Riding and Slashing

Chapter 9 Use Your Skull as a Bowl

Seeing their own great sword and the opportunity to cleanse their reputation, of course the Mettenheim hunks will not be timid!

A group of people sneaked towards the valley.

It seemed that this was indeed the hideout of the pirates. After getting closer, Li Ang saw a cave.

A few pirates were lighting a fire outside the cave, as if they were cooking soup, with smoke curling up and the delicious smell of wild mushrooms coming.

Well, the setting sun is slanting, and it is indeed time for dinner... Li Ang's stomach groaned in response to the occasion.

And then, as if contagious, more voices representing hunger came, and the stomachs of the Mettenheim hunks rose and fell.

They looked at the big clay pot hanging on the fire, their eyes glowing green - it seemed that their desire for food was far greater than taking back the equipment...

Li Ang suddenly understood what Klose said, "As long as there is food to eat"...

The two shirtless and strong men seemed to be quite hungry. They raised the crude swords in their hands and planned to rush forward, but then they were pulled back by Li Ang.

Li Ang let the group of hungry hunks hide behind the mound first, and got off his horse, intending to step forward to check the situation—he was planning to launch a sneak attack.

He is actually not willing to do this kind of dangerous work, but who made his group of men unequipped... This group of people spent so much money in exchange for it. It's my own loss!
Although my chain armor is not a high-quality product, it has some defensive power, and the chain armor is blue-gray, which can be used as a protective color in the valley.

Therefore, if there is a possibility of a sneak attack, then definitely don't just face it.

But this pirate camp had obviously set up secret sentries. Li Ang had just touched it before he got close, when he heard someone from above the valley asking: "It seems that someone is there? Who is that!"

Unfavorable start, he was discovered tens of meters away from the entrance of the cave...

I looked at the place where the sound came from, but I didn't see anyone. The place where the sound came from was a small forest on the mountainside.

Of course, it is said that it is a mountain, but it is actually just a slope of more than ten meters high.

Li Ang's hands trembled, but he didn't draw out his sword, but pretended that he had never seen the world: "I... I passed by here, can I buy something to eat..."

After speaking, he spread his hands to show that there was no malice.

Klose was still very smart. Seeing that Li Ang didn't draw his sword, but was attracting the pirates' attention, he led two people around from behind the slope.

A pirate with a light crossbow emerged from the bushes on the hillside. He looked at Li Ang's appearance, then glanced around Li Ang, and pointed the crossbow at Li Ang.

The pirates in front of the fire also stood up, drew their weapons, and slowly surrounded him.

Li Ang suddenly felt something was wrong, because none of these pirates spoke, and their eyes were very wary.And the pirate holding a crossbow on the mountainside has been aiming for several seconds!
The pirates weren't fooled... not good!
Li Ang rolled on the spot suddenly, and heard the sound of "whoosh" piercing the air. Looking back, he saw a crossbow arrow deeply pierced where he was standing just now.

"Kill them!"

Li Ang shouted, then drew out his sword and rushed towards the nearest pirate.

If the sneak attack fails, then he can only be tough. These pirates are much more vigilant than he imagined.

A pirate shouted: "I'll use your skull as a bowl!"

Several pirates rushed towards Li Ang.

But then, a group of shirtless strong men turned out from behind the slope, rushed up screaming, and faced the pirates.

The crossbowman on the mountainside was reloading the string, but Klose rushed out from behind and cut it into two pieces with a sword.

Then Klose rushed down from the mountain and rushed directly to the entrance of the cave, just blocking a group of disheveled guys who heard the movement and came out to check.

Li Ang knew that the Mettenheim people came from a place full of mountains, and they must be very strong in mountain warfare.But he found that he still underestimated the fighting power of these Mettenheim hunks.

He can definitely charge directly...

These people from Meittenheim were running like flying on the hillside, and a dozen white shirtless men shuttled around in the mountains, making people dazzled...

Although they didn't wear armor and only five of them had swords in their hands, in this kind of mountainous area, the pirates were easily defeated by this group of tough men like a few chickens, and they couldn't even run away.

Li Ang could even just sit around and watch a movie, he just missed eating melon seeds.

It didn't take long for the battle to end, the pirates completely lost their combat power, and their men were not damaged in battle - except for one unlucky guy whose foot was pierced by a sharp stone, the others were basically uninjured.

Li Ang whistled happily, and now he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

As soon as the battle was over, this group of shirtless men began to drink the delicious mushroom soup in unison, completely ignoring the scattered corpses of pirates beside the fire.

Li Ang pursed his lips in distaste, found a clean helmet, put soup in it and went into the cave—the eating behavior of this group of foodies was so ugly that it was easy for him to think he was in a pigsty.

There is indeed some food and ordnance stored in the cave, and many of them are the original equipment of the strong men in Mettenheim—all of them are some large infantry armor, two-handed swords, and infantry hammers.

These steel armors have good defense, but are very heavy-this is the characteristic of Mettenheim's equipment, rough but practical.

However, this practicality is only for the people of Mettenheim.

Because these steel armors are all made very wide, only suitable for the huge body of the Mettenheimers.

Probably because of this, these armors were not sold immediately - they were too big, most Pendors would not fit them well, and it would be hard to sell them for a while.

In any case, the dozen or so shirtless men finally found their familiar equipment, and this team finally no longer looked like a "businessman" delivering goods to a lady's house, but an army.

It's just that Klose is still not very satisfied, and his face is quite grim when he inspects the spoils.

Li Ang could probably guess the reason for his bad mood—there were thirty sets of the same armor, but he only had a dozen or so Meittenheim men under his command.

There are only a dozen or so pirates here, and most of them are out of breath—this group of people from Mettenheim are quite ruthless, especially Klose, and there are basically no survivors.

Li Ang felt a pain in his heart. If he had known that these bastards were so good at fighting in the mountains, he should have sold his chain armor and replaced them with a few blunt weapons, such as infantry hammers—this way the pirates would probably die less. The captured captives can be sold as slaves for money...

But now, of the two remaining captives, one is lying in the cave—the pirate should have been injured a long time ago, and did not participate in the battle at all.

For Li Ang, this guy is probably useless, because he only has one leg, which cannot be sold...

And the other was a young man whose legs were shackled by iron shackles.

She looks quite honest, and looks quite... delicate.

Moreover, he wasn't handcuffed by Li Ang's group - he was taking care of the injured pirate in the cave.

No way, could these pirates be... Li Ang and Klose looked at this handsome young man, and they looked at each other, their eyes were a little unserious, obviously they both thought of some avant-garde things.
