Chapter 412 Robbery and Escape
"Quick! Raise your spears and form your battle array!"
The hilltop was in chaos. A mercenary caravan leader was shouting and commanding a dozen caravan guards and mercenary swordsmen to fight the enemy together with Zhang Yang and others.
At this time, there is not even a chance for introduction or adjustment, because these are redundant in the face of death.
Veteran Robert was just knocked unconscious, but now he has woken up and joined the command.
As for Zhang Yang, he still chose to act in secret at this time. Two heavy javelins and five imperial javelins were his weapons. Of course, he did not forget to upgrade Bob. The experience points he gained from killing the giant warrior were as high as 540 points.
Considering that Bob already had 18 points of strength, Zhang Yang added intelligence to his body this time, gaining two skill points, which he put into the powerful attack skill.
At this point, Bob has 18 points of strength, level 6 Iron Bone, and level 5 Power Attack. The damage he causes will be terrible. It won't be like before, where he had to use the sledgehammer to smash the giant warrior to death five or six times.
The battle had already begun. Five heretic crossbowmen shot at the hill indiscriminately and injured a new recruit named Temu from Zhang Yang's side in a blink of an eye. This guy screamed like a donkey, which scared more recruits. Zhang Yang had to kick him unconscious.
"Fight back, Carly, Anderson."
Zhang Yang shouted loudly, and two mercenary crossbowmen on the caravan were nervously drawing their bows and shooting. While arrows were flying back and forth between the two sides, the heretic black knight had already rushed over from behind. From a distance of more than 30 meters, he threw a spear and blew the skull of a mercenary swordsman into the sky. Blood and brain matter bloomed like popcorn. Several recruits collapsed immediately, and urine, tears and snot flowed out uncontrollably.
But no one cared about them at this time. Everyone was crowded on the hill, and everyone was shouting. It was impossible to hear who was giving orders, nor did they know what tactics to use. They were like a nest of rats.
Perhaps it was fortunate that the heretic black knight only had this one javelin in his hand, and he spurred his horse forward after throwing it.
At this moment, two mercenary swordsmen suddenly threw two javelins. They also carried this kind of weapon, but unfortunately their accuracy was not good enough. The black knight didn't even stop and went straight up the hill.
"Fight! Fight!"
The middle-aged caravan leader was unusually calm, shouting wildly, and together with two caravan guards holding spears, they forced the black knight's horse to stop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, several hired swordsmen rushed forward and chopped fiercely. Then there were clanging sounds and sparks flying, but they did not break the defense at all.
“Whoosh!”
The head of a mercenary swordsman was chopped off, and he was deader than dead. This was just the power of the black knight's sword. He was like a tiger rushing into the sheepfold.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a cold light flew past and pierced directly into the eyes of the black knight's horse.
That’s right, his warhorse was also wearing horse armor, even its head was covered, leaving only its eyes exposed.
But at this moment, it was hit by Zhang Yang's assassin's flying knife. Even though the warhorse was well-trained and extremely majestic, it could not withstand such damage and immediately neighed and kicked up its heels.
A mercenary swordsman was trampled to death by a horse hoof as big as a wine jar, but this also put an end to the black knight's massacre, because he had to control his body so as not to be thrown off the horse. After all, once his heavy armor fell to the ground, he would have no chance to get up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining few mercenary swordsmen and the caravan leader attacked the black knight like crazy, until Zhang Yang threw a heavy javelin again. This time he found the right opportunity, taking advantage of the frenzy of the warhorse and the cover of the mercenary swordsmen, and found the right angle, which was exactly the position where the black knight's left shoulder and armpit were exposed.
This was the only flaw on the black knight's body, because this guy's helmet was covered with a layer of chain mail like a vest, making it impossible to stab his neck.
Only the armpits are bare because the armor is too heavy and for ease of movement.
But under normal circumstances, with the Black Knight's weapon proficiency of 550 points, no one would have this opportunity.
With just one strike, Zhang Yang's heavy javelin penetrated the black knight's armpit a full ten centimeters. This bastard was actually wearing silk underwear!
But even so, Zhang Yang's attack still caused 50 points of damage, which accounted for half of the Black Knight's health bar.
"roar!"
The black knight let out an inhuman roar in pain, and then a pair of red eyes hidden under the mask and helmet locked directly on Zhang Yang. It was so fucking scary.
But Zhang Yang felt no wavering in his heart, fear was just an overreaction of this body.
An assassin's flying knife flew out of his hand, and the warhorse that had just been pacified kicked up its heels in pain again. This time, the black knight was not spared and fell off the horse, then was madly pressed down by a group of people.
It seemed that the situation was settled, but at this moment an extremely evil aura suddenly emerged, as if the devil from hell had descended.
With a cry of "Ah!", the seven or eight soldiers who were suppressing the Black Knight all flew up, and then the Black Knight actually got up from the ground. Even though he only had one hand left, he cut the two mercenary swordsmen in half with one swing of his giant sword.
