When Han Shuo arrived at the fatty's side, he noticed that the strongest of the dozen or so mercenaries behind the fatty were two journeyman warriors, followed by six beginner warriors, and a few trainee warriors.
These people were all riddled with wounds, and the two strongest journeyman warriors had the most serious injuries. They'd almost lost all ability to fight by now.
"Mister Fabian, we're the ones who are protecting you!" The journeyman warrior, who had a bloody hole in his ribs and was still dripping with fresh blood, couldn't help but reveal an anxious expression when he saw Han Shuo swiftly approach. He spoke to the short, stocky fatty.
"The situation now is quite obvious. You've already lost all ability to fight and are unable to provide effective protection for me. I've already paid half of the gold coins to your mercenary band before, but because you haven't been able to safely escort me back to the Empire, I won't be paying the remaining half. " Fabian spoke with a face full of resignation, and then a genial smile hung on his face. He bowed to Han Shuo and said, "Brave warrior, please take me away from here. I'll pay you two hundred gold coins."
"Alright, give me a hundred gold coins first and I'll start immediately!" Han Shuo was unperturbed and also smiled as he spoke.
At this moment, the troll leader saw that Han Shuo didn't seem to have any intentions of leaving. He finally roared out in fury, "Crafty, evil human, kill them all!"
The troll warriors, hunters, and priests, who had been standing there blankly a moment ago, once again yelled out a few strange words in the Forest Troll's language as soon as the troll leader's words had sounded.
"Alright, here's a hundred gold coins. I'll give you another hundred gold coins when you take me away safely from here. Damnit, they're already charging over, you better hurry up and move! " Fabian hastily took out a money pouch and poured out a hundred gold coins, handing it to Han Shuo as he watched the Forest Troll charge over with a sinister expression and a weapon in his hand.
As soon as the hundred gold coins were in his hands, Han Shuo suddenly smiled and rushed towards Fabian. Before Fabian could react, Han Shuo had already carried him on his back and pulled out a few strips of gauze from an open pocket on the side, tightly wrapping them around Fabian's back without any explanation.
"Let's go. I'll bring you out of here safely. You must hold on tight to me. Don't blame me if you fall off on your own!" Han Shuo hurriedly ordered. He threw away the battle axe in his hand and grabbed a spear from the side. Then, he suddenly rushed towards the periphery.
Seven Troll Warriors had long since blocked the way. Behind them were some Troll Hunters and two Troll Priests. As soon as they saw Han Shuo rush over, their spears and javelins had already been thrown out, whistling towards Han Shuo.
Even with a fatty on his back, Han Shuo still seemed very relaxed as he maneuvered through the rugged path. Nimbly changing directions, Han Shuo easily dodged a few spears and javelins.
When Han Shuo had rushed to the side of the seven Troll Warriors, the Troll Warriors, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over with large strides, wielding their battle axes. Tightly gripping a spear in his hand, Han Shuo's body swiftly closed in, the spear stabbing towards the chest of the first Troll Warrior.
A flower of blood suddenly blossomed on his chest as the Troll Warrior's body trembled and fell backwards. At this moment, the Troll Priests in the back started chanting healing and Fire of the Soul magic. Several streaks of green light were cast onto the Troll Warriors.
The troll warrior that had fallen earlier stood up shakily. After the other troll warriors had been covered by the magic of the Fire of the Soul, their originally hard green skin seemed to have been coated with a layer of iron. It actually flashed with a kind of metallic luster. Then their speed and strength increased at the same time, and they rushed over with loud roars.
"Hurry, hurry up and get me out of here!" Fabian was pale with fright as he cried out frantically on Han Shuo's back.
The expression on his face didn't change as Han Shuo turned a deaf ear to Fabian's screams. The spear in his hand was suddenly thrown out, piercing the Troll Warrior that had shakily stood up through the neck and nailing him to the ground. He then pulled out the spears and javelins that had been stabbed into the ground and threw them one by one at the priests hiding in the back.
A troll priest couldn't dodge in time and was pierced to death on the spot by the javelins. Two other troll hunters were also pierced through the chest and died. At this moment, Han Shuo casually pulled out a spear and began to fend off the Troll Warriors that had already arrived in front of him.
The Fire of the Soul magic had been cast on the Troll Warriors, and all of their bodily functions had received an upgrade. However, Han Shuo's magical training had been somewhat successful, and the toughness and agility of his body still far exceeded theirs. As he danced with his spear, he flicked the battle axes into the air.
During this process, the Troll Warriors would also pull out the javelins and spears that had been stabbed into the ground after their battle axes had slipped and flown out of their hands, firmly blocking the way as they tangled with Han Shuo. With a fatty on his back, Han Shuo was fighting one against six. Even though he was able to dodge very quickly, he still couldn't completely deflect all of the damage.
