Chapter 27: One Against Many

Becrolle attacked Fein with a mace, and the mercenaries of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment saw that their leader had taken the lead in the charge, and immediately picked up all kinds of weapons and followed.

In an instant, except for the two archers of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, all the rest of the mercenaries followed Bekrol's pace and killed Finn.

"My lord, it's dangerous!" Seeing a dozen or so mercenary strong men kill Finn together, Arroyo immediately shouted at Finn nervously, for fear that Finn would suddenly have a cataract and not see a detail that made his heart tight.

That detail is that Becrolle and the two mercenaries on the left and right beside him suddenly stretched out their right hands at the same time to touch a throwing axe on their waists on the way to Finn.

The next moment, Becrolle and the two mercenaries beside him coldly pulled out the axe hanging from their waist and threw it at Finn.

"Oh no, my lord, he didn't find out about the despicable methods of these mercenaries!" Arroyo couldn't help but cover his eyes, the young thief who followed Finn could almost think of the tragic image of Finn being hit by an axe.

While Arroyo was in despair, Arya quickly removed two crossbows from her belt.

The witcher's keen eye was able to clearly capture and predict the trajectory of the three axes flying in the air.

Although she didn't understand why Finn planned to single-handedly take on the entire Black Tiger Mercenary Group, she believed that as long as she was fast enough, she might be able to use magic arrows to knock down all three axes from mid-air before Finn was hit by the axe.

However, just as Arya was about to come to Finn's aid, Finn's body suddenly moved.

In his previous life, Finn had dealt with many mercenaries. As for the mercenary, a combat method that uses a flying axe to remote the Yin before close combat, he had already learned countless times in countless battles in his previous life.

When Finn saw Beckrol and the mercenaries rushing towards him, he kept an eye on their movements.

When he saw Beckrol and the two mercenaries beside him pull out the throwing axe from their waists, he did not hesitate to swing the giant sword in his hand and slash at Beckero and his mercenaries.

The wind blade suddenly deflected the three axes that the mercenaries had thrown at Finn, and the axes then swirled and flew elsewhere.

Becroll, on the other hand, and the two mercenaries standing side by side with him, were caught off guard and were hit head-on by the wind blade that Finn slashed with the Whistling Blade.

"Damn, how would he know I was going to sneak up on him with a throwing axe?!" Becrolle felt a sharp pain coming from his ribs, and the leader of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment suddenly choked on a mouthful of blood in his throat, and raised his chin to look at Finn with a hellish expression.

Then, Becrolle and the two mercenaries beside him immediately let out three muffled snorts, and were knocked to the ground by the wind blade.

"Commander?!" The mercenaries of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group subconsciously moved their gaze to Beckrol, who fell to the ground.

"Leave me alone!" Becrolle fell to the ground, raised his hand at Finn, and roared with red eyes, "Kill him!" Kill that paladin for me! Fast! ”

As the words fell, Becrolle clutched his ribs and barely sat up with a mace.

The mercenaries of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment glanced at their leader, and then continued to roar and rush towards Finn.

Whirling Blade's Wind Blade skill must consume one charge to cast. Finn had just used the Wind Blade to knock away the axe that Becclor had thrown at him, and the greatsword in his hand was now devoid of the magic charge that he could cast the Wind Blade.

Therefore, Finn looked at the mercenaries rushing towards him, and this time he did not use other superfluous tricks, but directly picked up the giant sword in his hand and counterattacked the mercenaries in front of him face to face.

The mercenaries were shocked when they saw that Finn had rushed towards them instead of running away.

They almost thought Finn was crazy.

"A young paladin who has never even heard of his name really wants to challenge our entire Black Tiger Mercenary Group single-handedly?"

"What if he's a Templar? Who gave him the courage ?! ”

"No one in sight!"

"Kill yourself!"

After a brief moment of consternation, the mercenaries quickly came to a consensus in their hearts that Finn was dying.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to a close distance, and the two mercenaries at the front of the group were the first to spear Finn, who swung his whistling blade forward at the same moment.

