Chapter 8: A Deadly Sneak Attack
The south is wild, and the people are fierce.
No matter how strict the law is at the city lord's gate, it is repeatedly forbidden to fight and even kill people in the street.
The oppression of civilians by the powerful is also behind the scenes, unless their own strength is strong, otherwise few dare to insult in person, as the so-called puppet is angry and bleeding five steps, and the powerful are killed by civilians on the street, and they can often be heard.
It has to do with the local environment.
In the wilderness of the south, the living environment of most ordinary people is very difficult, which also makes the people here a kind of brave character.
Plus almost all of them have the opportunity to train, try to become fighters.
Even if you don't become a fighter, you will retain the fierce character that you have honed in training.
Moreover, if ordinary people do not become warriors, they can generally live to about twenty-five years old, and not many people can reach the age of thirty, and forty years old is considered a long life.
The reason for the short lifespan, the first is the harsh environment.
Often, a minor illness will become a major illness because there is no money for treatment, and then die.
The second is the mandatory management of the training of warriors for the whole people, many people do not become fighters, but because of high-intensity exercise, the body is left with permanent damage.
Once the body is past its peak, it will show up when it starts to decline a little, and the consequences are very terrifying.
The combination of these factors has led to the fact that people in the southern wilderness do not live long, so they do not value their lives, and most of them are not afraid of death.
Of course, if they knew that it was the Holy Warrior who killed the people, that is, what they called the immortals, they would be afraid, but they didn't know.
There is also the fact that ordinary people are generally very ignorant, there are very few literate people, it is easy to believe rumors, and it is easy to be instigated, but relatively, it is also easy to manage, for the ordinary people themselves, it is a little sad, and for the managers it is a mixed blessing.
The news from Zhao Hong spread in the city, becoming more and more exaggerated, and there was already an irrepressible trend.
I don't know when there were rumors that the castle would sacrifice the people of the whole city to appease the monsters.
Now that something like this has happened, it immediately touched the emotions of many people.
"Fight!"
Someone took the lead and rushed over, and someone immediately responded.
Immediately there was confusion at the gates.
The fighters guarding the convoy immediately drew their weapons.
"Don't come here, this convoy is guarded by immortals!
"Did you hear that? The immortals are all servants of the city lord to guard the goods, hahahaha!"
"We're smashing the car of the Immortal Guards!
As soon as the troubled holy warrior saw that the situation was not right, he immediately took out the axe behind his back, and it was useless to say anything now, kill a few more people, and they would naturally withdraw if they were afraid.
But he was only one man, and when he raised his axe and slaughtered the rioting civilians on one side, the other side had already rushed to the side of the vehicle, and everyone pushed and shoved the truck over.
The face of the holy warrior who caused the trouble changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around to help the truck.
The truck shook, but the cargo inside suddenly moved and squeaked.
At this time, there was a person who was hiding in the crowd to watch the excitement suddenly brightened up.
"I've heard that before...... Could it be...... No, I'll have to find a way to take a look, and if it's true, then I'll have done a great job this time!"
He looked at the convoy, the ordinary people had begun to shake because of the killing of the holy warriors, and some people who were not involved were watching the excitement outside while discussing.
"Is he really an immortal? He doesn't look like those warriors. ”
"No, can an immortal do such a thing? Surely not an immortal. ”
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the man peeking on the side: "Now is a good opportunity, they are so tightly protected, even the holy warriors come to guard the vehicle, only eight or nine are that thing, now this good opportunity is missed, and when the other holy warriors in the convoy come, I can't get close, so I can't check it." ”
So he sneaked into the ordinary people who were rushing towards the convoy, and slowly approached the holy warrior.
The holy warrior guarding the vehicle was also careless, he never expected that there would be a strong man at the level of a holy warrior mixed in this group of rioting people.
The disguised holy warrior hid his figure behind the crowd and slowly approached the holy warrior guarding the vehicle.
The holy warrior guarding the vehicle picked up his axe and slashed to death a man who lunged at him, and his eyes fell on the body of the disguised holy warrior.
Once a person becomes a warrior, he will be different from ordinary people.
Ordinary people may not be easy to see, but people who have been in contact with warriors all year round, and then learn some skills, they can detect the strength of the other party from the clues, of course, these things can be hidden, for example, after learning some secret methods, similar to Zhao Hong's "Sorrowful Thorns" secret method, it is to hide strength.
Then there's makeup.
Similar to Zhao Hong's current outfit, the kind of skeleton battle pattern that looks hideous and terrifying, in addition to intimidating opponents and expressing his determination to fight, also has a little bit of a role in hiding strength, but the effect is not too big, if you look closely, you can still see the clues.
The disguised holy warrior hid his figure behind the crowd, and the holy warrior guarding the vehicle was stunned when he saw him after killing a person.
Although the disguised holy warrior was wearing a thick leather coat and deliberately lowered the leather hat on his head to cover himself tightly, it could be seen at a glance from his body movements that this was definitely a warrior.
For a moment, an idea flashed through his mind.
"This person is a warrior, and his strength is very good, those weak people can't see how strong I am, come up to die, does he also come to die voluntarily?"
Just when the holy warrior guarding the convoy was stunned, the disguised holy warrior pulled out a short knife out of nowhere, and slashed at the holy warrior guarding the convoy.
The holy warriors guarding the convoy also reacted at this time.
"No! he's a holy warrior!"
At the last moment, the holy warrior guarding the convoy hurriedly used the life force on his body and condensed it on his axe.
"Dangchang!"
The weapons collided, and the axe parried the short knife.
All this actually happened in a short moment, and the holy warrior guarding the convoy secretly rejoiced in his heart, it was so dangerous, if he was a little slower, he was cut on the head of the flesh and blood by the short knife that was entwined with life force, and he was attacked without any preparation, not to mention the holy warrior, even the strong man in the realm of rejuvenation is estimated to have died.
But the holy warriors guarding the convoy rejoiced too soon.
