Chapter 228: The Mercenary Group "Death Sword Spreader" Attack Begins
Around the road below the hillside, a large number of people were busy. At a glance, there were dozens of them, and it looked like they were setting a trap.
In such an environment.
The blue-haired man was lying leisurely on the slope all the time. No one dared to disturb him, or even let the blue-haired man work together.
This is the privilege of the strong!
The blue-haired man held a toothpick in the corner of his mouth and looked up at the night sky, slightly dazed, even though more than half a year had passed.
That world-renowned battle still appeared in his mind from time to time and was constantly reviewed, although he had reviewed it hundreds of times or more.
That was the first defeat he had ever suffered since he was born.
Come to think of it! That guy actually fought a woman to a draw.
The blue-haired man paused while biting the toothpick, and thought of the news that came from the royal capital some time ago, with an unhappy look on his face.
"She was able to single-handedly exterminate two noble clans, including her own family, and even escape the empire without any hesitation. She is indeed a cruel and terrifying woman."
"He looks like a very powerful person. I really want to fight him."
The blue-haired man thought silently in his heart, and with his hands originally resting behind his head, he pulled out one arm and gently placed it on the long sword at his waist.
Speaking of which, there are indeed not many strong women. After all, women are far inferior to men in terms of physical abilities alone.
In recent years, there is a female adventurer team called "Blue Rose" that seems to be very famous. They should be a group of relatively powerful women.
Step——Step——
Heavy footsteps approached from not far away and stopped next to the blue-haired man.
"You're quite laid back, Brian."
A rough and hearty voice came.
Brian lazily raised his eyelids and looked at the burly man standing next to him with short blond hair, a beard, and arms as thick as an ordinary person's thighs.
At first glance, that cheerful appearance easily makes people feel good about him, but in fact, he is not a good person, and can even be described as bad.
This blond burly man is the leader of the mercenary group "Sword of Death Spreading", a guy named Fecompa. Brian guessed that this name was fake.
As for the real name.
Brian wasn't interested in knowing: "Are you sure they'll go this way?"
"Of course, my friend, it is not difficult to guess."
"Even though he has monsters like evil spirit dogs as horses to travel, the alchemist will deliberately stop for a while to sell potions in every village and city he arrives at."
Captain Ficompa opened his mouth with a bright smile on his face and licked the corner of his mouth: "This gives us a lot of time to prepare."
Brian sneered: "Ha."
"You are really confident. No wonder. Even the long-established Mithril-class adventure team Rainbow in E-Rantel failed. You have the right to be confident."
There was a gleam in Brian's eyes, which was the excitement of a hunter seeing prey worth hunting.
Seeing Brian's interested look, Captain Ficompa's smile became even brighter, and he was certain in his heart...
To be honest,
Brian, the renowned swordsman, would actually join their mercenary group. Even Captain Ficampa himself found it hard to believe.
"The genius alchemist seems to be short of money as he keeps selling potions." Brian raised his arm that was resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist and put it behind his head, changing into a comfortable posture.
Snap! Snap! Captain Ficompa patted his tense neck vigorously, his eyes showing a hint of excitement and bloodthirstiness: "Who would have thought that powerful alchemists are always the ones who make money quickly and spend money quickly."
"I only know that the other party sold so many alchemical potions, so he should have several hundred gold coins... maybe even thousands of gold coins."
"Hahaha, plus the bounty is really exciting. You can afford the knife you've been eyeing after completing this job."
Brian remained expressionless and nodded imperceptibly.
He needs to make himself stronger. In addition to training his physique, skills, and martial arts, weapons are also a way to increase his strength.
Magic weapons are very expensive, but what Brian is looking for is not just magic weapons.
In the far south, weapons that came from desert cities have performance superior to ordinary magic weapons even without enchantment.
Such weapons are, of course, prohibitively expensive.
The weapon he had his eyes on was worth about 5,000 gold coins. An ordinary person could not earn so much money even if he worked hard all his life. This was not wealth that could be obtained through normal means.
so.
Brian had just joined this mercenary group of about 70 people. Compared to the messy restrictions on adventurers, the mercenary group did not have so many rules.
You can kill people to hone your martial arts skills, and you can also get a lot of money! "The alchemical potion of 5 copper coins has a better healing effect than the recovery potion of several silver coins. It is so cheap and cannot be preserved for a long time..."
After a brief silence, Brian suddenly murmured to himself, "Oh, alchemy potions sold exclusively to civilians? That genius alchemist seems to be a good person."
Captain Ficompa was speechless at first, then he couldn't help laughing: "Good guys? Hahahaha, we are a bunch of bad guys!"
"That's true."
Brian also let out a low laugh.
The night gradually faded away.
