The original Temple of Helius is now the Church of Medius, after some renovation, it has been changed from a gentle white theme to a serious black theme, in just 1 month, the Holy See of Drua spread their doctrine "unity and peace" everywhere, and the only condition for joining them is to burn the Maid with the fire of darkness and use her soul to make Medius personally come to the world, and the rest as long as it is a woman, even if it is not a Virgin, it can be sold to the Drua Holy See in exchange for a bounty, as for the fate of those who are not Virgins, it is no longer in the scope of the Christians' consideration.

Lawrence, a Nord veteran, he was a soldier for 30 years, but when he returned home, his village no longer existed, only a ruin remained, and later I heard that all the villages were dead, because the village was occupied by the enemy, so the lord of his own country burned his original territory, and there was no one alive except him, since that time he no longer believed in his own country, nor in other countries and lords, he became a beggar and gave up on himself, until recently the appearance of the Drua Church gave him hope, what a luxury of unity and peace, If Drua can really bring peace to the continent, then he is willing to go to war again, this time he is not for a certain lord, but for the future of Calradia, for the sake of others, not to be like him, the family is ruined, he is convinced of the doctrine, the burned maid is to be a maid under the great Medeus, it is an honor, they are helping others, if someone resists, it is their ignorance, and the true god Medius is forgiving, as long as he stabs him with a sacrificial dagger, he can get a new life.

Lawrence, because he had been a soldier and had good leadership skills, gathered a group of people who shared his beliefs and embarked on a pilgrimage together. Just now they found a village, so the militia who walked into the village saw it and stopped them and said, "Who are you!" Lawrence said, "We are believers in the true god Medius, and we have come to find sacrifices." The militiaman said, "What sacrifice?" "Maiden" "What, don't go away." As soon as the militia heard it, they knew that it was a cult organization and was about to ask them to leave, but when they were refused, they began to use force, and suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed the militia who drove them away, and the militia did not know how he was killed until he died, too quickly. Another militiaman left, drew his dagger and prepared for battle, but a pilgrim who had already slipped behind him drew his knife and hissed blood gushing out of his neck as soon as he wiped it. Lawrence said, "Pilgrim brothers, remember the teachings of the true God, rush." The village had no resistance at all, the girl was caught and the man was killed, and in a small farmhouse a woman said to a young girl: "Jamila, take your brother and run away, I will help you hold them back." The girl named Jamila said with tears in her eyes: "No, Mom will go with me, I don't want to leave you." The woman said: "Child, I don't want to leave you, but you have to run away and find someone to save us, and it will be up to you to see if we can be saved, Jamila had no choice but to run away from behind with her 10-year-old brother, and she picked up a broom and smashed it at one of the disciples, because it was too sudden before he could react, he was beaten and when the woman was about to make up for it, the man pulled out a knife and stabbed the woman in the abdomen, ending her life, and a pilgrim saw the fleeing Jamila and chased after her. Jamila was very tired from running with her brother on her back, she couldn't run, she put down her brother and said: "Brother and sister play a game with you, you hide under this tree hole and count 1000 times, and then go to the big city to find me, I don't have time to come out!" The younger brother nodded and then Yamila stuffed the younger brother into the tree hole, and then wanted to occupy and lead the enemy away. But it didn't take long to get caught, and he was very scared of what was waiting for her.

Su Ke, the owner of the Chanda Happy Boar Tavern, he climbed up to the castle tower early this morning to open the sunrise, but at this time there was a discordant scene, he saw a group of people in black pilgrim clothes in the distance, and more than 20 women were taken away behind him, some old and some young, and a girl seemed to be unable to walk, and there was a black-clothed cultist who beat him with a wooden stick, and the scene was very hateful, if Su Ke was young, he would definitely stop it, but he was more than 50 years old, and he was probably tired when he ran over, but at this time he remembered someone.

There are more than 30 people in a water thief's lair, everyone is busy, and they have just successfully robbed a small caravan, although it is more than 10 people, but there is no loss for them, because there are hundreds of escaped slaves and refugees who want to join them every day, they are a filter to enter the pirates, and only those who have reached a certain contribution in the water thieves can join the official pirate group. Their camps are set up very secluded, making it difficult for even very good hunters to spot.

