Chapter 29: Patrol camp

The sun was about to go down, and Xiao Chen walked slowly in this campsite leaning on the slope. The camp was very simple, but it went out for a long time. At least from the position of Xiao Chen, he could barely see the end of the camp. Carts and wooden piles divide the open space into many pieces, plus some fences and tarpaulins, so that people have a sheltered place.
But today's camp is much better than the previous few days. Xiao Chen didn't see at least the quarrels and brawls, nor the smell of feces. It seems that a few days of preaching and whipping have played a role.
The men emerged one after another from the surrounding forest, carrying some firewood and game. The women had begun to raise the fire, and the choking smoke began to rise from all over the camp.
Xiao Chen looked while walking, seemingly attracted by the scene of life, but did not pay attention to a puddle in front of him. When he saw him about to step in, a clear cry came out: "Be careful!"
Xiao Chen closed his feet in time. Looking back, the green-haired girl was hugging a black cat, and was four or five meters behind him.
"Caterina? Have you always followed me?"
"Master Xiao." Caterina seemed to be a little flustered, her hands tightened, and she picked up the cat's fur. The cat screamed sharply, and broke away from her arms, and ran to the ground, trotting a few steps , Came to Xiao Chen's feet, rubbed his trousers, the ball was on his instep.
"Don't call me lord, just say it, just call me Xiao Chen, but you don't listen." Xiao Chen hugged the cat in his arms, and the black cat turned his head and narrowed his eyes comfortably. Xiao Chen touched its apostasy: "It seems that the little guy still likes me a little bit."
There was nothing in Katerina's arms, and she forgot how to put her hands together. She twisted her hands together a little, and said softly, "Are you worried about anything?"
"Worry? How can I worry about this little thing sticking to me now?"
"That means it likes you, let's say Xiao Hei is cute."
Xiao Chen saw the girl's clear eyes looking at him exactly like the black cat's eyes, and his heart moved slowly, saying: "It's not easy to like this thing, everyone is confused about it, the cat doesn't understand it, maybe It just asked me to beg for fish. "
"I think it's easy to like, it's a very happy feeling. Like, just like I like to eat Montenegrin pies."
"Okay." Xiao Chen smiled and smiled, "Tell me, why did you follow me?"
The girl's head hung down slightly, and her eyes were like that cat's, always turning around Xiao Chen's feet, "Roger, Sister Karanda, they are all in charge of slaves, I see you are turning around, afraid What is the danger, help you stare at it. "
"I'm a magician, who dares?" Xiao Chen smiled.
"That's hard to say, these slaves are all money, you and other people's money can't pass through, those bad guys must hate you."
"Bad guy? You mean slave trader?"
Catalina pursed her lips and nodded vigorously: "There are no good people who do slave trade!"
Xiao Chen smiled when he heard this. After all, Catalina was still young and had a simple mind, but on the other hand, it was Karanda who protected her well.
"What are you laughing at? What's wrong with me? If it wasn't for Sister Kalanda rescued me out, you said what I would look like now." Katarina habitually lifted her hair thickly when she said this Her green hair was plucked behind her ear. Although it was a simple movement, she also had some charm.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but think, if she was still in the hands of those slave traders, I'm afraid it would become a valuable plaything?
"Well, you are right! These guys are the worst and the worst, but we are not afraid of them. As long as they dare to enter this camp, they will be torn to pieces by the people in the camp."
"But these people are just slaves. You can't expect slaves to protect before they know their masters for three days." Katarina argued, "However, I, I will protect you."
As if to prove herself, she pulled out her short sword by the waist.
"Thank you." Xiao Chen looked at the girl who came to his chest and said seriously, "However, they will not be slaves in the future, and I will not be their master. I said, they will be given the dignity they deserve. "
"Is that really the case?"
"Do you believe it?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" The girl was silent for a while, and then said: "Slave has always been the master's possession. One or two slaves are free for various reasons. But to give so many people freedom at once, I have never been I have heard of .... Besides, those slaves are wealth, even if you are willing, other people with you, will they be reluctant? I, I know you are great, but even if Sister Kalanda is in us Any decision made by the regiment will be opposed by her. "
Xiao Chen suddenly found that the girl was much more sensible than he thought. He took a deep breath, looked at the tents in the middle of the camp, and asked, "Do you believe I can do it?"
The girl shook her head slightly and lowered her head again, "No, I believe."
"Ha, it seems that many people in the team regard me as a bullshit."
