Mercenaries and Adventurers Chapter 289

After hearing the priest's question, Keir also asked: "Yeah, who are they?"

The priest felt strange when he heard Keir's words: "You fight against the enemy, but you don't know who the enemy is?"

After fastening the belt of the leather pants around his waist, Kiel turned around and smiled: "When people are fighting, they are rushing for their lives, but they have no interest in introducing themselves. The thing is like this..."

So, Keir told the two that he saw people watching them during the day, and at night, he ran to the woods not far away, climbed on the tree and scouted the refugee team that was shining on the campfire.

"At that time, I took a look with two small aliens who were often active at night, but before I got to the edge of the woods, those guys released strange arrows in the woods, trying to take down the bodies of people who approached the woods one by one. Life."

Having said that, Kiel threw the elite hunter arrows he brought back from the woods in front of his two companions.

Several special arrows were different in shape, but they were different from ordinary arrows at a glance, which made Blood Fang stunned, but Priest Batar picked up one and carefully looked at the workmanship and special arrows on it. place.

"Did you find anything?" Keel knelt down and asked, he asked knowingly, but he still had to say it.

"During battle, this kind of arrow is so powerful that it is estimated that ordinary iron armor can't stop it. This kind of arrow flies through the air without making a sound, and the other kind of arrow is even more weird, like a snake. Hissing after shooting, it writhes left and right in the air in pursuit of the chosen target of the archer."

Kiel gave a brief introduction, but Blood Fangster, who picked up a tracking arrow, hurriedly put the arrow on the ground, and kept wiping his hands on his pants. When they go out for business or as guards, they are most afraid of encountering poisonous animals and monsters. Snakes are one of them. Because of their poisonousness, it is difficult for unlucky ghosts who are bitten to survive in the wild to the villages and towns where churches are stationed.

Fortunately, the western provinces of his hometown are mostly plains and grasslands. Most of the poisonous snakes there are cautious and timid. They only eat rodents such as grass rats or jerboas, and most of them will swim away when they meet people.

Priest Batar, on the other hand, was not afraid of the weirdness of the arrow, he held a rod in his hand and looked it over carefully, his face was thoughtful, he must have thought of something.

"They first injured a fur that was close to the woods. Fortunately, those little things were small and agile, and they were only injured instead of being shot to death by an arrow. They fled back in a hurry. When I heard it come back and talk about it I am not happy, so I took the remaining seven furs and ran into the woods again at night."

Xueyasite sighed: "No matter who the enemy is, they can shoot so accurately in the dark, it really shouldn't be looking for them in the woods at night."

Kiel shrugged: "That's right, so the battle in the woods was really not easy for me. I couldn't see anything at all, but the enemy was the same as during the day."

At this time, Priest Batar put down the arrow in his hand, and finally said: "I heard what the warriors of Kiel said. These people may be hunters belonging to the Church of the Hunting God."

Blood Fangs stared wide-eyed: "The hunter of the church? The **** of hunting?"

He looked at the special arrows on the ground, then at Kiel where the old **** was, and said with some concern, "Then this is causing big trouble, isn't it?"

Kiel deliberately muttered in a voice that everyone could hear: "Trouble is trouble, anyway, I will kill everyone, hey, it can't be said that I killed it."

Priest Batar immediately asked: "What do you mean? Could it be that they killed their own people? By the way, how many hunters from the Church of the God of Hunting did you meet in the woods?"

Keel thought for a while, and made a gesture for the number four.

"Four? It shouldn't be. I heard that the hunters of the Church of the Hunting God are very powerful. Oh, it's not that I look down on you, the warrior of Kiel. Of course you are more powerful. For example, you are in front of us now, and most of them are gone. right?"

Kiel nodded: "They should all be dead. You probably have seen the sudden flames in the woods. Ordinary people have almost no chance of surviving."

None of the companions asked Keel how he survived.

Keir's answer made the priest wonder why there were four hunters from the Church of the Hunting God watching and wandering around the team. The knowledge taught to him by the Church of Saturn did not involve much about other churches, and it was generally just a generalization. According to the introduction, unless the local church diocese has serious conflicts with other churches, the church rarely introduces the knowledge of other churches.

The same is generally true of other churches. The gods and churches that the priests are familiar with, one is enough, and there is no need for too many.

"The specific battle process."

Priest Batar asked a question, and then Kiel patted his head and said what he had made up when he came back.

"I took seven Mao Maos to the woods. Although I couldn't see much in the woods in the middle of the night, the hired aliens were naturally suitable for nocturnal activities. Thanks to them, I was in the woods with the four hunters. There were repeated fights in the woods, but one of the hunter brothers was captured."

Speaking of this, Keir paused for a moment, creating a little suspense: "But this is troublesome."

"How to say?"

Xuefang asked hurriedly, he knew his own ability, and he couldn't help Kiel at all in tonight's battle. Of course, he wasn't ashamed. A small caravan guard like him had already seen everyone's abilities.

