Chapter 710 Deserter

Chapter 710 Deserter

A trace of hesitation flashed in Grant's eyes.

He was really unwilling to go to war with Rudolf and several deserters unless he had to, but as a righteous soldier of the kingdom, he could not condone the other party's bad behavior in his heart.

At this time, Dominic next to him suddenly whispered, "Glen, don't be impulsive, think about Enzo and the others, we still have a mission to do!"

After hearing Dominic's words, Grant's face became even more ugly.

The reason why this team was able to retreat from the kingdom was mainly because they received the task of escorting the injured. Grant may not be afraid of death, but if he goes to war with Rudolf and others, it will inevitably mean that Enzo and others will be put in danger .

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

At this time, Rudolf also saw Grant's hesitation and sneered, "When Oka and the others come back later, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

"Oka!" Grant's expression changed.

This name was very familiar to him. He was also the captain of ten men in the Tucker Kingdom. However, he often violated discipline when he was in the army, harassed civilians on the border of the kingdom, and even raped civilian women. If it were not for his military exploits, he would have been killed long ago. was executed.

Unexpectedly, Rudolf actually colluded with Oka.

"let's go!"

In the end, for the sake of the wounded, Grant decided to take a step back and prepared to leave with Aylin and others.

"Wait a moment."

But at this time, Rudolf suddenly spoke and said in a cold voice: "You can leave, but this little girl must stay."

After hearing Rudolph's words, Grant and others' expressions changed.

"What do you want to do?"

With a cold expression on his face, Grant protected the little girl behind him and said, "I advise you not to go too far, Rudolf!"

"Hmph! So what if it's too much?"

Rudolf snorted coldly and said with a lewd smile, "A little girl under ten years old is exactly what I want. I let her run away just now, so there is no reason to let her go now."

"Nicole, run!"

In the tavern, the half-fruited woman said in a trembling voice that she was the mother of the little girl Nicole, and she had been ruined by Rudolph and others in order to buy time for her daughter.

Glenn's face was gloomy and uncertain.

Suddenly, he chuckled, shook his head and said, "Forget it, we are comrades after all, there is no need to break the friendship for a stranger."

With that said, he pulled Nicole out from behind.

Next to her, the girl's mother had a look of despair on her face, and at the same time she felt hatred toward the kingdom.

These heroes who were supposed to protect civilians have now become a group of demons.

"That's right."

A trace of pride appeared on Rudolf's face. When he saw Grant holding the crying little girl and walking towards him, the smile on his face became even crazier and said, "We are fighting the orcs on the front line, giving our lives to the kingdom, and enjoying the common people." What’s wrong with our hospitality? I don’t think you should continue to serve the kingdom and just join us.”

As he spoke, Rudolph reached out and grabbed the little girl Nicole.

However, at this moment.

A cold light suddenly flashed in Rudolf's eyes, and he suddenly became alert in his heart. He quickly retreated to avoid the blade swung by Grant. A hint of ferocity suddenly appeared on his face, and he grabbed the long knife next to him.

"Just because you want to kill me?"

Rudolf roared, and slashed directly at Grant with his long knife. After the collision with the opponent's weapon, a trace of pain appeared on Grant's face.

Compared with the burly Rudolph, Gulen is obviously no match.

"It's really life-and-death."

A ferocious expression appeared on Rudolf's face, and the force in his hands increased a bit. Just when he was about to kill Grant, a sudden pain came from his neck.

"Well……"

Rudolph's voice stopped suddenly, blood flowed from his neck, and an arrow had penetrated his throat.

Not far away, Aylin had an expressionless face.

As Grant's old comrade-in-arms, the moment Grant pushed the little girl Nicole towards Rudolph, he already understood the other party's intention, so he quietly bent his bow and gave Rudolph a fatal blow.

"Do it!" The next moment, Aylin shouted.

Next to him, two other veterans also picked up weapons and started killing several deserters. Grant also took advantage of the situation and chopped off Rudolf's head, completely eliminating the rogue soldier. His bloody head rolled to the ground.

Suddenly, the tavern became chaotic.

