As soon as the fifteen archers heard the order, they consciously stood in a row behind the infantry at the head, stretched their bows and arrows, and a dozen arrows whistled towards the gray cloak.
Unfortunately, it was too far away, and the bandits' longbows were of inferior quality, and most of the arrows had lost their direction when they flew in front of the gray cloak, causing no damage at all.
Wiggins immediately saw that something was wrong, and with a wave of his hand downward, the archers stopped firing their arrows and stared at Wiggins without blinking, waiting for his gesture.
It wasn't until the Grey Cloaks approached that Wiggins made a gesture, and in an instant, more than a dozen bows were filled, and a rain of powerful arrows enveloped the Grey Cloak at once. Even a salvo of fifteen men was very powerful, and with such an attack, at least five Grey Cloaks were killed on the spot, and the god Medius who saw them was gone.
Wiggins still frowned, counting things with his fingers from time to time. At this time, the archers' fire suppression still did not stop, and the opponent had already fallen a dozen people, but the rest were still rushing forward desperately, as if they had completely forgotten that they themselves had no combat effectiveness.
Who was Medius who could make his followers work so hard for him?
Wiggins finally stopped counting. His brow furrowed, and then a punch slammed into a person's shoulder: "Ryan, kill that leader first!"
The man named Ryan let out a "roar!", reached out and licked his fingertips with his tongue, then closed his eyes and let his fingers sway in the wind.
I beckoned Wiggins over, "Who's Ryan? And what is he doing now?"
Wiggins laughed and said: "Boss, this Ryan is amazing, when I first met him, I found that this guy actually hit a target 70 meters away with a shuttle, he is a rare sniper, he is now using his senses to sense the wind direction and speed, and adjust the state." As he spoke, Ryan had loaded his crossbow and raised it to his shoulder, his left eye closed, and his right index finger resting on the trigger. After aiming at the target, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. A crossbow bolt flew out of the slot, stabbing the leader into the heart with precision. The man's footsteps faltered, his gaze wandered, and then he swayed in a circle, finally letting go of his grip on the ebony staff, and fell to the ground.
The death of the leader did not seem to frighten the rest of the Grey Cloaks, who still tried to break through the line. It's a pity that when they finally broke through to the 30-meter range, their end was doomed.
Wiggins shouted almost hoarsely, "Infantry, throw spears!"
More than a dozen spears flew out of our battle formation, pinning the gray cloaks to the ground fiercely. Some can still writhe, and some die on the spot.
It wasn't until the last gray cloak was pierced by a spear that Wiggins breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss, we wiped out the enemy at the cost of zero casualties in this battle, how about Boss, I'm training well, right?"
I laughed and punched him in the shoulder: "Good boy, it's really yours, you will be an instructor in our team in the future, and all the recruits will be handed over to you to train." ”
Mo Cha suddenly tugged at my clothes: "Boss, look!
At this time, one person stood up among the refugees. Her pink tuft was lovely and charming, and her elegant demeanor and graceful posture immediately caught my eye. He walked up to me without hurry and gave a tender salute.
I secretly exclaimed in my heart that this little girl was born beautiful, elegant and refined, and her upbringing and etiquette were excellent. It's not a big man or the daughter of a prominent nobleman. Saved her, wow! I immediately saw a whole bunch of dinars beckoning to me, and maybe I could be a personal guard under that nobleman. I sat on the horse in a daze, and the cracks on my mouth were about to run down.
When the little girl had finished saluting, she slowly raised her head and spoke softly: "Thank you, sir, for saving us from the hands of those demons, my name is Jamila, and I am from Gronia." ”
I've never heard of it, there's no place like it on the continent of Calradia. Of course, I actually regretted that the personal guards were not properly handled. But she was talking to me, and I had to say, "Well, I have to say I've never heard of that place." Where were you going, and how did they get captured? What about your family?"
As soon as she heard this, Jamila actually whimpered, and suddenly burst into tears.
I panicked all of a sudden: "Eh, don't cry, what do you have to say, since I saved you, I won't leave you alone, what happened to you?"
Jamila raised her little face, and there was a little silver light in her starry eyes. "I don't know what happened, we were supposed to settle in Parabun, but on the way we were ambushed by a group of people who claimed to be believers in the god Medius, we were not prepared at the time, and although our men fought bloodily, they were captured in the end. They put some people in a hidden valley, and others took us here saying we were going on a pilgrimage overseas. My mom and dad are imprisoned in the valley by them, please save them, we will be grateful to you, and the people of Gronia will respect you!"
I looked embarrassed: "But you can also see that we are only such a few people in total, and your companions also need our placement, and there are so many things to do, I am afraid that there is no time to save your parents." ”
Jamila bowed her head, tears rolling in her eyes. She clutched the corner of her skirt and bit her lip, trying her best not to let herself cry, but tears still rolled down her cheeks.
"......I'm a little troubled, it's good that the troops didn't die in this battle, and now I have to attack a valley at her request? I'm just a mercenary, and I don't have a brain at all to fight these people, in case it's a country, I'm not going to be wanted by the whole continent? This is beyond my duty, and there is also the problem of funding."
But I've already promised Suke that I can't go back on my word, it's a difficult choice.
"Forget it, I'll help you, you go and talk to the refugees, just say that they are saved, and go back to their respective homes as soon as possible." When they leave, we'll set off to rescue your parents!"
As soon as Jamila heard that she was going to rescue her parents, she immediately went to evacuate the crowd. In less than half an hour, I led my troops in the direction indicated by Jamila towards the territory of the kingdom of Ryrdian.
