Chapter 15 Gangsters
Fierce battle is in full swing.
The army of Orpheic Roc seemed to have enough strength, and there was indescribable elegance in every move. The golden gun was waving at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The shadows of the gun were like balls of golden flames, constantly floating towards the surrounding ice and snow silver fox cavalry. It's a pity that the ice and snow silver fox cavalry had no way to appreciate this beauty.
Behind the Golden Lion are one hundred golden knights, who roll in a silver ice field like a golden wave. Wherever the golden waves go, the formation of the ice and snow silver foxes is easily divided. The remaining golden knights are a team of ten people and three teams in a group. The front team continues to divide the enemy, cut out more than a dozen cavalry from the already chaotic enemy formation, and encircle them with the two teams followed. In a moment, they will wipe out the knights of these ice and snow silver foxes. Then they will divide and encircle and annihilate them in an orderly manner.
In the golden waves, Roger and others looked very stunning, just like a piece of colorful garbage floating in a clear spring. Not to mention that the dragon and the beauty mercenaries have different costumes, different colors, and scattered formations, the combat power alone is quite eye-catching.
Regardless of the terrifying strength of the twelve round table knights approaching the Paladin and the outstanding combat power of the Golden Lion Knights, even the Ice and Snow Silver Fox Knights are quite powerful. At this moment, facing a strong enemy, the resolute and tenacious knight spirit is commendable. Without the existence of Roger and others, this battle can also be regarded as a classic example of knights' combat.
The dragon and the beauty are unique. Dozens of timid groups surrounded the wounded and hid far away from the battlefield.
There were about fifty cavalry following Roger. As long as they saw the opportunity, they surrounded five or six ice and snow silver fox knights, they would kill each other. Everyone rushed forward, and everyone was brave and incompetent, and they rushed forward with guns and swords behind. Various weapons were scattered and greeted people and horses together. It was a real melee. In addition, they were originally a swordsman, but they only played a guest appearance as a cavalry today. They were able to kill themselves and rushed to the opponent's knights from the horse. The two rolled on the ground. The dragon and the beauty mercenary immediately had old fists, but they showed the secret skills of the market gangsters before joining the army.
Roger was determined to command, with a general style, and was not ashamed of his gangster's fighting style. In a chaotic battlefield, the fat man could always lead a team to find a small group of Snow Fox Cavalry, fighting less, but not being hit by the squadron of enemy soldiers. It was really a vicious, full of strategies, calm and courageous military genius. This battle became one of the topics of talks that Roger boasted after drinking. Although the listener disagreed, he refuted silently.
Roger became more and more braver in the battle, and led his team to rush. The fat man got a crossbow from somewhere. When he met the Snow Fox Cavalry, he lifted the crossbow and shot it. Within ten meters, he almost hit every shot. Of course, he shot a horse. Even if he didn't hit it, Feng Yue followed the sickle and cut off the horse's legs. After the Ice and Snow Silver Fox Knight was caught, the dragon and the beauty mercenaries were supported and served, and with one of the ten enemies, they were all invincible.
Although the wind fox mage Eri was a little disrespectful, he was strong, but unfortunately he met the female demon Elisis. Out of jealousy of this beautiful woman, Eri targeted the witch of ice and black flames as soon as the war started. Several tornados were issued one after another, and two storm giants formed by a blue hurricane more than five meters high. Elisis emitted all the black flame balls, but there were a little more. More than twenty black flames in front flew towards Eri in various trajectories. The black flames in front hit the tornado Eri immediately exploded violently. The hurricane mixed with flames formed a terrifying shock wave, spreading rumblingly, and everywhere they went, people were overturned and smoke filled.
The smoke and dust in front of him slightly dissipated. Ery was frightened to find that more than a dozen black flame balls were already in front of him. In desperation, he quickly flipped down from the horse's back, ate a dog chewing mud on the ground, and finally escaped a disaster. However, he could escape the first day of the first day and the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The black flame exploded around the Wind Fox Magician. A tiny mushroom cloud rose, and the flames covered dozens of meters of radius. The flame waves passed, leaving behind a charred corpse. The Wind Fox Magician was not dead yet, but just unconscious. In the center of a scorched land, his staff was inserted alone. There was originally a white cloth on the top of the staff, but only silk ashes were left.
With the fall of the Silver Fox Knight, the war soon came to an end. As for counting casualties, cleaning the battlefield, managing prisoners of war, and other trivial matters, they were responsible for it. Ophiroc rode his horse and Eliss to the top of the hill, scanning the entire battlefield, waiting for the report from his subordinates. The ice and snow silver fox cavalry of the brigade were disarmed and escorted to the center of concentrating. A round table knight looked at the prisoners and said, "This time, the four ice and snow silver foxes were wiped out, and the cavalry troops were completely wiped out by us. They had become a second-rate mercenary group and could no longer pose a threat to the principality."
Ophiroc smiled and shook his head: "Don't forget that we just caught a few little foxes. There is also an old fox. Not to mention that he still has eight thousand mercenaries, even if he doesn't have a soldier, he can't underestimate it."
