The three long arrows pulled out a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily into the high arrow tower. Heavy, sharp clusters of fine iron arrows pierced the thick leather armor, piercing the mountain archers directly onto the wooden pedals. The pain and fear caused the archer to scream loudly, and another archer crawled over and tried to break the shaft of the arrow to save his companion, but he tried several times without success, and instead made his companion scream louder, only to realize that the shaft was actually made of hemlock. The hunter drew his knife and prepared to cut off the shaft, but several whistling arrows nailed the two together. Seeing the tragic fate of his two companions, the last archer in the arrow tower could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and he rolled down the stairs of the arrow tower with a loud scream.

Hammer saw a figure roll down from the arrow tower and grinned, "Can you get on?"

Kidd watched the movement on the other side carefully. It is a village built halfway up the mountainside, the village is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and behind the ten-meter-high iron oak fence are four arrow towers, each of which has three or four hunters shooting at the mercenary group with strong bows. The mountain hunter's arrows could only shoot a distance of more than a hundred meters, and the mercenaries from two hundred meters away were very safe, while the yew longbow in the hands of the spirit monkey militia covered every arrow tower.

The three conical arrows shot by the longbow have a long range and great lethality, and can shoot through leather armor within three hundred meters, but the long arrow flies for a long time, and it is difficult to hit a single moving target. In fact, a person who can shoot a target of about 200 meters with a longbow can be called a marksman. Kidd and Hammer learned today that the elite soldiers that Victor had assigned to them were sharpshooters among the marksmen, and every arrow they shot accurately fell into the arrow tower two hundred meters away, and the narrow space in the arrow tower limited the dodge range of the mountain archers, and the fine iron arrow cluster pierced the five-centimeter-thick iron oak baffle, forcing out the people hiding behind, and then being shot one by one by the incoming arrows. Now, there is no threat from the four arrow towers.

"When Fermi closes the back door, we'll be able to get in. Kidd paused, turned his head and asked, "We passed through seven villages, and this was the first to fight against us, why are they not willing to trade with us?"

Along the way, the Warhammer Mercenary Regiment was a smooth ride, and there was no major battle except for one fight with the Gnolls. Those mountain scouts who probed their brains were all captured by the spirit monkey militia without exception. When the merchants took out the salt, linen, and arrows, the mountain scouts immediately took the mercenary group to the village to trade. Although most of the villages were reluctant to enter the village, they all gave in after seeing the bull easily break a hemlock. The result was a great rejoicing for the merchants, who exchanged cheap goods for amber, honey, beeswax, herbs, hides, and horns, and the mountain people found that the merchants were more fair than the village chiefs outside, and that they were not only provided with salt, armaments, and jaggery, but also learned how to handle sweet potatoes and make potions to stop bleeding. The relationship between the two sides is as good as honey blending oil, and many young mountain people who are not willing to be lonely have asked to join the mercenary group and want to have a look at the outside world. Kidd even thought that the mountain people behind him were like this, until he came across the cottage in front of him.

"In the mountains and forests, wild bears and wild bears meet, either chase and flee, or avoid each other, or divide the victory or defeat. It's the same with mountain people. The mountain people in front of us just saw that we were strong and strong, and they couldn't bite it, so they honestly traded with us. Now it is the season of the earth again, and the prey has to be fattened to catch it, and there is no mountain goods to exchange things with the villages outside, which is the most difficult time for the mountain people. Our stuff is good, the deal is fair, can they not be happy?"

Hammer continued: "This stockade is different, it is the largest stockade we have encountered. You see, we walked for five days, and there was no small village around, and they swallowed it. Now, the whole mountain forest is their territory, there are many people, there are many things, and there is no need to trade with us at all. ”

"They think they are strong, and we should avoid each other like wild bears. Hey, but we're not wild bears, unwilling to trade in the village, there's no need to stay. Look, there's a bloody battle ahead!"

Kidd saw the Spirit Monkey Militia make a gesture, so he smiled, "Fermi, they blocked the back door. Let's get on!"

Hammer nodded, waved his hand behind him, and the five spirit monkeys crossed the crowd and ran towards the cottage. They were extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye they were in front of the trench, jumped over the 5-meter-wide trench, and climbed the high iron oak fence in three or two clicks.

The leader of the mountain people in the camp suddenly saw the enemy appear on the fence, and hurriedly shouted at his chaotic men.

