Mercenaries and Adventurers

A large number of bandits rushed into the mist holding the slender tree trunk more than ten meters long. Shouting and roaring, they gathered their courage and cursed their target, the monster hidden in the huge white mist, with the most vicious words they knew.

With the blind attack of the bandits, the huge monsters simply couldn't dodge the bandits hugging trees side by side in the mist that covered their figures.

Boom, boom, boom.

The tree trunk that fell hit the monster.

But it seemed to have no other effect other than making the bandit who hugged the tree hit the ground roll to the ground.

In fact, it was not like that. The monster was also shocked by the actions of these humans. Where it was hit, there was a dull pain inside the carapace, and a tree trunk just happened to poke its mouth straight.

It's not as hard as other parts of the body's huge mouth being poked, which makes the monster feel very painful. It became angry, stopped the work of the belly bag behind it, and crawled forward, crushing the few humans who hit its mouth to the ground.

The magical beast circulated the magic power in its body, and once again released a rapidly expanding white mist.

-

The bandits outside were anxiously waiting for the bandits inside to succeed in the battle, but the sudden and rapidly expanding white mist surprised everyone.

They can't see anything anymore.

The originally empty field of vision can only see about one meter around him, and the originally noisy environment suddenly quiets down, frightening many terrified bandits.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! Gather together and don't wander around!" The bandits could only hear the weak shouts of the bandit leaders. Their loud voices sounded like dying wounded. faint sound.

Old Kosrus was also taken aback, and he didn't expect such a big reaction from the monster in the white mist. The white mist that suddenly expanded enveloped all of them, more than a hundred of them, and they couldn't tell each other. Hearing the sound, everyone panicked.

He roared loudly, making everyone around him move closer to him. Fortunately, there were fewer of them, and the formation was relatively tight. Even if the strange white mist weakened the sound, the bandits around listened to his voice and leaned over spontaneously.

Only then did he realize why the bandits who had entered the white mist before had disappeared and could not make a sound. It turned out that the white mist covered their voices.

But the white mist of Warcraft is not big, why don't they come out? Unless, they were all attacked by Warcraft.

Thinking of this, he quickly directed the approaching bandits to prepare for battle, and tried to light the prepared firewood to see if the flames could dispel the white mist around them or drive away the monsters.

While old Kosrus waited anxiously for the fire to rise, the other two bandit teams were being attacked by monsters.

The full-fledged monster no longer devours humans, but its legs and feet are also merciless. It originally wanted to rest and digest the food it ate during the period when the knight was not attacking it.

But these ignorant humans launched an active attack on it, and even hurt it.

Therefore, the Warcraft used two legs to push itself hard to crawl on the snow, and the other two legs were free to sweep and pierce the human bandits who were at a loss in the mist.

Many bandits lost their lives in a trance attack by monsters. But their screams before they died still made the other bandits enter a fighting state.

They quickly raised the fire, luckily dispelled some surrounding fog, and launched an attack towards the place where there was a huge vibration when the monster crawled. Back off the approaching Warcraft several times to test the attack.

Kosrus Jr. led a group of bandits to rush over, and when the monster was probing again, he led his men and threw a batch of throwing weapons together, wounding some places on the front of the careless monster.

But little Koslus was not at all happy. He still remembered the long, huge black limbs like meat whips that quickly protruded from the white mist not long ago. That thing was fast and powerful at the same time. If the team sweeps across, it only takes one blow to kill most of them.

At this moment, old Koslus was gathering with two other bandit leaders, discussing the retreat in a low voice.

I have to retreat, although it seems that the monster is a little afraid of the flames, and if it uses a throwing weapon, it can temporarily force the monster back.

But this is just a false appearance, a cruel fact is that these people basically do not have the fighting ability to harm that monster.

A few brave bandits in their respective teams personally stepped forward to fight the slender limbs of the monsters that rushed out of the mist. After walking for a few rounds, they were killed by the monsters, and then their bodies were pierced and dragged into the depths of the white mist.

