Mercenaries and Adventurers

The moment before Keel shouted out the trick, it was the time when he led the people from the edge of the woods to make the bow bandits chase them into the woods.

In the woods beside the trade road, the leader of the bandits said viciously to the young bandits who were also lying on the ground and hiding: "I ask again, who dares to raid the refugee team with me? Now the knights guarding the refugees have been killed by my scar-faced men." It is a very rare opportunity to lead someone away!"

Although the young bandits who were present not long ago had all experienced the 'Naxin' ceremony hosted by the bandit leader, they had no escape route to withdraw from their identity as bandits. They could bully the innocent people who were tied up, and raided and robbed hundreds of people with dozens of people. The refugee team, no matter how you look at it, is not a matter of one level.

Many young bandits are willing to continue to follow the bandit leader, but they don't have the courage to rush out to take risks in broad daylight.

It really takes courage.

After all, the refugee team was not only large in number, but also protected by an armed team organized by itself. Even if some of those people were taken away by the knights, the remaining people would be much more than those present.

Hearing that there was no response, the bandit leader exhaled a puff of hot air from his nose angrily: "Cowardless gophers! I thought there must be at least one or two capable guys among you people, but they are all trash, idiots! "

Hearing this, many young bandits lowered their faces and buried them in the lying forest leaves.

But at this time, someone stood up.

A young voice shouted stubbornly in a low voice: "Boss! I'm not a waste! I'm not a worthless man either! I'm willing to do this with you!"

The bandit leader's eyes lit up: "Okay, have the guts! Come here, and I will reward you with an excellent weapon made of steel."

The young bandit who made the noise crawled to the side of the bandit leader. The bandit leader stroked the young boy's hair with his rough hands, and let out a deep laugh. A spare steel short sword for seasoned bandits.

The experienced bandit who was also lying on the ground groaned aggrievedly: "Boss, this is my eating guy..."

"Huh, eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat, and I will pay you back later. First, use it for our brave new companion. Anyway, you %% only have two hands, and you can't use three weapons. Come on boy, take it!" , this weapon is yours now! Wait a minute and kill the enemy hard, after the battle is over, I want to see you holding at least two heads!"

Although the request made by the bandit leader was somewhat difficult, the young bandit still took over the new weapon, and naturally put away his old worn-out sword and threw it to his fellow villager.

Later, with this person's lead, seven or eight young people joined the raid intermittently. The bandit leader gave the first few people new weapons as encouragement, and when the people who came after joined, he said he would wait for the battle Let's talk later.

After feeling that the number of people was almost as strong as a battle, the bandit leader stood up and waved his hands to signal that the people who moved out would follow him.

On the commercial road not far from the woods ahead, the refugee team happened to pass by them.

The timing was just right, most of the armed forces of the refugee team gathered in front of the team, and there seemed to be no human guards behind them.

"Rush! Follow me with big strides!"

With a greeting, the bandit leader strode out, and the others followed closely after him.

They first walked out of the woods quickly, and then came to the wild grass outside the woods. At this time, they started to trot and rushed to the end of the refugee team.

-

"grumble-"

At the back of the refugee team, the screams of the long-haired lynx orcs suddenly sounded on the wild grass outside the team.

First there was a cry, and then the other Mao Mao screamed one after another.

The bandits were a little confused when they rushed over, not knowing what the **** was warning the refugee team. At the end of the refugee line, after hearing the warning screams from the alien race, the people turned their heads to look in the direction of the screams.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

Dozens of bandits were rushing over from the back of the team, and many of them just hurried on their way, only then did they realize that the bandits were less than a hundred meters away from them.

"There are bandits! There are bandits!!"

Someone screamed, and then more and more people behind the team saw the bandits chasing them, and they all shouted. At the same time, some people quickened their pace and wanted to go to the front team, while some people threw down With the supplies on their backs, they pulled out the daggers or daggers that everyone had from their waists, and they were about to fight to the death with the bandits.

Some people panicked and didn't know what to do, so they had to run around, shouting loudly, hoping to call back the armed people in front of the team to protect everyone.

