When he saw the sparkling red on the blade of the heavy saber, Hank knew that his opponent was about to counterattack. However, when Qianjun bounced up and drew a crimson trajectory in the night, Hank was shocked to realize how fast his opponent's counterattack was. It was so fast that he wasn't even prepared. The blade of the heavy saber was already expanding in his eyes.
Hank let out a beast-like roar and used the bottom of the box itself. He pushed all of his Origin Energy into the two sickles, and the sickles revealed themselves? Mu? Mu? Mu? Huai Qiangua
Dang!
With a loud sound, the Origin Energy flames on Hank's sickles were immediately shattered, and the sickle's body distorted. He was shocked, but he saw the heavy saber float up, and the blade streaked across a dark red as it fiercely raised from below.
Hank could no longer hold onto the two sickles, and the sickles spun out of his hands. He cursed and turned to run. With such an opponent, how could he still have the heart and fighting spirit to fight?
The wind suddenly blew in his ears, and Hank instinctively surged with Origin Energy, forming a layer of Origin Energy shield on the surface of his body. However, as soon as the shield formed, Hank's entire body trembled violently. His ears were filled with the sound of the shield shattering and Origin Energy surging. He suddenly saw a dark blade emerge from his chest. The red light on the blade was as dense as blood.
In the next moment, Hank knew that it was really blood, and it was hot blood that had been brought out of his body by the knife. Qianjun's blade was rough, and it pierced through his chest. Don't expect the wound to be as smooth as a mirror. Hank's chest was pierced by the rough blade, leaving an irregular wound. Fresh blood flowed out along the blade. The bald man felt his strength dissipate with the flow of blood. He took two more steps forward, and finally, his body softened and he fell to the ground dead.
Allen pulled out the heavy saber from the corpse. Hank's strength was too weak, and he didn't even have the qualifications to warm up for him.
Once Hank died, the bandits lost their fighting spirit. After killing a few more people for the King Of Mountains troops and William and the others, the remaining bandits saw that the situation was not right and fled into the wilderness one after another. At the end of the battle, the bandits left behind twenty to thirty corpses, and the rest fled back to the wilderness. After searching their bodies for a while, Allen found a bag of gold coins, a dozen guns, some ammunition, and ten horses.
These things added together could be considered a small fortune. Especially those ten warhorses, their value far exceeded the other gains.
On Allen's side, the core members of the King Of Mountains's forces were unscathed, while the warriors of the King Of Mountains' forces suffered some light injuries. After this battle, Tima and the other Baymonds finally knew the benefits of armor. Those bandits who didn't have Origin Energy couldn't break through steel light armor with their swords. Otherwise, Tima and the others wouldn't have just suffered some superficial injuries.
This was the King Of Mountains's first battle, even though his opponents were bandits without any strategy. However, in battle, the King Of Mountains displayed the results of their training and gained valuable combat experience. These people all had their own gains, especially Tima. This young Baymond man looked excited, as if he couldn't wait for more bandits to come for him to practice.
At dawn the next day, the caravan pulled out their camp and left. As for the corpses of the bandits, they were left behind. It wouldn't be long before the corpses would become food for the wild beasts and fertilizer for this wasteland.
As the sun was about to sink into the western horizon, a few cloaked men disappeared from Matto's sight after paying the customs duty to enter the city. Matto frowned. Those people were adventurers. Ever since Baron York had offered a bounty to adventurers in order to obtain the so-called treasures of the Ash Mountain Range, Sur City had been visited by adventurers. It had been two or three months since he had seen an adventurer.
However, recently, their numbers had increased again, and they had poured into Sur City every three or five days for unknown reasons. Although most of the adventurers who entered the city behaved peacefully, Matto doubted whether the number of city guards would be able to suppress these fellows who were running around. Once they caused trouble, the city guards would probably not be put in their eyes.
Most adventurers were restless fellows, otherwise they wouldn't have engaged in such a special industry. Just because they were safe now didn't mean they would always be safe. Matto decided to make a trip to the City Lord's Mansion so that he could borrow Allen's team equipped with a Flame Fighting Rifle. Only with that powerful team in charge would Matto feel more at ease.
After handing over some matters to the adjutant, Matto didn't go home to eat and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. As they passed by the bar, two men wrestled and rushed out of the door, followed by a few adventurers. Not only did he not try to mediate, he even followed suit. Only when they saw Matto's uniform did they restrain themselves a little. The two people who were fighting also ended up hastily and left the bar.
