Mercenaries and Adventurers

The militiamen cursed the cowardice of the bandit leader, interspersed with two complaints that Kiel was also crazy. They surrounded the rest of the bandits, unable to move easily, and destroyed the V-shaped encirclement formation, but they really wanted to watch the final confrontation between Kiel and the bandit leader.

So after Kiel and Delang went around to the left and right sides of the corpse pit, they immediately raised their bows and crossbows, approaching and aiming at the bandits who were about to be caught without a fight.

Seeing those militiamen approaching with their crossbows tightly held, the bandits were afraid that any militiaman would shake their hands and fire their crossbow arrows, and then the others would follow suit. So these bandits begged for mercy to the militiamen who walked in in a low voice, expressing that they had no intention of resisting.

"Shut up and lie on the ground!"

"Lie down on the ground, don't move!"

Half of the militiamen stopped moving when they were three meters away from the bandits. They just aimed one-on-one at the bandits lying on the ground. The other half put down their crossbows, drew their melee weapons, and carefully approached the bandits who were climbing down. , and then pulled out the animal skin belt around the bandit's waist, and tied the bandit's arms tightly several times. By the way, he took off all the self-defense weapons carried by the bandit and hung them on his waist.

As for the women and children of the bandits, they sent two militiamen to guard them, and sent another person to go back to drive all the people who had fallen before.

Afterwards, they approached the edge of the corpse pit carefully. After feeling an uncomfortable feeling different from the low temperature and coldness from the pavement, they saw the final battle between Kiel and the bandit leader.

--

The beheaded Delang went first, so he reached the end of the corpse pit first. And Keir quickly walked to the opposite end of the corpse pit.

An indescribable sense of discomfort rushed over his face, even Kiel felt it with his sturdy visor that could prevent attacks.

"What is this? This uncomfortable feeling." Kiel's eyesight was very good. He saw the bandit who had a bad face on the opposite side. Now that he was approaching the edge of the corpse pit, his face became even worse.

bang bang!

Kiel tapped the shield with his long sword to show the opponent that he was ready.

On the opposite side, De Lang's face turned pale, he came back to his senses, and looked at the young man opposite him who was wearing thick armor all over his body. He didn't say a word, but held the double-edged ax high in his right hand.

It seemed that both of them were ready to fight, and the crows watching on the surrounding trees did not know who started it, and they all started from less to more.

Keir shook his head and looked at the crows singing in unison around him, a feeling came from the bottom of his heart.

Some beings in this mountain forest are watching their duel through these ominous birds.

The strength of the two sides in this duel is not fair. After the previous fight, the bandit Delang on the opposite side was slightly exhausted, and his left forearm was seriously injured, and he lost a lot of blood. Moreover, he led his men to trek all the way from the bandit's lair before, only ate a small amount of food, and never rested.

On the other hand, Kiel is full of physical strength, and the **** of agriculture in his body is full of divine power. The previous trek and ambush battle are just a little mentally exhausting for him. At this time, he had already swallowed a red-eyed mushroom sugar pill. It was the time when the mushroom contained in a sugar pill had the strongest medicinal effect, and everything around him seemed to slow down slightly, and his thinking was active.

At this moment, the crows chirped in unison, loudly announcing the start of the final battle.

Kiel and Delang on the opposite side jumped off the corpse pit together.

De Lang chopped the ax down in the air, and as he fell, a dead body gathered at the edge of the corpse pit on his side was split in two.

The corpses have long since died, and there is no normal biological activity in their bodies, so in this icy winter, their bodies are frozen solid.

But even the solid body of the dead body was split from head to toe by De Lang's heavy double-edged axe.

Boom!

The blade of Delang's ax and half-bent legs landed on the ground. Under the thick snow at the bottom of the corpse pit, there were layers of human corpses discarded here.

De Lang's fall made those corpses, which had never lived in peace before and after death, tremble and move even more.

It's just that the corpse is pressing on the corpse, the dead corpses below are firmly pressed down and cannot move, while the dead corpses on the upper layer are waving all the limbs they can move indiscriminately.

Seeing the trembling under the snow at his feet, De Lang's face was ugly. With his left arm supporting his right hand, he raised and lowered the axe, raised and lowered it, and slammed it around a few times. Finally, the ground stopped moving.

