The place where a few people were was probably at the edge of a sparse forest. Not far from the road ahead, lush trees were scattered on the flat ground, and then gradually became more and more as the distance increased, and further away.
The places gradually gathered together to form a terrain called a forest. But even so, the scale of the forest was still much smaller than the former Emerald Forest, so people's sight could still be seen through the wide gaps between the trees.
, see the appearance of a more distant place.
The place now is filled with human figures.
From the front of the motorcade, some battle cries and the screams of people dying have begun to be heard. From the compartments of several carriages at the rear, more people are walking out of them. Those businessmen obviously have no fighting ability.
, so their loud shouts were full of panic and panic. While gathering to find a safe place, they asked the guards for help, hoping that they could ensure their safety. Then, they were taken to a few carriages by a guard.
In the cracks, some cargo boxes had been moved out of the carriage in advance and temporarily stacked there, forming a relatively crude position.
Subsequently, several players also received the same invitation or order.
"Go to the middle of the convoy, it's safer there."
While others were still hesitating, Duan Qing had already pulled Mengzhu and started to move forward: "Let's go."
"Hey, you're not going to help..."
"You look down on Kidd too much." Duan Qing whispered: "Believe in him and his subordinates, there is no problem in fighting a few bandits."
Probably...no problem. He added in his mind.
The stopped convoy was not long. After walking a few steps, they arrived at the temporary front line in the center. Several large boxes were placed in disorder, followed by some cowering non-combatants, who sometimes nervously moved around.
They looked around, sometimes raising their heads to the sky in prayer, not knowing which god in the free world they were praying to. A few people would also poke their heads and look ahead, where the main sound of battle was coming from.
Duan Qing and several other adventurers also turned over from the box and occupied a corner in a small place. Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and leaned his back against the box.
, and then realized that there was one less person coming in.
"Why don't you come in?" The height of the big box was just enough for him to reveal his head when he straightened up. At this time, Duan Qing was emerging from behind the box, looking at the player named Baili Duyou who was continuing to move towards him.
As he walked forward, what was left to the rest of them was a long silhouette.
"I'm going to join the battle." Baili Duyou heard this. Although he stopped, he didn't turn around. He just tilted his head and looked at the people in the box formation with a kind of sharp gaze.
other people.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you..." The head behind the box said slowly, "You might not be able to come back if you go."
"Hmph." Baili Duyou, who no longer paid attention to Duan Qing, turned and left, and his voice gradually faded away as he moved forward: "I don't want to... live like I'm being protected."
The figure in the black gown gradually moved away, and his clothes also fluttered. After Baili Yu finished these words, he left everyone's sight with the long sword on his back. The shouts of death in front continued, and even became more intense.
Duan Qing shook his head and sat down again.
"Hey, uncle..." the girl's voice came at the right time: "If we do this... he... that person, will everything be okay?"
"I've already warned you." Duan Qing spread his hands and looked helpless: "It's his business if he wants to show off. Will he die..."
He smiled: "How should I know."
In the following time, the remaining players and the businessmen each occupied one side and sat there quietly. On both sides of the box, Kidd still left one or two people as guards to protect the safety of the people in the middle. However, Duan Qing felt that
, the people who stay here have almost no other help besides shouting when something unexpected happens. When I looked at it from a distance before, the number of those bandits was already incalculable. If there were really
If the bandits come over, it's impossible to defend it with just two people and a pile of boxes.
But it didn't take long for him to retract this idea because he saw Guzman's figure in the crowd sitting over there.
Well, with such an old guy here, nothing will happen...
The sound of swords clashing in front continued, but the flow of time slowed down a bit. Although the players in the box array were not afraid of death, since they chose not to participate in the battle, they began to feel a little bored in this powerless waiting. Mengzhu came to leisurely
Nothing happened, and he started to think about what happened in the future. Duan Qing observed the actions of others, and then found the bearded man who said nothing in the car, holding a shield he didn't know where he got it from, sitting there.
There seemed to be some tension there.
"Hey, this..." Duan Qing raised his head and looked at his ID: "Uncle Butcher, why are you so nervous? Relax, you may die..."
