Mercenaries and Adventurers

Keel felt the heat on one side of his body, as if he was a little hot.

The feeling of discomfort made him frowned, and suddenly opened his eyes.

The sounds of battle scolding and roaring that seemed to come from a long distance sounded in his ears, and these sounds gradually increased with his concentration of will.

Turning around, Keel changed himself from lying flat on the ground to lying on his side with his back facing the direction of the heat.

"Why?"

He was surprised, and suddenly remembered his previous battle.

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned over and sat up. While breathing heavily, he swung his head from side to side and found that he was lying in the rocky mountain stronghold that was the fourth line of defense.

There was no one around, but the sound of fighting could be faintly heard from the wooden wall of the third line of defense.

He searched for his weapons and equipment, and found that the helmet was next to the bedding he was lying on, and the longsword Hunter was in the scabbard, the armor was still worn on the body, and the shield made of elf metal was also hung on the back of the left shoulder. .

Grabbing the weapon, Kiel put the helmet on his head as well.

There were blood stains and a strong smell of blood inside the helmet. Looking at the location, it seemed to be the blood he had spit out.

Judging from the amount of blood, it doesn't seem to be a lot.

"It doesn't matter." Kiel didn't care about the **** smell, and put on the helmet directly. Through the obvious sensations on his body, Keir could feel that the red-eyed mushroom sugar pill he swallowed at this moment was at its peak potency.

After a simple calculation, Kiel knew that he must have been in a coma for an hour after being rescued by Knight Lanisa before.

After looking at it, there was no one in the stronghold, and everyone should be fighting. Kiel also started to run, and quickly ran down the rocky passage.

The body was a little uncomfortable, but it didn't get in the way. Kiel grabbed the scabbard on his left waist with one hand and the hilt of the hunting sword with the other, hoping that their unique abilities could bring him some help.

A hazy cyan light slowly seeped from both, penetrating Kiel's thick gloves and entering his body, making him feel better.

-

Turning a downward bend, the third wooden wall is in sight.

The two hunters were lying by the fire behind the wooden wall, and just by the way they lay, Kiel could tell that one was alive and the other was dead.

The old old hunter had a mouth, wide eyes, and a horrified expression on his face. It seems that in the wolf king's raid before, he died directly.

Another young hunter had blood all over his mouth, and there were many traces of blood on the ground on one side of his head. He looked very serious, but he was still breathing.

The remaining six hunters on the wooden wall were fighting at this moment, but judging from their situation, it didn't seem like such an intense battle. The six people shot arrows in turn, and the neighing of Lanisa's knight horse came from the opposite side of the wooden wall.

Keel ran over and didn't take his footsteps lightly. His boots hit the ground of the rock passage heavily, making a loud sound.

An alert young hunter turned his head when he heard the sound and said, "Kiel! It's Kiel, you're awake."

The others also turned their heads and took a look. Seeing that Kiel was moving vigorously, he should be in good condition, so they asked, "How is your body? When Lord Knight rescued you and came back, there was a lot of blood under your helmet visor."

Kiel touched the outside of the visor with his left hand and felt a little sticky. He replied, "It's okay, a small injury."

"Then help! Come up quickly."

Kiel nodded and strode up from the simple ladder behind the wooden wall.

His companion patted him on the shoulder, and Kiel looked over the wooden wall. It turned out that in the passage opposite the wooden wall, there was a layer of northern land wolf corpses on the ground, and among the corpses and arrows, it was Lara who was active. The mount of the Knight of Nissa.

The horse in steel armor.

But Knight Lanisa was not there, only her mount was fighting.

Looking at the past, one after another, the northern land wolves were crowded in the narrow rocky passage. They hesitated, obviously fearing the slaughtering horse.

Yes, that war horse was running back and forth, left and right in the narrow rocky passage for it, knocking down the boldly charging northern land wolves one by one, and then trampled on them.

It is very heavy by itself, and with the steel armor for horses protecting the whole body, it is a tank that is moving backwards and forwards.

The biting and scratching of ordinary northern land wolves couldn't hurt it at all, but several northern land wolves pounced on it, and this weight was enough for it to tickle. It can knock down the northern land wolf lying on the side of the body.

