"Bang, bang, bang."
The sound of the carriage is constantly ringing. This is a sound that can sometimes torture people crazy, but sometimes it sounds like a kind of enjoyment.
The green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, with flocks of birds flying by. Occasionally, you can see frightened rabbits or deer leaping high from the grass. At this time, Carly and Anderson always have to chase them. Sometimes they They would bring back prey, but sometimes they couldn't even find the arrows they shot.
But it is indeed a pleasant process, after all, no one would refuse to eat meat.
The wind came from afar, carrying an arrogant sound of horse hooves.
A total of fifteen riders came out of a forest in front of them, howling like hyenas predatory on the grassland.
"Put the cart sideways and form a formation with the help of the cart!"
When veteran Robert shouted, Zhang Yang had already urged his horse forward, untied the three imprisoning spears and placed them in the leather pocket on the side of the saddle.
The visitors were a group of higher-level, well-established bandits, 4 rogue knights, 6 rogue retinues, and 5 second son wanderers, also called second son explorers.
They all have noble status, and all of them are the second sons of the family. Since they have no right to inherit the territory, they are expelled when they reach adulthood. Some of the second sons will become regular soldiers of the kingdom like Tonks, or find ways to become regular soldiers. The knight inside.
However, there were still some second sons of nobles who were not willing to be restrained, so they wandered around the kingdom in groups and used extortion and robbery to live a comfortable life.
That's why they are called rogue knights, rogue followers, and second-son wanderers. Of course, in their own eyes, they are taking risks, so they call themselves explorers.
There is no doubt that after Zhang Yang refused to pay the protection fee of 200 silver dinars, these gangsters were ready to take action themselves.
Boom!
The two sides were approaching quickly. Even if there were only 15 horses, the momentum of the galloping was still astonishing. The four most powerful rogue knights rode tall horses, wore expensive and gorgeous plate armor, and held sophisticated weapons. They were more powerful than the knights of the regular army. To be luxurious, their business without capital is really too profitable.
fifty meters,
Thirty meters,
Zhang Yang suddenly pulled out a spear of imprisonment. The four rogue knights on the opposite side immediately raised their shields and raised their sharp lances. They controlled the horses purely with their legs. The riding skills of these rogues were equally impressive.
It's a pity that what Zhang Yang is holding now is not an ordinary weapon, but the Spear of Imprisonment.
twenty meters,
ten meters,
Each other can already see each other's murderous eyes and even every subtle movement of their bodies.
At this moment, Zhang Yang lightly kicked the war horse and deflected it slightly, as if he was scared. But the next second, the spear of imprisonment in his hand was thrown high into the sky. This was not only missing the target, but also completely wrong.
However, Zhang Yang suddenly released a soul thread at this moment. Although he could not form a soul force field, it was enough to slightly change the direction of the Imprisonment Spear within twenty meters.
At this moment, the spear of imprisonment that originally shot into the sky suddenly drew a curve from top to bottom, as if it had become spiritual. Before the scoundrels on the opposite side could react, it pierced through the top of the helmet of a rogue knight. .
One hit to the head!
too fast.
So when Zhang Yang turned his horse's head and passed these scoundrels, they didn't realize what was happening.
And Zhang Yang had already thrown the second spear of imprisonment in a flash of lightning, like a swimming fish, directly piercing the back of the second rogue knight's neck.
After running a few dozen steps, Zhang Yang reined in his horse and turned his horse's head again. He was in a happy mood because he successfully obtained 750 experience points. This feeling of harvest was so great.
On the opposite side, the gangsters looked like they had seen a ghost. The instant kill with such a throw was like meeting the legendary Black Knight or the Imperial Iron Ring Centurion in the farthest south.
But now they were unable to get off the tiger, so they charged again, but with the shields more tightly protected. They hoped to kill the monster on the opposite side with the strength of their numbers.
Zhang Yang felt no pressure and charged again. When they were only ten meters away from each other, the third spear of imprisonment flew up and killed a rogue knight again.
Then he turned around and ran away, because there was no longer a throwing spear in his leather pocket. As for his previous set of heavy javelins and ancient imperial javelins, they were both damaged in the battle.
"Catch him, I will chop him alive!"
The last remaining rogue knight shouted angrily, and their eyesight was also good. After discovering that Zhang Yang no longer had a throwing weapon, they immediately chased after him aggressively.
Well, that's a really good target.
Zhang Yang deliberately slowed down his horse. When the rogue knight chased him three meters behind him and was holding his lance at the ready to pierce him, he suddenly twisted around and the sapphire talisman flying knife turned into a sword. A flash of blood penetrated the rogue knight's left eye socket, and he screamed before falling off his horse.
This time, the remaining scoundrels finally panicked, reined in their horses, turned around and fled in a hurry.
