Mercenaries and Adventurers

Hundreds of Kendall militiamen were healed by the tiny green light seeds flying from the middle of the carriage, and they all regained their previously damaged hearing at this time.

They were summoned by Baron Kendall and quickly moved towards the center of the carriage one by one.

The originally spacious aisle in the carriage house where horses could run quickly became crowded with people. The baron's guards and attendants received the baron's instructions and guided the militiamen to continue moving inward from the gaps in the carriage. All the crossbows were received in advance. The crossbow militiamen were arranged on the tops of each carriage and on the seats of the carriage drivers. With the barons and priests as the center, they all directed their crossbow attacks outward.

This seemingly ordinary move successfully solved the previous situation where the militiamen were unable to use crossbows to shoot the harpies on a large scale.

Since the arrows are fired from the center outward, the arrows fired are no longer likely to injure one's own people, allowing one to launch a vigorous offensive.

The melee militiamen holding spears gathered in a full circle outside the carriage, and their long and dangerous spears extended outwards, surrounding and protecting the entire carriage with metal spikes.

From a distance, it looks like a hedgehog sleeping on the ground.

At this time, Kil had joined up with Knight Rumi. They had been assisting the peripheral militiamen to resist the attacks of monsters that kept falling from the sky. At this time, the soldiers gathered together again, and the monsters in the sky were also because of Knight Crow's extreme boldness. He launched an attack on the big harpy monster leader and successfully injured the opponent, which angered all the harpy monster groups.

At this moment, it is being besieged by all monsters in the sky.

"Claw! Riding the priest's coin monster, don't resist!"

Baron Kendall persuaded him loudly with a livid face, but he himself didn't know if his shouting at this time could be heard by Knight Crow who was among the monsters.

The top of the army's head was in chaos. Ever since Knight Crow injured the monster leader, the monsters rushing over have been screaming loudly and randomly for a moment.

Although it is not certain whether the harpies among the monsters have their own original language, most people in Kendall feel at this time that the screams of these monsters are probably not good words.

"You have to help Crow. Sir, where is your magic? Use it!"

Knight Rumi jumped several times, found a gap on the top of the carriage and jumped in from the outside. He opened his mouth and asked the baron to use magic to save people.

But the Baron looked embarrassed, and he was a little hesitant: "But I'm afraid that magic will hurt Crowe. Maybe the monster can't hurt him, but the magic that helps him rescue him will hurt him."

He explained: "You know, your knight's steel armor has strong protection against normal damage, but not magic. Steel's resistance to magic is only average."

This sentence stumped Knight Rumi. Baron Kendall was right. Even though the magic gemstone staff in the baron's hand was only a small length, it posed a threat to their knights far more than a hundred. The intensive shooting of crossbows.

"Then what should we do? Just stay in a stalemate like this? This battle will not end until the monster falls down!"

Knight Rumi was also quite upset. The several throwing spears he held in his hand were neither aimed at the sky nor fired at all.

When he shot into the sky, he was afraid that he would not be able to hit the monster, but instead would fall down and kill one of his own people after losing all his strength. If you don't cum, just doing it like this and looking confused is not an option.

At this moment, Kil also judged the situation at the scene. Obviously, the Crow Knight who was fighting in the sky was trapped and needed help.

He gritted his teeth, jumped off the sweaty horse, pushed aside the crowded militia bodies, and ran quickly towards the more than forty-meter-high earth square pillar slightly in the middle of the carriage.

Keir had no intention of bypassing the row of carriages blocking the road, and climbed directly under the body of the carriage.

There are a lot of people crowded here, and some militiamen who were injured before were arranged here by their companions.

Their condition at this time was slightly better than when they were injured before. The healing spell cast by the Church of the God of Agriculture healed them a little. Although it could not be completely cured, the wounds quickly formed blood scabs. As long as they were no longer touched, If it's rotten, you can just wait for the wound to grow back later.

Kiel had just helped rescue a lot of injured militiamen, so at this time, the wounded who were barely resting under the carriage body, when they saw Kiel trying to pass by, they all moved away and gave way to Kiel. open circuit.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."

