Lord Highlander

  Chapter 736 725. Battle of the Firm

A team of cavalry from the garrison camp was fully armed and rode ancient Bolai horses through the lively market. Pedestrians on the street immediately gave way to both sides of the street to make way for the cavalry. The metal armor reflected a dazzling light under the scorching sun. , The knight's spear on the saddle carried a chilling air.

  The residents of the small town only saw this team of cavalry stop in front of the trading house and confront a group of mercenaries at the entrance of the trading house.

  These mercenaries are armed groups formed by the trading firm for many years. They are usually responsible for the security of the firm. When the goods of the trading firm are transported to Wilkes City, they are also responsible for escorting them.

The mercenaries are all hired by the boss of the trading firm from the mercenary guild. Every mercenary has the strength of a first-rank warrior. They are usually arrogant in Dodan Town, and almost no one dares to mess with the armed group of the trading firm. Group of people.

More than half of the mercenaries in the armed regiment have magic-weave constructs in bulk. This kind of magic-weave construct can only enhance a specific ability, which is far less balanced than the complete set of magic-weave constructs for knights. There is a big gap between the strength and weakness of the magic pattern structure, and the value is also very different from a dozen magic spar to dozens of magic spar.

  The weapons in the hands are even more varied, all kinds of long-handled weapons, war spears, axes, clubs, swords, war hammers, flails, longbows, and daggers.

   It was such a group of mercenaries that surrounded the trading firm tightly, preventing the cavalry from the garrison camp from approaching.

  Manager Anthony stared at Suldak with a cold face, and said, "Do you really need to make this matter so serious?"

  He pursed his lips with a ridiculous sense of superiority on his face.

   Standing in the lobby of the trading house with a posture of winning, he looked at Suldak in front of him.

  Six mercenaries strode out from behind Manager Anthony, surrounded Suldak and the two cavalry squadron leaders, and there were even mercenaries guarding every door of the business.

   "All irrelevant people, please leave the trading house." A squadron leader beside Suldak shouted.

  There were not many customers in the hall of the trading firm. Seeing the swords drawn inside and outside the hall, they immediately stopped trading and rushed to leave this place of right and wrong.

   For a while, there was chaos in the firm.

  When Manager Anthony saw the customers leaving the firm in disorder, the last smile on his face cooled down.

  He said with a sullen face:

   "It's hard for me to do this. Originally, our trading firm and the Commander did not offend each other, but now you are openly challenging the bottom line of our trading firm. I would like to ask why you closed down the trading firm?"

   "Didn't I just say enough?"

  Suldak turned around and took a look outside the door, then walked towards the outside of the firm.

  Six mercenaries wearing half-body magic pattern structures stopped in front of Suldak. Four of them held swords and shields, and two of them held spears, blocking the way in front of Suldak.

  …

   "Irrelevant people, please get out of the way!"

  The cavalry squadron leader scolded these mercenaries.

   At this moment, on the street outside the trading house, the captain of the cavalry squadron also shouted: "All dismount!"

  The sound of armor rubbing was extremely ear-piercing.

  The street outside the commercial house was full of heavily armed heavy cavalry, but instead of riding horses and holding knight spears, they dismounted and lined up one after another, holding knight long swords and knight light shields, and quickly lined up.

  A squadron leader giving orders:

   "Columns of cavalry prepare...forward!"

  The sound of uniform footsteps, like the slow sound of war drums, knocked into the hearts of the onlookers one after another.

  'Ho! '

  All the cavalry drew out the knight's long sword, which looked very powerful.

The expressions on the faces of the mercenaries guarding the door of the business also became tense. Their shoulders were shoulder to shoulder, and they pointed their weapons at the slowly approaching cavalry. The temporary human wall was also aimed at the cavalry. They bumped away.

  …

  Suldak's feet glowed with a faint halo of power. Although he was not wearing a magic pattern structure, or even any heavy armor, the aura of a knight had already emanated from him.

   He stared at the mercenaries in front of him.

  The magic pattern structures on these mercenaries were flashing with magical halos, and the weapons in their hands pointed directly at Suldak.

  Suldak glanced down at the noble badge on his chest, and walked towards the door of the trading house.

A mercenary stopped in front of Suldak, reached out to hold his shoulder, and smiled at him in a joking tone: "Commander, if I were you, I wouldn't be walking out of the trade right now." The firm..."

   Before he finished speaking, the sharp sword that had been turning into white light shot in from outside the door.