A second later, two successive sounds, "pound" and "pound", erupted between the three weapons, and the whistling blade directly and brutally slashed the spearheads of the two spears off the shafts of the spears, and the two mercenary spearmen suddenly breathed and broke out in a few cold sweats on their backs.

However, Finn let the blade of the greatsword sweep in front of the two mercenary spearmen, but he didn't stop the swing of the sword.

After discarding the weapons of the two mercenary spearmen, Finn made the greatsword spin rapidly in a counterclockwise direction, centered on his body.

Finn let the Whistling Blade rotate around himself while quickly pressing towards the strong men of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment, and the rotating blade was swung by Finn's 22 terrifying power, and soon slashed at the two mercenary spearmen just now with a round of crescent moon swing trajectory.

The two mercenary spearmen immediately showed frightened expressions on their faces, and they subconsciously wanted to take a step back with two broken spears in their hands.

However, Finn's blade was much faster than theirs.

Only two scalp-numbing bloody sounds were heard, and the side blades of the Whistling Blade slashed the necks of the two mercenary spearmen with Finn's terrifying brute force, and the severed necks of the two headless corpses were bloody, and then fell weakly at Finn's feet.

After slashing out the two Black Tiger mercenaries closest to him in one fell swoop, Finn let the Whistling Blade continue to rotate at a high speed around him, while squeezing the remaining mercenaries with skillful and fast steps.

At first, the mercenaries of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment wanted to take advantage of the strength of the crowd to quickly kill Finn, but they soon found that once any of them broke into the attack range of Finn's greatsword, there would be no more than two of them.

Either the flesh and blood are flying and crippled for life, or the head is tilted up and the life is whimpering.

For a moment, Finn, who kept spinning with the giant sword, was invincible, and the arc space with the length of the giant sword as the radius suddenly became a vacuum area that no one dared to approach.

"It's a whirlwind slash!" Becrolle sat on the ground trembling all over, his eyes almost popping out, "This kid is still a high-level warrior!" ”

It is a high-level skill that a warrior has advanced to a specialty that he or she is eligible to learn.

On the surface, this terrifying combat technique seems to be just grabbing a weapon and spinning at high speed with itself as the center, but Becrolle knows that high-level warriors can notice many details when they use Whirlwind Slash that ordinary warriors are not aware of.

In the process of how to rotate the weapon at high speed, it is better to use huge power to ensure the attack frequency, speed and hit rate, use the weapon to block the enemy's attack, and maintain the orderliness of the footsteps so that you can adjust your position at any time......

On the battlefield, a high-level warrior who is proficient in the use of the Whirlwind Slash skill is like a humanoid meat grinder that can move freely, and those who can further advance the Whirlwind Slash skill to the Juggernaut can achieve the feat of rivaling an army with one person.

With the gods on top, Magdaru's old fox told them all the Black Tiger mercenaries in advance that they only needed to help kill a man who had no resistance to them, and promised that it would be a simple task that would not be difficult.

And yet, the young paladin who had already killed several of their brothers had already killed them, and this is what the Duke said, "It's not difficult"?!

To hell with it!

"Run! We are no match for this monster! Everyone, run! ”

Realizing the difference in strength between Finn and the mercenaries, Bekrol, as the leader of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, suddenly completely disregarded his face and loudly gave the order to the mercenaries who were still alive to retreat.

Beccolor admits that he would love to take the bounty from Magdaru that would allow him to live a life of luxury, but he doesn't want himself and his brothers in the mercenary group to lose their lives for a huge sum of money that has not yet arrived.

Not at all!

At Becroll's order, the will of the few mercenaries who were still alive finally collapsed completely, and the guys, who had been frightened by Finn, turned around and fled in extreme horror while cursing the words "monster" and "devil" in their mouths.

After noticing that the morale of the mercenaries had been completely weakened, Finn did not intend to continue the pursuit, so he followed the spinning inertia and put the whistling blade to his side, stopped the movement of the spinning greatsword and stood in place, and then watched the mercenaries who were waiting for him gradually escape from his field of vision.

The battle ended with the retreat of all the surviving members of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment.