"Oh, hehehe, I have..." The smiling butcher heard this and smiled awkwardly: "I've been...well, I'm not very good at fighting, so...
.”
"You're not good at fighting? Then you made it out of Novice Village? You're awesome..." Duan Qing said.
"Ah, that's because..." Perhaps because chatting made the uncle relax, he loosened the shield in his arms and scratched his head with one hand: "I've been playing for a little too long.
.....”
"Is that so...are you going to Fenghua Town alone?"
"Yeah...yeah." He stopped scratching his head and then started rubbing his hands again.
"Uncle, he doesn't look like someone who often plays games."
"Yes, I don't have much time to play, so..."
"That's going to be difficult. It seems like a long time has passed all the way. It's not easy to persevere..."
"Yeah, hahahaha..." The two hands that were rubbing together were already holding each other.
"Get up..." Duan Qing looked up at the sky: "I haven't seen you off the line very often..."
"Heart! Everyone get down!"
Outside the box array, a shout from one of the guards suddenly came.
Mengzhu, who was immersed in longing, raised her head and looked around with blank eyes. However, before she could figure out the situation, her head was pressed down again by a big hand - it was Duan Qing's hand.
With a whoosh, an arrow passed over the top of the box and pierced into the wood of the box on the other side. Something like water flowed out of the hole. The cargo in the box was probably some liquid. At this time, it was already
Broken by this arrow.
Amid the girl's exclamation, Duan Qing motioned for the others to lean against the wall of the box: "Do these bandits have such advanced things?"
"How do I know this! This world is so dangerous..."
"It seems that banditry is a promising career. Do you want to consider it? Everyone..." Duan Qing quietly poked his head from behind the box while joking, wanting to observe the situation outside.
Then, he heard shouts from ahead.
Several figures in drab clothes and standard bandit outfits were shouting and rushing toward them. When Duan Qing saw it, they had already rushed out of the grass, climbed over the gravel, and rushed onto the road. Among them
One person slashed over the guard who had been guarding that side but was now on the ground with an arrow in his body, and then directed the remaining sword-wielding men to rush in front of the wooden box.
The man in the front wearing a brown turban was about to reach out and climb over the wooden boxes, but was slashed back by Duan Qing who was hiding behind.
"Defense!" Duan Qing shouted loudly, and glanced at Guzman behind him. The blindfolded old man was sitting there cross-legged, looking like an old god.
Secretly curling his lips, Duan Qing had no choice but to face forward again: "Rely on defense!"
There were only three or four players left. Although they had just come out of Novice Village, there were not many choices left to make here and now. Everyone took out their weapons and followed Duan Qing's example, standing guard.
From behind the box, he greeted the other bandits who were rushing towards them.
Mengzhu was naturally one of them. She gritted her teeth and blocked the incoming sword. She was also shaken back by the force from the dagger. She endured the pain in her wrist and was about to continue rushing forward.
She went to fill up the gap she had exposed. Amidst the sound of the air breaking in front of her, an arrow flew towards her direction.
A strong force hit her side, pushing Mengzhu out of her original position. The muffled sound of the arrow colliding with the shield was heard, and the girl fell to the ground. When she turned her head to look over there, the man with the cheeks
The bearded uncle was standing at her original position with his shield raised, trying to block the sword attack in front of her.
It seemed that the smiling butcher held up his shield and blocked the flying arrow from before.
The bearded uncle didn't notice Mengzhu's gaze - he was staring intently at the situation ahead. At the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand and knocked back the knife on the left side again.
This bearded uncle seems to have no other weapons. All he has is the shield in his hand. But the defense of the shield is quite obvious behind the box array at this time. The bandits rushing over
, you must cross the wide wooden box to hand the sword in front of the player. Whether it is chopping or stabbing, its strength has been exhausted, so it cannot exert its full power. And the shield used by the uncle will remain
This trace of power and the threat posed by the bow and arrow were completely eliminated.
In addition to using the big shield set up by the smiling butcher to protect themselves, the only thing that the players needed to do was to prevent the bandits from crossing the defense line formed by the boxes - the players present were all in their teens and twenties.
