Chapter 37: Traveling Alone
Arthur knew that this time it would never be a coincidence, and the other party found him.
Arthur was about to step forward, but was pulled by Hasg beside him, "With our goshawk mercenaries here, we will never let you be taken away." ”
This young mercenary has perseverance and death in his eyes, as long as he accepts the commission, he will defend it with his life, this is the courage of a mercenary!
"What are you goshawk mercenary groups, let's take them away, or none of you will leave today!" said the bandit leader with squinted eyes, not paying Norris a complete oblivion.
"Then you have to step over the corpse of our goshawk mercenary first! you wind thieves will have to pay a few lives!" Norris drew his sword and crossed it across his chest, staring at the bandit leader without fear.
Hasg and the other three mercenaries also drew their blades, ready to fight at any moment.
The bandit leader rolled his eyes twice, slowed down his tone slightly, and said, "The reward for that bounty task is sky-high, what price do you plan to pay to keep this young man?"
Seeing that the situation was still easing, Norris turned his head and tried to ask Rachind's opinion behind him.
Just as Norris turned his head, the bandit leader suddenly jumped up from the back of the horned antelope, and the long-handled chopping knife in his hand flashed coldly, slashing at Norris's face.
"Despicable!" Norris hurriedly crossed his sword.
The long sword in Norris's hand was slashed crooked by the bandit leader, and the blade slid down, breaking through the protective leather armor and slashing at Norris's left chest.
Blood splattered, and Norris staggered back.
The bandit leader landed and Progress flew up with a kick that knocked Norris to the ground, the tip of the knife against his throat.
With just two moves, Norris lost the power to resist.
"Desperately, you're not qualified enough!" the leader of the bandits looked around at the merchant house with a proud gaze.
Although the bandit leader made a sudden move, he was obviously one level higher than Norris in terms of strength and speed, and most of them were captain-level warriors.
Although the mercenaries of Hasg and the others were angry, they did not dare to step forward for a while, fearing that the bandit leader would kill Norris with one sword.
"You let Uncle Norris go, I'll go with you!" Arthur squeezed past Hasg and came to the bandit leader.
The bandit leader glanced Arthur up and down a few times, "It's good to be so knowledgeable earlier." Don't worry, we won't hurt you, it's someone up there who wants to look for you. ”
Arthur bent down and picked up Norris's fallen sword, "I'm also a warrior, if you want to catch me, you must defeat me first!"
The leader of the bandits let out a hoarse laugh as if he had heard the funniest joke, and the robbers around him laughed as well.
The bandit leader kicked Norris away, casually carrying a knife and crossing his waist, and said, "Little guy, I'll let you cut me first, as long as you let me move my position, even if you win." ”
"Good!" Arthur nodded solemnly.
Seeing Arthur's serious, serious expression, the surrounding bandits let out laughter again, waiting to see his joke.
Arthur stabbed the bandit leader in the abdomen with a sword in one hand.
But Arthur's sword speed was as slow as a chicken in the eyes of the bandit leader, and when the tip of the sword was about to reach the body, he slammed the back of the mountain knife outward at will, knocking Arthur's long sword crooked, and at the same time, the huge force on the knife brought Arthur's body to the side.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of the bandit leader's mouth, everything was as expected, this was the huge gap between the first-level martial artist and the fourth-level martial artist, and then he could kick Arthur, who was already unstable, with just one flying kick.
The only thing that was different from what was expected was that there was a little more light in Arthur's left hand, which was naturally raised as Arthur's body was tilted, and this light turned into a huge fireball in an instant, heading straight for the bandit leader's door.
The distance between the two sides was so close that he only subconsciously raised his arms to cover his face against the oncoming fireball bandit leader.
When the fireball hit the arm of the bandit leader and exploded, Arthur's broken sword turned backhand, and it was lightning from the bottom to the top, which was the "backhand roundabout attack" in the death duel.
