【Chapter 24】Poisoned Blow

In the middle of the night, the city was still full of fire and smoke, Tiara led the soldiers to search and rescue one wounded person after another, under her command, the soldiers found a relatively clean street, as much as possible to find some usable debris around, and set up simple beds to accommodate those injured people.

Although Yanna and a few attentive soldiers are trying their best to treat their wounds, this messy and busy temporary rescue site is still echoing with terrible screams and cries, they are in pain because of the continuous bleeding of their wounds, or they feel grief because of the loss of their family, this kind of scene makes Yanna's heart tremble all the time, but she is still trying her best to calm the panic in her heart, comfort the people around her in pain, and at the same time carefully deal with their wounds, when the loss of their home and the death of their loved ones, Yanna's concern and comfort do not solve the problem, but it brings them a kind of strength, the power to survive......

Tiara has been directing the soldiers to divide in small teams to quickly search and rescue those who have not yet received any rescue, and at the same time, she herself has a few soldiers, who will go wherever they hear the cries for help, and even be the first to rush into the rubble to move the debris that weighs on the wounded. Of course, all this was really seen by the soldiers, although Tiara was usually more impulsive and ruthless, but she took that life seriously, which made her an excellent general in the eyes of the soldiers.

With the passage of time, it is dawn at this time, and the dawn before dawn always blooms the first light unreservedly, to remind people of the arrival of a new day, but when the grayer light shines down, there is no trace of life, more is just desolation, and more is miserable.

Outside the walls of Silver Spirit City, corpses were scattered on the ground covered with blood and dust, their faces had already turned cold, but their expressions still retained the fear and anger before they died, or the expression they had when they recalled their own lives. And the blood-stained weapon, either scattered on the ground or stuck in the corpse, glowed with patches of white and cold light under the light of the dawn.

The breeze gusted, carrying the fallen leaves, swept across the messy battlefield, as if doing his best to dissipate the diffuse smell of blood, and the successive patches of blood, after being devoured by the hunger and thirst of the land, had long since dried up, leaving only the thin and scarlet pattern. Naturally, they have always hated war, but the war has never stopped, they are powerless to prevent all this release, and people are more helpless and remorseful in their hearts.

The gray sky gradually became clear about everything around them, and around the Silver Spirit City, there were still foggy mountains and those vague jungles in the distance, but in the distance, a whole group of black-armored starry night knights, stepping on a neat phalanx, walked step by step on the road to the Silver Spirit City, and the dense forests on the left and right sides appeared a trembling surge as the birds left in horror......

Enchanting pressed the rose sword at her waist with one hand, which was as dark as black smoke, and walked at the front of the Starry Night Knight's phalanx, her face was still cold, but it was a cold beauty. The fair and pretty face, as if it is always hanging on that layer, makes people feel cold frost, a neat short hair, under the breeze, gently swaying, a black beautiful light armor, it makes people feel that kind of majestic and serious heroic posture.

Meanwhile, a young man walked side by side with her. He was dressed in a normal brown tunic with improvised armor made of leather, which was only tied to some of his important joints. The only thing that made him look different was the dozens of daggers on his belt, a pair of dark brown cowhide boots, and several handles of daggers tied to his calves. His gloomy face, and the corners of his mouth that have always been slightly upturned, make people feel that the person who is coming is not good at a glance.

When they came to a long distance away from Silver Spirit City, Enchanting stopped, stretched out her palm, and held it high. At this time, not only did the Starry Night Knight phalanx behind her stop, but the dense jungle around her also stopped surging. The young man, bowing his body slightly, looked sideways at the bewitching man beside him, with a hint of malice on his face, "Beautiful lord, if we attack now, I don't think any of these enemies can escape." ”

Hearing his words, the enchanting still looked intently at the Silver Spirit City in the distance, her cold and beautiful eyes, exuding a sharp gaze from time to time, "Mercenary, are you sure that your companions will annihilate Nivandon?" "My lord, at least we can annihilate Izzy, it's enough for now, do you want to wait until those enemies wake up from sleep?" The young man's voice was gentle and deep, as if he was respectful, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"You must know that the reason why we fought with Bazel this time is to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, and if we fail, the war will continue to burn, and the war will continue endlessly......" "My lord, what are you worried about?" The young man still maintained a crooked posture, and asked humbly and politely, but the evil smile on his face ruined his polite image.

"At present, there are only less than five hundred troops in the city, and your current mercenary force has nearly eight hundred. But I don't believe in your strength, at least for now, you allowed Nivendon to break through the siege in the previous battle......" Before the enchanting finished, the young man snorted softly, "So what?".

