Mercenaries and Adventurers

Keir led the vanguard-like melee militiamen and walked in front of the brigade for half a day. After walking for a total of two days, they came to the entrance and exit outside the forest where the bandits spent the winter.

In the past two days, the militiamen who came forward captured and killed many scattered bandits. After asking them to live, they found out that Knight Lanisa, who was guarding the corpses of the monsters, had defeated many tempting bandits these days.

Knowing that this female knight is not a bandit that ordinary people can fight against, the clever ones have already started to evacuate from the forest.

They guessed right. When Kiel blocked the entrance and exit of the forest with a large number of militiamen, the bandits who were still in the forest would face dozens of times more attacks from their militiamen.

The gap in and out of the forest is nearly one kilometer wide, and it seems to be very spacious, but when Kiel followed the command of Knight Crowe and ordered two groups of militiamen to guard the hillsides on both sides of the gap, and the team they came out of The main body is stationed in the very center of the gap, and the entire gap is covered by them in sight.

After asking the militiamen to guard the gap and not letting go of any bandits who wanted to go out, Kiel took a few militiamen and dragged the sled to the Warcraft with supplies first.

The place is easy to find, even if Keir forgot how to get out, he can still find the knights and hunters by relying on the very eye-catching soot floating in the sky in the forest.

"Stop, who are you? If you dare to move forward, you will attack!"

After approaching the smoke column, Keel and the others were stopped by a person behind the tree in front of them.

Hearing the familiar voice, Kiel guessed it was the voice of a young hunter among the hunters. He immediately said his name: "It's me, Kiel! I came here with the support of the militia."

After speaking, he took off the cloak hat on his head, revealing his very recognizable helmet.

It is estimated that they saw Kiel’s helmet. After confirming that it was indeed Kiel, two young hunters who were ready to fight flashed out behind the tree trunk in front: “It is indeed Kiel’s helmet. Hey, you are finally here. Kiel , why did it take you so long to come here, the bandits in the forest will come to investigate day and night these days, we can hardly bear it. Also, you won’t just recruit people like this?”

Lifting his visor, Keir waved his hand to let the militiamen behind him drag the sledge loaded with supplies forward, and then explained to the hunters who approached: "You know, the lair of the Pocket Hole bandit is on the mountain, and There is also a cave, which is very difficult to deal with. Especially when there are many of them."

"The militiamen have no losses, right?" A hunter asked. He looked curiously at the militiamen following Kiel, and found that the militiamen were neatly dressed and their weapons and equipment were in good condition, especially the crossbow bags around their waists. It is full.

"Is there any loss, if you don't believe me, you can ask everyone. Guys, how is the level of those bandits?" Kiel turned his head to ask the militiamen behind him while pulling the sled easily.

The militiamen yelled and said something that sounded powerful, but in the end they fought with hands and feet. Some militiamen boasted that they had killed several bandits and said such big things.

Whether it is bragging or not, at least the aura of contempt for bandits cannot be faked.

"By the way, don't look at me with only a few people. In fact, there are many people behind. I will bring some supplies first, and quickly support you. I have already followed the instructions of Knight Crowe and brought a group of militiamen to take the lead. The entrances and exits of the forest were blocked. Now, unless the bandits in this forest dare to venture over the mountains, they will be wiped out by us in batches."

"Really. These bandits are really annoying recently. They kept coming over to inquire, so that everyone couldn't take a good rest for many days, especially Knight Lanisa, who can only take a short nap during the day recently, and can't take a good rest at all. A hunter picked up a lump of snow from the ground, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed.

Soon, under the leadership of the two hunters, they came to the clearing where the monster was killed.

A few days later, the damage caused by the magical beast that day was still on the ground. Not only that, but the huge corpse of the magical beast scared the militiamen who followed Kiel enough.

Knight Lanisa was wearing armor and sitting on the top of the monster's corpse. When she saw Kiel and the others, she jumped down, took off her helmet, and blew a loud whistle.

Keel guessed that the knight was calling back all the hunters who were on alert.

Sure enough, he did not guess. When Kiel and the militiamen approached with a sled carrying supplies, all the hunters scattered around returned here.

"Keir! If you can bring someone over, does that mean that the brigade of militiamen has come?" Knight Lanisa with a tired face asked impatiently as soon as Kiel approached.

"Yes, my lord. I led some militiamen to block the exit of the forest first. The militiamen in the brigade were led by Knight Crow, and they were half a day behind. After calculation, they should have all reached the exit of the forest by now," Keel replied. road.

After speaking, he opened the supplies he brought, which contained some nutritious and filling bacon and a large portion of bread in a bag. The materials carried by other militiamen are also different. There are also warm tents and tableware for eating. Of course, important hemostatic materials are also carried, just to prevent the hunters from being injured in the past few days.

It was getting dark, and the hunters happily took out the food, and then quickly roasted it. The dry and hard bread was also toasted and eaten directly. Even Lanisa's war horse shared several pieces of bread, and finally did not need it to work hard to turn over the thick snow, and then ate the fallen leaves and dead grass under the snow.

