Harvey was forced back by the thieves' attacks, and finally his back was almost touching the carriage of the carriage, standing together with Richard.
Harvey's arms trembled irregularly, glanced at Richard, and gasped: "Hey, Richard, did you see my performance just now? I have unleashed my potential and become better than Knights are great at everything. In this case, there is no need to look for any nobles to be loyal to them.
You can go directly to the kings of some small countries in the north, and you will have a better future. Maybe, when the king of a small country sees how powerful I am, he will be happy and marry his daughter to me or something, and my life will be perfect. "
Harvey obviously had no doubts about the sudden increase in strength, and was very "confident" in blaming it on his own potential. Richard could only smile and shake his head in his heart, and then said: "That will indeed be perfect."
"That's right, it's perfect." Harvey was very sure, but then he became frustrated, unwilling, and even angry: "But damn, I'm so powerful, but I'm still trapped here with so many thieves, and I feel aggrieved. Die! I really don’t want to do this, I really can’t reconcile myself to it.
By the way, if we hadn't encountered a business group with no loyalty, the ending shouldn't have been like this. If there is an afterlife, I must remember this lesson: when traveling far away, you must find a reliable, low-charge, and loyal business group! "
Richard: "..."
The thieves around him continued to approach. Harvey tried to swing the sword, but found that he could no longer carry it. He was desperate and prepared to die. Richard's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought seriously about how to deal with the situation in front of him:
The first option is to attack directly and forcibly kill all the thieves. This requires some effort:
The second option is to take action, but you don't have to kill everyone. Just kill a few people to prove your strength and let the thieves know their facts and let them go. It will take less effort than the previous option.
The third option is to give Harvey a few more drops of "Evil God's Power" and let the opponent rise up and kill until all the thieves are killed or defeated. This requires very little effort, and can also collect data on how ordinary people have used the "power of the evil god" many times.
The fourth option is to call Pandora out of the Garden of Eden and give her a look to understand. There is no need to worry about the rest, even the spell to atomize the "power of the evil god".
So which one to choose
As Richard was thinking, suddenly there was the sound of a large number of fast running footsteps from far away on the road. Turning around to look, Richard, Harvey and many of the thieves were startled, and saw that the members of the business group who had successfully escaped the ambush rushed back for some reason, looking very ferocious.
this!
After looking at it, Harvey got the strength from nowhere. He raised his iron sword and swung it to scare away the surrounding thieves. He loudly said to the thieves: "Haha, you are finished. Someone has come to save me. You are dead!" "
After saying this, Harvey looked at Richard again and said excitedly: "I wronged them. I really wronged them. It's not that they are unloyal, but they are very loyal! In their hearts They must be thinking of us, so they came back.
The reason why they rushed out just now was because they were afraid that the goods would be damaged during the fight, so they settled the goods first and then came back to rescue us. Well, it must be so, it must be so! "Harvey has good reasons.
Richard blinked, but he didn't quite agree with Harvey's reason, because he keenly discovered that the people who came back to the business group were very abnormal. Even if no one was injured, most of them were injured, and some people had arrows clearly stuck in their bodies, spurting blood as they ran as fast as they could. The muscles on his face were twisted, and his eyes, eyebrows, and nose were squeezed together. It didn't look like he was angry or eager to save people, but more like fear and panic.
Richard thought, looking behind the merchant group, he saw another group of thieves appearing, holding crossbows, bows and arrows, chasing the merchant group and shooting at the same time.
Obviously, the people from the business group did not come back to rescue with good intentions, but were ambushed again and had to run for their lives before returning. None of the members of the mercenary team who were supposed to maintain the overall situation were nowhere to be seen. They might have been killed in an ambush.
The bandit leader wearing an eye patch obviously knew about this situation. When he saw the people who had escaped, he glanced at Harvey again and said sarcastically: "Are we dead? Huh, you are all dead, okay? Still! Do you remember that I said before, 'Don't run, don't run, you will regret it if you run'
Do you believe what I say now? ! Let me tell you, I never tell lies. If you don’t listen to me, you will definitely not end well! "
At this time, the people from the business group ran nearby, and were not surprised to be stopped by the thieves with knives, and crowded together with Richard and Harvey.
The thieves armed with bows, arrows and crossbows caught up and, together with the thieves who stayed behind, surrounded everyone. Everyone's face was ashen.
The leader of the thieves wearing an eye patch sneered at everyone: "Run, run, run, can't run now?"
At this time, he was angry because he had spent so much effort and failed to capture Harvey. After receiving reinforcements from his own side, he immediately issued an order to the thieves holding bows, arrows and hand crossbows impatiently: "You all, give me Aim! Aim at each of their heads. After hearing my order, release arrows together and shoot them all to death. I'll see how they can resist!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, the thief holding a bow and arrows and a hand crossbow quickly moved his hands to load the arrows on the hand crossbow and fully string the bow.
When people in the business group looked at this situation, some people already had a mental breakdown, crying incessantly, and even became incontinent.
Bard, the leader of the business group, was also extremely nervous at this moment. Although he had the face of a butcher, his eyes were as wide as a little girl's, and his lips could not be opened or closed.
Harvey sighed. He originally thought that things were getting better, but he didn't expect that things were getting worse instead of getting better.
The only one who could still remain calm was Richard. He rolled his eyes and thought of the way to deal with it again: With so many arrows aimed at him, it might be too late to call Pandora out. Let Harvey take in the "power of the evil god", but Harvey is a mortal after all, and he doesn't know how to use power rationally. He can kill a few people at most and be shot into a hedgehog.
It seems that the only way to go is to take action personally. Whether it is killing all the thieves or killing some of the thieves, you have to do it.
Although he has always avoided trouble when he could, avoided exposing his strength and identity as much as possible, and regarded fighting in person as a last resort, that was all he could do at the moment.
Thinking like this, Richard made a decision.
Next to him, the thief leader wearing an eyepatch slowly raised his hand to give an order. Richard slowly lowered his hand, and the short energy-storage staff in his sleeve naturally slipped into his hand, preparing to clear the area with a wave of spell barrage. .
The thief leader wearing an eye patch raised his hand higher and higher, reaching the limit. A trace of cruelty flashed across his face, and he opened his mouth to make a sound.
That's it!
"ah!"
A scream, which sounded extremely suddenly, spread throughout the entire place, and successfully interrupted what the thief leader wanted to say.
Turning around, he saw a thief's body swaying and falling straight to the ground - a black-feathered arrow was nailed to the back of the thief's head, the arrow penetrated deeply, the arrow shaft was exposed and trembling, and blood flowed from the wound. gurgling outflow.
this!
