Chapter 12: The Fierce Battle of the Red-Eyed Crowd

It's almost home at last! Shinsei led the troops forward. Lilisa's farm was already faintly visible in front of him. At this moment, Masamu suddenly felt a fluster, and he seemed to hear Lilisa calling him. I need to hurry, I can't help but speed up. Don't let anything happen! I really think about it. Just as Masei was thinking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the road behind.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Makoto walked on the far side of the road with his head down. Now he doesn't want to get into trouble. But the heavily armed troops that followed him were extremely eye-catching.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was approaching. Maseung clenched his hands and continued walking. Finally, he still met this group of horseback riders, after all, this group of people and horses were originally for the truth.

"Stop!" A rough voice called out to Makoto. Makoto raised his head and looked at the owner of the voice. I saw a few people with fierce faces and fierce eyes staring straight at Zhencheng and the troops behind him.

"Boy, I'll ask you something. Did you see a particularly dazzling light just now? Out of this group came a sword-faced man in cloth armor. The big man showed a hypocritical smile on his face.

"No," Masai replied decisively.

"Oh, really?" The big man looked at Zhencheng, and he looked at the soldiers behind Zhencheng with some fear. Then the big man asked, "Young man, where are you from?" You don't look like a local. ”

"Well, I'm not." Zhencheng replied casually, thinking to himself, mind your. He just wanted to get to Lilisa now.

"Oh roar" The big man responded, and his eyes glanced sharply at Zhencheng's money bag. He grinned slightly, revealing a wicked grin. said: "Little brother, our brothers have walked a long way, and we are very tired all the way, and we don't have any money left. Can you lend us some silver? ”

After Dahan asked, Zhencheng was silent. While the big man was looking at Zhencheng, Zhencheng was also observing the big man and his team. Makomi found that the team was equipped with a variety of weapons from top to bottom. And at the rear of this wagon of horses were several trailer-style cells. Inside, there were some women and children dressed in tatters.

"Don't trust them, they're robbers! Please save my child! A woman suddenly shouted hoarsely to Mako, pushing a young girl to the front of the cage as she spoke. Obviously, she regarded Zhencheng as a nobleman who came out to play, and for her now, Zhencheng was the only one who could save them.

"Go back! Slut! "One of the bandits in the team got impatient, and kicked the woman in the stomach and threw her back into the cage along with the little girl." What a conversation with him! Top dog! The bandit drew the long knife at his waist and rode towards Mako.

At the same time as he walked towards Zhencheng, the sword and shield soldier behind Zhencheng also drew his long sword and raised his shield to protect Zhencheng. This is! There is even an automatic guardian mechanism. This is very similar to the one in 'strife'. Makomi watched the swordsman's move with some shock, remembering the scene in the game where the soldier maintained the main control unit. Now you are like the main control unit.

"Phew!" The bandit spat out a mouthful of miscellaneous phlegm and rode his horse to face Shinseong. At this time, the sword and shield soldier also began to act, only to see him raise a shield in his left hand to protect his head, and steadily catch the oncoming knife of the bandit. Then he turned sideways and stabbed the bandit in the abdomen with the sword in his hand. The stabbed bandit instantly flipped on his back, fell to the ground and screamed repeatedly. Seeing this situation, the remaining bandits were amazed, and they all drew their swords and pointed at each other with sharp blades against the sword and shield soldiers.

Seeing the fallen bandit twisting in pain like a dehydrated loach, and the blood gushing out of his abdomen, Masei felt a wave of nausea in his stomach. After all, it was the first time he had watched humans fight so closely. But there was no time left for him to calm down, and now he was still in danger. Shinseung summoned the conscription interface again, and seized the time to summon more warriors.

"Phew! Little mongrel! With a guard, he must be a rich kid. Give it to me! tied him up and blackmailed his family for money! Avenge your brother! The sword and shield soldier's actions just now stimulated the big man, and he put away his hypocritical smile and revealed a hideous face.

But in the next second, several bright lights flickered on the grassland again. All the people who were stabbed couldn't open their eyes. When the light faded away, what happened next made all the bandits' eyes widen and their mouths wide.

I saw that around Zhencheng, there were several more sword and shield soldiers at some point. These warriors, dressed in silver armor and holding swords and shields, escorted Maseung's side. With their protection, Makomi breathed a sigh of relief. I was too nervous just now, and I didn't have time to deploy the lineup, so I summoned a bunch of sword and shield soldiers at once.

