"The mercenaries still lack something, and it seems that they need to know what it means to be ordered and forbidden. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"
Edward frowned, his gaze swept over the guy who had let go of the bowstring first, it was not a good time to intervene at this time, after all, the other party's manpower had not been too much attrition.
The people in that convoy, or the way they used to conceal themselves, were a bit stupid, but they were obviously absolutely top-notch in terms of force, and there was a good mage in the vehicle, and if there were no surprises, this ambush might not be able to please them. But now it takes a lot of effort to intervene on their side, and at least it is a trouble to stop them when the number of people on the other side is retreating.
The explosion is over.
The guy who was caught off guard by this surprise attack is now waking up like a dream. They hurriedly turned their heads, noticing that there were dozens of knights a few hundred feet behind them, their longbows being drawn with a creaking sound, and then with a neat buzz, a rain of arrows poured over their heads!
Rain of fire, to be exact.
A particularly unlucky fellow was hit head-on, and with a bang, his body was thrown five or six feet high, and then slammed into the ground!
"Fireball...... No, what kind of spell is this? Exploding arrows?"
"Oh my God, how many mages do they have, no. They're all magic archers!"
"Hurry up, spell invalid enchantment......"
"Still talking nonsense, kill them!"
"Kill them! Second group, you go!"
The attackers were sending mixed messages. The green glow of the protective arrows also spread around them, and then there was a faint green ball of light - it was a secondary spell void enchantment, although it was a little weaker, but it was easy to cast, and it was also enough to defend against the attacks of the three-ring magic, that is, the fireball spell.
The total number of people in the two major illusions has exceeded ninety, plus the original ambush near the wood. And the people who chased them out of the forest road have exceeded 100 people, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, so although the original advantage is gone. knows that they have no hope of achieving their goals, but some shortcomings in human nature, the psychology of luck, still make them finally choose the wrong way.
They hesitated, and then split up half of them. Actually tried to divide the troops to resist!
After all, in their opinion, although there are a lot of these guys who don't know their origins, they may not necessarily be strong, and some people are sent to entangle them. You can still complete the task yourself......
The idea can't be considered a big mistake, if it was really the fireball technique that attacked them. Or a burst arrow.
Of course, there weren't that many mages or archers among the half-elves—the only ones that made the explosion were arrows tied to a powder cartridge.
This kind of copper oxide powder gunpowder is newly made in the last two days, and the explosive power is twice as strong as ordinary earth gunpowder, but the actual effect is not very large, the power of the longbow is limited, and the weight of the gunpowder bag that can be brought is two or three ounces, and no matter how much it can't fly at all.
However, there is a problem here, and that is that it is not a form of magic.
So the caster of the protective spell was opened at the first time. It was also bad luck at the first time.
An arrow trembled slightly in front of him, deprived of all kinetic energy by the force field of the protective arrow, and fell softly, but before the caster could breathe a sigh of relief, the lead had already completed its heavy task, and in the explosion, the pieces of iron scattered in the cartridge shot out blood flowers on the caster's head and face!
The casualties did not attract the attention they deserved...... In the rumbling roar and the rising white smoke, whether it was screams or blood flowers, it was too faint.
There weren't any of the casualties, after all, these guys were quite experienced...... At least they knew how to spread the charge as much as possible to avoid the opponent's large-scale magic, and at the same time held their shields high and tried to defend against the enemy's arrow rain, but the continuous explosions had quickly reduced their morale to nothingness, and the dense smoke mixed with the pungent smell of saltpeter burning made them choke and cry, and the consequences of the spell invalidity barrier being broken also made them extremely frightened, suspecting that the other party was using a higher level of magic.
They had gathered for the attack, and all their equipment was used for one target, but now they were caught in the dilemma of being attacked from inside and outside, and their morale was of course gone.
And the final charge turned out to be in vain - large swaths of dark and dreary things were thrown out by their opponents...... He didn't make any aiming, just spread the space in front of him evenly with a uniform motion, but it was a terrible steel sprinkling! The tip was more than two inches long, or it was not guaranteed to be fatal, but it was enough to make the person who stepped on it disabled!
When this thing is laid on the ground, it becomes extremely difficult to get close to them.
As for escaping......
They were quick to escape, and it was just as difficult to escape, and the arrows of the half-elves were almost the scythes of death for those who were in a hurry to escape and were exposed. As soon as they left the battlefield, the arrows would tear open their necks and pierce their chests, as if they had been blessed with the evasive moves of the Acceleration, and the broad vulture shields and the well-made leather armor were nothing more than decorations!
