Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth thieves attack
But you can't come with the hard ones, you can always come with the soft ones. What's more, for the hospitable baron and his wife, this is just a performance. And they were not disappointed. From suggestions on brewing rice wine to various techniques for warming wine, Lin Ke
No reservations.
Although for him, his knowledge of wine was only half-baked and he just loved drinking. But what he didn't expect was that other people were completely blank. The most important thing is that these are not skills with a high threshold.
; You only need an idea to expand people's horizons, and you can achieve similar results.
Of course, the Baron and his wife still hope to get more benefits out of this person. Therefore, at the wine table, the two of them had no status at all and appeared to be very attentive. In addition, their cronies are also good at calculating.
A smart person. The offensive of praise from a group of people has made a certain alcoholic person feel proud.
Even the legendary Demon King was still drunk and in a daze, and he spoke indiscriminately. Although he did not reveal any shocking secrets, the casualness of his words made it seem that the relationship between everyone was much closer.
There is no need for the slightly tipsy baron and his wife to say anything. Naturally, people around them will take advantage of someone's drunkenness and use various words to test them, and even induce the other person to make a commitment.
But someone who had seen all kinds of fraud before time travel, even though he was drunk, was still instinctively wary of his words. Promises that could not be fulfilled, unbelievable content, obvious traps, shouting haha, pretending to be deaf.
It's over. Anyway, when you are drunk, you do many things intuitively, and someone's idea of preserving one's own safety is deeply rooted in one's bones.
Just when the baron and his wife's men were about to push again, the ship shook unknown, disrupting everyone's plans.
William Greco, who was also drunk and had a flushed face, listened intently and said, "There is a sound of flapping wings."
Baron William Engels stood up. Although he was lenient to his subordinates, when such a sailing error occurred, he had to understand the situation instead of turning a blind eye. But before he left the hatch, there was already a guard
The guards who were outside ran in and said anxiously: "Sir, we are under attack."
"Attack?" The drunken crowd had the same doubts in their hearts. The baron asked: "Where did the attack come from? Do you know who the opponent is?"
"It's a huge boulder that fell from the sky."
"Trebuchet? Do you need to turn off the lights?"
"No, sir, it should have come from heaven."
"Those air bandits?" William Engels bared his teeth and ran away mostly drunk.
The air bandits he talks about can be said to be the most famous group of bandits on the Golden Waterway. They ride a very special and powerful flying monster-cockater. They can attack day and night and appear and disappear. Vader Military Kingdom
The nobles tried to encircle and suppress them, but failed repeatedly. The other party always hid as if they had known the message in advance.
Some people say that this group of air bandits are bandits sponsored by the enemy. The theory is vivid, but there is no conclusive evidence. However, with the strength of this group of people, even if they join the regular army, they will get good treatment. Cockatrice
It's not such an easy beast to tame. If you don't want to be an official, you have to be a thief. No wonder some people doubt that the other party's purpose is not pure.
Putting aside unnecessary thoughts, for Baron Engels, a lot of his wife's fleet was lost in the hands of these bandits. This is a real loss of profits. Now this big ship flying the unicorn flag has also been
The other party is watching.
Now that we know who the opponent is, this large decommissioned warship is not without defense means. A group of guards, half drunk and half awake, ran into the weapons bay in a mess, trying to bring out the weapons to deal with those guys in the sky.
At this time, the two magicians and the sword master also stood up, drunk and muttering for help. Among them, Lin asked the lich next to him: "Who are those bandits coming to find?"
Troublesome?" They asked this, of course, because in their line of work, there was never much peace along the way, and they encountered bandits or pretending to be bandits not just once or twice.
But Fen didn't care so much and said: "No matter who he looks for, if he makes trouble in a place where I am, he must be prepared to be beaten down by me." As he said this, the former Demon King reached for his waist.
Only then did he realize that he didn't have the magic gun with him. After touching it for a while to confirm, he said angrily: "I'll go back and get it first." He flashed away.
The other two drinking companions above were muttering: "The fight is about to begin!" William Greco was looking for his weapon on the ground. Before Lin was about to rush out, he was called down by his apprentice. Kaya said
: "Teacher, the wine is warm. Why don't you drink it first?"
After laughing twice, someone turned around and said, "I'll be back as soon as I go, very soon." After saying that, a flash of light appeared, and he summoned Hakakiri back into his hand; another flash of light, and the person had disappeared from the cabin.
For the Baron, how could he let his guests fend off the enemy without showing up. However, the most basic protection was still necessary, so after his subordinates brought his weapons, Baron William Engels walked out of the cabin under the protection of his close associates.
.Then I saw an incredible scene.
