Through the narrow gap, Suren saw a soldier who was shot by an arrow not far from the window.
As a former mercenary, Suren was able to discern many things from a simple arrow. The soldier in front of him had obviously died from a ruptured heart, which meant that the arrow was extremely accurate, and the strength of the arrow was beyond imagination. Also …
Suren squinted his eyes and found that there was a layer of white frost on the soldier's chest!
Su Lun was extremely astonished. He had heard of martial experts who could add frost abilities to their arrows, but those were basically legendary figures. They were not people he could come into contact with at his level.
The street was unusually empty, but the soldiers who rushed into the town were shouting and yelling. They did not use any tactical gestures, and even their accents were different. Needless to say, they were not coordinated at all. Therefore, after searching for a long time, they did not even see Roddy's shadow.
But such a situation gave rise to some incidents.
As they could not find Rody, the soldiers could not help but start to search the 'suspicious' shops and residences. Muffled sounds of doors being kicked and cursed could be heard from the streets. There were also the cries of women and children mixed in.
When a war broke out, the soldiers often became completely unscrupulous. They were loyal to the lord and did not care about the "law" here. Even if something happened, the lord and the nobles would bear the responsibility, and they would not be held responsible.
With that in mind, some of the soldiers were not interested in besieging Rody. Instead, they started to plunder and loot.
As they could not find Rody, a team of ten people started to search the vicinity of Su Lun's shop. One of them looked at Su Lun's shop's name and without hesitation, he kicked the wooden door of the shop.
Suren, who was inside the house, was startled. Then, he was extremely angry. He clenched his teeth and pushed the window open, shouting, "What are you doing?"
Hearing his question, the soldier outside the door rushed to the window without saying a word and shouted, "Open the door!" At the same time, he reached out to grab Su Lun's collar, but Su Lun took a step back and dodged.
"You dare to dodge? Damn shorty, you're dead meat today! "
This kind of threat sounded very low, but Suren knew that the soldier was not joking. The tragedy that had happened in the past made Suren feel an uncontrollable fear. He was not afraid of the soldier himself, but he was afraid of the person behind the emblem on his chest … Earl Owen.
While Suren was in a daze, the soldier standing in front of the window suddenly trembled, and his face instantly revealed a look of pain and struggle. Under Suren's surprised gaze, the soldier's mouth was covered by a hand from behind, and his entire body fell backwards. However, the person behind him supported him and slowly lowered him to the ground.
The soldier breathed his last within three seconds, not making a single sound from beginning to end.
"Oh … we meet again, Master Su Lun."
The figure behind the soldier slowly stood up and spoke casually, but Suren was shocked. Only then did he realize that it was the guy he had been waiting for!
Suren did not want to cause trouble, but when he saw that Earl Owen's soldier was killed, he felt unprecedentedly refreshed. His impulsive mood made him abandon his principle of "not causing trouble". He directly moved away from the window and shouted at Roddy, "You … you … come in! Come in quickly! "
Roddy was a little surprised, but after looking around, he jumped into the shop through the window.
After he entered the room, Su Lun quickly pulled the window shut.
"My name is Roddy."
Rody stood up and calmly introduced himself. His tone was very flat.
However, Suren was slightly panting because of excitement and nervousness. He seemed to be a little unable to believe what he had just seen. He asked in a trembling voice, "You … you … you killed someone?"
Mercenaries were not necessarily people who lived on the edge of a knife. Suren had never killed anyone, so he was very shocked.
"Oh, I see that his attitude towards you is not very good, so …"
Roddy shrugged, and his tone was calm as if he had not just killed someone, but pulled out a blade of grass.
Suren was a little confused by Roddy's answer. He could not help but look at the window again. When he turned back to look at Roddy, he found that Roddy was carrying a short bow on his back …
"You … Are you fighting with them?" Suren vaguely guessed a certain possibility in his heart, but it was a little ridiculous.
How could such a disheveled guy, who was wearing a torn leather armor, dare to fight against Earl Owen's soldiers alone?
"It's not really a fight. I just have some misunderstanding with them that I need to clarify."
Roddy responded very seriously, and then did not continue to chat. Instead, he naturally took out an arrow and threw it forward. The arrowhead was nailed to the wooden frame next to the window.
"I'll compensate for the damage caused."
