Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kil's breathing was steady. Even after a continuous battle and another set of combos from this man, his physical strength was almost gone.

Obviously, the enemy on the opposite side has not yet had sufficient experience in high-intensity combat, and does not know how to estimate and distribute his own physical strength, so he consumes it all at once.

In this case, Kiel will naturally not let go of such an advantage.

The counterattack was launched immediately.

The body is still sideways, the left arm is stretched forward, and the shield stands erect on the chest, making it easier to move the arms for defense. The long sword in his right hand was raised uncharacteristically. This action seemed silly, but it was a well-designed attack by Kil.

The footsteps staggered forward quickly, and the wooden floor made a thumping sound under the heavy boots.

The opponent would not wait to be beaten, and immediately wanted to use his light movement to get behind Kiel.

But Kiel used the narrow terrain of the aisle to limit the opponent's plans. When the enemy on the opposite side moved slightly toward the wall, Kiel just moved his shield along with it, using the shield to limit the opponent's possibility of movement.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the enemy on the opposite side retreated, while Kil pursued him. When he saw that the distance was right, he immediately swung his long sword down hard.

If he were to dodge this sword strike, Kil would be followed by a series of powerful and heavy swings. There would be no room for him to dodge in the narrow corridor.

Thinking of this, the young enemy gritted his teeth, and a pair of daggers crossed in an X shape to block the path of Kil's long sword.

But he made a mistake in his judgment. The enemy thought that Kil's long sword was the same as his weapon, just an ordinary steel sword.

But alas, that is not the case.

This was a magical weapon that was beyond his expectations.

Very heavy.

It's just that Kil's arm is strong, so it looks like an ordinary steel sword in battle.

Qiang——

The staggered sound of impact and flying sparks showed that Kiel's attack was full of force.

But then he didn't slow down, and it seemed that the two daggers were useless in blocking him. What frightened the young enemy.

At this moment, he watched helplessly as Kil's long sword pressed down on the two daggers. Even though he used all his strength in his raised arms, the weight of the long sword belt exceeded his expectations. The force coming was still unstoppable.

At this moment, Kil narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that this man was different from ordinary gang thugs. He obviously had some status within the Yisi Blade Head Gang.

He had thought when he saw this man commanding other thugs before. This guy's attire was obviously no ordinary person, and the weapons he used were even more so.

Maybe this person is related to the murder of the merchants who accompanied their army caravan the day before yesterday. Maybe it is this person, maybe not, but it is obviously possible.

In this case, we can't kill this person now, we have to wait until the girl Fanny can identify and confess.

With this thought, Kil moved his wrist slightly, deflected the sword that was aimed at the man's head, and struck it on the man's shoulder.

boom! Hissing——

Slightly beyond Kiel's expectation, there seemed to be protective padding underneath the other party's ordinary clothes. However, this kind of leather padding, which may be able to resist ordinary daggers, fists and feet, has no effect on the long sword in Kil's hand for hunting.

It only blocks it slightly, then splits and chops into the flesh.

The opponent's shoulder muscles were strong, but to no avail. The long sword didn't stop until it cut off the collarbone and part of the shoulder blade, a few centimeters into the flesh.

It's not that Kil can't cut the opponent off along the shoulder with one sword, it's just to save his life.

"Ah——, cough cough, vomit——"

Kiel's heavy blow directly knocked down the young enemy. Although he still held the weapon in his hand, he fell to his knees directly. The severe pain made the man's face turn white. He kicked him After pulling out the long sword from his chest, he could only collapse on the ground, gasping for air, and then scream in pain.

"The hilt!"

"Boss Hilt! How are you?"

Seeing that Kil had chopped down their little leader with just one blow, the gang thugs who had not rushed up just now shouted loudly.

And with a ferocious expression, he screamed and killed Kil.

But Kil just kicked away the young enemy nicknamed "Handle" who was blocking the way on the walkway, and then raised his shield to fight.

Keir consciously tried not to kill anyone, so in the face of the swung stick, Keel just cut off the thug's wrist. Facing the stabbing dagger, Kil just rotated his wrist on the thug's forearm, letting the sharp long sword blade chip away at the thug's forearm muscles, revealing the white and bloody flesh protected by the skin and muscles. bone.

