Section 35 Fighting
At this time, there were only a few lazy people sleeping on the street next to the gate of Sharp Town, and the townspeople who occasionally passed by almost all of them pushed carts to and from the town to and outside the town to transport goods.
Actually, Pedi had already asked a faint smell of blood, but he thought it was just a matter of the town's hygiene, and although he had been through a few fights, he was still only a recruit for the experienced Hades and Collier.
Besides, on such a quiet street, it is hard to imagine that there is a murder.
"Are you sure?" asked Andy, looking at his two entourage.
"I never joke like that!" Hades replied as one of Andy's attendants whispered in his ear.
Pedi deliberately fiddled with the leather ring armor on his body to make himself appear casual, to dispel the suspicions of the townsfolk who occasionally passed by nearby,
"The presence of the Holy Force in the nearby space tells me that there are still people in the hotel. "And it's a lot of people, and there's at least one squad in the hall alone, which doesn't look like there's a murder." After a pause, he turned to look at the magician, "Collier, you go and call the guide just now." β
"Understood!"
...
"Mr. Simon, as much as I would like to thank you for leading the way, this inn is closed now..."Pedi waved his hand, "Are there any other inns?"
Simon looked a little reserved in front of Pedi and the others...
"Out of business?" Simon looked surprised, "The Little Pony Hotel never goes out of business... Oh, by the way, a group entered town this morning, and they were at the hotel, maybe the group of mercenaries took over the whole hotel. β
"What kind of mercenary?" asked Pedi.
"How many are there?" asked Andy.
"This," Simon smiled awkwardly, "My lord, there are too many of them... I'm not very good at arithmetic..."
Andy was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Simon with strange eyes, perhaps in his eyes, basic counting should be something that everyone knows.
"How's their gear?" Hades said.
"Almost everyone had an axe, and a few were armed with short swords and leather armor. Simon lowered his head and thought for a while, looked at the silver coin in Collier's hand and gritted his teeth and said: "These mercenaries should have something to do with the guards in the town, otherwise, according to the rules of the town, such an armed scale will not be able to enter the town." β
"Oh?" said Pedi nodded thoughtfully.
"Dingβ" The silver coin in Cowlier's hand tossed towards Simon at Pedy's gesture.
"As you can see, Mr. Simon, we need to rest, and if you can get the innkeeper to change his mind, I can pay another silver coin. Pedi bowed her head politely.
Simon excitedly took the silver coin and wiped it vigorously with his greasy cuffs, then put it in his mouth and bit it, and after he confirmed the authenticity of the silver coin, he hurriedly said, "Of course, I am willing to serve..."
With that, Simon immediately walked to the door of the hotel, turned his back to Pedi and the others and hid the silver coins in the wardrobe...
"Bang... Bang..."
The door was locked as Pedi had expected, and Simon thumed it vigorously, shouting, "Kun Lei, hey, Kun Lei, there's business coming to the door, big business... Hey, damn stupid, there's business..."
"Today the hotel was chartered by us and does not do other people's business. A rough voice came from inside, "If you dare to knock on the door again, I swear, I will cut off your hands!"
"No one can take our hotel in Sharp Town, damn out-of-town, you open the door for me. "Maybe it's a silver coin stimulus, Simon didn't give up, you know, that could make him a whole month's income!
"Bang bang...", a loud sound like tables and chairs being overturned, apparently someone in the hotel was enraged.
"Crunch!" the door opened from the inside.
A dagger plunged into Simon's throat the moment the door opened, and a smear of blood spurted down the back of his neck.
"Youβ" Poor Simon didn't have time to react, he didn't expect to die like this!
It all happened very suddenly, but Peidi and the others reacted.
"Andy, you take the notice to the mayor here and identify yourself!" Pedi quickly removed the silver warhammer covered in sackcloth from the saddle of the mount beside him, "Hades, I'll be in charge of the charge, and I'll leave it to you later!"
"Understood!" Andy and Hades replied at the same time, each making a move.
"Poof..."
"Boom..."
A golden flash of light accompanied by a burst of sound of breaking the sky hit the person who attacked the Saimen head-on, and with a bang, the whole person was knocked out, and at the same time, the substantial holy power surrounded the neck of the Saimen.
"Don't be flustered..."
Hades had long been accustomed to the paladin's 'tactical sprint', and he shouted: "Eden followed Cowlier to cover on the right flank of the hotel, and Ren and I were in charge of the left flank and the back door respectively!"
...
"Damn, who's who?" A group of mercenaries who were drinking in the hotel were frightened by the sudden noise, and subconsciously raised their weapons and headed for the sound.
"Ahem!ahem!" Two violent coughs came from the Adam's apple of the man who had been knocked into the air, and then he died.
Pedi glanced at Simon, who was lying in a pool of blood, the wound had been repaired, but it was up to luck to survive.
"Huh"
A tiny throwing knife flashed with a cold cold light towards Pedy's throat.
"Hmph!" Pei Di snorted coldly, and the holy power around him expanded like a substance, forming a protective circle like a magician's shield.
This is the Paladin's basic skill, the Holy Shield.
The "ding" knife nailed to the 'Holy Shield Technique' made a sound like a metal impact.
"Whew..."Pei Di let out a long breath and stepped out, and the warhammer in his hand swept through the middle-aged man who wanted to approach with a short axe, like a rotten plank, and his upper and lower body folded in everything with a crisp sound.
The people around who were just about to surround were so frightened by Pedi's blow that they involuntarily pushed away...
It was then that Pedi had time to look at the lobby of the hotel.
But I saw that a man's corpse was lying on the bar at the bar, and his bloodstained face showed the unwillingness of the temporary past.
And the most eye-catching thing is the dense bloody footprints on the damp hard mud floor!
"Damn it, it's paladins, crossbowmen, our crossbowmen!" roared a man with a two-handed sword standing in the attic, wearing a knight's helmet studded with white goose feathers on his head.
Pei Di looked coldly at the man who came out of the attic, "You should know that I can solve these people in less than twenty seconds. β
"You..."
"You don't have time to think about it!" Pedi slowly walked towards the attic, and the many mercenaries around him did not dare to step forward to stop him.
The man in the attic immediately threw the two-handed sword in his hand downstairs, and then shouted: "All down your weapons!" Immediately, he looked at Pei Di again: "I am one of the six deputy leaders of the Iron Tooth Mercenary Regiment, you better ensure my safety." β
"Irontooth mercenary group?" whispered Pedi, this is the mercenary group that attacked his lieutenant in the ancestral graveyard!
