One second, he was still within ten meters, and it seemed that just saying hello could stop him. The next second, he took out a tube of accelerating potion from nowhere and poured it into his stomach. Even if his butt was injured, he could run faster than a horse.
quick.
He quickly went to the stables and was nowhere to be seen.
However, the horses in the stable were tampered with in advance by Adrian and his gang - the horse was fine, but all the saddle straps were cut with only a little bit left.
The burly and sturdy Lord Exxon had no problem mounting his horse, and he had no problem riding the horse away. But within a hundred meters of running, the tether was completely broken.
The saddle came loose and the horse raised its hooves. The Lord sat on his butt on the ground and screamed, as if he had suffered from hemorrhoids for many years. His trembling voice scared even the gray wolves at night to run away.
Tias also escaped. The rookie was lucky, he was fully armored, and the arrows fired by the half-elf archer failed to kill him.
The hunting team wanted to rescue the rangers and rogues in the team, but also focused on hunting Exxon, so Tias was wounded and fled into the darkness outside the town, without knowing where he was going.
As for the other members of the Long Legs family, they were not so lucky.
Several knights were blocked in the rooms they occupied, and died extremely useless. Most of the gangsters who were summoned were annihilated, and only a few miscellaneous fish escaped.
This operation once again proved that a lightly armed and powerful team with reliable intelligence support can respond quickly and strike quickly.
Any enemy who dares to offend the 'rich and powerful leader' must be careful, because the cost of crime will be greatly increased. Once exposed, one or even multiple hunting teams will target them.
In the collapsed building, Ranger Mahan and his halfling partner were rescued. The force field ball released by Exon when he escaped was so powerful that both of them were seriously injured.
But there is a disease priest in the team, and the 'Cure Minor Injuries' plus holy water can heal ordinary injuries on the same day. This is of great benefit to maintaining the team's combat effectiveness.
Late at night, the town was still deserted. The residents stayed behind closed doors, and few knew that the nobles and gangsters who tortured them during the day died or escaped.
The dismantled remains of the carriage in the small square have not yet been cleaned up. With the help of a crackling bonfire, Adrian found most of the parts, shook his head and said: "The bastard from Longlegs took the axle away."
The mayor and several bamboo craftsmen were found and questioned.
Mondino came over with his staff and inspected the disassembled parts. Instead, he said reassuringly: "It doesn't matter. The lord said that the axle is not the key to a heavy-duty carriage."
People who are ignorant only look at the appearance and think that the carriages of "Fu Qiang Ling" are all good. But they cannot see that there is a manufacturing system behind the carriages.
Zhou Qingfeng put a lot of effort into this system, and he relied on the assistance of a strange maid to complete it. The precise axle is not afraid of being stolen, but some small details on the carriage are easy to be copied.
Such as harness.
As a knight, Ackerson didn't even glance at the harness on the carriage. He probably only rode horses and never worked as a carriage driver. He even left the care of the horses to the attendants.
After receiving treatment, Ranger Mahan, who was almost frozen to death, was still angry. Even sneak attacks and enhanced attacks failed to kill Exxon, which was really a pity.
"Exon is the guard captain of the Long Legs family after all. He was originally one of the top ten big shots in Cold Wind City. It would be strange if he didn't have some means to save his life."
Adrian learned the specific identity of the enemy from the mayor, and then realized that he almost caught a big fish this time. But forget it if he didn't catch it, the 'Joker' never regrets the irreversible things.
The comfort from his companions made Mahan shake his head. The third-level ranger smiled bitterly and said: "You don't understand how much I hate those nobles. I never dream of making them pay for their numerous evil deeds."
Mahan had been living in the Cold Wind City for many years, and his face was full of weather and frost. Who would have known that this tall man was only in his early thirties. He stopped talking and just sat in the open space of the small square, looking at his tower shield with pity.
Rangers are excellent hunters who walk in mountains and forests. They are proficient in various weapons and are good at tracking and survival in the wild. However, few rangers use large equipment such as tower shields.
