Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji packed up the equipment he needed, then lifted his backpack, and moved to the edge of the forest with small steps to look out.

The goblins rested enough and gathered together to make a fuss. Some goblins carried crude wooden containers filled with water and came to the water source in the woods to fetch water.

Zhao Ji suppressed his desire to attack and did not launch an attack before dark.

After the goblins fetched water and returned to the goblin team, the large group of goblins started to move slowly towards the north.

I don't know what these goblins are going to do. There is nothing to the north of this location, only a large wilderness and a few sparse forests. Zhao Ji secretly followed behind their team from a distance.

Even if the goblin team moved, it was procrastinating and slow, so the three little goblin leaders kept beating the slow-moving goblins with slings.

A little while later, when dusk passes and the sun dips below the horizon. Only then did the goblins slowly move the distance of two hills to the north. Zhao Ji lay on the top of another hill, using a bush to hide himself. He found that after dark, the team of goblins stopped moving, but soon, after a roar and scolding that could be heard from such a distance as him, Zhao Ji vaguely saw the goblins on the opposite side of the hill. Brin's team started moving again.

After it got dark, Zhao Ji couldn't see clearly, but he could roughly see the goblin team moving at a very slow speed.

This is the perfect time.

Zhao Ji was fully equipped for the last time. He took the spear in his hand, got up, and ran towards the goblins with a low body and small steps. Soon, Zhao Ji caught up with the horde of goblins.

After getting close, Zhao Ji found that two of the three goblin leaders were leading the team, while the remaining one was at the end of the team to prevent other goblins from falling behind during the night. Next to each goblin leader are two or three goblins carrying spears, and in the middle of the team are other coolie goblins carrying things on their backs or dragging sleds with vines.

A small leader, three spear goblins.

can fight.

Zhao Ji knew that the goblin's hearing should be good, so he took a light step when he finally approached the goblin team. When he approached several goblins in the goblin team from the side, Zhao Ji picked up a piece of dirt from the ground and threw it far in front of him.

The clods of dirt flew over the heads of several goblins silently, and then fell to the opposite ground with a crackling sound.

Several goblins turned around vigilantly, and the three goblins holding bone guns held the bone guns in their hands and faced the direction of the sound. And the little goblin leader took out a round stone from the animal skin bag at his waist with his left hand, and the sling in his right hand hung down from his arm.

Zhao Ji saw this opportunity, raised his spear with both hands, and rushed straight out from his hiding place.

The first shot was aimed at the little goblin leader who was attacking from a distance.

Zhao Ji didn't think of hitting the target's head in the dark, but stuck the spear in the middle of the goblin's torso.

With a pop, the spear pierced through the goblin's chest. When the spear pierced the opponent's chest from behind, Zhao Ji could obviously feel the vibration and different stabbing sensations of the iron spear head passing through the bones of the opponent's back and penetrating the opponent's sternum from both hands holding the spear.

In the end, the little goblin leader just uttered a loud scream, and then lost his voice.

This scream caused the entire goblin team to fall into chaos. The goblins leading the way wanted to see what was going on behind them, but were stopped by the confused coolie goblins. At the end of the goblin team, the spear goblin, whose attention was attracted by the clods, finally realized that the enemy was behind him.

They turned around, and the three goblins lined up in a row, swearing something in their mouths, and stabbed at Zhao Ji, an invisible enemy, with a bone spear.

Zhao Ji wanted to take back the spear that penetrated the goblin's body, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't take it back for a while. He also gave up temporarily, and directly used the corpse of the little goblin leader as a shield, facing the attack of the three bone spears.

Puff puff puff, three consecutive stabbing sounds came out, but the three goblin bone guns failed to penetrate the body of the dead little goblin leader, and their weapons were also stuck on the corpse .

Zhao Ji seized the fighting opportunity, let go of the spear with both hands, held out the shield with his left hand, and pulled out the long sword from his left waist with his right hand to hunt. He rushed towards the three goblins who panicked for a moment.

The distance between the two sides was only about three meters. The moment Zhao Ji flashed out from behind the dead goblin leader, the long sword he drew was already stuck in front of the eyes of the three goblins.

Without the time and distance to swing the long sword, Zhao Ji had no choice but to slam the shield in his left hand straight at the head of a goblin he was facing when he was approaching the goblins, and the long sword in his right hand moved directly with the speed of his body Send it into the belly of the next goblin.

boom!

