Chapter 021: Alleyne

The knight's glittering plate armor gave a sense of majesty and sacredness, but the mercenaries were accustomed to it all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The mercenaries did not take off the armor of the knights they had killed, but only took away the weapons, horses, and money they were wearing.

It's not that these mercenaries are merciful, or that they are respectful of the dead. And those bulky armors are a burden for mercenaries and will slow them down. The main thing is that wearing armor with a lion's emblem will cause trouble.

The squadron of knights chasing the mercenaries was a reserve force belonging to the Royal Knights, but it was still quite combative. However, they encountered a pike-mercenary group that excelled at knightly combat, which greatly reduced the advantage of the Swadia knights' dash.

A few years ago, the pikemen were hired by the Kingdom of Vegia to fight the army of the Kingdom of Svadia in the famous 'Battle of Deherim'.

In this battle, although in the end none of the soldiers of Vegia were able to set foot in the area of Dehrim, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of Vegia, which was mixed with their mercenaries, defeated the advance knights of Svadia on the plain fifty miles away from Dehrim.

The mercenaries of the Lancer Regiment were once assigned to the Fifth Column on the right flank of the Third Cavalry Regiment, and each mercenary who participated in the battle had no less than three Swadia knights in their hands.

Aren killed five Swadian knights in that battle, two of whom were killed by the spear's lunge with their horses, but the spear broke after killing the third Swadian knight's horse.

That battle was just a battle for the members of the Spear Mercenary Regiment, but it was later reported that the defeat of the Svadian Advance Order in that battle had shifted the tide of the battle.

The Rhodok army dispatched from [Ameraburg] successfully used the jungle to cover their whereabouts, and launched an attack on [Reindiburg] at night, and the second knight order of the Swadia Kingdom who was resting in [Reindiburg] was all captured.

The defeat of the two knights completely shattered the myth that the Swadian knights won in all battles.

King Haraus was forced to sign a contract for armistice reparations with Rhodok and Vigea, as Viggia's army had been trapped outside Fort Lundia for a long time.

Almost every day, no less than ten defenders of the fort were killed by the arrows of the Virgian marksman, which sounded like a huge battle between the two countries to contain the kingdom of Swadia.

The only memories it left for the mercenaries were the lucrative commissions after the war, as the lords and nobles had never been so generous.

The procession had been marching for some time, and in the distance on the plains, Nimeka, the largest town in the southern provinces, was already in sight. Fifty miles south of the town is the Rochester Bridge Pass, which guards one of the crossroads between the two countries.

A group of more than thirty horsemen galloping on horseback was getting closer and closer to them. Heavy armor horses, polished spears, full body forging armor and all kinds of expensive equipment were carried on the knights' bodies, and the silver armor on the chest was impressively engraved with a black eagle with wings spread.

Arenane stood vigilantly in the ranks of mercenaries, looking up at the knights who had galloped past him to kill the enemy for the sake of honor. Their reasons for fighting were clear, for the mission of the noble lords and the honor of satisfying vanity.

They are also one of the most elite knights on the continent of Calradia, which is completely different from the knight squadron that chased them before, and the cold and domineering aura that the Black Eagle knights infiltrate has proved that this knight squad is a battle-hardened elite division.

Even though this disdained Alleyne, he was still envious, because it was far more realistic than the fantasy he had.

Aren turned to look at Captain Victor, the corners of his mouth twitching, his eyes full of anger as he stared at the knights. Alleyne didn't know why, but in order to avoid being spanked by Victor's leader's brilliant martial arts, he kept his mouth shut.

One of the mercenaries in the team who lives in the town of Nimega suggested: "Chief, should we have a drink in Nimega?

"If you don't come, if you want to date that girl, just say, I approved it, don't be useless. Without looking back, Victor shattered the perfect lie that the mercenary had been brewing for a long time.

The big man Hank took the order to leave, and looking at the way he walked down the aisle, he knew that grass had already grown in his heart.

What kind of fairy is that girl?" wondered to himself.

Hank was about to walk away, and suddenly there was a roar behind him: "You stop!" Victor shouted at the departing mercenary, and from his expression, Alleyne guessed what this guy was going to ask.

Victor embarrassedly asked, "Is the ale discount real?" Alleyne guessed right again.

"Don't worry, you can't go wrong!" said Hanksa, who ran into the city first, looking for the "treasure" he had been talking about ten times a day.

