Chapter 3: The Count of 'The Dragon is Coming'
The psychological impact of ending an intelligent life at close range in this way is huge, but compared with one's own life, it doesn't matter.
Obviously, the night raiders have no mercy on them, and if Charlie doesn't make a quick decision, then after killing the mercenaries, she will be doomed.
Without a sneak attack, an ordinary person would not be able to defeat an attacker who was clearly a martial artist.
Still, Charlie's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Only by desperately thinking about the life she saved a mercenary can I think calmly, and not waste time standing here hesitantly.
With a ruthless hand, she grabbed the black shadow cloak from the corpse of the dead, ripped it off and wrapped it around herself.
There was also a small crossbow under the cloak, but it was only a bolt with a dark green sheen.
Captured crossbows replaced silver daggers.
Then, Charlie raised his hand and tightened the shadow cloak wrapped around him, the tension causing her to ignore the touch of cold, damp blood coming from the skin on her neck.
But she didn't have time to think about it, and Charlie trembled and pulled his hood to cover his appearance.
She crept back behind the curtain where a big hole had been broken.
From the broken place, Charlie carefully spied on the battle outside.
The fighting in the camp was chaotic.
Most of the tents were burning, and it was clear that the fighting had been fierce.
The mercenaries are fighting with the raiders, and the mercenaries, who have been caught off guard, have reformed their counterattack formation, and the situation is developing in their favor.
Among them, the fiercest battle is the two magicians who are fighting, and most of the burning tents and frozen trees are from their 'handiwork'.
The red-haired girl and one of the magicians in the shadow cloak took the middle of the camp, wielding their staffs and wildly unleashing one magic after another.
The two sides are fighting back and forth, and the other mercenaries in the physics department will have a hard time leaning in to help even if they have their hands free, because they are exhausted enough to dodge the accidental damage of those splashes of magic.
Fireball vs. Ice, Water Polo vs. Upwind Blade......
Each collision of magic would cause a roar of spell blasts, and the ground would tremble slightly.
Half of the tents and supplies in the camp were also accidentally injured by these collisions and splashed magic, and the battle damage was unknown.
But at this time, no one pays attention to those, the outcome of the duel between the two magicians will greatly affect the situation of the battle, and the surviving magician will undoubtedly launch a deadly 'sweep' of the enemy.
'Think of a way,' Charlie bit his thumb and his fingertips were racing.
But no matter what, there is no escaping the fact that danger often comes with benefits, and she cannot think of a safe and risk-free way to achieve her goals under the current conditions.
This sudden attack made the soul in Charlie's body that belonged to Jiang Mianmian realize once again how indispensable it was to survive in this world by gaining extraordinary power.
She must complete the quest to get the reward of the Ain Stone!
After searching for the incomplete memories of the original owner, she finally came up with a crazy plan in the light of light.
Once the plan is successful, the mercenary team will gain an absolute advantage.
Charlie clenched the captured small crossbow, and his whole body trembled a little with nervousness under the shadow cloak.
Her hands pressed against her throat, she made a strange sound, and shouted in a loud voice, "The dragon is coming!! ”
"The dragon is coming!!!
In this world of dragons, this is what people would never be able to joke about.
The arrival of the dragon is a very terrible thing in this world, and no one will joke about it or lie about the military situation, because the consequences will be very terrible.
The destructive power of the dragons is staggering, and it takes them less than ten minutes to destroy a city-state.
The casualties caused were tens of thousands.
So, no one here is going to joke about dragons coming.
The last idiot who made such a nasty joke led to the destruction of a town.
Jiang Mianmian is not from this world, so he has no common sense of this world.
She shouted several times in a hurry, high-pitched, and it sounded like a dragon screaming under imminent attack.
The effect was immediate, no one had time to think, it was like an 'air raid' was coming, and people rushed to the ground.
Both the mercenaries and the people in the shadow cloaks who attacked them all fell to the ground in panic, and next to the 'bunker' was an embarrassed 'donkey rolling' who hid behind the bunker and hid with his head in his hands.
The opportunity is here.
Charlie's small crossbow was aimed at the enemy mage who was lying on the ground holding his head to protect him, and fired an arrow with a 'boom'.
Lying on the ground, the shadow mage of the human empire who believed in the dragon god Bahamut sheltered the camp did not wait for the dragon's attack, but waited for a poisonous arrow that brought death.
After about five breaths, these people who were crawling on the ground like ants raised their heads in disbelief.
Dragons are often accompanied by a lot of movement.
They hadn't noticed the excitement of the fight just now, but now the whole audience was quiet, and there was no other movement from the quiet night breeze and the occasional 'crackling' sound of the flames burning with the supplies.
People looked up at the night sky in unison.
There was nothing in the sky but bright stars.
Where did the dragon come from?!
Who shouted first?
Damn it!
Crazy?!
The people who reacted stood up and threw themselves at the enemies around them, continuing the battle just now, but these people were crazy in their hearts.
And the red-haired girl in the middle also stood up smartly to guard the direction of her opponent.
As a result, the red-curly-haired mage girl was sluggish.
Because, her opponent seems to be ...... He's dead?!
There was no time to think carefully about the cause and effect, the teammates around her were still fighting hard, and the red-curly-haired girl burst out one after another with a burst of fireball techniques, sweeping away the remaining shadow cloak attackers.
