Mercenaries and Adventurers - Vol 4 Chapter 208

Keir asked two young men to drag the bandit who had been pierced through the soles of his feet directly on the ground.

Afterwards, everyone gathered together as much as possible, and they no longer walked fast when they came here before. Little by little, step by step, they moved out of this trap area that cannot be seen everywhere.

To be honest, during this process, Keir wanted to give the bandits who were being dragged on the ground a few hard hits, because they didn’t pay attention when they came, and it turned out that when they entered the trap, they took an S-shaped arc , Going back and forth between several big trees, there is only one correct way to get in and out.

Beside this only safe road, there are pits and traps densely arranged.

It is easy to come in and be led away, but it is not so easy to go out.

Especially knowing that there are traps all around, the fear and fear made everyone slow down, even if the road was safe.

Especially in the middle of the night at this time, in the pitch-black woods, only the luminous magic pendant on Keir’s body was providing illumination, so when they went back, they had to be more careful.

The wounded robbers tried their best to identify the traces on the ground and the marks on the tree trunks and several roots on the ground when they came, so that they could get out just as they came.

Finally, after a while, the bandits on the ground looked around carefully to confirm that they had really walked out of the trap area.

He showed a relieved expression, and then licked his face to claim credit for the young knight: “My lord, look, we got out like this! As I said, nothing happened!”

But Kiel snorted coldly, and although he didn’t speak, the meaning of disdain was clearly conveyed.

The young man under Kiel was not used to this man’s nonsense, so he immediately threw his hand away, covered the man’s mouth with his hand, and slapped him **** the head a few times.

After giving this guy a simple lesson, Kiel kicked the moaning bandit on the ground: “Point out the correct direction to the lair, and if you dare to lead the wrong way, I’ll wring your head off.”

The bandit rubbed his face, changed his pretended pain, looked carefully at the familiar faces around him, and pointed out, “Go this way, we’ll be there soon.”

Kiel directly held it in his hand, and the male bandit weighing tens of kilograms didn’t look heavier than a hare being held in his hand.

“I’m ahead, there are traps and dangers, and I’ll throw you out first. Do you understand?” Kiel did not forget to explain to the bandit leading the way the consequences of making another ‘mistake’, and the bandit caught in his hands continued to Nod to show understanding.

“Follow.”

Kiel greeted, and several young people followed closely behind Kiel’s footsteps. With what happened before, they didn’t even step on the ground that Kiel hadn’t stepped on, and carefully used the soles of their feet to walk over the pits that Kiel’s boots had stepped on.

–

They took two turns in the dark woods where they couldn’t see the direction and signs at all, and finally the ground quickly became steeper from the gentle fallen leaves.

Needless to say, Keel knew that the mountain wolf gang’s lair was just ahead.

Because the guy in his hand said that their lair was built on a steep and abrupt hill in the woods.

“Is it here?”

Facing Kiel’s question, the bandit who was still on the ground propped himself up with his hands and replied: “Yes, yes, right in front. You just leave me here? The leader sees me surrendering, they don’t want to surrender.” will forgive me.”

“As if you still think they’ll survive, or beat me?”

Keel was puzzled.

“No, no. Of course, the knights can’t beat anyone, but they have legs and can run.”

As he said that, the bandit crawled a few times on the ground, lay down on a few roots of a big tree, and then pulled the fallen leaves around with his hands to cover himself.

Kiel saw this guy trying to hide himself, so he ignored him. After warning him, he signaled to his subordinates to prepare for battle. Afterwards, everyone held weapons, and Kiel walked in the front. Scattered followed behind, just like this to kill towards the high place ahead.

This time they walked no longer as quietly as before. In the quiet woods, there were no other sounds except for the occasional chirping of nocturnal birds.

At this moment, the rustling sound of fallen leaves on the ground being lifted and pushed away continued to sound, accompanied by the sound of collisions of metal objects, and the rapid panting of young people. These sounds were mixed together, plus the magic cold light source that continued to swing and light up in the dark woods .

