Lord Highlander

  Chapter 671 660. Profits

  Night is coming, and the afterglow of the setting sun is like a burning and steaming flame on the edge of the desert.

The desert robbers rushing forward seemed to be hitting a wall, and the sea giant mercenaries led by Captain Gabriel rushed to pieces from the front, and the reserve knights of the guard battalion rushed over from the left flank and entered the battlefield a little slower , the front of the oasis has become a mess.

Andrew led the veterans of the cavalry battalion to outflank from the right flank. They were average in riding skills, so they held their shields and spears and lined up to fight on foot. The queue of 200 people seemed to form a human wall at dusk, with a strong sense of oppression. The robbers subconsciously didn't want to break out from that direction.

At this moment, in the depths of the bandit camp in Tianshui Oasis, a bandit leader riding a white camel rushed out with a group of bandits. The bandits around him were also very tough thugs. They wore all kinds of leather armor, and they didn't choose to break through from the front.

The bandit leader went around in a circle and wanted to open his mouth from the right side, but just as they turned their horses, the veterans of the cavalry battalion raised their spears one after another. When they wanted to charge this way, the veterans did not hesitate Throwing the spear in his hand out.

   Throwing spears are several times more powerful than bows and arrows.

The bandit leader looked at the rain of spears falling from above his head, and turned around and ran with the bandits around him. He knew that if he was covered by the rain of spears, the light shield in his hand would not be able to stop the flying spears. Superb, the immediate turn around is done almost instantly.

   Even so, some slow-response robbers were thrown into the body from top to bottom by flying spears, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.

Suldak came up from the left flank with fifty reserve knights. The reserve knights were wearing dark full-face armor, and the knight spears in their hands were standard weapons in the guard battalion. Fifty knights lined up in a line, like It's a wall of steel.

These college graduates had only gone out to experience a few times before, and it was the first time in their lives to participate in this kind of melee. With the sound of killing, the fear in their bodies was almost quickly dissipated by the blood in their bodies. Accompanied by the sound of killing, they followed Su Erdak rushed up behind him, not even knowing how to raise his shield to block.

However, due to their excellent equipment, their faces were covered behind their visors. At dusk, these robbers didn't even see that they were a group of yellow-billed fledglings. He was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to resist, so he desperately followed behind the bandit leader's white camel, trying to break out of the encirclement.

  The other women and slaves in the Tianshui Oasis were so frightened that they all went into the tents in the oasis and dared not get out.

Just when the bandit leader hesitated a little, not knowing which direction he should go to break through, two mercenaries rushed up, but were stopped by the confidant behind the bandit leader. The long swords in the hands of the two mercenaries were cut off, and the scimitar in the leader's hand was cut forward again. A deep wound was cut on the chest of one mercenary, and the other mercenary took a big step back sideways. escaped.

It was just that when he retreated, he was kicked down by the robber on the side, and he was about to be hacked to death by the random blade. Behind him, a phantom of a knight holding a sword and shield appeared, and the phantom became frozen amidst his angry shouts In an instant, a pale golden shield stood in front of his body, blocking the scimitars that came down one after another.

  The mercenary took the opportunity to roll around on the sand, avoiding the bandits' chaotic blades, but because he and another companion rushed too far forward, they were still surrounded by the bandits.

At this time, the mercenary group that came up from the front had already cut down more than 20 robbers. Captain Gabriel saw that the bandit leader was gathering the remaining robbers, quickly forming a resistance force, and saw that some mercenaries were struggling , not daring to neglect at all, and rushed towards the bandit leader with the strongest subordinates in the mercenary group.

Before Captain Gabriel rushed over on his horse, he saw a big man jumping into the side of the two mercenaries surrounded by bandits like a god. He was wearing simple armor and was holding a broken bone in one hand. The big stick, with a round swing, broke the two robbers at the waist, and forced a dozen or so robbers to retreat.

  The iron fist clenched by the other hand slammed into the head of a war horse that was bumping into it head-on. There was a muffled sound of cracking melons, and the war horse was smashed until its seven orifices bled, and the horse and man fell to the ground.

   Immediately, the ogre Gullitum let out a violent roar in the crowd.