Matto shook his head. There would only be more and more things like this.
When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Edward was still working in his office. Baron York's treasury was almost completely used up by him. All the valuable collections were sold, and the money was used for the construction of the city's defenses and the renovation of the city's supporting facilities. Right now, Sur City could be seen everywhere with hands and feet. All the men with some strength were requisitioned as workers, but no one objected.
After all, the ultimate beneficiaries of these facilities were the people of the city. Compared to Ethan's previous method of going through the motions, Edward, who had opened the City Lord's treasury, had won more respect. Humans are strange creatures. They can be good at remembering, but they can also be good at forgetting. After Edward's policy of benefiting the people, not many people remembered that the young City Lord had come from a foreign land. Along with him, he also forgot about the people related to him. For example, Allen, they were not from Sur City at all.
Feelings always blur cognition.
Matto was a little moved to see Edward still working at dinner time. The previous two City Lords would never miss the time to eat and rest, especially Baron York. He cared more about whether his treasury was full than which city's facilities needed to be modified or upgraded.
"Matto?" Edward raised his head and was surprised to see the captain of the city guards. "What, are you here to have dinner with me?"
"Excuse me, my lord." Matto lowered his head and said.
"Come in. What made you come to see me at this time?" Edward signed his name on a document, put down the quill dipped in ink, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him calmly.
Matto went straight to the point and said, "It's the adventurers, my lord. They seem to have appeared a little more recently. I always feel that something is going to happen. "
"Adventurer?" Edward had heard a little about this person, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
The world was vast, and many places were deserted. Those deep mountains, old forests, or the abyss were not places that ordinary people could reach. There might be treasures that could not be squandered for a lifetime, or there might be some powerful and dangerous giant beast that was sleeping there. Everything was unknown, and adventurers were people who specialized in exploring these unknown answers. They went everywhere.
Some people became rich overnight, but even more people died in silence, their bones buried in some unknown valley or some dangerous cave.
However, Sur City was not a good place to explore, and it did not have enough wealth to attract the attention of adventurers. Suddenly, a large number of adventurers poured into the city. This was an unusual signal in itself, and it was no wonder that Matto was worried. Edward nodded and said, "Are you worried that the city guards are not strong enough?"
"Yes, my lord. Whether it's the Knight or the Magician, those fellows are on average level seven or eight. My subordinates don't have that many experts to deal with these people. "Matto said truthfully.
"I understand. I will transfer the Blazing Battle Soldiers to your place tonight. For the time being, I'll leave them to you. "
Matto said happily, "Thank you for your trust, my lord."
Edward smiled and said, "Then, do you know what's going on? About those adventurers? "
"This" Matto smiled bitterly and said, "They seem to have some sort of purpose, but I don't know what it is. Do you need me to inquire? "
"There's no need for that. When it comes to intelligence, I have a more suitable candidate." Edward stood up and said, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
"No, my wife and children are waiting for me at home." Matto said.
"Then I won't keep you."
After sending Matto away, Edward called a soldier over. These Bescot guards were left behind by Allen to help the city guards strengthen their defenses when needed. Edward told him to gather the other soldiers and report to the city guards' barracks tonight.
After the soldier accepted the order, Edward sent someone to invite Belmore.
After a simple dinner, Belmore came to the office. Edward said directly, "I need you to find out some information for me."
Belmore smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, it was Young Master Allen who hired me, right?"
"You are right, but now, I suggest that we don't make too much of a fuss about it. Everything you and I have done is for our Guild Leader. "Edward looked the man in the eyes and said.
Belmore looked at him for a moment and shrugged, "That's true. Well, I've been bored to death these past few days anyway, so it's good to find something to do. Then, what information do you want? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to a noble lady? "
"I'm not that bored. It's those adventurers." Edward said, "There are too many of them. They seem to be here for the same purpose. I want to know what they are going to do."
"Sounds interesting, then I'm leaving. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Belmore walked out of the Lord's Mansion and felt something. He turned around and raised his head. Edward was looking at him through the window of the office. The young Maritan nodded and disappeared behind the window. Belmore narrowed his eyes and said softly, "I feel like there are a lot of secrets hidden, this fellow."
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's none of my business." Then, he put his hands in his pockets and gradually merged into the night of the street.
