Mercenaries and Adventurers

Keir was eager to fight, but he still glanced at Bloodfang, who was left behind by the previous harpy.

One leg of Bloodyaster was scratched through with the saddle, but luckily the rest of his body was not injured. At this moment, after he was left on the grass, although he was dizzy, he hadn't recovered from the fall on his horse before. But he still knew what he should do at this time.

Immediately pulled out the dagger in a hurry, first disassembled the other leg that was mixed with the fixed belt on the saddle, then cut open the leather pants of his injured leg, looked at the wound reluctantly, and then cut the cut leather pants Cut into strips, knotted into ropes, and tightly hooped around the injured leg near the torso to stop the bleeding.

Seeing that Bloodfang was largely unharmed, Keel turned his horse and rushed towards the wounded Harpy who fell to the ground.

Behind him, the other three monsters jumped up from the ground clamoring, flapping their wings and aiming at Keel.

Da Da, Da Da's hooves quickened, Kiel grabbed the reins with one hand, and the end of the handle of the two-handed axe with the other, and rushed towards the lone monster sideways.

The monster that Kiel was targeting opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and on its humanoid head and face, there was a faint fear in the tyranny. It wanted to jump up and take off, but after being severely injured in the abdomen, it hurt so badly that it couldn't exert any force even if it moved a little.

"Quack, quack, quack."

The wounded harpy wanted to repeat the same trick, but the sound from opening its mouth was very limited, its abdomen was injured, and it was difficult to breathe and scream even with its chest cavity.

This time, it really panicked, flapping its wings and jumping in place.

Kiel stared at the monster closely, and let out a chorus that he couldn't hear. When the horse passed by the monster, the blue ax fell heavily.

A touch of blue crossed a half-arc, first using the power to accumulate while swinging down, just when the arc crossed the bottom, the ax collided with one side of the monster's swinging wing.

The wings and feathers of the harpy are relatively hard, but the feathers are messy and ugly in color, and the flesh and bones in the wings are even more tough and strong, and they are extremely strong.

The height of Kiel on the horse was exactly the same as that of the standing harpy. After the ax wings intersected, the seemingly powerful monster wings splashed feather fragments, broken bones and blood flew.

"Sip!"

The monster wailed and retracted its flapping wings, but only half of the retracted wings remained.

The other half was cut off by the axe and fell to the ground aside.

Kiel swung his ax and immediately slowed down and turned the horse's head. The three monsters in the distance tried to fly over, and the distance kept getting closer. Kiel pursed his lips, calculating the distance and time the monsters arrived, and considering whether he could give the injured monster another ruthless blow.

But his body reacted much faster than his brain. His brain was still making judgments and thinking, but his body drove the horse forward again.

Seeing that Kiel was coming again, the injured monster was terrified, and even lay down on the ground, trying to climb down to avoid the attack of the humans on horseback.

"Good idea! Die—"

With a loud shout, Kiel told the weapon in his hand of his strong intention to kill the enemy, and the blue surface of the ax suddenly burst into blue light.

A few meters away from the monster, Kiel swung his arm and threw the ax directly at the monster.

As soon as the thrown ax was out of his hand, it immediately spun, whizzed and brought a whirlwind, jumped in the air strangely, jumped up, first flew upwards, and then fell straight down.

And the falling target was the harpy lying on the ground.

boom!

This blow is different from Kiel's wielding strength of the weapon. Letting this spiritual weapon exert itself, the power far surpasses that in Kiel's hands.

The spinning ax fell from the sky and directly hit the monster's back in the middle. The monster also covered the other half of its wings against its body, trying to provide a little defense.

If it's an ordinary sword, I'm afraid it will take some effort to break the monster's solid wings, but this two-handed ax with blue light is quite different.

It was like a hot knife cutting butter, and a thin blade cutting tender meat. When the ax fell, the wings and the strong spine of the monster were smashed into pieces of meat.

The monster was instantly split in half by the ax through the middle of its chest cavity.

After barely stopping the bleeding, Xue Yaster, who was on the side, was stunned watching Kiel's performance this time.

"Don't be dazed, get on the horse!" Keel didn't care how his ax smashed the enemy. After throwing the ax at the monster, he charged his horse towards the blood tooth on the ground. He bent down and stretched out one hand , slow down the horse and prepare to take the companion away together.