But there are exceptions, really when they sorted out the loot, a team of mercenaries came out, and those standing guard at the entrance fell before they had time to sound the alarm, and the water thieves were close at hand when they saw the enemy, and the water thieves rushed to organize a resistance, but everything was in vain, this battle was completely one-sided, and in less than 5 minutes, 30 people were all killed without exception, and this team of mercenaries is Qiao Ang's team, Qiao Ang has avoided the trap of the water thieves easily since he accepted Mama Tea, and easily found the enemy's lair, plus this time he has killed more than 10 teams of water thieves。

Qiao Ang's army has been expanded from the original 10 people to more than 30 people, and there are more people and more money, so he can't leave after fighting like before, and he won't collect loot, which will lose a lot. At this moment, a messenger came, and gave Joon a letter, which said: "I know that you have gained a lot from fighting the water pirates, but I would like to ask you to do me a favor, please return to Chanda quickly." "Signed Suke. After reading it, Qiao Ang immediately gave up all the loot and went back, although he and Su Ke are not good friends, but that Su Ke must be a good person, Qiao Ang will never be stingy to help good people.

Joon walked briskly into Suke's tavern and said, "What did you call me for?" Suke said, "I saw a group of black pilgrims take away a group of girls this morning, those girls are pitiful, if you can help them." Su Ke didn't know if Qiao Ang would agree to play a little drum, then Qiao Ang said: "No problem, I will go and save them and leave them to me!" After saying that, he immediately set off without even drinking water, since what a shameful act it is to kidnap innocent girls, Qiao Ang does not like the slave trade but will not object, but the act of capturing innocent people as slaves must not be forgiven.

Qiao Ang and the others didn't chase far before they saw a group of disciples in black robes leaving, Qiao Ang caught up with them, stopped them, and said, "What are you doing?" The leader, who seemed to be a leader, said, "We are believers in the great Medius on a pilgrimage." Qiao Ang sneered: "Hmph, why do you want to bring women on pilgrimage!" At this time, a woman in the team broke free and shouted, "My lord, save us, we were forced, they burned our village, woo-ahh Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled back by the other pilgrims, and the leader said, "I advise you not to hinder our pilgrimage, otherwise you will be punished by the gods." Qiao Ang laughed and said: "Hahaha, I am in charge of this matter" After speaking, he rushed up and killed the mercenaries behind him, and also rushed up together when he saw this, but these pilgrims used to be refugees and slaves, where were the opponents of these mercenaries, they had to be 4 big ones to win, and they didn't have so many people, less than 5 minutes, more than 30 pilgrims, one died, 10 more than 5 merchants, and 5 others surrendered, Qiao Ang was not embarrassed, those who surrendered, as long as they handed over their weapons, let them go. The girl who had just broken free said, "Thank you, sir, but we still have a lot of sisters trapped in the hidden valley west of Deherim, please save them," and knelt down in front of Qiao Ang, afraid that Qiao Ang would not agree. Qiao Ang picked up the girl and said, "Leave it to me!" "Mama Cha, you send a few people to protect them, and when we rescue the others, we will send them to Zenda." Mama Tea said: "If you know you, you can rest assured, boss!"

It's almost night, the sunset is as red as blood, Lawrence is still very good as the person in charge of this valley, this place was carefully selected by him, 30 years ago when he was a recruit, he followed the lord to this vicinity and was chased by the cavalry of Rui Erdian, Nord's heavy infantry played no role in the plain at all, only slaughtered, but an accident made him find out that this place also saved the lord's troops from the cavalry pursuit, and because of this battle, he successfully promoted two levels. Thirty years later, he was no longer a soldier, but he remembered that it was here, so it became their camp and a place of sacrifice, and a huge burning ground was built here. Just now, they burned more than 20 people, and they were cleaning up the ashes and unburned clothes to burn the last people. Everything seemed to be going well, but at this moment, two sentry standing on the high platform were killed by bows and arrows, and their bodies fell with a dull sound. "There is an enemy!" I don't know who shouted, but it seemed very redundant at this point, because everyone knew that there was an enemy. There are not many people on the other side, only 6 people, but they are well-trained, especially the man in the green chain armor with a short sword and killed 10 people, his people are not opponents at all, Lawrence also pulled out a short sword and rushed up, at this time, a mercenary-like guy took an axe and slashed at him, However, the mercenary was obviously too young to react quickly enough, he, a veteran of 30 years of war, was not called in vain, even if he was 50 years old, he was still very responsive, and he slashed at his head at the moment when the mercenary was empty, and after quickly solving the mercenary, he picked up his axe and ran towards the man in the green chain armor, Lawrence didn't think so much that it was an axe, but the man looked young, but he looked very sophisticated, and he made several moves in a row, and he was easily dodged, However, the man was not always on the defensive, and every time he attacked, he would fight back, and often caught Lawrence off guard, almost being killed, if it weren't for his battle-hardened sensitivity to danger, I don't know how many times he would have died. Slowly, he was the only one left on the battlefield, and he knew that he had no hope, he quickly took a step back after blocking the opponent's blow, and the others also surrounded him.

