Mercenaries and Adventurers

Buzz - Whoosh, Knight Crow's magic sword attacked first, and instantly hit the middle of the monster leader's left wing, cutting off and burning a large piece of feathers that were as hard as ordinary leather.

Kil's two-handed ax came next, attacking the right wing of the monster leader, whizzing and spinning away, as if he wanted to chop the main body of the monster's wings, but Kil yelled: "Feather! Hit the feather!"

As if after hearing Kiel's order, the ax finally changed its target and rolled wildly to chop and break large pieces of the monster leader's feathers. It did not just hit it once, but accompanied the monster leader's flight, like gangrene attached to the bone. Hot pursuit.

Then the mimic warrior collided head-on with the monster leader.

Kil was immediately thrown away by the force of the impact, but then Knight Crow stretched out his hand to grab his legs, and with a strong force, he sat back down to his original position.

Knight Crow's legs were clamped together. Although the armor was heavier and the impact was greater, he was sitting firmly on the waist of the mimic warrior.

After the mimic warrior collided with the monster leader, the two immediately whirled past each other. The mimic warrior's head and the arm composed of two coins exploded, and scattered coins were flying all over the sky. But what followed was a magical high-speed Fly back to the body of the mimic warrior.

These coins jingled and flew back quickly, gathered on the body, and rebuilt the head and hands that it had lost due to the impact.

However, some valuable coins fell from the air due to damage, but they could no longer be used. As a result, the reconstructed Mimic Warrior's head and arms were a full circle smaller than before.

On the other side, half of the monster leader's wing feathers were destroyed, and its flying ability was greatly affected. It flapped its wings, but the flying force generated this time could not allow it to fly at high speed, and it could only maintain the current altitude and speed in front of it.

"Gah?"

After being hit, it was a little dizzy and didn't realize what was wrong. It just flapped its wings hard.

"Turn around! Fight back. This time we stick directly to it and use weight and attack to bring it down from the sky!"

After Knight Crow took a look at the situation of the monster leader, he ordered directly.

So Kil moved the wing roots of the mimic warrior to control the direction of the mimic warrior.

The group of monsters that he had fought through before were surrounded again. Under the command of Knight Crow, Kil swung left and right, getting rid of the harassment of a large group of harpies. In terms of flying at close range, his flexibility was provided by divine power. The ability of the mimic warrior is still very advantageous, otherwise Priest Rosari would not choose divine magic to fight.

It is possible for him to use the divine power in special coins to control other coins and use them as anti-aircraft shotguns, but this is just a temporary solution, not the root cause. It has the same effect as Baron Kendall's magic attack on monsters in the sky, and even the effect of divine magic is not the same. It's even worse, because magic props are made to suit one person's use, but battlefield magic is not for a priest to use.

Kiel and the others quickly approached the monster leader who was barely able to fly. This time, because the opponent's flying ability was limited, he did not show the same arrogance as before.

It could even be said that it was panicking. Facing the fast-flying Kil and others, it could only panic and summon its harpies to come over for protection, but it was too late.

The two chased each other and fled, seemingly trying to get away from the Kendal army on the ground.

"No, drive it back and go around to the front!"

Knight Crow instructed, and Kil immediately moved the mimic warrior slightly to the side, forcing the opponent to turn.

Seeing Kil and others approaching from one side, the monster leader had to turn to avoid, but he played into the hands of humans. After seeing the monster leader turn and fly back, Knight Crowe's eyes flashed coldly: "Stick to it, now."

It had to be now, the group of monsters flew over again. If they were interfered by other harpies, it would not be easy to deal with the monster leader.

This thing is huge, and its body is strong and tough. If Knight Crow dares to say that he can take down this monster with his war horse on the ground, but in the sky, his means are limited, so he must use strategies to take down.

"Priest, slow down! Get up there and suppress it and push it down!"

Kil shouted and told Priest Rosari who was controlling the Mimic Warrior, and then the distance between the two, chasing and escaping, got closer and closer until they collided with each other with a bang.

The limbs of the mimic warrior immediately changed, like hooks, up left, up right, down left, down right, sticking closely to the monster leader in four directions. The Mimic Warrior, who was slightly smaller than the monster, outweighed the opponent in terms of weight. The monster leader with injured wings no longer had the ability to fly to keep up with the opponent. He was restrained at this moment and was immediately carried downwards quickly.

