Viewed from the air, the space of the twelve thunderstorm mercenaries is continuously compressed by the converging water and fire chains. This makes them look like a bundle of straw strangled by ropes.
A thunderstorm mercenary roared and slashed at the approaching chain with his sword.
However, this violent blow did not improve his situation. Although the entangled chain of water and fire was broken inch by inch, the chaotic elements suddenly out of control made the space in front of him like a powder keg thrown into sparks.
.
Boom! A ball of red light flashed.
The detonation of the huge energy of heaven and earth directly sent him flying backwards.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, some Thunderstorm mercenaries tried to jump out. But as soon as their bodies were in the air, chains were wrapped around them like piranha vines, restraining them. Some were even hit directly, like whips.
It fell to the ground like a rag doll.
Amidst a series of magical rays of light, the Thunderstorm mercenaries were in a panic.
At this moment, the giant dragon transformed by the nine Ice Star mercenaries roared into their formation.
It was like being swept by a hurricane. For a moment, only the center of the battle group was seen flipping over.
This scene made the people around them excited.
At this point in the battle, the battle had finally completely reversed. It didn't take Roy's magic and the Ice Star mercenary's phantom formation to cause much casualties to the opponent. It was just the obstruction of the Thunderstorm mercenary team.
This means that they will have no chance of making a comeback!
"kill!"
With deafening shouts of death, Landreaux broke through the enemy's blockade.
Behind him, dozens of mercenaries, including Lake, Larry, Wood, and Olivia, rushed out one after another. They were running very fast, like a herd of wild horses that had broken through the fence.
"kill!"
On the other side, Sanchez and Xia Zuo also led the people to rush over. They ran into the formation of the Thunderstorm mercenaries, and when the long swords and axes in their hands rose and fell, countless blood rains were splashed.
It is said that everyone pushed down the wall. At this time, the Thunderstorm mercenaries finally lost the courage to continue fighting.
"Walk!"
As several thunderstorm bright knights fled, the thunderstorm mercenaries completely collapsed. Except for a few who could not escape in time and some who were slow to react, everyone else fled in a rush.
Soon, Landero had already joined Alves.
When he supported the crumbling Alves, countless mercenaries rushed past them and started chasing the Thunderstorm mercenaries.
The Thunderstorm mercenaries who were not decisive enough paid the price for their hesitation. They were quickly submerged in the angry tide. Those who escaped slightly slower also suffered the same disaster. They were overtaken by groups of mercenaries,
They were chopped down to the ground one by one like tree stumps.
There is no mercy. There is no kindness. There is no such thing as fair judgment.
Whether it was Larry Lake or Wood Olivia, whether it was Sanchez Xiazo or other free mercenaries who did not belong to any mercenary group at all, everyone just caught up and stabbed the opponent's back with their swords.
.Be it cold or cruel, without any hesitation.
This is the world of mercenaries. They may be nobles, they may be civilians, they may be gangsters or they may be formal knights canonized by the Knights Hall. But in the final analysis, they are mercenaries. A group of unruly and desperate people. They have grudges and grudges.
A person with his own rules.
The Thunderstorm mercenaries have been doing evil for many years, and when they need to pay the price, no one will be soft-hearted.
Screams rang out from all directions. Many Thunderstorm mercenaries had escaped hundreds of meters away, and were all caught up and killed. However, no matter how chaotic the situation was, people consciously avoided a small area in the center of the battle group.
That was where Gena was. The mercenaries ran past him and found that he had stopped breathing at some point.
This notorious five-star knight of great light was stiff all over. He still kept kneeling on the ground, his head still raised, looking in the direction of Roy.
But his eyes had lost their luster. What people saw in those eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of deathly gray, was a kind of horror and despair that had cooled and solidified.
"Wait a minute..." A middle-aged mercenary who was well-known in the southern mercenary world suddenly stopped when he passed Gena's body.
He looked up at Roy, as if he remembered something: "I heard them call him Leo just now?!"
"It seems like such a name." Someone next to me said.
The middle-aged mercenary looked around: "Do you still remember what happened in Munich a few days ago... That boy is also named Leo. Will they two..."
The mercenaries were stunned for a moment.
Everyone looked at each other, calculating the possibility of this guess, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
How could they not remember?
You know, that was a huge earthquake that swept across the entire empire!
In that night's conflict, the commander of the Fifth Legion, Barno Jr., died, and the Sanctuary strongman Fred from Prince Anthony's family died, and even important members of several wealthy families became prisoners. As for the following
There were countless knights who died. Afterwards, more than a dozen bullock carts were used to carry the corpses!
Because of the blockade that night, although some people were in Munich at the time, they could only stay in their rooms and were unable to witness the earth-shattering battle with their own eyes.
However, this did not prevent them from seeing the almost apocalyptic ruins of the warring streets and the ubiquitous bloodstains in the early morning of the next day; nor did it prevent them from hearing various rumors in the streets.
