Wals woke up quickly. This time he had to rush to the designated location to find the sword. He encountered two gangs of bandits along the way, but the signal did not encounter the reconnaissance team of the Rhodok Kingdom. If he encountered the reconnaissance team of the Rhodok Kingdom, Wals did not intend to leave any alive. If he left a survivor, this guy would definitely tip off the local lord, which was not what Wals wanted to see.
The eight people mounted their horses and quickly headed to the designated location.
It was a cliff with no end in sight. The cliff was very deep and the bottom could not be seen below the cliff.
This is completely a valley, surrounded by mountains and steep rock walls everywhere. It can be said that if a person falls down, he will definitely die. If he is not dead, he will not be able to climb out. This is a completely dangerous area.
Walls decided to go down alone first, while the other seven people would be responsible for picking him up. This way, they could ensure that nothing would go wrong. After all, there would be no dangerous enemies at the bottom of the cliff, but there were enough enemies on the top of the cliff.
Because a group of bandits could pop out at any time and anywhere. These bandits were not difficult to deal with, but if there were not many of them, they would still cause some losses. In order to ensure safety, Wals left the seven of them on the cliff. Wals was left holding only a rope and slowly falling down from the cliff.
This side of the cliff was bare, without any vegetation. It was obvious that this was a dead land. The light from the morning sun shone perfectly into Wals' eyes. For Wals, this was the most difficult time. He held the rope in both hands. If anyone pointed a bow and arrow at him now, he would have no power to fight back.
Maybe a shield should be brought.
This is what Walls said to himself, but Walls felt it was strange that he had this idea. After all, there was no one here, so who would launch a surprise attack on him?
But what Walls said was indeed right.
Count Talba, who had already figured out Wals's whereabouts, rushed out with more than a hundred people. Although these people were not as elite as King Gryfus' army that invaded the Nord Kingdom, these one hundred people were also young and strong men. They were all soldiers recently recruited from nearby villages. Although they did not have rich combat experience, they were young people after all.
Couldn't a hundred people beat eight people? Moreover, Wals was already in the middle of the cliff, and he was slowly going down, preparing to reach the bottom of the valley. This was very dangerous. If dozens of people pointed bows and arrows at him, Wals might be shot to death.
The seven people on the cliff suddenly noticed the change in the situation. Many citizens of the Rhodok Kingdom suddenly appeared in front of them. Their equipment was relatively simple. After all, Earl Talba was a small lord and he had just experienced a great war. In that war, he brought all his conscripted soldiers with him. Although it was not an elite army, in order to express his gratitude for the reward given to him by King Gryphus, he still tried his best to transfer his combat troops to the front line. That time, in order to cover King Gryphus's escape, his troops also made great efforts.
Now, this person also has to face the next challenge, to catch the seven people in front of him, or to kill the seven people in front of him.
Count Talba, who had participated in the siege of Suno, naturally knew who the seven people in front of him were. These seven people were all generals under Wals. No wonder eight people could kill more than 100 bandits. Such strength was beyond doubt. Count Talba did not doubt him. The seven people in front of him were all Wals's men, so Wals must be here. More than a hundred people surrounded this cliff. Now there was a cliff behind the seven people, and in front of them were all the ferocious soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom.
This inevitably made the seven people tremble in their hearts. After all, the sudden appearance of so many regular troops really made them feel a little worried. They didn't say that they were regular troops. The seven people didn't dare to make plans against the more than 100 bandits in the past nine years. After all, if they really fought with more than 100 people, they would suffer. They were at a disadvantage in numbers and they gathered together silently.
Count Kalba saw that they were still fearless in the face of danger. After all, they still raised their weapons and there was no sign of panic in their bodies. He secretly admired them in his heart. He still remembered clearly how they fought desperately with the soldiers of his Rhodok Kingdom in the siege of Suno. If he could recruit them to his army, it would undoubtedly increase his strength.
Therefore, for Count Talba, it was his wish to recruit these people into his army.
"Warriors in front, I know you are generals under Wals. I wonder what exactly are you doing running to the territory of our Rhodok Kingdom this time?" Earl Talba walked out of the queue and asked the seven people in front. When he said this, he was very confident, just like a mighty lion. This was indeed the case. After all, he had a large number of people now, so it was inevitable that he would speak in a high-profile manner.
