Mercenaries and Adventurers

Seeing the baron's personal guard Lubis nodding in approval for him to take action, the town guard Kayon was particularly excited. He removed the long sword and a short knife from his waist, inserted them into the soft grass, and then took out a piece of cloth from under the guard's cloak behind him. Arm shields, large and small, are also placed together with the weapons.

Then he took off his helmet and hung it gently on the edge of the shield.

After shaking his body and moving for a while, Kayan suddenly shouted, which not only cheered up his spirit, but also shocked the herdsmen on the opposite side.

The six herdsmen on the opposite side saw the outsiders taking the initiative to remove their weapons, and they also took off the leather bags they were carrying behind them. They also untied the pebble leather bags around their waists and placed them on the ground. They also shook off the sling ropes wrapped around their arms. Wrap it up and place it in a pebbleskin bag.

They don't have helmets, and most of them have either strong leather straps tied to their heads or leather hats made of flexible animal skins. Since the outsiders on the opposite side didn't wear armor on their heads, they didn't wear either. They took off the armor on their heads and the six young herdsmen bumped their fists vigorously, making a banging sound.

The leading herdsman waved his hand, and the other five people spread out, trying to outflank Kayan.

This is the most basic way to fight more. Kayan, who often fights with Kiel, naturally knows how to deal with it.

The opponent spread out and tried to surround him, and he also moved to prevent the opponent's attempt from succeeding.

And against many, the key to winning is to eliminate the opponent in a short time. Because there are many people on the other side, only two or three people are needed to attack. The others have time to breathe and recover their strength, but the person surrounded has no time to rest at all.

Once the battle lasts a little longer, the side with more people can win by exhausting the opponent's physical strength, even without relying on a decisive battle.

So Kayan took two quick steps diagonally, jumped up from the soft grass, and kicked a herdsman on the edge who surrounded him.

The opponent was circling and trying to surround Kayan, but he didn't expect that this guy Kayan would take the initiative and launch a quick attack.

The herdsman couldn't stop for a moment, so he folded his arms in front of his chest, trying to resist Kayan's flying kick.

However, the blow was powerful and heavy. Although the flying kick was not enough, the kick with the weight of the body still hit the herdsman's chest and arm, knocking him down in the air and rolling him back several meters.

"good!"

Lubis and Zambirus both cheered loudly. This kick was a good start. With such a heavy blow, the herdsman who was kicked away would not be able to get up in a short time.

But Kayan did not have the upper hand.

As soon as he landed, two herdsmen behind him pounced on him with open arms. Once caught by these two people, it was over.

After Kayan turned around and saw the situation clearly, he immediately dodged sideways, allowing the two men to escape.

But then two more herdsmen rushed towards him, one behind the other. Kayan dodged the first one, but the latter one closed his arms and grabbed one of Kayan's arms.

The opponent grabbed an arm and did not attack. Instead, he hugged him tightly and went to the ground, trying to pull Kayon to the ground.

It doesn't matter if you fall on the soft grass, it's actually very comfortable.

But at this time, it is very dangerous.

Because once you fall to the ground in a one-to-many battle, you will basically just be passively beaten.

Kayan knew the danger, but no matter whether he shook his arm at the moment he fell to the ground or used his other hand to forcefully break the opponent's entanglement, he could not get rid of the herdsman in a short time.

"Ruined!"

Zambirus slapped his cheek with his palm and covered his eyes, not daring to watch the next battle.

As soon as Kayan fell to the ground, several herdsmen around him swooped over. One locked Kayan's other arm, and the other tried to hug Kayan's legs, but Kayan forcefully retracted his legs and kicked them out, letting the other party Unable to do so.

But then several fists hit him hard in the abdomen.

Bang bang bang bang.

Even though Kayan was wearing the hard cowhide armor of the Kendall Town Guards, which effectively protected most of his body, the heavy blows of the fists were different from the cutting and slashing of the swords, and the force of the blows was still pressed through the armor. on his entire torso.

"Let me go! Let me go!" He couldn't yell twice before a pair of smelly feet kicked him hard in the face, pressing his head into the soft soil.

After being stunned for a moment, his legs were grabbed, and then his whole body was lifted up amidst the laughter of the young herdsmen.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

The four young herdsmen each lifted one of Kayan's arms or legs. No matter how hard Kayan regained consciousness, he could not break free.

Another leading herdsman grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, dabbed it on Kayan's face in a daze, and then happily cheered with the others.

Then several people exerted their strength, and Kayan was thrown out of the fighting clearing.

"One more, another powerful one. He can't do it, he's too young and too weak!"

Several young herdsmen stood in a row majestically, with arms folded across their chests, and proudly said to Lubis and others.

