From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

The deep forest does not know when there has been no chirping of birds, and the sunlight is projected from the gaps between the branches, illuminating a trace of rising water vapor.

In the grass, a beetle trying to escape the direct sun was crushed by a greaved foot.

A wave of arrow rain attacked the entire camp from the depths of the dense forest without warning, covering the robbers who were excitedly packing their soft luggage.

The robbers who were working in full swing didn't even have a piece of leather armor on them, and several of them were bare-chested for trouble. As long as they were hit by arrows, they would be seriously injured, and if they hit a vital point, they would die suddenly.

Looking at the bandit group, which had been downsized by half, someone finally reacted.

"Enemy attack!" The shrill whistle suddenly overwhelmed the screams, and the ax climbed to the back of the truck in a panic to take cover.

Was it really found by someone? What kind of mercenaries did the group of merchants find?

Soon the pale-faced Axe knew he was wrong, because he immediately saw the city guards in standard armor and surrounded the entire camp in an instant.

City Guards! It was the army, the regular army, not the mercenaries they had encountered before. Why would the army come here? !

the other side. Because he didn't know how many opponents there were, Lann brought out all one hundred of his subordinates this time.

A general gang of robbers can slaughter some small villages with more than ten members. This time, it was really beyond Lan's expectation to meet a large gang of forty members.

But it doesn't matter, the strength of the standard army lies in its quantity, coordination, and equipment. A dozen or so well-equipped soldiers can kill militias that are several times larger than their own head-on, not to mention that Lann and the others still have a numerical advantage.

Maybe this batch of new city guards still lack some fighting experience.

But Lann just happened to have a training mission for 【City Defense Iron Guard One】.

What could be a better target for a knife test than these vicious, blood-stained soldiers who are naked at this time?

Lann slowly came out of the woods on his horse, surrounded by more than a dozen knights. There are more than a dozen archers and crossbowmen distributed on both sides of the knight, ready to go.

The spearmen and shield soldiers who have been trained for several months form an encirclement circle with the sword masters. The helmets slightly cover the tense faces and foreheads of the novices, showing a cold and heartless image, which makes them Facing the robbers, they slowly shrank and surrounded.

"Which lord is that outside?" Ax screamed miserably, leaning against the back of the truck and moving towards the place where the weapons were piled up.

"Show kindness, we are just a group of merchants, is there some misunderstanding here?"

The sound of orderly footsteps and the sound of swords being drawn responded to the begging of the axe.

Finally, some robbers couldn't stand the oppressive feeling, and ran to the ground to pick up weapons and wanted to break out of the siege.

"嗖嗖" was another sound of piercing through the air, and the soldiers who had already been full of strings finally saw the opportunity, and the arrows directly nailed the outermost robbers to the ground. Then all the archers and crossbowmen turned and disappeared behind the cavalry.

It's not that they are afraid of being rushed, but that the infantry have already met the enemy at hand, and there is a risk of accidental injury if they shoot again.

The ferocious bandits inspired by a strong desire to survive are indeed amazing, but every bandit trying to break out of the encirclement will bump into an enemy twice or even three times its own size.

They howled and struck out with an axe, and they would immediately be blocked by a large shield half a person's height, and then a long spear or a long sword would turn over from behind the shield.

To make it simpler, three or four spearmen advanced together in tacit understanding, handing forward at the same time. Three or four spears would then simultaneously pierce the body of the oncoming enemy.

At the expense of a few people again, or it was these few people who attracted the attention of most of the soldiers, the remaining twenty or so bandits finally took up weapons and formed a simple formation.

On the periphery of the battlefield, the deputy captain who was watching the battle was somewhat dissatisfied with the efficiency of these recruits.

"Master Earl, please wait a moment, the battle will be decided soon."

The vice-captain wanted to say this to Lan, but before he could speak, a gust of wind passed in front of him. How could there be an Earl behind him? !

Only Lan's mount pawed at the ground in a daze.

There have been robbers who have been staring at these knights for a long time. Seeing the young man surrounded by the leader who can be seen at a glance rushing towards them, all the robbers were overjoyed.

Is there such a reckless noble young master these days, when the enemy is about to be defeated, is he rushing alone to help the opponent turn the tables?

Immediately, the three robbers couldn't help breaking up and broke out of the formation, scrambling to rush towards Lann.

"Master Earl!!" All the cavalry shouted in panic.

The Cavaliers' worries are obviously unnecessary.

I saw Lan En blocking the first robber rushing forward, pulling out the long sword at his waist at a speed that the other party couldn't react, and at the same time stepped forward. The half-unsheathed blade just happened to be stuck on the right hand of the opponent who was swinging the axe, and went straight to the bone. From the vantage point behind the cavalry, it looked as if the enemy had voluntarily struck Lane's blade.

Pulling out the sword following the charge, the long sword was completely unsheathed and at the same time cut off the enemy's right hand completely. Amid the blood gushing from the enemy and the screams, Lan En slammed his shoulders forward, and his thick shoulder armor knocked the opponent a few meters away, turning into a gourd with the second robber.

The measurements suddenly turned into one-on-one.

Only then did the third robber come to his senses, but the noble boy in his eyes had already danced his long sword into an impenetrable wall to press him down.

Swinging the sword so quickly was supposed to be just a temptation to force the enemy to show their weaknesses, and the seasoned robber instinctively wanted to block Zhou Xuan. But the strength from his hand was not at the level that a probing attack should have. On the contrary, it was like the final blow of a life-threatening attack, which made his wrist numb all at once.

Then came the second, and then the third. The weapon was thrown out of his hand in a blink of an eye, and the huge force caused the robber to stagger back, and then the fourth time, it slashed on the bare chest.

Blood was splashed, Lan En kept twisting his waist for a moment, and stepped on the enemy's corpse as a springboard with his right foot, the right half of his body was slightly lifted into the air, and the hand holding the sword was raised above his head——

With a sound of "噗嗤", the long sword passed through the body, and the dying bandit with the severed hand was strung to the ground together with his companion.

The knights who were about to step forward to rescue and the robbers who were running here were stunned.

"Lord Earl!" The infantry who were charging forward shouted, their morale was like a rainbow.

All the soldiers shouted in their hearts, is there anything more morale-inspiring than their chief officer personally going into battle, even rushing faster and killing more enemies than his soldiers?

Surrounded by even louder shouts of killing, Lan glanced at the rising experience points in the panel out of the corner of his eyes. The experience gained from killing is not as much as doing tasks, but no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it is still meat.

"Soldiers, charge with me!" He wants to continue to grab the head!

Man wants to fight!