"So I feel like you should prove it to me once. "Prove what?" "Prove that you have the strength to fight with me, or I will change your Bazel-sama's strategic course, and now is an excellent opportunity for you to prove it." The young man knew what the enchanting wanted to do on her own, she wanted to let herself lead the troops and fight alone, so that the Starry Night Knights could enjoy the victory unscathed, and the corners of his mouth curled up even more disdainfully when he thought of this.

"We've discussed it before, this is a joint operation, and the previous battle, if it weren't for the woman possessed by the gods, Nivedon wouldn't have been able to break through, so at this point, you have deceived us, at least you didn't tell this important information......"

Before the young man finished speaking, Enchanting suddenly felt a burst of impatience, she shook the rose sword at her waist and said, "Don't negotiate terms with me, you have accepted this task, so it must be completed, and the reward that Your Highness promised to give you will ultimately fall into your hands, not me." ”

"What if I fail?" "You are a scorpion, you have your own way to ......" On the continent of Sapro, there are hundreds of relatively large mercenary organizations, and there is only one person in these mercenary organizations, who can unite all the organizations through the mercenary council, and this person is Bazel, who is known as the mercenary king, when Bazel united all the mercenaries accepted the commission of the black prince, he naturally became the leader of this war, and as his outstanding subordinate, the scorpion also became the commander of this battle.

Although there are now as many as eight hundred mercenaries in the Silver Spirit City War Zone, there are also more than a dozen organizations large and small, and they are united at this time only because of Bazel's order. The mercenaries fought for their own interests, and at this time, if they charged in front as cannon fodder, no one would be willing, which was also the helplessness of the scorpion.

"Enchanting Lord, we ask you to be the main force, and I promise that these mercenaries will fully cooperate with you. This is an opportunity, if Izzy once ......" Without waiting for the scorpion to finish speaking, the enchanting turned around and looked at him seriously, a pair of cold eyes made him feel the cold to the bone, "You are just an ordinary mercenary, and you have no right to negotiate terms with me." If you refuse to carry out my orders, then I will hunt you all down before I go into the city myself and slay those enemies. ”

"This ......" looked at the resoluteness of the bewitching attitude, and the scorpion couldn't say anything for a while. Seeing his embarrassed look, his bewitching tone softened, and he said silently, "Scorpion, I just want you to be the vanguard, and I promise that I will provide strong support soon after your battle." Don't you want to prove yourselves once, or don't you want to conquer the Silver Spirit City, which is the greatest merit and fame?"

Hearing the enchanting words, the poisonous scorpion closed its eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded silently in agreement. He didn't agree to the so-called fame of the bewitching, he was just helpless and resolute that he had to do what she commanded. When the Black Prince and Bazel negotiated, they made an agreement that the Starry Night Knight would be solely responsible for this joint operation, and the Black Prince, as the client, had the right to regulate the combat attitude of the mercenaries. At this time, if the scorpion resolutely refuses to carry out the order, the enchanting may really use this to regulate these mercenaries, and these norms are not simple advice, it is a fatal punishment.

In the agreement, the black prince promised to give a huge amount of reward, and at the same time there was a most tempting condition, that is, the mercenaries will be recognized by the kingdom from now on, and the recognized mercenaries will be able to accept all kinds of commissions in the kingdom, and at the same time, they will not be punished by the law for some tasks, of course, this does not include those who give malicious instructions, it only recognizes the existence of mercenaries to a certain extent, just like when killing innocents indiscriminately, the perpetrator will be punished, but the murder weapon can still be active everywhere。

These were understandable, but Bazel regarded this as extremely important, after all, the reputation of the mercenaries has not been good in the past few years, so when Bazel left the Silver Spirit City war zone, he repeatedly explained that the poisonous scorpion should obey Yu Enchantment. It was with these in mind that the scorpion reluctantly agreed to the order, which was almost like oppressing himself, and he also knew that as long as there was a battle, there would be casualties, and who wouldn't want their own people to be unharmed.

The anxious scorpion's face didn't show anything, it still had that gloomy and confident expression. He silently came to the jungle and found the mercenary troop lurking there, and when he stood in front of the troop, the lazy mercenaries stood up one after another, but there were still some scattered mercenaries, still sitting in place or leaning against the trees without care.

"Brothers, we need a chance to prove ourselves, and now our chance has come, there are only five hundred enemies in Silver Spirit City, and we have nearly twice as many people, it will be easy to annihilate them......" The poisonous scorpion said impassionedly, but before he could finish speaking, these scattered mercenaries began to talk one after another, or some people stood in place with a confused face, or some people argued with the people around them, and it seemed very chaotic for a while, as if it was a lively market, where people were in groups of three or five, talking about their respective topics.

