"Dane, are you okay ?!" Sarko stepped forward and asked.
Dean said: "What can I do? How come you come here?"
"Just now, we heard a particularly violent vibration from the east in the camp. I don't know what happened. We are very relieved. So I brought some people to come and see. There ... What happened? what?"
Dean certainly knows what happened to the shock of the enemy called Sarko, but he does not intend to explain it in detail.
Seeing Sarko's curious look, Dane thought about it and decided to take him to see. He said, "I found something terrible over there. Come with me."
Alas, he returned to Orion with Sarko and more than twenty mercenaries.
No doubt, such a huge thing shocked a group of soil buns who had never seen the world before.
"The Lord is on ... this is a miracle!" Sarko even half-knelt on the ground, chanting the name of the Lord. Although he has become a mercenary, he never forgets his identity as a knight. According to himself, he was one of the three empires in the central part of the continent, the Knight of the Sunderland Empire, and a follower of the Lord Fran. As for why a follower of Lord Fran, a knight, would become a mercenary, it is unknown, he never mentioned it himself.
Uncle Dane looked at their shocked faces, and laughed quite disgustingly. He said, "Now, this tree, and the tree under construction, are ours! Those blue elves-oh, I mean the light ball-are also my men, now , Our task is to guard this place! "
Dane originally planned to go back and bring some people to guard the tree of life. It happened to meet Sarko exactly halfway, that would save him the rest of the way.
Directly sent two mercenaries to go back to Ghostblade Port and report the situation to Golob, Tommy and Delin who stayed at Ghostblade Port. As for himself and Sarko, there are twenty or more mercenaries left, and they are going to be vigil here today.
Fortunately, Sarko came out this time and brought some water and food. It was only one night, so as not to be hungry.
Uh ...
I have to say that Dane's previous concerns were quite justified. A tall and huge tree of life suddenly rises up on an island that was originally deserted. It must be quite noticeable and will definitely attract a lot of monsters to attack.
守 The vigil is essential when you know that there will be monsters on the island. Otherwise, the tree of life without self-defense ability, with only a few elf, and just a few monsters, can uproot the rising capital of Dane.
Sure enough, not long after the night came, the first wave of attacks came. When some whispered voices appeared outside the scene, Dane became alert. He awakened everyone from his sleep, instead of taking the risky option to attack, but chose a safer way: to stay beside the tree of life, Orioni, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
唯一 The only thing he was worried about was whether there would be too many enemies. At this moment, only Sarko and the mercenaries of the two squads were there to accompany him and stay with him at Orinel. Adding up to only twenty-six people, if the number of faceless troops encountered at the time of landing was more than thirty, the situation would become very serious.
Fortunately, such unlucky things didn't really happen. The number of enemies did reach more than thirty, but it wasn't the faceless people we saw earlier, but a group of black-skinned hairless hyenas.
This kind of hyena is bigger than the hyena that can be seen all year round in the yellow land of Hindler, but it is not particularly difficult to deal with. At least, a trained mercenary can definitely kill one head in a one-on-one heads-up. Especially now, the number of mercenaries has reached more than twenty, which is enough to form a battle line and fight against those hyenas. And those black-skinned hyenas obviously don't have enough wisdom to crack the human battlefield.
A rough estimate, Dane let go of his heart. This battle, he was sure to take down under the premise of very low damage.
The hyenas obviously didn't have any particularly high intelligence, as Dane had expected. With the greed and deceit brought about by instinct, they surrounded the heavily armed human mercenaries from time to time, exposing a pale tusks, and occasionally yelling as a threat. They instinctively feel that these humanoid creatures wearing armor that they have never seen before are not easy to deal with, but for these creatures with hot blood in their bodies, they have an instinct greed, as if As if a dog saw a bone, it wanted to pounce on it.
At first, the hyenas could also suppress greed. But as time goes on, the instincts of desire break through their original lack of reason. When the first hyena blasted towards the mercenaries, the following hyenas swooped up one after the other.
"Hooked! I know you animals can't help it! Hahaha!" Dean laughed and raised his sword.
With the demonstration of the head of the group, the mercenaries also fought bravely one by one. Dread ghost mercenaries are indeed a team that can run rampant in the southeast of Hindler. They have the discipline and training that most mercenary groups do not have. During the battle, there was no confusion often found in mercenary regiments. Even if the momentum is high, the opponent is not a strong enemy. They still maintain a tight battle formation, form a group, and cover each other to kill the hyenas.
The advantage of the mercenary team over the black-skinned hyena is crushing. An individual mercenary may only kill one hyena one-on-one, but when there is discipline and tacit cooperation, it is natural to take advantage of those stupid monsters who do not understand what cooperation is. Especially when Nicolas, a cavalier who is extremely rare among mercenaries, shouted ‘Courage is always with me! ’After that, a force that came from my heart rushed to the limbs, making the mercenaries more able to fight the enemy.
This is the role of the knight profession. Not only does it have a good combat ability, it also has a very powerful ability to inspire morale and enhance the combat effectiveness of friendly forces. It's a pity that the stray knight Sarko's strength level is still a little low. Although the effect of "Courage Inspiring" is not bad, he has not mastered other stronger abilities.
Alas, this is enough. After shouting his oath, Nicolas directly joined the battle carrying his sword and shield. Soon, this battle, which should have been evenly matched, turned into a slaughter.
