Chapter 42: Kill, Kill! Kill!
The horse thieves came sooner than expected, probably because the cold of the winter night in the prairie made them lose their patience and want to finish this ticket early and return to the nest of warmth.
Not long after the campfire dinner of Leon and his men ended, more than twenty horse thieves outflanked the hill from three sides, and did not hide it in the slightest.
The bright moonlight fell on the grassland, and the original tranquility was broken by the chaotic sound of horses' hooves.
"Good time!" Leon stood up with a sinister smile, and picked up his tomahawk in his hand.
His stomach was full, but the tomahawk in his hand was hungry and thirsty!
"Get ready to fight, let these guys get a taste of what we're good at!"
"Good!"
The three bear men agreed in unison, and their fighting spirit was extremely high.
The three of them are all the most powerful brute warriors of the Hammer Tribe, one is level five and two are level four, and they have participated in several battles with Leon, and they have sharpened their fierce blood and steely will to fight in the killing.
Not to mention more than 20 horse thieves, even if thousands of troops and horses blocked the way, as long as Leon gave an order, they would dare to rush forward.
Wally's face changed, the enemy came so quickly than he expected, and looking at the opponent's unbridled attacking posture, he knew that this group of horse thieves was not easy to deal with.
Can only seven of his own men defeat this group of hungry wolves on the grassland? Wally was not very sure.
Without saying a word, he took out his crossbow from his hunchback, and although he said that as a guide, he could abandon his employer and leave alone in the face of life and death, Wally did not think that he could escape the encirclement of horse thieves alone.
As for the gap on the other side, it is just a trap for horse thieves to weaken the fighting spirit of their prey.
Sou!
A sharp arrow flew out like a meteor, swept a distance of nearly 100 meters in an instant, and accurately shot a horse thief who rushed to the front, right in the throat!
The hapless horse thief didn't even have time to scream, and he fell from his horse and died on the spot, smearing the first blood of the night's killing.
It was the Fire Hammer, who had the longest range attack weapon in the team, and the first shot made a difference!
"Hah!"
The bear hammer let out a triumphant cheer and eagerly caught up with the second feathered arrow.
Sigh law!~
Several horse thieves grabbed the reins of their mounts at the same time, and the presence of a sharpshooter was enough to make them scruple a lot, and the original rhythm of the attack was suddenly disrupted, causing all the horse thieves to slow down in unison.
Some horse thieves even raised small round shields for cavalry.
"Are you scared?"
Leon's rough roar resounded in the hills, and quickly spread to all directions: "A group of eggless cowards, what kind of horse thief are you so afraid of death, go back to your mother's arms and nurse!"
So arrogant!
So arrogant!
I'm afraid that as long as a man can't stand such ugly words, these horse thieves are originally lawless outlaws, how can they endure such insults, and they all let out angry roars.
"Brothers, rush up and kill them all!"
A horse thief, apparently the leader, shouted angrily, brandishing his sabre and sprinting it as he took the lead towards the knoll.
More than twenty horsemen against seven people, horse thieves occupy an absolute advantage in numbers, and the advantage of riding against foot is even greater, as long as they besiege together, one or two sharpshooters are impossible to resist.
Moreover, the distance between the two sides is only more than 100 meters, and the war horse sprints with all its might, and it does not take much time to rush to the front, and then slash with a saber, one back and forth is enough to crush all resistance.
It's just that the horse thieves calculated well, but they seriously underestimated the strength of Leon and the others.
Boom!
A ball of light brighter than the sun exploded in the sky above the hillock, and the dazzling light made the horse thief and the war horse under his crotch fall into a short-term blinding state in an instant!
Flare Magic!
This is the work of the mage Akram, and Leon uses it as a flashbang, and it always works wonderfully in certain situations.
The sudden stimulation caused the horses to panic, and several horses rushing in front of them were out of direction and collided with the ones behind, and several horse thieves fell directly to the ground, screaming one after another.
"Oh no, there are magicians!"
"Retreat!"
It's just that the war horses that run up are not able to stop when they say they can stop, and they can retreat when they say they can retreat, and there are more than a dozen war horses that blindly rush forward with their owners.
They didn't get far before half of the horses slid forward, their front hooves falling heavily on the grass!
Under the bright light, you can clearly see the greasy sheen of the grass, as if someone has sprayed a layer of oil beforehand.
Greasy surgery!
It was still Aklan's handiwork, but at the request of Leon, it was placed around the camp in advance, to guard against the onslaught of horse thieves.
Seeing the embarrassed horse thieves, Akran really admired Leon in his heart, the dazzling spell and the greasy spell are not offensive spells, and the mage often uses them when facing the enemy, but he has never seen them used so cleverly and interlockingly.
