When the thieves heard the leader's orders, they became more fanatical, and the rain of arrows became more intense.

Where have the thieves experienced such a comfortable thing, in the past, the thieves were chased by the knights of the cathars, but now they can condescendingly besiege the human soldiers, it is simply too enjoyable!

At the same time, the soldiers trapped in the mountain stream below were really miserable, the soldiers who wanted to fight were suppressed by the dense rain of arrows and falling rocks, and the soldiers who wanted to run were blocked by their comrades and stones.

The scene below was very chaotic for a while, and the non-commissioned officers who were supposed to command the soldiers to retreat in time were also panicked, and most of the non-commissioned officers couldn't take care of so many subordinates, and they rode the war horses under their seats to evacuate from here as soon as possible.

But the relentless rain of arrows and stones made them a brand new corpse stuck in the way of retreat.

The soldiers in the second half who had been cut off by the orcs finally reacted at this time, especially Baron Albert, who immediately became furious when he saw his soldiers being drowned in stones.

But because the attack was too fierce at the front, the baron did not dare to rush to the front to rescue his loyal soldiers.

"Sure enough, this kind of thing happened!" Sister Marlene said with a heavy frown, looking at the soldiers in the distance.

Russell rode his horse to a high place to watch the battle in the mountain stream, where it became even more chaotic, everywhere there were people crying and screaming and flying dust, Russell looked at it for a long time and still could not confirm the specific situation on the battlefield.

Countless surviving non-commissioned officers took the opportunity to run back to the baron, who was the commander, and wanted the baron to give the order for a counterattack.

However, the baron was already at a loss, where could he still make the right choice, he could only dance and blindly command, which made the group of non-commissioned officers very confused, and they didn't know whether they should obey the baron's orders.

Sister Marlene saw Russell rushing back to the team, and asked eagerly, "Your Excellency Russell, what do you see?"

Russell shook his head, "The scene ahead is too chaotic for me to find out what is going on. ”

Sister Marlene pondered for a moment and persuaded: "Your Excellency Russell, my faith is enough to use a large-scale reconnaissance magic technique, please let me help you together!"

Russell couldn't help but hesitate: "But Sister Marlene, your body is already very weak, if you continue to use magic skills, it may have a very serious impact on your body!"

Sister Marlene shook her head and said with a smile, "My body can be restored, but saving the soldiers who are dying is the most important thing for us!"

Seeing this, Russell no longer persuaded Sister Marlene, who immediately closed her eyes and clasped her hands on her chest to perform the Detective Magic.

Russell noticed that Sister Marlene's body was trembling slightly, and it seemed that her situation was not as good as she had said.

After a few dozen seconds, Sister Marlene opened her eyes and said weakly to Russell: "The enemy is all gathered on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream, and their number is about a few hundred, but because they are divided into two sides, their combat strength has also been reduced a lot. ”

Russell carefully considered the information described by Sister Marlene, and it was a very good thing to know the ambush location of the thieves, such a small number of thieves were definitely no match for the baron's army on the frontal battlefield.

But how to confirm the location of the leader of the thieves is still a complicated problem, Russell looked at the dense rain of arrows that were faintly visible in front of him, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Russell hurriedly rode his horse back to the high place where he had just reconnoitred the situation, and Russell took a closer look, and sure enough, he confirmed the location of the leader of the orc thieves.

Russell immediately rushed back to the ranks of the church and said to them, "At this moment, the leader of the thieves is on the mountain stream in the east, and a few of us immediately set off to eliminate the leader of the thieves!"

Sister Marlene wondered, "Your Excellency Russell, although I do not doubt the authenticity of your words, how did you confirm the position of the leader?"

Russell pointed to the arrows that were about to stop in the distance and said, "There should be only one leader of the bandits, so there must be a delay in his order, so I only need to observe which side of the mountain stream releases a rain of arrows first, and I can confirm the location of the leader of the bandits!"

The people in the team heard Russell's analysis and couldn't help but deeply admire Russell's wisdom.

Russell looked at several mercenaries who were ready to attack and said, "I know that you are all battle-hardened warriors, and now that the thieves' attention is focused on the human soldiers in front of them, they should not pay attention to the road behind them.

That's what gave us the opportunity to sneak up on the leader of the bandits!So I decided to kill the leader of the bandits at once, would you like to come with me?"

The mercenaries looked at each other for a moment, then nodded firmly.

The masked man in the mercenary team rode out on horseback and said, "I believe in Sister Marlene's trust in you!"

Russell nodded slightly at them, and everything was silent.

Before setting out, Russell stopped Sister Marlene, who wanted to attack with them, because he had more important things for Sister Marlene to help him do.

"Sister Marlene, I need you to persuade Baron Albert to block the retreat of most of the thieves, and to support our return, our small team is barely able to sneak up on and kill the leader of the thieves, if we are surrounded by hundreds of thieves, we probably won't be able to come back!"

