Chapter 014: Alleyne
The morning glow gradually spread in this direction, and the sky overhead was also lightened by the soft red. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's getting a little brighter. The colors of the sky are embellished by a layer of brilliant gold, from the reddest and thickest part of the original morning glow, there are a few special lights, in just a moment, the original main colors red and blue squeezed aside.
In the distance, the sky was full of golden clouds, sparsely covered with half of the azure - no, still gray-blue sky.
The party had been marching in the darkness of the night for seven hours in a row, until the sun rose and they decided to stop and rest when they thought the robbers could not catch up with them.
But they underestimated the Forest Brotherhood. In the forest where they lived, the Green Forest Brothers stalked silently like scouts, fighting fiercely and brutally like samurai.
Jason and the lightly injured Locke led hundreds of Greenwood brothers to chase after him, and Jason didn't care if the mercenaries lived or died, but he couldn't tolerate Duke Goering's son escaping from him.
"Boss, the bandits have caught up," said Mo Cha, who was in charge of watching the wind, galloping on his horse. "Judging from the number of them, there are at least three or four hundred, which is a very unfortunate thing. ā
"Looks like we can't hide this time. Manid on the side had a heavy expression. Because he knew that this time they had no way to escape.
"Karadus," Alleyne looked at his best friend. "You leave here with Jamila and Yoda. ā
Yoda was too injured to draw her sword to fight, and Jamila was the only woman in the group, and Alleyne must not let her fall into the hands of the bandits and become their plaything.
"Let the others flee with them first, I must stay and fight with you. Karadus replied with a resolute tone.
The fighting ability of 'Zenda Fighter' Karadus is undeniable throughout the team, and even Wiggins, who is known as 'The First Warrior', is no match for him.
If he stays, the combat effectiveness of the entire mercenary group will definitely increase. But in the face of the green forest bandits, who are dozens of times their size, their personal combat ability does not play much role at all.
"Boss," Tea Mao recommended himself. "Since Kradus is reluctant to leave, let me take his place. ā
"Go, tea!" Alleyne didn't want to delay any longer.
"I swear to God that I will keep them safe," Mocha finally said. "We are waiting for you in the city of Zhivadin. ā
As Chacha drove a wagon used to transport substances, carrying a worried-looking Jamila and an injured Yoda as they left alone.
For an instant, the entire team was silent, and there was no sound at all.
They have decided not to run away, but to wait quietly for death to come.
The proximity of death was all too familiar to them. Death may be another relief.
Mercenaries are a group of people who swim between blood and fire, and it is normal for mercenaries to fight between robbers and bandits.
Death is done every day, and for mercenaries, blood and death on the battlefield are not something to be feared, and even some people turn them into a kind of enjoyment.
The bright red and warm liquid, and the glorious wail of death and the fear of death.
"My brothers, there is only one path ahead of us at this moment," Ellen said in a cold tone, breaking the silence of his brothers. "Draw your weapons, raise your shields, put on your bowstrings, and hold them tightly, this is the moment of life and death!"
"Then let them come," shouted Stunger roughly. "We're never afraid of death, and we're going to show these bandits, who only know how to cower in the forest, how the warriors of the Iron Bandar fight. ā
"Please give me a weapon too," Jamilin suddenly shouted loudly. "I will take him and bet on the honor of knighthood to fight you until the last moment. ā
Jamie Lin told herself in her heart. In this world. Don't rely too much on others. Because even my own shadow will leave me in the dark. Now I have to rely on my own ability to prove my honor.
Alleyne's gaze fell on Jemilyn. "Wiggins, give him a sword. He drew his sword from his waist and shouted. "Prepare for battle!"
Wiggins drew his saber from his belt. "It's so sharp, I don't want to give it to anyone else. He tossed his sword lightly to the other man. "But your courage makes you qualified to wield it. ā
Jemilin reached for the sword he had thrown at him and gestured a few times in his hand. "A good sword indeed. He assured him. "I'm not going to let it hold my hand in shame. ā
"Haha," Wiggins replied gruffly. "Noble boy, I hope you can hold it and kill a few more robbers. ā
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the bandits of the green forest finally appeared behind them.
I am a mercenary, my name is Ellenn, I fight for justice, and at this moment I fight for myself and for my brethren. Alleyne muttered in his mind.
"Charge, charge, charge, charge!" "Charge!" After the first rain of arrows, Alleyne stood up and yelled at them, and immediately received a tsunami-like response: "Charge, rush......"
"Archer, take the arrow, let go ......" an arrow clicked into Aren's shield, as if to remind him to concentrate.
Ninety steps, eighty steps, seventy steps...... The familiar sound of horses' hooves was heard again, and the robbers' cavalry was already rushing towards them, their moonblade axes and cavalry armor glittering with a deadly glow in the sunlight.
Si Zhuangge blocked a feathered arrow, and quickly threw the flying axe in his hand at the horse that rushed towards him, the flying axe was embedded in the forehead of the warhorse, and the cavalry on the horse fell down with a scream as the horse rolled.
Stunger rushed two steps forward and split the bandit's helmet and skull with his tomahawk before he could get up. Another robber on horseback rushes at him, but is hit in the chest by an arrow shot by Ryan.
Stunger hurriedly dodged to avoid being knocked down by the out-of-control horse, and before he could stand firm, he saw a guy in a Vigian infantry helmet stabbing with a spear.
Wiggins stepped forward to block it with his shield, but was knocked down by the force of the impact, and the enemy's infantry joined the warband, and the thought only flashed through Wiggins's mind.
By the time the spear stabbed for the second time, Wiggins had already stood up, slammed the tip of the spear with his shield, and slammed it into the shaft of the spear to shake the spear out of the robber's hand, and slashed the creature into the neck with his back hand, and he could hear the sound of the blade slicing through the chain mail and sweater, slicing the collarbone, and screaming as he died.
There was no sympathy in Wiggins' eyes for these ferocious robbers, he would not look at the other party's frightened faces and eyes, let alone stop the fight in his hands.
At this time, Wiggins could no longer distinguish the enemy, but followed behind Ellen with Strong, swinging his battle axe and slashing at all the enemies that came close.
"We've got to kill those archers!" Stunger yelled at Wiggins, breaking ahead first.
"Strong......" Areng's words were interrupted by the cavalry robbers who were charging diagonally, and the spear skipped over the head of Aren who had fallen down, and the horses whistled by, and the dust splashed made him temporarily lose his shadow of Strong.
But Szhuanger didn't seem to hear his cries, and the roars and screams of the battlefield drowned out everything.
He then rushed forward and threw an axe at a robber who was drawing his bow in the distance, but it was too far away to miss the target, and the axe grazed the archer's calf.
"Watch out for the right!" Aren's voice sounded behind him.
Strong heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, and then turned left to block the shield in the direction of the horse's hooves, and shrank behind the shield.
A loud crash followed, and for a moment he realized that the cavalryman might be holding a hammer rather than a spear.
There was a faint endless noise in his ears, but he couldn't hear anything clearly, but his heartbeat sounded like a war drum beating in his ears.
Szhuanger tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids did not move, and his hand was still to no avail.
He couldn't feel his hands, he couldn't feel his feet, he couldn't feel any part of his body, he couldn't feel warmth or cold, he couldn't even feel any pain.
Perhaps, this is death, right?" thought to himself.
Alleyne looked at the fallen Stunger and found that Wiggins and Jager, who were following him, suddenly rushed to the bandits in front of him like crazy, and they slashed at the robbers with their weapons desperately.
