Ruian quickly started patrolling, but after walking back and forth inside the city gate several times, he found that this patrolling was not as interesting as he imagined.
Especially when Ruian saw countless different looks staring at the soldiers, Ruian was filled with emotion.
Those who were better dressed and seemed to be nobles or had some status, simply ignored Ruian and the soldiers guarding the city gate, treating Ruian and others as if they didn't exist, as if they didn't even want to take a look.
Of course, Ruian and others did not dare to offend these people under the constant warnings of the team leader.
Those holding weapons, or those with fierce looks and wearing swordsman uniforms looked at Ruian and other soldiers with disdain. Ruian had heard bursts of disdainful laughter from people passing by several times. Of course, in
After being warned by the squad leader, naturally he would not mess with these people.
The rest were the fearful looks in the eyes of some civilians, and the eyes of several of them were not only fearful, but also full of hatred. Ryan could not imagine what the soldiers of the city guard had done to fill these civilians with fear and hatred.
Ryan suddenly felt that these soldiers were pitiful and hateful.
However, what does this have to do with Rui'an? Rui'an is just here to cover one day's work, and then he gets the money and leaves. It has nothing to do with it anymore.
Time passed slowly, and Ryan finally discovered why the gatekeepers of the city guard were so feared and hated. They just used some violence against poor-looking civilians when there were many people, to make them line up, or to make excuses to check.
Contraband items are just a tip for some small traders.
Ruian was just a little disgusted by the behavior. He was just disgusted and had no idea of taking revenge. Maybe it was because he had seen a lot of such things in his previous life.
Strangely, the other three companions who came with Ruian didn't react at all to these things. It seemed that everyone was used to it.
In this way, Ruian continued to patrol boringly until noon, taking turns to have lunch and continue after returning.
Nothing happened for half a day.
Just in the evening, Ruian thought that the day would pass without incident. Suddenly, a rapid "clatter" sound came from the distance. Ruian was startled, and then he saw a fast horse racing rapidly from far away in the city.
Rush over.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked, and everyone drew their weapons.
The squad leader jumped up from the chair he had been sitting on and ran to the front to watch.
The fast horse approached quickly, and at this time, everyone saw that there were also people in city guard uniforms on the horses.
Before the people on the horse could get close, they shouted loudly: "Captain of the city guard, listen to the order, close the city gate quickly and catch the robbers."
After hearing this, the team leader immediately turned around and shouted to everyone: "Hurry, close the city gate quickly."
Several soldiers beside the city gate immediately pushed the heavy city gate to close. After a "squeaking" sound, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers placed the bolt on the back of the door.
Next, under the leadership of the team leader, everyone lined up to prepare for battle, pretending to prevent the bandits from breaking out of the encirclement.
Ruian and his three companions each held their own swords and followed the example of other city guards, posing as if they were ready for battle. However, Ruian had some thoughts and stood behind the squad leader.
Next, the messenger soldier who jumped off the horse whispered a few words to the squad leader, and then the two of them whispered to each other, then hurriedly jumped on the horse and left.
The team leader turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Listen, everyone, a group of robbers appeared in the city and robbed the largest jewelry store in the city. They are now being hunted by our city guards. We just need to guard the city gate and be careful not to let anyone let go.
They can just escape from us."
After hearing this, Ruian felt nervous for a while, but he was even more excited. He hadn't fought with anyone for a long time. In the past, he had to fight with his classmates. These trivial fights didn't count. It was exciting to compete with other people's lives.
excited.
At this time, many civilians had gathered near the city gate, but they had been informed that bandits had appeared and asked them to wait aside.
After waiting for a long time, almost a quarter of an hour passed, but no robbers were seen escaping here.
As time went by, there were more and more civilians. The team leader had to send several soldiers to clear the area, drive the civilians aside, and leave a large open space in front of the city gate. In case there were bandits who attacked the city gate later,
, accidentally injuring civilians.
At this moment, the team leader has not received the order to open the city gate to let people out, so he can only waste his time like this.