I don't have time to think about it that much now. Masei looked at the fierce bandits on the opposite side and began to calculate the combat power of both sides. On the bandits' side, Zhencheng estimated that there should be about 20 people. And his side has just summoned 7 sword and shield soldiers, plus the 10 sword and shield soldiers and 5 short bow hunters originally brought from Levi, Zhencheng has an advantage in numbers. However, the opponent is riding a horse and is much more mobile than his own. Should summon a few more shortbow hunters, Masei slapped his forehead and thought with a little regret. He still has 8 summoned people in his hands now, and he doesn't dare to use them casually.

Facing the sudden arrival of soldiers, the bandits' side was slightly stunned, the appearance of these sword and shield soldiers was unexpected to them. But they're all ruthless people who lick blood with the tip of a knife. Now that the leader has spoken, they have to bite the bullet. Shouts and shouts rang out one after another, and the bandits collectively launched a charge towards Zhencheng's troops. On Zhencheng's side, the sword and shield soldiers also lined up in formation, ready to fight.

With the roar and the sound of horses' hooves, the Sword and Shield Corps fought with the bandits. In the moment when the two sides first came into contact, five bandits were cut off their horses by the sword and shield soldiers. But immediately after that, the bandits rushed on horseback, and with the force of the impact, they knocked several sword and shield soldiers away, saving their comrades who had been cut off their horses. This gang of bandits is very cooperative, and at a glance, you can tell that they have experienced a lot of fighting and fighting together.

The bandits took turns in battle, and with the advantage of horses, they quickly disrupted the sword and shield army phalanx of Zhencheng. At this moment, I heard an angry roar in the distance, and the sword-faced man of the bandit leader joined the battle with a double-sided heavy axe in his hand.

Dahan wielded a double-sided battle axe to break away the two sword and shield soldiers who were in the way, and walked straight towards Zhencheng with a murderous aura. "I didn't expect you to be able to use the same spells as the Ugly Emperor! No matter what happens today, you're going to have to give me a go! The big man shouted with cracked teeth.

Looking at the big man who was getting closer and closer to him, Zhencheng's nervous legs trembled a little. Unlike facing the Minotaur Troll, this time he is facing a human who can speak and empathize. For a while, Masei couldn't adapt to the psychological burden of killing.

The bandits' side saw that their leader was so heroic, and their morale was also boosted. The bandits roared and slaughtered the sword and shield soldiers, swinging their swords and slashing wildly. Finally, the shield of a sword and shield soldier was overwhelmed and slashed with a knife. Immediately afterwards, the two red-eyed bandits stabbed him to the ground. After being stabbed several times, the sword and shield soldier lost his ability to move, and collapsed on the ground into countless points of light that floated into the air and disappeared with the wind.

After the sword and shield soldier disappeared, a new light flickered on the grassland. The recruit button pressed by Maseung summoned a new warrior again. As Masei calmed down during the battle, he began to analyze the battle situation, and in his busy schedule, he used the information interface to scout the personal values of the sword-faced man. The overall combat power of the sword-faced man is 950, which is much lower than that of the Minotaur Troll. As long as you take advantage of your ability to summon soldiers, you must ensure that your own number can be suppressed by the enemy no matter what.

Can win! Taking advantage of the bright light to attract the attention of all the bandits, Zhencheng gathered 3 sword and shield soldiers in front of him to stop the bandit man who wanted to rush over, and then his eyes looked at the entire battlefield. Now there are still 14 bandits on the battlefield who can fight, and although most of the sword and shield soldiers on their side are covered in bruises, these summoned soldiers have no feelings, which will not affect their fighting spirit. As long as the sword and shield soldiers die, they can replenish their combat power in time, and they can defeat the bandits with a war of attrition.

Seeing that the bandits' attack momentum had waned, Makoto began to fight back. He ordered the shortbow hunters in the rear to take their bows and pull the strings to aim at the bandits. I heard a whoosh, and sharp arrows flew out. There was an instant scream from the bandit man's side.

The shortbow hunter's sharp arrow plunged deep into the man's shoulder. The painful man took two steps back, no longer continuing to rush forward. Take advantage of your illness to kill you! A rush of blood rushed to Zhencheng's brain, and he ordered the three sword and shield soldiers in front of him to assault the wounded big man, and the shortbow hunter in the rear continued to draw the bow and shoot arrows, not giving the bandit big man a chance to breathe.

For a time, the tide of the war had been reversed. Zhencheng ordered the sword and shield troops to suppress the bandits who wanted to move forward around them, and isolated the bandits in the center and exterminated them first.

