The disdainful and disdainful words sounded but it didn't cause any disgust from the people around.
Quite the contrary, as the words sounded, Volgen, the civilian soldiers, and the mercenaries quickly calmed down when they saw the figure walking past them.
"Everyone, pay attention!"
"Get into position!"
"We will teach them a lesson!"
After calming down, Volgen started to command his men in an orderly manner.
The civilian soldiers and mercenaries quickly got into position.
The arrow towers and rooftops were the fortifications that they were guarding.
Volgen was standing on the rooftop near the main gate, he raised his hand up high when he saw the robbers and bandits getting closer.
"First volley, get ready …"
"Fire!"
Volgen swung his arm down heavily and 23 arrows vanished into the night sky in an arc.
"Aaaargh! Aaaargh! "
Agonizing cries sounded from the robbers and bandits further away.
Perhaps the arrows weren't concentrated enough but the charging robbers and bandits were still lethal.
It wasn't just because most of the civilian soldiers of Shatterstone Town were hunters with decent archery skills, it was also because the robbers and bandits never thought the people of Shatterstone Town would counterattack.
It didn't match the news that they received.
But soon enough, the robbers and bandits didn't think about it anymore.
The second volley of arrows arrived.
Sou Sou Sou!
Facing the arrows falling from the sky, the densely packed charging team was really like a target.
A dozen robbers and bandits fell off their horses and were trampled into meat paste by the horses that came after them.
There were a few arrows that missed the riders and nailed themselves onto the horses.
Neigh!
The horses neighed loudly and the riders stood up.
Not only were the riders thrown off their horses, many robbers and bandits who couldn't dodge the arrows crashed into each other one after another.
Kacha, Kacha!
Bone breaking noises sounded ceaselessly under the night sky, both men's and horses'.
The charging momentum of the robbers and bandits couldn't be held back for a moment.
"Well done!"
Vaughn looked at the mercenary who just shot the arrows and exclaimed loudly.
Even though they were hunters, compared to real professionals, the civilian soldiers were still quite a distance away. It wasn't just the usual training, it was also the real combat experience.
The militia, who had shot two arrows in a row, were now panting slightly.
Clearly, each of them had used all their strength to draw the bowstring and had done a certain degree of pre-aiming for the two arrows just now. This undoubtedly consumed a lot of energy.
Looking at the mercenaries, they all looked normal and their breathing was steady. It would not be a problem for them to shoot another two rounds.
"Militia, take a break. Next, mercenaries, fire together!"
Vaughn directed.
The 13 militiamen immediately began to adjust their breathing.
The ten mercenaries once again nocked their arrows.
Sou sou sou!
The arrow flew into the sky again.
However, the effect wasn't great this time.
The robbers and bandits that lurked around Supreme Road were no idiots. When they realized that they would be treated as targets by charging at them, they spread out right away.
Of course, there were still one or two unlucky people who were shot.
Volgen looked at the scattered robbers and bandits under the night sky with a heavy expression.
These guys reacted faster than he had imagined. In his estimation, at least the first three rounds of arrows should not be a problem.
But now, after only two rounds, he reacted.
"Everyone, scatter and find your own targets!"
"Remember to save your energy!"
Volgen reminded the militiamen and mercenaries around him. He then took out the longbow on his back.
Sou!
Aaaargh!
An arrow was fired and the fastest robber who was further away fell off his horse.
Sou, Sou Sou!
Another three arrows were fired in a row.
None of the arrows missed their target.
Every arrow took a bandit's life.
No one was surprised by Volgen's archery skills.
In fact, one of the biggest reasons why Volgen could become the captain of the militia was because of his excellent archery skills.
Likewise, it was also the reason why Volgen didn't participate in the previous volley because he was the commander.
Everyone knew under what circumstances Volgen's archery skills could bring out its full potential.
A black figure quietly approached Volgen under the cover of the shadows.
The previous command and the archery skills were telling the robbers and bandits that this young man should be one of the leaders in charge of defense.
Killing the young man would break the defense system of Shatterstone Town.
Shatterstone Town might even crumble on its own.
With the thought in mind, the black figure drew his dagger.
However, the two swords were faster.
The first slash sliced off the black figure's hand that was holding the dagger.
The second slash sliced off the black figure's head.
Volgen was stunned when he saw the fallen black figure. He then looked at Snacker with a grateful gaze.
