"This is your first battle." Even though the opponent was an infantry squad of thirty people, Regnar didn't show any nervousness on his face. He just said calmly to Irene: "Don't force yourself. , if there is any danger, notify me in time and I will appear by your side."
"Okay... ok..." Irene stammered in reply. She could not be as calm and composed as Regnar. Her opponents were all heavy infantry wearing armor and holding heavy swords. Even if there is only one, it can make the previous Irene tremble with fear, and now even if she has become a tenth-level priest, she will inevitably still be afraid when facing more than thirty burly men.
"Don't be afraid. Your mission is to protect yourself. Defense is fine. Attacking is our business." Seeing that the half-elf girl was extremely frightened, Regnar could only comfort her again.
"Why are there only four people?" The infantry captain led by him frowned. Their mission was to transport a batch of trophies from the front line to the rear, but these four guys suddenly came out and put on a good posture, as if they wanted to Have a fight with them. But... are they idiots? There are only four of them!
Although he could see that these four people should have extraordinary strength, he still didn't believe that each of these four people had the strength to fight ten of them. After all, the average level of his own guard team is level four, and his team leader is already a level nine mid-level warrior. Want four people to destroy a team? Each of them must have a strength of level thirteen or four!
"Sorry, we don't want to cause meaningless killings. If you surrender, then we can guarantee your life safety." Regnar shouted to the team members. He knew that Irene must not see too many killings, so he also She didn't want those bloody things to contaminate her eyes.
"What a arrogant tone! I think you are just a bandit from a mountain! Humph! How dare you be so arrogant when you are a rooster and a dog robber?!" Regner's words made the team leader immediately have blue veins popping out.
"Captain, don't underestimate the enemy. The superiors have given intelligence. Many winners of the previous martial arts competitions in the Hawke Empire have come here to participate in the war. They may be one of them." The vice-captain came over to remind.
"Huh! You won't know until you fight!" The captain was very dissatisfied.
"In this case, we can only apologize." Regnar sighed, and then pointed at Eileen: "I will not kill her, but in exchange, I hope you will not attack her, she is not a threat to you. "
"Are you a fool because of a martial arts competition? When negotiating terms with the enemy on the battlefield..." Kordak raised his forehead with his hand.
"I feel more at ease if I make it clear." Regnar replied, and then he pulled out his light-swallowing sword and entered stealth mode.
"Vera, the enemies are basically heavy infantry. Leave the offensive matters to me and Regnar. You should focus on defense and pay attention to protecting Irene." Kordak also pulled out the giant lava blade.
"I got it, don't worry!" Although Vera is usually fierce and fierce, during battle, she will still obey the command unconditionally.
"Get ready to fight!" shouted the squad leader, who was startled when he saw Kordak's enchanted weapon.
Because the red giant sword with the light flowing like lava looks so powerful, even if you look at it twice, you can see the amazing magical power contained in it. A warrior who can possess such a weapon is definitely not weak!
"Go!" The captain looked at Kordak's calm look and felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly issued the order, hoping to defeat these guys as soon as possible.
"I'm on!" Kordak shouted, and then rushed forward waving the giant lava blade.
boom!
Fire attribute fighting energy with a temperature of dozens of degrees erupted from Kordak's body. With Regner's help, Kordak has gradually mastered the use of attribute fighting energy.
The red lava giant blade wrapped in orange fighting spirit is like a war blade in the hands of the Hell Flame Demon King. Vera only saw Kordak sweep hard, and four or five warriors were blown away by his fighting spirit. Moreover, this was the result of him taking care of Irene's emotions and being merciful. Otherwise, Kordak might One sword can cut off the two poor ghosts directly in front of them.
"..." Erin looked ahead in horror. Although she knew that war could be cruel, she never expected that such a terrible thing would happen even at the beginning. Blood, blades, screams, soil... Is this war
"No... no... don't do this..." Irene was so frightened that she cried.
"Open your eyes Erin!" Vera shouted while providing remote support to Kordak: "Now is the battle, you must open your eyes and watch all this!"
"But...but...you are killing each other, this is wrong..." Erin muttered.
"I don't know if it's right, but I have to live, and live wonderfully!" Vera shot an arrow through the thigh of an approaching warrior, and then continued: "They also participate in the battle to gain military merit. To get ahead, we are all the same. If you don't step on their corpses, they will step on yours and your companions' corpses and laugh, so you must face all this. Even if you don't hurt others, at least You have to protect yourself, and the prerequisite for protecting yourself is to see clearly what is happening in front of you!"
"..." Erin fell into silence. She had not read many books, but she had an almost stubborn recognition of kindness and friendliness in her heart. Therefore, although what Vera said made sense, it was still difficult for her to accept it in a short period of time.
And Vera also knew that she couldn't force Irene to accept anything in such a short period of time, so she stopped talking and began to concentrate on dealing with the enemy.