"It's your turn to interrogate our affairs." Airen acted decisively and immediately walked out and pointed at Count Talba.
Hearing Ailen say this about himself, Count Talba couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he still forced himself to suppress his anger. Now he had the advantage, and whether to kill them or not depended entirely on his words. Several people would never leave here alive.
Unless they are willing to surrender.
"Okay, I won't continue questioning you. Now I will give you a choice. Either surrender or die."
"Surrender?" This time it was Jack who stood up first. He was a cowardly man, but his tall and strong figure immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom.
"I still don't know what surrender is?"
"Okay, since you have said so much, I don't think you are willing to surrender. In this case, I will not force you. Now I will send you to hell and avenge the soldiers of our Rhodok Kingdom." Count Talba drew his two-handed sword.
Count Talba was holding a two-handed sword in his hand, wearing an I-faced helmet on his head and iron boots on his feet. The most luxurious part of his body was his armor. Perhaps he had spent all his belongings on purchasing this armor. This was a luxurious armor, probably carefully crafted by some skilled craftsmen, and it was quite good for defending against attacks.
At this moment, Count Talba personally led a pair of soldiers from the Rhodok Kingdom. He wanted to be the star on the battlefield. Although he was outnumbered, it did not prevent him from avenging his Rhodok soldiers.
Seeing the Rhodok soldiers gradually rushing towards them, the seven people felt a little scared. After all, the enemy was numerous. Although they had a fast horse, Wals had not come up yet. How could they leave first? If these Rhodok soldiers found the rope after they left and cut it, then Wals would never come back.
And even if they didn't cut the rope, Walls would still be discovered by them when he climbed up. By the time Walls climbed up the cliff, I would be caught. The seven of us would be able to leave, but what about Walls?
Airen is undoubtedly the most capable leader among the seven people except for Walls. Now he has stood up as the captain of this team and gives orders to the other six people.