"Shoot!"

The mountain people did not expect the enemy to easily climb the fence, and when they heard the shouts of the leader, they were still looking for the target in a daze, and the arrows of the spirit monkey militia had already shot down first, and the four mountain people with crossbows were killed directly by the sharp arrows. Only then did the mountaineers react, and locust-like arrows were fired at the enemy on the fence, and the battle entered a fever pitch.

The two layers of iron oak fences are close to each other, and the top of the oak is sharpened, so that ordinary people can't stand on it, but it is difficult to resist the spirit monkey militia. The Spirit Monkey Militia's perception of up to 15 points broke through the limits of mortals, and coupled with the refinement of the Spirit Monkey Secret Form, they were able to toss and jump at the top of the fence. While dodging the feather arrows, the spirit monkey militia also continued to send sharp arrows into the opponent's vital point, but after all, the top of the fence was cramped, and the mountain hunters were numerous, and after a while, each spirit monkey militia had several feather arrows inserted into their bodies, but the spirit monkey militia continued to shoot arrows as if nothing happened, such a strange scene made the mountain hunters' scalp numb.

The strong bows made by the mountain people were enough to shoot bison, but the seemingly old leather armor of the Spirit Monkey militia was specially made. The alchemy auxiliaries sewed hard leather armor from three layers of cowhide, and a special thin rattan soft armor was sandwiched between the cowhides. These soft wisteria nails are made from tough fine mountain vines, woven into fine and compact rattan nails, and then soaked in mixed herbal juice to make them more tough and elastic. This kind of armor was named rattan skin armor by Victor, which has a strong resistance to punctures, and ordinary crossbows can only soak through rattan skin armor for 3 cm at a distance of 50 meters, let alone resist the hard bows of mountain people.

The leader of the mountain people, who was as strong as an ox, soon saw that the arrows on his side had no effect on the enemy, and those enemies who were more agile than the lynx could shoot down a mountain man with each arrow, and although the mountain people's leather armor was covered with a layer of chain mail, the enemy's arrows were like eyes, and they always bite the parts that are not protected by armor. The most terrifying thing is that even if they are shot in the limbs, the mountain people will fall to the ground and cannot move. In just a moment, more than a dozen people had fallen on his side, and the opponent was rapidly approaching the rattan rope of the drawbridge, and the leader of the mountain people hurriedly shouted: "Quick! with a crossbow!

As soon as the words fell, the leader of the mountain people found that the enemy raised his hand to shoot arrows in his direction, and the leader of the mountain people was horrified, and grabbed the mountain people beside him to block in front of him, "poof" "poof" "poof" A few sounds, he saw two sharp arrows coming out from the back of the head of the ghost for the dead, and the red blood dripped down the sharp arrow cluster. Fortunately, the leader of the mountain people who had escaped death retreated again and again with the corpses of his companions, and several mountain people with shields quickly surrounded him.

Although the rattan leather armor can resist the hard bow, but it can't block the cross crossbow within 50 meters, and it can't stop the heavy pike dart, if it is a 17 point barberry militia will not care about these attacks at all, but the body of the spirit monkey militia is only 12 points, so those who tried to pick up the cross bow and the mountain people with the shuttle dart in their hands were immediately shot mercilessly, the sharp arrow was either through the brain or through the throat, for a while, the mountain people were shot by the ghost crying wolf howl, heavy casualties, only those mountain people who covered their faces with shields sparsely threw out a few shuttle darts, but there was no accuracy.

A spirit monkey militiaman approached the rattan rope pulling the drawbridge, he pulled out the fine iron short sword and swung three swords in a row, the blue sword light was connected, each sword slashed into the same gap, and the tough rattan rope was cut off. The heavy drawbridge collapsed in half, and straightened the remaining vine cord. Seeing that the gate was about to be opened, the fierceness and bloody courage of the mountain people were aroused, and they followed one after another, with deadly feathered arrows, roaring angrily, and threw their shuttle darts at the spirit monkey militia. With one hand, the spirit monkey militia slid over the top of the door like a civet cat, and slashed the taut vine rope with a sword, and the drawbridge fell to the ground with a bang.

