Chapter 59: The Thieves Attack
Power has always been against the bottom, not at the top.
Leaving the team without permission is a violation of the mercenary code, and it will leave a stain on the credibility of the major mercenary associations, Ivo will not break the contract for the convenience of the road, and he can go to the fireplace castle in the future, so he is not in a hurry.
On this day, the nineteenth day of leaving the royal capital, the caravan was traveling on a narrow mountain road, and the wagons were driving close to the mountain wall, so that the wheels on the other side could barely be vacated, and the gravel kept falling off the cliff, and the echo faded.
The long journey made the mood of all the mercenaries not very beautiful, the atmosphere was dull, and the vigilance was relaxed.
Bliss suddenly reined in her horse and gestured to stop the team, because the mercenaries who had gone to explore the path had not returned for a long time.
An old mercenary said, "Ahead is the corner of the mountain road, and there may be a group of thieves in ambush." ”
Blis's heart suddenly hung in the air, "Everyone, be on guard!"
The mercenaries drew their swords, scimitars, battle axes, and shields, and the caravan was divided into three teams, the front, middle and back, and here was a narrow mountain road, and the two sides would not be attacked, and the squadron stepped on the truck and slowly moved to the front team, and most of the mercenaries were crowded in front.
The mountain wind was howling, and the road ahead was still silent.
Bliss was a little anxious, the caravan could not waste time on the mountain road, and the consequences of an attack after dark were completely different from that of daytime, it was ten deaths.
Leon said decisively: "The enemy wants to delay until the night, and we will encounter an ambush if we rush forward, Cicero, go and reconnoitre!"
A grim young man from the Royal Academy bounced up, turning into a jumping black shadow and quickly turning the corner.
Bliss asked suspiciously, "He's okay alone." ”
Misha snorted: "Cicero is the number one master of the Assassin Department of the Royal Academy, and he is recognized as the 'Shadow' of the Academy, don't confuse those low-level mercenaries with him." ”
After waiting for a while, Cicero suddenly rushed out from the corner and shouted: "Found an ambush, has been alarmed, ready to fight!"
He was followed by a large group of thieves, at least hundreds, embroidered with blood-red scorpions on the plackets, and Calilban wielding a scimitar in front of him.
Calilban was a little annoyed, they had been hiding in the cave of the mountain wall hidden by the clouds, but they were discovered by Cicero, and he could only attack, he shouted loudly: "Kill them all!"
Misha's eyes lit up: "Blood Scorpion Thieves! Your bounty is mine!"
The mercenaries and the thieves fought together, roaring and screaming, the cold light of the blades flashed everywhere, the figures fell one after another, and many people were knocked off the cliff, and the blood stained the red mountain road, and there was chaos.
The mountain road is narrow, and the caravan's numerical advantage is difficult to play, and those who are squeezed behind can only shout and hurry.
Lady Bliss remained calm, "I hope you from the Royal Academy can help. ”
Leon nodded, and the royal cadets squeezed out of the way and rushed into the battlefield.
Rayon's knight's sword was wrapped in a "heavy" holy light, constantly cutting through the weapons of the thieves, kicking the thieves off the cliff, and Misha used a leather whip, which writhed like a fiery snake under the blessing of the "scorching" holy light.
Kalilban roared angrily and personally joined the battlefield, the strength of the strong is not comparable to the miscellaneous soldiers, he instantly regained the upper hand, and the mountain wall was constantly shaken out by the aftermath, roaring.
I said...... Is it really okay for us to just look at it like this?" Ander asked weakly.
The battle was in full swing ahead, but at the last position of the caravan, the Hurricane cadets looked bored, sitting on the ground watching the battle from afar, eating, drinking, chatting and farting by the way.
Ivo chewed on the dew bubble grass and the betel nut, spat out the white smoke, and rolled his eyes: "If you want to kill the matchless, I will support you with both hands and feet." ”
It's not that you don't want to fight, but ...... The trucks occupied the mountain road, and it was laborious to approach the battlefield, and there was no way, who told them to be arranged to go to the back of the palace.
The back of the palace is a very character thing, when the front row can't stand it, they can be the first to escape, but if they encounter the little daisy of the enemy who attacks the team first, then it will be GG, and the back row of the team battle is generally kneeling.
Hades looked at the back of Bliss in the distance, took two steps forward, thought about it, and stepped back,
"Although I don't like the Royal Academy, but with them on top, it should be none of our business. Ivo spread his hands.
Ender worried: "The target of the thieves is property, if I were them, I would send another team of elites to attack the rear, flanking on both sides, and constantly encroaching on the caravan." ”
As soon as the words fell, a large number of footsteps came from the mountain road behind, and hundreds of blood scorpion thieves roared and rushed towards them, this group of thieves were all strong and strong, and they were all elite thieves.
