Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel held the rein with one hand, and pressed the baron's bodyguard, who was covered in injuries, tightly in front of him with the other.

The wound on this man's body was quite deep, and the thick armor was okay, only the deep cuts on the surface of the armor could be seen, without wounds or bleeding. But some armor is thin, or joints that are not protected by physical activity, and the injury is very serious.

Many blood vessels were clenched and severed by the monster's claws, and blood flowed out. Even though human beings have excellent wound hemostasis ability, but in the face of this kind of injury, the original spontaneous hemostasis ability seems to be a drop in the bucket.

Whoosh whoosh.

The sound of crossbow arrows flying across Kiel's head made him lower his head to avoid it.

But he quickly realized that he was wearing a full-coverage iron armor at the moment. Although it was not true that he was not afraid of crossbow arrows, sporadic crossbow arrows could still be prevented.

Besides, the one who shot the crossbow was one of his own, so there was no need to catch Kiel to attack, unless he was not afraid of Kiel's revenge later.

Compared with Keir who was still afraid of crossbow arrows, the two knights completely regarded the salvo crossbow arrows as a means of defeating the enemy that was ineffective against me but very effective against the enemy.

There was a clanging sound, and the two knights and their horses were unscathed, but they were shaken uncomfortably. But the remaining harpies that were also covered in the strike range were finished.

A large number of crossbow bolts shot obliquely pierced through their hard wings, penetrated into various parts of their bodies, and covered them all over with crossbow bolts.

The harpy fell from the air with a wail, and after falling to the ground, he was still thrashing back and forth with tenacious vitality, but was blown out of the head by several spears immediately, and died completely.

Knight Rumi was about to cheer and congratulate, but Knight Crowe, who was fighting with him, immediately moved.

"Rumi, hurry up! Time is running out, take away all the things around you, and don't provide weapons to the monsters that are coming soon!"

Knight Crowe shouted urgently. While shouting, he jumped off his horse, grabbed the broken body of a horse, and quickly piled it on top of his horse. This fragmented horse carcass was chopped up by Kiel with an ax before.

It doesn't matter that his own horses are unwilling.

If you don't want to, you have to do it. As soon as Knight Crowe's horse neighed like a complaint, Knight Crowe hit the horse's head covered with metal armor heavily with his hand.

"Stop complaining, keep your back steady!"

Knight Rumi couldn't figure out why his companion was going crazy, but out of his usual trust, he let go of his doubts and learned to jump off his horse, piled up the corpses of harpies that had just died around him. Get on horseback.

"By the way, there are also weapons or armor fragments left on the ground. Take them all. Take them all away!"

"What's going on? Explain, Crow."

Knight Rumi still didn't want to understand what was going on, so he kept moving his hands and asked.

The two knights spoke in normal voices, but the whistling wind that had just faded and gradually increased in the surrounding area could not stop their voices at all.

The voices of the two seemed to have power, and the strong wind around them could not disperse these words, nor could they be suppressed with a louder voice.

"You guys, haven't you figured it out? In the surrounding grasslands, besides the things we brought and the leftovers after the battle, what else can be thrown from the sky by those monsters?"

As soon as he finished his answer, Knight Crowe threw all the things he could find nearby on the horse's back, and then he jumped on the spot, lying on the back of the horse in a very unsightly posture. On the top, use your open hands and feet to firmly fix the things below you.

His war horse let out a heavy breath, it was heavy, but it could hold on.

Without the owner's urging, the war horse raised its hooves and ran towards the army as smoothly as possible.

Rumi Knight's movements were not slow, but he simply turned over the surrounding battlefield, grabbing some scattered weapons and crossbow bolts stuck on the ground.

But more crossbow arrows inserted into the ground are completely powerless. Not far away, a large number of harpy monsters are approaching rapidly with their sharp screams one after another.

He jumped on the back of his horse, instead of lying on his stomach indecently like Claude, but sat directly on it, urging his horse to speed up and run back.

-

Kiel had returned to the army one step ahead of the two knights.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Priests! Where are the priests? Someone is seriously injured here! Priests need to be treated!"

