Chapter 658: Followers
"Bastard, that damn aristocrat ran away!!"
"We are abandoned!!"
"Poof~" "Ah!!hhhh
"Help me!!"
After the commander fled, the Kingdom army was in disarray, and the mercenaries and Kingdom soldiers were all angry and insulting in terror.
In the flesh collision, this situation almost immediately caused a chain reaction of demoralization.
Some soldiers and mercenaries who saw that the situation was not good and were in the relative rear also chose to flee, and the kingdom's army formation, which originally had about 80 people left, only ran away with another twenty or thirty people at once.
Losing the numerical advantage, the rest of the people were immediately in danger, and in just a short time, seven or eight people were directly cut down by the desolate orcs, but the remaining people were almost all bitten by the desolate orcs, and they couldn't get out at all, otherwise they would die immediately.
"These Somas can't run anymore!! kill them all!!"
"Roar !!", "Roar !!", "Roar !!"
Although the orcs also fell a dozen or so, they became more cruel and bloodthirsty, and their fangs and teeth were exposed in their violent roars.
In a short period of time, this small battlefield quickly turned into a massacre.
Riva and Yoi happened to see this from a distance, witnessing the officers flee to the collapse of the kingdom's army.
"If we don't help, they're going to die! Yoi, help me look around!"
Riva didn't think much about it and rushed out, having experienced fighting four trolls in the night, and having seen stumps and broken arms torn apart by trolls, there was nothing that could scare him.
A Kingdom Army pikeman faced the battle axe slash of the desolate orc, and the shield soldier comrade who was supposed to share the pressure at this moment was in danger under the slash of another desolate orc, and could only raise his spear to block.
"Bang~" got it, and the huge force came from the barrel of the gun, making his arms numb and almost unable to grasp the barrel of the gun.
"Bang!"
There was a heavy kick in the chest, and the spearman fell to the ground with his weapon, his consciousness blurred with pain.
"Roar!!
The roar of the desolate orcs was so close that he could even feel the breath of the other party's roar.
'Dead......
"Poof!"
The hot liquid splashed on his face, and then poured water over the spearman's body.
The beastman was kneeling with his neck clutched, blood spurting between his hands foreshadowing his fate.
When the spearman was wondering if it was his comrade, the black trench coat passed by, and Riva's broadsword was still connected to the neck of the wild orc, and his left hand had already drawn his short sword and threw it to the side.
Seven or eight meters away, on the side of another kingdom sword and shield soldier who was about to die, a desolate orc covered his eyes and fell, with a flying short sword stuck in his left eye.
"When !!"
A loud and piercing sound sounded around him, and Riva directly used his broadsword to hold the warhammer of the leader of the desolate orcs, and the sparks splashed on it could be clearly seen in the daytime.
His expression was gritted and hideous, and the war hammer wielded by the brute force of the leader of the Desolate Orcs was obviously not so easy for Riva to catch.
"Ah!!!!h
Riva roared, and the next moment he blocked the hammer, he leaned back to unload the remaining impact of the hammer, and swept his leg towards the leader of the orcs.
"Bang!"
The latter was kicked in one leg, and his body lost its balance, and Riva's broadsword was slashed through the neck.
"Puff ......"
The spurt of blood stained one side of Riva's face red, along with her hair, and her body bounced off the next moment, dodging the tomahawk slash of a desolate orc.
During the jump, another short sword was fired, and another orc's palm was pinned through, causing the opponent to release his weapon and lose his balance.
The mercenaries on the side randomly plunged their long swords into the opponent's neck.
The moment Riva entered, the iconic black leather trench coat moved in several places.
Killing three and injuring one, although the number seems to be small, it almost attracted the attention of the audience.
"If you don't want to die, come with me to deal with this group of beasts!!"
Riva is well versed in the truth instilled by Yoi, "people don't talk much", and his words are short but very loud, and the rest of the things are spoken by deeds.
The broadsword, which is no longer sharp, is still a death reaper in his hands, and Riva's strength can only be said to be about the same as that of the leader of the desolate orcs, but his overall physical quality is very good, and his agility and observation have not fallen.
