The earth was trembling, sand and gravel were falling overhead, and Albert was running forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow with the hem of his robe in one hand and the wall in the other. There were some black blood stains on his forehead, which he had swallowed during the previous run, but fortunately, Albert himself had some simple healing magic, and the wound had already scabbed over by this time.

Albert's heart was almost collapsed at this time, although he didn't see the actual situation, but from such a big movement when the other party attacked, it could be judged that this was by no means a rabble, and it was even very likely that it was the heavy army of the empire. To be honest, from the time he started to do it to the nearby villages, Albert had a premonition about today's fate, but he still couldn't avoid panic when it came to the end, fortunately, he had already made arrangements before, and hoped that Edwin could do everything he had arranged.

At almost the same time that Albert returned to the village, the defense at the entrance of the cave collapsed, and the combat effectiveness of the Babia mercenary group, which was heavily armed and armor even higher than that of the Imperial Heavy Legion, was far from being able to withstand the bandits, not to mention that the soldiers of the mercenary group were all vindictive, although not strong.

There is an absolute gap in strength, spiritually speaking, although the air thieves have enough dedication, for the sake of the family behind them, they have put life and death aside, but the Babia mercenary group is also full of spirit and high morale, even if the air thieves have an advantage, they are limited. Although the desperate counterattack made the phalanx of the 8th Squadron take a few steps back, it was quickly pushed back and out of control.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The main force of the air thieves who had just rushed back to the mouth of the cave could still throw themselves into the resistance with great momentum, and after being inspired by Edwin, they were able to burst out with more fanatical enthusiasm for fighting, but when they faced a group of enemies who did not fluctuate, these methods were broken one after another, and the battle line quickly collapsed. Although Edwin, the second in charge, was still raising his arms and shouting, although he and his guards were still fighting on the front line, the main force of the air thieves still collapsed, if it weren't for the guards who saw the opportunity and immediately retreated, Edwin would have folded inside.

"Edwin, it's okay!"

As soon as he turned around, it was really the eldest brother, Edwin wiped the blood on his face, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's, showing an expression of self-reproach, "Big brother, I'm sorry, the entrance to the cave was lost, and the brothers outside the cave couldn't be saved, and many brothers were damaged." ”

"No need to apologize, you've done a great job. Albert patted Edwin on the shoulder, and by the way, he cast a healing spell, and the wound on the shoulder that was deep in the bone healed quickly, "Which part of the other party is, have you figured it out?"

“...... Sorry, big brother. Edwin lowered his head even more embarrassedly, "The other party didn't respond to our question at all, I really can't figure it out, but looking at their equipment, it's no worse than the heavy regiments of the Imperial Army." ”

Trouble.

The village in this cave is a fortress-like structure carefully designed by Albert, with the terrain advantage, and a group of brave and warlike air thief brothers, Albert is confident that he can defeat an ordinary imperial infantry legion, but if it is a heavy army, it will be troublesome, and the strong head-on confrontation advantage is enough to offset the terrain advantage of the air thief. In other words, there is really only one option left for Albert now, and that is to retreat.

Thinking of this, Albert no longer hesitated, and stared at Edwin with a serious face: "It's impossible to win, you're going to run away!

"It's all done, everything that can be used in the village is packed up and stuffed into the airship, and I tricked the team that came to spy on our master to get the captives to move everything. ”

"Very good, now you take someone to escort our family, immediately rush to the airport to board the ship, leave immediately after getting on the boat, don't wait for me, go immediately!"

"Eh~" Edwin habitually responded, turned his head and left, and after walking two steps, his brain suddenly turned around and ran back: "Big brother, let's go, what should you do if you stay here?"

"Don't worry, I'll take my brothers to drag the Imperial Army, and when you leave, we'll go to the Lord's house, there are quite a few teams from the Lord's side this time, and it doesn't look worse than the Heavy Legion of the Imperial Army. ”

"Oh~" Edwin listened, but instead of setting off immediately, he was thinking about the same place.

"Alas!~ What are you still doing in a daze, go quickly, you won't be able to stop it for long!"

"Well, that's right. Edwin clapped his fists and finally figured out one thing: "Big brother, let's go, I'll leave it to the queen here." ”

"What! Listen to me, go!"

"Big brother, you have to listen to me this time. Edwin stood up and said in a loud voice, "Guard, take Big Brother to the airport!"

"I see who dares to !!" Albert was anxious, and his tone was no longer as calm as before, but his action was interrupted by Edwin.

"Big brother, I'll be honest. I don't have a good brain, and even if I rush out with someone, I don't know what to do next. You are different, you are the smartest, you will definitely be able to find a way out for your brothers. Besides," Edwin said, scratching the back of his head, "if it weren't for you, those two boys of my family would follow me, at most like this, and maybe there would be some success with you." ”

"Moreover, the battle after this break is very difficult, big brother, you can't charge ahead, how to motivate morale, how to hold without morale. Leave it to me here, on the other hand, those two boys from my family, please leave it to the eldest brother!"

