Chapter 54: Reinforcements Arrive (Happy New Year, Everyone)
Seeing that Lawrence was injured, Fallon was also very anxious, and for the first time he felt that he couldn't use his strength, and just now he tried to release a fireball, but he almost accidentally injured the mercenary who was trembling with the killer.
As the battle continued, Fei Lun also began to be impatient, he had already seen that the mercenaries had physical problems, and the killers had the advantage in numbers, and they were not in a hurry to exchange injuries for injuries, but like a cat catching a mouse, he had to play with it and kill it.
After Lawrence was injured, although he immediately took magic healing potions, and his injuries were gradually recovering, but after all, he was injured, and his combat effectiveness declined, and he was unprepared several times, so that the killer added a few scars to his body, and as a last resort, Lawrence could only retreat to the mercenaries and fight with the team members.
Although Fei Lun has been releasing magic to help mercenaries, but found that it is really difficult to work, these low-level magic, the killers are either dodging or blocking with weapons, the effect is really not big, Fei Lun feels that it is not using arcane, there is no trace of arcane can definitely change the situation in an instant, but in this way, it will definitely be seen by Lawrence and them, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, Lawrence will they spread their mouths around, Fei Lun is really not sure, if they are killed, Faren can't bear it.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
"Young Master Faerun, we'll open a big gap for you, you can break through first. ”
Lawrence retreated to Faeron's side, he was already covered in blood, there were killers and his own, Lawrence had killed four killers, but there was no longer the strength to do so, and the mercenaries had also died three, and the number was reduced again.
"I'm afraid not, you didn't see a few killers on the periphery, they won't let anyone go today. ”
Faeron shook his head and pointed to the few killers on the periphery who did not participate in the battle, those were to prevent people from escaping.
"It seems that this time we will not be able to complete the task of Lord Marquis. ”
Lawrence shook his head, but he didn't expect that what he thought was the easiest task turned out to be the task of destroying his mercenary team.
"Or I'm a burden to you, the target of this killer is me, why don't I use a few magic spells to open a way for you, you break through, I believe these killers know that you are mercenaries, and they only protect me for the mission, and they won't embarrass you." ”
Since it is already a dead end, it is better to let the mercenaries break out, and a few fewer deaths can be regarded as accumulating virtue.
"No, Young Master Fei Lun, you can't escape, the poisonous scorpion never leaves a living mouth, whether it is the old man and children, men and women, related or innocent, no one can survive, since they are all going to die, they can't let the poisonous scorpion have a better time, Young Master Fei Lun, don't worry, before we die, we will never let the killer get close to you." ”
Lawrence understands the current situation very well, and he has no illusions about abandoning Feren to break out, since they are all dead, it is better to pull a few backs.
Fei Lun's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the scorpion to be so vicious, so let's fight and see how much you can pay to kill me.
As the mercenaries gradually lost their physical strength, mercenaries continued to fall, and the mercenary team of twenty people at the time of departure was now only eight people left, Lawrence's eyes were red, he held back tears, and kept slashing at the killer with his big sword, and the angry attack made it difficult for the killer to parry, and every time he left a scar on Lawrence's body, a killer would fall.
The double-knife killer who finally attacked Lawrence couldn't stand it anymore, so he shot again, and fought with Lawrence, one recuperated for a long time, and the other fought for the rest of his life, Lawrence and the killer fell behind as soon as they collided, and the killer's double knives were unpredictable, always stabbing Lawrence at a tricky and strange angle.
Before Lawrence's greatsword could touch the double knife killer, he was added three or four cuts to his body by the opponent, and one of the serious swords directly abolished Lawrence's left leg, and if it wasn't for Feren's magic support in time, Lawrence's left leg would have been removed.
Lawrence, who was standing on only one leg, struggled to hold his broadsword and had to withdraw from the battlefield, watching his team members being killed.
Just when the killers thought that they had the chance to win and were unhurriedly harvesting the lives of the mercenaries, the three killers on the periphery were suddenly pierced by several sharp arrows, looking at the arrows exposed in their chests in disbelief, and then slammed into the ground with their eyes in disbelief.
Then there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a group of silver-armored knights galloped from the other end of the forest pass, led by several knights who withdrew their longbows and replaced them with longswords and pounced straight here.
"The Imperial Capital Guards are the Imperial Capital Guards. ”
Lawrence shouted in surprise, and Lawrence, who had been to the imperial capital, of course recognized that this was the ace army guarding the imperial capital.
Feron remembered that Anthony had told himself that the commander of the Imperial Capital Guards was his former follower, and that reinforcements had finally arrived.
Not too long a distance, the knight wearing silver armor and cloak on his back came to the battlefield in an instant, and those killers who were entangled with the mercenaries and had not had time to withdraw were instantly slashed by the long sword through their necks, and their round heads flew into the air in an instant, and after taking a look at their headless body from a perspective that they had never seen before, they fell into eternal darkness.
