Riding and Slashing

Chapter 8 Pirates
Klose is a battle-tested fighter who has repeatedly wandered between life and death, and he has never underestimated any opponent.But he never thought that he would be defeated so easily by a Buckley, and it was on the two-handed sword he was most proud of.

Attacking the opponent with the hilt is not an uncommon move, but the difficulty is to use it so casually and naturally, as if the sword has become one with the opponent.

But it was obviously a low-quality sword picked up by the opponent at random, right?
Obviously, this mainlander is a true sword master, and his understanding of strength, skill, distance, and position is far superior to his own.

As a great swordsman, he knew that after he was repelled by the hilt just now, the opponent would have plenty of time to charge up and chop him down with a sword.

But the opponent just stood there and waited, waiting for himself to rest for a while and continue fighting.

The opponent's confidence in victory is also higher than his own.

Klose has only seen people with this kind of sword skills and confidence in winning at the same time in the Mettenheim Death Squad—they are all big sword masters who are not young, and they have been immersed in the sword for most of their lives. veteran.

But the young man in front of him seemed to be at most 20 years old, even if he started practicing swords from the womb, he shouldn't have such skills.

Besides, mainlanders with such sword skills should have been famous long ago...

Klose lowered his head, looked at the bulging muscles on his arms, and then at Li Ang, whose physique was nearly half smaller than his own.

It is not necessarily technology that determines the outcome, but also strength.

As for strength... Klose felt that the differences in body size between the two had been fully demonstrated.

Although it would be disreputable to challenge again under such circumstances, Klose decided to try again for the freedom of the tribe anyway.

He raised his sword and lowered his head. After saluting again to express his apology, the big sword in his hand swung like a windmill.

This is a way of sacrificing one's life and fighting with the sword. For a moment, the shadow of the sword was heavy and the wind was loud, and Klose swung the giant sword with powerful strength, which really created an invincible effect.

If he was on the battlefield, he might indeed be able to chop off everything in front of him with his big sword—people, horses, or anything else.

But this menacing sword light quickly disappeared with a loud bang.

Klose stared blankly at the empty hand that had burst from the tiger's mouth, and stared in disbelief at Li Ang who was still holding a sword in front of him.

Li Ang just turned around and slashed diagonally, and the sword in his hand flew aside.

It looked like a triumph of sheer force.

The other onlookers from Mettenheim also looked incredible. No one expected that this young man could suppress Klose in a head-to-head duel.

How could there be such a terrifying power hidden under that 'slim' body?

This unscientific!

"Iron God is above!"

Klose dropped to one knee with a plop.

He knew that the young man in front of him did not surpass him in terms of strength, at most he was evenly matched.

However, this sword slashing obliquely along with the momentum of his sword, this swordsmanship using strength and grasping the timing, is something he has only seen in his life.The ingenuity of the opponent's movement was even far superior to those great sword masters he had ever seen.

All the people of Mettenheim also knelt down on one knee and began to chant their unique gods.

Then, Klose picked up the huge sword that had been obviously bent into an arc, held it above his head with both hands, and handed it to Li Ang.

"We swear allegiance to you to the God of Steel. The point of your sword is our battlefield, Your Excellency Li Ang."

Li Ang took the sword, led a dozen big men like mountains of meat, and led the golden-maned horse away from the arena.

Behind him was the fat boss Andrew and several servants with complicated gazes.

It's quite complicated - because Li Ang took away those big swords... Although they are just a few crude iron swords, the dozens of catties of iron alone are worth tens of dinars!
But Andrew obviously didn't intend to ask for it back. He knew that Li Ang was clinking poor now, and he probably wouldn't come back.

Besides, those Mettenheim people were not very friendly to him...

Moreover, Li Ang was followed by more than a dozen shirtless and muscular men—it was weird no matter how you looked at it, as if he had been summoned by a certain lady to deliver goods...

Well, some kind of indescribable business common among nobles...

Li Ang naturally felt that this scene was somewhat weird, but he had no time to think about so many image issues, and he had to leave here immediately.

Of course he wanted to take these great swords away. After all, this group of shirtless men didn't have any equipment right now—this was on the warm west coast. If they were in the northern border, they might be frozen to death.

So seize any opportunity to get some 'boots', after all, if these muscular men don't have weapons in their hands, they can't protect themselves.

He got these people for his own safety.

In Pendor's place, apart from the duel arena, one-on-one has never been advocated in other places... No matter how good his skills are, he can't stand up to group fights, and the Red Brotherhood, bandits and heretics everywhere will not fight him one-on-one.

Moreover, he had to go to Sarleon City to register as a pioneer lord, so as to ensure that he would not be killed by some nobles in the street.

But territory development is not a simple recreational activity, it needs to invest a lot of cost - such as equipment, such as food, such as housing construction.

This requires a lot of dinars.

But Li Ang's pocket is cleaner than his face now.

And now he doesn't dare to stay in the fog cage city, and if he stays for a while, he may not know what' accident will happen.

Li Ang quickly left Wucage City and headed east with this group of new recruits, but he was a little worried along the way—he had to make money!Without money, it is difficult to move an inch, and even the money to go to Sarleon City has not yet been settled.

But all the way was wilderness, and I didn't even see a village...

Only desolate hills and forests.

Just as he was thinking about whether the group of hunks would eat Alice when they were hungry, Klose suddenly seemed to have seen something, and said in a low voice: "Someone...it's those people!"

Before Li Ang could react, a group of Meittenheim people entered into a state of tension as if they were facing a big enemy, and even started looking for cover.

"what happened?"

Li Ang was a little confused.

"It seems to be the group of pirates..." Klose explained the situation in a low voice.

Fog Cage City is a good natural harbor, and there are many places along the coast outside the city where ships can dock.

In fact, the entire Fildsway Alliance—now a kingdom, except for some local nobles on the west coast, other upper-level figures were originally pirates, slave traders and smugglers from Vanskerry.It's just that it's all washed up now, and the former warlords, gangsters, and illegal businessmen have all become lords now.

So, seeing pirates off the west coast is not uncommon.

But the problem is that they have already traveled more than ten kilometers to the east. Klose saw this group of pirates in the valley-this place is [-] kilometers away from the sea, and there are no towns and villages around!
That's a little out of the ordinary.

How could the pirates gather in such a shitty place?

This group of pirates robbed Klose's employer in the nearby waters a month ago, and the employer left them and ran away.Klose and the others, who were unwilling to surrender, were smashed by the pirates, fell into the sea and fell into a coma, and then were sold to the nearest fog cage city.

As we all know, if a deal is made and the victim escapes, then most pirates should avoid the limelight.

But the shelter must be in a city or a town, after all—there are places where there are more people to hide people.

Unless, this place is a secret stronghold of pirates?

The surrounding Mettenheim men confirmed each other through gritted teeth, saying that this was the group of pirates who made them prisoners of war and slaves.

Because one of the pirates was carrying the weapon they were proud of - the Mettenheim two-handed sword.

But Li Ang suddenly became excited...

At sea, the Vanskerry pirates had few rivals indeed.

But now it's on land!

Still mountainous!

The group of strong men beside me are from Mettenheim, where the whole area is mountainous!
hey-hey……

"Guys, do you want to get your equipment back?"
