Chapter Sixty-Eight: The First Entry into the Battlefield

"This is your first battle. Although the opponent was an infantry squad of thirty people, Regner did not have the slightest nervous look on his face, he just calmly said to Erin: "Don't force yourself, if there is danger, notify me in time, I will appear by your side." ”

"Good...... Okay......" Erin stammered back, she couldn't be as calm as Regner, and the opponents were hoplites in armor and heavy swords. Even if there was only one, she could scare Erin from before, and now even if she has become a tenth-level priest, she will inevitably be scared in the face of more than thirty big men.

"Don't be afraid, your task is to protect yourself, just defend, attack is our business. Regner was so frightened when he saw that the half-elf girl could only speak comforting words again.

"Why are there only four of them?" the captain of the infantry at the head frowned, their mission was to transport a batch of loot from the front to the rear, but these four guys suddenly burst out, and put on a good stance, as if they wanted to fight them. But...... Are they idiots? There are only four of them!

Although he saw that these four people should be extraordinary, he still didn't believe that each of these four people had the strength to fight ten. After all, the average level of his own escort team is level four, and his team leader is already a ninth-level mid-level warrior, and if he wants four people to destroy a team, each of them must have the strength of level thirteen or fourteen!

"Sorry, we don't want to cause senseless killing, and if you surrender, then we can guarantee your lives. Regner shouted at the team, knowing that Erin must not have seen too much killing, so he didn't want the gore to pollute her eyes.

"What a crazy tone! I think you're just a bandit on some hill!Hmph! and dog thief, how dare you be so arrogant?!" Regner's words caused the squad leader to immediately become angry.

"Captain, don't underestimate the enemy, there has been intelligence from above. Many of the winners of the previous tournaments of the Hawke Empire have come here to participate in the war, and they may be one of them. The vice-captain leaned over to remind.

"Hmph! you have to fight to know!" The captain was very unconvinced.

"In that case, then we can only apologize. Regner sighed, then pointed at Erin, "I'm not going to kill her, but in exchange, I hope you don't attack her, she is no threat to you." ”

"Are you a fool of jousting with the enemy, and you negotiate terms with the enemy on the battlefield......" Kordak increased with his hand.

"I'm more relieved to be clear. Regner replied, and he drew his Light-Swallowing Sword and went into stealth.

"Vera, the enemy is basically hoplites, and the matter of attacking will be left to me and Regner, you should focus on defense, and pay attention to protecting Erin. Kordak drew the lava blade as well.

"Got it, don't worry!" Although Vera is usually fierce and abnormal, she will still obey the command unconditionally when fighting.

"Prepare for battle!" shouted the team leader, startled at the sight of Kordak's enchanted weapon.

Because the crimson greatsword flowing with lava-like light seemed so imposing, even if you looked at it, you could know the amazing magical power it contained. A warrior who can have such a weapon will definitely not be weak!

"Up!" the captain looked at Kordak's calm appearance, and his heart was a little uneasy, so he hurriedly gave the order, hoping to defeat these guys sooner.

"I'm on!" Kordak shouted, then rushed forward with a lava blade.

Rumble!

Fire attribute fighting qi with a high temperature of dozens of degrees erupted from Kordak's body, and with Regner's help, Kordaq had gradually mastered the use of attribute fighting qi.

The crimson lava blade was wrapped in orange-red fighting qi like a blade in the hands of the Hell Flame Demon King. Vera saw that Kordak swept hard, and four or five warriors were directly blown away by his fighting spirit, and this was the result of him taking care of Erin's emotions and showing mercy to his subordinates, otherwise, Kordak might be able to cut off the two poor ghosts in front of him with a single sword.

"......" Erin looked ahead in horror, although she knew that war could be cruel, but she didn't expect that even in the beginning, such a terrible thing would happen. Blood, blades, screams, dirt...... Is this war?

"No...... No...... Don't ...... like that," Erin was so frightened that she cried.

"Open your eyes Erin!" Vera shouted as she remotely supported Kordak, "It's a battle, you have to open your eyes and watch it all!"

"But...... But...... You're killing each other, it's not right......" Erin snorted.

"I'm sorry I don't know, but I have to live, and I have to live!" Vera shot an arrow through the thigh of a close warrior, and then continued, "They also participate in the battle to gain military merit and get ahead, so we are all the same." If you don't step on their corpses, they will step on you and your companions' corpses and laugh, so you have to face it all. Even if you don't hurt others, at least you have to protect yourself, and the premise of protecting yourself is to see everything that happens in front of you!"

"......" Erin fell silent, she hadn't read much, but she had an almost stubborn recognition of kindness and friendliness in her heart. Therefore, although what Vera said had some truth, it was still difficult for her to accept it in a short period of time.

And Vera also knew that she couldn't force Erin to accept anything in such a short time, so she didn't say anything more and began to concentrate on dealing with the enemy.

