The footsteps stopped at the periphery of the cave, and everyone was a little nervous about the arrival of this man, and whether they would live in peace or be splattered on the spot almost entirely depended on the momentary thoughts of the man with incomplete tones.

"It wouldn't have been like this, Mr. Hofhoe." The man whispered, symbolically raising his hands to show that he had no ill will.

But that was purely a matter of course, and the man's mere standing there was enough anger in the eyes of everyone in the cave.

The man seemed to be just pretending to raise his hand, but it was only because he was completely unaccustomed to his new equipment.

The hard armor in the shape of fish scales is interlocked with each other by the most advanced forging process at present, and the layers of armor overlap each other to form an incalculable defensive power, which glows with a metallic cold sheen, and the cold armor is both a predestined death and a reliable guarantee of life.

In order to adapt to the extreme cold environment of the Northland, the craftsmen who cast the armor also added thick fur to keep warm on the basis of the original scale armor.

This set of armor is already a high price that ordinary small nobles can't afford to pay for the raw materials alone, not to mention how much labor and skill it contains, only the king, or even only the emperor, and the emperor must be at the peak of the empire to have the rich financial resources to support such a luxurious army-

Imperial elite mounted cavalry!

Just hearing this term is enough to make many generals who have achieved great results tremble in their legs.

The direct cause of the collapse of the Galadia Empire, the Battle of Pandrac, although the result was indeed a crushing defeat for the Empire, but the entire Imperial Legion was not completely wiped out on the battlefield, and almost entirely relied on such a cavalry armed to the teeth to turn the tide, they swept away the Vallandians who relied on the heavy crossbowmen as sharp weapons, and then completely inflicted heavy losses on the Valandia Banner Knights who could have ended the battle, and finally evacuated the battlefield safely.

It can be said that Valandia did not take the opportunity to expand its territory when the empire was divided into three parts, because the elite armored cavalry of the empire left a lingering nightmare for Valandia's commanders at all levels.

Their proud knights of the banner, heavily armed cavalry, are as fragile as dolls in front of the Empire's elite mounted cavalry.

And now, an "Imperial Elite Mounted Cavalry" is standing in front of the Hovho crowd like this!

"Sure enough, the box you said fell into the sea was stolen by you." Hofho clenched his teeth, but he was not surprised, with the cunning of a merchant, he could naturally guess the cunning of the pirates, but there was no conclusive evidence before.

"There's no way around that, Mr. Hofho. Your mysterious appearance made me and my sailors nervous, and we were startled by the effort to get a glimpse of your cargo. ”

"Smuggling armor of this calibre...... You want us all to go to the gallows. The man put down his tired hands, and his tone was very playful, "Let your people save it, they should know better than me that the crossbow in their hands does not wear this set of armor." ”

The three armored crossbowmen were also slightly stunned when they heard the man directly point out the situation between the two sides, but they still held the heavy crossbow tightly in their hands, no matter how strong the armor was, there were weak gaps, if they gambled on luck, maybe they would be killed with one arrow?

However, this kind of luck is too small in the end, and if luck is really of such great use, then in the Battle of Pendrac, it will not be the elite cavalry of the Empire who repeatedly gouged through the line of the Valandians, but was shot into a hedgehog by the Valandia marksman.

If you don't let go of the weapon, you have a little confidence in your heart after all.

"Okay, Mr. Hofho, I'm in a good mood now, I hope you can cooperate more, for the sake of your life and that of your subordinates." The armored crossbowman did not lay down his weapon, but it was also expected by the pirate leader, in fact, he did not expect this group of people to lay down their weapons and surrender just by his own words, "We, we will not go further north, we are going to die, not to mention any other dangers on the way, this damn ghost weather alone is enough for us all to explain here." ”

"Don't go north again? Hehe, this is your attitude of collecting money and doing things. Hofho almost burst out laughing, "If it weren't for the fact that you were going to rob other merchant ships and delay your journey, we would have been on our way back a long time ago!" These ice floes only deserve to eat our ass ashes! ”

"It's not easy to make a living at sea." The pirate leader's tone gradually cooled, and he did not have any justification for his actions, "Hand over all your other armor, and I will let you go." ”

"Then I have a proposal, why don't you take off your armor and then put on your person and go first?"

"You're dreaming."

"You're dreaming!" Hofho roared angrily, and the three armored crossbowmen finally stopped being patient, and regardless of whether the weapon in their hands could break the armor, they directly pulled the trigger!

Three stubby bolts struck the pirate leader's body one after the other, and although they tried hard to aim at the vital parts of his body, the defensive power of the Imperial Scale Armor was so desperate.

The pirate leader sneered, slowly grabbed the crossbow bolt stuck in the gap in his armor, and then ripped it off and threw it on the ground.

"That is, the negotiations broke down."

The pirate leader shouted a loud trumpet, and his men's responses rang out one after another:

"Hey...... Ooh! ”

"Hey...... Ooh!!! ”

"There's that treasure chest in the sea, there's that treasure in the sea! Oooo ”

"There's that sea monster in the sea! There's that kraken in the sea! Oooo ”

"We sailors are not afraid! We pirates are not afraid! Oooo ”

"Looting the treasure?"

"Change!"

"Killed a man?"

"Crane bow!"

The song was rough, the lyrics were brutal, just listening to it was like thunder, like waves, coupled with the already narrow terrain of the cave, the echo was really like a huge wave back and forth, and for a while several people in the cave were even affected by their breathing.

"Are you going to die here?" Hofho's eyes showed a gloom, his previous investment failure was at most a loss of dinars, but he didn't expect that the biggest gamble he mustered up his courage would actually cost his own life.

The three armoured crossbowmen had already abandoned their ranged weapons, grabbed their one-handed swords hanging from their waists, and followed the three pikemen in front of them, tangling with the pirates who swarmed up.

The pirates basically only had warm clothes on them, and there was no decent protection, and the six private soldiers were not only fully equipped, but also veterans who were not afraid of death, and in a short period of time, they actually counter-attacked and suppressed the pirates outside the entrance of the cave.

Barely seriously injured, they left behind the corpses of a dozen pirates along the way.

The pirate's casualties increased instantly, and the pirate leader finally couldn't hold his breath and did it himself, and he was not used to how to use this heavy armor with less effort, so every step he took was extremely slow.

However, slow and unstoppable.

A pikeman had just stabbed the pirate in the chest, and before he could withdraw his weapon, the pirate leader grabbed his spear with his backhand and pushed it back with great force, and unfortunately the end of the spear was also sharp, piercing the protection of the three layers of chain mail at once.

But the pirate leader frowned slightly, he was not satisfied that the armored pikeman was only wounded, and the brute force in his arm burst out again, and he actually lifted the private soldier into the air through the spear.

The private's wound was torn open by this, and the pain was so great that he lost consciousness.

Then he was thrown to the ground again, and I am afraid that his internal organs were broken.

The leader's feat inspires the brutality of the pirates, and at the same time makes the resisting privates feel a chilling fear.

All of a sudden, the cave that could barely be held seemed to be about to be taken.

"Hey, grandson."

In the midst of the chaos, the pirate leader heard someone provoking him, and he looked up, only to feel a sudden pain that pierced his skull.

Moore dropped his empty crossbow and backhanded another crossbow and aimed it at the typical northern style of the overcover, hitting the only flaw of the perfect overcover without any accidents.

Pupil.

"It's poured! Poured !! ”

Someone screamed in horror, but it didn't belong to either of the two groups.

The voice came from a third party who had broken into the scene.
