Chapter 5 Hunger Chooses Not to Eat

The mercenaries just thought that Digby was scaring people, and they all laughed at the natives of the mud area, saying that it was just an excuse for Digby to slip away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Avi and Van are the ones who have seen the weapons of life with their own eyes, whether it's the powerless Moon Shield, the mocking crossbow that killed Hughes, or the wooden staff that Golia has released into the air, all of these life weapons have their own characteristics. If this bandit leader called "Bearsparrow" really has a life-eating weapon, it may not be impossible. So when Avi and Fan followed behind the ten mercenaries, they had to discuss in a whisper what to do if they really encountered a weapon that would eat people.

After discovering the gate of the bandit's stronghold, everyone immediately crawled forward, slowly approaching the gate in the deep grass and trees in front of the stronghold. In the shadows, they could see that four bandits were standing guard at the entrance of the stronghold, and three of the four bandits had already dozed off against the wall.

After a whispered discussion, the mercenary team leader planned to storm the stronghold head-on, and then fight all the way into the cottage and kill all the bandits inside. Avi and Fan thought that they should investigate if there were any other entrances that could infiltrate the cottage, after all, no one, including Digby, knew how many bandits were in the cottage. If the number is small, it may be possible to successfully attack, but if the enemy is too numerous, it will be equivalent to death.

The team leader had to agree to give Avi and Fan fifteen minutes to scout, and when the time was up, they would rush out, kill the four janitors first, and then rush in to rescue the merchants.

Avi and Fan slowly bypassed the wooded area and went to the side of the cottage to begin to survey the terrain. The cottage is smaller than a small village, and the walls made of stone are not very high, and there are some wooden railings above the stone walls, which may require some footing if you want to climb over the walls to enter the stronghold.

When they patrolled the perimeter, they didn't find any bandits patrolling behind the walls and railings, and it was estimated that only the gate of this stronghold had bandits keeping vigil.

"I guess there are about fifty bandits in there. Avi lay down in the grass and said to Fan.

"How do you guess?"

"Normally, a soldier or mercenary who keeps vigil won't keep vigil more than three nights in a month, but if I'm the leader of the bandits, then I'll send a tenth of my minions to the vigil, and if the other bandit leaders don't have to keep vigil, then there are at least fifty people here. ”

"This is just your own speculation, I think there are only twenty people in this cottage at most, and not many people have just entered the basement of the tavern. ”

"I'd also like to have twenty people, but we should consider the worst-case scenario, which is a trade-off if we can only get Coral and Stitch out. After spending some time in the Potato Mercenary Group, Avi's thinking has become more thorough, and his analytical skills have improved a lot.

Fan nodded and said, "Well, anyway, the life or death of those merchants has nothing to do with me. ”

"Those mercenaries were confident that they could take out all the bandits here, and they left us with the task of rescuing the merchants, we should—" Before Avi could finish speaking, shouts and swords rang out from the main entrance of the stronghold.

"Oh no! they didn't wait for us to get back!" Bignose Fan and Avi had only been out for ten minutes, and the mercenaries had been out five minutes before they did. The two decided to climb over the walls from this place and infiltrate the colony when the mercenaries attracted the attention of the bandits.

The two found a place where they didn't need to step on their feet and slowly climbed up the stone wall. By the time the two climbed over the wooden railing, the bandits in the stronghold had already rushed out and rushed in the direction of the mercenaries.

"Hey, there are really forty or fifty bandits!" The big-nosed fan saw by the light of the torches next to him that many of the bandits who were still in a daze were already carrying weapons, and while shouting, they rushed out to the main gate of the stronghold.

"I've just seen that those mercenaries are not easy, so I'll leave it to them. Avi didn't hesitate, he knew that the most important thing was to recapture his and Fan's weapons first, and then rescue Coral and Stitch, after all, the big-nosed Fan with a sword couldn't use his abilities.

Taking advantage of the chaos among the bandits in the stronghold, the two walked along the wooden railing towards what appeared to be a cell. Sure enough, when I pushed open the wooden door, I saw the merchants who were all tied hand and foot. Coral and Stitch are the same, imprisoned on the sidelines. Coral and Stitch immediately showed surprise when they saw Avi and Fan, perhaps they had already thought that Avi and Fan had been killed by the thieves who had infiltrated the basement.

Avi and Fan immediately untied the others, and the freed Coral was immediately untied by the other merchants, and it was not until everyone broke free that Avi began to search for his weapon.

"Not here! Your weapons and my enchanted bow have been taken from the bandit leader, presumably in the bandit leader's room!" Coral said with a sign voice

Avi and Fan immediately understood, they knew that the attention of all the bandits was now attracted by the ten mercenaries, and it was estimated that there was no one in the room of the bandit leader. They then followed Coral in the direction they remembered, but the merchants asked Avi and Fan to join forces with the mercenaries to get rid of the bandits before they could retrieve their weapons.

"What to do?" Van asked Avi.

"Alright then, you guys are waiting here, let's go help the mercenaries first. Hearing this, Coral picked up a wooden stick and rushed out with Avi and Fan. And the aristocratic imp Stitch is not to be outdone, although he is only twelve years old, but he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he thinks that the other party is just a bandit, if he was not drugged, he will definitely not be caught. So Stitch also followed the three of them with his bare hands, intending to attack those bandits from behind.

Who would have thought that when the four of them rushed to the bandit stronghold, the ten mercenaries had already cleaned up the more than forty bandits, only a few of the bandits were still resisting, and most of the bandits had already died under the mercenaries' swords.

Before Avi and Fan could help, all the bandits who rushed out of the stronghold were dead, and I don't know if the bandits were too vulnerable or the strength of the dozen or so mercenaries was too strong.

The mercenary squad leader stabbed to death a bandit who fell to the ground and was injured, and then slowly walked over, although his face was covered with blood, but he was not injured, "Hmph, it's just a group of useless bandits, my brother and I can solve it in a few clicks, it's as simple as killing a chicken." ”

Avi quickly counted it, and only one person had lost on the mercenary's side, and there were thirty corpses of bandits on the ground, and a few had already abandoned their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"I really didn't expect you to be so strong..."The big-nosed Fan, who has always looked down on others, couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of him, while Avi planned to go to the leader's room with Fan immediately and get back his own weapon.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and a bloody mark was cut on the neck of the mercenary team leader. When the mercenary team leader reached out to cover his neck, his neck slowly separated from his body!

Stitch shouted in fright, and even the merchants who had run out after him fell to the ground in fright. Avi and Fan immediately held their swords to their chests, while the other mercenaries also noticed that a strong enemy was coming, and they all focused their attention.

Only then did Avi see that a man with a bare upper body, wearing a pair of leather pants, and a strange weapon on his right arm was standing in the distance, he was the one who killed the leader of the mercenary squad like a gust of wind!

"It's him! He's the 'Bearbird'..."As soon as Digby, who was hiding in the corner, shouted these words, he immediately covered his mouth with his hands, and only panic remained in his eyes.

"That's all the guy who killed all my men. The cloaked creature sneered, his eyes buried behind his hair looking at the mercenaries and Avi, who seemed to be the leader of the bandits in the mud area of Zeth.