Overnight, the young mercenary named Leo became a legend among them.
Because of provoking him, the whole army of the Banau family was wiped out, and hundreds of knights of the Banau family finally escaped with less than one level. The crazy guy killed a river of blood and caused an uproar! The attack was ruthless and the counterattack was fierce.
It makes me feel cold when I think about it now.
At first, it was hard for everyone to believe that a mercenary could do this. However, after experiencing today's battle personally, everyone felt that if these two Leos were the same person, the rumors would be even more bizarre.
Times. It doesn’t seem impossible.
Are they the same person?
The same name is Leo, the same mercenary, the same black hair, and the same magic and martial arts masters... These facts are all before your eyes, so that even the person who least wants to believe it can't find a reason to convince himself.
Thinking of this, the mercenaries looked at Gena with sympathy.
It's not good for him to provoke anyone. But he has provoked such a evil star!
Boom! A muffled sound.
At this time, I don't know whether it was blown by the wind or some other reason. Gena's stiff body fell down, and his head hit the muddy ground hard, splashing a pool of dark red muddy water.
………
Roy fell to the ground.
What greeted him was a fierce hug from Landero!
"Good boy!"
Then came the fists of Larry and Lake, one on the left and one on the right, hitting Roy's chest, causing him to shrink.
"You guy is actually a magician!"
Several excited men surrounded Roy, ruffling his hair and slapping his cheeks. They all looked like they were gnashing their teeth, as if they had captured a liar and wanted to accuse him.
The most angry one was Lacios.
He stood up on tiptoes, reached out and grabbed Roy's collar. He pulled him to bend over, glared at him and said angrily: "Damn guy. How can I still mess around like this? Damn it, you put me and
Afu's work has been done. Are we two going to be the breadwinners?"
Roy was pushed around by a group of people and felt dizzy. Looking up, he saw Tusu and Franco outside the crowd smiling and watching the fun. Afu's beautiful big eyes were slightly squinted, with a smile at the corner of her eyes, but... charming
There was a hint of unabashed danger in his eyes.
Like a threatening female cat.
After a while of commotion, everyone got out of the way. Alves and other nine Ice Star mercenaries were revealed.
Staring at the young man in front of him, Alves slowly and without any hesitation knelt down on one leg. Behind him, the other eight people also knelt down. Everyone put their hands on their chests and bent down deeply to express themselves as the most solemn knight.
To express my gratitude to Roy.
Roy moved and wanted to step forward to help these scarred men up, but Landreaux's hand on his shoulder stopped him with a strong force.
As a friend of Alves for many years, Landero knows better than anyone else what Alves needs at this moment.
"Listen to him," Landreaux said.
Roy stopped.
Alves nodded gratefully to his old friend, his eyes falling on Roy's face.
"Words cannot express my gratitude, Mr. Leo..." At the beginning of the sentence, Alves's voice trembled due to extremely unstable emotions, "...you saved all of our lives.
.”
The Ice Star mercenaries kneeling behind him all felt their nasal cavities sore. They gritted their teeth and endured it again and again, and their cheeks were deformed due to the exertion.
No one understands the meaning behind this sentence better than them.
Looking around at this moment, the battlefield is still in chaos.
People were running in the heavy rain, and screams were heard from time to time in the distance. In the center of the battlefield, there were large pits connected with small pits, and blood was foaming and flowing with the rain. It was a muddy area. Around the Abyss Fire Ox, the bodies of the dead were scattered in random directions.
Corpses. Many people were in wrestling and fighting postures.
Everything is like a nightmare.
If Leo hadn't appeared in time, each of them would have become one of those corpses.
They are not afraid of death, but no one wants to die.
Their lives not only belong to themselves, but also to their parents, wives and children. In this troubled world, they are the backbone of the family.
Every time, when they take over the task and prepare to set off, their parents will take the trouble to remind them about safety; the wife will hide her worries and kiss her affectionately goodbye in front of the porch; the children will hold their little hands in their arms, counting and expecting them to take them.
Return gift.
And when they walked home after completing the task, it was their most urgent and happiest moment. What they brought home was not only bulging money bags, but also relaxed and happy laughter and sunshine that filled the yard.
A loving and proud smile will appear on the parents' faces, and they will greet their son who supports the family with a hug.
The wife would be busy in the kitchen like a happy bird, turning around from time to time, showing the shy girlish smile to the man leaning by the door, or giving him a quick kiss, making him itchy and unbearable to look forward to the night.
One o'clock comes.
The children will be extremely surprised and open the gifts brought back by their father. Then they will giggle non-stop under their father's bearded kisses.
This is their life.
They couldn't imagine what a heavy blow it would be to their family if they died here. It would be like the sky falling.
It was this young benefactor who saved everything.