Finn held the giant sword in both hands, stood straight and looked at the distant back of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, then lowered his head to look at several human corpses lying at his feet, and several system prompts then emerged from below his vision as he expected:

[You single-handedly defeated a team with an average level of two levels or less than yours and at least 10 units]

[Achievement: One against the Many]

[Get Reward: XP +1000]

In addition to not wanting them to get injured in the melee, another reason why Finn prevented Arroyo and Arya from supporting him was to get this achievement reward.

When the Paladin level reaches level 5, Finn needs to pay another 1,600 XP to further increase his Paladin level to level 6, so 1,000 XP is a very good reward for him at this point.

As for the mercenaries he had just killed?

For these mercenary killers who can sell their conscience and take people's lives for money without the slightest hesitation and repentance, Fein has no intention of showing mercy from the beginning.

He knew that his profession was that of a paladin, not a virgin.

Finn was willing to lend a helping hand to his companions in trouble, but he didn't mind letting his hands take a few more lives in the face of enemies who were clearly hostile to him.

"Finn, you're too messy!" Seeing that the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment had fled, Arya and Lilith hurried to Finn's side.

"Yes, my lord, you made us worry about death just now." Arroyo also ran after Arya and Lilith.

"I'm sorry to worry you." Finn looked at Arya, Arroyo, and Lilith and smiled with an apologetic expression on his face, "My swordsmanship just now is only suitable for me to fight alone, and I was afraid of accidentally hurting you, so I refused your help." ”

"Your swordsmanship? You mean- Whirlwind Slash?! Arya thought back to Finn's battle and was startled.

"I heard a former warrior friend of mine mention that the Whirlwind Slash is an advanced combat skill that can only be learned by high-level fighters." Arroyo scratched his cheeks, his eyes widening, "My lord, are you still a high-ranking warrior?" ”

"Hmm...... Strictly speaking, I'm not a high-level warrior, and the whirlwind slash skill is only a little bit better, and many details of the skill are far from those of a real high-level warrior. Finn explained, "However, although I only know a little about how to use the Whirlwind Slash, it is enough to deal with the third-rate mercenaries of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment. ”

With that, Finn smiled at Arya and Arroyo and stopped talking about it.

Of course, Finn doesn't actually know how to whirlwind slash - at least he doesn't have a whirlwind slash ability in the skills section of his character's stats panel.

The set of skills he used against the Black Tiger Mercenary Group just now was just a gourd he drew like a gourd, and learned it from a high-level warrior player in his previous life who often went to the arena with him to plant flags and duels.

As for the real Whirlwind Slash?

Please, this kind of high-level skill unique to warriors, if he can use it before the part-time warrior profession as a holy warrior, then there will be a ghost.

"But, then again......" After marveling at Finn's previous performance, Arya looked down at the corpses of several mercenaries at Finn's feet, and frowned slightly.

"I see what you mean." Finn nodded knowingly.

The laws of Auroras give everyone the right to defend themselves, and even if Finn is taken into the dungeon by the sheriff for intentional homicide, as long as Jefferson and several miners, who witnessed the incident, are willing to testify to Finn's innocence as witnesses.

However, there had just been a skirmish in the Melol Pits, and several people had died, and the matter had to be reported to the Apocalypse City Hall.

Therefore, Finn searched out a few silver coins from the corpses of several mercenaries, disarmed all the weapons that had not been completely damaged by their corpses and put them into the empty pocket, and then discussed the aftermath of the incident with Jefferson, the uncle in charge of the Melol Mine, and finally decided that Jefferson would report the incident to the city hall as the person in charge of the mine and a witness to the incident.

"Glens." After talking to Jefferson, Finn looked sideways at the main victim of the incident, Glens, the bearded man with a bleeding shoulder.

"Finn, thank you for saving me." Glens looked at Finn, his eyes full of gratitude, "Say, do you need me to help you?" I am always willing to repay you for this kindness, as long as you ask for it that I can do. ”

"Bandage the wounds, and then you can come back to Aurora with us first." After a while, Finn thought for a moment, took out a bandage from his empty pocket and threw it to Glens, "Your business, let's go back and talk slowly." ”
