Chapter 38: The Enemy Comes Behind
Perhaps, improving the strong bow was Anson's own wish.
He probably knew that he really had no talent for swordsmanship. Seeing Leon controlling the battlefield with just a bow, he probably had the idea of becoming a sharpshooter - just like the Horn Summoning Rangers, becoming a bow knight...
My doctor...if you really want to be a knight, it would be better for you to have a strong bone than a strong bow...
Li Ang sighed. He had originally planned to quickly upgrade Anson to level 10 for healing, but he didn't expect it to be out of control...
Li Ang has always attached great importance to medical care. After all, it can directly save his life, but his own medical levels cannot be upgraded and have always been only level 1.
It probably comes from the medical knowledge of modern people themselves.
So Leon wanted to train Anson to be a miracle doctor, so that the wounded in the team could recover with full health and be energetic after a good sleep...
But the reality is not as simple as the game.
Looks like I still have to guide myself...
"Hey, Anson...you should start doing your homework for today."
"Oh no...sir...you can't do this!"
"Then why don't you use those prisoners to practice your medical skills, practice swordplay or treat injuries, you choose one, both will be your homework for today."
"I... I'll go check on the prisoners... I hope Miss Sarah didn't beat them to death..."
…
At night, it rained heavily. The night in the wind and rain was as dark as ink. There were no stars in the sky and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
The mercenary who was good at swimming went down to the river based on his memory and fished for a long time before pulling out a noble knight's sword.
This is indeed Leon's original sword, the one that was stolen by Riva.
But how did it end up in the hands of this Jatu warlord?
It has only been two days since it was stolen the night before yesterday and now it has been recovered.
Did that Riva unfortunately run into the Jatu army while running away?
Or did this Jatu troop happen to be in the jurisdiction of Lion Lake City yesterday?
Etc., etc.
Li Ang suddenly thought of what Liva said: "My family was once famous in the arms trade"...
Is there a possibility that this Riva sold the sword to the Jatu people?
if it is like this……
An idea popped up in Li Ang's mind that he himself found unbelievable - is everything this Riva said true?
If she really could trade with the Jatu people, and her last name was really Fletcher...
So is there a possibility that the current Riva is indeed the daughter of a count as she said - but she is indeed not a noble, but an unrecognized one...
After all, she really looks like Count Oden...
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still wanted to thank the crossbowman for helping him retrieve this "heirloom".
So Li Ang gave the swimming expert the right to freely choose his trophies.
He chose a warhorse that he had previously captured from the Red Brotherhood.
This turned the mercenary crossbowman into a less-than-qualified mercenary rider - but nothing changed in the team roster.
This swimming expert claimed that he was a good rider, but he could only ride the horse without falling off. Generally speaking, his riding skills were only slightly weaker than Forcher's...
The next morning, the sky was gloomy and there was still light rain in the air.
The signal smoke in the direction of Yongdun Fort can no longer be seen.
On the wet grass on the other side of the river, there were only mud puddles trampled by horse hooves.
The Jatu were gone.
There was no trace of the Jatu cavalry on the other side of the river.
Only a few naked bodies were left, neatly laid out on the grass by the river.
The Jatu left cleanly, taking all the belongings from the bodies, the ownerless horses, and abandoning their yesterday's logging harvest - a small pile of logs that had been cleared of branches.
On the wooden wall of the camp, the Jatu warlord, who had just woken up from his coma, muttered a few unintelligible words, and then ignored Leon and Anson who was about to feed him.
Li Ang took off his helmet and tried to talk to him, but the warlord said nothing and even refused to open his eyes.
The lord was confused - the Jatu people already had the materials to make a raft, so why would they suddenly abandon their leader and evacuate? They were fully capable of making a raft to cross the river.
Li Ang had already prepared to take hostages to buy time.
However, just when Leon thought the camp should be safe for the time being, Summer on the lookout shouted .
"Sir! There's a woman running over here... She looks a bit like Miss Leslie!"
"She's alone?"
"Yes, sir!!"
Is Leslie here to give away the proceeds from selling the spoils?
This shouldn't be the case. We can just let Kahn and his men bring back the cash after it's converted into cash...
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, then he quickly ran out of the camp to meet the female businessman. His intuition told him that something had happened!
Leslie was not riding a horse, but was running in the rain in her blue dress, holding a dagger in her hand - and she completely ignored the mud and water that splashed on her body.
"This way, Leslie!"
Leon shouted loudly - Leslie had not been to this camp, she looked like she was about to run to Fletcher Village.
Hearing Leon's voice, Leslie ran towards the camp gate with her hands and feet, shouting loudly as she ran:
"Lord Leon! We have encountered the Jatu people... at least two hundred of them! My brother and Kahn are trying their best to stop them in the mountains behind us. Hurry... Lord, please save them... They are not far to the south..."
Leslie was soaked by the rain, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was full of fear, and her face was covered with water and mud. As soon as she ran to Leon, she had almost explained everything clearly.
I haven't even caught my breath yet.
Such a strong woman, she didn't even cry.
But her clenched fists and the bloodshot eyes still made people feel the fear and helplessness in her heart.
Klose apparently also heard Leslie's shout and ran out of the camp with a big sword on his back - he had not taken off any of his equipment since the battle started yesterday.
"My Lord, I beg to go forth—I must rescue my people."
Li Ang did not show any hesitation at this time - he could not show fear or hesitation at this time. He nodded and turned around to run towards the camp, shouting as he ran:
"Gather your stormtroopers!"
Klose was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Leon to agree.
That ’s two hundred Jatu people!
After taking a deep look at Leon, Klose turned around and shouted, "Assemble the stormtroopers!"
Summer on the observation deck was about to climb down to gather, but he seemed to notice something and looked back to the south.
Everyone in the camp has already taken action, and has started to dress and line up in a hurry.
But Leon, who ran to get the bow, sighed - two hundred Jatu people appeared behind him!
This means that there are more than just the 100-man team that Sarah and I encountered entering the heart of Changhe Town...
Just as I was thinking about it, the team list changed: Mettenheim Infantry, 10/10.
Oops!
It's too late to rescue the caravan now...
Two Mettenheimers dead!
Since Leslie could run over here, it was obvious that the place where the caravan was attacked was very close to here - the Cato troops were most likely heading for this camp!
This is because the place they occupied was the only way for the Jatu people who had entered the country to return to the grassland!
They would attack Leslie's caravan in the south, probably just because they came across it...
The Jatu people are cavalry, they are probably nearby!
Now, I'm afraid I have to face the enemy head-on.
I had anticipated most of the situations, but I didn't expect that the prestigious Horn Summoning Rangers would not be able to eliminate the Jatu people who had entered Changhe Town several days ago!
After so many days, Ralph, this useless guy, actually let the Jatu people escape?
No wonder Sarah said Ralph was a little hesitant at the time...
