Overgod Ascension

"rescue?"

Henry exclaimed and stared at Wu Ming with incredible eyes: "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!"

Wu Ming said calmly: "Since I have chosen this, I am certainly certain, but let's look at you! What do you look like, all of you looking downcast?"

Within the camp, there were several soldiers who had escaped. At this time, they had lost most of their equipment and looked very embarrassed and decadent.

However, the blond Arthur and several soldier captains were nowhere to be seen. It was unclear whether they were dead or simply fled all the way back to Niah Town.

Thinking of Arthur, Wu Ming's eyes suddenly darkened.

He vaguely felt that this person was targeting him. If the other party did not die this time and he failed and returned to Niah Town, the end would not be good.

Moreover, he came out this time to improve his status and get close to the top. Didn't the opportunity come now?

Although if he had worked harder last night, it would have been possible to break through with the Thakur Knights, but such a favor would be small.

How could it be more impressive than when he was about to be eaten by an ogre and was saved from despair and despair?

Since you have to choose, you should naturally choose the path that maximizes your interests.

It was true then and it is true now.

Wu Ming cursed and boosted the morale of the group, then stepped forward to bandage the wounds of each injured soldier and save their lives.

With his expertise in herbal medicine and trauma treatment, he was able to quickly stabilize the injuries of several seriously injured people and gained the respect of the entire team.

After all, this is a favor obtained by saving lives and helping the wounded with one's own hands.

After counting, there are now thirteen people in this camp, which is full of ominous numbers. Three are seriously injured, and the rest have minor injuries, but it does not affect the activities very much.

After a simple meal, Wu Ming once again announced his intention to rescue Knight Thakur, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is willing to join me?"

Seeing the confused faces around him, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Why did we come out? Do you want to go back in such a dejected manner?"

"Think about who Lord Thakur is? If you rescue him, what kind of reward will he give?"

Wu Ming is not suitable to be a speaker, but what he says is based on the interests of everyone, so he is also very impressive.

But there is still a big problem standing in front of everyone.

"It's just... that's a group of ogres, at least hundreds of them!"

A low voice came, filled with fear.

The residents of the town grew up listening to the terrifying legends of ogres. Although they were not too afraid of losing their lives on the battlefield, they were afraid of being eaten alive by ogres!

According to legend, the souls of humans eaten by ogres will sink into purgatory forever, suffering from fire and ice.

There are also rumors that those ogres know evil magic and can imprison the souls of the dead, sealing them in the original bones and teeth, and turning them into their own power.

…

Wu Ming obviously also knew that this group of people were afraid of ogres, so he made a guarantee: "Don't worry, I will tell you all the plans before taking action. It will be up to you to choose whether it is feasible or not! Who is willing? ?”

"I!"

Andrew stood up. The man smiled and touched the scar on his face: "I have a debt that I need to settle with those brats!"

"And I!"

A silent man stepped forward: "You saved my brother's life, I want to repay your kindness!"

After seeing two people make their choice, Henry hesitated for a moment, but still came over: "I believe you, boss!"

"Can you guarantee that you will reveal all your plans and that we have the right to withdraw temporarily?"

Another mercenary stood up, and it turned out to be Heim, who had the qualifications of a bard.

"I promise!"

Wu Ming replied in a deep voice.

"In that case..."

Haim smiled brightly, showing some yellowed teeth: "I'll join!"

As for the others, they had no intention of moving anymore. Wu Ming made a prompt decision and asked them to start the return journey with the seriously injured.

…

"May I have your name?"

Wu Ming and the other five rested for a while and began to embark on the road. He looked at the big man who was the second to join. He was wearing leather armor. He was not a mercenary, but a figure among soldiers.

"Gail!"

The big man smiled, looking a little honest: "They all call me Big!"

"Aren't you going to escort your brother back?"

Wu Ming asked his doubts: "This road is not stable..."

"We have three brothers. He promises to send his brother back to Niah Town safely!" Gale said: "Gale owes you a life, and he will repay it!"

"very good!"

The road was easier to walk during the day, and it didn't take long for them to see the small village from yesterday.

The village is clearer under the sun, and there are still curls of green smoke rising.

"Those ogres haven't left yet!"

Several people were lying on the hill, looking at the nearly a hundred savages in the village with fear.

"what are they doing?"

