Volume 2 [Chapter 77] Bow and Arrow Hunter, Miki.

Twenty horse-loaded wagons left the road and found a small mound in the wilderness with a wide view, forming a triangle.

This is the usual way for caravans to defend their convoys in the field. It can not only use the carriage as a simple cover to resist the onslaught of bandit horses and bow and arrow fire, but also can quickly start a breakthrough in an emergency. If necessary, they can also split into three teams and escape in three different directions.

Of the sixty guards of the caravan, except for the road scouts who had already been dispatched and had just set off on horseback, the rest of the people gathered around the carriage to stand guard. The other sixty or seventy fellow coachmen were apparently also armed. They worked in groups of three, drawing their swords and holding their swords, looking around vigilantly.

In addition to the caravan itself's escorts, the largest escort force on this trip to Muni City was the two mercenary squads hired by Fergus and two brave freelancers.

The first mercenary team is named [Thorn], and there are nine members. The class configuration is one knight and two non-commissioned officers, two archers and hunters, one axe warrior, two large shield swordsmen, and one medic. The captain's name is Musi, and he is a four-star armed knight who specializes in charging with a spear.

Another mercenary squad is named [Blaze], with seven members, and the occupation configuration is two knights and two non-commissioned officers, two archers and arrows, and a large shield swordsman. The captain's name is Alder, although his Dou Qi cultivation has exceeded the third order, he has the strength of a brave knight, and his profession is a great shield swordsman.

These two mercenary squads are both from the famous [Ice Star] mercenary group, and they are also third-level mercenary squads that have passed the combat effectiveness evaluation of the mission hall, and they have rich experience in escorting.

Because it is also a third-level mercenary squad, the individual combat strength of the Blaze Squad, which has fewer people and a more uneven class configuration, is significantly stronger. In particular, the captain Alder has a large shield made of all steel and a one-handed sword that ordinary people can only use with two hands, and they are extremely fierce.

Although Fergus was somewhat dismissive of Fergus's caution, when the order was given, the mercenaries of the two squads quickly began to set up defenses in the center of the car, according to their respective duties.

"You, you still have you, over here. ”

In the scorching midday sun, in the dust of the wilderness, Alder, the leader of the Blazing Light Squad, strode around the convoy and commanded the mercenaries.

"Trek, come to this carriage and set up an armor-piercing crossbow. Thomas, come here, put the wheels of these two cars on a stone and let the driver release the brake sticks, hey, boy, get out of the way.

Roy, who had just dismounted, was pushed away by this strong man, stumbling under his feet, and almost fell down.

"Hahahaha. ”

The men who were working in full swing around the same area let out a burst of laughter.

Everyone knew that Alder had only happened to be there, but the last few steps were towards Roy. If it weren't for this little bastard who didn't understand the fart but put on a well-informed look and said, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years", why would the big guy be busy here.

Everyone is a veteran mercenary, who has traveled all over the Lulian all year round, and knows every road well.

This section of the road is just a short distance from the river Hirai, and is a small plateau up the river beach. On the edge of Barony Smith of Edinsmith, near Viscount Wenger.

It's relatively densely populated. There are two villages around it and several noble estates. There was a large battalion of the militia of the aristocracy and the peasant households to protect themselves. Although most of them are farmers with iron forks, there are still a few powerful guys among them, and they are also mercenaries who have been working in the mission hall of Edin City all year round.

In addition, this area is surrounded by continuous mountains and jungle swamps in the north and south, and the whole terrain shrinks at the crossing beach of the Hilley River, forming a funnel shape, except for the more open territory of Viscount Wenger in the east, the other three are not suitable for escape, so they are the most unsuitable places for bandits to raid.

Besides, now the front and back are guarded by Viscount Wenger's guards, even if there are bandits nearby, it is absolutely impossible to be stupid enough to launch an attack here. Therefore, this hustle and bustle is completely redundant!

Mercenaries walk outside all year round, doing the work of taking people's money for others to eliminate people's money. Along the way, the wind and food slept in the open and licked the blood at the knife edge, not to mention, when you meet powerful bandits, you have to fight with your life. Therefore, most of the characters are stubborn and impatient, and the most unaccustomed thing is that laymen point fingers at them.