And Keel here.

When he fell, he separated his feet directly and stepped on the shoulders of a staggering dead body in the air.

The frail and shambling dead body couldn't sustain the powerful impact of Kiel's jump from the edge of the corpse pit. His shoulders shattered and he was trampled to the ground by Kiel.

Kiel kept his balance and didn't fall down. After he landed, he lowered his head to look at it, then raised his foot and landed. The hard cowhide boots studded with iron armor directly trampled on the dead body that was swinging its head and trying to bite Kiel's ankle. head.

click.

There was no splashed brain in the shattered skull, only dry flat blackened unknown tissue, and a faint black smoke of the skull.

Kiel swiped the fuzzy-looking black smoke skull with his long sword, and the black smoke skull was scattered in two strokes, and the black smoke adhered to the long sword.

Keir frowned, pushed away a staggering approaching corpse with his shield, and then looked at the blade of his long sword.

Originally, the countless concave shallow pits on the sword body were full of crimson blood stains. Now, after being attached to the scattered black smoke, those crimson blood stains seemed to have turned much darker.

Kiel clamped the hilt of the sword on his left hand, then rubbed the shallow groove with his right glove, and found that it seemed a little indelible.

It felt a little bad, but Keir didn't have the time to worry about it. He cut a dead body close to him with his long sword and was pushed away by his shield, cut off its neck, and then cleverly kicked the dead body's head away with his legs.

The target happened to be the bandit leader Delang opposite the bottom of the corpse pit.

Delang has been keeping an eye on Kiel's side, seeing that Kiel kicked a dead body's head over, he waved annoyedly, his strong arm would definitely be able to slap a head that doesn't have much strength.

But De Lang didn't see it clearly. The dead body with only one head was flying in the air and was still opening and closing its mouth. The rotten and frozen mouth was terrible. The teeth inside were white and strong, but a few were missing. indivual.

After Delang swung his arm, the pain from it made him notice that the dirty thing happened to bite his left arm. He waved his hand, unable to shake it off at all.

After being bitten, a feeling different from blood loss came from his arm, like a piece of ice inserted into his flesh and blood, cold and numb.

He became ruthless, turned around and slammed the left arm of the bitten corpse's head against the edge of the corpse pit.

Sure enough, the corrupt and fragile head couldn't bear the force at all, and directly bent the root of the teeth in his mouth, unable to bite De Lang's arm.

Only then did De Lang swing his arm and shake off the dead body's head.

Kicking violently angrily, Delang no longer competed with the corpses slowly gathering around him. He swung his axe, knocked down the corpses that were approaching, and strode directly towards Kiel.

Kiel withdrew the tip of the long sword from the face of a dead body, and the trembling dead body immediately fell stiffly to the ground.

He saw that there were more black things attached to the long sword, but now was not the time to think about it. Kiel glanced ahead, then moved, and hit a dead body approaching with a shield, and the dead body hit Germany. Lang.

De Lang turned his waist, and then took the ax to chop horizontally, cutting off the dead body that Kiel had bumped into.

Ignoring the still moving corpse, he turned the ax again and swept towards the shielded Kiel.

Kiel stared at the approaching axe, not intending to fight any further. He stepped back obliquely, pushing a dead body approaching towards De Lang's double-edged axe.

Boom.

Still smashing the dead body with one blow.

But when Kiel took advantage of Delang's ax slowing down, the long sword caught up and slashed at the junction of the double-edged axe's ax face and the handle. He had taken the risk to slash here several times before, and this time he was slashed again by Kiel.

De Lang cursed, he saw Kiel's plan, and knew that the other party wanted to destroy his weapon. So at this moment, he changed the offensive of opening and closing, but held the middle of the handle of the ax with his right hand, and swung the ax slightly.

Don't look at him just swinging the ax slightly, because this double-edged ax is quite heavy, so the force on the ax blade is not small, it will hurt you if you hit it, and you will die if you touch it.

Kiel nimbly opened the distance from Delang, and kept moving behind the inflexible dead body, and moved towards Delang against the dead body.