This made many bandits so terrified that they couldn't even hold their weapons tightly. At any moment, a frightened bandit might turn around and try to escape from the suddenly expanding area of ​​white mist.

But old Kosrus didn't think they could just run away.

If the white mist released by the monster was created by itself, then even if they escaped, as long as the monster followed their large team, they would never be able to escape from the white mist range of the monster.

It will only be killed by the slightest sneak attack of that monster.

But the other two bandit leaders didn't care so much. They resolutely planned to disperse the three bandit gangs and retreat in different directions. That monster was the only one, and although it would definitely cause serious casualties to one of the teams, the other two groups would definitely be able to evacuate from the area shrouded in white mist.

Old Kosrus clenched the belt around his waist, with an angry look on his face, accusing these guys of their timidity and cowardice, they were not worthy of being bandits who dominated other people's lives.

But other thoughts were turning in his mind. He thought that his team was not bad, and he had expelled a monster entrenched here before, so it was impossible that he couldn't deal with this monster.

--

When the white mist suddenly expanded, Kiel pulled the horse directly and walked towards the previous wooden house.

Although he couldn't see anything, the snow-covered footprints under his feet could show the path he should take. When approaching the range of the wooden house, while guarding the surroundings, he told the people in the wooden house loudly that he was the one who came, not a bandit or a monster.

"Keir! Come in quickly." After seeing that the approaching person was Kiel, an old hunter called him into the cabin. But then I saw the two batches of horses that Keir was leading, and I was in trouble.

The cabin was already crowded. The rescued women, young and old hunters were all crammed into a small cabin, and there was nowhere to go, let alone Keel stuffing the two horses into the cabin. middle.

Glancing at the situation in the wooden house, Keir pointed in a direction, even though nothing could be seen there now, only a white mist remained: "I think we still have to evacuate here as soon as possible, and first arrange everyone to a place with a complex environment." In the forest, it’s safer there. If there is no fog, it’s okay for us to hide in the wooden house, but now it’s surrounded by white fog. What if the monsters leave those damned bandits and directly trouble us? We may be killed by the monsters at any time. Crush the cabin from above, and we're all dead."

"You're right, that's right, that's right. Did Sir Knight say something just now?" The old hunter called several other old hunters who were also guarding the door, and together they discussed the current situation with Kiel.

Although this young man, Keir, was just acquainted, he was not bad, at least he had more experience than those young men in their team. The few young men in this room did not care about the importance at this time, they were hugging the frightened women and comforting them.

The old guys were quite angry, but they didn't have the time to reprimand them. After all, you can't make those frightened women scream all the time, can you?

What should I do if I attract the monsters?

"Uh, Knight Lanisa didn't say anything, she just asked me to bring this thing back. It looks quite valuable." Kiel took out the golden dagger sheath pinned from his belt, and handed it to an old hunter closest to him.

Things made of gold, even if the shape can only make a rough bandit look good, this thing also has the value of the precious metal itself, worth a lot of coins.

This was not obtained by Kiel himself by defeating the enemy, but by the knight himself, so he didn't think about hiding it by himself. He's got a bit of money lately, so he doesn't **** off the newcomers with this ugly, cheesy thing.

"No matter what, we have to move quickly. It's not safe here. Even if we are fighting, if we are still here, we will bring hidden obstacles to Knight Lanisa." It's all for this sake, old hunter They decided to evacuate as soon as possible. Although the other young hunter hadn't come back just now, they had to evacuate.

Fortunately, just as the hunters let the rescued women ride on their horses one by one, another young hunter who packed up the corpses with Kiel also came along the footprints left by the horse pulled by Kiel.

Coincidentally, he was also leading a horse, and the six women in the house happened to be on one horse, greatly speeding up their movement.

They first followed the position of another house before the white mist shrouded it, and found several other young hunters who were extremely nervous, as well as the two new women in the house.

No one reminded the two of them, so they had no choice but to wrap their whole bodies in animal skins, carried on the backs of two strong hunters, and followed the team to retreat.

All the way from the middle of the bandit camp, across a large open space, to the forest that you will definitely encounter after going straight forward, and you are lucky not to be attacked by monsters in the middle.

