Chapter 8 Siege Techniques
Chapter 8 Siege Techniques
(Second update arrived!)
As soon as Lear entered Old Buck's blacksmith shop in Moore, he was urged to hit the road by five impatient adventurers. Aden Reese, the knight of the Silver Sword, is upset that Lear has brought another goblin with him.
But looking at the strange gaze of the heavy axeman and the heavy shieldman, Aden Riser had no choice but to endure it, acquiescing to the existence of the goblin.
A group of seven people quickly marched towards the Great Forest of Black Mountain, where the horses of the five adventurers could not bring a powerful mobile surname in the forest, but would become a burden, so the war horses were also stored in the town of Moore.
"Mistress Reese, Miss Ace, where are we going in the forest?" asked Lear, a grimace on his face.
"Oh, Richard, we're going to find an ancient ruin, it's in the depths of the Great Black Mountain Forest, a place called Half Moon Lake!" said the female archer, taking out an ancient, almost tattered map, as she looked at it.
Treasure Map?Lear scoffed, every year many adventurers take the so-called treasure map to the Great Black Mountain Forest to adventure, and such a treasure map can be bought for three silver coins in the bar in the town of Moore, which is used by the locals to fool the rookie adventurers.
He had heard from the old hunters in the village that there were already powerful demonic beasts there, and from the edge of the forest to the Half Moon Lake, even a seasoned Even-moon hunter would have to walk for ten days and half a month, not to mention these delicate guys.
Maybe they'll be in a hurry to get back halfway through. Lear thought maliciously, well, it took nearly thirty days to go back and forth, just in time to be able to rush back before the snow closed the mountain, so that a dozen or so gold coins would be in hand.
Lear groped for the Broken Knife in his arms as he thought that since discovering the Broken Knife's abilities, Lear was reluctant to hang it on his belt anymore, but kept it in his arms. Fortunately, this knife is not too long, only about half a meter.
"Well, I heard that there is a laboratory of a great alchemist from ancient times, and the grave of the legendary great alchemist Marco Hierro is there!" the black-robed magician, who had always been silent, interjected, and at the same time glanced at the "delicate" goblin.
There was a look of panic in the goblin's eyes, but he quickly lowered his head to avoid the magician's pressing gaze. Lear was moved in his heart, a "delicate" goblin "traveled" in the forest, could it be that the goblin ** also came to find the ruins?
"Hehe," Lear said with a heartfelt smile, "Half Moon Lake is far from here, and you may encounter powerful magical beasts......"
"What do you mean, do you still want to add money?" Jace Carson, the heavy shieldman, said angrily, "No matter how powerful the beast is, it has seen our royal city four...... Sixiu also has to flee from the wind, hahaha......"
Lear smiled bitterly, I don't know what about the people who are high in the sky!
Slowly entering the mountain forest along the path unique to hunters, the trees became more and more lush, and someone in front of them had to cut through the messy vine branches with a large sword and axe to advance, and the heavy axeman Reinkett wielded a large axe to open the way in front of him, and a trace of white fighting spirit appeared from the huge axe blade.
Dou Qi! This heavy axe man turned out to be a white Dou Qi! Lear gasped, you must know that in the Ancient Continent, ordinary people can't learn Dou Qi at all.
The secret skills of fighting qi cultivation are all in the hands of the imperial royal family and nobles on the mainland, and civilians have nothing to do with fighting skills, and there are only two ways for civilians to learn fighting spirit, one is to join the army to learn the superficial fighting skills in the army and become a soldier.
Secondly, he was admitted to the martial arts academies held by various empires and principalities to learn fighting spirit, but this possibility is almost non-existent, and ordinary civilians can't afford the expensive fees of martial arts academies at all!
The heavy axeman must have been a nobleman!, in fact, Lear had already guessed. The gorgeous armor on their bodies, the magicians accompanying them, and the sophisticated weapons all show that they are not ordinary people, and the "Four Shows of the Royal City" in their mouths also shows that they are from the nobility of a certain kingdom.
What kingdom is it? Is it the closest kingdom to Roland, or is it the Saxon kingdom...... There are hundreds of small principalities and kingdoms in the Ancient Continent, and Lear's soil bun knows only the closest ones.
The heavy axe man drove for a while, and the fighting spirit dimmed, and the heavy shield hand Jace Carson rose up again, and most of the day's work was only a dozen kilometers.
Lear sneered, if he were acting alone, he could at least double the speed, he could use the power of the branches in the dense canopy to move quickly, and these noble lords obviously didn't have that ability.
"Stop!" Lear stopped abruptly, looking carefully at a few wide footprints in the grass, which were still wet and smelled strange.
"What's the matter?" asked the beautiful female archer, who had already raised her silver longbow in her hand, and on top of it was a silver-white arrow, and Lear could tell at a glance that it was actually made of rarer white iron!
Looking at the rough wooden bow in his hand, the long arrow made of polished bones, Lear sighed and said, "We're in trouble, there's a violent bear living around here......!
"Is it the Earth Storm?" said the Great Swordsman Aden Leo with a look of excitement, and the eyes of the other two warriors lit up.