When everyone was eating together, Keel pointed to the big fire that was still lit not far away, and he could vaguely see that it was the place where they burned the robber's body. But why should it be extinct these days?

Regarding Kiel's question, an old hunter answered him: "The previous battle has disturbed the bandits in the entire forest. Those bandit gangs who didn't come over at that time have been sending people to investigate these days. After being killed by us , the body happened to be still burning there."

It turned out that it was so, no wonder they wanted to raise such an eye-catching smoke column. He thought it was to guide the militiamen who came over, but it turned out that it was to deal with the bandits who were killed here recently.

That night, the security work was done by Kiel and a few militiamen. Although Knight Lanisa wanted to persist for another day, after Kiel's persuasion, he just had to rest by the fire with his eyes closed. It is necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

As for the other eight hunters who were ordinary people, they could finally have a good night's rest in the camp.

The militiamen naturally had to climb up the tall monster corpse when they were sentry. At first, the militiamen were still nervous, but no matter how they beat the carapace of the monster corpse under their feet, the huge monster stopped moving, and they felt relieved.

Although he was still very excited, his eyes widened.

Keir told Knight Lanisa in detail about the militia clearing up the bandits in the pocket hole a few days ago.

"Really. It's all suffocated. Well, it's none of my business anyway. Keel, you did a good job, not only dealing with bandits, I'm talking about monsters, do you have any rewards you want? ? You should have a good reward." Knight Lanisa said to Kiel.

She planned to give a reward to Kiel for his excellent performance in the face of Warcraft. Of course, other hunters also have rewards. These rewards are more than one, she made the reward herself, and then the lord of Kendall County, Baron Kendall will also send them a reward.

Kiel scratched his head, smiled, and said straightforwardly what he wanted: "Master Knight, if you really want to reward me, then I want the three horses you captured from the bandits earlier."

"I used to walk only on my feet, and I always wanted a horse to travel instead. It's just that there seem to be few horses in Kendall County, so I haven't been able to do so." He explained.

Smiling, Knight Lanisa asked Kiel a question: "Three horses, if you are rewarded, where do you plan to raise them? You seem to live in the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, there is a place for you to squeeze in Are there three horses in?"

It's okay if you don't say no, it's just that the knight's question stopped Kiel immediately. That's right, it's not good for him to foster the horses in the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, after all, he is living in other chambers of commerce for free now.

"Then what should we do? You should have a solution, right?" Kiel asked with a smile.

Knight Lanisa was a little tired, so she stopped joking with Kiel and said directly: "The hunter team has real estate in Kendall City and the ferry to the north, where horses can be raised. However, if you join my team, you have to start from Do you understand that the chamber of commerce moved away? I will provide you with a temporary residence until you have your own house. Based on your ability, it may not be very difficult."

In fact, Kiel now has enough property to buy a small wooden house in a slum area, but compared to a private house property, he pays more attention to the weapons and equipment used in his battle adventures.

After all, a house can't help him deal with monsters, can it?

After thinking about it, Keir agreed to Knight Lanisa's request, and everything went smoothly, and the three horses belonged to him, and he returned to Kendall City.

At noon the next day, the militiamen of the brigade arrived here under the leadership of Knight Crowe.

The militiamen yelled, it was the first time they saw a monster that was much bigger than the house, and many militiamen were really frightened. The militiamen, who were originally complacent after exterminating the bandits, saw that such a big guy could be defeated by Knight Lanisa and his hunters, they finally put away their little pride, and looked at the knight and the knight with admiration. The hunters, and of course Keel himself.

As soon as the two knights met, Knight Crowe praised Knight Lanisa for growing up, not losing to his father, but suddenly made Knight Lanisa, who had always looked very resolute, cry.

But soon, the female knight, who only shed a few tears, put on her helmet and lowered her visor to prevent people from seeing her weak side.

The embarrassed Knight Crowe had no choice but to pat Knight Lanisa's armor and change the subject.

"This guy looks really powerful! I haven't encountered a monster of this size and ability for many years." Knight Crowe didn't point to the corpse of the monster, but pointed to the surrounding terrain that was previously hit by the magic attack of the monster.

"I almost died at the time. Fortunately, I jumped up and didn't resist." Knight Lanisa's voice was muffled, and she told Knight Crowe about the situation she faced at that time.

"Go, go up and have a look." After finishing speaking, Knight Crowe jumped up curiously, and Knight Lanisa also jumped up and jumped onto the corpse of the monster.

Faintly, Kiel could hear the two knights talking about the relationship between the human heads where the eyes of the monster should be and the magic of the monster. After that, they entered the body of the monster from the abdominal wound that Kiel had opened before.

Although there is an important location of the core of the monster at a glance, the various intestines and stomachs in the abdomen are filled with human remains, and it is not a place where normal people can live.

