Mercenaries and Adventurers

The leader of the thieves group thought for a while, and looked at the crowd of subordinates who were all around because they heard the thousand gold coins. At this moment, the leader of the thieves felt that the time had come.

Although their thieves group had done a few big thefts in Guaifeng Town before, to be honest, in the eyes of the people above, they were all just small troubles.

Although I have studied and been trained in the Thieves Guild, it is just a simple training every year. It is not easy to see one's own abilities through one's eyes and ears.

Perhaps, after blocking the action of the higher-ups today, the higher-ups will face up to the fact that there is a person like him, and it is strange that there is a gang like them in Fengzhen.

"It's time for us to act."

He looked at the cronies around him and said.

They are all on their own, so seeing his expression, everyone didn't say much, and they all understood what he said.

With the development of the bandit group to this extent, it is indeed necessary to do a big thing to really make a name for themselves.

"Boss, you say, we will do it, and everyone trusts you completely."

Someone said so.

"Boss, all the brothers support you, issue an order, act now, just to catch the people above by surprise."

Others said so.

"Yes, Boss, it's frustrating for them to hold things in our hands, not to mention how much we want from them, at least we have to name our name when negotiating. Boss, we still need to discuss that name before. Are you coming?"

The leader of the thieves group nodded: "Just click on that, 'Shadow Strange Wing', as soon as the name is mentioned, we know that it belongs to our Guaifeng Town, it is very suitable. Then, brothers, move."

He clapped his palms, creating an intense and tense atmosphere: "First stop the carriage they prepared for me, hmph, the metal cage is heavy when you think about it, and without the carriage, they can't transport the birdcages containing valuable animals."

One of the subordinates who was pointed out should be immediately, go down and gather people who can fight.

"Remember to destroy the carriage, bring an ax or a hammer, just chop off the wheels."

"Good boss."

Then he ordered others: "There are two people outside the town with horse supplies for evacuation, find a way to stop them, be smart, don't be seen through by others, and then they run away on horseback."

"Yes, boss. I know what to do, just like I did with the horse dealers last time."

"Yes, that's it. Reliable and easy-to-use methods should be used frequently. They are easy to use and have their own reasons."

As a compliment, the boss of the bandit group continued to order: "Other people also put their hands into operation. Send me someone from the public security station to bring my token and this amount of money, so that they can save ￥%￥% from meddling. Around The streets are also blocked, don't scare the townspeople who don't want to do it, this is our 'Shadow Wing' fame battle, quickly and efficiently get the people up here, let them know that in the town of Strange Wind, we say Forget it!"

"oh!!"

"Excellent!!"

"The boss is mighty!"

Everyone cheered up, and then quickly dispersed to make arrangements.

The boss of the thieves group looked at his subordinates with relief. The newly established team is like this, enthusiastic and motivated, unlike some old organizations, which are overstaffed and everything is focused on maintaining the organization's income. They have completely lost their ability to act and this energy.

Knight Crowe returned to the shooting room on the top of the arrow tower, first opened the net in his hand, and then covered it with the body of the magic ballista that was standing diagonally.

He fastened the lower end of the net, and then fixed the thick rope on the net. He looked around at the other end, and finally found a solid rotating metal structure in the rotating structure on the ground, and passed the rope through it. .

The last thing is to destroy the base connection of the ballista and the magic power supply pipeline.

Knight Crowe observed the magic power supply pipe of the ballista, and found that the magic power inside the gleaming metal pipe had faded at the moment, so he was relieved, drew out his short sword and stabbed **** the metal magic power pipe.

This is a magical energy supply pipe made of extraordinarily soft metal. Ordinary people can slightly deform it by pinching it hard. internal activities.

It has a wide range of applications.

Knight Crowe has seen quite a few of these things, most of which are used in large magic devices, and what's inside is—

"The main stem of the climbing magic vine soaked in the diluted blood of the monster!"

He stabbed hard with his hand, and under the control of his huge strength, the steel short sword pierced the magic power supply pipeline twice.

A puddle of light red odorless liquid immediately spewed out from the severed rift, as well as the magic vine stalk that would actively twitch left and right after touching the air. The stalk is still alive with magic power even in this narrow and aggrieved metal pipe, and its life is extraordinarily tenacious.

