Although in terms of numbers, Merlin and her side have fewer mercenaries, but in terms of equipment, mercenaries are much more powerful than those bandits...... If the robbers have both numerical superiority and equipment superiority, then why should they be robbers? Simply rebelling, that would be much richer than being robbers.

At the beginning of the battle, the steppe warriors were inexperienced and suffered many casualties. But after the initial panic, the mercenaries also began to fight back...... At this time, the advantages of equipment were gradually revealed.

The robbers' bows and arrows were a little soft, while the mercenaries used crossbows with long range, great power, and easy to aim, and after the morale gradually stabilized, they began to counterattack one after another, and in the first round of attacks, a group of robbers lay down, and the subsequent attacks also shot down those who dared to expose their bodies.

At this moment, the advantages of the large bed crossbow were finally revealed.

Although there are many mountain rocks on the opposite side, the very rocky structures on the grassland are very weathered due to exposure to the air, and the half-moon-shaped huge crossbow arrows fired from the large bed crossbow are shot on those mountain rocks, as long as the thickness of the Lingshan rock is not too large, almost all of them will be shot through or shattered.

So wherever the crossbow is pointed, the robbers there have little chance of escaping.

At this moment, the robbers on the opposite side panicked, although they had received information that although these fat sheep were rich in oil and water, they were not easy to deal with, but in their understanding, at most, it was the level of the tribal alliance army, and they did not expect that there would be such a powerful weapon.

These bed crossbows were all standard weapons purchased in the army through the nobility, and even if it was an army, not every army could be equipped with such a large attack weapon, let alone such a gang of bandits.

"Adosh, go and add some food to them. A palpitating smile flashed in Poseman as he handed a few potions to one of his followers.

"Yes, sir. The follower agreed, took the potion, and quickly ran towards the bed crossbow position.

Although alchemists can also enchant weapons, they have requirements for the material of weapons, and in war, if you use enchanted weapons, it not only means that you consume a lot of time, but also burn money, which is too cost-effective for adventurers. However, the flask can be used to perfectly fulfill the attack requirements.

Flutter, flutter, flutter......

More than a dozen huge crossbows roared out with test tubes filled with potions...... However, this time the bandits were a little puzzled by the leniency of honorary members.

That's too bad, isn't it?!

Just when the robbers were wondering in their hearts, a puff of purple smoke suddenly rose from the place where the crossbows fell, and they condensed but did not disperse, and rose in a zigzag, like purple snakes, slowly raising their bodies, revealing their fangs...... At about the same time, the wind parameters in the air vibrated slightly, and the purple smoke began to disperse.

"Ah~"

One of the robbers suddenly screamed loudly and ran away as if he had seen a ghost...... After a few steps, he fell to the ground, screaming and rolling, but after a while he lay there motionless...... The scene happened to dozens of robbers at the same time, who were rolling on the ground as if they were in great pain, screaming chillingly, and dying in no time.

"It's poison gas!!"

"They use poison!"

As the purple mist spread, the robbers blew up their nests...... If they could bear to be killed by swords, guns, and swords, the only thing they knew at the moment was to run away.

This is the characteristic of steppe bandits, as long as they can't beat them, they will immediately scatter and run, because for every robber, the most precious thing is their own life, and there is absolutely no loyalty.

"Rush over!"

Unable to fight, he held back his fire and saw that the robbers began to rout and flee for their lives, and he shouted orders to the mercenaries to pursue.

Pursuit?

Are you kidding!

Not to mention whether those robbers were really running away, even if they were defeated, the purple poisonous smoke on the temple looked very terrifying, and they were resolutely unwilling to contribute.

"Go after it, or you'll be the next to die!"

Seeing that Delle was showing signs of rampage, Merlin broke the siege in time, and at the same time shocked the wind attribute energy particles in the air, and those purple mist quickly disappeared, completely exposing the bandits' defeated peak shadows.

"Kill!"

Maybe it was because they saw that there was no danger, or maybe it was Merlin's threat that played a role, those mercenaries rushed out of their hiding places one after another, they were in groups of three or five, with crossbows in their hands, and they shot while running, not every steppe warrior had the skill of bending their bows and shooting eagles, but while running, it didn't make the hit rate worse, this was their only talent, and it was also the talent that the defeated hated the most.

The bolts sliced through the air with a snorting sound, and the robbers never ran in a fixed direction, all in all directions, because they never had the idea of regrouping. The mercenaries had to chase around, and the battlefield was suddenly opened into a large area.

Merlin and the others did not chase after the bandits who were scattered, which was not an act in line with their identity. Several wizards and their followers came to the place where the robbers were ambushed.

Ma Marin threw a few 'life detections' in a row, and more than a dozen lights suddenly appeared in front of her, most of them were faint blue lights, which were her own people.

At the beginning of the hire, everyone in the team, including those who followed, was planted with special spiritual markings in order not to accidentally injure their own people.

Three of the dozen or so lights were red, and the wizards would never be polite to these red lights, and even without their hands, a few followers had already cleaned up the few fish that had slipped through the net.

There were also some mercenaries on the ground picking up the bodies...... These guys cleaned the battlefield thoroughly enough that they didn't even give a piece of cloth left. However, judging from the corpses, there is really no clue that their identity is indicated.

"It's the army of the Clan Alliance. ”

Suddenly, a hesitant voice came from behind, and Merlin looked back to see that it was the female assassin Dania, who had come behind him without a sound.

"Why are you so sure?" asked Merlene.

"Weapons. Although their weapons are inferior to ours, they are uniform in style and have traces of polishing. And most of the bandits, even if they are large bandits, with one or two thousand people, cannot achieve a uniform style in terms of equipment...... And I don't know if you have paid attention to it, the weapons in their hands should have been numbered, but now they have been polished off, and the grinding marks are still very new, indicating that the polishing time is not very long......"

"Interesting, if that's the case, then there's a big guy eyeing us. (To be continued.) )
