In order to cause permanent trouble, Jackson was extremely ruthless. Lucio, who was unconscious in the volcanic ash, was dead. Even if someone rescued him, he would still be a cripple after being cured.
The students didn't want to offend Downton, so they wisely chose to ignore Lucio. Besides, the kid actually wanted to snatch the unicorn and leave alone. He deserved to die now.
"Take this and eat it when you have time." Downton handed the blue mountain cherry to Elaine and introduced her to the people of Tisen and what happened during this period.
"Downton, so many Sherman bears? Where did you get them?" Rose's eyes were bright and excited, thinking that if Downton's current strength and financial resources were worthy of hers.
"Relics!" Downton said concisely.
"How many gold coins per head?" Rose straightened her chest and abdomen, softened her voice, and showed what she thought was the most beautiful smile, but Downton only said "not for sale" and didn't even turn his head.
Rose pursed her lips and felt a little bitter. She had taken the initiative to show her kindness, but he didn't show any signs at all. He kept perfunctory. Did he have to chase after him?
Although the lava secret realm is hot, Celes and Charlotte can use magic to cool down, so they always wear cloaks, otherwise this will only cause more speculation.
Downton was not interested in explaining. He accepted Homer's teachings on how to become an excellent leader. His little notebook was filled with dense words, all of which were plans for the Altar of Vulcan strategy and what to do if something went wrong.
response measures taken.
Seeing Downton working so hard, Rose was too embarrassed to bother him. The other students finally understood why he was able to defeat Zanetti. This concentration alone should be rewarded.
The unruly Hutao completely let loose, riding a war bear around and enjoying the scenery. Quasimodo followed her and acted as a guard.
However, this is not without its benefits. At least she discovered several waves of adventurers and dragons, allowing the team to avoid them in time.
When the sunset once again dyed the sky, the boring journey was over, and everyone saw the temple built halfway up the mountain. However, no one cared to admire this majestic building, but stared at the people blocking the steps.
Mercenaries.
"This is the first temple discovered by the Savage Garden Mercenary Group. If you know better, get out of here."
The leader of a reserve group shouted, not taking the seven adventure groups blocked below seriously at all. If they were brave enough, they would have forced their way through.
"Hey, don't be too proud, be careful." A reserve leader of the Indian Head took a sip of water and sarcastically said. "Also, please remember that we also have a share in this temple."
"Soul mount?"
The leader of the savages wanted to retort, but when he saw Downton and his entourage rushing towards him on war bears, his eyes almost popped out.
"I am Di Polo, a dozen Shermans? Am I right?"
The leader of the Indian regiment also looked shocked at the sight of the dead.
The adventurers who were blocked in front of the steps and didn't know what to do also looked at this group of newcomers in surprise, their eyes spinning on their mounts.
"What are you doing?" Hu Tao pouted dissatisfiedly when he saw that there were five checkpoints on the steps, "Hey, you guys are blocking the road, can you move out of the way?"
There are six hundred-man regiments stationed on the only road leading to the temple. There are three each in Savage Garden and Indian Head. Although they are both reserve regiments, their strength is not bad.
As the two most famous mercenary groups in the northern part of the Western Continent, this reputation alone is enough to make some adventurers who want to forcefully attack the checkpoints weigh them.
"Haha, get out of the way? Do you think it's possible?" The leader of the savage group spit out thick phlegm. He stared at Downton and his entourage greedily, "Get out of here before I change my mind, otherwise you will be in trouble."
If the grand leader hadn't told him not to cause trouble and to guard the checkpoints to prevent adventurers from rushing in, he would have started to snatch the war bears long ago.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to be cleared!" Downton laughed.
After determining that there may be valuable mineral veins or potions in a certain area, in order to ensure profits, those powerful teams will usually clear the area and forcibly drive away nearby adventurers. If they do not leave, they will be attacked head-on.
"You idiot, why did you let them go?" the Indian regiment leader muttered in his opponent's ear, "The grand regiment commander won't let them cause trouble, but we can say they forced themselves through the checkpoint and killed them."
"This is a good excuse, and if the big group leaders get the War Bear, they won't blame us anymore, and maybe they can even be qualified to be the leader of the main group." The leader of the savage group looked happy, and there was already murderous intent in his eyes, "
I want half."
"No problem, 50/50." The Indian captain snapped his fingers, and all the main members of the team stood up and stared at Downton and his party. In their view, their side had the numerical advantage, and it was better to deal with these adventurers than to kill them.
Some ants are even easier.
"Back! Back quickly!"
Seeing the sudden change in the atmosphere, other adventure groups guessed that the other party had taken a fancy to Downton and his party's mounts and was about to snatch them away. They were worried about being affected and quickly retreated.
The war horses neighed and their hooves stamped frequently, stirring up countless dust.
"Celeste, Charlotte, prepare magic!"