The Hurricane cadets raised their weapons in a panic and hurriedly caught up.
Ivo pulled out his Skinned Iron Shield and Harrican's Hammer, his face aching, "Ender, don't speak again from now on. ”
As soon as they fought, Ivo felt a huge pressure, with knife light in front and back, left and right, and his shield would be hit more than three times a second, concussive, and his arm was sore.
The hammer slashed and knocked over many thieves, but in the chaos of the battlefield, he could not make up for the follow-up attacks, and only wounded but not killed.
He spun under his feet, like a spinning top through the crowd, very nimble, his shield always blocking the cutdown scimitar at the most opportune moment, unscathed, and the warhammer occasionally smashed into the knees of the elite thieves, shattering the kneecaps.
After the cultivation of the memory battlefield, he adjusted his fighting style, his specialty is strength, and after fusing the agility of the spinning step, his combat effectiveness has greatly increased.
The most obvious is that there are significantly fewer injuries, which is also what Ivo has taken into account Nafi's feelings.
The hammer wind was whistling, and the elite thieves around them all felt that Ivo was a hard stubble, so they avoided it one after another, giving priority to dealing with the hurricane trainees of the lower level, and the team was immediately seriously damaged, and many of the students fell to the ground covered in blood and wailed, losing their combat effectiveness.
The Hurricane trainees lacked practical experience, and after being attacked, they were in a hurry, and they were broken up by the thieves at once.
"No, it's so weak!" Ivo finally got an intuitive idea of the weakness of the Hurricane Cadets.
His teammates were too weak, and Ivo was instantly surrounded by a heavy siege, and the pressure increased suddenly.
At this time, a furious sword aura swept away several thieves around Ivo, Barlow swung his sword and slashed, the sword qi was like a tide, and Ender rushed in, two shields protected Ivo's back, and the scimitar slashed on it to make a spark.
The trio broke out of the encirclement in a zigzag, and Hades roamed the side with a dagger in his hand, quickly taking the lives of the pursuing thieves like a panther raid.
"Lao Tzu is powerful...... Ivo gasped as he crippled sixteen elite thieves in the melee, "But for the time being, you can't ask me to hit a hundred." ”
Among the hurricane cadets, only Ivo and the four could still hold on, and Ocott, who was the second in the swordsman department, had been severely injured and unconscious after an axe was slashed in the chest.
The leader of the team, David, had a solemn face, grabbed the bent handle of the cane, drew the thin sword in the cane, made a noble fencing posture, stopped in front of all the students, and the sword was like a toad popping out its tongue, and the seven thieves were stabbed in the throat in the blink of an eye, and the corpses rolled off the cliff.
The attack came suddenly, and it only took three minutes for the Hurricane Cadets to retreat from the battle to the defeat, and Billis found out about the sneak attack, and said angrily: "It's really useless, you can't even delay the time." ”
Bliss quickly dispatched a part of the mercenaries to support the rear, the battle line was a little long, and the trucks were also an obstacle, and it would take at least a few minutes to reach the battlefield.
Bell, scimitar slashed at the knight's sword, Leon was repelled a few steps by Kalilban, frowned and glanced back, "Misha, Cicero, you go to support the rear team." ”
"Hmph. Misha and Cicero knew that the situation was critical, and immediately left the battlefield and rushed to the rear.
......
The elite thieves were repelled twice by Sir David, and many of the uncomatose Hurricane cadets cheered that they would survive if Mentor David could support the arrival of reinforcements.
After the failure of the third charge, the elite thieves seemed to give up and suddenly retreated, vacating fifty meters of mountain road.
"Has the enemy retreated?"
"They were repelled by Mentor David, which is great!"
"We are saved!"
The hurricane cadets shouted excitedly.
At this moment, a black-robed wizard appeared in the camp of the elite thieves, with a small purple octopus wrapped around his shoulder, and he threw out a large number of strange spell casting materials, chanting in a screaming voice that was extremely piercing.
This black-robed wizard is the deputy head of the Blood Scorpion, Nussen.
Davy sensed that something was wrong, and charged with his sword, trying to stop the wizard from casting a spell, but when he was halfway through, the mountain wall next to him suddenly burst into a dazzling fire and exploded.
The flames were like the huge jaws of wild beasts, and David's figure was swallowed in an instant, and David, who was wrapped in flames by the debris stream, rushed off the cliff without a trace.
The hurricane cadets were in chaos, as if they had fallen from heaven to hell.
"Oh my God!
The elite thieves have placed several alchemy bombs on the mountain wall, a trap to lure Davy.
Alchemy is deeply related to magic and forging, and the application of alchemy is very wide, and explosive bombs are the most common product...... After all, any failed alchemical experiment can create a bomb.