Moreover, for these bloody men, in addition to their lives and families, what he saved was also their own honor and dignity.
Before he appeared, the Ice Star mercenaries felt like buffaloes surrounded by a group of dirty and despicable hyenas. They fought bravely, without fear or compromise. However, their courage could not even let them down.
They feel a little proud.
It was the humiliation of being teased and bullied. Every fallen comrade stared with anger.
At that time, no one expected that the final result would be such a shocking reversal. Under the leadership of Leo, their tenacity and the sacrifice of their companions finally showed their value and were rewarded. Genna died. The remaining Thunderstorm servants
The soldiers fled like bereaved dogs.
This makes it difficult for them to be emotionally agitated and unable to control themselves!
"As the only way to repay you, we hereby swear," Alves said to Roy, "from today on, we will be your most loyal friends, Mr. Leo. Our door will always be open to you. When
When you need us, we will listen to your call, no matter when and where."
"No matter when and where." The eight Ice Star mercenaries also said in unison.
This is a knight's oath.
Many people around looked at Roy with envy.
Making such an oath means that these nine Ice Star mercenaries will regard Roy as their lifelong best friend and be loyal to him. Although they are not loyal to the knight, they will listen to his call and fight for him. Even
Even if Roy pointed at mountains of swords and seas of fire, they would not hesitate at all.
Facing the sincere eyes of Alves and the Ice Star mercenaries, Roy was a little surprised and a little moved.
You know, unlike Kalenich and Percy, who received traditional knight education and always put loyalty first, most of these mercenaries are free and unruly men who like to act according to their own wishes.
, least willing to be restrained.
Otherwise, with their strength, they would be treated favorably if they joined any noble family. It would be easy for them to make a living with ease. Not only would they have retinues and servants waiting on them, and they would receive generous salaries, but they would also be at a high level in the territory, with high status.
Honor.
Therefore, no one will ever try to conquer the heart of a free mercenary. To the nobles, these unruly guys are like wild wolves in the jungle. You can catch them and kill them, but never
Hoping to tame them into hunting dogs.
What Roy didn't expect was that at this moment, these nine Ice Star mercenaries made such an oath to themselves with the most solemn knightly ceremony without hesitation.
This is almost equivalent to giving their lives to themselves.
Landro's tight grip on his shoulders loosened. Roy stepped forward to help Alves up and said, "Mr. Alves, you are too polite. It is the tradition of mercenaries to help each other. I believe,
If we were the ones in danger, you would make the same choice. Besides..."
Roy smiled and changed the subject, diluting the depressing solemnity: "...If it weren't for Mr. Landreaux, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to come here."
Everyone who knew the cause and effect laughed.
"What he said is true." Faced with Alves' confused gaze, Landero nodded and told the story of how this bow hunter with only one star of glory joined his team, "...
It was Miss Lingxuan's words that made me decide to give it a try."
"But..." he finally said with a smile: "That was the most correct decision I have ever made in my life."
………
The rain is still falling, but the battle is over.
The sporadic screams in the distance had disappeared, and the chasing mercenaries also turned around. Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, excited and happy.
On weekdays, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group is arrogant, domineering, and cruel. As long as they are around, others will either retreat or swallow their anger. A slight resistance will immediately lead to a disaster of family destruction and death. The experiences of friends and relatives around them being bullied and humiliated are even more uncountable.
number.
But now, the situation has been reversed.
Everyone suddenly discovered that after these brutal perpetrators were exposed in their pretense of being powerful and invincible, they would also become frightened, break up and run away, and even beg for mercy.
But no one sympathized with them.
Under everyone's concerted pursuit, only less than ten of the dozens of Thunderstorm mercenaries escaped in the end, and the others were all killed without exception.
No prisoners.
If it weren't for the fact that the environment in the Dark Basin was too weird and dangerous, everyone wouldn't have ended the pursuit so quickly. They would have continued to pursue them until they had driven out all the thugs!
This battle also made the mercenary alliance grow in size once again.
Almost immediately after completing the chase, Xia Zuo, Sanchez and a total of more than sixty mercenaries came back and asked to join the team.
"I'm sorry that I didn't take action at the beginning," Sanchez said to Landero, carrying the bloody sword, "but I hope that next time I won't have to hesitate."
"Me too." Xia Zuo said.
The experience of dealing with the thunderstorm mercenaries side by side made everyone share the same hatred and naturally walked into the same trench, integrating without any obstacles.
Everyone knows that even if these Thunderstorm mercenary teams are destroyed, the Thunderstorm mercenary team is still a huge force in the abyss. The experience of the Alves team also reminds everyone that if they do not unite,
Just let the mermaid be eaten!
In addition to the strength in numbers, the more important point is the young mercenary named Leo.
No matter what the purpose of joining the joint team, in short, everyone hopes that in times of crisis, he will be a companion who stands by their side and fights side by side, rather than an enemy... (To be continued)