Zhang Yang didn't chase them, because the other party was pure cavalry. If he wanted to escape, there was really nothing he could do against them unless he also had a sufficient number of cavalry.
It's a pity that this idea can only be kept in my mind, because the establishment of the cavalry is made of silver dinars.
Of the 12 horses he has acquired now, he can only give priority to ensuring food for him, Carly, Anderson's mounts, and the four horses. The other horses can only be left to roam, which is fine for a short period of time. If they exceed a few days, they will have to lose weight.
However, if all the supplies this time are sold, maybe a few real cavalry can be trained.
At this time, Robert and others were extremely excited and stepped forward to help capture the war horses and search for loot. Zhang Yang had already taken out three spears of imprisonment before. Looking at the aura texture on them that had dimmed a lot, it seemed that there could be more. Use twice.
But the trophies this time are really good, two sets of almost intact full-body plate armor, one set of black iron plate armor, one set of chain mail, one intact knight's bucket helmet, three pairs of leather gloves, and one set of gauntlets. Two sets of black leggings, a red charge armored war horse, a yellow gelding, two imperial armored war horses, 500 silver dinars, and a package of women's jewelry.
All I can say is that these rogue knights are too fat.
Zhang Zhang gave these sets of armor to veterans Robert, veterans Norton, Tony and Bob respectively.
As for Anderson and Carly, they had already changed to leather armor and chain armor during the last battle, and their professions did not allow them to wear heavy armor.
Now Zhang Yang still has the full-body heavy armor of the Death Knight obtained by killing the Black Knight. This heavy armor weighs about 120 kilograms, and no one in his team can wear it.
The prerequisite for strength is as high as 35 points.
He did not intend to sell this set of death knight heavy armor.
Next, Zhang Yang led the team to continue to Afendor City. After camping in the open air outside the city for a night, he led the team into the city and then sold the goods as quickly as possible at 70% of the market price. After all, These are all goods that come from shady sources. The sooner they take action, the safer it will be, not to mention they have offended a group of rogue knights.
Even so, Zhang Yang still received 6,500 silver dinars. Counting the damaged weapons and equipment he sold and his original savings, the total number of silver dinars in his hands was as high as 8,400.
This is really a huge sum of money.
But Zhang Yang started the big purchase without even frowning.
First, he chose a brand new women's crossbow and two bundles of steel crossbow bolts for Carly, which cost 1,500 silver dinars, but it was worth it.
This weapon that can be quickly cocked on horseback has considerable lethality. With Carly's riding skills and riding shooting skills, she can be used as half a ranger.
Then, Zhang Yang chose a short compound bow with high accuracy and extremely fast shooting speed for Anderson, as well as four bundles of cone-headed arrows. He was destined to be trained as a ranger, which cost him another 1,200 silver dinas. you.
There is no way, brand new weapons and equipment are so expensive, especially weapons like bows and crossbows.
Then, Zhang Yang chose a suitable shield sword for Tony and a two-handed sword for Bob, which cost another 1,800 silver dinars. The two of them planned to train them to be their personal guards, so they couldn't. stingy.
Finally, Zhang Yang bought himself two sets of heavy javelins, which cost another 500 silver dinars.
Seeing that he was running out of money, he had to sell five horses and get 2,000 silver dinars.
Then he bought a large cart, hired two cartmen, and purchased 20 bags of wheat, 100 giant black breads, a can of honey, 5 barrels of dark beer, a large package of sausages, three bags of apples, and 200 pounds of salted fish. , which cost another 1,300 silver dinars.
At this point, Zhang Yang still had 4,100 silver dinars left in his hand. He went straight to the most famous mercenary tavern in Afendor City. After some trial and inspection, he hired two Jatu wanderers, five This is the second son of a nobleman from the Northern Kingdom who can no longer survive.
These can be trained as cavalry, and the most important thing is that they are cheap. Each person only needs 300 silver dinars to use them for a whole year.
But in the end, Zhang Yang still spent a high price of 1,000 silver dinars to hire an old mercenary cavalry commander who was blind in one eye. It was not because of his strength, but because the other party had done dozens of The experience of a mercenary for many years is extraordinary.
After the recruitment was completed, Zhang Yang led the team away from Afendor City without stopping. But even if he dealt with it quickly, what he was worried about still happened. About ten miles out of the city, the old man who was entrusted with the important task of guarding and patrolling by Zhang Yang Alek, the commander of the mercenary cavalry, reported with a serious expression.
"Captain, we are being followed. If my prediction is correct, it should be those notorious rogue knights. I don't know how the captain offended them, but there are only two ways now. First, we turn back immediately. In the city of Afendore, spend some silver dinars to bribe the officials of Duke Brunus, and they should be able to negotiate an agreement; secondly, we must hire more powerful mercenaries, because the rogue knights are like The hyenas on the grassland are crazy and cruel, they will chase us to the horizon."
