Chapter 19: I Am a Mercenary

"Okay, I did it" Li Tian didn't have a choice anyway, "Very good, come here tomorrow morning and set off with the caravan." The middle-aged man said.

Li Tian stayed in a small shop for one night at night, and the next day he had breakfast again, touched his pocket, and there were dozens of copper coins missing, and he couldn't help sighing: "Money, I really can't help but spend it." โ€

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Li Tian found the caravan, which had fifty carriages and hired a hundred mercenaries, including Li Tian, and the middle-aged man told Li Tian some rules that mercenaries must follow, such as never leaving their employers in danger and running away, otherwise they would lose their mercenary qualifications.

Li Tian followed the large army and marched towards the destination. At noon that day, the scorching sun made people want to bump out oil, Li Tian and his entourage were marching on a plain, and a middle-aged man said next to Li Tian: "This hellish weather,. He said to Li Tian again: "Li Tian, be vigilant here, there are several bandit groups operating here, and once they are careless, they don't even know how they died." โ€

"I see, Uncle Jeer. "Uncle Jer is a good middle-aged man that Li Tian has known in these days, heroic, hearty, and very experienced, he is very respected among these mercenaries, and he has given Li Tian a lot of necessary knowledge for mercenaries. Listening to Uncle Jer's words, Li Tian secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

At this time, Li Tian felt a tremor on the ground, and Jer's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Everyone is gathered together, it is a bandit." These mercenaries were very experienced in forming a circle around the carriage on the periphery, and surrounded the trembling merchants inside, ready to meet the battle, and soon, a black tide followed, surrounding the caravan in the middle, these bandits were all strong men, riding horses under their crotches, holding sabers in their hands, and they were looking at the people inside with bad intentions, with a fierce light in their eyes.

Jer secretly counted the number of these bandits in his heart, and his heart was cold, there were hundreds of these bandits, several times more than the people on his side, not to mention that these bandits were all on horseback, and they couldn't run. Jer's heart turned for a moment, he left the team and walked a few steps, and said loudly: "I don't know that it's the bandit group that came, and there is no bandit group in the vicinity that has such strength." At this time, a leader came out from the opposite side and said: "We are a group of blood wolf bandits, acquaintances, leave all the goods and get out, we can leave you a small life." โ€

"Blood Wolf Bandits, how did they get here. "It's the bandit group that the governor has sent troops to surround and suppress several times but have not been exterminated. "Li Tian has heard of this bandit group in their mouths in the past few days, this bandit group is famous in the southern province, and it has done a lot of murder and overhaul, and the governor of the southern province has sent troops to suppress it several times but has not been exterminated, but the place where they are active is hundreds of miles away, I don't know how they came here.

At this time, the pale merchant came out tremblingly, and said to the robbers: "Here is all the property of the villain, and please raise your noble hands, I am willing to pay for the toll of thirty, nay, fifty gold coins." "Oh," thought the bandit leader, "since this merchant can give so much money, the goods must be much more valuable than the money." Then there was a fierce glint in his eyes, "Brothers, kill them all, and their goods will be ours." "Kill. The thieves rode their horses and rushed up, and the merchant trembled angrily, and pointed to the bandit leader and was about to speak, when he saw the robbers rushing up, he was so frightened that he hurried back behind the crowd.

Because the carriage was in the way, the bandits could not rush on horseback, so they all dismounted and killed this side.

Li Tian stood behind the carriage and watched a bandit rushing towards him, a mercenary rushed up and was cut down by the bandit, the mercenary was still chatting with Li Tian before, but now he fell to the ground and convulsed, blood spurted out of his neck, splashed on the bandit's body, and also splashed on Li Tian's face.

"Dead, dead, just, dead. Li Tian looked blankly at the fallen and convulsive young mercenary, just a few minutes ago, he was still talking and laughing with himself, now he is dead, life is so fragile, this moment seems to have become so long, the eyes of the fallen mercenary gradually dimmed, the little orchid of his childhood sweetheart in his mouth can no longer wait for him to come back.

And at this time, the bandit had already set his eyes on him, smiling and waving a scimitar to look at Li Tian, feeling the warmth of the blood on his face, Li Tian suddenly hit a spirit, and recovered from the shock just now, this is the first time Li Tian has seen murder, watching the bandit smiling towards Li Tian, Li Tian knew in his heart that if he didn't kill him, he would be the next, under the crisis of life and death, there will only be two reactions, one is the powerlessness under fear, tightly shrinking the whole body together for slaughter, and the other is madness, bloodthirsty madnessใ€‚ Li Tian's eyes turned red, he shouted angrily, raised his sword and slashed at the bandits.

The bandits were outnumbered, and although the mercenaries fought hard, the defensive circle was getting smaller and smaller, and even many bandits killed the mercenaries and jumped into the defensive circle formed by the carriage. Although the mercenaries are very brave in order to save their lives, and most of them are experienced mercenaries, often one or two mercenaries fall, and one of the bandits will fall, but the bandits are outnumbered, and the mercenaries are invincible with two fists and four hands, no matter how experienced they are, more than half of the mercenaries are quickly killed and injured.

Li Tian soon had a few more wounds on his body, but the bandits on the opposite side became more and more courageous, the bandits saw the opportunity, a knife slashed at Li Tian's neck, Li Tian was shocked, in the crisis of death, Li Tian's adrenaline secretion was rapid, only to feel a surge of power, "bang", Li Tian relied on the weight of the sword to swing away the bandit's saber, homeopathic sword, cut the bandit's neck.

Blood poured out of the bandit's neck, and the bandit clutched his neck and fell in disbelief. This is Li Tian's first real killing, killing is different from killing chickens and sheep, Li Tian felt powerless after the sword was split, but there was no time for Li Tian to adapt, Li Tian felt his body, felt that his movements were more fluid than before, and his strength was faintly improved, "It seems that fighting is indeed a shortcut to breakthrough." Li Tian muttered, but he didn't have time to think about it again, because several more bandits surrounded him.

Li Tian clenched the iron sword and killed it again, but with one enemy and three, Li Tian had a few more wounds on his body, at this time, a few more screams sounded, and several mercenaries fell, and there were only a dozen mercenaries left, under the wave of bandits, it seemed that they would soon be drowned, Li Tian only felt a blur in front of him due to excessive blood loss, "Are you going to die?" Li Tian asked himself in his heart.
