Five-on-five, a rabble of vagabonds against elite divisions that even the regular army could not match, the battle ended almost the moment it just happened. Although the big man leader looked fierce, he was actually not even as strong as a little demon, and he screamed and threw himself at Levi, trying to overwhelm Levi, who seemed to be almost a child, with his ferocious momentum.

Not to mention that he had just killed the Horned Demon Overseer of the Great Demon rank with his own hands, even during the time when he was a trainee attendant in the castle, Levi would not be afraid of this guy who was strong on the outside. The axe in the big man's leader's hand had not yet been raised to a position where he could attack, and the sword flashed, and Levi's saber had already slashed deep into his face.

A disgusting sound rang out, blood splattered, and the big leader screamed wildly, covering his face with his hands, and fell to the ground and rolled over. Almost at the same time, two other homeless men were also impaled through their bodies with spears and fell to the ground.

Only the deserter was not bad, using his simple spear like a ferocious viper, the spear and spear flicked each other in the air, and the deserter took a step back, and another step, but finally blocked several successive lightning stabs from the pikeman.

The woman among the vagabonds was lucky, and at Levi's suggestion, the pikemen who had fought against her showed mercy, and the spear shook in the air, and the woman's wrists and knees were successively pierced with bone cracks, and she collapsed to the ground.

Now the only opponent left was the deserter, perhaps because he was cornered, the deserter's parry was particularly crazy, and the pikeman's thrust was once again blocked by him. However, this was also the limit of the rudimentary spear used by the deserters, and a cracking sound sounded, and the wooden part of the spear could not withstand the fierce collision, and broke on the spot.

"Wait a minute. ”

Levi spoke suddenly, and the pikeman, who had launched another thrust, immediately deflected the spear as far as he could, wiping a bloody light from the deserter's shoulder, and then stopped in the air.

The deserter who had escaped death gasped heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead, but looking at Levi's cold gaze, the deserter didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe his sweat.

"Lord, knight, please forgive us, we are willing to serve you!"

A hoarse voice rang out, and Levi turned his eyes to find that the woman who had just been knocked down by the pikemen was actually struggling to sit up.

"Allegiance, what do I want a deserter and a robber to do?" Levi's voice still did not have a trace of warmth, but the woman seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, took out a silver medallion from her arms and said: "Lord Knight, we are not deserters, we are adventurers!"

Levi's eyes flickered, whether that little silver thing was proof of the identity of the adventurer, in fact, the young man didn't know, but he obviously didn't want to expose it, so he nodded and said, "Don't call me Lord Knight, I haven't been able to have that identity yet." Since you are not deserters, there is no capital crime, come into the house, I have something to ask you. ”

The woman let out a long breath, and despite the fact that her wrists and knees were already cracked, she limped along with the deserter known as Warren, and followed Levi to the room at the Black River outpost.

"Lord Knight, Warren and I are both from the same adventurer squad, and at the beginning of this demonic plague, we were recruited by Sir Rorschacha to join the army against the demons. After drinking a glass of water in the room, the woman's mood stabilized a little, and she asked the man named Warren to bandage her wounds while recounting her experience in a deep voice.

"In the beginning, Sir Rorschach didn't tell us who we were going to face, so we weren't very prepared. Then the enemy appeared, a team of goblins and orcs, and there were not many of them. We rushed forward, and the enemy was fleeing, and all sorts of things were thrown all over the ground. Sir Lochachael, a knight of considerable strength, led his cavalry to the forefront......" The woman shuddered, her teeth pounding against each other, and the horror of her memories seemed to shock her soul.

"Let me say that. Warren smiled bitterly and said, "The demon's regular army appeared, and the first wave of fireball spells crushed Sir Lochach's cavalry, and Sir Loxia himself was injured, but it seems that the trauma to his soul is much more serious than **." After turning his horse's head, Sir Rorschach fled the battlefield, taking with him the remaining few horsemen. And then there was a complete slaughter, Martha and the adventurer team I was in was not bad, and the captain was a quasi-knight who had reached the fifth level, but he had not yet comprehended the seeds of fighting spirit, and he was the group of centaurs who had held out the longest under the impact of the demon army, but in the end it collapsed. The captain was torn to pieces by a very tall, horned archdemon, and Martha and I escaped under the desperate protection of our teammates. ”

Warren's account was not very detailed, but Levi could already hear the tragedy of the scene in his words. The strategy of the demon army is similar to the battle under the Viscount's Castle, which is to use cannon fodder troops to attract attention, and then the regular army rushes into the battlefield under the magic bombardment and wins the battle in one fell swoop. The humans fell again in the same place, but under the Viscount's Castle, the knights did not turn their horses and fled, but chose to launch a decisive assault on the demon army, and in the battle in which Warren participated, Sir Lochach, as the leader of the knights, fled first, completely forgetting his responsibilities as a knight.