Kil kept nodding his thanks to the soldiers who made way for him. Time was precious, and it was most important to help Knight Crow in time.

In this way, he crawled under the carriage, then stood up and squeezed through the other militiamen blocking the gap between the carriage. He once again got under the carriage deeper in a circle.

There are no wounded here this time, only a few spiritual militiamen hiding here for some unknown reason.

Kil glanced at these people and found that they were highly concentrated at this time, counting and biting the scattered broken coins that they had collected before.

"Hate."

Keir spat and ignored them. The money wasn't his anyway, and it wasn't his job to manage the army. He couldn't meddle in their own business.

Passing through the bottom of the carriage again, this time Kiel approached the square pillar of earth rising abruptly from the flat grassland.

This thing is two meters long, square, and very tall. It looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

It is even more horrifying at first glance how this thing was controlled and produced by one person in a very short period of time.

There were many soldiers and guards surrounding the square pillar of earth, but no one rushed to get close to it. Keir didn't know what he meant, but as soon as he squeezed through people and got closer, there were Kendall town guards next to him and grabbed Kei. you.

"Be careful, this thing will hurt people if you touch it. No one can get close to this thing made by adults."

Kil slapped the guard's hand that was holding his arm away: "I know, but let me try." He looked up at the top of everyone's head, where the monsters were gathered together, their wings were flying, and they couldn't be seen at all. The figure of Knight Crow and the leader of the harpy monster in the center is unclear. I don't know what the situation of the knight is.

"Sir, someone needs to help. We can't just watch."

"Then what do you want? How to help Lord Knight Crow?"

Kil adjusted his steel armor gloves, and then took out the wooden training doll that Knight Crow gave him from the bag on the right back of his belt. With his fingers slightly numb, he stuck the thing on the chest of the steel armor. Pin it.

"Climb up and fight. That's it."

After saying that, Keir no longer cared about what other people thought, and directly held the edge of the square pillar of earth with his hand. This thing was raised directly from the ground. The edges were mottled and rough. Although the earth was slightly dense and solid, because of this, On the contrary, it is very easy to climb.

Kil directly grabbed the edge of the wall of the square earth pillar with his hands and pressed his body against it.

Holding his fingers and soles on the rough edges of the square pillar, he could feel a repulsive and damaging force attacking the parts of his body that came into contact with this thing.

But if it were before, Kil would still be surprised at what was going on, but now after being trained by Knight Crow, he knew that this was the life energy left by Knight Crow in the square pillar of earth, spontaneously following the owner's wishes. Protect this thing.

Until this life energy dissipates naturally, any creature that comes into contact with the square pillar will be damaged and destroyed by this life energy from the powerful knight.

However, Kil has been receiving training from Knight Crow before. He has recently become quite familiar with this power, and he also has the knowledge and skills to fight against this power.

"Mou."

Kil pursed his lips tightly. He no longer needed to rely on the training doll's thrusts, but was directly stimulated by the thing in front of him to further stimulate the life energy in his body.

In the previous battle, his life energy was already very active, but the erosion sensation coming from his hands and feet at this time made the life energy in his body extremely active. All of it spontaneously gathered on his hands and feet, spontaneously resisting the invasion of external life energy.

Not only that, Kil also used the skills given to him by Knight Crow to make the life energy on his fingers and soles not just a stubborn defense, but flow and move, using a circular motion to resist external forces.

And the own life energy that returned from the hands and feet to the body's trunk was somehow cured and strengthened by the sprouts of the god of agriculture inside the body. After flowing for a circle, it roared and roared again and marched into the hands and feet to resist the external life. strength.

In this way, in other people's eyes, except for the cautious and slow movements at the beginning of the climb, Kil's movements later became faster and faster, swinging his hands and feet to grasp the rough surface of the outside of the square pillar of soil, and kept climbing up.

There were also guards nearby who wanted to go up to support Knight Crow, but as soon as they touched the square pillar of earth, they let out a cry of pain. They reluctantly endured the pain and climbed up a few meters. Then they could no longer bear it, and fell down with twitching hands and feet.

