172. The War Ends

The war in Momiji Town has completely entered the white heat.

The militiamen of the militia regiment finally truly understood what real war is.

These young militiamen had already taken the lead in the bloodiest street battles before they had even experienced the battles in the field. In this degree of warfare, the effect of any tactics and strategies is minimized, and the real competition is completely dependent on the soldiers' own will and morale.

Any warrior who is extremely good in street fighting will become the most high-profile presence on the battlefield, and they will face more pressure and siege than others.

Hubbard did have a good reason of pride and confidence in his mercenary group, because it was indeed an army that he had put a lot of effort into building. At this point, it can be seen from the fact that the Serpent of Hubbinder's squad can kill more than thirty people, or even nearly twice the number of militia itself, it can be seen that these mercenaries are indeed stronger than the militia.

However, this is more due to the fact that the equipment of the Serpent of Hubbinder is better than that of the militia group, and the combination of troops of the members is more reasonable.

But no matter how good it is, this is also a force without faith, unlike the Puda militia in Red Leaf Town, in order to defend their homes and protect their relatives, they will never run away, even if they die.

So, the militia in the militia who broke through the enemy's line with his flesh and blood until he left the last drop of blood was not the only one doing so.

And people like Nock who dare to face the tragic war, arouse the fighting spirit of their comrades, and then return to the war are not the only ones.

But despite this, in front of the red-eyed Hubbinder Serpent mercenaries, the militia finally began to retreat.

Even if the militia has Cecilia, a magician, and a commander like Puda, the enemy also has a squad led by Hubbinder himself. When the troops on both sides encountered the teams led by their respective commanders, they were naturally ineffective, and it could be said that it was a one-sided slaughter. It's just that Cecilia has little magic left, almost to be used carefully. Naturally, in terms of the speed of slaughter, it is not comparable to Harbinder.

Although the exertion of Dou Qi is not unlimited, it is much more than Cecilia, who only has the strength of the lower bronze.

And the Serpent of Hubbard has the advantage of ignoring the militia in hiding and heading towards the old temple in the center of town. But the Puda militia, as the defending side, must do everything possible to prevent the Serpent of Hubbard from approaching, in this case. Even if the Puda militia has courage, fighting spirit, and is not even afraid of death, their combat space is still shrinking.

Soon, the still alive members of the militia finally had to retreat to the old temple.

Except for the militia who were seriously injured and unable to fight, and were carried into shelters for refuge, the entire Puda militia actually participated in this defense battle. There were more than 500 people in total. But now, there are only more than 100 militiamen left who have retreated, and the number of dead has exceeded 300, which is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to Puda, who loves the whole town and its inhabitants.

Suddenly, a militiaman suddenly ran out of the alley, and when he saw Puda standing outside the temple door, he immediately sped up and trotted over. He was almost stained with blood as a red man. Just look at the way he can still run. The blood stains on this body must not be his, but if this militiaman is not injured. That's just as impossible.

And after this militia ran out of the alley, the militia began to come out of the alley one after another, either supporting each other, or holding guns to cover, and some of them carried a lot of weapons and equipment, which were stripped from the mercenaries of the snake of Hubbind. However, what really makes Puda value is not these equipment, but the temperament and composure shown by these more than forty militiamen, obviously after such a tragic battle, the surviving militia have a kind of essential change.

"Nock." Puda greeted him.

"Captain Puda." The young man named Norco had been dressed in a suit of leather armor that had been ripped from a mercenary of the Serpent of Hubbard, and he also held a round shield in his left hand and an iron spear in his right hand, "I've gathered everyone in the vicinity, but ...... I'm sorry! Or a lot of people died......"

Counting these more than 40 militiamen, there are still less than 200 militiamen who have retreated to the old temple, and there are still a lot of injuries on their bodies, and even many of them may not survive for long, and the militia who can really fight again is probably only about 70 or 80 people.

"You don't have to blame yourself." Puda shook his head, "You only brought seven or eight people to rush out, but now you are back with more than forty people, if it weren't for you, many of them would probably really buy a way to come back." What's more, you also brought back these bows and arrows, which will greatly increase our defensive capabilities, but it's a pity...... There aren't many people who really know how to shoot. ”

"Puda, we'll use bows and arrows!" Several middle-aged men in their forties and fifties walked out of the old temple, these people were the hunters of the town, "We are also a member of the town, how can we watch these young people bleed in vain, and then we hide behind?" Even if we want to die, we old bones should die first, they are the future of the town! ”

"yes!"

"That's it, it's the whole town, how can you let these young men die in front!"

