Chapter 1,377 Liberation

After Scarface said these words, his subordinates raised their weapons one after another, silently threatening Roger and Barrister.

Luo Xie looked at Scarface and the others quietly, while raising the corner of his mouth and revealing a sneer:

"I said - you are from the Northern Border Army, right?"

"..." Hearing Luo Xie's question, Scarface frowned slightly, "So what."

"Then everything will be explained easily."

The smile and mockery on Luo Xie's face became even more intense.

"You guys are really the scum of the military."

"I can use my butt to guess what you have been going through these days."

"You were once a member of the Northern Border Guards, but you were severely defeated by the Britannia Army in the great battle."

"You who don't have the courage to be soldiers anymore, so you decided to run to the wilderness and plan to become bandits with the weapons you brought from the army and the fighting skills you learned in the army - I'm right. Bar?"

"Shut up!"

Scarface's face suddenly turned red.

As for the rest of his subordinates, their faces were all uglier than the last.

Their reaction had actually silently declared whether what Luo Xie had just said was true or false.

The defeated troops on the battlefield degenerated into bandits - this is a very common situation.

This is the same in every country.

Many bandits are "ex-soldiers."

When Roger broke out from Orleans, he had guessed that there would be many broken troops escaping from the north in the surrounding areas.

And it would be better if these defeated soldiers just wanted to escape back home like Barrister.

If they take weapons and the fighting skills they learned in the army and fall into bandits...

The consequences can be said to be unimaginable, and the security in the surrounding areas will be in chaos.

When setting off on the journey, Luo Xie secretly prayed that he would not encounter bandits on the road, especially bandits who were former soldiers.

If he was stopped by ordinary bandits, Luo Xie might be able to escape with his own fighting skills.

But if you are stopped by bandits who have received professional fighting training...

Luo Xie no longer has the confidence to escape...

…

…

"You bastard!"

After being stabbed by Luo Xie, saying "I am a deserter", Scarface gritted his teeth and drew out the long sword from his waist.

"I've decided! I don't want you two to join the gang! We and you two will die!"

"I'm sorry. I still have an important mission to complete, and I don't intend for us all to die here."

After saying that, Luo Xie suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and then pounced on the bandit on horseback closest to him.

The reason why Luo Xie said so many words to ridicule these bandits just now was not just for the sake of speaking quickly.

Mainly to buy him time to find an escape route.

When he was taunting the bandits and others just now, Luo Xie had been observing the surrounding environment, observing the bandits' positions, and silently planning an escape route.

Although time was tight, Luo Xie finally worked out a reliable escape route.

If you want to escape, you have to rely on horses - this is the lesson Luo Xie learned after being surrounded by the armed merchant group last time.

Luo Xie had already kept this lesson in mind, and had silently made up his mind to never make the same mistake of "escaping with two feet" that he made when he escaped from the armed merchant group last time.

Because Luo Xie's attack came so fast, Luo Xie's target - the horseback bandit closest to Luo Xie - was unexpected.

While the bandit was still panicking, Luo Xie had already managed to get close, jumped up, and stabbed the bandit in the chest with his sword.

The reason why Luo Xie picked this bandit to attack first was not just because he wanted to steal his horse, nor just because he was the closest.

Also because the bandit was not wearing a breastplate.

The long sword penetrated his chest without any resistance.

Luo Xie did not see whether the man was dead or alive.

After piercing the man's chest, he pushed the man off his horse and took the sword back.

"Barrister! Mount!"

"Ah, ah, good!"

Barrister, whose reaction speed was somewhat slow, climbed onto the horse that Luo Xie had just grabbed in a daze.

However, just after Barrister climbed on the horse, Roger jumped off the horse.

While jumping off the horse, he stuffed something into Barrister's arms.

And whispered something to Barrister.

After hearing what Luo Xie whispered to him, Barrister's pupils shrank slightly.

"Wait, wait! What are you doing..."

Barrister, who originally thought he was going to escape on this horse with Roger, had a bad feeling.

Just when he was about to question Luo Xie loudly, Luo Xie, who jumped off the horse, already waved his hand and slapped the horse on the butt.

The pained horse let out a long cry of pain, and then rushed forward like a madman.

After experiencing this change, Barrister could only stop questioning Roger and subconsciously leaned over and hugged the horse's neck.

Let the war horse lead it on a rampage and escape from here.

Luo Xie moved quickly.

It only took less than 10 seconds to grab the horse from close range and let Barrister ride the horse away.

"You bastard!"

In addition to Scarface and the guy who had been killed by Luo Xie, another bandit on horseback shouted loudly at this time.

When he was about to ride his horse to catch up with Barrister, Luo Xie had already arrived under the belly of the horse under his crotch at some unknown time.

A beautiful upward move opened a large gash in the belly of the war horse.

Luo Xie did not look at the bandit who fell off his horse due to the death of his war horse. Instead, he moved his gaze at an extremely fast speed and fixed his gaze on the last war horse owned by this gang of bandits - the horse under Scarface's crotch.

According to Luo Xie's original plan, he wanted to kill the horse under Scarface's crotch, so that the bandits would completely lose the ability to pursue Barrister.

But there were too many bandits gathered around Scarface. With Luo Xie's skills, he couldn't break through at all, so he could only give up his plan.

Luo Xie gave up on killing the horse under Scarface's crotch, and changed his plan to look directly at the bandits who were also staring at him with vigilant eyes.

"...As expected of a man wearing high-grade armor."

Scarface said solemnly.

"It's just that he's very skilled, but he's also very thoughtful."

"Even the consciousness... is so high."

"You know that if two people ride on the same horse, they can't escape no matter what."

"You therefore intended from the first to let your companion escape alone."

"Let your companion ride away from here and stay here alone to break up the rear."

"First kill all my horses so that we will completely lose the ability to pursue your companion."

"Finally, fight us slowly..."

"Although you are my enemy and a guy who is about to die, I admire your willingness to give up your own life and protect your companions."

"I originally planned to slowly torture you to death, but now for the sake of your great spirit, I will give you a good time when I kill you."

"That's it..." Luo Xie smiled and said in a rather perfunctory tone, "Then I would like to thank you for your 'kindness' in advance."
