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.
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 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. ferocious soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom.
This inevitably made the seven people tremble in their hearts. 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.
Airen noticed that the cliff was a very clever terrain. This terrain was just enough for ten people to pass through in parallel, which meant that the seven of them could face ten people at the same time, which would increase their chances of survival. If the width of this cliff was large enough to tolerate a hundred people attacking at the same time, then the seven of Airen might not be able to hold out for even a second, but now with this terrain, they have more confidence in holding on.
The first ten spearmen who came up waved their spears with the tips of their spears stabbing straight forward. Although they were all young and strong men, they still lacked combat experience and mastery of martial arts. Therefore, Dane swung out one of his own first, and this sword directly cut the arm of a Rhodok spearman. His hand holding the spear was bleeding. This arm had been chopped off by Airen, and at the same time, the other nine spearmen were similar to the one killed by Airen. They were all seriously injured by the remaining six.
"You dare to challenge us with such strength. We will not be defeated so easily." Jack swung the axe in his hand. The axe had already chopped off the head of a spearman. Immediately, 9 people were killed and 1 was injured on the battlefield, which greatly shocked those spearmen who wanted to continue hiring.
Airen swung the long sword in his hand and dealt with the injured spearman. Count Talba couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he saw the seven people in front of him were so powerful. However, Count Talba, who had seen the powerful strength of these seven people, did not hesitate any more. He knew that people would get tired. He kept driving his soldiers forward. If more than a hundred people couldn't even take down seven people, they would be laughed at by others if such a thing was spread out. Count Talba would never allow such a thing to happen. The long sword in Mathilde's hand pierced the heart of a spearman. Although the spearmen had shields as their own defense, they did not have hard armor, which also gave Mathilde an opportunity. Mathilde's long sword pierced the hearts of spearmen one after another, and Jack's axe also chopped off the heads of spearmen one after another. Fatis and Niza also rushed to the front.
The long sword in Fatis's hand moved like the wind, and the scimitar in Niza's hand turned over and over.
Soon, they had killed several Rhodok soldiers. Bestur and Desevi, the two archers, shot sharp arrows in their hands from time to time, and each arrow could hit the enemy's head directly.
Desevi and Bestur were both archers who never missed their target. Moreover, this group of Rhodok soldiers did not have excellent defensive equipment. They only had simple wooden shields as defensive equipment. Armor was only owned by a small number of soldiers. As for helmets, there were no such things at all. Therefore, Desevi and Bestur had a lot of room to use. As long as they shot the arrows in their hands into the head or heart of a soldier, it would be a fatal blow.
But even so, more and more Rhodok soldiers ran to the front. Under the command of Count Talba, they moved forward slowly like zombies. They rushed to the front excitedly, thinking that the seven people were just ordinary people and they would be captured in no time. However, after the seven people showed their strong strength, the Rhodok soldiers were hesitant. However, under the command of Count Talba, they had to raise their feet and move forward.
Bestur winked at Desevi, who immediately understood. Bestur knew that Count Talba was the main commander of this war, or the supreme commander of this war. If he could shoot and kill Count Talba, then this war would naturally fall apart. That group of Rhodok soldiers were instructing new recruits who had never experienced war, holding simple weapons. From their frightened eyes, it can be seen that if Count Talba had not been commanding from behind, these soldiers would have fled long ago.
"They are no different from the bandits we encountered before, except that there are more of them." Bestul commented on them. Such an evaluation was simply a shame for a regular army.
Bestur's words did not reach Count Talba's ears. She was looking around anxiously. Her army seemed to be at a disadvantage in the first battle. This seemed to be within Count Talba's expectations. Fear appeared in Count Talba's eyes, but his fear did not make him retreat. He still commanded his soldiers to rush forward, while he sat in the back and gave remote commands.
Suddenly, an arrow shot towards him. After all, Count Talba was a martial artist, so he reacted immediately. He dodged sideways, but his shoulder was still within the trajectory of the arrow, so he was shot by the arrow. Fortunately, Count Talba was wearing heavy armor, which could offset most of the damage, so the arrow did not penetrate too deeply into his body.
It's just a scratch.
Count Talba looked at the sharp arrow stuck in his shoulder, and suddenly his eyes opened wide, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"It should have been done a long time ago. It was because I failed to show off my army's prowess that those guys went to die."
Count Talba immediately commanded his soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner. These Rock soldiers had long wanted to retreat. When the Rock soldiers in front were killed one after another by the seven men, they did not want to fight with these individuals. It was because of the special geographical location of this cliff that these seven men had room to maneuver and fight with them. If there were enemies behind them, perhaps they would have been captured by them by now.
Count Talba immediately ordered Rocruse in his army to shoot at the seven people in the distance.
That's right, Count Talba was awakened by the sharp arrow. Originally, he let his infantry go up and fight with these seven people directly, but these seven people all had excellent martial arts, and it was difficult to defeat these seven people in a short time. But now, Count Talba changed his combat method and let the Rhodok crossbowmen and long-range shooting to attack. Long-range shooting can make up for the loss of his own manpower, so this is the best way to eliminate them.
When Ailen and the other seven saw Count Talba using the Rhodok crossbowmen, they quickly picked up the simple shields on the ground. Although these shields only provided a small amount of protection, they could still block the sharp arrows.
Ailain and Mathilde, the two of them originally had shields, so their shields were the best, but the others were not so lucky. They relied on the simple shields of the Rock soldiers to provide a small amount of defense, which forced them to be injured by Rodo Crusoe's shooting. Although it was just an ordinary minor injury for them, it would still be a problem if they continued like this.
There is a certain chance that the crossbow arrows of the Rhodok crossbowmen can penetrate that kind of simple shield. After all, the attack power of the Lu sword is far stronger than the bow and arrow. The shields equipped in the hands of that group of Rhodok soldiers are all used to defend against bows and arrows.
Now, Ailen and the others suddenly felt that it would be better if the shield in the Rhodok video was better. Such a simple shield would not last long under such an attack.
At this moment, the seven of them could only pray in their hearts that Walls would come up quickly.
And Wals, who was at the bottom of the cliff, was looking for the sword.
Suddenly, a crossbow arrow suddenly fell from the cliff and hit Wals' feet. Wals picked up the crossbow arrow and could clearly identify that it was a crossbow arrow used by Rhodok crossbowmen. Wals, who had fought with the Rhodok Kingdom before, naturally understood and knew the standard equipment of Rhodok soldiers. He was very familiar with this crossbow arrow. Among the six countries on the continent, only the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Rhodok used crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrow that fell at Wals' feet at this moment was a crossbow arrow from the Kingdom of Rhodok. This crossbow arrow fell from the cliff, which undoubtedly told Wals one thing, that there was a group of Rhodok soldiers on the cliff.
The cliff was very deep, so Walls could not hear the sound happening above the cliff, but there were dozens of scattered people falling down the cliff. Walls could easily judge that Airen and his men were being besieged by a group of Rock soldiers.
Walsh also knew that the time he spent looking for the sword would be greatly shortened, so he immediately began his collection work. Lorimer only knew where the sword fell, but did not know the exact location of the sword. According to legend, the owner of the sword jumped off a cliff with the sword and died. Now if he could find the body of the owner of the sword, he would have a great chance of finding the sword.
This cliff is very special. There is no vegetation at all. I wonder if there are any strange life forms living here.
As Wals was thinking this in his heart, he suddenly saw a huge python appear in front of him.
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.
