Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 28: Battle of the Roses (2)

Unexpected?

Maybe.

It's so wrong for a player to stay here for so long, doing all sorts of things that don't make sense. This is the Rose Grove, and they are participating in the Rose Showdown, and nothing like getting lost should happen.

Because, there is no road in this.

Ning He admired this player a little, you must know that if these three people did not walk in but released cold arrows in the distance, he was likely to die.

The other two people who were holding their necks also quickly fell to the ground, and the bloody wounds formed by the sharp arrows in their necks had no chance of survival.

However, from the player's attack to the cold arrow in the forest, the three rose knights who had strayed into it were buried forever in the rose forest, never to wake up again.

The lonely player went through the corpses alone, took off the leather armor on the three people, and did not let go of some of their items, and Ning He, who was looking at the voyeurism, was a little stunned.

Ning He lowered his voice and said, "What should we do now?" ”

Zhu Yaotang glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Wait, there are still his companions in the forest, we can't tell the location now, and we may bump into each other if we leave rashly." ”

He just paid a little attention to it, and the two people killed by the cold arrow were standing in a different position, which means that the archers in the forest have more than one direction, and the few sharp arrows that were shot at the same time just now mean that there are still many enemies in the forest.

Thinking about it, there was a rustling sound in the forest again.

The player in the forest reacted quickly, and he returned to his original panicked appearance again, holding a scroll of drawings in his hand and cursing something in a low voice, which was very realistic.

"Yo! Look, look, there's a lonely guy! A squad dressed in uniform turquoise appeared, and they naturally advanced in front of the player in a loose arc. There were also a few crossbowmen with crossbows in close proximity, and archers waiting a little farther away.

Ning He's eyes were a little dazed and he looked at this group of people who suddenly appeared, and on the back of their blue-green uniforms were written the five big characters of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group. He didn't understand why a mercenary group had popped up in the Rose Grove.

Zhu Yaotang on the side was also puzzled, but on the way here, Bishop Dino Norman from the Church of Light had given them a vaccination.

This time, the number of places in the Rose Duel was limited to 1,000, of which the church got 347 places, and the rest was divided between the king and the powerful people in the kingdom.

In the Io Kingdom, local families and local nobles have a lot of power, although they do not interfere in the struggle for supreme power, but both Pope Sid and the old king Jeffrey Ramsay rely on it very much. The Rose Knight will be the husband of Duke Hobbes's sole heir, and conspirators and careerists are like wolves that have smelled blood, pouring into this already narrow track.

Their strategy is simple, they will choose their heir to participate in the Rose Showdown, and then send an elite team to protect them. Even if they don't receive the goods in the end, they have a good chance to quit the Rose Grove, and the opponents of Kaitarn Adams and Douglas Adams are only each other, and no one in the royal power and the clerical power wants to make new enemies.

A chess game in which only the king and the pope were chess players were unwittingly inserted into the three dukes, the seven marquises, and even other characters.

The entire Rose Forest has become a battle for the successors of the future stars of these kingdoms.

The Blue Wolf Mercenary Group was originally a mercenary group that was originally free from the borders of the three major forces, and usually relied on the protection of escorts and some black industries to make profits, but this time they were found by one of the seven marquis of the kingdom and hired them to help and protect the marquis's son.

The leader of the Green Wolf Mercenary Group is alias Green Wolf, he is a middle-aged man with a knife mark on his face, he constantly observes the surrounding woods with a fierce expression, and the deputy leader of the mercenary group speaks. The lord gave a lot of money and promised a lot of benefits, so they were the best wolves this time. A mercenary group of two hundred people selected twenty-five people back and forth to accompany the Marquis's son into the Rose Forest.

The son of the marquis, accompanied by two female mercenaries, was hiding at a safe distance and waiting for the results. Around him, there were also five safari experts scattered to prevent accidents.

The remaining eighteen mercenaries, including him and the deputy head of the regiment, were staring at the "stranger" who was blocking their path, and there was a hint of disgust on the green wolf's face. These so-called strangers have caused them a lot of trouble at the border.

Whether it's normal work such as armed escort, or robbery and reselling, these strangers are especially rushing to do it. The green wolf still remembers the last time he came here to "rob the rich and help the poor", and every time he thinks about it, he gets a toothache.

The robbery was in a valley near the Empire's borders, through which a valuable armed caravan was to pass through. After the green wolf received the news, he was indignant and organized a team to rob the rich and help the poor, wanting to collect some tolls.

What is the rich? What kind of poverty is helped?

In the understanding of the green wolf, of course, it is to rob others of their wealth and help their own poverty.

But he also knows the truth of being a man and leaving a line, so that he can rob again in the future. It was supposed to be an ordinary roadblock toll, but unexpectedly, it turned into an incident that alarmed the border army of the empire and the kingdom of Io.