But Mahan was an exception. He used to use a wooden shield. He was responsible for standing at the front in the battle to attract the enemy's attention and create conditions for his companions to attack. If he wanted to retreat, he would also walk at the end holding a large shield.
In short, Mahan is responsible for all the hard work in the team. He is as reliable as a big shield. If they encounter any trouble, their companions can count on his help.
With such a real person, the relationship in the team will not be too bad.
Because of Mahan's calmness and reliability, after Adrian recruited him, he hoped that the forge in the territory would custom-make a strong enough steel shield for him.
Zhou Qingfeng learned about this and personally chatted with Mahan, specially sending him an aluminum-magnesium alloy tower shield.
Zhou Qingfeng had such a 'silver shield' before, which was light, strong, and quite resistant to magic. But he didn't use it much, and he only used it for Arcee to shape her body.
Hardened aluminum-magnesium alloy is used to protect armored vehicles. Its strength can reach half that of uniformly rolled armor steel and its weight is only one-third.
The smelting industry in the real world is highly developed, and the strength of armor steel is so high that even cutting and welding is difficult. Aluminum alloy can have half the strength of armor steel, which is already an artifact.
One-third of the weight greatly reduces the burden on the holder.
Aluminum alloy was used by Uncle Zhou to make "platinum coins". The weight of this shield alone is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, which is really shockingly expensive.
Because of its light weight and super high strength, Mahan couldn't put it down for this 'silver white' tower shield.
If it weren't for the magic resistance of the 'Silver Shield' that reduced the damage today, Mahan, as a ranger, would have been frozen into an ice sculpture by the extreme cold. At the end of the battle, he rubbed his fingers over the scratches on the shield that had been hit by Exxon's ice axe.
It hurts to death.
"Don't worry, it can be repaired later with the repair technique." Adrian patted Mahan on the shoulder.
"Don't lie to me." Mahan shook his head in frustration, "This is magic equipment. It can reduce at least 30% of magic damage. Repair spells are ineffective on it."
Uh..., Adrian didn't understand, so he could only comfort him again: "The Lord must have a way. He can give you this shield, but can't he repair it?"
The hunting team is resting.
The mayor who was pulled in late at night was already dumbfounded. The big names in front of him kept appearing as if in a opera. In less than a day, what happened in Green Valley Town could be sung for decades.
The master of Longlegs brought a group of gangsters and made a mess in the town. This was a disaster.
But at night, a group of more ruthless men came and chopped and killed the Longlegs family members. This... was actually a disaster.
There were corpses lying scattered on the ground in the hotel. Some of them were shriveled and withered, which was more terrifying than the blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
As for the other knights, they were either hacked to death in bed, or torn into pieces while fleeing in embarrassment. Even the leader, Master Exxon, was injured and fled.
"Masters." The mayor looked at Adrian and others, and cried on the ground: "Masters, do you have any orders?"
For Green Valley Town, the militiamen in the town, whether they are the Long Legs or the 'Rich and Strong Leader', are powerless to resist. At most, they can resist the bandits roaming in the wilderness, and the rest can only resign themselves to fate.
Adrian and others are here to carry out a hunting mission, and rescuing Green Valley Town is just a matter of convenience. They plan to stay one night and return to Cold Wind City tomorrow.
Adrian said that he would not ask for any compensation, and at most he would find a place to stay for one night.
But the mayor knelt down and continued to cry: "Everyone has left, what will happen if the Long-Legs family comes back again? Lord Exxon will not let us go, he will kill everyone in the town.
.”
Everyone in the hunting team suddenly looked at each other.
The Necromancer made a suggestion in a hoarse and bitter tone, "War is coming in the North, and no one will be spared. Many lives will perish.
If you want to protect yourself, don't be a vacillating wallflower. It's time to choose a side and surrender completely. Otherwise, villages and towns like yours will be destroyed soon."