"No! It's just that things are so good that it's hard to believe. It's like ... as if one day, a stranger suddenly jumped out and told me that I was actually a princess. I would definitely think he was a liar."
auzw.com "It turns out this way ..." Xiao Chen felt for the first time that the concept was so stubborn and could create such a big obstacle between him and the locals. If it weren't for Katrina's words, he hadn't realized that it was not only the slaves but also his men and partners who didn't believe him.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was a bit disappointed, Katerina hurriedly said, "I'll talk to them and let them believe you!"
"Don't worry, wait for them to settle down, we will convince them with reality. I found out a few days ago, pork is more useful than a horn. Let's go with me in the camp. See what these people are doing, What to think. "
At this time, on a large tree near the camp, two people in black cloaks were quietly observing everything in the camp.
"Mars, this is not a good job. There are too many people." The two of them whispered thinly. He held a foot-long crossbow in his hand, dark all over, like ink sticks, and melted into the shadow of the leaves with the clothes on his body.
"Luke, no one can escape from under our hands, you know." The shorter one responded lowly. "Every person is already dead in our hands."
"However, there is no magician in those people." Luke said.
Mars shook his head, "The magician can't stop your arrow or my sword. We haven't killed the magician, it's just because there are too few magicians."
"Okay, but we have to find him first, then avoid those guards, and finally give him a bit before he uses magic, and finally escape from the siege of thousands of people ... Maybe, we wait for them to hit the road tomorrow It ’s better to start again. After all, it ’s easier to attack the convoy from both sides than to find someone in the camp.
Luke said.
"There are several good players among them. We can't escape by starting during the day."
"However, the slave squads behind also want us to do it during the day. So that they can catch more people."
Mars sneered: "We only have to kill first and then evacuate, so I don't have the time to control the slave traders if they catch people."
"But the money is from them."
"We do as much as we can."
Luke thought for a while and said, "Yes, I said it's up to you to decide. You say, how do you do it?"
Mars observed it for a while, and then commanded: "Wait until it gets dark, we mix into the camp, I set fire to the car, you take the opportunity to kill several guards, as long as they mess up, the magician will certainly come forward to stabilize the situation In this way, we have a chance. "
Luke nodded, but there was still some hesitation on his face. He leaned into Mars' ear, as if afraid to hear, whispered: "I heard that the person who killed the magician will be cursed , And ... the curse will be passed down from generation to generation. "
"What curse?"
"Here." Mars pointed to his lower body, frowning: "It will rot."
"Don't say you seem to have a son. It's good if you idiot can live without starvation." Mars squinted him.
"What if?"
"If you are rotten, you don't have to worry about your son." Mars laughed himself.
Luke was so choked that he was speechless.
"Well, idiot, shoot your throat with your crossbow, even a magician can't curse people with a throat with a hole."
Luke's eyes lit up, and he touched the black crossbow in his hand and said, "Hey, that's right. I'm going to shoot this" Death Shadow "through his throat."
The sun was setting, and under the cover of the night, the two set down the trees and slowly approached the camp.
"Damn, how could there be so many people patrolling!" Luke whispered softly. "There are open whistle and secret whistle outside, and there are people patrolling back and forth. The person who arranged the defense of the camp must be an experienced knight."
"You look too much at the master knights, they don't have this ability. You haven't entered the barracks, whether it is the kingdom or the military barracks of the empire, they are all messy. How can you pay attention here? It is under the magician's hands. Great mercenary! "Mars said.
The two did not act rashly, but changed three or four places, squatted in the grass back and forth and observed for nearly half an hour, until Mars felt that he could understand the regularity of these posts before he started to act.
Mars nodded a tree not far away, "Dry out the dark whistle in the tree, walk along the dwarf tree on the side, and then drill under the big cars, we can go in. Old rules. "
He bowed and leaned back towards the tree. He was dexterously like a rat-cat, waiting for the tree trunk to enter the dead end of the whistle and gestured to Luke.
Luke had already aimed at the sentry with the dead shadow crossbow, but strangely, the winding crossbow was wrapped in a thick black gas. I saw that he pulled the trigger, a black shadow flashed over the crossbow, and passed silently through the sentry's neck. There was no blood flowing out from the middle arrow, but a black spot the size of a coin appeared, centered on the black spot, his skin began to turn gray. The gray quickly spread, and the eyes of the sentry lost their spirit in an instant, and the body fell like a stiff stone from the tree.
Mars leaned forward, took the body firmly in his hand, and put it in the grass.
"Yes, that's it, Luke, kill the magician like this."
