As a mercenary, what is the most important thing to pay attention to when walking?

If you are consulting a seasoned mercenary who has been in the industry for more than ten years, then after drinking the glass of wine that was the price of the consultation, they should tell you with a meaningful face:

"Don't meddle. ”

But before you lose your temper because you feel fooled, if you can calm down and think, you really want to be one of those few who can live long. This seems to be just a perfunctory sentence, but in fact, the meaning is quite deep.

Who never thought that they would fight the world with a sword when they were young and vigorous, and the profession of mercenary is the way to achieve it in the eyes of many young people with dreams. They always think that they are helping others solve their disputes, trying to make the world a better place.

After such people actually enter the industry, their dreams are often quickly shattered and decadent. The few who do not give up on themselves but persist in following this path will fared even worse, falling into the exploitation of others, and eventually ending up dead.

Even if you do good deeds, you will not be grateful, others will only take them for granted. When something bad happens, being wise and protecting yourself is the right way to live longer. After all, some things break into the relationship, and it's really not so simple to get out.

So.

Don't meddle in things, it's a necessary skill for a seasoned mercenary -

The snow was falling, falling on the sheepskin gloves, and it didn't melt quickly because of the temperature.

The first snow of the Nordic Aurora is white and clear, reflecting the glow of the campfire ahead.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and in Suomir, the sun should set in another hour and a half.

Kaleva held his breath, then exhaled quietly when he couldn't hold it anymore, his movements suppressed but his heart beat fast and nervously, as if he were afraid of alarming something.

Henry and Mira stood in front of him and dismounted, their weapons not yet drawn, but their posture was tense.

"Hah-" The sunlight was obscured by the edge of the pot helmet, and the shadow covered half of the soldier's face. On his face, which was covered by a warm hood on both sides, only the blue eyes on either side of the high bridge of his nose were still sharp, and those eyes were firmly fixed in the direction of the sage and the girl of Luoan, and the long trigger of the crossbow was held in his right hand, ready to fire at any moment.

Three-legged stand - maybe that's not right, right?

Henry thought so, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the man beside the fire who could no longer even stand up.

The situation is actually quite easy to identify. There are only two and a half of them that can be considered combat power - half is a small unicorn rather than a two-legged fight - and on the opposite side are 5 halberders, 4 spearmen, and 1 veteran crossbowman on horseback.

Mercenaries shouldn't be nosy, let alone that the other party has already taken the lead.

The situation looked rather complicated—Henry's eyes withdrew from the man on the ground, and he only had to sweep away all the information he needed to grasp.

This is a young man in his early 20s, Suomir, with quite a few wounds on his body. It can be seen that although he has tried his best to bandage, it is obvious that some places such as his back cannot be taken care of at all because he is walking alone, and he is still exposed in the snow, which is gradually deteriorating.

The damage from the sword slash was concentrated on the back, and there were traces of crossbow arrows shooting through the back on the side waist, but fortunately there was no internal organs. An arrow in the leg was probably the reason for his fall, and after the horse had run away, he came here with his sword as a crutch, trying to make a fire to warm and disinfect the wound.

With a survival instinct, after the flames rose, he happened to meet the sage and his party. And after being wary and worried, the young man, who found out that they were mercenaries, said that he would hire them as if he had found a life-saving straw.

But before he could explain the situation, the newcomers appeared and interrupted the conversation.

The spear and halberd were pointed straight at them, and the powerful steel crossbow was wound, and the bearer pointed condescendingly at him and Mira on horseback.

He didn't need to explain too much, but combined with the location of the wounds, the contradictions between these newcomers became clear after they appeared. A little bit of a person can be inferred from the very similar clothing of the pursuer and the injured youth.

"Do you want to protect this deserter, mercenary?" said the crossbowman who seemed to be the leader, cementing the idea of the sage and the girl of Roan.

"You guy, slander me, mercenary, don't listen to him, it's these guys—uh-ah-" The wounded soldier who got up angrily and roared loudly pulled at his own wounds, pounding the ground with his hands in pain, but quickly lay back on the ground due to the loss of energy, panting and dying.

"......." His words made the crossbowman on the other side loosen his expression slightly, and he looked at Henry and Mira suspiciously. But this expression disappeared in a flash, and he continued: "Isn't it the purpose of mercenaries to be alone, and this matter is internal to the army, so it has nothing to do with you, right?"