Whenever danger approached, Han Shuo would very evilly use Fabian on his back as a shield, using Fabian's fat body to minimize the damage on his own body.
"Damnit, you can't do this. Otherwise, don't even think about getting the next hundred gold coins." Fabian's butt had been pierced by a spear, and a few bloody wounds had also appeared on his back from the javelins. He continuously cried out in panic on Han Shuo's back.
It was a pity that Han Shuo had already completely ignored Fabian's complaints. He pulled out the spear that had been stabbed into the chest of a troll warrior, and fresh blood suddenly sprayed out, spraying all over Han Shuo's body. Han Shuo's expression was already sinister and severe to begin with, and he looked even more like the reincarnation of the Grim Reaper after being sprayed with fresh blood. Fabian, on the other hand, immediately froze in shock and didn't dare say anything else. He only sobbed on Han Shuo's back.
"Kill him, kill him! Let's go together!" When the troll leader saw that Han Shuo had killed quite a few Forest Troll in a row, he suddenly roared in rage. Even he himself raised a battle axe and rushed over from behind.
Now, Han Shuo was fighting one against five. Although it didn't seem particularly strenuous for him, it was still very difficult for him to charge out of the encirclement of the five. When the troll leader's words fell and more troll warriors rushed over, Han Shuo dodged the attack of a battle axe and took a few steps back.
"Fallen warriors of the dead, heed the dark herald's call and reveal your existence!" Han Shuo suddenly chanted the undead summoning incantation as he spread his hands.
"Oh, my gosh, you're actually a mage as well!" Fabian, who had been sobbing softly, was instantly dumbfounded when he saw that Han Shuo had actually chanted a magical incantation. He looked at Han Shuo with a confused expression, and let out a strange cry.
The troll leader in the distance was also shocked, and then rushed over even faster, roaring loudly, "Kill him, hurry and kill him!"
The Little Skull wielding the bone dagger suddenly appeared in front of Han Shuo. Its thin and small body stood there all by itself, and its empty eyes scanned the surroundings blankly.
"No way, why is it just a Little Skull, and such a skinny one at that. What's the use of this?" Fabian couldn't help but cry out in alarm when he saw that Han Shuo had only summoned a skeleton.
"Wahaha, so it's just a skeleton. That gave me a fright, kill them!" When the troll leader realized that it was just a Little Skull after his initial shock, he immediately started jeering and ordering the Forest Troll warriors to quickly approach.
Han Shuo's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth also curved into a mocking smile. He immediately gave the Little Skull the order to attack as soon as the troll leader's words fell.
When the Little Skull received Han Shuo's order to attack, its calf bones bent and straightened, and it suddenly shot out like a sharp sword. The bone dagger in its hand drew a dark streak of light through the air, flying out first. With a puchi, the troll warrior that had rushed over first was directly pierced through the forehead by the bone dagger like a piece of paper, and fell backwards stiffly.
The Little Skull didn't stop after it pierced through the skull of a troll warrior. It whistled through the air under the control of the Little Skull, as if it were a ghost seeking death. It made an ear-splitting howl as it moved in a mysterious and unpredictable arc, piercing through two troll warriors in a row. When the Little Skull neared these troll warriors, it automatically returned to the Little Skull's hand.
The moment the bone dagger left his hand, three troll warriors had lost their lives in the blink of an eye. After the Little Skull's attack, the extremely disappointed Fabian and the loudly mocking troll leader were both dumbfounded. They stared closely at the Little Skull, who was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, in disbelief. The Little Skull grasped the bone dagger in his hand and nimbly began to reap the lives of the troll warriors.
"Oh my gosh, am I seeing things? Is this really just a skeletal warrior?" Fabian finally reacted and screamed in excitement. If it wasn't for the gauze wrapping around him, he might have fallen to the ground from the excitement.
"Don't go near him. Everyone, stay away from that skeleton. Use spears, javelins, and battle axes to kill that Little Skull." After the shock, the troll leader commanded loudly with a face full of fear. His originally approaching body stopped abruptly and he began to retreat timidly.
The troll warriors that were still close to the Little Skull all retreated. As soon as they left, the sky full of spears, javelins, and battle axes of the troll warriors flew out at the same time, smashing and stabbing towards the Little Skull.
Han Shuo was startled and thought that no matter how strong the Little Skull was, he would probably be hit by such a fierce barrage of attacks. It would be too late even if he chanted the incantation to withdraw the dagger now. Han Shuo was secretly anxious and began to truly worry for the Little Skull.
However, the Little Skull's unimaginably flashy performance completely overturned Han Shuo's knowledge and understanding of him.