  The battle howl of the ogre frightened the four hooves of the surrounding horses, and they refused to rush towards the ogre no matter what.

  The bandit leader riding a white camel had a phantom of a wind wolf behind him, bearing the brunt of attacking Gulitum. Under his leadership, the rest of the bandits had the courage to fight back.

   Just as he rushed forward a few steps, a sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of his heart, causing all the hairs on his body to explode, standing on end.

The bandit leader seemed to be suffocated in his chest. He was terrified and forced his body back, flat against the back of the white camel, and three sharp arrows came quietly and silently among the chaotic crowd, sticking to him. The cheeks flew away without a trace.

  The bandit leader's heart froze for a moment, knowing that he was being watched from a distance by a marksman, he even wished he could turn into a groundhog and hide himself in the sand.

   At this time, Weilu, who was standing 50 meters away, was also taken aback for a moment, and the phantom of the sharp arrow slowly disappeared from behind. Unexpectedly, the sure-kill arrow was narrowly dodged by the bandit leader.

He saw a veteran of the cavalry battalion was knocked to the ground by the bandit with a scimitar. He raised his hand and drew his bow to shoot an arrow. The arrow could hardly see any flight path in the dark dusk, and it pierced through the bandit's back The point of the arrow protruded from the forehead between the brows, the robber's body was frozen at the moment when he raised the scimitar, his body was driven forward by the inertia of the arrow two steps forward, and there was a kind of pre-death look in his rounded eyes. In despair, he fell to the ground.

Andrew on the battlefield was like a lunatic. He was wearing Suldak's 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure. Behind him appeared a pair of eyes full of killing and blood. He ignored the weapons swung by the robbers around him. Andrew's body was scratched several times, but each scar represents a robber's fresh life being forcibly deprived by his butcher.

The 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure belongs to heavy armor, and each piece of armor is mixed with some hard magic black iron. It is difficult for the machetes of the bandits to cause substantial damage to the armor on Andrew's body. Even the 'earth shield' on the magic pattern structure was not activated.

  The veterans of the cavalry battalion only need to follow Andrew to make up the knife.

  A 'halo of power' emerged from under Suldak, and the reserve knights following him all felt an inexplicable power surging in their bodies.

The bandit leader sat up straight and didn't dare to chase the two mercenaries any more. Seeing Suldak rushing up from the left, followed by a group of guard battalion knights in standard armor, he didn't dare to confront Suldak. Touch, seeing the soldiers surrounded from all directions, he called a group of men to retreat towards the sweet water oasis behind him.

How could Captain Gabriel let them get into the rime-covered poplar forest? Members of the mercenary group rode on horseback, showing off their 'potential' one after another, and instantly gained an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. The robber was cut down to the ground.

The ogre Gulitam and Captain Gabriel caught up with the bandit leader almost at the same time. Commander Gabriel pierced the bandit leader's back with a spear in his hand. The bandit leader couldn't dodge while riding on the white camel, and rolled to the side , and jumped off the hunchback.

  Gabri regiment also jumped down from his horse, and instantly fought with the bandit leader.

  The subordinates following the bandit leader were about to rush up to help, but they were entangled by the mercenaries chasing up from behind.

  The mercenaries are obviously stronger than these bandits, but there are so many bandits that it is hard to tell the winner in the melee.

Gulitmu reached out and grabbed the white camel's reins, and dragged it to the ground, with his legs on the white camel's body, his hands around the white camel's four hooves, and he skillfully took out a hemp rope He **** the white camel firmly, and then planted a small flag next to Shake off...

   "Gulitham, what are you doing?" Andrew shouted angrily at the ogre not far away.

Andrew on the battlefield was like a powder keg, and the ogre didn't dare to provoke him, so he quickly got up from the ground, swung the bone-crushing stick in his hand, and knocked a robber who was just about to slip past him. After smashing his head, he smiled naively: "I'm marking my loot!"

  Andrew cut down the robbers in front of him, rushed to Gulitum, and said loudly: "Hurry up, don't let these robbers and horses get away!"