I don't know if the monster was blocked by the female knight halfway, Keel thought so.

After entering the forest, the fog here quickly weakened. It's not that the fog is receding, it's that they have walked out of the maximum range of the monsters that are still releasing and maintaining the fog.

In a low pit, the team stopped. The old hunters hurriedly arranged for people to cut down the branches and set up multiple fires, so that even if the monsters came to attack them with a large amount of fog, they could use the fires to resist for a while.

Keel looked up at the large fog they had just evacuated, and found that this fog was different from the fog he had seen before, which looked like a half-closed wooden bowl. They were in the fog before, so they didn't know what the fog was like and how big it was.

At this moment, after walking out of the fog, outside of the fog, one can get a glimpse of the scope and shape of the fog released by this monster.

The fog is actually not very high, it is only about five meters high close to the ground, and it is naturally powerless for ordinary humans. But what if?

Kiel opened the mask, and climbed up a slightly thicker tree beside him with hands and feet. After climbing to the top of the tree, he finally saw the whole picture of the fog released by the monster.

Beyond Kiel's imagination, this piece of fog was centered on the fog that sticks to the surrounding monsters that highlighted the fog in other places, and expanded into a circular range with a radius of at least 200 to 300 meters.

Although the weather is gloomy, you can clearly see that the large area of ​​ground in front of you is blocked by white fog, and even the snowflakes falling from the sky are miraculously blocked by the fog, rolling on the top of the fog more than five meters high, heading towards the fog The periphery quickly slid and landed on the outermost periphery of the fog.

Judging the distance, Kiel tried to judge where the monster is now through the fact that the fog around the monster is higher than the fog in other places.

Calculating the location of the forest in the distance, Kiel found that the monster was still where the bandits had gathered before, and did not try to attack them, or take the opportunity to escape.

He called out to other hunters to come up and have a look, and told the old hunter who had climbed up what he had found.

"You're right. It seems that those **** bandits are food that cannot be given up to the wounded monster. But didn't Lord Knight try to stop the monster?" A hunter asked in confusion.

Kiel expressed his opinion: "Although it is not good to let the monsters eat the bandits that suddenly appeared, it is easy to make our previous battles go to waste. However, if we deal with the monsters first, we will continue to fight in the first place after the monsters are dealt with." How much stamina do the Lanisa knights on the front line still have to deal with those numerous bandits?"

"You underestimated the strength of Lord Knight. Forget it, you haven't seen how powerful she is." A young hunter retorted, and his words were unanimously agreed by other hunters.

Kiel pursed his lips, sat on a thick branch and folded his arms: "Well, even after dealing with the monster, the knight still has enough physical strength, but she is only one person. Thinking about it this way, if Those bandits turned to attack us? Not to mention that we are as energetic as the knights after dealing with the monsters, right? At that time, we will be captured by the bandits who have been watching and become a bargaining chip for the knights."

"I will fight to the death to prevent those damned guys from capturing me!"

"Me too!"

The young hunters said in unison that they are all loyal and simple people, and it is impossible for Lanisa to damage the honor of the knight.

Kiel curled his lips and looked at several old hunters. They were all standing on the branches next to the trunk, holding the trunk with one hand, and with one hand on their hips: "What about you?"

"It's not impossible. So, is this a simple game of fighting chess?" said an old hunter who had seen city people playing chess in their spare time.

Kiel, who also watched the old people in the city play chess in the residential area of ​​Kendall City, snapped his fingers: "Yes, we, I mean Knight Lanisa and you as hunters, of course, I must also be added." .We can deal with the monsters that were beaten away all the way.

As for the monsters, as you can see, several bandit camps with a large number of people before were all slaughtered by that guy without much resistance, eating all the people in the two camps. Presumably these bandits with more than a hundred people will not be its opponent. "

Speaking of this, Kiel took another look at the position of the large fog, and looked at the protruding monster in the center of the fog, which was close to the fog.

