It was this moment that Kersmund was waiting for, and he saw the moment when the pirate raised his axe and slashed at the right shoulder with a faster speed of the attack. The pirate screamed, and the axe in his hand immediately fell to the ground. Before the wounded pirate could step away from him, Kersmund quickly made up the knife and stabbed the pirate in the neck, stabbing him in the throat.

In this way, Symmed and the bounty hunters, relying on their numerical superiority and the high mobility of their horses, soon gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand encounters with the pirates. However, just as they had killed the pirates to only four or five people, there was a sudden burst of shouts and curses from the woods not far from them.

Another group of pirates, finding out about the battle on this side, immediately rushed over to support their companions. There were fourteen pirates in that group, and together with the four or five remaining Haikou in this group, there were nearly twenty pirates. And the team of the bounty hunters, in the battle just now, lost three more people, plus Usmoed, now there are only thirteen people left. After the bandar quickly joined the battlefield, the bounty hunters instantly lost their numerical advantage, and even some of them had to fight against two. As a result, the bounty hunters immediately fell into a bitter battle.

In an unfavorable situation, Korsmed struggled to maintain his composure and composure, and in the chaos he slashed two more pirates in succession. The pirates soon sensed Kersmond's superior fighting skills, and immediately three pirates came to deal with him at the same time, besieging him.

Dexterity and caution controlled the horse's steering and movement speed, and wrestled with the three pirates. When he found a great opportunity to turn around and slash at the throat of one of the pirates, the horse under his crotch was also slashed in the front leg by the axe of another pirate. The horse neighed miserably and was about to lunge forward desperately to escape the siege. Immediately after, however, the Germanic sword from the hands of the third coward pierced straight into the horse's head.

The poor horse could not even make a sound, and immediately fell to the ground. Kersmund slashed the corate in the throat and killed him instantly, while his entire body fell to his crotch horse. Fortunately, he rolled to the side in time, and then got back to his feet, and no one flipped on his back. But before he could gain a foothold, the two pirates immediately besieged him.

At this time, after a fierce scuffle, there were only five bounty hunters left alive, all of whom had lost their horses, and the pirates had twelve left, and they were gradually surrounding these five bounty hunters.

A few pirates quickly ran over and joined the two pirates who had dealt with Eksmer before, blocking any escape direction for Kersmer, while Kersmer could only temporarily retreat and approach the five bounty hunters back-to-back. Eventually, he stood with the five remaining bounty hunters. And the twelve pirates have surrounded them.

Seconds later, Minded and five bounty hunters fought the twelve pirates in a final showdown.

Sandwiched between the bounty hunters, Kersmed was preoccupied with nothing but his companions and his companions to defeat twice as many enemies as them, and give it their all for a battle that would be either you or me. At this moment, he didn't have time to regret it, and he didn't have time to think about the outcome. Death may befall him in the next instant. In this life-and-death battle, only the victor is qualified to recall it carefully.

Kersmod is not like the bounty hunter next to him or the pirates opposite, just slashing and blocking indiscriminately, he sees every opportunity, and when he uses his shield to block the opposing attack, he happens to use the shield to give the opposite side a recoil force in time after canceling out the opponent's attack power, as much as possible to shake the opponent's hand holding the weapon, and create an opportunity for himself and his teammates to fight back. If he doesn't make a move, he will hit the vital point of a pirate and kill him.

In such a hand-to-hand fight between the two parties, he alone used a single knife in his hand to end the lives of three Haikou.

When the last bounty hunter on his side was cut down by the pirates, there were only four pirates left.

The four pirates slashed at him together, and he hurriedly parried with his shield, and kept retreating, unable to fight back in a short time. His heart sank suddenly, he could only use his shield to block the attacks of the four pirates on the opposite side, and if there was no other way to change the current situation, he wouldn't last long, and sooner or later the shield would be broken and killed.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in the woods behind the pirates. With great speed, the figure rushed behind the pirates and stabbed a sword into the throat of one of them. The pirate who was stabbed in the back didn't have time to react to what had happened, and immediately fell to the ground and died. Without pause, the figure pulled the sword out of the throat of the pirate and stabbed it at the next pirate.

