Chapter Twenty-Nine: Crimson Ruins
The cold wind was cold, and the mercenaries, who were covered in sweat after a battle, couldn't help but shiver when they stopped fighting at this time, and everyone held their breath and waited for the end of the goblin patriarch.
In the silence of the cave, only the sound of the liquid slowly condensing into ice and the sound of the goblin patriarch struggling and wheezing could be heard, but unfortunately, its movements became slower and slower, and the sound of ice breaking could be heard in every part of its body.
Over there, Hawke, who was holding the big sword in both hands, stared at the goblin patriarch in the battlefield with his eyes, his eyes were full of strong killing intent, if he wasn't still being watched by Karui, it is estimated that he would want to rush up and slash the goblin patriarch at this time.
In the end, the goblin patriarch stayed completely in place, did not move, and seemed to be really frozen.
Without waiting for Fiona to speak, suddenly a petite figure rushed out of the crowd, holding a sword and shield in his hand, and rushed towards the goblin patriarch.
Fiona: "Be careful! ”
However, her reminder was still a little late, and the still goblin patriarch, when the petite figure came to her side, suddenly moved again, and the huge shield did not attack people at the first time, but smashed on herself.
The heavy armor cracked inch by inch, and the blood condensed in the armor was also shattered, and in a very short time, the goblin patriarch took advantage of the rupture of his armor in exchange for his own freedom of movement.
The huge spiked shield fell towards the small figure, and the latter hurriedly raised the sword and shield in his hand to block, but obviously this was not a force she could block, just the moment of contact, she knelt directly on her knees.
Fortunately, at this time, Hawke, who was immediately behind, had also arrived, and the giant sword held the goblin patriarch's shield diagonally, which was able to save the little guy.
Hawke: "Stand back, this is the battlefield for adults." ”
The little guy snorted coldly, obviously unconvinced, but she also knew that this was not something she could deal with, so she quickly retreated.
As soon as she withdrew from the battlefield, she was caught off guard and was torn off from behind the scarf she covered her face to hide her identity.
Fiona: "Kaiara? Why did you get here? It's dangerous here, so hurry to Captain Aidan. ”
Kaiyala, whose identity was revealed, smiled and said embarrassedly: "Fiona, I also want to help, I want to be a warrior like you, kill the enemy with you, I killed a lot of goblins just now." ”
"Nonsense!"
Fiona scolded angrily and wanted to send her to Adam, but when she looked up, the battle with the goblin patriarch had already begun, and everyone was in a bitter battle, and she really shouldn't leave the battlefield at this time.
"You immediately go to Captain Aidan's side and stay well, otherwise you won't want to go on missions with us in the future."
After letting go of the harsh words, Fiona also took the relatively intact shield from her hand and rushed into the battlefield.
Although the goblin patriarch who took off his armor plummeted, but then its speed also became extremely fast, raising the two huge spiked shields in his hands, in a short period of time, there were already two more mercenaries smashed into the corner by it, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Although Hawke really wanted to fight the goblin patriarch head-on, but after the other party became faster, he no longer entangled with him, just like Fiona and they knew to clean up the ordinary goblins first, and the current goblin patriarch stared at the weaker or injured among them to attack, and wanted to reduce their combat effectiveness in the fastest time.
Hawke was angry now and had nowhere to go, so he could only shout for the others to stop the goblin patriarch while chasing after him with a giant sword.
Seeing that he really couldn't catch up, Hawke simply stopped, turned his head to look at Lista, who was still looking for an opportunity, and shouted: "Brother! Catch up with it, as soon as you make it stop, I'll slash it with a sword in no time! ”
Hawke also knew that among the people present, there was probably no one who was faster than Lista's instantaneous speed.
Lista's brows furrowed slightly, but his body also moved, even if the pain in his feet was getting worse now, but now he could only continue to persevere.
At the moment when the goblin patriarch raised his large shield and smashed it down on a mercenary, Lista had already come to it, no longer seeking a one-hit kill, but directly nailed it to his feet with his twin swords.
The goblin patriarch was in pain, and there was a momentary pause, and in an instant, a javelin flew from a distance, nailing directly to the other foot.
The goblin clan elder screamed and tried to break free, but at this moment Fiona also rushed over and smashed her shield as a hammer on the javelin, which pierced the soles of her feet and stabbed deep into the ground.
More and more attacks came, and the goblin patriarch's shield could no longer be stopped, and in a fit of rage, it used all its strength to raise its twin shields and smash them down, even if it was dead, it had to pull Lista and Fiona on their backs.
