Mercenaries and Adventurers

Knight Crow was overjoyed. He slapped his head suddenly and realized that the square pillar of earth controlled by the pull of life energy could also be used for attacks in this way.

For a time, he used this method to come up with several similar fighting methods. However, if this method wants to consume less and be effective, it must be used in areas with complex terrain.

On the wide and flat grassland, it is really a waste of time and effort.

"Let this thing lower down and get closer to the tallest dirt pillar!"

Knight Crow ordered, and after receiving the order, Kil immediately slapped the mimic warrior on the back.

When Priest Rosari heard the two people talking, he immediately flew straight down from the circling flight.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Kil yelled in fright, while Knight Crow behind him laughed excitedly.

At this time, riding the coin mimic warrior created by divine magic seemed to make him quite happy, recalling his service life in the Imperial Frontier Knights.

Kiel didn't know what kind of work and life it was like, but judging from Knight Crow's performance at this time, it was obvious that the days at that time made Knight Crow quite happy and comfortable, and unforgettable.

"Pull up!"

Knight Crow had extensive experience riding flying beasts. He was aware of their speed and height and informed Priest Rosali who controlled the Mimic Warriors in advance.

The mimic warriors immediately changed their vertical fall into a horizontal flight, which was very thrilling. They finally hit the ground only a few meters away.

The huge and heavy Mimic Warrior spread its wings of even larger coins and roared past the grass. The wings made of precious metals left a gorgeous golden image in the eyes of everyone who saw it.

Knight Crow pointed his spear at several other slightly lower earth square pillars: "Let's go around and get some things back."

Kil moved the wings of the Mimic Warrior and immediately adjusted the flight direction.

-

But the army here is quite "lively". Previously, Kil and Crow knights were constantly fighting in the sky, and they shot down more than ten harpies in a row. Some were seriously injured, and some were only slightly knocked unconscious. , which kept the troops on the ground very busy.

Knight Rumi's loud orders did not stop for a moment, and he continued to direct the militiamen who had loaded their crossbows to fire at the bodies of the monsters that fell one after another. At the same time, when the monster falls together, he has to notify Baron Kendall, so that Baron Kendall can use magic props to launch powerful magic with amazing power and fast response to attack the monster.

Even if the monster cannot be shot to death with a crossbow, it must at least be ensured that the monster that lands on the ground cannot be alive.

Living monsters are quite difficult to deal with. When the army is crowded, it is easy to cause considerable casualties to the militiamen before being stabbed to death with spears.

Fortunately, although harpies are powerful, much taller than humans, and have tough bodies, they are not particularly heavy. Those who can be hit outside the army by crossbows and spears are the best. If not, Knight Rumi will also gather the spear militiamen at the place where the monster fell, and bravely use their spears to face the monster.

Due to their light weight, the impact of the harpy's landing is not particularly great, not to mention their two wide wings, which have great wind resistance. When they fall, they will be slightly changed in direction by the strong wind, which causes They don't fall as fast as other things fall.

The speed is not fast and the weight is light, so the impact of a natural fall is not that great.

Even if the dense spears are erected, they can still rely on these tough spear shafts to support the strength.

The spear militiamen heard the knight's instructions and mustered up the courage to risk their lives. They boldly gathered together and stretched out their spears toward the sky. More than ten people moved together to face the monster body that had not been intercepted.

In fact, for every harpy monster that is knocked down in the air, as soon as it starts to fall, the militiamen on the ground below will immediately arrange their manpower to intercept the monster's falling body.

After fighting until now, they have understood that if ordinary people want to deal with these damn monsters, they must unite and rely on the strength of everyone to win in this battle where one side is bound to die.

And, no matter what, everyone is watching what happens on the battlefield.

The flag of victory seems to be waving to the side of the Kendal people. As long as they continue to fight like this, it won't take long before they will truly win, win, win.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Baron Kendall had just guided a twisted ball of compressed magic energy to fly into the sky, strangling half of a harpy that flew down to attack. He saw the mimic warrior shining in the sky falling straight from the sky.

"what happened?"