At this time, there was a noise under the hills, but Roger's colorful army returned from work. A long rope behind the cavalry was tied with more than 30 silver fox cavalry, and everyone had a bruised nose and a swollen face. The mercenaries of the Dragon and Beauty also had some minor injuries, but there were few sword injuries, mostly blue and purple. As for the large amount of dry blood on their bodies, they were also obtained from the previous battle and had nothing to do with this battle.
Roger's left eye was swollen, Kate's mouth broke, only Franco was scarred, and he was proud and pointed at the two of them all the way, saring loudly.
"Rogge, as a magician, you don't see you playing magic. How can you always use brute force to hit the axe? I've never seen a magician who loves fighting with people so much. Tsk, do you really plan to be able to do magic and martial arts? If there were no skeleton Fengyue, I think you would have been cut into pieces of flesh. Now that you have used a crossbow, you really shoot the horse first. But why is your eyes blue? You can't hit your horse's head? Oh, look at the magician, the girl who is so popular around Orpheic Roc, is all flying."
Roger was extremely dissatisfied: "Isn't it the magic that summoning Feng Yue?"
Franco retorted mercilessly: "It's magic. But can you beat Feng Yue now? Have you ever seen a magician who can't beat his pet? And your skeleton is indeed strange. I have never heard of any skeleton who uses a sickle, let alone a blow and kick people. Only you can summon such a vicious skeleton."
Seeing Franco turn his head and stare at him, Kate immediately took the initiative: "I know, it's not true to the knight's identity when I fall to the ground. But what about you, hiding behind the back and stabbing people's thighs is not necessarily a noble way, right?"
Franco looked ashamed: "I don't prick the places where the flesh is exposed, can't I just pick up armor and tie it? When I drink too much brandy, wouldn't I?" Kate was speechless immediately.
Seeing that the people were approaching the top of the hill, they stopped saring each other, thrusting their chests and bulging belly, looking gentle. For a moment, their humble and polite appearance could deceive several people. Kate's face was serious and his whole body exuded a sacred atmosphere; Franco's handsome and elegant style, his black hair was dispersed, revealing an artist's temperament. Even Roger seemed to have a layer of treasure light on his fat face.
It’s a pity that everyone in Qiuding is extremely powerful and has a deep skill. He has already listened to the conversations of several people without missing a word.
Ophiroc had a smile on his face, while the twelve round table knights all had strange expressions. Elyss had no expression, but the black flames around him rose more than ten feet high, and countless twisted faces appeared and disappeared in the flames of hell.
After the waves, there will always be a brief calm. The ice and snow silver fox has no response to this defeat, and the Principality of Bavaria neither issued a statement nor took any further action, just as if this war did not exist at all. Politics is always puzzling.
The battle between the Golden Lion and the Ice and Snow Silver Fox quickly spread throughout the continent, and was called the Battle of the Lion Fox. In this battle, the Golden Lion Knights defeated three times the enemy with 500 people, and only 50 people were killed or injured. Within one day, the four god foxes were either killed or captured, and all were wiped out. The four brigades of the Ice and Snow Silver killed a total of 700 people, and were captured by 800 people, and only more than 300 remaining soldiers fled back to the Duchy of Ron. After this battle, the Golden Lion Knights rose to prominence and vaguely became one of the top ten knights in the mainland. Orpheicoke was considered the most promising person among the younger generation in the mainland who was in the hope of becoming a paladin.
However, no matter how surging the waves are, there will be various bubbles, and there will be darkness where there is light. After this battle, the name of another mercenary group gradually entered people's vision.
The "Dragon and Beauty" mercenary group is officially known to the world. The main reason is that it killed the "butcher" Hart of the snow fox. They were also very active in the battle of the lion and fox, but their specific deeds are not known due to the concealment of the intention. There are various versions of rumors in the street shop, and the speakers do not take them seriously, and the listeners do not care. After all, compared with the protagonists of the battle of the lion and fox, the Dragon and Beauty mercenary group only plays the role of green leaves and clowns.
No matter how small the green leaves are, they need sunlight and nutrients. The nutrients of a plant will naturally give priority to the most dazzling flowers. If the green leaves want to flourish, they can only plunder the roots and deep soil.
After the war, Roger and others were granted the title of Sellersburg as they wished. This title was originally just a reputation, and for people such as Roger and Et, who may not have a territorial inheritance, it was equivalent to increasing their value. However, Rance, Franco, and Kate didn't care.
There are two small towns and fourteen villages within the territory of Sellersburg, with a population of only 5,000. It was originally a territory of a declining nobleman. Thirty years ago, the last bloodline of this nobleman died of illness here. Since then, according to the law of the alliance, this place has been classified as the Principal of Bavaria. Before being occupied by the snow fox, the annual tax on this poor land was only a few dozen gold coins, which was not enough to pay for the living expenses of an ordinary nobleman's child in one year. Therefore, soon this small castle became a forgotten corner and gradually abandoned.
But the discovery of that fine iron ore will change all this.