Sometimes there will be a feeling of being caught suddenly in the footsteps. After a little panic, Kiel calms down, lifts his feet a little, and then falls heavily, trampling off the limbs of an unknown dead body. If he was still holding on to his ankles, he would use the long sword to cut down against the legs and feet, cutting off the limbs of the dead bodies under the snow.

De Lang was very agitated to deal with the dead body pushed by Kiel. He threw away the dead body with a shoulder that had been cut off, and directly slammed into Kiel with an axe.

Kiel boldly saw that Delang was exhausted and could not change his movements. He squatted down directly to pass Delang's pounce, and then he stood up suddenly, the shield rose against Delang's chest, and the long sword in his right hand kept slashing at Delang's chest.

It's just that the long sword didn't do any good, and sparks burst out from the cut. Only then did he realize that this opponent was not an ordinary bandit. He was wearing a strange armor with thick iron rings on his body.

The long sword slashed on the iron ring, leaving a series of cut marks, and the friction pulled out flying sparks.

The back was hit hard, and Keel didn't need to look to know that it was the other party who smashed the ax on his back. But fortunately, his armor helped him withstand most of the blows, and because of the suddenness, De Lang couldn't gather enough strength.

Kiel flipped the shield to the left, knocking Delang to the ground, and then suddenly hit the ax thrown by Delang with the shield.

Seeing the other party collapsed to the ground, Kil wanted to pounce on him and hit the vital point with his sword. But Delang swung the ax frantically, preventing Kiel from approaching.

Kiel immediately shifted his target, retreated a little, and cut off one of De Lang's ankles with a sword.

"Ah!" A foot fell to the ground. Although Delang didn't feel the pain, he still yelled unwillingly.

"You are defeated, die!" Kiel turned around and cut off the neck of a nearby dead body with a sword, then deliberately grabbed the head that was still moving and biting, and directly stuffed the wide open mouth of the dead head at Delang's broken foot .

Once the dead body's head was bitten, it didn't let go. Miraculously, the blood that flowed from Delang's broken foot entered the mouth of the dead body's head, but did not flow out from the broken neck, and no one knew where it went.

De Lang raised his foot and swung his axe, smashing the head into pieces.

Keir pushed up two more dead bodies and turned them over on De Lang.

Delang cursed, while Kiel saw the opportunity, and suddenly approached and held the ax with a shield. The long sword in his right hand was turned upside down and stuck on the ground. weapon.

But the man in desperate situation was very strong, and Kiel couldn't grab Delang with all his strength, so he had to draw his long sword again, and saw the opportunity when Delang swept away the dead body that bit him, and chopped off Delang several times in a row. Ron's double-bladed ax handle.

The heavy double-edged ax fell to the ground and sank into the messy snow. De Lang, who only had a hardwood stick left in his hand, seemed to lose all his strength in an instant.

Unwillingly, he mechanically beat the head of the dead body that was biting him with a wooden stick, while staring at the victorious Kiel with hatred.

Not a word.

And Kiel continued to push the approaching dead bodies calmly, and pushed these things to De Lang who fell to the ground.

After those dead bodies were pushed down, they no longer stood up, but crawled close to the fallen humans, and once bit the human body, they would not let go.

Kiel even took the upper body of the corpse that had been cut into two by Delang before, and dragged the corpse's stiff arms to Delang's side.

In a short while, Delang's body was covered with dead and moving corpses. They bit Delang's body, absorbing the vitality of human beings while infecting the dying human bandits with all their negative energy.

Seeing that Delang was still, Kiel stopped moving the dead bodies over, turned around and began to clean up the dead bodies that stood up one by one around him.

-

Seeing Kiel's victory, the militiamen above the corpse pit roared excitedly. While the bandits who were **** on one side realized that their ferocious and brave leader had failed and was killed, the bandits fell silent and stopped speaking.

Seeing that Kiel was trying to kill the dead bodies that wanted to attack him, the mountain leopard militia leader above shouted to Kiel: "Kiel, leave them alone! Come up first! Then we will set a fire and burn them up. Already!"

Keel thought so, anyway, these dead bodies can't escape, it's better to get a lot of firewood and kerosene into the pit, and then burn it with a fire.

Kiel agreed, and approached Delang's body carefully, then pushed aside the blocking dead body, and cut off Delang's head with a sword. Afterwards, the militiamen above hung down a spear, and Kiel reached out and grabbed the joint of the spear tip, and the militiamen above pulled him up with all their strength.

