Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 16 Combat
Thinking of this, Rhodes took out the tattered iron armor from the space ring and put it on himself.

Just after he put on the iron armor, a group of people wearing tattered black fur jackets and holding rusty battle axes rushed out of the woods on the nearby mountain, roaring and screaming.

The person in the lead was dressed differently from the others. He was wearing a black sacrificial robe and a hideous black mask on his head. There were protruding horns on both sides of the top of the mask.

"This is a priest of the Dragon Worship Cult. I don't know why this kind of person gets mixed up with ordinary robbers and mountain people." Hamer, who was standing beside him holding his warhammer tightly, said.

"What is Dragon Worship?" Rhodes asked, and he drew the long sword from his waist and held it in his hand.

"They're a bunch of lunatics who roam the Nords with the purpose of reviving dragons that were slain by ancient Nord heroes," Hammer explains.

"Can the dragon be resurrected after death? Why do they resurrect the dead dragon?" Rhodes asked a series of questions.

In a certain game, the dragon can be resurrected, but this is a real world, and being able to be resurrected completely violates the common sense that Rhodes knows.

"As long as the dragons are not killed by the Nord royal family, they can be resurrected by holding some special rituals. As for why they resurrected the dragons, there are too many rumors about this. Some people say that they are for power, and some people It is said that their family has been the servant of the dragon from ancient times to the present." Hamer explained.

He was unexpectedly able to explain patiently to Rhodes this time.

Soon the group of people rushed to the vicinity of the convoy and fought with the caravan.

This is not the first time that Robber Rhodes has encountered such a robbery without saying a word.

After Hammer smashed a bandit into the air with a hammer, he went forward and confronted the believer of the Dragon Worshiper alone. No one on either side interfered with their battle. Hamer played evenly.

Rhodes fell into a melee, and several robbers cooperated to attack him and a caravan guard who only said a few words.

These robbers should often fight together, and they cooperated tacitly.

Rhodes originally thought that after practicing basic swordsmanship for a period of time, this battle would be much easier than last time, but these bandits cooperated so well, making this battle even more difficult.

He held the "Wise Men's Calamity" and kept parrying the robbers' attacks without even a chance to counterattack. The caravan guard next to him roared loudly, and he had already been left with several wounds.

If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Rhodes was hit by an ax in the left hand without paying attention.

A burst of severe pain came from the left arm, as if the arm was about to break off. Rhodes glanced at it, and saw a big hole in the iron plate on his left arm, and it was sunken downward, with blood flowing continuously Drain from the wound.

The situation was not good, the severe pain made Rhodes unable to hold his sword steadily.

He took a few steps back and leaned against the car, and looked around. There were three robbers approaching him from left to right in front of him.

"Little boy, if you put down the weapon in your hand and kowtow to us a few times, we don't have to kill you." The robber on the left laughed, showing his yellow teeth.

There is a bullock cart behind, and there is no way to retreat. If you want to live, you can only move forward.

Rhodes clenched the long sword in his hand, a blue light flashed on the sword, and then returned to normal.

He suddenly roared, and rushed to the two robbers on the left in front of him. If he was killed, he would be able to break out from the left.

Rhodes stabbed straight with his sword, and seemed to have a sense of indomitableness. The robber sideways avoided his attack.

Just when the bandit thought that Rhodes was about to launch a second attack, Rhodes turned around quickly and slashed at another bandit who was approaching step by step with his sword.

The thick fur armor couldn't stop the long sword, and a big cut was made in the bandit's neck, and the dirty fur armor of the bandit was immediately stained red by the gushing blood.

He touched his neck with his hands in disbelief, opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound, Rhodes took the opportunity to kick him to the ground with a side kick.

Although the plan just now was not completed, it also reduced the opponent's staff. One-on-two is much easier than one-on-three.

The other bandit on the right might have a better relationship with him, so he got anxious and slashed at Rhodes with an axe.

Rhodes sideways dodged this powerful blow, and before the robber in front of him recovered, he stabbed him in the neck with a sword, and then quickly pulled out the sword.