And its iron hoof is also full of power, as long as it is stepped on by its hoof, any northern land wolf will die immediately. The place where he stepped on it collapsed directly, the flesh and blood exploded, and the bones shattered, there was no sign of life.

Those northern land wolves had absolutely no way to deal with it, so Keel saw that as the last few northern land wolves were knocked over by the war horse and drove away, they no longer dared to rush over.

"It's amazing!" Keel was astonished. He didn't expect that he would have to go through a lot of tricks. The war horse can understand the northern land wolf with a few simple strokes.

This made him feel a little hurt.

Keel saw that the hunters just shot arrows to help shoot down the northern land wolf crawling on the back of the horse, and there was no need to do anything else.

"But, where did Knight Lanisa go?" Keel searched around the wooden wall, but there was no sign of Knight Lanisa.

An old hunter explained: "After the lord rescued you who fell, he put you in the back stronghold, which is safer. After all, the safety of you who was unconscious after the wooden wall was breached was not guaranteed at that time. But After that, Knight Lanisa went to chase the injured Northland wolf king alone."

Kiel remembered that he was on the wolf king's back before, and seemed to call back the two-handed ax on the ground, and directly injured the wolf king who was blocking the return route of the axe.

Knight Lanisa would definitely not give up this opportunity, so she naturally chased after the evacuated wolf king.

"I hope that Lord Knight can kill the wolf king directly. In this way, we will win! After all, these ordinary northern land wolves will never be opponents of Knight Lanisa."

The old hunter at the side shook his head: "Your Excellency can't be relied on alone. She suffered such severe burns. Although she kept saying that she was fine, none of you knew how serious the burns would be."

"So, these northern land wolves who want to fight us forever, we still have to solve it by ourselves!"

"One of Polu and Ike died, and the other was seriously injured. We have to avenge them!"

"That's right, revenge."

No one said more, these words can be simply said, after all, everyone is a hard worker, and there is no one under his command that doesn't kill a dozen northern land wolves.

Kiel knocked on the wooden wall with his sword: "So what do we do now? Give me a task."

The old hunter who had been directing everyone nodded and patted the quiver on his waist: "Keir, you have to take some risks, go down and take back all the arrows on the Northern Land Wolf."

Kiel nodded, looked at the northern land wolf corpses below, and found that a particularly large number of northern land wolves were full of arrows. It turned out that although the knight's war horse was unscathed against the northern land wolf, it was just a riding beast after all. The most powerful thing in battle was to stomp on it, but it didn't use it much.

Therefore, many northern land wolves who were only injured and knocked down by it were actually the bows and arrows in the hands of hunters to kill them in the end.

After a quick look, Keir could see that before the horses joined the battle, it was still difficult for them to defend the wooden wall. Many northern land wolf corpses were close to the bottom of the wooden wall, and even a northern land wolf was directly hung on the wooden wall.

"I'm going down, everyone keep an eye on me." Kiel said, and jumped directly with one hand on the edge of the wooden wall.

-

Underneath were the corpses of northern land wolves that were losing their body temperature, and some of them were still alive. When Kiel stepped on them, they screamed in pain.

With the sword in his hand, he put an end to the Northern Land Wolf who was not yet dead. Kiel quickly retracted the long sword and put the sword back into its sheath. Pulling out the steel dagger at his waist, he began to dig out the arrows that had been shot by the Northern Land Wolf one by one.

The northern land wolves in the far distance of the passage slowly retreated, and then hid behind the turn of the passage. They seemed to be communicating, and they howled, as if they were arguing.

The knight's war horse stood motionless in the middle of the aisle, shaking its head and snorting from time to time, as if mocking the northern land wolves.

Keir shook his head. He could see that if the northern land wolves attacked aggressively, the war horse would not be able to stop a few northern land wolves. The other northern land wolves just need to use their dexterous body to bypass it, and they can completely ignore it. Its blocking is specially coming to attack humans.

Just don't know when those beasts will understand this.

Before that, he had to quickly recover a lot of arrows.

