"Why do I feel like I've fallen into a trap? Is it too late for me to quit now?" Jin Chen took a step back and said cautiously
"What do you think? It's too late!" Ruan Qi laughed.
Fang Yuan suddenly said, "Look over there, there seems to be a robbery going on?"
Fang Yuan is a bow warrior. He is used to standing on high places and scouting around. In a dangerous place like the wilderness, no matter how relaxed Fang Yuan and his men look, they remain vigilant and tacitly guard one direction each.
Fang Yuan had an unexpected situation in the direction he was on guard, so he made a comment. Jin Chen and Ruan Qi looked in that direction and saw, as expected, five warriors robbing and killing two other warriors, and not far away, a warrior was being chased by three zombies.
It was obvious that the two warriors were there to protect the disciple, while the five warriors were there to rob and kill him. However, as if they had some reservations, they didn't do it themselves, but used the zombies to get rid of him?
As for the two warriors, they didn't have so many scruples and attacked directly. With five against two, they were no match for the opponent and would probably be killed soon.
Jin Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "I know this warrior, Gu Yan, the lord's cousin. Gu Yan's father was also a war lieutenant and the lord's greatest enemy."
After all, the Jin family was a famous noble family. Even after the disaster of the corpse demon, they had maintained the strength that a noble family should have! Jin Chen, who had always been hanging out in such an environment, naturally knew Gu Yan.
Ruan Qi, though of noble birth, had fallen into poverty and did not know Gu Yan. Fang Yuan, though the heir to a warrior family, had fallen into poverty and naturally did not know Gu Yan either.
"Do you want to save people?" Fang Yuan asked.
Ruan Qi looked at Jin Chen and asked, "I don't care. It's up to Jin Chen. Jin Chen is the only one here who knows Gu Yan!"
Jin Chen shook his head and said, "We know each other, but we're just acquaintances. We're not close friends! I don't mind!"
Ruan Qi observed the battle for a moment and said, "These five warriors are well-coordinated and skilled in combat. They won't be easy to deal with! If we want to save them, it's best to do so before two of them are killed. That way, we can still have someone to hold them back, and our chances of victory will be greater."
Jin Chen shook his head and said, "I really don't care. Besides, my strength is the lowest price. You guys make the decision. I support you no matter what."
Ruan Qi looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "Brother Yuan, what's your decision?"
Originally Fang Yuan wanted to say that he didn't care, but suddenly he saw a crystal cover appear outside Gu Yan, and Gu Yan's light spot on the small map turned green.
He immediately changed his words and said, "Save him! Gu Yan has become a Tiandao mercenary and is our comrade! He must be saved!"
Jin Chen and Ruan Qi also noticed the change in Gu Yan. They nodded and agreed with Fang Yuan's decision. In fact, although Gu Yan became a Tiandao mercenary, if Fang Yuan decided not to save him, they could accept it.
However, since Fang Yuan had decided to save them, they could accept it. After all, they all owed their lives to Fang Yuan! Fang Yuan had saved both of their lives!
The three were also very decisive. After deciding to rescue people, they immediately began to prepare to intervene in the battle. After all, they had previously analyzed that it is better to intervene in the battle sooner rather than later!
The three of them communicated through the system and maintained combat formation. Although it was their first time working together, their level of tacit understanding was no less than that of the senior soldiers not far away.
Fang Yuan shot one of them with an arrow, using the newly acquired combat skill inheritance - "Piercing Arrow". The flying speed of the "Piercing Arrow" was faster than the "Heavy Strike Arrow", and its penetrating power was also stronger.
The "Piercing Arrow" skill, which had just been redeemed at noon, was used for the first time after learning it. Under the "Piercing Arrow" skill, the person being hit was directly pierced through the chest by an arrow. The arrow continued to move forward and shot towards the arm of the person behind him.
The warrior was a shield warrior, so he immediately raised his shield to block the attack. That’s why he didn’t get hurt!
"Enemy attack!"
The remaining four warriors immediately launched a fierce attack, then immediately turned around and took a defensive posture in the direction of the arrow, protecting the injured warrior who fell to the ground in the middle.
As for the two soldiers who were originally besieged, they were seriously injured in the final blow and lost their combat effectiveness. It was questionable whether they could survive.
"Damn! They react so quickly!" Jin Chen cursed. He had originally thought that with two soldiers holding them back, the pressure on them to rescue would be less, but he hadn't expected the other side to react so quickly.
Upon discovering the enemy attack, he immediately launched a fierce attack, risking his injuries and crippling the two soldiers! He forced them to withdraw from the battle!
"It's okay. Among the five of them, one fell to the ground seriously injured and lost his combat effectiveness. Two gave up defense in the previous attack and were slightly injured. Their combat effectiveness was damaged. Moreover, they have been fighting for a while and their combat effectiveness is not at its peak. Their supplies have not arrived yet. We have a chance of winning." Ruan Qi analyzed calmly.
Originally, with five people besieging two, they had a perfect chance of winning, so they were not in a hurry and thought about killing the two without getting hurt. But now, they had no choice but to exchange injuries for injuries and end the battle quickly.
The five of them were also helpless!
Looking at the two approaching people and a bow warrior a hundred meters away, one of the five people stepped forward and asked
"Who are you? We are the lord's personal guards, on duty. Don't make mistakes!"
As soon as he mentioned the lord's personal guards, Jin Chen understood why they didn't dare to kill Gu Yan directly and had to use the zombies.
Because this is a taboo among lords.
Members of the lord's family cannot be killed by the family's guards! Even if they are hostile to the lord, this is not allowed.
If they want to continue to be Gu Qing's personal guards, they cannot do something like killing Gu Yan with their own hands.
Although killing Gu Yan through zombies or directly killing him had the same result, it was different for the five guards.
"It seems that the five of them are very loyal to Gu Qing. No one is unwilling to be forced to leave Gu Qing for Gu Yan." Jin Chen said to his two comrades in the communication column.
Seeing that the newcomer ignored him, the man threatened again: "Judging from your appearance, you three should be the lord's warriors. Why are you interfering in my lord's affairs? This is the Gu family's territory. Are you here on official business or for other reasons? It all depends on the cooperation of my lord! You should consider your lord more. Please don't make mistakes!"
The person who spoke looked towards Fang Yuan with hesitation! The threat of the bow warrior was proven by the previous attack that seriously injured one person!
Archers are incredibly resource-intensive, especially arrows. Arrows that can channel battle energy are incredibly difficult to craft. Bows that can channel mission battle energy are also incredibly rare.
