Chapter XVII: The Fallen Aristocrats

The two mercenary captains immediately issued an order to the mercenaries on the ship, "These damn guys really dare to attack the nobles!"

"Don't be afraid, let the one-eared mercenary group stand in the way first!" a regimental commander picked up his sword and slowly walked to the rear of Gesin.

All the members of the one-eared mercenary group hiding in the residential building were gone, and the guy who picked up the iron crossbow again shot the sharp iron crossbow arrows towards the mercenaries on the shore. Suddenly, the air of the harbor was filled with iron-smelling iron crossbow arrows, like a large field of flying locusts across the sky. And just when the port mercenaries realized it, most of the iron crossbow arrows had passed through their bodies, permeating with a stronger smell of blood, and at this time, some of the mercenaries were "nailed" to the floor by the crossbow arrows before they turned around.

"Shoot those crossbowmen down for me!" shouted "False Ear" Gesin as he used his sword to intercept the flying crossbow arrows. I don't know if it's because he has lost one ear, and the other ear is fake, the death roar of the iron crossbow bolt didn't affect him in the slightest, and he couldn't feel the fear of hearing.

Some of the mercenaries of the one-eared mercenary group found the corner where they were hiding, and immediately pulled up the short bow in their hands and fired back at the residential building. However, the residential buildings surrounded the central square like a pot lid, and some of the residential buildings were still more than three floors, and the strength of the short carpenter's counterattack was not enough to pose a threat to the crossbow troops on the upper floors, and even some of the arrows that flew out were loaded with iron crossbow arrows in front of the air and were penetrated to pieces.

Suddenly, the extremely dazzling sunlight shone from the direction of the cavalry squadron of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and the power like a shock wave of air currents made most of the mercenaries on the shore unable to open their eyes, and the remaining incandescent wall of light that could barely be seen rushed straight to this side, but their eyes were already stinging and tearful. From the direction of the residential building, it can be seen that the cavalry team put the cavalry-type moon shields in their hands in a row, and the cavalry team in the back row is also unified and lined up in a neat row, using the inclined silver and white shields to refract the noon sun, and the naked eye of ordinary people cannot resist this attack like a tongue of white fire.

Standing on a boat, Fei De was holding a knife, and he was amazed at the power of the sunlight, and he instantly realized that the people he saw in the morning could not use the characteristics of a cavalry-type moon shield, "It requires strict time and formation requirements." Fed lowered his head and covered himself with the planks on the edge of the boat.

The mercenaries, who were dizzy from the sunlight, were even more panicked, and the formation that had begun to resist the rain of crossbow arrows was suddenly disrupted again. The mercenaries either trampled on others and fled for their lives, or they lay on their stomachs and moved slowly. And the blood flowing in the square has gradually flowed into the sea, and many people slipped as they fled. The cavalry of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment immediately stepped up their assault. From the side of the port, it was only a hundred meters away from the place where the one-eared mercenary group was concentrated, and it rushed to the front of the "one-eared" Gaisin.

Covering his eyes with his hands, Gesin threw his iron sword at the fastest advancing horse, hitting the horse's neck, and the horse's cavalry fell to the ground with a terrible roar, and his body was trampled by his companions who galloped behind.

"Why haven't those guys who are hiding in the boat come down!?" said one of the mercenary leaders, fending off the incoming knives with his sword.

"Look at the boats!"

Only then did the commander of the mercenary group realize that he did not know who had cut the thick hemp ropes that bound the ship when, and the hull of the ship began to float out of the harbor because the tide was slowly receding. The mercenaries armed with short-range weapons could only stand on the ship and watch the one-eared mercenary group that was broken by the cavalry squadron.

"Either let them jump into the water and swim over!, or row the boat for Lao Tzu himself!" shouted one of the regiment commanders.

"Most of the soldiers don't know how to be water, and those sailors have already disembarked!"

Although the other mercenary group leader said this, under the roar of the group leader, several brave and dutiful guys jumped off the boat and swam hard to the shore. And these guys have already thrown away the heavy armor and knives, otherwise they would not be able to swim to the harbor even with all their strength, and they would only sink to the bottom of the sea and become the dinner of the fish.

"You shit, even if you swim over, it's useless. Gesin shot one of the cavalrymen in the ear with a short bow, and he himself picked up a weapon from the corpse on the ground, and even said to the two foreign mercenary group leaders with a smile, "But I have already sent my deputy to find other mercenary groups in Free City, and the number of the other party is not much, just kill the ones upstairs."

Before he could finish his sentence, an iron crossbow arrow was shot into the throat of one of the leaders of the alien mercenary group. The regimental commander gripped the iron crossbow arrow tightly with both hands, but before he could pull it out, he fell backwards, spurting blood to death.

