foreigner's journey

Chapter 553 Windfall
Above the hill, a slender boy with blond hair was looking down.

His companions have all been dispatched, swearing, putting on their armor and running down as fast as they can, ready to support Griffith, the leader of the Eagles.

Only this kid named Rickett did not participate in the battle. He was too young to be assigned chores such as [cleaning armor and weapons], and he did not have a sword, shield and armor suitable for his thin body.Although he never lagged behind others in normal battles, only the crossbow was suitable for him.

Protruding his small head from above the hill, Rickett's face was half buried in the grass, and he looked at the two strange men below with trepidation.

They were all black-haired, and one was a little older than himself but still a child, but held a huge sword taller than a person in his hand, and overwhelmed Gorkas and Casca with his hard power, it was really amazing.Looking at Gus, Rickett showed admiration. He has a thin body, so he admires those fighters with high martial arts skills. Gus's image perfectly fits his definition of "strong".

As for the other...

Rickett looked at Heather again. At this time, Heather, who was wearing a black robe, was strolling in the courtyard surrounded by the swords and swords of the members of the Eagles. Every time it seemed that a weapon was about to hit him, he would be caught almost Move your body a little ahead of time to avoid it, and when you are interested, you will use the long wooden stick in your hand to turn the weapon back, and then you will hear a corresponding scream.

It's really amazing, just like the stories that Rickett heard from passing travelers in the village when he was a child. In the stories, there will always be a wizard or witch with evil magic power. They wear black robes and hold magic wands. Heroic knights cast spells or use weird magic.Of course, at the end of the plot, the wizard will be killed by the knight, and in the end the knight will win a big victory and embrace the beauty.

This one-armed wizard... Rickett frowned, seemed to be a little bit more powerful than those in those stories?But no problem, because the head of the Eagle Group is the invincible 'White Eagle' Griffith, there is no enemy he cannot defeat.Rather, Griffith is the perfect protagonist in Rickett's dream.

Clang!
The knight sword swung by the perfect protagonist in Rickett's dream was easily blocked by Heather's staff.

Griffith's strength, which can match Guts's full swing of the sword, can't even chip off even a little bit of sawdust on the surface of Heather's wooden staff. Through the interlaced weapons and eagle beak helmet, Griffith's eyes are looking directly at the sea. Ser, the latter's eyes are full of joking smiles.

"Tsk tsk, is this the only thing you can do? I'm starting to wonder if I need to reconsider my invitation to you... Well, it's not bad this time."

Heather deftly swung the staff away from Griffith's knight sword, and turned sideways twice, as if dancing an elegant close-to-face waltz with a woman in the air.

A huge mace bombarded Heather's previous location, even blasting a pit in the ground, sending stones and dirt flying everywhere!
The squinting giant pulled out the mace from the pit with one hand, stepped forward silently and continued to wave the mace at Heather, and the surrounding companions immediately made room for the giant in tacit understanding.

Heather smiled and swayed the wooden stick left and right, dodging all attacks lightly, and commented in a relaxed tone:

"This shot is not bad, this shot is crooked, oh, this shot is powerful, and it almost hit me, so dangerous, so dangerous! I said big man, you also have 'qualification', what's your name? Oh, It’s a silent type who doesn’t like to talk. It’s okay, I’m also this kind of person, we’ll definitely find a common topic if we work hard... Woohoo! So insidious!”

Before he could finish speaking, Heather suddenly swung his wooden staff and shot down several flying knives that were coming from tricky angles.

A figure flashed past, and immediately used the crowd to hide his figure after throwing the throwing knife.Judging from the skill level of medieval weapon fighting, this is already an excellent throwing and hiding skill.

"Not bad, I thought it was a bunch of crooked melons, but I didn't expect so many rough jades to be hidden in a small mercenary regiment. Stop playing hide-and-seek, your companions will not be able to hold on?"

Heather laughed, and waved the wooden staff again, knocking the flying knives flying accurately. The flying knives spun and inserted into the gaps in the armor of the members of the Eagle Group, splashing a lot of blood and screaming.

There was a 'tsk' sound from the crowd, and a dexterous figure turned over and jumped onto the back of an unowned war horse.This is a young man with pigtails. He doesn't look tall but his exposed arms show streamlined and strong muscles. Only the vital parts of his body are covered by hard leather armor. A cowhide belt is tied obliquely on his chest. Throwing knife.He was still holding three throwing knives in his hand, but he didn't shoot any more. Obviously, he could see that Heather would not be restrained by his own throwing knives at all, so he curled his lips:
"You dare to say that you are the same silent type as Bibin?"

"Oh, this old man's name is Bibin. What about you?" Heather once again turned sideways to avoid the mace thrown by Bibin, and looked at the young man with braids.

"Jedu, at your service." Jiedu squatted on the horseback, and pretended to bow to Heather.

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the giant Han Bibin, and he swung the mace in his hand vigorously without making a sound, and the muscles in his arms bulged, and he smashed it down violently.Heather leaped high to avoid this powerful blow, and was blocked by three throwing knives as soon as she jumped into the air. At the same time, there was a secret piercing sound from behind. fatal stab.

The wooden stick swirled, and all the flying knives were swiftly pushed aside and led to Griffith behind him. At the same time, the end of the stick handle lightly touched the hammer head of the Bibing mace, and with the help of strength, Heather jumped again. Together, they avoided the thrust of Griffith's knight sword behind him.

He made a beautiful arc in the air, landed right in front of Gus who was trying to take advantage of the chaos, and shook his finger: "My recruiting process is not over yet, you can't take advantage of the chaos and escape, little wolf cub .”

"...My name is Gus, remember my name when you go to hell!"

Gus let out a breath, clenched the giant sword in his hand and leaped forward, and joined hands with the rest of the Eagle Group for a short time to launch a fierce attack on Heather.

He finally understood that he would never be able to escape easily if he didn't defeat this black-robed monster first.Since they are all mercenaries, then this group of mercenaries who were also teased by this guy must understand what I mean, right?

The moment Gus swung the giant sword, Griffith immediately jumped off the horse and attacked Heather from the side holding the knight sword. Although it was the first time for the two to cooperate, they had a tacit understanding.Gus' greatsword is powerful and heavy as the main striker, while Griffith's knight sword swung at high speed and tricky angle is the decisive and deadly attack.

At the same time, regardless of physical exertion, Bibin continued to wield the mace to create opportunities for Gus and Griffith.And Casca also drew out her long sword to join the battle, and Jiedu continued to shoot flying knives not far away.

"Hahaha, it's so interesting, so interesting, you people are really interesting!"

After wrestling with the crowd for a while, Heather suddenly burst into laughter. She swung away the attacks of Gus and Griffith with her wooden staff, and after a few vertical leaps, she escaped from the siege of the Eagle Group and jumped to the top of the hill.

He easily rotated the wooden staff in his hand, and looked down at the people below: "I saw several excellent pieces of uncut jade today, I am very happy, although it didn't particularly make me feel...huh?"

Heather paused, and looked down at her feet.

A slender boy with blond hair was lying on the grass, looking up at Heather stiffly.

The moment he saw the boy, Heather's eyes lit up.

This child... is super suitable to become a person with the ability to read!