Kil stretched out his hand and retracted his axe. Seeing everyone rushing towards the ground diagonally, he even stopped breathing at this moment.

But Knight Crow behind him was very calm, bullying the harpy monster into not being able to understand human language, and directly ordered the next action.

"Don't stare at Kil and destroy his wings!"

The sound of the earth and wind coming from the pavement made Knight Crow's words somewhat lost, but Kil still heard them clearly.

At such a close distance, Knight Crow directly thrust his spear. The seven-meter-long spear directly pierced the sword at the 'gun head' into the middle of the monster leader's wing bone. The arm stretched out and then retracted, retracted and then stretched out, repeatedly using the sharp magic edge of the sword to penetrate the monster's bones, joints and muscle fascia.

Seeing what Knight Crow did, Kil also pointed at the other wing of the monster leader and threw the water-crossing head and two-handed ax heavily.

There was a pop, and blood and flesh splashed, but this guy was indeed difficult to deal with. The two-handed ax that was always invincible could only cut half the depth of the ax face at this moment. This pair of huge wings was eight or nine meters long. Said it was a drop in the bucket.

"Turn around! Spin around!"

Kil shouted loudly, but after the ax spun, it could not keep up with the speed of their fall at the moment, and fell directly into the air behind them.

"grown ups!"

Kil turned directly to Knight Crow and asked him to make an idea.

Knight Crow glanced at it: "No problem, leave it to me. You can evacuate with the Mimic Warrior later. Leave the final kill to me!"

Seeing how decisive Knight Crow was, even though Kil didn't know what risk he was taking, he had no choice but to agree. Because they were controlled by the mimic warriors at this moment, they, or together with the monster leader, were drawing arcs in the air and crashing into the huge earth spears standing on the ground.

-

Everyone on the ground raised their heads at this moment and opened their mouths to look at the scene in the sky.

That might be a scene that only appears in the legends told by bards.

The huge winged warrior shining with the light of precious metal captured the even larger monster leader, and together with the two brave warriors above, slammed into the deadly huge spear standing on the ground.

At the last moment before the impact, the winged warriors on their side finally withdrew, taking Kil with them past the deadly mud spears, and slowed down to regain altitude.

But Knight Crow, whom they admired, jumped directly onto the monster and pierced the monster's other wing with his spear. Accompanied by the monster's frightened cry, the brave knight's roar resounded throughout the world.

"Die!!!"

puff--

A giant earth tower tens of meters high with a tip like a spear, passed directly through the middle of the equally huge monster body.

At that moment, blood rained down, and the soldiers in a large area nearby even felt that there was a smelly blood rain falling from the sky. The blood that spurted out from the huge monster's body dyed many people's bodies red.

The monster's body was too tough and stuck firmly after the huge spear tip passed through a few meters. But even so, the monster's body was still completely destroyed by the huge spear tip.

Its entire chest disappeared, and its fragmented body organs either turned into blood and mud in the violent friction with the spear tip, or fell down from the torn body wounds.

The huge pair of claws trembled as if they were still alive, contracting and grabbing, even if they only caught the air.

A pair of huge wings that had been completely destroyed were pulled down weakly, blocking a large section of the huge spear of soil pointing upwards, preventing people from seeing the flesh and blood slowly flowing down the covered area.

On the monster's head, a pair of huge eyes gradually lost their expression in shock. At the moment it was about to die, the power that blinded it finally dissipated, allowing it to see countless human soldiers on the ground who were also looking at it.

The mouth opened, but the mouth full of sharp teeth could not make a sound, because the huge soil spear that penetrated the chest had consumed its pair of lungs into a bloody pulp.

Finally, the head drooped, and the long tongue slipped out of the sharp teeth and drooped.

-

But Knight Crow, at the last moment, grabbed the monster's wings to avoid the front of the huge clay spear he made, and rubbed the huge clay pillar with the tail of the spear made of the same clay, and used his other hand to Also press hard against the surface of this thing to slow it down.

