Chapter 8 The Tree Falls and Scatters
After piercing a horse thief who was still shouting to kill the enemy just now. Barrett picked up the big rod and shook it hard, shaking the horse thief out of the gun. Then he twisted his waist and twisted around again, knocking a horse thief wielding a scimitar to the ground.
Stabbing, stabbing, circling, blocking, dialing—after all the other fancy moves on the complex battlefield, Barrett, who was firing on all cylinders, was a mess of the attackers in front of him alone.
Blessed by the powerful power brought by the surging blood and blood, the spear in Barrett's hand was like a rhinoceros in the middle of a gallop. Even with the leather armor of the horse thief, there is no defense at all under this force. was pierced by the head of the gun, and there were two holes in the front and back. And even if it is swept by the barrel of a gun, it is also a nerve-wracking, and it is difficult to recover combat strength for a while. Some people were directly interrupted their spines, and they had already choked their breath when they were still in mid-air.
With Barrett agitating and occupying alone, the caravan rangers who were originally restrained by the attacker's division were finally able to mobilize some mobile forces to defend their own formation. And the previous leader of the horse thieves who was knocked off his horse by a raid by Barrett already knew that the situation was not good the moment he turned over and fell off his horse.
Born in a large tribe, he was also cultivated as an elite back then. Since childhood, he has been trained to bow and horse, and he has been taught to march and fight, although the aborigines of the steppe are no longer able to pose any threat to the kingdom of Norhan. But the kingdom of Lucia is still a piece of fat that can not be stained with some oil and water. What's more, it is inevitable that there will be some friction between the big tribes every year because of the pasture problem. Either of these requires force as a guarantee.
Although the elite riders of the steppe cannot be said to be completely out of production. But their long-term study not only gave them superior strength, but also gave them a superficial self-insight in marching and fighting. In particular, the latter is even more valuable in the tribal political environment of the steppe. Like the leader of the horse thieves who cautiously fled to the edge of the battlefield in front of him, if there was no special reason, why would he come out to do this business!
He has that kind of insight. After contacting Barrett for this before and after the change. Immediately understood that his party had fallen into the enemy's calculations this time. A feeling of 'shooting geese all day long, but I don't want to be pecked by geese today' arose spontaneously in his heart.
However, as a person who can break away from the tribe. A horse thief leader who pulls up a team without any support. Although he is far from being a hero, he is still a character. Although he had never heard of the phrase 'when judgment is constantly in turmoil', he understood a similar truth.
The attack in front of him must have failed, and now that he was knocked to the ground, he couldn't pull the team away at the first order in the melee. And when facing a caravan with a mage who can perform fireball magic, if you can't quickly solve the containment, the cavalry will enter the caravan. It is also unknown how many horse thieves will be able to escape with their hands and feet in the next - the range spell of the three rings of the fireball is really a first-class threat to a group with ordinary strength and relying on crowd tactics.
The horse thief who has made a decision in his heart naturally no longer cares about the two battlefields where the sound of slashing and slashing is everywhere. There is a way to stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, and in the eyes of that guy, he fights his own ability, even if the team is broken up. It's only a matter of time before the other one is pulled up. Although it may be a little more difficult for the next period of time, it is still much better than losing your name here - thinking of Barrett's sudden thunderbolt shot, this guy subconsciously snorted.
And Barrett saw that the leader of the horse thieves who was beaten by himself had been on the road since then, so he naturally focused his attention on the horse thieves who were still waving knives at him. Under the assault of his horses, the horse thief division, whose morale had plummeted because of the commander, immediately turned into birds and beasts - in terms of fighting will and organizational level, these guys were not at all comparable to the regular army.
However, because of their final delay, the leader of the horse thieves who had stolen away before also managed to find a mount that had lost its owner on the outskirts of the battlefield. Although the horse itself was also a little injured, it did not affect the leader of the horse thieves to turn over and run away after turning over. Wait until Barrett has killed the remaining horse thieves. When I noticed him from the rout, the guy had run so far that he couldn't catch up at all.
"Do you want to run away immediately when the situation is not good? I just don't know if you'll be able to make a comeback after this blow......" after making such an exclamation. Barrett turned his horse's head and went to the end of the camp that had already been slaughtered.
Horse thieves who have slowed down due to the 'Stinky Cloud Technique' are much less of a threat to the car formation. The dwarven warrior standing on the flatbed cart was wielding his newfound hammer and smashing an attacker armed with a scimitar off his horse. And the catboy jumping up and down is like a winding lightning bolt at this time, and a series of blood flowers are brought in the galloping action.
Compared to these two, the remaining players are not so eye-catching on the battlefield. The attack of the halfling wanderer itself was a silent one-hit, and he didn't know that he couldn't even see the figure lurking there. Claudia. Auditore is now busy with the blessing of the people around him. Although the words made her mouth dry, it was just the work of moving her mouth, and it naturally didn't look very conspicuous.
And Clematis. Although Bot is working very hard, her combat power without the blessing of the divine state is inevitably inferior to the first two - because the current situation is good, Clematis. Bot clearly wanted to save some spells for healing in the future. As for Rielly, don't look at the fact that people want to hide under heavy protection and don't make another move. But the first two spells had a big impact on the occupation.
The returning rangers were in full swing under Barrett's leadership, and although they were still loose due to training issues, their presence disintegrated the psychology of the attackers who were still fighting. Because the appearance of these people means that the detached division that originally lured the enemy has fled or died.