At this moment, the remaining robber roared angrily and struck with an axe. Rhodes subconsciously used the long sword that had just been pulled out of the other's neck to parry, blocking the robber's axe.

The two of them stood in a stalemate with arms locked together like in the movie, and neither of them could get closer.

Rhodes held the long sword in both hands, and there was pain in his left hand, but he could only clenched his teeth and persisted. The long sword was almost pressed against Rhodes' chest by the man's axe.

With a loud roar, he felt an inexplicable force surge out of his body, making his strength comparable to that of the robber in front of him.

Just as Rhodes was about to change his tactics, the robber suddenly spit at him, but Rhodes didn't react, and the saliva just spit on his eyebrow.

It's really disgusting, there is such a wretched move, why didn't I think of it before.

This also inspired Rhodes. He suddenly picked up the robber's ax forcefully, and then slammed his forehead fiercely at the robber's face. He only heard a "click", and the bridge of the robber's nose was broken and blood flowed.

He hit his head hard again, making a crisp "bang", and the already dizzy robber fell to the ground.

Rhodes took out a towel from the interspatial ring and wiped the saliva and blood on his face, probably because of the blessing of the iron cloth shirt, so his head looked like he had practiced iron head skills.

Maybe the head is not as hard as those who have really practiced iron head skills, but it is definitely harder than the average person's head, and it doesn't feel too painful when it hits someone's nose.

In the future, maybe this is one of his trump cards.

Rhodes lowered his head to check the injury on his left hand. It didn't seem to be a serious problem. After the ax just passed through the iron armor, the buffer of the two animal skin jackets and the unloading force of the iron cloth shirt, only a shallow line was left on his arm. shallow wounds.

The reason for the pain was that the force of the ax was relatively strong, as if someone had hit his arm with an iron rod.

Now the melee is still not over, Rhodes took out a strong rope from the space ring and tied the fainted bandit under his feet to the side of the car, and took the sword to rejoin the melee.

Rhodes still has some resistance to killing, not to mention that the robber has lost the ability to resist.

It is also possible to send alive robbers to local lords in exchange for bounties, while dead robbers are worthless.

If you just take a head, unless the owner of the head is a very famous robber, otherwise who knows whether the head belongs to a robber or an innocent civilian.

The adventurers on the caravan side are generally stronger than the bandits on the opposite side, and their combat skills are similar, mainly because they are better equipped.

Maybe a few regular troops with better equipment and more advanced combat skills can chase these bandits around.

Rhode noticed that the caravan guard who had fought side by side with him for a while was leaning against the car, clutching his bloody chest and howling loudly.

If this kind of injury is not treated, he may die in a short time.

He sighed, took out the high-grade gold sore medicine in the system space, and applied it on the wound on the caravan guard's chest.

"Thank you." The caravan guard said weakly, but with sincere eyes.

"It's okay." Rhodes waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the battle group again.

I don't know where Baron and Weber have gone. If they were by now, they would have already dealt with all the robbers.

The last time Baron chopped up people in the crowd was as fresh as a vegetable in Rhodes' memory.

Just as he was thinking about this, Baron appeared in his field of vision carrying a bow and arrow and wearing clothes similar to those of the previous Dragon Worshipers.

Baron threw the man directly from his shoulders to the ground, took off the steel battle ax on his back and joined the battle.

Seeing that Baron joined the battle group, Rhodes took his sword and began to sneak around the bandits who were concentrating on fighting and fighting on par with others. He slashed a sword at a person, and ran directly to the next person regardless of whether he slashed or not. .

After Baron joined the battle, the situation became one-sided. Every time he swung his giant axe, one person was knocked into the air. He didn't seem to want to kill people. The broad axe used to knock people into the air, not the sharpness. the blade of the axe.

It didn't take long for the robbers to flee. Their original idea was that some of them would entangle the caravan, while the other quickly snatched the goods. However, since the caravan's goods were all packed in big boxes and tied to the car, they The plan was not successfully implemented.

There were also a few robbers who ran away with boxes, but were soon caught up and tied up.

Daniel tied up a Dragon Cult follower, pressed him to the car and took off his mask, put a dagger on his neck and began to interrogate him...