"Devil! # ￥###!"

"My hand! Can you pick it up? Can you pick it up?"

In just ten seconds, the thugs who had just rushed back wailed, not even daring to stay in the house. They rushed directly through the opened door to the yard outside, squatting and kneeling on the ground, wailing in pain.

When the militiamen and soldiers on the roofs on both sides saw this, they saw that these people were afraid of being beaten, so they just fired a few arrows at the ground outside them forcefully, and did not continue to attack.

The thugs also squatted on the ground obediently.

"Trash!" A disdainful curse came from the house directly opposite the house where Keir was.

Hearing this voice, all the non-resisting gang thugs lowered their heads and did not dare to fight back with their skilled swear words.

"They're all a bunch of trash."

-

Keir fought off these gang thugs, then immediately turned around and stabbed the 'hilt' on the ground on each of his legs, causing this guy injuries that were not fatal but hindered his movement.

He then turned around and went to help Zambirus, who was struggling to resist the siege and attack by several people.

As for Zambirus, it's not that his skills and equipment are not good, it's just that he was unlucky to choose a place that was not suitable for fighting.

Facing several gang thugs rushing towards him, he was completely at ease. As long as the thugs on the side stabbed him in the waist with daggers, it was difficult for these thugs' weapons to cause any harm due to the guard armor he was wearing.

But the position was not good. Although several thugs who had fallen down and were pressed could not get up from the crowd, they could still reach out and grab Zambirus' calf, or trip him.

"You damn guys are so annoying!"

Zambirus was so angry that he swung his sword downwards and cut off several fingers of a guy. He then raised his foot and stomped down hard, crushing the ankle of a nasty thug with his combat boots.

The wails of the two annoying guys greatly relieved Zambirus, even though he had just been beaten twice by the thugs from the front.

Keir then attacked from the side of these thugs. This time Keir learned his lesson and wanted to defeat these thugs but did not want to kill them. So Kil directly greeted these people's thighs, slashed them with his sword, penetrated deeply into the flesh and knocked on the bones. The thugs who shouted louder would immediately drop their weapons and fall to the ground wailing.

"Hey, Kil! I don't need your help, I can handle it."

Zambirus retorted, but Kil just smiled: "No need to thank you."

"You guy."

After dealing with the stubborn resisters, Kil looked around and saw that many of the previously unsteady thugs in the corridor had already taken advantage of the fighting to hide.

But the general rule is that it is in a house. Except for the windows on the side facing the yard, this gang's house has no windows elsewhere. Where do these people plan to hide?

How funny.

Kil directly lifted up his bloody visor, put his hand in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

This was agreed before coming down. After hearing his whistle, Lubis would leave only two militiamen above, and the others would come down together. They didn't need to jump directly from the roof when they came down. There were some moldy wooden boards in the attic of the residents behind them. They could put them directly on the narrow gap between the two houses. After coming directly, they could jump down safely from the top.

Sure enough, just as Keir and Zambirus were hurriedly tying the hands of the injured and uninjured thugs on the ground, there was a continuous sound of "dong dong dong" falling to the ground on the second floor of the house.

The sound was really loud. No wonder as soon as they landed, someone came up to see what was going on. It turned out that what was heard below was clear.

Soon, Lubis came down from upstairs with his men, and they were holding down a guy who was wrapped up tightly. The man was already awake, but his hands and head were tied like this, and he couldn't see anything.

The ground on the first floor was covered with splattered blood and broken fingers and meat after the battle. There were also many ear-piercing wailings, which obviously surprised several members of the Nightingale Squad militia.

"Are you two okay?" Lubis asked with a frown. It was because both of them were covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether they were injured or not.

"It's okay, both of us are okay. Bring someone over here to take over. There are many more in the house here."

Lubis waved his hand: "Just leave it to us. You two quickly go to support the house at the back door. From the sound of the soldier captain, it seems that he has never taken it."

While he was talking, the door of the house with a shop in front facing the yard was broken open by a huge figure and rushed out. It was none other than the knight of Anvina in steel armor.

