Chapter 10: The First Battle with the Barbarians

Just as the saber was about to slash into Joika's neck, the bounty hunter's eyes suddenly widened, and before the other could react, Joika slammed his left hand on the ground and rolled in the direction of the barbarian

The barbarian's saber slashed to the ground, but Joika's tumbling body hit his feet, the barbarian lost his balance and flipped backwards on his back, and the saber fell to the ground, Joika pounced on it with this momentum, and rolled on the snow with the barbarian, and Joika wanted to play dead, and this was the effect he wanted to pursue - as long as he could close the distance between him and the barbarian, even if it was just one of them, he would have a chance

As Joyka expected, for fear of accidentally injuring his companions, the three barbarians behind him did not dare to release arrows, so they dismounted, drew their sabers, and rushed forward to relieve the siege of their companions who were entangled—these savages firmly believed that the three of them were beating Joyka, and it was a sure thing that one would win, but they miscalculated again

Seeing that his opponent had abandoned his mount and bow and arrow, Joyka knew that the four barbarians had lost their advantage, and he no longer hid them, and just before the three were about to rush to his side, he elbowed the barbarian who was holding him in the neck - this time the barbarian was extremely strong, and the savage only felt short of breath, his eyes were dark, he fainted, and his hands that were clasped around Joyka involuntarily let go; Joyka took the opportunity to roll back, get rid of the entanglement, stand firm, and pull out the Mithril longsword

Rushing up, the three barbarians surrounded Joika in a zigzag pattern, the sharp saber glittering with snow, and the freezing morning sun seemed so aggressive

Relax, guys, Joyka is trying to negotiate with the barbarians, we don't mean anything, we just want to borrow your place to pass by, if you like gold, you can give as much as you want, and now let's put down our weapons together, okay, in order to show sincerity, Joyka slowly bent down and laid his longsword flat on the ground

Watching Joika's actions, several barbarians glanced at each other, and one of them shouted: Kill three people and slash at Joika with his bare hands raised at the same time

Since he dared to lay down his weapon in front of the enemy, it means that Joika had already counted this situation, his right hand pressed on his waist suddenly waved to the side, and the belt turned into a soft weapon in an instant, and the black soft whip was thrown out with his right hand, and it was rolled up on the knife of the barbarian on the right who rushed to him first, and Joika grabbed the soft whip with his left hand, and pulled it hard with both hands, and the barbarian was pulled aside by the knife of the man, and his knife happened to collide with the saber of the companion on the left; at this moment, the third barbarian had already rushed to the back, and Joika flew sideways and kicked him in the face of the knife, and the barbarian was kicked back two steps

Joyka, who had fended off the barbarians in the first round with his clever adaptability and surprise weapon, was not complacent, he withdrew his legs and let go of his hands that were tightening the soft whip, and picked up the long sword on the ground with his toes, grabbing the hilt of the sword before the barbarian on the left slashed the second time

Boom - the barbarian was once again repelled under the sword strike

Oops, it seems that there is no room for negotiation, even if there is no attack just now, with the strong murderous aura emanating from these barbarians, Joyka knows the answer

Although she couldn't understand why the other party wanted to kill the killer as soon as they met, Joyka knew that she would definitely not get the answer if she asked them directly, and only by completely knocking them down in the face of overwhelming force could she get the information she wanted

Come on, Joyka smiled slightly, and he slowly raised his long sword, his eyes full of provocation

The three barbarians were very militarily strong, and they were not provoked by Joika's provocation, one of the barbarians stepped forward and brandished his saber to kill Joika, while the other two stood aside and watched - after the confrontation just now, the three barbarians understood Joika's power, so they changed their strategy and tried to exhaust Joika's body with a wheel battle

For the enemy's small calculations, Joyka could naturally see that he was secretly laughing in his heart, and the opponent's tactics were right in his hands, so this was just the right opportunity for him to break through

Although the advantage of the barbarians is shooting, it does not mean that they are not strong in melee combat, if Joyka feels that he can win easily in a one-on-one duel, then he is very wrong, Joyka also took it for granted at first, like most Olopa, that the barbarians of the Slavian Plains are the same as the orcs of the Shamannian Plains, they all adopt a frontal attack fighting style, but in fact it is the opposite, the barbarian sword technique derived from the Eastern martial arts is something Joyka has never seen before. Agility was the main move, attacking from angles that Joyka didn't expect, so he couldn't adapt for a while, so the first Barbarian fought Joika for several rounds without a win, and then the first Barbarian withdrew from the battle circle, and the second Barbarian rushed up