At the critical moment, Karui rushed over and directly supported the spiked shield with both hands, the sharp spikes instantly pierced his palm, and blood flowed down his arm, but he did not back down half a step, and used the strength of his whole body to lift the shield violently.
"Hawke! What are you waiting for! ”
Fiona shouted, as soon as the words fell, she felt a gust of wind coming from behind her, and when she looked up, she saw Hawke jumping up, raising her big sword and cutting it down, a huge sound of breaking the air sounded in the ice valley, and where the giant sword swung was already a vague phantom, but in an instant, the goblin patriarch had been cut open from the middle, and the body fell in half from both sides.
When the battle ended, Lista and Fiona sat down on the ground with their tired butts gasping for breath, Karui himself dragged his bleeding hands towards Ellis, and the other mercenaries all sat down, some bandaging each other, and some seizing all the time to rest.
Kaiyala, who had just been driven to Aidan's side, was now a member of the support team, helping to take care of the wounded while cleaning up the battlefield to see if there were any missing enemies.
She really hopes to meet one or two fish that slip through the net, so that she can also use her fists and kicks, Fiona didn't see it when she fought before, she must prove to Fiona that although she was only arranged to be stationed in the mercenary group office, but now that the mercenary group fighters are sparse, she can also become a member of the warriors, and she can fight side by side with others.
It's a pity that after walking through the battlefield, there are no other living creatures except mercenaries, and her careful thinking can only be in vain.
However, when she walked to the corpse of the goblin patriarch, she suddenly saw a scroll-like thing suddenly fall out of the other party's corpse, she picked it up and opened it to look at it, but she couldn't understand what was written on it.
But this scene happened to be seen by Fiona not far away, she immediately got up and walked over, took the scroll and looked at it, after a while, her brows furrowed, she couldn't understand the content on the scroll, but she remembered that this kind of text had been seen before, this was the text of the demon race.
Not daring to delay, Fiona immediately came to Deyun's side with the scroll and handed it over.
Deyun: "What is this?" Got it from the goblin matriarch? ”
When he saw the familiar words on the scroll, Deyun immediately thought of the previous documents.
Deyun: "Oh my God, it turns out that there is more than one book. Captain Aidan, can you translate the contents of this order for us, maybe it hides the next action of the demons. ”
Ai Dan took the paperwork and said in a deep voice, "I'll take a look at it first." ”
Adan carefully watched the contents of the paperwork, this time the translation took longer than before, and Aidan's brows became more and more wrinkled.
Adan: "If what is written here is true, then ...... The goblins will be in the Ice Valley. ”
Deyun: "What? ”
For this sentence, Deyun still hasn't fully understood, after all, these people are in the Ice Valley Goblin Gathering Area, and they have just experienced a big battle to destroy all the goblins.
Edan sighed slightly, and continued: "It is written here that all the goblins in the area near the ice valley will gather in the ice valley and prepare for a large-scale battle. The planned gathering time above is today, and it seems that a large number of goblins are already on their way to the Ice Valley at this time. ”
As soon as these words came out, Deyun and Fiona were shocked.
Deyun: "Oh my God, if this is true, we can't delay any longer, we must eradicate them before they gather, although I will submit the report to Rochester, but the time is so tight, it is estimated that there will be no support......"
Deyun looked at Aidan, although she didn't want to do this either, but so far, there was only this way.
Deyun: "Let's use the power of your mercenary group again." ”
After the battle just now, the mercenary group has been seriously killed and wounded, and the rest of the people are also exhausted and scarred, in this case, everyone knows what the outcome will be if they continue to face a brutal battle.
Marley: "Bastard! You're sending the mercenary group to death! We've done what we need to do, so it's time for the Knights to take over! Don't they claim to protect all the people of Rochester? Aren't the mercenary groups the people of Rochester? ”
Ma Li covered his freshly bandaged chest and vented angrily towards De Yun, originally he didn't agree to let the mercenary group go out in advance, and now De Yun actually wanted to let this group of mercenaries who had survived so hard to send them to death, how could he agree.
Deyun was bitter for a while, how could she want to see everyone die? But if you really go back and wait for the Knights to come to your aid, if the goblins gather and attack the humans, how can those unarmed civilians resist it?
Deyun: "Marley, I ......"
Adan: "Needless to say, Marley, you take a few men and bring the seriously injured and sacrificed companions back to Kuhan, so that they can be rehabilitated." Others, join me in stopping the incoming army of goblins. ”
Marley: "Captain! How can you ......"
Adan: "Obey orders!" ”
Aidan's gaze swept over all the mercenaries on the battlefield, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable sadness.
"Behind us is Kuhan, we can't retreat, it's just ......"
It's just that this group of heroic warriors suffered.