As soon as Kayan was thrown to the ground, although he got up immediately, looking at the proud herdsmen, his entire face covered with mud turned red with embarrassment.

He didn't say a word, and didn't dare to look at the eyes of Lubis and another fellow guard, so he could only walk over with his head down in despair.

Businessman Ouluo Bize kindly patted the dirt stained by Kayan's armor. Without saying anything, he took out a clean cloth and stuffed it into Kayan's palm.

-

"Weak strength? How about I do it?"

Zambirus took off his helmet and placed it at his feet, then took off the long sword from his waist, a spare hand axe, a small shield behind him, and a machete on his waist instead of a self-defense dagger and other combat weapons.

Zambirus is tall and strong, and you can tell at a glance that he is not someone to be trifled with. His entrance made the six herdsmen who stood in a row again far more nervous than before. But after all, they had just won a game. Although they don't know why these outsiders came one by one instead of three together, but in one-on-one, it seems that they don't have an advantage?

That's better.

As soon as Zambirus entered the open space, the six young herdsmen shouted in unison, and then without outflanking him, the six men neatly pushed towards the strong and tall Zambirus.

And Zambirus was not afraid, and also strode towards the six people on the opposite side.

When the distance was less than three meters, the herdsmen roared, lowered their bodies and pounced on Zambirus' strong legs, opened their arms and rushed towards Zambirus's arms. There was another person in the middle who imitated just now. Kayan jumped up quickly and kicked out, heading straight for Zambirus' chest.

The leading herdsman followed behind the kicking herdsmen, ready to seize the opportunity at any time.

But Zambirus faced him in the opposite direction, took a deep breath, held his breath, straightened his chest and received a flying kick from the herdsman.

Beyond the herdsmen's expectations, the flying kick was like a kick on a hard and heavy wall. It was of no use at all. Instead, Zambirus grabbed one of the herdsman's legs.

The guard's muscles rose, and he roared, swinging his arms, and threw the herdsman caught in his hand with him.

With a left swing, he hit the two herdsmen on his left, screaming in pain and retreating.

With a right swing, he hit the two herdsmen on his right and retreated wailing.

Then he pushed forward again and pushed the last young herdsman who took the lead back in large strides.

The herdsman who had collided with his own people several times wailed and was finally punched in the chest by Zambirus.

Boom. A heavy punch knocked the young man to the ground. He huddled up and kept breathing in with his mouth wide open.

"Haha, come on!"

Zambirus stepped on the downed herdsman and rushed forward. The other five herdsmen were frightened by the guard's heroic performance. He kept retreating, circling around to avoid Zambirus, who was laughing and rushing towards him.

The fighting clearing was roughly circular, and the five herdsmen ran around in a circle, while Zambirus also chased them.

Just when Zambirus felt bored, the five herdsmen fleeing in front suddenly turned around and rushed towards him.

The two faced each other, and the distance was instantly shortened. Zambirus shouted, flew out his arms, and fought with the fists of the two herdsmen, one on the left and the other on the right.

The bones of his fist were thick and strong, and the blow was neither painful nor itchy, but the two herdsmen howled and pushed back with their fists.

A herdsman in front of him also clasped his fists and swung them down, but Zambirus shook his neck and hit him with his hairless forehead.

The herdsman's clasped fists were knocked apart in one blow, and his chest was also opened. Zambirus took a step forward to catch up, lowered his body and bumped his head, knocking the herdsman two meters away in the air.

After falling to the ground, he wanted to cry out in pain, but he only opened his mouth wide and no sound came out. He kept punching his chest with trembling fists in a hurry.

But just when Zambirus was about to pursue him and knock down the remaining two herdsmen, the herdsman who had fallen to the ground and huddled on the ground happened to be at the feet of the guards. Zambirus was only focused on attacking, but he didn't see the guy who was knocked down at his feet.

He stepped on the opponent with one foot, and the herdsman shrank his body, causing the foot that would have hit the target to miss.

"Hey? Hey?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, the soles of his front feet spread apart and he did a big split.

Fortunately, he was wearing a battle skirt, otherwise the crotch of the armor would have been completely torn off, which would have made him heartbroken.

Even so, Zambirus, who had a sinister face, let out a strange cry.

"Earl——"

The scream was high-pitched and weird, hardly like a sound that a middle-aged strong man could make.

His front legs rested on the fallen herdsman, while his hind legs slid backwards due to the soft grass, and he pulled straight into a crosshair, stunned the surrounding herdsmen of Jingshui Ranch who were watching.

Mr. Pavey had a weird look on his face, covering his crotch with both hands, clamping the thing tightly, as if he felt the same thing.

Lubis sighed, closed his eyes, and raised his head, unwilling to see what happened next. He regretted a little. He should have been allowed to play just now, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened.

