214. Into the night
Things turned out to be exactly what Lanne had planned.
These bandits, after seeing that there is only one person in the battle, the advantage of numbers will bring courage.
They ignored the ronin members who rushed towards the ferry, trying to concentrate their efforts and take out the big man who seemed to be bluffing first.
After all, in their common sense, dozens of people against one person, the entanglement can be over in just a few seconds.
But wait for the witcher to start wielding his sword.
The sheer strength beyond ordinary people, combined with Arondaite's razor-sharp tenacity, can cause far more damage than these people can imagine!
"Huh!"
With one-to-many, the magic runes on the Sword of the Lake Maiden that rely on swings to accumulate power have barely dimmed!
The magic runes on the surface of the sword left a halo in the air.
Lan En rushed straight into the bandits.
Seeing this, these thugs, who had not seen blood for a long time, excitedly sent the weapons in their hands to Lan En's body.
But with a flash of golden sword light, all the weapons were neatly broken.
The wooden shaft of a spear, the handle of a two-handed axe, the blade of a katana. The fracture that surrounded Lan En even showed a sleek arc!
The Sword of the Lake Maiden is a god-made armor, and its sharpness and tenacity, Lan En has not yet encountered anything comparable to it.
And now, this group of Dongying bandits wearing rudimentary armor is completely incomparable with a Western hoplite knight who has thrown out a lot of money and is talented!
The first sword cut off the weapon, and his footsteps rushed to the ground, moving forward.
The scope of the second sword already covers the human body!
It's still the widest swing.
This kind of superficial attack intent is obvious even to the bandits.
There are even a few who have a good reaction speed, and have already subconsciously blocked the broken weapon in the path of the blade.
But then, the slightly relieved expressions on these people's faces disappeared like droplets of water on a hot pan.
Because after their first reaction to emergency defense, they immediately realized a problem -
If their weapons can block it, then the opponent's first sword should be ineffective!
The sudden panicked look met the calm cat's eyes of the witcher.
The studded leather gloves and the hilt of the sword clenched suddenly! The golden light on the sword has been brilliant to the limit!
[Slash Charge] - Nine Floors!
And the next sword. The slash power will be doubled!
The path of light flashed, and a sweep seemed unobstructed.
Rudimentary armor, broken weapons, fragile human bodies
The sword of the Lake Maiden stopped again, and it was already on the other side of the row of bandits. Its golden glow had vanished after the sword.
And after this sword, the sound of sparse lala landing sounded.
It was a piece of human flesh, the sudden movement of smashing on the blood-soaked mud floor.
There were eight bandits who came to besiege Lan and wanted to make him a hedgehog.
Because there were too many people to stand, there were three people who crowded behind and stabbed with spears.
And the magic on the sword of the lake girl was completely charged, and after sweeping with golden light, the eight people in front of him became sixteen.
The three people in the distance were just cut into their chests and abdomen by the blade because of the length of the blade, cutting a large hole enough to be stuffed into the sea bowl.
There are still a lot of bandits rushing towards Lan En, but because of the initial position, they can't squeeze into the first wave.
But their vicious urge to see blood drove them to rush forward with a scream.
And all these actions came to an abrupt end after the sword just now, as if pressing the pause button.
On the blood-soaked mud floor, the stump that still retained consciousness was screaming and writhing.
The three people who had been cut open in the chest and abdomen fell to their knees with pale faces due to the huge amount of blood loss, and they saw that they had no strength to raise their hands.
The small bandit group of forty people lost eleven people in one photo.
And the 'man' who caused all this?
He just swung two swords.
"Yes, is it [Juggernaut]?!"
The bandits, who were stunned on the way to charge, screamed with trembling lips.
"Is it Reed's Ichishin!"
Fear makes people cold and difficult to move. It also makes people dizzy, and they can't even tell the difference between the old and the young, the Eastern armor and the Western armor.
So Lan En could see that the main muscles of their torso were trying to mobilize their leg muscles, but those two legs were like rooted, and they couldn't move on the ground.
Lan could understand their feelings.
After all, in one face-to-face time, more than a quarter of the forty people were defeated.
The limbs of those people were still piled up on the floor like the back kitchen of a restaurant with poor hygiene.
They should be afraid.
And after the first and most shocking wave of fear, they take it for granted that they recall the instincts of living beings.
Run away.
"Boat" A thief opened his head with trembling lips, "Hurry up and start the ship!" ”
So a group of bloodthirsty bandits rushed in the direction of the ferry.
But in the direction of the ferry, a group of ronin, which they didn't care about at first, had already cleared the scattered enemies and guarded the formation.
"Hold the line!" Kotaro opened his bow and arrows at this time, and his face was distorted by the roar.
"They are a rout! There is only one wave of momentum! ”
Kotaro could see clearly that some of these people had even lost their weapons and armor in order to run faster as they fled away from Lanen.
And when they turned their heads again, they found that if they wanted to get on the ship, they were indispensable for weapons and equipment.
Because the people who took off their gear were the fastest runners, they crashed into the Ronin's defense at the front of the crowd.
There was no suspense, and he was slaughtered immediately.
The armed bandits behind tried to rush forward, but the spears and axe blades could only be slashed at the corpses of their comrades.
The more panicked, the more chaotic the more panicked.
Eventually, Lan and the Ronin squeezed them in the middle, and then wiped them all out with knives and bows and arrows.
Just like Len's plan, no one escaped.
"My lord, what do we do next?"
The ronins are mending the bandits on the ground, and Kotaro asks beside Lan En.
At this time, Lan En was picking up a short bow used by the bandits and looking at it.
Due to the lack of materials to make recurved bows, the power of the short bow was very poor, and the effect of battlefield armor-piercing could only be achieved by extending the length of the bow arm to more than two meters.
And the craftsmanship of this short bow doesn't look like an ordinary bandit can have.
Lanne's initial assumption was right, someone had 'funded' the bandits.
The quality of the bandits dictates that it is impossible for them to act as the subject of the plan. And now, even the bandits are ready to cross the river, so it means .
The witcher's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Get on the boat, and burn the rest of the boat when it's full."
After giving the order, Lan En's gaze followed the flowing Longquan River downstream.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the river was reflected like fire and blood.
"I hope Hiratanoso lasts a little longer."
