Everyone was dumbfounded. They all stared at the middle-aged man in ragged clothes who was jumping up and down on the left side of the empty space in the valley.
"Isn't that Master Xiluba?" Adams, the leader of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, muttered …
Alright, the middle-aged man jumping up and down on the slope was Master Xiluba, who was known as a genius architect. But wasn't he imprisoned? Why did he appear on the slope now, especially when the Flying Feather Mercenary Group and the transport team were about to fall into the trap? Wasn't Master Xiluba causing trouble for Laurist by shouting like this?
Master Xiluba was still shouting, "They're enemies! They're from the Norton Family! Why aren't you guys attacking! Hurry up and destroy him … Ugh … "
Ovis, who was wearing chain mail, appeared behind him. He held his sword in a backhand grip and hit the back of Master Xiloba's head with the hilt. Master Xiloba fell to the ground like a madman. Finally, there was silence …
"Hehe, hehe." Laurist laughed dryly. "That, that Master Xiluba is acting up again. He won't feel well if he doesn't shout like this every day …"
Adams stared at Laurist like a hawk. "Is that so? But I don't think he's sick. Can you explain who that person in metal armor is? I don't think a mercenary can afford to wear metal armor … Capture him. "
Captain Adams was talking to his two followers when he said, "Catch him."
What the hell was there to explain? Laurist took two steps back and pulled out his sword. Since he was exposed, he might as well start an ambush. After all, most of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group's people were in the tent area. They wouldn't be able to escape even if they had wings. As for the twenty to thirty Flying Feather Mercenaries who were still outside the city, Laurist believed that with Josk on the city wall, they wouldn't be able to escape. Furthermore, the carriages transporting supplies were still continuously entering the valley through the city gates. The carriages outside the city had no idea that something had happened inside.
Right now, the empty space on the left side of the valley was the tent area. The members of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group had all dismounted and were eating and drinking inside. Some of the mercenaries had even taken off their clothes and entered their tents to rest. Other than Commander Adams and his two subordinates, there were only seven or eight Flying Feather Mercenary Group members who had just entered the valley with the carriages. Since there was no one on guard, Laurist wasn't worried about any accidents. After all, they were all food on the plate.
As for Leader Adams and his two followers, hehe, Loriste believed that they wouldn't last more than ten rounds against him. This was considering that Leader Adams' two followers were Shield Bearers who wielded a sword and a shield in one hand. It would be a little troublesome to deal with.
The empty space on the right side of the valley was filled with the carriages that had just arrived to deliver supplies. The coachmen arranged the carriages into neat rows according to the types of supplies, then untied the two pack horses and led them to the manger at the back to feed and drink the horses. Laurist knew that these coachmen were also slaves of the Kenneth Family. However, they were professionally trained coachmen responsible for the cargo of the Kenneth Family's merchant group.
Apart from these coachmen. Each carriage carried two to three slave laborers. The Kenneth Family had arranged this so that the thousand slave laborers could follow the caravan to the construction site. On the other hand, they could prevent accidents from happening to the carriages transporting supplies. That way, there would be people to help. After all, each carriage only had one coachman. If something happened to the carriage, a single coachman would be helpless against the full load of supplies. With a few slave laborers accompanying the carriages, they could unload or transport the supplies.
Now that the coachmen had led the horses to the back, the slave laborers were gathered in small groups under the arrangement of a few leaders. They sat quietly on the ground and waited. They would only be given food and drink after everyone had gathered. Some of the slave laborers obtained permission from the leaders to take a few water bags to the manger at the back. There was a well there. They wanted to fill their water bags and bring them back to share with the other slave laborers.
Laurist did not care about these coachmen and slave laborers, even though there were many of them. Although they were many, they didn't have any weapons. Moreover, Laurist didn't think that they would work for the Kenneth Family who enslaved them. Like the previous batch of slave laborers, they didn't feel anything about the Kenneth Family being replaced by the Norton Family. It didn't matter to them that the master had changed. They worked and rested as usual.
Laurist pulled out his sword and raised his left hand into the air. He clenched his fist tightly. This was the signal to start the ambush.
A few guards on the city wall who had been watching Laurist raised the long horns in their hands. The sound of horns rang out in the valley.
More than two hundred guards in double armor and guards in chain armor appeared in the empty space in the valley, surrounding the tent area. Ten ballistae also appeared on the left side of the hill. Together with the twelve ballistae on the city wall, they formed an intersecting firing path towards the tents.
