Chapter 50: Bloodstained Valley
It's noon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The caravan came to a narrow valley.
The mountains on both sides are steep, up to 20 meters high, and the roads are narrow enough to accommodate only one horse-drawn carriage.
Riding on a black horse, Yarman raised his hand and motioned for the caravan to stop, taking turns eating while waiting for a return from the scouts ahead.
Moments later, scouts dressed in brown and green that blended in with their surroundings returned to the caravan. Yarman nodded frequently as he listened to the scouts' findings. When the escort finished eating, he waved his hand and led the caravan onward. However, when the caravan was halfway through, there was a rumbling sound, and the cliff suddenly rolled down and many falling rocks smashed into the carriages and men. The guards tried to escape, but the narrow road could only pass three people at a time. People push and shove each other, but they can't move an inch.
"All in the wagon!" yarman shouted, swinging his sword in a wave of gray energy that smashed a falling rock that was about to smash into the guard's head.
Although the guards were afraid, they chose to obey the order unconditionally.
Years of militarized training allowed them to quickly stabilize their position and rush into the carriage. Yarman did not disappoint the guards, and the steel-welded carriage withstood the impact of falling rocks.
Despite the great unrest, none of the guards died, only a few were slightly injured.
However, the horses were not so lucky, and more than two dozen horses did not survive. As the rockfall subsided, the guards stepped out of the carriage and looked at the bloody horses, happy and a little worried. The valley was sealed with stones, and it was clear that the rockfall was not caused by a landslide, but by someone who did it on purpose.
"Kill!"
It seemed to respond to the conjecture of the guards, and suddenly, shouting to kill the heavens.
More than 200 robbers descended from the sky like demon soldiers, and they came to the bottom of the valley along the iron ropes thrown from the cliff, and they were assembled in a blink of an eye.
"If you want to get rich, follow me!" the Black Tiger King bore the brunt, holding his axe and gun aloft, shouting again and again. The robbers shouted and charged the guards with no fear of death.
"Shield Wall!" yarman shouted as he looked at the menacing bandits. The guards took off their tower shields one after another, and formed a strong line of defense in groups of three, fearless of robbers who were more than twice as numerous.
Yarman led several elites to rush wildly in the bandit crowd, and every swing of his sword was accompanied by the bandits' screams.
"Die!"
The Black Tiger King shouted angrily and slashed at Yarman.
Yarman raised his foot and kicked the onrushing bandit to the ground, and at the same time used his strength to retreat a meter backwards, dodging the Black Tiger King's slash. The two fought together, and the robbers also fought with the guards. Roars, wails, and metal crashes form a death movement. The bandits attacked fiercely and in large numbers. The guards were well-trained and well-equipped. Due to the terrain restrictions, the robbers could not break through the impenetrable shield wall, and the guards did not dare to leave the protection of the tower shield and kill the enemy.
For a time, the two sides reached an impasse.
Seeing this, Albert in the carriage had a cold glint in his eyes.
"Kill!" he roared, leading the charge. At the same time, the Barrett trio also came out.
Albert stepped on the shoulders of the guards, crossed the shield wall, and held a one-handed sword as if he were in the midst of the bandits. The body is agile and flexible, like a vigorous and fierce leopard.
Charlotte holds a sword in one hand and a crossbow in the other, and the crossbow attacks the sword and defends, advancing and retreating in moderation. Under each crossbow arrow, there are robbers who die tragically, like cunning and changeable female wolves.
Barrett wielded his greatsword, his tactics opening and closing, and flesh and blood flew around him, like a strong and fearless lion.
Boris wielded a pair of one-handed swords, slashing deadly, like a poisonous snake that swallows cold letters.
As soon as the four of them joined the battle, they killed more than a dozen robbers, greatly boosting the morale of the guards. Many people are ready to move and want to be killed. But before the commander gave the order, no one dared to act rashly.
Albert kept moving forward while rushing to kill, his eyes were always locked on the Black Tiger King, and now that his strength had increased greatly, he wanted to be ashamed. A moment later, he broke through the bandits' encirclement and came to the Black Tiger King.
"Leave it to me. As he spoke, Albert swung his sword and slashed at the Black Tiger King.
Yarman didn't say a word and walked away.
"Albert!" the Black Tiger King roared, and then swung his axe and spear at Albert, roaring angrily, "I'm afraid I won't find you, and I can't imagine that you will send it to the door yourself." ”
"Don't make excuses for your stupidity. Albert sneered, and the tip of his sword connected the dots, and while the axe and gun were missed, the man also used his strength to move several meters horizontally. "I see fear in your eyes. He reached out his sword and struck at the Black Tiger King. "Today you will die!" Albert shouted, his sword blazing.
"Then let's see which of us dies first!" the Black Tiger King swung his one-handed sword with his axe, and then slashed at Albert's waist with the help of his strength.
"Insect carving skills!" Albert twisted his wrist, and the blade of his sword pressed against the blade of the axe.