He pierced the dagger into the wound on the wolf's body along the shaft of the arrow, and then pulled the dagger to incise and expand the wound until the arrow could be seen in the wound.

At this moment, he pinched the shaft of the arrow and pulled it, pulling out the metal arrow.

He held the arrows he produced in his left hand until he had collected a few, then stood up and threw the arrows over the wooden wall.

The hunters would go behind the wooden wall to pick up the arrows, and wipe the blood on the arrows with a pitch-black coarse cloth, and wipe the dry and cold blood that could not be wiped off with the coarse cloth. The arrows are polished, and there is no excess weight of blood stains on the arrow shafts, so as to ensure the balance and sharpness of the arrows in flight.

While Kiel was handling the arrows, he also picked up the corpse of the northern land wolf that was close to the wooden wall and handed it to the hunters on the wooden wall.

When they saw Kiel's actions, they understood what Kiel meant.

Near the wooden wall, there must not be too many northern land wolf corpses, because their wooden wall is not high in the first place. If there are corpses on top, the strong northern land wolf can rush up immediately. This is very dangerous.

So the old hunter immediately arranged for two young hunters to grab the northern land wolf corpse that Kiel had lifted up, and then turned around and threw it under the wooden wall behind him.

With the lighting of the fire, the wooden wall can be seen clearly here. However, after Kiel disposed of the northern land wolf corpse on the edge of the wooden wall, and moved a few meters away from the wooden wall, the lighting suddenly failed.

"Hey! I can't see here." Keel shook his arm and pointed to the piles of firewood piled up in the several depressions they left on the rock wall: "Light those fires that are illuminated at night!"

Hearing Kiel's words, the old hunter lit a special arrow, lit it on the torch stuck on the edge of the wooden wall, and then shot out after aiming slightly.

There is a thin rope tied behind the arrow. After the arrow flew into the firewood in the hollow of the rock wall, when the firewood lit up, the old archery hunter quickly pulled the rope behind the arrow back.

This is like an arrow without a metal head, and the front of the shaft is like a torch, with a circle of oil-soaked cloth tied around it.

One more shot, and after lighting the two prepared lighting pyres, Keel shook his arm to indicate that it was all right.

Then he began to deal with the corpse of the northern land wolf beside the knight's war horse.

The war horse stared at him curiously when he saw Kiel approaching. The clever beast recognized Kiel as his master's kind. It lowered the horse's head covered with steel armor, and gently pushed Kiel.

"Don't make trouble." Keel pushed the horse's head away, and moved a bit on its protruding ears.

The war horse took two steps aside, as if it didn't like Kiel touching its ear.

"Hey, I'm still shy." With a smile, Kiel dragged a northern land wolf corpse away from here, and after getting close to the wooden wall, he used a dagger to dig out the arrow. The cold northern land wolf carcass was lifted up.

Soon, the weight of the corpse lifted in his hand became lighter, and he quickly let go of his hand, letting his two companions take the corpse away.

"By the way, have you seen my weapon?" Kiel asked looking up.

Several hunters looked at each other: "Which one? If it's the double-edged metal spear, Knight Lanisa threw it when saving you, but failed to hit the wolf king. She picked it up later and chased the wolf king out. here."

"Oh, that's right. I mean my axe. Did you see that?" Kilby scratched the axe.

Shaking his head, the few people on the wooden wall said they didn't see it, and they didn't even notice that after the wolf king jumped into the air, Keel called back the ax and dealt a heavy blow to the wolf king.

Knocking on the helmet, Keel wondered if the wolf king would take the ax away after being directly injured.

Very likely.

-

After a while, the northern land wolf in the distance seemed to have come to terms with it. They can't deal with the armored horses blocking the way, so they can just bypass it!

After thinking about this, the northern land wolves howled loudly.

They are mad.

"Keir! Come back quickly. We can't stay here any longer. Hearing the sound, they are probably about to charge up. Bring the knight's horse back, quickly!" the old hunter reminded Kiel.

Kiel also realized that the northern land wolf's attack was about to begin, so he ran directly to the knight's horse and pulled its rein.

But this stubborn head refused to let Kiel touch the rein at all. As soon as his hand was put on it, he was gently knocked away by the horse. Even though it was just a light bump, the opponent's weight was placed here, and its light bump directly hit Keir's **** to the ground.

