Chapter 1428: Escape
Bedford is happy now.
This afternoon, he received a report from the son of the village chief of Hena Village - a group of "travellers" are currently staying in their Hena Village temporarily, and one of the "travellers" in this group is the same as the one on the wanted order. The painted Baal looks exactly the same!
Bedford was just the captain of a big team.
A few days ago, Gang led his brigade to station around Hena Village, responsible for garrisoning and monitoring the surrounding areas.
While preventing the emergence of rebel forces in his defense zone, he is also responsible for tracking the traces of Barr and others.
Bedford dreams of catching Barr, or removing Barr's head.
Balco is the supreme commander of the Luolin Army.
If he could be captured alive, or his head removed - God knows what a rich reward he could lead.
It's a pity that Bedford only dares to think about capturing or killing Barr.
After all, the Rollin Empire is so big, Baal may escape to any place.
The possibility of passing through the defense area he was responsible for was extremely slim.
But Bedford didn't expect that his luck would be so good!
Although the person reported by the son of the village chief of Hena Village might just be a person who looked very similar to Barr, Bedford happily led 1,000 soldiers under his command to Hena Village. There is no need to set a dragnet and prepare to capture Barr.
Currently, Bedford's men have surrounded the wooden house where Barr and others live.
"How is it?" Bedford asked the adjutant next to him, "Has the encirclement been deployed?"
"The arrangements have been completed!" The adjutant nodded vigorously, "It is impossible for the people in the house to escape from our hands! There are thousands of us, but there are only 5 people in the house. If we go up If a thousand people can’t even catch 5 people, then we don’t need to be soldiers!”
"Okay!" Bedford suppressed his excitement, "Then - send the order below and prepare to attack..."
Before the last syllable of the word "assault" could be uttered, the door of the wooden house that had been heavily surrounded by them suddenly opened violently!
A strong man was the first to take the lead, waving the long sword in his hand to kill outside.
Behind this strong man, there were several people.
One of these people was an old man with gray hair and beard.
These people suddenly rushed out of the house, startling almost everyone including Bedford.
After a few looks of surprise briefly appeared on Bedford's face, these looks turned into looks of ecstasy.
These people all held swords in their hands, and ordinary people had no chance to touch or use swords.
Bedford was already certain that these people were Barr and his party!
"Hurry!" Bedford shouted excitedly, "Hurry and catch them!"
…
…
Bedford originally thought that with their absolute numerical superiority, they could trap Barr and his party tightly around the house, making them unable to escape even 5 steps away.
However, he underestimated the strength of Barr and his group - especially the strong man at the front.
The strong man's fighting skills were so superb that no one could stop them.
Led by the strong man, Baal and his party charged all the way towards the outside of Hena Village.
Although Barr and his party were about to rush out of Hena Village, Bedford was not upset.
Because as his adjutant said just now - they have already set up a tight siege net. With their absolute numerical advantage, it is absolutely impossible for them to let Barr and his party, who only have a few people, escape.
After Barr and his party escaped from the village of Hena, the cavalry lurking outside the village immediately started moving.
It is absolutely impossible to outrun a horse with 4 legs by relying only on 2 human legs.
Therefore, in order to escape the pursuit of the Britannia cavalry, Barr and his party hurriedly rushed into a dense forest next to the village of Hena.
Trying to rely on dense bushes to stop the cavalry's advance.
However - a large number of Bedford's men were also deployed in the dense forest.
Bedford had 1,000 men under his command.
Hena Village is just a small village. No matter how hard it is packed, it is impossible to squeeze 1,000 soldiers into Hena Village.
Therefore, there were only a few hundred soldiers deployed in Hena Village.
The remaining 900 soldiers were all deployed by Bedford in various corners outside the village...
…
…
"hateful……!"
While Ciel clutched his left shoulder, which was bleeding continuously, he cursed the Britannia army wildly.
Although he succeeded in using his bravery, he fought his way out and escaped into a dense forest outside the village of Hena.
But he also suffered his fair share of injuries.
There were no fewer than five wounds all over his body that were bleeding continuously.
And his physical strength was almost exhausted.
"This way, this way!"
"Here are some more soldiers!"
"We must not let those Luo Lin people escape!"
…
In the front, the sound that Ciel least wanted to hear now—Britannia sounded.
"Damn it!" Charles cursed secretly again, "Are there any Britannias here?!"
Ciel couldn't remember how many times they had changed routes.
However, no matter which direction they go, there are a lot of Britannia soldiers waiting for them ahead...
Among them, he is the only one who is good at fighting.
Bar, Gilles, Eugene, Jeanne and others may not be able to beat even an ordinary Britannia soldier.
As the only one in their group who is good at fighting, his physical strength is almost exhausted...
Now it may only take 7 or 8 Britannia soldiers to attack them together to wipe them out.
Since the physical strength is exhausted, it is impossible to forcefully break through the blockade of the Britannia Army.
It must be bypassed.
Bypass all the defense lines of the Britannia Army.
However, they don’t have much road left to go now…
As they led the people behind them to turn around again and continue to flee forward in the darkness, Eugene behind them suddenly said in a hurry:
“Sir Charles! Let’s take a break! Commander Barr seems to have no strength to walk anymore!”
As soon as Eugene finished speaking, Charles immediately turned back and looked at Gilles and others behind him who had been too busy to pay attention to them.
Gilles, Eugene, and Jeanne were fine as they were young.
But the old man Barr was already pale and panting.
Looking at Barr’s appearance, Charles couldn’t help but secretly exclaimed “Oh no”.
They fought their way out of the village of Hena, fighting and fleeing, which consumed a lot of their physical strength.
Barr was already quite old, and it was not easy for him to hold on until now.