"Help! There are bandits here! Brothers in front! Come and protect us!"

The scream was so shrill that people who didn't know it heard it and thought that the man had been stabbed several times before he could utter such a panicked cry.

The middle and rear of the refugee team was in chaos in an instant.

"Stop! Stop!"

Xuefang stopped Kiel's carriage while shouting, then grabbed the crossbow that had been placed beside him, and quickly climbed onto the roof of the carriage.

He squatted halfway on the roof of the carriage, pulled the crossbow string neatly, then put the crossbow bolt in his mouth into the groove of the crossbow body and pressed it. Then he raised the crossbow and looked towards the back of the team.

"Good guy! What a tough bandit, are you crazy? Dare to attack our team in broad daylight."

After all, he glanced at the place where there were many bandits, and then raised the height according to the approximate distance. When he felt that it was not bad, he pulled the wooden mechanism under the crossbow body, bang!

His whole body shook, and the crossbow shot out following a parabola that first flew and then fell. Under Xueyasite's gaze, he hit the arm of a bandit who rushed over together, and knocked the bandit to the ground along the way.

Some of the other bandits bypassed the injured companions who fell to the ground, while others didn't care at all, and continued to attack by stepping on the injured companions.

-

Xueyasite started to attack, and naturally the others also reacted.

The priest of Saturn, Batar, who was riding on a grassland horse, turned around immediately after the alien's warning call sounded from behind the team, and found the gang of bandits rushing out of the woods and heading straight to the rear of the team.

He was startled, and searched back and forth, but only found the horse of the Kiel warrior in the distance. The warrior himself and the armed people he called away seemed to have rushed into the woods.

"Hey, I was led away! Seriously, people from the armed squad! Come to two teams to support the back of the team, no, three teams to go for emergency support! The remaining team guards the front of the team. In addition, all citizens please Stop! Take defensive measures where you are, don't panic, the enemy is small, they are not our opponents! Repeat, all the people stop, take defensive measures where they are, don't panic, the number of enemies is small, they are not team guards opponent!"

The priest urgently cast a divine spell, making his voice resound through the forest.

The huge volume frightened many birds in the mountains and forests on both sides of the commercial road, and also made the panic-stricken people in the team barely react.

However, due to the team of hundreds of people, and the people on horseback, the whole team is very long. Even if the four teams at the front of the team formed a trapezoidal defense, it would take a while for the nearest three teams to rush over.

At this time, the bandits had rushed to the end of the line, and they had already handed over the people who fell at the end. Obviously, it was too late for the armed team in the front to rush over, and the bandits would inevitably cause a lot of losses.

"God bless you, give me courage."

Priest Batar muttered in his mouth. He didn't use magic to increase the volume of this sentence. After finishing speaking, he turned the horse's head, took the amber metal staff from behind and held it high above his head. He made the grassland horseman stand up and attract At the same time, he shouted: "Believers of the God of Saturn! Please fight with me! The food given by the God of Eater will be watched and favored by the God of Saturn! Please come with me and fight with me!"

Clamping the horse's belly, the prairie horse leaped vigorously in place, jumped out of the trade road from the center of the team, and came to the grass outside the crowd. The Saturn believers who had been surrounding the priest before looked at each other. At least half of the young religious men and women pulled out their self-defense weapons, rushed out of the trade road, and fought with the young priest on the grass.

However, among the sixty or seventy religious believers in total, only the dozen or so people followed the priest in the end. The others lowered their heads, each finding reasons to excuse themselves, and finally followed the priest's previous instructions to defend on the spot.

-

The courageous furs yelled shortly, using their native language that only they could understand, commanding the scattered furs.

The task given to it by powerful humans is to guard the tail of the team and guard against the enemy's attack from here.

According to Keir's prediction, when the enemy raided the end of the refugee line, as long as the Mao Maos made warning sounds, he could hear them no matter where they were in the line, and then rode his horse to support them.

A large group of enemies cannot hide their figure, while a small group of enemies cannot be his opponent.

