Mercenaries and Adventurers

"Why did you get rich? If you really got rich and found valuable treasures, you can still shout so loudly? Haha."

The bandit leader pushed away the bandit who was blocking the way, came to his subordinates, reached out and fished out the wooden barrel that the bandit was pointing excitedly at, and then fished out a large handful of plump wheat grains that still shimmered faintly during the day.

"this…"

The bandit leader's breath stopped for a moment. He didn't know what it was, but judging by its appearance, it was probably not ordinary.

"Where are the other wooden barrels? Open all the other wooden barrels! Quick!"

Realizing something, the bandit leader hurriedly ordered the bandits who were looting and murdering around to put down what they were doing, and immediately checked whether there were all these things in other sealed containers.

Soon, the bandits under the leader took apart wooden barrels or wooden boxes, and found that some of the wooden containers inside contained a lot of these glowing grains.

"I got rich, I really got rich this time, the food that can shine, %%￥, I haven't eaten it in my life, is it true that those nobles and priests eat these things all day long? It's really different from us ordinary people .”

The bandit leader slapped the bandit men around him, and shouted excitedly: "Quickly grab these things, don't worry about those ragged clothes and trousers, one person carries a bucket and goes first, and the others continue to attack! Disrupt this group of people team!"

The bandits had never seen this kind of thing before, so they all guessed that this kind of luminous food was worth a lot of money. At first, each of them held the food with their hands and leather hats on their heads, but after hearing what the bandit leader said, They directly picked up the god-given food that the people saved from living frugally, and ran away excitedly.

Because at this time the Batar priest came from the middle of the refugee team with people.

Although there were not many believers who came to fight, the dozen or so believers were quite brave. Raising their knives and daggers, they jumped over the fleeing people and charged at the robbers.

Priest Batar even held a protective statue in one hand and a long amber metal staff in the other, and rode majesticly at the bandit leader.

On the left and right sides, there were bandits wielding knives and axes and hacking at the prairie horse that the priest was riding, but priest Batar reached out and pointed the amulet statue tightly held in his left hand at the bandits. The three or four bandits on the left side of the grassland horse were blown away in an instant.

However, due to the empty commercial road, the bandit who was blown away by the divine power rolled a few times in the soft field beside the road, and then crawled up, rubbing his limbs mournfully. Although each of them kept yelling about pain, it was not as powerful as when the priest used this thing in the woods before, and it could directly kill the bandits.

The bandits on the left were blown away with divine power, and when the bandits on the right attacked, the priest chanted a word and swung the metal staff hard at the bandits.

However, even though he had practiced the stick technique specially used by priests, in the eyes of the bandits this time, he didn't have any strength or threat. They roared and swung their weapons heavily, intending to knock the luminous staff in the priest's hand away.

"Be careful not to damage that thing, I've taken a fancy to it!"

The bandit leader roared angrily, for fear that his subordinates would not know how to chop up the seemingly valuable thing. Although the thing was still held by the priest, the bandit leader had already regarded the amber metal staff as his own. Property, eyes full of distress.

But things are often so unbelievable. Priest Batar swung his staff seemingly without strength, but when the staff collided with the bandit's weapons, the amber on the staff shone dimly. The gun is like the resin secreted by the pine tree, slowly and quickly from the place where the weapon collided, letting the dim light spread and envelop the entire bandit.

The three bandits on the right side of the priest were magically frozen in place by the light for an instant, and there was no further movement, as if they were really wrapped in amber.

This turn of events frightened the bandit leader who was charged by the priest. Although this guy thought that he could kill two or three such thin church priests with a single axe, but faced with this strange ability at this time, he still couldn't help it. Just like a child, there is no resistance at all.

"Hoo-hoo-come on, come on!"

But the bandits have their own rough way to deal with this mysterious power. The bandit leader suddenly put aside the olive-shaped wooden shield he was holding with his left hand, grabbed a dead citizen from the ground with one hand, and rushed towards him. The head of the coming long stick hit him.

Seeing this scene, Priest Batar was heartbroken and his eyes were tearing apart, but he had no choice. This was the only time for the horse to rush to attack. The enemy used this method of insulting the corpse to resist the attack, and he had no choice.

The bandit leader gave way to the prairie horse in an instant, and then he lifted his ax and hung it on the side of the horse, where the priest's right leg was, but this only aroused a burst of divine power, not as he expected. Cut off the priest's right leg, or take him off his horse.

Although the counterattack was unsuccessful, the bandit leader turned his left hand to the corpses of the civilians that he had seized temporarily. He saw that the corpses were like those of his previous subordinates, shrouded in a dim yellow light, and their bodies were motionless and extremely stiff. .

"Ha, it's useless! You damned priest, these things can only be used to fool the farmers and women who dig the soil, you have no real skills!"

As soon as the bandit leader finished taunting him, Priest Batar turned around on his horse and threw the protective statue in his left hand at him, and then came a strong impact.

But this fat bandit leader is not only capable, but also weighs more than two adult men. The divine power that could have blown people away can only blow this half The bandit leader who crouched down staggered back a few steps.

