《The Glory After Rebirth》C36. Thank You for Saving Our Lives
Advertisement
Stone’s voice was so sharp that it cut through the heavy curtain of the rain, disclosing what was happening in the mountain path to the cavalry.
The man in lead raised his head, shooting sharp glance from beneath his bamboo hat like two sharp knives piercing through the rain into the hearts of all. The momentum was just too overwhelming.
“Who are you!” the bandits’ face changed drastically.
But no one ever responded, and the whole cavalry was in silence. They broke through the rain and approached with a stern momentum.
“Stop, or we’ll kill you!” The leader of the bandits raged.
The cavalry didn’t stop, and the leading guy’s eyes were so indifferent and sharp that he paid no attention to the bandit leader at all.
“Damn it! Brethren, take up your weapons and here come some hard nuts to crack!” The bandit leader cursed and ordered loudly.
Then the number of bandits attacking Guard Wang suddenly reduced, which made the guard and his companions feel relieved. They could be saved!
“Uncle Li, take the opportunity to hide in the carriage with Stone hurriedly later on, and we’ll handle the rest”, guard Wang spoke to the butler.
“All right,” the butler answered.
At the moment, some bandits had pulled up the cheval-de-frise again, waiting for the cavalry to run over.
Seeing that the cavalry didn’t stop yet, the guard frowned, “What’s wrong with those guys? They didn’t notice the cheval-de-frise?”
Just when Guard Wang was worrying, the cavalry had drawn very near, just about ten meters away from them.
“Neigh...” a clear and melodious whinny rang out. The leading guy pulled the reins to stop the horse, and the front hoofs of the horse kicked up high and then dropped down.
It turned out that he had noticed. Guard Wang got relieved. While dealing with a few bandits who were still pestering them, the guard kept paying attention to the cavalry.

The man in the lead raised his head to look at them, showing his appearance under the bamboo hat. It was a handsome face with outstanding features as if they had been well-carved by a knife. His long eyebrows stretched to his sideburns, and he got a pair of long and narrow sharp eyes, sweeping everyone keenly.
“Kill him!” Pointing his knife to the guy on the horse, the bandit leader yelled ferociously.
Casting an indifferent glance at the bandit leader, the guy on the horse opened his mouth for the first time, “Don’t feel pity for these murderous bandits, and kill them all.”
“Yes!” All of the men behind him shouted in chorus as if they had practiced for numerous times.
These men who had been silent a moment ago unleashed strong homicidal intent suddenly like a sharp sword unsheathed.
They got off their horses in unison, and without any hesitation, rushed at the bandits.
Guard Wang and his companions got shocked by the following scene, and it would take a long time for them to forget it.
In front of the cavalry who appeared suddenly, those bandits who had been difficult to deal with a moment ago collapsed at the first blow as if a crowd of kids were shaking their fists before adults.
Every cut got to bones, and blood splashed. These people cooperated perfectly, and their brows didn’t even move a bit while killing the bandits.
Several bandits who were still fighting with the guards saw this, and their faces turned pale and their hands began to tremble. Guard Wang and his men took the opportunity to knock them down.
The ground was full of dead bodies, and all those bandits had been killed. The dilemma was solved in a flash.
However, the butler and Guard Wang looked grave, realizing the team before them was not an ordinary cavalry. They had been so well-coordinated and well-disciplined, and they came from the military.
Stone was the only one who hadn’t realized it yet. Just now, a streak of blood splashed from the knives of those guys, and stuck to the face of Stone, which directly made him faint after rolling his eyes.
The butler exchanged a look with Guard Wang before he stood out, bending down deeply to give a salute. “Your Honor, thank you for saving our lives.”

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
