The wolves were approaching, and the oppressive aura was enhanced by Roddy's sudden appearance, which made the faces of Buffon and Henry even more ugly.
Under such a critical situation, Buffon couldn't think about the question that Roddy just raised. He was surprised to see that Roddy didn't notice the crisis at all, but he also kindly reminded: "Your Excellency, you should be careful behind you, this pack of wolves... I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."
That's what I said, but in Buffon's view, these three people are probably not enough to be a wolf...
When I looked over, the encirclement of the wolves had shrunk further, and they were obviously ready to attack.
The sweaty fat man Henry stared at Roddy closely. His mind was better than Buffon's, but at this moment, he couldn't see any other emotions from this strange guy's face... In the end, he didn't even pay attention to the voice behind him, and didn't even change his expression.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen: the guy is either deaf or crazy.
But Roddy holding the shortbow is definitely not deaf, so Henry can only temporarily regard him as a desperate lunatic.
"You can't beat these wolves."
Roddy used an affirmative sentence, without a questioning tone. Buffon and Henry didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward. Although they knew that what he said was the truth, they didn't want to give in at this time. Buffon frowned and said, "It's up to you to fight, but I think you should Are you not interested in accompanying us to die?"
"Of course I won't die, I just want to make a deal." Rody slightly raised the short bow in his hand.
"trade?"
Buffon and Henry were completely stunned, unable to react to Rody's intentions for a moment, and because they lost their vigilance for a moment, the wolves caught the gap in an instant and launched an attack immediately
"damn it"
Buffon cursed in a low voice, but he could only watch helplessly as the wolf in the lead charged forward—the opponent was extremely fast, and just the most direct leap and pounce made Buffon feel unable to deal with it for a while... wanting to face it head-on block? His thin body can't stop him at all, he wants to hide, but Henry is behind him, he can't hide at all
This wolf pounced from the side, obviously it took the thinnest Buffon as its priority target, and even completely ignored Roddy—obviously, in its view, these humans in front of it were no threat at all
But when the wolf's body stretched out in the air and was about to open its mouth to bite Buffon's head, a cold light suddenly bloomed in its vision...
Buffon raised his sword, but blood splashed on his face the next moment.
"click"
When the sound of skull shattering sounded, Rody's figure had already stepped out to the side—with just one knife, the upper half of the wolf's head was cut off directly.
The scene that happened after that completely stunned the two mercenaries who were about to fight to the death.
When the wolves were besieging, they were as fierce as the tide, and the two wolves following behind attacked Roddy, still pounced, but after jumping up, they found that the human in front of them instantly crossed two meters, and easily dodged them The attack—the wild wolf that lost its target landed and turned around, but its body suddenly shook before it could adjust...
"Puff—"
There was an arrow in the wolf's eye, and the two wolf corpses fell silently to the ground.
Within five seconds, the three wolves died without a sound. When the strong smell of blood came, Buffon and Henry had already lost their abilities...but this seemed to be just the beginning.
Holding the short bow, Rody repeated his shooting action expressionlessly, the arrows poured out crazily, and the wolves that were tossing and moving fell down a large piece immediately. Two of the wolves seemed to realize something, and they whined twice and turned around to run away, but after a bowstring buzzing sounded, all the wolves fell to the ground and died no matter whether they were attacking or fleeing.
The ones who were facing Rody were shot in the head by arrows and died; the two wolves who were running away facing Rody were shot in the back and died without saying a word...
Those who have no hunting experience can hardly imagine the shock brought by this scene. The speed of fire is no longer something to be amazed at. What Buffon and Henry are very clear about is...even if the wild wolf is used as a target standing still, they will never be able to kill the opponent with a single blow when the opponent's back is turned to them. die
When hunting in the forest, the shooter usually only has one chance to hit, and unless this hit hits a vital point like the heart, it is difficult for the prey to die in a short time. In most cases, the prey loses blood and dies after the arrow escapes... and it usually takes minutes to hours to track down the prey.
But when everything happened right now, Buffon and Henry were the ones who could feel the horror best: the two wolves with their backs to Roddy were both shattered by an arrow and pierced through the heart at the same time.
The arrow was shot into the wolf's body obliquely from the rear. This angle was unimaginable because normal people would only aim at the wolf's buttocks, and it was impossible to cause fatal injuries by the angle when the arrow fell.
