Hearing Rock's words, Cat Head secretly cursed him for being cunning.
This guy was clearly trying to fish in troubled waters, pushing his own people out to see if he could get some benefits.
This seemingly boorish Striker had a meticulous mind.
Anna looked coldly at the farce of this group of mercenaries. The only comforting thing was that after Gru, the captain of Thorns, expressed his stance, the people of Thorns stood far away, meaning that they had no objections to the contract.
But they didn't leave either. Instead, they stood there, seemingly wanting to watch the show.
After all, the Double-blade Mask was a name that had recently risen. Everyone was curious about his true strength.
Cat Head was helpless. If he retreated now, then he would definitely mess up the matter that Sir had ordered.
The penalty for breach of contract was a large sum of money. Although the compensation that Sir had given him was enough, he would also lose the credibility of his team. This was not worth it.
In his plan, if he could smoothly destroy their plan to recover the White River Valley, that would naturally be the best.
If it really didn't work out, they could only go with the flow. After all, they were adventurers, not subordinates of that Sir.
"Grimm?" The cat head asked.
It was a silent man with brown hair. When he heard the leader's call, he immediately stood up.
He wore good leather armor, but unlike Ma Wen, he used a long blade.
This long blade was a bit similar to a Japanese samurai sword, but it was wider and thicker. This meant that when attacking, especially against large monsters, it could produce a more powerful slashing effect.
Green was a very ruthless swordsman. Countless monsters and even adventurers had died in his hands. Most of them had died very miserably.
Cut in half.
"[Wandering Warrior]?"
Ma Wen narrowed his eyes and saw through Green's method. Only Wandering Warriors of the Second Order would wield such a long blade.
This guy, of course, was not a grade 2, but it seemed that he was consciously developing in this direction.
Wandering Warriors were very agile, but their strength was also quite strong. Their blade was unparalleled and could directly split a person in half.
In his previous life, this kind of fast and fierce fighting style was very popular among players.
But … Ma Wen just happened to know a way to counter this profession!
…
"Miss Anna, although you said that we don't need to deal with the Spellcaster, we still need to test the strength of this Dual-blade Mask."
"Let him fight with the fifth rank warriors of our squad. That way, we'll know what to do."
"I believe that Mr. Dual-blade Mask wouldn't mind, right?"
The Owl said darkly.
"If we win, you guys shut up." Anna's counterattack was even colder, with a hint of disgust. "Either pay the penalty and get lost, or come with us to chase away the gnolls."
"No problem!"
This time, the cat's reply was very straightforward. If the martial skills displayed by the Double Blade Mask could really convince him, he wouldn't mind changing his plan at the last minute.
Being able to hitch a ride to complete the mission wasn't bad either. As for that lord … as long as he told him that the Dual-blade Mask had appeared, wouldn't that be enough?
That small noble in the White River Valley was truly audacious. He actually dared to hire a wanted criminal to reclaim his lost land.
According to the intelligence of the Owl, it wasn't that simple. Many people were eyeing that territory.
Even if they successfully reclaimed the White River Valley this time, the small noble would probably have a lot of trouble in the future.
Thinking of this, the Owl's mood was a little better.
Who knew that at this time, the Dual-blade Mask suddenly said coldly, "I don't compete, I only kill."
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell to a freezing point!
This guy was too arrogant!
Grimm was even more furious. He rushed toward the counter where Ma Wen reclined and fiercely attacked.
Anna, Andre, and the others were suddenly shocked. They wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Anna's eyes were fixed on Ma Wen. She was not afraid that something would happen to him, but she was afraid that he would really kill Grimm.
That would be a big problem. With one less team, it would be very difficult to take down the White River Valley.
Ma Wen leaned on the counter, his eyes narrowed into a line.
His body had been motionless until Grimm rushed in front of him.
At that moment, he moved!
20 points of super long agility gave him super fast reflexes. As soon as Grimm rushed over, his eyes locked on Grimm's right shoulder.
This place would determine when the opponent would attack!
Grimm's right shoulder shook. This was a sign before he exerted force!