The other three pirates immediately panicked and retreated to the side, and Kersmod also reacted immediately, and together with the figure, launched a flank attack on the three pirates.

He and the figure each killed a pirate at almost the same speed, and then attacked the last pirate together.

I saw a single knife slammed into the left chest of that Haikou, and at the same time, a sword also pierced the throat of that Haikou horizontally.

Through the swiftly stiffened body of the pirate, Sensed and the figure looked at each other.

; By the faint light of the stars and moon, Kosmerd saw first a shiny helmet, then a pair of bright eyes under the helmet, and a rugged face with a full beard.

And the man also glanced at Kersmod, and then glanced at the single knife he inserted into the left chest of the pirate, and then said lightly in a calm and loud voice: "Hey, boy, I can see from your position and posture, as well as the rigid defensive movements of this pirate, you can obviously be like me, a knife into his throat to ensure that he will die, but why did you choose to plunge his left chest?"

"Isn't he certain to die if I stick it in his heart?" asked Kersmurd, frowning slightly.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, if you stick a knife into his heart, of course he will die, but how can you be sure that you will be able to stick a knife into his heart?"

"Isn't the human heart always on the left side of the chest?

"No, most people's hearts are on the left side of the chest, yes, but in this world, there are some people, although very few, or even ten thousand, but they do exist, their hearts are not on the left, but on the right! The probability of you encountering an enemy with a heart on the right is very low, but if you are unlucky, maybe you can really let you run into it! When you find that the enemy you thought had died at your hands did not die, you will probably be caught off guard by surprise, and then, it may be you who died!" The man said in a solemn tone.

"The heart is on the right? How is it possible? Why haven't I heard of it?" Sensed was taken aback, the phenomenon of the heart on the right was unheard of to him, and it was completely contrary to his common sense.

"Well, boy, I'm afraid there's a lot you haven't heard of!Well, therefore, the next time you want to kill your enemy with a single sword, completely lose his ability to fight back, or seek revenge on you later, you can either stab him in the throat or in the head, or touch his chest to make sure that his heart is on the left or right, and then poke him in the heart. Haha!" the man burst out laughing. His smile was barely visible in his full beard, but it was clear from his hearty laugh and the two rows of white teeth that he was laughing.

"Well, I'll remember your reminder. Also, I have to remember your name, may I ask your name, thank you so much for your help, otherwise I might have died by now!" Kersmurd said gratefully as he pulled the knife out of the pirate's chest, "Also, your armor is very good!"

In addition to wearing a shiny helmet, the man wears brown striped armor, chainmail gloves on his hands, and his legs and feet are hidden inside chainmail leggings and chainmail boots. Although he had never seen anyone wearing such armor, and did not even know the name of his armor, he could see that this armor was extraordinary.

"Oh, my name is Soraton, you don't have to thank me. No matter who passes by here, as long as he still has justice in his heart and has a skill, he will not condone the wanton killing of these evil pirates. I can only say that you kid is too lucky, and you shouldn't die, and someone happened to pass by here when you were in trouble. Also, of course, this armor can't be bad, after all, it is the standard equipment of the Nord royal guards. The man, who called himself Soraton, pulled his sword out of the pirate's throat and caused the pirate's body to fall to the ground, laughing as he said, "But this Germanic short-battle sword really doesn't satisfy me, I really don't understand why King Ragnar would give the Nord royal guard such a sword." Such a sword really can't play our true combat effectiveness, so I'm thinking about changing weapons. ”

"The Nord Royal Guard, are you a Nord Royal Guard?" Kersmod immediately fell into extreme surprise, although he had never seen the Nord Royal Guard, but he had already heard a lot about them, the highest combat power of the Nord Kingdom.

"To be exact, I'm still a student at the Royal Military Academy in Saagos, but I'll be graduating in August and will be assigned to the army as a Nord royal bodyguard in a few days. You see, the military has already sent me such a set of standard equipment for the Nord royal guards. And today, before I go to the army, I want to wear this armor and walk around Sagos, and by the way, visit an old friend of mine who lives in the village of Fenrad. When I passed by, I happened to find you and these pirates fighting. Soraton explained.

