The rest of the afternoon was spent waiting in a house by the river, with people coming and going, bringing the latest news. Arthur naturally didn't want to be bored and wait, so he offered to play.

With Tony's consent, no one else could object, so Arthur, Tony, Mark, and Kim gathered around the table and listened to the thieves' report as they began to play cards.

"Crown of Thorns" Tony smiled and pressed a card with a picture of a crown of thorns on the table, and said with satisfaction, "Arthur, you lost." ”

Athena and Kaye stood nervously behind Arthur, but saw Arthur smile slightly and put a card on the table: "Doomsday Blade, little brother Tony, it's you who loses." Athena and Kaye cheered, and Tony threw the cards on the table in frustration, dissatisfied: "It's all Mark, if you don't let go of your flame shard, I must win." ”

Mark laughed, "It's my poker skills that are terrible." "As an old thief, he said that his card skills were so bad that the undead would not believe it.

Arthur laughed and said, "Okay, it's almost time, and their ship is almost here, let's go and guard it!" As he spoke, the first one stood up, and Tony and the others also got up and went to the side of the River of Tears, in a dilapidated watchtower, this tower was still a product of the wartime, at that time, the Simon Empire on the south bank of the Great River was still confronting Saint Rolle with the topography of the River of Tears, but now the former kingdom has become a vestin, leaving only these meaningless watchtowers, lonely watch, becoming the lair of all kinds of owls.

Some figures were already waiting in the tower, and Arthur came in to report to him about the situation. Arthur smiled and handed over the command to Tony, he was only here to provide assistance, and Mark would naturally cooperate with Tony at this point, all he had to do was watch the show, and he could make a move if necessary. And even if there is any accident, it is a big deal that the task is not completed.

In a shallow part of the water not far from the watchtower, a few thieves dragged away the sheltered branches and pushed a small hidden boat into the water, and Arthur took Athena aboard the ship, and there were many of these ships as preparations, and if the wild mercenaries did not come ashore, they would fight a water battle.

It was already evening, the sun had completely disappeared, but the light had not completely disappeared, the sky was a deep blue, and the black shadows of the trees on both sides of the river of tears were cast into the river of tears, and in the river surge, the ups and downs rolled. The black boat came along the black river, and the bow of the boat kept rolling white spray. The sound of the waves is very noticeable on the silent river.

Several men sat in the bow of the boat, not saying a word, their tousled hair and stubble all showing their exhaustion. It's been more than ten days, almost all of the food and lodging are on the ship, and the pursuit behind has never stopped. If it weren't for the rapid flow of the River of Tears, they would have lost their lives long ago. Although there was Saint-Rolle in front of them, no one thought they would be able to pass easily. In this pessimistic atmosphere, a bald man, abruptly stood up, and walked towards the cabin.

Suddenly there was a sound of argument inside.

"Thun, what do you want to do?"

"Stien, get out of the way, I'm going to have a good time with these elves, let out this breath. ”

"You're crazy, you're coming soon, and the price of a virgin is very high. Do you want us to lose money?"

"Well, right away, I think we're going to die right away. ”

The sound of "Peng" seemed to be that Stian was knocked down by Thune, and then the elves were struggling and shouting.

A middle-aged man who had been sitting at the bow of the ship suddenly stood up and walked into the cabin, and then it didn't take long for Thun to be thrown out of the cabin, and all kinds of falls outside, making the whole hull tremble.

Thun turned over and stood up and scolded: "******Mom, Charles, you are a goblin, if it weren't for your bewitchment, how could we have made trouble with you this time, and now that we're dead, we're all dead, and we're just a few of us, do you still want to care about Lao Tzu?"

Charles walked out of the cabin with a cold face and said, "It's good to be dead, if you die, you can get a less penny, I don't mind another penny." I'm going to rely on these elves for the rest of my life? Whoever dares to touch them, I'll kill them. Charles's words were coercive and tempting, and the other mercenaries were convinced.

Thun was stunned by Charles' cold gaze and immediately stopped talking, knowing that Charles would not hesitate to kill him if he felt the need. If he succeeds, he will be able to get out of this life forever, go back to the village to marry a wife, open a tavern, and brag about his mercenary career with the drinkers. What a wonderful thing.

But can it really succeed? This is a question mark in the minds of all mercenaries.

Charles glanced at the tame mercenaries and looked at the blank darkness thoughtfully.

In the darkness of the night, the ship quickly entered the slow water of Saint-Roll, but did not dock, but anchored in the shallow water. The mercenaries, as strange as they were, were clearly convinced by the Charles, and none of them had any objections. But in the darkness, several small boats slowly approached, neither side was lit up, and the river was dark. Like on the black grassland, the slowly approaching wolves shrink the encirclement little by little, and the prey is still at a loss.

But the mercenaries are obviously not easy prey to deal with, but trapped beasts, trapped beasts are still fighting, just to fight their way out of a desperate situation.

"Who's there, everyone, be careful," a voice suddenly shouted.

Although Tony regretted that he couldn't get closer, he still resolutely ordered: "Turn on the lights and release the arrows." ”

In an instant, a few points of light lit up, and the darkness of the water was gone, and at the same time, a crossbow arrow flew in the direction from which the sound came, and there was a terrible scream, and the crossbow arrow was coated with poison, and it was enough to kill it wherever it was fired. This lifted Tony's spirits, and he ordered the boat to speed up.