At this time, the captain and vice-captain were fighting with Regna. Since he didn't kill him, Regnar's sneak attack didn't have much effect. Facing two warriors who had just entered the intermediate level, Regner thought he wouldn't feel too much pressure. But he forgot that these people are also veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for several years. Maybe they are not very high-level, but they have extremely rich combat experience. It is not easy to subdue them without losing their lives. thing.
As for Kordak, this guy was also tightly entangled by nearly twenty infantrymen. Because he had just entered the high-level, he was not yet able to fully control his own power. Therefore, two infantrymen have been knocked away by Kordak's giant lava blade, and their lives and deaths are unknown at the moment.
Vera shot another arrow, but the arrow was blocked by the heavy shield of an infantryman. There were two or three infantrymen following behind him. It seemed that he planned to approach them with the heavy shield.
"Tch, I won't run away?" Vera shrugged, but when she turned her head, she suddenly discovered that there were four infantrymen approaching, and they were only three or four meters away from Irene. . These guys actually took advantage of Vera being attracted by the enemy in front to sneak around and attack Irene!
"Irene, be careful!" Vera screamed. She drew her bow and arrow without hesitation. This time she aimed at the eyebrows of these people, because if they were not killed immediately, Irene would be really in danger.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Three dull sounds came from behind Irene, and then she felt a warmth on her neck. Erin stretched out her hand and touched it, and found that her hands were full of bright red blood. So, what was on her neck was...
"Ah!!!" Irene screamed in fright. She turned her head in horror, only to find that the last infantryman was only one step away from her.
"..." The infantryman seemed indifferent to the death of his companion. He looked at Irene with an indifferent expression on his face, and then raised his long sword high.
"Why kill me? I didn't hurt anyone..." Irene thought desperately as she closed her eyes.
However, the expected severe pain did not come. When Irene opened her eyes, she found that it was Vera who fired the arrow for the second time to kill the last enemy.
"Really, you should be careful at least..." Vera said helplessly.
"Sister Vera, thank you!" Irene was so frightened that she hurried to Vera's side.
"If you want to thank me, please show it with the treatment that follows..." Vera's voice became weaker and weaker, and when she said the last word, blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth. Then the woman couldn't hold on any longer and lay directly on Irene.
Only then did Irene realize that there were three arrows stuck in Vera's back and thighs. It seemed that she turned back for too long and was attacked by the enemy. After all, they were being attacked from both sides, and it was too reluctant to rely on Vera alone to defend. At this time, the infantrymen were also very close to him.
"Brother Regnar!" Erin screamed in horror again. Although she had repeatedly reminded herself to be bolder and work harder, it wasn't until she entered the battlefield that Erin realized how useless she was. Vera even got injured because of herself!
"Damn it!" Regnar's eyes turned red as soon as he heard Irene's scream. He no longer cared about any agreements and rules. He directly summoned a shadow flying knife with his left hand and forced the team leader in front of him to stagger. Then the light-swallowing sword in his right hand pierced his heart.
After killing the squad leader in an instant, Regnar no longer cared about the frightened vice-captain. As he rushed towards Irene, he summoned the shadow flying knife and threw it directly at the infantrymen beside her.
"Puff puff!" There were a few more muffled sounds, and Regnar's flying knife penetrated the backs of the warriors' necks very accurately, killing them instantly.
"Boss! Don't be merciful! Sister Vera is injured!" Regna said with red eyes.
"What?! Damn it!!!" Kordak was immediately furious. He directly activated the flaming blade of the giant lava blade, and then together with Regnar, he chopped down all the infantry like melons and vegetables. clean.
In the end, all the infantry were killed by these two raging men, and the battlefield was full of blood and broken limbs.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Irene was so frightened that she couldn't speak incoherently. She hugged Vera tremblingly, tears rolling down one by one.
"Stop crying Erin, heal Sister Vera quickly!" Regna rushed over at this time.
But Eileen seemed to be petrified. She just kept mumbling apologies but failed to take any action at all.
"Eileen!" Regnar was really anxious.
"Don't worry, Xiaolei, I have nothing to do." Vera said weakly. Because the infantryman's fighting spirit was not high, although the bow and arrow hit Vera's back, it did not cause too much damage to the internal organs. harm.
"Vera, are you okay?" Kordak also ran over.
"Don't worry, I'm strong!" Vera said with a forced smile.
Kordak observed Vera's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was just a skin injury.
"Take care of the wound first. Let's go back. After all, this is still the territory of the Stoke people, so we can't stay any longer." Kordak made the arrangement after thinking for a moment.
"What to do with those supplies?" Regner asked. They originally wanted to help the Hawke Empire get back a batch of supplies, but they didn't expect that two people would kill everyone. Without the coolies, the supplies would naturally not be available. Taken away.
"Take as much as you can, and destroy what is no longer needed! I will take care of this!" Kordak said to Regnar: "Go and help Vera bandage her wounds... By the way, comfort Irene, she can We can’t behave like this all the time, otherwise we won’t be able to take her with us at all.”
