Chapter III: Containment

The mercenaries swallowed, not daring to speak, nor daring to look at Chris, but they raised their weapons and met the figure that burst out of the woods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chris squinted and calculated, "One, two, three... Nine, the pen is not small. ”

The remaining nine killers were all warriors, and even at night, they could see the cold light flashing from the long swords in their hands, Orbis let out a loud shout, and met the warriors in front, and with a "bell" sound, the two swords slammed together, and then the sound of the rest of the mercenaries and the opponent's weapons also continued to sound.

Orbis's body was knocked back a few steps, and his heart couldn't help sinking, sure enough, the opponent's level was above him, he gritted his teeth, and slashed at the opponent with another sword, the opponent's face was gloomy, and he slightly turned his body to the side, and at the same time raised the big sword, and the yellow fighting spirit on his body flashed.

Orbis was shocked, this was the gesture of the "Great Earthquake Strike", he wanted to retreat, but he couldn't retract the sword momentum in his hand, and he couldn't help but scream, but when he saw the opponent's body suddenly pause, his movements became hesitant.

What happened to him?

Orbis didn't dare to think about it, one more slow step was his own death, the next sword had missed, and then he rolled to the ground, and when he turned around, a sword swept away, and the "bell" slashed at the opponent's leg, sweeping it to the ground.

What a sturdy armor!

The envy in his heart was only for a moment, but the sword in Orbis's hand did not dare to stop, and aimed at the opponent who was still struggling on the ground with a "slash", chopping off his head in an instant.

The inexplicable victory made Orbis suspicious, but it was not the time to be surprised, and after a pause, he turned and rushed towards another warrior.

The slowness of the enemy's movements made the mercenaries quickly put aside their fears, and when the clever ones found this, they did not fight their opponents at all, but kept fighting around their opponents, seeing the right time to step forward with their swords.

Chris watched the battlefield with satisfaction, and even the only thief among the mercenaries pricked up an enemy.

Another mercenary archer hides in the distance, firing arrows at the enemy. The weapon he used was not a bow and arrow, but a crossbow that gradually eliminated the archer profession, mainly composed of crossbow arms, crossbow bows, The bowstring and crossbow machine are composed of parts, the bow body is cross, the effective range is between fifty and seventy meters, and the longest range is several times more, it shoots farther than the bow and arrow, and the lethality is also stronger, and overcomes the weakness of the physical strength when drawing the bow and cannot last, and the crossbow bow in the previous life is different in that it does not have a foot tread hole for winding, because the archers themselves are strong enough to support them to wind the crossbow arrows with the strength of their arms.

At this time, every time the crossbow in his hand rang out, he could almost hear the screams of the enemy.

The crossbow he now holds is mainly made of wood, and if it is a military crossbow uniformly configured by the military, the bow arm and bow body are all made of metal, and its lethality is even more terrifying.

If it weren't for the fact that it takes a lot of time to wind, this murderous weapon would be perfect.

The battle was held back by Chris's magic, and in a very short period of time, it showed a tendency to be one-sided.

The last killer was killed when he was hit from behind by a lightning ball as he turned to escape.

Several mercenaries were wounded, and one of the warrior mercenaries had his leg almost severed by a diagonal sword, and was sitting on the ground while another was bandaging his wounds. Orbis, the captain of the mercenary team, rushed the most ferociously, and there was also a wound on his shoulder, which was slashed by another enemy when he was fighting with an enemy, and if he hadn't paid attention in time and dodged it, this wound would have been a few points heavier, and his shoulder chain mail was still split by a sword.

Chris looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed in his heart, if the enemy also had a magician, his own casualties would be inevitable.

The mercenaries cleaned up the battlefield, and Chriss, who returned to the carriage for a short rest, ordered to leave overnight.

The mercenaries did not object, because no one was sure that there would be another wave of killers.

The killers' weapons and costumes did not have any identical ornaments or words, but the mercenaries were overjoyed by the sophisticated armor and weapons.

In addition, the horses left there were found in the woods, and with a wave of his hand without care, the mercenaries accepted them happily.

This mission has been earned!

This is the voice of all the mercenaries.

As a result, they became more and more respectful to Chris, and of course, it cannot be denied that the methods of this young magician's lordship against the enemy also made them fearful in the bottom of their hearts.

Especially when the opponent who was obviously higher than him was defeated by his own men during the battle, the mercenaries also knew that it was because of the mage's side.

If it weren't for him, it would have been his own side that died.

It wasn't until the next morning that everyone stopped in a wood.

After a hasty breakfast, everyone lay down on the ground, and soon snoring sounded.

It was not until the afternoon that everyone woke up, and the wound of the mercenary wound on the leg had deteriorated, and they found a stream in the woods and carefully washed it with water.

Chris simply announced that he would continue to rest, and in the evening he hurried all night away, to the unanimous cheers of the crowd.

Sufficient rest lifted everyone's spirits, and the mercenary's wound also healed, of course, if it weren't for the mercenaries' strong physique, such a day of rushing and fighting, Rao is iron man would also have a trace of fatigue.

On the third day, Chris could already faintly recognize that he should have stepped into the Kibb area, albeit only on the periphery.

He looked at the mercenaries beside the carriage, and the excitement of the days after leaving the battle, even if they were on the road for several days, could not hide the excitement that they were about to complete their mission, and by this time they had changed into the fine armor that had been stripped from the enemy's body, Chris did not know the value of this armor, but Orbis knew it.

Mercenaries in the south, the tasks that can be taken at ordinary times are nothing more than sending letters, finding people, and protecting, needless to say, the highest reward is the task of protecting the caravan, but according to the value of the goods transported and the number of days of protection, the maximum reward is ten gold coins, in addition to the use of food on the way, the treatment of injuries, the wear and tear of weapons and equipment, and maintenance, if there are wives and children at home, then they can't even stop after completing the task, and they must immediately take on the next task to maintain the normal expenses of the family.

And the set of chain mail that Orbis wore before, which he bought with gritted teeth before he got married, was exactly ten gold coins, and he couldn't replace it with a set of broken clothes in many places over the years.

And the armor he is wearing now is not only more sophisticated, it gives the warrior more all-round body protection, if he wears such a set of armor during the battle that night, his shoulders will not even be injured.

Then there is the weapon, this two-handed sword is sharper, of course, it is also heavier, after a few days of familiarity, Orbis quickly fell in love with this two-handed sword, after all, he used the weapon of a third-level warrior before, and he could not fully withstand the explosion of his fighting spirit as a fifth-level warrior.

These two things, Orbis roughly estimated, should be worth about forty gold coins.
