Chapter 026: (I'm a Mercenary)

One day, two days, three days. Time flies, and the half-month deadline is approaching.

Thanks to the city's street bandits, Aren's pockets had never been so abundant, and the purse he had just snatched was nothing more than a knife swing, and it changed hands when their necks were pierced by daggers.

Ellen used all his money to buy a set of light scale armor from the Warframe Shop. It is called light scale armor, but it is just a black armor and leather coat.

The black scales, which are not densely arranged on the black leather coat, make it extremely flexible, and only the upper body, bending over, and turning are all easy.

Blacksmiths may not like this kind of work, it is not very material, it is not very defensive, ordinary two-handed swords can cut it, and lords will not patronize this kind of armor at all.

Therefore, Ellen spent twenty dinars on this set of armor. This price can be said to be slightly cheaper.

Only in the eyes of mercenaries who know how to fight can they see the value of this armor. The sparsely distributed, covering the leather coat and overlapping with the movement, makes the combat flexibility reflected, although the scale armor is not hard, but can withstand the slashing of the short sword and the throwing of the throwing knife.

Alleyne and his companions went to the basement, retrieved the weapons they had hidden there, and walked out of the cellar through another exit, a large courtyard in the ghetto. He heard him snort as the mercenary pushed the cellar cover, and the mercenary fell backwards.

As Aryne held him up, an arrow struck his armor, piercing the mercenary's heart. "There's an ambush!" he leaned down and squatted down, raising his hand to close the eyes of the deceased.

"In the name of the Kingdom of Svadia, the Royal Assassin Order!" a familiar voice sounded, it was the leader of the Assassin Regiment, but he did not expect the Assassin Regiment to be hired by the Svadia royal family. "Give the people in the cellar three minutes, lay down their weapons, and come out. ”

The voice paused for five seconds, and the same voice sounded again: "We just want the corpse of the leader." ”

When there was a brief pause in the voice, Alleyne was about to put down the spear in his hand, but the next words made him stop moving. Slowly carrying the heavy broad shield behind his back, he tightened his grip on the siege crossbow in his hand, slowly pressed the string of the crossbow, and put a crossbow arrow into the arrow slot.

"Aren, don't move, get out of the tavern exit. Victor's hand pressed against his shoulder.

Alleyne shook his shoulders and shook off the captain's hand. "Brothers, fill the crossbow with arrows, and carry the broad shield like I do. He didn't know what he was doing, but he understood what it meant to step back, the cellar was full of hay, and he had just heard the sound of flint.

"You're crazy, put your weapons down!" Victor growled at him in a low voice, and Alleyne looked at the captain in the cellar, and under the leather coat, Victor's hand had already ripped open the leather holster of the dagger.

Alleyne raised his hand to block Victor. "Are you sure!, Craggs won't ambush the golden-robed knights and infantry he brought with him?" he helped the steel helmet on his head. "The mercenaries only killed themselves!"

Finally, a shout from outside the cellar rang out, positioned above him.

"Get out of the city!" Ellen shouted to the mercenaries behind him, and with a force of his feet, he jumped out of the cellar, and the sound of arrows embedded in the heavy broad shield behind him made him see the leader of the Assassin regiment on the wall. If memory serves, his name is Fleet.

Aren's fingers jerked, the crossbow strings trembled, and the man on the wall fell crookedly. He also took the opportunity to pounce on a pile of broken grass, held the shield behind his back horizontally in front of him, and drew the spear from his waist.

Another bolt was nailed to Aren's shield. In a trance, he saw the merchant who was spitting fruit at him wearing leather armor and trying to pull the crossbow string.

With the help of the timing, Alleyne spotted the enemy in the courtyard, and there were three standing on the wall, one of them was loading crossbows at the door, and more were in a small room in the courtyard.

The crossbow bolts were tilted against the narrow mouth of the cellar, and the two mercenaries were shot through the neck, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of their mouths, and they fell back into the cellar, and more rushed out with the help of the broad shield, and the two people on the wall were shot down, leaving one with the crossbow bolts loaded.

Victor rushed out and pierced the chest of the Svadia soldier at the entrance of the courtyard with the pistol in his waist.

The remaining four mercenaries in the cellar were lucky enough to escape the first crossbow shots, and when they were climbing out of the wooden box, four Assassin mercenaries suddenly rushed out of the courtyard gate, and smashed the first mercenary back into the cellar with oil-soaked torches.

Torches were thrown into the cellar, and a heart-rending cry was heard from the cellar, and a man on fire rushed out of the cellar, crying and running to the house in the courtyard. But when he took the third step, he was shot through the chest by a crossbow arrow.

This yard was supposed to be used for stacking something, and the larger one could be used by fifty soldiers to practice together. Alleyne cowered behind the grass with his shield raised, dodging the Assassins' crossbows.