A dazzling golden light began to appear in the eastern sky.
A carriage pulled by evil hound monsters came along the road in the distance and appeared in the sight of the "Death Spreading Sword Group".
“Here it comes!”
Captain Ficampa lay on the slope, his eyes fixed, and spoke in a low voice.
One side.
Brian was still lying on the slope with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep. But in fact, he had not slept at all the whole night, but was conserving his energy.
He is confident, but he will not underestimate his opponents.
The genius alchemist, the green-haired magic chanter girl, and the evil dog monster are not simple minor characters.
"Everyone get ready. Take action immediately if you fall into the trap." Captain Ficampa quickly gave orders to his men.
More than 70 members of the mercenary group all drew their weapons, with fierce looks in their eyes.
Daytime is not suitable for attacks - that's what normal people would think, but Captain Ficampa wants to do the opposite.
Experienced adventurers tend to relax their vigilance during the day compared to at night.
Under the expectant gazes of the mercenary group members, the carriage finally approached the location of the trap they had set.
They dug a deep pit there, and the bottom was filled with sharp iron spears. Even if you didn't die if you fell into it, you would be injured.
Under everyone's eager gaze.
suddenly!
The carriage that was originally moving along the road suddenly stopped, and the evil dog monster in front looked around vigilantly.
This action caught everyone in the mercenary group off guard.
"Were you discovered?"
"How is this possible!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Did the trap reveal any flaws?"
"Impossible. Even an experienced thief would not be able to detect the trap we set in such a short time if he does not observe carefully."
"Could it be magic that detects traps?"
The mercenaries whispered in amazement, after all, the other team did have a powerful magic caster.
"It's really frustrating." When Captain Ficampa saw that the carriage did not fall into the trap, a ferocious look appeared on his cheerful face.
"Take the second countermeasure!"
As the order was conveyed.
The voices of discussion paused, and dozens of sounds of breaking through the air rang out at the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Crossbow arrows shot out simultaneously from the hills on both sides, densely covering the carriage.
now!
In the carriage.
"It's been so long since I encountered attackers. I thought they wouldn't dare to attack. But it looks like there are quite a few of them this time."
Tang Zheng raised his hand to his forehead and saw a large number of crossbow arrows shot from the small hills on both sides of the road. There was a hint of interest in his eyes.
Ever since we dealt with the Mithril-rank adventurer team last time, not only the assassins from Igenia, but even the ordinary attackers disappeared all of a sudden.
This time they were attacked again.
Then the attackers are at least stronger than the Mithril-level small adventurer team.
“Plants grow!”
The hands of the Green Leaf Witch glowed with emerald green light.
Green vegetation grew out of the carriage in the blink of an eye, wrapping the entire carriage. The crossbow arrows shot from all directions were all knocked off the carriage when they hit these resilient plants.
On the other hand, the evil hound easily resisted the crossbow attack with its flexible body and swinging bone chains.
"kill!"
"Take them down!"
“……!!”
A large number of mercenaries armed with weapons rushed out from the hills on both sides at the same time.
"Fireball!"
"Lightning strike!"
Blazing flames and a beam of lightning also immediately burst out from both sides of the hill.
The straight lightning strike with this penetrating effect has the fastest speed and flies to the front of the evil dog first at the speed of lightning.
Even if the evil dog noticed it, it couldn't avoid it.
"Magic armor!"
The steady voice of the Green Leaf Witch sounded, and a layer of translucent magic armor appeared on the body of the evil dog.
Bang! The lightning struck heavily, exploding on the surface of the magic armor on the evil dog, knocking the evil dog back a distance.
"roar!"
The evil spirits roared angrily, and used all four limbs to lie on the ground to steady their bodies. Blue arcs of electricity spread across their bodies, and their black hair stood up.
Another "fireball" attack landed on the carriage protected by the growing plants.
With a loud bang, the fire-attributed attack clearly had a restraining effect on the plants, and it easily blasted a big hole, and the raging flames swept in.
“Damn it!”
The Green Leaf Witch was shocked and angry.
This level of magical attack naturally posed no threat to her. What really frightened and angered her was that it affected her master.
"Ah." When Enli saw the raging flames, even though she had gained a lot of knowledge during this period of time, she still couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and closed her eyes in fear.
BANG!!
There was no expected pain. When An Li opened her eyes again, she found that Tang Zheng was standing in front of her.
Crash——
The aftermath of the heat wave created by the flames blew the white priest's robe, making it rustle.
"A very targeted attack method." Tang Zheng's gentle voice sounded.
Enri's originally panicked and frightened mood calmed down with the voice. Her light brown pupils reflected the white figure: "Captain..."
"I feel relieved." Tang Zheng chuckled.
