Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel was not far from the farmhouse wall where the thugs avoided the crossbow arrows, basically the distance from the gate to the door of the first farmhouse close to the gate.

The thugs didn't hear the sound of the deadly crossbow piercing the air, so they boldly stuck their heads out of the dirt wall to see how the situation was going.

As a result, they saw a blood-stained armored warrior striding towards them.

"Damn it!" The thug in the lead was taken aback. He didn't feel anything about this enemy when he was far away, but now when he faced this person head-on, he could feel the blazing killing intent coming from his head.

He yelled and planted the weapon upside down on the ground, then picked up a half-sized rock on the top of a dirt wall, and threw it fiercely at Kiel: "Die to me!"

But Kiel glanced at the size of the stone in the opponent's hand, then stood the shield obliquely in front of him, actively facing the path of the stone, and blocked the opponent obliquely.

Taking two quick steps, Keir came up to the four of them.

He kicked **** the side of a stone on the top of the earth wall, and then the kicked stone hit the leg of the head beater, who immediately hugged his thigh and groaned in pain.

But the remaining three thugs did not watch, and at the same time waved the weapons in their hands to greet Kiel.

But with a few tinkling sounds, Keir just stood still and shook slightly, and was not injured. His breathing didn't even come fast.

As soon as the long sword in his hand was unfolded sideways, the short knife in one person's hand was blown away, and the arms of the remaining two were scratched.

With just a simple blow, the long sword tore through the clothes and rough-made leather wristbands of the two men's arms, directly tearing out scars half the length of their palms.

Blood spurted from the wound, and the two yelled and held the wound tightly with their other hands. But then, Keir's next blow came.

The person closest to him was directly pierced by a long sword in the middle of his chest, and the leather jacket he was wearing had no protective effect at all.

Then Keir raised his left hand to block a fierce machete smash.

when!

Sparks flew from the shield, and the thug with the thick machete on the opposite side almost lost his weapon due to the shock force from the machete.

Kiel didn't care about this man, propped up the shield with his left hand, and pulled out the long sword in his right hand from the enemy's chest, then quickly swung it sideways, blocking the tricky blow of the trade guild guy who picked up the short knife again.

Knight Crowe, who was leading people slowly forward in the distance, squinted his eyes and watched Kiel's battle: "Five."

Kiel felt that the low earth wall between him and these enemies was very troublesome, which greatly restricted his movement, and it was not easy to bully the opponent's side to fight.

So after blocking the thick machete's slash with the front of the shield again, he turned forward and climbed over the half-person-high dirt wall, followed by another roll, widening the distance from the three people behind him.

Watching Keir climb over the blocking earth wall, the thug whose arm was scratched by the sword shouted nervously to the lead thug: "Quick retreat! We are not opponents!"

The thug with a thick machete in his hand glanced at the blunt edge of his machete and nodded: "Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"

But before the injured thug could feel happy, he himself was pushed in the back by the machete thug and the trade guild guy with the dagger.

He couldn't help but staggered towards Kiel who was getting up, his face full of panic and disbelief.

Keir frowned and watched the scene in front of him. Although he didn't like the behavior of these people, he accepted the head that was delivered to his door.

The shield in his left hand pressed against the opponent's arm and torso, while the long sword rubbed against the edge of the shield and cut the man's neck.

Keir didn't think it was enough. After the blade of the long sword cut through the opponent's neck like a hot knife cutting butter, he pulled the long sword backhand and cut off half of the guy's neck.

"sixth."

The two thugs who betrayed their own people and the guild clerk kept their bodies low to guard against the crossbow arrows in the distance, and they didn't dare to walk on the main road, instead they trotted towards the wooden door of the main house of the farmhouse.

"Go and call the door open!"

The thug, holding a thick machete in his hand, pushed the trade guild guy. Although the guy didn't want to, he glanced at the weapon in his hand, compared it with his own weapon, and went up.