He was a little confused. Priest Rosari did not explain that the mimic warriors he controlled were not powerful enough, so why did they fall straight down like this?

Stumped, something unexpected happened?

Immediately afterwards, more militiamen who were paying attention to the battle in the sky discovered the situation of Kiel and the others falling. This unexpected scene shocked many militiamen. Without these few who knocked down the monsters in the sky, they would not have been able to do so. It won't hurt enemies flying high up.

Today's results are all due to the joint efforts of these few. Of course, Knight Crow has the most results, and everyone has seen this.

"Oh no!!!"

"how come!"

"What's going on? What happened!"

"Fly up, fly up! Fly up!! Fly up quickly!!!"

There were too many people shouting in despair at this moment. No matter how strong the wind was on the grassland, they could not cover up the mixed cries of despair.

As if hearing everyone's expectations, just when it was about to hit the ground, the mimic warrior carrying Kil and Crow knights successfully pulled up again and flew past the grassland close to the ground.

"Thank God!"

"Goddess of Agriculture, you scared me to death!"

"Thank you to the God of Wealth for blessing me. This is all the magic of the God of Wealth! Everyone needs to understand it."

In the midst of everyone's mixed sighs of relief, Baron Kendall withdrew his eyes and looked at Priest Rosari, who was still kneeling on the top of the carriage: "Priest, what's going on? Were you attacked by the monster leader? "

But the priest's answer left him confused: "That's not the case, sir. It's just another idea of ​​Squire Kil's to deal with the monster leader who is difficult to defeat."

"How to do it?"

Baron Kendall knew that if he did not defeat the leader of the monster, let him get rid of the blindness of divine magic, and successfully ran away, he would probably not be able to leave the Strange Wind Grassland, and that guy would definitely gather several times the number of hawks that he has today. Strange people, come here to avenge past shame.

It will be really miserable then.

Well, it’s all the fault of the cowardly business travelers on this trade road. If they hadn’t used the method of offering meat to cross this grassland, even if a large group of caravans only killed one harpy every time they passed by, this would last for many years. After accumulating, these monsters will not be so numerous, and they will be so bold.

Humans have long established a foothold in this area.

A bunch of selfish people.

"It seems that the pillars made by Knight Crow are going to be pointed."

Priest Rosari just said vaguely, and Baron Kendall understood what was going on: "Okay! The army will assist them, but I have a request. Not a single one of the monsters in the sky can be left behind!"

The expressionless Priest Rosari showed a rare embarrassment on his face: "Sir, divine power."

Only then did the baron realize that the priest had warned him before that the mimic warrior's divine power was not enough.

The previous one-on-one battle with the monster leader, and the subsequent process of entangling the monster leader, repairing the mimic body, that is, recalling the coins that were knocked away, spent more divine power.

"Then kill the leader first, and kill as many others as possible!"

"As you command, Lord Baron."

Next to them, the two Saturnine priests who had been maintaining the healing magic spoke to Baron Kendall: "Lord Baron, our magic here is about to end. The divine power has been completely consumed."

"How much longer?"

"Half a minute, if you have an order, please inform me as soon as possible. After the magic is over, the injuries sustained by the soldiers will be healed, but the broken ears will be difficult to repair with this level of treatment. They will soon Losing hearing.”

After hearing what the old priest of Saturn said, Baron Kendall immediately activated the magic prop to amplify the sound, making his voice resound around him: "Everyone, the healing spell is about to end, and you will not be able to hear the sound again. But please don't be nervous. , just fight as you are now, maintain morale, high morale, victory will definitely belong to us, and it will eventually belong to us. Because we are united!"

"Unite as one!"

The baron's attendants and the baron's bodyguard shouted in unison.

"Unite as one!"

Infected by the battle, the soldiers with high emotions shouted.

"Unite as one!"

Everyone shouted. They raised their weapons and stared at the golden Kiel flying by, looking forward to their battle.

-

"Unite as one!"

Kil was riding on the back of the mimic warrior and shouted loudly, but Knight Crow just gave a perfunctory hum, causing Kil to turn his head and look, and then found that Knight Crow was standing on the waist of the mimic warrior, flying past. When the dirt square pillar reached the lowest one, he jumped directly.