On the deck, or rather wherever he could see it, it was as bright as day. The enemy's advantage in the night was nowhere to be seen in this bright light. The former Demon King who returned to the deck was holding up a strange
The iron block seemed to point to the enemy in the sky. But the group of people and their mounts, the Cockatrice, were falling vertically into the water one by one, and some people were clearly divided into several pieces.
And the magician whose strength should be evaluated as weak or strong appeared in the sky at this moment. Just watch him throw out the long sword without an edge, which he calls himself a cane. The sword looks like
It was like a long eye, drawing a wonderful arc in the sky, and shot through the thief riding on the cockatrice, until it sank into the hilt. If it hadn't been for the cross-shaped guard, the sword would have penetrated the enemy directly.
The next moment the thief dies, the magician will appear in front of him, reaching out to hold the sword. The 'unopened' long sword will follow the magician and turn around in the air, cutting open the person's body without any hindrance.
Along the way, he cut off the Cockatrice that had no time to react. Then he threw it towards the next target! ...which was also the last one.
The same way of death. The thieves who were riding cockatrices in the air did not even have time to control the monsters under their seats to turn around and escape. They were pierced by the long sword and then cut open. They died beyond death. Even at this time, some of them died.
The earlier thieves and monsters had not yet fallen into the water, but fell from the air. One after another, they fell into the water.
This means that by the time the baron prepared his weapons and walked out of the cabin, the invading enemies had already been killed by the magician who started killing them at the slightest disagreement. The baron only had time to see the last two thieves.
The appearance of death.
If there weren't other thieves and cockatrices falling from the sky, and there were still some unsinked corpses floating on the river, the baron would have thought that this group of robbers was attacking, and he only brought two or three people with him.
They were about to be solved. He knew the problem very well. This group of robbers never separated when they robbed. No matter whether it was a big boat or a small boat, the enemy was strong or weak, they always traveled together and died together today...
The magician returned to the deck at some point, carrying his long sword that was said to be 'unbladed', breathing into the palm of his hand and saying: "It's so cold, so cold. Drink, drink."
Walking towards the cabin.
But the magician had not taken a few steps when the beautiful former Demon King used the weapon in his hand to fire dozens of magical energy-like attacks at his feet. Of course, someone who didn't want to be shot jumped around with his feet.
"Why are all the enemies dead when I'm just taking aim?" Fen asked dissatisfiedly with his face flushed and his cheeks puffed up.
"Wouldn't this save you trouble? Why waste your time on that kind of person?"
"I've taken out my gun, so I've been running for nothing! How about you use it as a target and let me shoot you a few times?" A drunken lich said coquettishly.
Of course someone refused. "Don't make trouble, people will die." Before he finished speaking, a certain lich boldly turned on the burst switch and sprayed magic bullets at someone, but someone had already escaped in a flash.
At this time, there was a loud shouting in the cabin: "The wine is still warm, I didn't expect that I would also warm the wine and kill Hua Xiong. Let me think about how it is described in the novel." Someone was very excited about poetry.
, using the local accent, chanting the poem:
"The first achievement of majestic power is to control the world. Painted drums on the gate of the camp are ringing in winter and winter. Cloud Chang stops the lamp to show his bravery. When the wine is warm, he kills Hua Xiong."
When someone was chanting a poem, the lights seen on the deck flickered, as if staring at someone. The dissatisfied and drunken lich yelled around without fear: "What?
, I will beat you, what do you want!" But in the end, there was still no response. When someone finished reciting the poem, the light went out, and the world returned to darkness.
Baron Engels, who was standing on the deck, was aroused by the river breeze. He was sober and no longer drunk at all. Including the sailors and guards who witnessed everything on the deck, not only were they sober, but their entire backs were also drunk.
They were all soaked with cold sweat.
The incoming thieves are big thieves who have been running rampant in the Golden Waterway for several years, and they are notorious. Especially their mount, the magical beast Cockatrice, is not only difficult to deal with because it can fly, but even on the ground, it is so powerful that it is difficult for humans to defeat it.
A powerful enemy to deal with. In particular, they can release poison and have powerful attack power. How could we successfully deal with Cockatrice without sending out a large number of expedition teams and then killing a lot of people?
Then this band of thieves has more than XXX (30) Cockatrices. The average small noble cannot resist such a force. Not to mention the merchant ships on the water. Cooperating obediently is the only way to survive.
If you are lucky, you can still save the ship and only allow the most valuable cargo to be robbed. If you offend this group of robbers, it is very common to leave the ship without people.
And then! Just today, none of this group of nameless bandits riding cockatrices were left, and they all fell into the arms of the Po River. The one who did all this was a magician who was "heard to be very weak"