Hiding himself behind the chicken coop in the front yard of the farm, the thug turned to see for himself the armored warrior slashing the neck of his fellow man, then got up and walked towards them.

He swallowed a mouthful of spit, and this time he tightly held the thick machete in his hands with both hands, ready to sacrifice the boy who wielded the short knife and cut down the elite who came to attack the enemy.

There are plenty of people in the chamber of commerce. Compared with losing a few people who follow him, the record after killing the opponent's elite and the subsequent rewards are more important to him.

"I'm sorry, let me take this credit alone!" The thug grinned, staring closely at the armored warrior who was striding forward.

-

Kiel wiped the long sword with the dead body's clothes, stood up and walked towards the wooden door of the farmer's house next to him.

Outside the solid wooden door of the farmer's house, a trade clerk holding a dagger was calling the door urgently, begging the farmer inside to let him in.

But no matter how much he yelled, begged, and cursed, the messy footsteps and the refusal tone on the other side of the door drove him to a dead end.

But Keel felt that something was wrong. This person is here, so where did the thug at the head of this group go?

He looked around, and the dark night covered many places, not to mention that some fruit trees and raspberry bushes were planted in the front yard of the farmer's house, and a well-made chicken coop stood beside the road in the middle of the yard.

Keel saw that the poultry raised in the chicken coop were sticking to the wooden fence at the door, with their heads sticking out and flapping their wings, but they did not dare to approach the back of the chicken coop.

Kiel stopped in his tracks and stared straight at the direction of the chicken coop. After thinking for a while, he struck the front of the shield with his long sword.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of metal percussion was like a prelude to an invitation to fight, but also like a cold warning.

Then, a tall man stood up angrily from behind the chicken coop. The man held a thick machete that was supposed to be two-handed.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're wearing iron armor! I'm 'Severed Head Bonnie'. Remember my name, and don't forget who killed you after you die!"

After uttering these arrogant words, the tall thug strode forward with a thick machete held high, and after a suitable distance, he slashed at Kiel head first.

Under the visor, Kiel raised the corners of his mouth. Although the red-eyed mushroom candy he swallowed hadn't taken effect yet, Kiel already felt his stomach was hot. Between delaying the time for the medicine to take effect and directly killing this person, Kiel chose to kill this arrogant guy without thinking about it.

Kiel's feet moved slightly, his eyes fixed on the opponent's body position and the length of the machete in his arm, he calculated the timing and retreated half a step, and swished to get out of the way of the heavy chop of the person in front of him.

With a thud, the thick machete slashed fiercely to the ground, but it failed to hit the enemy as expected by the thug or was barely blocked by the enemy with a shield.

On Kiel's side, he took a step back and used his metal-wrapped feet to directly step on the back of the machete that had been cut into the ground. The opponent wanted to pull the machete to attack again, but withdrew for a while and did not pull. When he was about to pull the second time, Kiel's long sword slashed down, directly cutting off the opponent's hands.

Bang, blood splattered little by little, the frightened poultry in the chicken coop screamed, and some brown poultry were dripped with blood.

The thug's hands remained on the handle of the machete on the ground, and he held it tightly, even without the control of his body and arms, he still did not let go.

But the thug, because he tried his strength when pulling back, his hands and wrists were broken at this time, and he fell backwards.

He raised his handsless arms in front of his eyes, screaming for some reason.

The arrogance he had just now was gone.

Kiel raised his long sword high, and slashed the man's head with a heavy blow, which was the end of him.

"the seventh."

The Klau knight in the distance barely saw another victory of Kiel under the cover of the earth wall.

He waved his hand, and the militia moved on. The five militiamen with the most crossbow arrows were arranged by him on the top of the sentry tower next to the gate, while the other militiamen were scattered on both sides of the road in groups of three or four, and advanced one by one under the cover of the walls of each house.

From a distance, shoot at the center of the village connected by the road to prevent the people on the opposite side from pressing over.