Just as Laurist thought, the coachmen and slave laborers on the right side became restless for a moment before calming down. The horse feeders continued feeding the horses, but they kept turning their heads to look in this direction. The slave laborers in the formation sat on the ground with their eyes wide open in excitement. It was as if they were watching a real-life drama. They would occasionally shout, as if they were looking forward to the battle that was about to happen.
"Surrender. Don't resist pointlessly. Put down your weapons, and we will treat you well. "Laurist looked at the two Shield Bearers approaching.
"Who are you?" Commander Adams asked.
Laurist moved his feet to avoid being hit by the two Shield Bearers. "I am Baron Norton, the head of the Norton Family. If you surrender, I will guarantee the safety of your personal and private property in the name of the Lord … "
"Haha … Baron Norton, rather than saying that we have fallen into your trap, haven't you also fallen into our hands? I really don't understand how you dare appear in front of us alone. I really don't know if you are brave or stupid. Go! Capture him, and we can turn the situation around … "Commander Adams was overjoyed.
You wish to capture me? You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Laurist dodged the Shield Bearer's attack on the left. His figure flashed, and he appeared on the right side of the Shield Bearer like a ghost. His longsword stabbed towards the Shield Bearer's right ribs like a snake …
That's it, Laurist thought. After dealing with this Shield Bearer, the remaining two were just meat on the chopping board. He could do whatever he wanted with them.
"Ding!" A longsword suddenly appeared on the right ribs of the Shield Bearer on the left, blocking Laurist's sword. This was the Shield Bearer on the right, and he did not know how he had appeared in front of Laurist. Immediately, the longswords of the two Shield Bearers lit up with golden sword rays.
F * ck! These were two Gold Rank Shield Bearers! Laurist was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of Flying Feather Mercenary Group having Gold Rank Battle Energy experts. Moreover, they were two Shield Bearers. He was going to be busy now.
However, Laurist did not really care. So what if they were Gold Rank? He had already killed a few Gold Rank Battle Energy experts. Although they were Shield Bearers, they only had a stronger defense. At most, he would just have to spend a little more time, and he would still be able to take care of them.
However, Laurist only realized that he was in trouble after fighting with them. These two Shield Bearers were actually very well coordinated. One attacked, and the other defended. Although their attacks were not a threat to Laurist, their defense was watertight. No matter how Laurist attacked, he would always be blocked. For a moment, Laurist and these two Gold Rank Shield Bearers were entangled together. It was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
When the horn on the city wall sounded, the entrance to the city was in a mess.
The twenty to thirty Flying Feather Mercenary Group mercenaries outside the city felt that something was wrong. They urged their horses to rush in, but they were blocked by the freight carriages in the city gate. The coachmen realized that something had happened, so they abandoned the carriages and found a safe place to hide. Without the coachmen, the pack horses that were pulling the carriages were squeezed together at the city gate. One of the freight carriages even turned sideways, completely blocking the city gate. Under such a crowded situation, the twenty to thirty mercenaries could not rush into the city gate at all.
Joske was well aware of Laurist's capabilities. He was confident in Laurist's skills. Even though Master Siroba had exposed the trap, Joske believed that with Laurist inside, there wouldn't be any problems. Hence, Joske did not pay attention to the movements inside the city wall. Since the horn had sounded and the ambush was activated, the Flying Feather Mercenary Group had no other choice but to obediently surrender. He did not notice that Laurist was entangled by two Gold Rank Shield Bearers who had appeared out of nowhere.
Laurist had discussed this with Joske beforehand. They had imagined that if such a situation were to occur, Joske's mission would be to control the carriages and mercenaries outside the city and not let a single one of them escape. Hence, Joske leaped onto the city wall and ordered the twenty to thirty Flying Feather Mercenary Group mercenaries outside to surrender, dismount, throw away their weapons, and sit on the ground to wait.
No one paid attention to him. A few mercenaries with bows and arrows took out their bows and tried to shoot Joske, but they were shot down by Joske's arrow. Seven mercenaries died in a row. The remaining twenty or so mercenaries finally understood Joske's strength and obediently dismounted to surrender.
Laurist and the two Gold Rank Shield Bearers were locked in battle. For a moment, no one could do anything to the other. Adams, who was at the side, was secretly shocked by Laurist's strength and brilliant swordsmanship. Seeing that his plan to take down Laurist couldn't be realized, and that he couldn't interfere in the fight between the three of them, he gathered the seven or eight mercenaries who were still stunned by the sudden turn of events and charged toward the guards surrounding the tents.