   With a "poof", it inserted into the mercenary's arm.

  The tip of the arrow protruded from the other end of the arm, and the tail feathers of the fine steel arrow were still trembling.

  The mercenary looked at his arm with an unbelievable gaze, and let out a scream.

  He stared at the door of the trading house hall, but did not see the archer outside, and the other three mercenaries also looked towards the door in horror.

   Noticing that there was no one behind them, two mercenaries held round shields and guarded the direction of the door.

   Several mercenaries looked at Surdak again, trying to stop him.

  The wounded mercenary clutched his injured arm, strode out of the business hall, and ran outside to look for the archer who shot his arm through.

  Suldak stepped forward.

  Another mercenary stopped in front of him again, he was a little nervous, and touched the long sword at his waist with his right hand.

  The moment he drew his sword, an arrow flashed through the door again. This arrow seemed to appear in front of the mercenary out of thin air, and shot through the wrist where he drew the sword.

  The two mercenaries standing with shields didn't even see where the fine steel arrows came from.

  They looked at Suldak in astonishment, and the expressions on their faces were no longer relaxed.

  Suldak walked forward again, but the remaining four mercenaries dared not step forward to stop him.

He walked out of the trading house, only to see Samira wearing a salamander tight leather armor, standing on the roof of the shop across the street, holding the hunting bow of the 'withering painting' in his hand, the condensed 'Potential' is quietly dissipating.

  The right half of her face was even covered with red bloodshot eyes, and her right eye also changed from light red to blood red.

  Obviously, in addition to using his own 'potential', he also mobilized the power of the elf blood in his body.

   Even the recovery power of the 'Blessed Body' couldn't suppress the hidden wounds on her body.

  Manager Anthony watched Surdak walk out of the lobby of the firm. He was a little afraid of the archer outside, so he hid his body behind the counter, but poked his head out and looked outside.

   At this time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted sharply:

   "What are you waiting for, Master Hai is waiting for others to demolish the trading firm? Do it!"

  …

The mercenaries standing outside the trading firm heard someone yelling "do it" in the firm. These mercenaries are usually used to being arrogant and domineering in Dodan Town. up.

They also knew that the full-coverage heavy armor on these cavalrymen was very strong, so they used the magic pattern structure on their bodies at the first time, and saw some magical gleams on the mercenaries, and the 'potential' behind them was almost at the same time. Emerging, the weapon in his hand unleashes a full blow with various postures.

The strength of these mercenaries is indeed higher than that of the cavalry, and they also have the attribute bonus of the parts of the magic pattern on their bodies. When they collided with the heavy cavalry, they immediately cut down the row of heavy cavalry in front of them. .

   Immediately after, they pounced on the heavy cavalry in the row behind, and the second row of heavy cavalry only had the power to parry.

  For a while, the mercenaries and the heavy cavalry fought together, and the cavalry were obviously at a disadvantage.

   However, two squadrons came from the cavalry battalion, which has an absolute advantage in numbers.

These cavalry are also battle-tested veterans. They faced stronger evil spirits and Nacoma people on the battlefield, and they all have the power to protect themselves in front of evil spirits. Therefore, although the battle started with some It was chaotic, but the veterans of the cavalry battalion immediately stabilized the situation.

  With this sturdy heavy armor, several people dealt with a mercenary.

  At the same time, Andrew, an aboriginal warrior of the Nanai nationality, rushed to the front with a butcher's ax in hand.

  Although some of these mercenaries are fighters who are close to the peak strength of the first turn, they do not have the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure.

  Relying on his own 'Berserker's Soul', Andrew basically trades injuries for injuries on the battlefield.

  He immediately activated the 'Earth Shield' on the magic pattern structure, which helped him block three attacks and knocked down the two mercenaries in front of him.

   The ogre Gullitum stood in the crowd, and all the mercenaries and cavalry present were taller than his chest.

He was holding a bone-crushing stick, and the mercenary on the opposite side aroused the 'momentum' in his body as soon as he saw Gulitum, and a phantom of a crusader swordsman holding a big sword appeared behind him, Swing a sharp sword at the ogre.

   The ogre Gullitum also had some quaint totem patterns on his body, and the bone-crushing stick in his hand was facing the phantom.

The big bone-crushing stick brought a sharp wind to block Xuying's sharp sword. The phantom quickly dissipated behind the mercenary. With one strike, his skin was hard as rock, but a wound was cut by the sharp magic sword.

