"Commander, what do we do now?" the knights of the guard were pressed behind a dirt bag, and the enemy was slowly approaching, and if they found the high ground again, they would be completely exposed to the enemy's field of vision.

"Which of you is the fastest?" Levi had many options, all thanks to the witch. "I can try. A knight stepped forward.

"Very good, you see the big tree on the right, you run quickly, bid the gun as you run, don't ask for precision, the speed must be fast, whether it is running or bidding the gun, after the enemy is attracted to you, the others will attack together, but," Levi added, "everyone don't show their heads, try to throw." ”

"There!" When the knight ran out, the attention of the Serpent cultists was indeed grabbed. "Let's throw it together!" As Levi shouted, the javelins of the guard knights shot out one after another, and the Snake Sect warriors fell in an instant, and then the second person ran over, the third person, and the Snake Sect soldiers fell more and more, and the gap in numbers slowly became smaller. Levi didn't expect this old-fashioned tactic to be tried and tested repeatedly.

Most of the warriors of the Serpent Cult are transformed from captured soldiers or knights, and although their combat effectiveness is good, many of them have become somewhat demented due to the drugs and snake venom that have eroded their minds, and even if the priestess or high-ranking believers who command them give orders, these warriors cannot cope with the enemy's tactics, even if they are repetitive.

"Don't worry so much, charge directly!" a priestess gave the order she thought was most reasonable and effective, "a few of us, aim with our bows." She beckoned to the other priestesses, "Poof!" A wisp of blood sprayed her face, and one of the priestesses next to her slowly collapsed clutching her chest. "The enemy and the archers!" Before the priestesses could search, another priestess was shot dead.

It was Kiel, who hid behind a large tree, and he knew that if he killed the priestess, the snake soldier would turn into a piece of loose sand, and after shooting an arrow, he would move to another place, and the target was only the priestess.

"Kill!" shouted from the altar, and three bloodied warriors rushed to the altar, "Die!" Oruba split the enemy in front of him in half with a single sword, "Good job! Oruba!" Daga and Sigmund also raised their two-handed swords, and the three of them killed the remaining Serpent warriors like a storm of death.

"Haha?? When I finally came, I knew someone would save us, and the heavens would never see me and Miss Liuyin separated!"

"Brother~ your mouth is really owed, very, very hateful," Daga cut the rope and said, "But you and Miss Liuyin are very compatible, really!"

"It's our turn this time," Sagulas picked up a moonblade axe, "I'll say no thanks, let's go and kill all those guys with forked tongues." ”

"Come on!" Oruba pulled out a javelin and threw it hard, pinning one of the Viper warriors to the ground.

The Snake cultists who were flanked before and after did not panic, and resisted methodically under the command of the priestess, perhaps this was the only benefit of warriors who lacked intelligence, and the priestesses knew very well that the Imperial army hated them to the core, and if they were captured, they would either be crucified or burned to death, and that there was unimaginable torture waiting for them before they died, and they would poison themselves with snake venom before they were captured.

The knights of the Imperial Guard, who had been suppressed, could finally raise their eyebrows, whether with javelins or hand-to-hand combat, they were definitely elite in terms of killing efficiency.

"Hiss???" With the fall of the last priestess, the battle was finally over. "What the hell is going on? Have you met any other enemies?" Levi didn't have time to greet Sacuras, and hurriedly beckoned someone to bandage the wounds of the three Daga, the three of them were covered in wounds and covered in blood, especially Oruba, there was a long wound on his chest with the muscles turned out, you can imagine what a terrible battle they had experienced.

"Any wine?" "Here you go!" Levi tossed the wine over, and Sigmund took a few sips and handed it to Daga, who took two sips and handed it to Oruba. "That's right," Oruba wiped his mouth, "just as you attacked, we found six python knights in a room, they must have been reformed and just awakened, so," Oruba shrugged, "and it's what it is." "Although Ouruba said it easily, everyone knew that the Monty Python Knight was the strongest knight of the Serpent Sect, and the injuries on the three of them proved that they won very hard.

"I'm glad we all died here, thank you, Levy. Kiel walked over, with Diev and Seth holding each other in the back. "Thank you to us. Levi and Kiel touched their arms, "I can't save my friends without your help." ”

"Okay, you're welcome, let's bury our fallen brothers. "Nine of Kiel's knights died, and Levi's men died five pirates, which is not a big casualty compared to the total annihilation of the Serpent Cult, but Levi still has a hard time accepting it for a while.