Three barberry militiamen rushed along the drawbridge and crashed head-on into the mountain people's ranks, smashing them mercilessly with heavy hammers in both hands. These 200-pound weapons were made of fine iron, and the hammer head was 2.5 cm long and forty centimeters in diameter, covered with hideous spikes. The hammer let out a terrifying howl under the wielding of the barberry militia, mixed with the sound of bones bursting, and the three mountain people were knocked out like broken sacks, the minced flesh flew sideways, the blood fell like rain, and the mountain people collapsed.

Moments later, the three regimental commanders entered the camp, and the mountain people were driven to the clearing, the wounded were carried aside, and the bodies were piled up in another. Hammer sucked deep into the bloody air and asked Fermi, "Are there any dead or wounded on your side?"

"Two daredevils died, and one was wounded. Fermi said indifferently.

Iron Hammer nodded disappreciatively, and eight young mountain people joined the mercenary group, and they followed Fermi's side and were responsible for blocking the back door, which was supposed to be the easiest task, but two were killed and one was injured. The mountain people are skilled in archery and have a fierce temperament, but they are extremely poor in tactics, and they always can't help but want to shoot arrows, forgetting that saving their lives is far more important than killing the enemy, and the opponent is not a beast. Iron Hammer knows very well that seizing the opportunity to shoot prey is a habit formed by mountain people since childhood, and it is useless to say more, only the lesson of blood can make them qualified warriors.

Kidd came up with a crossbow and said, "The mountain people are 17 dead and 22 wounded. There were three guys who died miserably, all of them were broken!Haha, those rookies vomited while cleaning up. ”

"If it weren't for the three broken, there would have been more deaths! Iron Hammer looked back at the newcomers and spirit monkey militiamen who were cleaning up the battlefield, and couldn't help but say, "This is still the result of the mercy of his subordinates. ”

The Spirit Monkey Militia shot far more enemies than the Barberry Militia killed, but as soon as the Barberry Militia attacked, the mountain people immediately knelt down. A tragic death can always destroy the fighting spirit of the enemy, and Nelson often does this, and the War Bear mercenaries are no stranger. Fermi touched his head, pointed at the injured mountain people, and asked, "In this case, what does the mercenary manual say?"

"It seems that the fewer people who die, the better, and those who should be saved are saved. That's probably what it means, why don't you call the brute bull and ask?" Hammer was a little unsure, and he basically didn't remember the rules in the mercenary manual.

After the brute bull came over, he said with a straight look: "The third article of the mercenary manual, when encountering a village that refuses to trade, it is not for the purpose of killing, first break through, kill the leader and his descendants, and then force them to trade, try to treat the wounded, teach the technique of planting potatoes, can not teach the formula of medicine, drive away the mountain people, burn the village, and mark the red area on the map." ”

"Let's do it! clean up and call Wech and the others. Hammer clapped his hands.

"Wait!" Kidd said, handing the crossbow to Hammer, "something is wrong. ”

Hammer took the crossbow, and his face changed suddenly. Fermi walked towards the wounded, grabbed a mountain man who was still paralyzed, and carefully examined his chain mail, and then checked the armor of the other wounded.

"Half-body chain mail with leather armor, the standard equipment of elite soldiers, the insignia has been worn off. We're in big trouble!" Fermi said heavily.

Hammer strode up to the captive and asked coldly, "Who's the head?"

The leader of the mountain people stood up, squinted at the hammer, and said disdainfully: "I, you are the apprentice knight of that family, I am Baron Murphy's man, and we refuse to trade with you because this place belongs to Baron Murphy。。。。。。 The hammer struck the leader of the mountain people in the stomach, and the leader of the mountain people immediately bent into shrimp, and then received another blow to the head, and the whole person fell to the ground. The hammer stomped on the head of the mountain leader, and just as he was about to ask questions, Fermi and Kidd walked over.

"Don't talk nonsense! There are also some mountain hunters hunting outside, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous we become! I only remember the first article of the mercenary manual, and you haven't forgotten it, have you?" said Fermi coldly.

The first article of the mercenary manual: Protecting oneself is the first priority, and the regiment commander will make a decision on the spot! Iron Hammer looked up at the cold eyes of his two companions, their meaning was very clear, they had provoked the lord, and they had to run away!

More than 200 terrified mountain people, men and women, old and young, huddled together. Hammer's eyes flickered.

"Uncle, give me a knife and let me kill Moore. I'm willing to tell you everything about him. A tall boy stepped out from among the captives.

"Why?"

"Moore led the men to annex our village and killed my father. ”

"What's your name?" Hammer asked.

"Drake. ”