The spot on the blade of the short sword that was stained with a light red odorless liquid soon became scorching hot, and slight sparks of magical power spontaneously danced after touching the air.

This is a very dangerous thing. Knight Crowe immediately controlled the life energy, expelled the liquid magic power from the short sword, and then pinched the two sections of the magic power supply pipeline with his left hand hard.

Creak, creak twice, and the two metal fractures were tightly pinched together.

There is no longer any new diluted Warcraft blood coming out.

As for the ones that had already popped up, Knight Crowe reached out and wiped away all the magic power contained in the blood.

Life energy is a very exclusive kind of energy, without the consent of its own master, they will not coexist with other energies at all. As soon as the two come into contact, they will be driven away with strong pressure and weak force.

After cutting off the connected magic energy supply pipe, there is still a base supporting the magic ballista.

This is a set of things that are connected by a supporting body and two front and rear lifting metal rods that control the pitch of the ballista. Knight Crowe swung his sword directly and cut off the two thinner front and rear metal rods that lifted the ballista.

There were two crisp sounds, although they were all made of steel, but the short sword covered with his own life energy in Knight Crowe's hand collided with the metal rod, and there was no crack or curling blade.

Here is a technique of using life energy.

However, this consumes a lot of life energy attached to the weapon. For beginners like Kiel, even if they learn it, they won't be able to use it a few times. Only knights like Claude Knights, whose life energy has already accumulated all over their bodies, and whose energy properties have changed, can use it easily without worrying about the rapid consumption of life energy in the collision of weapons.

He then stood up, kept his body still, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.

"Huh, woo—"

Exhaling in one breath, the earth-yellow life energy filled the whole body, but it didn't penetrate the surface of the body.

If you observe Knight Crowe at this time, you can see that his eyes and skin are slightly glowing with a khaki color, as if the inside of his body is not flesh and blood, but filled with khaki gems.

The power of the body has its own limit, so after the knights have the convenient and flexible controllable energy of life energy in their bodies, they all use it to improve their own strength.

Knight Crowe strode to the ballista, opened his arms, and leaned over to embrace the entire lower part of the ballista.

With a slight exertion of his body, the steering mechanism of the ballista under his feet made a creaking sound of metal deformation. If there are still people below, the voice must be heard, so they can come up to check.

It's a pity that the three people below have been knocked out at this time, and they can't do anything.

But the arrow tower was very high, what happened at the top of the arrow tower, the security post at the bottom couldn't hear what happened at all.

Creak, creak, as Knight Crowe carefully flipped the bottom of the ballista left and right, the metal support connected to the bottom continued to make strange noises, accompanied by tiny metal fragments flying and hitting the surrounding light wood , directly inlaid on it.

Knight Crowe's legs were protected by life energy, and the flying metal debris only damaged a little bit of the shoes and leather pants at his ankles, and did not hurt him at all.

After carefully shaking it left and right for a while, Knight Crowe let go of his hand, bent down and touched the metal of the ballista base with his fingertips.

Satisfied with the high temperature on the metal, he drew out his dagger and slashed left and right, then retracted the sword and hugged the base of the ballista.

"Oh! Get up for me."

He pulled up the ballista with a slight force, and then rotated left and right.

Crunch, hop!

The last bit of metal connected was still deformed and torn off.

Knight Crowe was overjoyed, and immediately took a steady step forward, then leaned sideways and carefully placed the several-meter-long ballista on the ground at an angle.

Boom!

The body of the magic ballista, which weighed hundreds of kilograms and weighed nearly one ton, just fell to the ground.

"Huh, didn't you get hurt?"

The knight was a little worried, so he leaned closer to observe the place where his palm was holding just now. Fortunately, although the magic ballista looked like it was made of stone, it was actually very complicated inside, and the three-dimensional magic circle and magic structure were safely wrapped in it within a rocky shell.

The stone shell on the surface of the ballista is not only the base material for the outer magic circle, but also a protective part to protect the inside.

Keel reached out to hold the wooden handle of his two-handed axe, and he could feel the handle shaking slightly in his hand.