With a sound of impact, Zhao Ji slammed into a goblin with the shield. The hideous face of the hit goblin was hit by the shield and lost its original hideous appearance, and the sword sent by Zhao Ji also disappeared. Slashed the belly of another goblin. He couldn't see clearly at night, but Zhao Ji only heard the sound of rattling intestines falling to the ground and the panicked screams of the injured goblin, and he knew it was finished.

The remaining goblin also gave up the possibility of pulling out the bone spear, and directly took out the stick from his waist, thinking of Zhao Ji, and rushed forward.

Zhao Ji got up from the unconscious goblin whose face was smashed by him, and used the shield in his left hand to meet the attacking goblin stick.

Crack, clap. There were two hits on the shield, Zhao Ji felt the impact on his left arm, and his body also took two steps back following the opponent's impact.

Without giving the goblin any more chances to attack, Zhao Ji stretched his long sword forward along the edge of the shield, and the whole person rushed forward again. The goblin put a wooden stick on Zhao Ji's shield to wrestle with Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's left arm was holding on to the goblin, while the long sword in his right hand pierced sinisterly forward.

Because the distance was very close, Zhao Ji grinned and looked at the steel tip of the long sword, which slid into the goblin's wide-eyed frightened eyes under his control.

This stab directly pierced the goblin's brain from the eye socket. In just a moment, the goblin lost his strength and fell in front of Zhao Ji's shield. Its hands were still tightly grasping after the fall. The wooden stick is not loose.

Zhao Ji just took a breath, and when he looked up, he saw several goblins with their backs pounced towards him.

Taking advantage of the ferocity of the killing just now, Zhao Ji yelled ferociously at the goblin who was rushing towards him.

"Hiss!!"

Along with the roar was the clash of long swords and shields.

boom! boom! boom!

Several goblins who originally wanted Zhao Ji to attack stopped immediately, lay on the ground, hugged their heads with their arms and shivered.

"Ha!" Zhao Ji sneered, strode forward, and came to the goblin who had been stunned by his shield, and directly pierced the opponent's chest and heart with a sword, killing him.

Just when Zhao Ji was about to take advantage of the chaos of the opponent to get some more victories, there was a humming sound from the other end of the goblin team in the distance.

Zhao Ji felt his scalp go numb when he heard the sound. He quickly raised his shield to protect his head and torso, and then turned the shield towards the direction of the sound.

Whoosh, whoosh sounded back and forth, and the high-speed flying stones flew past Zhao Ji.

Missed him. Sure enough, the effect of launching an attack after dark is remarkable.

While holding out his shield to defend against long-range stone throwing attacks, Zhao Ji casually scratched the backs of several goblins beside him with his long sword.

The goblin who was randomly scratched by the long sword yelled, and stopped shrinking in place, and ran towards a place he thought was safe in the distance while screaming. Zhao Ji took this opportunity to go back to the little goblin leader who was killed first. With his right hand, he thrust the long sword upside down into the soil on the ground, grabbed his long spear with both hands and kicked him hard. On the corpse, he finally pulled out his spear with a splash of blood.

At the same time as Zhao Ji drew his gun, accompanied by the whining sound in the distance, several flying stones hit the screaming Goblin running to the side accurately one after another.

It is estimated that the two little goblin leaders were also panicked. After encountering such an unexpected attack, they were also nervous for a while and did not recognize the voices of their own goblins in the distance. Just instinctively throwing stones at the place where the battle sounded in the distance.

Zhao Ji saw that the four fleeing goblins were hit and injured by the stone throwing, so he smiled, leaned forward with his shield and retreated. His attack just now caused eight casualties in the opposite goblin team, a small goblin leader, three bone gun goblins, and four coolie goblins who were killed and injured by themselves. Forest.

Zhao Ji felt that it was okay for the time being. He had to look for another opportunity to attack, and retreat now. After all, it was just dark and the night was still very long.

-----------

It took a long time for the goblins to restore order after being attacked, and this was the result of two goblin chieftains slinging the coolie goblins who were shouting and running wildly with slings. When the goblins who were able to fight came to the place where they fought just now and looked at it against the darkness, they found that they had suffered a lot of losses, which made them furious, but they didn't know where the enemy was, so they could only simply judge that they were holding weapons humans attacked them.