Although not all the attribute values of the characters are increased more reasonably, the overall strength should not be much different, and Mengzhu has demonstrated it in person just now, so they also know that the strength attributes of these bandits are relatively
Higher, as long as you be careful about this and don't confront them head-on, it is relatively easy to achieve this.
However, even though everyone did not take it lightly, a bandit finally broke in.
It was an accident that suddenly occurred after a few moves were exchanged. After the smiling butcher blocked the sword thrust in front with his shield, a bandit wielding a gun suddenly rushed up, but he did not take advantage of his long weapon to move.
Attack, but stabbed into the wooden box in front of him.
The gun tip entered his body with a sound, and then he shouted loudly and picked up the entire wooden box.
The force of that blow was so great that the wooden box fell apart in mid-air, and all kinds of goods inside fell to the ground. The bandits in front did not start looting because of this, and neither did the merchants behind.
Time is concerned about the safety of its cargo - their lives seem to be uncertain.
The bandit at the front had already rushed in through the gap. And in this case, they still chose to let a member holding a sword and a shield press forward first. The bandit was shorter than the others.
He holds a sword in his right hand and a leather shield in his left hand. Except for a metal plate in the middle of the shield, it seems to be made of animal skins. In order to maintain its offensive nature, some spikes are nailed around the surface of the leather shield.
The bandit shouted loudly, held the leather shield on his left hand in front of him, and then slowly increased the force.
The spikes on the shield are right in front of you!
The moment he was about to cross the gap, the bandit screamed and turned sideways, using all his strength on his left arm, knocking aside the large shield that had been hindering them, making the front of the passage clear.
Get up. The bandits' screams gradually turned into loud laughter. They stood in the gap and raised their swords, shaking their bodies in a show of force. After they had dealt with the last resisters, they could kill, wound and rob at will.
Finally, just rob a carriage and leave. If you are lucky, you may be able to keep the horses. In this case, future robberies will be smoother and the harvest will be better...
Behind the retreating shield, a figure suddenly flashed out.
The short bandit sneered in his heart, his body still maintained the forward posture, but the strength in his hands increased a bit. With his own strength, even the shield with full defense was thrown out by him, let alone trying to block it without authorization.
The human body in front of me...
That man didn't have a shield in his hand, just a dagger...wait, he held the sword with both hands? Is there any swordsmanship that allows him to use a dagger with both hands?
The bandit didn't have time to continue thinking.
The figure stepped forward, holding the dagger tightly in both hands, and then lifted it up with force from bottom to top.
With a muffled bang, the sword hit the bottom of the leather shield. The arm holding the leather shield swung upwards with the huge force of the explosion, and then moved backwards, driving the short bandit's whole body.
He was tilted backward by the sword.
【Ding】
"Let's go!" Duan Qing shouted, and then put his foot on the chest of the person who came.
"Why didn't you give him a sword just now?" When the big shield rushed forward again and placed it in the gap, Mengzhu had a moment of free time and asked Duan Qing breathlessly.
"How can I have any remaining physical strength? The attack just now used up almost all my physical strength. I can only kick out one kick, which is already the limit..." Duan Qing wiped his mouth, and then replied: "And
There may be problems with the last strike. The strength gap between the two sides is so big. If you move slowly, you will give the other side a chance to react..."
"Is the gap between us that big?"
"Visually the opponent is at least our level 30 level... Don't look at that uncle carrying it easily, he is taking advantage of the big shield." Duan Qing blocked the attack with his sword, and then made a backhand.
The sword was sharpened back: "And this uncle should not be simple, at least he has rich combat experience... heart!"
In front of the wooden box, the gun-wielding bandit wanted to repeat his old trick and fork away a wooden box again. A few people with quick eyesight and quick hands wanted to protect the gap that was about to be broken again, but their numbers were already stretched thin.
——There are only four or five players in total.
At this moment, as a shout rang out, in the direction in front of the motorcade, a shining silver figure jumped out from the shed of the carriage in front, and struck the gun-wielding bandit on the head with a big sword in his hand.
"Huh..." Seeing the familiar bald head leading several escorts to fight back, Duan Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How could I arrange such an intense battle?
Just need to hold on for a while..."
"This should make it... okay."