The guards in the double layer of armor had already awakened their combat energy, but the guards in the chain armor hadn't. They didn't expect Commander Adams and his men to attack them from behind. The ballistae on the city walls and hillsides were aimed at the tents. At this moment, the less than ten Flying Feather Mercenary Group members were led by their leader, Adams, to attack the tents from the back. However, no one expected that Adams and his men would charge through the defensive formation as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. In an instant, the encirclement was broken.
This was especially true for Captain Adams, who was a 3-star Silver rank. The sword in his hand flashed with a white glow, making him invincible.
"Kill your way out!" Captain Adams bellowed.
The one hundred and seventy Flying Feather Mercenary Group mercenaries in the tents responded loudly. They raised their weapons and charged towards the guards and guards surrounding them …
"Fire!" Ovis loudly ordered from the hillside. Over ten huge ballista bolts shot out, and seven or eight Flying Feather Mercenary Group mercenaries were nailed to the ground. Apart from a few who died on the spot, the rest who were still breathing were screaming in pain. Following that, the ballistae on the city wall also fired, taking away another five or six mercenaries' lives.
However, the ballistae that had been reloaded were no longer useful. Everyone below was in a chaotic battle, so they could no longer aim and shoot.
"F * ck me!" Overkiss cursed loudly as he rushed down from the hill, joining the chaotic battle …
Mercenary Jim carried his two-handed axe and ran down. The mercenaries beside him asked, "What are you doing, Jim?"
Jim turned his head and said, "Going to help. Are you stupid? If the Flying Feather Mercenary Group gains the upper hand, will we still be able to survive? "
With the addition of twenty mercenaries, the decline of the guards and guards was finally stopped. They were barely able to resist the Flying Feather Mercenary Group's attack.
Captain Adams, who was forcing Padt to dodge left and right, couldn't help but curse loudly when he saw Jim and the other mercenaries joining the battle. Jim and the others didn't reply and only attacked the Flying Feather Mercenary Group's mercenaries fiercely.
Laurist became more and more impatient. The two Gold rank Shield Bearers in front of him were like dog skin plasters. Once stuck, they couldn't be torn off. In the beginning, they still looked down on Laurist, but after exchanging blows with him and realizing his strength, they changed their strategy. They no longer focused on attacking, but instead pestered Laurist, not letting him escape. This caused Laurist to feel anxious as he watched the chaotic battle.
Laurist had even pulled out his short sword, but he only managed to leave a small wound on one of the Shield Bearers. It couldn't even be considered a light injury. Laurist was already anxious. He couldn't let this go on any longer. He had to fight it out with them.
One of the Shield Bearers curled up behind the shield and charged forward, while the other Shield Bearer slashed horizontally with his sword. The first few times, Laurist had retreated to dodge the collision, then blocked the slashing sword, and then continued to fight endlessly. This time, Laurist didn't dodge anymore. Instead, he used his inner force to strike the shield, knocking the Shield Bearer five or six meters away. He used the short sword in his left hand to block the slashing sword, then turned around and pounced at the remaining Shield Bearer in front of him.
When the Shield Bearer saw Laurist pouncing at him aggressively, he hurriedly put his large shield in front of him. In his opinion, as long as Laurist couldn't break through his defense, he could hold on until the other Shield Bearer arrived. At that time, he could resume the battle.
Laurist's longsword pointed straight at the Shield Bearer's shield in front of him. Using his inner force, the longsword pierced through the shield and stabbed into the Shield Bearer's chest.
"Brother!" The Shield Bearer who had been knocked away suddenly let out a tragic scream. He didn't even want his shield anymore. He held his sword with both hands and pounced at Laurist like a mad tiger.
Laurist's body was like a spinning top. He didn't even have time to pull out his longsword from the shield. He turned in a semicircle, and the Shield Bearer's longsword brushed past his body. How could Laurist let go of such a good opportunity? The short sword in his left hand brushed past the Shield Bearer's throat …
Two Gold Rank Shield Bearers fell to the ground. Fresh blood spread on the ground and seeped into the ground, leaving behind a large red mark on the ground.
Laurist was also a bit exhausted, and his body swayed as he stood there. However, he couldn't relax yet. There was still a big battle in front of him. He pulled out his longsword from the shield with great effort, then held it and walked towards the tent …