"In the end, there are several gangs of bandits with a large number of people and different levels. They crush us with all their strength. If we fight, the knight will be entangled, and we will be killed and captured by more than ten times the number of bandits. Regardless What do we think, the best situation now is to let the monsters eliminate the bandits, and then we deal with the monsters."

The hunters looked at each other, and at last they all agreed on this.

"But what if the monsters swallowed a large number of humans and recovered their physical condition?"

Kiel smiled: "Then don't give it this chance! Allow it to kill the bandits, but don't give it time to swallow and digest. Once the bandits are eliminated one by one, and their bodies have not had enough time to recover, it is our best It's time!"

"Yes, this is the most favorable time now."

"So, what shall we do then?"

Kiel pointed to the center of the fog ahead, where the monsters were: "Knight Lanessa will not fail to understand the current situation, and she will definitely summon us when she thinks it is appropriate. For example, jump out of the fog-shrouded ground and blow in the air A whistle? Or a shout?"

"However, even so, we still can't get close to the monster when we enter the fog. After entering, it's difficult to confirm the position. It's okay if the monster stays in place. Once it moves, it doesn't need to move much. It will move from one side of the original camp to the other. On the one hand, it is impossible for us in the fog to find the trace of the monster. Unless the monster cancels this large-scale fog."

A hunter questioned: "But it wasn't a monster that released a fog that wasn't so big, but it was also quite large. At that time, the fog dissipated quickly. Maybe after a while, the fog will disappear? "

Keir thought about it, and this one might not be nothing, but the situation before was different from now.

"The timing was not good before, but now the old wounds of the Warcraft have not healed, and they have swallowed a large number of bandits in a short period of time. Chasing and attacking it all the way? In the next situation, you can’t think about the good situation, you have to think about the bad situation.”

Keel thought about it, and felt that if he was a monster, he would not run away, because once he escaped, he would probably be chased and hindered by the knights, and the favorable fog could not cover the surroundings, hindering Kiel and the knights' assistants.

If the fog is maintained all the time, they can be excluded, and the situation that is more and more favorable to oneself can be obtained by only having to deal with the knights for a long time.

Kiel told his conclusions to other hunters. Some other hunters thought that the monsters could not be so smart, but some cautious hunters relied on experience and felt that the next situation would probably be as Kiel said.

Compared to Warcraft, Knight Lanisa does have a great advantage in flexibility, but his physical strength is naturally not as good as that of a huge Warcraft. Once it is exhausted for a long time, Knight Lanisa must be exhausted and lose the battle.

And those who can't help~www.readwn.com~ will only die in the fog created by Warcraft.

"So? What should we do?" one asked.

Kiel jumped down from the tree. He first grabbed the branch with his hands and let his body fall. When he grabbed the branch he just brought, his feet were hanging in the air, and the snow above the ground was only a little more than two meters.

And the ground is still thick with snow to buffer.

Letting go of his fingers, he fell into the snow and quickly turned over.

"I have fought it in the fog created by Warcraft before, and I can guarantee that I will not be hurt by it. To deal with it, I should be able to help the knight. As long as it is at the right time mentioned before, I will entangle you Stop the monster, let the monster focus on me, and it will give Lanisa Knight another chance to severely damage the monster."

Patting the snow on his body, Keir continued: "Presumably by then, this monster will not have the energy to release a large-scale fog, right?"

After checking the weapons and equipment, Keel felt that the effect of taking the red-eyed mushroom candy was not as effective as eating a whole mushroom for the first time, and the time seemed to be much shorter.

He felt that he had to eat another one before the next battle. Sure enough, after making more sugar pills, it is not as effective as eating dried mushrooms directly, regardless of the magical effect of mushrooms or the use time.

Of course, even if the effect is reduced at this moment, he is not as uncomfortable as before, probably because of the weakened side effects.

"I'm going to help the knights in the mist. Everyone, wait a moment and seize the opportunity, come over and provide support!" Kil rushed to the hunters, waved his hands, bid them farewell, and walked towards the place where he dropped his backpack before fighting the bandits in this camp. go.

Of course, he circumvented the fog and advanced outside the fog.