After a while, when everyone was waiting impatiently, a burst of people's voices came from the distance.
Suddenly, all the soldiers became nervous.
After a while, Ruian saw three men at the end of the street facing the city gate, desperately rushing towards the city gate. Behind these three men, there were dozens of city guard soldiers chasing after them.
.
Ryan guessed that these three men were probably the robbers the squad leader had just mentioned, and behind them were the city guard soldiers who were chasing them.
The three robbers were covered in blood. They probably had a fierce fight before. Now they got rid of the siege of the city guard soldiers and rushed towards the city gate. They must have wanted to rush out of the city gate.
Originally there were still some pedestrians on the street, but under the threat of the three robbers running and waving their swords, they all screamed and ran away in fear.
The three robbers looked like they were at the end of their rope, screaming and rushing forward with all their might, which really frightened many people.
As for the city guard soldiers who were following behind them, they were shouting and following closely. It was very strange that they were not chasing very fast. Judging from their speed, even if they chased for another day, they would not be able to catch up with these three robbers.
The robbers gradually approached the city gate.
The squad leader shouted: "Get ready to fight."
Everyone quickly assumed a posture ready for battle, but Ruian saw that the feet of several city guard soldiers were trembling next to them.
At this time, Ruian was deeply doubtful about the combat effectiveness of the city guard soldiers.
After a few breaths, the three desperadoes rushed to a place ten meters away from the city gate. At this time, they also saw dozens of soldiers waiting for them to rush over at the city gate.
Immediately, the leader of the bandits shouted: "Charge over." Then, he exploded with fighting energy in his body, his sword glowed brightly, and he rushed towards the soldiers of the city guard.
However, to everyone's surprise, the other two robbers did not respond to the leader's call, but instead fled in other directions on both sides.
The bandit leader was furious, but he couldn't care less at this time and could only rush to the city gate.
The city guards who were chasing after him quickly divided into three teams and continued the pursuit.
Ruian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the robber rushing over. There was no sword light coming out of the long sword. Fortunately, this was a low-level swordsman. However, under the desperate attack of the robber, it was estimated that a level 3 swordsman would also
Even if you come up, you can't resist it.
Soon the robber rushed forward. He faced the city guard soldiers who were waiting in full formation without any fear. At this time, he could no longer be afraid. However, he did not choose a weak spot to rush over. Instead, he chose
The strongest point is to rush towards the squad leader.
Taking advantage of the fierce momentum of running over, the robber jumped up suddenly, shouted loudly, raised the sword in his hand high, and struck hard at the squad leader.
It is estimated that this robber used such powerful moves in an attempt to force his opponent back so as to open a way for him to leave.
However, the robber misjudged the character of the squad leader. At this critical moment, the squad leader was not forced to retreat. On the contrary, he burst out with blood, shouted, and the sword in his hand also shined brightly, and struck the robber's sword fiercely.
.
There was a "bang" sound, and the two swords intersected. Suddenly the captain's long sword was no match for Fang's powerful and heavy move. He let out a scream, blood spurted out from his mouth, and his body involuntarily stepped back.
The soldiers standing behind the squad leader not only did not approach him, but were so frightened that they immediately ducked away.
This time, the robber was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.
But as soon as his body hit the ground, he stopped laughing.
Because at this moment, it saw a heavy sword piercing his chest with a stabbing method. At this time, the robber's sword could not be withdrawn. More importantly, the angle chosen for this sword was very tricky.
It's not something that a robber who has just landed on the ground and hasn't yet regained his balance can dodge.
Immediately, the long sword stabbed the robber in the chest, breaking through the leather armor and bursting out blood and flesh. The robber let out a scream, backed away desperately, and then pulled out the long sword from his chest, but blood had already spurted out from the wound of the sword.
This sword was used by Ruian when he saw that the team leader was injured and retreated, and when the situation was urgent.
This sword move was a move that Ruian had recently mastered in basic sword skills. It was a move he created himself. Ruian didn't expect it to be so powerful, and he actually succeeded in stabbing the menacing robber with one move.
