A few steps away, the battle near the gate of Poplar Town did not last long,

With the convenience of the raid, the disguised merchants had already rushed through the city wall - the flatbed carts that blocked the gate were obviously special things, and after blocking the door, as the two sides were pulled down, it became a group of passages, and the more than ten people who originally pulled the cart turned the horses pulling the cart into mounts, and rushed forward, and actually organized a team of light horses, they whistled and rushed through the gate along the wide avenue to charge inward, and the torches thrown along the way soon Aishang Novel Net several black fires!

And the town that was attacked, it seems that at this time it has finally awakened. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

A shrill whistle sounded with the warning, and at the end of the street, several people rushed out of the houses...... More people flocked from the simple wooden castle in the center of town.

They were dressed in messy overalls and gathered on the other side of the street in a panic. And compared to this mess, the light cavalry of the bandit regiment was simply well-trained—they had already reined in their horses and formed a scattered formation after rushing through the gate, as if they did not intend to use their speed advantage, but only watched as the dozens of city guards barely erected a row of tower shields from a few hundred feet away to form a crooked defense.

"Who are you?"

It was a shout from the center of the messy gathering of the garrison—it was a young man dressed in black. The short cotton robe with a silver pattern on the chest marked his identity, a local noble lord—he was clearly not old enough to be a lord. So it's obviously the lord's direct blood relative.

His aristocratic clothes are not gorgeous, but they are well cut, and his body shape is long and elegant, his face can be regarded as handsome, his brown hair is neatly arranged, his eyebrows are high, the bridge of his nose is straight, and only two lips are slightly too thin, although he looks more handsome, but it reveals a little gloomy atmosphere.

"You're the son of the Viscount, I'm Baccarat, but my friends used to call me a crow. ”

Behind the team, a guy on the only tall horse spoke loudly,

It was a tall, unusually muscular horse—nearly half the size of the horses, with a black mane like a smooth satin, evidently characteristic of the purest breeds of horses from the north...... Obviously, even a mixed breed is one of the most direct descendants.

Therefore, the man sitting on the horse was also very different - his body was as thick as a wild bear, his bald head was covered with scars, while the lower half was submerged in a messy beard, and one eye was obscured by a black blindfold - it must be said that in appearance, he was a model of a thief leader. What is even more striking is that his whole body is wrapped in a full-body armor that is rare among mercenaries, reflecting a pitch-black oil in the sun.

If you add the black feather helmet he is holding in his hand, it is simply as majestic as those legendary knights of the kingdom.

Moreover, he seemed to like the majesty - as the words fell, the bandits around him slammed their weapons against shields, armor, or the ground with their weapons, making a heavy, loud crash.

In this kind of wasteland, it is not easy for a group of thieves to get such a momentum...... Not to mention anything else, just the thirty or so horses and the corresponding saddles are enough to make the ordinary grass platform team covet, not to mention that a few leaders are also fully armed with several sets of chain armor and chest armor, which is already a good product that is not inferior to any adventurer......

Even if the horses are just ordinary hybrids, and there are a few long hairs among them, which means that they are just horses pulling carts, but this is indeed quite an advantage compared to the infantry, with the speed and impact of the horses, the attack effect of a warrior can be greatly increased, and these thirty or so horses are enough to break up the gun and shield formation of a hundred or ten ordinary guards even if they charge at the speed of a normal person, not to mention the fifty or so guys in front of them who only have a thin shield.

Therefore, the expressions of these robbers were very calm.

And their opponents seem to be much more wolf-bèi.

In a deserted place like the western frontier of the kingdom, a small town would not have a population of more than two thousand at best, and it was naturally impossible to have too many soldiers to ensure farming, so excluding the fifty or so people who were guarding the city walls and following the young nobleman, it should already be a limit, and their opponents not only surpassed them in number, but were also not inferior in quality— Adventurers may not have been systematically trained, but the tacit understanding is not inferior to that of real soldiers, and they may have sufficient advantages in martial arts.

In fact, it is no longer news in Western Xinjiang that a large number of adventurers attack such small villages and towns, or even kill the lords and occupy the villages and towns—this is also the reason why many small lords and nobles in remote places would rather entrust their territories to some local so-called stewards, and only collect part of the taxes themselves, hiding in the big cities to live a peaceful life.