In essence, fine iron ore is still iron ore, but the grade is much higher, and high-quality steel can be directly refined. Ordinary iron ore can only produce iron first and then steel. The quality of the steel made is often not very good. It still requires blacksmiths to temper it for thousands of times to remove impurities and refined into fine steel. After many processes, although the price of fine iron ore is often more than ten times that of ordinary iron ore, the price of high-quality weapons made is still cheaper.
These nobles are a little scum, but they are definitely not a scumbag. On the contrary, they are all naturally sensitive to wealth. No wonder, birds of birds of birds fly together, and people are divided into groups. Among the few people, except Franco, they all have short pocket money since childhood, but because they are nobles, they are used to luxury. The huge gap between greed and gold coins in their pockets can only be made up by their minds. The so-called attention is learned everywhere. Over the past ten years, the nobles and scumbags have learned a lot of money-making methods after hearing what they hear.
At this moment, several noble scum were crowded in the low and humid mine pit, watching the coolies start mines.
Several coolies supported the iron rod, and other coolies waved the hammers and landed heavily on the iron rod, making a loud "bang" sound. After a few hammers, some raw ore fell, and the coolies waiting behind put the raw ore into a cloth bag and transported it out of the mine. Seeing the black ore falling down piece by piece, Roger couldn't help but feel excited. "Crash!" A piece of raw ore fell out of the coolies' bag and rolled to Roger's feet. A large and thick supervisor raised his whip high and shouted angrily: "Damn, dare to be lazy for me! If I don't slap you to death today, I will make me turn into a skeleton for the necromancer!"
This time, Roger's taboo was so disgusting that Feng Yue was inexplicably angry in the other world. The fat man shouted, "Stop!"
The supervisor's arm, which was in mid-air, stopped immediately, and hurriedly ran over and nodded and bowed: "What are your instructions?" Roger glanced at the coolie who was trembling on the ground. The coolie looked in his forties, thin as a hair, and no more plump than Fengyue. The wrinkles on his face were covered with black mineral powder. His pair of dull and turbid eyes were filled with fear. Cooley was only wearing a shiny shirt with no original color, and several deep whip marks could be seen on the exposed skin. Roger refused to comment and waved his hand. Cooley carried the ore and walked out of the cave with great gratitude.
Rog leaned over and picked up the raw ore, gently twisted it with his fingers, as if stroking the snow-white skin of his beloved. The fat face was so gentle and holy that the supervisor on the other side was stunned.
The hammer fell heavily on the iron rod. An elderly coolie's hands shook, and the gravel splattered, and a wisp of blood flowed down the tiger's mouth. The old coolie glanced at the vigilant who was eyeing him, gritted his teeth and held the iron rod tightly. The hammer fell, and the huge pain made his face twitch. The old coolie squinted her eyes and waited for the hammer to fall again, but she didn't wait. He opened his eyes strangely and saw a snow-white cotton cloth in front of him. The old coolie looked up and saw Roger's gentle fat face. "Pull it up." The fat man said softly. The old coolie hesitated for a long time before taking the cotton cloth with his trembling hands, and the blood immediately dyed a few snow-red plum blossoms on it.
Roger turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, and he sternly said to the stupid supervisor who was beside him: "There is no absolute necessity in the future, and you are not allowed to whip these coolies again!" After a pause, Roger looked up and down at the supervisor again, and saw his hair standing up and down, "This, Lord, you won't like me, what should you do? What should you do?" The supervisor gritted his teeth, "Work hard, the future is important, just close your eyes..." Roger stared at the supervisor who was gritting his teeth with some surprise, and threw down a sentence in an expert tone: "Your bones are a little bit worse for the Necromancer to be a skeleton."
When several nobles drilled out of the mine, the sun was approaching the west mountain and had been in the mine for most of the day without realizing it. This fine iron ore is so important that several nobles must take care of everything and observe each process carefully. The dark, damp, noise and unpleasant smell cannot be compared with the temptation of wealth. In the eyes of several noble scum, the dark ore emits golden light.
Several noble scum were very surprised by Roger's performance today. Franco directly and viciously suspected that Roger had slandered the head in the battle. The fat man smiled and said nothing, and his mind was a voice of old and wise: "Be kind to everyone who creates wealth for you." "Old guy, I have left something useful." The fat man thought viciously.
According to legend in mainland China, there is a strong man named De Kleck who has been mediocre since childhood, but with his perseverance, he has been practicing hard in the mountains for 80 years. Finally, at the age of 95, he finally became one of the several sword saints in the mainland. Three years later, before his death, De Kleck said to several disciples: "In my life, there is nothing else except swords."
Although the paranoia of the nobles and scums of wealth are different from the level of De Kleck, their essence is still the same. Since dealing with the fine iron ore, their elegance, art, temperament and taste have all flew beyond the clouds in the nine heavens. For a few days, scums have been struggling with the coolies, and they have to observe carefully every link. At the time of sunset, several people gathered in the small dining room, barbecue, bread and inferior red wine, which was a meal. The moon was in the sky, and thunderous snoring sounds were heard one after another.
This is a paranoid era.