As long as there are soldiers of the Kingdom Army to share the pressure, but when a reaper leaves almost no scars.
"It's Black Ranger !!"
"Brethren, it's the Black Ranger!! kill this filthy beast hazard!!"
"Kill !! They"
"We're going to live!!"
"Keep in formation!!Keep in formation!!"
The queue elders in the military formation shouted loudly, taking the role of the officer, because of the arrival of the Black Ranger and the killing of the leader of the wild orcs, the morale of the kingdom army quickly recovered.
The spearmen and shieldmen were reunited, the mercenaries' swords and spears were gathered together, and the three remaining archers took quivers from their dead comrades, even though their arms were already sore.
This battlefield is not of much scale, but the battle is extremely fierce, blood and sweat are swayed together, and the roar of the beastmen and the roar of the kingdom army are mixed with the tearing sound of the sword and axe cutting into flesh and bones.
"Poof~"
A scratched broadsword pierced the head of an orc spearman, preventing the spear he wanted to throw from free.
"Smack...... Bang..."
The last orc warrior knelt and fell to the ground, before the broadsword had drawn its head, and hot blood gushed out of the hole in its head.
"Ho... Ho... Ho ......"
Riva's body was constantly undulating, and with every heavy gasp, blood and sweat were bound to drip from his sideburns and the hem of his clothes, and it was not easy to charge in the military formation.
The surviving royal army and mercenaries around were all bloodstained, and less than thirty people could stand, all of whom looked at Riva in solemn awe.
The sound of heavy breathing was the only melody of the moment, and the silence was finally broken by a groan of pain.
"Uh-huh..."
A mercenary soldier with a spear pierced through his chest struggled on the ground.
"Sohel, you !! alive"
Two mercenaries ran to the soldier's side in ecstasy and held up his pale head.
"You Fang Xin, this spear definitely didn't penetrate your internal organs, as long as you get to the city and pull out the spear, you can live!! we won't leave you!!"
Everyone, including Riva, was fascinated by the scene.
The mercenary seemed to be breathing hard, but he clutched his companion's hand.
"Help me, help me take care of... Belch... I... Belch... I ......"
"Bastard!!I'm not going to help you!!I'm not going to help you!! you're going to ...... yourself"
Before the mercenary could finish speaking, he noticed that his companion's hand had lost its strength.
"That damn officer escaped!!"
The sound of bones grinding against fists swayed through the crowd, and the group of people who survived the bloody battle to the end had enough respect for their comrades around them.
On the ground, there was another pikeman who was badly wounded, who was lying in a pool of blood, but now struggled to stand up with his pestle.
A soldier of the Kingdom Army and a mercenary on the side immediately crouched down to support him.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The soldier looked better, but his eyes were fixed on the silent "blood-colored" ranger not far away.
"Your Excellency... My injuries were enough for me to retire from the Kingdom Army...... Can I follow you!"
These words made the eyes of the mercenaries on the side light up!
"We have completed this mission, Your Excellency Black Ranger, can we follow you!!"
"Yes, I'm a mercenary, not a kingdom army, can I follow you, Lord Black Ranger!"
The surrounding soldiers of the Kingdom Army are also very moved, but they are Kingdom soldiers, and it is illegal to casually break away from the control of the army, and the superiority of the mercenaries in the past is long gone, and now they are even a little envious.
"Aha!!What a brilliant idea!!"
Yoi came from a distance, and sat down on Riva's bloody shoulder.
"I agreed instead of Riva!!"
Riva calmed her breathing, recovering from the after-effects of great physical exertion.
"Let's send you back first, you can't stay here long, the wild orcs and trolls have too keen a sense of smell!"
Less than 30 people simply tidied up the battlefield, supported their comrades, carried the wounded with simple brackets, and quickly left.
By a stream in the woods, everyone stopped to rest and examine the wound again.
Yoi stumbled to a stand and crouched down.
"You're the first one who said you want to join and follow Riva, right, although you're a bit of a waste of wood, but you're a buildable material, I'll cover you in the future!!"
The soldier, who had a torn wound on his chest and was bleeding profusely, was now wrapped in bandage-like strips of cloth, his face and breath were miraculously much better, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Thank you!"