Zhizhizhi——

The steel-protected palm made a sharp and sour friction sound with the giant earth pillar, and due to the violent friction and collision, a large number of sparks and high heat erupted.

Knight Crow gritted his teeth, gathering more life energy in his hands to provide protection, and even controlled the soil to fit into his palms to increase protection and insulation.

But his weight was too heavy, causing the force when he fell to be too strong, which was far beyond what the resistance created by the spear and palm could reduce.

So the moment he fell to the ground, Knight Crow tried his best to land his legs on the ground first, boom!

When there was a huge impact on the ground, the whole person bent down and contracted his abdomen, and rolled forward. Try to convert your downward impact into lateral movement.

Grass stems and soil on the ground flew out like explosions, hitting the surrounding soldiers so hard that their whole bodies hurt.

And among the splashing soil and grass blades, Knight Crow was like a shadow of steel, rolling and crashing forward as hard as he could.

boom! With another heavy impact, he crashed directly into a carriage carriage approaching here.

The carriage carrying supplies was broken into two halves from the middle, and not the upper part of the carriage, but the strong load-bearing structure at the bottom of the carriage was all smashed into pieces.

Fortunately, this thing could absorb the impact, so Knight Crow stopped.

In the mess, the knight beat his body and untied the slightly deformed thick steel armor on his shoulders.

"Huh, I'm glad I didn't forget the emergency landing method taught by the Knights."

He wiped off the dirt on the helmet's visor and lifted the stuck visor, revealing a relieved face.

"I didn't expect that a skill I never planned to use would be used one day. Bah."

After spitting out some grass blades that ran into his mouth, Knight Crow raised his head and looked at the monster leader strung on a huge mud spear forty meters high. A particularly satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"What a good prey, haha."

While laughing, the knight followed the shallow mud ditch that he had just rolled to the bottom of the huge spear, picked up the spear that was left here, and then placed his other hand on the huge dirt spear.

The ground trembled slightly, and the huge spear rising from the earth gradually returned to the earth under the control of Knight Crow.

At the same time, this is also a part of Knight Crow's recovery of his own life energy.

-

Baron Kendall waved his hand vigorously: "Great! What a heroic feat! Kill the leader, and the remaining monsters will have no one to command. It's a good time to kill them all at once."

"Claude, can we fight again?"

The baron asked loudly, and Knight Crowe's answer was loud and clear: "Why not? Kil!"

Kil controlled the hovering mimic warrior to fly slowly past the carriage and the soldiers' spears close to the ground. Knight Crow jumped directly on the spot, grabbed the mimic warrior's legs and climbed up.

Then they accelerated their climb and killed the harpy monsters in the sky.

Several harpies were not blinded by divine magic, so they fully saw how their leaders were defeated by humans. When they told their companions what they saw, they received no friendly responses from their companions.

Instead, it was the blinded harpy monster groups that chased them.

Excited screams of Xiaxia came one after another. Judging from the excitement of the chirping harpies, it was obvious that what they said was not pleasant. It was probably a curse that humans could not understand.

Seeing the chaotic monster, both Kil and Knight Crow breathed a sigh of relief this time. Kil was about to call back his two-handed ax to fight, but he couldn't see that guy appearing in the sky around him.

"Where did he go?"

Kil kept searching, but he didn't know that at the chest wound of the huge harpy monster that had fallen to the ground, a blue ax was chewing and pulling at the monster's soul.

The spider-shaped monster and its friends were pulling the dead and somewhat dazed giant harpy leader's soul into the axe.

Even if the other party doesn't resist, this is not an easy task. The Spider-type Warcraft, as a Warcraft, has to do it himself.

In the sky, Knight Crow mocked Kil: "How? Do you know what kind of weapons to choose to fight?"

Kil didn't reply. He felt that the spiritual weapon was okay. Its power made up for his lack of fighting skills. It was an indispensable part of him at this stage.

Knight Crow snorted twice and said no more.

Kiel concentrated on controlling the mimic warriors to create better fighting opportunities for Knight Crow.

Facing the harpy monsters fighting between the two sides, Knight Crow asked Kil to bring the mimic warriors as close as possible to blind them, but the side with the larger number would try to consume the monsters first.