It’s hard not to be discovered.

But beyond Keil’s expectation, they rushed up and down, but they didn’t meet the vigilant robbers to ask questions or raise the alarm, which made him feel strange.

Until Kiel and the others subconsciously climbed to the top of the hill by stepping on a small path that the bandits had stepped on all the year round, but there were no bandits here except for a few big trees.

“My lord, are we being cheated by that guy again? Damn it! I’ll go back and kill him!”

As soon as someone among the young people said that, Keir grabbed the man’s shoulder: “Wait a minute. Look at this.”

Kiel pointed the long sword in his hand at a big tree in the middle of the top of the hill. On the trunk of the big tree, it was obvious that there was a climbing pit dug out on the trunk for the convenience of climbing up.

Looking at this thing, one knows that there must be people who are often active in the vicinity, and the top of the big tree is obviously a natural watchtower.

“The place is right, but the hill is round, we might have missed it when we came up, everyone be careful, the bandit’s lair is nearby.”

Keel stepped aside a little, and shone the light from his waist onto the upper part of the big tree on the top of the hill.

He saw the hollows on the trunk all the way up, along the branches of the big tree as a platform for rest and suspension, and at the highest point that people can climb, about two-thirds of the height of the big tree, there are several planks Spelled out lookout platform.

But at this time, there is no one on the observation platform built on the tree. This made him more sure that the bandit’s lair was nearby.

“Attention everyone, look at the footprints on the ground, you should be able to find the traces left by the bandits.”

As soon as Keir finished speaking, a cold light flashed from behind the tree trunk not far away, and a sword cut off the neck of a young man closest to the big tree.

“Paya!”

Keir remembered the young man’s name. After all, this young man, who was a little older than him, reported his own name and the village where he used to live during the chat on the road not long ago. But I didn’t expect that this young man would be hopeless after only one meal.

Blood spattered forward along the wound, but the bandit who attacked and killed him leaned slightly to let the spurted blood pass.

The young man named Paya waved the machete in his hand at the last moment of consciousness, but the weapon was easily pushed aside when the opponent’s long sword was raised.

The young man fell at last, without injuring his enemy.

When the enemy saw Keel rushing towards him menacingly, he immediately jumped a few times, turned around and dodged behind the big tree.

“It’s a powerful character, everyone stay where you are, don’t move around!”

After simply arranging his men, Keel strode towards the enemy who had killed others.

The enemy didn’t just dodge and retreat. When he saw Kiel chasing him, he quickly circled out from the other side of the trunk of the big tree, and stabbed a sword towards Kiel’s neck.

But Keir didn’t dodge, instead he slashed at the opponent’s arm with his right hand.

The enemy gave up the offensive, put the long sword on the long sword that Kiel had slashed, and with a muffled grunt, took advantage of Kiel’s sword swing, jumped up and retreated a few meters away.

“Knight? Damn it.”

The enemy cursed, as if surprised by Kiel’s strength and identity.

“Otherwise? Who are you? Mountain Wolf Barney? Or is it called Will?”

Hearing Kiel’s words, the enemy on the opposite side stopped moving. After standing still, he raised his sword to face Kiel, with a hint of doubt on his young face: “You know me? Where did you hear that?”

Keir was about to speak, but the other party frowned, and then said viciously: “Needless to say, hmph, they must be the ones sent by those guys to hunt and kill me, right? Huh, I know, as long as I’m still in contact with people , Even if it is a bandit looting in the mountains and forests, one person’s existence and news cannot be concealed.”

The opponent shook the standard long sword in his hand, shaking off the remaining blood beads on it, and then stood up the long sword in front of his chest, performing the etiquette of a swordsman before a battle, without waiting for Kiel to respond, Kicking off on the spot, the low figure quickly stabbed at Kiel.

