Chapter 167: The Captive
87_87410When the sound of the alarm bell rang throughout the cottage, the man in his thirties sitting in a wooden house and the middle-aged man next to him all stood up with a change of face, and then hurriedly walked out.
When the man and the middle-aged man came outside, the first thing that caught their eyes was the barbarian who roared and threw the short spear in his hand, followed by the ranger with a single bow and arrow and the scout with a crossbow.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up, everyone assembles to attack." Seeing the situation outside, the men in their thirties shouted to gather their subordinates around them.
I have to say that the fighting spirit of this group of soldiers is still very high, and when they heard the alarm bell, they gathered together with weapons to their leader's side, of course, without such a battle, it was impossible to easily defeat the caravan guards.
At this time, I saw the barbarian spear thrower throwing the short spear in his hand while rushing towards these gathered soldiers, and from time to time the soldiers would be pierced by the barbarian's short spear.
The short spears of the barbarians are all modified spiral heads, and the penetration is more powerful than ordinary short spears, except for plate armor, other armor is difficult to defend, it can be said that being hit by a short spear is also seriously injured if you don't die.
Faced with the mighty spears and arrows flying in all directions, the assembled soldiers could only hold their shields or find cover to resist, and soon the barbarian spear-throwers, having thrown all the short spears they carried, rushed forward with a loud roar, ready for hand-to-hand combat.
While the barbarians were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing soldiers, Reyna and her scouts and rangers were shooting at the perimeter points.
Facing an enemy that was more than twice as numerous as them and had both near and far attacks, the man on the opposite side could only let his subordinates defend in a group, but at this time, he saw a fireball with a diameter of more than one meter flying from the rear and falling into the camp of the soldiers on the opposite side, which made dozens of soldiers fall to the ground.
With this large ball of fire, Twilight, who had not made a move, walked out, followed by Zagrel in a robe, and Batis, who carried a sword.
Seeing Zagrel and Batis, the middle-aged man standing beside the young leader had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He knew that the slightest uneasiness he had had had before, and the news they had received about Twilight had said that in addition to Setis, Twilight would often be accompanied by two Rank 8 powerhouses, one was the fire mage Zagreel, and the other was the half-elf Bartis. Holy Sword, but this time, they all think that Twilight has left, but no one notices that Twilight's troops are not Zagrell and Battis, and they ignore them.
"It's Twilight, he's not leaving." After thinking about these thoughts for a moment, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked to the man in his thirties and said with an anxious expression.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the man looked in the direction of the middle-aged man's finger and his face changed, and the half-loud man stepped forward and said loudly: "Twilight Lord, please stop, we have something to say."
The man's words fell halfway, but he did not get a response, and the attack did not stop, seeing that the man gritted his teeth and shouted: "Lord Twilight, it is not right for us to rob you of your things, I will return the goods to you, as long as you let us go, what conditions do you say."
Hearing the man's pleading words, Twilight's lips revealed a sneer, "Let them stop!"
As Twilight's order came out, Twilight's soldiers gradually stopped attacking, and the man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, as long as there was something to talk about.
Then Twilight stepped forward and said, "Which of you is in charge, come out."
"My lord, in Lower Heber, yes" The man stepped forward to introduce himself before he could finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Twilight.
"I'll just ask one question, who sent you?" Twilight says with a finger.
"Lord Lord, we are just a small mercenary group, the caravan that attacked your territory this time was only lost for a while, you spare us, and we will return all the stolen goods to you." The man, that is, Heber, tried to make his expression and tone appear very humble.
"Ask you again, who sent you?" Twilight said expressionlessly.
"My lord, we're really just a small mercenary group, I don't understand what you mean." Heber was puzzled.
"Okay, kill them all!" Twilight is too lazy to talk nonsense.
With Twilight's order, I saw that the surrounding dreadnought scouts and dreadnought rangers raised their bows and crossbows again, seeing this, Heber's face changed greatly and he hurriedly said, "Lord Lord, I say, you listen to me."
Heber's eyes rolled as he spoke, and as Twilight waited for him to say something, Heber suddenly shouted, "Run separately, run as much as you can."
As soon as Heber finished speaking, he took the lead in rushing in one direction, and the middle-aged man beside him was not slow to react, and rushed in the other direction, and the last was the strong man with the red beard.
Heber's sudden action was somewhat unexpected, and he was about to charge into the weakest scout on the left, when a fireball whistled and smashed into Heber.
At the critical moment, Heber paused his body, and the fireball flew past Heber's front face, if Heber hadn't stopped in time, this time it would have smashed on his head, but as soon as it was delayed, Heber fell into a siege.
"Where do you want to run?" At the same time, a cold voice also appeared beside the middle-aged man who chose another direction.
Before the middle-aged man could react, he felt a sharp pain in his legs and stomach, and then his body fell down uncontrollably, revealing Jira with a dagger behind him.
Another strong man with a red beard was also blocked by Batis, and soon, only to hear a scream from the bearded strong man, he fell at the feet of Batis.
The only one left in the field of time was the leader named Heber, when a crossbow arrow was shot by Reyna and hit Heber in the thigh, and the next moment Heber was slung to his neck with several weapons.
"You attacked my caravan twice, I'm afraid I can't imagine that there will be such a day! If you sue me now who sent you, I will not kill you. Slowly walking up to Eber, Twilight said condescendingly.
"Whew! You go to death!" Heber spat out a mouthful of foaming spit and looked at Twilight viciously.
"Yes, you have backbone, I want to see how backbone you are." Twilight said and turned to Rena, "Look for the goods we lost, and pull them back to Benjes."
"Good!" Reyna nodded in response, turned her head and began to lead people to search for goods.
"Jira, bring back all the prisoners who were not injured, and the seriously injured prisoners will be killed on the spot, and all the corpses will be burned." Twilight says to Gila again.
"Yes! My lord!" (To be continued)
