Chapter 19: The Dagger

readx;?“ I hit two lighting spells down the mountain, but the enemy is hidden in the bushes, and I can't determine the strength and number of magicians in the enemy's camp, but from the ice burst magic just now, the opponent has at least one intermediate magician in charge, and if the enemy rushes up in a while, I will be responsible for dealing with him.

"Great, as long as we can suppress the other party's magician, we can be sure to hold this mountain. ”

Captain Bloom felt a little more relieved after listening to Frank's words.

"The enemy didn't launch a ground attack at all? Why didn't I even see a single figure?"

Alan looked down for a moment, then turned to Captain Bloom with a questioning look on his face.

"Yes, they didn't launch a real attack, and the people had been hiding in the bushes below, probably not ready. ”

Captain Bloom said so, but Alan could see that he himself was actually puzzled, this was not the combat style of horse bandits.

"So who discovered the enemy first?"

Alan's doubts deepened.

"The first warning from the Higg army, when we came up, we only found that there seemed to be people in the bushes below the mountain, but there was no attack. ”

Captain Bloom explained further.

"Why didn't you attack, wasn't the Ice Burst Magic an attack just now? we injured at least five people, and..."

Frank suddenly interjected.

"No, that spell didn't fly up from below, it was cast from the west side of the hill. ”

Alan interrupted Frank's words, pointing in the direction of where the Higg cavalry were.

"On what basis do you judge that our own people did it?"

Frank was also furious and yelled at Allen.

"They have problems, not their own people. ”

Alan also shouted loudly, and Bloom next to him was a little confused, especially Allen's sentence that he was not his own person made him dizzy.

"The horse bandits have rushed up, leave the goods alone, let's run quickly. ”

The caravan owner Victor didn't know when, but as soon as he spoke, Alan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally thought of a possibility, and once this possibility was established, the so-called problems seemed to be logical.

"Boss, did you mention that the horse bandits used to be Higg's regular army, and there were some magicians among the horse bandits. ”

Allen's eyes were blazing, and he stared at the face of his boss Victor and said.

"I... I didn't say, what regular army, what magicians, if you don't go, I'll go first. ”

Under Allen's questioning, Victor's expression was still pretending to be calm, but there was a panicked look in his eyes, he hurriedly responded, and then turned to leave, but just took a step, but he tripped over a lump of dirt that suddenly appeared under his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Captain Bloom saw this scene and hurriedly went up to help.

"The so-called Higg's army over there is simply horse bandits, and you!" Alan suddenly pointed to the boss Victor, who had just struggled on the ground with Bloom's support, and sneered: "You are basically with horse bandits." ”

Hearing this, Bloom's body suddenly froze, and then he felt a piercing cold air in his lower abdomen suddenly break through his body.

"You...!"

Bloom slapped his palm in anger, but Victor on his side had already flipped out one by one, and his body was agile like a rabbit that had been avoiding the pursuit of the goshawk, and Bloom's palm suddenly hit the air.

"I didn't expect to be discovered by you. I was entrusted by Uma to spare your life, but I didn't expect you to die by yourself. ”

As soon as the boss Victor escaped Bloom's grasp, he jumped up from the ground and retreated towards the western side, only to stop when he had taken ten steps back and maintained a safe enough distance. He held a one-foot-long dagger with a glittering cold light, and the most shocking thing was that the hilt of the short sword was inlaid with a blue crystal the size of a fingernail, which was actually an exquisite magic weapon.

"Ahh

The thick silver fighting spirit on Captain Bloom's body flashed, he snorted, the whole person took two steps back, his legs trembled, and he almost fell, Alan stepped forward to support him, but where his hands touched, there was a piercing coldness, and at this time, Bloom's face was already pale, and his lips trembled and he couldn't even say a word.

"Extreme cold. ”

Frank stared at Victor and squeezed a few words out between his teeth.

"Haha! It is worthy of Herbert's apprentice, he has a good eye, this sword was also his masterpiece at the beginning, and I spent a lot of money to get it, speaking of which, I have a good relationship with Herbert's great magician, but unfortunately, today..."

Lifting the dagger in his hand, the boss Victor's expression was very proud, although his dagger is small, but it is made of top materials and top forging technology, in order to achieve a good magic guiding effect, it is mixed with a large number of rare metals such as mythril, and the tip is also inlaid with the purest water-based magic crystal, although limited by the volume, the energy stored in it is very small, but it can release a miniature extremely cold magic in the shortest possible time.

During the attack and defense of Baden, the dragon Userondia was hit by the extremely cold magic on the magic javelin thrown by the cyclops, which was extremely lethal to individual creatures, even with the dragon's innate demon-resistant physique, it was still unbearable, let alone ordinary humans. Fortunately, the crystal on the magic sword in Victor's hand is very small, and the magic energy stored is limited, and as a high-level swordsman, Bloom's own body protection and fighting qi also play a defensive role, so there is not much magic energy that invades his body, otherwise he would have become a lump of ice.

"Mr. Victor, this is the end of today's matter, we have no relationship in the past and no enmity in the near future, as if nothing happened, how about it?"

The one who spoke was Frank, and if Captain Bloom was injured, then he would replace Bloom as the head of the mercenary team. At this time, Frank had already seen that the "Higg army" that was originally on the west side of the defense had abandoned its defensive position, and more than fifty people stood in three rows in an arc and surrounded it, the first row was shields and spears, the second row was swordsmen, and the third row was crossbowmen, among which there were three magicians wearing armor and holding wands standing in the crossbowman array, which looked nondescript. Frank only realized at this time that Alan was not joking just now, the Higg army is the horse bandits, they should have been stolen after chasing the horse bandits this afternoon, as for the real Hig army, it is estimated that it has already been more than lucky, but as a mercenary, he has no grudge against the horse bandits, so if he can calm things down, maybe he can escape this catastrophe. Frank didn't want things to turn into bloodshed, the most important thing was that he didn't have any confidence in defeating the enemy in front of him.