"I know you, Lord James. Rumored, you are a very ambitious guy, and you have developed your territory well in the past few years...... It's just that the brain doesn't seem to be very good. ”

The bandit leader made a series of hoarse clicks like beating wood, and indeed a bit like the crow's cry - although it was actually a sneer:" Of course, I should thank you for your stupidity, if it weren't for the fact that you let go of the entry and exit restrictions of the city gate and built the road so wide, the master really might not be able to come in so smoothly this time, for the sake of this help, we won't embarrass you and your Lao Tzu too much, as long as Your Excellency the Viscount takes out half of the tax income, we mercenaries can unconditionally take over the defense of your territory, and it is guaranteed to be stronger than your current subordinates...... At the very least, it's guaranteed that people won't be so easily in the center of town. ”

"Sounds like ...... Not bad. The young nobleman hesitated, or weighed the benefits.

And this attitude also boosted the morale of the robbers.

"Now it seems that you are quite knowledgeable about the times!" laughed the leader of the robbers. "Very well, as long as you are obedient, I will arrange for a horse to take you to Dakota City...... Also, I, Baccarat, the Crow, am very generous, and if you don't have a tight mouth enough to talk nonsense, I might consider giving you a little bit of your tax profit...... Well, it's just one kingdom gold coin a year, okay......?"

It's not funny, but it seems to have something to do with the leader's unique hobby, and the bandits start laughing along with it......

"Thank you so much......

The young nobleman's voice suddenly became louder. "Lord Rook Baccarat, huh?"

Glancing at the group of thieves in front of him, he waited for the other party's noise to end: "Actually, I also have a good Jianyì...... I love this armor on you, and if you contribute it to me, I will forgive you a little of your crimes...... How about I see how about you not have to be hung on a wooden frame and tarped, but have your head cut off?"

"Nice joke, little ghost, you think I'm fucking ......"

The reaction of the opponent was clearly unexpected...... So much so that the crow's voice was sluggish...... "** is a kind!" He laughed angrily, and at the same time let out a loud voice of gnashing his teeth: "You think I fuck ...... Are you here to be played around, or do you want to delay me...... Okay, I'll see, how can the ** forgive me!"

"How can I pardon you?, oh, I'd love to explain it to you in detail, but, as Edward used to say, even the music of a legendary poet can't impress a bull. The young man known as Lord James snorted and raised a hand: "And I suspect you are not as good as a cow...... Otherwise, how could you not have noticed that the number of villagers in the town is much smaller today, and the guards on the walls are extraordinarily loose?"

The crow's face changed.

It's not that he didn't notice these things, but the huge advantage made him not think too much about this aspect, and now that his heart is moved, it is easy to notice that the whole town is almost silent except for the hustle and bustle of their group of people - the villagers who used to roam the streets are gone, and the shops on both sides of the street have also been cleared and closed with doors and windows!

This is not the attitude of a town that has been breached by bandits...... What about the screams, the cries, the crowds running in a panic?

And more importantly, where are the brothers who were sent into the village as adventurers in the early days? Didn't they start plundering and creating chaos after setting fire to the village?

Raven Baccarat squeezed the reins of his horse tightly, as a leader of the bandits, he had more experience and good instincts - although he didn't understand what the other party was doing, but a great sense of crisis rose in his heart, even when facing a bipedal wyvern in the most dangerous time of his life...... A premonition of failure.

"Bandits!"

A loud bang erupted overhead...... A glorious figure descended from the sky!

...... Although the height of the jump makes people think that he is about to fly into the sky.

The sun's brilliance seemed to be enhanced several times in an instant, and all the eyes that had followed the figure felt a sharp pain! When the light finally dissipated, a man had appeared in the ranks of the robbers—a not tall warrior, who seemed to be particularly spoiled by the sun, and his body exuded a brilliant luster.

The uninvited guest was immediately greeted with a warm welcome - with a loud curse, a logging axe and two broad-bladed knives beckoned down from different angles, and there was also a short spear on the other side of the stabbing fiercely, which for a time also produced an excellent coordination effect, blocking the surrounding retreat tightly......

However, they probably forgot that since this opponent dared to rush into the battlefield alone, it meant that he had absolute self-confidence.

In the low shout, the flickering luster formed a dazzling trajectory in the air! In front of that ball of light, the three weapons were not broken, but were shattered like ice crystals! The terrifying force pressed a ripple in the air, turning the three leaders and even the few robbers behind them into thrown stones......

The sound of the thud was accompanied by a scream, and the originally dense team was knocked out of three ravines! The short spearman on the other side only felt the brilliance, and when he came back to his senses, a cold fist had already slammed into his face. With a bang, his white iron helmet seemed to have been hit by a hammer, and it was forced into a piece of the boss!

"Leave him alone! Rush up! Catch that nobleman!"

The crow Baccarra pulled the horses under his seat and roared furiously because of the light.

As the leader, he has more insight than the average person, so he only recognizes the identity of that person at a glance!