Hearing the noise, Charles came to the deck and cut off the iron anchor with a sword, and ordered in a loud voice: "Rush out." "One tumbled into the cabin, leaving a few poisoned arrows on the deck he had rolled on. The big ship started and sped in one direction, like a mad bison. But the boat had already surrounded it, and the iron claws of the board bit the hull like wolf teeth, and the momentum of the "bison" suddenly stagnated. Soon several dark shadows boarded the ship, covered by crossbows, without any blows.

"Don't rush into the warehouse for those on board, except for the archers, everyone else will be on board!" Tony's commanding voice sounded on the water. In this short period of time, there were no human voices except for Charles's voice and Tony's voice just now. It's not like war, it's noisy and roaring. Approached, discovered, covered with a rain of arrows, boarded. The thieves did it all in silence like wolves, almost all but the bowstrings fluttered and the sound of rippling water echoed across the water.

Arthur's boat did not come up, but kept hovering in place, at this time Arthur looked at everything with satisfaction, the overall situation has been decided, even if there is any damage, but under the huge numerical advantage, there is no luck at all. He smiled at Kaye, who was pouting beside him, and kissed him gently. Since there were so many people, there was naturally no need to let Kaye go out on an adventure, so he left her in the boat, and although Kaye was dissatisfied on the surface, he was still a little happy in his heart.

The sudden screams from the ship were mixed with the sound of bones shattering, Arthur looked back, and the first thief to enter the warehouse was knocked out by the mercenaries, as if he had been hit by a heavy weapon such as a hammer, and in the air the people were already deformed, a large amount of blood spurted out, flying a long distance and falling into the water with a "poof". Almost all the thieves on the ship were stained with sprayed blood, and their momentum suddenly froze. After all, they are not a regular army, and it is common to do things like stabbing knives in the back and beating sticks, but this kind of tragic scene is still very rare to see.

The thieves hesitated for a moment, and the narrow corridor of the cabin could only accommodate two people at most, and they could not take advantage of the number of people at all. Although in the army such an act is enough to be put to death, it is clearly not an army here, and no thief will do the task of sending him to death obviously.

Tony sneered, pressed his hand on the deck, and prayed silently, the green light began to shine, and the originally thick deck began to twist and expand to both sides, and it didn't take long to expand into a large hole. Under the effect of "bending wood", the stalemate was immediately broken. Tony, as the spellcaster, is the greatest guarantee for this operation. Although they are all druids, not all of them have the talent to become spellcasters, and most of them can only obtain a few low-level spells from their faith, although they are still called druids, but their essence has completely become a title of belonging.

Without an order, the thieves entered the cabin in two groups. There is a reason not to go up, but since the leader has solved the problem, if you don't go up, you will find death. And Tony changed places and began to use the second "Curved Wood Technique", which he had long anticipated, so he simply prepared two "Curved Wood Technique", which really worked wonders at the moment. The rarity of the caster is also revealed.

Three passages, the influx of dozens of thieves, immediately broke the blockade of the mercenaries, and launched a fierce battle in the small cabin, from time to time someone let out a dying wail, but it was muffled by more fighting sounds.

The night deepened, a layer of mist covered the entire river, Arthur raised his head and looked at the sky for a round of hooking moon, the battle was only a stone's throw away but suddenly seemed to become distant. He didn't take the thieves' sacrifices to heart, as long as Kim and Tony were okay, he wouldn't frown even if they were all dead. And Tony was standing on the deck staring at the dark hole, and this kind of melee in the dark did not suit his identity. Kim also did not go in at Arthur's signal, and was looking at the water in a daze at the moment.

The hull of the ship shook violently, but the tremor became smaller and smaller, and there were not many mercenaries left, except Charles and Thun who were still resisting. But they were already exhausted, and the thieves slowly surrounded them with red eyes. Death awaits just around the corner.

Thun was already completely desperate, but this despair only added to his ferocity, since he couldn't rush out, let's kill one of them! Just wanted to say a few heroic words to Charles next to him, but saw Charles next to him suddenly take a deep breath, take out a scroll from his arms and quickly unfold it. A blue light suddenly enveloped his body, "Divine Shield".

Thun immediately scolded, but Charles didn't look at him, but rushed towards the thieves, the sword slashed over the light on his body but could not go deeper, but was bounced away, the "Holy Shield" is a medium-level spell of protection that can take a lot of damage in a short time, but it is not very practical, because the time is too short, and only the advanced "Holy Protection" of this spell can last for a long time. And this is the surface of the water, where can Charles rush with this time?

Charles ignored the thieves who stood in his way, just rushed through like a mad bull and slammed himself on the ground.

Everyone, including Thune, felt that the man had gone mad under the pressure of death, and only Tony, who had seen this scene through the hole in the deck, suddenly felt a deep unease. But the uneasiness was only for a moment.

"Boom!" a loud roar and the light of the fire tore through the silence and darkness of all the night.

Note: There is a legend among the human nobility that the elven virgin can prolong her life, and although no one has come out to confirm it, this rumor has always existed and is believed by some people.

But in the canons of almost all religions, there is such a phrase: "Indulgence hastened death." Although this has been confirmed by many people, not many people are able to comply with it. Especially when facing a beautiful elf.