What's more, this-stirring stick who didn't know how to pretend to understand was originally just a companion, neither a member of the caravan nor a hired guard, so the big guy was even more bored with this kid. Seeing Alder's light touch, the skinny Roy almost flew out, and everyone laughed. ,

A few of them coaxed: "Boy, watch the road, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Hahaha. ”

Hearing the commotion here, Ivan and Sanjie, who were not far away, glared at each other, turned their horses' heads and were about to come, Roy shook his head at them, ignored the guys, and led the horses to the side with Malt.

Skillfully unsaddling and tying it again, tightening the belt under the horse's belly, checking the horseshoe and bridle, attaching the ruling in the form of a long sword to his waist, and inserting a riding spear and a half-moon axe into his horse's back, Roy untied a package from his horse's back and took out a suit of armor.

Ever since the last battle of the south of Medin City, the armor he had just bought turned into ashes with the power of Darney, the commander of Philia's strikers, Roy knew that if he wanted to survive in this world, he needed at least one set of armor that could save his life at a critical moment.

Therefore, during his three days in Medin City, in addition to carving the magic pattern for Joseph's saddle, he spent every day in the mission hall, the auction hall and the market, searching for the materials needed to create the magic armor.

But it's a pity that after three days of searching, Roy didn't find anything good, and he saw a piece of cold iron that had not been forged in the auction house, and he actually sold it for a sky-high price of 30,000 gold lulangs. It will take a long time for me to acquire the materials I need to forge my armor.

Ponder over. He had an idea. I thought to myself: Even if I haven't condensed the battle ring yet, with the magic core and the power of the demon ring, I can use the magic pattern to play some auxiliary role. Just like cultivating in the water every morning, Lao Tzu's armor is engraved with a [water splitting pattern], isn't his body much more dexterous......

As soon as he thought of this, Roy couldn't hold back any longer. After happily strolling around for a few prayers, I bought a set of ordinary two-star armor at an equipment store with a dwarven craftsman's sign.

This set of armor is made of thousand-forged iron. Although they are both two-star, their defense is much higher than his previous set. It's just that the style is old and popular, there is no surprise, and the forging process of the wrist armor and knee armor is slightly worse.

However, this armor was exactly what Roy wanted.

Back in the mission hall, he rented a forging room with Ling Xuan, mixed a small piece of refined copper core obtained from a desperate situation into nearly 100 catties of 100 catties of 100 forged iron, and repeatedly forged a piece of 1000 forged fine iron with extremely high toughness with the fish scale thousand forging method.

Then, Roy used this piece of fine iron to create a pair of identical forearm armor and a pair of knee armor in the original style of the armor. And on the inside of the arm armor and knee armor, two magic patterns were engraved.

Knee armor

The magic pattern engraved on it is a fourth-level demonic beast [Flamingo] magic pattern. This magic pattern is not aggressive, but it has a strong resistance to the wind, which is a great help for body shape and footwork.

The magic pattern on the arm armor is the magic pattern of a third-level demonic beast [Light Flame Raccoon]. When activated, it emits a bright light that interferes with the enemy's line of sight.

As for the aggressive magic pattern, Roy thought about it and gave up. After all, he was already a magician who could unleash seventh-level magic in his own right. Hidden in the body without the fluctuation of the magic power of the instant spell and a pair of eyes that can see the magic element, is the greatest capital of the Yin people!

On the other hand, knight martial arts also need to be honed in actual combat. Just like following a dwarf to fight on a hill, every move and form is performed at the moment of life and death, and nothing else can be mixed in. If you always think about attacking with demonic magic, it will not be beneficial to martial arts cultivation.

Roy's belief in becoming a paladin is terrifying.

Putting on his armor, Roy moved his body.

These days of cultivation have increased his physique and strength a lot, and although this armor made of fine iron looks heavy, after being engraved with the Wind Demon Pattern of the Flamingo, the weight has been reduced by at least sixty percent, and now it feels lighter than the previous set of armor based on leather armor.

"It's ugly!"

Malt's beautiful eyes swept over Roy, pouting and striking mercilessly. From the aesthetic point of view of the elves, Roy's suit of armor is like a pile of broken copper hanging on his body.

Oliver snapped twice in agreement. Then he jumped around in front of Malt and scratched his head, until Malt threw out a piece of jerky, and then he rushed out and grabbed it, swaggering down not far from the dozen or so mastiffs raised by the caravan guards, eating with relish. Roy rolled his eyes at Malt and Oliver. When I was thinking about whether to go around with Ivan, a cold voice suddenly came from my ears.

