Chapter 8: Use your skull as a bowl
Seeing their own big sword and the opportunity to wash away their reputation, of course the Metenheim macho men will not be afraid!
A group of people sneaked into the valley.
It looked like it was indeed a pirate hideout, and when he got closer, Leon saw a cave.
A few pirates were lighting a fire outside the cave, seemingly boiling soup, and the smoke of the cooking stove was billowing and the delicious scent of wild mushrooms could be heard.
Well, the sunset is hanging obliquely, and it is indeed time for dinner...... Leon's abdomen rang with a chirp.
And then, like a contagion, more voices representing hunger came, and the voices in the stomachs of the Maitenheim hunks came and went.
They looked at the large clay pot hanging from the fire, their eyes glowing green—as if their desire for food was far greater than their retrieval of their equipment......
Leon suddenly understood what Klose said, "as long as there is food......
The two bare-chested strong men did look quite, and they were about to rush forward when they lifted the shoddy big sword in their hands, but then they were pulled back by Li Ang.
Leon let the hungry men hide behind the mound first, and dismounted himself, intending to go up and find out the situation first—he was going to carry out a sneak attack.
He was actually not happy to do this kind of dangerous work, but who let his men have no equipment...... This group of people has spent so much money in exchange, and if there is a battle loss here, it will be their own loss!
Although his chain mail is not a high-quality product, it has some defensive power, and the chain mail is blue-gray, which can be used as a protective color in the valley.
So, in the case of a possible sneak attack, then definitely don't just face it.
But the pirate camp was clearly set up with a secret sentry, and before Leon could get closer, he heard someone above the valley asking, "Looks like someone?" Who's that! ”
It was not good to go out of the school, and it was discovered dozens of meters away from the mouth of the cave......
I looked towards the place where the sound came from, but I didn't see anyone, and the place where the sound came from was a small grove of trees on the mountainside.
Of course, it is said that it is a mountain, but in fact, it is just a dirt slope more than ten meters high.
Li Ang's hand trembled, but he didn't draw his sword, but pretended to have never seen the world: "I...... I'm passing by here, can you buy something to eat......"
After speaking, he spread his hands and said that there was no malicious intent.
Klose was still very smart, and when he saw that Leon did not draw his sword, but was attracting the attention of the pirates, he led two people around from behind the dirt slope.
A pirate armed with a light crossbow emerged from the bushes on the hillside, looked at Leon's appearance, glanced around Leon again, and then aimed his crossbow arrow at Leon.
Several pirates in front of the fire also stood up, drew their weapons, and slowly surrounded him.
Leon suddenly sensed that something was wrong, because none of the pirates spoke, and their eyes were wary. And the pirate with a crossbow on the mountainside has been aiming for several seconds!
These pirates were not fooled...... Not good!
Li Ang rolled on the ground very suddenly, heard the sound of 'whoosh' breaking the air in his ears, and looked back to see a crossbow arrow pierced deep into the place where he had just stood.
"Kill them!"
Leon shouted, then drew his sword and charged at the nearest pirate.
If the sneak attack fails, then he can only be tough, and these pirates are much more vigilant than he imagined.
One of the pirates shouted, "I'm going to use your skull as a bowl!" ”
Several pirates rushed towards Leon.
But then, a group of shirtless men came out from behind the dirt slope, screamed and rushed up, and met the pirates.
The crossbowman on the mountainside was restringing, but Klose pounced from behind and slashed his sword in two.
Then Klose rushed down the hill and rushed straight to the entrance of the cave, just blocking a group of disheveled guys who had heard the movement and came out to check.
Leon knew that the Metenheim people came from a place all over the mountains, and that they must be very strong in mountain warfare. But he found that he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of these Metenheim hunks.
He could have just rushed head-on......
Although there was no armor, and although only five men had swords in their hands, in this kind of mountainous terrain, the pirates were easily defeated by this group of fierce men like a few chickens, and they couldn't run.
Li Ang can even sit idle and watch the play, just like eating melon seeds.
These Mettenheim people are running like flying on the hillside, and a dozen bare-shouldered macho men with white flowers are dazzling as they move around the mountain...... Leon can even sit back and watch the play
It didn't take long for the battle to end, and the pirates were completely incapacitated, and their men were unscathed, except for one unlucky man who was impaled through the foot by a sharp stone.
Leon whistled happily, and he now felt a sense of security that he had never felt before.
As soon as the battle was over, this group of shirtless macho men began to drink the fragrant mushroom soup in unison, completely ignoring the pirate corpses lying next to the fire.
Leon pursed his lips in disgust, found a clean helmet and filled it with soup and went into the cave—the foodies were so ugly that it was easy for him to think he was in a pigsty.
The cave did contain some food and ordnance, much of which was the original equipment of the Mettenheim men—some generous infantry armor and two-handed swords, as well as infantry hammers.
These armors have good defense, but they're very heavy—that's what makes Mettenheim's equipment tough, rugged but practical.
However, this practicality is only for the people of Mettenheim.
Because all of this steel armor is made very wide, it is only suitable for the large size of the Metenheim.
Probably because of this, these armors were not sold right away—they were so big that most Panders didn't fit well, and they wouldn't be able to sell them for a while.
In any case, the dozen or so shirtless hunks finally found their familiar equipment, and the team finally looked no longer like 'businessmen' who went to the noblewoman's house to deliver goods, but an army.
It's just that Klose is still not very satisfied, and his face is quite hideous when he searches for the loot.
Leon could probably guess why he was in a bad mood—there were thirty sets of the same armor, but he had only a dozen Metenheim men under his command.
There are only a dozen pirates here, and most of them are out of breath - this group of Metenheim is quite dark, especially Klose, who has basically no living mouth.
Leon felt a pain in his heart, he knew that these bastards were so good at fighting in the mountains, he should have sold his chain mail and exchanged them for a few blunt weapons, such as infantry hammers and the like - so that the pirates would probably die less, after all, the captured prisoners could be sold as slaves for money......
But now, the only two captives remained, one lying in the cave—the pirate must have been wounded a long time ago, and did not participate in the battle at all.
For Leon, this guy is probably useless, because he only has one leg and can't sell it......
The other was a young man with his legs shackled to iron.
It looks quite honest, and it looks quite ...... Comely.
Moreover, he was not handcuffed by Leon's gang - he had been tending to the wounded pirate in the cave.
No, these pirates are...... Leon and Klose looked at the handsome young man, and they both looked at each other, their eyes were a little unserious, obviously thinking of something more avant-garde.