If it weren't for the battlefield, Albert almost jumped up in fright, how could his brother have such an IQ, and he couldn't move, although what Edwin said was reasonable.

Without waiting for Albert to react, Edwin waved his hand: "Let's go!!"

A group of soldiers surrounded Albert with a shocked face and rushed to the airport. When they were about to turn against the main family's troops, the village was really preparing to evacuate, and the villagers had really gone to the airport to assemble.

Seeing his big brother disappear at the end of the road, Edwin removes. The body that was still scarred just now, under the dual effect of fighting energy and magic, was almost better at this time, and the whole body was rejuvenated. Edwin held aloft a two-handed sword that he had found out of nowhere, and shouted:

"Did you hear that, brothers? We can't leave! But it doesn't matter, I, your second master, will accompany you. We will stand here until our family is gone, and there is a big boss here, and everyone's family and children can be properly accommodated. In the future, our children may become merchants, or landowners, or powerful samurai, or even great magicians. If they can or escape!"

"What's more, with the eldest brother here, their identities can be whitewashed, and they can walk in the sun and live in the city with dignity, instead of hiding in Tibet like us. The premise is that there is no husband and father who is on the Empire's wanted list like us!"

"Isn't it obvious what we can do for our dear family and children! We died to protect our home, we die without regrets, don't let me see someone who escapes, I will never let him go. Now, let's fight to our heart's content!"

"Ula!~~~"

........................

After defeating the air thieves blocking the entrance to the cave, the 8th Squadron rushed into the entrance of the village first, and then was blocked by the design of the fortified village. For the sake of training, the one at the forefront at this time has been replaced by the Ninth Squadron. However, for the air thief side, the situation has not changed, the recruits of each squadron of the Babia Mercenary Regiment are uniformly trained and standardized, and only those who pass the assessment are sent to each squadron by drawing lots, and there is no obvious difference in strength between the squadrons.

Except for poisonous snakes.

Just as Edwin led the main force of the air thieves back to the mouth of the cave to participate in the battle, a total of 5 squadrons of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, which had been staring at them for a long time, rode on the flying ship, smashed the dense trees that covered the sky from directly above, and appeared directly in the air port. Before the bandits guarding the airport could wake up from the impact of the falling rocks and giant trees, they saw five huge flying ships slowly falling, and 15 medium-sized magic cannons opened fire at one time, blowing up the few fortifications of the airport.

"Anti-...... Defend against ship-grabbing !!"

Under the terrible shouts of the little leader of the air thieves in charge of the port, the stunned defenders rushed to their respective battle positions, including the air thieves guarding the captives, all went to the battlefield, except for a group of well-equipped soldiers, who glanced at each other, and ran to the cave without even saying hello.

The surrounding air thieves did not have time to despise the usual high-spirited, wartime runaway waste, because the sudden appearance of the enemy at the airport moved much faster than expected, but important.

The five airships squeezed into the dock in a very violent way, forcibly squeezing the airships that were originally docked, and there were countless sounds of broken cables, and the hulls of the airships that were forcibly squeezed inside also continued to hear the sound of "creaking" under strong oppression. After leaning on the dock, almost every 5 meters, there is a hook and claw flying out, the flying ship and the trestle are firmly fixed, countless biao-shaped men wearing heavy armor jumped directly from the side of the ship to the trestle, 5~12 people quickly formed a combat group, and the adjacent combat groups quickly merged into a battle phalanx, without waiting for the follow-up forces to come down, the battle line was advanced to the stacking field of the airport wharf.

As soon as the follow-up forces arrived, the combat strength of the 5 squadrons was fully dispersed and began to sweep up all the air thieves on the docks. The gang of air thieves actually reacted quite well after the attack, and even pushed out the few defensive weapons in the airport, a few very primitive front-loading smoothbore guns, and fired continuously at the incoming flying ships.

Due to the short distance and the large target of the flying ship, the hit rate is still good, but the power is really touching, only a few unlucky crew members who were directly hit died, and only a few small holes were punched out on the flying ship. Subsequently, they were covered in magic cannons.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and just when the air thieves defending the airport were fighting desperately, the Viper squadron that had been hidden for a long time appeared. At the top of the cave, in the crevices of the rocks, behind stalagmites, everywhere you think or don't think of, more than a hundred of the most elite warriors jumped out, and the air thieves in charge of guarding the captives were killed without any reaction.

The airport was stable, Qin Shouzhuo took the reserve team to walk around the sky above, and flew towards the cottage again. This battle can basically be regarded as killing chickens with a knife, but Qin Shouzhuo always felt that there was some ominous premonition, and he couldn't say the specifics, so he had to be as cautious as possible.