The funeral rites of the imperial people are similar to the customs of other countries, in which the blood of the deceased is cleaned, the wounds are bandaged, and the sesame oil is applied, and then some white cloth is taken from the carriage as clothes to wrap them, and then they are placed on high firewood salaries, and a dinar is placed on the eyelids. As for the followers of the snake cult, they hastily dug a pit and set it on fire.

"Rest in peace, and may your souls return to your homeland, and the glory of the empire be with you. "Kiel lit the pyre, and Lévi lit the pile of firewood containing the pirates' corpses, five people died this time, maybe more next time, and the ashes of the knights could be placed in Valhalla, Janos, while the mercenaries had to bury them everywhere. "Don't care, Levi," Daga patted him, "where there is a battle and there is sacrifice, whether it's a snake cult, a pirate, a rogue knight or a heretic, as warriors they have to face. ”

The rescued villagers are all gone, and the mercenaries have nowhere else to go, and with Claude's persuasion, they join Levy's mercenary group together.

"Levy, you and your people should take a break, Janos is a good place. Kiel wanted Levidor to get to know the empire: "I can recommend you to my father, but it's not right now, even the emperor has to take into account the opinions of the consuls and generals, and the more you are famous, the consuls and generals can accept it." ”

"Thank you Kiel, I'll try. Saying goodbye to Kiel, Lévy and his party went to the tavern, where they could fill their stomachs, hire soldiers, and find out some news.

Janos was warm and humid all year round, and wheat and grapes were abundant, but the grapes were far inferior to Isos, on the contrary, the most famous here were silk and velvet, and the nobles were proud to own the silk and velvet clothes of Janos, and Levi knew to buy some even if he didn't know how to do business.

"Hey?? Commander, can you lend the traveler a drink?" a young man walked up to Levi, "My name is Jerry, and everyone else calls me Jerry 'Long Legs'. ”

"No problem," Levi poured Jerry a large glass of wine, for mercenaries, travelers are good companions, they can bring news from afar.

"You're so generous!" Jerry took a sip from his glass, "I know there's a treasure for Ryan, but I can't take it myself, I can't deal with beasts or robbers, I can buy it for you if you need it." ”

"Treasure?" Levi was intrigued, "I want it, how much?"

"Only 200 dinars," Jerry excited, "not much at all, maybe there's nothing in it, maybe a priceless treasure." "Deal," Levi filled Jerry with another glass of wine. "If there's any more news of the treasure, be sure to let me know. "Okay, Commander. Jerry handed Levi a worn-out treasure map.

"Look at that, Levy, there's a beautiful woman. "For beautiful women, this creature Kendall is always the first to discover. "Why don't you go over?" said Levi smiled. "No way, you know, I only have Ryuin in my heart, and I won't look at any more beauties. Everyone laughed when they heard this, and this sentence itself is a lie.

"Since you're not going, I'd better go," Sigmund was already eager to try. "Good luck!" "Don't be too rude, hahahaha???"

I saw that Sigmund tidied up his armor, but there was nothing to tidy up, he combed his short hair again, there was nothing to comb, and then he puffed up his chest, walked over like a knight, politely saluted the beautiful woman, and then chicly snapped his fingers, called a bottle of wine, and sat down to talk.

"This guy," Levi looked at Daga and Kendall, "he seems to be a better liking to women than you two." ”

"No," Kendall was the first to disagree, "I'm after Arteelk Ryuin! That's a girl who can reject all the young nobles in Livingston! I won't lose to chasing a woman!"

"That's right!" Daga also expressed displeasure: "If it weren't for the identity, I would have married Miss Maise, and he would not be as good as me at all." ”

"Can I say a word?" said Grande, who had always been a serious man, and seemed to be interested in the subject as well: "If there is only one of us who is the best at coaxing women. "Grande deliberately hung everyone's appetite. "Could it be you?" Diev didn't think Grande would coax a woman.

"My ambition is to be like Jack Selter, and I won't think about women until then. Grande looked at Levi with a wicked smile, "It's our head who can coax women the most, and you can't compare at all." "Impossible!" Kendall thinks he's a big cut above Levi in this regard.

"You know what, Kendall," said Grande, meaningfully, "our master is the one who pursues both the Virgin Midia and the Valkyrie Selubellia, and they are two of the prettiest and finest girls in all of Pande. ”