Not only that, when he looked left and right, he could see a large stretch of giant vines on the roof not far away. Starting from the far end, the giant vines shrunk and decayed, and the surface of the vines quickly appeared wrinkled and Shrink, and then the outer layer of the vine on the surface festers, and the vine juice inside leaks out from the crack in large quantities.

Losing a lot of sap, the giant vines festered and shriveled into old, woody vine branches.

The giant vines, which were originally as thick as a normal person's waist, dried up quickly and were only as thick as Kiel's wrist. Although it is still much thicker than all common vines, it is no longer a density that cannot be passed and moved.

Not only that, the countless spikes on the vines, which were originally facing the sky, also broke from the roots of the spikes due to the decay and inactivation of the vines, and fell to the roof of the building clangingly.

And the huge and colorful flowers, after being folded up in fear, quickly lose water and become a flower pole that rolls up spontaneously.

Keir touched it with his hand curiously, it was hard, and it probably hurts to hit someone.

The insects that couldn't come out were naturally caught up when the flowers withered and shrank, and they couldn't come out again. It can only vibrate its body and wings, making a slight buzzing sound.

And the roots of the giant vines that spread out into the water, even if they were soaked in the water, still festered and decayed.

The water area of ​​the patio where the roots of the vines were located was also stained a turbid yellow color by the rotten roots, which looked a bit disgusting.

When the giant vines that had lost their green color reached the area cut by Keel's axe, the ax in Kiel's hand shook violently, and Kiel immediately pulled the ax out.

brush-

A band of green light slightly connected to the blue ax face was finally brought out when the ax was drawn.

Then these bands of green light collapsed into the surrounding air. Keel took a sniff and found that the surrounding air became particularly fresh and pleasant.

So he sniffed a few more times.

It smells like broken grass and smells like apples, but without the sweetness.

It's like the cold and clear water of a deep pool, gently covering the face.

Very comfortable.

-

Keel looked at the large shrunken and withered 'giant' vines extending from the patio, and the juice flowing from the vines that flowed everywhere on the roof.

He touched the juice and found that there was nothing, just like ordinary plant juice, slightly sticky, but smelled good.

He then chopped the ax on the stalk of another giant vine nearby, allowing it to absorb the life that destroyed the giant vine.

Then Kiel drew out his dagger, and cut off the giant dry vine branches one by one, at a length of two meters.

Because the dangerous spikes fell off and fell to the ground before, so now when you touch the place where the dense vines intertwine and extend, you don't have to be careful to be hurt by the spikes.

Keir also took the time to pick up the spikes on the ground, looking at them thoughtfully, wondering what use these hard and sharp things could be used for.

Although he didn't want to understand, he still collected the plant spikes that fell on the ground while carrying the cut dry vine branches. Use the giant vine skin that is still alive next to it, cut off a section as a simple rope, tie it up, and put it aside.

After the dry vine branches lost their water, they became very light, far from the heavy-looking giant boa constrictor before.

Near the dry vines near the patio, Keel threw them directly into the water. These branches lost their moisture and shrunk tightly. After falling into the water, they didn't even float up, and sank directly into the water of the patio.

As for the dry vines near the open gap in the street, Keel threw the **** away from the left and right, and quickly made a 'pathway' extending from the patio to the top of the street.

Just a little narrow.

And the second giant vine that had been drained of its power dried up completely at this time, and after knocking off Yueshui's head on the ground, it 'jumped' back to Kiel's hand.

He picked up the ax and checked it, and found that the blue shimmer on the surface of the ax was extraordinarily full, and the dryad on the surface was even bigger in size, and it was extraordinarily active.

Seeing nothing wrong, Keir felt relieved. He put away his dagger, and then picked up an ax to quickly chop up another giant withered vine and clean it up.

He still put away the spikes that seemed to be useful, put them on the side of the street, and got them into the carriage to take away later.

So, at the corner of an empty roof full of turbid plant juices, Keel put his ax into the leather bag behind him, looked up at the top of the arrow tower, and waited for the appearance of Knight Crowe.

The rope with the metal hook was held in his hand, ready for the next step at any time.

