Night is about to fall, and the afterglow of the setting sun is like a burning and steaming flame on the edge of the desert.
The desert bandits rushing in front seemed to hit a wall. The sea giant mercenaries led by Captain Gabri rushed to pieces from the front. The reserve knights from the guard camp rushed over from the left flank and entered the battlefield a little slower.
, the front of the oasis has become a mess.
Andrew led the veterans of the cavalry battalion to outflank them from the right wing. Their equestrian skills were average, so they held up shields and spears and lined up in a human wall to fight. The queue of two hundred people seemed to form a human wall at dusk, and there was a strong sense of oppression.
The bandits subconsciously did not want to break out from that direction.
At this moment, deep in the bandit camp of Sweetwater Oasis, a bandit leader riding a white camel rushed out with a group of bandits. The white camel under him was a whole circle larger than the other dromedary camels, and they gathered in
The group of bandits around him were also very tough thugs. They wore a variety of leather armors and did not choose to break through from the front.
The bandit leader made a circle and wanted to open the opening from the right side, but as soon as they turned their horses, the veterans of the cavalry battalion raised their spears one after another. When they wanted to charge here, the veterans did not hesitate.
Throwing the spear in his hand.
Throwing a spear is several times more powerful than a bow and arrow.
The bandit leader looked at the rain of spears falling one after another above his head, turned around and ran away with the bandits around him. He knew that if he was covered by the rain of spears, the light shield in his hand would not be able to block these flying spears, and the equestrian skills of the bandits
Superb, he turned around almost instantly.
Even so, some bandits who were slow to react were attacked from top to bottom with flying spears, and the situation became even more chaotic.
Surdak came up from the left wing with fifty reserve knights. The reserve knights wore dark full-face armor, and the knight's spear in their hand was also the standard weapon in the guard camp. The fifty knights lined up in a team, like
It is a wall of steel.
These college graduates had only gone out to practice a few times before, and this was the first time in their lives to participate in this kind of melee. With the shouts of killing, the fear in their bodies was almost quickly dissipated by the hot blood in their bodies. Accompanied by the shouts of kill, Su followed.
Erdak rushed up from behind and didn't even know how to raise his shield to block.
However, due to their well-equipped equipment and their faces being hidden behind visors, these bandits did not notice that they were a group of yellow-billed chicks at dusk. When they saw fifty knights from the guard camp rushing up from the left, they saw them at a glance.
He was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to resist. He followed the white camel of the bandit leader desperately, trying to break out of the encirclement.
The other women and slaves in the Sweetwater Oasis were so frightened that they went into the tents in the oasis and did not dare to come out.
Just when the bandit leader hesitated a little, not knowing which direction he should break through, the two mercenaries rushed up, but were stopped by the cronies behind the bandit leader. The bandit leader waved his scimitar in both hands and made an afterimage, almost fighting.
The long swords in the hands of the two mercenaries were cut off, and the scimitar in the leader's hand was slashed forward again. One mercenary had a bone-deep wound on his chest, and the other mercenary took a big step back.
narrowly escaped.
Just as he was retreating, he was kicked down by a bandit on the side. He was about to be hacked to death by a random blade. Behind him, a shadow of a knight holding a sword and shield appeared. The shadow became condensed amidst his angry shouts.
It was so real that in an instant, a pale golden shield stood in front of his body, blocking the scimitars that were coming down one after another.
The mercenary took the opportunity to roll around on the sand and avoid the bandits' blades. However, because he and another companion rushed too far forward, they were still surrounded by the bandits.
At this time, the mercenary group that came up from the front had cut down more than 20 bandits. Captain Gabri saw that the bandit leader was gathering the remaining bandits and quickly formed a resistance force. He also saw that some mercenaries were in a bitter fight.
, not daring to neglect at all, led the strongest men in the mercenary group towards the bandit leader.
Before Captain Gabri could rush over on horseback, he saw a big man jumping into the two mercenaries who were surrounded by bandits like a god from heaven. He was wearing simple armor and was carrying a broken bone in one hand.
With the big stick, he swung it into a round shape and smashed the two robbers in half, and then forced back more than a dozen robbers who had gathered around him.
The iron fist clenched in the other hand struck hard on the head of a war horse that collided with it. There was a dull sound of cracking melons, and the horse was smashed to the point of bleeding from all its orifices, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground.