He kept staring at Henry and Mira as he spoke, without turning his head to look at Galeva.

This detail made Miss Roan frown, but just as she wondered if her teacher had noticed it. The sage took a step forward—"Hmmm—" stopped there. The spears and halberds were all pointed at him, and the infantry took a step forward.

"Don't come any closer. "The reason for such vigilance naturally has something to do with Henry's hanging from the saddle of Kramer, and the news of the Great Swordsman's return to his homeland has now spread everywhere in Suomir. Although they should not theoretically be present in areas like the remote north of Aurora, this still makes the soldiers quite fearful.

The sage lowered his hand and gestured to Mira with his back behind him. And the Luo Ann girl's eyes became cold after reading it—Henry in front of him took a step forward.

"Don't get closer, mercenary!" the squad leader's tone became intense, and his halberders approached in an instant, pointing the tip of their halberds at the sage's chest at a distance of only a few dozen centimeters.

"Don't come closer, leave now, and you'll be able to get out of the way. The crossbowman calmed his breath and continued, "Don't meddle with it, it's none of your business. He tried to persuade him, but the sage only shrugged his shoulders.

"Your deception skills still need to be honed, squad leader. Henry cocked up a finger and spun around as he took another step, and the Miss Loanne began to quietly back away when she saw that he had attracted attention.

"Damn, don't come closer, Assi, don't be afraid, you wastewood!" Suomir's scolding rang out again, and the halberders and spearmen retreated to the crossbowmen as the sage fearlessly moved forward.

"You know people always say that if someone is lying, he tends to look away, right? But in reality, people will always look the other person in the eye when lying, hoping to increase the persuasion of the other person to trust you. Henry then approached, and they began to mess up.

"If you want to successfully deceive people, you must first deceive yourself. That is, behave naturally and not be too deliberate. ”

"Yes, just don't deliberately skip a place and not look at it, for fear that your opponent will be suspicious because you often look there, such a thing is absolutely unacceptable—" He shrugged his shoulders, his face full of indifference.

"Tsk - kill him. The team leader, who realized that the other party had detected the ambush, turned cold in his eyes, and finally opened his mouth to order. But Henry's movements were far faster than theirs, and the moment the soldiers were about to rush forward, the sage pulled out the dagger at his waist with his backhand, and then threw it in the face of the halberdier on the right. Then, the moment he let go of his hand, he dodged several other stabbing halberds, reached out and grabbed the man's weapon, and after pulling the weapon, he held the halberd head and used the tail thorn at the end to lift the skirt armor of the halberd soldier in the middle, and stabbed it through the abdomen.

"Uhh But he retreated from the infantry to give the crossbowman commander a goal, and he immediately raised the crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger.

"Smack-huh-"

"When!!" At this time, the problem of equipment quality is reflected.

"What the hell!" was just the velvet on the surface of the quilt scraped, the Brigundy plate armor was not even dented, and the crossbow bolts were curled up and fell into the snow.

"Whew-" The squad leader hurriedly tried to rewind it, but he was sitting on horseback and couldn't grasp the auxiliary lever because of his panic. The soldiers rushed up and attacked Henry with their weapons, and the sage reversed and held the middle of the halberd in a more powerful and steady way, parrying two attacks, and then a spin led them to the side, and he then leaned forward, slashing the head of the halberd diagonally downward, hooking the inside of one of the knees with the sharp hook from above, and then pulling it back so hard that it cut through the skin and tendons and pulled him to the ground.

"Cut off his leg!" In the middle of the scuffle, if the long-pole weapon does not change its grip quickly, it will only hinder each other with friendly forces because of its length, although the soldiers can only react in 2 or 3 seconds, but for a person of Henry's level.

3 seconds can already do a lot of things.

While pulling down the halberd, he turned the halberd in his hand in a circle and threw it at the two spearmen next to him, and when the other party hurriedly dodged, Henry had already picked up another halberd, but this time he ignored the soldiers behind him and rushed to the crossbowman sitting on horseback.