Kayan pursed his lips tightly, really not daring to laugh, otherwise Zambirus would fix him when he went back.

However, it is impossible not to tell the fellow guardsmen who came out to fight this time about this matter. This is a vivid combat example. Everyone must be careful about this, right?

Maybe it seems like their guards usually have to practice stretching their legs?

-

Zambirus was swarmed by the herdsmen and fell to the ground and lost.

Even though he endured severe pain and waved his fists to knock away the approaching herdsmen again and again, the other party saw that he had pulled the base of his legs and could not move. Therefore, after several attacks, Zambirus was killed by the herdsmen. He was crushed from behind, and then several people pounced on him, completely suppressing him and defeating him.

Hobbling back, Kayan pursed his lips tightly to prevent himself from laughing, and quickly went up to support his companion.

Zambirus covered his face with his hands, he was too embarrassed to see his companions again.

"Boy, just laugh if you want. Why are you holding back?"

Glancing at Kayan from between his fingers, Zambirus said extremely depressed.

"It's okay. I'm afraid I'll get beaten by you if I laugh. It's just a little bit worse. I stood firm just now. I've almost won by now."

Kayan turned his head and started rambling.

"Hey, you kid."

There was a tearing feeling in his crotch. Fortunately, he had practiced kicking in normal combat training. At this time, he was pulled in a straight line, so he was not completely unable to walk.

Next to him, Lubis took off his long sword and shield, and there were two daggers at his waist, and two daggers hidden behind his back.

Five weapons in total, one shield removed. He had never been wearing a helmet, which was just around his waist. He took off his helmet from his waist and placed it on the shield on the ground. He walked silently to the middle of the open space.

The young herdsmen who had been beaten in the previous battle staggered up. You helped me, and I held on to your support to stand still.

"How about letting them rest first?"

Lubis didn't want to take advantage too much, so he mentioned it to the old man at the ranch.

"They don't need to rest, they need this." Contrary to his and all the outsiders' expectations, the old man just raised the wooden stick in his hand high. On the head of the stick was carved a horse head image, his eyes flashed, and a horse neighed. There was a sound, and then a colorful light visible to the naked eye emitted from the head of the wooden staff, shining on the six young herdsmen who were barely standing.

The colorful light was rich and full of power, and the six herdsmen immediately changed after it was illuminated.

The purple bruise on the cheek where he had been punched disappeared, and the dull pain in his body disappeared, and he became full of strength. The six people immediately stood up straight and became excited.

"Oh! It's the old man's magic! It's magic!"

Several young people shouted loudly.

The old man corrected him: "It is the power of the God of Animal Husbandry. He will only provide inspiration to brave warriors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned the head of his staff so that the horse-shaped sculpture on the top of the staff looked at the two injured guards.

Both Kayan and Zambirus were relieved of their pain immediately. Although Zambirus still felt the roots of his legs were burning, it was at least much better than before.

"And treat everyone equally!"

Some of the herdsmen who were watching loudly shouted words and short songs in praise of the Horse-headed God.

But the old man had to correct the children: "It's the God of Animal Husbandry. It's the God of Animal Husbandry!"

But only a few of the herdsmen who were close corrected the name of the god, and most of them still called the horse-headed god.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lubis seemed to hear a sigh from the direction of the old man. He didn't know whether it was the old man's sigh or the cane.

But none of this matters.

He turned his head and looked at his opponent. The six young herdsmen had recovered as before and were in particularly high spirits. They are eager to try, ready to defeat these outsiders in one fell swoop and successfully protect the weak and beautiful Fanny. Maybe Fanny will marry one of them.

It must be me! Each of them thought so.

So, the six people looked at each other and rushed towards the last outsider to fight.

-

Lubis smiled slightly, moved his feet to the left in small steps, and then rushed forward.

Lowering his body slightly to avoid a young man's fist, Lubis then raised his left hand and pressed the heel of his palm against the young man's chin.

In just one moment, the young man's eyes lost their energy.

He was knocked unconscious.

After that, Lubis propped himself up on the front of his left foot, lay his upper body back, and avoided another young man rushing towards him.

He pulled the young man's leather robe with his right hand, and he fell to the ground.

All of a sudden, the young man was knocked to the ground by the force of his body weight.

He then punched the young man's neck and pinched it. The herdsman shuddered and passed out.

Then there were several unsightly but useful sideways rolls, and he avoided several heavy foot tramples.

He half-crouched with his palms on his hands and glanced at the four young men rushing over.

Seeing that they were still chasing in a hurry, Lubis smiled slightly, and his half-crouched body suddenly jumped up from the ground, like a grasshopper jumping up with its wings.

