Chapter 12: Assault

The team continued to march towards Yinquan Valley, and the journey had already been completed by walking here, and if nothing else, it would be possible to get out of the big forest within two days, and then bypass the Eagle Grip Ridge to reach Yinquan Valley, and there would be more than ten days of travel. Silver Springs Valley is named after a mountain spring downstream where the Garcia family discovered a crystal mine in an underground cave. This crystal mine has been mined for more than a year now, and the crystals produced are of high clarity, pure color, and few impurities, making it the premier high-quality crystal mine in the entire Hanseatic Empire. Many Imperial mages take pride in owning a crystal ball made from crystals from Garcia's crystal mines, because the crystal balls produced here are used as a medium for various detection magics, manifestation magic, and even unsealing magic, and provide more than 20% more spell bonuses for casting spells than ordinary crystal balls. The detection distance is long, the range of development is wide, and the powerful functions make the crystal minerals in the Silver Spring Valley often in short supply.

Scott is still at the front of the team, as usual, and he has always been meticulous about this work, so his position in the team is quite important, and Scott's opinion is taken into account when making decisions on certain matters of the team.

The young warriors in the team were still unsatisfied with the battle between Jinli and Ibi that had just ended at noon, and there were still people analyzing and discussing the contest along the way. The discussion with his friends did not make Ibi unhappy in any way, on the contrary, he was quite grateful to Jinli for helping him to solve the shortcomings of his own skills, which he could not recognize in his own training.

Yi Hui didn't see the competition, but he learned a general idea by listening to the discussions of Garcia's guards, and he admired Jinli's style of play that was not limited to weapons and tricks, which reminded him of a sentence he had heard before: "There are no tricks to win." Yi Hui made up his mind to learn the thief subject from Scott and also ask Jinli about the fighting skills of a warrior. However, Yi Hui still doesn't have the idea of taking two professional qualifications at the same time, after all, he can't chew too much to chew, and he can't be distracted by his momentary interest to learn the knowledge of two subjects.

Yi Hui followed the group as he walked, fiddling with a level 1 practice lock in his hand. Yi Hui is already quite proficient in opening the level 1 practice lock, even if he carelessly acts on the road, he can quickly open a level 1 practice lock. With a "snap", the lock spring was opened by Yi Hui again, and Yi Hui buckled the lock again, picked up the thin wire and tossed it a few times, and the lock was opened again. There is no need to listen to the sound of the lock spring, Yi Hui can accurately judge whether the lock can be opened by feel.

"Enemy attack!" Scott's warning suddenly came from ahead, and the whole team stopped, and the warriors tied their pack horses to the trunk of the nearest tree, quickly drew their weapons and formed a battle formation, protecting Mr. Merrim in the center of the group. Yi Hui shoved the Level 1 practice lock into the blanket on the pack horse, and the sword of Doran appeared in his hand with a thought.

"Mr. Merim, as long as I live, I will not let the enemy hurt you in the slightest." Occam unloaded his large tower shield from his pack horse and placed it in his right hand, and he stood in front of Mr. Merim with the shield, the wide shield covering the two men.

Mr. Merim was very calm and said lightly: "Everything is up to you." Yi Hui saw carefully, at this moment, Mr. Merim was holding a small wand in his hand, was Mr. Merim actually a mage?

Scott returned to the group from the trunk of the tree, a puff of feathered arrows followed Scott, and Ibi, who was standing at the front of the group, blocked one with a small shield on his left arm, and also used his sword to open one, and the rest of the arrows were stopped by the warriors one by one, and several arrows were nailed to the trunk, and the tail of the arrow swung violently.

"30 people, robbers, there were about 10 archers, 5 heavily armored warriors, and the rest were light armor. Ambushed in the forest a hundred meters ahead, fortunately found it in time. Scott briefed Occam on the enemy's situation.

"Good work, get ready to fight." Occam gave the battle order to the team.

Yi Hui immediately activated the passive skill of "Invisible Wings", and after two seconds, he disappeared into the air like a cloud of steam. Garcia's guards gasped when they saw this miraculous concealment, this was too cruel, and disappeared in place.

Jin Li casually pulled out his two-handed greatsword and swung it a few times to warm up, and then slammed the sword on the ground diagonally, waiting for the enemy to appear. Shiebel took a deep breath with one of his arrows on his bow, then calmly looked at the end of the road, ready to shoot at any moment.