Most of the mercenaries rushed out, but were immobilized by the constant fire of crossbow arrows, and one of the mercenaries hid in the old stable, pressed the crossbow arrows, got up and shot down a knight in the small house, only to be put down forever in the stable by the three arrows that followed, one of which blinded him.

During the crossbow fire, Alleyne saw a man holding a broad shield to his side, speeding through the crossbow's net, and almost a dozen crossbow arrows were nailed to the shield.

Eventually, the mercenary stepped over an old abandoned millstone and threw himself behind the haystack beside Ellen. The moment he fell, Alleyne heard him whisper, "I am a mercenary, and my name is Roman." "

The Assassins' crossbow arrows were still firing, and Aren's broad shield was full of arrows, but he didn't dare reach out and pull them off. A Swadia Assassin climbed back onto the wall, attempting to shoot at the hidden mercenaries again.

Alleyne heard Roman's crossbow strings fluttering, and the Assassin on the wall fell. Roman loaded his second arrow and shot down one of the Assassin mercenaries through the cover of the haystack.

The crossbow bolts stopped firing at that moment. Roman took the opportunity to load the crossbow bolts, then turned his head, "The armor is good!" he looked at Aren's black armor.

The door to the small house opened, and Swadians, dressed in black soft armor, rushed forward with a kite-shaped shield in hand and a sword in their right hand. Roman's crossbow was fired again, and a Swadian fell on his back.

Hank, the big man, pulled out the straight-edged military knife at his waist and slashed at the shield with a swing of his sword, slashing off many of the crossbow arrows, leaving only the arrows of each one. The mercenary raised his shield to block the slashing sword, and with a sideways slash, the head of a Swadian was cut in half.

Alleyne followed his example and cut off the bolts from his shield. Suddenly, I felt a lot less burden on my arms. The Svadians were a bit more numerous than the mercenaries, but the small courtyard made it impossible for them to fully exploit their numerical advantage.

Alleyne swung his spear and fended off a slashing sword, which was then impaled by Victor's throwing spear.

The Swadia Assassins' swordsmanship was renowned among the mercenary groups, and the mercenaries, who had always been mighty in battle, did not gain a clear advantage in battle, and the only one who dealt significant damage to the enemy was Roman behind the haystack, whose crossbow arrows sent many Svadians to hell.

A mercenary was stabbed in the chest by a Swadian knight with a sword, and Alleyne raised his spear and stabbed the knight in the neck from top to bottom.

At that moment, another Svadia knight rushed at him, his sword slashing at his broad shield, and he took the opportunity to rush forward, and his spear stabbed his opponent's body from the shoulder socket.

In an instant, Alleyne felt a slam blow to his head, and the tremendous force shook his head through the steel helmet. Only the big man shouted, and a short sword blocked the man's second blow.

After a brief scuffle, the two sides slowly retreated to their ranks, and a dozen corpses lay in the place of battle, and thanks to the protection of the heavy broad shield, only five belonged to the mercenaries of the spear mercenary group.

Three of the Assassins' mercenaries supported their leader, blood soaking the left half of Fleet's body, and a crossbow shot by the little Roman stuck in his shoulder. Friet whispered to the Svadian knight beside him, and then the Assassins left.

Aryne wiped the bloodied spear on the ground from the corpse of an enemy and hung it back on his waist, and Victor put away his dagger and sat down on the ground panting. The little man Roman threw away his crossbow and turned to lean against the haystack.

The mercenaries were given time to rest, and according to the aftermath count, they lost eleven mercenaries. Victor and they did not chase after the departing Assassin regiment, and the mercenaries were accustomed to terminating the battle at any moment.

The bodies of the deceased were placed in the cellar, and the mercenaries buried their bodies with hay from that haystack. Luckily, Alleyne recovered three gold coins with a lion on the back of the Clargs banner from the corpse of one of the Assassin Corps dead on the ground.

Only the nobility had their own family coat of arms in the mint. But why did Prince Craggs send someone to kill us? And why did he name the corpse of the leader? And Ellen doesn't know any of them!

"Hey, come over to Alleyne, have a drink! There are two barrels of ale in this place, and it smells like it was from Djerkhala!" the big man Hank beckoned to him. Mercenaries rarely call each other by name, as mercenaries don't like to make friends.

The mercenaries didn't want to bear the pain of losing their friends, and Alleyne didn't know what was wrong with Hank, but he saw trust in the other party's pupils, in addition to calm.

"Oh yes, I'm here, Hank. "To hell with it!" Alleyne walked over to the crowd sitting around.

"I'm a mercenary, my name is Ellenn, and I don't have a surname. Many simple wooden cups collided in the air. "To cherish the living is to cherish the best of the dead. 」
