056 Notch
The place where the few people were was was probably on the edge of a sparse forest, and not far from the road ahead, lush trees were scattered scattered across the flat ground, and then gradually increased as the distance increased, and slowly concentrated in the farther places, piecing together a terrain called the woods. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but even so, the scale of the forest is still much inferior to the former Emerald Forest, so people's eyes can still see through the wide gap between the trees, and see the appearance of more distant places.
Now there, it's already filled with figures.
In front of the convoy, some shouts of battle and screams of people before they died could already be heard. In the carriages of several carriages in the rear, more people came out of it one after another. The merchants were clearly incapable of fighting, so their loud shouts were filled with panic and panic, and as they gathered to find a safe place, they begged the guards for help, hoping that they would keep themselves safe. Then they were taken by a guard to the cracks in the middle of the carriages, some of which had been removed from the carriages and temporarily stacked there, forming a relatively rudimentary position.
Subsequently, several players also received the same invitation, or rather command.
"Go to the middle of the convoy, it's safer there."
While the others were still hesitating, Duan Qing had already pulled Mengzhu and started to move forward: "Let's go." β
"Hey, you're not going to help ......"
"You're underestimating Kidd." Duan Qing said quietly: "Trust him and his subordinates, it's no problem to fight a few bandits." β
Probably...... No problem. He added in his heart.
The convoy, which had stopped, was not long, and after a few steps, they came to the temporary front in the center. Several large boxes were placed in a mess, and behind them were a number of cowering non-combatants, sometimes nervously looking around, sometimes looking up to the heavens in prayer, not knowing which god of the free world they were praying, and a few of them would poke their heads out to look ahead, which was the direction from which the main sound of battle came.
Duan Qing and a few other adventurers also turned over from the side of the box and occupied a corner in the small place. Duan Qing sighed, sat on the ground, leaned his back against the box, and then realized that one of the people who came in was missing.
"Why don't you come in?" The height of the big box was just enough for him to show a head when he straightened up, and Duan Qing was emerging from behind the box at this time, looking at the player called Baili Duyou who was continuing to walk forward, leaving the rest of them with a back under long hair.
"I'm going to fight." Baili Duyou said when he heard it. His figure stopped, but he didn't turn around, just tilted his head and looked at the others in the box array with what he called a sharp gaze.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you......" said the head behind the box slowly, "If you go, you may not be able to come back." β
"Hmph." Baili Duyou, who no longer paid attention to Duan Qing, turned around and left, and his voice gradually faded away as he walked forward: "I don't want to ...... Live as if you were protected. β
The figure of the black robe gradually moved away, and the clothes fluttered with it, and after Baili Duyou finished saying this, he left everyone's sight with a long sword on his back. The shouting and killing in front of him continued, and even became more and more intense. Duan Qing shook his head, then sat down again.
"Hey, uncle......" The little girl's voice came at the right time: "We are like this...... He...... That person, will it be okay? β
"I've been reminded." Duan Qing spread his hands and made a helpless look: "It's his business if he wants to pretend to be forced, will he die......"
He smiled: "How do I know. β
For the rest of the day, the remaining players and the merchants sat quietly on their sides. On either side of the box, Kidd still left one or two people as guards to protect the people in between. However, Duan Qing felt that the people who stayed here had almost no other help except for shouting a few words when something happened to them, and when they looked at it from a distance before, the number of those bandits was already incalculable, if there were really bandits who touched it, it would be impossible to hold it with only two people and this pile of boxes.
But it didn't take long for him to retract the idea. Because in the crowd sitting there, he saw GuzmΓ‘n's figure.
Well, with such an old guy here, nothing should happen......
The sound of swords clashing in front of him continued, but the flow of time slowed down a little, and although the players in the box array were not afraid of death, since they chose not to participate in the battle, they began to feel a little bored in this feeble waiting. Meng Zhu had nothing to do, and began to think about the future again, Duan Qing observed the movements of the others, and then found that the bearded uncle who was silent in the car, holding a shield that he didn't know where he got it, sat there looking a little nervous.
"Hey, this ......" Duan Qing looked up at his ID: "Uncle Butcher, why are you nervous, relax, it's just a big deal......