The speed of this sword was like thunder, and it went straight to the throat of the bandit leader, which was one of the essence of killing with a single blow to the death.
The bandit leader's fireball scorched his body only halfway through the screams of the sword's sword.
Draw the sword, blood splatters, and the corpse falls forward!
Kill with a sword, the whole action is clean and neat!
Arthur, who has been trained by Randall for three years to the death, finally shows his fangs!
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole scene was silent, and the bandits opened their mouths wide and didn't even have time to exclaim!
Arthur was the calmest one in the field, and after drawing his sword, he rushed forward, and the two leaps reached the nearest antelope, and as soon as he leaned forward, the long sword stabbed into the bandit's abdomen from the bottom up.
At the screams of the bandit, he drew his sword and pounced on the next bandit.
At this time, the bandits all reacted from the shock just now, although there were many bandits, but they suddenly lost their unified command, and in the face of Arthur's rapid killing, they were temporarily confused.
Some of the bandits jumped off the antelope and threw themselves at Arthur with their blades, others tried to rush their mounts directly into Arthur, but were blocked by their companions, and some of the bandits were frightened when they saw that their leader was dead, and prepared to turn and flee.
Arthur's enchanted leather boots "Wind Technique" was activated, his body suddenly accelerated, and he rushed out of the bandits surrounding him in advance, and returned a second-level magic "Wall of Fire Technique", raising a wall of fire more than one meter high to separate the bandits behind him.
All of Arthur's equipment was put away, except for the inconspicuous gray short-top enchanted leather boots under his feet, which worked wonders again at the critical moment.
Arthur, who broke out of the encirclement, took the opportunity to get close to a lone bandit again, and with a sword he drew away, the bandit's blade flew away, and then followed by a sword and stabbed the bandit in the chest.
When the other bandits bypassed the wall of fire, the "Wind Blast" was activated again, breaking away from the bandits' encirclement and attacking the bandits who were wavering in the outer ring.
The strength of these wind bandits themselves is not strong, except for the dead leaders, most of them are first- and second-level warriors, as long as Arthur is given a one-on-one chance, it is basically one or two swords and one life.
With his swift body, Arthur killed three people in a row in the blink of an eye.
These Wind Thieves were a rabble, and seeing that Arthur was so fierce at such a young age, more and more bandits moved the idea of turning around and fleeing.
Norris, who was still lying on the ground with his injuries, suddenly shouted, "Go up and help!"
This shout caused several mercenaries of the Goshawk Mercenary Group who were still standing in place to react instantly, and together with Hasger, they pounced on the small group of bandits.
A few people rushed forward, and the wind thief, who had no intention of fighting, suddenly became chaotic, turned around and ran.
The Wind Thieves, who were still menacing just now, scattered in an instant, except for the seven or eight corpses left on the ground, and the living ones quickly escaped without a trace.
Arthur approached Norris, who was being bandaged by the Comptoir's men, and bent down to hand the sword back, "Thank you, Uncle Norris. ”
Norris's face flushed, "It should be that we thank you, what a hero!"
Arthur came to Rashing again and bowed deeply, "Uncle Rashing, thank you for taking care of me along the way, I am ready to leave by myself." ”
"You don't have to leave, you'll be safe with us, and I promised Nightingale......"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll cause trouble for the caravan. Rashind was only halfway through his sentence when Arthur interrupted him.
Arthur turned and walked towards the last wagon of the caravan, which was loaded with Arthur's previous clothes and equipment.
When he passed by Hasger, he turned his head and smiled evilly at him, "Do you want to try it?" ”
Hasger's head shook like a rattle, "What are you kidding with this monster?"
Arthur changed back into his mercenary equipment, and when he put the giant sword of Keynes on his back again, the eyes of several goshawk mercenaries led by Norris lit up.
Arthur saluted the crowd with his fists again, then turned to leave.
Everyone in the merchant house kept watching Arthur go away, looking at the thin figure with the giant sword on his back walking farther and farther away......