"Drink!" When the bandit man saw that he was in a desperate situation, he couldn't help but roar angrily and planned to fight to the death. He swung his heavy axe and set off the wind to slash down, directly splitting a sword and shield soldier in front of him in half from head to toe. If it weren't for the fact that the sword and shield soldiers would turn into points of light after death, otherwise the scene would have been extremely bloody.

At the moment of the death of the sword and shield soldier, Zhencheng hurriedly opened the recruitment interface and summoned a sword and shield soldier to enter again. With another flash of light, a new sword and shield soldier joined the battlefield.

At this moment, many bandits felt despair. Zhencheng's wave of operations gave them the ability to summon endless warriors, and their fighting spirit gradually decayed and dried up.

"How do you win this TM!" Watching his companions fall one after another, a skinny bandit looked a little broken. He threw away his weapon, rode around and fled into the distance. When he fled, there were only 9 living bandits and the encircled bandits left on the battlefield.

The Sword and Shield Corps pressed forward step by step, narrowing the encirclement and attacking the bandits outside. The number of bandits was soon reduced to five. The 5 bandits watched the leader of the big man trapped in a dead circle, and they couldn't rush in. When the Great Han was slain, the rest of them were powerless to fight against the Sword and Shield Corps. The bandits looked at each other a few times, and their expressions were already retreating.

"Little ones!" At this moment, the surrounded bandit man yelled and said, "Don't forget! The rules of the red-eyed crowd! Deserters killed!! With that, the big man swung his heavy axe and struck down with great force, and the attacked swordsman below tried to block with his shield. But the power of the great man was extremely terrifying, and the moment the axe touched the shield, it split the wooden shield embedded with iron to pieces, and the heavy axe power after cutting the shield was still undiminished, and it hung straight down and split the swordsman in half. After the sword and shield soldier was cut down, Shinsei continued to summon new sword and shield soldiers to rush forward to fill the void. The sword and shield soldiers had cold eyes, and they did not feel the slightest fear or sadness at the fall of their companions.

Zhencheng frowned after listening to the sword-faced man's shouting. The Red-Eyed Crowd! It turns out that these guys are the red-eyed people. Masei commanded the shortbow hunter to pull up the bow and arrow, hesitating in his heart whether to leave a mouth alive. After the shortbow hunter attacked the big man just now, this guy had obvious means to be wary of bows and arrows, and from time to time he would raise his giant axe to block the attacks of bows and arrows. This also made Zhencheng admire the sensitivity of this big man very much. But with the attack of five shortbow hunters and the siege of several swordsmen, he didn't know how long he would last.

Outside the encirclement, the remaining five bandits raised their weapons again. They are all mercenary villains, and they don't really work for anything. Seeing that the situation is not good, it is still a matter of life. But Dahan's words just now still alerted them, and it seemed that there was a greater fear that prompted them to continue to pick up the weapons in their hands. After a moment of hesitation, they still chose to fight to the death.

The bandits launched a ferocious attack, but their attacks still could not compete with the sword and shield corps of Zhencheng, and their desperate resistance only bought a moment of respite for the trapped sword-faced man. Soon they were bloodied corpses.

After dealing with the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, Masakoi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He concentrates on fighting the bandit man who is surrounded. As time passed, sword and shield soldiers and shortbow hunters inflicted more and more wounds on the Great Han. Although several fatal injuries were shrewdly avoided by Dahan, as long as he continued to consume like this, when his physical strength was exhausted, sooner or later he would make a mistake.

Shinjo pondered as he replenished the soldiers. He was very cautious about his first human battle in this world.

Sure enough, another fifteen minutes or so passed, and as the shortbow hunter's sharp arrow deflected, an arrow was also shot at the shoulder socket of the other shoulder of the big man. The big man snorted in pain and stepped back, both shoulders already arrowed, and he was no longer able to wield the heavy axe. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sword and shield soldiers in the rear rushed up and stabbed the blade into the back of the big man.

The blade flashed with cold light and pierced through the back of the big man, and then stabbed out of the abdomen, blood gushing out of the big man's mouth, and this mountain-like body finally collapsed from exhaustion after a war of attrition that lasted for nearly half an hour.

Looking at the fallen man, Zhencheng still maintained a cautious attitude. He first sent a few sword and shield soldiers to the big man's side to control the big man's hands and feet, and then ordered the shortbow hunter to take aim at the big man with the bow and string, as long as the big man resisted in the slightest, the shortbow hunter would dig a few more holes in him. After seeing that the knife-faced man was controlled and couldn't move, Zhencheng walked in front of the knife-faced man.