And the knight himself walked in the middle of the road with Shubi Rock riding his horse. However, this seemingly dangerous place is actually very safe, because the militiamen on both sides are covering it, and no one can rush here.

-

After killing the thug with the thick machete, Kiel strode towards the last of the group of people.

At this time, the trade union guy was terrified, and slammed his body against the wooden door of the farmer's house frantically, and slammed his shoulders with his shoulders.

If it is normal, if you do it like this, you will definitely break the door. But at this time, inside the wooden door, the family of the farmer was also trying their best to block the wooden door, absolutely not daring to let the employees of the Ska Chamber of Commerce outside enter their house.

Even if you usually want to curry favor with the other party, it is too late.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible. After letting this person in, will the armored man who killed the man behind him also come in and kill him? The whole family in the house can't just get involved in something that might kill the whole family in such an unclear manner.

"Don't come in, you run, we can't open the door. Go, go."

From the opposite side of the wooden door came the voice of a middle-aged farmer who was usually honest and would bow and kowtow when he saw anyone. The trade guild clerk sat down on the ground, looked at the armored warrior who walked in, and tremblingly took the short knife that had been broken several times in his hand.

"Don't come, don't come!"

His teeth chattered, and he even closed his eyes nervously.

Keir was a little speechless, begging for mercy had to look like he was begging for mercy, closed his eyes, and held the weapon in his hand, what does this mean?

Of course, if Keir thinks this way, it doesn't mean that he will really accept this person's surrender. Knight Crowe has said before that, except for the last stage of the battle in Dead Leaf Village tonight, the enemy who surrendered cannot be accepted in other stages of the battle.

It's not that I don't want to, it's simply not possible.

After all, including Kiel, Knight Crowe, and Mr. Huberock, there are no more than thirty-three people on their side.

And the resident staff of the Ska Chamber of Commerce here is at least fifty people, and counting the village staff who will be mobilized later, there will be at least one hundred enemies waiting for them to defeat.

There were simply no hands to contain the surrendered enemy.

It's not the same as being in Pine Needles. In Pine Needle Town, the manpower that Mr. Plant could muster gradually increased as they fought.

People from other chambers of commerce in the town will look at the battle situation of the two sides to provide assistance, and they will help whoever wins.

Then take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the loser.

But Dead Leaf Village is different. It is most of the night here, so there is no possibility of support.

The other party has more people, and Knight Crowe intends to defeat all the enemies in the village who dare to resist.

This caused Kiel to look at the begging look of the chamber of commerce guy in front of him, and didn't say much, but shouted loudly at the farmers behind the tightly closed wooden door: "Don't go out tonight, no matter what happens, don't worry about it!" Stay at home honestly. The consequences of coming out are like this!"

Kiel slashed to death the begging trade guild clerk with a sword, and blood spattered a large area around him. On the other side of the wooden door, he also guessed what Kiel had done, and immediately a timid child burst into tears.

But Keir still asked: "Do you remember? No matter what happens tonight, you are not allowed to come out!"

"My lord, my lord. We know. We know."

The trembling voice of the middle-aged farmer sounded.

Kilton paused, turned and left.

He searched for the weapons of the few dead people, and they were still on the side of the open dirt road in the village. These are trophies, and they can be taken away directly when returning later.

He came to Knight Crowe, and the knight nodded at Kiel: "Very good, there are already eight. But the militiamen have achieved a lot, you have to work hard."

Kiel looked towards the center of the village that was gradually brightly lit, and found that some members of the Ska Chamber of Commerce had been shot to the ground on the side of the road in the distance, and some people were already dead, lying on the ground without moving. Others were still holding their breath, moving their limbs and crawling to the side of the road even though they were bleeding.

"My lord, follow your orders."

Although there is some urgency in his heart, Kiel still feels that compared with tonight's battle, his test is still more important.