Kiel is not yet eighteen years old, but he is already a young knight who has the ability to lead hundreds of people. Although he knows that Kiel is not a knight, he just claims to be able to lead the people, but he is not now, and he will not be in the future. Sooner or later yes.

Bloodfangs did not forget that when he followed the Kendall army, Keir, a young man, was loved and reused by the nobles and knights in the opposing army.

And the same young Batar priest next to him is equally powerful. Although Kiel's trip was to wipe the **** of the young priest's previous embarrassment, just look at the priest rubbing countless grains with his hands every day during this period, and taking care of him alone. Healed the injuries of hundreds of people in the team, and he felt that the future development of this young priest in his twenties was limitless.

You must know that in his hometown, the local old priest treated three or five farmers and horsemen for minor ailments and pains. Every time they finished, they looked exhausted and fell asleep with their heads on the bed.

"That's a pair of blood brothers, hehe, I've restrained my younger brother, shouldn't an older brother go crazy?"

Kiel laughed at himself. Thinking about it now, if he had stepped back cautiously at that time, he could have avoided suffering for dozens of days in the dream.

The priest's brain is more sensitive, and he guessed most of what Keir said: "So, the flame in the woods?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Keir said: "Yes, that brother did it. At that time, I held his brother hostage and asked these people to come out and surrender, otherwise I would kill the hostages in my hand. Don't think I'm mean, the other party has a geographical advantage , don't take such a risk, even if I have the help of seven alien races, I will not be the opponent of those people.”

"But the other party is also very powerful. He directly pulled out a strange arrow with a red arrow and walked out. He put the arrow on the bow string in his hand, and claimed that it was some kind of demon horned arrow."

"Devil Horn Arrow?"

"Devil Horn Arrow!"

Two surprises, the former belonged to Blood Fangste, as a caravan guard traveling north and south, naturally he heard the bards in the tavern talk about the hero stories, the heroes used all kinds of magic arrows to turn the tables and change the unfavorable situation .

He was surprised in his mouth, he didn't expect that he would be so close to the legend in this life, and he could witness the powerful power of this kind of thing with his own eyes. Thinking of the huge green flames that engulfed the entire forest before, it was indeed the power that the magic arrow should have.

It should be, the special weapons in the story are really powerful.

The surprise of the latter was naturally the priest Batar's. What surprised the young priest was not the magic arrow or not. A while ago, he had seen the Saturn in person. What surprised him was the name of the magic arrow—the horn of the devil. What do you mean, could it be that the evil flame I saw before was actually the power of a demon?

But how does the power of demons have anything to do with the hunters of the Church of the Hunting God?

This series of questions puzzled the priest.

"Yes, that's what the other party said, and they also said that once this special magic arrow is shot, everyone including the shooter will die."

Keel shrugged.

The two companions sitting on the sleeping bags looked at each other and asked in unison: "So, how did you deal with it?"

Keir laughed at himself: "I thought he was farting! He said everyone was going to die, can it be as he said? I didn't take a step back, and I grabbed his brother, approached him further, and stimulated him. Either die together, or come out and surrender."

The priest rolled his eyes: "Can't we find another way to communicate at that time? Anyway, the soldiers present at the time have stopped fighting, right? There is a chance for negotiation, why not talk about it?"

Kiel nodded his fellow priest, smiled and said nothing, but the meaning was self-evident.

On the contrary, Xueyasite has more experience, and explained to the priest: "I guess both sides were emotional at the time? I have seen this a lot. As long as everyone drinks too much in the tavern, once the fight starts, it will not stop. .Because whoever stops will suffer, and will suffer more fists from others.”

He gave another example: "It's like a caravan running a business and encountering bandits. Neither side can win the other. At this time, the situation is stalemate, but neither can admit defeat. Those who take a step back can only follow the opponent's step by step. Under pressure, I gradually gave up too many benefits."

"But you can also keep the bottom line." The priest argued.

Bloodfangstor shrugged, his status is not good enough to say something to the priest, it is inappropriate.

Keir didn't care: "How do you keep the bottom line? If you hit this point, whoever takes a step back will die. Winning or losing sometimes represents life and death. Anyway, the other party will use all their lives to force them, so I will put the sword on the ground." On his brother's neck, he either surrendered, or everyone died together. Of course, haha, I asked my aliens to retreat in advance, and I was in a stalemate with them alone. And in the end, I was the only one who survived."

The two companions didn't ask how Keel survived the explosion of the demon flames, and the conversation ended here.

Although he didn't understand why the hunters of the Church of the Hunting God were targeting their team, the priest comforted the two companions at the end, explaining that the Church of the Hunting God is a loose church with a wide distribution and strong strength, but If you lose money, you won't come to your door anyway.

After all, according to the meaning of the Church of the Hunting God, the hunter is killed by the prey, which is also a part of hunting.

Losses in battle are not uncommon.

"They may not come to us again in the future. They should." Priest Batar said so, and Kiel and Bloodyaster pretended to believe it.