It can't be done without taking it away, this harpy is really difficult to deal with, ordinary weapons can't kill it at all, and it also has long-distance sound attacks. Keir had no way to resist, and didn't dare to pester them too much.

-

Blood Fang watched Kiel rushing towards him on horseback, and he vaguely heard what Kiel seemed to shout amidst the noise and the roar of the strong wind. Although he didn't hear clearly, but just looking at Kiel's actions at this time, the caravan guard didn't understand anything.

No one wanted to die. Even after the horse rolled and fell just now, he knew that he was finished, but he didn't lose the idea of ​​survival.

It's just that he didn't expect that someone would actually choose to come to rescue him in a windy environment when facing four harpies.

"I don't want to die!" He yelled, leaped vigorously, endured the blood pumping from the wound on his leg, barely leaned out and stretched out his hand.

The two hands slammed together heavily, and Kiel's steel-protected palm held tightly with Bloodfang's gloved palm.

Even though his palm hurt, Xue Yaster gritted his teeth and dared not relax.

Kiel rode past him on horseback, and lifted his injured companion on the ground directly along the connected arms with strength. He clamped the saddle and the horse's stomach with his legs, and amidst the neighing of the horse, he swung the man behind him.

"Hold on to me!" Without Kiel's reminder, Blood Fangster, who was sitting behind the saddle, tightly grasped the cloak and metal belt on Kiel's body, even though the iron armor on Kiel's body hit him in pain.

"Drive! Run!" With a flick of the rein, the horse accelerated again and headed straight for the front militia team in the distance.

At this time, because of the appearance of the harpy and several attacks on the patrol team on horseback, the entire Kendal team had stopped.

The wind was strong, but it didn't affect everyone's sight very much. They watched someone fall from a horse in the distance, and then the horse was killed by the monster, and even the people were carried away.

The militiamen who could see this side were quite scared. The monsters are so powerful, can the things in their hands be able to deal with them?

Fortunately, there was a cavalry who turned around to save people, not only stabbed the monster with one shot, but also turned his horse's head the next time and cut off one side of the monster's wings.

"Good! Well done!"

"Who is that person?"

"who is he?"

"Stupid, it's Lord Crow's apprentice knight, Kiel!"

After the two-handed ax emitting blue light took the initiative to kill the injured monster, many militiamen secretly took a breath of cold wind. After seeing Kiel successfully rescued the person, the militiamen even gave a low cry.

But Keir was wearing iron armor, and there were two people crowded on the horse, but he couldn't run fast.

But the three harpies behind him followed closely.

Everyone's hearts were raised in their throats, for fear that something bad would happen next.

-

"Hmph." A cold snort came towards him, accompanied by a tall and strong horse rushing out from the front militia against the wind, but it was the Rumi knight who came to rescue him.

Rumi Knights are good at knight sword and shield martial arts, but this kind of weapon can still suppress the weak with the human team, and it is too short to deal with monsters. Therefore he confiscated several cavalry lances from the baron's personal guard who had just rushed to the front militia ranks, and delayed for a while.

It's not right to say that it was a delay, because Knight Rumi had already included the iron armor on Kiel's body when the accident happened.

He expected to have iron armor for protection, and there was still time when he rushed over.

But I didn't expect that, let alone being surrounded and attacked by monsters, after killing a monster, Kiel would save another person and come back without any injuries.

This made Knight Rumi a little surprised, but also very satisfied.

This kid Kiel looked like nothing, but he was able to handle the battle with monsters with ease. Not only is it not nervous, but it can also work hard to get the results.

And the cold snort of Knight Rumi was given to several baron guards who escaped from the monster just now.

These guys fled without a fight in the face of the monster attack. Although this was the right thing to do, luring the monster to the front of the army was a step that was explained before, but compared with Kiel, it was more than a step behind.

Boom, boom, boom.

The tall war horse ran with all its strength, and the trembling sound of touching the ground could not be suppressed even by the roar of the surrounding wind.

Different from ordinary horses, the extraordinarily special tall war horse ran far faster than ordinary horses. Rumi Knight let the two escaped Kiel, and aimed the spear in his hand at the three monsters that followed.