Located in the middle of the Calradia continent, the kingdom of Ryordian occupies a vast plain, and due to the good pastures, the horses here are fat and strong, laying the foundation for Ryrdian to become a cavalry power. So far, the kingdom of Ryordian has become the largest country in Calradia, and the knights of Ryrdian are a powerful military guarantee of the kingdom, and in several battles, the knights of Ryrdian have played an important role, which also makes the kingdom of Ryordian sandwiched between the kingdom of Vegia, the kingdom of Nord, the kingdom of Rhodok and the kingdom of Kugit invincible. In fact, it is very difficult for any country to compete with it head-on.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with me, all I want to do is fight water thieves, occasionally help others and be brave and brave, what does the rise and fall of the country have to do with me.
A few days later we arrived at the valley of which Jamila had spoken, and all of us dismounted, bent over, and walked through the grass almost a meter high, silently approaching the enemy.
All of a sudden, my nose smelled a strange smell, a bit like barbecue, and a little bit like it, it was my nose that was very uncomfortable and wanted to sneeze.
I poked Manid, who was walking in front, "Hey, do you smell anything strange?"
Manid sniffed solemnly into the air, then took another deep breath before he said in surprise, "Boss, it seems to be true, there is a strange smell in the air. ”
Even Wiggins could smell it: "What does this smell like, why is it a little disgusting to ask?" ”
Mo Cha, who was walking in the front, lowered his voice, and while staring ahead with his eyes, he whispered: "Look, I've seen the world, it's just a taste of barbecue, maybe they're preparing lunch, I'm hungry...... What?!"
Wiggins grabbed his foot and slammed his head on the waist, knocking him to the ground and nearly falling to the ground.
One of the enemy sentries in front of us immediately walked alertly towards our hiding place, ebony staff raised in his hand.
Wiggins immediately made a kneeling motion, and the back of the brush fell to the ground, staring nervously ahead. Fortunately, the sentry had not walked a few steps before he was called away by his companions. He gave him one last suspicious look at the grass, then turned back to his companion.
Wiggins let out a sigh: "What are you trying to scare people to death, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he froze in place, not even his eyes moving.
I pushed him aside, and then froze in place.
A dozen gray cloaks danced around a huge pillar, filled with branches in the middle, and a gray cloak was holding a torch to be lit, and the people tied to the pillar looked desperate, and some of them said something in their mouths, as if they were pleading.
One word instantly crossed my mind: burning at the stake.
Burning at the stake!!
I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I drew my sword and pointed it straight ahead: "Everyone, attack!
The battle was short and intense. There are even fewer people here than in the first wave, only about two dozen. Wiggins rushed too fast at first and accidentally got a stick. When he rushed towards a person, he unfortunately tripped over a branch under his feet and fell firmly. Other than that, no one was injured again.
Until the last man stood in front of the huge stake at the stake, his eyes looking at us without confusion.
I stepped forward and pointed at him and said, "You inhuman people, do you know what you're doing? You're burning at the stake!
He said expressionlessly, "They have offended the great god Medius, and they deserve such punishment." “
I was suddenly angry, and my chest was filled with anger: "Don't lie here to confuse the people! Could it be that God is directing you to kill?"
For a moment, his eyes shook slightly, and his body shook a little. However, he immediately straightened up and muttered the words: "In the long night, only the god of fire will guide me." I crossed the sea, and ended up in the temple of God, and served by God's right and left...... Wait, the long night of eternity is coming, and I will be in heaven watching you be judged by fire!"
At some point, an extra dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He stabbed his heart without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation, and looked at us with a determined gaze.
Blood spilled from his chest and onto the ground, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
I watched in shock as he fell limply to the ground, and suddenly felt the breath of death envelop the valley, and the ominous feeling quietly took over my heart and lingered.
At this time, Jamila suddenly screamed. Trembling, she dug out an earring from the fire, and stroked the pattern on it for a long time, tears flowing down like beads of broken thread.
I walked up to her and slowly squatted down: "You, do you have any other relatives?"
Jamila whimpered, and after a while, she wiped her tears and said, "No, Mom and Dad are my only relatives, but now, they are also ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help it anymore, so she simply squatted on the ground and cried.
When her crying was a little quieter, I gently patted her on the back: "Okay, it's okay, it's all over, you won't experience war again." ”
She lifted her little face full of tears, and felt pitiful in the sunlight.
Looking at her face, I was struck for the first time by her sad beauty. I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I could only wipe the tears from her face gently and gently: "Yes, definitely." If it doesn't, I'll make it will. ”
Jamila stared at me blankly, not knowing how to wipe the tears from her face, and just stared at me like this, as if she wanted to see through my soul.
I was blushing and heartbeat when she saw it, and I quickly stood up and prepared to see if there was any loot, but I didn't know what I was thinking, and there was always a voice in my ear that said, "Hurry up, leave quickly." ”
I yelled at my leg in my heart, but it seemed to be fixed on the ground, and it just wouldn't listen.
Suddenly, Jamila slowly stood up, and the lotus dress slowly unfolded with her movements, like a blooming lotus flower, unstained with a single dust. But her gaze never left me for a moment (I turned my back to her, I couldn't see it, but later he said it jokingly when I drank and chatted with Mo Mao), and there was strange emotion in her eyes, sadness, some peace that should not have been, and some faint joy.
I just stood still, not daring to look back at her.
She walked slowly, and the lotus skirt dragged a shallow trail on the ground. I felt a pair of delicate and dexterous hands around my waist, and Jamila quietly pressed her face against my back. It seemed that my warmth reminded her of something, and her body trembled a little, and tears fell disobediently, wetting my clothes.
I turned around and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, you will follow me from now on, I will save you from the war, and at the same time, I will definitely avenge your parents." This is my vow. ”