Others believe it or not, but Keel knows that the other party will definitely come again, but it is not their team, but him, and the old **** in the wooden pendant on his chest.

They negotiated, and the rhetoric to everyone in the team was still the same as before. Keir unintentionally started a forest fire in the woods and ignited the woods to appease most of the people in the team.

And for those who are particularly curious, there is another way to appease them, which is the fire that Kiel knights accidentally made when practicing flame weapons.

In this way, the two sets of hypothetical rhetoric on the outside can make the people in the team ignore what happened tonight, at least not let them think about it, and have a set of rhetoric that can explain themselves, understand and persuade themselves, and make people all the way The terrified people calmed down and hurried on their way.

"So, where do we go from here?"

Keir asked when sending the two of them out of the tent.

Primarily for the priest Batar.

The priest paused, turned his head and smiled: "Where else can we go? Just follow what everyone discussed before, first head southeast, then south, and find a safe place for the people in the team to stay all the way. Go straight to Changmai Village. To complete our mission."

Keir smiled: "What about the city of Bliss? It can be said to be your hometown? Leave it alone?"

The priest's face became gloomy, but he still forced a smile: "I have asked the great god, and he has made arrangements. If he doesn't let me go, then I won't go."

Kiel nodded: "That's right, you are a priest of the church, you have to believe in your gods, what have you never seen before? This trivial matter will be settled soon."

"Is this a little thing?"

Priest Batar turned his head and walked away, repeating Kiel's last words.

Returning to the campfire full of Saturn believers, Priest Batar first looked at the wounded and resting in the grass in the simple tent, and saw that they were all sleeping peacefully, before the believers specially left him Good spot by the fire to lie down.

The campfire not far away was burning very vigorously, although the fresh wood that had just been cut from the woods had not been dried, resulting in a lot of smoke rising into the sky after the fire was burned. But the smoke from these small campfires is nothing compared to the thick smoke that covers the sky and the sun after the entire forest is burned not far away.

At night, there is no need to worry about people in the distance finding a lot of smoke from the campfire.

The various thoughts surging in his mind at this time were not as calm as he appeared at this time.

"This little thing? Huh."

He muttered another sentence, but there was no meaning of mocking the Kiel warrior in his words.

Because he knew that the Kiel warrior was not only young, only in his teens, but also from the northwestern border area of ​​the kingdom. Although the Saturnalia Church was everywhere, outsiders who knew the Saturnalia Church like the priests of the Saturnalia Church did not not much.

Don't look at the Church of the God of Saturn, which is everywhere and has many believers. But in reality, the actual living standards of the Saturnalia Churches and the believers they sheltered are not the same.

What happened in Boris Law City will most likely become a tragedy in the end.

Most of the priest friends and priest teachers he was familiar with could only meet again after death.

Saturn has no power.

This is a fact, and a disrespectful statement that a Saturnian priest should never utter.

In the chaotic and heavy history books, if you turn any page, you can find short words in words as fine as ants, soaked in the blood of farmers and priests of Saturn.

Every stroke of writing is roughly composed of the corpses of hundreds or thousands of farmers.

During the war, most of the priests of Saturn who fell together with the peasants did not even have their names, and during the famine, most of them were the first to fall.

"Hey, it's all small things."

Priest Batar lay on the ground full of weeds, and did not rest in the simple tent. He needed to be alone for a while.

Just wait until tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Keir's team set off again.

After all, places in the distance will not find you with their own long legs. If you want to reach a certain place or do something, you will most likely have to rely on your own legs and hands. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com to walk in and complete just work.

Therefore, the people in the team were very curious about what it looked like in the woods that burned last night, but Keir also had to yell and drive everyone, so that everyone continued to move southeast along the road under their feet.

The terrain is gradually becoming less flat, which shows that Kiel and the others have moved away from the plain where the town of Dorne is located.

Originally, the southern provinces had many mountains and little land. This was a common occurrence, and the people in the team also understood this during their previous escapes. On the contrary, Keir rode on the horse, looking at the rolling land in the distance, high and low, not very flat and easy to walk, and exclaimed.

"It seems that the distance traveled every day in the future will not be the same as before. Even if we are still walking on commercial roads or spacious roads."

After all, in flat areas, the roads are built along an approximate straight line. At most, they will turn a little bit for the sake of the river and compromise a little bit. If it is really not possible, bridges can be built.

But in areas with many mountains, with today's social productivity, it is basically impossible to consider the plan of digging or removing the mountain. The roads are built along the gentle side of the mountain, or directly along the lower part of the valley. Build all the way.

If you encounter obstacles from slightly higher mountains, you have to bypass them. For no reason, the journey was several times longer.

Judging by the speed of the team at this time, Keel felt that if everyone could follow the road around the three hills in front of them all day today, it would be considered fast.

But he didn't know that at this time, in the villages along the road among these hills, there were not villagers who had yet to escape, or people who were reluctant to leave the village.

In the original village, there are only some bandits who came out of the mountains at this time, and all the gangsters they coerced to join these days.