"Oh, hehehehe, I'm a little ......" The smiling butcher smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "I've been ...... for a long time Uh, I'm not very good at fighting, so ......"
"You're not good at fighting? That also mixed up the novice village? It's a bit powerful......" Duan Qing said.
"Ah, that's because ......" Maybe it was because the chat made the uncle relax, he loosened the shield in his arms and scratched his head with one hand: "I've been playing for a long time......"
"That's right...... Are you going out alone to Fenghua Town? β
"Yes...... Oh, yes. The head-scratching stopped, and then he began to rub his hands again.
"Uncle doesn't look like a person who plays games a lot."
"Yes, yes, I don't usually have too much time to play, so I ......"
"That's going to be difficult, it's been a long time coming, it's not easy to persevere......
"yes, ahahaha......" The two hands that were rubbing together were already clasped together.
"Speaking of which......" Duan Qing looked up at the sky: "I don't seem to have seen you get off the line much along the way......"
"Be careful! Get down, everybody! β
Outside the box array, the shouts of one of the guards were suddenly heard.
Mengzhu, who was immersed in longing, raised his head and looked around with blank eyes. However, before she could figure out the situation, her head was pressed down again by a large handβit was Duan Qing's hand.
With a whoosh, an arrow flew over the top of the box and plunged into the wood of the other chest. Something watery came out of the hole, presumably the contents of the box were liquid, broken by the arrow.
In the little girl's exclamation, Duan Qing motioned for everyone else to lean against the wall of the box here: "Do these bandits still have such advanced things?" β
"How do I know that! This world is dangerous......"
"It seems that the bandit is a very promising profession, do you want to think about it, everyone......" In the midst of the joke, Duan Qing quietly poked his head out from the back of the box, wanting to observe the situation outside.
Then, he heard a shout coming from ahead.
Several figures dressed in earthy brown clothes and dressed as standard bandits were screaming and rushing towards them. When Duan Qing saw it, they had already rushed out of the grass, turned over the gravel, and rushed onto the road. One of them slashed the guard who had been guarding that side before, but now fell to the ground with an arrow, and then commanded the remaining sword-wielding men to rush to the front of the wooden box.
The man in the front with a brown turban was about to stretch out his hand and turn over the wooden boxes, and then was slashed back by Duan Qing, who was hiding behind.
"Defense!" Duan Qing shouted loudly, and glanced at Guzman behind him by the way. The blindfolded old man was sitting there cross-legged, looking like an old god was there.
Secretly pursing his lips, Duan Qing had no choice but to face forward again: "Rely on defense!" β
There are only three or four players left, and although they are all people who have just come out of the novice village, there are not many options to make in the here and now. Everyone took out their weapons one after another, followed Duan Qing's example, stood behind the box, and greeted the rest of the bandits who rushed up.
Mengzhu was naturally one of them, she gritted her teeth and parried to block the big knife that was chopping, and she was also shocked back by the force from the dagger. Resisting the pain in her wrist, she was about to continue rushing forward to fill the gap she had exposed, when an arrow flew in her direction with the sound of breaking the air in front of her.
A thud slammed into her side, squeezing Yumetake out of her place. There was a muffled sound of arrows clashing with shields, and the little girl fell to the ground, and when she turned her head to look that way, the bearded uncle was standing in her place, trying to block the sword attacks in front of her.
It was the smiling butcher who held back his shield and blocked the flying arrow from earlier.
The bearded uncle didn't notice Mengzhu's gaze - he stared intently at the situation ahead, and the next moment, he raised his hand sharply and shook the knife on his left side back again.
The bearded uncle didn't seem to have any other weapons, and all he had was the shield in his hand. But the defense of the shield, behind the box array at this time, is quite obvious. The bandits must cross the wide wooden box in order to hand the sword in front of the player, whether it is a slash or a stab, its strength is exhausted, so it cannot be used to full power. And the shield used by the uncle completely eliminated the remaining trace of power and the threat posed by the bow and arrow.
In addition to using the big shield raised by the smiling butcher to protect themselves, the only thing that several players need to do is to let those bandits not cross the defense line formed by the box - the players present are all characters in their teens and twenties, although not all the attribute values are more reasonable, but the overall strength should not be too bad, and Mengzhu has demonstrated it himself just now, so they also know that the strength attributes of these bandits are relatively high, as long as they beware of this, don't go head-to-head with them, It's relatively easy to do this.
