Mercenaries and Adventurers

Lonzos suddenly realized something. He pointed to the laughing waiter who was out of control, and said to the captain of the hotel guard next to him: "Look at him and don't let him run away. Something should happen later, militiamen! Hurry up with me!" support in the past."

As soon as the words fell, he stopped paying attention to the waiter and the female thugs who pestered and framed him before, and hurried back with the militiamen who followed him.

The backyard of the hotel where the supplies were sorted out was still a little far away. Hearing the continuous sound of weapons clashing and roaring from the backyard, he immediately changed his footsteps from fast walking to fast running.

Originally, in noble etiquette, one should not run no matter what, especially when the noble himself is the person with the highest status, he should maintain the noble demeanor and majesty.

But Lonzos really felt that the matter was too serious. If the task entrusted to him by Knight Crowe could not be completed, would it affect the loyalty of future knights to him?

He didn't dare to think about this question, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that these bandits were cunning and vicious.

He led the militiamen to quickly open some doors that were closed because of the darkness, and at the same time thought of what happened just now in his mind. Most likely, it was a special set up by the bandits in order to attract him and his militiamen to a place away from supplies. trap.

There were only a few mercenary guards hired by the merchants in the backyard. Originally, the merchants tried their best to participate in the transportation of the monster corpses, but he was quite unwilling before.

After all, the Warcraft was taken by his father's knight, Lanisa Knight, alone. There is really no need for other forces to join in.

But now, he only hated that the merchants invited and hired too few mercenary guards.

I don't know if those mercenaries can withstand the bandits' attack.

In a flash of thought, he guessed that there might not be many bandits, otherwise, there would be no need to set a trap to lure him and his militia away.

-

The closer you get to the backyard, the messier the situation looks. Several hotel waiters who were in charge of guarding and feeding the livestock fled from the front, saying something was on fire, something like that was on fire.

Long Suos gritted his teeth, sure enough.

The main purpose of the bandits is to use fire to destroy the supplies provided to the front-line militia. If the food among these materials is burned, it can be solved. After all, there are a lot of such basic materials in Bingxun Pass. As long as you can afford it, you can get a large amount of supply.

But among these supplies, the most important ones are actually the supply crossbow bolts produced by the artisans of Kendall City. These items are numerous and neat in size, and they are the most important guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the militiamen.

Without the crossbow arrows, the crossbows owned by each of the militiamen would be useless. They could fight against the ferocious bandits only by being trained by the farmers for half a month, and they relied more on this integrated long-range projectile weapon.

Close to the backyard, Lonsos and the others could smell a lot of flames and thick smoke after the materials were burned, and their noses were full of choking smoke.

Fortunately, the hotel is not short of money. Most of its backyards are built of stones, and the supplies are basically placed in the open space in the middle of the backyard.

Finally, after crossing a wooden door, the situation in the backyard finally came into Lonzos' sight.

A side entrance and exit in the backyard was knocked open, and some materials facing directly were being set ablaze by several bandits, and some bandits were splashing some flammable grease liquid with clay pots on their chests.

Looking at it, Long Suos's eyes were tearing: "Stop those bandits who are splashing oil!"

The militiamen who had been following Lonzos immediately unloaded the bows and crossbows on their backs. They didn't use their feet to assist them at all. The raised material flames aimed at the bandits and shot.

Whoosh whoosh.

The two bandits who were only interested in splashing grease were directly shot through their chests by crossbow arrows, and they fell to the ground and screamed.

And some bandits, who saw the militiamen appearing, became vigilant and prepared to fight, but at the last moment they dodged the aimed shots of the crossbow arrows.

On the other side of the backyard, the few mercenaries who were fighting with the bandits were overjoyed and immediately roared in unison, temporarily forcing back the elite bandits who were fighting with them.

Because of the limited weapons in their hands, the bandits had a hard time dealing with the few mercenaries who were focused on defending and fighting. The short-handled guys in their hands couldn't deal with the strong wooden shields in the hands of the mercenaries at all.

As soon as the bandit leader saw the led away militia came back, his subordinates had almost set fire to the supplies for the militia.

I think it's time to retreat.

These materials are tied together with wooden boxes and oil-soaked ropes, and the lamp oil they brought is very easy to ignite, and because there is grease inside, it is difficult to be extinguished by a few people.

"Let's go! The mission is successful! Everyone retreat!" The bandit leader roared. When the other bandits heard his words, they also threw the clay pots on their chests to the supplies, and then waved their weapons casually, preparing to leave. They rushed in through the backyard side door and went back.

As long as these militiamen still want to salvage some supplies, there will be no problem for the bandits to escape.

After a while, they can also randomly set fires in the Ice Flood Pass to increase the chaos of the pass. As long as the merchants feel that the situation is tense, it will be difficult for these militiamen to get a new batch of supplies in a short time.

Perfect!

The boss of the bandit leader is grinning, he has completed the mission very well this time, maybe he can use this to become the new leader of Luobagdong when he returns. Hahahaha, he laughed exaggeratedly, and when he was illuminated by the flickering flames of the supplies, he looked extremely ferocious.

