Ruian made some inquiries in the town and determined his next destination, Saiyan City, a place known as the "City of Martial Arts Hall" in the Kingdom of Alor. ~
Since Ruian had planned to join a martial arts gym, he naturally couldn't just find a martial arts gym to join. Naturally, he had to find a better martial arts gym. So, going to Saiyan City, which is said to have more than 100 martial arts gyms, was naturally the first choice.
Saiyan City is located in the southern region of the Alor Kingdom. Therefore, Ryan's original plan to go to the northern capital of the Alor Kingdom was cancelled. He had to turn around and turn south before heading to Saiyan City.
Ruian inquired about the town where it is located. It takes at least ten days to travel to Saiyan City. Moreover, there are many dangers along the way, because the southern region of the Alor Kingdom is a relatively poor area of the entire Alor Kingdom.
At the same time, the folk customs are extremely tough, so there will be many bandits blocking the road and robbing people on the way to Saiyan City.
But for Ruian, with his current strength as a level 5 swordsman and level 1 magician, he is not afraid of robbers at all. Because under normal circumstances, robbers are basically low-level swordsmen, or even ordinary people who are not swordsmen.
There are relatively few bandits who are intermediate swordsmen or above.
As for the robbers who are high-level swordsmen, Ruian has heard of them, but he has never seen them before after traveling for so long. Besides, Ruian is alone and has nothing to worry about. Even if he encounters countless robbers, he cannot defeat them in numbers.
If so, he can also choose to escape.
After a little preparation, Ruian embarked on his journey to Saiyan City.
Along the way, Ruian was extremely relaxed. He stopped and walked as if he was having fun. In this way, Ruian spent a lot more time on the road.
On the road, Ruian met several robbers who couldn't keep their eyes open. When they saw Ruian alone, they wanted to rob Ruian. Naturally, their results were tragic. Ruian was merciless against these robbers and killed several of them immediately.
, the other robbers immediately fled.
Ryan's mentality towards bandits has changed now. He no longer has the same respect for life as he did in the Principality of Purs. Because Ryan knows that once he becomes a bandit, he will become violent and cruel. Those bandits who cannot be violent and cruel
.You will be eliminated by other bandits at the beginning.
Moreover, once a robber kills someone during a robbery, he will continue to kill people in subsequent robberies. Once the precept is broken for such things as murder, killing will no longer be taken seriously in the future. This point, Ruian is deeply aware of.
I have some experience. When I think back to the first time Ryan killed someone, he was so bitter that he vomited. But now, Ryan kills without batting an eyelid.
Therefore, Ruian's strategy for dealing with robbers is to fight violence with violence. If you kill a robber, maybe one less person will be killed by this robber in the future. Of course, Ruian also wants to scare other robbers by killing the robber. When other robbers see Ryan
The robbers were even more brutal. Naturally, they were frightened and ran away. In this way, there would be less robbers to tangle with.
However, Ruian has not yet entered the southern region. He has not encountered many bandits and they are not very strong. When Ruian entered the southern region, he finally realized that the bandits here were really rampant.
The bandit teams in the south are generally very large in number. Several times when Ruian encountered large groups of bandits, he was unwilling to continue fighting. As soon as he saw them, he immediately turned around and ran, then circled and continued moving forward. Of course, the same was true for large groups of bandits.
Those who do big business will never look at a single traveler like Ruian.
Finally, there came a time when Ruian couldn't stand it anymore.
In a wilderness in the south, Ruian was hurrying on his way, and he saw a caravan of two to three hundred people in front of the wilderness, surrounded by a band of hundreds of bandits.
The caravan was very large, with nearly a hundred carriages loaded with all kinds of goods, which showed that this caravan was doing big business. Ruian counted the numbers and found that there were nearly a hundred mercenaries guarding the caravan.
Logically speaking, a caravan guarded by so many mercenaries should have unimpeded access in the southern region. No blind bandit would dare to rob such a powerful caravan.
Generally, there is a limit to the number of robbers in a large group. Generally, fifty or sixty people is the limit of a bandit team. If a bandit team has too many people, even if the goods are robbed, there will not be enough to share among the robbers. After a little observation, Ruian found out
This group of hundreds of bandits was composed of three gangs of bandits.
Bandits rarely unite, but once they unite, it means that the things they robbed are enough to be shared among three families, and the caravan that robbed them is very strong, and cannot be swallowed up by a single bandit.
When Ryan arrived at the scene, the fighting between the two sides had already begun.
The caravan surrounded all the carriages in a circle. Among the carriages, there seemed to be several carriages carrying people. From time to time, several heads poked out of the windows to look. The caravan drivers stood beside the carriages, taking care of the people who were being received from time to time.
The frightened horses and caravan crew all drew out their swords and stood in the inner circle to form the last line of defense. However, considering their combat effectiveness, this was just a better arrangement than nothing.
Hundreds of mercenaries from the caravan formed a circle and guarded the outside, facing a large number of very ferocious bandits.