What followed was a kick flying forward.

The force of his kick far exceeded that of the other two guards, and even exceeded the fighting skills of these herdsmen.

The reason is that his leg will not kick out early, but will accurately calculate the distance. When kicking out, the moment the whole leg is straightened, it will hit the opponent accurately.

This not only utilizes the straight force of kicking out the legs, but also utilizes the impact force of the entire body.

The two items added together are naturally powerful.

At this time, the herdsman who was kicked several meters and flew away is the best example.

Everyone screamed in surprise, never expecting to be kicked so far away.

At the same time, another herdsman next to him grabbed Lubis's right arm. He was so excited that a companion next to him also locked Lubis's other arm. Once both arms were controlled, they won half the battle.

But before his companion could respond, Lubis stretched out his foot and hooked and pulled the ankle of the young herdsman, pulling the herder down as he retreated.

Then he raised his left fist and knocked the young man unconscious with one punch.

While retreating, Lubis released his trapped right arm, and then rushed straight towards the last two herdsmen.

The two men came to their senses at this time and knew that they had encountered an opponent they could not deal with, but they did not intend to give up and decided to fight until the end.

The two men charged together and punched Lubis at the same time.

But Lubis did not take the attack. He lowered his body, kicked his legs sideways, and got out of the way of the two men.

He stretched out his hand to grab the legs and arms of the approaching herdsman, pushed forward sideways with both legs, and knocked down the other person behind him with the captured herdsman.

Then he twisted his waist and threw the captured herdsman to the ground.

He pounced on him and knocked the person unconscious with one punch, then pounced on the last person.

-

Clapping his hands, Lubis stood up.

Six young and strong herdsmen were lying on the ground, three from left and three from right. The surrounding herdsmen were stunned because the attack and defense speed of this battle was too fast. From the beginning to the end, it didn't even take a minute. The young men fighting on the field were given time to think, and the entire battle was over before even the onlookers came to their senses.

They only saw their own children being knocked to the ground one after another. Each time was a powerful blow, and they were knocked unconscious after one hit. It was really fatal.

"It's really awesome!"

Mr. Pavey looked at the baron's personal guard Lubis who had re-armed with envy, and kept praising him.

He didn't say anything when he watched the other two guards fighting just now, because in his opinion, the skills of these two people were just that. Although they were somewhat capable, they were not weak among the local soldiers.

But Lubis' movements and fighting surprised him, because he had never seen anyone with such outstanding fighting ability before. Although he was still a mountain away from his knight uncle, he was already the best he had ever seen fighting with bare hands. The most powerful.

Because he could see that Lubis had not used all his strength in the battle just now. Every blow was effective but not excessive.

He couldn't help but walk over and greet Lubis with a smile, wanting to get acquainted with him again.

But the conversation between Lubis and the two guards made him a little confused.

"How was it? The battle just now? How much worse is it compared to Little Kil." Lubis, who was dressed again, said to the two town guards, and at the same time handed over the weapons of the two on the ground.

Kayan, who took over his weapon, flattened his mouth and said reluctantly: "It's not bad, almost."

But the upright Zambirus also took over the weapon and said: "Little Kil probably fought head-on with a few herdsmen, and then knocked them all down?"

Smoothing his mouth, Lubis felt that he was really embarrassed when he defeated the second herdsman just now, and he should not have chosen the tactic of falling to the ground: "I think so, the second man didn't respond well."

No more talking about this, the three of them sorted themselves out and looked at the old leader of the herdsmen: "Since we won, please hand over the girl."

The old man nodded: "It should be so." He waved his hand and asked a middle-aged ranch steward behind him to bring the people out and hand them over to these people. Then he paused with his cane, and the six young people who had been knocked unconscious woke up immediately.

The old man then turned around and returned to the dark house with the help of others. Most of the other herdsmen watching the excitement dispersed and went about their own work.

The six young men squatted on the ground, rubbing the area where they had been hit and unable to raise their heads in shame, because next to them, a young girl in bright clothes was pushed out by a middle-aged ranch steward.

A thug with an algae head was walking aside helplessly. He didn't think he could beat these people, because he had been hiding and watching during the fight. He knew he couldn't beat any of them.

"Are you Fanny?"

Lubis asked.

The thin young girl did not speak, but leaned down and touched the young man who dared to fight for her one by one. That was the first time she felt reliable and safe.

Even if it's just for a short moment.

"It doesn't matter, you have done a good job."

The young girl cried and whispered.

"Are you Fanny?"

"Yes. Please take me away. If you want to kill me, it's up to you." The young girl said angrily, staring straight at the tall Lubis with tear-filled eyes.

"Oh, I don't want your life. I just need you to go back and tell me what happened last night."

"Why?"