They have never been the only ones who came to attack humans. How could humans attack a battle team as big as them. This angered those who could fight in the goblin team.

But anger is anger, it's so dark tonight, there's nothing they can do about it. A large group of goblins could only gather together tightly, pick up the weapons they can hold, and face outward in unison, resisting the darkness and the killing intent in the darkness.

Zhao Ji returned to the top of the hill where he hid for observation. He took out a soft cloth for wiping weapons from the backpack placed here, and wiped his weapons in the dark. When wiping the shield, he also found that there were several goblin fangs stuck on the front leather of his shield. It is estimated that when the shield hit the goblin's head just now, the goblin with his mouth open left behind. The 'little gift' above.

While observing the goblins gathered not far away through the dark night, Zhao Ji used a dagger to lift the goblin fangs embedded in the shield leather.

The goblin's fangs had a strong stench, and Zhao Ji guessed that they never knew how to clean their mouths on their own initiative.

Just as Zhao Ji was using a dagger to remove the fangs, the footsteps of beasts sneaking closer could be heard in the darkness not far behind Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji's ears moved, and he grasped the shield tightly with his left hand, while quietly lowering the dagger with his right hand, he groped for the hilt of the long sword at his waist in the dark.

Estimating the distance from the sound behind him, Zhao Ji suddenly turned over and rolled sideways from the posture of lying on the ground, squatting halfway and drawing out the long sword at his waist.

It was not a sudden attack, but two pairs of indifferent and cruel beast eyes in the darkness. The eyes of four beasts hang in the dark sky, like four small tunnels leading to the world of death.

Zhao Ji stared closely at the two pairs of beast eyes, and slowly changed from a half-squatting position on the ground to a combat stance capable of attacking and defending. Just by looking at the beast's eyes, Zhao Ji knew that they were two wolves running rampant in the wilderness.

The wild beasts sensed the killing intent of fighting from the eyes of the humans. They let out low-pitched roars, and the two wolves spread out, trying to double-team the humans from left to right.

But Zhao Ji could see from their actions that they were beasts with simple fighting intentions. Without giving them a chance to double-team left and right, Zhao Ji retreated in small steps, and he retreated straight towards the team of goblins gathered.

Seeing that the double-teaming was impossible, the wild wolf walked slowly to the top of the hill, sat there with its ears pricked up, not knowing what it was waiting for.

Zhao Ji stared at the spear he had left behind just now at the foot of a wild wolf. He left the weapon in the backpack and couldn't get it just now.

Just as Zhao Ji was slowly retreating down the hill, ten pairs of wild wolf eyes appeared from the top of the hill. The cruel and indifferent beast pupils stared at the retreating humans and the goblins gathered in the distance, and then the twelve wild wolves raised their heads and howled.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

He used to think that the howling of wild wolves had a natural feeling of freedom brought by the nature of wild beasts~www.readwn.com~ But it really made him howl with twelve wild wolves, Zhao Ji just felt it deeply There was an instinctive tremor in his body, and his teeth collided unconsciously.

Forcibly taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji forced himself to be calm, panic will only bring stupid death, so be calm.

Just as Zhao Ji was forcibly cheering himself up, the goblins gathered under the hill also heard a tidy wolf howl from the top of the hill not far away. The goblins panicked at first, but under the leadership of the little goblin leader, they responded to the disorderly roars of the wasteland wolves.

In addition to roaring together, the goblins cursed loudly in their goblin's simple language towards the place where the howling of wolves came from in the darkness. Although Zhao Ji didn't understand what the scolding was all about, he could tell from the harsh tone of voice that it was not a good word.

In addition to cursing, the two little goblin chieftains whirled and spun the sling, and threw two flying stones towards the location where the howling of wolves came from.

The flying stone passed through a distance of 100 meters, and hit exactly where the sound came from on the top of the hill. A burst of wild beast whimpers interrupted the neat howling of the wolves.

The goblins under the hill clapped their hands and stomped their feet when they heard the wailing sound of the wild wolf being hit. Their curses became louder at the same time, and the confidence and tone of the curses seemed to be stronger than before. some.

Zhao Ji stopped backing up, opened his eyes as wide as possible and observed the goblins under the hill and the wolves on the top of the hill through the darkness. He found things interesting.

He no longer approached the goblins, but tried to make his position with the goblins and the wolves form a triangle.

The three of them each occupy one end.