The mage began to 'clear the field', and the battle ended in a short time.
At the same time, Charlie's eyes are confronted with the task of settling the reward.
[Available: 1 Ain Stone.] Excess Reward: 1 Ain Stone. 】
Ecstasy was in her mind, but now was not the time, she could only hold back the strong urge in her heart to 'unpack the express', and refocus her attention on the battlefield that was entering the end.
The last of the Shadow Cloak Man was struck by the Fireball Spell and transformed into a running flaming 'Torch Man', wailing and rolling in an attempt to extinguish the mage's flames, but the flames were not extinguished until he died.
Charlie, who witnessed everything, shuddered, feeling that he might not have the appetite for barbecue for a short time.
After dealing with the enemy, the mercenaries were all in Charlie's tent to inspect, apparently more worried about the life or death of their employer than their own injuries.
However, when they lifted the broken tent, they saw an innocent faceless man crouched on the ground wrapped in a shadow cloak, as well as a strange corpse, and a companion who was crushed unconscious and seriously injured under the corpse.
The mercenaries moved in unison, and they all raised their weapons in unison and aimed them at the man in the shadow cloak.
Charlie was momentarily stunned, but soon she reacted and calmly voiced, "It's me."
A mercenary raised his broadsword in his hand in disbelief, stepped forward cautiously, and quickly lifted the shadow hood.
Under the hood showed the young count's somewhat ruddy face.
The mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief and laid down their weapons.
It's great that their employer is still alive.
A team of 7 mercenary squads, except for one who was slandered and unconscious, the others had some injuries on their bodies.
The mage girl, whose face was pale due to overcasting, strode forward and lifted the shadow cloak on Charlie, who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, I saw a small crossbow without arrows.
"It's you! Are you shouting right!? You shouted 'The dragon is coming', right!? The magician's voice was a little high-pitched with excitement.
Charlie raised her hand and rubbed her nose, she wanted to be a 'little angel' who did good deeds without leaving a name.
But the next flip was a bit big, and the mage girl screamed, "Ah!! You are crazy! It's crazy, isn't it? What are you doing with this kind of lie?! You're going to curse you, this madman! ”
The spirits of another world cannot understand that the 'story of the dragon is coming' is a terrible thing in this world, and no one will tell such a lie, even if it is like the crisis just now.
The mercenaries' expressions were a little jealous, and they whispered.
Charles heard them say, 'The Earl who told forbidden lies'.
The men were looking at her with the eyes of a heretic.
So, the words she wanted to explain were choked in her throat.
In the end, it was the head of the mercenaries, the scarface who said in a deep voice: "Okay, this matter is over, take a look at Serge." He doesn't look very good. ”
The mercenaries began to deal with the follow-up and carried away the corpse to bury it, otherwise the smell of blood would attract wild beasts.
Inventory of supplies, re-erection of tents, and treatment of the wounded......
Everything is well organized.
It's just that they all avoided the young earl, as if they were hiding from an 'alien'.
Charlie was aggrieved and didn't feel like he had done anything wrong at that time.
At this time, only the golden glittering big words that only she can see in front of her can warm her heart a little.
Soon, the mercenaries pushed out a squad of aggrieved young men to the earl.
The young man, who had several wounds wrapped in white bandages, said hesitantly: "Your manservant unfortunately died in this attack, and the maid was injured, and it is difficult to survive 3 days without treatment, you ...... What does it mean? ”
Charlie took a deep breath, didn't care about the mercenary's look at him, got up and patted the dust on his body, "Take me to see." ”
The maid was placed by the mercenaries next to the body of the manservant whose body was accidentally injured by the ice spell and frozen, and then shattered.
Apparently, the mercenaries did not think that the young count would be able to save the poor woman.
And most of their magic potions were destroyed by the two mages who 'showed their strength' fighting skills.
The mercenary squad's own injured members could only hastily bundle gauze, not to mention the expensive magic medicine for one of the earl's servants.
Charlie saw that the maid was still alive, and her elder's freckled face was dirty, with tears of despair, and mud.
She lay on the ground, next to a pile of corpses, waiting to die and then be buried.
Charlie's gaze looked down.
The maid's stomach was torn, but fortunately the internal organs did not flow out, but the blood did not stop, although the gauze had been tied, but obviously, the gauze was also dyed crimson at this time, and the blood was still flowing slowly.
Charlie rolled up her sleeves a little, and she said coldly to the young mercenary who hated not to stay away from her, "Give me a needle and thread." I'm going to try to save her. ”
The young mercenary couldn't understand what the Count meant, who had lied about the dragon's attack and told the forbidden lie, but he ran to tell their captain what the Scarface Count wanted.
Fortunately, these trivial things are always preserved.
The fiery red-haired magician girl sent a needle and thread, and she watched the count's movements with vigilance, but there was also curiosity in her eyes.
Jiang Mianmian, who had only done cross-stitch before crossing, took a deep breath, and kept thinking in his heart, it's okay, just treat it as a rag doll......
Then, she took off the gauze and said coldly to the magician who was watching carefully behind her, without looking back, "You get the fire out." ”
Ignoring the chattering of the magician, Charlie burned the needle on the fire she had made, and then, stunned by the sorceress, pierced the maid's belly with the needle, sewing up the terrible, bleeding wound for her.