Fortunately, there were people crowded underneath, and everyone opened their arms to catch them.

Looking at the hands and feet of the fallen person, I found that there was no blood in the palms, and they were all blue and white, and even slightly purple, as if the arm was pressed down while sleeping, causing severe ischemia and hypoxia in the arm.

But soon, the battlefield healing spell jointly released by the two Saturnine priests did not stop. The tiny green light seeds that flew over found the injury that needed to be healed again, and immediately plunged into the body of the fallen person. Inside, the condition of my hands and feet recovered quickly.

Others who did not find the tiny green light seeds that needed treatment could only jump in the air a few times, plunge into the ground full of trampled grass, and quickly grow a translucent and semi-large luminous crop from the ground.

-

When Knight Rumi and Baron Kendall were worried about being unable to help Knight Crow in the air, he turned his head and glanced, and saw Kil in iron armor climbing on the square pillar of earth with his hands and feet, obviously trying to Climb up, what are you doing?

Of course it's a battle, maybe we can support Knight Crow who is at a disadvantage.

"What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?"

He directly tied several bundles of throwing guns to the belt behind him, freed his hands, then accelerated twice on the top of the carriage, and jumped directly to a square dirt pillar more than 40 meters high in one breath.

Knight Rumi was still very stable when he fell, and his hands and feet directly plunged into the surface of the square pillar of earth that was far stronger than ordinary earth. But as soon as he came into contact with this thing, he regretted it very much.

He was attacked by the life energy of Knight Crow.

"Damn it! Crow, look at what you did!"

He complained and moved quickly, trying to climb up, but his actions seemed to annoy the life energy of Knight Crow entrenched in the square pillar of earth.

Kil's strength is still limited, so this large amount of remaining life energy does not take Kil's seriously. But Knight Rumi is different. After all, he has the strength of a formal knight. He has accumulated a large amount of his own life energy in his body. This thing is incompatible with other people's life energy. They will fight at the slightest contact. At this time, they are more active when provoked.

The result of the activity is that the life energy left by Knight Crow in the square pillar of the soil attacks Knight Rumi in large quantities. Even because of the qualitative change of the elements, these earth-yellow life energy subconsciously drives the soil, hitting and climbing horizontally. Climbing Rumi Knight.

Knight Rumi was resisting the battle between life energies and kept climbing up quickly. But suddenly, the entire wall he was climbing jumped out, directly pushing against him and sending him flying. Come on.

"Hey, hey, what's going on! Do you want this! Damn it! Damn it!"

Knight Rumi had quickly climbed more than 20 meters, but when he was hit like this, he fell from the air.

Seeing that he was about to try his best to swing his body to master the falling position, but he would still hit the dense soldiers on the ground. Baron Kendall reached out and pushed, and a magic missile suddenly flew out from the short gem staff, heading straight towards Knight Rumi flew through the air as he fell.

Knight Rumi saw it clearly, and when he missed it directly from the magic missile narration, he stretched out his hand to grab the magic missile, and then the whole person was carried horizontally by this thing for several meters.

Being caught by the heavy armored knight's hand, this is also a great interference and damage to the magic missile composed entirely of magic power. Therefore, it only flew a few more meters before it flew away from the thin magic shell. Broken, the whole thing collapsed inwards and was destroyed.

But Knight Rumi regained control of his body balance, and then the final force of the magic missile accurately landed in a slightly gap in the crowd.

It just knocked down a few militiamen beside it when it fell.

-

Here, Knight Rumi failed to climb, and only Kil was still climbing up. He moved quickly, and now he had climbed past the height that Knight Rumi had climbed to before, and he was not affected by the dirt like Knight Rumi. The life force inside the square pillar counterattacked and fell.

Baron Kendall took a deep breath and thought of a way. He said to the Priest of the God of Wealth, who was still kneeling on the top of the carriage and protected by several shield-wielding guards: "Priest Rosari, your That monster, no, an animal made of a lot of coins, uh, a warrior, that coin warrior, can it still fly now? What's the situation?"