Jumped onto the square pillar of earth.

"ah?"

Kil was surprised that it could still be like this.

He didn't expect that a knight of Knight Crow's level could do such an unnatural and counter-intuitive move.

It was as if the impact was nothing.

Sure enough, after Knight Crow jumped from the waist of the mimic warrior, he saw the right moment and landed on the lowest square pillar of earth. Wearing armor, his natural impact force is very huge. The moment he comes into contact with the square pillar of earth, he should be like a giant metal ball that destroys cities and houses, directly breaking and scattering this square pillar that is simply made of earth. That's right.

But Knight Crow seemed to have eaten up this huge impact and landed firmly on the top of the thing.

Only the militiamen around the square pillar felt as if the ground beneath their feet was shaking slightly at that moment.

But it was Knight Crow who forcibly guided this force into the earth.

The impact force that would destroy the square pillar of earth would not move a hair on the ground beneath everyone's feet.

"call."

Knight Crow finally came into contact with the earth again. Even though he was separated by a square pillar of earth, the far and constant power from the ground still made him feel that all the strength in his body was recovering.

Boom!

He thrust the spear in his hand toward his side, then opened his hands and bent down, placing his palms against the earth platform under his feet.

Boom, boom, there was a vibration, and the seemingly identical square pillar of earth seemed to be missing something for a moment, but it was Knight Crow who absorbed all the life energy left here before.

His face turned rosy under the visor, and it was obvious that it was not easy to quickly release and absorb one's own life energy in a short period of time.

Then he shouted: "Kiel!"

Hearing the call, Kil pulled the wing root of the mimic warrior, causing the huge mimic warrior to turn and fly towards Knight Crow.

When Knight Crow flew over his head, Knight Crow jumped up directly. Instead of riding on the Mimic Warrior, he grabbed the Mimic Warrior's legs and let the other party fly with him, landing directly on the next dirt floor. above the pillar.

After landing, Knight Crow whistled and gave a brief order: "Get down."

But he didn't say it to Kiel, but asked his horse to jump off the high platform.

After absorbing the life energy left in the square pillar of earth, Knight Crow himself was not sure whether this thing was still strong or not.

After quickly absorbing the life energy of the second earth square pillar, he landed on the third earth square pillar with the help of the Mimic Warrior.

Soon, he came to the fourth, tallest square pillar of earth.

This thing is more than forty meters high, which is higher than the height of an ordinary castle tower. If it is used as a sharp blade pointing toward the sky, it is quite suitable.

Knight Crow thought this way. This time, he would no longer absorb this life energy, but would sense them, control them, let them change according to his own wishes, and drive the soil to move.

Put the hardest part of the soil at the top, and at the same time let the platform at the top of the square pillar of soil change into a spear tip like a spear. The angle at the top is extremely sharp, not sharp, but it guarantees that anything that hits it from above will end badly.

After the rapid transformation, Knight Crow said hello, and the mimic warrior who had been flying nearby turned and passed by. Knight Crow directly grabbed the body that was spliced ​​together with coins, turned over and rode on his waist.

"Kill him!"

"OK!"

Kil responded, and then the entire mimicry warriors raised their heads and flew upwards, rushing into the group of monsters.

-

Just when Kil and others were preparing their fatal move, the monsters didn't just watch, they started to quarrel.

Several harpies that were not blinded screamed loudly to persuade their companions to leave the place temporarily. After gathering more harpies, they would catch up and eliminate all these humans.

But the injured harpy leader angrily drove away the young guys who let him escape.

Although it cannot see it with its eyes, it can clearly hear the sound of every harpy flapping its wings around it, so it clearly knows the location of each harpy.

The young monsters who persuaded it to leave were slapped on the head by it flapping its wings. It did not stop its wings until these few aggrieved voices begged for mercy.

The tribe has already suffered a lot just now. If it retreats, then won't it have to bear all the responsibilities on its own?

How can it be!

