Chapter 89, an accident

readx; In the space of one minute, Ian had fully seen what magic archery was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He saw a woman in a black cloak not far in front of him suddenly turn around from her horse, raise her hand and unleash the hideous-looking bow and arrow in her hand.

Ian, who was a scout of the legion, immediately bowed his head and lay on the back of his horse, he didn't want to be injured by the other party, but then his ears only heard the screaming sound of fluttering together from far and near, and the galloping bow and arrow carried a strong wind, as if it was about to tear the eardrums, and he could clearly feel that his hair and the corners of his clothes were being blown back, and the chasing soldiers behind him who were shouting loudly immediately turned into muffled snorts and screams, and then there was a crackling fall.

After about a minute, the screaming finally died down, and Ian glanced back on the horse's back, and then as if a snowflake had fallen into the collar of his clothes, his entire back was covered with goosebumps in an instant.

A dozen pursuers all fell from their horses to the ground, and all those who could see were killed by arrows in their foreheads.

Ian couldn't help but shudder, he didn't know who the two people in front of him who saved him were, but this kind of supernatural archery was probably not even comparable to the sharpshooters of the legion.

Ian turned his head to look ahead again, and the archer had turned around and looked at him as if he were completely unrelated.

Erwin let go of Susan's horse's reins, and the two walked side by side, slowly navigating the woods.

After a while, the man behind him, who seemed to be frightened stupidly, finally came to his senses and quickened his horse to chase after him.

"Hey I say, wait a minute."

Ian panted and ran to Elwin's side, the bantam he was riding under his ass more than a head lower than the tall black-maned horse, so much so that Ian had to tilt his head up to see Erwin's face.

He thought this guy seemed to be very talkative, and then he showed a hearty smile: "Thank you two, thank you for saving me." I'm Ian, a former scout of the Crusaders, now a militiaman. Are you mercenaries? Or an adventurer? ”

Seeing that the militiaman who had just escaped was a little familiar, Erwin turned his head to look at him carefully.

Ian has short gray hair, he has just left the Legion, he has not had time to grow his hair back, his face is very typical of the northern race, Bonn descendants, under the thick eyebrows, a pair of bright big eyes and a straight nose, he looks like a very sunny boy.

In fact, Ian is twenty-five years old, but his somewhat out-of-the-box personality combined with his immature appearance makes him not destined to be a taciturn person.

As for this militia question, Erwin didn't have anything to say, just nodded and said: "Well, it's an adventurer, I was just watching from the sidelines, if you want to thank you, you can thank the ...... of the silver moon next to you."

Before Erwin could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his back, and Susan quickly took off the winged bow and stabbed him hard where Ian couldn't see.

It seems that not only archery, but also Susan's proficiency in the skill of the wing bow is also steadily improving.

Erwin silently complained about it, and saw Ian blink and look at him suspiciously, and then control the bantam to speed a few steps beyond Erwin's position so that he could see Susan's appearance.

"Thank you, Marksman, very good archery, much better than those bastards of the Crossblade Legion." Ian praised from the bottom of his heart, especially when the other party was still a beautiful girl, of course, he knew very well that the group of adventurers could not be divided into strong and weak by gender.

However, with the exception of the Elven Realm of the Nature's Breath Alliance, powerful female archers among humans are rare after all.

Susan nodded faintly in response, she glanced at Ian, then frowned and asked, "Your village was just destroyed, but I can't tell your anger or sadness from your expression, are you really a militia?" ”

"Of course, of course I'm a militiaman, for the real thing." Ian hurriedly raised the Perth longsword in his hand, this unsheathed longsword is more crude than the standard longsword of the legionnaires, and even the mercenaries who have more money on hand can't look down on it, and the large-scale redressing of the militia in the territory during the reign of King Lorenzo III has a history of decades now, and it can be regarded as one of the symbols of the militia.

Of course, Lorenço's militia still had coniferous armbands, but almost no one wore them anymore.

"Of course I'm angry at what these bandits have done, and I want to kill them all, but ......," Ian touched his head a little embarrassed, "it's not my village, I'm just passing through." ”

Susan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said no more, but Erwin was keenly aware of an anomaly in Ian's words, and he stared into the eyes of the militia and asked, "You said robbers?" Their atrocities are no different from those of bandits, but I think those people must be dressed as the army of North Sunderland, right? ”

"North Sunderland's army......" Ian sighed, not knowing what he was thinking, and then shook his head vigorously, "No, those people are indeed robbers, I have participated in the encirclement and suppression of the bandit group with them before, and I know very well what this group of people looks like, this damn group of people who don't know where to steal North Sunderland's army uniforms, actually fished in troubled waters during the war." ”

Looking at the indignant Ian, Erwin and Susan glanced at each other without a trace.