Priest Rosari had obviously been paying attention to whether there was any way to reverse the situation after Knight Crow was trapped. Therefore, as soon as the baron asked, he immediately answered, but his eyes were still tightly closed: "Sir, Simulacrum Warrior Although its condition is not as good as when it was first released, it can still fly and fight. It’s just that it probably won’t be able to deal with so many harpies in the sky at this time.”

"It's good if you can fly. Then please let go of the monster leader, fly down and catch the boy Kil, and take up Knight Rumi with him, and fly up to fight. As long as Crow is out of trouble, I can also use it here Magic weapons and props attack the harpies and suppress their flying height."

But the originally expressionless middle-aged priest showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Sir, the flight of the simulacra warrior is entirely supported by the divine power within it. It cannot support the weight of two armed knights and an armor-piercing warrior at all. It will be It will fall apart under pressure.”

The baron widened his eyes and asked directly: "Tell me, how much can it carry at most?"

"At most one knight, a warrior like Kiel."

The baron said directly: "Then quickly lower down to catch Kil, and then go up and rescue Crowe! Let the two of them fight above the monster's head to suppress the monster's height!"

"As you command, my lord."

-

As soon as the conversation ended, in the tangled group of monsters in the sky, the golden coin monster suddenly folded its wings, and the coin limbs entangled in the monster leader's claws were loosened, and then relied on its own weight to pass through the multi-headed eagle body. Blocked by the attack of human monsters, he escaped from the group of monsters and fell down.

Then as soon as it escaped, it spread its wings, drew an arc and quickly descended, quickly approaching the climbing Kil.

"Kiel, jump to the simulacra warriors of the Church of the God of Wealth! Quick! Look for the opportunity!"

The Baron shouted towards Kil in the air.

When Kil turned his head, he saw the gold coin monster gliding from the side and behind.

Without thinking much, he directly pushed his feet against the square earth pillar wall and used the force to fly backwards.

The simulacra warrior controlled by Priest Rosari accelerated and held Kil in the flat place between the two wings on his back.

"Okay! You ride this thing to rescue Crowe first, and then follow his command to push the monster group down. Don't let a monster escape! I want them all to die here today!"

Baron Kendall said these words categorically, making everyone around him feel the Baron's own fighting will.

This firm will cheered up everyone in the army. Since the master of the army still wanted to fight, they would fight to the death for him.

Kill all these monsters flying in the sky!

-

Kil's back fell on the simulated warrior whose body was made entirely of gold and silver coins. The contact area was already hard, and the ax behind his back was stuck, making Kil's body quite uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to take a breath, but the 'coin monster' underneath him tilted slightly due to the height of the climb.

This frightened Kil for a moment. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he fell from this thing.

It is estimated that after lifting the visor, you can see the minced meat and plasma pouring out of his mouth, filling the entire helmet.

Turning over, Kil grabbed the roots of the left and right metal wings with both hands, then spread his legs and barely straddled the back of the thing.

It seemed that he felt that Kil had stabilized his body, so the controlled mimic warrior accelerated its flight and climb, and crashed directly into the group of monsters overhead.

Kil quickly took out the two-handed ax from behind and held it firmly in his hand.

At this time, the ax seemed to feel that there was going to be a big battle. The whole ax was trembling slightly with excitement, and the surface of the ax was shining with blue light.

Keir took the opportunity to look left and right and let out a breath.

"It's crazy!"

He muttered.

It was afternoon, and there were extremely wide green grasslands to the left and right in the sky. The line of sight was unobstructed and could extend to the very distant horizon.

The local caravan in the distance seemed to retreat further, probably frightened by such drastic changes in the situation between humans and monsters.

Whether it was the continuous bursts of divine magic in Kendall's army, or the first time dozens of harpies gathered in the eyes of those who had seen them and were still alive.

They are not powerful forces that they can resist.

So the caravan retreated further.

Kil raised his head and looked at the large group of monsters that had gathered together and fluttered their broad wings randomly. Among the intertwined wings, there seemed to be a trace of a steel-gray fighting figure.

"Roar!"

Kil roared and threw the ax with blue light in his hand forward.
