Fear comes from insufficient firepower, fear comes from the unknown.
For the bandits, the situation at the scene satisfied both points. Even the volleys could not hurt each other. The white bear rushed forward and died suddenly.
When I heard Night Walker saying that he wanted to "help" them put down their weapons, he didn't hesitate at all. He just counted to three and threw everything he had left on the ground.
There were still a few who were about to run, but Wang Qi took a few steps closer and tapped each person's head with his fingers. They all lay on the ground obediently and didn't move, until they all fainted.
"Squat down and put your head in your hands."
The remaining ones who were still awake obeyed the instructions obediently. They all looked frightened and felt that their world view was beginning to collapse.
I originally wanted to recruit reform-through-labor prisoners before departure, but now that these people are here, let's do it together.
Wang Qi then called to his people upstairs: "Walia, two of you, come down with a rope. Li Xiang, you come too, bring two reptile legs."
"Right away!" Varya's voice was louder than usual when he saw the bandits suffering.
When the people came down, Wang Qi wandered to the strong man again.
This guy was really good, and he actually woke up after a while. When Wang Qi got close enough, he waved his hands that could still move and wanted to chop off his feet.
Wang Qi still abided by humanism, moved forward to avoid the arc of the axe, and kicked his arm in half, but did not kill him.
The strong man finally restrained himself from howling, his eyes still looked like he wanted to kill someone.
He may have thought that Wang Qi had cheated him, but Wang Qi ignored him and kicked his neck to pieces in order not to look twice. He picked up the strong man's two axes and weighed them.
It is hand-forged. The axe's surface is thin and not suitable for chopping trees. The ax handle is made of wood and cannot withstand much force, but it can still be used by Varya.
Walia quickly brought Shana down. The rope was obviously used to tie people up. Shana actually asked, "Do you want to kill them?"
"Tie them all up and let's go to the bandit's stronghold.
"
Go to the bandits' den... The two hesitated a little, but they only exchanged glances without persuading them. They went up to tie up the bandits and string them together.
Li Xiang came over with the meat: "What's the use of bringing meat?"
"We will hire foreign aid to help later." Wang Qi did not elaborate.
After Varya finished their work, they called them over and gave them the strong man's axe: "You guys can use this, I'm not comfortable with it. Wake up those who are dizzy and go to their stronghold."
"There are at least forty people in their stronghold. It's a castle."
"Castle?" This is a bit troublesome, but there are hostages in hand. As long as you can trick the door open, it won't be a problem. If you can't, try to attack by force. "It's okay, let's go."
The two of them went to wake up the bandit. Wang Qi spoke to the strong man who was still on the ground: "Get up and let you go home. Are you happy?"
The strong man looked angry, but he didn't say any harsh words.
Both arms were useless, and there was no one to help me, so I had to rely on the strength of my waist, abdomen and legs to get up.
There is no need to tie up in this state.
However, Wang Qi decided to talk to prevent this "vicious" bandit from trying to kill him.
"If you kick someone, I'll break your legs. If you bite someone, I'll break your jaw. If you hit someone, I'll break your spine. I just need your head to go home. Your life is in my own hands." Wang Qi said, Suddenly he raised his voice very loudly, "Do you understand?"
The strong man was trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to really test whether his bones could bear it: "...Yes."
"I can not hear!"
"...Yes!" the strong man roared in a heavy bass.
Wang Qi patted his lower back: "Okay, you're very energetic, that's it."
After waiting for a while, the remaining few followers who were still unconscious just now were awakened by Shana and set off.
The bandits strung up by ropes walked forward, the strong man walked in the middle, and the four of them hung a few steps behind.
Wang Qi took the meat from Li Xiang's hand and gave it to Walia, and spoke in his ear: "When we take down the bandits' den, help hire people to ask them to call the deserters over."
"???Why do you call me a deserter?"
"I want to borrow the heads of a few bandits. Of course, I'll leave it to everyone to choose."