"Be careful! The surrounding atmosphere is wrong!"

With a normal expression on his face, Finley said something that frightened him to Pollau who was beside him.

"Come on, what happened?"

Boer Lao lowered his head and stuttered slightly.

One hand tightly grasped the reins, and the other covered the hand crossbow Kiel borrowed from him at his waist, as if he wanted to take out this pocket hand crossbow to protect himself at any time.

At this time, Finley boldly looked back and forth, making eye contact with more and more people staring at them not far away.

Those people stopped pretending, their eyes were eager to try, but they were very cautious, lingering in the distance and not daring to go forward.

I don't know what to worry about, or I am waiting for someone's order.

Suddenly, Finley focused his eyes and noticed that at the corner of the street behind, someone came to the middle of the few people who were watching them with a heavy hammer that was rarely used by blacksmiths.

As soon as this person came, the few people watching behind seemed to have a backbone. Some puffed up their chests, some pulled out two daggers from their arms and waists, and gestured in their hands in a pretentious manner. determined their appearance.

"Where are they all from?"

Although Finley didn't understand what these people were doing, they didn't look like the local security militia who knew their actions and hindered them. But these people's malice and blocking intentions are clear.

‘You have to grab that heavy hammer first, otherwise this little carriage will loosen after a few hits. '

With that in mind, he turned his head to look forward again.

Sure enough, there were more people in this direction. At the corner of the street in front, there were no ordinary pedestrians passing by, so there were a few more hunched figures carrying weapons.

What's even more hateful is that these people also pushed a few trolleys. When they stopped at the intersection, they probably waited for a signal, and they would rush out and dump the trolleys on the street, making the carriage unable to move.

100% stuck here.

Finley whispered something to Pollow, who was extremely nervous beside him, and Pollow sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head. Finley finally made up his mind and made a plan.

Now, on this street where the carriages were parked, there were a wave of unknown people staring at the two of them, and the means of blocking them were well prepared.

The Kendal sat in the carriage, waiting for the signal from the roof at any time.

The "Shadow Strange Wing" thieves group in Guefeng Town held weapons and tools in their hands, blocking the two ends of the street, waiting for a signal, and then they would attack.

The two parties faced each other so brightly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Vinila and Cordoz rode their horses silently, and led several other horses carrying supplies on the open grassland outside the town.

The surrounding area is a mess trampled by humans, horses, and wheels. It is not a good place for locals to harvest grass. Therefore, the locals who came out before all left the town from other directions and went straight to the town a little farther away from Guaifeng. , but at a distance that can be quickly returned at any time, there is a large area of ​​lush green grass mowed there~www.readwn.com~Vinila and Cordoz glanced at the exit of the street between the buildings on the edge of the town. their people.

Then I saw a small team of no more than eleven people coming out of the town.

It was an empty carriage for pulling goods, and there were two local grassland horses at the same time. On the carriage sat six local townspeople with sickles in their hands, and on the horses beside them sat one person at the front and one at the back, with sharp sickles hanging from their waists.

After the group of people came out of the town, they seemed to pass through this messy place trampled by people and horses, but the route overlapped with the route that Vinila and Cordoz wandered here. .

The two guards squinted their eyes and looked at each other, and Vinila chuckled lightly: "Do you think we are idiots?"

"I'm deliberately controlling the speed of the carriage, just to get in touch with the two of us." Cordoz said.

Vinila and Cordoz seemed to have reached a consensus, they drew out their weapons openly and faced the incoming person.

"Your Excellency told us to guard the horses no matter what."

"Well, it seems that we have to fight. Just right, fighting monsters has always been aggrieved, and we don't have a little bit of room to play."

"Anyway, we won't come back here after the operation, right? It doesn't matter if you do it harder?"

"Take it easy, maybe you will have to go here on the return journey."

"When the army is here, they don't want to ask for trouble, embarrass us, and embarrass themselves, right?"

"Why do you have so many questions, pull out your weapon and do it!"

Qiang Qiang, the two drew out their weapons, threw the gun with their left hand and the sword with the right hand, first loosened the rope of the horse behind them, and then the two of them, one left and one right, killed the unknown person who was obviously coming towards them.
