The curtain of countless dark nights is like a blessing being liberated from endless scrolls. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Rogge separated from the two Holy Sect enforcers, he rode his horse overnight on the way back to Chanda.
The figure of a rider stood in the rain, and it was clear that this knight was Rog,
At present, he has heard a lot about the situation of the dark cult from the nearby law enforcers, and he is preparing to return to Chanda.
Rog looked at the end of his limited field of vision, and some not-so-obvious shouts of killing came to his ears, and he decided to check it out.
When Rog approached the source of the sound, in the center of the ransacked village of Kullum, a group of about forty bandits clashed with a team of dark pilgrims of equal numbers, the bandits robbed the village and took the booty, and wanted to take the captives to make a lot of money, and the dark believers who embarked on the pilgrimage path in order to pass the baptism of blood and fire also needed the sacrifice of fire, so naturally they would not agree, and there were casualties on both sides in the battle, and no one side had a clear advantage.
"It seems that these dark pilgrims are everywhere!" Rog clapped his horse and rushed towards the village in front of him.
In the fierce battle between the two sides, a figure suddenly appeared in the dark corner of the village, killing three people in a row with a very familiar long sword, judging from his figure, it should be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but several bandits appeared behind him, ready to sneak attack this "sneak attacker".
Seeing this scene, Rogge, who was standing at the entrance of the village, immediately slapped his horse and rushed to the boy's position, and took two arrows to pierce the heads of the two bandits at the same time, and the boy also realized the enemy behind him, turned around and took the life of one person with a sword, and the last person was also killed by the sword of Rogge, who arrived by Pegasus.
"Rog!" the boy shouted.
"Krees, how could it be you, why are you here?"
Although it was a chance encounter, Rogge was still a little surprised when he saw the other party, so he asked him why he was here.
"I came out with Xiao Yi, and we got word from Suke that this place was attacked by a gang of bandits, so we temporarily organized a mercenary team, but unfortunately encountered this situation......
"Oh, see, what are you referring to? That's all in front of you?" Rog continued as he pulled him into a backlit corner where the enemy in the center of the village would not notice. "You ran out, does your father know that?"
The boy shook his head at first, then pointed at the red-eyed bandits and cultists in the center of the village. "There has been a disappearance of villagers in Kurum Village a few days ago, we suspect that it is related to the Dark Cultists, so we came here to investigate, but encountered the bandits who came to plunder, and the Dark Cultists also came, while they were dog-eat-dog, Xiao Yi took the villagers to the village mill to take shelter from the limelight. ”
"Maybe you're a bloody child, but it's not your fight, stay here, hide in a safe place, I'll go clean up these guys!" After the instruction, Rog jumped on his horse again, took his saber from under the saddle, and brandished his sword to brave the wind and rain and rushed to the battlefield.
Rog didn't want Krees to slip up, and his fate was unknown since Berners, who sailed in the Sea of Secret Words, brought back a message with a carrier pigeon. Count Arassis had lost a son, and he did not want his lord to lose another.
As soon as the freelancer Rogge appeared in front of the two factions, he was warmly "welcomed". He had to control his horse a little to avoid the bow and arrows and javelins from the bandits, and then use his sword to counterattack, easily slitting the throats of more than a dozen enemies, his horse began to be afraid, and Rogge had no choice but to put away his long sword and jump into the air on the horse's back, pull out the spear behind him in the fall, and kill several enemies around him with a horizontal slash, and roll to a relatively safe corner.
"Who are you, why are you meddling!" Several bandits freed their hands from the scuffle and raised their weapons to surround Rogge.
"Ah...... We have nothing to do with each other, but you've got me in my way, and I just want to find those Dark Cult ......"
"Stinky boy, ignore our presence!" the thief interrupted him with a roar of rage, and took a few steps forward: "Tell me, who the hell are you, or I'll hang you on the rope of the well!"
A dagger flew from nearby and struck the bandit in the shoulder, but it wasn't enough to kill him, and Krees broke through to Rog's side, sword raised to fight alongside him. The bandits didn't seem to intend to be influenced by these two people, so they left them and killed the pilgrim squad that was about to collapse.
As Rog had killed more Darklings than bandits during his raids, the Pilgrims had been reduced to bandits in a matter of minutes, and as the bandits emerged victorious, they sent a small team to the village mill to capture the villagers, while the rest of the men surrounded the two Rogers in preparation for their submission.
"Oops...... The gang of thieves must have been going for the villagers of the mill...... Krees!" Rogge knew he couldn't get out, so he had to pin his hopes on Eric.
"Okay, I'll warn Shaw that you don't die. He already understood what Rogge was thinking, and as Rogge struggled to resist the siege of more than two dozen men, he took the opportunity to escape from the chaos and follow the footsteps of the bandit squad to the mill.
The gate of the mill was smashed open by an axe, and more than a dozen bandits rushed in recklessly, but several people were put down by the traps on the ground and some other agricultural traps, but the unarmed villagers still could not resist the remaining bandits, and fell into their hands, only Xiao Yi, who led these villagers, escaped by luck and ran outside the village, and the bandits did not want to let go of such a stunner, so they abandoned their heavy weapons and rushed up to chase and kill Xiao Yi.
When they ran out of the village together, Xiao Yi unfortunately slipped on the muddy hillside, and saw that the bandits were about to catch up, but a blue-haired black shadow came out of the rain and instantly cut down these bandits who basically had no weapons in their hands, and Brune saved Xiao Yi at the last moment with a chopping sword.