After the two knights came out, they quickly summoned the important figures in the militia team and discussed the establishment of a camp at the location of the monster's corpse and the action of the militia to clear all the bandits in the forest.

Keir is naturally also in it.

But these things after that are no longer important, because Knight Lanisa and her men have completed the task, and after many days of fighting and perseverance, they should go back and have a good rest. Kiel belongs to the hunter of Knight Lanisa The subordinates of the team naturally also returned, and no longer participated in the militia's subsequent clearance battle and the decomposition and transportation of the corpses of the monsters.

---

A few days later, Lanisa Knight and her party passed through the bandit lair in the bag hole in the south, returned to Bingyu Pass, and then returned to Kendall City for another day.

Knight Lanisa was exhausted. After returning to the city, she told her subordinates that they could take a break for a while, and then she would send someone to notify them to assemble.

The hunters who lived in Kendall City or had residences in Kendall City dispersed as soon as they returned to the city, while Kiel temporarily took a horse from Knight Lanisa, and then immediately left the city again.

What else to do, of course, is to buy a small truck pulled by horses, and immediately return to the bandit's winter forest, and go there to carry back all the various materials he has recently buried.

Of course, he estimated that the militiamen had cleaned up all the bandits in the forest at this time, and the manpower was probably handling and transporting the huge monster corpses. Everything that was seized was brought back.

After Keir drove the carriage from Kendall City, he came directly to Bingxun Pass. He rented a safe hotel room here, and then bought some metal ingots that were in short supply and put them in the room.

Afterwards, he took food and rations for the horses, and drove the empty cart into the forest west of Bingxun Pass.

Keir didn't take the route where the militiamen came and went to patrol. He circled an arc and bypassed some places further north. After a few days of bumpy progress, he finally came to the forest where the bandits had been cleared. .

Kiel carefully found the place where the things were buried during the day, and carefully pulled the carriage to find it step by step at night, and loaded a large amount of spoils into the carriage.

After finishing it, he hid the carriage during the day and found the Crow Knight who was guarding the corpse of the monster by himself.

Although the knight was surprised by his arrival, he was not surprised. He heard Keel ask about the bandit leader's weapons and equipment he deserved when he fought the bandit leader before, and the reward for helping Knight Crowe deal with the bandit before.

"Hahahaha, you really are. I thought you came here to help me, but in the end you just came to ask for your things." Knight Crowe couldn't laugh or cry. After all, this place is very remote, and Kiel couldn't wait for him at all. The militiamen here have completed the task as a whole, so they come directly to ask for rewards.

Kiel rubbed his nose: "What you said before must not count. I don't have much money in my pocket, especially recently I want to build a full metal armor, and I have spent all the money in my hand."

"Full metal armor? That's okay. Although that thing is heavy, it can help you exercise your body's weight-bearing strength. Keel, if necessary, wear more armor for training. Remember that next spring, your physical fitness must reach My request is fine." Squeezing Kiel's arm, it was obvious that Knight Crowe was not very satisfied with Kiel's physical strength.

"But I don't think Knight Lanisa is that strong, she is already a knight."

"The method of becoming a knight is different. My method requires you to have the best physical fitness. By the way, you can go to the Church of the God of the Dead in Bingxun Pass to ask for it. I told those priests that after they dealt with the corpse pit, the contents inside were brought back to Bingxun Pass.” Speaking of which, Knight Crowe took a piece of paper in his tent and wrote something~www.readwn.com~ Then hand the paper to Keir.

"Take the letter to the Church of the God of the Dead at Bingyu Pass, and they will give you the things. However, the rewards converted for your achievements in battle will have to wait for all the militiamen to return to Kendall City before distributing them. Come find me when the time comes."

"Yes, my lord, I understand. Then I will take my leave." Keir took the letter, put it in his clothes, and bid farewell to the busy Crow Knight.

-

After Kiel walked out of this lively camp, he looked at the huge corpse of the monster being divided up, and took a chance to mix his carriage into the transport team returning to Bingxun Pass.

Because he was a familiar face among the militiamen, and he was under the command of Knight Crowe, the guarding militiamen didn't care that Kiel joined them in a carriage.

When a group of people arrived at the original lair of the bag hole, Keel left the team, first found the things buried here and brought them to the carriage, and then drove the carriage curiously to the corpse pit to see the dead What does the so-called processed corpse pit of the Church of God look like.

The results surprised Kiel.

The place where the original corpse pit was located has been replaced by an unconventional semicircular pit that goes deep into the ground. The scale of this pit is not only deep but also wide, which greatly exceeds the original corpse pit.

And there is also a group of militiamen and a priest of the Church of the God of the Dead.

Kiel's snooping made the shepherd very nervous, but the militiaman knew Kiel, and Kiel showed the letter written by Knight Crowe, and explained that he had killed a bandit leader here before. .

The shepherd finally let his guard down and explained to Kiel how they all dealt with this evil corpse pit.
