Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel held the shield upright in front of his chest, and tapped the snow on the ground with the long sword in his right hand obliquely. He moved his footsteps in small steps, and moved himself to a more open position.

There are not many places in the courtyard where he can fight with the bandits. He has to be careful not to step on the air and fall when fighting for a while.

The three targeted bandits walked out separately. One of them was holding two one-handed axes, one was carrying a big hammer, and the other was holding a strange-looking thing that looked like a long stick. The same thing is that the whole body of this long staff is made of heavy brass, and the upper part is a yellow metal snake head and a black metal cat head.

Heh, strange weapons.

Kiel pulled himself together, he had to keep an eye out for whoever wielded this weapon.

The three bandits, with the bandit carrying the hammer in the middle, laughed and waved the hammer as if they were far away from Kiel in a demonstration. It seemed like a waste of effort, but just looking at the bandit's strong body, he knew that This is just his strategy.

The other bandit who used a double ax was flexible on his feet, and the two axes in his hands kept switching hands as he moved, or they were lightly thrown and caught in a circle.

The last bandit held a strange long metal staff in both hands, and when it was flattened, the animal's head was in front of it, and it ran towards Kiel.

Kiel didn't dare to block the opponent's collision head-on. After all, it didn't look like a very light thing, and the weapon was strange. It would be troublesome if it had any strange effect.

He jumped to the left, out of the way of the bandit wielding the long staff, and then kicked and pushed the snow, quickly approaching the bandit with the double axe.

At the same time, he also satirized the other party: "Scum, you play like that with an ax in your hand, it's better to find a theater troupe to perform, it's much easier than being a bandit."

Kiel's words seemed to hit the bandit's sore spot. He stopped the spinning ax in his hand and rushed forward with a loud roar: "Go to hell!"

Kiel didn't pay attention to his attacks at all. The weight of a one-handed ax was limited, and the opponent was still dual-wielding, so the impact brought by each ax was even less high.

The shield was placed on the attack route of the ax early, and after resisting the opponent's blow, Kiel's long sword slanted up from the side of his body, flying the opponent's other one-handed ax with a longer swing distance.

The opponent's empty door was wide open, and Kiel slammed forward hard. The shield was pressed against the bandit's chest, but the bandit received an ax to his chest to block Kiel's impact.

But Kiel didn't mean that. He had noticed that three meters behind the bandit was a relatively steep place. He pressed the shield against the bandit's chest, but he didn't take it back, and pushed the bandit backwards.

The bandit had no choice but to take small steps back. The ax in his hand kept trying to chop on Kiel's head, but Kiel kept the opponent with his long sword, leaving him no distance to swing the axe.

Keel strode forward, and the bandit retreated in small steps. The bandit himself didn't realize anything, but the other bandits surrounding here could see clearly, knowing that Keel was going to push the bandit down the cliff.

It is quite steep here, and the ground is not a rough rock face, but a cliff covered with snow. Once rolled down, it is almost impossible to stop before rolling to the bottom of the mountain.

But rolling down from such a high place will kill a few lives.

Therefore, these bandits all shouted to remind this bandit: "Idiot! Stop! There is a cliff behind!"

"Stay out of the way."

"Stand firm and wrestle! The opponent is just a young man, how can you be weaker than him, wrestle!"

Keel could see that the alerted bandit was trying to survive, but he rammed the bandit forward hard, throwing the bandit on his back.

At this time, half of the bandit's arms were hanging in the air. He yelled in panic, and let go of the ax in his hand, trying to grab Kiel's legs and throw him to the ground.

But what came oncoming was a cowhide leather boot with an iron face.

boom!

With blood splattered and teeth falling out, the bandit was kicked in the face and lost consciousness. Kiel immediately added a kick, kicked the opponent's waist, and directly kicked the bandit off the cliff.

Accompanied by the bandit's body rolling down, there were curses from the surrounding bandits. But immediately, the bandits became excited again, screaming strangely.

Kiel immediately realized that something was wrong, he quickly turned around and lowered his whole body posture, while the shield on his left arm was raised obliquely against his head and face.

Sure enough, what followed immediately was a heavy blow of an iron hammer scratching the surface of the shield.