There were many people in the temple, either ploughmen or blacksmiths, each of whom had a skill, and they were also nominal instructors in the militia regiment. These people are nearly half a hundred years old, and there is even an old man among them, who is Nock's grandfather, these people have snatched weapons from the wounded militia without saying anything, it is not that the militia is not afraid of sacrifice, these people are also not afraid of death for their homeland.

As the intelligence data that Sean saw showed, the militia of the Puda militia regiment only had the war dead, not the escapees!

Before the argument was settled, the mercenaries of the Serpent of Hubbard had already appeared.

The first to walk out of an alley was the leader of the Serpent of Hubbard, Hubbard.

He carried a long knife and strode along, the shiny knife without any traces of blood, and his body was not stained with any blood. Hubbinder looked proud. When he saw Puda and his militia laying an improvised fortification around the Old Temple. He let out a sneer, for it was obvious that he was not in his eyes for a fortification of this magnitude, and Hubbinder was convinced that it would not be difficult to break through it.

And as long as he could break into the fortifications, Hubbinder was confident enough to make the militia pay a heavy price. Maybe Puda can hold him back, but he can't stop himself from killing in the field, but what really makes Hubbard care. Or the magician who still doesn't know the identity of the Dao.

Standing in the square of the town, Hubbinder and Puda looked at each other from a distance, and behind him stood ten mercenaries, but the team he personally led did not have a single wounded. But now, Hubbinder didn't attack immediately, and he was still waiting for his men to come and assemble. After the assembly is completed, he will directly launch an attack and destroy everyone in the entire town in one fell swoop.

Hubbind's gaze wandered over all the militia and townsfolk gathered in the Old Temple.

There are more than 2,000 townspeople in Momiji Town, and although Hubbinder has been in this town for more than a year, it is impossible for him to know all the townspeople. It's just that the townspeople in the town who have a little bit of identity, strength, or skills, Hubbinder actually knows very well, so he knows almost all the townspeople gathered at this moment. Even if there are a few of them that are more raw. He could also tell from the clothes on the other party that these people were also townspeople from the town.

Cecilia was the only one, although she still looked like a child. But standing in the crowd is still so out of place.

So, Harbinder realized, he had finally found the magician.

Then the corners of Hubbind's mouth lifted slightly, which made his face look even more hideous.

Seeing Hubbind's smile, the militiamen felt a chill, and even Puda showed a solemn look. It's just that when he spoke again, he looked a little self-deprecating: "It seems that the lord has abandoned you too." ”

"Sean won't." Cecilia's face did not show any strange look, but a determined look, "Sean said, if this Hubbind is solved by him, then he will personally solve it, Sean never lost his word." ”

"But he's still standing here in good shape......" At this, Puda's face suddenly changed, as if he remembered some possibility.

"Don't underestimate Sean." Cecilia seemed to know what Puda was thinking, but instead opened her mouth to comfort Puda, "This Hubbinder can still stand here, which means that Sean hasn't made a move yet." And he didn't make a move, there is only one possibility, that is, to find a time when he can't make a move. Maybe Sean is around here right now, waiting for a chance to make a move, and maybe we can find a way to lure the ten mercenaries behind him away. ”

Puda glanced at Hubbinder and looked at the ten mercenaries behind him who also showed fierce murderous intent, as if he understood the reason why the lord Sean didn't make a move. Even if it is him, it is a little difficult to face Hubbinder alone, not to mention that Hubbinder is still standing behind him, and he can tell at a glance that he is an elite mercenary, and in terms of the degree of cooperation of this team, Sean wants to make a move alone, which is really no different from suicide.

However, just because Puda thinks on the bright side doesn't mean everyone else is the same. Nock snorted heavily, his father and uncle had died at the hands of the Valkyrie in the Duchy of Lane, so of course he would not have a good face for the lord sent by the Valkyrie, and even for Cecilia he would not have a good face for him, and if he could, Nock would even want to kill the new lord.

It is said that his strength is not very good.

"And only you would believe it." Nock said coldly, "The so-called lords are all virtuous and good-looking, and they have always only cared about their own lives, and anyone else is just a pawn and something to use in the eyes of their nobles. ”

Cecilia glanced at Noko, but she didn't say anything, she had already learned from Puda's mouth that the family of the man, who was still a teenager, had died in the invasion of the Valkyrie of the Duchy of Ryan against the kingdom of Dabion. So Cecilia is understandable about his resentment towards Asuna, and even with the transfer of this resentment to Sean and herself.

