When he saw Darang return alone, Watch knew that he couldn't borrow anyone. Even though he knew this, he still couldn't help but ask, "Not bad?"
Darang shook his head and said coldly, "Isn't this the face of a noble? All of them are selfish and afraid of death. But if we can't stop the bandits, what will happen to him? "
"You can't blame them. Protecting the caravan is our job. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so tricky this time. " Watch gritted his teeth and said, "Darang, if anything happens, I want you and Hunter to take Ferlyn and leave first."
"But leader, that Thousand Birds …"
Watch smiled bitterly, "Qianniao is gone. As long as you young people are still alive, it's fine. Remember, there's only hope if you survive. "
A hint of warmth flashed in Darang's eyes.
The neighing of a horse drew nearer.
In the darkness, they saw a fire dragon wriggling its way over, the sound of its hooves was like rolling thunder, striking at everyone's heart. The young mercenaries' palms were sweating, and the veterans' breathing was slightly hurried. The other party galloped on his horse, unlike other bandits who yelled and shouted. Only the neighing of the horses could be heard, but there was no human voice. Instead, there was an indescribable sense of oppression.
Walker supported Luo Yan and said to the cavalry that was rushing over, "I am Walker from the Thousand Bird Mercenary Group. I wonder what everyone's name is!"
This was called being polite before resorting to force. Usually, when they bumped into a bandit group, they would not immediately draw their swords against them. To a mercenary group, it would be best if they didn't have to fight. The bandits were not stupid. If they saw that the guards were too difficult to deal with, they would not easily provoke them. This gave the two sides a basis for negotiation. Usually, the mercenary group would take out a bit of money for their hard work, and the bandits would let go. After all, who would do a business that was clearly not profitable?
However, this time, Walker's voice was still echoing in the wilderness. The other party's warhorse suddenly saw flames, and a ball of snow suddenly exploded ten meters in front of Walker's horse. Then, the sound of guns rang out. When he heard the gunshots, Watch knew that there was no hope of negotiation. However, this was the first time Walker had seen such a bandit who didn't even want to say a few words and immediately started fighting as soon as he came up. He couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "How ruthless." Then he roared, "Dismount and fight back."
Qianniao did not have many cavalry, so it was definitely impossible to fight on horseback. On the contrary, because the warhorse was an obvious target, the opponent's gunner would take advantage of it. He simply turned over and dismounted from his horse. Someone pulled the warhorse back, and the mercenaries of Thousand Birds had already begun to shoot at the other party through the air.
The sound of gunfire was endless.
"They started the fight without any warning. It's obvious that they want to kill people and then cross the border." Allen gazed into the distance at the front of the camp and looked at the stars in the darkness. "How long do you think Qianniao can stop them?"
This question was naturally directed at Belmond.
Belmore said frankly, "Qianniao and the other party have roughly the same number of people. According to my observations over the past two days, Guild Leader Walker has the strength of Level 18. However, firstly, he was already quite old, and secondly, the aura of lethargy on his body was too heavy. It was likely that he had not fought for a long time. Usually, it would be fine if they were just sparring, but now, they were fighting with their lives on the line. "The opponent doesn't need to be at a higher level than Walker. As long as there's a Level 15 or Level 16 expert, it's enough to kill this Guild Leader."
"Walker originally had a deputy guild leader in his hands. I heard that he had not recovered from his illness for a long time, so he only had a nominal title in the mercenary corps. Therefore, apart from Watch, Qianniao could only take out Darang. With his strength at Level 15, he could be considered young and promising. I think the knuckles of his left hand are slightly thicker than his right hand. There must be something unexpected about this fellow's double spear technique and his left spear technique. However, this kind of strange and cunning path couldn't be said to have reached the next level. "Just like us assassins, sneaking attacks from behind can't be considered true abilities. A true top-notch assassin can charge head-on and kill people invisibly. That's an expert."
Belmore paused for a moment and smiled, "A person like Darang can only be considered smart." Moreover, he was too eager for success, but he didn't know that the Thousand Miles of Martial Dao needed to be filled with footprints one by one. This kind of person deviates from the right path. If he encounters Young Master's Wanxiang Ashes supreme hegemon realm, he will only be crushed to the point that not even ashes remain. "
Allen smiled and said, "Your flattery skills are almost catching up to your assassination skills." "Apart from Walker and Darang, Qianniao won't be able to bring out anyone else who can be on the stage," he said seriously. If Watch was regarded as a high-end combat strength, Darang would be the backbone, and the rest of the mercenaries would be low-level cannon fodder. But even cannon fodder, Qianniao couldn't compare to him. After all, it's a well-trained army over there. "
Belmond's comments caused Ante's eyes to widen. He thought to himself that the two of them hadn't done anything since they joined the caravan, but they understood Qianniao so thoroughly. I really don't know how they did it.
Outside the camp, as the two sides shot at each other, a light cavalry of the enemy came walking over on the snow. This cavalry was arranged in the shape of an arrow, a formation that was conducive to penetrating the defensive line. It was true that Watch hadn't fought anyone in years, but his eyesight was still there. Seeing this arrow formation, he felt a headache and could only make a gesture. Qianniao's spear squad, which specialized in dealing with cavalry, formed a four-row square formation of five people. Watch relied on a thick formation to withstand the opponent's penetrating impact.
