Chapter 0510: Rest
Lord Exxon ran fast.
A second ago, he was still within ten meters, as if he could call him by saying hello. In the next second, he somehow found a tube of acceleration medicine and poured it into his stomach, and his butt was injured and he could run faster than a horse.
As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he went to the stables and disappeared.
However, the horses of the stables had been tampered with by Adrian's gang beforehand - the horses were fine, but the straps of the saddle were all cut a little.
The burly and stout Lord Exxon had no problem getting on his horse, and it was no problem to run away on horseback. But after running less than 100 meters, the tie was completely broken.
The saddle is loose, and the war horse is flirting. The lord sat on the ground, and at the moment of screaming, he seemed to have blood collapsed from many years of old hemorrhoids, and his trembling voice scared the gray wolves in the night to escape.
Tias also fled. This rookie was lucky, his whole body was fully armored, and the arrows fired by the half-elf archers failed to kill him.
The hunt team had to rescue the rangers and wanderers in the team, and focused on hunting down Exxon, so Tias was wounded and fled into the darkness outside the town.
As for the rest of the Long-Legged family, they weren't so lucky.
Several knights were barricaded in their own occupied houses, and died in extreme poverty. Most of the bandits who were called up were annihilated, and only single-digit trash fish fled.
This operation once again proved that a lightly armed and powerful squad can react quickly and strike quickly with reliable intelligence support.
Any enemy who dares to offend the 'rich and powerful' should be careful, as the cost of crime will increase considerably. Once exposed, one or more hunting teams will target them.
In the collapsed building, Ranger Mahan and his halfling partner are rescued. The force field ball released by Exxon as he fled was extremely powerful, and both men suffered a lot of damage.
However, there is a plague priest in the team, and the 'healing of minor injuries' and holy water can be restored on the same day. This is a great benefit for maintaining the team's combat strength.
Late at night, the town is still deserted. The inhabitants closed their doors, and few people knew that the nobles and bandits who had committed abuse during the day had died and fled.
The wreckage of the dismantled carriage in the small square has not yet been cleared. Through the crackling bonfire, Adrian found most of the parts, shook his head, and said, "The crumbs of the long-legged family have taken the axle with them. ”
The mayor and a few of the smiths were found and questioned.
Mondino came over with his staff and inspected the disassembled parts, but said reassuringly, "It's okay, the lord said that the axle is not the key to a heavy carriage. ”
People who don't know how to do it only look at the appearance, and feel that the carriage of the 'rich and strong leader' has all kinds of advantages. But they couldn't see that behind the carriage was a manufacturing system.
Zhou Qingfeng has worked hard for this system, and he still relies on the assistance of the strange maid to get it done. The precise axle is not afraid of being snatched away, but some small details on the carriage are easy to be copied.
For example, harnesses.
Exxon, as a knight, didn't even pay much attention to the harness on the carriage. Probably he usually only rode horses, never worked as a coachman, and even waited on the horses to the attendants.
After receiving treatment, the ranger Mahan, who was frozen almost all over, was still indignant. It's a shame that the sneak attack and the reinforcement attack failed to take out Exxon.
"Exxon is the captain of the guard of the Longlegs family, and he was originally the top ten big man in Coldwind City. It would be strange if he didn't have some means to save his life. ”
Adrian learns the identity of the enemy from the mayor, and realizes that he almost caught a big fish this time. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't catch it, 'Joker' never chases about the irreparable.
Mahan shook his head from his companion's comfort, and the third-level ranger smiled bitterly, "You don't understand how much I hate those nobles, I always dream that they will pay for their evil deeds. ”
Mahan has been in the City of Coldwind for many years, and his face is full of wind and frost. Who could have known that this tall man was only in his early thirties. He said no more, just sat in the open space of the small square, looking at his tower shield with pity.
Ranger is an excellent hunter who walks through mountains and forests. They are proficient in a variety of weapons and are good at tracking and survival in the wild. However, very few Ranger will use such a large piece of equipment as the Tower Shield.
