MTL - Mercenaries and Adventurers-v4 Chapter 186 , the darkest moonless night (9)
Keel took a deep breath of the **** forest air and let it out in satisfaction.
"The robbers deserved their end."
He stabbed the double-bladed metal spear to the ground, and then groped for the body of the bandit leader.
The first is the metal cane that the opponent was still holding tightly in his hand when he died.
Kiel broke off his fingers, and carefully sized up the mysterious weapon that almost killed him twice with his fingers.
It is a short metal staff with a length of 30 centimeters. It is different from the magic gemstone staff used by Baron Kendall that Keel has seen before. This metal staff is made of silver-white metal with a tapered bottom. It seems that it can be used for self-defense, but the top is a metal round head, the kind that can be held in the hand.
On the ball at the top is the face of a howling man, with a strange and sad expression, and his movements are like those of the women in the famous paintings Kiel has seen in his life, with his hands on his cheeks and his mouth wide open, wailing silently.
Keir had a keen sense, and he carefully put the tip of the metal cane close to his ear, and then showed an unsurprised expression.
He heard a faint male wail coming from the ball at the top of the cane.
It was as if the carving on the cane really made the painful cry.
Swallowing, Kiel secretly cheered himself up, muttering in a low voice that there is a ghost in another world, it's a very normal phenomenon, don't panic.
Keir didn't know how to use the cane, so he put it away carefully.
Then he pulled three rings from the finger of the bandit leader, a middle-aged man named Nobi Fisbiru.
As soon as he looked at the two gems, he recognized them from the magic gemstones on the ring. These might be the two magic props owned by the other party.
Thinking of this, he got up and hurriedly looked behind the trunk of a big tree opposite the open space. Sure enough, he found a belt decorative pendant with a buckle here.
This thing is also a magic prop, but the difference is that its function is simply luminous lighting.
Keel looked at it for a while, then pinned the glowing pendant to his metal belt. Then he turned over to examine the enemy's body.
He found a small magic bell on the other side's belt pouch embroidered with gold and silver threads, and from another small leather pouch with a burning smell, he found a scorching hot metal medallion.
This metal round plate is made of gold, and the surface is covered with other metals. The outermost surface is made of magic gemstones to form a small wind scroll. There are many words under the round plate, but Kiel does not recognize any of them.
He probably guessed that it was a high-level aristocratic language, a language that only nobles can learn to show their status and keep secrets from commoners.
All from the Empire.
At this moment, the magic gemstone on the surface of the round card is radiating some heat, causing the entire metal round card to be very hot. If it weren't for the steel gloves on Keel's hands, this thing would be impossible to hold at the moment.
Not only that, but small sparks of magic power connecting each other emerge from time to time between some magic gems. This thing has high energy, and Kiel dare not touch it.
Carefully digging a hole in the middle of the clearing, Keel threw the metal medallion into it, then buried it with soil.
The thing seemed to have been forcibly broken, causing some damage, and Kiel buried it first, allowing it to release the remaining magic power inside. He will come back to have a look at dawn tomorrow.
Kiel continued to examine the body of Nobby Fisbyru, and in another waist pocket, he found a small shield emblem with the family crest as a keepsake.
In addition, one of the rings found before was a ring with noble patterns.
These things have no effect on Kiel, but they can be put away as souvenirs or rewards.
In the end, Kiel also found a small bag of gold coins, a bunch of keys, and an exquisite hollow ball.
The first two are nothing, just money and the key to the lock of the other party's lair or box. It was just the last thing that Keel found interesting.
This exquisitely crafted hollow ball is made of countless hexagonal metal meshes, and inside it is a large golden moth that is sluggish.
At this moment, the fluttering moth folded its wings and curled up inside the metal hollow ball. When Keel looked at it, it also looked at Kiel's face weakly.
The tentacles on the top of the head moved, and then looked weak and did not move.
Keel didn't think that this important thing in the opponent's left chest pocket would be something insignificant.