"Get out of the way!" Roy and Malt frowned at the same time, and turned their heads to look, only to see a slender and tall figure appear on the carriage next to them, blocking out the sunlight.

The two recognized that this was another female ranger in the Blazing Light Squad's bow and arrow rangers, and a rare female ranger in the mercenary squad.

A Ranger in the mercenary world, the equivalent of a combination of scouts and archers in the army.

In battle, the Ranger is responsible for containment and long-range attacks, acting as archers. And when traveling, it is responsible for reconnaissance and pathfinding, acting as a scout.

A good safari is highly respected in any place. Many of the old falcons in the army retired and became rangers in mercenary squads. Their rich experience, keen perception, precise archery skills, and wind-like speed are the key to whether a mercenary team can complete their mission smoothly.

The female ranger in front of her, with a very young voice, wore a leather soft hat that covered the hairline and ears tightly. On the face is a silver-white metal mask with beautiful patterns inscribed, revealing only a straight and delicate half-cut nose bridge and a pair of bright eyes.

At this moment, these eyes were staring at Roy indifferently.

"Am I in your way?" Roy asked, suppressing his anger.

Although he understood that he had committed the taboo of these mercenaries just now, he had never suffered much disadvantage and was not angry when he was pushed by Alder and did not run away on the spot, which was already enough to save face.

"yes, get out of the way. The female ranger said unceremoniously.

This area is the defense area she is responsible for, and Roy's storage zài will indeed get in the way of her shooting angle. She was clearly not prepared to explain, though.

"Silly bird, what if I don't let you?" Roy's heart was furious, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the female hunter swooped down like a roaring falcon at her feet. The black figure rolled rapidly in the sunlight, and two half-moon-shaped daggers with cold light appeared in his hands at some point, and in a flash, they arrived in front of Roy.

The sharp blade of the dagger, with a hint of coolness, stopped at Roy's neck with the light breeze and sunlight.

"Beautiful!"

The mercenaries suddenly burst out into cheers, and a few men standing in the carriage let out a wolf howl like a barbarian, and shouted and coaxed in gloating, and there was a commotion.

Seeing the conflict breaking out here, Ivan and Sanjie scolded angrily, and at the same time drew their bows and swords. Alder, the leader of the Blazing Light team, frowned and shouted, "Miki." ”

"Get out!" the female ranger stared at Roy fiercely with beautiful eyes, her voice muffled and cold under the mask, and her fingers holding the dagger were white and slender, but steady as a rock.

Just when everyone thought that the black-haired little white face would be scared and walk away, suddenly, a sneer appeared on the corner of Roy's mouth, and a bright light suddenly erupted from his arm, shooting directly into the eyes of the female ranger. Immediately afterwards, his upper body did not move, but his legs floated up strangely and popped out.

When the bright light suddenly flashed, the female hunter Miki almost subconsciously retracted her knife sideways, and just crossed her arms in front of her chest to protect her eyes, she was kicked by Roy fiercely, and her whole body passed over the carriage behind her like a flying stone and fell to the ground with a muffled bang.

Even if she reacted quickly, after being attacked, her body rolled in mid-air, and then stretched out, like a leaf held by the wind, floating down.

These two rabbits rose and fell, and they were swift and unmatched. Before the people present could widen their eyes and open their mouths, they saw the beautiful girl who had been following Roy in a long skirt wrapped in a cloth and wrapped in a long skirt, and the long skirt had already flown into the sky like a blooming trumpet flower. Under the fluttering skirt, the slender figure of Mai'er in a straitjacket was like an arrow off the string, chasing the female ranger with electricity, and before anyone arrived, a silver-white narrow-edged long sword vibrated in the air like cicada wings, making a continuous low buzzing sound, and went straight to the door of Miqi.

Miki landed on the ground and retreated sharply, a bright ball of light dancing from the dagger in her hand.

Everyone was dazzled for a while.

I only saw three cold lights flying rapidly in the air, and I only heard a series of gold and iron resonances in Dangdangdang, and two butterfly-like figures fluttering and flying in the carriages, chasing back and forth.

"Stop!!"

Fergus shouted as he came quickly. The short but intense confrontation ended with a fight between the two girls.

Between the two figures that suddenly separated, a thin mask and a few rags fell. On the heads of the two girls facing each other, the long hair that had lost its restraint flew up like a waterfall in the wind, revealing their almost identical slightly pointed ears.

Two elves!
