Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 184 Untitled
"We have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill us?" The triangular-eyed mercenary said with a painful face.

"Why is there no grievance? You were going to smash my shop just now. If it wasn't for him, you would have really smashed me, and I would definitely be beaten up by you." Gilbert of super guardian said.

"I didn't intend to kill you either." The triangular-eyed mercenary said again.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, isn't it too early to pretend to be pitiful? There are still four of you left, and we only have two." Rhode smiled.

Then he rushed to the nearest mercenary, and that mercenary stabbed at him directly with a sword. Rhodes didn't dodge, but used Star Shift instead.

The sword that the mercenary stabbed at Rhodes was suddenly uncontrollable and pierced himself. Before he could realize what was going on, the sword in his hand was stuck in his own chest.

He looked at Rhodes in disbelief, as if he wanted to say something.

Rhodes kicked him directly and kicked him to the ground, too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

"Don't drink too much before going out next time, lest you don't even know your opponent, and end up killing yourself in the end." Gilbert said, "Oh, yes. There will be no next time for you."

Rhodes turned around, and the remaining three mercenaries surrounded him. They glanced at each other, and then stabbed the swords in their hands at Rhodes at the same time.

Rhodes stood still and did not move. He used Star Wars again, and after three sounds of sharp blades piercing muscles, the three mercenaries surrounding Rhodes fell to the ground with disbelief.

Their swords were all stuck on their companions, and the three of them formed a circle with their swords.

Rhodes turned his head to look at the triangular-eyed mercenary who had lost his fighting power long ago. The mercenary was still bowed and suffering from severe pain.

"Don't kill me." The triangular-eyed mercenary fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Rhodes didn't have the slightest sympathy for these mercenaries. If he didn't have this kind of strength, these mercenaries would definitely not let him go easily, and they were the ones who didn't abide by the rules first. Want to use violence to buy and sell by force.

Although killing them directly seems a bit excessive, this is also the simplest solution without any hidden dangers. If it was before, Rhodes might still want to let them go and persuade them to be good like Tang Seng.

"I'll give you a happy death." Rhode pointed his finger at the triangular-eyed mercenary kneeling on the ground.

An invisible air pierced the triangular-eyed mercenary's forehead, and he fell to the ground without moving.

"Take care of all the corpses, and the blood on the ground. Do you have alchemy potions like corpse powder?" Rhodes looked at Gilbert and asked.

"No, but don't worry, we'll take care of this." Gilbert lifted the secondary protection and walked towards the corpses around Rhodes.

"It doesn't matter if it's not cleaned up. The Nord army has arrived outside the fortress. It is estimated that no one will notice the six missing mercenaries." Rhodes said as he walked outside to pick up the food that was placed outside the door before. .

He put the wooden bowl containing food on the counter of the grocery store, and then walked towards the attic. He didn't get any blood on his body during this battle, and even if he wanted to take a bath, he didn't have any conditions, unless he was willing to use it when the winter was about to come. Take a cold shower.

Rows of bookshelves and a single bed were placed on the attic. Rhodes took a copy down and found it was a magic book "Theory and Application of Electric Shock Technique".

Rhodes lit the oil lamp on the desk next to the bed, opened the book and read it.

It records the spell model of electric shock and some basic theories about destruction magic.

Half an hour later, Rhodes closed the book, closed his eyes, and recalled the magic model just now.

This magic belongs to the very basic destruction magic. He opened his eyes and looked at the blue electric light dancing in his hand, feeling that he had successfully mastered this spell.

He searched the bookshelf again, but only found four magic books "How to Use the Flame Tongue Technique", "Introduction and Improvement of the Freezing Technique", "Basic Concepts and Principles of Healing Technique", and "What is the Guardian Technique".

Rhodes picked up the four magic books and opened them one by one. These books are all cheap magic books. They cannot allow readers to directly master a certain kind of magic, but require readers to comprehend and practice to master it.

The price of those magic books that allow people to directly master magic is also tens or hundreds of times higher than this kind of magic book, but there is no such magic book for advanced magic, and one can only comprehend it by oneself.

Three hours later, Rhodes rubbed his dry eyes. Reading with an oil lamp still hurts his eyes, and he will see if he can make a light bulb when he has a chance. LED lights can't be made, but incandescent lights shouldn't be a big problem. Energy-saving lamps are also expected to be developed.

He has basically mastered the four basic spells. Although he feels that they are not very useful, he might be able to use them sometime.

Rhodes was lying on the bed. He didn't practice the Divine Lighting Technique as he did a few days ago. He decided to take a good rest. The Nord army might attack the fortress tomorrow.

I don't know if Baron and Hammer have joined the Nord army.

Rhodes actually didn't have a particularly detailed plan for tomorrow. He had never participated in such a war, so he had no idea what the situation would be like.

However, he felt that the most effective action to change the situation of the battle was to find a way to open the city gate.

He can see the city wall of the fortress every day. It is more than 20 meters long, which is about the same height as the six or seven-story buildings before. It is estimated that many mages joined in to create such a majestic fortress.

It is almost impossible to break through such a fortress with ordinary siege equipment. Ordinary siege ladders cannot be made so long, so they need to be specially made on the spot.

It is said that Nord's army went to the mountains next to the fortress to cut down trees to build siege vehicles and catapults. As for the special siege ladders for attacking the fortress, they prepared them in advance.

Rhodes felt that he should find a way to destroy the bed crossbows on the city wall. The bed crossbows still pose a great threat to the slow-moving siege vehicles.

The next morning, Rhodes woke up early, ate the food he had prepared yesterday, put on his armor and took his weapon and shield, and woke up Gilbert, who was still in his dream, to say hello to him. Then left the grocery store and walked towards the north wall.

He heard in the tavern yesterday that some mercenaries were discussing the matter of being asked to gather on the city wall early this morning. In order not to attract attention, Rhodes decided to blend in with the large army and go to the city wall with the mercenaries in the tavern this morning. on assembly...