"how come…"

This was the first time Priest Batar met someone who could block the impact of divine power simply by relying on his weight and squatting down, but he was astonished. After quickly judging that his two moves at this time had no effect on this person, he immediately switched his attack As the target, select other bandits around or looting or killing people to attack.

The horse he was riding on did not slow down, and he rushed through this wave of bandits directly. The amber staff with a dim yellow light in his hand chased and stabbed the bandits, even if these bandits left behind the unconscious female citizens and the god-equipped ghosts. The wooden barrel that gave the food turned around and ran away.

But how can a person with two legs outrun a prairie horse running like the wind?

Although the priest does not know how to fight on horseback, it is easy to simply chase the bandits and poke them with a long stick. Often when someone is caught and poked in the back, the person immediately falls to the ground while maintaining a running posture. Facing the flying axes or weapons attacking from around him, Priest Batar also resisted the blow with his body, and then blasted a divine impact towards the place where there were many bandits.

But even if he is so active, he is not powerful enough after all. Although the bandits covered by the dim light seem to be frozen and controlled by mysterious power, but if you look closely, you can find that those people are still active, but the speed is faster than the normal situation around them. , it’s just dozens of times slower.

And because of the experience of the last night battle, Priest Batar didn't release too much power at once when using the amber metal staff. Although the power is not enough in this way, the number of times it can be used has been greatly enhanced.

But correspondingly, after the bandits discovered in the initial panic that those people shrouded in mysterious light had only slowed down their movements and did not die directly, these people also became bolder. And they can also use the innocent people held hostage or the dead bodies everywhere instead of themselves to resist the mysterious attacks of the priests.

As for the priest's divine power attack, the bandits couldn't block this move as hard as their leader, and could only be blown away helplessly by this huge force. Fortunately, the battles took place in open areas along the commercial roads. After people were blown away, it wasn't a big problem for them to roll a few times in the soft places.

Even the bandits distanced themselves far away from the priests. The huge impact from the priests, because the bandits were too far away, the power was greatly reduced. They couldn't even blow people away, they could only blow them down.

Priest Batar is like this, and the brave religious people he brought are even worse.

These fast-running brave men rushed straight forward in the face of the bandits, and fought with these ferocious bandits indiscriminately with the methods they thought fit.

The bandits were taken aback at first, but they often saw such desperate resisters from robbed caravans, and these people were also very resourceful. Although these religious believers were brave, they had almost no experience in combat skills. Facing the retreating bandits, they didn't even think about it, so they went after them directly.

"Don't chase! Let's all get together and fight!"

Priest Batar saw clearly from his horseback that the brave religious people who followed him chased and killed the bandits who seemed to be retreating, but the bandits were divided into two, and the people who pursued them also pursued separately . The bandits left again, and the people left the team and chased after them without thinking too much.

These brave religious believers thought that their courage moved the great Saturn, so everyone was able to drive back these vicious-looking bandits.

But it is difficult to deal with a group of people swarming up, and when they are dispersed to only one or two people, there is no threat, and the counterattack of the bandits comes immediately.

Bandits with some fighting abilities are no problem facing two people. They don't need to be wary of people risking their lives to kill them from other directions.

"No!!"

Priest Batar shouted loudly, but he couldn't say anything about letting people retreat, because once they retreated, these bandits would inevitably continue to chase the people, causing even greater chaos and casualties.

"Sorry! Armed squad behind, hurry up!!"

Priest Batar could only hope that the armed people of the armed squad running over from the front of the team would move faster and come over as soon as possible.

He himself didn't feel that he was in danger, because the bandits around him had already judged that they could not hurt him, and all turned their heads to attack the people.

The dozen or so young religious believers brought by the priest Batar only had to meet each other before they were separated by the bandits, and then they were dealt with in a few strokes. However, the armed people who were eagerly awaited by the Batar priest were blocked in the middle of the team by a large number of ordinary people who fled from the rear of the team. Come over here.

After this delay, the bandits who didn't have any loot in their hands continued to catch up with the people who were reluctant to part with their supplies.

A carriage at the rear of the team was also overtaken by the bandits.

It stands to reason that the carriage can overtake the crowd and escape early with only a few whips from the driver. But when the people in front of the carriage dropped all kinds of supplies and carts out of fear, the carriage was completely blocked on the commercial road, and there was no way to escape.

Therefore, when the robbers chased here, the driver of the carriage jumped out of the carriage and ran forward. Of course, he couldn't care about the other people in the carriage.

"Grandpa, run, get out of the car!"

The little boy pushed away several large packages of supplies blocking the way, hoping that he and the old businessman who took care of him would escape.

In fact, they should have gotten out of the car and fled long ago, but when they met the bandits before, the same bandits were repelled by the Kiel knight before they got close to the team. This made many people in the team, including them, think that there is no need to be too nervous when facing bandits.

But once the knight rushed into the woods to deal with the bandits, everything changed. The bandits who suddenly came out of the woods close to the team really showed their cruel side at this time.