  The bandit leader held two knives in his hand and strangled Captain Gabriel together. From time to time, a phantom of a blue wolf solidified and bit towards Captain Gabriel.

Not to be outdone, Captain Gabriel showed the golden-armored warrior behind him, and every time he stabbed his spear, there was white energy. The bandit leader couldn't stop the energy at all. Stabbed bloody.

   Seeing that the other mercenaries did not take the initiative to help, Suldak joined Andrew and Gulitum and began to deal with the bandits who were still resisting.

   These robbers were blocked by a dense poplar forest behind the sweet water oasis, and surrounded on three sides, there was almost no way out.

Viru has always stood at the back of the team, he will not take the initiative to shoot those robbers, only the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and guard battalion will draw bows and shoot arrows when they are in danger, and help them solve the problem before they fall. opponent.

  Gulitum probably felt that since he had robbed the white camel, he should kill its former owner, so he rushed forward without any scruples.

It just so happened that at this moment the bandit leader raised his two knives, daring to risk his chest being pierced, he locked the spear in Captain Gabriel's hand with his two knives. He picked up the stick, and with a strong wind, it slapped the bandit leader's back heavily.

   All the buckles of the bandit leader's chest leather armor snapped open instantly, and twenty-four ribs exploded from his chest cavity like the tentacles of an octopus, protruding through his chest.

  The robber opened his mouth in his hand, and spewed out some **** pieces of meat. His body was folded back to the extreme, and he flew forward more than ten meters away.

  When a group of stubborn robbers saw the tragic death of their leader, they lost the last bit of courage to resist and fled in all directions.

Captain Gabriel looked at the ogre angrily, but Gulitum didn't seem to notice it at all. He ran over, picked up the sharp scimitar that the bandit leader dropped on the ground, and ran to the corpse over there. , Remove the scabbard as well.

  The mercenaries following Captain Gabriel couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to talk to Gullitum for an argument, but Captain Gabriel stopped him with his hand.

  A group of mercenaries began to quickly clean up the mess.

   This battle was almost over in just half an hour.

   When the battle subsided, just as night fell, Suldak led a team of 300 people to occupy the Sweetwater Oasis. The veterans of the cavalry battalion quickly cleaned the battlefield and counted the spoils.

Suldak ordered people to cut down several big poplar trees, and lit a huge bonfire in front of the Tianshui Oasis forest. All the robbers who were killed were stripped of their clothes and thrown into the fire almost naked. The veterans in the cavalry battalion would not dislike broken leather armor or blood-stained clothes, but they also knew the rules. Even a piece of rag was neatly piled up and placed on the side of the fire.

   All the gold and silver coins were collected into a purse, the leather armor weapons were piled up in piles, and some personal belongings were also piled up together.

  The corpse twitched constantly under the raging fire, making slight noises, and finally turned to ashes in the fire.

The horses and camels of these robbers were sorted out by special staff. Many horses were cut and wounded during the battle. The lightly injured horses were put together with the uninjured horses. The seriously injured ones were killed on the spot and bled, and were cut into pieces of horse meat. .

  Gulitum squatted aside, watching the butcher kill the horse with relish, but held back and didn't reach out.

  The mercenaries of the mercenary group cut off the heads of the robbers they killed on the spot according to the previous agreement with Suldak, and piled them together. The other trophies were also carried away by the veterans of the cavalry battalion.

Suldak kept his word and counted them on the spot. Thirty mercenaries killed a total of 86 robbers in this battle. They counted 430 gold coins from the purse and handed them to Gabriel on the spot. Captain Gerry.

Then Suldak began to gather the injured people in this battle together, regardless of mercenaries, veterans, or the group of reserve knights who were too excited in the battle but had no effect, as long as they were injured, they would gather together. In front of a tent.

This tent originally belonged to the bandits from Tianshui Oasis. Suldak walked into the tent and drove out a group of women who were hiding in the tent trembling with fear. The treatment of the injured is still based on the priority of the seriously injured, and the wounded are treated overnight.

  Andrew led a group of veterans from the Cavalry Battalion to search the entire Tianshui Oasis. This time, he harvested more than a hundred horses and more than 60 camels...
