“Jeffrey, Palos, Caius, Livia!
You and I will be in the front, and the rest of you will be responsible for protecting the archers and Lady Natalia."
Honasan was the first to rush forward, while shouting loudly to the others nearby.
His arrangement was undoubtedly the most appropriate. The guards were carrying backpacks full of supplies, which they could not take off for a while. Instead of letting them meet the enemy together, it would be better for them to stay behind to protect Anders and the old hunter to prevent anyone from bypassing them or letting some of them slip through the blockade in front of them and attack the people behind them.
As for Pierre, the double-blade man of the trio, it can only be said that his weapon is a bit too short, and it is easy for him to fail to defend when facing multiple enemies, so he was not asked to meet them together, but to stay behind with the guards.
Paros strode out of their formation, even going to meet the enemy before Honasan, and squeezed into the middle of the bandits alone, swinging a heavy axe half a person's height in front of him.
“Ahhh!
! ! "
With screams, he killed the four bandits in front of him with one swing of his sword. Broken limbs, sticky internal organs and blood scattered everywhere, and the surroundings were instantly dyed red.
“Woohahahaha!”
Paros laughed wildly, and his hideous smile made the surrounding bandits retreat away.
Livia watched his crazy, violent fighting style and finally understood how he got the name "Butcher", which did not just mean that he liked to torture his enemies.
Phew!
He dodged the attack, moved behind him, and beheaded the bandit in front of him with a sword. Caius looked at Paros who was making a lot of noise on the side, "This guy..." Caius held the sword in one hand and swallowed. He had to admit that he was probably no match for Paros if they really faced each other head-on.
Ping!
bite!
Boom!
Compared to them, Jeffrey, the leader of the trio, fought in a much more clever way. He first blocked the opponent's attack with his shield, and when the opponent attacked with all his strength for the second time, he gently used the shield to block his body and retreated, taking the opponent's force with him. The opponent used too much force and lost the resistance in front of him, and staggered forward. At the same time, he turned sideways and smashed down with a nail hammer. This technique of pulling and unloading force made Livia take a few more glances and learn from it.
Honasan, as the first person to rush forward, was surrounded by three or four people. Not to mention killing the enemies, even blocking and dodging were a bit chaotic. Of course, Livia could see that he had not yet used the power of a supernatural being.
Although the weak extraordinary is not much stronger than ordinary humans, it is difficult for him to even kill one person under the siege of dozens of well-trained soldiers. However, he was facing only four bandits, whose attacks were disorganized, not to mention the coordination. It was simply terrible and they were holding each other back.
Livia didn't look at anyone else, and focused on the two robbers rushing towards her.
Watching them rushing towards her with their weapons raised and full of fatal flaws, Livia chuckled and quickly passed between them. Whoosh!
The steel sword was unsheathed, turning into two afterimages that stabbed out, "Puff!"
Phew!
Two streams of blood spurted out, and before the two robbers could react what was happening, their eyes went dark and they lost consciousness.
Livia took two steps back to avoid the spurting blood, then turned to look at the other bandits. The bandits opposite him saw him turning around and looking at them, and hurriedly took a few steps back. The next moment, no bandit dared to rush forward. Livia and others formed a standoff with the group of bandits. Anders and the old hunter also stopped. The old hunter was fine, as he still had a dozen arrows in his quiver, but Anders only had two arrows left in his quiver. In fact, there was nothing wrong with not stopping.
Natalia watched quietly from behind. She was not worried at all. She could tell at a glance that the attacking bandits were a mob, and they seemed to have no order at all, as if there was no one in charge.
Thinking of this, she frowned. Something was not right. Not to mention how there could be bandits in the Gray Demon Forest where few people come throughout the year, how could these nearly forty bandits, with only more than twenty left, not have a commander or leader? How did they gather together?
bass!
Suddenly, she drew the sword from her waist, turned around and fought back, puff!
Phew!
Ping!
Two sounds of flesh being pierced and a sound of metal colliding were heard at the same time. Livia and others in front heard the sound and quickly turned around to look, only to see a man suddenly fall down under Natalia's sword. Some distance behind him, a guard knelt on the ground with his hands covering his neck, his eyes wide open, and blood kept flowing out of the gaps between his hands. Behind him, stood a man holding a sharp dagger and wearing the same clothes as the man falling in front of Natalia, and blood was dripping from the dagger in his hand.
On the other side, the double-bladed man Pierre was turning in an extremely awkward position, holding a short blade in both hands and confronting a dagger in front of his neck.
drink!
"Pierre looked at the man who suddenly attacked him from behind and gritted his teeth. The attacker who was looking at him also understood something from his eyes. He quickly clenched his empty left hand and punched him in the abdomen. Pierre suddenly loosened his left hand and pulled out another short blade from his waist in an extremely fancy way. He rotated it and accurately stabbed the attacker's neck. The attacker's eyes widened in disbelief, and his fist fell down powerlessly halfway. Pierre felt the power on the dagger decrease, and the short blade in his right hand turned, avoiding the dagger and stabbing it straight into the attacker's eyes. After this blow, the attacker's body completely collapsed and fell to his knees.
Everything happened in just a few seconds.
Assassination?
Livia frowned, he didn't feel it, after all, perception is very mentally exhausting, although his spirit is as high as 24.1, and there is also the recovery bonus of the wizard apprentice silver ring, but it is impossible to open it 24 hours a day, especially in battle, maintaining such a wide perception will consume more, just now he only spread the perception around half a meter.
But these two assassins were able to approach silently. You know, even without mentioning perception, his hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people, but even so, he was not able to detect them.
The assassin who killed the guard saw that his other two companions had failed, and began to retreat quickly when Livia and others began to look over.
whoosh!
The sound of breaking air came from his side. He reacted quickly and leaned back, but it was too close. Even though he reacted very quickly, he was unable to dodge it.
The arrow penetrated his left cheek and pierced his entire face. The kinetic energy of the arrow pushed him to the ground, and blood formed a pool on his head.
"Hu, hu..." The old hunter who shot the arrow was panting, his hands trembling a little. After all, he was old, and his body could not bear to pull the bowstring to full length and shoot it in an instant.
"Caius, go back, and the rest of you, come with me to kill these guys!"
Honasan's strong voice sounded, and Honasan was still the first one to react besides Livia. Although Livia reacted quickly, he had been thinking about something, and he did not intend to interfere in the command of the situation. He just wanted to complete the task while ensuring his own safety.