"call out!"
As blood spurted out, Zhang Yang threw his last heavy javelin again, hitting the black knight's helmet directly. This guy was in a very bad condition at the moment, and he didn't even care about the injury under his left armpit.
“Crash!”
The heavy javelin broke, and a large dent was left on the black knight's helmet. If it were a normal human, his head would at least be dizzy, but the black knight just shook his body, roared wildly, and slashed with the giant sword again, and the caravan leader was directly split in half from head to toe.
At this time, Zhang Yang was less than five meters away from this guy.
"call out!"
Another javelin from the Ancient Empire flew out and hit the Black Knight's helmet accurately, creating another big hole. However, the Black Knight just swayed and kept rushing over like a bulldozer. Moreover, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of strange red light, and his eyes were blood red.
At this moment, Zhang Yang was only two or three seconds away from death, but he still remained calm enough. He threw another ancient empire javelin and directly smashed the black knight's helmet. This time, his head was finally seriously injured. The most important thing was that the damaged helmet had completely blocked his vision.
Zhang Yang took a quick step back, then a step to the left, and at the same time took out the sapphire symbol flying knife, because he could already predict the black knight's next move.
He roared and took off his deflated helmet, even though it scratched his face and made it bleed.
At this moment, the flying knife flew out and instantly penetrated into the black knight's left temple and went straight into the handle.
After all, this is not an ordinary throwing knife, but a rune weapon with built-in armor-piercing effect and stabbing damage of up to 60.
The red light on the black knight's body suddenly burst like a bubble, and he fell to the ground and died with a desperate scream. At the same time, the evil aura disappeared without a trace.
730 experience points obtained.
Zhang Yang finally upgraded again.
But at this moment he could not care about these things, or even the chaotic battlefield. The heretics in front had already reached the hilltop. He pounced on the body of the black knight like an old dog and pulled out the sapphire rune throwing knife. At the moment of pulling it out, a ray of red light was actually drawn out from the wound and attached to the throwing knife.
Zhang Yang's heart was shaken. This power——
But he did not remain stunned. He turned around suddenly and the sapphire symbol flying knife flew out of his hand, killing a heretic worshipper with one strike.
Afterwards, Zhang Yang continued to throw assassin's flying knives to kill four heretics in a row, and finally stabilized the position on the hill.
"charge!"
He gave the order, then mounted his horse, drew out his sapphire rune sword, and charged towards the heretic infantry.
Without the cover of the cavalry, these heretic infantry could no longer cause any trouble. Zhang Yang, riding a fast horse and with a long sword, was like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, he killed 11 people. The remaining heretic soldiers were also killed by other soldiers.
However, five of Zhang Yang's new recruits died, three of his armed infantrymen died, and there were many injured. Even the two horses pulling the cart died.
Fortunately, the harvest was enough.
Since the leader of this caravan was dead and there were only two guards left, the overturned cart of the caravan was occupied by Zhang Yang.
After harnessing a few captured war horses to the cart, Zhang Yang led his team away quickly. He did not even clean up the battlefield carefully, but only stripped the armor and equipment of the black knight and the two giant warriors.
As for the two caravan guards, they were killed directly.
About half an hour after Zhang Yang and his men took a detour along the wilderness, a cavalry unit came rushing in from the direction of Sarion. They were official reinforcements.
They were a step late.
A day later, Zhang Yang handed over 12 barrels of dark beer in Haringosburg, completing the transportation task. Then he did not stop and led the team directly to another city in the Kingdom of Sarion, Afendol, mainly because he felt guilty.
No one knew the name of the destroyed caravan or where it came from, but the cargo on that car was truly expensive.
The five large boxes of velvet alone were worth 5,000 silver dinars, plus one box of spices, two boxes of woolen cloth, and the rest was all salt.
So we can’t stay in Sarion City for the time being.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yang was not really intoxicated with this harvest, nor did he care about his subordinates with high morale, because he was currently holding a piece of demon gold and thinking.
This was dropped by the Black Knight, and Zhang Yang already had enough evidence to show that the Black Knight's final strange outburst was related to this devil gold, which could summon the power of the devil for his own use.
"But this is not some kind of demonic power. This is clearly some kind of extraordinary magic."
Zhang Yang said with a dim gaze, and took out the sapphire symbol flying knife again. At this time, the red light on it had dissipated, but he had sensed it clearly before. This power was similar to the power of the abyss demon clan.
"Then, can I use the power of the devil's gold to release the magic word once?"
When Zhang Yang thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. He was too weak now, and he couldn't rely on the main body, so even if he could release the simplest and weakest Abyss Magic Language, it would be enough for him to walk sideways in this low-martial arts and low-magic world.
"However, demon gold is not easy to obtain. Maybe I need to find a way to deal with those cultists more often in the future, such as robbing them."