Although Volgen knew he could dodge the attack the moment Snacker made his move, he would definitely be injured. Being injured wasn't something to be happy about, let alone at a critical moment like this.
The dual blademaster nodded at the young captain before he dashed towards his next target.
Shatterstone Town's defense was still too weak.
Whether it was the number of men or the allocation of men, it was the same.
Those bastards who were good at hiding their tracks could easily sneak into the town without any resistance.
After another slash killed another bastard who snuck in, the dual blademaster couldn't help but sigh.
Just as the dual blademaster sighed, an arrow was fired out from the shadows.
Sou!
Ding!
The arrow from the shadows was fast but Buru's wasn't slow either.
Buru's arrow knocked away the arrow.
A dash of red flashed in the shadows.
Riley walked out with a crossbow in his hand.
"These robbers and bandits aren't normal, they even have such good stuff."
Riley praised as he raised his crossbow and nailed the bastard in the shadows on the other side to the ground.
"Robbers and bandits who dared to work together with Sand Bandit, Cranium Crusher, and Bearman, I would be even more surprised if they were normal people!"
Snacker said as he dashed towards his new target.
"I guess you're right!"
Riley shrugged and went into hiding again.
Buru reloaded his bow again.
The trio from Dawn City worked together with tacit understanding to eliminate the robbers and bandits that snuck into Shatterstone Town. However, from start to finish, a part of their attention was placed on Kieran.
The abilities that Kieran displayed last night astonished the three of them.
Today, the three of them wanted to see what kind of abilities Kieran possessed.
However, the result puzzled the three of them.
The robbers and bandits had already reached the main gate of Shatterstone Town, the modified antlers were carried to both sides of the road.
A smooth road had appeared in front of the robbers and bandits.
Meanwhile, Kieran who was standing in front of the main gate was looking at the robbers and bandits with an arrogant look, he didn't even have the intention to make a move.
The robbers and bandits were also astonished by Kieran's arrogance.
A lot of people saw what happened last night, it couldn't be concealed and the robbers and bandits that appeared outside Shatterstone Town were all well-informed people.
Therefore, when they saw Kieran looking at them with an arrogant face, the cunning robbers and bandits around Supreme Road started to hesitate.
Therefore, a strange scene unfolded outside Shatterstone Town.
One side was alone, and there was only one person.
The other side had the advantage in numbers but they didn't move forward.
However, when both sides looked at each other, the former's eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance while the latter's eyes were evasive and hesitant.
The strange scene lasted until a loud shout sounded.
"Go to hell!"
A figure that was so buff that it didn't look like a human dashed out from the crowd and swung a thick spiked mace at Kieran.
Fuung!
The huge force brought about a dull sound of breaking through the air.
The strong wind blew the dirt around the main gate of Shatterstone Town.
Some small pebbles were also blown up and hit the people.
Everyone looked at the figure wielding the spiked mace in shock.
Even though they didn't experience it themselves, they could feel how scary the strike was.
"Bearman!"
"It's Bearman!"
The robbers and bandits cried out in shock.
Someone in Shatterstone Town gasped coldly as well.
Bearman's reputation was too big around Supreme Road, together with Sand Bandit and Cranium Crusher, they became the synonym for robbers and bandits around Supreme Road.
Everyone who walked Supreme Road would be filled with fear and reverence for the three of them.
However, Kieran who stood there was different.
Kieran was still arrogant and disdainful of Bearman's furious strike, he didn't even want to look at Bearman.
It was as if the strike didn't exist.
It also felt like looking at such an opponent would be an insult to him.
Kieran closed his eyes right away.
"Lord 2567, be careful!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Kieran close his eyes. The young captain couldn't hold back his warning but Kieran turned a deaf ear and continued doing what he wanted.
The spiked mace was getting closer and the whistle was getting louder.
Bearman was infuriated that his trading item was stolen.
His opponent's contempt … no, disregard further infuriated Bearman.
His rage made Bearman's body bigger and bigger.
His rage made Bearman's strength grow stronger.
His rage made Bearman feel like he was burning again.
Then …
Bearman really started to burn.
Huuu!
Black flames burst out from Bearman's eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.
Bearman's brain and organs were instantly burned to ash, followed by his muscles, bones, skin, and hair.
Within a breath's time, Bearman, who was lively a moment ago, turned into a burning torch.
Dang!
The heavy spiked mace fell on the ground.
