Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Twisted Mile
Dagon, Toby and Lati at the well in the field , the others and the carriage are at the door of the farmhouse a little further away. So Toby took out a small whistle and blew it gu gu gu gu, as if imitating the sound of a frog.

Immediately afterwards, Gerlos on the other side of the convoy blew his whistle, and there were seven high-pitched sounds of varying intervals. Toby listened intently, then said to Dagon, "I've warned people, the boss said I heard, let's hide and surround."

"What does it mean to hide and surround?"

"Just hide first, don't join them. Then find a chance to touch those people to move sideways or back. If they are enemies, we can hit them completely unprepared." Toby motioned Dagon to squat down, Hidden behind the edge of the well. When he greeted Lati, the two found that Lati was shaking, complexion pale, and the smell of urine gradually dissipated.

"What's the matter?" Dagon grabbed Lati's cold hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, and my axe is here to protect you."

It can be seen that Lati is trying very hard to control her emotions, but her voice is still choked and stuttered. "Then... those people are bad guys and robbed my house. They have bells right away."

"Huh?" Toby picked up the whistle, croaked, and squatted with Lati. lower body.

If it wasn't for Dagon's help, the little girl would have to kneel on the ground all of a sudden.

"Sorry, it's urgent." The halfling bit his lower lip and pulled a dagger from his boot. His small size, small boots, and correspondingly small daggers. Dagon felt that the dagger was suitable for slicing apples, so let's just forget about the fight. So he took out his secondary weapon and gave him the short and broad sword as a two-handed sword.

"Lati, you have to hide." Dagon said, "If you can control your body, then climb down. If you think you can't, I will go down first and support you."

"I can do it." Lati pinched her face hard, then gritted her teeth. "I have the strength, I'm fine!"

"Alright then, bow down and listen to my command." Dagon turned his head to the side, looking at the cavalry in the distance. It was already dark and neither the moon nor the starlight was bright, which made stealth much easier. Dagon took a closer look and found that there was no Jiangu clansman among the people on horseback, which means they lacked dark vision. This also makes sense, since it's all humans riding horses to attack dwarves, and there are especially no dwarven cavalry here.

Dagon gave Lati an opportunity to lie down on the edge of the well and roll over. He squatted by the side and held Lati's hand until her feet and other hand stepped into the gap to stand firm, then let go.

"It's up to us, how to get around?" Dagon asked: "Do you usually have tactical arrangements for this?"

"We are caravans, not mercenaries, we are It will only be played on the spot." Toby said: "The only people in the team who can really fight are Geros, Maip, Tess and the dwarf brother, and the others can only rely on bravery. Where can there be real martial skills? My best hope is not to Let's fight."

"Yes, it's best not to fight. There are too many of them, and we can't control the casualties...but these people are not impossible to deal with." Dagon feels that the current weather is the best for them. A good helper, especially for "sparkling" rune. As long as you can't see it, it's easy to deal with.

In fact, Dagon is more suitable for the front, with comrades, and in the front row, which can greatly reduce the accidental injury of "Sparkling" rune. But the father taught that good warriors have a role to play in the team, and now that the team is the golden dog Chamber of Commerce, Dagon has to adapt their tactics.

"Let's go around that way and make a circle counterclockwise." Dagon pointed to the right side of the well and said, "Toby, do you see that relatively taller ridge?"

p>

"Vaguely visible. I see what you mean, I remember there was a ditch?"

"Yes, it is the ditch that leads the well water to the fields, so the sides are slightly Taller. You're small and you can hide." Dagon said, "Let's go counterclockwise to the other side of the field. There's bushes on the fence there to cover us and hide behind those people."

"I can't see the fence at this distance, but I trust your judgment." Toby lay on the ground and said to Dagon, who was also lying down: "Let's keep quiet, just climb over, you follow me."

Dagon lays the head-hunting axe flat by his side, his belly is on the ground, his hands and feet are moved by his side, his eyes are on Toby's butt in front of him, and he starts to move in the predetermined direction. He tried not to make a sound, and even his breathing became very quiet. Compared to small halflings, Dagon was even less good at hiding, and he could only hope that the night would provide him with some help.

While the two of them were crawling in the muddy field, the cavalry had already met the caravan. They stopped Gerros, asked their identities, and spread out to the wings at the same time. Dagon took a surreptitious glance, saw someone glancing across the field, and tugged at Toby's ankle lightly.

The halflings are smart, and both are still. Dagon and Toby were lucky enough to hide from the dark night and the clutter of the fields with torrential rain. With darkvision, Dagon patted Toby's ankle as soon as he saw Knight turn his head, and the two continued to squirm.