At this time, the captain and vice-captain were engaged in a grapple with Regner. Since there was no lethal strike, Regner's sneak attack didn't have much effect. Facing two fighters who had just stepped into the middle rank, Regner didn't think he would have much pressure. But he forgot that these people are also veterans who have been on the battlefield for several years, maybe the level is not very high, but the combat experience is extremely rich, and it is not easy to subdue them without hurting their lives.

And Kordak, this guy was also entangled to death by nearly twenty infantrymen. Due to the fact that he has just entered the advanced level, he has not yet been able to fully control his own power. So, two infantry have already been knocked out by Kordaq's lava blade, and they are currently unknown whether they will live or die.

Vera fired another arrow, but the arrow was blocked by the heavy shield of one of the infantrymen, who were followed by two or three more infantrymen, apparently intending to approach them with their heavy shields.

"Cut, I'm not going to run?" Vera shrugged, but when she turned her head, she suddenly saw that there were four more infantry touching her, and they were only three or four meters away from Erin. These guys actually took advantage of Vera to sneak up on Erin when she was attracted by the enemy in front of her!

"Erin be careful!" Vera screamed, she didn't hesitate to draw her bow and arrows, this time she aimed at the eyebrows of the men, because if she didn't kill them immediately, Erin would be in real danger.

"Poof!poof!poof!" Three dull noises came from behind Erin, and then she felt a warmth in her neck. As soon as Erin reached out and touched it, she found that her hands were full of red blood, so what was on her neck......

"Ah!!h

The ...... infantryman, who seemed indifferent to his companion's death, looked at Irene with an indifferent expression on his face, and then raised his sword aloft.

"Why did you kill me? I didn't hurt anyone......" Erin thought to herself in despair as she closed her eyes.

But the expected pain did not come, and Erin opened her eyes, only to find that Vera had fired the second arrow to solve the last enemy.

"Really, you should be careful...... Vera said helplessly.

"Sister Vera, thank you!" Irene was so frightened that she quickly ran to Vera's side.

"I want to thank me, let's use the treatment that follows......" Vera's voice grew weaker and weaker, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth when she said the last word. Then the woman couldn't hold on any longer and lay directly on top of Erin.

It was only then that Erin realized that Vera had three arrows stuck in her back and thighs. It seems that she turned back for too long and was attacked by the enemy. After all, they are in a state of attacking from both sides, and it is too reluctant for Vera to defend alone. At this time, those infantry were also close to him.

"Brother Regner!" Erin screamed in horror again, although she had repeatedly reminded herself to be bold and work harder, but it wasn't until she went to the battlefield that Erin realized that she was so useless. Even, Vera was injured because of herself!

"Damn!" Regner's eyes immediately turned red when he heard Erin's scream, and he didn't care about any conventions and rules now, he directly summoned a shadow flying knife in his left hand and forced the team leader in front of him to stumble, and then the light-swallowing sword in his right hand pierced his heart.

After killing the squad leader in an instant, Regner no longer cared about the frightened vice-captain. As he hurried towards Erin, he summoned the Shadow Knife and threw it directly at the infantry beside her.

"Puff puff!" There were a few more muffled sounds, and Regner's throwing knife pierced the back of the warriors' necks with great precision, ending their lives in an instant.

"Boss, don't show mercy! Sister Vera is injured!" said Regner, red-eyed.

"What?!!! Kordak immediately became furious, he directly activated the flaming blade of the lava blade, and then together with Regner, he cut down all the infantry like melons and vegetables.

Eventually, all the infantry was slaughtered by the two furious men, and the battlefield was covered in blood and broken limbs.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Erin was already so frightened that she was incoherent at this point, and she hugged Vera tremblingly, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Don't cry Erin, heal Sister Vera!" Regner rushed over.

But Erin seemed to be frightened, she just kept muttering sorry words, but she didn't do anything at all.

"Erin!" Regner was really anxious.

"Don't worry, Xiao Lei, I don't have much to do. Vera said weakly, because the infantry's fighting spirit level was not high, although the bow and arrow hit Vera's back, it did not cause too much damage to the internal organs.

"Vera, are you alright?" Kordaq ran over as well.

"Don't worry, the old lady is sturdy!" Vera smiled reluctantly.

Kordaq observed Vera's injuries and was relieved to find out that it was only skin trauma.

"Treat the wound first, let's go back, after all, this is still the territory of the Stokes, and we can't stay long." Kordak thought about it for a moment and then made an arrangement.

"What about those supplies?" asked Regner, they originally wanted to help the Hawke Empire get back a batch of supplies, but they didn't expect that two people killed Red Eye and killed everyone, and without coolies, the materials naturally couldn't be taken away.

"Take as much as you can, and destroy what you don't need!" Cordak said to Regner, "Go and help Vera bandage her wounds...... By the way, Irene, she can't behave like this all the time, or we won't be able to take her with us. ”