Suren opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something. But the next moment, he saw Roddy pick up the exquisite short bow, open the window, and smoothly take out an arrow from the window frame. He nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and took aim …
This almost scared Suren crazy. There were at least nine soldiers outside. Attacking like this was completely suicidal!
However, Roddy's movements were smooth and quick. His confidence and powerful momentum made Suren unable to say anything after he opened his mouth. When he saw the frost on the chest of the dead body, he suddenly felt that … he did not understand what kind of role Roddy was at all.
Suren's steps froze. He wiped his red nose and hesitantly looked in the direction where Roddy's arrow was pointing.
The window of the leather shop was not big. From Suren's point of view, his field of vision could only be considered "narrow". Even so, he could still see three soldiers jogging towards him from the middle of the street. They were shouting things like "Paul got shot", "Beware of hidden arrows", "That guy might be nearby", and so on.
The lighting in the leather shop was dim, but there was plenty of sunlight outside. So when the soldiers looked at the dead body on the ground, they did not notice the steady short bow a meter behind the window.
The three of them got closer and closer. When they were about ten meters away from Rody, one of them said, "We must surround this bastard." Rody listened to their conversation with an expressionless face. Then, he naturally turned the arrow around.
With a muffled sound, blood splattered, and one of the soldiers was sent flying!
Because the distance was too close, the arrow exploded the soldier's head with extreme force. The second and third arrows did not stop, and they killed the remaining two soldiers on the spot!
At that moment, Su Lun finally understood why Rody wanted to nail the arrow to the window frame. It was so that the action of drawing the arrow would be smoother and the shooting speed would be faster.
Roddy's usage of the details in a small-scale PVP battle was at its peak. Standing in the room, he was almost like a "sniper". Retreating a meter behind the window might seem casual, but in fact, it gave Roddy an absolute advantage!
The other seven soldiers sensed the commotion and appeared in Roddy's field of vision, unaware of what was going on.
Suren thought he had seen a lot of things after years of being a mercenary, but what he saw next was the scariest and calmest massacre he had ever seen in his life.
Roddy faced the window with his feet nailed to the ground. Three seconds after the seven soldiers entered his field of vision, he pulled the bowstring with his right hand and released it.
Then, the sound of the bowstring cutting through the air became continuous.
There were no screams or cries, only the soldiers' shouts and the muffled thuds of bodies falling to the ground. Suren stared at the window with cold sweat all over his body. He clearly saw that none of Roddy's arrows missed, and all of them were fatal!
The street instantly returned to silence, but another group of soldiers' shouts and footsteps could be heard from afar. Roddy did not intend to stay here any longer. He put away his bow and prepared to leave, but when he turned around, he seemed to remember something and said to Suren, "I'll come back to collect the armor pieces. I think it'll be in a few days."
Roddy's calmness sent a chill down Suren's spine. If he had just killed a ten-man squad, he would probably be trembling with excitement and fear. However, Roddy's expression was no different from when they first met. It was as if he was really here to talk business …
"I, I, I'm fine …"
"That's good."
Roddy smiled warmly. "It's a pleasure working with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and dashed out of the leather shop, heading straight for the squad that was charging at him from afar.
Suren rushed to the window and stared with wide eyes. In his field of vision, he saw Roddy shooting three arrows in a row. He then reached into his inventory and took out a scroll. When the soldiers were about fifteen meters away from him, he tore it open.
A faint red light flashed. The "Curse: Chaos" stunned the soldiers at the front, and they immediately started attacking their comrades behind them.
Roddy slowed down his pace and shot one arrow after another. When he got close to the soldiers, he pulled out his scimitar and started killing them like a tiger in a flock of sheep.
After advancing to Level 3, Roddy's attributes completely crushed these "militias" who were only Level 5. Kicking and slashing, he finished the battle in less than seven seconds.
Rody pulled out the arrows that he could retrieve and put them back into the quiver. He then looked at the leather shop and saw that Su Lun was staring at him. Rody waved his hand and mouthed, "That's right.
"Close the window."
Suren slammed the window shut. He gasped for air as if he had collapsed. He then slowly sat down on the ground.
"Roddy … Who the hell is this guy …"
Suren felt like he just had a nightmare when he heard the shouts outside the window.
*****
On the other side, Roddy had already used the combination of "Sprint" and "Leap" to run three streets away in less than ten seconds.