Ma Wen's body suddenly strangely leaned forward and almost instantly rushed in front of Grimm.
Everyone's heart was shocked.
This kind of reflexes and strange skills …
Without waiting for them to react, with a clang, Ma Wen made the first strike!
This strike was from the right hand. Although Grimm was also right-handed, his strength was definitely stronger than Ma Wen's.
In order to interrupt his attack, he had to use a stronger right hand to carry out the first step!
Although the Dual-blade Style gave Ma Wen's left and right hand similar skills, in terms of strength, there was still a slight gap.
This strike, Grimm did not have time to lift his long blade. Ma Wen chopped the back of the blade, slightly shaking it.
"Ah!" Grimm roared. His reaction was also very fast.
He directly changed the direction of the force. From below, he casually waved his hand, drew a small semicircle, and the blade went straight for Ma Wen's lower body!
Marvin sneered. 'I've seen too many of these tricks!'
The second strike!
Left hand.
A simple block, without much technical content. As long as he found the weakest point of the long blade, it would be fine!
This kind of skill was not a problem for Ma Wen.
Clang!
Grimm's attack was blocked again.
However, at this time, Ma Wen had already made his third strike!
The strength of the Dual-blade Style was that it could even be used at the same time.
Left hand to block, right hand to attack!
Under the illumination of the candlelight, the cold blade flashed with a cold light.
This strike, impressively, was aimed at Grimm's neck!
Although the latter was wearing leather armor, it was impossible for him to block this strike from Ma Wen!
The rest of the people looked on helplessly, almost suffocating.
Ma Wen's movements and reactions seemed to have completely seen through Grimm's moves.
Three strikes!
Just three strikes, and Grimm was forced to a dead end!
Cat Head's eyes widened, and her intestines turned green with regret!
If this strike really went down, Grimm's life …
"Stop!"
A hurried voice shouted out.
It was Anna.
In the next second, Ma Wen's strike suddenly slowed down, and just lightly rested on Grimm's shoulder.
Clang!
Grimm was sweating profusely. He could not hold the long blade in his hand, and it directly fell to the ground!
The crowd was in an uproar. Grimm was considered a good low-level Adventurer in River Beach City.
But when facing the Dual-blade Mask, he could not even take three strikes. And looking at his appearance, he had suffered a great shock.
As a Warrior, he could not even hold the blade.
If Miss Anna had not shouted in time to stop, I'm afraid …
No matter what, after this battle, the reputation of the Dual-blade Mask in River Beach City was estimated to be even higher.
And Grimm.
As a wandering warrior, his confidence was bound to suffer a very serious blow!
It would take a long time for him to recover. Even if he could fully recover in the end, it would be a problem.
…
Ma Wen secretly praised Anna in his heart. The word "stop" was just right.
Otherwise, in order to maintain the image of the Dual-blade Mask, Ma Wen would have had to attack Grimm.
But this was also a plan that the two had discussed before.
Ma Wen was responsible for deterrence, and Anna was responsible for mediation.
In this way, this group of troublemaking mercenaries would probably be much more well-behaved.
Soon, someone came over to help Grimm over. Anna noticed that the man was covered in cold sweat.
It could be seen how much pressure that strike had caused him.
On the side, the Rock Ghost King did not say anything. The Striker's face was full of solemnity.
Especially when he looked at Ma Wen, there was some fear in his eyes.
Strikers were already at a disadvantage when facing Snickersnee. If the two of them were to fight, the Rock Ghost King knew that it would be difficult to survive the Dual-blade Mask!
This was a guy with almost perfect sword skills.
Although some of his movements were a little strange and stiff, it was already very abnormal.
"Everyone, now we have no problems, right?"
Anna showed a trace of a smile.
The adventurers in the living room were silent.
Seeing that the situation was better, Old Cripple dared to bring up the food and coffee that had just been prepared.
Everyone began to eat, and the atmosphere eased a little.
After the meal, Anna did not let them stay in, but began to arrange the plan.
The first obstacle was the entrance to the White River Valley, where four Goblins were stationed, two of which were archers.
Of course, these were not a concern.
The trouble was the six mutant coyotes.
