Chapter 22: The Barbarian of Mount Arden (6000 words, ask for recommendation)

Knowles and Fiora released the White Eagle, and half a day later, they brought back news that β€”β€”β€”β€” caravan was approaching.

The advantage of a high-altitude overlook gives the Arden people plenty of time to prepare.

It is also necessary to choose a good position for interception, if the distance is too far and is discovered too early, it will be the failure of the operation.

"When you go into the mountains, don't care about sustainable development, these days, you can shoot as many prey as you can. ”

"Call back everything you see and encounter!"

At the same time, Zyra and John of the Green Forest family led the people into the mountains, and they let go of their hands and feet, and hunted the wild beasts of the mountains and made them into jerky.

Although you can eat enough grains alone, the people of Arden like to eat meat.

In addition, they are about to relocate, and now they don't care that the death of a large number of wild beasts in the mountains will be exhausted, everyone lets go of their hands and feet, and hunts as much as they want, which makes them very happy.

"Are they all there?"

At sunset, Bai Luo rode Shirley, and her senior sister rode a brown war horse, which was a birthday gift from her uncle four years ago.

Bai Luo gave it a name, it was called radish.

Inia, Knowles, and Zyra, all three of them were also on horseback, and counting the turnips, they were all four horses in the village of Arden.

"Senior sister and I took the first step to investigate whether there was an ambush and ruled out unexpected situations. ”

"The others," Bai Luo said, "attacked the camp as planned." ”

"Yes!"

The five people led by Knowles looked solemn, they had received professional training from their uncle, and their individual combat ability was extremely strong, not to mention their cooperation.

"I'm going west, you're going east. ”

"Hmm. ”

Bai Luo nodded, he glanced at his senior sister and said, "Let's go!"

The five of them broke directly into the deep forest, where the beasts were playing and there were even some terrifying monsters.

However, the Ardenians are not afraid of them, even if they can't be defeated, but to avoid and repel them, it doesn't take much energy.

What's more, there is also a senior sister, who has the nickname of monster buster and killer in Arden Village.

If it weren't for the fact that the monster's meat yield was too low, the highest was only 10% (Tin Ya Boar), and with the senior sister here, the Arden people wouldn't be too worried about the food problem.

But even so, Senior Sister will still occasionally go into the mountains to practice with monsters.

Up to now, as soon as the senior sister enters the mountains and forests, the monsters will retreat, even when hunting the silver mane, the uncle will let her hide far away.

Otherwise, with the ability of the silver mane to perceive the breath, he would definitely not choose to fight with his senior sister.

After all, she's a monster of monsters!

"With such delicate fur, how did those mountain barbarians hit it?"

It was a three-metre-high fence that was used primarily to defend against wild beasts, not its kind.

In the camp, a bonfire illuminated the face of a wealthy man dressed as a gentleman, who looked at the wolf fur in his hand, which was not his, but another merchant's.

"This is the skin of the snow wolf, it is rare, put it in the territory of the Marquis of Qingquan, and it can be sold for 2 small gold coins. ”

The man said, "The marquis likes clothes made of such things, and she is not tired of any number of them." ”

"What about the cost?"

This businessman is obviously new, only to hear the other party smile, triumphantly said: "A piece only costs 5 catties of grain haha, it's still that kind of coarse grain!"

He was not the only one laughing, all the merchants were laughing greedily.

"There's only one way in and out of the mountains. ”

"Those villages of mountain barbarians, the land is very barren, and they can't grow much. ”

"We use grain to exchange grain for these mountain people, and if they don't sell it, they will starve to death. ”

"The only bad thing is that there are too few of them. ”

"After all, it's just some mountain barbarians, the snow wolf is not easy to fight, and it is good to be able to hit some!"

It is difficult for ordinary people to hunt monsters in the mountains, and even if they succeed, they must pay a lot of price.

The Ardenians keep a low profile and hide their talents.

At the same time, for the sake of sustainable development, so that there are not many beasts can have a buffer period, so the uncle restrained himself and did not flow too much of the treasures out of the mountain.

Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the fur of the monster can flow out less, as little as possible.

"Count Thorn is to blame, we are businessmen. ”

There were three caravans in the camp, and in addition to them, there were nearly 100 or so mercenaries who were heavily armed and strong.

"I heard that there were Ardenites in the west. ”

The mercenaries had long been accustomed to the face of profiteers, and they sat around the campfire, drinking and eating meat, and chatting calmly about all kinds of interesting things about the Thorn Collar.

During this time, they mentioned the Ardenians.

"Arden, the barbarians, is there any news of them again?"