However, even if everyone didn't take it lightly, they finally let a bandit break in.
It was an accident that suddenly appeared after a few tricks were exchanged. After the smiling butcher stabbed the sword in front of him with a shield, a thief with a spear suddenly rushed forward, but instead of taking advantage of his long weapon to attack, he stabbed a shot into the wooden box in front of him.
The head of the gun entered his body, and with a loud shout, he picked up the whole wooden box.
The force of that moment was so great that the wooden box had already fallen apart in mid-air as it was provoked, and all kinds of goods inside were scattered all over the ground. The bandits in front did not rush to rob them, and the merchants behind did not have time to worry about the safety of their goods - their lives seemed to be on the verge of death.
The bandits at the front had already rushed in along the gap. And in this case, they still chose to let a member with a sword and a shield press first. The bandit was shorter than the others, and he held a sword in his right hand and a small leather shield in his left hand, except for a metal plate in the middle of the shield, which seemed to be made of animal skins on all sides. In order to maintain the aggressiveness, a number of spikes were also nailed around the surface of the shield. The bandit screamed, put the leather shield on his left hand in front of him, and slowly accelerated.
The spikes in the shield are at hand!
As he was about to cross the gap, the bandit screamed and jerked to one side, using all his strength on his left arm, knocking aside the shield that had been holding them in their way, opening the way forward. The thieves' shouts gradually turned into laughter, and they stood in the gap and raised their swords, and shook themselves in a swagger - when they had dealt with the last of the rebels, killed and looted at will, and then hijacked a carriage and left. If you're lucky, you might be able to keep the horses, and the robbery will go more smoothly and the leader will ......
Behind the reversing shield, a figure suddenly flashed out.
The short thief sneered in his heart, his body still maintained the posture of rushing forward, but the strength in his hand increased a few points. With his own strength, even the shield of full defense was pushed out by himself, not to mention the human body that wanted to block in front of him without authorization......
The man didn't have a shield in his hand, but he had a short sword...... Wait, he holds the sword in both hands? Is there any swordsmanship with two hands using a short sword?
The bandits didn't have time to think further.
The figure took a stride forward, clenching the dagger in both hands, and then lifted it from the bottom to the top.
With a muffled bang, the sword slashed diagonally under the leather shield, and the arm holding the leather shield swung upwards with the huge force of the explosion, and then backwards, driving the whole person of the short bandit, who was picked up by the sword and leaned back.
γDingγ
"Walk you!" Duan Qing let out a loud shout, and then slammed his foot on the chest of the person who came.
"Why didn't you give him a sword just now?" When the big shield rushed forward again and set it up in the gap, Mengzhu had a little free time, and asked Duan Qing with a breath.
"How can I have any remaining physical strength, I almost used up all my physical strength just now, and it is already the limit to be able to kick out a kick......" Duan Qing wiped his mouth, and then replied: "And there is a possibility that there will be problems with the mending knife, the difference in strength between the two sides is so big, if the action is slow, it will give the other party a chance to react......"
"Is there such a big gap between us?"
"Visually, the other party is at least at our level of thirty...... Don't look at that uncle carrying it easily, he is taking advantage of the big shield. Duan Qing blocked the attack handed over with a sword, and then slashed back with a backhand sword: "And this uncle shouldn't be simple, at least he has a lot of combat experience...... Be careful! β
In front of the wooden box, the bandit with the gun wanted to repeat the old trick and forked away a wooden box again. A few of them were quick to defend themselves against the gap that was about to be broken again, but their numbers were stretched thin - there were only four or five players in total.
At this moment, as a shout sounded, in the direction of the front of the convoy, a silver-glittering figure jumped out from the roof of the carriage in front, and slashed the big sword in his hand at the head of the spear-wielding bandit.
"Hu ......" Seeing the familiar bald head leading a few of his subordinates to kill back, Duan Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I just said how could you arrange such a strong battle, it turns out that you only need to hold out for a while......"
"That should be ...... It's all right. β