"Squeeze—"

The monsters see that this new enemy is not easy to mess with, so they start with an unstoppable screech.

The speed of sound is really fast, and it only swept past the Rumi knight in an instant.

But what surprised the three monsters was that in the past, they were unsuccessful in a hundred trials. Who listened to the sound of whoever attacked, and they just made the metal human in front of them shake slightly?

"Phew." Of course, Knight Rumi didn't feel good, but with the blessing of life energy, the knight-level physical fitness is still a bit weaker if he wants to be hurt by the sound of such strength.

Not only was he not doing well, but even his war horse was not afraid of the high-pitched screams of the monsters, and ran towards the monsters without slowing down.

The Rumi knight was about to stick out his spear to get a result when he was approaching the monster. At this moment, the three harpies flapped their wings cunningly, and took advantage of the wind to dodge the attack range of the knight's spear.

Not only that, they flapped their wings again and again, raised their heights, and did not dare to fight directly with the steel-wrapped humans, but turned to kill the fleeing Kiel and the ordinary militia behind.

Avoiding the sharp edge and only picking the weak to kill, this is one of the reasons why the harpies are feared by the locals.

But Rumi Knight was not reconciled, why did he let the monster escape without taking any of them?

He pulled his feet wearing steel boots out of the stirrups, retracted his dexterous legs, stretched his hands, and squatted directly on the horse's back.

The horse that communicated with its owner immediately turned around without slowing down. Then, the horse's back shook, and the four legs of the horse pushed down for a certain distance. Fortunately, the ground was soft, and a lot of force was sent to the ground along the four legs of the horse. go up.

However, Knight Rumi jumped on his horse and jumped up high.

The speed and height of his jump were even faster and higher than the winged harpies. Since the three harpies all turned their backs to him at this time, the knight Rumi lifted up his helmet confidently. At the corner of his mouth, he immediately waved his arms in the air, spotted the flying trajectory of the harpy, and shot the two-meter-long cavalry spear with a whine.

It was really a whimper, the tip of the spear pierced the air, followed the direction of the strong wind, and faintly drew a strip of twists and turns in the air, and accurately hit a harpy with a low-throwing arc that was close to a straight line. The base of the monster's wings.

With a distance of tens of meters, and such an urgent time to throw the spear, the Rumi knight didn't have more time to aim. With this result, the result is already very good. Moreover, although the harpies bully humans and have no means to deal with them flying in the air, so the flight trajectory is a bit careless, but after all there is still a strong wind hanging around, and those monsters who want to fly by the wind will inevitably rely on their instincts to fly in a small area. Adjust flight path.

Being able to hit with a single shot is already a high-level performance of martial arts.

But the harpy that was hit by the wings, no matter how strong the wings of the monsters are, in front of the spear projected by the knight, it is no different from ordinary birds.

The gun head smashed through the hard flying feathers, passed through the tough muscles, and finally hit the hollow wing bone of the harpy, and got stuck.

At the same time, the gun shaft behind the spear also exploded with force, breaking into pieces, piercing through the monster's feathered skin, injuring and smashing most of the monster's body.

"Whoa—"

Like a downed plane, the harpy wailed continuously, and the other intact wing was deflected by the wind, and fell to the ground in a spiral.

Because of not being able to grasp the angle of the final fall, also, this harpy has never been shot down from the sky in this life, and it has never seen other companions like this, so it is natural that it will not be able to grasp the safe method of falling in a short time.

They usually play with each other among monsters, and they will not do such dangerous actions. After all, the landing angle is not good. They don't need to fall first with their strong and dangerous claws. If other parts of their bodies collide with the ground a little, their bones will break.

Although it is not fatal to a creature with tenacious vitality like a monster, it is also uncomfortable, and it is very easy for him to be ridiculed and ridiculed by other harpies in the settlement.

As a result, the harpy fell headfirst into the ground, its hard skull even smashed through the turf, and buried its entire head in the soil.

"Sip?"

"Sip!"

The other two harpies were startled, turned around in the air, and saw the Rumi knight who was slowly falling down.

It is self-evident who knocked down their companions.