"Every once in a while, it will be cleared by the kingdom, and there is news from all over the world, except that the Earl of Thorns is not like the other lords. ”

"He doesn't send troops, he only gives bounties. ”

"Wouldn't that be better!10 gold cakes (five million)"

"But we can't catch him alive. ”

"Strive hard, maybe there's a chance?"

The last voice, unlike the previous roughness, was a little out of place.

"It's not a question of trying or not trying, that's Arden... ”

The mercenary at the head was talking and was suddenly stunned for a moment.

He looked up, and saw that a third figure had squeezed between them at some point, on the stump where only two people were sitting in front of him.

"Yo!"

Silver-white thorny hair, wild clothing, this is a young man of eighteen or nineteen, waving at him.

At this moment, looking at the other party's smile, a huge sense of crisis rose in the mercenary's heart: "The enemy... ”

"Poof!!"

The sharp spear head stabbed out of Knowles's hand, piercing the mercenary's throat and forcibly interrupting his second word.

"Enemy attack. ”

"Ahh

The mercenaries on both sides reacted almost simultaneously, but the arrows that came from the darkness were faster than them.

"Click, click. ”

Two corpses fell, with only a third of the arrow feathers stuck in the back of their heads, and on closer inspection, their heads were pierced directly.

"How is it possible ... ”

With such a strong bow, it hit almost at the same time.

"Who are you?"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

All the mercenaries who saw this scene were frightened, they wanted to make a move, but they ushered in Knowles's spear dance.

His eyes became extremely sharp, and the gun's momentum brought a deep hatred and hatred.

"Huh!"

The spearhead slid past the mercenaries' necks, and in an instant, blood gushed out, and all four fell backwards at the same time.

"Hahaha, it's five, isn't it me the most now!"

When the words fell, I saw Knowles holding the spear in his hand, and the whole person was like a silver white wolf, swooping forward.

He broke into the crowd, didn't care whether the other party was a mercenary or a businessman, and killed one by one, without mercy.

"Hmph, idiot. ”

Zyra's disgruntled voice rang out, and she reached for the quiver and took out three arrows at once.

"Why is this guy so strong!What about the archers? Shoot, shoot!"

The leader of the mercenary group is called Okko, he joined the mercenary group at the age of fourteen, became independent at the age of twenty-four, and then started from scratch, and it took twenty years to establish this mercenary team with a scale of 100 people.

However, in just one face, more than a dozen of his subordinates died.

How long has it been?

"What are the archers doing? Why don't you shoot yet... ”

Ok turned around, and what he could see was not the attacking shooter, but the corpse in the ground.

Their heads, necks, and other exposed parts were stuck with an arrow tail that had been submerged in most of them, and Ok finally realized the problem.

The strength of these enemies is not ordinary, they ...

"Arden!"

There is only one possibility, except for the Ardenians, Ok can't think of such a strange enemy as the courier of the Iron Eagle Kingdom.

"Retreat, hurry, retreat!"

When the Arden is underage, or only one, the mercenary can boldly go up and capture it.

Shackled, the Ardens are nothing more than caged beasts, nothing to fear.

However, if the Ardenians were given weapons and enough food to grow up, even just one, it would cost the slave traders dearly.

Not to mention, here are two Ardenians who are cooperating.

The night, the forest, whether it is the right time or the right place, they are at a disadvantage.

"Why are you retreating?!Are you crazy?"

"Kill those two madmen!"

Merchant Pierce angrily rushed in front of the mercenary leader Oko, and he shouted, "I order you to kill... ”

"Poof!!"

Before Pierce could finish his sentence, a one-handed sword pierced his unarmored chest from behind.

Ok's face changed drastically, and he retreated frantically, his face extremely frightened.

"Haha, I've got the first credit!"

Inya wielded her one-handed sword and easily cut off Pierce's head, she didn't know who Pierce was, but the one who could give the order was definitely the big guy.

Sarath taught Inya from an early age that killing a hundred soldiers is not as much merit as cutting off the head of a general.

"You're dressed so well, you must be a big fish, right?"

Inya ignored the head that fell to the ground, she didn't give Ok a chance to react, and raising her hand was a blow.

"Phew!"

Ok instinctively chose to attack, but this time, although he barely resisted, it brought a huge burden to the right arm of the mercenary leader.

'What kind of strange power is this?!'

His arm trembled and ached, and Oko hurriedly retreated, but Inya was faster.

She wields a one-handed sword and is known for her dexterity.

Inya's strength is not great among the Ardens, and can only be regarded as the middle and upper reaches, but compared to outsiders, Inya is still a master among the masters.