Now that it was discovered, there was no need for the other party to hide anymore, and the bushes in front of him shook and a team appeared in front of Yi Hui's eyes. The team was ragged and poorly armed, and it was a beggar's army compared to the brightly clad Garcia family guard. But these people have hideous expressions, fierce eyes, and a gangster spirit rushing to their faces, and they don't need to ask to know that these people are doing some "business without capital." "The leader was a big man wearing a steel plate cuirass and holding a mace, this big man had only one eye left, and the other eye socket was empty, and a scar more than an inch long and an inch deep pierced through the eye socket and ran through half of the big man's face.

"Listen to the people in front, I am the one-eyed Libby, if you know each other, lay down your arms, hand over the valuable things, and I can be merciful and let you live. If you resist, the chicken dog will not stay, don't blame me for not explaining the consequences in advance. The one-eyed Libby pretended to be heroic in pronouncing his robbery opening words, but these words always felt a little verbose to Yi Hui's ears.

Loretta and the other "dark rat" trio hide in Libby's team and observe, but they can't find Yi Hui's whereabouts. "Strange, where did that sword-wielding kid go?" This is the plan that Carey came up with: since as a thief group, you can't directly rob the mission target, then ask a professional bandit gang to rob it, even if something happens, the robber group has nothing to do with him. After the robbery by the bandit group, the "dark rat" trio found Yi Hui to get the sword of Dolan, and even if the task was completed, the account would be counted on the bandit group, which can be described as unaware.

The bandit team they invited was called the "Timberwolves", and the bandit led by it happened to be Gabi's cousin Libby, and the "dark rat" told Libby about the whereabouts of the Garcia family, and Libby showed a strong interest in the robbery. When Lauretta raised the issue of the "Timberwolves" being responsible for the robbery, Libby immediately agreed, he naturally had more lice and didn't worry about more debts, and he was responsible for it, anyway, there were countless cases with blood on his hands, and there were not many of them. Just when the plan was being implemented, the "dark mouse" lost the whereabouts of Yi Hui's target task.

Faced with the bandits' blockade, the Garcia family guard did not take the initiative to attack. And the robbers are obviously not ready to stop there, they are doing some dirty and obscene movements, while shooting a few feather arrows 18 people against 30 people, this battle is not easy to fight, Occam watched the robbers grin and provocatively clenched the shield in his hand. "Shrink the defense, shield bearers in the front row, javelins ready, bows and arrows ready." Occam gave a series of defensive orders to the warriors, and he did not dare to slack off at this time, and sometimes the victory or defeat of a battle of dozens of people happened in an instant.

At this time, something unexpected happened, and Jin Li swaggered between the two teams with a big sword. He pointed at the bandit leader Libby with his sword, and shouted loudly: "You, big man, do you dare to fight me alone?" A contest between warriors? ”

Hearing Jinli's challenge, the two groups reacted differently. Garcia's side was in a state of excitement, and the young fighters applauded Kinley's bravery, and they were looking forward to seeing a good fight. Occam had a gloomy face, and Jinli's approach was obviously not in line with his guidelines, but at this time it was inconvenient for him to spoil Jinli's interest, and if he did, it would be a heavy blow to his morale. The robbers, on the other hand, laughed, believing that the emaciated red-haired Kinley was no match for the big Libby. Some people even encouraged Libby to take on this challenge, and give these rich men a little color, so that they know how powerful the "Timberwolves" bandit group is.

After flexing off his muscles, Libby walked to the center of the field with his wolf's tooth version, he accepted Jinli's challenge, his scarlet tongue licked his upper lip, and Libby launched a fierce attack on Jinli, and the huge mace attacked Jinli with a gust of vicious wind.

In terms of size alone, the fight between Libby and Jinli resembles a brown bear attacking a cheetah. However, Libby's attacks seemed ferocious but never really hit Jinli. Jinli was constantly maneuvering with Libby, dodging with a brisk pace. Several times, people thought that Libby's mace was about to hit Jinli, and Jinli narrowly avoided it, and the two-handed sword kept dragging behind Jinli, and Jinli didn't even use it to block once. Yi Hui remembered the painful look on Jin Li's face after completing the weapon maintenance in the weapon shop, it turned out that this thing was reluctant to use his sharp sword to collide with the opponent's crude mace because he wanted to leave the expensive weapon maintenance costs.

"Whoahahaha......" Libby smirked and waved his mace again and again, his mighty gesture drawing loud applause from a group of robbers. The escort team, on the other hand, watched Jinli's dodge pace intently, dodging the timing, and secretly applauded in his heart.