Bark~clang!

The place where the hammer and the shield scratched even sparked sparks, and the wooden decoration on the shield surface was even rotted with a horizontal hole.

Keel took a half step back to absorb the impact. At the same time, the long sword in his right hand stabbed straight at the hammer bandit who was attacking secretly.

The bandit was tall and burly, and Kiel's counterattack stabbed only in the opponent's thigh. The thick animal skin on the bandit's legs didn't have much defensive power, and it was even worse than the leaves in the face of Kiel's stabbing.

But the bandit's legs, feet and arms were thick and strong, and Kiel's shallow stabs didn't have any good effect. He then moved in the direction of the opponent's hammer, and at the same time raised the long sword diagonally in his hand, and put the tip of the long sword Pierce a part of the opponent's thigh to provoke more flesh and blood.

With just a simple swipe, Kiel's long sword broke a blood hole from the opponent's thigh, and hot blood gushed out from it.

Obviously, compared to the stabbing, the damage and pain caused by this blow made the bandit unbearable. The bandit gritted his teeth, covered the injured part of his thigh with his left hand, and at the same time strode back.

Kiel wanted to give chase, but another bandit raised the long metal staff high and swung it down towards Kiel.

This startled Kiel, and he didn't dare to use his shield to resist. If this posture is blocked, the lightest estimate is that the arm will be broken.

boom!

When it hit the ground, a lot of snow and scattered stones were knocked out, even the bandit himself had to use one hand to block his head and neck.

But Kiel didn't block it at all. After he dodged the slam on the ground, he immediately took a quick step forward against the impact of the gravel and snow, his steps arched, and he held the sword in his right hand straight forward. stretched out, and the long sword pierced straight into the center of the careless bandit's chest.

The very center of the human chest is the position of the heart, even if the chest has a large sternum defense, this is also the vital part of the human being.

It can only be said that this bandit may usually have other bandits to cooperate in the battle. If the other party has three or five people around him to assist, it will not be easy for Keir to kill him.

This heavy metal staff was obviously used by bandits to break through the heavily guarded caravan escorts. Common large wooden shields can easily be destroyed by this heavy weapon, and then provide opportunities for other bandits using normal weapons to break in and fight in close combat.

The bandit leader probably saw that Kiel had a metal shield and armor. It was difficult for ordinary weapons to break through the defense of the armor, so only heavy weapons could be used.

The bandit who used the two-handed ax was supposed to assist the other two bandits, but unexpectedly, he was the first to die.

-

A sword pierced the bandit's chest cavity and the heart in the chest cavity, and Kiel immediately withdrew his sword to dodge the last bandit's attack.

After forcing Kiel back, the last bandit hurried to check on his companions. However, the bandit whose breathing rapidly weakened was obviously due to a damaged heart, and immediately entered the countdown to death.

Putting down his soft companions, the last tall and strong bandit ignored the **** hole in his thigh, and immediately roared and swung a hammer at Kiel.

Kiel saw clearly the attack distance of the opponent's hammer, and adjusted the angle of retreat. Although the opponent's random smashing of the hammer seems to be full of momentum, people cannot approach and resist. But it is also very energy-consuming, especially when the other party is emotional, the energy loss will be accelerated.

That's because when humans are nervous or emotional, the muscles of the whole body will unconsciously tense up. Although this will help humans in the next fierce battle, it will also greatly accelerate the energy consumption in the muscles.

Oxygen, sugar, and waste products from body work. These things will be consumed or accumulated quickly in a short period of time.

Kiel adjusted his breathing evenly, relying on his precise judgment to dodge the opponent's attack. Originally, this wasn't too difficult, but who would have thought that just when Kiel focused his attention on the approaching bandit, his back.

One of the bandits who were watching not far behind immediately took two quick steps forward, without attacking Kiel's armor with the iron sword in his hand. He kicked Kiel directly in the back, kicking Kiel, who hadn't noticed, staggering.

When suddenly attacked, Keir immediately took a step forward to keep his body steady, so he didn't fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the bandit's hammer struck quickly, and Keir couldn't help it. He lowered his body, spotted the hammer that the other party was swinging quickly, and blocked it with his shield.