He had some guesses about the usefulness of this thing, but he couldn't prove anything at this time, so he didn't care about it, put it away, and talk about it later.
-
Keir called his horse, threw Nobi Fisbiru's body on the horse's back, and then led the horse in the direction it came from.
On the way, he also found the prairie horse that the enemy was riding. Although Kiel shot an arrow, the horse's vitality far surpassed that of a human being. An arrow in the buttocks did not affect the movement and life of the prairie horse. .
The place where the arrow was shot had stopped bleeding for a long time. Although as the horse moved, it could be seen that being shot by an arrow slightly affected its movement, but the effect was not great.
The prairie horse saw the body of its owner on the back of the blood licking grass, so it took the initiative to come over. It pushed its head against Nobi Fisbyru's leg, and when it found that its master hadn't moved at all, it stopped silently.
Keel grabbed the prairie horse by the reins and led it on bloodlick, but it didn't resist.
-
When Kiel quickly returned to where he could see the clearing, he found the refugees confronting the blinded bandits.
The bandits were blinded, but although they couldn't intervene in the battle between Kiel and Nobi-Fisbiru before, they were not stupid. They had already shouted at each other and gathered together when they couldn't see anything. Together.
The young refugees who fought with Kiel, although they could see things, had nothing to do with the bandits who gathered together.
Even more passive.
Because the bandits had short bows in their hands, after they repeatedly confirmed that the people who were still alive were all gathered together, anything that could make a sound around them became their target of attack.
Riding on horseback, Kiel saw that around the bandits in a circle on the wasteland, there were some young refugees with weapons in their hands.
They may want to sneak up, or attack if they see that the bandits are blinded. But because the sound missed his whereabouts, he was shot to death on the ground by more than a dozen arrows.
Every brave young man is surrounded by arrows shot by the other party. The bandits, who probably can't see anything, will shoot the young man who fell to the ground continuously for safety, until the other party is completely dead. No more noise.
Kiel's breathing became heavy. He rode out of the woods and waved to his fellow refugees to let them notice that it was him who had a light-emitting device on his waist.
Then he shouted: "Stand back, watch me kill them all!"
Kiel jumped off his horse, first tied Nobi Fisbyru's horse to the trunk of a short tree beside him, then raised his double-edged metal spear, and strode towards the group of thirty or forty bandits.
Boom, boom, boom, Kiel started to run in a big stride, and then his movements became more powerful, and he jumped up gradually with each step, and he stepped out, which was a distance of two or three meters.
When he was approaching the group of bandits, he jumped up vigorously.
From mid-air fit and crash into groups of enemies.
The bandits were not deaf either. They first heard Kiel's shout, and then realized that their noble lord had lost in the battle between the noble leader and the young knight.
They panicked, but were immediately scolded by a middle-aged butler-looking man in the middle of the crowd: "Even so, we, as soldiers of the White Wall King, need to avenge our master! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot that knight! Even if I bite him with my teeth, I will bite him to death!"
As the man said this, some determined diehards in the team immediately shot bows and arrows at the sound of striding.
They were all bandit soldiers who were proficient in bows and arrows, and they could accurately judge Kiel's position and speed just by the thumping sound of Kiel's boots hitting the ground as he accelerated.
Immediately, bows and arrows were fired continuously.
Some people launched an attack, and other guys who wanted to slip away had no choice but to shoot arrows amidst the vibration of bowstrings around them.
-
Kiel held a double-edged metal spear in his right hand, and his left arm stood in front of his head and face, using the armor on his forearm to resist the incoming bow and arrow.
Although there were many people on the opponent, and the bows and arrows were shot intensively, after all, it was a 'blind shot' after being blinded by the sun god's divine power. I didn't know what to do, lacked strength and determination, and most of the arrows could only fall on the target. Behind Kiel who came, only some of the arrows hit him with luck.
But Kiel, who weighed at least 170 to 80 kilograms combined with his own equipment, ran with power that a few arrows could not stop.