It is the big boss, it wants the best meat, and it also wants the most female mates. Every time the mates hatch monster eggs, it doesn't need it to hatch at all.

You can go out looking for prey every day.

Instead of being like ordinary male harpies in other groups, they have to take turns incubating eggs and hunting with their mates during the egg incubation period.

Therefore, it is the big boss. The benefits and power are to be enjoyed, but the responsibilities cannot be borne.

Who told it to live the longest, be the largest, and fly the highest and fastest?

There is no room for a young harpy to command it.

Don't look at your eyes. If you can't see now, I can still beat you to beg for mercy.

Just when the monsters were arguing and arguing, Keir and the others were ready and went straight into the sky. This time the target was the leader of the monster.

"The focus is on the wings! Destroy its wings and make it fall."

Knight Crow ordered, and Kil immediately responded.

Taking out the Overwater Head Two-Handed Ax, Kil held it tightly in his hand, ready to find the right opportunity to throw it out.

"Yah!"

Sensing that Kiel and the others were flying over again, the monsters immediately flapped their wings and accelerated to fight.

"These guys are really slow. It seems they have never fought against flying monsters. Kil, pull up a little and fly over their heads!"

Knight Crow shouted loudly, and then after Kil signaled the process of the mimic warrior, he pressed down the spear, and with Kil controlling the mimic warrior left and right to dodge, the spear struck out left and right, either scraping or bringing the eagle bodies that were passing by. Injured by humans and monsters.

These monsters are still too hard-hitting. If they were humans, they would be seriously injured if they passed by each other at high speeds and even a slight bump would occur.

Ordinary leather armor can no longer protect the rider in such a collision, and thick iron armor must be worn.

Even so, facing an attack from a magical weapon is still very dangerous.

Compared with the Mimic Warriors, who were not afraid of getting hurt at all, and the Kilclaw Knights, both of whom wore metal armor, the Harpies were too shabby in terms of defense.

Basically, he relies on his physical body's natural abilities to fight against all kinds of human weapons.

If they hadn't been able to fly, be strong, and know how to throw heavy objects to deal with the human troops fighting on the ground, it would be difficult for them to actually control this grassland.

After several staggered battles, Keir and the others passed through the interception of the monster group and faced the leader of the monster.

That guy already knew who was coming, so he was quite irritable and launched the attack first.

This guy has slightly more combat experience than ordinary harpies, and he knows how to gain altitude in a battle with flying creatures.

The two kept circling and flying upward, fighting to occupy the position above the opponent's head and neck.

Because the harpy monster's main attack method is to use its hard claws, and the claws are on the lower part of the body. If you want to attack the opponent, you have to be a little taller than the opponent.

"Don't fight it head-on, run around it!"

Knight Crow shouted loudly, and Kil forcefully pulled the wing root of the mimic warrior, tilting it to one side, spinning and climbing up, staggering with the monster leader to seize a high position.

"Use the maneuverability of divine flight! Stop, ascend, then attack downward!"

Knight Crow commanded, and Priest Rosari, who actually controlled the Mimic Warrior, had no real experience in flying close combat. Therefore, at this time, he completely listened to Knight Crow's command and relied on Keir to determine which direction to turn.

They suddenly paused in the air. Although the monster leader immediately seized the high position and pounced on them, the entire mimic warrior immediately jumped straight up from the ground.

"Now! Kill!"

Knight Crow didn't need to say anything. Priest Rosari folded his wings, lowered the wind resistance, and hit the monster leader head-on.

Even though he knew that the impact would bring more losses to the mimic warrior, not only losing the coins that make up the body, but also consuming the power of the God of Wealth stored in the special coins.

But opportunities are rare, and there aren't many chances to hit your opponent hard, especially now.

The mimic warrior hit his head under the control of Priest Rosari.

Kil roared wildly and threw his two-handed ax with all his strength, directly grabbing the huge wings of the monster leader.

Knight Crow raised his spear high, and gathered magic power at the tip of the spear. The magic sword that was about to be launched was aimed at the other wing of the monster leader.

The three of them used their methods to destroy the monster leader's flying ability.
