Morphest chopped off the tentacles that were trying to wrap around him and turned his bird head around, planning to take a roundabout route to leave this area full of octopus legs, and then charge again after putting some distance between them.
He was the leader of this mountain bandits operation.
That afternoon, Bearded Scum and the others who had been sweeping the area around the base never returned, and then their souls were found in the soul lanterns that all the mountain bandits had signed a contract with, meaning that they were already dead.
The leader of the mountain bandits was furious that there were still people in this area who dared to challenge their authority. That was why he sent them out to attack as quickly as possible, with the goal of completely destroying the village, leaving no one alive!
But now, it seemed like there was a problem …
"What the hell are these things!"
A mage beside Morphest cursed as he looked at the wriggling tentacles.
"Do you not recognize this magic?" Morphest asked respectfully.
Even though he was the commander of this attack, Morphest knew that these mages held a much higher position in his boss's heart than he did. If he dared to put on airs in front of these mages, who knew if his boss would 'borrow his head' to appease them when they got back?
"This isn't magic, it's not even divine arts … It's more like a sacrificial technique of the Murlocs, but most people on land don't worship the Sea God … Could it be that the necromancers in the Black Tower have developed some kind of undead magic?" The mage was starting to doubt his life.
Looks like he wouldn't be able to get any more help in the near future.
Morphest sighed to himself, at the same time he couldn't help but be thankful that the youth using this magic didn't seem to have a good grasp of it yet. Although these spells were very strange, they weren't very powerful.
As long as the chocobos' charge speed was up, these octopus legs wouldn't be able to reach them!
Even so, while they were in a state of confusion, the other sword-wielding youth had already charged into the octopus leg area, easily finishing off those who didn't manage to break free in time.
He didn't expect to lose a tenth of his men in just one charge, Morphest knew that he couldn't underestimate these two youths.
So he cracked his whip, creating a rhythmic explosion. According to the signal that the mountain bandits had arranged beforehand, the remaining knights immediately split into two groups, intending to pincer the two youths.
More than forty adult bandits fighting two short, skinny kids who looked twelve or thirteen years old so seriously, it sounded like a joke.
But Morphest knew that there were some people in this world that couldn't be judged by common sense … Before he became a bandit, he had encountered these monsters in the Holy City of Instan.
So after realizing that these two weren't normal people, Morphest wouldn't judge them by their appearance. He had to use all his strength to finish them off.
So after realizing that they weren't normal people, Morphest decided to go.
The two youths were very strong, to the point where Morphest felt that the Holy City's guards might not even be a match for them in a one-on-one fight. However, when faced with the Charge of the Two-Faced Knights, the guards began to panic, and the bandits took advantage of this opening to slash at them a few times!
Apart from the octopus legs, it seemed that the number of summoned creatures that could exist in this place at the same time was limited. After figuring this out, it would be much easier to deal with him.
"Don't kill them, I want to capture them and turn them into human puppets for research!" The leader of the mages ordered.
Morphest, who had originally decided to kill them, could only hold back and let the knights wear them down. He would also create more non-lethal wounds if he had the chance, causing them to lose a lot of blood and lose the ability to fight back.
But what he couldn't understand was that even though they had already been stabbed multiple times and were bleeding profusely, they looked like they could die at any moment. Yet the two youths didn't show any signs of fainting or weakness in their limbs, they were still as lively as ever … In fact, other than the initial bleeding profusely from their wounds, they were in a strange state where they looked like they were drawn on.
This meant that Morphest couldn't spare any manpower to capture the villagers who had been causing trouble for them all this time! Once they lost manpower, they might even be killed by these two youths!
Maybe he should try persuading them to surrender?
Just as Morphesto was thinking about this, the bloodied youth suddenly ignored the two stabs he had received and rushed towards the leader of the Magi. He waved the cross in his hand and shouted, "Air Slash!"
The leader of the mages didn't even have time to react before the chocobo he was riding was sent flying by the cross at an impossible angle. Naturally, the leader of the mages fell off the chocobo because of this.
In the next instant, the swordsman who had been blocking the knights' attacks suddenly leapt up and stabbed the leader of the mages in the head!
"F * ck, there's a mistake, this guy who's been talking all this time isn't the leader!" After the two of them finished off the leader of the mages, the crucifix youth looked at the mountain bandits around him who hadn't lost their morale and said in frustration, "The Boss is someone else!"
They actually wanted to kill the leader in one go and turn the tide of the battle by destroying the morale of the others? No, how did they communicate and come up with this strategy before this? If they didn't communicate, how could they work together so seamlessly?
Morphest felt a little panicky.
No, even if he had to turn on the other mages, these two dangerous people couldn't be left alive, they had to be killed as soon as possible!
So he waved his whip again and gave the order.
But this time, he seemed to have been noticed — the crucifix youth's eyes were glowing as he looked at him, like a wolf that had spotted its prey!
Morphest immediately comforted himself, "It's okay, they're so heavily injured, they won't be able to hold on much longer. Besides, we have the numbers, forty chocobos in the face, how are we going to lose!"
"Attack! Don't let them escape! " Since they'd already been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore, Morphest shouted to boost morale, "We have the numbers, they only have two!"
The next moment, there was a loud explosion.
At first, Morphest thought it was the mages on his side who had made a move, but then he realized something was wrong. Why did the sound come from behind him?
He turned his head, and then his whole body stiffened.
He didn't know when, but a few common merchant carriages had appeared in the forest behind them, but the carriages were filled with people, a rough count would put them at least fifty to sixty people.
In order to make it easier for the carriages to move, these people had used all sorts of abilities to destroy all obstacles in front of them, forcefully carving out a straight path through the forest …