Kiel got up and tried again, but this time it seemed that the horse had been angered. It turned around, the horse's head swung, and Kiel was beaten to the ground.

"I'll go, this strength." Kiel didn't expect this guy to be serious.

Kiel was knocked to the ground, and the hunters on the wooden wall saw it, and they too were taken aback. The situation is urgent, so I don't care about the knight's war horse. Anyway, those northern land wolves have nothing to do with it.

"Come back!"

"Leave it alone, Keel. Come back soon."

Hearing what his companions said, Keir also knew that it was not the time to take care of this stubborn horse. He got up, rushed directly to the wooden wall, stepped on the gap between the wooden walls, and held the upper edge of the wooden wall with both hands.

The shoulder was grabbed by the young hunter, and Kiel took advantage of the opportunity to step on the wooden wall and climb up.

As soon as he came up, the hunter who helped him up started shooting arrows directly. Others had already started shooting arrows when the northern land wolf attacked.

But this time, the northern land wolves attacked on a large scale. They bypassed the knights and horses standing in the middle of the rocky passage from the edges of the left and right passages.

Whenever the horses approached to the left, they stopped and ran over from the other side. And a particularly clever northern wolf kept baring its teeth and claws in front of the horse, attracting its attention.

The war horse rushed towards the northern land wolf, but the northern land wolf immediately ran back a few times, and then continued to provoke the war horse.

The war horse wanted to attack other northern land wolves, but was annoyed by this guy, so it rushed to the northern land wolf who had been provoking it, but was lured further and further away.

The metal clips in the passage had no time to unfold the metal clips when Kiel went down just now, so this time the northern land wolf quickly approached the edge of the wooden wall.

Kiel pulled out his long sword, and kept using his shield to push down the northern land wolves who wanted to come up, or gave them a blow with his long sword, either stabbing or lifting the sword, but he rarely used straight up and down heavy chops.

Because he knew that the skulls of these northern land wolves were very strong. Although a single strike of a sword could kill this northern land wolf, there was a great possibility that it would be stuck in the skull.

There are more and more northern land wolves, and Kiel is a bit too busy alone. Often, as soon as a northern land wolf was knocked down on the left side of the wooden wall, another one rushed over from the right side of the wooden wall.

Soon, in the midst of this busy battle, a northern land wolf rushed up the wooden wall, bit an old hunter's arm and would not let go. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

Amid the hunter's screams, Kiel immediately rushed forward, not daring to greet him with his long sword, for fear of hitting his companions in such close combat. In this regard, Keir had no choice but to stab the northern land wolf's eyes with a dagger, and the sharp blade penetrated into the brain, and after stirring it, he killed the small northern land wolf.

"Keir, with that move, we can't stop it anymore, retreat, retreat." The commanding old hunter roared.

Keel immediately knew what the other party meant.

The long sword was passed from the left hand to the right hand, facing directly diagonally below the wooden wall.

Needless to say, the white light emitted from the sword immediately rose sharply, and Kiel shouted: "Try to close your eyes!!"

Without him saying anything, everyone turned their heads and closed their eyes tightly.

-

After releasing all the divine energy on the long sword, everyone jumped off the wooden wall. The northern wolves on the other side of the wooden wall were all howling and rolling on the ground, not because of multiple injuries, but because they were blinded by the strong light for a short time.

If it was normal, Keir would definitely jump down and kill.

But there were too many northern land wolves. Since the war horses were somehow lured away by the northern land wolves a moment ago, these northern land wolves all rushed forward, completely occupying the entire rock passage.

After everyone jumped off the wooden wall, Kiel and a young hunter directly carried the seriously injured companion to the stronghold of the fourth position. The body of the dead old hunter was also carried away by the other two young people. The old hunter stamped the torch on the fire, and then threw it into the wooden wall.

Seeing that the flames were not burning fast enough, they lit a few more firewood and threw them under the wooden wall together.

The fireworks ignited. Seeing this, the old hunters retreated slowly, and let the old hunter whose hand was bitten retreat first to heal his wounds.