The gorgeous full set of armor was coiled with rippling golden ornaments on the smooth armor, and combined with the scorching light around him, it was easy to come to a shocking conclusion-

A paladin!

This is what they rely on? This damn temple dogleg is indeed the nemesis of the bandits, but how could a paladin run to such a desolate place? Is it the rescue that the so-called Lord Viscount has brought in?

There is no time to think about the reasons anymore. Fighting against such a god-blessed opponent is simply seeking death! This is the truth that every bandit, whether it is a wild thief or a large bandit......

But there's still a chance, yes, hostages can make the paladin fearful, as long as you catch that noble imp...... He has more than thirty cavalry, which is enough to break away the shield array around that nobleman!

"Go get that nobleman!"

The robber leader roared violently, and at the same time urged the horses......

And this sound, like turning on a noisy switch,

Roars, crashes, the grinding of iron, screams and dull crashes...... All at once, it filled the entire Poplar Town!

The first horse began to charge forward, and the distance of less than a hundred feet was almost fleeting, and the Viscount's soldiers did not seem to be strong, but with a little more force, the large shields were not enough to hold back the horses, and their spearless formation was ...... at all.

Wait, their formation?

The first poor man seemed to notice something behind the big shields, but before he could react, he tumbled under his horse with a sharp whistle!

Poof!

A row of black shadows streaked through the air, and then reduced to a monstrous steel on the knights and their mounts! The stubby arrows ripped apart the chain mail of a few robbers on horseback without any stagnation, as if the armor that had been tested in so many battles was nothing more than rotten bark, and sharp thorns pierced through their entire bodies!

It must have been due to the terrifying power of the arrows, each arrow pushed a rushing human body back, and a few not strong ones were even thrown backwards! After a large cloud of dust rolled on the ground, and the neighing that was almost connected together, only the corpses of the horses and cavalry were scattered on the road. The horses that survived ran forward in a panic through the ranks of the city guards, leaving behind the corpses of their masters and a few strong arrow-struck men who were still rolling on the ground and screaming.

The wounded who tried to struggle to their feet soon found themselves a little powerless—the terrible arrows were clearly of a peculiar structure, and the blood was gushing outward at a shocking rate, dyeing the surroundings bright red in the blink of an eye!

"I didn't expect that there would be people in such a place who could ...... Such a luxury......"

On the second floor of the inn not far away, the middle-aged knight standing at the window whispered in surprise.

Relying on the elasticity of the steel bow arm, the Heavy Crossbow possesses an astonishing lethality that is not inferior to that of a compound longbow at short distances, and is an ordinary chain of chain mail...... Not even some armor with magic tags on it could stand up to it, let alone the crude leather armor and cheeks...... Relying on the winding characteristics of the tool, it does not have too high requirements for arm strength, and an adult can use it without much training......

This kind of bow and crossbow is a high-level military asset that quickly increases military strength, and it is also the most coveted and sought-after cargo for some despicable and insidious thieves, so it is an extremely restricted material, and the price is not to mention a third-class viscount, even if it is a second-class or lower earldom, it is rare to have this kind of weapon.

But now, all the soldiers on the side of the sergeant were using such heavy crossbows! and apparently they were specially made, with four bows arranged in a cross shape, which could be wound twice at a time!

This is indeed no longer wealth, but luxury.

"Pretty good, huh...... This is the best blacksmith within a radius of hundreds of miles. Old York's craft!" Jack explained triumphantly, "Unfortunately, it is said that this thing was designed by Edward, so he stipulated that this thing was not for sale, otherwise it would be made and used as ...... Belch...... This, haha, the weather is nice today......"

However, the smugness on the face of the halfling had turned into a cry in an instant...... Because the young man named Edward had already gone up to the second floor at some point.

"Your companions are too impulsive...... So, several, please take your time and enjoy your meal, these table wines are a little gift from me. The young waiter sighed slightly, placed two bottles of fragrant liquor on the table, and then he approached the window, followed by a soldier handing him a well-wound crossbow.

The six sturdy soldiers who followed him upstairs did not fight on their own, but were responsible for winding the crossbow, allowing only the boy to shoot, and he did not make too many aiming movements, but pulled the bracket casually, and the two bowstrings sounded almost together, and then he took the next crossbow and fired it again......

However, the middle-aged knight's gaze swept across the battlefield, and his pupils had contracted slightly-

In the young man's hand, the ordinary crossbow was like the scythe of death that could harvest human life in legend. Every sound of the steel bowstring brings a terror to the battlefield below, and indeed death!

After just one round of attacks, there were no more people around the crow Baccarat who could stand!