"Ms. Shaw, are you alright?"
"Brune, I didn't expect you to be here......... Go and help Krees, he's still in the village!"
At this point, Brune helped Xiao up and comforted: "The freelancers have rushed to the village to rescue that kid, don't worry!"
Then he whistled his mount, lifted Shoy on his horse, and draped his leather cloak over her shoulders to protect her from the rain, and hurried to the village without looking back.
During the battle in the village, Rog was nearly assassinated by the enemy, but a group of freelancers in silver and white armor appeared in time, and several powerful feathered arrows were fired nearby to relieve Rogge.
"White! It's a good time!" Rogge slashed at the enemy in front of him and fled to White's location for shelter.
"Lord Rogge, I didn't expect to meet you here," White explained. "I'm here with the Brune Knight. ”
White took advantage of the situation to shoot several people to death, leaving the exhausted Rogge to hide behind him until Rogge's strength was restored, and the two fought side by side again.
Dozens of freelance knights drove their horses to rampant through the bandits, and in an instant, the bandits fled in all directions in panic.
Brune arrived at the village soon after, and Krees and Shoy returned to the village, and the dozen or so villagers who were rescued also returned home, but the news they brought was not good, because the bandits wanted to take advantage of the Freedom Knights hunting the dark cultists to plunder all the villages under their protection, and there was already a large army of 100 bandits on the outskirts of the village.
"This is not something we can handle, the villagers have no fighting power, and it is a dead end to stay in the village, if we leave, these innocent villagers will suffer......"
They were faced with a choice between a dozen free knights to resist nearly a hundred enemies, or to gather the villagers to defend against the enemy, but there was bound to be a loss, and in the end they decided to stay and fend off these enemies with their own martial arts, hoping to kill the leader and make the bandits retreat.
"Brune, we can't stop it with brute force alone, and Shaw and Krees can't fight, it's too dangerous!" Rogge reminded.
"Then it's up to us to deal with these bandits! Your sword is blunt, use mine. As a battle-hardened veteran, Brune did not lose his fighting spirit, looked at the blunt sword in Brunn's hand, and handed over his sword.
A moment later, the bandit army braved the wind and rain and marched into the village, about a hundred or ten people, forming a phalanx in the center of the village, and when they found that the corpses were all over the place of the bandits who had rushed into the village in the previous wave, they focused all their attention on the freelancers who were blocking them, and raised their swords and guns.
Opposite the bandits was a group of fifteen silver-white freelancers lined up in a row, with their submachine spears tightly held in their left hands and their weapons in their right hands.
When the bandits came at them, they also drove the high horses they sat down and rushed towards the bandits on the opposite side.
Although arrows and axes fell on them from time to time, the freelancers still rushed towards the bandits on the opposite side.
The arrows didn't hurt much from the heavy armor, but the axes that flew around caused the two Freeriders to fall from their horses.
Then the knights stabbed their assault spears at the bandits in front of them, and with a violent crash, one after another the thieves were knocked to the ground by the spears.
Rog threw away the cracked spear in his hand and stabbed the bandit in front of him with the sword in his hand, but several other bandits cut off the front legs of the warhorse, and he rolled to the ground with the fallen horse.
Luckily, he pulled out his feet in the stirrups before the horse fell, or he would have been crushed by his mount on one of his legs, and the bandits would have swarmed him and cut him to pulp.
As Rog rolled to the ground, his squire White drove his horse into the air a few meters away from a bandit who had attacked him from behind.
On the other side, Brune knocked several bandits in a row before he got off his horse and faced off with the real swords of those bandits.
The number of bandits fell more than thirty in the first wave of the horsemen's charge, and then in the moment when their blades intersected, a dozen or so fell.
Only four people fell from the Freedom Knights' side, two of whom were hit by throwing axes, and the other two were pulled off their horses by the bandits and hacked to death with axes.
The remaining eleven knights formed a small circle with their backs to back, fending off the bandits, who were still five times more outnumbered.
But they had the advantage of being covered with heavy armor, and even if they were cut or stabbed by the sword of an axe, only the armor became uneven.
The bandits, at the behest of the leader, surrounded the knights and let the bandits with spears or machetes rush to the front.
At this moment, Shaw and Krees rushed out with the villagers, who were armed with hoes, machetes, or hunting bows.
The bandit leader had to send some of the bandits to the village peasants whom he thought were vulnerable, but the anger in the hearts of the farmers, led by Shaw and Krees, overcame fear, and they bravely rushed at the bandits, raising their farming tools to fight the bandits.
Rog and Brune each raised their swords and rushed towards the bandits in front of them, and the freelancers faced three or four opponents at the same time, but fortunately, their armor resisted them a lot of damage, which allowed them to knock down one bandit after another in front of them.
White removed the longbow from his back and attached an arrow to shoot at the bandit leader who was hiding behind the bandit and shouting.
The arrow struck the bandit leader in the chest with unmistakable accuracy, followed by the sound of him falling to the ground.
The leaderless bandits began to panic, and then one of the bandits dropped their weapons and fled outside the back village. And with the first one taking the lead, there is the second, and the third ......
The bandits who did not escape also knew each other and threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Rog had several knights tie up the bandits with ropes and then take them to Chanda City. As for whether to sell it to slave traders or put it in a dungeon, I will be planning when I return to Chanda.
An hour later, the freelancers escorted dozens of bandits back to Chanda. (To be continued.) )
