The battle in the distance continues, but this battle does not have to go to the end, and it is already obvious who wins and who loses.

The mercenary group, which was already inferior to the bandits, could not hold out any longer after abruptly reducing their strength by a full third.

Just half a quarter of an hour later, their battle line began to rout, the mercenaries could no longer care about Levi's orders, and began to retreat one after another, their group of people were originally guys who took money to eat, and the military discipline was very loose, and now a clear-eyed person can see that Levi is holding the idea of holding the goods and using them as cannon fodder, so he naturally refuses to work for him anymore.

I saw that the mercenaries dispersed like a tide, and some ran back to the direction of the convoy, but more of them left the team directly, and each fled for his life, leaving only one corpse, roughly looking at it, there were no less than a hundred, that is, in just a short time, most of them died.

With the defeat of the enemy, the morale of the robbers was greatly boosted, and some of them rode and some on foot, and pursued the convoy that had turned away, and surrounded it like a swarm of flies, and the mercenaries and men in the convoy were terrified.

Thanks to the swiftness of the movements, the horses of the convoy were also strong, and each carriage was pulled by at least three or four horses, and the speed was not slow, so that it was not immediately eaten by the robbers, and at the same time, Levi also gathered most of the remaining troops at the end of the team, and while retreating, he risked his life to resist the pursuit of the robbers, blocking their way, and for a time the other party was able to resist the other party.

On the other hand, those robbers, although they are light and fast, but the quality of the horses sitting down is uneven, and there is no order to cooperate when pursuing, seeing the enemy's rout, one by one they have no intention of fighting again, all of them hold the idea of the enemy letting others solve it, and change their ways to bypass the mercenaries at the end of the team, and get into the convoy to take some property, in this way, you count on me, I count on you, and finally it became a pot of porridge, and the seemingly fragile mobile defense line has never broken through, but has suffered many dead and wounded, most of them, He was squeezed alive by his companions and was stabbed to death.

Seeing this, the leaders of these robbers were also anxious, shouting at their subordinates, but although the combat power of this group of robbers is good, the sense of discipline is far less than that of those mercenaries.

This directly led to the fact that the robbers, who had the upper hand when the two sides were fighting fiercely, gave up their previous advantages to the other side when they were about to share the fruits of victory.

Looking at the stalemate not far behind them, Levi and Fellerzi breathed a sigh of relief, this situation, they did not expect in advance, but it undoubtedly gave them a way out, according to their original plan, they thought that they would have to pay the price of losing most of their men and half of their goods to escape.

"Blazing axes, sprinkle fire oil, burn them!"

The next moment, Levi gave a deep order, and when the fierce axe heard this, he immediately began to prepare, and a dozen mercenaries on war horses took a few oil drums from a carriage in front of them, pried open the stopper, went around to the end of the line, poured out all the fire oil inside, and then immediately lit it!

Their series of movements were so swift that few of the robbers who were in a hurry didn't even notice them, and the next moment, they listened. With the continuous pouring of oil drums in the hands of the mercenaries, this fire road continued to spread, and at least dozens of robbers turned into fire men in an instant, screaming and running wildly, and some even led people and horses, turned their heads and plunged into the untouched bandit pile on the side, causing senseless secondary casualties.

The road ahead was full of flames, accompanied by thick black smoke, and it happened that the terrain here was very narrow, and there were boulders more than one person high on both sides, and the speed of the robbers' pursuit of more than half of them was naturally immediately sharply reduced, and they could only reluctantly abandon their horses, climb over from the rocks and low hills on both sides, and then chase on foot, but in this process, many people were smoked by the billowing smoke, and temporarily lost the ability to pursue.

On the other side, seeing that the pressure on his side had been greatly reduced, and the enemy had almost lost the ability to pursue him, Levi was overjoyed, but before he could laugh, he heard a loud 'boom' from the front of the convoy.

Levi's eyesight was good, and almost as soon as he looked at the explosion, he saw a figure that had just crushed a lit fire fold and put it away!

"Blazing Axe! Don't you dare! ”

Recognizing the identity of that person, Levi thundered in his head, first feeling a little incredible, and then his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't help but scold!

Hearing this, the fierce axe in front glanced back at Levi, his face was complicated, but he didn't hesitate much, and he didn't pay attention to the other party's reprimand at the moment, and immediately pulled out his horse and galloped, accelerating violently, and at the same time drew the long sword in his hand with one hand and chased towards the carriage that hit the head.

Seeing this, Levi almost immediately judged what the other party wanted to do, and almost shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop him!" Stop the Burning Axe! Stop him for me! ”

The rest of the mercenaries also noticed the situation here, but the situation at this time was too difficult to understand, and it happened suddenly, and the position of the fierce axe in the entire mercenary group was second only to Levi, so after Levi shouted, no one reacted in a short time, and let the fierce axe run to the side of the carriage in the front, and then swung his sword again and again, cutting off all the reins of the carriage!

The next moment, the carriage that broke away from the horses immediately lost its balance, and slammed into the ground with a "boom", and the body shattered, and the carriage behind it could not dodge, and hit its body fiercely, and then lost its balance, and the car overturned and became a roadblock for the next carriage, and so one after another, the front of the team was completely blocked in just a few seconds!

The front was blocked, there was a fire in the middle, and there were pursuers in the rear, and Levi and Ferrer, who had just escaped from danger, once again fell into a Jedi that was a hundred times more dangerous than before!