Kiel rode through the scattered militia, shouting loudly.

The militiamen on both sides who heard what Kiel shouted all pointed to the inside of the carriage behind them.

Someone else seemed to have dealt with Kiel, and yelled to remind Kiel: "The baron called all the priests back just now! They just treated the injured here before."

"OK!"

In response, Keel slowed down to let the horse approach the carriage, and then got in through the gap between the carriages.

The view on horseback will be much better than standing on the ground. You can just see Baron Kendall himself standing on the top of the carriage from among the stopped carriages.

Just when Kiel looked over to look for the priests, on the carriage next to the baron, priests, old or young, were climbing to the top of the carriage by stepping on the seat of the carriage driver.

The priest who had already gone up seemed to be talking to the baron, but because of the interference of the surrounding wind, they were far away, so they couldn't hear what they said at this time.

Keir spotted the location and immediately rode his horse around there.

The condition of the baron's personal guard in front of him was very bad. Not only was his face pale and frighteningly exposed from the gap in his helmet, but the blood flowing from the wound on his body had even dyed a large area of ​​Kiel's horse's fur red.

"Don't die! Don't die! Live for me!"

Keel gritted his teeth, and yanked the horse's rein harder and harder, so that his horse could turn around more neatly to avoid the carriages blocking the way in front of him.

But it seemed that Kiel had strangled it. The horse he was riding suddenly snorted and slammed, but no matter how Kiel kicked it with his heels, he was unwilling to go again.

"You bastard."

Angrily, Kiel flicked the rein he was holding in his left hand, and jumped off the horse with the wounded in his arms: "I'll deal with you later!"

Resisting the weakened body of the wounded man on his shoulders, Kiel strode towards the church priests.

"In time, in time, in time, in time! It must be in time."

Although he said so in his mouth, Keel felt that if he had a heart, his whole heart would be falling to his abdomen at this moment.

When he rushed to the carriage near the baron, several baron guards with big swords and long swords suddenly stood up, drew their weapons and stood in front of Kiel: "Stop! Report your intention!"

Kiel pushed away the two crossed swords in front of him, and yelled at the people who were blocking the way: "Are you blind? Didn't see it to save people! Get out of the way, don't block the way, this is you My own people! See clearly!"

But even if Kiel said so, the people around him were not blind, they could see clearly, and they could hear clearly, but the baron's personal guards still took a few steps back and stood in front of Kiel again.

"Stop, my lord has an order, without his own call, I can't go any further at this time! Back off!"

"Stand back!"

"Stand back!"

Several people shouted in unison, and the baron's personal guard who used the big sword still crossed the two big swords left and right in front of Kiel. push.

No push.

Keir stared angrily, lifted his mask, and stared at the two expressionless baron guards in front of him.

"Are you crazy? I say again, get out of the way! Or come with me to the priest! Either way, hurry up!"

He opened his mouth wide and panted heavily, not because he was so tired. To be honest, since he started eating monster meat and exercising to strengthen his own life energy, he has always been full of energy, which is inexhaustible.

At this moment, he looked like this, but he was blown away by the way this group didn't care about the lives of their own companions.

On the way to the south, Kiel knew very well that compared to other small groups in the army, the group of the baron's personal guards were the most united and xenophobic.

Not only is it xenophobic, but because it is confident that its martial arts and strength are stronger than any other group in the army, it has always looked down on other people.

Besides the baron and the two knights, there were a few priests and high clerks.

For example, the young militiamen from all over the county that were recruited this time were contemptuously called by these guys as those who carry dung and dig dirt, while the militiamen in Kendall town were called by these guys as coolies from various families. The first-rate town guards, these guys don't pay attention to them. Although they dare not say it directly, Kiel has heard that these guys call the town guards the guards of the city gates and walls.

Some virtuous fellows called the town guards the old and new shoes of the clerks.

Insinuating that the town guards usually assist the clerks of the government affairs office to run errands.

Even if the actual power of the town guard is not small.