“Um?”

Keir didn’t know what was wrong with this man, first he talked to himself, then he saluted and then shot first, his whole body revealed contradictory feelings everywhere.

But the opponent moved so fast that he didn’t give Kiel any extra time to react, so Kiel had no choice but to fight quickly.

Hunting with the long sword swept forward and downward, falsely parrying the opponent’s stabbing attack, and then the enemy dodged sideways into the tree trunk beside him, and Kiel took the opportunity to take off the shield and hang it on his left hand.

“Come on! Whoever killed me, you have to die too.”

The response was a bah, and a taunt: “A warrior should be honest, both with people and with swords.”

Hey, Keel is very happy, this soldier named Will who hangs out with the bandits, still has the face to say that he is an innocent and good man.

Go out and ask, among the hundreds of young refugees, who doesn’t say that he is a good person?

Who dare not say that he is a good person?

Standing in front of him with the shield in front of him, Kiel rushed forward stepping on the sloping ground. The other party entangled with him through the tree trunk, and a sudden bird chirping sounded not far away. When the man heard it, he retreated , and fight and retreat to a place below the hill.

Keel was so focused on fighting that he didn’t notice this.

It has to be said that although the enemy’s strength and defense are not as strong as his, but the opponent’s movements are nimble, and Kiel’s long sword often cannot catch up. Martial arts are also far superior to Kiel.

Although the enemy’s long sword weighs less than 10% to 20% of the hunted one, but in a real fight, the opponent cleverly uses the tip of the sword to fight against the root of Kiel’s long sword, often making Kiel unable to use all his strength. After a third of the time, the long sword was too awkward to swing, and could only twist left and right indiscriminately to deal with the tricky attack of the enemy’s long sword.

Fortunately, Kiel’s shield technology is more skilled.

Every time the opponent’s long sword breaks through the blocking range of Kiel’s weapon, it blocks in front of him firmly, so that the opponent can only draw sparks splashing scratches on the surface of the elf’s metal shield, and return in vain.

“Damn sword and shield!”

This guy has room to complain in the fight.

“You shameless bandit!”

Keir was not to be outdone, he was behind the shield, chasing the opponent and hitting back.

“Bandits are better than killers!”

The enemy jumped on the spot, stepping on the rough tree trunk to get out of Kiel’s shield swing.

The opponent was very afraid of swinging the shield and smashing it, because the weight of the shield was generally far greater than that of the weapon, which was not something he could resist with a long sword.

But the other party didn’t know that Kiel’s shield was very light, not much heavier than an iron dagger. Therefore, the seemingly aggressive waving and smashing down is actually not that strong.

“What nonsense are you talking about, you are the killer!”

Keel didn’t know why this man was crazy, whether he had been with the bandits for a long time, and his brain was broken.

Obviously, this enemy is wearing a loose long-sleeved and delicate cloth, leather pants and boots with a studded leather skirt, leather wristbands on his wrists, and cowhide fingerless gloves on his hands. Qian Youshi looks like a young man practicing martial arts.

The enemy quickly retreated a few steps and came to a small open space on a hill.

This place is not big, just the size of an ordinary house. The ground seems to have been specially cleaned, and there is only floating soil on the ground, without thick fallen leaves. Under the magic light, when Kiel swept his eyes away, he also saw the rough wooden chairs made of wooden piles around the open space.

Keel judged that this was the bandit lair that they hadn’t noticed or even missed when they went up the mountain just now, but when they looked closer, it didn’t look like it, because it was just a small flat open space, except for the big trees around it, there was nothing There are only lush weeds and shrubs facing the top of the hill.

But Keir thought so, but the reality was not like this.

Will, who wielded the sword, jumped backwards and crossed the open space. When Keir was catching up with him and came to the middle of the open space, the place he thought to be weeds and bushes was suddenly lifted by a fine net full of grass and trees.

Then six or seven bandits with weapons rushed out of it.