Joon's raid worked very well, losing one soldier, but even one was a big loss, but it was his elite who brought it here. Now there is only one enemy left, he looks like he is 50 years old, his combat ability is very good, and he can see that he is a veteran. Qiao Ang said: "Surrender, you don't have a chance." The man said, "Hahaha, the great Medius is coming, and the Merdeus will shroud the earth in darkness." Joon said, "If your god wants you to kidnap an innocent girl, it will not be a good god!" "Blasphemer, one day you will be punished by God, and you will be reduced to ashes in the fire of judgment." And I will be waiting for you blasphemer by the side of the Medius. After speaking, he took out a knife and cut his neck without hesitation.

The girl who came with her cried out, "Mother, you are there Mother." But after screaming a few times, she didn't see her mother, and then another girl came over and said, "Jamila, your mother is dead before she comes" Jamila's face turned white when she heard the news, and she almost fainted, and Qiao Ang happened to be next to her and said, "If you want to cry, cry loudly!" After speaking, she gestured to the others to leave first. Jamila lay on Joon's shoulder and cried for a long time until the sunset, "Thank you, you are a hero, I want to be more of you, I am homeless." Qiao Ang was startled by the sudden words and said, "Ah, I have to fight every day, how can you be a girl who cares more about me." Jamila said: "I won't drag you back, I know how to do laundry and cook, and I have studied medicine, my mother is a doctor in the village, and my mother and I have learned a lot of things, please you!" Qiao Ang reluctantly agreed. At this time, Mama Cha ran over and said, "Look at a stick, it's good, it looks like a legendary hoop stick, it's a very good thing!" "Ha, if you like it, I'll give it to you", "And this red spar looks unusual, and I will dedicate this to the boss." "Well, then I'll take it. "The coast has been a lot quieter lately, and the pirates have been hit hard by an unnamed mercenary team, which has led to the pirates having to go ashore themselves to scavenge for supplies. This is undoubtedly hated by pirates, pirates are ferocious beasts only at sea, and when they get to the shore, they are only missing a leg of the tiger that looks fierce but their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, but fortunately, on the continent of Calradia, as long as you don't directly rob the lord, it will be fine, and the lords are busy fighting and have no time to take care of public security!

Although there are no lords to fight them, there are some self-sufficient bounty hunters and mercenaries who are always looking for trouble for them, such as the nameless mercenary group that has just emerged, although there are only more than 50 people, but it has a brilliant record, and more than 20 teams of water thieves have been killed in 5 days. The combat effectiveness of the water pirates may not be very good, but behind them is the pirate group, because the water pirates are a threshold to join the pirates, if no one joins the water pirates, no one will join the pirates, which is not allowed.

On a nameless island, a man who looked stronger than a cow was drinking wine when another man ran over and said, "Report to the king, my subordinates have found out that the guy who killed us down the line was the mercenary group." After listening to this, the strong man shook his wine glass and said, "Okay, hahaha, finally let people find the little ones, and we are ready to get on the boat, and we will go and kill those bastards." Then he said, "Bring me my big axe." After a while, two men came up with a glittering golden axe.

At the same time at the Zenda Tavern, Su Ke said, "Qiao Ang, thank you very much for rescuing those refugees and defeating more than 20 teams of water thieves, this thing is given to you." After saying that, he took out a small green badge. Qiao Ang asked, "This is?" "It's a certificate of bravery, awarded to the mercenaries of the highest honors" "Ah, then I'll take it." Su Ke said, "Now that you have a lot of money, what are you going to do now?" Qiao Ang took a sip of wine and said, "I don't know, maybe I would have gone home if I hadn't experienced yesterday, but now I wonder why I see that the leader has no evil in his eyes, and it seems that he is very sure that he is right, saving others." If this religion really exists, it must be very harmful. "Well," said Suke, "it may be true, for I have heard some travelers say that things are exactly the same in other regions, but there are no brave men like you in those places, and so there is no one to save them, so I suggest you go to the Count of Alasky and ask him, he may know something." "Well, I'll ask. With that, Joon took out a little money for the drink and left the tavern.

