Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1028 Shoes That Fit Well

The sky darkened and visibility decreased, as hundreds of pirate cavalrymen gradually moved upstream along the riverbank.

But they didn't notice that the long caravan was losing men from the very back.

Lin Feng did not harm the warhorse, but instead led it into the river, letting it drift downstream with the current.

Warhorses can swim, and perhaps after drifting for a while, they will come ashore on their own.

This way, Lin Feng's actions would not be exposed, nor would he lose his horse's life.

As darkness fell, the pirate cavalry leader ordered his men to camp, as they could not find their target in the dark.

Some people started a bonfire, while others lit torches.

The various teams began to gather together, in groups of twenty or thirty, sitting around the fire, organizing their equipment, taking out water and fodder, feeding the horses, washing the horses, and busying themselves with their own tasks.

Unable to rejoin the group, Lin Feng found a bush and dismounted in a dark corner.

The horses carried various war supplies, essential items for the pirate cavalry.

Lin Feng prepared clean water for his warhorse, then hid behind a bush, watching the pirates chatting and laughing in the distance, drinking water and munching on the pirates' rations by himself.

He wondered whether he should leave under cover of night or kill the pirates.

After a moment, he frowned and shook his head.

The pirates were too numerous. Even if he could kill them, it would be an unfair victory. Besides, they posed no threat to him and had no ability to protect themselves. Excessive killing would be against the will of Heaven.

Lin Feng exhaled a breath of stale air and touched his toes.

He was still missing a pair of shoes, so he looked around, searching for his target.

The person should be about the same height as you, about the same weight, and have feet that are about the same size, so that the shoes won't be too uncomfortable for your feet.

Looking at the pirates busily tending to their warhorses in the distance, which one of them will be unlucky?

I just want to get a pair of shoes, or maybe a dry and comfortable set of clothes, which would be even better.

Lin Feng searched around and finally fixed his gaze on the leader of the pirate cavalry.

This guy is similar to me in every way, so he's definitely the most suitable candidate.

However, the pirate leader had two guards who stayed by his side at all times.

We have to wait a little longer. It will be late at night, and after all the pirates have gone to sleep, that's when Lin Feng can make his move.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and concentrated, beginning to circulate his true energy.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already past 3:45 AM. The fire in the distance had long since gone out, and the pirates were snoring.

Lin Feng stretched his body, wrapped his feet in his clothes, picked up his bow, and got up to walk towards the pirate camp.

He easily avoided the sentry posts set up by the pirates, because the sentry was also in a semi-sleep state.

Having already locked onto his target, Lin Feng quickly located the pirate leader's position.

The leader slept between two guards, the three of them huddled together, as if huddling together for warmth.

Lin Feng began to draw the bow, but before he had fully drawn it, he heard the bow start to creak and groan. The noise was too loud, and in this situation, everyone was very sensitive to such sounds.

He released the bow, walked over quietly, sat down at the head of the pirate leader, pressed down on the leader's arms with his legs, hugged the pirate leader's head with both hands, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, grabbed the back of the pirate leader's head with the other hand, and twisted his head forcefully.

With a muffled crack, Lin Feng snapped the pirate leader's neck. He struggled a couple of times, but Lin Feng's leg held him firmly down, preventing him from disturbing the guards beside him.

After waiting for a while, the pirate leader suddenly kicked a few times, then his body went limp, and he stopped breathing from his mouth and nose, completely dead.

One of the two guards sleeping next to the leader mumbled a few words, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Lin Feng began to quietly strip the pirate leader of his clothes and shoes.

Apart from the snoring, all around was silent.

Of course, there were also rustling sounds of people taking off and putting on clothes.

The pirate leader's bows and arrows and straight swords were of much better quality than those of the others, so Lin Feng took them as well.

Sure enough, the shoes were the highlight, and Lin Feng was very satisfied with them.

Not only does it fit perfectly, but it's also very soft. I don't know what kind of leather it is, but it feels smooth to the touch.

The only downside was the strong body odor, but Lin Feng didn't care about that.

After tidying up, he got up and went to fetch the pirate leader's warhorse.

Without a doubt, the pirate leader's warhorse was the best, bar none.

As Lin Feng led his warhorse out of the camp, a pirate who got up to urinate shouted something loudly.

Of course, Lin Feng couldn't understand what he was shouting, but he turned around, drew his bow, and silenced the pirate with an arrow.

Lin Feng watched as the pirates fell to the ground, standing still, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

The snoring continued, and no one noticed what had just happened.

These pirates slept very well. Perhaps they were too tired from chasing them all day, and they felt that their target had jumped into the water and escaped. They no longer posed any threat to them on this land, so they slept very soundly.

Lin Feng listened carefully to the movement of the river, confirmed the direction, then mounted his horse and let it slowly walk away from the pirates' camp.

When the distance had increased to more than a mile, the horse was urged to trot, and then gallop at a medium speed.

Visibility is low at night, and if you run fast, you may trip over unseen obstacles.

Although Lin Feng couldn't be injured, the warhorse couldn't be crippled.

Since boats are hard to find, we'll have to rely on our warhorse for the rest of the journey.

As dawn broke, three figures stood beside the pirates' encampment, frowning as they observed the people sleeping in the fields.

A figure pointed and said, "Master, that should be the leader."

“Go and call him over.”

This master, naturally, was from the waterfall who had followed them. He brought two apprentices and traveled at night to reach this place.

His male disciple is named Pu Liuxiao, and his female disciple is named Pu Liulingji. Both of them are from the Pu Liu family, and it was only because of their family background that they were accepted as disciples by Pu Liuduan.

Waterfall Wanderer moved with incredible speed, his body swaying and trembling as he instantly arrived at the location of the pirate leader, bending down to take a picture of the still-sleeping pirate leader.

However, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he didn't slap it down.

Because, as Pu Liuxiao discovered, this pirate leader was no longer breathing, and the air around his body exuded the aura of death.

After a moment of stunned silence and a brief observation, Pu Liuxiao swayed and passed through the haphazardly arranged human figures, arriving in front of his master.

"Master, the leader is dead."

The waterfall-dweller was stunned: "How did he die?"

"Master, his neck has been broken."

"What about the rest?"

"The two guards are still fast asleep."

At the waterfall's end, he scratched his cheek with his fingers, grinned, and looked into the distance.

"Damn it, what does this Shufengting mean?"

Waterfall Lingji cautiously asked, "Master, has he already figured out our intentions?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

“Master, he only kills the leaders and doesn’t expand the killing spree. He must know what we’re thinking.”