However, the armed people at the front of the team were too far away from the rear of the team, which gave these bandits an opportunity.

The supplies that were discarded one after another completely blocked the movement of the carriage. The carriage that could have brought comfort to people had now become a cage for the people on the carriage.

"Leave me alone, get out of the car and run! People with combat power in front will come soon, get out of the car and run forward!"

The old businessman was handicapped in his legs and feet, so he knew that he couldn't escape in time, so he pushed the child forcibly, making him jump out of the car and escape.

But Mingming was a child rescued by the old businessman in the robber's prison, and he did not leave the old businessman to escape alone. He stubbornly held the other cargo boxes on both sides with his hands, trying not to let himself be pushed out of the car by the old businessman.

"I won't go! I won't go! I want to stay with grandpa. If we die, let's die together." The child had a stubborn face, and even lay down in the cargo of the carriage, as if he didn't care about anything.

The old businessman wanted to slap the little boy's head vigorously, but in the end he was still reluctant to do so. He had no choice but to cover the child's body with the lighter materials next to him, trying to cover it up.

"If you don't leave, don't talk, and breathe lightly! Things are blocking them, and they may not be able to see you. Hold on for a while, and the people in front will come."

The old businessman was out of breath after moving a few packages, so he had no choice but to lean aside.

"What about you, grandpa? You should also find Dong XZ to get up!"

Hearing this, the old businessman tapped his sore back and waist, and said regretfully: "Grandpa can't do it anymore, I'll just sit like this. Anyway, these cruel guys are probably full of bones like me. Empty old guy, not even interested in taking a second look. Hide it, don't talk anymore, don't worry, grandpa is fine, it's fine."

While comforting the child under the bundle, the old man looked worriedly at a young man **** behind the carriage.

The young man stood there blankly, holding a long sword in his hand, but his waist was tied with a thin rope and tied to the back of the carriage.

The people around left their supplies and luggage and ran away. He looked at it blankly, and he listened blankly to the continuous shouts of killing coming from behind.

It's just that every time someone was hit by a weapon and yelled in pain, the young man's blank face would twitch, as if recalling some memories that he didn't want to echo.

howling.

pain.

blood.

flame.

Of course there are corpses and the grinning faces that made them.

At this time, the young man no longer chanted the name of a person he knew in the academy, but began to unconsciously utter his family's relatives and friends.

"Hey, although you used to be a bandit, I guess this group of people will not let you go, come on, you escape too!"

The old man struggled to move among the supplies in the carriage. He took out his own dagger and cut a rope tied at the end of the carriage.

"grandfather?"

As soon as the child's doubtful voice sounded, he was severely criticized by the old businessman: "Why did you promise me? Hide quietly, and don't speak again until it is completely safe."

"OK…"

"Um?"

After hearing the old businessman's doubts, the child under the material package finally stopped speaking this time, and completely quieted down.

Due to his small body, a few light packages were pressed up, and there was no one there at all.

Crack, a piece of rope fell to the ground. Finally, the old businessman cut the rope. He waved to the bewildered young man, "Run! Run to both sides of the trade road. If you are alone, those bandits should not be interested in chasing you!"

But the young man just stared blankly at the old businessman who was talking to him, his eyes still full of blankness.

"Hey, let you run! If you don't go, it will be too late! Run! Run!"

The old businessman looked at this man still blankly, but behind this young man, the dozen or so people brought by the Batar priests had all been killed by the bandits at this time.

Turning his head and taking another look at the chaotic and crowded middle of the team, UU reading www.uukanshu.com where many fleeing people excitedly grabbed the hands and arms of the armed people, as if they were firmly grasping people, and they were completely safe up.

But the actions of these people disrupted the movement and organization of the armed squad.

The armed people who ran fast had already rushed past the middle of the line and then ran further, but those who ran slowly were completely stumbled by those who fled past.

"Really, it's always like this."

The old businessman looked anxious. If the armed people who rushed over like this came in twos and threes, wouldn't they be sending corpses to the bandits! Although he doesn't know much about fighting, at least he knows that soldiers can only exert their combat effectiveness when they gather together. Generally speaking, fighting is more people fighting fewer people.

The old businessman looked at Priest Batar, who was still trying to fight on the bandit side, and sighed. He could tell that although the priest had tried hard to fight, once these bandits saw through the priest's own ability, After being restricted, it is difficult for Priest Batar to make any effective response.

"You shouldn't be rushing up, Batar! Hey, you should walk behind and lead more armed people, not those brave young people to fight. Hey..."

The old businessman sighed heavily, and while trying to drive the stupid young man behind the carriage to escape, he put his last hope on the edge of the distant woods.

There, Kiel's war horse was parked at the edge of the woods, waiting for its owner, and it was also the greatest guarantee for the safety of the entire team.

The old businessman hoped that the Kiel knight would rush out of the woods in the next second, either alone, or leading the dozens of armed people he called away before, and beat up these bandits who wanted to kill and loot.

But when the bandits rushed to the side of the carriage, there was still no movement in the direction of the woods.
