Chapter 494: Thieves Attack
Those who are not hard can't come, but they can always come soft. What's more, this is just a performance for the hospitable baroness. And they were not disappointed, from the advice on making rice wine to the various techniques of warming the wine, Lin Ke had no reservations.
Although for himself, his knowledge of wine can only be regarded as half-hearted, and he simply loves to drink. But what he didn't expect was that the others were completely blank. The bottom line is that these aren't technologies with a high barrier to entry; It only takes one idea to expand people's horizons, and similar results can be achieved.
Of course, the baroness still hope to dig a little more benefit from this person. So at the wine table, the two of them had no identity at all, and they seemed very attentive. In addition, the cronies of the two of them are also smart people who are good at calculations. The offensive touted by a group of people has made a certain person who has alcohol on top of it fluttering.
Even the legendary demon king was also so drunk that he was at a loss, and he was a little speechless. Although no surprising secrets were revealed, the casualness in the conversation seemed to make the relationship between everyone a lot closer.
There is no need for the slightly drunk baroness to say anything, naturally there are people around them who take advantage of someone's drunkenness, all kinds of verbal temptations, and even induce each other to make promises.
But someone who had seen all sorts of deception before crossing over, even though drunk, instinctively wary of his words. Promises that can't be made, too unbelievable content, obvious traps, snort haha, put on your ears and pass it. Anyway, when you're drunk, many things are done intuitively, and someone's idea of protecting oneself is deep in one's bones.
Just as the Baroness' men and horses were about to push again, the unknown shaking of the ship disrupted everyone's calculations.
William Greco, who was also drunk and flushed, listened attentively and said, "There is the sound of flapping wings." ”
Baron Willem Engels stood up. Although he treats his subordinates leniently, he has to find out about the situation when this kind of mistake occurs in the boat, rather than ignoring it. But before he could leave the hatch, the guards who were already guarding the ship ran in and said anxiously, "My lord, we are under attack. ”
"Attack?" The drunken crowd had the same doubts in their hearts. The baron asked, "Where did the attack come from, do you know who the other party is?" ”
"It's a boulder that fell from the sky."
"Trebuchet? Do I need to turn off the lights? ”
"No, my lord, it must have come from heaven."
"The bandits?" Wilhelm Engels gritted his teeth, and most of his wine ran away.
The air bandits in his mouth can be said to be the most famous gang of bandits on the Golden Waterway. Riding a very special and powerful flying monster - the chicken snake dragon, it can attack day and night, and it is elusive. The nobles of the Vida military state tried to encircle and suppress them, but they also failed repeatedly, and the other party always hid as if they had known the information in advance.
Some people say that these bandits are bandits financed by enemy countries. It's a good story, but there's no solid evidence. However, with the strength of that group of people, even if they join the regular army, they can be treated very well, and the chicken snake dragon is not such a well-domesticated demonic beast. If an official should not be a thief, it is no wonder that some people question that the other party's purpose is not pure.
Needless thoughts aside, for Baron Engels, much of his wife's fleet was lost at the hands of this group of robbers. This is a loss of vital interests. Now this big ship with the unicorn flag is also being targeted by the other party.
Now that we know who our opponent is, this big ship that has been decommissioned from the war is not without means of defense. A group of guards, half-drunk and half-conscious, ran into the weapons bay in a mess, about to move out the weapons against the guys in the sky.
At this moment, the two magicians and the sword master also stood up in unison, and muttered to help with a drunken spirit. Among them, Lin even asked the lich beside him: "Who are those robbers here to trouble us?" "I would ask this, of course, because they haven't been calm all the way in their line of work, and it's not once or twice that they have encountered robbers or pretended to be robbers.
But where does Fen care so much, he said: "It doesn't matter who he looks for, if he makes trouble where there is me, he must have the consciousness of being beaten down by me." With that, the former demon lord fished into his waist, only to find that the magic gun was not on his body. After touching it for a while to confirm, he said stupidly, "I'll go back and get the guy first." "Flashed away.
And the other two drinking companions on top muttered: "Let's fight!" "William Greco was all over the ground looking for his weapon. Before Lin was about to rush out, he was called down by his apprentice. Kaya said, "Teacher, the wine is warm. Don't you drink it first? ”
After laughing twice, someone turned his head and said, "I'll go and come back, soon." With that, a flash of thought summoned the box back into his hand; In another flash, the man had disappeared from the cabin.
As far as the baron was concerned, how could he allow his guests to go to the enemy and not show up. But the most basic protection was still there, so it was only when his men brought his weapons that Baron Wilhelm Engels stepped out of the cabin under the protection of his cronies. Then see the unbelievable scene.