Most of these close guards who belonged directly to the Baron Kendall's family, followed the baron himself all the year round between Kendall City and the provincial capital Organ Castle, and their knowledge was indeed far beyond that of the various organizations and groups in the county.

But Keir has always believed that these people look down on other groups so much, are united and xenophobic, and rarely greet other people, so they should have their own dignity and mutual assistance.

But at this moment, Kiel finally understood that these guys are really different from others. Others work as a duty or to earn a living, but these guys are really only loyal to the Baron himself.

When orders conflict with their own lives, these people are only willing to watch their companions bleed to death.

Keel calmed down instantly.

It turned out that these people were just the baron's hands and feet, but they couldn't even be called normal people.

These people repeatedly shouted that no outsiders could approach without the call of the Baron himself. He didn't even think about sending someone in to inform the inside, he didn't ask any questions, but just carried out the order mechanically.

"No time, get out of the way!"

Keel shouted one last sentence, but the answer in front of him still retreated.

The muscles all over his body were tense, and Kiel didn't think much of it, he reached out and grabbed the place where the two big swords intersected. This time, instead of pushing away, he grabbed it tightly with his hands.

The metal gloves creaked and rubbed against the edge of the not-so-sharp big sword, and then Kiel pulled and pushed hard, and he pulled the two big swords back and forth, along with two tall and heavy swords. The bodyguard of the baron also swayed back and forth.

The two burly men, both weighing hundreds of kilograms, were still sturdy warriors in armor, and they were being manipulated like they were puppets the size of palms being manipulated by Kiel.

This frightened the surrounding baron guards.

They all knew that Kiel was just a newly famous young boy who had gained some fame by dealing with monsters.

Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be spotted by the Crow Knight for his potential. From the beginning of the march, he trained to become a new knight.

But although Keir has made various outstanding performances these days, he is still an ordinary person for the time being, similar to them.

Even the martial arts in using weapons is far behind them. Kiel can have various recent victories, and they all agree that it is Kiel's equipment that accounts for the majority.

If it weren't for that equipment, Keir would have died on some sleazy characters. Besides, if they have Kiel's equipment, they believe that they can also achieve Kiel's results, and even, no, not even, it will definitely be better and stronger than Kiel's results.

With a cold face, Kiel lifted his left hand up and down, and with just one click, the two baron guards who refused to let go and lose their weapons shook heavily up and down, and fell directly to the ground.

The arms holding the two big swords turned sideways vigorously, and the two burly baron's personal guards were thrown out together.

It slammed heavily on the carriage next to it.

The baron's attendant in the carriage turned pale with fright, and shut the window of the carriage with a snap, not daring to look at what was happening outside.

"Do you dare to do it?"

"Take him down!"

The other three baron guards nearby shouted in unison, neatly drew out the long swords around their waists, and raised the shields at hand.

But Kiel took a step faster, stepped forward heavily, and after quickly closing the distance, he clenched his left hand and punched straight at the chest of the baron's personal guard who had drawn most of the long sword out.

Boom!

There was a dull sound, even the strong wind could not cover it.

The guard who was hit head-on by a punch flew upside down and flew six or seven meters away, hitting the wheel of a carriage at the other end.

The man vomited a mouthful of blood and wanted to get up, but he failed very quickly. He couldn't get up anyway, and his hands and feet didn't seem to obey the instructions. His hands and feet were limp and he could only half lie on the side of the carriage wheel.

Immediately, someone rammed towards Kiel with a shield.

Kiel, who had just sent someone flying, didn't even think about it. Relying on the experience and instinct he had recently trained with his bare hands, he subconsciously flashed to the right.

Then, after getting away from the short-range gap revealed by the close-range impact of the opponent's shield, he patted the man's shoulder with his left hand and pulled him forward, while his left foot lifted and swept heavily on the man's calf.

Logically speaking, they are all skilled fighters, how could someone break their balance with a sweep of their legs so lightly, not to mention that the baron's personal guard who used the shield was also a sword and shield warrior.