What's more, the gap between infantry and cavalry will always be very obvious when evacuating.
The battle soon came to an end.
Life was harvested little by little in the screams. This is no longer a battle, but a painful killing.
Edward stretched out his hand and popped out five crackling balls of electricity, and the five men fell down screaming, convulsing - at the beginning of the battle, he didn't have the slightest intention of interfering in order to train the team, but by this time it was already possible to make a quick decision.
I have to say that the other party's ambush has cost a lot of money. Among the enemies of less than 100 people, there were six spellcasters, and three of them were mages, all of whom were at least at the level of the second ring, and there were many scrolls in their hands. There is also a priest who is rare to find, his purple-black robe and the hideous mace in his hand are definitely not a good thing, but they are indeed popular figures for the mercenary group of cameo bandits and assassins.
Of course, Edward welcomed them as well...... Welcome to them, the magical instruments that shimmer with a faint sheen.
In addition to that, the armor and weapons on these ambushers are pretty good things. For Burgundy, which doesn't produce steel and doesn't even have a blacksmith, it's quite a good material for armor, and there are dozens of crossbows. It's not as good as some of Edward's previous collections, but it's a lot of good.
After four or five rounds of arrows, the battlefield was gradually cleared.
More than half of the ambushers had fallen, and the rest were facing the shadow of death, and the half-elves continued to disperse. The final sniping was taking place, and on the other side, the escaped attackers were gathering, and the guards had nothing to worry about. All they had to do was stare at the scenery in front of them. Gently inhaling the cold air, and even involuntarily touching his neck.
This process continues until all enemies are annihilated.
"Thank you for your generosity. "The beautiful lady with her blue hair and eyes stood out from the crowd. Raised voice.
It was a word of thanks, but her beautiful eyebrows were now slightly furrowed, staring at the sudden reinforcements on the other side with a puzzled and wary gaze. It's like confirming whether they're friend or foe.
"Just be kind and forgive me, I saved your life, according to the rules of the Tao, at least three thousand gold coins are needed, and we have put down a hundred people, according to the rules, you can add two thousand more gold coins." Edward interrupted her with a loud voice: "If you don't have cash, you can use hard currency or physical goods!"
"What?" the girl raised her eyebrows.
She did not ride a horse, but her figure was erect, and she looked extraordinarily long, her chin raised when she looked at people, and her gaze was like that of a man. This made her beautiful with a rare heroic temperament, and her voice was also sweet mixed with a bit of fortitude: "What does this mean? You are also robbers, if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, then you have found the wrong target!"
"Hey, do you have the attitude you should have towards a savior?" the telemancer squinted at her, his voice tinged with disdain, "We are the messengers of justice, and when we see injustice, we draw our swords to help, can't we even receive a little reward?"
"Don't be rude. The sound of an urn joined the conversation, and then a heavily armed figure stepped out of the carriage.
Edward's eyes narrowed.
It was a beautiful and delicate full-body armor that encased the human body in rows of armor from head to foot, the dull metallic color was inconspicuous, but the craftsmanship was fine enough to make this armor a work of art...... As for Edward's eyes, the blinding magical glow almost made it difficult for him to see the essence, and he had to temporarily adjust his vision. so as not to affect the action.
However, it was somewhat unexpected that this armor like a god costume was supported by a short figure, and when he stepped out of the car door, he also took off his helmet. showed a blond hair, a fair face, smart eyes, and looked full of juvenile childishness, just a slightly frowning brow, looking a little mature - the kind of expression that people can see at a glance and forcibly pretend to be.
"Thank you for your generosity, your ...... for justice," he nodded slightly to Edward.
But it was soon interrupted by a very unfigurative one. "I said it, politely excuse me, take the money out!" Edward's expression remained unchanged. The tone also remains the same.
The statement of "this ......" suddenly made the child a little overwhelmed, he was afraid that he had never met such a direct person in his life, and this kind of naked trading tone.
5,000 gold coins...... Hiring a group of mercenaries of this ability to carry out a mission usually only requires one-tenth of the price, not to mention how could these characters who were obviously on the run carry so much cash?
But it's not like they can't take it out, at least the armor and sword on that girl's body should exceed this value, and the little ghost's body should be worth more.
"You...... You are also a messenger of justice, and what difference do you do from that of robbers!" the girl exclaimed again. Anger cast a beautiful blush over her face. But in exchange for the man's unashamed answer.
"Oh, the difference is that we saved you, and we saved you very soon, if only later. Then maybe something will happen. The Psychic Warlock said smugly.