But now the obvious fact is...the opponent not only hit the vital point, but also did it twice in a row
Nine wolf corpses lay all around. Rody put down his short bow, turned his gaze back to Buffon and Henry, and asked again: "Repeat the question just now: Are these two... mercenaries from Kig Town?"
In the face of this absolute power suppression, Buffon and Henry immediately understood the current situation. Buffon wanted to say something, but Henry replied first: "We have stayed in Kig Town for ten years, what can you do for help? , although tell us"
Henry's rush to answer surprised Rody, it seems that this fat man's brain is indeed not slow. He didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his intention: "Hire you for three months."
This is not a negotiation, and Roddy didn't intend to negotiate, because he was in an absolutely active position.
Buffon wanted to say something again, but fat Henry grabbed him and replied, "My name is Henry, and his name is Buffon. We agree to your request without any problem."
His decisiveness made Buffon a little puzzled, but the thin man didn't question the fat man's decision, but just nodded to express his approval.
"Then it's settled." Roddy nodded, and continued: "The employment period is three months, and the salary is based on the standard of Keig Town. I can find someone to treat your injury. If there is no problem, come with me now .”
He was about to turn around, but as if thinking of something, he added: "You can call Rody, I have only one request for you now: keep quiet when encountering anything you don't understand."
"yes"
Without further ado, Henry stretched out his hand and asked Buffon to pull him up—he, who was about to give up his life just now, regained his vitality as if he had returned to life. Buffon's reaction was a little slow, and he could see that he was still a little confused. But he picked up the fat man on his back and followed Rody's footsteps without any hesitation, obviously trusting Henry's decision 100%.
Rody glanced at the two mercenaries behind him, narrowing his eyes slightly... He never does meaningless things, this is his eternal code of conduct.
Buffon walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, wondering what Roddy's last sentence "keep quiet" meant, but when he raised his head and looked forward, he almost threw the fat man out...
Six wood elves holding short bows appeared silently on both sides of Rody, and an old elf stood beside Rody, talking with Rody while looking at them
"This this…"
Buffon stopped, dumbfounded.
"Wood elves" have always been just legends for the mercenaries in Kig Town. Although some people say they have encountered them every year, it can be confirmed that this rare race has almost no intersection with humans.
But right now, these wood elves seem to be...following Rody
"Shut up and keep quiet"
The fat man lying on Buffon's back patted him, but his mind was a little confused. The appearance of the wood elves was hard for him to accept, but he couldn't let him lose his ability to think. But when a group of people came to Elsa Village, he couldn't help feeling indescribably amazed...
He was actually in the wood elf's village
And those wood elves even saluted Roddy
Who the hell is he? Why do you respect Rody so much
The attitudes of the wood elves towards Rody couldn't be faked at all, but when their eyes turned to the fat man and the thin man, it seemed much more complicated.
The two of them didn't understand the reason at all, they just felt that the eyes of several strong elves holding short bows in the distance were cold. This made Buffon feel as if he had entered a different world. Several times he was startled and wanted to speak, but the fat man covered his mouth at the very moment.
"No fuss"
The fat man looked calm, but in reality he didn't calm down. He glanced at all the wood elves nearby, and he didn't feel the joy when he came into contact with the secret, but he was inexplicably flustered—generally speaking, seeing something that shouldn't be seen means that he has gone to the "no return" Thief ship"...
But so what? Lao Tzu's life can be regarded as being retrieved with his help, so what about getting on a pirate ship
He quickly adjusted his mentality, and then found that Rody in front of him was stopping in front of a tree hole and talking to the people inside.
"Buffon, when it's time to shut up, you must shut up. If you can't do this, don't call yourself a mercenary."
But after saying this, he saw Buffon swallowing with a dull expression.
"Gudong."
Why the hell is this guy so shameless? Henry followed Buffon's gaze, and immediately felt struck by lightning—the appearance of the wood elf Nata was only described as "amazing" to them, but seeing Roddy's indifferent face, the fat man was He didn't dare to have any extra thoughts... He grabbed Buffon's neck fiercely, and said viciously through his teeth: "Don't fucking look at it"
Before he had time to say anything else, the fat man suddenly felt dizzy, and then his whole body fell to the ground with a "thud" - he almost burst into tears from the pain, and cursing out of breath, "Buffon, what do you want?" Ush-"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head and opened his mouth, staring blankly at the figure climbing down from the tree hole in front of him...
"Buffon? Henry? Are you all...alive?"