The point is that Leon is not a mage himself, but he has only heard Akran talk about the use and power of the spells he has mastered, and he has used these spells to great effect.
First he lured the enemy with taunts, then he used the dazzling technique to confuse the enemy, and then the greasy technique completed the final blow, and the horse thief's offensive had just begun, and it had already collapsed!
"Throw guns!"
Leon, who stood proudly on the hillock, shouted angrily, and Huo Ran threw out the shuttle gun in his hand!
The shuttle gun is the best and favorite throwing weapon of the bear warrior, and this time it came out just in case, Rock Hammer and the others carried a full thirty shuttle guns.
Although the barrel of the gun was sawn off a large part for ease of carrying, and the throwing distance was shortened, under the brute force of the bear hammer, these shuttle guns with fine iron heads were no less powerful than heavy crossbows.
The three bear hammers threw their spears at the same time, aiming directly at the horse thieves who continued to charge.
"Ahh
Three of the four pike guns were hit, and the three horse thieves fell again.
There were also the feathered arrows of the fire hammer, Wally's crossbow arrows, and the fireballs of Aklan, and in the blink of an eye, only the last two horse thieves who actually rushed to the hillock remained.
And the effects of the glare are still there!
"Kill!"
Leon picked up his double-edged battle axe and charged at a horse thief, not caring for the danger of being hit head-on by a galloping horse.
Click!
The battle axe mercilessly slashed at the head of the war horse, and with the help of the opponent's habitual momentum, it ran straight down from the neck, and actually split the entire war horse into two!
The horse thief on horseback was directly cut open by the axe blade, and flew forward screaming, falling to the ground and breaking his neck.
Two bloody horse corpses flew out from Leon's left and right, splattering horse blood all over his body, and the air was suddenly filled with an incomparably thick bloody smell.
Licking the horse's blood from his lips, the fierce color in the eyes of the bloody Leon almost condensed into substance, and he strode down the hill - there were still undead enemies there!
Wally looked straight at Leon's god-like back, his hands holding the crossbow trembled involuntarily, and his legs couldn't move like lead.
The scene of Leon splitting the galloping horse just now was all in his eyes.
In his more than 20 years of mercenary career, he has seen many strong men, warriors, knights, mages, rangers... Many of them were far stronger than Leon, killing more than ten times more people in a single battle.
But Wally swears that he has never seen such a fierce man in his life, with his brute strength and battle axe, he actually dismembered the corpse of a man and a horse on the spot!
What was even more terrifying was the murderous battle intent condensed in Leon's body, and the fierce and violent aura made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart a few meters away.
Could this be a fierce god who came out of hell?
The mercenary's mind went blank.
Just like the first time a virgin is born, the battle comes and ends faster.
Nearly thirty horse thieves attacked the hill camp occupied by Leon's seven, and in less than a cup of tea, twenty-five horse thieves were lying on the ground, including their leader.
Only the last two horse thieves slipped away, and tonight's battle was bound to be a terrible memory for them to remember.
"A bunch of poor ghosts!"
Leon cursed and changed out of his dirty bloody clothes, which cost him two gold coins before he was discarded in less than ten days.
At the end of the battle, according to the habit, it is natural to loot the booty, although the horse thief must be poor, who will do this work if he is not poor, although the mosquito legs are small, there is also a bit of meat.
But what made Leon angry was that only a few silver coins and dozens of copper coins were found from this group of horse thieves, all of which were enough for his clothes.
When Akram and Wally understood the reason for Leon's anger, they both couldn't laugh or cry, and they didn't know what to say.
"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!" Leon glared at the mage who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh hatefully: "Accumulation is a lot, and if you spend money like you usually, we will starve to death a long time ago!"
"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, boss, your wisdom is comparable to that of a wise man!" the mage raised his hand in surrender, patting his ass in a nonchalant manner.
"Ahem!" the mercenary coughed a few times and said, "Sir, oh no, boss, in fact, we are not without gains, these wildebeest are good, and they can be sold for a lot of money." ”
In the end, only eight of the more than 20 war horses were left intact, these horses were tall and sturdy, and there were small horns on their foreheads, which were the wildebeest specialties of the Hulun grassland.
On the Glorious Continent, the wildebeest of the Hulun grassland is very famous, and it is also one of the important trade goods of the Bimeng Kingdom and the Terran countries.
"Let's get some work!"
Lao Lei led a black horse's wildebeest, touched the long mane and nodded: "It looks better than the gray camel, and at least it has a little face when you ride it." ”
Wally, completely speechless.