It was evening, and the people in the street were much quieter, but it was better to do something, and Joon walked down the Earl's Castle and met Harrick, the sheriff, and he said, "Joon, you have done a good job, few people can be so powerful, maybe you can do something great in the future, and work hard." "Thanks, Harrick, I will, may I go in to the Earl? "Okay, okay, but hand over the weapon first, you know it's the rule. "It's okay, I understand".

In the castle, Joon told the Count what he had seen in the hidden valley. Count Alaski said: "Well, thank you for the information, I will send someone to investigate, if it is true, it will be troublesome." Qiao Ang said: "How troublesome can a religious organization be, as long as it is exterminated?" Count Alassy laughed a few times and said, "Hahaha, it would be nice if it were that simple." Your mission is complete, and you don't care about these disciples for now. I have a new mission for you, would you like to accept it?" "Leave it to me!" "Okay, although you have exterminated a lot of water thieves, but their accomplices pirates are more ferocious, they are now under the leadership of the Pirate King, they have landed, I want you to capture the thief first, capture the king first, capture the pirate king, how do you accept it?" Qiao Ang said: "No problem, I'll go." The Earl smiled, "Don't be in such a hurry, you can prepare your troops and rest first." Go to Fat Robin's place to buy some gear. "Okay," Joon left the castle after a few words, when Harrick stopped him and said, "Joon, you are good, there are not many people like you these years." I give you a word of advice, although you will have greater rights by joining a certain country, but what should you choose when the will of the king conflicts with your aspirations? Qiao Ang said: "Don't worry, my will will not waver." ”

Joon walked to the Fat Robin Weapons Shop in the town square and was about to ask, but the man said, "I don't have any weapons, only garbage." Qiao Ang said, "Aren't you a blacksmith?" "I'm not a blacksmith" "But you're standing in it" "Then I'll give you the hammer, aren't you a blacksmith?" Qiao Ang had three black lines on his face and said, "Well, either you're crazy or I'm crazy." The fat Robin said, "Maybe both of them are crazy." You go, buy this without weapons, only garbage" "Then how are you going to sell things that aren't garbage?" "Fire crystal, my fire crystal was taken by a bird, can you imagine it, because this is all rubbish. If you..." Before he finished speaking, Qiao Ang took out the red gem and said, "Is this one?" Fat Robin was surprised, "Oh my God, it's this, thank you so much for picking one of these three weapons." Qiao Ang said, "How much is this sword?" "What, no, I don't need money, you have done me a great favor, saved me a few years of time, and saved me a lot of money, so you don't need to pay for it." Then Alex's armor shop owner shouted, "Oh, Joon, come and do me a favor, do you have 25 pieces of nomadic armor?" "Yes" "Great, how about you give it to me and I'll give you a better piece of armor." "Okay, after that, I told someone to take out all the nomadic armor from the loot and give it to Alex, and Alex gave Joon a green coat chain mail.

Although there is no harassment of water thieves in the northern coastal areas, but this makes the pirates land, and it is more dangerous to not provide security for the caravan, this time Qiao Ang upgraded the equipment of the troops to a new look, of course, this cost a lot of money, almost all the money Qiao Ang earned this week to fight water thieves, this is also a last resort, spending more money can make your own people live longer and more.

"Boss, that Nabal is very powerful, I heard that the captain of a lord's squad fought against pirates, but the man was struck in the head by a flying axe of Nabal before he could get close. Manid said. Mama Tea listened and disagreed: "Don't listen to Manid's nonsense, what I know is not what is going on, that guy likes to gamble very much, but he is not very lucky, most of the loot he got was lost to his subordinates, I admit that his flying axe is very powerful, but I can kill him, he can't hit me at all." Qiao Ang crossed the black line and said, "Well, I've written down what you said." Just as he was talking happily, there was a roar of footsteps in the distance, which seemed to be numerous, but it was disorganized, and it was obviously not a regular army. It seems that they are coming straight for Joon.