The robbers did not form a circle, but only formed a half circle. This gave the already large number of robbers an advantage over the mercenaries.
The two sides were fighting fiercely, and it was obvious that the mercenaries were at a disadvantage.
I don’t know what trick the robbers had used to plot against the mercenaries of the caravan. As a result, the bodies of more than ten mercenaries were lying on the ground around them. This shocked the mercenaries and made everyone feel low. On the contrary, the robbers
The momentum is high, and the more you fight, the braver you become.
The robbers were obviously carefully selected, and almost all were robbers with a slightly higher swordsman level. Ruian saw 20 to 30 robbers with intermediate swordsman or above, among whom there were more than ten level 4 swordsmen.
On the other hand, in terms of mercenaries, there are several mercenaries who look like level 5 swordsmen. The mercenary leader is a mercenary who looks like a level 6 swordsman. There are as many as twenty intermediate swordsmen. Logically speaking, the mercenaries are stronger than
Robbers, but why are mercenaries still at a disadvantage?
It turns out that many of this group of mercenaries lack combat experience and lack the determination to face death and fight with others. The robbers are all people who fight with their heads all day long. Therefore, although the swordsman level of the robbers is low,
A little, but the strength and experience are indeed higher than that of the mercenaries. In addition, the number of bandits is slightly more than that of the mercenaries. With more people fighting fewer people, the bandits will naturally have the upper hand.
The bandits' strategy was very good. They arranged for special personnel to besiege several high-level swordsmen among the mercenaries. Among them, the mercenary leader was besieged by two level 4 swordsmen and a level 3 swordsman, leaving several level 5 swordsmen.
, was besieged by two intermediate swordsmen. The besieging robbers had no intention of attacking the mercenaries who had defeated the opponent's high-level swordsmen. They just clung to the opponent, used defense to prevent the opponent's attack, and surrounded the opponent.
Delay the opponent and prevent him from taking the time to attack others.
The robber's strategy is to hold off the senior swordsmen among the mercenaries so that other robbers can kill the opponent's other relatively weaker mercenaries. Once the other mercenaries are eliminated, the remaining senior swordsmen will also be killed.
It is completely unable to withstand attacks from more people.
The mercenary of the opponent's senior swordsman obviously knew the robber's intention and tried to break out of the robber's siege several times, but was unable to do so due to the robber's fearless defense.
Ryan watched for a while. He was hesitant. Should he join the battle and join forces with the mercenaries to defeat the bandits? Or should he go around in a circle and leave here?
Finally, Ryan couldn't stand it anymore because he saw a gap in the defensive circle set up by the mercenaries was opened by the robbers. Then the robbers broke into the gap and began to kill the caravan's clerks and coachmen unscrupulously.
Seeing this scene, Ryan could predict that once the bandits eliminated the mercenaries, it would not be as simple as just stealing the caravan's goods, but would kill everyone.
Generally speaking, as long as the robbed caravan does not mess around, the robbers will rob the goods and not kill the people who do not resist. However, this kind of behavior of killing everyone is not uncommon, and it does happen occasionally.
Suddenly, Ruian's blood boiled and he immediately decided to help the mercenaries.
I saw Ruian pulling out the heavy sword from his back, shouting with all his strength, and rushed towards the battlefield ahead.
Ryan's loud shout was very powerful and loud, and immediately attracted the attention of most people on the battlefield. However, when the robbers saw that Ryan was alone, they all turned back with disdain and continued fighting.
When the mercenaries saw that the only reinforcement was Ruian, they immediately turned the glimmer of hope in their hearts into heavy disappointment.
Ryan completely ignored what others thought about him, and immediately pounced on the most critical person among the mercenaries.
These mercenaries who are in the most critical situation are all the weakest mercenaries. Although they are also facing the weakest bandits, they are no match for these experienced and desperate bandits. Many mercenaries are even weaker.
The soldiers have been killed, and the remaining mercenaries are struggling to support themselves. Several mercenaries even suffered many sword wounds.
Ruian's chosen opponents were the weakest bandits. His strategy was to use his own advantages to kill some bandits first and rescue the critical mercenaries.
Ruian rushed in front of the robbers and found that the robbers in front of him were looking at him with contempt. Ruian was a little confused, why did the robbers look down on him so much? Could it be that they saw that there was no sword gleam or light on his heavy sword?
Do you just think that you are a hot-headed idiot who cannot distinguish the situation?
Ruian just thought for a moment, then put it aside, and immediately swung the heavy sword to attack the nearest robber. Halfway through the swing of the heavy sword, a sword light more than three feet long suddenly appeared from the tip of the sword, and the man in front of him seemed to be only level 1.
A robber with a swordsman level was cut in half with his sword.
Ryan's sword was so fast that the killed robber didn't even have time to change the contemptuous look in his eyes into something else.
This sword shocked the surrounding robbers. But when the robbers were about to take action, they found that it was already too late.
