Chapter 131 The battle begins (10 updates)

Matthew saw Adam Smith's dignity, he was willing to cultivate his own talents, and he was also willing to give this shrewd and capable businessman a chance.

This is Adam Smith's cleverness!

In this world, strength and ability may not represent everything, but they are the foundation of everything.

Adam Smith's talents were not particularly outstanding.

According to normal development, even if he invests a considerable amount of money and resources, there is only a small probability that he will be able to break through and become a high-level professional.

However, Matthew knew quite well.

In a few years, when a new wave of magic emerges, almost everyone will have the talent to become a professional.

The only thing that can limit them is inheritance and resources.

Therefore, Matthew now pays more attention to the ability of talents!

Just by fighting and killing, you can only be a thug at best!

Most barbarian soldiers can complete this task well after obtaining sufficient resources and sophisticated equipment.

Talents who can stand alone are what Matthew values ​​the most!

You must be like Butler Ralph, who handles the development and internal affairs of the entire territory in an orderly manner.

Or like Angela, train soldiers, lead battles, protect territories, and solve military problems.

If Adam Smith had a certain ability to command battles, he would not have been able to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

As long as he can command properly and defend well, that will be enough.

The enemies coming from afar are a good group of test subjects.

They have a certain degree of discipline and their cooperation is quite tacit.

Although more than 1,000 people attacked dozens of adventurers, not even one was able to stay, which is really embarrassing.

But Matthew feels that these villains who are used to killing people still have considerable fighting ability.

"How can we find such a powerful bandit group? This battle will be more difficult!"

Hollar, who came on foot from afar, also had this idea.

As a spear to advance and surround the adventurers.

He should have led the charge, tore apart the scattered defense lines of the adventurers, surrounded more than 10 adventurers, and swallowed them whole.

Next, with the adventurer prisoners in hand, the maneuverability will be much better.

Whether using mind-attack tactics, quickly reduce the enemy's defensive momentum.

Or torture, intimidate, and weaken their determination to fight, which will provide considerable convenience for the next battle.

But what’s the result?

The long wait and the exhaustion of traveling greatly consumed their physical strength.

In addition, from the bottom of their hearts, they looked down upon the adventurers recruited by the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, and they did not try their best from the beginning.

The latter showed extraordinary vigilance.

They used the "silencing technique" scroll to launch a surprise attack, and were discovered when they approached about 30 meters away.

Hollar originally thought.

After discovering them, these adventurers will take chances like others, or they will sound a warning, thereby losing their last chance to escape.

Reality gave him a cold slap in the face.

The first time the adventurers saw them, they not only turned around and ran away, but they also ran extremely fast.

Hollar also saw it with his own eyes.

One of the leading adventurers actually tore open a spell scroll without hesitation, set off a gust of accelerating breeze, and led more than 10 adventurers to escape from their death encirclement!

"You idiots, I told you not to underestimate your opponents, but they still ran away!"

"Okay now, get ready to attack!"

"Everyone take a 30-minute break and grab your bucklers!"

"As long as we block at most 5 rounds of arrows, we can charge forward!"

"Don't tell me that you don't even have the strength to climb the wooden fence!"

The commander's roaring voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and every robber had an angry expression on his face.

Because they know that the enemy is not simple, and people will die next!

Hollar stopped his pursuit, counted the men as quickly as possible, led his men to sit down, took out the dried meat from his backpack, and slowly bit and swallowed it.

Rest time always passes quickly.

"They only have more than 500 professionals in total, and they don't even have a high-level professional. We will definitely win!"

"Kill all those who dare to resist, and we can earn at least tens of thousands of gold coins this trip!"

"Building a row of wooden railings just to block our group of black bandits? It's simply a wishful thinking!"

"Everyone, come with me!"

The loud shouts reached the ears of every robber.

A tall and burly high-level warrior rushed forward first, holding his sword high.

"Kill!!"

"Go!"

The bandits who wanted to vent their depression and desire to kill also followed them, holding up their shields and howling.

They have a lot of fighting experience, and they have great trust in the leader's strength and judgment. They will definitely win this time!

Seeing the robbers getting closer and closer, the cart drivers who climbed onto the wall felt uneasy and scared.

After all, they have only received more than 10 days of training. Except for professionals, others have never even seen blood.

Facing thousands of robbers who shouted loudly to kill, not turning around and running away was already the effect of Adam Smith's slogan just now.

Knowing that if this situation continued, the morale of the cart pullers would be lost, Adam Smith decisively gave the order:

"Set up the crossbow and shoot!"

The tough bowstring suddenly tore through the air, making a dull sound of "bang bang".

Each crossbow arrow costs more than 10 silver coins and is endowed with "hope". It flies out with a "swish".

They flew towards the oncoming robbers with a shrill sound breaking through the air.

The distance of more than 400 meters passes in the blink of an eye!

7-8 bandits fell to the ground in response, and the crossbow arrows tore their bodies apart like parchment.

The three robbers were killed instantly.

They are lucky.

Several other robbers were lying on the ground with their limbs broken, rolling like crazy and wailing.

The wooden buckler in my hand failed to play any role!

If you touch it, you will be disabled, if you hit it, you will die!

The terrifying destructive power of crossbow arrows is fully demonstrated!

During the charge, Hollar's heart trembled. He did not dare to look at the miserable condition of his companions and ran as fast as he could.

Adam Smith was overjoyed and shouted in a high-pitched voice:

"That's it, reload quickly."

"Ready! Release!"

The bandits who rushed forward about 70 to 80 meters were once again baptized by crossbows.

Even if they deliberately dispersed part of it, the dirt road that could be used for fast travel was only so wide.

Five or six more robbers fell to the ground screaming!

Even though the firing of the crossbow only lasted for 4-5 rounds, it also brought huge psychological pressure to the bandits.

This tortured and helpless way of dying made them feel depressed and crazy.

At the same time, seeing the tragic situation of the robbers rushing towards them, injured and lying on the ground, the originally uneasy pushcart drivers suddenly felt a different feeling in their hearts:

"It turns out that the vicious-looking robbers are also made of flesh and blood!"

Seeing the changes in the expressions on the cart pullers' faces, Adam Smith was overjoyed and shouted excitedly:

"Did you hear their screams?"

"They will also bleed and get injured. If you don't want to die, you have to kill them!"

"The 1st row of archers are ready, shoot!!!"

Scattered arrows flew out in scattered directions!
Chapter completed!