"Brute! Brutes! Kill him! Kill him for me! ”

Like Levi, the sharp-eyed Feller also noticed the action of the axe igniting the carriage containing the oil drums, and he only felt that his heart was about to burst, and he was full of horror and anger that could not be vented, and he was a little out of his mind, and whipped Levi's body, and roared loudly.

The pain in his back woke Levi from his momentary stupor, and poured a handful of oil on top of his already raging flames, and he took a few steps from his horse, slammed his fist into Ferrer's eye socket, and then, despite his fall from the carriage, drew his sword and charged straight at the halted axe in front of him.

He wanted to kill this guy with a sword, but when he rushed closer than ten meters in front of the fierce axe, he still couldn't hold back, pulled the reins tightly, and stopped the horse.

Seeing Levi's anger, the fierce axe did not make the slightest movement, nor did he show any fear, but as if his heart was over, with a faint smile on his face.

After a few seconds of silence, Levi rode forward again, came to the Burning Axe, raised his sword around his neck, and asked in a cold voice, "Fierce Axe, speak!" Why did you betray me! ”

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Fierce Axe's face, and then he was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "Captain, I don't want to, but this may be the only way to save you." ”

At this moment, the Blazing Axe no longer called Levi the commander, but changed to the name they had when they first debuted, at that time, they were only part of a mercenary team of only ten people, at that time, they still had dreams in their hearts, preserved righteousness, and had the courage to die for the empire.

It's just that Levi didn't have the heart to notice this, as if he had heard some big joke, he laughed angrily: "Help me? You say you're saving me!? ”

"That's right!"

The tone of Fierce Axe's reply was not intimidated by Levi's hideous expression, only to hear him staring at Levi's eyes and saying loudly:

"Captain! You know what Feller is trying to do, and you know what this caravan is carrying! The city of Fite is about to fall, the city lord is struggling to defend it, countless people are displaced, and countless lives have fallen into the grip of the Lawrence Empire! But for a little money, you can pretend that you don't know this, sell your soul, sell your homeland with those devils, and send weapons and food to those enemies who invade our land! Captain! If I don't stop you here, you will surely become a sinner for the ages of the Lawrence Empire, nailed to the pillar of shame in history! Isn't what I'm doing now saving you!? ”

"Captain! Please, listen to me, and lead the brothers to withdraw! We're not going back to Blue Maple City, let's change places and go far, and that devil won't find us......"

As he spoke, the Fierce Axe's emotions seemed to be a little excited, but at the same time he also stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Levi's shoulder, and continued to speak, but before his words fell, he saw Levi angrily shake the long sword in his hand, cut a deep bloody hole in the Fierce Axe's hand, and roared: "A little 'little money'? A thousand gold coins, that's a whole thousand gold coins! You say that's a little money!? ”

Levi's eyes were red, he hadn't been able to listen to the words of the Burning Axe before, and all that was left in his heart at this time was resentment and resentment towards the Burning Axe's behavior, and the regret of seeing him lose the huge wealth that was about to arrive!

"Do you know how much effort and how much price I have paid for this thousand gold coins!? Do you know what this thousand gold coins means to our brothers in the whole regiment? Did you know that without this payment, I can't even afford to pay the pensions of my dead brothers!? You tell me, do you know? You say? Yes?! ”

Levi's sword slowly moved back to the axe's throat as he spoke, and the axe sighed deeply at his crazy appearance, and then slowly closed his eyes.

In fact, when he first spoke to dissuade Levi and was refused, he understood that his 'captain' would not change his mind, so he secretly contacted the bandits on the barren stone road, and quietly moved the oil barrel cart that should have been placed at the end of the team to the center of the team, and only when he was about to get out of danger, he would be angry and attacked.

He has done everything he should do, he shouldn't do it, he can't do it if he wants to, and the only thing he can do at this time is to close his eyes and wait for death...... Died at the hands of the man he once respected, admired, and admired the most.

'Crackle, crackle'

The sound of fire burning on the wood continued, and in the distance, the sound of fighting was heard again, and the robbers caught up.

It's just that the blade that should have fallen early didn't fall on his neck for a long time, and instead of it, there was a burst of exclamation!

The fierce axe subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at Levi in front of him, but saw that Levi still maintained the action of raising his sword to slash, and a pair of tiger eyes were round, but up and down his body, he was no longer a little angry!

Because a sharp arrow, at some point, had pierced his head, and blood slowly flowed from the protruding end of the arrow, soaking half of Levi's cheek and soaking the heart of the fierce axe.

He couldn't describe the amazement and sadness in his heart at the moment, he couldn't hear what the mercenaries were clamoring about.

I saw him turn around in a daze, looking in the direction where the arrow should fly, and before his gaze could stop completely, there was a sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air in his ears.

The next moment, with a 'poof', a sharp arrow with a pitch-black body passed through his head without hindrance and nailed it to his forehead.

Watching the two leader-like guys on the other side die one after another, Ash pulled out the long sword at his waist, took a step from the boulder, and gently waved his right hand forward.

Then, I saw the black-armored soldiers who were like abyssal beasts swarming up, with a fierce killing aura on their bodies, and the long swords in their hands were shining with cold light.

At the same time, not far from Ash's side, two columns of archers, also dressed in gorgeous black armor, stood up suddenly, raised their crossbows in their hands, and with a neat sound of the machine, a dense rain of arrows flew into the crowd in front of them like a deadly Grim Reaper!