How to borrow a head? Can you return it?
There were still a few small questions in his mind, so Varya didn't continue to talk nonsense and took the meat and tied it behind his waist.
As the group walked, they gradually felt that there were many curious eyes staring at them. They were probably afraid of the bandits' revenge, but no one dared to follow the group blatantly.
Wang Qi gave Li Xiang some precautions.
"When someone shoots you, you hide behind him." Wang Qi pointed at the strong man, then took out his hunting knife and scratched the back of his neck. "If he moves or runs away, you use the hunting knife to get out from here." It's easier to insert it sideways, and he won't move, do you understand?"
"Yeah, remember."
"I won't speak the local dialect from now on. You should translate well and don't translate randomly. Many people will die."
"Got it."
Bai Xiong didn't understand what the two said at all, and he didn't realize that his life had already fallen into the girl's hands.
The castle is located at the northernmost end of the settlement, eight kilometers from the base. Because the melted snow is the route that people often walk around, it was just dusk when they arrived.
The trees in front of the castle were cut down, leaving many large and small tree stumps. On both sides of the snow-melted road, there were some wooden hangers and Several skeletons have traces of wire repair and are well preserved.
The stone castle looks like a cultural relic. It has a city wall with arrow stacks specially designed to defend against enemies, as well as a suspension bridge gate. Looking through the city wall and the main body of the building, you can see that there is a training ground of more than an acre in size.
There are two large skeletons hanging on both sides of the city gate. The tailbone and the bone blades extending from the elbows of the forearms tell the name of the skeletons during their lifetime: Demon Hunter.
Looking at the castle from a distance, he glanced at Varya. Thinking about it, he was still worried about them: "You stay away, wait until I call you."
"We can help." Because the food supply was good during the winter, they also took some time to get used to their increased strength through indoor exercises.
Wang Qi shook his head: "I'm afraid you won't be able to see the arrow."
It's already dusk now. If you get too close to the castle and say a few words, the light will become very low, which is very detrimental to humans.
"...Okay, be careful." Varya tightened her grip on the bow and arrow, a little reluctant, but the king was right. Although her eyesight has improved a lot recently, she is still a little unsure of how to dodge bows and arrows at medium and short distances after dusk.
The two of them stayed more than a hundred meters away. This distance was already within the strike range of the crossbowmen on the city wall. However, there was no need to worry because there were snow stacks and tree stumps for cover. They could get closer in the hope that they could help in case of an accident.
A group of prisoners approached the castle and gradually started to think about it. However, they were strung together and their weapons were confiscated. They really couldn't escape. They could only pray secretly that the brothers could shoot accurately... Can they hit it?
"Stop! What's going on with you?" When we were still thirty meters away from the city gate, the people on the city wall noticed the ropes stringing people up and immediately shouted. The people next to them who were about to lower the suspension bridge also stopped and quickly picked up their weapons. Hide behind the arrow stack.
Wang Qi spoke from behind the team: "Give way."
Li wanted to repeat.
The prisoner being strung up obeyed and got out of the way, and he pushed the strong man forward.
"White...white bear."
The white bear didn't look right. His hands were drooped while he was reading, and the arm facing the sunset was still bloody.
"snort!"
This guy was really stubborn. He was sweating all the way from the pain, but he just didn't ask for mercy.
It was the first time that the white bear was being pressed back to the nest. It didn't know what to say. The snow lion had never taught him anything, so he could only grunt and deal with it.
Several people on the city wall were confused for a long time before they realized that this group was captured by two people. There seemed to be two more people lying further away, that is, four people.
The squad leader quickly called someone to report the news, and shouted himself: "Strangers, you'd better let him go, otherwise you'll be finished when our chief comes here."
"I'm waiting."
Li wanted to shout back, but her voice was childish, which caused a few laughs and made her blush.
"There's no need to be angry. When we go in and you're still not feeling well, just find them and slap them on the mouth. Just be careful not to kill them."
"oh."
