "As expected of a knight's warhorse. You are not frightened at all when faced with such a situation. Let's go!"
"Neigh!"
The warhorse neighed and charged along the road.
After a kilometer, a somewhat chaotic group appeared in front of Wu Ming.
The wind howled on both sides, and the faint roars of the Ogres could be heard.
"Not bad! The Ogres are very powerful and savage … But you don't have a spear formation or long-range weapons! "
Wu Ming laughed loudly. His spirit and that of the horse were connected, and he entered a strange state.
"Die … for me!"
He shouted loudly, and the warhorse leaped high into the air. He took advantage of the momentum and slashed with the sword in his hand.
Poof!
An Ogre blocking in front of him was instantly split into two, and the two halves of the corpse fell to the ground, dripping with blood.
This strike had exceeded the limits of an ordinary person!
This was the power of a human and horse!
The reason why a knight's charge could destroy everything was because he had mastered this power!
Wu Ming felt every inch of his skin tense up. His eyes vigilantly observed his surroundings and the road, nimbly maneuvering the warhorse to avoid the depressions and traps on the road. If he encountered something he could not avoid, he would charge straight through it.
Poof! Poof!
Blood splattered everywhere!
If Knight Takur had seen this scene, he would have been extremely shocked. Wu Ming, as an ordinary person, had done something that only a well-prepared knight could do — pierce through!
This chaotic ogre team was actually pierced through by Wu Ming with the strength of one man and one horse!
Of course, to achieve this was a matter of luck. There were too many factors at play.
For example, Wu Ming's body was not ordinary.
Also, the Ogres lacked defensive equipment, and only had a few pieces of animal hide on them.
In addition, they did not have bows, arrows, or spears. The rocks that were thrown with ropes were of no threat to Wu Ming.
The accumulation of this series of factors suddenly allowed Wu Ming to complete this amazing feat!
Unfortunately, there were only a bunch of Ogres in the audience.
"Die!"
Wu Ming weaved about, and with a wave of his hand, a few heads fell to the ground. He could not help but roar to his heart's content.
"As expected, only iron and blood, riding and killing, are the romance of men!"
He went deeper, causing the Ogres to shout Tulu's name and piss their pants in fear. Finally, he reached the captives.
"If you don't want to be eaten and kept as food, pick up your weapons and fight back! Run!"
He killed the Ogre guard with one slash and quickly untied the guards and barbarians, shouting loudly.
In the next moment, he was in front of Takur.
… …
There was a commotion, and the ground shook.
Takur forced his eyes open, using his remaining consciousness to observe his surroundings.
A few Ogres had already fallen. Immediately, a youth with flaxen hair and beautiful eyes came over and stretched out his hand. "Sir Knight?!"
At that moment, Takur felt as if he had seen his savior, and two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Lord, have you finally heard my prayers?"
That was what he said in his heart. Then, as if riding on a cloud, he flew onto the back of his horse.
"Let's go!"
The warhorse neighed and galloped away. Before the enraged Ogre warriors could return to surround them, they left the battlefield in a cloud of dust.
Behind them, the captives who had been freed began their most intense and futile resistance for the sake of their lives and souls …
… …
Beside a small stream, Wu Ming tied the warhorse to a tree and untied Takur. "Sir? Sir? I am William! "
Takur tried to open his mouth, but could not say much.
"You've been forced to drink too much devil flowers, but it's nothing serious. Don't worry!"
Wu Ming, who was determined to study herbology, was naturally familiar with such simple symptoms. "I swear in my name that I will bring you out of here!"
He looked at the anesthetized Takur, "Now, let me examine your wounds!"
The armor on Takur's body had naturally been stripped off as spoils of war. This was something that Wu Ming was rather glad about. Otherwise, he would not have had the time to strip off Takur's armor on the battlefield just now. It was already a bit difficult for a warhorse to bear the weight of two people. It was absolutely impossible to add on an astonishingly heavy armor!
Takur's other injuries were still manageable. Even the arrow at the back of his waist had been removed, and the bleeding had been stopped. Evidently, the Ogres did not want him to die immediately.
Wu Ming fetched some water from the stream and fed Takur. Then, in the name of healing, he unceremoniously probed the knight's secrets.
"Thank you …"
Takur thanked Wu Ming with difficulty as the cold stream water finally brought some feeling to his numb tongue. He did not know that he had already been used as a guinea pig by Wu Ming.
