The four-wheeled carriage stopped outside the grove, and the horses pulling the carriage panted through their nostrils, enjoying this rare rest time.

"Head?" Paul, who was driving, was the first to discover the figures of Hood and Nott coming out of the woods. Julius in the car heard the sound and turned his head to look back. Only Danny was still lowering his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Let's go..." Hood got on the carriage and said softly.

Julius on the side looked at Nott, who climbed on the carriage with a lost face, in confusion. Although he was curious, he thought that there were outsiders in the carriage, so he held back and didn't ask.

With a crisp sound of "Pa~", the carriage began to move slowly under the hard pulling of the mules and horses.

"Nott, cheer up!" Hod saw the listless Nott, and he couldn't help but get angry, and immediately scolded:

"This operation is related to the safety of all of us. If the mission fails because of your personal reasons, you will not follow me in the future."

Nott was suddenly awakened by Hod's words. He raised his head, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He looked at Hod with a serious face, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, I was wrong..."

"Then adjust your mood!" Hod shouted loudly.

After speaking, Hod turned his head and looked at the direction of the carriage in silence.

Night fell, and everything was silent.

Hod and his companions found a small forest with only dozens of trees of different heights, and decided to take a rest here. This day's journey made everyone feel exhausted.

In this era, traveling is far less comfortable and convenient than in modern society. The carriage without shock absorbers and the rugged road made Hod feel as if his body was about to fall apart when he got off the carriage.

Julius and Paul went to collect some dead branches and broken wood nearby. When they came back, a warm bonfire was lit, driving away the darkness around.

Hod and his companions sat around the bonfire, each holding a piece of skewered dried meat in their hands, and slowly heated it on the fire.

After a simple dinner, Hod arranged for Nott and Paul to take the blanket from the carriage and spread it on the ground.

After instructing Julius to keep watch, Hod and Nott lay on the woolen blanket to rest.

In the middle of the night, the bonfire had gone out, leaving only a weak residual heat to dispel the night's cold.

Suddenly, Hod, who was sleeping, opened his eyes abruptly, looking sharply at the forest on the left, and his right hand quickly reached for the dagger at his waist.

He wanted to wake up Nott, Paul and Danny, but when he turned around, he found that the three had already woken up and their eyes were also fixed on the forest.

As if they had noticed Hood's gaze, they all nodded.

At this time, Nott carefully stretched out his left hand, pointed to the forest on the right, and his lips moved silently: "Someone..." Seeing this, Hood immediately nodded, indicating that he understood the situation.

At some point, Julius also quietly crawled to Hood's side and said in a low voice: "Boss, there are people in the forest, watching us."

"Can you tell how many people there are?" Hood asked softly.

"It's too dark, I can't see clearly." Julius shook his head.

Huh...

Hood took a deep breath and thought to himself. He didn't expect to be targeted at this juncture.

"Get ready for battle..."

Hood whispered to Nott and the other two, then slowly drew out his dagger and opened the panel in his mind. If something went wrong, he would immediately recruit 20 new robbers to help.

The three veteran robbers of Nott nodded, and each took out a sling from the small pocket on his waist and held it in his hand.

Danny also held his dagger expressionlessly, quietly waiting for the attack of the unknown enemy.

After an unknown period of time, a slight "rustling" sound came from the woods, and then several black shadows slowly appeared in Hood's sight like ghosts.

Looking at the gradually approaching black shadows, Hood's eyes became sharp. He held the dagger tightly in his hand, bent his fingers slightly, and moved the dagger to his chest, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

When these black shadows were only a dozen steps away from them, Hood made a throwing motion towards the three Notts. This simple and clear gesture conveyed his intention and let the three Notts understand what to do next.

The three Notts understood, then held the slings tightly and waved their hands suddenly, and threw the slings fiercely at the black shadows.

"Bang..."

With a dull sound, a figure fell directly, without any resistance.

The power of the stone was so great that the figure lost his life instantly. The next second, all kinds of shouts and curses resounded throughout the forest.

[Ding... The veteran robber Nott killed an ambusher]"Like is dead!" A terrified voice came, with unconcealable fear and anger.

"They found us..." another person shouted anxiously, his voice full of anxiety.

"Go over and kill them!" The last person roared.

The next second, several black shadows strode towards Hod and his five men with weapons in hand.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, Hod and his men no longer hesitated and rushed forward with their weapons.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, all kinds of abuses broke out, the sound of swords colliding, and the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh...

Hod stared at a middle-aged man in a short robe and holding a one-handed axe, and rushed towards him with the dagger in his hand.

The middle-aged man looked at the dagger and his pupils shrank. He instinctively dodged to the left. The dagger brushed his arm, making Hod's attack fall.

Before Hood could react, the middle-aged man punched him in the cheek with a ferocious face, knocking Hood to the ground, and then raised his one-handed axe to chop at Hood.

Hood quickly rolled over to dodge, and at the same time raised the dagger in his hand to slash at the man's right hand holding the axe.

"Puchi..."

This attack did not miss, the dagger cut a wound on the man's right arm, and blood gushed out instantly.

The sudden severe pain made the middle-aged man's palm loosen, and the one-handed axe fell to the ground. Seeing this, Hood did not get up, but raised the dagger and stabbed.

"Puchi..."

The dagger pierced deeply into the middle-aged man's abdomen, and the sharp tip of the sword came out directly from behind. The man groaned, covered his stomach with both hands, and fell to the ground with a painful face.

"Bastard, go to hell!"

[You killed the leader of the ambushers and gained 120 experience points]

At this time, the battle on the other side also entered a white-hot stage.

Nott was surrounded by two men holding pointed wooden spears, but he was not afraid at all, instead, there was a ferocious light in his eyes.

He held a short sword in one hand and a round shield in the other, and took the initiative to kill the two enemies.

The two men obviously did not expect Nott to be so fierce, and their faces showed obvious panic.

Nott cut off the wooden spear in the hand of a man with a sword, and then swung his left hand, and the round shield hit the man's face hard. With a shrill scream, the man lay straight on the ground.

After dealing with one enemy, Nott smiled grimly at another opponent, frightening the man so much that his face turned pale and he turned and ran away.