This **naked threat made everyone's faces change, and indeed as he said, if they wait for a while, even if they can win these ambushers, they will inevitably suffer some losses, and even depending on the preparation of these people, they may be completely wiped out...... What's more, these people in front of them are also undecided. And if it them off?
The battle scene just now was in everyone's eyes, and the arrows that were able to explode were really impressive after completely restraining the spell invalidity enchantment and protective arrows. If the opponent turns his face and makes a move now, they may not be able to bargain, after all, the opponent can do it from near and far, and almost all of them have mounts, but they have some scruples. It is impossible to abandon the carriage, and if the opponent keeps a distance and throws that kind of arrow, even the most powerful girl may not be able to see it well.
Even now, actually. They were already stretched thin, and the dead horses and horses in the attack made it seem like they had to abandon both cars. If the other party really entangles them. Being chased by the pursuers behind caused a problem that cannot be described as a loss.
"We can't afford that amount of money right now. But I can assure you in the name of the Lane family. We will definitely be able to pay it back. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a viscount, but I remember that there are no nobles in the laws of the empire who can pay their debts, and you should take the initiative to follow the rules, right?" Edward's gaze swept over the pretty little face, and said casually, "However, why are there so many viscounts in the kingdom now?"
This sentence is not a joke, but a feeling, in fact, the people he seems to have met these days are almost all of them this title - the son of the Golden Pelican family, Tiberius of the Empire, and the little Blackhawk two days ago, although there may be some subtle differences in rank...... Even he himself was on this title.
However, this unintentional remark made the other party's face change, after all, it sounded like he was sarcastic that he was too young,
"As I said, all hard currencies, anything, as long as they can be converted into money. ”
Edward raised his eyebrows, in fact, they have taken advantage of this matter, whether these people pay or not, in fact, he can't go too far, although it is not impossible to kill people and seize treasures, but after all, these half-elves are not really going to come out and fall into the grass, and they are bound by the teachings of the goddess, and they may be acceptable to kill some robbers, so it is not okay to attack the so-called innocent.
"So, gentlemen, what if I hire you, how much will it cost?"
"Pretty smart, huh?" Edward blinked. It's actually a good idea, and in this case, it's the best.
"As long as you can bring us to Romante, we can pay anything. It doesn't matter if it's five thousand or ten thousand gold coins. The child blinked his eyes and said as if he didn't care: "Although it is a little far, but with your ability, this distance of three or four hundred miles is still very easy, not to mention, the more you move forward, the less chance the other party will have to make a move." ”
"Ryan...... Oh, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that your territory has been attacked by Blackhawk, right?, do you want to go to the king to complain?" The psychic squinted, "Do you think that when the empire is under attack, your majesty will help you to deal with the Black Eagle family, his main source of scouts?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed. The air fell silent for a moment. In fact, it was because of this that Blackhawk had no fear, and casually found an excuse to take the earl's domain for himself, they were not unaware of the problem, but appealing to the king was already their only way out.
Click.
The brief silence was interrupted by a piercing cracking sound!
The woman's figure is no longer there!
One moment he was standing next to the carriage, the next he was standing in front of Edward's horse, and one rolled over, and she had jumped onto the horse, grabbing his staff-holding hand with one hand, and the sword in the other hand resting on his neck!
Then she smiled smugly and shouted at the half-elves, "Don't move!
It must be said that this raid was a success.
If psychic abilities aren't activated.
The latter's eyes were in a trance...... And then Qingming. Only to see that all the half-elves had strange expressions—they looked at her with a sarcastic smile, as if she had said something particularly stupid.
That expression made the girl furious, and she moved the blade of her sword, intending to leave a bloody wound on the caster's neck to make his men more cooperative, but then she found that the blade had slashed through the opponent's neck without encountering a trace of resistance, and the other party was still standing there, a mocking smile on the corner of her pale mouth, as if she had known that she could not help herself.
Could it be an illusion? But when the illusion is attacked, shouldn't it dissolve automatically?
The girl woke up.
But a little later, a cold feeling spread through her neck, and her beautiful eyes widened, and she found that a hand had reached out from under her armpit, and touched her neck as if it had suddenly appeared in the air!
But it seemed to others that the young lady was jumping into the saddle...... He sat directly in front of the black-robed man, and waved his sword a few times in the space.
This ridiculous action was puzzling, but the black-robed man unhurriedly drew his sword from his robe and restrained her with ease.
It's like she's sent to someone else as a hostage. (To be continued......)