Kiel is also good at the sword and shield posture. This defensive and counterattack fighting style pays special attention to his own balance.

Because in shield defense, three points are based on the footsteps to control the distance between the enemy and the enemy, three points are based on the direction of the shield to master the unloading force, three points are based on the overall balance of the body, and the last point is reserved for the counterattack of the weapon matched with the shield.

Therefore, there is basically no possibility of using shields, and the possibility of being overturned after a face-to-face encounter.

But at this moment, such a scene really appeared.

Kiel patted and pulled with his hands, and swept with his left leg on the ground, knocking down a melee sword and shield warrior who was also strong and fully armored.

With a bang, the man landed on the ground directly on his stomach.

Fortunately, the ground is relatively soft grassland ground, not only does not hurt, but also slightly elastic.

It's just that after being thrown like this, it takes at least two or three seconds to get up and fight again.

'how come? impossible! Block it, I'll get up and entangle him! ’ Just as the baron’s personal guard of Sword and Shield thought about it, before he got up from the ground, he saw that the last companion was directly grabbed by Kiel with one hand and the tip of the long sword was held in a ring with his left hand. Relying on the protection of steel armor in his hand, he put his companion's long sword on all the way from the tip of the sword to the guard of the long sword.

His companion obviously wanted to use his strength to break his weapon out of Kiel's control, and even cut off half of Kiel's palm with a sword.

But no matter how hard he exerted, the blade of the long sword and the steel glove in Kiel's hand made a fierce friction sound.

He couldn't break free even for a minute.

After Kiel held the end of the man's blade and part of the gauntlet with his left hand, he held it tightly and slammed forward. The long sword seemed to have changed its owner in an instant under the might of absolute power.

The long swords controlled by both of them slammed against the baron's personal guard in a short and fierce way. The steel weight ball at the end of the hilt was like a hammer that could break through a steel helmet, and hit the baron heavily. The belly of the bodyguard's armor.

This man's armor also freely added a layer of hard thick cowhide on the left and right sides of his abdomen as a vital defense.

But this short heavy blow was too powerful, and after the impact, it even left a deep dent on the armor on his abdomen. But it dented the armor.

If it was a sharp and bladed dagger, it would have pierced through the armor directly and pierced the person.

The baron's personal guard, who was hit so hard, immediately fell to the ground. Although he pulled out a spare short sword with both hands and wanted to fight, Kiel didn't even look at it. He passed the man, swung his backhand, and nailed the man's long sword to the man's right hand.

firmly stuck in the ground.

Kiel exhaled with a cold face~www.readwn.com~ and ran up stiffly, as if he was not the same person who knocked down five fighters in a row just now.

However, Kiel squatted slightly and jumped up from the ground while carrying a person on his back. He jumped several meters high and jumped onto the roof of a carriage in front of him.

And there is another carriage in front of Kiel, which is where the priests are staying at this time.

-

As soon as he came up, he was naturally seen by others. When the priests saw the wounded man on Kiel's shoulders, they naturally immediately understood what Kiel was going to do at this time.

But Baron Kendall is very interesting. He is not a priest, and he cannot hear what is happening next to him and the conversation in such a windy situation.

He himself has knight-level abilities, although he hasn't practiced much in recent years.

However, he has always had the enhancement of various sense organs after the life energy fills the whole body.

He heard the sound of Kiel rushing to talk and fight with his guards. At this moment, the expression on the Baron's face was neither angry nor surprised to see Kiel's good performance.

He is judging, not only the judgment of Kiel's judgment before judging himself, but also the judgment of Kiel at this time.

Not just strength, but also the judgment of this young man's behavior.

Affected by the magic that strengthens thinking ability on the magic gem crown, Baron Kendall thought a lot, but on the surface he just smiled at the **** Kiel.

"Come here, Kiel. Hurry up and hand over the wounded to the priests,"

Keel froze for a moment.

The baron looked at the priests and sized up a few of them: "Which one of you has more power? You can save my life first. For the battle to come, you need your power to use magic spells to assist the army in fighting. .”