Immediately, the ogre Gulitum let out a violent roar in the crowd.
The ogre's war cry frightened the surrounding war horses to weaken their hooves, and they refused to charge towards the ogre no matter what.
The shadow of a wind wolf appeared behind the bandit leader who was riding a white camel. He bore the brunt of the attack and charged towards Gulitem. Under his leadership, the other bandits had the courage to fight back.
Just as he took a few steps forward, a sense of crisis surged from the bottom of his heart, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end as if it had exploded.
The bandit leader's chest seemed to be suffocated. In shock, he forced his body to lean back and lay flat on the back of the white camel. Three sharp arrows quietly shuttled between the chaotic crowd and stuck to him.
His cheeks flew away without a trace.
The bandit leader's heart suddenly went cold. He knew that he was being watched from a distance by a sharpshooter. At this moment, he even wished he could transform into a marmot and hide in the sand.
At this time, Weiru, who was standing fifty meters away, was also stunned. The shadow of the sharp arrow slowly disappeared from behind. Unexpectedly, the killing arrow was narrowly dodged by the bandit leader.
He saw a veteran of the cavalry battalion being chopped to the ground by a robber with a machete. He raised his hand to draw the bow and fired an arrow. In the dark dusk, there was almost no flight path, and the arrow pierced the robber's back with a 'pop' sound.
The robber's body was frozen at the moment when he raised his scimitar, and the arrow's inertia carried his body forward two steps. There was a sense of pre-death in his wide-open eyes.
In despair, he fell to the ground.
Andrew was like a madman on the battlefield. He was wearing Suldak's 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure. A pair of eyes full of murder and blood appeared behind him. He didn't pay attention to the weapons wielded by the bandits around him. In the shadow of the axe,
Andrew had several scars on his body, but each scar represented the life of a robber who was forcibly deprived of his life by his butcher.
The 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure is heavy armor. Each piece of armor is mixed with some hard magic black iron. It is difficult for the bandits' scimitars to cause substantial damage to Andrew's armor. They rushed over all the way.
Even the 'Earth Shield' on the magic pattern structure was not activated.
The veterans of the cavalry battalion only need to follow Andrew and hit the target.
A 'halo of power' appeared under Surdak, and the reserve knights following him felt an inexplicable power surging in their bodies.
The bandit leader sat up straight and did not dare to pursue the two mercenaries anymore. When he saw Surdak rushing up from the left, followed by a group of guard camp knights wearing standard armor, he did not dare to fight with Surdak.
When he saw the soldiers coming from all directions, he called a group of subordinates to retreat towards the sweet water oasis behind him.
How could Captain Gabri let them get into the poplar forest covered with rime? The members of the mercenary group rode on horseback and showed their "power" one after another, instantly gaining an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. A large group of
The robber was cut down to the ground.
The ogre Gulitem and Captain Gabri caught up with the bandit leader almost at the same time. The spear in Captain Gabri's hand stabbed the bandit leader in the back. The bandit leader was riding on a white camel and could not avoid it, and his body rolled to the side.
, and jumped down from the hunchback.
Members of the Gabri regiment also jumped off their horses and were instantly fighting with the bandit leader.
The men following the bandit leader were about to rush to help, but were entangled by the mercenaries chasing after them from behind.
The mercenaries were obviously much stronger than the bandits, but the bandits were so numerous that it was hard to tell the winner in the melee.
Gulitem reached out and grabbed the reins of the white camel, pulled it down to the ground, put his legs on the body of the white camel, wrapped his hands around the four hooves of the white camel, and skillfully took out a hemp rope.
The white camel was tied up tightly, and then a small flag was planted next to him...
"Gulitem, what are you doing?" Andrew, not far away, shouted angrily at the ogre.
Andrew on the battlefield was like a barrel of explosives, and the ogre did not dare to provoke him. He quickly got up from the ground, swung the bone-crushing stick in his hand, and killed a robber who was just trying to sneak past him.
After his head was smashed, he smiled naively: "I'm marking my trophies!"
Andrew chopped down the robbers in front of him, rushed to Gulitem, and shouted: "Work quickly, don't let these robbers and horses escape!"
The bandit leader held two knives in his hands and strangled Captain Gabri. The shadow of a green wolf solidified from time to time and bit towards Captain Gabri.