Lear rolled his eyes, Earth Storm Bear, if it was the Earth Storm Bear, Uncle I would have turned around and run away, the Earth Storm Bear is a fourth-level demonic beast, and these people can't even stuff his teeth between them.
Although there are magicians in this team, depending on the level of these goods, they are at most first- and second-level magicians, who can send out a few fireballs or frozen balls, and they are not even qualified to tickle the earth storm bear.
"It's not an Earth Storm Bear, it's an ordinary Brown Mountain Bear. Bu Sui said coldly, if it weren't for the face of the gold coin, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to these sons and brothers, the second ancestor.
"Oh......" Everyone looked disappointed.
"Roar!" At this moment, a rough roar suddenly sounded in the forest, and a giant brown bear more than two meters tall appeared in their field of vision.
The powerful beasts of the forest have a strong sense of territory, and the brown bear is very unhappy with the humans who intrude on its territory, and it stands up to a huge body that reaches a staggering three meters in height, and roars angrily at Lear and his party.
"Don't, don't move......!" Lear's words didn't fall, and the female archer's silver longbow opened like a full moon, and an iron arrow had already been shot, but it was relatively accurate, and it hit the brown mountain bear's chest.
To Lear's surprise, the arrow shot into the bear's chest, but unfortunately only two inches deep, not only did it not cause the bear any damage, but it also completely angered the bear.
The brown mountain bear has rough skin and thick meat, and it is very ferocious, although it is not a monster, but the strength of ** is no less than that of the violent bear, Evenin hunters generally encounter the brown mountain bear alone will bypass it, as long as it does not invade its territory, the brown mountain bear generally will not take the initiative to attack humans.
"Roar!" the brown mountain bear roared angrily, darting at them.
"Quick, quick. The heavy shield hand is on top!The heavy axe hand responds to the side, the swordsman is the main attacker, and the magician is ready to attack magic......" Ace ordered loudly, while setting up a long arrow, the heavy shield hand Jace Carson immediately greeted him, it seems that they have rehearsed this offensive and defensive formation many times, and they are very skilled.
“#・*―...... The magician pulled out a short wooden wand and chanted the incantation aloud, "Whoosh-" A small fireball shot out from the head of the wooden staff, almost hitting Reinkert who was wielding a great axe, Reinkert shouted in dissatisfaction, "Esther, the future Great Magician, can't you be careful......"
"Boom!" the mountain bear's huge bear paw slapped the black iron shield, knocking the heavy shield hand to a stumbling one, the sharp bear claws left four shallow scratches on the shield, and at the same time, the giant axe hand slashed at the thick forelimbs of the mountain bear, and a tuft of blood bubbled up.
The knight of the silver sword raised his two-handed sword and slashed it down, and the female archer shot two more long arrows at the mountain bear, and the magician's fireball finally corrected its head, and the two fireballs landed on the back of the mountain bear, and a scorching smell of burnt fur came.
The brown bear, who was attacked on all sides, was furious, and lowered his head and slammed into the heavy shield hand that was blocking the front, "Boom!" The heavy shield hand rose from the ground, and fell to the ground on all fours, unable to move for a long time.
The Brown Mountain Bear raised its fat paw and was about to step on the ground, but the heavy axeman Rein Kert saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly raised his two-edged battle axe to slash at the front foot of the Brown Mountain Bear.
"Boom!" the brown mountain bear received a sharp blow, and no longer caring about the samurai under his feet, he opened the giant axe with one palm, but he did not expect that a two-handed sword would immediately stab him in the pliable stomach from the side, leaving a huge scar on its stomach.
Lear held a wooden bow in his hand, staring coldly at a few people beating the mountain bear, although these people are all fighters with fighting spirit, but the offense and defense are completely undisciplined, it is like a group of scoundrels fighting, all relying on the large number of people, and it is barely okay to deal with the brown mountain bear, if it is a land storm bear......
"This is the time!" the wooden bow in Lear's hand hummed, and a long bone arrow burst out of the string, right in the left eye of the mountain bear. The brown mountain bear has only two weaknesses, one is the eyes and the other is the half-moon-shaped white fur on the chest.
The bear's chest was blocked by the heavy shield hand and the heavy axe hand, and Lear had to choose his eyes, but fortunately, the distance was only about ten meters, and if Lear couldn't shoot at such a distance, he would buy a piece of tofu and hit his head to death.
The beautiful female archer had already shot a dozen arrows, and only a few arrows remained in a pot of iron, but all of them had been shot at the thick-skinned parts.
The fierce flame of the black mountain bear, whose eyes were greatly damaged, was greatly reduced, and several warriors besieged it repeatedly, and finally cut it to the point where it was drenched in blood, and its fur was sparse, and finally it fell to the ground with a helpless wail.
However, this bear is worthless except for bear bile can also be used, if it is a seasoned Even-ready hunter, he will definitely scold them for a bloody dog, is this obviously a waste of resources!
The five adventurers cheered and high-fived each other for the first prey to fall under their swords.