It's just that understanding doesn't mean approval, so Cecilia doesn't bother to pay attention to the other party. She just glanced at it, then turned her attention back to Hubbard, thinking about how the next battle should be fought, because with the magic she still had left, she could barely perform one more fireball spell at best. So when to cast this fireball spell. It becomes a crucial moment.

Cecilia ignored Nock, but Nock seemed to hold back a sense of resentment, and just wanted to speak again and curse loudly, but someone stretched out a hand on his shoulder. He looked back, but saw his grandfather reaching out on his shoulder, he looked puzzled, but saw his grandfather shaking his head slightly. His mouth opened and closed, and he didn't make a sound, but he understood the word.

Morale.

Nock glanced around, and all the wounded militiamen were lying on their sides, their lips tightly closed, not daring to make the slightest sound in the slightest pain. Fear of affecting other people. The entire old temple was already covered with blood, and the bloody atmosphere was everywhere, although the number of militiamen who could still fight was quite a lot, but the faces of the vast majority of people also showed nervous and worried looks, and even many people were peeking at themselves.

It seems to have been caused by a few arguments just now.

So Nock knew that if he was desperate to quarrel with that girl who was as delicate as a doll at this time, it would also be a morale blow and impact on others. Because at least in the current situation. Their new lord, whom they had not yet met, had already expressed his intentions. I'm willing to be on their side and help them, otherwise I wouldn't let a mage stay here.

Who doesn't know the way. How important is a mage to a lord?

But!

Nock is really upset!

In the previous three years of war, his father and uncle had died on the battlefield, and all of this was killed by the Marquis of the Duchy of Lane, just for the entire Anglodar Mountains, didn't she know what the outbreak of the war would have on them ordinary people? And now, although the snake and the Harbinder have completely torn their faces, there has been no real bloodshed between the two sides after all, but this is what happened as soon as the lord arrived in the town.

How does Nock not complain?

But now, he can't say that the lord is not, just because he is now on the same front as his side!

Nock's anger wasn't just a displeasure with Asuna. And how could Cecilia, such a wise person, not know the way? She's just pretending to be stupid, as long as she doesn't answer, she won't provoke the anger of the townspeople, so even if this time Red Leaf Town really has too many casualties, at most she will only lament a few bad luck, who will really think of everything behind this?

Maybe the Nok in front of him will be, but he is only one person, as long as Sean's development policy is not wrong in the future, no one will believe him.

So, Cecilia's eyes were once again on the town square.

There, the mercenaries of the Serpent of Hubbard began to walk out one after another, and then began to converge towards the square.

But when he saw this scene, the proud look that Hubbinder had always maintained finally began to become gloomy.

Because these mercenaries who walked out of the alley were no longer as intact as they were before they set off, and almost all of them were wounded. Among them, the smallest team has only three attackers with heavy swords left, and these three people have been injured to varying degrees, and I am afraid that there is only one person who can really fight; As for the largest team, there were only eleven people left, but even if it was eleven, all the archers were killed.

In the space of five minutes, there were only one hundred or fifty of the Habinder Serpent mercenaries who had gathered back at the end! And many of them were seriously injured, in fact, there were only about a hundred people who could continue to fight, this number did not seem to be much more than the militia regiment, although the militia regiment had more than 500 people at the beginning, and the snake of Hubbinder only had about 300 people, but the two sides were not at the same level at all in terms of combat experience, combat awareness and armament!

This result made Hubmad's face extremely ugly. The mercenary who he had worked so hard to operate and develop over the years had suffered such heavy casualties again, which was not only a blow to him, but also a humiliation!

"Since you like to fight to the death so much, then I will fulfill you!" Hubbinder snorted coldly, raised his long knife, and pointed at the Old Temple, "Now, this is your chance to wash away your shame!" …… Kill all these enemies! Not a single one to stay! ”

"None of them will be left!" Red-eyed Serpent mercenaries of Hubbard. It also makes a roar that I don't know if it's excitement or what it means.

Merely. In terms of momentum, the militia group that has retreated to the old temple will not be inferior to the other party.

"Fight to the death!" Nock let out a roar of rage as well.

"Fight to the death!" The dozens of militiamen who had followed Nok all the way back also let out angry roars.

"Fight to the death!" Then came the other militiamen who were emotionally contagious.

This time the battle has completely nothing to do with tactics and strategy.

The mercenaries of the Serpent of Hubbinder have been completely killed, and even Hubbinder has lost his mind. The mercenary group he worked so hard to run had suffered such a tragic loss here. How else does this make him go for revenge? So whether it's for venting or other reasons, a complete slaughter is the only thing Hubbard wants.