Downton frowned.
"Downton, let's take a long-term view. Their power is very big, no different from some small principality lords." Rose persuaded Downton, but as soon as she finished speaking, the two captains also issued orders.
"Archers, all draw arrows!"
There were two hundred-man archer groups. At this time, they all stood up, took off their long bows, and aimed their arrows at Downton's group, ready to shoot at any time.
One centurion was left as a reserve team, and the remaining three held their scimitars tightly, shouted slogans, and marched at an orderly pace, creating psychological pressure on the enemy.
Harley blessed the whole group with divine magic, and Thiessen and his nineteen people rushed to the front of the team as quickly as possible to make human shields to protect the legal profession, but Downton's movements were faster.
The war gate opened, and the undead abominations rushed out. With their burly height, they were enough to cover the team.
"This is...the undead?"
The two regiment leaders were a little dumbfounded. How could they fight this battle if they were a hundred people abhorred? What they had in hand was a reserve regiment, and except for the ten captains who were magic users, the others were all ordinary warriors.
Sure enough, the war hasn't started yet. The morale of the two mercenary regiments has already dropped. Their usual tasks are to patrol, clear the area, and stand guard. It's almost not their turn to fight. It's okay to show off their power and fight with the wind. If they are to fight hard, they will
collapse.
"Get out of here. Move the checkpoints and get out of the way. Don't let me tell you a second time!" Downton held his battle ax and rode on a fire-trading saddle as he walked out from the crowd.
This time no one dared to laugh at Downton. The adventurers nearby looked at the Abomination Corps and had not yet recovered.
"What do you want to do? We are a mixed group of two large mercenary groups with over 10,000 people." The leader of the savage group roared fiercely, "Our leader's strength is at the dragon-slaying level, and he has good relationships with the great nobles of many countries.
Relationship."
"So much nonsense!"
Downton pulled out his gun and pointed it at his head.
Although the savage leader did not recognize this kind of weapon, he always felt that it was dangerous, so he instinctively activated the soul shield, but it was of no use.
boom!
After the projectile shattered the shield, it exploded into the skull of the savage leader, smashing most of his head into pieces.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, causing a series of exclamations.
The adventurer did not expect that Downton would take action as soon as he said it, and would not take these two prestigious mercenary groups seriously. He was extremely audacious, but what was even more terrifying was his weapon. It could penetrate the Judgment level with one shot.
Soul Shield.
Phew! Phew!
Some of the archers were frightened. They loosened their grip and shot arrows.
"You actually killed him?" The Indian leader looked shocked and shouted subconsciously, "Why are you still standing there? Shoot..."
As soon as this unlucky guy said the word "shoot", Jackson, who was hiding behind Quasimodo, held the Dawnbringer crossbow and pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrow shot through the air, followed the gap between the two shields, and shot through his neck.
"hit……!"
The Indian leader covered his neck, blood flowing from between his fingers. He wanted to order an attack. But his throat was damaged and he could not make a sound.
puff!
Another crossbow bolt penetrated his head.
"drive!"
Downton kicked the horse's belly with both legs, stepped on the fire to accelerate, and shot out like a shooting star.
Walnut and Quasimodo reacted very quickly and followed closely behind.
"Charge and disperse them!"
When he rushed past the Indian leader who was struggling to escape, Downton swung his ax and chopped off his head.
The giant guards charged on their horses and ran towards the steps.
Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!
The archers opened fire, the sound of trembling bowstrings was heard, and the arrows flew densely toward the enemy's head like locusts.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The iron-tufted arrows hit the abominations without leaving even a scratch.
Both regiment leaders were dead, and the mercenaries were hesitating and didn't know what to do. Then they saw Downton rushing in and slashing his ax horizontally, killing three of his comrades in half. The abomination who followed behind was even more shocked.
Horrifying, the war bear overturned many unlucky people along the way, tearing apart the dragon's teeth and swinging them, cutting out corpses all over the ground.
After the archers shot the second wave of arrows, Sharan's chain lightning attack also fell among them, followed by Celes' arcane missiles.
Rose didn't expect Downton to be so strong and started to kill directly. However, seeing the five reserve teams being suppressed in the blink of an eye, she suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with that kid doing this. If she had such a powerful force,
They will also choose tough handling methods.
"The right to speak in this world is ultimately in the hands of those with force!" Rose sighed with emotion and began to cast spells, but there were not many mercenaries for her to kill.
After losing their leader and receiving a head-on attack, these inexperienced mercenaries ran away crying, and some even lost their weapons.
"Walk!"
Downton didn't want to argue with these ordinary mercenaries and ran up the stairs.
"Isn't it? So tough?"
"Killing the leader is like chopping melons and vegetables. It's so domineering!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to the temple to grab the divine fire!"
The remaining adventure groups never let go of this cheap opportunity and immediately followed behind. (To be continued...)