"Now that Lord Wals hasn't come up yet, we absolutely can't leave like this. We must hold on until the last moment, until Wals comes back." Airen said to the other six people. The six people nodded. All seven of them were loyal to Wals, so it was not surprising that they had such determination.
Fatis, Niza, and Desevi originally joined Wals' team later, but they have been impressed by Wals's powerful strength. There are very few people on the continent who can win with fewer troops, and now they can work efficiently under such a person, which is undoubtedly a great honor for them.
Therefore, the seven people united and agreed to fight against these Rhodok soldiers together.
The first to come up were a pair of spearmen from the Rhodok Kingdom. They were equipped with simple shields in their left hands and a spear in their right hands. The spear was their main offensive weapon, and the shield was used for defense.
艾雷恩注意到悬崖是一个很巧妙的地形，这一个地形刚好只能够让十个人并列通行，这也就意味着他们七个人可以同时面对十个人作为对手，这样的话反而可以增大他们的生存机遇。如果说这一个悬崖的宽度足够大的话，可以容忍一百个人同时进攻，那么艾雷恩这七个人可能一秒钟都坚持不住，但是现在有了这样的地形却反而让他们增添了可以守住的把握。
首先上来的十个持矛手，挥舞着自己手中的长矛，长矛的矛尖直刺而来，虽然说他们都是一些青壮男子，但是他们还是缺少作战经验以及对于武术的掌握，因此戴恩首先挥出自己手中的一件，这一剑直接就劈伤了一名罗多克持矛手的手臂，他握着长矛的手鲜血直流，这一条手臂已经被艾雷恩给砍了下来，而与此同时其他的九名持矛手都和艾雷恩所干掉的那一名持矛手大同小异，他们都被剩下的六个人给砍成重伤。
“就这样的实力也敢来挑战我们问候我们是不会就这样轻易被打败的。”杰克挥动着自己手中的大斧，这一把斧头已经砍下了一名持矛手的脑袋，顿时战场上面9死1伤，极大的震撼了那些想要继续雇来的持矛手。
艾雷恩挥动自己手中的长剑，解决了那一个受伤的持矛手，塔尔巴伯爵看见眼前的七个人居然有着如此强大的实力，不免也是倒吸一口凉气，不过已经见识过这七个人强大实力的塔尔巴伯爵没有更多的迟疑，他知道是人就会疲惫的，他不断的驱使着自己指着自己的士兵向前前进，一百多个人就连七个人也拿不下这样的事情要是传了出去定会被其他人所笑话。塔尔巴伯爵是绝对不会允许这样的事情发生的。马蒂尔德手中的长剑刺穿了一名持矛手的心脏，持矛手虽然有着盾牌作为自己的防御，但是他们没有坚硬的铠甲，这也给了马蒂尔德可乘之机，马蒂尔德的长剑刺穿的一名又一名持矛手的心脏，杰克的大斧也砍下了一名又一名持矛手的脑袋，法提斯，尼扎，这两个人也是冲在前面。
法提斯手中的长剑来去如风，尼扎手中的弯刀翻来覆去。
不多时，他们就已经杀掉了数名罗多克士兵，贝斯图尔和德赛维，他们两个作为弓箭手，不时的射出手中的利箭，每一箭都可以直接命中敌人的头颅。
德赛维和贝斯图尔都是百发百中的神箭手，而且这一群罗多克士兵并没有极佳的防御装备，他们的手上只有简陋的木制盾牌作为防御器械，铠甲也仅仅只是少量的士兵才拥有的东西，至于说头盔，这样的一种东西是根本就没有的。因此就给了德赛维和贝斯图尔很大的利用空间。只要他们将他们手中的弓箭射进了一名士兵的头颅或者说心脏，就可以一击致命。
可是即便如此，还是有着越来越多的罗多克士兵跑到了前面，他们在塔尔巴伯爵的驱使之下犹如僵尸一般缓慢的向前移动，原本他们兴致冲冲的冲到前面以为对方七个人只是普通的七个人，用不了多久便可以将他们给擒住，但是在七个人展现出他们强大的实力之后，那些罗多克士兵都纷纷犹豫不决。但是在塔尔巴伯爵的驱使下，他们还是不得不抬起自己的脚步向前走进。
贝斯图尔向德赛维使了一个眼色，德赛维立刻心领神会，贝斯图尔知道塔尔巴伯爵是这一场战争的主要指挥官，或者说是这一场战争的最高指挥官，如果说自己能够将塔尔巴伯爵给射杀的话，那么这一场战争自然会不攻自破，那一群罗多克士兵指示没有经历过战争的新兵，拿着简陋的武装，从他们惊恐的眼神当中可以看见，如果说没有塔尔巴伯爵在后面进行指挥的话，这些士兵早已经逃之夭夭。
“他们和我们之前所遇见的山贼并没有什么两样，不过就是人数多了点而已。”贝斯图尔如此评价他们，这样的评价对于一支正规军来说简直就是耻辱。
贝斯图尔的话并没有传到塔尔巴伯爵的耳朵当中，她正在紧急的张望着，自己的军队初一交锋似乎就落在下风，这件事情似乎是在塔尔巴伯爵的意料之中。塔尔巴伯爵的眼中出现了恐惧的神色，但是他的恐惧并没有让他退缩，还是一样指挥着自己的士兵向前冲去，而他自己则坐在后面遥控指挥。