You can't release the force obliquely, in that case, the force of the oblique force will bring him to the ground. Once it falls, it's nothing to face an ordinary opponent, but the opponent is a tall bandit with a hammer. Once he falls to the ground, he will be hit by the opponent with a heavy blow from top to bottom.

It is estimated that Kiel will be dead with one touch, and the armor will not help him. He would have been crushed with a single blow to all his viscera in his chest cavity and died instantly.

If the bandit had to patch the helmet again, Keel estimated that his face would have to be poured out of the helmet.

So, at this moment, he pointed his shield at the hammer that was swung.

If there is a collision, let us both bear the impact.

Boom!

There was a crisp impact accompanied by a high-frequency vibration, and the bandits onlookers had to cover their ears. Even so, they all felt itchy and painful inside their ears.

In the audience, only Crowe Knight stood in place like no one else. From the beginning of the battle, no matter what the battle situation was, Kiel just stood there, folded his arms and watched quietly. At most, he turned his helmet and watched Keel fight with the three bandits without making a comment.

The other onlookers felt very uncomfortable, and it was even more uncomfortable for Kiel and the bandit who were fighting against each other.

Kiel's mouth was slightly opened, his teeth were bumping up and down and trembling, and the shield that was originally stretched forward with his left hand was also knocked against his chest. Fortunately, he didn't straighten his arm directly, so when he was hit, his left hand naturally bent and hit his chest.

Although the left arm was not broken, Keir was hit on the chest, which still made him unable to breathe for a while, and a small mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

But Keir's spirit was relatively clear, and his lifeless eyes quickly regained consciousness. His pupils contracted, and he stared at the bandit opposite him.

The bandit on the opposite side was also uncomfortable, and the hammer swung out with both hands hit the Kiel shield that was defending the front. It's like hitting a stone wall with a hammer, or a tough iron felt with a hammer.

The hammer he swung quickly bounced back at the same speed as before. The bandit's fingers bent for a while, and there was a burning pain on his fingers wrapped in coarse cloth. After regaining consciousness, the bandit thought that a layer of skin on his fingers had been scraped off by rubbing, but when he looked down, he realized that it was not so, but The coarse cloth wrapped around his fingers rubbed violently against the long wooden handle of the hammer, and they started to rub against each other.

The robber immediately extinguished the weak flame in his hand, leaving only a little black smoke.

But just as he finished his hands, Kiel had already slashed the long sword straight over.

The bandit's fingers were in pain, and his arms were sore and numb, and he couldn't do the usual easy defensive moves at this time. As a last resort, he was able to give up using weapons to counterattack to force the opponent back, and he was able to use his fleshy arms to resist Kiel's steel long sword.

Can flesh and blood match steel?

This question is a good question in this different world. If you ask Knight Crowe, the knight will automatically tell you: "Flesh is naturally equal to steel. In fact, flesh will easily surpass steel."

But if you ask other people nearby, whether they are bandits or militiamen, everyone will just shake their heads and tell you to eat less wild mushrooms of unknown origin. Those things are bad for people's brains, unless they are starving to death, otherwise It's better to be hungry than to eat those unknown mushrooms.

Kiel's long sword arced across, and the flesh and blood brought some obstacles to slow down, but it still couldn't stop it from biting its master's enemies.

"My hand! Hand!" The bandit stretched forward with one hand clenched on the wooden handle of the hammer, trying to force Kiel back, and the other hand reached out in front of his eyes in despair, watching the blood gushing out from the broken part, and the cross-section of some broken muscles The upper body twitched, the tendons connecting the bones contracted extremely and retracted into the severed arm, and the fresh bone marrow in the section of the bone that was cut off immediately gushed out tiny blood, but it didn't seem too painful.

And the fear of the bandit's severed hand ends here. His hammer didn't block Kiel at all. In fact, after Kiel cut off the opponent's hand with a sword, he immediately moved his feet. While the opponent ignored everything to check the condition of his arm, he came directly behind the bandit.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sword from Xiaoshou, and the terrified expression of the bandit would remain on his face forever.

-

Clap clap.

Knight Crowe clapped his palms with thick metal gloves, as a recognition of Kiel's one-vs-three fight just now.

