Chapter Twenty-Eight: Not Afraid of No Bandits
"Hey, Prince. Sylvia endured the feeling of disgust and made it to Prince's side.
Prince slowly twisted his head, like a ghoul. Only two swirling black and white ones could make it recognizable as a living creature - those were his eyes.
Gloomy strongly asked Sylvia to talk to Prince, and Sylvia resisted, but driven by the word "revenge", she went anyway. The power of revenge seems to be a little more powerful than the power of cleanliness?
"Are you here to laugh at me, too?" asked Prince, hoarsely. His lips were chapped and chapped, like the land after a long drought. He had been sitting there alone for a long time, and almost all of the people who came to talk to him came to laugh at him.
"Yes. Sylvia nodded in agreement.
Time returned to a quarter of an hour ago......
Darkness pulled Sylvia in front of him and carefully taught her what to say:
"First of all, Sylvia, you must understand that ordinary methods have no effect on Prince, and he is now in a severe, disheartened state, and he must use agitation to regain his fighting spirit. You have to provoke him with the most vicious words, and that's it. ”
"Dark, I'm just now realizing that you are so despicable and shameless. Sylvia sighed.
He shook his head, pointed to the sky with one hand, shook his head suddenly, and said, "Despicable and shameless is what a demon should have. Have you ever seen a kind and lovely demon?"
The way he spoke was so serious that Sylvia almost believed it!
"Actually, there are. ”
"Who?"
"You. ”
"Why me? Didn't you just say I was mean and shameless?"
"You're a combination of contradictions, sometimes very bad and evil, but I can't find a second demon who can roam the continent with elves other than you, or another demon who is dedicated to turning me into a demon hunter...... Actually, you just looked pretty cute. ”
Sylvia stuck out her tongue and grimaced......
Fast forward to the present......
"It's a shame for us rangers to not even shoot an arrow accurately, forget it if you don't shoot, but you're still being bullied by birds, won't you fight back? Sylvia did her best to ridicule Prince with the "most vicious words" she knew, and it was hard for her to think of such words. Prince's originally silent heart was once ignited by anger.
"I'm not trash!" Prince picked up his bow and arrows and shot them at one place.
Poof!
A human body had fallen from a leafy tree, his face covered with a black cloth, and a bright steel knife in his hand.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, who would have thought that Prince's arrow would actually shoot down a person from a tree?
"Enemy attack!" Mason shouted as one of the first mercenaries to react, and then removed a large infantry shield from the frame and set it up. The shield was made of steel and solid wood, and there were a few iron spikes on it that exuded a sharp star, and if you hit a human body in battle, you would not be able to escape from a few bloody holes.
As Mason shouted "enemy attack", the others also reacted one after another, and picked up the shields at hand one by one, these shields are of various types, including one-handed shields, infantry shields, knight shields, small round shields, and so on......
There is no one else who can make this group of battle-hardened mercenaries so close to the enemy except the bandits.
One might confuse bandits with robbers, because they both live by robbery, but in fact, the two are not the same type at all.
Robbers usually have only a few or a dozen people, and most of the robbers are ordinary passers-by, and the bandits are not petty fights, they usually have a scale of several hundred people, and many even thousands of people, among which there are many low-level professionals. They have a unified stronghold, they have excellent equipment, they have the ability to resist the encirclement and suppression of the regular army, they don't rob pedestrians, they rob caravans!
The caravan steward Ba An hid under the car and shivered, he held a small crossbow in his hand and a long sword hanging from his waist, but he was just a weak apprentice swordsman who could not be weaker, anyone could kill him, and it was really helpless to hide under the car at the moment, just to save his life.
"How so?" muttered Baan. The caravan of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce will bring a batch of excess property every time it travels, which is specially used to pay the toll for those bandits, and this time there is a cart of gems in the goods that is such a way to buy money, according to the different scales, each thief gets different gems, which is very fair, if anyone is not convinced, then it will be attacked by the collective crusade of other bandits, so the Pearl Chamber of Commerce does not need to worry at all. After going back and forth like this, the two sides have formed a good cooperative relationship, and those bandits will take the initiative to help clear the road or something in order to continue to harvest. In short, this road is never dangerous.
This shipment, the two sides were also very safe along the way before, and there are no bandits stationed in this section of the road now, how can a batch suddenly appear?
Before Baan could finish his thoughts, a large number of arrows swooped down in the air, and the rain of locust-like arrows suppressed Baan under the car.
The mercenaries hiding behind the shields were also very uncomfortable. Mason felt the force of his wrist and the thud of the arrow hammering into the shield, and prayed that nothing would happen this time.
Sylvia didn't have a shield, so she had to rely on her dexterity and the little shelter provided by the frame to avoid the rain of arrows, but the rain was so dense that it didn't take long for Sylvia to have a few more abrasions on her body.
"Squat!" a loud shout came, and before Sylvia could react, a strong force directly pushed her to the ground, and then a darkness enveloped her.
Darken fell to one knee in front of Sylvia, his hands holding up the wide cloak, Sylvia was encased in the defense, and she could see Dark's face when she looked up.
"Squat down and don't move, this cloak doesn't have much defense, if you leave my body range and are killed by an arrow, don't say I didn't save you. Feeling the girl in her arms looking left and right, she stopped in a low voice.
"Oh. Sylvia whispered, she didn't writhe around, but unconsciously hugged her waist.
Well, it feels good, a bit like being cowered in your parents' arms as a child.
"This feeling, so warm......"