Sister Marlene immediately agreed, knowing that Russell's plan was very dangerous and that what was needed to be done now was very important.

Immediately, Russell led several powerful mercenaries on horseback to the eastern mountain stream, and Sister Marlene hurried to the Baron's side without looking back, and she needed to persuade the Baron to help the Church team in order to win.

Russell and the mercenaries discarded their superfluous belongings and advanced lightly to the bottom of the mountain stream, where the thieves had ambushed the Baron's army, and they could even faintly hear the voice of someone commanding from above.

In order to hide their tracks, Russell and his men simply led their horses to the surrounding trees, and they climbed on foot to the top of the mountain stream.

At this time, the leader of the lion men above also noticed that something was wrong, except for the soldiers who were attacked in the first half were still fleeing, and the remaining soldiers in the second half suddenly stopped panicking, but gradually gathered together, as if they were preparing to launch a counterattack on their own side.

The lionman couldn't help but mutter, "It's strange, wasn't the commander of the human army killed by my men?

The lionman was just about to command the thieves to launch the next round of attacks against the human army, when suddenly the sound of arrows bursting through the air was heard from behind.

With years of experience as a mercenary, the lionman forcibly twisted his body and avoided the arrows that attacked him.

Suddenly, a tingling pain came, and a specially made arrow wagged and plunged into his shoulder.

The lionman turned to cover the wound on his shoulder, and felt a wave of happiness in his heart, it seemed that the arrow was aimed at his heart at the beginning, and the lionman's instinctive reaction successfully saved his life.

It was only then that the lionman noticed the human who had attacked him, a team of less than ten people, and one of them was a human woman who was looking at him with a blowpipe.

It seemed that this human had attacked him, and the lionman laughed angrily.

The lion man endured the severe pain and broke the arrow on his shoulder, pointed at the human in front of him and said, "You are only a small team of a few people, dare to come and attack me? I will take off your skin and use it as my seat!"

With that, the lion man waved his finger and commanded his subordinates beside him and said, "Break them into ten thousand pieces, and those who kill the enemy will be rewarded!"

The thieves saw that there were only a few humans who came up, and in their eyes, these humans immediately turned into piles of golden coins, and they couldn't suppress the greed in their hearts, shouting and picking up the weapons in their hands to attack Russell and the others.

The mercenaries around Russell were not flustered at all, they knew that the terrain above the mountain stream was narrow, and they could not allow a few thieves to pass at all.

Therefore, in their eyes, although the thieves are menacing, in fact, they only have to face a few thieves at the same time.

The mercenaries, who were calm and calm, immediately took out their weapons, and the mercenaries usually equipped with relatively short weapons in order to facilitate their own hand-to-hand combat.

And the spears and other weapons held by the thieves are very obstructive here, and they may even poke their comrades.

The mercenaries immediately bullied themselves, and a group of people killed the thieves on the opposite side as if they had entered a no-man's land, and the thieves who were blocking in front of Russell and the lion leader were swept away in an instant.

"Now it's just the two of us going head-to-head!" the lionman stared at Russell with a mocking smile as he removed his greataxe from his back.

"Of course, I don't think you're my enemy. ”

Russell also slowly pulled out his newly purchased long sword, the Legacy of Yingjie, and said in a calm tone.

When the leader of the lionmen saw Russell pull out a rusty and worn long sword, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Your allegiance lord is so stingy!I actually asked you to take out a rusty long sword to fight me, don't worry, after you are killed by me, I will take out a fine sword to honor you!"

Russell didn't explain much, and it seemed that the lion-headed thief leader seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.

But Russell doesn't explain much about the dying man, so let's use his head to see if the sword is sharp!

Russell took a step forward and raised his sword above his head at the same time, slashing it down.

The lionman leader did not despise Russell's attack as he said, and he raised the giant axe in his hand to immediately block Russell's slash.

But he was forcibly repelled a few steps by Russell's attack, and the lionman glanced at the huge gap in his hand where the giant axe was cut by the long sword, and put away the contempt for Russell in his heart.

The corners of the lion's mouth rose, and he said in surprise: "I didn't expect you, a short human being, to have such extraordinary strength, it seems that I need to take you seriously, suffer death, I will let you see my true strength!"

Before he could finish speaking, the lion man suddenly took out a dagger, directly ripped off a piece of flesh on his chest, and under Russell's surprised gaze, he took out the purple stone on his body and put it into his wound.

Russell looked at this purple stone with some familiarity, but before he could observe anything, he was shocked to find that the purple stone had magically fused with the lionman's body!

At this time, the body of the lion man became stronger at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and his muscles became very hard, and even the soil on the ground was sunken by his body.

The lion leader sneered, looked at Russell and said, "Since you took the initiative to come to me to die, then don't blame me for tearing you in half!"

Then the lion man immediately disappeared in place, and in an instant, he came to Russell's eyes, and a fist as big as Russell's head attacked Russell's face, but Russell was shocked to find that his reaction speed could not keep up with the speed of the lionman's attack!