"You're a bare-eyed man?" Shinsei asked.

"What? Scared to hear the daimyo of the red-eyed people? The knife-faced man sneered, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth, and he knew that his life was short.

"Can you tell me about you?" Maseung sat down cross-legged, and after standing for a long time, he was a little tired.

Bah! The knife-faced man coldly spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. Zhencheng hurriedly got up, if it weren't for his agility, he would almost get on himself.

"If you want to force me to confess, dream boy!!" The knife-faced man's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly struggled desperately. For a while, the four sword and shield soldiers couldn't control him.

"Hey, hey! If you can tell me something, maybe I'll let you go and heal your wounds!" Zhencheng hurriedly began to talk about the conditions, and it was clear that he was not very skilled.

The sword-faced man continued to struggle, and he didn't seem to be interested in the conditions of the true inheritance. Drink!! The big man roared angrily, and his muscle circumference skyrocketed. He used all his strength to break free from the control of the sword and shield soldiers, and he picked up the double-sided giant axe on the ground with a roll, ignoring the slashes and stabs of the sword and shield soldiers around him, and quickly approached Zhencheng step by step. Zhencheng was taken aback by the big man's return to light, and hurriedly ordered the shortbow hunters to release the arrows together. With Zhencheng's order, five arrows pierced the big man's chest and pierced the big man's heart. The big man's face was purple, and he leaned forward and fell heavily to the ground. Masei recovered from the shock and cautiously checked forward. He ordered the shortbow hunter to make up a few arrows on the sword-faced man, and ordered the sword and shield soldiers to turn the man over. Seeing that the big man was still not moving, and his huge body was gradually stiffening in the cold wind, Zhencheng was sure that he had really killed the bandit big man.

The battle is over, but at this moment, Makoto has no intention of thinking too much. Facing the bones all over the ground, Zhencheng's heart was beating wildly, and he was still a little frightened.

After resting on the spot for a while, he calmed down and looked at Dahan's corpse. Next to him, there was a strange token that slipped out as he struggled. This token is engraved with a one-eyed coat of arms. Masei picked it up and held it in his hand to observe. According to his guess, this should be the identification token of the red-eyed crowd that Dahan said.

"Help us! Please help us, sir! A few weak calls pulled Shinjo's wandering thoughts back. He pocketed the token and looked at the back of the wagon, the rancid cells filled with women and children.

I don't know if it's because I just finished killing and has a little guilt in my heart. Shinsei released all the people in these cells. Watching these ragged women and children tremble and escape from their cells, they drifted away towards the far part of the grassland. At this moment, Zhencheng's heart got a little comfort.

Suddenly, a thick smell of smoke accompanied by a cold wind blew from behind him. Breathing in the smell of smoke, Maadi looked behind him in confusion and anxiety. I saw that now the rear is like a sea of fire. Not good! That's the direction of Lilisa's house!

Zhencheng was shocked, his face changed drastically, and he quickly turned back towards Lilisa's house. Beside him, the warriors seemed to understand Masei's thoughts, and they rode on the war horses left in the convoy by the bandits, and galloped to Masei's side. Zhencheng didn't have the heart to think about it, so without saying a word, he turned over and got on the horse, and galloped away in the direction of Lilisa's house with a worried expression.

After Zhencheng left, in the last cell of the carriage procession, a girl with short red hair slowly stepped out of the car. Her skin was dull yellow, and she still had marks of whipping in many places, and she looked like she had suffered a lot from prison. The girl stretched out her little hand to brush up the scattered hair, revealing a rather delicate melon seed face. She licked her parched pink lips with her soft and nimble tongue, and her two skinny little feet crossed back and forth in the bloody scene of the fight, exploring the dead bodies in one place. After a while, the girl pulled out a kettle from the corpse of one of the bandits, and she eagerly unscrewed the lid and drank it.

"Ah, comfortable~" After drinking, the girl who was full of water gasped, and sat on a corpse that had not yet frozen, sitting so naturally, as if she was sitting on her own sofa. She never showed any signs of horror the whole time, as if she had become accustomed to everything.

"It's getting more and more interesting~" The girl's voice was crisp and loud, and she found a thick cloth to wrap her whole body and cover her half-exposed, developed round and full breasts. She then stood up and chased in the direction Makoto had left.