突然之间，一支利箭突然就射向了他，塔尔巴伯爵毕竟也是习武之人，立刻就反应过来了，他的身体侧身一躲，肩膀上面还是没有脱离这一支利箭的弹道范围，因此肩膀背着一支利箭给射中了，不过幸好，塔尔巴伯爵穿戴者是一身重甲，这一套重甲完全可以为它抵消大部分的伤害，因此这一支利箭并没有刺入她的身体太深。
仅仅只是擦伤点皮而已。
塔尔巴伯爵望着插在自己肩膀上面的那一只利箭，突然之间他的两眼一睁，仿佛是发现了什么有趣的东西一般。
“早就应该这样了，就是我一时之间未了展现我的军队的风采，才让那些家伙前去送死。”
塔尔巴伯爵立刻有序的指挥着自己的士兵往后撤退，这些罗克士兵早就想往后面退去了，前面一名又一名罗克士兵被七个人所杀时，因此他们也不想和这些个人作战，就是因为这一处悬崖的特殊地理位置，才使得这七个人有回旋的余地可以与他们较量，如果说他们的背后也有敌人的话，或许现在已经被他们给拿下了。
塔尔巴伯爵立刻指挥着自己军队当中的罗克鲁索对着远处的七个人进行射击。
没错，塔尔巴伯爵被那一只利箭给吓醒了，本来他让自己的步兵直接上去和这七个人进行较量，但是这七个人都有着不俗的武艺，一时半会儿根本就难以拿下这七个人，但是现在，塔尔巴伯爵改变作战方式，让罗多克弩手与远程射击来进行攻击，远程射杀可以补损失自己的人力，因此这是最好的消灭它们的办法。
艾雷恩他们七个人在看见了塔尔巴伯爵使出了罗多克弩手的时候，迅速在地上捡起那些简陋的盾牌，虽然说这些盾牌提供的防护仅仅只是少量的，但依然可以阻挡这些利箭。
艾雷恩和马蒂尔德，他们两个原本就拥有着盾牌，因此他们的盾牌是最好的，但是其余的人就没有这么幸运了，他们依托着罗克士兵那简陋的盾牌，提供着少量的防御，这迫使他们在罗多克鲁索的射击之下还是受伤的，虽然说对于他们来说只是普普通通的轻伤，但是在这样继续下去的话依然不是个事情。
罗多克弩手的弩箭是有一定几率可以射穿那一种简陋的盾牌的，毕竟鲁剑的攻击力要远远强于弓箭，那一群罗多克士兵手上配备的盾牌都是用来防守弓箭的。
现在，艾雷恩他们突然觉得罗多克视频的盾牌要是再好一点就好了，这样的简陋盾牌在这样的攻击之下是撑不了多久的。
此时此刻，他们七个人只能够在自己的心里祈祷着沃尔斯能够赶紧上来。
而在悬崖之下的沃尔斯，却正在寻找着那一把宝剑。
突然之间，一支弩箭突然就从悬崖上面跌落下来，正好就撞在了沃尔斯的脚前，沃尔斯拿起那一支弩箭，他可以清楚的辨别着一支弩箭是罗多克弩手的专用弩箭，曾经和罗多克王国交过手的沃尔斯，自然明白和了解罗多克士兵的制式装备。对于这一支弩箭是再熟悉不过的，全大陆上面六个国家，只有斯瓦迪亚王国和罗多克王国是用路见，他此时此刻跌落在沃尔斯脚下的那一支弩箭就是罗多克王国的弩箭。这一支弩箭从悬崖之下跌落下来，毫无疑问就是在告诉过特一个事情，现在在悬崖上面有着一群罗多克士兵。
悬崖特别深，因此沃尔斯的耳朵无法听到悬崖之上发生的声音，但是零零散散的有着那么几十路见跌落在悬崖之下，沃尔斯可以轻松的判别出来，艾雷恩他们正在遭遇一群罗克士兵的围攻。
沃尔斯也知道自己寻找宝剑的时间要大大的缩短，他马不停蹄的开始了自己的收藏工作，洛里默仅仅只知道这一把宝剑跌落在哪里，却不知道这一把宝剑的具体位置。据传说，这把宝剑的主人带着一把宝剑跳崖而死，现在如果他能够找到这把宝剑的主人的尸身，就有很大的机会寻找到那一把宝剑。
这一处悬崖很是特殊，根本就没有任何职务，不知道在这里是否还有这奇特的生命在这里生存着。
沃尔斯在自己的心里这般想着，却突然看见眼前出现了一条大蟒蛇。
The python had a unique pattern on its body, alternating between black and red. At this moment, the python was spitting out its tongue and baring its fangs and claws towards Wales.
Wals had seen giant pythons, but he had never seen one as big as the one in front of him. This python seemed to be a snake that was about 10 meters long. After discovering Wals' whereabouts, the python curled up its body.
"What's going on? Can you tell me why there is such a big python?" Wals drew out his sword and asked Lorimer.
"This should be a mutated python. It is indeed larger than ordinary pythons, but this is just an ordinary one. If you talk about the ancient pythons you have encountered, their bodies are much larger than this one." Lorimer actually had the mind to talk about other knowledge at this time.
Walls was scared to death.