Neither of them expected that there would be such an accident, the steel-toothed hammer never left a living mouth when he plundered with the bandits, because he was afraid that the current accident would be recognized when he was impersonating Lorenzo's army.

"There is such a thing, this group of people is really bold, what kind of bandit group is so mad."

Erwin decided to find out the identities of this group of minions of the Finalists that they used to cover up.

Fortunately, Ian was completely a man with no city, and immediately responded loudly: "Who else, of course, is the damned brutes of the Blackclaw Bandits, they never leave a living mouth when they plunder, and it is indeed better to describe it as madness." ”

Erwin nodded, steering the blackmaned horse over a small, dry ditch in the woods.

The three of them quickly made their way through the woods to a road that was not very smooth.

It could have been an off-the-beaten-path place, after all, it was a remote corner of the Iron Hoof Plains, and there were no major roads that had been repaired.

However, due to the outbreak of war, the main arterial roads were blocked by the armies of both sides, and the convoys or caravans that were still passing through the Iron Hoof Plain during this time had to find a way to bypass the main fighting areas on the plain.

This remote path is one of the choices of many, and it is possible to take a large semi-circular route around the entire Iron Hoof Plains to the city of Sand Dun, a city in Lorenzo that has not yet been affected by the war.

Although the road is much farther away, it is much safer than the battlefield, and you must know that the army in the war does not matter which country you are from, if you encounter a caravan, first seize the goods as military supplies.

For these reasons, the trail became lively during this period, and from time to time long caravans and caravans could be seen navigating the mountainous terrain.

Of course, it's not just the merchants who have their eyes on this road, and the bandit bandits in Lorenzo have also set their sights on this mountain trail that has been frequented by fat sheep lately.

The area of the low woods is the very edge of the Iron Hoof Plain, and after passing through it, you really enter the mountainous area.

However, unlike the mountains near Black Pearl Cell, and the mountains where the steel tooth and iron hammer are used as dens, this adjacent mountain on the edge of the Iron Hoof Plain does not have an endless sea of forests, and the mountains in many places are bare, with only one or two lonely plants scattered on them, and as far as the eye can see, it is an undulating gray-black bare surface, which can be described as desolate and barren.

Erwin and Susan planned to go to Sand Shield City, and then made a detour to the hinterland of Lorenzo's territory, and after entering the mountains, Ian actually followed the two of them, and when they asked, they found out that he also planned to go to Sand Shield City.

Erwin didn't have any opinion, and didn't ask him what he was doing in Sand Shield City, just chatted with him along the way.

For this militiaman who didn't keep his mouth shut, Erwin didn't spend much saliva to get everything he wanted.

Ian himself is a hunter and a reserve militia member who has participated in several military operations by the Crusader Legion against bandits.

After the outbreak of the military conflict with North Sunderland, he was recruited by the Crossblade Legion into the army to train as a scout, but with his quiet character, he naturally couldn't be a scout, and it seemed that he also suffered from battlefield syndrome, and he was kicked back by the non-commissioned officer to continue to be his militia after only one battle.

It's rare for a soldier like this to be kicked back in the middle of the war, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a shame for a soldier, but Ian doesn't care about it at all, and instead thinks it's a good thing to survive.

As for the rest of the situation that came out of Ian's mouth, Erwin was basically certain that the Blackclaw Bandits were one of the masterpieces of the End-of-Life cultists.

It is also a ruthless bandit group that never leaves a living mouth, does not accept ransom, and the frequency of looting is also very small, but the scale and combat effectiveness are among the best in the bandit group in Lorenzo.

It's almost a copy of the Steeltooth Hammer Bandits.

However, the only difference is that on the Iron Hoof Plains, the maintenance of law and order is the city defense army stationed in the various cities of North Sunderland, because they are too scattered, they are a little powerless to encircle and suppress the steel tooth hammer.

But on Lorenzo's side, stationed here is the Kingdom's elite legion Crossblade, which has already beaten the Blackclaw bandits and moved to their dens several times.

That's why there is an accident like Ian, knowing that the Blackclaw bandits are pretending to be an army to burn and loot
