Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 47 Resolved
Before Rhodes and the strong Nord man intervened in the battle, the mercenaries from Royal Court of Anu were able to leave a scar every time they avoided the troll's attack. It wasn't that the troll's attack was too slow, But mercenaries are too flexible.

But these injuries can't add up to make the troll bleed to death. The vitality of the troll can't be viewed with Rhodes' previous common sense.The troll was decapitated by the strong Nord before, and its body can still move on the ground, trying to find its head on the ground and put it back on.

What Rhodes didn't understand was that after the little troll was pierced through the back of the head with a sword, it could only move around after the injury healed a little. It might be because of its size or its younger age that caused its weak recovery ability.

It was only then that Rhodes realized that this world cannot be completely viewed with the thoughts of the previous world. Many things are too unscientific, but it can be said to be very magical.

With a poisoned gold needle in his hand, he went to deal with the remaining troll. The previous victory did not let him take it lightly, and the scar on his forehead will always remind him of it.

After some fighting, the poisoned golden needle stuck on the last troll. The poisoned golden needle can't directly kill the troll, it can only make it paralyzed and sleepy, and it will wake up after being hurt. This is just like Nord The strong man tested it for him.

The Nord strongman dismembered the last troll and burned it to death with fire and wine. After doing this, he did not feel joyful because of his victory, but hugged his brother's body while coughing blood and weeping bitterly. .

Rhodes sighed, there was nothing he could do in the face of this kind of thing, this kind of pain cannot be healed with a few words of comfort, that Nord's younger brother also sacrificed to protect the lives of others, otherwise he could have been like Those he protected hid in a safe position.

Those upstairs found that after the battle was over, they ran to the first floor and started cheering. After comparing them with the pair of Nord brothers, Rhode felt a little uncomfortable.

There are still many beasts wandering outside the hotel, there are constant battles, and people are constantly dying. Because of the smell left by trolls in the hotel, ordinary beasts dare not approach them. Those beasts that are stronger than trolls are here. It will also detour after smelling the troll.

Seeing those people who had already held wine glasses and started carnival for the rest of their lives, Rhodes, who was sitting on the chair, felt a sigh of relief in his heart and wanted to vent it.

He left the tavern alone, without a sword, wearing only a knuckle.Aya wanted to pull him but didn't, and could only watch him get farther and farther away from the tavern, disappearing into the night...

Aya didn't know why Rhodes ran out, it was very dangerous outside, and she didn't dare to go out to look for it.She sat in the hall until dawn and waited for Rhodes to come back.

She looked with contempt at those who had been hiding upstairs when the troll broke in, but now ran downstairs and yelled after the danger passed.

When will I become stronger, the kind that no longer needs anyone's protection, she thought in her heart.

She carefully looked at the mercenary of Royal Court of Anu who was eating deer chops next to her, wondering how a powerful person like him was different from herself.The innkeeper grilled this meat specially to thank him. The mercenary didn't say a word as before, which embarrassed the innkeeper with a flattering face.

From the very first sight, Aya didn't like the innkeeper, the fat man who had been expressionless before and now was full of flattery.

When it was almost dawn, there was a sudden noise outside, and the carnival people hid upstairs again. Aya saw with his own eyes that the hotel owner hid in the cellar under the wine cabinet and locked it from the inside.

Only Aya and the foreign mercenaries were left on the first floor. The strong Nord man was seriously injured and kept crying while holding his brother's body. He passed out and was carried to the upstairs room by a group of people to rest.

The door that had just been repaired was pushed open, and a group of soldiers in chain mail, holding one-handed swords and shields entered.The shield depicts a white fox curled up in a ball.There was blood on their armor and swords, and there was a strong smell of blood when they entered.Aya looked at them and didn't dare to breathe.

She recognized that it was the coat of arms of the Foss family. Since she was a child, she had studied the coats of arms, clan language and history of various nobles on the mainland every day.And her family has some grudges with the Foss family. If she is recognized, she will probably be taken hostage by the Foss family, unless her family pays for the ransom.

The soldiers were all wearing helmets, only revealing a pair of piercing eyes. The leading soldier looked around the inn, and his eyes stopped for a while on the charred corpse of the troll and the mercenary. He turned around and gestured, the soldier They exited the hotel in an orderly manner and went to other places.

Seeing these soldiers leave the hotel, Aya breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, these ordinary soldiers would definitely not know her.

Maybe my father can't recognize me now, Aya thought sadly.

She looked at herself, her flaxen-gray long hair had been cut into messy short hair, and her delicate clothes had been replaced with stinky animal skins.

The people hiding upstairs ran down again after hearing the soldiers leaving, and one of them asked the mercenary what happened just now.

The mercenary glanced at him with eagle-like sharp eyes, but ignored him, and continued to drink and eat meat alone.

After a while, many soldiers with torches ran past the door.There was constant roaring and roaring from outside the hotel.Not long after, the outside became quiet, except for the commanding voices of rescuing the wounded and cleaning up the corpses.

Aya walked to the door and stuck his head out to see what was going on outside. The sun began to rise, and the battle was over. Beside the road were piles of beast corpses, and human corpses were also carried by soldiers and neatly arranged. Row.

Many people on the road were crying and looking for the bodies of family members and friends. Aya was a little worried about Rhodes. Her pace became faster and faster, and finally she started to run. She ran from house to house to the edge of the town without looking to him.

She turned around and ran back again, and saw Rhodes sitting on the ground with a pale face on the other side of the town, surrounded by the corpses of wild beasts, including wild wolves, cave bears and even a huge troll. The troll was bigger than the three heads I saw before, and it was estimated to be five meters tall when standing up, but it was still dead. The huge head was cut into several pieces by an inexplicable force. I don't know how Rhodes did it.

Rhodes gave her a forced smile after seeing Aya, and Aya noticed that Rhodes' hands were covered with blood and kept dripping blood.He stood up, walked towards Aya, and said weakly, "Let's go back."

Back at the hotel, Rhode fell asleep on the bed, and the blood on his hands was not washed off.

Aya helped him wipe his face and hands with a towel and hot water. She clenched her fists and swore in her heart that she would become stronger in the future, able to help instead of hiding in a safe place like a coward...
