Chapter 27027: Thank you, Your Excellency
The robbers were still in shock after Enrique, a man with knight-level strength, died suddenly and inexplicably. The mercenaries swarmed over them and immediately threw them into disarray.
These were not well-trained elite soldiers, and the reason they had been able to go smoothly before was mainly due to Enrique's strong strength and effective command.
Without this important pillar, they are just a mob.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The situation became a one-sided massacre. Faced with the aggressive mercenaries, the bandits were unable to organize any effective resistance.
"Run, run!"
"The leader is dead, run away!"
Seeing the bad situation, more and more robbers fled, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses and quickly scattering like birds and beasts.
After the battle.
Knight Karl left a small number of mercenaries to help set up camp on the spot, and he took the rest to the nearby forest to bury the bodies of their companions.
Life on the edge of a knife is like this. You may die in the wilderness at any time for unknown reasons. It is too difficult to transport the body back. Generally, after an accident, they are buried on the spot. Mercenaries will also follow the traditional simple funeral.
As for the remaining bodies of the bandits, except for those on the wanted list like Enrique who will have their heads chopped off and taken back, the rest will be left exposed in the wilderness, and the jackals and crows in the forest will deal with them.
In a corner of the newly built camp, there is an independent tent, which was specially arranged by the team for Luo Xi to rest.
Although it was mostly due to "luck", it was indeed Rosie who killed Enrique with a hammer, and it was precisely because he killed Enrique with a hammer that the crisis was easily resolved.
In order to express their gratitude, the team specially arranged a tent for Luo Xi after the camp was built. Several businessmen also came to express their gratitude and gave him a bag of thank-you money.
At this moment, Luo Xi stood in front of the tent, holding a wooden stick in his hand and gesturing with something, with a thoughtful expression.
He was thinking about a question -
Is it possible to combine magic and swordsmanship?
This was the inspiration brought to him by the previous battle. Although the knight's power was very limited, it was not completely useless.
Take the previous battle between Knight Carl and Enrique for example, the two men moved quickly in a small area, and the clash of the two cross swords was dazzling and eye-catching.
In the early stage, wizards are relatively "cumbersome". They do not have the skills of flash, acceleration, etc., and they are not good at speed. If their proficiency in spells is not enough, they need to stand still and concentrate on reciting spells to cast spells.
During this period, the wizard is completely a sitting duck, relying entirely on his own defensive spells for protection. Once the defensive spells can no longer hold up, he is doomed. There are many wizards who have died while chanting spells.
"If we can integrate magic into the knight's martial arts, can we avoid these problems to a certain extent?"
The biggest problem of the knight is the lack of strength. Pure physical damage is okay in the human world, but it is useless once it comes to the elemental level.
But if you combine magic with swordsmanship, for example, you can swing a wind blade while swinging the sword, or attach a spell that can freeze the opponent when fighting with the enemy in close combat, and so on.
It's exciting just to think about dealing with the enemy with nimble body movements and then finding the right opportunity to counterattack with swordsmanship combined with magic.
In fact, Luo Xi had this idea when he was in the castle. He also asked Alan for advice on swordsmanship. However, Alan came to the wizarding world before he received any swordsmanship training, so he didn't know much about swordsmanship.
Because there was no physical object for reference, Luo Xi put this idea aside until it was reactivated after seeing the knights' fight just now.
'It's definitely worth studying...'
At this moment, several people came over. They were the mercenaries led by Knight Carl.
"Sir Luo Xi." Knight Carl walked over.
Luo Xi stopped thinking and went forward: "Knight Karl, are you feeling better?"
He looked at Knight Carl's waist, which had been simply bandaged with a circle of white bandage.
Knight Carl said generously: "It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning."
The knight's physique is truly amazing. If an ordinary person had suffered such an injury, he would have been basically ruined for life even if he survived by chance. However, Knight Carl is still alive and well, and apart from his pale face, there is basically nothing to tell.
After a pause, Knight Karl said, "We are here to thank you."
Luo Xi smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm also a member of the team. Besides, this is also luck, isn't it?"
"No!"
Knight Carl shook his head: "You were able to stand up in that critical moment, which is the greatest help to us."
In Knight Karl's opinion, Rossi's greatest achievement was not killing Enrique with a hammer, but bravely standing up to boost morale when their mercenary group was low and about to collapse.
After all, if Luo Xi had not stepped forward at that time, their mercenary group would have collapsed with just one charge, and they would have either been killed or escaped.
Even if a few members managed to survive, their reputation would be completely ruined and no employer would hire such a cowardly mercenary group again.
When Luo Xi stood up, the morale of the mercenaries also rose. If a fight really broke out at this time, even if they were defeated in the end, they would at least retain their honor and there would be a chance to make a comeback in the future.
Knight Carl raised his right hand and tapped his left shoulder hard, which was a knight's etiquette.
He saluted earnestly and said, "I, the Red Wolf Mercenary Group, would like to thank you for your assistance. The Red Wolf Mercenary Group would like to express our highest gratitude to you."
The mercenaries behind him did the same thing, banging their left shoulders.
"Thank you for your assistance, the Red Wolf Mercenary Group would like to express our highest gratitude to you!"
Seeing how solemn they were, Luo Xi put away the smile on his face, and also tapped his left shoulder to return a knight's courtesy: "I accept it."
Karl then took out a round bronze plate and handed it to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi asked in confusion: "What is this?"
He took it in his hand and looked at it. It seemed to be a badge. A wolf's head was carved on the front, and the words "keep the oath" were engraved on the back.
Carl said: "This is the emblem of our Red Wolf Mercenary Group. I engraved the word 'swearing' on the back."
"Take this badge. If there is any need for our Red Wolf Mercenary Group in the future, you only need to take this badge to find any member of my group. I, Carl, will keep my promise!"
Although there are villains like Enrique, most knights still respect the spirit of chivalry. It is their spiritual sustenance and also the foundation of their survival.
Strong strength is important, but in the human world, strength alone is not enough.
Oaths, honor, chivalry, the interpersonal relationships, beliefs and rules built around them are the core factors that enable knights and nobles to become the ruling class and to ensure long-term peace and stability in the world.
Luo Xi grinned, and then handed the badge back to Knight Carl: "Isn't this a coincidence? I just happen to need help from Knight Carl."