Unexpectedly, just as the spear formation was set up, the enemy cavalry in front of them suddenly dispersed. Like a peacock opening its tail, it changed from an arrow shape to a line shape. The change in formation was fast and accurate, causing Watch's heart to sink. After the enemy cavalry lined up in a straight line, they split up in the middle like a tide. Another group of cavalry rushed over from behind. The number of cavalry was roughly the same as the spear soldiers, but these cavalry were all heavily armored spears. Even the warhorse beneath him was wearing thick armor, causing Watch to almost vomit blood.
Heavy cavalry!
If the defensive phalanx formed by the spear soldiers could withstand the penetrating impact of the light cavalry, then the heavy cavalry was simply a type of soldier set up for the spear soldiers. The rigorously trained heavy cavalry could withstand the first wave of attacks and then kill the spear soldiers like harvesting straw. So far, dealing with heavy cavalry was nothing more than using powerful artillery to bombard them from afar, or using similar types of troops to deal with them. Apart from that, there was no better way.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that every heavy cavalry was built with a pile of shiny gold coins. Watch had never heard of a bandit group that had so much money to build a heavy cavalry. With that money, he probably didn't need to be a bandit, right?
Thinking about it, the heavy cavalry had already rolled over like a wave of steel. Qianniao's spearmen panicked, and everyone kept retreating. No matter how loudly Watch shouted, he was unable to stop the morale of the mercenaries from collapsing in front of the heavy cavalry horses that were like death gods.
A moment later, the torrent of steel and the spear phalanx met. Under this tough impact, the spears broke, and the mercenaries shouted and bounced away. The heavy cavalry followed, the spears in their hands stabbing forward, and they would definitely pierce through the body of a mercenary. Only two of the heavy Knight Heavy Cavalry were knocked off their horses, but the strength of their horses' footsteps wasn't much inferior to their horses' footsteps.
Seeing that the spear squad had been killed and wounded, Walker's eyes immediately turned scarlet red. He pulled out Luo Yan and rushed over. Darang brought Hunter and the other young mercenaries along. After losing the advantage of the horse sprint, the Heavy Knight Heavy Cavalry simply dismounted. He threw his spear and drew his sword, lining up. When Watch and the other mercenaries arrived, everyone silently brandished their swords. More than twenty heavy swords swung down at the same time, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air caused one's scalp to explode.
The light cavalry that had previously spread out bypassed the defensive line of the Thousand Bird Mercenaries and attacked the camp of the caravan instead.
The camp immediately erupted with cries and shouts.
Ante subconsciously retreated, suddenly feeling that the three of them were too eye-catching on this dwarf rock.
Allen winked at Belmore, who smiled and nodded. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the chaotic crowd of people in the camp. Allen gently patted Gojoseon's scabbard and said, "If you don't want to die, stay by my side. If you run too far, I don't have time to take care of you."
Ante glared at him in shock and anger, his expression complicated.
The light cavalry began to attack, and the warriors on the horses were expressionless. They gently raised the fire in their hands. Guns, ready to kill everyone in the camp. Shadows flickered in the camp, and the light was chaotic. In this environment, they didn't know that snake-like black threads were gently wrapped around their necks in the darkness.
Belmore, who was standing on an old tree, murmured, "… Nineteen, twenty. All right. "
He smiled and raised his hands.
In the next moment, the charging cavalry suddenly had their heads fly into the sky and roll onto the silver-white snow. As for the headless corpses, they still rushed into the camp with the warhorses before falling to the ground one after another, naturally causing waves of exclamations.
Allen curled his lips and turned to Ante, "This fellow's assassination skills are becoming more and more mature. Even I can't see how he did it."
Ante looked at the headless corpses and his lips turned green.
Allen flicked his head and said, "If you're afraid, hide back in the tent. I won't laugh at you."
"Who said I was afraid!" The boy said stubbornly.
Allen laughed, "If you're not afraid, follow me." He pointed to the battlefield in front of the camp and said, "If we don't go, our caravan will have no guards."
Ante said, "Didn't you tell Darang that it's none of your business?"
"It's none of my business, but are you happy to see Ferlyn cry? Besides, I still have to rely on Qianniao to do something. I can't let them die before they even enter Mountain City, can I? "As he spoke, Allen had already walked out of the camp with his saber in his arms.
Ante actually didn't want to follow, but he didn't want Allen to look down on him. In the end, the boy gritted his teeth and walked behind Allen. He originally thought that Allen would draw his saber and kill the enemy when he left the camp, but he didn't expect that as soon as he approached the battlefield, he would suddenly shout, "Don't kill me, I'm a noble! Noble! "
After that, his hands and feet trembled. Those who didn't know him really thought that he was a cowardly noble who had been frightened, causing Ante to almost want to kick him. He thought to himself that it would be a waste of talent if you didn't become an actor!
