Blood Lord of War

Chapter 54 Desperate Choice
This is an unfair battle, and the horse bandits have an absolute advantage.They have more troops, they shoot better, and they run faster.

The horse bandits did not attack by force, they kept firing arrows around the caravan formation, consuming the caravan's strength little by little.

The caravan's casualties were gradually increasing. Under the dense arrow rain, guards kept falling to the ground with arrows. Whether they died on the spot or fell to the ground crying in pain, it was a heavy blow to the morale of the caravan.

The poor horses pulling carts in the caravan also suffered from the arrow rain. They didn't know how to hide, and their huge size made them have nowhere to hide.

A nanny horse was shot in the head by random arrows and fell to the ground dead on the spot. The horse next to it was frightened, and immediately broke away from the rein in panic, ran around in the car formation, and even jumped out of the car formation.

Although there were a few people on the horse bandit's side who fell from the horse, the exchange ratio between the two sides was too poor. Five people from the caravan fell, and only one horse bandit fell from the horse.

According to this trend, Janna and the others will soon be wiped out.

The horse bandits seemed not in a hurry to end the battle as soon as possible. They regarded it as a hunting game. They slowed down the rhythm of archery and began to play with the frightened caravan guards.

Jana saw with her own eyes that an arrow was shot in the back of a caravan guard, but the arrow might not have penetrated deep into the flesh, and he did not die immediately. He endured the excruciating pain, and with the arrow on his back, he struggled forward on the ground. Crawling, wanting to climb to safety under the wagon.

But then, the second arrow shot over again, hitting his back again.

At this time, he was not dead yet, but he couldn't move anymore, so he could only lie on the grass, moaning in pain, allowing the life to drain from his body quickly.

Another guard wanted to go forward to save him, but just as he leaned out of the carriage, he was shot through the neck by an arrow. The moment he fell down, a big mouthful of blood foamed out of his mouth.

Janna heard the horse bandits laughing. They laughed mockingly as they hunted down the caravan members, as if they were enjoying the thrill of "hunting".

The yellow-haired Woolley curled up beside Janna, he was terrified, his hands holding the cross sword couldn't stop shaking.

He panicked and asked loudly: "Captain, what should we do?"

While he was questioning, another caravan member was shot and fell down.

Of the [-] caravan members, [-] have already fallen. If this continues, they will be shot and killed one by one by the horse bandits like rabbits.

The other members of the caravan had lost their fighting spirit. In the face of the absolute difference in strength, they were like balloons. Their courage quickly disappeared from their bodies like a leak. These guards didn't want to make unnecessary resistance anymore.

Several guards ran up to Janna, and they begged fearfully, "Captain, if the fight continues, we will all die, or...surrender."

Others followed suit: "Captain, surrender."

"We don't want to die in this wasteland."

Seeing everyone's frightened faces, the courage in Janna's heart was also rapidly disappearing.

At this moment, Robin's resolute face could not help appearing in her mind - it would be great if he was here.

Janna gritted her teeth hard, she was very angry, but there was nothing she could do.She didn't have much time to think. When she was hesitating, every minute and every second, her caravan was dying.

In the end, she could only make one painful decision: surrender.

They had no chance of winning. This battle had turned into a one-sided hunting game. In order to save the lives of the remaining people, Janna could only choose to surrender.

"Okay, surrender."

Janna felt as if there was a big stone stuck in her chest, she took a deep breath, exhausted all her strength, and shouted loudly to the horse bandits outside:

"Stop shooting! We surrender!"

Hearing Janna's shout, Saber immediately raised his hand: "Stop shooting!"

The horse bandits ran around the car formation again, and then slowly stopped.

Then Janna dropped her weapon and stepped out of the caravan alone.

She opened her hands, indicating that she was unarmed, and shouted to the saber: "We surrender, and we are willing to hand over the goods, but you must guarantee our lives."

The saber was riding on the horseback, with a smug smile on Hei's face: "Don't worry, as long as you hand over the money obediently, I won't kill you. After all, if we kill all of you, who will we eat next time?"

After speaking, he pointed at Janna with the whip.

"However, if you dare to resist me, I have to teach you a lesson. Come here, I won't kill you."

Janna was flustered, she didn't know what the saber was going to do, but in this situation, she had no other choice.

So, she hesitated for a moment, took a step, and walked slowly to the saber horse.

Saber stared at Janna: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pretty little face, it would be a pity if it gets messed up."

Suddenly, the saber flicked out the whip, and the whip hit Janna's right cheek.

Janna screamed and fell to the ground.

She covered her cheeks in pain, and blood slowly flowed down her cheeks from under her palms.

The horse bandits immediately burst into a burst of arrogant laughter, bullying women is their favorite entertainment.

"Everyone who told you to get out of the carriage, we will drive the carriage away." Saber roared viciously.

The caravan guards threw down their weapons and came out of the caravan one by one dejectedly. Some of them were injured and limped while clutching their wounds. Some of them carried the corpse of their companions on a stretcher in groups of two.

Then, under the scolding of the horse bandits, they stood in a line in the open space.The two horse bandits carried a big cloth bag and began to search for valuables on them.

Woolley was also standing in the team. He saw two horse bandits approaching from the left, getting closer and closer, and his heart suddenly panicked.

On his hand is the wedding ring given to him by his wife. If the horse bandits find out, the ring will definitely be taken away by them.

How to do?
Woolley was quick to wit, he took off the ring from his ring finger calmly, then pretended to cough, covered his mouth with his palm, threw the ring into his mouth, and pressed it under his tongue.

He thought he was perfect, but all his small movements were seen by the saber.

"That one over there, what did you put in your mouth?" Saber pointed at Woolley with a whip, and shouted angrily.

Having robbed outside for so many years, Saber has long been familiar with Wooley's little tricks, and his eyes are more vicious than a falcon.

Woolley was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his mind went blank for an instant. He wanted to open his mouth to argue, but the ring was pressed under his tongue, so he could only shake his head desperately.

But in this way, he simply did not ask himself.

Saber jumped off the horse angrily, strode up to Wu Li, and punched him hard in the stomach.

Woolley was bent over, and the ring came out of his mouth.

"See what this is? A gold ring."

Saber bent down, picked up the ring from the grass, and put it on the ring finger of his left hand.

"Haha, it's just the right size for me."

Seeing his important ring being snatched away, Woolley panicked. He begged for mercy: "My lord, this is my wedding ring. It was given to me by my wife. It is very important to me. I can give you whatever you want. Just leave me this ring."

Saber looked up at Wu Li, with a fierce look in his eyes, he suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist, and stabbed Wu Li in the stomach.

Woolley's eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell powerlessly on the grass.

Saber held a blood-dripping dagger, and with a fierce expression on his face, he yelled at the other caravan members: "Anyone who dares to play tricks is just like him!"

"Woolley!"

Janna screamed and rushed over, her hands quickly covered the wound on Wu Li's stomach, and the blood soon stained her palms red.

The saber put the dagger back into its sheath, he looked down at Janna presumptuously, and suddenly asked, "Your name is Janna, right?"

Janna raised her head in astonishment, and looked at the saber: "How do you know my name?"

Saber didn't answer. He smiled cruelly and said to Janna:

"Remember, from now on, this area will be Lao Tzu's territory. Next time you come, bring more road money, otherwise I will kill you alive if I get upset someday."

After finishing speaking, Saber laughed triumphantly, turned back to his horse, and got on his horse.

He waved his whip and urged the other horse bandits: "Hurry up, hurry up, finish the work, call it a day!"