Not to be outdone, Captain Gabri showed off the golden-armored warrior behind him, and every time he thrust out his spear, there was white energy. The bandit leader couldn't stop the energy at all. After only fighting a few times, his hands were full of energy.
He was stabbed with blood and was bleeding.
Seeing that other mercenaries did not take the initiative to help, Surdak reunited with Andrew and Gulitem and began to deal with the surrounding bandits who were still resisting.
These bandits were blocked by a dense poplar forest behind the Sweetwater Oasis, and were surrounded on three sides. There was almost no way out.
Weiru has been standing at the back of the team. He will not take the initiative to shoot the bandits. Only the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the guard battalion will draw their bows and shoot arrows when they are in danger. Before they fall, they will help them deal with the enemies in front of them.
opponent.
Gulitem may have felt that since he had robbed the white camel, he should kill its former owner, so he rushed forward without any scruples.
At this moment, the bandit leader raised his two swords and locked the spear in Captain Gabri's hand with his two swords, risking his chest being pierced. When the two were wrestling, the ogre rushed up unreasonably and swung it round.
He picked up the stick, and with a strong evil wind, hit the bandit leader hard on the back.
All the clasps on the bandit leader's chest armor were instantly opened, and twenty-four ribs exploded from his chest like the tentacles of an octopus, exploding through his chest.
The robber opened his mouth in his hand and spurted out some bloody pieces of meat. He folded his body back in half and flew forward more than ten meters.
Seeing the tragic death of their leader, a group of stubborn bandits lost their last bit of courage to resist and fled in all directions.
Captain Gabri looked at the ogre angrily, but Gulitem didn't seem to notice it at all. He ran over, picked up the sharp scimitar that the bandit leader dropped on the ground, and ran to the body over there.
, also remove the scabbard.
The mercenaries following Captain Gabri couldn't stand it and wanted to argue with Gulitem, but Captain Gabri stopped him with his hand.
A group of mercenaries began to quickly clean up the mess.
The battle was almost over in just half an hour.
Night fell when the fighting subsided. Surdak led a team of 300 people to occupy the Sweetwater Oasis. The veterans of the cavalry battalion quickly cleaned the battlefield and counted the loot.
Surdak ordered people to cut down several large poplar trees and lit a huge bonfire in front of the Sweetwater Oasis woods. All the slain bandits were stripped of their clothes and almost all were thrown into the fire naked, no matter how old they were.
The veterans in the cavalry camp would not dislike broken leather armor or blood-stained clothes, but they also knew the rules. Even a piece of rag would be piled neatly and placed on the side of the fire.
All the gold and silver coins were collected into a money bag, the leather armor weapons were piled in a pile, and some of the personal belongings he carried were also piled together.
The corpse kept twitching and making the slightest sound under the raging fire, and finally turned into ashes in the fire.
There were specialized personnel to sort out the horses and camels of the bandits. Many horses were injured during the battle. Those with minor injuries were penned with the uninjured horses. Those with serious injuries were killed on the spot, bled, and cut into pieces of horse meat.
.
Gulitem squatted aside and watched the butcher killing the horse with great interest, but he restrained himself from reaching out.
In accordance with their previous agreement with Surdak, the mercenaries of the mercenary group cut off the heads of the bandits they killed on the spot and piled them together. The other trophies were also allowed to be carried away by the veterans of the cavalry battalion.
Surdak was true to his word. He counted them on the spot and found that the thirty mercenaries killed a total of 86 bandits in this battle. He counted 430 gold coins from the money bag and handed them to Gabriel on the spot.
.Captain Gerry.
Then Surdak began to gather together those who were injured in this battle, regardless of mercenaries, veterans, or the group of reserve knights who were extremely excited in the battle but had no effect. As long as they were injured, they would gather together.
In front of a tent.
This tent originally belonged to the bandits from Sweetwater Oasis. Surdak walked into the tent and drove out a group of women hiding in the tent who were shivering with fear. He used the tent as a temporary treatment room and began to use Holy Light to treat
When treating the injured, priority will still be given to the seriously injured, and the injured will be treated overnight.
Andrew led a group of veterans from the cavalry battalion and toured the entire Sweetwater Oasis. This time, they harvested more than a hundred war horses and more than sixty camels...
