Chapter 119: The robber nemesis Barrett
Leaving the refreshing and pleasant Vanilla City, Barrett hurried to the next mission location.
Ever since he got a new powerful skill from the [Mission Log], he has been desperate to find a target with enough strength to give it a try. It's a pity that he didn't encounter any monsters to attack along the way, which can't help but make Barrett nostalgic for the giant stone elemental that chased him everywhere in the misty forest.
That giant stone elemental had been rampaging in the Misty Forest for a long time, relying on its rough skin, its incredible resilience, and the fact that no predator was willing to eat stones. However, its attack methods are very monotonous, and it is not like the giant boiling water element, which can use so many kinds of attack magic, but it is a good training object.
Barrett, who had a bit of an itchy hand at this time, really wanted to have a few tricks with it.
The wild monsters along the way didn't bump into each other, but the humans who blocked the road and robbed did encounter three batches, which can be regarded as relieving Barret's itchy hands after getting a new skill.
The journey from Vanilla City to the mission location was not uneventful. It can be seen that whether it is Vanilla City or the town where the next mission is located, their managers have not bothered to clean up the robbers on the road, which is rarely encountered on the main roads of other cities.
The first robbers were three robbers armed with swords and daggers, and they very insidiously planted tripwires on the road, one end of which was tied to a maple poplar tree by the side of the road, and the other end was held in the hands of several robbers.
They crouched idly in the grass behind the trees, quietly waiting for their chance.
When they saw Barrett approaching in the distance, the robbers suddenly pulled up the stumbling cord, trying to make our brute adventurers fall off their horses, preferably by breaking their necks, so that they could save a lot of effort.
At that critical moment, when time seemed to have been slowed down, Barrett's mount, 'Carrot', seemed to burst out with the nightmare beast bloodline that seemed to be absent in his body. It immediately sensed the existence of the rope, then raised its front hooves high, and jumped over the tripwire with agility, and then its hind hooves rose and jumped over with Barrett without danger.
Instead of running forward, Carrot jumped over the tripstring, but made a spontaneous turn and a sharp stop, nearly knocking Barrett to the ground.
The young horse was so angry that he threw his head back angrily, his front hooves stomping the ground, and neighing loudly, as if to say to Barrett, "Hey, what are you waiting for?
At this time, Barrett was scared out of a cold sweat on horseback. His riding skills are very average, and he can ensure that he does not fall off the horse when he is in a hurry, although he also discovered the existence of the tripping horse in time, but he does not know what to do, so that the above handsome operation is all done by the 'carrot' himself.
Barrett, who had come to his senses, dismounted in anger and reached out to pat the 'carrot' and signal it to stay away from it to avoid being accidentally injured during the fight.
"You're killing yourself, you know?" Barrett drew his sword at his waist and headed for the trio of robbers emerging from the grass.
"Kill yourself?hehe, who wouldn't talk big!" The robber at the head was dressed in a gray cloth cloak, and under the cloak was a worn iron cuirass.
The bandit leader smiled disdainfully, "I'll tell you, I've slaughtered two big men like you this month, and you're the third." ”
Barrett strode forward, closing the distance between the crowd, "Haven't you heard of the truth that things are just three?"
"You think you're pretty good, and you can do it all of us at once?" the bandit stepped back, while the other two bandits surrounded Barrett from the side, "Do you know how I dealt with the guys before you? I cut off all their legs to make them shorter than the gnomes, and then let the goblins fuck their ass, haha, I hope you'll like it." ”
The robbers smiled hideously, trying to break Barrett's will.
"Of course, I'm a compassionate person who always gives others another choice. If you don't want to die, take out everything of value, leave the horse behind, and I'll let you go alive. The lead robber continued, "Yes, I'm 'Gray Wolf Skin' Nishizawa and never lies. ”
"Yes, the leader never lies!" said two robber retinues.
"Your name is 'Gray Wolf Skin'?" Barrett asked, standing in place and frowning.
"Why, have you heard of my name?"
"Not really, I'm just wondering if you've been bounty since you have a nickname and work as a bandit?" Barrett asked.
It is common sense that any wanted person has a nickname. The bounty on the bandit 'Nishizawa' is far less loud than the bounty on the bandit 'Gray Wolf Skin'.
"Of course!" said the robber leader proudly, "there is a bounty of fifteen gold coins posted at the gates of the city of 'Orlancin,' and sometimes I want to take it myself. Why, you think this way, too?"
Barrett looked back at the map in his mind and found that the city was not only a little far away, but also not near his route, and he couldn't help but be slightly disappointed.
Barrett shook his head and continued walking towards the bandit leader. "Forget it, just do a good deed. ”
"You'll regret it!" the bandit leader winked at his companions, and the two bandit retinue rushed toward Barrett on either side.
Three, two, and one step, Barrett dodged the long sword on his right sideways, and the 'Iron Bride' in his left hand slashed horizontally, instantly slitting the throat of the bandit holding the long dagger.
Blood splattered out, and a few drops landed on Barrett's leather armor, causing him to frown in disgust.
The bandit leader in front of him took the opportunity to attack, and the two weapons collided in the air, and this little leader-like guy stabbed around with all his might, which seemed to be a little skilled, but it was far from keeping up with Barrett's rhythm.
After only two swords, the bandit leader could only defend passively.
Left, right, and above, Barrett's every swing brought a great threat to the opponent, and this guy couldn't withstand the fierce attack of the Nord barbarians.
"Don't be stunned, fool, go up and cut him down, or we'll all die here!" cried out the robber leader anxiously in his busy schedule, trying to get another companion who was too scared to come forward on the periphery.
The man shouted as the leader pressed forward, and Barrett swung his sword to dispel the Grey Wolfskin's attack, his left weapon in his right hand, and a stabbing step pierced the chest of the bandit's retinue.
Immediately afterwards, the weapon of the right hand drew a semicircle and returned to the left hand, and the left hand swung with the momentum, and the sound of steel intersecting came again, but instead of two swords striking each other, Barrett's long sword bit through the opponent's worn breastplate.
The sword was supposed to disembowel the robber, but the cuirass faithfully fulfilled its last duty, allowing the robber to be scratched and not killed. The bandit leader took a few steps back, looked down at his chest where blood was oozing, and his face was full of fear and fear. He then threw his weapon at Barrett before turning and running into the grass.
"It's a foolish thing to put your back in front of the enemy in battle. Barrett said as he took out a throwing axe from the spatial ring, and after a few simple glances, he casually threw the axe out.
The axe struck the back of the 'gray wolfskin' with a whirl of death, causing it to fall into the grass and never get up again.
The duration of the battle was short, and the loot was similarly pitiful. The corpses of the three robbers brought Barrett a total of 1 gold, 16 silver, and 30 bronze, plus three worthless weapons.
Barrett sighed and threw the body to the side of the road, then stepped on the 'carrot' that seemed to have been somewhat deflated, and continued to run towards its destination.
Along the way, he cleared up three batches of a total of twelve robbers, and although the harvest was not much, it made the security in this area much better for a while.