After about ten minutes, everything finally returned to calm. Five of the six deserters were killed. The remaining one saw that the situation was not good and immediately escaped from the tavern. Among the several veterans, only Aylin was slightly injured. .

"These damn bastards!"

Aylin leaned against the wall, with a wound on his shoulder torn open. He grinned in pain and cursed: "When fighting the orcs, he was as timid as a mouse, but when he bullied the civilians, he was very arrogant. When this year's war is over, he must take good care of himself." Fix this group of deserters."

Grant found a pot of strong liquor from the tavern, sprayed it on Aylin's wound to disinfect it, and then simply bandaged it with a strip of cloth. In the corner, he saw the insulted woman holding the little girl Nicole and shivering. A smile appeared on his face.

"Girl, don't be afraid."

The expression on Grant's face was as kind as possible, and he said, "We are all regular soldiers of the Kingdom. We are different from those bastards. Can you please find us a doctor? There are several wounded in our team who are dying."

"Yes...yes, sir."

The woman hesitated for a moment, as if sensing the goodwill of the veterans, she got up and walked out of the tavern, and soon brought back a short man.

"Sorry, adults."

A trace of apology appeared on the woman's face and she said, "We don't have a doctor in this village, but Taylor is good at treating cattle and sheep. I don't know if I can help you."

"Veterinarian? That's fine too."

Grant thought for a moment and nodded decisively. In the turbulent years, it was not easy to find a doctor. Having a veterinarian was better than nothing, mainly because the other party had no treatment drugs.

Afterwards, Grant asked the three veterans to stay while he walked out of the tavern.

He came outside the small village, called Hart and a group of injured people, explained the situation, and then returned to the tavern together.

"One, two, three...five?"

Enzo had regained some strength at this moment, got off the cart, and came to the tavern with a wooden stick as a crutch.

After discovering the five corpses on the ground, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

When scanning the chip before, it was found that there were at least fifteen weapons-carrying targets in the village, but now there are only five here.

This also means that small villages are not safe.

There are still ten enemies in the dark, who may appear at any time, but several veterans are very tired after just experiencing the fight.

"Uncle Grant, are these the only ones?" Enzo asked in a deep voice.

In the tavern, Grant was cooperating with the veterinarian Taylor to treat several injuries. When he saw Karen asking questions, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and he told everything that had happened before.

"Oka?"

Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and based on the memory of this body, he remembered that it was a ferocious soldier, with combat prowess comparable to that of a knight.

"Who knows if Rudolph is talking nonsense."

At this time, Aylin said, "That guy always likes to bluff. Maybe he wanted to scare us, so he moved out of Oka."

Grant nodded and agreed.

If Rudolf was indeed with Oka, then there was no reason for the other party not to show up when the battle just occurred. Moreover, Grant had just asked that the deserters who attacked the small village were only Rudolf.

In place, Enzo still frowned.

He fully recognized the function of the chip and believed that it was impossible to make mistakes, so there were definitely more enemies in the small village than this.

At this moment, the chip suddenly issued an early warning in his mind.

There was also a sound of footsteps outside the tavern. The expressions of Grant and Aylin changed. Before they had time to react, arrows were shot in from outside.

Whoosh!

The sudden arrows directly killed two wounded soldiers. Hart was caught off guard and was shot through the leg bone by the arrow. He was sweating in pain.

"Damn it!" Grant grabbed the sword.

Outside the tavern, several deserters kicked open the door, and a man with a scar on his face slowly walked in.

"Oka!"

Aylin's face changed and his expression became ugly. It turned out that Rudolf was not lying. There were indeed more than just a few of them.

"hateful!"

Grant also had a gloomy look on his face, his eyes fixed on the opposite side. It was the deserter who escaped from the tavern just now, who attracted Oka and others.

There were exactly ten deserters who surrounded the tavern.

Led by Oka, the deserters were aggressive and several veterans were trapped in the tavern. The situation was very bad.

"Did you kill Rudolf?"

Oka was holding an ax in his hand, looking around, and sneered: "Drag a group of wounded soldiers, it seems you have received orders from above?"