The loud noise caused the hearts of the surrounding people to tremble.
They unconsciously looked at Kieran.
Kieran was still standing there with his eyes closed. The arrogance on his face seemed to have turned into mockery, provoking the intruders.
However, in the face of the strange scene of the bearman being burned by the black flames, none of the bandits and robbers dared to step forward.
But sometimes, people would go against their hearts.
"My body?!"
"What's wrong with my body?!"
A dozen robbers and bandits suddenly realized they couldn't control their bodies anymore.
They widened their eyes as they saw themselves swinging their swords at Kieran.
"It's the desert robbers!"
Unlike the gasps when Bearman appeared, when the word "desert robber" was mentioned, even the robbers and bandits showed fear on their faces.
Why?
The dozens of robbers who couldn't control their bodies anymore and charged at Kieran was the answer.
Desert robbers could control other people's bodies.
If it wasn't for the will of the manipulator, everyone would think that Sand Bandit was the legendary Son of the Moon. However, there were also rumors that Sand Bandit had the bloodline of the Son of the Moon.
The robbers and bandits looked at each other in fear.
When they saw the one-eyed middle-aged man and his men, they couldn't help but step back, like a wave being slashed in half.
Desert Robber appeared in the crowd.
Not just Desert Robber.
Cranium Crusher was also eye-catching.
Even though his body and looks were normal, the symbol of Cranium Crusher was enough to make the robbers and bandits avoid him like the plague.
Desert Robber, Cranium Crusher, and Bearman were the synonyms of the robbers and bandits around Supreme Road. Being strong was one thing, but being ruthless and cruel was more important.
However, following the appearance of Desert Robber and Cranium Crusher, the bandits that stopped because of Bearman's death started to have high morale again.
It was a fact that Bearman was dead.
But it was also a fact that Desert Robber and Cranium Crusher were stronger.
The robbers and bandits believed with the two of them making a move, the bastard blocking the entrance would be dead meat.
Then …
It would be the happiest part of their plan.
One needed to know that they were here to rob the town.
Of course, according to their rules, they had to put in the effort to earn the right to rob the town.
Therefore, the robbers and bandits' eyes turned red.
Killing intent!
But more than that, it was greed!
The dozens of robbers and bandits that were controlled were no exception.
It was true that they were controlled but it was also a fact that they participated.
That was enough.
"Kill!"
The dozens of robbers and bandits that were controlled shouted at Kieran, who had his eyes closed.
More robbers and bandits behind them shouted in unison. They were ready to charge at Kieran.
They wanted to take down the town in one go.
They wanted to party in the town.
Laughing in the blazing fire.
Crying in pain, drinking to their heart's content.
Every single one of the bandits was breathing heavily and killing intent was boiling.
However, when the blazing fire appeared, the laughter didn't come.
Crying in pain did.
But it was their own.
The black fire was like a torch to the Bearman, turning the 200 robbers and bandits into blazing torches again.
Under the bright moonlight.
The black fire was rumbling in front of Shatterstone Town's entrance like a rising tide.
Desert Robber and Cranium Crusher's cunning prevented them from being set ablaze.
Both of them widened their eyes and clenched their teeth at Kieran, who had his eyes closed.
"Who are you?
This fire isn't the fire of the Burning Family! "
Both of them shouted.
Kieran frowned when he heard the shouts, as if he thought it was too noisy.
"Barking dog."
After the soft words, Kieran turned around and walked into Shatterstone Town, he didn't even bat an eye at the two of them.
Desert Robber and Cranium Crusher looked at Kieran's departing figure with a vengeful gaze but they didn't give chase.
It wasn't that they didn't want to.
It was that they couldn't.
It made sense, they didn't dare to.
Six figures swam freely in the black fire like an iron wall, blocking the two of them.
Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, and Envy were reflected on the six figures' faces.
They felt the wicked feeling that came from the heart of the six figures.
Sand Bandit and Cranium Crusher shuddered at the same time.
…
Meanwhile, further away from Shatterstone Town, Bankers was preparing in secret after he received the notice.
"With Desert Robber, Cranium Crusher, and Bearman around, even if that bastard is the peasant eldest son of the Burning Family, he will die if he goes back, what an unnecessary move.
Though, Modi's price is quite decent, consider it a bargain for me! "
Bankers chuckled lightly. When he felt the gemstone in his hand jump, he quickly hid in the darkness.