At the same time, they had to fly above all the monsters, constantly suppressing them, and forcibly lowering the flying height of the monster group.

After constant fighting, the monster group was successfully reduced to a lower flying height. Whichever one dared to fly higher would be attacked by the Crow Knight hovering in the air.

The low flight altitude also allowed Knight Rumi and Baron Kendall in the ground army to perform better.

Baron Kendall will use extremely fast flying magic to attack the harpy monster that has the best physical strength and has not been injured at this time. At this time, Knight Rumi will directly add several throwing spears in succession after the magic attack, and will The seriously injured harpy was completely defeated.

At the same time, Rumi Knight will also use the throwing spear to supplement the injured Harpy monster amidst the continuous self-fired crossbow arrows on the ground.

Kill the monsters one by one.

The sun gradually tilted from the afternoon, and when it was halfway down, the strong wind on the grassland finally stopped.

Knight Rumi no longer had a throwing spear at hand, and he wounded the last few monsters that were in trouble with militia spears. The injured monster was then killed by the baron using magic missiles with the longest shooting distance.

The harpy that fled towards the sky was easily killed by Knight Crow chasing behind him from a distance with the magic sword he shot.

Priest Rosari, who was kneeling on the carriage and concentrating on controlling the Mimic Warrior, was already sweating profusely due to the pressure of concentration and divine magic. At the end of the battle, he was swaying. He endured all kinds of discomfort in his body and pushed the Mimic Warrior away. He flew back to the carriage beside the baron.

Bang, there was a clanging sound, and when Kil and Knight Crow jumped off the Mimic Warrior, he could no longer control it. On the spot, the Mimic Warrior broke into pieces and collapsed into a large pile of valuable coins on the ground.

And he himself fell on the roof of the carriage with weak breathing.

"Check on Padre Rosari quickly!"

The baron immediately ordered, and an attendant immediately came over, untied the chest of Priest Rosari's robe, wiped the sweat from the priest's body with a dry cloth, and opened the other's chest to facilitate the other's breathing.

The priest of the god of agriculture came over to take a look and said that he just fainted due to overexertion and that he could just help him down and have a good rest. Priests who believe in other gods cannot use their divine power to heal other church priests.

As long as the two parties' divine powers come into contact, bad things will happen, so although they usually rest in a carriage, let alone playing chess together, they have never even shaken each other's hands.

Even when treating other people, they are separated from each other.

The baron breathed a sigh of relief. Today's battle was difficult. If these priests hadn't put in a lot of effort, it would be hard to say how much accumulated magic gems he would have to spend to defeat this large group of harpies.

Moreover, the army will definitely suffer massive losses by then. It is estimated that when it reaches the southern provinces, landless farmers will have to be recruited to join them, and it will take a long time to reorganize them to ensure combat effectiveness.

When the time comes, he will inevitably be laughed at by the local nobles.

"Check the situation of each team and send my personal guards. Most of them can still hear. The injured people will be sent over immediately to wait for treatment."

"In addition, bring the captain and deputy captain of each team over. When the priests recover their power, give priority to treating them to ensure the normal control and organization of each team."

"Priests, please prepare immediately and start treatment later. First, treat the captain and deputy captain of the militia team, and then treat other soldiers during the march."

"At the same time, Knight Rumi, take the guards who still have physical strength and fighting ability, and help me catch the local caravans who are hiding far away. Damn it, they have attracted so many monsters, but they are huddled in the distance and watching us. Fighting is not such a good thing. Supplies, medical equipment, etc. have to be borne by them."

"Claude, I know you have consumed too much, but immediately organize manpower to inspect the battlefield. This time you and I will suffer big losses. We must find a way to sell those monster corpses at a good price. Take this ice ring. , find the monster in the empty carriage and freeze it inside."

"Kiel, don't be stunned. I have assigned you a task. Bring some of my attendants and scribes to recover all the coin fragments scattered on the battlefield. Don't forget, I saw many soldiers picking up the coins. There are a lot of them, and they have to be checked. But first collect the ones scattered on the ground and on the soldiers. After Knight Crowe and Knight Rumi have finished their work and the militia team has been reorganized, they can then check it. It must be before dark. Finish."

"Yes, sir!" Kil responded loudly.