And Lonzos was about to explode. He saw that the bandits retreated immediately when they saw him and the militiamen coming. more prosperous.

"Don't think about leaving so easily, you're going to die!" Lonzos didn't care about anything else, he walked away from the militia, stood in a relatively open small space, and set fire to it, so After getting the signal, run on the fastest few bandits.

He raised his hands, lightly supported the metal parts on both sides of the crown, fixed his eyes on those damned bandits, and softly shouted: "Frozen Glacier!"

As soon as the magic activation password was spoken, the gems on the magic head crown shone brightly.

The blue square gem immediately gave birth to a finger-thick blue torrent, which shot out from Long Suosi's forehead, and then followed Long Suosi's binocular aiming, and instantly hit a man who ran to the side door of the backyard. robbers.

Long Suos just glanced at the bandit with his eyes, and then immediately skipped the bandit and stared at the next bandit.

The blue torrent shot left and right on the bandit, and then large pieces of ice crystals condensed out of the air. The bandit only felt his body go numb, and then his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The place that was not shot by the blue torrent was okay, and he was controlled by the bandits to support his body on the ground, but when his right arm was surrounded by a large number of ice crystals in the air, and then lightly hit the stone slab on the ground, There was a distorted sound directly, and then it broke.

The bandit watched helplessly as his right arm began to break from his hand, and was about to cry out in horror. But as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the right half of his body had been covered by a large amount of ice crystals. He wanted to breathe, but found that his body was gradually becoming numb. At this moment, he realized that he felt a cold feeling coming from the right half of his body. .

The bandit lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, but his body gradually lost control, and he just died.

Long Suos glanced at the two bandits, then counted the time in his mouth, turned his head, and looked at several bandits who were running towards the side door of the backyard, bypassing the burning supplies.

As Lonzos turned his head, the blue torrent of fire also crossed half of the backyard and swept directly towards the bandits.

"Climb down!" Seeing the miserable condition of his subordinates in front of him, the bandits who were stupefied by this sudden strange scene, the bandit leader hurriedly shouted for his subordinates to climb down.

He himself climbed down the first time, but from the moment his subordinates heard his words, to the moment they realized it, and then took action, there was no time.

The dark blue torrent shot back and forth, left and right, twice at the running bandit, and then went out directly.

Long Susi breathed a sigh of relief, still holding the crown with his hands, without turning his head, he said to his militiamen: "Wait a minute, the bandits are dead, wait until I put out these flames."

The militiamen were all holding bows and crossbows, staring blankly at the gemstone crown that Longsous had been wearing on his head, wondering what they were thinking.

On the other side, when the mercenaries saw a young man suddenly release magic, they all shrank behind their shields in fright. After hearing what the bandit leader said about climbing down, they lay down on the cold ground in fright, and covered their heads with the wooden shields in their hands.

Several bandits who were running were shot left and right by the blue torrent, they ran a few more steps, and then suddenly fell to the ground.

After the bandits fell, their entire bodies were broken into two pieces from the waist. After the lower body fell to the ground, they were still twitching their legs and feet, but their legs and feet could only jump on the ground after the fall. And the upper body of the bandits fell to the ground. They opened their mouths in horror, but they couldn't say anything, because their lungs had been frozen, and there was no air flow through their throats, so their mouths were shaking. Not a sound.

Where the bandit's body was broken into two pieces, only a lot of internal organs and intestines were left that were frozen into pieces. Even the spine was frozen hard, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

The bandit leader opened his eyes wide, watching his subordinates struggle to flap their arms, and gradually became immobile. He couldn't turn his head around, was he dreaming of everything in front of him, was he still sleeping in the occupied residents' house, this nightmare-like thing was so unreal, it must only be in dreams.

Yes! He must be dreaming. Close your eyes tightly and hit your head on the ground, maybe you can wake up.

Boom boom boom.

But no matter how much he hit the ground with his forehead, he couldn't let it go.

-

Long Susi looked at the flames that were still burning more and more vigorously, and stopped his men from fetching water to put out the fire.

"Don't move, stand behind me. The fire will go out immediately." Lonzos said so. When the militiamen saw the magical blue light just now, they shot left and right a few times, causing the bandits to shatter into several pieces. Now that His Excellency Ronzos said so, they believed it.

Long Suos took a few steps, adjusted a suitable position, and then still lightly rested the metal crown with both hands, and softly read a magic password: "Air-conditioned ice field."

Immediately after the square sapphire in the center of Longsos's forehead received the command, a more powerful blue magic power bloomed, and after a while, a tyrannical magic power was projected from the center of the gemstone, quickly in front of Longsos' eyes. Using magic power to condense an ice blue fist-sized magic ball.

This magic ball does not rotate, and the inside seems to be a solid structure condensed with ice cubes. Long Suos knew that it was just an illusion. The so-called solid structure of ice cubes was actually a magical structure that was being rapidly constructed according to the mage who sold it.

He concentrated, followed the instructions he had read, and extended his spirit through the crown to the magic ball.