Climb up to the ridge, press it over and turn it over, the back is slightly deeper and easier to hide, and Dagon and Toby have increased their speed. At this time, a quarrel broke out between the convoy and Knight, and the voice from the wind mentioned "the jurisdiction of the White Horse Town lord, robbers, killing people and stealing goods" and so on. Gerros is proving that they're serious businessmen in the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce, and not scoundrels. The two sides are deadlocked, but soon a Knight notices the burning corpse over the collapsed house.

It was the corpses of several robbers. They were not qualified to be buried with them, and some kerosene and dry firewood could send them away. Dagon vaguely saw a Knight kicking over the fire on his horse, then shouted to the other cavalry in heavily accented, simplified language. Geros stood in front of everyone, stretched out his hands and pressed down, explaining that what happened here had nothing to do with them, and everyone should not be impulsive.

But the Knights took up their crossbows, already wound, and half surrounded the caravan. The crossbow, in the human kingdom, can only be equipped by the lord's guards, Knights and authorized temple guards. It is illegal for others to possess this weapon. Able to take out the crossbow, this cavalry is either the lord's troops, or the desperadoes who have put their life and death on the line, no matter which one is very difficult to handle.

"Climb fast," Dagon made an exception and said a few words: "Ready to fight at any time."

Once the crossbow is aimed at, the ordinary person does not dare to move, even wearing Armor warriors have to weigh the pros and cons again. If you are pointed at by multiple crossbows, and the enemy is still riding on a horse and has mobility, the disadvantage is even more obvious. Dagon was deeply frowned, finding the situation in front of him unmanageable. If everyone in the caravan was a Dagon, the battle would still be fought. But Toby said that everyone is basically businessmen and civilians without battle strength, so as long as there is a war, there will be a lot of casualties.

Finally climbed to the fence, the two of them squeezed through the gap that was swept away by the rain, then lay on the other side of the fence, pulled out their weapons and exposed their eyes to observe. Geros was at the front speaking for the crowd, and a Knight jumped off his horse and walked up to Geros. Dagon thought that if Gerros could take a hostage in an instant, he might be able to refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases. At this point, if they shoot from behind and attract firepower, they may still be victorious.

At this moment, the wind suddenly stopped, a feeling of dryness and heat surged up inexplicably, and the surrounding elements began to fluctuate. Suddenly, a group of colored light swayed from a Knight's hand. Although it was not bright, the ever-changing colors instantly attracted everyone's attention, making people want to see it, and want to see it.

It was followed by several consecutive exclamations. The caravan was just about to move forward when the Knights shouted loudly and forced them back with crossbows. I saw Geros clutching his chest, a dagger pierced into his left chest gleaming in the moonlight. He fell to his knees, leaned to one side, and fell to the ground.

Dagon was about to go out with his head-hunting axe, but Toby held him tightly. "As soon as you show up, they'll shoot and everyone in the convoy will die. Even if they're going to kill, you have to think about Lati. No, no!"

Dagon took the 1st Step, but The Second Step never goes out. He was pulled back to his place by Toby and watched as the Knight on the ground moved Gerros' body to the side of the road. Afterwards, the cavalry escorted the caravan's wagon with a crossbow and left the farmhouse creaking.

Those Knights from start to finish didn't find Dagon and Toby hiding, and Dagon and Toby from start to finish didn't work either. The two looked at each other in blank dismay, and when those people were completely gone, they stood up angrily and came out of the dark hiding place.

"Those guys...what would those robbers do? Caravan..." Dagon felt his throat tighten and he couldn't speak.

"I don't know, I don't know at all. The caravan won't betray us, we can go to White Horse Town to find out." Toby lowered his head and sighed, "Dagon, you Go and call Lati up, I'll... I'll deal with the boss's body."

"That's the only way." Dagon sighed step by step, walked to the well, and found that Lati was dead. Lie down a little under the edge of the well, and now his little head is exposed. With just a reach, the little girl climbed out, and it took only half a minute for the two of them to shake the bucket up and take out the iron box inside.

Suddenly, Toby burst into a voice that didn't sound like a human voice: "Da...Da...Come on, Gerlos is still alive!"

Dagon ran wildly, Lati Holding the big iron box in both hands, he chased after him hard. They ran to Toby's side, and Geros was still angry, trying to look at the three of them with one eye open.

The dagger was inserted into his left chest. From the hilt, it was a long dagger that definitely pierced through the heart. Judging from the injury, Gerlos should have died...but why?
"I'm your code..." Geros' face turned pale, and his words were weak. "My heart is on the right side. My lungs hurt, save me. Don't draw the knife..."

"Then you try to live!" Dagon suddenly felt that things were not hopeless.