Grant said nothing, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

There were ten deserters on the opposite side, and only five of our own were able to fight. Among them, Aylin and Hart were both injured. Hart, whose leg was shot by an arrow, was almost useless, while Aylin was still barely able to fight.

The disparity in numbers gave the veterans no chance of victory.

What's more, there is an Oka on the deserter's side. The opponent's strength is second only to the knight. It is possible that one person can take care of all the veterans.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Oka!"

At this time, Grant suddenly raised his head and said in a cold voice, "We are retreating from the front line this time, but we have received orders from Lord Black. If you know what's going on, get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"Blake?"

A sneer appeared on Oka's face, and he said faintly: "Do you really think I'm a fool? Do you think that moving out of Black will scare me?"

The seventh army of Tucker Kingdom, commander Blake.

It was Blake, the top officer of Grenn and several other veterans, who had the combat power of a great knight.

For Grant and others, the biggest person they can come into contact with is the Great Knight Black. Using this big person's name to scare Oka seems to be their only option.

This is certainly not the case.

As veterans such as Grant, they were not qualified to accept orders from the Great Knight Black. Several of them were able to evacuate the battlefield only after being ordered by the Centurion and had nothing to do with Black.

"You do not believe?"

Grant's face was expressionless, but the hand holding the long knife was trembling slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "If you are not afraid of death, try to stop us, but you should know that Lord Black has always hated evil. If we find out that we have not returned on the specified date, The kingdom will definitely send people over to investigate.”

"When the time comes, think about whether your head can withstand Master Black's sword."

Hearing Grant's threat, Oka remained unmoved at all. Instead, he showed a joking smile on his face, obviously not believing what he said.

Next to him, Enzo sighed slightly in his heart.

Not to mention that Oka didn't believe it, even Enzo was speechless for such a loophole-filled lie. As an ordinary soldier, how could Grant have the chance to accept Black's order.

What's more, there was an order to evacuate the battlefield with the wounded.

If there was an important person among the wounded, this lie might still make sense, but in his panic, Grant obviously did not think carefully.

"So what if it's Black?"

Oka's face turned cold. He waved his hand and ordered the deserters to surround Grant and others. He said quietly: "Anyway, I have betrayed the kingdom. Even if I don't offend Black, I will still be wanted by the kingdom. Now I am just one more enemy." "

As he said this, several deserters laughed sinisterly.

The faces of several veterans such as Ge Lan suddenly showed solemn expressions. They formed a defensive formation back to back, ready for battle at any time.

However, after just experiencing a battle, their physical strength was almost exhausted.

Facing twice as many enemies as themselves, as well as Knight Oka, their chances of winning are obviously slim.

In the corner of the tavern, Enzo sighed in his heart.

It seemed that in today's situation, it was impossible for him not to take action, otherwise he would definitely not survive when the deserters killed Gulen and others.

"The power of origin..."

Enzo frowned slightly. This was one of the only trump cards he had when he came to the scarlet world. Who knew he would use it now? He was really unwilling to do so, but there seemed to be no better choice in the situation in front of him.

Enzo took a deep breath and prepared to use his original power.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly something moved in his mind. He turned on the scanning chip and felt a team approaching the small village. Enzo immediately gave up his previous decision.

At the same time, everyone in the tavern also heard the sound of horse hooves.

Oka's expression suddenly changed. Although he didn't know who the visitor was, the situation that was favorable to them clearly did not want to be destroyed.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way Oka wanted.

"Go out and have a look!"

Oka said coldly, then turned and left the tavern. As soon as he went out, he saw an army of about a hundred people walking towards the tavern.

"Bu...Master Black!?"

Seeing the leader of the team, Oka's face changed drastically. He never expected that he would meet Blake, the leader of the Kingdom's Seventh Army here, and that the other party also noticed the movement in the tavern.

"deserter?"

At the front of the team, Black's face was gloomy. He was in a very bad mood after having just lost a battle with the orc army. When he saw several deserters in the tavern, a trace of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes.

With almost no hesitation, Blake waved.

Several cavalrymen nearby immediately launched a charge and killed several deserters who had just walked out of the tavern in one confrontation.

"Run away!" Oka yelled and ran decisively towards the outside of the village.