"What a waste of my saliva. Gesin helped him pull out the arrow that had gone through his throat, threw it on the ground, and began to retreat to the other side of the harbor.

The crossbowmen upstairs began to reduce the frequency of their firing, on the one hand, some of the mercenaries of the one-eared mercenary group had already poured up from the corridor and entered the corridor for melee combat, and on the other hand, the cavalry squadron that Xue Rui was in had completely dispersed the mercenary group on the shore. There are more than 100 corpses lying on the ground or about to become corpses! The smell of blood fills the entire shore square, and it feels a bit like being in a large live fish market, except that human flesh has become fish. And the innocent people in the vicinity have long fled far away, except for a few good people who rushed to hear the news.

"It's too fierce over there, miss, don't go over there, wait for me!" The huge harpoon on Greif's back was already in his hand, and the weight was so great that he could barely keep up with the light Silk.

Keth rushed over from the neighborhood, wondering where Fentry was, and only when she saw the mercenaries fighting each other did she start to worry about him.

"That cold guy is so strong, he shouldn't die, right?" thought to Kesi, but she thought about it, "Actually, I don't know where he is strong, he doesn't have a good weapon, as if he relies on his bare hands every time." After all, she had Greif, a hundred enemies, by her side, and her sense of security rose in vain.

The troop-carrying ships of the foreign mercenary group drifted farther and farther, and several mercenaries worked together to throw the big iron anchor down the river so that the boat would not fly away, but the group of soldiers, who did not understand water nature and had no sailors, could only watch the battle on the shore from a distance. The brave and dutiful ones were unarmed, and the lucky ones grabbed the weapons that were thrown on the ground and entered the battle, and the unlucky ones were knocked out by the cavalry at once.

"All of them immediately cleaned up the remaining opponents, and the finished ones came with me on the boat. Eddie, the squadron leader of the cavalry squadron of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, gave the order on his horse, and he himself took out another short sword from his waist, then hung the cavalry moon shield on the back saddle of the war horse, and walked to the ship where the nobles were with his weapon.

Xue Rui was the first to take his sword and fall off his horse, and then several other cavalrymen wiped out the mercenaries around him before dismounting. Most of the mercenaries of the One-Eared Mercenary Regiment in the port were slashed to the ground by sabers, and many of the mercenaries who were wounded by iron crossbow arrows lay on the ground struggling, groaning in despair.

"Greif, look! The blood of those people is going to the sea, black and red."

Kleth covered her mouth with her hand, and the sight in front of her was rendered to the extreme by the smell of blood, and the fierce sun gave the corpse and blood a strange smell, so that all the smells mixed together, and Greif couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"The worst of all are the guys who are injured and fall to the ground, if it is a fish I catch, it will definitely be a pain. But even my family's fishing grounds don't smell of blood," Greif pulled Keth into a corner so that some of the escaped members of the One-Eared Mercenary Regiment would bump into them.

"False Ear" Gaisin and his lieutenants have long since disappeared, and most of the remaining members of the One-Eared Mercenary Regiment were wiped out in the corridor by the crossbowmen in the building and the dismounted cavalry of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment. The other mercenary groups that should have arrived early didn't show up, and some of the "brave" guys were the first to clean up the battlefield - constantly switching corpse targets, searching for valuable things and stuffing them into their trouser pockets right away.

Eddie, along with Cherry, and a few others boarded the ship carrying the dozen or so nobles.

"Did you kill these nobles?" Eddie pointed at Fiddle, who was sitting on the edge of the boat, with his dagger. Feder didn't have a weapon in his hand at this time, and he was dressed in neat black armor, looking at the corpses of the dozen nobles with a blank face, and didn't answer Eddie.

Xue Rui stepped forward to check the aura of the nobles one by one, and found that he had been killed for a long time, and most of them had been blocked by a blow from a short weapon. When she had finished inspecting it, she gave Eddie a small brass dagger, the only weapon on the ground that had ever appeared on the ship, and whispered a few words in the squadron leader's ear, keeping their eyes off Field.

Eddie ordered his subordinates to scrutinize the nobles' bodies, looking like they were looking for something. Soon some pieces of paper full of words were found from a male nobleman. The cabin was loaded with all kinds of rare valuables and gold coins that had been brought back, but none of the people of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment touched them.

"You've done a great job, you've even done our job," Eddie half-bent over and picked up Feder with one hand, "I heard from Cherry, you want to join us." Just a moment before he touched Fed's armor, Fed stood up on his own.

Fett shook his head, then nodded, and said, "I didn't kill them, but I do want to join you." ”

"Oh, that's okay, you'll have more chances to kill when you join us," Eddie took off his windshield mask, revealing gray-black hair, a neat big back hairstyle. "You are a humble and expectant killer. ”