"Well, there is a small inn along the road ahead, and more than a dozen members of the Chamber of Commerce rushed into it just now. There are enemies with bows in it. Take down that inn and clear out the enemies inside. Can you do it? "

Knight Crowe pointed to an inn on the right front along the road. There were many chaotic voices coming from the inn on the second floor, and then a wooden window on the second floor of the inn was opened, and an archer stretched out half of his body and began to move towards them Shoot arrows.

"Be careful to avoid the enemy's arrows."

Knight Crowe told everyone, and then on the gate tower behind them, five militiamen shot a few arrows towards the second floor of the hostel with a good view from a high place, and immediately scared the archer back.

But soon, the opponent opened several other wooden windows on the same floor, did not light the oil lamp in the house, and shot directly at the militiamen outside.

Now the militiamen standing on the sentry tower can't see which house the enemy is shooting out from, so naturally they can't suppress it.

Fortunately, the enemy probably encountered such a situation for the first time. Obviously, he was very nervous. Although he kept changing rooms to shoot, he did not shoot the militiamen hiding in the courtyards of the houses on both sides of the road.

But this also blocked the possibility of the militia moving forward.

Keir saw the situation clearly, and immediately took the order to rush forward.

Target—The village hostel occupied by the enemy.

-

Kiel lowered his body slightly and used the earth wall beside the road in the village as a cover to cover himself moving forward.

But both sides were lighting up a lot of torches, and many people from both sides were staring at this warring street.

Seeing an armored warrior like Kiel advancing, someone from the Scar Chamber of Commerce immediately yelled loudly to give directions to the archers in the hotel.

Whizzing.

The two bows and arrows shot towards Kiel one after the other. One was a bit high, and it ran past Kiel's back, but the other hit Kiel's right arm.

However, Kiel only felt a shock in his arm, and the steel armor on the right arm made a loud impact.

The metal arrowhead was mounted on the outer side of the joint between the shoulder armor and the arm armor, which was the thickest part of the entire arm. Sparks flew everywhere, and the arrow was knocked flat and then rubbed against the shoulder armor and hit Kiel's neck armor.

"Uh." Keir was stunned for a moment, but he didn't feel anything other than the impact from the right side.

"Um?"

He froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that the arrow shooting that he had been worried about before seemed, maybe, not able to hurt him in the iron armor?

Thinking of this~www.readwn.com~ Kiel stood up straight, put the shield in front of the visor to cover the thinnest helmet visor on the whole body, and then walked towards the inn in a big way.

Immediately afterwards, the arrow shot by the archer on the second floor of the hotel came again.

Whoosh!

clang!

The arrow hit Kiel's helmet, and a cluster of sparks burst out.

The militiamen behind Kiel were taken aback, but then they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Kiel just tilted his neck, and then moved on.

"You **** brat!" Knight Crowe cursed angrily, and then arranged for five people to retreat to the field outside the village, preparing to ambush the enemies who might come to surround them from outside the village.

Keel shook his head and smiled triumphantly.

The iron armor that cost a lot of money and a lot of effort did not disappoint him.

The ordinary bows and arrows that he was worried about when he was wearing hard leather armor before, this time he will no longer worry about him.

He touched the place where the bow and arrow hit just now with his fingers, and he could feel a shallow scratch on the helmet from the arrow just now on the glove of the steel armor.

For the entire armor, he asked Ganner craftsmen to use the best steel on the helmet. Moreover, the internal design of the helmet is also very complicated, just to prevent impact, and the weight of the thick helmet can be dropped from the neck armor to the breastplate to relieve the weight and fatigue of the neck.

Looking at it now, it really works.

Keir took two more steps, passed the sight of the archer on the second floor of the hotel, and then went straight to the hotel.

He used the torches fired by the enemy at the Scar Chamber of Commerce to light up, and saw that the sign of this inn was a wine glass sleeping on a wooden bed, and the name of the inn was written under the sign.

'Good wine and good dreams'