Following the knight were a dozen local soldiers holding swords.

Kil glanced at Lubius, nodded, and led Zambirus out of the house.

"Oh, Kil. Good job." The knight saw some of the gang thugs surrendering in the yard and gave Kil a simple compliment.

Then Keir said loudly: "Sir, I will go to the back to support you."

The knight waved his hand and motioned for Keir to come over.

He himself was staring at the house on the other side. Under his gaze, a middle-aged man walked out of the door of the house.

The visitor was wearing a compact, sophisticated and colorfully patterned unknown animal leather coat. Some areas of the leather coat that were easily exposed to the outside world were covered with a thin layer of velvet. I wonder if it was an illusion, but no one present heard the sound of this man moving. It seemed as if this person was walking on the ground in the yard, just like stepping on a carpet, without making a sound.

This man's face was covered with a mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed on his face. There were two thick tubes under the mask connected to the nose and behind the ears. Kil seemed to have an illusion that this man didn't even make a sound of breathing. If he couldn't see the middle-aged man's strong chest rising and falling with his naked eyes, he wouldn't even know if this man was breathing.

This man's hair is half white and half black, and everyone can tell at a glance that this man is probably not young, at least in his forties.

Knight Anvina raised his helmet slightly: "Did you steal the treasure last year in my territory?"

"Hmph." A disdainful snort came from under the middle-aged man's mask. Although he didn't answer, he answered instead.

The knight's voice was full of emotion: "Do you know how much trouble this has brought me? Hmm? Thief Yisi?"

The other party didn't answer, he just glanced around, not knowing what he was doing.

The knight was obviously irritated by the other party's indifferent attitude: "I am talking to you, questioning you as a knight and a lord, thief!"

Geir drew his sword and stood there, not supporting the back door of the house.

The knight also noticed Kiel's side and immediately waved behind him: "Go, follow the Kendall people from the north to support your captain."

"Yes, sir."

More than a dozen soldiers responded in unison, bypassing the strange confrontation between the two men in the middle of the yard, and came to behind Kiel from the door of the house where Kiel had just come out.

"Sir?" As soon as Kil asked, Knight Anvina waved his hand vigorously, apparently asking Kil to continue to support the soldier captain.

Keir immediately turned around, led his men to break open the closed door of the back door of the house, and fought his way in.

The soldiers also filed in.

-

Knight Anvina shook his head: "What are you waiting for? Waiting for your subordinates to be gradually wiped out?"

While he was talking, Lubis was leading people to break open the door of the house, find and tie up the gang thugs who had been hiding before.

Knight Anvina, like other knights, has a very good ear. Naturally, he can hear that as time goes by, his side has gained the upper hand. The members of the Yisi Blade Head Gang who were blocked in their lair were all captured early in the morning. It's just a matter of time.

The other party did not answer, and the knight lost his patience. Although the other party's strength was unknown, he was not afraid of anything. When he served in the army, he had experienced hundreds of battles, and had dealt with all kinds of weird and difficult grass sea monsters. Although he had never fought against such a powerful thief before, he did not think he would lose.

Making up his mind, he immediately roared low and rushed forward.

The two giant axes held in both hands were crossed in front of him.

This time the middle-aged thief named Yisi finally reacted, and when he took action, he indeed had two brushes.

Compared to the powerful and heavy attack of Knight Anvina, the middle-aged thief's movements were not slow at all. He lowered his body in an instant, and then his whole body turned out to be like a bug. He was close to the ground but did not touch the ground and quickly sided. move towards.

Directly dodged the Anvina Knight's giant ax attack.

The knight had no intention of slowing down, and he rushed straight away like a wild boar, crashing into the side of the house where the thief Yisi just walked out with a bang.

The side wall of the house built of solid rough wood and mud bricks was directly knocked down by the knight, leaving a hole. The knight waved two giant axes with both arms, knocking away the wooden blocks and scattered mud bricks that were pressed against him, and turned to look behind him. A middle-aged thief who stabbed with bare hands.

The knight slashed with his backhand, and a giant ax drove back the strangely attacking thief with a horrifying whirring sound.

