Chapter 37: A Small Victory

After more than ten seconds of charging and reloading, the second wave of the dwarf cannon's attack has arrived. This time, the shells were made of ore shells, which shattered into egg-sized pieces when they flew out of the barrel, similar in function to shotshots, and aimed at the Adam's coalition forces crowded under the castle tower.

The scattered bullets carried the heat generated by the bursting magic array and dragged the long flame tail into the crowd, and there was a wail everywhere it passed, and the casualties caused by this wave of attacks amounted to more than 100 people.

"Run for your life......!" I don't know who shouted first, and the "Forest Poison Dragon" bandit group that had been rushing to the front began an irregular retreat, they dropped their weapons and ran towards the road where they came, and some even moved their hands against Adam's people who were blocking their escape.

As a bandit group, the "Forest Poison Dragon" originally did the business of taking advantage of the fire, and they saw that it was profitable to attack the Garcia fortress in Silver Spring Valley before they participated in a piece of the pie, and the power of this "dwarf cannon" was amazing, which brought them great mental pressure.

The robbers were originally a rabble, and it was okay to bully people, but this time they encountered the unheard of "dwarf cannon", and the fear of this unknown made them no longer have the courage to attack the city.

Adam sat in the pergola, and saw from a distance that the people of the "Forest Poison Dragon" in front of him had begun to disperse, and patted the armrest of the chair sitting under his buttocks hatefully, thinking that with more than 3,000 people and more than 1,000 people of the "Forest Poison Dragon" to attack the Silver Spring Valley fortress guarded by more than 500 people, it was as simple as a spring outing, but he didn't expect Quinn to move such a weapon here.

Seeing that the troops in front of them were scattered and could not be changed, and the discipline of the Garcia warriors under Adam made them stand still and wait for orders. So, as a result, the "Forest Dragon" clashed with Adam's troops.

"Get out of the way...... Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu! A "forest dragon" bandit with a one-eyed patch raised his machete at the Garcia warrior who was guarding the line and refused to give way.

Seeing that he was about to be slashed, Garcia warriors resisted with a shield and stabbed him with a backhand, resulting in a terrified and panicked bandit.

In other positions, several robbers broke through the line of Garcia warriors, and failed to break out of the valley but succeeded in destroying the orderliness of the battle line.

All kinds of chaotic situations, and the people brought by Adam were crushed. The powerful dwarf cannon had no intention of stopping, and it still roared above the heads of Adam's troops.

The facts of the battle prove Adam's ignorance of the war, and Adam makes two mistakes. First, he underestimated the strength of Quinn's side, and rashly launched a general attack without understanding Quinn's combat effectiveness. The second is the one-sided pursuit of the size of the army and the "Forest Poison Dragon" bandit group to join his command, commanding a demoralized and unfamiliar army to fight the vanguard, which eventually led to the collapse of morale and the inability to clean up.

At this time, Adam looked at the chaotic battlefield and didn't know what to do, he pointed to the bandit leader of the "Forest Poison Dragon" sitting next to him, Kaidi, and said angrily: "It's all your people who retreat without permission!" Disturbing the battlefield has caused such a chaotic situation, now you go and collect your people for me right now, right now! ”

Kaidi looked at Adam who was full of anger with gloomy eyes, slapped the saber in his hand on the table, and said through gritted teeth: "Adam, you have to make it clear that there is a cooperative relationship between us, and I Kaidi is not something you can dictate!" If it weren't for the face of the little stake in the Crystal Mine in Silver Spring Valley, do you think I would help you attack your brother? You asked Lao Tzu's subordinates to help you set up camp and I endured, you asked Lao Tzu's troops to rush to the front and I also endured, I Kaidi didn't read much but still understood a truth: there is no free bread in the world! Therefore, Lao Tzu still sent his brothers to rush to the front. Now that your brother has suddenly moved out with such a powerful weapon, Lao Tzu's army has lost more than 100 people, why, you still don't allow my brothers to retreat and send people to the front, do you want to take the life of Brother Lao Tzu to fill your Adam Garcia's wallet? ”

Adam was dumbfounded by Cady's words, he grabbed the arm of the chair with his left hand, pointed at Cady with his right hand and said incoherently, "You...... How dare you ......! ”

At this time, a man dressed as a mage in a robe sitting on Adam's right hand stood up, he gently supported Adam's trembling shoulder, and said: "Young Master Adam, now is not the time for infighting, our common enemy is still on the castle tower, although they have powerful weapons, but we still have the advantage in numbers. After speaking, he turned his head to Kaidi and continued: "Kaidi head, although the collapse of your department is understandable, it is not in our common interests. Please also gather your men and avoid clashes with our fighters, as every second of confusion will lead to more casualties. After all, we're in a partnership now. ”

After hearing this, Cady snorted coldly at Adam, waved his hand to a younger brother, and ordered: "Blow the rallying horn and gather the brothers at a safe distance." In addition, the command was given that no sword should be used against Adam's men. ”

After giving the order, Cady said to Adam: "Adam, I have now restrained my brothers, will you also open an opening for me to let my people withdraw first?" ”

Adam turned his head to the side and said to the robed magician, "Mr. Brido, you can do this." ”

Brido nodded, and found a Garcia warrior squad leader to give the order to open an opening for the "Forest Poison Dragon" to withdraw.