The deck, or as far as he could see, was as bright as day. The enemy's advantage in the dark night was nowhere to be hidden in this bright light. The former Demon King, who had returned to the deck, was holding a strange piece of iron, as if pointing at an enemy in the sky. But the group and their mounts, the Chicken Snake Dragon, were falling vertically into the water one by one, and some of them were clearly divided into several pieces.
And the magician, whose strength is not known to be assessed as very weak or strong, is appearing in the sky at this time. Just watch him throw the bladeless sword, which called himself a staff, and like a long eye, it drew a wonderful arc in the sky, and shot through the thief who rode on the rooster and snake dragon, until it sank into the handle. If it weren't for the cross-shaped gauntlet, I'm afraid the sword would have pierced through the enemy.
The next moment the thief died, the magician appeared in front of him, reaching out and holding his sword. The 'unsharpened' sword would turn in the air with the magician, slicing through the human body without hindrance, and severing the chicken, snake, and dragon before it could react. Then throw it at the next target! …… And the last one.
The same way to die. The thieves riding the chicken snake dragon in the air, and before they even had time to control the demonic beast under the seat to turn around and flee, they were pierced by the long sword, and then cut open, and died so much that they could not die again. Even at this time, there were some thieves and monsters who died relatively early who did not fall into the water, but fell from the sky. One after the other, they fell into the water.
That is to say, at the time when the baron prepared his weapons and walked out of the cabin, the invading enemy had already been killed by the magician who would kill him without saying a word, and there were only a few people left. The baron only had time to see the last two thieves die.
If it weren't for the fact that there were other thieves and snakes falling from the sky, and there were some unsunken corpses floating on the river, the baron would have thought that it was not this gang of robbers who had attacked, and only brought two or three people with them, and it would have been solved so quickly. The problem is very clear to him, this group of robbers never separates when they rob, no matter whether they are big or small, strong or weak, they always travel together, and then die together today......
The magician, who had returned to the deck at some point, carried his long sword, which he had heard to be 'not sharp', and sighed into his palm, saying, "It's cold, it's cold." Drink, drink. "As we walked in the direction of the cabin.
But the magician hadn't taken a few steps before the glamorous former Demon King used the weapon in his hand to fire more than a dozen magical energy-like attacks at his feet. Someone who didn't want to be shot, of course, jumped on his feet and complained, "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's the way to shoot me?" ”
"Why is it that the enemy is dead when I am aiming?" Fen asked dissatisfied, blushing and puffing out her cheeks.
"Isn't that saving you trouble? What is the waste of time on that kind of person? ”
"I've taken out all my guns, and I'm running for nothing! How many shots will you shoot me as a target? A certain lich on the top of the wine said coquettishly.
Someone, of course, refused. "Don't make a fuss, you'll die." Before he could finish speaking, one of the lichs had already turned on the repeating switch and shot magic bullets at someone, but someone had already flashed and fled. At this time, there was a shout from the cabin: "The wine is still warm, I didn't expect me to come to warm the wine again to kill Huaxiong." Let me think about it, how to describe it in romance. "Someone was very poetic, used the local accent, and chanted poetry:
'The first work of Weizhen Qiankun, the drum of Yuanmen painting Dongdong. Yun Chang stopped Shi bravely, and when the wine was warm, he cut Huaxiong. ’
When someone sings a poem, the light on the deck flashes and flickers, as if they were staring at someone. The dissatisfied, drunken lich shouted around without fear: "What is it, I will fight you, what do you want!" But in the end, there was no reaction. When someone finishes reciting a poem, the light goes out, and the heavens and the earth return to darkness.
And Baron Engels, who was standing on the deck, was blown by the river wind, and the whole person woke up drunk, and there was no longer the slightest drunkenness. Not only did the sailors and escorts, who had witnessed everything on the deck, but their entire backs soaked from cold sweat.
The thieves who attacked were the thieves who had been rampant in the golden waterways for several years, and they were famous. Especially their mounts, the Warcraft Chicken Snake Dragon is not only difficult to deal with because it can fly, even on the ground, it is also a strong enemy that is difficult for humans to deal with. In particular, they can release poison and have strong attack power, which time against the chicken snake dragon did not send a large number of raiding teams, and then killed a bunch of people before they succeeded.
Then this gang of thieves has more than XXX (30) chickens, snakes and dragons, and the ordinary little nobles can't resist such a force. Not to mention the merchant ships on the water, obedient cooperation is the only way to survive, and if you are lucky, you can save the ship and let only the most valuable goods be robbed. If the gang of robbers is angered, it is very common for people and ships to be left behind.
And then! Just today, there was not a single member of this gang of unnamed, robbers riding in chicken and snake cages, and they all threw themselves into the arms of the Po River. The one who did all this was a magician who 'heard to be very weak'......
The wind on the river is colder.
