Chapter 60: Laying the Ground
"The demon is dead, kill these beasts in front of us, and we can go back alive!" Penn shouted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was the voice of the leader, and Hawke excitedly thought that his physical strength, which was about to be overdrawn, exploded with amazing potential again at this moment, and the knight's sword in his hand crossed an uncoordinated slash, breaking off a demon that rushed up, and then took a step forward, and made up another sword on the opponent's head.
They had never suffered such losses before, and the wounds on their legs were basically from demons who had not yet died.
"It's Payne, our captain is back," Morgan shouted excitedly, "kill these brutes!"
"Kill them!" they cried out as they shattered the night sky, still strong.
Payne quickly walked up to the unknown teammate, ripped a piece of cloth from his pants and pressed it to the opponent's neck, "Hold on brother, believe me, you will live, have faith in yourself." ā
He saw the other man's lips move, and then a smile appeared, and at this moment, Payne suddenly felt the tip of his nose sore, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.
Holding back tears in his eyes, he patted the other man on the shoulder, and then ran to Johnny's side.
Payne quickly ripped another piece of cloth from his trouser leg and strangled it over the wound on his forearm, so that even if he couldn't save the arm, there was still a good chance of saving his life.
"Hold on Johnny," Payne said with a smile, "and we'll change to a titanium arm when we have the money, and make sure it's as nimble as before." ā
Johnny's eyes showed an excited look, although he didn't know what titanium alloy was, he knew that Payne would not lie to himself at such a time, so he nodded slightly, "Don't worry...... Boss, Johnny won't die. ā
Payne held up the other party's head and pushed him against the door, and then stood up with a determined gaze, he wanted to slaughter the beasts with his own hands to avenge the death of his teammates.
The rising rage made him almost forget that his body was still wounded, and in a flash he moved five steps sideways, drew his heavy sword stuck in the ground, and rushed in the direction of the demon.
The ensuing battle was brutal, the brutality of the battle was almost intimidating, and the ground beneath their feet was black and red, full of mud.
It wasn't until twenty minutes later, when Payne had eliminated five demon minions in one go, that they had the victory.
"Brothers," Penn said, glancing at the exhausted crowd and gritting his teeth, "it's not yet time to reap the victory, and we're still not safe until the sun rises, so...... We need to get out of here as soon as possible. ā
After the temptation demon was removed, those minions lost their eyes, so they are safe for now. But Payne was worried about the minions in the direction of the castle, each of them was now wounded, and if the wind was not right, the minions would be attracted by the smell of blood, and they would be doomed.
The night in this world is always warm and barbly, and Payne must not leave the life of the man in front of him to luck, so they must get out of here immediately, because he does not know when the wind will rise or how it will move.
Looking at the people who were covered in injuries and could barely move, Payne knew how cruel it would be, but he was afraid that once these people relaxed, it would be difficult to stand up, so while he was now, he had to take these people out of here, or at least find a relatively safe place to rest.
Hawk and the others also noticed that Payne was also injured, his face was pale, the black and reddish strips of linen on his abdomen were already soaked, and the blood was still flowing down his thighs. If they needed to rest, their captain needed it too, but he didn't.
This shows that the current situation does not allow them to relax, and they also believe that their captain will not be untargeted.
The battle just now further deepened Payne's injury, and it was estimated that the wound was torn, but he didn't look at it, he was afraid that he wouldn't have the courage to stand up again after reading it.
"Well, I'm fine," Roy said mutteringly as he nibbled on his bread, "just... Can you let me finish it. ā
Belch... This guy has a big heart, Payne thought.
The stench emanating from the surroundings was almost as good as that of stinky tofu that had been fermented for a hundred years, and the taste was absolutely authentic, and Roy had eaten it in such an environment, Payne thought, - what a powerful appetite!
Looking at the frightened Payne, Roy showed his honest side, and he handed out the other half of the bread, "Do you want some? ā
I don't look good because I've lost too much blood, okay!!!
But in this environment, he even foamed at the mouth and vomited, let alone ate.
"No," Payne rejected, "to those who need it." ā
"Hey, Roy," Morgan said, "I don't know where my backpack has gone, can you give me some, just a bite." ā
"Me too, give me a bite too. ā
......
Seeing these people feasting, Payne suddenly felt as if he was a little out of place, or rather, was he a little too hypocritical.
Of course, he didn't know what these people had experienced before, and what they had experienced when they came out of the slums was by no means what a modern person could imagine.
The weather in the south is hot and humid, and most of the food is difficult to preserve, and those that spoil or even stink become delicious in their mouths.
Sometimes they were so hungry that they had eaten even starving rats, and it had become their habit to eat in an environment full of dead rats and corpse stench.
So... The bad situation in front of them is just a small scene for them. Of course, they are also accustomed to seeing life and death.
When everyone had taken a bite, Payne smiled and said, "It's time to leave, brothers, let's get out of here first." ā
Payne had already planned that the only place they could go now was Kurstedburg, and he believed that the closer they were to the big cities, the safer they would be.
If they were lucky enough to survive tonight and didn't die on the way, they would have been saved.
There is a mercenary liaison point in Fort Kurfort, and as long as they can prove that they are mercenaries, the liaison there will properly accommodate themselves and the people in front of them.
Although the special medicine in the pharmacy cannot bring people back to life, white bones and flesh, it is still particularly effective for non-fatal injuries.
Payne had already figured out that even if no one cared about them, the demon's teeth would be exchanged for a gold coin, and if it wasn't enough, the dagger would be sold, in short, it would be important to save his life first.
But just then, the nightmare struck.
"Chief," said Hawke, with a wry smile, "I don't think we're going anywhere." ā