Seeing this, Qiao Ang shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and ranks up." "With that, all the infantry went down from the high ground where Joon was. (This area is a relatively flat area, with Joon's troops slightly higher up and the pirates below.) The archers remained motionless, occupying the favorable terrain, and the infantry below lined up in two rows, each holding a spear in his hand, the back of the spear in front against the shield in the back, and the spear in the back facing the sky. This is the hedgehog array invented by Joang, which is designed to fight more with less. The archers in the rear were already drawing their bows and getting ready. The cavalry was always ready to surprise behind the archers, although there were only 20 infantry, 20 archers, and 10 cavalry. After a certain distance from the opposite side, he stopped, and a man who looked tall and strong came out of the middle, and he said, "You are the leader, who came out to see me." When Qiao Ang saw that the other party wanted to see him, of course he wouldn't hide, so he walked over directly. "Why did you kill so many of my brothers and turn out to be such a weak imp?" Qiao Ang laughed: "Hahaha, yes, even a weak person like me can defeat you right away." Nabal was furious, and the man was so arrogant and said, "Good boy, then I'll see how long a man like you can beat our attack." He put down his harsh words and retreated, when the horn on the opposite side blew and the whole army charged. The pirates were all chainmail infantry, and because there were too many people, they were divided into two echelons to attack, and there were 50 people at a time. Joon himself joined the infantry array. "Steady, steady, wait for the enemy to get closer. Qiao Ang said to the soldiers beside him. "The captain is still 50 meters. "Okay, archers put. "20 bows and arrows are fired at the enemy, and each arrow hits the enemy. In an instant, the pirates lost 20 men, but by the time the archers fired again, the pirates were already close to the infantry below. The heavy impact knocked the infantry back by 3 steps. At the moment of impact, Qiao Ang said, "Push!" Then the troops unified their strength and pushed hard, because the pirates did not use even force, only in one attack, the impact force, the moment the pirates were pushed away, Joon shouted: "Piercing", everyone used their spears to move forward, and the pirates died more than 10 more in the last time, and the archers behind were still shooting reinforcements behind the pirates. The pirates were forced to retreat a few steps, and then stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed up again, this time they learned to be obedient, knowing that the two sides were outflanking, but by this time the cavalry had been divided into two pairs of five people each, and when the pirates were outflanking, they rushed towards the two groups of pirates, and in an instant, more than 20 pirates were killed by the cavalry, and more than 20 in the middle were killed by the same method.

Nabal stomped his feet angrily in the rear and ordered, "Retreat!" The pirates in front of him didn't need Nabal to shout to retreat, and they had already begun to retreat, but when Nabal shouted, they retreated faster. "Don't think you have archers, boy. Nabal said viciously. The pirate's archers lined up in a column ready to shoot. When Qiao Ang saw it, he ordered: "Array, tortoiseshell formation!" After saying that, all the infantry formed a square, with 10 shields on the periphery facing outwards and 10 shields facing upwards inside, and the archers behind also raised their shields and followed the infantry in front to advance towards the enemy.

The pirate's archers had no way to shoot the tortoise shell at all, it was just a waste. Then Nabal said, "The infantry charged." The other infantry rushed at once, but as soon as they got closer, spears were pierced from the gaps in their shields, and the whole formation could not be approached like hedgehogs, and after killing more than 20 people, the pirates were completely dispersed, and the other 40 or so all fled, leaving only Nabal and 10 leaders. Joon's formation spread out, Joon took out his spear and stabbed Nabal, and the others rushed towards the 10 leaders. Nabal also took out his golden battle axe and rushed over, "Boy, your plot has won, but I will cut off your head." After saying that, Nabal slashed down with an axe, and Qiao Ang hurriedly blocked it with a spear, but at the moment of contact, the spear was cut off, and Qiao Ang hurriedly retreated before he was cut off. Joon was secretly surprised, "What kind of strength is this, he actually cut off the spear with only one blow, and the strength has not diminished after the cut", Joon pulled out the sword that Fat Robin gave him and stabbed it at Nabal, but he was dodged by Nabal and slashed it with another axe, this time Joon also learned to be obedient, and did not take that trick hard. Instead, he was dexterous and easy to dodge, and as Nabal retracted his strength, he kicked him in the back and planted him a few times forward, "Damn, arrogant boy, look at me and chop you!" Nabal said viciously. As soon as he got up, he threw an axe, but Qiao Ang already knew that there would be this move, and he dodged sideways, and before Nabal could make a move, Qiao Ang put a sword against Nabal's neck and said, "You dare to move!" Nabar is not afraid of death, but it doesn't mean that he wants to die, this obviously hopeless thing should not be done, but he will not be caught, he is looking for an opportunity to escape.

Joon took his big axe and asked, "What is this good axe called?" and Nabal said, "I don't know it's my ancestor." "Hahaha, okay, then I'll take it. Take away". After Qiao Ang finished speaking, he handed over Nabar to you a little soldier, but Qiao Ang just left 5 steps, Nabar took out 4 small black beads and threw them on the ground, and a puff of black smoke came out, and when the smoke dissipated, Nabar was gone, Qiao Ang knew the carelessness. But fortunately, 1 boss was captured, and the pirates Hoi An was divided for a few days, and this time it gave them a big blow.