Wu Ming asked with some confusion as he watched the savage light the fire and start some kind of ritual.

"They are offering sacrifices and praying!"

It was Andrew who said this. He looked at this scene as if he was caught in some kind of emotion: "Ogres worship the God of Fire and firmly believe that they will gain the power of the people they eat, so they will use their best The prey is made into ornaments and hung around the neck..."

Wu Ming suddenly thought of the savages he saw yesterday. On their necks, there were strings of beads made of teeth and bones, full of savagery and blood.

"As long as Knight Thakur is not killed on the spot, he should be alive!"

Andrew affirmed with rich experience: "In the eyes of ogres, soldiers wearing leather armor are the best food, and knights wearing thick iron armor are the best sacrifices and will not be consumed easily..."

"This is not something to be thankful for!"

Henry glanced sympathetically at Andrew next to him.

Obviously, he was wondering whether this companion had also had a dark experience of being captured by an ogre.

"Alright...boss!"

Heim was beside him, but he smiled softly: "We are already here, should we tell us your plan?"

When he spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of several people.

"My plan is simple, just wait!"

There was a smile on Wu Ming's lips.

"wait?"

Several people looked a little confused.

"According to Andrew, Thakur is their most precious trophy. It will not be consumed immediately and will be taken back to the tribe, right?"

Wu Ming looked at Andrew.

"good!"

Andrew nodded: "Before other prisoners are eaten, Thakur will receive preferential treatment..."

"This group of ogres got so many prisoners in this battle, and they will definitely be escorted back to the tribe. All we have to choose is a path to create chaos. It is best to set off a wave among the prisoners and take the opportunity to snatch out the Lord Knight!"

Wu Ming spread his hands and said.

"So... who's responsible for causing the chaos?"

Heim said uneasily.

"I suggest that I go, of course, and all you have to do is support me by the side... Also, bring the knight's original horse with you, we need it!"

Knight Thakur originally brought three horses out, but for the sneak attack, he put them all in the camp. Although others needed to transport the wounded, Wu Ming still took one and used it now.

Even if Knight Thakur is rescued, it is conceivable that there will be one more seriously injured person among them, and they will have to carry him back to Niah Town. If there is no livestock, it will be a nightmare for anyone.

“Who looks after the horses?”

Henry asked suddenly.

"Gail, can I trust you?"

Wu Ming looked into the thick brown eyes.

"I owe you my life!"

Gale stared at Wu Ming and said directly.

…

Squeak! Squeak!

The wooden planks scraped against the ground, and a huge noise lingered around, making Thakur narrow his eyes.

His head was dizzy, and he felt that his body no longer belonged to him. The blue sky seemed to be spinning, and there were many figures around him.

"Where is my armor? Where is the sword..."

He wanted to open his mouth, but found that the action became extremely difficult. The only thing visible was his own armor. They had been scattered and worn on several barbarians, regardless of whether they fit or not. They even wore them backwards or wrongly. It looks like a clown performing a comedy show, which makes people want to laugh.

But Thakur couldn't laugh.

He recalled last night's attack, the fire, the cold arrow at a tricky angle, and the last ogre.

Yes, he was captured! Captured by a group of ogres!

"Gods..."

He lamented silently in his heart, knowing his next fate.

The ogres are not nobles, nor are they bandits, and they have no interest in the ransom. The only person they care about is him!

The fate of being eaten alive made Thakur shudder.

"My soul...my family...no...knights should die gloriously on the battlefield, how can they accept such a shameful death?"

He struggled and prayed to every god he could think of.

No matter the names of the old gods, the new gods, the gods of mountains and rivers, the gods of forests, or even the ogres' god of flames, there was no response.

At this time, even if a devil extends a helping hand from hell, he will most likely accept it without hesitation.

However, no matter how much he prayed, there was still no response at all.

The god who once admired him, blessed him in the church, and made a vow, did not respond at all at this time.

Terrible despair suddenly enveloped the poor Thakur knight.

"Jiejie..."

At this time, the surrounding ogres seemed to realize that he had woken up, surrounded him, and fed him a bright red flower.

He couldn't resist at all, he only felt a sour and numb taste emanating from his taste buds.

"Damn ogre, it's the devil flower!"

A thought came to mind, making Thakur even more desperate.

But at this moment, there was a commotion ahead!