Because it was a magic tool bound to him, he did this very easily. Immediately afterwards, Lonzos controlled the magic ball, facing him, and the burning materials in the middle of the backyard released a low-temperature air mass that was said to be as cold as the air on the ice field in the polar night of the extreme north.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The low-temperature air mass simulated by magic is even visible to the naked eye. A large amount of water vapor in the air was condensed into ice crystals by the low temperature, and then fell to the ground one after another.

As soon as the huge low-temperature air mass covered the burning materials, it first contended with the flames and high temperature, and then completely overwhelmed all the burning flames.

Not even if the flames had grease and burnt wooden boxes and oiled ropes to provide fuel.

-

The militiamen saw that the blue ball in front of Lonzos released a ball of air-conditioning that continuously fell fine snowflakes, and then covered the supplies. In just a moment, they were probably difficult to get rid of because of the grease in it. The extinguished flames were all quickly extinguished.

"OFF! OFF!"

"It's amazing. Your Excellency Longzos is the magician in the legend?"

"I heard that magicians live in tall towers built of stones."

"Those bandits, if it weren't for Lord Longsos, they might have succeeded. They are really cunning."

"I don't know how much material can be preserved. Will Knight Crowe be furious?"

Long Suos couldn't help worrying when he heard the whispers of the militiamen behind him. The materials were extinguished by him with the power of the magic gemstone crown, and it is estimated that a lot of them should be preserved, but I don’t know if Knight Crowe will have any opinion of him when he hears about it.

The cold air mass was quickly retracted into the magic ball, and then turned into cold magic power and returned to the square sapphire.

Gradually, the magic ripples on the surface of the gem disappeared, and the cold feeling no longer came from his forehead. Long Suss put down his hands that were holding the crown. He turned around and ordered his militiamen to avoid the still cold supplies, first called the hiding mercenaries, and then looked at the situation of the bandits.

After a while, his men came over with a living bandit under his hands.

The bandit's eyes were dull, and something happened to his forehead, and he hit something hard and bled.

"Captain, among those bandits, only this bandit is still alive. Most of the other bandits were partially frozen and shattered, and all of them died." The militia that suppressed the bandits reported.

Nodding, Lonzos had some predictions about the power of his crown. When he bought the crown a few years ago, he used livestock to test the power of magic. He knew that life without magic protection was basically facing this kind of freezing. , there is no possibility of survival.

After thinking for a while, Longsos began to tell his subordinates: "Press him here first. You send a few people to call the person in charge of the hotel first, as well as the captain of the hotel guard and his men in the lobby. Of course, before The male waiter who was identified was also brought here. At the same time, the main officials of Bingxun Pass were notified to strengthen the defense force of the pass tonight."

After a pause, he looked at the mercenaries who were sitting on the side pointing out the frozen supplies and said: "Those mercenaries have done a lot today, if they hadn't held off a large number of bandits in the first place, it is estimated that these When I arrived, all the supplies were burned. They and the merchants who hired them must be rewarded, and all the merchants who came here to discuss sending people were called. It seems that their power is also very important."

"Yes, sir. I will inform the captain of the hotel guard."

"Your Excellency, I will inform the officer in charge of Bingxun Pass."

"Your Excellency, I will inform the merchants who are the employers of the mercenaries."

"Your Excellency, I will inform other merchants."

Facing the last subordinate who notified the other merchants, Lonzos took out a piece of paper from the pouch around his waist, crossed out the name of the merchant who hired the mercenary with a delicate charcoal pen, and handed the paper to this Militiaman: "Here is the list. Find a hotel manager. They are familiar with where the merchants live in this hotel. The merchants who have residences in Bingxun Pass must also know, so you can ask him."

"yes."

Looking at these militiamen, Lonzos waved his hand: "Go, appease everyone who asks about this, and tell them that all the bandits have been killed~www.readwn.com~ Supplies, um, although supplies There were losses, but not much, just some food was burned."

When the militiamen who received the order set off, Long Suos called two militiamen to follow him. After checking that the temperature around the supplies had returned to normal, he immediately led people closer to the burnt supplies.

He murmured: "Don't burn the crossbow bolts, don't burn the crossbow bolts." Although he looked calm, in fact, he was about to blame himself many times in his heart.

At the moment when the materials were ready and the front line was about to be transferred, any unusual things should be treated with caution by him. If he had arranged half of the militiamen here before dusk, relying on his highly skilled melee militiamen and those few mercenaries with excellent combat skills, it would be impossible to set the intruding bandits on fire. supplies.

It was all because he was too careless, and he took it for granted that he was safe in the Ice Flood Pass.

But I heard from the merchants and the people who led the militiamen to find the bandit's lair that the pocket hole bandit gang was very bold, and they were not afraid of the local soldiers at the checkpoint. The people of their devil's lair, these bandits dared to send people over, and directly intercepted and killed the surviving people in the hotel in the checkpoint.

Fortunately, Lonzos checked the situation of various materials and found that only half of the most important crossbow arrows were burned, and other types of materials were only burned from the upper layer of each box.

Relieved, Long Suos looked towards the direction of the bandit's lair and narrowed his eyes. Thanks to his timely use of the magic gem crown that only nobles can buy, he saved important supplies.

For the first time, those bandits, Lonzos felt that those guys were very annoying.