Kiel scanned the eyes of the bandits around him, and saw pairs of fierce eyes staring at him, but Kiel stared back fiercely one by one. As a result, he saw the retreat of many bandits who thought they were no match for him. .

Patting the armor on his chest and rubbing his hot and painful left hand, Keel returned to Knight Crowe's side.

"Okay, the strength of both of us has been fully demonstrated in the brief battle just now. You stand back now, and I don't want your life." Knight Crowe said with his hand on the hilt of his waist.

The bandits around all looked at their leader, and the bandits could see that the two who came up today are not ordinary people, the young men in the hard cowhide armor are so difficult to deal with, so the other guy is hard to match at a glance , it is estimated to be even more powerful.

They looked at the bandit leader, the decapitated Delang's face was twitching, he touched the double-edged ax that fell to the ground by his side, and kept thinking. The breathing in his chest gradually became heavy, and his eyes were fixed on the Crowe knight hidden under the helmet visor.

But he couldn't see the knight's emotions and expressions through the mask, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to make a big fuss, and led his men to chop the two people in front into meat, and then threw them into the corpse pit in the back mountain to feed the living corpses.

But the experience and intuition he brought from years of fighting has been loudly calling the police, telling him strongly that if he really does this, then he will die today, and all the close subordinates who came with him will die here together.

The two thoughts were constantly intertwined in his consciousness, causing him to mutter to himself: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of death."

Trying to talk myself into fighting.

However, in his many years of military career, Knight Crowe has encountered many such people. He stretched out his empty left hand forward.

The action of the knight broke the rigid posture of all the people on the scene, and everyone was attracted by the action of the knight of Crowe.

The knight held out his hand, as if shaking hands with an invisible person.

But there was no one in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy metal staff on the ground not far away vibrated and flew away from the ground. The heavy metal rod stirred the air and made a terrible whining sound, letting everyone around know that if they touched it, they would be injured.

The long staff spinning in the air suddenly stopped, and then gradually accelerated and flew towards the hand of Knight Crowe.

Kiel was very close, and he saw a faint khaki-yellow light shining through the steel glove on the outstretched hand of the knight, which reminded him of the pure elemental crystal fragments he traded to the knight.

That thing is also khaki.

It seems that what was traded gave Crow Knight some new strange abilities?

Thinking this way, Keir himself was not frightened by the knight's move. After all, he had seen even scarier and more incredible evil stone statues.

But the bandits on the opposite side were all terrified. Some people said words like magicians in horror, and some thought that Knight Crowe was a priest priest, which was releasing divine power~www.readwn.com~Yes The bandits didn't care what it was, they immediately ran to the simple wooden ladder that came up, regardless of whether the leader gave the order to retreat.

De Lang gradually calmed down. Although his desire to fight was still there, this time he didn't need to tell him anything from his intuition and experience. He realized that if he fought, he would never win, and he would just die. What a hard idea. .

Knight Crowe held the metal long staff flying in the air, then turned his hand and gave a downward blow.

Boom!

Everyone on the field felt the vibration from under their feet, and even inside the vertical patio next to them, there was a burst of panicked shouts.

Kiel only heard a few vague words, and he could guess that the bandits below suspected an earthquake and were hiding everywhere.

"Retreat, retreat! Let's retreat first." The decapitated Delang was terrified. He raised his weapon and turned to retreat. He didn't care whether the Kiel and Claw knights behind him would kill him when he turned his back.

Seeing the bandits crawling down, Knight Crowe turned and walked the way he came: "Let's go, go down and continue looking at other general places."

"Hey, please wait a moment." After Kiel finished speaking, he ran to cut off the head of the bandit who was using a long staff, then searched the two bandits' bodies, and caught up with them with a hammer and two heads with disheveled hair. Crow Knight.

"Do you want to search the belongings of the other bandit as well?" The knight joked as he looked at what Kirti was holding.

Unexpectedly, Kiel agreed immediately, and when he returned, he searched for the ax-wielding bandit who fell under the steep cliff. Unfortunately, of the two one-handed axes, one was held tightly by the fallen bandit and was found by Kiel, but he didn't know where the other one went when it fell down the mountain. He didn't find it.