Quinn stood on the city tower, looking at the chaotic and slowly retreating Adam coalition army in the distance, with a smile on his face, he thought that he would fight a tough battle today to keep the mining area, but he didn't expect that dozens of dwarf cannons would have such a miraculous effect, and victory would come so suddenly and so easily.

The troops of the Adam coalition have not completely withdrawn from the effective range of the dwarf cannons, and the bombardment on the towers is still continuing, but with the retreat of the Adam coalition army, the results can no longer be expanded. Quinn's side was unable to pursue Adam's coalition with limited manpower, and the first hard-fought battle ended in the defeat of Adam's coalition. Hundreds of corpses were left on the battlefield.

Gilji triumphantly stroked the still steaming dwarf cannon, but he didn't expect to make such a lethal war weapon with reference to the principle of "cannon" casually mentioned by Yi Hui, which is a leap forward in the history of dwarf machinery.

After Adam's coalition retreated completely, Quinn's warriors sent more than 100 people out of the city to clean up the battlefield, collect useful arrows, weapons and other items, and pile up the corpses together to be activated on the spot.

After greeting Quinn, the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment also returned to their station, and Yi Hui distributed the gifts he brought to everyone. Among the gifts, Occam's heavy armor was the heaviest, and Occam would tremble when he took a step in this heavy armor made of a round-headed forging hammer. Kinley was overjoyed with his new two-handed broadsword, and Scott was pleased with his pair of jet-black daggers.

Scott has been managing the finances of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group all year round, and he knows that these pieces of equipment are expensive, so he couldn't help but ask Yi Hui: "Yi Hui, thank you very much for your gift, I like it very much." Can you tell me how the hell did you get that much money to buy this equipment, I know it's a bit expensive. ”

Yi Hui smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I killed a beast called 'White-headed Black-backed Ape' in the depths of the Black Forest, it is said that it is still at the lord level, and a beast core in my head was sold for tens of thousands of gold coins, but after buying your equipment, it is close to being spent."

When Occam heard that Yi Hui had killed a white-headed black-backed ape, his eyes widened when he knew a little about the monsters, and he said in disbelief, "What? Did you really do it alone? I've never seen a white-headed black-backed ape or anything, but lord-level beasts aren't easy to deal with. ”

Yi Hui shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and said, "I didn't know what this lord level was at the time, if it was difficult to kill, I would die if I killed a few more times." ”

Not wanting to say more in this regard, Yi Hui put aside the topic and asked Jinli: "Jinli, how are you staying with Quinn?" Anyway, I still care a little about what Quinn said on the castle tower today. ”

Jin Li knew that Yi Hui was referring to the fact that Quinn knew that Adam would come to attack Silverspring Valley and signed a long-term contract with the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, so he scratched his head and said, "Yi Hui, I won't talk much about this matter. Suffice it to say that we are mercenaries, mercenaries who take money to do things. Whatever the purpose for which Quinn hired us, at least he offered us superior terms that we couldn't refuse, and I don't think we have to worry about taking on the mission at least here, and if we weren't here, we would also be living a life of mercenaries. Is there any difference between working here for a long time and constantly taking on small tasks? ”

After listening to Jin Li's words, Yi Hui didn't ask any more questions, after all, he had not experienced the poverty of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, and it was not necessarily a good thing for the Corps to be attached to Quinn's side at present. If Quinn succeeds in defeating Adam and takes over as the patriarch of the Garcia family, the Iron Shield Mercenary Group may be able to develop better.

However, Yi Hui didn't want to work under Quinn, Quinn's kind of quick success surname Ge Yihui couldn't look down on, and he was obviously a thoughtful person but pretended to be bold in front of people, and Yi Hui didn't dare to agree with this kind of two-faced surname. In Yi Hui's view, with the LOL system, you can develop anywhere, and you don't have to rely on Quinn.

Regarding Quinn's grandiose solicitation on the city tower today, Yi Hui was just thinking about what kind of reason to refuse him in his heart.
