Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 70

In the evening, Rhodes practiced the Divine Illumination Kungfu all night again. Since yesterday, he has not had that kind of red and black dirt on his body since he practiced the Divine Illumination Kungfu.

The night passed quickly and safely, and after breakfast and payment, the four of them set out on the road again.

Rhode's thousand gold coins were only more than 200 after buying horses and some sundries, and were taken by Baron to keep Rhodes, while Rhodes only kept five as spares.

Rhode's riding posture today is much better than yesterday, and he can already sit up straight on it, unlike yesterday when he was completely prostrate on the horse's back.

It is said that even ordinary people in the Royal Court of Anu on the grassland can shoot arrows and sleep on horses.

Rhodes had seen a mercenary from Royal Court of Anu, but he had never seen him riding a horse.

Walking on the road, an arrow shot over, hit Rhodes' dragon scale armor, and was bounced to the ground by the hard armor.

Rhodes took the two-handed sword from his back and held it in his hand, and another arrow flew over from not far away, which was blocked by Weber with the dagger.

Hammer and Baron rode their horses and rushed towards the direction of the arrow. At this moment, Rhodes saw clearly where the arrow came from, and a group of people were ambushing in the grass beside the road.

Balon noticed something halfway, and pulled up the rein with his legs tightened. The horse under him jumped up, while Hammer's horse was still running with him, and then his horse tripped and fell to the ground. With a cry of pain, Hamer on its back also fell to the ground and crushed a large piece of grass.

Rhodes and Weber also rode forward. Rhodes stopped the horse before he tripped, and walked over by himself. He was not as good at riding as Baron, and he didn't know how to make the horse jump.

Baron in the distance and the highwayman not far away have already started fighting. The highwaymen cooperated tacitly and wore tattered Roman Empire leather armor. They looked like rebels after a defeat.

If it is Rhodes, it will be difficult or even impossible to deal with them.But facing Baron, those roadblockers will soon be completely defeated. The shields in their hands can't withstand Baron's giant axe at all. land.

Weber checked Hamer's injuries. Before the horse fell down, he got off the pedals and tried his best to jump away from the traveling horse. As a result, his shoulder was injured by the hammer behind him, but the problem was not serious. He stood up and stretched his shoulders. To pick up the hammer again.

Rhode joined the battle on Baron's side, making the battle even more one-sided.

The two of them made eleven roadblockers incapable of resisting. Rhodes didn't even deal with Baron, and he dealt with all the rest.

"All squat on the ground for me, and throw the weapons in front of me." Baron shouted loudly holding a giant axe.

The highwaymen obeyed his orders.

"Don't kill us." One of them knelt down and begged.

"Who are you?" Hammer rubbed his shoulders and asked.

"We were just ordinary farmers before, but we were forcibly recruited into the army by our lord, Earl Milanson. He only let us train for a few months, and after sending us weapons and equipment, he let us go to the battlefield. Later we were defeated We are trapped here, with the Nord army on the south and north, we are forced to block the road and rob." The man wiped his tears and said.

"Why don't you take off your leather armor, put down your weapons and pretend to be civilians?" Weber asked, "It is said that civilians who are willing to stay here can be allocated a large piece of land."

South of the Winterfell Fortress built on the hills of the Nord Kingdom, and north of the glorious fortress of the Roman Empire, this large flat area is due to the fact that the two countries often have wars in this area, so there are not many people.Long ago the King of Nord decreed that this great piece of land belonged to the farmer who worked it, and whatever he could till it belonged to him.

The man who was pretending to be pitiful just now fell silent. What he said just now was thought up before he started his robbery career. He hadn't thought about how to answer Weber's question yet.

A person next to him also started to pretend to cry, and replied while wiping his eyes that were not crying, "We don't know how to cultivate the land at all, so we can only rob."

The next moment he himself realized that he had said the wrong thing. The roadblocker who pretended to be crying before turned his head and glared at him, and Baron laughed when he saw it.

"You have to make up your lies, and I don't want to kill you." Baron said, and he began to bend down to pick up the weapons that the highwaymen had just thrown over.

Those roadblockers were relieved after hearing what Baron said.

"But I confiscated your weapons, so you won't be able to rob them in the future. I know you must have earned some money from the robbery before, so you can take the money and go home," Baron said again.

Robbery is not a capital offense in Nord. As long as there is no murder or other evil deeds during the robbery, the reason why Baron can forgive them is because he has done a robbery before, but he was forced to do so. No one else knows about this except Rhodes.

Instead, the roadblockers began to complain that Baron took away their weapons, "You took all our weapons away, how can we survive here." One person howled loudly.

"I think it's really wrong for you to do this. What about the injuries on my body and the broken horse I fell? Just let me send them back to their hometown with my own hands." Hammer angrily took off the hammer from his back and walked towards the highwayman.

The highwayman squatting on the ground took a few steps back in fright when he saw it.

"Don't do that." Weber stopped Hammer.

"Let's let them take us to the lair first, and then we'll make a decision. Who knows how many weapons there are in their lair, maybe there are some things from people we can't see." Rhodes suggested.

The highwaymen wanted to defend themselves after hearing this, but they were stopped by the eyes of the first person who begged for mercy. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Baron's words, "I think Rhodes is right, let's go, Lead the way." Baron said.

Several roadblockers ran away after hearing what Baron said. Rhodes used the mage ball to catch them back directly, picked up the dagger and stabbed each of them on the thigh of the fleeing man, and held the handle of the dagger As soon as they transferred, they screamed in pain.

Pointing to those who dared to escape, he said to other roadblockers, "If you run away again, I won't just stab your thighs."

After they escaped, everyone guessed that there must be something shady in the Highwayman's lair.

After Baron saw Rhode's actions, he patted him on the shoulder approvingly and said, "You have finally grown a little."

The thieves didn't want to lead the way, they squatted on the ground motionless, Hammer stepped forward and kicked one to ask him, but was stopped by Weber, Hammer sighed helplessly.

Rhodes used the mage ball, and a small purple-black ball appeared in his hand. He made all the roadblockers float up and smashed them to the ground, speaking. "If you don't lead the way, I will forcefully read your memories. Don't blame me for becoming a madman. However, reading memories will have some impact on my body. If anyone takes the initiative to lead the way, I guarantee that I will not kill him." Although he can't read the magic of memory.

After hearing Rhode's words, the first person who begged for mercy rushed forward and knelt at Rhode's feet, "I will lead the way, I will lead the way, as long as you swear not to kill me."

"I swear to Holy Spirit August that I won't kill you." Rhode raised his hand and swore to the sky.

"Come with me." The man said with a sigh of relief and began to lead the way. Baron and Hammer pressed the rest of the roadblockers who were all crying and followed...