The thief's strange behavior just now made Knight Anwena feel very strange: "What are you doing? Are you kidding me? Don't think I will try to capture you alive, there is no need!"

The two axes were raised high, and then fell heavily to the ground.

There was a loud bang, and the dirt and gravel on the ground flew around in an instant. The knight also saw the opponent's dexterous movements, so he used this method to force the thief.

But facing the exploding stones and earth that could hit the steel armor with sparks, the middle-aged thief just stepped back a few meters away from the knight, keeping his whole body close to the ground, and actually dodged all the scattered stones. Pebbles.

The gang thugs who had just surrendered and laid waste in the backyard suffered a disaster. They were immediately beaten to a bloody head, wailing and rolling on the ground holding the injured area.

"Uncle! Do you want us to throw short spears and kill him?"

On the roof, Mr. Pavey shouted to the Anvina knights fighting in the yard. Beside him, several local soldiers had already taken the short throwing spears carried on their backs, and everyone was eager to try.

They were not afraid of hurting the lord knight. The short spears in their hands were not capable of piercing thick steel armor, so if they were thrown out later, they would only kill the slick gang leader.

The Anvina knight stood up from the cracked ground and waved a pair of giant axes in his hands. The air flow fanned by the broad ax surface directly scattered the smoke and dust around him: "No need. Yes, but be ready."

"Okay, okay."

Pavel felt a little regretful.

-

At this moment, several strange bird calls suddenly came from the second floor of the house where the middle-aged thief came out.

This is obviously a bird call imitated by humans, but I don’t know what it means.

But the middle-aged thief obviously knew.

He stood up instantly from lying on the ground, rolled backwards, and uttered his first complete sentence after walking out of the house.

"Rusvis Anvina." His voice was deep and powerful, and his words were clear: "How about we play a game together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Knight Anvina could reply, several large transparent glass bottles were thrown out from the second floor of the house where the birds chirping had just been heard.

The bottle contains liquid, but it is abnormally composed of two liquids, silvery white and jet black. Miraculously, the two liquids are intertwined with each other but do not mix. They are mixed in the bottle and tumble violently as someone throws it out. flow.

Snap, snap, snap, snap.

Four large glass bottles fell to the ground, and there was no reason why they wouldn't break.

The liquid inside instantly spilled to the ground, everywhere.

As soon as it comes into contact with the air, this entangled and mixed liquid exhibits strange phenomena.

The silver-white liquid reacted violently with the pitch-black liquid, causing a large amount of thick black smoke to billow and expand from the ground. This black smoke did not float directly towards the sky like the smoke produced by firewood during cooking. Instead, it quickly expanded and spread in a bowl shape.

Everything engulfed in black smoke immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.

It's not that it's gone, it's just that it's blocked and can't be seen.

The blackness quickly enveloped the yard, and then swallowed up the four surrounding houses, and then swallowed up the surrounding residential houses. Only then did it reach its limit, and stayed in place, but it never dispersed.

-

Knight Anvina realized something was wrong when the two liquids spilled on the ground. He even used his boots to vigorously twist the liquid on the ground, but it had no effect. A large amount of black smoke still emerged from the gap under the boots, and instantly Swallowing the tall man inside.

But soon, the knight became quiet, because although he couldn't see anything, his ears could still hear the thugs' wails and surprised cries.

He immediately realized that the potion's effect was only to produce a black smoke that obscured his vision.

"Hmph, it really does behave like rats that come out at night." He cursed.

But the middle-aged thief's voice floated around the knight:

"It's interesting, isn't it? My lord?"

"The juice from the root system of the swamp glowing grass is mixed with the blood of the dark beast. After a simple adjustment, as long as it comes into contact with the air, a large amount of accumulated smoke will explode for a long time." The voice said teasingly.

Suddenly far and now near, now forward and now behind, now left and now right, erratic.

Knight Anvina tried to swing the giant ax in his hand randomly, but it had no effect at all. The thief's voice even sounded behind him.

"I haven't killed a knight yet. Haha, I think this game will be very interesting."

"you are dreaming!!"

the knight shouted affirmatively.