Keir was about to break out, but was stopped by Will, who was wielding a sword.

The next moment, he was surrounded by bandits.

Kiel held his breath, lowered his body, and turned his body to Will, who was the most threatening, while leaving the rest of his body for the surrounding bandits.

At this time, behind the thin net that was opened, a robust middle-aged man with his arms folded walked out.

“Good job Will. We’d have to give up this lair today without your help.”

There is no doubt that Barney the mountain wolf, the leader of the bandits, spoke.

But Will just nodded with a cold face: “This person should be aimed at me. It will also help me if we can deal with this found killer together. It’s not a good job. Barney, be careful , this man is a knight, and he is wearing metal armor.”

Mountain Wolf, the leader of the bandits, laughed: “I know, everyone suffered heavy losses before, because they didn’t count the White Wall King and his gang as useless. And they didn’t bring any heavy weapons that could pierce armor. Now, Look around you, young knight, and keep your eyes open for a good look.”

Keir’s helmet turned cautiously, followed by a clear cold snort.

Although the six bandits who surrounded him were still protected by animal skins and clothes, which were better than nothing, the weapons in their hands this time were no longer all kinds of long swords, machetes, and one-handed axes that did no harm to him.

It is a heavy hammer with a wooden handle held in both hands, or a two-handed felling ax that can only be used properly by the strong.

However, these things don’t look like serious professional weapons. It seems that the attributes of tools are more than the use of combat.

But Kiel had no doubts that the heavy metal hammer hitting him could have dented his armor, causing serious fractures or internal injuries. The blade of the equally heavy two-handed logging ax cut at the weak point of his armor, and could easily break through the protection of the armor, seriously injuring his body.

But that’s about it.

The corners of Kiel’s mouth under the mask turned up at some point, showing an excited expression.

A deep humming sound came from under the cold and dry steel visor. This sound that can easily make people feel excited, made Will break out in cold sweat on his forehead, and his hard calloused palms also Subconsciously, he clenched the hilt of the long sword made by winding silk himself.

The mountain wolf Barney, who is not mediocre, also feels bad, although he doesn’t know where the badness comes from, after all, he has the upper hand at this time, doesn’t he?

“You guys know the descendant of the down-and-out aristocrat who claims to be the King of the White Wall, right?”

The atmosphere is tense, UU reading www. uukanshu.com But apart from the sound of gradually heavy breathing, no one around dared to move.

“Then do you know how many people he has prepared to deal with the knights, and how many long-prepared methods he has prepared before he dares to say that he can defeat a single knight? And those above are all deceitful tricks to confuse people.”

The young knight’s words made Mountain Wolf Barney frown.

Why, the King of the White Wall can deal with the young knight. He, who is no less famous and wise than that man, Barney the mountain wolf, can’t deal with the knight?

The bandit leader stared angrily, gritted his teeth, and his face trembled with the angry expression on his face: “You want to say! We! We can deal with it! Can’t you?”

But a young voice came from under the visor.

“Ha, if you have a 100% chance of winning, why are you talking nonsense with me here? But, I’m talking nonsense with you, but I just think it’s interesting.”

The bandit leader couldn’t bear the arrogance of the young knight’s words, and directly shouted at everyone present: “Give me your hands! Kill him!!”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding bandits all made their moves.

“ha!”

“Die!”

“Avenge my brother!”

“Death to the killer!”

But in the next moment, all kinds of weapons attacking from front, back, left, and right were all smashed into nothing.

Because the young knight jumped up on the spot before the weapon came close.

This abrupt jump is far beyond the imagination of normal humans. After all, it is hard for people who don’t know knights to believe that humans can jump several meters in place, so high that they need to raise their heads to keep up with the movement of their bodies.

Before, Keir and Will, who wielded the sword, moved and fought continuously, but he wanted to fight for a while because he was happy to see the hunter. He didn’t show his true skills just now.
