From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 11: Only the head cannot be allowed

I don’t know when the deep forest has been free of the calls of birds, and the sunlight is shining through the gaps between the branches, shining a trace of water vapor rising in the sky.

On the grass, a beetle tried to escape from the direct sunlight, but was suddenly crushed by a foot wearing a shin armor.

Without warning, a rain of arrows attacked the entire camp like a poisonous snake spitting letters from the depths of the dense forest, covering the robbers who were excitedly packing their soft luggage.

The bandits who were working feverishly did not even have a piece of leather armor on their bodies, and several of them were bare in trouble, as long as they were hit by arrows, they were seriously injured, and if they hit the point, they were violently killed.

Looking at the bandit group that had been reduced by half, someone finally reacted.

“Enemy attack! The mournful whistle overshadowed the screams, and the axe crawled behind the wagon in panic to be a cover.

Was it really approached? What kind of mercenaries did that group of merchants find?

Soon, the pale-faced axe knew that he was wrong, because he immediately saw the city guard in standard armor surround the entire camp in an instant.

City Guard! It was the army, the regular army, not those mercenaries they had encountered before. Why did an army find here?!

The other side. Because he didn’t know how many opponents there were, Lann brought out a hundred of his subordinates this time.

Ordinary bandit gangs can slaughter some small villages after ten people, and it was really unexpected for Rann to meet a large gang of forty people this time.

But it doesn’t matter, the strength of the standard army lies in the number, coordination, and equipment. A dozen well-equipped soldiers can kill several times their own militia head-on, not to mention that now Lane still has a numerical advantage.

Perhaps this batch of newly brought out city guards still lacks some experience in fighting.

But Lan also happens to have a training mission of [City Defense Iron Guard] One.

What better target for testing the knife than these fierce rangers who have blood on their hands, but at this time they have no armor?

Rann rode slowly out of the woods, surrounded by more than a dozen knights. More than a dozen other archers and crossbowmen were scattered on either side of the knight, ready to go.

The lancers and shieldmen, who had been training for months, formed an encirclement in groups with good sword hands, and their helmets slightly covered the slightly nervous faces of the novices and their foreheads that began to secrete cold sweat, showing a cold and ruthless image, allowing them to slowly shrink and encircle the bandits.

“Which adult is out there?” The axe shouted miserably as he leaned against the back of the van and moved towards the place where the weapons were stacked.

“Be kind, we are just a group of traders, is there some misunderstanding in this? ”

In response to the axe’s plea for mercy, there was a neat sound of footsteps and the sound of swords drawn.

Finally, some robbers could not stand this sense of oppression, shouted and ran to the ground to pick up weapons and wanted to break through and rush out.

“Swish” was another breaking sound, and the soldiers who had already filled the string finally looked forward to the opportunity, and the arrows directly nailed the outermost bandits to the ground. Then all the shooters and crossbowmen turned and hid behind the cavalry.

It is not that they are afraid of being rushed, but the infantry has already met the enemy’s short soldiers at this time, and there is a risk of accidental injury if they shoot again.

The fierce bandits who have been stimulated by a strong desire to survive are indeed impressive, but every bandit who tries to break out of the encirclement will run into twice or even three times the number of enemies of his own.

They howled and slashed out with an axe, which was immediately blocked by a large shield half-human high, and then a spear or sword turned over from behind the shield.

More simply, three or four lancers tacitly marched together, hands forward at the same time. Three or four spears would then pierce the body of the oncoming enemy at the same time.

After paying the price of a few people again, or rather, these few people attracted the attention of most of the soldiers, and the remaining twenty or so bandits finally all took up arms and formed a simple formation.

On the periphery of the battlefield, the vice captain who was watching the battle was a little dissatisfied with the efficiency of these recruits.

“Lord Count, please wait a moment, soon the battle will be divided. ”

The vice captain wanted to say this to Lan, and before he could make a sound, a strong wind passed in front of him, where was Lord Count behind him?!

Only Rann’s mount was gouging in confusion in place.

There have long been robbers who have been staring at these knights, and when they see the young man who is surrounded in the middle who can see the leader at a glance rushing over, all the robbers are overjoyed.

Is there such a reckless noble young master in this year, when the enemy is about to rout, is he trying to help the opposite side turn over?

Immediately, three bandits couldn’t help but break away from the formation and rushed towards Rann.

“Lord Count!! All the cavalry shouted in panic.

The knights’ worries were clearly unnecessary.

I saw Lan blocking the first bandit who rushed over, pulling out the long sword at his waist at a speed that the other party could not react to, and at the same time stepping forward. The half-unsheathed blade just stuck in the opponent’s axe-wielding right hand, straight to the bone. From the perspective behind the cavalrymen, it was as if the enemy had actively hit Lan’s blade.

Drawing the sword with the momentum, the long sword was completely unsheathed while completely cutting off the enemy’s right hand. Amid the blood and screams of the enemy, Lan slammed his shoulders forward, and his thick shoulder armor knocked the opponent several meters away, turning into a rolling gourd with the bandit who rushed in the second.

The three measurements suddenly became one-on-one.

The third robber was about to react, but the noble boy in his eyes had already pressed the long sword into an impermeable wall at this time.

Such a quick swing of the sword should only be a temptation to force the enemy to show flaws, and the old robber instinctively wants to block around. But the strength coming from his hand was not at all the level of a tentative attack, but it was like the last blow of his life, and it suddenly made his wrist numb.

Then came the second one, the third one. The weapon came out in a blink of an eye, and the huge force carried the bandit back staggering, and then the fourth blow, slashing at the chest of the piece of armor.

Blood spilled, Lan kept twisting his waist for a moment, his right foot directly used the enemy’s corpse as a springboard to step hard, the right half of his body flew slightly into the air, and the hand holding the sword was raised above his head –

With a “pop”, the long sword passed through, and the dying severed hand robber was strung to the ground along with his companions.

The knights who were trying to come to the rescue and the robbers who were running here were stunned.

“Lord Count! “The infantrymen who were charging forward shouted, and their morale was like a rainbow.

All the soldiers cried out in their hearts, what could be more morale than their own officers going into battle in person, or even faster than their soldiers rushing faster and killing more enemies?

Surrounded by an even higher shout, Rann glanced at the rising XP inside the panel out of the corner of his eye. The experience gained from killing people is not as much as that of doing tasks, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat.

“Soldiers, rush with me! “He’s going to keep grabbing people’s heads!

Guys are going to fight!