Therefore, not deploying armed people behind the team is not only a prediction of the situation, but also his confidence in his own ability.

But that was in his own case.

At this time, no matter how the Mao Maos screamed to warn when they saw the bandits rushing out of the woods, the expected powerful humans did not appear. This made Courage Mao Mao hesitate a bit, he was hesitating whether to fight or not.

The Mao Maos have good eyesight, and the bandits rushed out of the woods together, and they roughly saw the number and equipment of the bandits.

The one who walked in the front was naturally the leader of the bandits. He was tall and stout. He was wearing two pieces of local soldier armor, and he was holding a huge and heavy ax in his hand. Others needed a battle ax with both hands. This guy You can fight with one hand only by yourself.

Because it was a surprise battle, the bandit leader held an olive-shaped wooden shield in his left hand, on which was smeared with human blood and ashes a vicious pattern of red and gray skulls, quite scary.

Of course, as a foreign race, Maomao can't understand human's artistic expression very well, they are not afraid of skeletons or something. It's just that the bandits are such a powerful team, they don't know whether they should go up and fight.

After all, these human bandits are not small groups of goblins, or monsters that move alone. Although the Mao Maos are confident in their hunting and fighting skills honed in the mountains and forests, they only have a few Mao Maos after all, and their attack and defense are not as strong as they seem. The opponent of human bandits.

Just like before, they were still working for a group of human bandits, hoping to do things for humans, and the other party would reward them with some metal. As a result, the bandits did not give the originally agreed metal rewards at all after they dispatched them, but the small and short furs were no match for the tall human bandits—those bandits carried a lot of metal, and the fluffs weighed them. Combat strength is mainly judged by how much metal is on the body.

But that being said, although Courageous Mao Mao felt that he and his companions were no match for the bandits, if they participated in the battle, the powerful humans might reward them with a lot of metal afterwards.

Thinking about it this way, Courageous Mao Mao came to a conclusion, and it meowed a few times, telling the melee Mao Mao among its companions not to fight directly with the enemy. After all, the strength of the enemy and us is very different. If four melee Mao Mao went up to fight, it would be mosquitoes flying to jump. The frog bites on the face—to death.

Then it shouted to gather the long-range Mao Mao to its side, and everyone avoided the raid route of the bandits, and flicked out the small pebbles it picked up from the flanks.

Crackling, they hit the stones continuously, and each of them accurately hit the human bandits in the distance.

However, human bandits are different from other monsters in the mountains and forests. They all wear various protective armors. Although they are not as metal as powerful humans, they are also much stronger than many beasts.

The flying pebbles hit the human bandits, which could only injure and anger those guys.

"Where did the stone come from? Has anyone seen it?"

"Over there, over there! A few erect cats are attacking us, look!"

After finishing speaking, a bandit pulled out a spear from behind while running. He first rubbed the place on his waist that was hit by the stone, and then threw the spear towards the upright cat vaguely seen in the grass.

swish—

The speed of throwing the guns was very fast, but after hitting a round of stones, the Mao Maos dispersed when they saw the enemy counterattack.

Just one melee Mao Mao was lying on the ground, and after a human's throwing spear knocked down a wild flower, he rushed up excitedly and pulled out the throwing gun that was as high as it, and then together with another melee Mao Mao, the two villains carried the bandit's Throwing the gun just ran away and slipped away.

This is an extra loot, something of their own.

Although throwing guns is not very useful to the Mao Maos, there is some metal on the tip of the gun after all. The Mao Maos like metal, and it is impossible to let these metals go.

Courageous Mao Mao led the people to run aside and attacked the human bandits again, but this time the human bandits were quickly approaching the end of the refugee line, and the two sides mixed together to fight, Mao Mao must be careful not to hit the talents on their side OK.

The long-range attack was difficult, so Courage Mao Mao rolled his eyes and immediately led his companions to attack the scattered enemies who were injured and fell on the road when the bandits charged.

"Meow meow meow! Meow yo—"

Under the leadership of Courageous Mao Mao, the Mao Maos landed on all fours, with their tails raised high, and went straight to the wounded bandits in a staggered formation.