One of the two monsters seemed to be frightened. After seeing it, it immediately flapped its wings and flew to a higher place. After all, it is a flying species in the sky. The first instinctive reaction to danger is to fly to a higher place.

But the other strong harpy who led the team seemed to be provoked, dissatisfied that his side was defeated by humans in the sky. For a while, it didn't care about killing one of them, Kiel.

Immediately turned around and pounced on, uh, the knight's war horse?

After all, it is a cunning monster, knowing to attack first on the horses ridden by humans.

But it thought too much, the knight's war horse was not an ordinary horse. It soon suffered.

-

Keir rushed to the militia team with the injured Blood Fangster. He did not directly approach the militia team holding a spear like a hedgehog. Enter the team through a special gap.

Pulling the reins to stop the horse, Kiel first supported the saddle and rolled over the horse, and then helped Bloodfang on the horse's back to get off.

The wound on the leg pierced directly by the monster's claws was still bleeding, which made Xue Yaster's face extremely pale. Before that, he still had the strength to bind his legs to reduce the bleeding, and even got up and reached out to grab Kiel.

But now, it seemed that he was out of the most dangerous time, Xueyasite lost all his strength, he could only take a small mouthful of breath, unable to move.

"Stop the bleeding first, stop the bleeding first." Kiel muttered to himself, obviously he couldn't hear what he said, but he immediately took off the rope made of leather pants tied on Xuefang's injured leg, and in the blood Before another mass loss, Keel retrieved a rope from the nearby baron's guard horse.

This time, Kiel ruthlessly hooped Bloodyaster's leg. Although such a ruthless hoop could easily damage his leg, this is the best way to stop the bleeding in a short time.

At least for a short time, human life was saved.

And with the existence of the priest accompanying the army, the wound is not a big problem if his life is saved.

Ears were buzzing, and it was only then that Keel realized that the lips of the people around him were opening and closing, but nothing meaningful could be heard. Fortunately, it's not just Kiel, but also the baron's guards who escaped one step earlier, shouting at a volume that the wind can't cover, but they can't hear anything.

It wasn't until one person took off the guard-style helmet that he realized that blood stains had flowed from the ears on both sides under the helmet.

It was deafened by the monster's attack.

If everyone hadn't known that there was a priest, there would have been panic at this time.

The same is true for Kiel, knowing that this injury will be healed by the priest, so he doesn't care about other things. Looking at the Rumi knight fighting a monster in the distance behind him, the fighting spirit surges in his heart, and he can't suppress it at all.

'Got to help Knight Rumi. '

Thinking this way in his heart, Kiel turned his head and looked towards the logistics carriage in the middle of the army, and found that a knight in a carriage was guarding the surrounding area with a sword, especially in the direction of the militia team on the other side where the Rumi knight was not there~www .readwn.com~ Apparently, the knight was worried that there were other harpy monsters around, and he couldn't throw out the combat power of knights like them in one go. If Knight Crowe also joins the battle of Knight Rumi, let’s not talk about whether it will hurt Knight Rumi’s knight dignity, let’s say that both of them have shot, and they are still on one side of the team. If the other side kills a few more eagles If the body monsters attack, will they be able to catch up in time?

Moreover, as judged by Knight Crowe and Baron Kendall before, the harpies are already very dangerous in number because of the animal meat they donated to the business travellers, exceeding the upper limit of the natural survival of the local grassland.

It is very possible that there will be multiple monsters ambushing.

Although Keir didn't think too much about it, he still vaguely sensed the meaning from Knight Crowe's behavior. He knew that Knight Crowe was not easy to make a move at this time, and he must be guarding against more harpies that might be hidden.

He took a deep breath, got on his horse, and under the surprised eyes of the people around him, he rushed out of the closely guarded militia again.

Go straight to where the battle is taking place.

At this moment, the harpies leading the team were extra careful, and only used volley pounces to test Knight Rumi time and time again. pull up.

Moreover, this cunning guy was afraid that the knight would throw cavalry spears and hit him from the back. When he raised his flying height, he actually flapped his wings facing the Rumi knight.

There is no flaw at all.

Therefore, the Rumi knight put away his previous contempt for the local knight lord who died in the depths of the strange wind grassland.

If the harpies are so hard to deal with, then with only one knight, it's really not wrong to be defeated.