At that time, the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group was lying in ambush at the exit of the valley, waiting to be caught in one net. Unexpectedly, before the sentinel could report, there was a series of explosions in the valley, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the mountains and rocks collapsed, and then there was a shout of killing.

The experienced green wolf immediately understood what was happening, and someone wanted to cut off the beard. He is not a vegetarian either, and those who can be mercenaries at the border are not good people, and there are so many wolf cubs behind him to fill his stomach. He made a decision immediately, and a group of people rushed in, you dare to intercept my Hu, I will intercept you after you finish intercepting.

And so, tragedy unfolded......

The green wolf who entered the valley easily presided over justice with the strong strength of his mercenary group, chopped melons and vegetables for this group of stranger bandits, and then by the way, he also obtained a temporary hire for this caravan with a lot of money, and directly turned from black to white, ready to escort them to nearby towns.

It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as the team came out of the valley, their original ambush point had been occupied by another group of stranger bandits, and the green wolf had no choice but to take the caravan guards and his own mercenary group to the top, and the fat sheep in his mouth couldn't fly.

The rabble was quickly defeated, and the Blue Wolf had planned to send the caravan into the nearby city in just half a day. But what I didn't expect was that wave after wave of stranger bandits began to attack frequently. What's even more strange is that the closer they get to the city, the more bandits there are from strangers, and finally even the road behind them begins to appear bandits, and there are even shadows of the border armies of the empire and the kingdom.

Some strangers, who were obviously wearing army uniforms, attacked them without hesitation.

From the easy defeat at the beginning to the fierce battle later, it took a full day to escort the caravan into the city.

When the caravan paid off the escort fee and left, the green wolf turned around and looked at the hundreds of dead and wounded people who went out, more than half of which were lost.

And the group of players who were bouncing around acted as if nothing had happened.

The young wolf remembered the rumors that strangers possessed immortal abilities, and he wavered about the future of begging for food at the border.

It just so happened that the Marquis's messenger appeared in front of the Sunny Mercenary Regiment.

The green wolf muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Once and for all." ”

He looked at the stranger in front of him who looked at them with a frightened expression, his brows furrowed slightly, and the life of licking blood from the knife edge for many years gave him an intuition that was almost a miracle, and the stranger in front of him gave him a very bad feeling.

The green wolf said in a deep voice to the deputy head of the regiment, the young man with the pseudonym White Wolf, who was walking in front: "White Wolf, kill it." ”

The White Wolf is also a pseudonym, a death row inmate who escaped from the city-state of Kather, a perverted, homicidal, and life-threatening madman.

As long as such a person can control it, it is better to be the deputy head of the regiment, young and ruthless, blocking the front.

Hearing this, the white wolf's eyes flashed, he didn't make any extra movements, he stepped out, and the steel knife in his hand went directly to the stranger's head.

A frenzied look flashed across his face, and he was going to split this player in half!

The green wolf raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the mercenary with a bow and crossbow behind him was already aiming at the young stranger. Just before the steel knife fell, the white wolf's face turned from madness to astonishment, until he fell to the ground with dead fear.

The green wolf not far away was stunned, and his hand waved down heavily.

At that moment, the stranger pulled out a long knife out of nowhere. Before the white wolf could react, a knife directly slashed the steel knife from the white wolf, and the white wolf's steel knife was neatly cut off, along with the severed one, as well as his head.

Time seemed to slow down on this stranger, and he seemed out of place with his surroundings. The stranger's face turned pale after swinging the knife, and he fell to the ground with a smile on his face.

The green wolf waved his hand and brought a sharp arrow that broke through the air, but the arrow was not shot by the group members behind him, but from the woods! In the rose grove around them, the first bows and arrows were fired to nail the crossbowmen behind him.

Without waiting for a reaction, the second batch of sharp arrows has arrived. They easily pierced the wolf's breastplate, penetrating his body, turning the wolf into a dying hedgehog.

The green wolf fell to the ground hard, and he listened to the screams and whistling arrows in his ears, and his consciousness began to blur, and he knew that he was going to die.

He remembered the young stranger, and he was absolutely not mistaken, when the stranger slashed at him, the stranger completed a series of actions from drawing the knife to killing the person, and he had several times more time than the white wolf!

He was absolutely not mistaken!

It's a pity that it's too late now.

A series of footsteps came from his ears, and one of them stopped in front of him. A typical somewhat thin Oriental face appeared in the green wolf's somewhat blackened vision, and the middle-aged man looked at the green wolf lying on the ground with a smile, and wiped his eyes with his rough calloused hands.

The middle-aged man smiled: "Green wolf, long time no see." ”

"Zhongzheng... Yu..."

It turned out to be you.

The green wolf only felt that boundless darkness had descended.

Fall to death.