"Woohoo!"

"Boom!"

Twice in a row he fended off Inya's attacks, but was hit in the abdomen by his sudden kick, and Oko flew upside down and crashed into the tree.

"Are you really a big fish?"

Inya played with her one-handed sword and danced one sword after another: "But you are much weaker than the Siya Boar, so you can be the boss with such skills?"

This is the meme that Bai Luo once played, and Inya did the same, and the mockery in her tone almost made Oko vomit blood.

"Stinky!"

Three Ardens, what a hell tonight!

Did you stab a hornet's nest?

That village turned out to be the lair of the Ardenians!

At this time, Okok, where did he not know the situation, he was deceived, deceived by that group of damn stupid profiteers.

What is not dangerous, this is called no danger!!

"Assemble! surround them, don't fight, block them with shields!"

Oko knew he had to fight, and the ferocity of the Ardenians was not under the monster.

But Oko knew that he was no match for Iniya, so he let the remaining mercenaries concentrate and immediately planned to use the crowd tactic.

Against the Ardenians, it must not be one-on-one.

Playing heads-up with the Ardenians is simply looking for death!

Excellent command, excellent equipment, powerful battle formations and layouts, this is the only choice to deal with the Ardenians.

"Hurry up and get rid of him. ”

A voice came from behind Inya, and Ok heard it.

But at this look, Ok was dumbfounded: "How, how is it possible... ”

At a glance, I saw mercenaries, as well as servants accompanying the caravan, and corpses in one place.

A woman stood under the moon, her silver hair fluttering in the wind, and her snow-white wolf fur was not stained with blood.

The senior sister looked up, and Ok saw her eyes.

At this moment, Oko fell into an ice cave, and the great fear almost made him feel suffocated.

Ok didn't know what was going on over there, and he didn't understand why his men had died after only a few rounds of fighting Inya.

But the facts are in front of you.

Nearly half of his own mercenaries died, especially those with bows and arrows.

Almost all the archers fell to the groundβ€”β€”β€”β€” it was the woman who killed them!

"He's mine, sister!"

"Hurry up. ”

Inya has time to gossip, because with Isefia behind, she is the main force to deal with this group of mercenaries.

"I surrender!

Ok understood that he was no match for these Ardenians, none of them were.

Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to surrender.

They are not Iron Eagle soldiers, they have no grievances with the Ardenians, and the other party has no reason to kill them: "Are you their leader?" I am willing to pay, I can give anything, let us go!"

Okko spoke quickly, and almost instantaneously conveyed his attitude and meaning to Isefia.

Obviously, this impossibly strong silver-haired woman is the leader of this team.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ ”

However, Isefia did not answer, and just looked at Ok calmly.

"They have nothing to do with us!

"What?!"

"Okko, you bastard!"

"Traitor!

The merchants regretted that they had chosen Oko's mercenary group, and it was only then that they regretted that they should not be greedy.

"Surrendered? This is surrendered, I'm not done yet!"

It's her first time out fighting, and she's looking forward to a close fight.

Of course, with her senior sister here, this is naturally impossible, and she will not let her sister be in danger.

"Inia, stop. ”

Isefia spoke, her voice cold and her tone calm, "Put down your weapon and get on your knees." ”

"Quick!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ok immediately gave the order.

"Get down on your knees yet!!"

The mercenaries had already been killed by Knowles, and they dared to question it, and they threw their weapons to the ground.

"Boom!"

The arrow broke through the air, and the frightened mercenary subconsciously had to act to resist.

But in the midst of the commotion, the arrows did not hit them, but the uneasy merchants.

"Ahh

"Damn. ”

"Run, run. ”

Unfortunately, how could a man's speed be faster than a sharp arrow, and Zyra was Arden's leading marksman, and in just a few seconds, all the merchants, along with their minions, fell to the ground.

It stands to reason that there are more or less elite people around the businessmen who can fight.

But they were targeted by their senior sister, and in the blink of an eye, anyone who had some ability was in a different place.

"Chirp!"

A loud eagle chirped, it was the code of the Ardenians, and Zyra hid in the shadows, like a sniper, and her position could not be easily revealed.

It was her presence that made the mercenaries present tremble one by one, fearing that the next sharp arrow would be stuck in their necks.

'What kind of archery is this... ’

Ok looked around from side to side, his face gloomy to the extreme.

No one needed a second arrow, all of them were killed by one arrow, and completely ignored the armor on their bodies, staring at the defenseless places and hitting the vital point.

"Gollum. ”

Ok never dreamed that he would meet Arden people in such a place, or a full four.