"There is growth. The Black Tiger King was stunned, if it was a coincidence to block an attack, then blocking it twice in a row would be strength. He couldn't figure out how Albert's strength could grow so rapidly in just half a month. Although he was stunned, the Black Tiger King's movements were not slow at all. With a missed blow, he slashed at Albert again. "If you want to kill me, you're still far away. He roared, summoning all his strength.
"Albert is alright. Charlotte's expression was a little worried, and as she spoke, she casually struck through the attacker's head with a crossbow in her hand.
"Rest assured. Barrett slashed the bandit in front of him with his sword. "That kid isn't stupid. He laughed.
"Come help me, if you've had enough. Boris yelled angrily, and he fell in love with his 'old friend', the dwarf Quint. Both are five-star warriors, and the strength of the two is almost the same, but Quint has robbers around him, which makes Boris lose the wind.
Just as Barrett and Charlotte were trying to come to their rescue, several boss-level bandits rushed and entangled them.
The easiest on the battlefield is Yarman, who is unstoppable by the sword. And the fiercest battle is the Black Tiger King and Albert.
Although the strength of the Black Tiger King is slightly stronger, Albert relies on his agile body and scorching flames, not only does not fall behind, but also occupies the initiative. Every time God makes a stroke, it will make the Black Tiger King overwhelmed and have a big headache.
What kind of monster is this, the Black Tiger King is horrified. Albert's strength has improved so much, it can't be said that it is a rapid progress, but a rapid speed. This made him feel a little resigned, and at the same time felt a sign of danger. If Albert continues to grow up, even if he escapes this time, sooner or later he will be in a different place. Thinking of this, the Black Tiger King shouted, and the offensive became much more fierce. He gave up his non-vital defenses, intending to nip this potential foe in the bud.
Albert saw the opportunity and stabbed the Black Tiger King in the abdomen with a sword. But when he was withdrawing, the Black Tiger King's axe and spear slashed over, and the landing point was his head. Albert turned sideways to dodge, but found that the Black Tiger King's hand had grabbed his arm at some point, making him unable to move.
The Black Tiger King laughed wildly, Albert was so easy to deceive. He thought to himself, a rookie is a rookie, and he will be easily fooled if he sells a flaw.
Just when he imagined Albert's tragic death in his heart, Albert did not see any panic in his eyes. He curled his claws in his left hand and grabbed at the axe. At the same time, his left hand turned into a dark red dragon claw, swirling with scorching flames.
The axe makes contact with the dragon's claws, making a piercing sound of metal grinding.
Albert felt his jaw crack, but he didn't have time to worry too much about it, and drove the flames around the axe.
The Black Tiger King's laughter came to an abrupt end, he didn't know what kind of spell Albert was, but it was certain that the strange claws would hurt him. The Black Tiger King tried to lift the axe, but it didn't move. With more force, the axe gun was lifted, but it was accompanied by Albert, who was clutching the axe blade.
Under the scorching flames, the axe began to turn red and hot.
"Get out!" Feeling the hot temperature, the Black Tiger King roared angrily. A warrior without a weapon is equivalent to losing his life, and he must not let go.
The Black Tiger King's eyes flashed fiercely, and he raised his leg and kicked Albert, and gray vitality swirled around it.
It seems that he is really destined for 'Broken Rock Legs', Albert thought to himself, and all enemies like to use this trick against him. Although he was slightly distracted, Albert's movements were not slow at all, and he already had a way to deal with the Broken Stone Leg. He exerted force with his left hand, causing his entire body to rise, and then wrapped his legs around the hilt of the gun and kicked the Black Tiger King's head.
The Black Tiger King's stone leg missed, but Albert kicked the Black Tiger King to the ground, and the Black Tiger King's weapon-holding hand was released.
"Convinced?" Albert held the axe in his hand, the blade of which pressed against the throat of the Black Tiger King.
"Don't get too complacent, boy. The Black Tiger King gritted his teeth and swallowed, "Kill me." ”
"I have a better option, little black cat. Albert said with a smirk. "Let your people stop, unless you want them to die. He shrugged.
Looking at his defeated subordinates, the black tiger let out a burst of unwilling tiger roars.
Seeing that the leader was captured, the members of the Black Tiger Bandit Group threw away their weapons, hung their heads, and announced their surrender.
The battle of the valley was a great victory, with sixty robbers killed and thirty seriously wounded. Only twenty of the guards were seriously wounded, forty were slightly wounded, and none of them died. This is thanks to the tacit cooperation and perseverance of the guards, as well as the excellent equipment. Of course, it also has a lot to do with Albert and others who fought bravely. The more than 100 robbers who survived were captured into grasshoppers on a rope, an arm-thick iron chain to be exact, and the rope was useless to the warriors.
"Damn traitor. Boris yelled and kicked at Quint.
Barriet and Ichiona looked at each other and smiled, it seems that in the battle just now, Boris was beaten badly by Quint.
Under Yarman's command, the guards performed their duties, and everything went in an orderly manner. Experienced veterans guard the captives, trustworthy masters guard the cargo, and weaker recruits bandage the wounds of the wounded.
"Want to talk?" Albert took the Black Tiger King to a no-man's corner.