The sudden attack caught the killers off guard, and they thought they could kill both the mercenaries and their targets like mice, but instead they became prey.
The double-knife killer saw that something was wrong, and as soon as he whistled, he was about to retreat, but the silver-armored knights didn't want to let go of these killers, the long swords kept waving, and the killers fell to the ground one after another, not at all the opponents of these silver-armored knights, and the killers who had escaped from the battle circle were nailed to the ground by sharp arrows before they had time to escape.
Even the double-knife killer was divided into three sections by two knights with a sword up and down, and lost the leader, the killers were headless flies, I don't know whether to retreat or desperately, Zuihou was killed by all these knights, and Fei Lun found that the strength of these silver-armored knights almost surpassed Lawrence, plus superb martial arts, so that they could easily kill all the enemies like killing chickens.
"Are you Young Master Fei Lun? ”
After the killers were dealt with, the knights turned over and dismounted, and the knights led by him came to Feren, took off their helmets, showed their golden hair and handsome faces, and knelt down on one knee in front of Faeron.
"That's right, I'm Faeron, Captain Baird doesn't need to be polite, I want your timely help. ”
Fei Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he had a ring like cheating, and he had infinite magic power, but the mental consumption was his own, and the long-term precision attack made Fei Lun also a little tired.
"After receiving the letter from the Marquis of Anthony, the Commander of the Wood Legion immediately let us go because the Legion Commander was not allowed to leave the imperial capital without permission, and we arrived here day and night, fortunately Young Master Faeron is fine. ”
Baird explained, sure enough, it was sent by Wood, but fortunately he arrived in time, if he came half a day late, he would have to collect his own body.
"Originally, it was like speeding up and meeting you, but unfortunately it was only a little bit away, and now that you are here, I believe that the killer will not dare to come again. ”
With the protection of these knights, Faeron also believed that the killer should not come again.
After the battle, Feron went back to the carriage to rest, and the mercenaries who could still move began to clean up the battlefield and cremate the dead teammates, Lawrence took some magic healing potions to stabilize the injury, although the effect of continuous use of magic potions in a short period of time will be reduced, but in order to set off early, Lawrence also had the luxury of a trip.
The Imperial Capital Guards did not participate in the battlefield, but rode back and forth on horseback to protect Faerun, which was the object of the Legion's personal order to protect, and there could be no negligence.
The mercenaries' movements were very quick, the seriously injured ones were moved to the carriage behind, and the ashes of their teammates were cleaned up lightly, even if the battlefield was cleaned, as for the corpses of the killers, they were thrown directly into the forest, and naturally there would be wild scavengers to deal with them.
After this ambush, there were only seven mercenaries left, of which three were seriously injured and four were lightly injured, Lawrence's mercenary team was completely abandoned, and I don't know if the next step is to disband or re-recruit personnel, all of which will have to wait until Lawrence recovers from his injuries.
The work of escorting the convoy was completely taken over by the people of the Imperial Capital Guards, and the mercenaries just need to take care of themselves and not fall behind.
When the convoy left, it left behind only a mess of ground and blood, which is so common on the Red Earth Continent that no one will be surprised, only to discuss which unlucky person lost his life here.
On the way, Pheren and Baird chatted and began to learn about the Imperial Capital Guards that made Lawrence exclaim.
The Imperial Capital Guards are the legions that defend the Imperial Capital, and generally do not leave the Imperial Capital, but will only regularly go to the front line to conduct necessary battles, and always maintain the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Capital Garrison.
The minimum requirements of the Imperial Capital Guards are all intermediate-level soldiers, and people like the squad leader Baird need to be high-level warriors to be competent, which makes the Imperial Capital Guards have the highest combat effectiveness in the Andre Empire except for the Magic Guide Legion.
This time, there were fifty people in the imperial capital guard team who came to meet Fei Lun, each of whom was in silver armor and silver helmets, because they were not on the battlefield, each person just brought a long sword and a bow, and the long cloak could not only be handsome, but also used as a quilt at night, and if he went to the battlefield, he would also add a spear, after all, it was a cavalry establishment.
Their mounts are also very powerful, nearly two meters high, they are a hybrid of horses and monsters, a kind of mount specially cultivated by the Andre Empire, the weight, endurance, and speed are all perfect, and they are all white, it is a landscape in the imperial capital, with their guards, the people in the imperial capital will feel safe.
Fei Lun was a little smacked, the most famous thing in the Andre Empire was the Demon Guide Legion, but even this unknown Imperial Capital Guards were so powerful, I really don't know how powerful those ace armies would be, Grandpa Anthony was right, his previous vision was indeed narrow, and he could see so many things just after going out, and Fei Lun began to look forward to his campus life.