Alleyne straightened out the weapon at his waist and walked into the city with his chest held high, which is one of the habits of mercenaries, and putting on a capable appearance will leave a good impression on the young girls in the city. Jamila turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of contempt.

There are many mercenary teams gathered in the city, the most conspicuous one is the one riding a tall horse and wearing heraldic armor, it seems that they are the exclusive mercenaries of the nobles of the Swadia Kingdom. These mercenary teams include the famous Golden Mercenary Regiment, the Raven Mercenary Regiment and the Snow Leopard Mercenary Regiment.

These mercenary teams are all mercenary groups that are about to go to the Rhodok area to fight, and due to the large number of mercenaries in the city, some scattered small mercenary organizations are also mixed in, which allows the pikes to follow these mercenaries through the Rochester Bridge Pass in the chaos.

Alleyne turned and walked to a weapons shop down the street, where the owner of the weapons shop handed over a scimitar. The scimitar sounded so familiar to him, an ordinary-looking shape with a dark red scabbard that wrapped around a blade that was almost straight in a very small arc.

The citizens looked at this ordinary but strange knife in bewilderment, and even the butcher questioned what this knife could cut.

Alleyne walked silently, and under the curious eyes of the young girls, Ellen staggered into the tavern, not because she was calm, but because most of the girls looked average. Victor once taught him a word that was called "rather lacking than excess".

Victor was drinking the ale from his glass, the brothers were drinking wildly, and Alleyne sat down, bowing his head and drinking his cup of wine.

Behind the leader of the mercenaries sat a man, who took a sip of wine from his glass, his hand stroking his cloak. After a while, the man stood up and slowly walked towards the sturdy mercenary.

Alleyne hurriedly stood up and threw the glass in his hand at the man. At that moment, his hand grasped the hilt of the sword in his cloak, and the wine splashed the man's face, Widodo hurriedly turned around, and Alleyne rushed over at the same moment.

The man was kicked in the stomach by Victor's two kicks, and the sword in his hand could not be drawn, but he took a step back after being kicked twice, and then drew his sword and slashed at the mercenary leader in front of him.

Even if Victor has the best martial arts, it is impossible to knock down a sober killer while drunk. In normal times, any mercenary would split the man in half.

Today, most of the drunken brothers have fallen unconscious on the table. Victor flashed back, the blade slicing past him, slashing over the wooden table beside him, and many of the drunken mercenaries lying on the wooden table fell on the ground and gnawed on the mud.

Alleyne's scimitar unsheathed, and without hindrance slashed at the man's waist before he could raise his sword again, and as the blade slashed through his cloak, and then split the hard object in the cloak, he sensed that the man was wearing armor.

The man fell to the ground, blood staining his clothes red from the wound on his waist, and his sword was still in his hand, but he held it up to his neck.

Before Aryne could stop him, his sword-holding hand hung limply, and a small red river flowed from his neck under the blade. A hint of soberness, Victor lifted the man's cloak, and inside the cloak was a sturdy armor that only Swadian knights could wear.

Completely devoid of the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe, Alleyne felt a cold air rush up the back of his neck. The man was sent by the Svadian nobles, and his armor was tattooed with a golden lion on a green background, the coat of arms of the Craggs family.

The brother who didn't sober up was woken up by cold water, and the mercenary companion who was kissing the baby was also ruthlessly dragged into the team, and when he was dragged away, Alleyne also took a careful look. Suddenly, I felt the coolness behind my neck even stronger.

The woman with a sturdy figure and a fat waist is a big baby. Since then, the concept of baby has plummeted in Mo Mocha's heart, and he vows that no matter how beautiful a woman he finds in the future, he will never call her "baby" again.

Assassinations by nobles often meant great danger, and once they learned that the assassins sent by the nobles had been killed, the nobles would send out a larger assassination operation. There were once three mercenary groups on the continent that died in the encirclement and suppression of the nobles.

In fact, it was supposed to be four, but the tragic fate of the fourth mercenary group turned out to be because the leader of the mercenary group hooked up with the lord's wife, and it was a very serious image blow to the mercenary industry.

There is a saying that hitting people does not slap their faces, and this kind of thing that slaps mercenaries in the face is something that no one wants to mention.

Victor led the team to the Rochester Bridge leading to the Rodok region, and before the matter subsided, entering the territory of the Duchy of Rodok was the best way to avoid doom.

Alleyne hung the Oriental scimitar on his waist, and the team marched quickly, an inexplicable panic spreading in everyone's hearts. (To be continued.) )
