Chapter 163 Old man, I've put up with you for too long!
Chapter 163 Old man, I've put up with you for too long!
Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
"Phew—indeed, I'm a little out of energy too."
Zi Yi looked at the scene below the slope and plopped down on the ground.
"All right."
Zi'an understood that this was the truth.
Li Mosi was not surprised.
Looking at the map of [Leshan Water], it appears they just sprinted about five kilometers with legs shorter than the soldiers, all to get there before the soldiers.
We were able to finish this ambush only because we were holding our breath!
They're all really exhausted now.
"Sigh~"
The saintess smiled and sighed.
"What a pity, if they could do it again, they probably wouldn't be able to escape."
You're actually laughing at this?
Li Moss said calmly, "Baron Talis also said he would tell the Holy See about your matter. You should think about what you should do first."
Hagi Saint's smile froze.
Yes.
Her own situation isn't settled yet!
However, the saintess seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Mosi.
"He wouldn't dare! My loyal warriors will come to protect me! If you treat me well now, I promise you'll get what you want when we return to the Holy See..."
"If only it were that simple."
As Li Mosi spoke, she walked down the slope without looking back.
"Hey! What do you mean! I...!"
Zi'an covered Hagi Saint's mouth.
Li Mosi casually walked over to a slave who looked to be less than ten years old and looked down at the other person's face.
The slave was panting heavily, his breathing sounding like his throat was full of phlegm.
His face was flushed red with a hint of purple, and large beads of sweat dripped from his head, gathering at the tip of his pen and dripping from his chin, while wisps of white smoke rose from his head.
Li Moss asked, "Do you still have the strength to stand?"
"Uh-huh."
The slave shook his head slightly.
"have a good rest."
Li Moss casually remarked, then looked at the other slaves and goblins.
They looked like college students who never exercised and had just finished a physical fitness test.
Goblins are alright, since they live by hunting and their nutrition is quite adequate.
These slaves were not so good.
He was still able to stand up, supporting himself with the spear, all thanks to his youth.
After a few minutes, the goblins regained some strength.
Greedy Meat slowly walked to Zi Yi's side and asked, "Chief, what do we do next?"
Should we continue pursuing it?
Zi Yi pointed to the pile of corpses down the slope.
"We're too exhausted to chase anymore. Let's search these human corpses and leave them here. Let's go back."
They came out without any tools and had no way to bury it.
Let's leave it for the wild animals.
"Yes."
Greedy Meat nodded in agreement.
Zi Yi turned and gave the same order to the other goblins.
They slowly began to move.
The slaves couldn't help but smile as they watched the goblins rummage through the soldiers' equipment.
Snapped!
"Another person has fainted!"
Zi'an noticed the situation down the slope and quickly spoke up to warn him.
"Pinch the philtrum!"
The old man approached the unconscious slave, leaning on his spear.
"No! He's just out of energy!"
Li Mosi quickly stopped them and looked at the nineteen slaves who had fallen into a coma.
"Have a few people carry them back later."
This indicates insufficient battery power, preventing forced wake-up.
It's not an emergency right now.
"Yes, Master."
Zi Yi then remembered to tell his late master about the next arrangements; the long journey had left him completely disoriented.
"Master, shall we head back now?"
Li Mosi nodded: "Let's go back. There's no way to chase them now. Strip all their equipment; we don't need to bury it. There are still a bunch of people and horses to deal with at the first ambush site. Besides, didn't we find a set of noble armor on our way here?"
These soldiers were all enemies of the more than four hundred slaves present; sparing their corpses was already an act of mercy.
He didn't bring any tools, so there was no need for him to waste his time.
The most interesting thing is that set of armor.
Judging from the coat of arms, it was discarded on the road by the first nobleman to flee.
The state of the light spot also corroborates this.
The goblins stripped the soldiers of their equipment, leaving them only in their undergarments, after a long time.
The slaves then turned their heads away and stopped looking.
I didn't feel anything when it was through several layers of clothing, but now it's too bloody.
The underwear was torn to shreds, and the wool fabric was not only stained red with blood, but also mixed with the flesh.
However, the crowd didn't react much.
Even Haki Saint, who tacitly acknowledged being "pampered," was no exception.
Perhaps it was because they had already identified the soldiers as enemies.
Seeing that the slaves had regained some strength, Li Moss led them slowly back.
"Let's go back to where we just fought. We can have fresh horse meat tonight."
"Gurgle~"
Hearing that there would be meat to eat, the slaves mustered up their strength again.
……
"Damn it, how come that old thing runs so fast?"
Baron Taliss continued his southward journey in silence, harboring deep resentment towards Baron Stern.
After being ambushed twice, only eighty-three soldiers remained behind them!
More than fifty of them belonged to that old man Stern!
He had only about twenty soldiers left.
Damn old man!
The group moved forward in silence.
Even though they changed direction and didn't take the same path they came from, the undulating terrain was still unavoidable.
Looking at the glowing dots on the [Leshanshui] map, Li Mosi felt only regret.
These guys have walked to a section of the road where they could ambush each other.
But he was powerless to do anything.
Even though he couldn't take action, the soldiers were still afraid of going uphill.
This time, everyone stopped in their tracks.
Hearing the change behind them, the two barons turned their heads slightly to look at each other.
They pretended nothing had happened and continued walking up the slope.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Baron Talis burst into laughter once again.
The laughter startled the soldiers, causing them to take a few steps back and slightly disperse their formation.
The soldier in the second row patted the soldier in front on the shoulder, and the soldier in front turned around and shook his head.
He dared not ask any more questions!
Who knows what will happen next!
Baron Stern could no longer hold back.
"Enough! You brat! All you know are the Church's methods. I want more, otherwise..."
g!
He took two steps closer to Baron Taliss, adopted a dignified posture, pointed at him, and began to speak.
But Baron Talis drew his iron sword with a backhand!
He looked at Stern!
The little brat has betrayed us!
He wanted to devour all the soldiers and the spoils!
Baron Stern sensed danger, shifted his footing, withdrew his left hand, and removed his right glove.
Before the soldiers could understand what was happening, they only saw a blue light emanating from Baron Stern's right hand!
But Baron Taliss saw it clearly.
Baron Stern wore a ring on the index finger of his right hand.
The ring appears to be made entirely of gold, yet it shines and sparkles even brighter than gold.
The ring features a square, transparent gemstone facet engraved with symbols he cannot understand.
The radiance emanates from this ring face!
Baron Talis narrowed his eyes.
This is the radiance of magic!
This is mithril and magic gems!
This is magical equipment!
"flash--"
Before Baron Stern could speak, Baron Taliss's iron sword slashed across.
Their movements were too difficult for the soldiers to see clearly.
But aren't they both barons already?!
Blood pumped from Baron Stern's right wrist, and he felt a tingling sensation.
Immediately afterwards, Baron Talis reached out and caught Baron Stern's severed hand.
"You spineless old codger! I've put up with you for far too long!"
Just as Baron Stern stared wide-eyed at his right wrist, Baron Talis had already completed the magic channeling while holding the severed hand!
boom!
A thunderous roar resounded, and lightning bolts shot out from the ring, engulfing Baron Stern!
Before he could do anything, he fell to the ground, and Baron Talis decapitated the charred corpse with a single sword stroke.
"You're getting old."
Even if they have the same life seed, their fighting ability will decline as they get older.
It wasn't until then that the soldiers realized what was happening!