Although Joika felt aggrieved, he was extremely adaptable, and after the first round of wheel combat with the three barbarians, he quickly became accustomed to the barbarians' knife skills, and when the next barbarian rushed up, Joika actually turned and ran

Naturally, the barbarians would not let Joyka go, and they hurriedly chased after him, but Joyka only ran five or six steps before he suddenly stopped his steps, and he didn't look back, but stabbed back with his long sword

Yes--

The savage who was following behind screamed, and the saber landed on Joika's strange move, stabbing the tendon of his right hand, and removing his big finger, so that the hand could no longer hold the knife, and Joicka did not allow him to rest, turned around, and swiped a sword that landed precisely on the tendon of his left hand, and destroyed the finger of this hand - he made the opponent completely incapacitated

Damn, the other two barbarians were immediately enraged when they saw that their companions were injured by the despicable tricks, and they gave up the wheel battle, one blocked Joyka's retreat, and the other rushed to Joyka's retreat several times in a row, and slashed Joyka's legs with a saber, Joyka kept retreating, but the barbarian behind him let him go, and slashed Joyka in the back of the heart

Faced with a double slash of one back and one up, Joika did not panic, he jumped forward, jumped over the head of the barbarian in front of him, and when Joika landed on the ground, Joika heard a barbarian chasing him, and he grabbed a mixture of snow and gravel on the ground with his unarmed left hand, and threw it at the barbarian, while looking in the direction of the barbarian's charge, and stabbed a sword

Apparently the savage had no precautions against this more despicable method, and was immediately invisible to his eyes by the mixture of snow and gravel, but his body still rushed forward with all his might

Park--The long sword pierced into the heart of the human, and the barbarian spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, convulsed a few times, and slowly fell to his knees and died

Joyka was dumbfounded, he didn't think about killing this man, he just wanted to force his opponent away with the sword just now, he didn't expect this barbarian to be so stupid, his eyes couldn't see it, and he rushed forward, and he just hit the tip of the sword

Another barbarian was also stunned to see his companion die tragically

Suddenly, there was a sharp arrow in the air, and it was fired at Joika like a fire - the savage who had been knocked unconscious by Joica's elbow woke up, and he ran back to his mount, rode up, and drew his bow and arrows to shoot Joica

Joika dodged the arrow, but then there was a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and three sharp arrows rushed at him, and taking advantage of the opportunity for his companion to come out, the barbarian who was fighting with Joika hurriedly left him, picked up his wounded companion and ran towards their mount

After the battle just now, these barbarians already knew that they could not defeat this black and thin young man in close combat, so they had to use their proudest riding and archery skills to the extreme

But once again, they miscalculated, and although the shooting skills of the heroes were excellent, they were still indistinguishable in the face of the bow skills they had inherited from the elves

The two barbarians rode around Joika and fired deadly arrows, Joika spotted an opportunity to take the Mithril longbow from his back, Joika dodged the arrow from behind, he pulled the string, turned, and released the arrow in a half-crouching position—the arrows fired with the Mithril longbow were extremely powerful, and the barbarian he had locked on before he could dodge was shot by an arrow, and his neck was broken, and his headless corpse was planted off his horse

If the sword was a manslaughter, then the arrow was a deliberate murder, and at first Joika showed mercy to the barbarians, not wanting to kill them, because he didn't want to stiffen the relationship between his companions and the barbarians to allow room for negotiation, but since he had killed the first barbarian by mistake, Joika knew that he had only one thing to do: to kill the other witnesses

The other barbarian horse archer besieging him was astonished, and Joika's viciousness was completely unexpected, and under the control of the twin feelings of horror and anger, the man snapped his bowstring and fired a barrage of arrows at Joika, who was crouching on the ground and had not yet recovered from her shooting position

But Joyka didn't need to return to his original position, he rolled forward, and the arrows were nailed one by one to the path he had moved, and after some distance, Joyka turned and shot at the barbarian

The arrow streaked through the air in a string, piercing the barbarian's right hand with swift and precise precision, and his bow fell to the ground with a scream

Joyka immediately fired a second arrow—the barbarian's heart was pierced, and he fell straight on his horse, which was carrying the corpse of his master, and fled as fast as it could, and the blood left behind from the corpse stained a crimson path in the snow

In the end, only the barbarian with both hands and fingers was gone, he could not do it with either wielding a knife or drawing a bow, and he had lost his combat effectiveness, and when he saw his three companions being killed one after another, he was so frightened that he hurriedly raised the reins and drove him to step off his mount and escape from the range of Joyka's longbow

Hum...... Joika sneered, and he pulled his bow and aimed at the figure who was getting farther and farther away.......