"Brothers, at least I have won this opportunity, we will be the vanguard, the first to attack the Silver Spirit City, when the time comes, this war in the north will be written in history with us as the protagonists, and those messy bards will also praise this great mercenary war......"

"Can you guarantee victory?" "Can you guarantee that there won't be another woman possessed by the gods in the city right now?" The scorpion was interrupted again, apparently to the surprise of Kassalond.

"Brothers, I promise that there will not be another one, your so-called god-possessed woman, or the **** of the gods, and I also guarantee that this is a battle without suspense, when we attack Silver Spirit City, a certain king's **** will also send her treasure army into the city. And all I hope is that before she strikes, we can get rid of all the enemies. After countless battles, will you still be afraid of the enemy who is out of disadvantage, and will you just give up the opportunity to make a name for yourself?"

The scorpion's words suddenly made the mercenaries all stand up, their faces were filled with enthusiasm for battle at this moment, and they all rubbed their hands and checked the equipment on their bodies, "Don't nonsense, hurry up, we haven't drunk for a few days." Hearing the shout of one of the mercenaries, the people around him immediately echoed in unison.

"Okay! There is no battle plan for this battle, all of us 800 people are the main force, only one group charge is launched, and now the city gate has been destroyed, we don't have to climb the ladder and carry out a hard siege battle, this battle is only an urban battle, and it will be white-hot as soon as the war starts, and I have only one request......."

"Ask for a fart, hurry up. "Yes, scorpion, are you so worried about us?" "What are you hesitating about, did that stinky **** just agree to give you some physical and spiritual comfort later." "If that's the case, we'll all help, and we won't bring you to shame, scorpion." "yes, haha......"

The mercenaries began to talk again, and as you joked about me, they burst into laughter. At this time, the poisonous scorpion shook his head helplessly, sighed, and his gloomy face immediately became serious, "Shut up for me!" If I can have a chance with that ****, you have to fight for breath." With one request, use all your resources to slash and slay every enemy in front of you. ”

The mercenaries agreed in unison, and drew their weapons one after another, some with long swords, or some with sledgehammers, and some with some special weapons, all kinds of appearances, they couldn't tell that this was an army, more like a group of organized ruffians.

Seeing this, the poisonous scorpion sighed lightly, and after agreeing to the bewitching order, he did have a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he had to obey, so he had to say some big words and unconfirmed assurances to these mercenaries. He silently turned around, took out the two daggers on his waist, and the corners of his mouth showed the previous evil smile, looking at Silver Spirit City from afar.

"Brothers, for the glory of ......" the scorpion had just shouted, when the mercenaries around him interrupted him again, "No, it's for the wine." "Fart, you bastards are all about the money. "I'm for the money, but also for the women. "Then this battle is also for the scorpion woman ......."

Hearing the chaos behind him, the poisonous scorpion didn't pay attention to it, and shouted "For your own sake, this group of waste, rush in now!" With his raised arms, everyone suddenly held their weapons and charged towards the direction of Silver Spirit City outside the dense forest, although the formation was messy, but the momentum was very majestic, and the sound of the shouts also revealed the unusual ferocity.

With the incessant footsteps and shouts of these mercenaries, Izzy, who had been asleep for a short time, was instantly awakened, he hurriedly got up, drew his long knife, and saw the mercenaries who had killed from the dense forest from a distance. They kept killing themselves, and bursts of smoke and dust swept away with endless killing intent, wafting under their feet.

Seeing this, Izzy blinked his eyes vigorously, as if he wanted to be sure, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the wound on his calf, and in the unstoppable pain, he hurriedly put the long knife on the ground, which did not let him, who was out of balance because of the pain, fall to the ground.

He looked back and saw that his soldiers, though some of them were still busy treating the wounded or chatting with them, most of them had fallen asleep against the corner. Seeing this, he hurriedly shouted loudly, "Prepare for battle! The enemy is coming!" As he shouted, the soldiers hurriedly stood up, with a pair of hazy sleepy eyes, looking at Izzy suspiciously, and some of the soldiers who reacted quickly greeted their companions who had not woken up beside them, and for a while they were in a panic.

Tiara and Yanna also ran out of the panic, and when they saw Izzy supporting her body with a knife, Yanna quickly stepped forward to help him. Tiara, on the other hand, stood beside Izzy with a halberd and looked into the distance. The dusty patch in the distance, and the shocking shouts of killing, made Tiara tremble, as if she had suddenly transformed herself into a fighting state, "What now?"

"You can protect Yanna, I'll go to the ......," Izzy said as he picked up his knife and was about to walk up, but his limping made Yanna hug him tightly. At this time, Tiara waved her arm and blocked his chest, "You protect her, this time, I will ......". (To be continued.) )