"Leave us alone, we've never captured the Ardenes, we're innocent!"

Ok is very good at talking, picking out useful parts to avoid angering the four people in front of him as much as possible.

"I know. ”

"You're too weak. ”

Senior Sister noticed the badges of these mercenaries, she knew all the mercenary groups in the Thorn Realm, and knew their origins.

As Okko said, they didn't fail to capture the Ardens.

I wanted to do it, but I didn't do it.

"You, you're not their leader?"

Faintly, Oko sensed that something was wrong with Isefiya, that she wasn't like a leader.

"Please let me see your chief, and I will certainly come up with terms that will satisfy you. ”

Okko's words did not make the senior sister's expression change in any way, because it was not difficult to guess.

"You're smart. ”

At this moment, Bai Luo rode Shirley and slowly walked out of the forest.

Shirley reclaimed the Pegasus wings and brilliance at this point, and the whole was no different from a normal white horse.

This is also Bai Luo's request, they need to be low-key and hidden, and never be easily exposed unless necessary.

"Are you the leader?"

Ok looked at Bai Luo, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, maybe he had a relationship.

"I'm willing to buy the entire mercenary group, please make a price. ”

"Oh. ”

Bai Luo nodded casually, and then said to Knowles and Zyra, "Kill them." ”

"What... ”

Okko thought he had misheard, but the ensuing arrows and the wails of his companions told him that Bai Luo wasn't joking with him, that they had really struck.

"You lied to us!"

Lay down your arms, yes, they say lay down your arms.

But Bai Luo did not guarantee that those who descended would not be killed.

He never said it.

"Run!"

There was no need for Aoke to explain, the remaining about forty mercenaries immediately fled in all directions, which made it more difficult for Bai Luo and the others to chase and kill.

Not to mention that there are still people who choose to resist.

Unfortunately, all the enemies who resisted were sniped by Zyra.

And those who managed to stand up also had to face Knowles' spear.

None of these people want to run, all of them have to die.

Not to mention Okno.

This person is a bit quick-witted, and knows how to advance and retreat, and is a character.

But it is precisely such a person that Bai Luo should be resolutely eliminated, because if he is left, there will be endless troubles.

"Haha, it's going to start again, this one is mine!"

Inya was thrilled to see the fleeing enemy.

She was tired of killing the fanged rabbit for a long time, and the tin-toothed boar couldn't beat it, at this time, when she saw the opportunity to grab someone's head, where could she still bear it, only to see the girl happily rushed into the crowd and started killing.

Bai Luo glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention to it.

With Zyra's long-range support, coupled with Iniya's skills, these fearless local chickens and dogs are no match for her at all.

"The one who took the lead was a bit judgmental. ”

The senior sister asked Bai Luo which direction they were chasing, Bai Luo shook his head and said, "They can't escape." ”

The surrounding geographical environment is very familiar to Bai Luo.

"Don't chase after Inya," Bai Luo looked at Inya and said, "You stay, take care of the horses and supplies here." ”

"Oh. ”

Inya was a little unhappy, but she never disobeyed her eldest brother's order: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”

"Zyra, chase after you into the forest. ”

"Knowles, take the high ramp and chase down the mercenaries who are going up the mountain. ”

"Yes!"

The two figures rushed out without hesitation, they had cooperated with Bai Luo countless times, and their tacit understanding was incomparable.

"Senior sister, you just feel it. ”

For Senior Sister, Bai Luo has nothing to order, she is too good, let alone let Bai Luo command, she commands Bai Luo is almost the same.

"yes, I see. ”

Senior sister is suitable to be a commander, otherwise she will act alone.

"Let's go, Shirley. ”

The reason why Bai Luo is calm is naturally because of Shirley's existence.

The mercenaries fled, but no matter how fast they ran, could they be faster than Shirley?

Shirley can fly!

"Whew!

Oko desperately fled, he took the road down the mountain, and with him, there were 4 mercenaries, all of whom were his most trusted henchmen.

They knew Okko's ability, and they knew that following him would definitely have a higher survival rate than their own spins.

"Those Ardens, why are they so despicable? Aren't they mountain barbarians?"

A mercenary had never heard of such an Arden, and in his concept, the Arden should be a brute force, the kind that could not read a single word.

"This Arden is not simple, the one on the horse, and another silver-haired woman. ”

"It's a tribe with structure and institutions," he said. ”

"Damn it!"

"Those idiot profiteers!"

"Such an Arden tribe is right under their noses, they haven't found out for so many years, stupid, stupid!"