Mahan was an exception, however, as he had previously used a wooden shield to draw the attention of his enemies and prepare his companions for attack. If he wanted to retreat, he would also walk at the end with a large shield.
In short, Mahan is responsible for the hard work of the team, and he is as reliable as a big shield. In case of trouble, companions can count on his help.
With such a real person, the relationship in the team will not be too bad.
Because of Mahan's composure and reliability, Adrian recruited him and wanted the territory's forge to make a strong enough steel shield for him.
Zhou Qingfeng learned about this, and personally chatted with Ma Han, and specially sent him a tower shield of aluminum-magnesium alloy.
Zhou Qingfeng had such a 'silver shield' before, which was light and sturdy, and had considerable magic resistance. But he didn't use much, and gave Arcie to use to shape his body.
Hardened aluminum-magnesium alloy is used for the protection of armored vehicles, which can reach half the strength of evenly rolled armor steel, and only one-third of the weight.
The real-world smelting industry is highly developed, and the strength of armor steel is so high that even cutting and welding are a problem. Aluminum alloy can have half the strength of armor steel, which is already an artifact-like existence.
One-third of the weight greatly reduces the burden on the holder.
Aluminum alloy was used by Uncle Zhou to make 'platinum coins'. The weight of this shield alone is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, which is really staggeringly expensive.
Because of its light weight and super high strength, Mahan couldn't put down this 'silver-white' tower shield.
Today, if it weren't for the damage reduction brought about by the magic resistance of the 'Silver Shield', Mahan, as a ranger, would have been frozen into an ice sculpture by the extreme cold. At the end of the battle, he rubbed his fingers against the scratches on his shield that had been slashed by Exxon with an ice axe, and he was distressed to death.
"Don't worry, you can fix it with a repair technique when you go back." Adrian patted Mahan on the shoulder.
"Don't lie to me." Mahan shook his head in frustration, "This is magic equipment, at least thirty percent of the magic damage is reduced, and the repair technique is ineffective against it." ”
Well....., Adrian didn't understand, so he could only comfort again: "Lord Lord must have a way." Can he give you this shield, can he fix it? ”
The hunting party is resting.
The mayor who was brought in late at night was already stupid. The big people in front of me keep appearing as if they were singing. In less than a day, what happened in Green Valley could be sung for decades.
The lord of the long-legged family brought a vote of bandits and made a mess of the town. It's a disaster.
But at night, a group of more ruthless masters came and cut and killed the people of the long-legged family. This ...... is actually a disaster.
Bodies littered the ground on the side of the hotel. Some were shriveled and withered, more terrible than flesh and blood.
As for the other knights, they were either hacked to death in the bed, or they were dismantled when they fled in embarrassment. Even Master Exxon, who took the lead, was wounded and fled.
"Ladies and gentlemen." The mayor looked at Adrian and the others, and crawled on the ground and cried, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any orders?" ”
For Green Valley Town, whether it is the long-legged family or the 'rich and powerful leader', the town's militia has no power to resist. At best, they fend off bandits roaming the wilderness, and the rest are left to their fate.
Adrian and the others are here to carry out a hunting mission, and rescuing Green Valley Town is just a matter of hand. They plan to stay overnight and return to Coldwind City tomorrow.
Adrian said he wouldn't ask for anything and would find a place to stay for one night at most.
But the mayor of the town knelt on the ground and continued to cry: "The old man is gone, what if the Longleg family comes back?" Lord Exxon won't let us go, he'll kill everyone in town. ”
In the hunting team, everyone immediately looked at each other.
The necromancer suggested in a hoarse and bitter tone, "War in the Northlands is coming, and everyone is not immune. There will be a lot of life that will wither.
If you want to protect yourself, don't be a rocky wall-to-wall. It's time to choose a side and take refuge once and for all. Otherwise, villages and towns like yours will soon be destroyed. ”