Gulitum flew into a rage, and raised his elephant-like thigh to kick the mercenary. Behind him, a mercenary with a shield took a step forward and raised a spiked iron shield to meet him. to the ogre.

'boom'

  The ogre's knee was on the spiked shield, and the heavy force knocked the spiked shield mercenary back and flew a few meters away, hitting the stone wall of the trading house with the man and the shield.

  The white ash on the surface of the stone wall showed spider web-like cracks. The mercenary leaned against the wall and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Gulitum's knees were also pierced with several **** holes by the spiked shield. The ogre let out a deafening roar under the severe pain, swung the bone-crushing club in his hand, and slashed the bone on his waist. The mercenary with a sword stopped him, and swung the bone-crushing stick out. The mercenary couldn't avoid it, and blocked it with his sword hastily.

  A sunset sword made of red steel was curled like a piece of scrap iron after being smashed by a bone-crushing club.

  The tiger's mouth of the mercenary holding the sword was also shattered by the huge force, and his body rolled on the ground, only to avoid the ogre's kick in embarrassment.

  Gulitum stepped heavily on the stone slab, and immediately shattered the stone slab under his feet.

  Suldak walked back to the cavalry, and the aura of knight power on his body immediately came into play, and the combat power of the entire cavalry squadron increased a bit.

The cavalrymen were not worried about being injured, and there was no psychological pressure such as "can't afford expensive healing potions". Almost every cavalryman showed an extremely firm will to fight. Although they collided with each other at the beginning and suffered a little loss, the battle situation Stabilize now.

  Especially when Andrew and Gullitum showed their power at the same time.

   In a few steps, the mercenaries blocking the door were smashed to the point of being helpless.

  The cavalry guarding behind Andrew only needed to hold shields to block the enemies on both sides of his body, and prepare ropes to tie up the fallen mercenaries one after another, and the mission was completed.

  There are a lot of people in the cavalry battalion. Although someone is injured, they will be replaced immediately by the cavalry on standby.

   Gulitum rushed to the wall of the trading house, and smashed the bone-crushing stick in his hand against the stone wall of the trading house.

   ‘Boom’

  A stone wall collapsed in, revealing a hole in the wall that was as tall as a person.

The momentum on the side of the cavalry battalion rose sharply. The mercenaries guarding outside the firm saw that there were fewer and fewer people on their side who could fight. A group of cavalry formed a human wall and pressed towards the firm. They scattered like birds and beasts.

  The cavalry grabbed some mercenaries who were injured on the ground.

   Only a few of them saw that the situation was not good, and quickly fled from the back door of the firm.

   At this time, he was hiding in the trading firm and realized how big a hornet's nest he had stabbed. He regretted that he should not have spied on the transactions of the natives of the Warcraft Forest, and rejected the transaction of the commander of the garrison camp's cotton coats, blankets and other items.

   In a panic, he wanted to stop the fleeing mercenaries, but found that the waiters in the business were also running away.

The fighting stopped quickly, but the battle scene was a bit cruel. These mercenaries used weapons during the battle, and at least fifty cavalrymen were injured. However, these mercenaries did not get cheap and were caught by the cavalry Nearly sixty mercenaries lived there and almost everyone was injured.

  In addition to these mercenaries, there are more than forty mercenaries who escaped from the back of the business in the chaos.

  Suldak did not let the cavalry take the risk of chasing them, but directly emptied all the people in the trading house, and several gates were sealed.

  The waiters in the firm who wanted to resist, together with Anthony, the manager of the trading firm, were all arrested by the cavalry.

  Manager Anthony was standing outside the firm with his hands tied with hemp rope, watching the firm being sealed. The veins on his forehead were raised, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he shouted in a hysterical voice:

   "Stop! Have you considered the consequences? The supporter behind our trading house is the representative of Wilkes City."

  Surdak walked up to Manager Anthony, lowered his head, stared at him and said:

   "You have to make it clear that we are the garrison of Dodan Town. Any armed force that is not registered with the military is a factor of instability in the town. As the military and political officer of Dodan Town, I have the right to contact your armed groups."

   After finishing speaking, he rode on Gu Bolai's horse.

  Andre reached out and touched the blood on the armor, followed behind Suldak like a monster, and shouted at the three wounded cavalry squadron leaders beside him:

   "Take them all!"

   At this time, Samira across the long street also disappeared on the roof.

   I owe the latest reward update first, and I will have time in a few days. I owe 21 chapters so far, and I will try to pay back a little every weekend.