In the last leap before approaching, Kiel held the double-edged metal spear with both hands in mid-air, and then smashed it heavily towards the crowd in front of him.
boom!
puff-puff-
Kiel, who jumped to the ground, crushed the bodies and heads of the two bandits under his feet, and the spear he dropped smashed the heads and shoulders of the people in front into pieces.
The splashed body tissue directly knocked down the bandits next to them, scaring them into screaming.
After landing on the ground, Kiel took a deep breath and used all the power in his body. The life energy replaced by the divine power of the **** of agriculture was perfectly substituted and consumed. Kiel waved the spear in his hand without halving his power, and swept across the heads of the bandits around him.
Some people subconsciously raised their arms to resist amid the splattered flesh and blood, but the result was nothing more than a smashed head mixed with a broken arm.
The sharp blades of the spears cut off every human flesh they touched, and when Kiel made a full turn, at least four or five people died under its sharp blades.
"ha!"
The people around him were all dead, so Kiel raised his hand and stabbed directly through a bandit's chest. He threw it out and ignored the enemy who was destined to die.
On the left, a bandit came to kill him with stumped limbs and flesh all over the ground, but Keir's spear was turned upside down, and the end of the gun pierced directly through the opponent's roaring mouth, and pierced through the back of his head.
The spear stretched forward and swung left and right, and the double blades on the tip of the gun cut the necks of a series of bandits left and right.
With a light brush, most of the necks of the bandits were cut open, and even the flesh and bones couldn't stop the energetic Kiel.
"Ha ha ha ha."
While 'fighting', Kiel laughed loudly and happily, and matched with the green fluorescent light emitted from the upper armor. Even the young refugees on the other side of the creek were terrified and hugged together.
Some people think of how they looked during the day, and think that it is crazy that many young people in the same village or other villages dare to contradict or ignore such a knight.
-
"Ahhhh!"
Kiel killed happily, and immediately killed several people who were not wearing animal skins and carrying short bows and quiveres from the center of the bandits' chaotic crowd.
These people were dressed in exquisite clothes, carrying steel long swords or thin swords and short knives, and killed him with a reckless move.
Kiel stepped on the corpse and rushed two steps forward, then turned the spear, and the tip of the spear slashed across the legs of the fastest man, who fell to the ground with his legs broken, but after falling, he didn't care With the severed legs, he grabbed the corpse in front of him with his hands, and used his strength to crawl towards the laughing young knight in front.
But after approaching, before he swung his sword to make a slash, Keir raised his leg and stomped down, crushing the man's head on the ground.
The metal spear flipped over, just like a snowman made by smashing loose snow, killing the few brave men in front of him.
He took a deep breath of the air that smelled of various human body fluids, looked around, and found that dozens of bandits had been defeated by him, directly killing more than 20 people, and the remaining ten or so people were scrambling towards each other. Scattered and fled around.
"shh-"
As soon as the whistle was blown, the blood licking grass came galloping in response.
It disliked the dead bodies everywhere, so it only wandered outside the pile of dead bodies. Kiel had to come out, get on his horse, and chase down the bandits running around.
He first shouted to the young refugees on the other side of the creek: "Don't worry about this place, first go to support Batar priest, these people will be handed over to me, you go to the other side of the clearing to support. Go!"
As soon as Kiel yelled, those young people turned around and ran away tremblingly, as if Kiel was far more terrifying than the dozens of bandits before.
The blood and flesh stained on the boots were knocked off by the running horses. Keel put away his spear, turned around to get his hunting bow, and aimed at the bandits running towards the woods to the southeast of the clearing.
"breathe."
Kiel forcefully held his breath, then aimed and fired the arrow, whoosh—
A bandit who was scrambling and fleeing towards the woods fell in response, and was shot in the back by an arrow.
The man still wanted to get up, but he vomited blood from his mouth, and his body strength was rapidly losing, especially the severe pain. The bandit got up three or four times, but all failed. I could only sit on the grass with my hands propped up, listening to the sound of several arrows passing by, and the sound of my companion falling down in pain.