"Click-" "What the-" The hook on the halberd was designed to pull the cavalry off his horse, and the crossbowman captain didn't think his family would be defeated so quickly that he didn't react at all, he hurriedly planned to load the crossbow bolt but was dragged to the ground by the sage before he could do so.

"Boom-" "Uh-" Henry struck the high bridge of his nose on the bare door with a cross-facing wooden pole, causing a nosebleed and the squad leader immediately fell into a vertigo. The sage took the crossbow in his hand, drew a bolt from the bag of crossbows in the saddle, and then loaded it, and at the moment when one hand threw the halberd in his hand as a throwing spear, the other hand raised the steel crossbow and pointed it in the direction of Mira.

"Click-click-" The moment Henry pulled the trigger, the girl had just rushed to her horse.

"Take!!" The junior soldier wearing only cotton armor was shot in the torso by the penetrating exquisite crossbow machine, "Woo wow-" fell behind him with a bang, and the Luo An girl pulled out the long sword with a "bang-" while staggering the one-handed knife of the man in front of him, attacking from his side and piercing his neck with the tip of the sword-

"Flutter-" Blood splattered, like a bloody rose blooming on this virgin first snow.

"Shhh

In an instant, 3 were killed and 4 were wounded. The leader of the crossbowman's squad, who had broken his nose and fell to the ground, was helped up by his companions, and the junior infantrymen who had been buried in the woods to attack Kaleva and his horses came out.

The captain looked at Henry with resentment on his face, and the sage glanced at the beautifully crafted and expensive steel crossbow in his hand, and threw it to the ground with a nonchalant face.

Then he turned around and pulled Kramer out with a "boom-"

"There are still 15 people left, and it's a blessing that the longbow is not popular on Suomir's side, and it will be difficult to do it if there are also ranged weapons. As she spoke, she felt her hands tremble and her breathing was unsteady, and although she was doing well, she was clearly affected by the snowfall.

Fighting in the snow is very different than usual, not only the ground under your feet becomes unstable, but also the exertion of breathing and physical strength is very different due to the cold.

The team leader with a resentful face said, "You guys won, but the overall situation looks at-" "Ahhh And Henry interrupted him very rudely.

"I know what you're trying to say. ”

"It's that set again, we have the advantage, you'd better obediently get acquainted with each other and make concessions while we can make peace now. ”

"Everybody knows you're not going to let us go, because there's something that guy has in his hands that makes you have to kill people, so even if it's just 'probably what you heard' before you came, you have to leave us here, forever. ”

"That is nothing more than something to make us let our guard down, and I've said it before, your tricks of deception still need to be honed. ”

"You guy!" "I don't understand, I'll teach you." Henry shrugged his shoulders calmly: "The real peace talks, to show that you have the advantage, should be like this." ”

"Woo-" He flicked Kramer in his hand, and the perfect blade sliced through the air with a loud, sharp cracking sound.

"This is a Kramer, the most powerful slashing two-handed sword in the world. ”

"It can easily split you in half from shoulder to waist. ”

"And you're all within its range. ”

"I'm not going to kill them all, maybe any of you will be lucky enough to get past your sacrificial companions and come up to me to strike a fatal blow. ”

"So to speak. ”

"You should ask yourself a question. ”

"Am I so lucky?"

"......." A group of people standing more than ten meters away looked at Henry with a speechless expression, while the girl Luoan gave him a blank look next to him: "....... This is clearly a threat. "Uh-huh-" The Kaleva chick nodded as if pecking rice, not knowing who she was agreeing with.

After a long silence, one of the junior soldiers finally spoke: "Are you stupid, standing at ten-" "Bang-"

Snowflakes flew, and then the wooden poles were cut off in unison.

"Poof-" The soldier who had been hit in the face by the counterweight ball fell backwards with a nosebleed and a broken front tooth, and Henry kicked another man with only half of the shaft of the spear in his hand a few meters away.

"What the hell—"

"Aurora's nightmare, this guy is a real great swordsman, not an imitator, go, go!"

When the dust settled, even the seriously wounded and dead could not be cleaned up, and these people rushed away from the place.

The Sage and the Roan Maiden turned their heads and looked at the dying young soldier.

"I'm in trouble. Henry shrugged, Mira gave him a blank look, and Galeva sighed.

"Anyway, let's get out of here and try to treat his wounds. ”
