Extra Three: The Road to Thorns

"Are you ready?"

"No problem. All the cars have been repaired, and the broken staps have been replaced. The brothers are loading the goods, and it should be finished now."

"The grain has also been checked, which is enough for us to walk to the fortress."

"All the gunpowder has been distributed. Is there anything else to do, boss?"

The man with black hair and white beard smiled with satisfaction: "Brothers have been following me for so long. I know it in my heart. Let's go when you're ready."

The farm was dark, and seven or eight strong young men gathered in a pile, lowered their voices as much as possible, explained the work in their hands, and then rubbed out from the warehouse door, which only opened a seam.

The man was not in a hurry to leave. He turned over a gun in his hand, which seemed to be absent-minded for recreation, but his eyes stared at the haystrate in the corner of the farm.

The light is very dim, but for adventurers like them who often walk at night and chase the night scene, this degree of dimness is not a problem at all. His eyes were firmly fixed on the haystick, or a person sleeping on the haystick.

The short flax-colored hair is only shoulder-length, and the posture of lying on the side makes half of the face covered by the hair, but it can still be seen that it is a very young girl. She was covered with a broken blanket, and a thin sword and musket rolled together with a belt were exposed from the corner of the blanket. This weapon's sleeping style proves that she is also a woman who has been licking blood with a knife for a long time.

The man raised the gun, put it down, and repeated it several times. He was indecisive.

At this time, another person slipped in from the crack of the door. The man saw him pointing his gun in the direction of the haystitch and almost shouted out in horror: " boss, aren't you trying to kill her?"

"That's what I thought," the man pouted and threw the gun in his hands with regret. "It's safest to kill her."

The man was shocked and quickly pressed his hand: "No, boss, you will regret killing her!" Hurry up. Before she wakes up, we have to hurry up.

The man glanced at the brother in front of him and said, "I thought you were all eager for her to die."

His men complained incessantly: "Big boss, brothers usually talk without taboos. How can you take it seriously? What's more, a woman is so strong that the big guy is jealous and says a few words. No one really doesn't like her. Boss, you think too much.

The man sneered a few times and put away the gun. The man under his men breathed a sigh of relief and dragged him out of the farm. The team of 40 or 50 people outside was ready to go. Seeing him come out, he went out of the fence door of the farm in an orderly manner and walked all the way east along the path of the horse's hoofs.

The team walked non-stop all day before finding a small town where they could rest. The man sent the Zhang Luo brothers' meal to his trustworthy people, and he leaned against the stable and smoked alone.

Before a roll of cigarettes were finished, the back door of the hotel opened, and a fat guy came out. When he saw him, he grin his yellow teeth and came to him: "Isn't the boss going to eat something?"

"You eat first. I have something to think about." The man spit out a smoke ring and squinted at him.

This guy's name is Tao. He used to be a low-level trainer. He has trained all his muscles and looks fat. In fact, he is very strong. His swordsmanship and marksmanship are average, but no one in the team dares to fight with him.

Males all advocate force, so Tao is also doing well under him - at least no one dares to lift his reverse scales. When they see him, they all bow their heads and give way.

The man guessed that he had something to say to himself, otherwise he would not have slipped to the stable at this time when everyone was drinking and eating meat.

"Thinking about things? Does the boss have troubles in his heart? Tao patted the circle wood of the stable with his thick palm and asked unobstructedly, "Isn't he thinking about women? I didn't pay attention when I left yesterday. The little girl didn't follow me and had a quarrel with the boss?

He always speaks in this style. The man is too lazy to care about him. In addition, he is in a bad mood and only answers two words: "No."

Tao said with a gruff laugh, licked his lips and said, "Women are like this. The more you follow her, the more energetic she will be. You should beat her fiercely. If you beat her a few times, she will know that you are awesome. In the future, she will do whatever you ask her to do. This kind of thing is still my brother. I have experience, boss. It's right to listen to me. If you meet a woman who likes you in the future, don't treat her well. Whoever is tough will have the final say..."

The man put his pipe to his lips and took a deep breath and interrupted him: "I never hit a woman."

"Well, this boss, if you don't hit her, she will steal a man. Only when you discipline her well will she be obedient." Tao looked at him with the eyes of a layman. The old god was talking, and he was poked by something around his waist. He looked down and saw that it was the barrel of the gun.

The man put his index finger on the trigger, put the eye of the gun against his waist, and asked coldly, "Is the discipline obedient so that you can have a good time?"

The expression on Tao's face was so stiff that he hesitated a few times and couldn't say a complete word.

"Don't think I don't know what you have done to her in private," the man sent the gun a little further. Tao was so scared that he immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy. "What I said today, I hope you firmly remember that the man who beats women to satisfy his vanity is the most incompetent and inferiority in the world. The bastard, Elatia, like us, is a decent person, not a prostitute you can insult and flirt with at will! Her efforts and sweat are more than ten times that of each of you, so she can be better than all of you. If you want to beat her, let her look at you differently and fall in love with you, you have to become stronger, instead of playing hooligans in front of her when you have nothing to do, understand!"

Tao's face trembled, and his teeth trembled and replied, "Clear, understand! Got it!"

It happened that one of his men came out to feed the horse when he was full. When he saw one of them pointing a gun at the other, he was stunned, and the horse couldn't take care of it. He turned his head and rushed back to the hotel. In less than ten seconds, the whole team swarmed out and stared at them stunned.

"Remember what I just said." After the man threatened again, he put the gun back to his waist.

Tao was sweating profusely. He didn't say anything, just rubbed his hands and nodded.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and its nature is difficult to change. After being warned once, Tao was indeed shriveled for a long time and did not dare to bully good women again. But men also know that although these brothers are hot-blooded and belligerent and loyal, they subtly hold the same enemies for women and Elatia. The mood.

It's like a sudden addition of a pigeon in a group of crows. The crows either want to dye the pigeon black or eat it.

Elatia is extremely talented, but she works harder than anyone else. At a young age, she has become a magical swordsman. Although her ability is not ranked in the whole continent at all, her existence is still very eye-catching in a small team of adventurers.

Surrounded by five big and three thick men, who can play guns and use swords, Elatia is a young and beautiful girl with both magic. In contrast, it is the difference between clouds and mud. Those guys who don't want to be self-motivated and want to eat swan meat flirted with her several times with a shy face, but they were rejected fiercely without hatred. It's very difficult.

After all, in the eyes of most men, women are an accessory. You are weak, and they take it for granted, because you can make them look manly. If you are strong, they hope to step on your head, which will make them more like great husbands.

Elatia, who doesn't eat soft or hard, is really difficult in this team.

So he thought of leaving this girl behind.

Although I am very reluctant to give up.