When Kiel came up, he turned to look at the dead bandit leader, thinking that he hadn't picked up the metal ring half body armor and double-edged ax on the other side.

However, thinking of coming here later, he temporarily pressed the plan. After a while, it would not be too late for him to pick up the spoils after the place was burned down. Anyway, those dead bodies would not need metal weapons and armor.

Now the main thing is to clean up the battlefield where the ambush was before, and then **** the women and children who surrendered to the bandits and bandits back to see how Knight Crowe will deal with them.

Just as Keel and the others returned, a large group of crows on the trees around the corpse pit flew up together, flapping their wings and flying away without making a sound.

It's as if someone finished watching a TV show and couldn't wait to change the channel.

-

After spending the night on the road, at noon the next day, Kiel, several of his militiamen and the mountain leopard team escorted the bandits and their relatives back to the militia camp.

In the camp, Keel smelled a lot of soot smoke, burnt and smoked smell as soon as he smelled it. After asking someone, I found out that last night, Knight Crowe had arranged for someone to enter the bandit's lair where the fire was no longer smoked.

There is no longer a living person inside.

Everywhere were the bodies of bandits and others who had been suffocated to death.

There are men, women and children. Some militiamen are not very happy about this, but Knight Crowe doesn't care about it.

He also went in, and found many dead bodies hiding in the depths of the cave.

As he expected, many bandits did not understand any cultural knowledge. I don't know that when there is no air intake channel inside the cave, and there are only burning objects, the air needed for human survival will be consumed part of the gas needed for life.

The bandits and others who were not hiding deep were choked to death by the thick smoke. The subordinates led by the two bandit leaders hiding in the depths of the cave all died of suffocation without oxygen.

After the flames were extinguished that afternoon, it was not until evening that Knight Crow led some melee militiamen into the bandit's lair and brought out the corpses that had been dead for a long time.

Adult men chopped off their heads as proof of the achievements of all the militiamen, while the bodies of other women and children were all burned.

The few militiamen responsible for burning the corpses were too busy, and the knights asked two more spear militia teams to help them work. When Kiel came back, the smoke from the burning corpses behind the camp continued.

"You guys are back, how's the result?" Knight Crowe stood in the middle of the camp, commanding various militia teams. Beside him stood a young man in a fine attire.

With just one glance, Keir can guess the opponent's identity from the gemstone crown on the opponent's head - the eldest son of Baron Kendall~www.readwn.com~ Keir and the captain of the Mountain Leopard team hurriedly told their results, Then the bandits who surrendered and the relatives of the bandits who came along came out.

For the captured bandits, Knight Crowe waved his hand, and after recording the battle exploits, he asked people to put these guys into a big wooden cage. As for the other women and children, Knight Crowe had a hard time.

Long Suos, who was standing with the knight, whispered an idea: "Perhaps we can send someone to **** them to the Bingxun Pass first. After all, the militiamen still have missions, so it is not good to take those women, especially the militiamen It's a young lad."

"That's right, I'll do as you said." Then, Knight Crowe asked some of the injured militiamen to **** these people back to Ice Flood Pass. They also returned with the heads of the bandits and various valuables found in the bandit's lair. .

Kiel took the opportunity to tell the knight about the corpse pit, and the knight said that this needs to be solved by the priest of the God of the Dead in the Ice Flood Pass, and it cannot be simply burned.

Especially in these corpse pits where many corpses have been piled up, there are unknown evil things conceived underneath.

However, the Church of the God of the Dead is very capable of this, as long as they send someone to invite them later, they will not leave a corpse pit of this size near Bingxun Pass for a long time.

Kiel saw that other people would intervene in the handling of the corpse pit, and immediately mentioned that the weapon and armor worn by the bandit leader were his spoils of war.

"Haha! You're so bold, you dared to fight that bandit leader at the bottom of the corpse pit in a flash of your brain. It's really reckless." Knight Crowe shook his head with a smile, criticizing Keir's recklessness.

On the other hand, Lonzos looked at this so-called warrior who was a little famous in Kendall City, frowning and didn't like this reckless warrior very much.