The result was already evident, the Viscount's Castle was still standing, and Sir Lochacha and his army were in ashes.

A strange light flashed in Levi's eyes, and a yellow light curtain appeared on Warren and Martha, the former showing an average level of danger, and the latter being weak, just in line with the level of their self-proclaimed level 3 rangers and level 2 thieves. In terms of the average strength of the adventurers, it is considered a good ability, at least from this point of view, neither of them are lying.

"Well, I'll take your word for granted. Levi nodded and said, "Then how did you come down to being robbers?"

Warren's cheeks trembled, "We can't help it, there are not many villages in the territory that are still holding on, and most of the villages have been broken by the demon army, burned and looted. The survivors gathered to form a large refugee camp, barely fending off a small group of demons. But new problems arose, and many escaped without taking much food with them. Under the thick fog, the animals disappeared, and the plants also mutated very much, and many edible plants appeared poisonous. Most of the people can only cower in the camp and wait to die, and those of us who have a little strength choose to come out and become robbers, robbing some of the unlucky ones that can feed their stomachs. ”

Warren's voice grew lower, a look of shame appeared on his face covered in tiny scars, and the ranger's two hands clasped between his legs, revealing the green tendons on the back of his hands.

The female thief Martha comforted Warren's shoulders into her arms, then looked at Levi with a pleading gaze and said, "Lord Knight, this is what we have experienced, please forgive us." ”

Levi groaned for a moment, these two former adventurers were not very sinful, they also fought with swords when the demon disaster came, and the responsibility for the final defeat should not be borne by them, but to condemn those noble lords who have no brains and courage.

On the other hand, although the Black River Outpost has sturdy walls and houses, it is definitely not a good place to be when the demon plague is raging. It's close to the border of the territory, and not far from the raging Black River, which is not very populated at all. This is also the reason why the demon calamity was immediately defeated.

Need to get out of here as soon as possible.

This thought flashed in Levi's heart, and the solidity of the Black River outpost once gave him an illusion, as if he could rely on the courtyard walls and houses to hold on, the problem of food was easy to solve, and the heart of the castle could supply limited supplies every day, this limitation was relative, in fact, not to mention Levi alone, even the life of dozens of people was no problem.

The problem lies in the strength of the Demon Army.

Levi had indeed cleared the demon forces stationed at the outpost, but it was clearly a military location, and if a new demon came to investigate, the situation would be completely exposed. With the strength of Levi and the pikemen squad, it is okay to deal with a dozen little demons, but if there are more than two big demons, you can imagine the consequences.

Levi didn't want to be discovered, and if he walked with the two former adventurers, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, but it seemed to be a very troublesome thing to let them go like this. These homeless people must have colluded with a nearby bandit gang, and even belonged to a bandit group in the first place, and Levi didn't want to be killed by a group of bandits from behind after showing kindness.

Maybe cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the best choice.

Anyway, they all committed the crime of robbery.

Thinking of this, the trainee attendant looked at the eyes of the two former adventurers, and couldn't help but bring out a murderous aura. The female thief Martha was keenly aware of this, screamed, and fell to her knees in pain.

"Lord Knight, don't kill us, we are willing to swear allegiance to you!"

This was the second time that the female thief had said this, and Levi was a little hesitant in his heart. In all fairness, he really didn't want to have a few more followers with a history of robbery, but maybe it was a better choice than killing two people who were guilty of not dying.

The murderous aura in the young man's eyes gradually faded, and he looked at the two people who were relieved, and said word by word in a solemn tone: "Then so be it, you two can follow me first, if time proves that what you said is true, I will officially accept your allegiance." ”