Faced with such a situation, those horse thieves understand that they have lost this game as long as they don't have a hole in their brains. Those who were still alive immediately drove their mounts with whips. I want to leave completely in order to achieve self-consistency with the rangers who rushed to support. And with their retreat. The battle also ended with the setting sun that was sinking underground.
Then the caravan members who had been huddled behind the formation. When he left, he came out with a rope and tied up the horse thieves who were still alive - these guys were also a kind of cargo in a sense, and they knew that if they were brought to a relatively large tribe, someone would naturally take over. As for the fact that their compatriots will treat these horse thieves exclusively after they are taken over, it is not for the caravan to manage.
But a horse thief is just a horse thief after all! Don't look at the hot fight before, but in fact, there are not many people left. From this point of view, the aboriginal adventurers and caravans showed no strong combat effectiveness. Of course, this may have something to do with the will to fight on both sides.
The horse thief is originally seeking wealth, and if the wind and water are smooth, he will naturally be full of momentum. If you hit a bit of hard stubble. Nor will it be desperate. On the part of the caravan, whether it is the hired adventurer guards or its own members, all they want is to retreat the horse thieves so that they know that they are not easy to mess with.
As a result, the vast majority of the casualties were caused by the player, thanks to Barrett's 'Solo Formation' and Rielly's two range spells. Of course, since the results of the escort are so scarce, their casualties are naturally very optimistic - except for the two unlucky ones in the rangers who were trampled and dragged to death after falling off their horses, the rest are injuries that can be healed.
Because victory came easily, the morale of the caravan after the contact with the crisis was good. And the next work of dealing with the wounded, those aborigines who are familiar with this way can also handle it themselves. Only a few seriously wounded people asked Clematis. Bot has cast several healing spells in the past. However, looking at their painful expressions, I am afraid that the psychology is to use the balance of heaven to measure the weight between the lives of their companions and the gold coins.
And the captain Bosie, who walked up to greet Barrett, said with a look on his face: "Mr. Boreham! You don't have to work so hard and spend more time than you do on the battlefield. Or is your safety more important? ”
"Ugh!" A word was choked in Barrett's throat. After a while, he said, "Don't worry! I cherish this life very much! If you are not sure, you will never go back and take risks. ”
"If only you understood! The next trip will depend on the strength of a few more people. With that, the leader of the caravan began to turn and go to comfort the wounded of the caravan.
The noodles that suddenly appeared next to Barrett pulled the corner of Barrett's clothes: "Barrett, what did you mean by what Mr. Bosie just said?" ”
"Wait until we're back in the caravan. There are some issues that are not suitable for discussion in public. With that, Barrett gave the halfling wanderer a look. The latter obediently closed his mouth and followed Barrett.
And several players who saw this situation also clearly approached the caravan that served as your living area during this time. After the players had almost all gathered in the caravan, Barrett spoke: "Mr. Bossy's attitude is obviously not very interested in the lives of those low-level adventurers. Therefore, for the safety of the caravan, it is normal that he does not want my strength to send out an accident. ”
"Although I think Mr. Bosie's actions are indeed in line with his force field, it is too cruel for ordinary adventurers!" As she said this, Laru scratched the wood of the carriage with her own claws.
Barrett reached out and touched the cat's head and said, "This is also something that can't be helped!" In fact, those who venture out on this path already know the risks at the very beginning. It's just that they subconsciously think that they will be the ones who will succeed in the end, rather than the unlucky ones who die halfway. ”
"Then the reason why Barrett didn't say it just now is to not irritate those aboriginal adventurers outside." The halfling wanderer suddenly realized.
Barrett nodded: "Although some problems exist, people who are deeply involved do subconsciously avoid talking about them. If it had been said at that time, and it reached their ears, would it be salt in their wounds? Who knows what's going to happen! ”
"Is it something you can do, but you can't say?" The cat boy asked, fiddling with his fingers.
Barrett smiled at the question: "Although there are some similarities, in fact they are still very different. Don't mix them. ”
"Don't talk about this heavy topic. Anvil said that in the future, he hoped to turn into a warrior of stone. What does Barrett think of the viability of this option? Claudia, who felt that the topic was boring just now. Auditore spoke immediately.
Hearing this, Barrett immediately turned his gaze to the dwarf: "You really decided to turn yourself into a big rock?" The point is, in that case, your partner in the game will only be able to go to one Aboriginal dwarf aunt. It is said that the profession of Stone Warrior cannot give birth to offspring with other races. ”
Although Barrett could not confirm the truth or falsity of this rumor, there must be a reason for it. Perhaps only the dwarves, who are said to have emerged from the stone, will be able to give birth to the descendants of the stone warriors who have begun to turn into stone. I don't know for what reason, the appearance of the dwarf race is difficult to match the aesthetics of modern people.
Male players may choose for the sake of combat or novelty, but the vast majority of female players are very concerned about the appearance of their characters - which ultimately makes it rare for female players to choose dwarves, and no one has ever made such a choice on offline forums. In this way, if the dwarves want a good start in the second generation, they can only leave the aborigines with those evil hands.
"It's still early days for that kind of thing! Besides, it's not impossible to choose to adopt an aborigine. It is said that as long as it is cultivated well, the second generation will not be too bad. Anvil said, touching his beard. Although these words were very firm, Barrett still saw a trace of unwillingness in the other party's eyes.
Barrett threw his hands on this situation: "That theory is indeed circulating on the forum, but no one has done the actual operation. Do you want to be a forerunner at Anvil? Then I will thank you on behalf of thousands of players. (To be continued......)