In the end, with the sound of rushing horseshoes and the roar of heavy objects breaking through the air, the bandit finally lost consciousness.
-
With a flick of the spear with his right hand, Kiel shook off the **** limbs stained with the tip of the gun, and then chased after the bandits in other directions.
The bandits fled in all directions, so Keel first chased the bandits who fled to the southeast woods, and then chased south. Go up and poke down with a long gun to kill them one by one.
He then turned southwest of the clearing, the direction he had come out of the woods.
Perhaps it was the neighing sound of the prairie horse that was hit by the arrow that attracted the attention of the bandits who fled here after being blinded. They all focused on the horse that the original leader was riding.
The guy who ran over first was grabbed by his belt by his companion who ran up before he got on his horse.
"Let's go together, pull me up!"
Facing the threat from his companion, the bandit who got on his horse first kicked his left leg fiercely, and kicked towards his companion's head: "Let go! Let go! That demon is coming, please let go!"
But while the two were arguing, another person rushed over, directly with the previous person, grabbed the animal skin pants of the person on the horseback, and forcibly tore them off: "We must run together, or no one will try to run! Anyway! I am the only one in my family, my father died in a fight with the soldiers at the checkpoint, my mother died of illness, I am going to drag a person into the water today! Die with me."
"You are sick, don't drag me. There are trees here, and you can definitely survive if you run into the woods!"
But the rebuttal immediately sounded: "Then why are you still riding a horse? I will ride a horse, and you go into the woods!"
While three or four were vying for control of the horse, Keel rode up.
He subdued these people, and the horse's reins were still firmly tied to the trunk of the bush. It was impossible for those who rode on to run away on horseback.
He rushed over on horseback, and the idiots tried to escape into the woods, but they were shot at close range by Kiel one by one, and then he used his spear to make sure that the enemy was completely killed.
In the end, Keir rode towards the creek and had a good 'communication' with these bandits who had gone the wrong way.
-
Keel spared the life of one of the bandits by the creek, and the others jumped off their horses and swung their swords to kill them.
After tying up the last single seedling of the bandits, Keel took a breath, feeling the physical strength and energy in his body, got on the horse again, crossed the shallow stream, and ran towards the open space.
Before leaving, he turned around and looked at the corpses of bandits scattered across the wasteland behind him~www.novelbuddy.com~ His eyes finally settled on the magic lion who was also looking at him.
After the magic creation was unmanned, it didn't even move a step, but it couldn't walk, but the huge lion head kept looking at Kiel.
Keir didn't know which of the magic items seized from Nobby Fisbyru was the related item used to control this guy, so he had to put it aside first, leave it alone, and wait for the other party to use it until the end of time, naturally Revert to the appearance of the original toy lion.
-
The battle on Kiel's side ended with the final unilateral suppression of the battle, but on Priest Batar's side, it didn't go so smoothly.
Let's move forward in time, when the first group of refugees led by Huang Snake rushed to the open space, the north side of the open space, near the side of the trade road.
The Batar priest who rushed here commanded his young men to throw the firewood in the fire forward.
But in the light of the fire on the firewood, the fierce and strong bandits were discovered one by one.
These people stopped pretending and stood up from the shrubs and flowers that they hid and approached before. They all raised their sharp and reflective swords with grinning grinning, and approached slowly.
Although there were only a dozen or so bandits, they severely overwhelmed the aura of hundreds of young refugees who dared to fight.
"Ha!" A bandit raised his hands, each holding a weapon, and shouted threateningly.
"Phew!" A bandit slashed the neck with a sharp short knife, and the legs of the young refugees trembled in fright.
"Hmph, these people are no different from cattle plowing the fields." The burly middle-aged bandit leader rubbed his nose and let out a sigh of disdain.
He whispered to the bandits who were slowly approaching the refugees, "According to the plan."