"Oh, I see!" said Kersmoad, looking back at Soraton.

Thoraton was very tall, half a head taller than Axmerd, and his posture was erect, and with that armor, he could give people a sense of majesty just standing there quietly.

"What about you, what's your name, why are you here, I don't think you look like a bounty hunter. Soraton asked.

"My name is Kosmod and I'm from Wocheze. I came to Saagos to be a student of the Royal Military Academy of Saagos, just like you. But I didn't have enough tuition, so I took the risk of fighting the pirates with this group of bounty hunters in exchange for a reward, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Kosmod said without concealment.

Soraton was about to say something, but just then, there was another outrageous cry from the distant woods, and they were clearly approaching this way.

"Another pirate is coming!, let's get out of here quickly!" Soraton said warily.

"No, I haven't packed up my spoils yet, and besides, I haven't done my job, and I'm not getting any reward! I don't have enough money to pay for my tuition!" said Cosmod, shaking his head.

"We can find another way to pay for the tuition, but we'd better go back to Saagoth first!" said Soraton as he walked away.

Ksmerd said firmly: "No! I am not willing to leave like this, my horse cannot die in vain! And these bounty hunters, they can't die in vain! We have already killed twenty-three pirates, and I am still seven pirates missing, and I can get a reward of three thousand eight hundred dinars! How can I give up this task when it is about to be completed, and leave here empty-handed, when it is only a little bit short!"

Soraton asked, surprised, "Do you mean you're going to stay here and meet that group of pirates? aren't you really afraid that the pirates will surround you, chop you into meat sauce with axes, and use your skull as a bowl?"

; Kersmund said quickly, "Don't be afraid, because I believe that with the help of a Nord royal guard, I can defeat them!"

"How can you be sure I'll help you, I'm not as desperate as you!" said Soraton with a smile.

"I'm not sure, I just think that if you put a lot of effort into saving me, you won't let me die here again so easily. Moreover, I beg you to show me what a Nord royal guard really is!"

"Haha, you kid is so naughty. Well, if there are less than ten pirates, I'll help you, but if there are more than ten, you'll leave here with me right away, okay?"

Kersmer hesitated, then nodded. The conversation between the two was quickly completed, and when the group of pirates arrived, the two of them had quietly hid behind a large tree and were secretly looking at the group of pirates.

There were exactly ten pirates in the group, and Kosmerd and Soraton glanced at each other, and Soraton hesitated for a moment, then nodded at him.

Together, the two of them threw the spears they had already held in their hands towards the group of pirates—the throwing weapons that Soraton had carried.

Two throwing spears struck the group of pirates almost simultaneously, knocking down two of them each.

The moment they threw their spears, the two of them moved and followed the spears and attacked the pirates.

The next moment when the two spears knocked down the two pirates, the two of them had already rushed into the pile of pirates, and in the blink of an eye, they were in a mess with the remaining eight pirates.

With a royal shield in his left hand and a Germanic sword in his right, Soraton rushed to the front against the attack of the eight pirates. And Kosmerd had already thrown away his single knife and broken shield, and in both hands he was holding a long-handled battle axe from the corpse of a pirate.

He followed closely behind Soraton and, relying on Soraton's cover, slashed his battle axe at the pirates. Soraton's defenses were impenetrable and invulnerable, not only with a shield to fend off the pirates' attacks, but the Germanic sword in his right hand would be swung when necessary to counter the pirates' attacks. And with Kersmer behind him, he only needs to shoot frantically and cut down the pirates, without worrying about being attacked by the pirates.

The combination of the two of them made it impossible for those eight pirates to resist. After the two of them cut down three pirates one after another in such a combination, the remaining five pirates immediately dispersed in a hurry, preparing to escape. Kersmerd and Soraton immediately chased after one of the pirates and killed them, but the other three escaped with the opportunity.

By the time Ksmerd, with the help of Thoraton and a few villagers from the village of Fenrad, he brought several large linen bags containing thirty-one pirate heads to the mayor of Sagoth, the night was dark.