"Ah! Look at the trick!"

At the end of the line, a young man roared and waved a dagger in his hand, killing the bandits.

The bandit leader sneered, swung his ax down, cut off the young man's arm, and then pushed the man away, pushing the screaming and collapsed refugee aside, allowing the other bandits around him to kill him.

Looking at the chaotic refugee team, he shouted excitedly: "The men were chopped up, and the women were knocked out and carried away! Although it is a refugee team, they may be unexpectedly rich. Cut open all the boxes they are carrying, look There are some good things in there!"

"Wahhahaha, kill!"

The bandits swarmed up, even the young bandits who had just joined, their eyes were bright at the moment, their faces flushed with excitement, and they swung the new weapons in their hands fiercely, chopping down the refugees who were as young as them who resisted.

"Still resist! Still dare to resist! Die!"

The young bandit who was the first to join in before, at this moment, the steel dagger in his hand suddenly pushed aside the stiff refugee weapon, and then pierced the stomach of the refugee who was younger than him with a sword, and the whole person was excited. Stirring the weapon in his stomach, he looked excitedly at the painful expression of the man in front of him.

"Hahahaha, what's the matter? I'm not easy to mess with, I'll just accept your head!"

Pulling out his dagger, the young bandit couldn't wait to kick over the refugee, riding on the opponent's body, he was about to cut off the young refugee's head while the opponent was still alive.

But before he could make a move, a crossbow shot hit his left arm, not only directly piercing his entire left arm, but also his left rib was shot, and he burst into tears from the pain.

"Who! Who sneakily attacked you %%."

The young bandit with a ferocious face looked around, but in such a chaotic situation, he never expected that the person who shot him was still in the carriage at the front of the line.

In fact, some capable bandit leaders had already seen Bloodfang in the chaotic battlefield. The resistance and fighting of the refugees in front of him was not in his eyes at all. It was the sneak attack of the crossbow in the distance that made him feel unhappy.

He was very thoughtful, but he was paying attention to whether the crossbowman was aiming at him.

As a bandit leader, he has already done his job by leading people up, and he doesn't need to do it himself to rob people and supplies, so beware of sneak attacks and protect himself is the most important thing for a bandit leader in every battle.

"Hey, it looks like he's a hired caravan guard. He has some skills."

The carriage where Xueyasite was located was still some distance away from the end of the refugee team. It was already a very powerful skill to be able to shoot two out of three shots at such a distance.

In just a dozen breaths, more than a dozen young refugees who bravely fought against the bandits at the end of the team were killed by these bandits, UU reading www. uukanshu. When more people saw this, they threw down their self-defense weapons and supplies in a panic, and ran towards the middle of the line as if fleeing for their lives.

A bandit wiped the **** machete on the body of a young refugee girl, stepped on the immature face of the dead young refugee, and then slashed open a small wooden barrel that the girl was desperately protecting.

This wooden barrel looks heavy, and it probably contains a lot of things. As a result, he slashed open the lid of the wooden barrel with a knife, and the contents inside disappointed him greatly.

"%%￥, why is it just some food? These refugees won't be poor and only have these things left?"

He spat into the barrel and was about to complain to the leader, did they misjudge the wealth of the refugee team? Although this group of people brought a lot of things in horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, and trolleys, they might only have these things to survive. Otherwise, why would they be a refugee team?

But before he could speak, his eyes were attracted by the grain in the barrel.

The bandit froze for a moment, wiped his blood-stained left hand, and fished out the food in the barrel.

These grains are inconspicuous at first, but they are full of grains, which are even better than the grains grown from the best grains on the most fertile land. This bandit also came from a farming household when he was young. He had planted fields for several years when he was young, so he naturally realized the value of this thing.

What made his heart pound even more was that the grains were not only plump, as if copied by magic, but even under the sun at this moment, it could be seen that the grains were slightly shiny.

"This, this thing. Boss! Come and see this thing! We're rich! We're rich!"

The bandit shouted loudly.