The militiamen who were forced to retreat to the old temple had no way to retreat, and if they couldn't defend this temple, then the townsfolk who were hiding in the underground shelter of the temple would also be completely killed. So in order to protect the homeland. In order to protect their loved ones, they can only stick to the old temple, and any enemy who wants to step into the temple must step over their corpses.

Everything is as Nock said, a real fight to the death!

Both sides simultaneously launched a charge towards the enemy.

However, before the two sides of the hedges collided with each other, the long knife in Hubbinder's hand had already emitted a crimson knife aura about one meter long, and slashed towards the militiamen. The sword qi came too quickly. The two militiamen who couldn't dodge were cut in two by this sword qi on the spot. And the sword qi continued to sweep away after penetrating the two militiamen, and after killing five militiamen again. It finally dissipated.

With just one blow, five militiamen were killed on the spot.

In the past, this would have been a serious blow to the enemy's morale. But here, for the militia regiment that has no way to retreat, there is no longer any blow, not to mention that the real commander of the militia regiment in their minds is also rushing to the forefront at this moment, and even their regiment commander is so leading in the front, so what reason do they have to retreat?

As if in response to Hubbinder's sword aura, a flaming fireball suddenly appeared above the battlefield, and then drew a parabola, passing over the people of the militia regiment and falling towards the formation of Hubbinder's serpent, making a deafening explosion, and countless waves of sand and air gushed out from the battle array.

Although only one of the mercenaries who were really burned by the fireball explosion because they were too slow because they saw the fireball falling, no one expected that the power of this fireball would be so great, and the shock wave directly lifted off more than a dozen mercenaries within range, and several of them were directly shocked to death by the shock wave. Even if the others are not dead, they will be completely incapacitated.

In terms of the severity of the casualties, Cecilia's fireball did more damage.

As a result, the militia group finally broke out into a more fiery wave.

But these militiamen also knew very well that Cecilia, the magician sent by the lord, no longer had any magic power at the moment, but even if there was still magic, the next melee would limit her magic casting. So for the rest of the battle, they can only rely on themselves.

It's just that even if there is no magic power, no matter how painful her head is, Cecilia still does not fall, but stands at the door of the temple.

She knew that as long as she was standing here, it would be a deterrentβ€”at least for enemies who didn't have the support of a mage, and their presence would terrify them, because they didn't know when another magic would fall.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

The Serpent of Hubbard mercenaries are no better than the Puda militia, because they have no reason to fight to the death. So at this moment, their pace slowed down slightly, it seemed that because of the explosion of the fireball technique, they clearly understood something, and felt the psychological changes produced by their mercenaries, how could Hubender not be in a hurry or angry?

He unleashed several more swords of swords, each of which would have taken the lives of several militiamen, but he could not summon the mercenaries' courage again.

But no matter how long the distance is, there is also an end for both sides in the charge.

Soon the two forces collided with each other, but the momentum of the two sides was no longer the same.

On one side are cowering mercenaries. On the other side are militiamen with the idea of dying. The original armament gap between the two sides has also been made up to a certain extent because of what Nock did, and even the original combat consciousness and combat experience have also increased explosively because of the continuous bloody battles, and the militia regiments have finally truly integrated their peacetime training experience into the battle.

So under a hedge, it was not the militia group that was crushed, but the mercenaries of the snake of Hubbind!

This time. The mercenaries of the Serpent of Harbinder finally experienced what it was like to be cut and attacked once again. It's just a pity that the number of militia in the militia group is still a little smaller after all, and after the defeat and cutting off the mercenaries of the snake of Habind, there are not enough troops to form a battle of encirclement and annihilation, which has to be said to be a great pity.

And in this situation, Hubbind's fighting spirit finally couldn't be wielded at will. But with his own strength. Even if the militia really swarmed up, it would only add a bit of killing to him, so when the two sides rushed together, Puda immediately met the hideous man who was already a little crazy, and the spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and it stabbed out fiercely and unusually stabbing out, directly to the vital point of Hubbind.

However, Hubbinder is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has been enough to impact the golden power of the next position. Both combat experience and awareness. None of them are comparable to Puda. And when he has decided to kill the killer, of course, there will be no mercy. The long knife in his hand arrived in his hand, just like a delicate dagger, just two flicks of the knife, and all the killing moves of the Capuda.

But at this moment, a gray figure suddenly struck out from the side.

The figure was so fast that it was almost impossible to see who it was.

Puda only knew that the figure blocked Harbind's sudden slash because he saw the scene of sparks splashing everywhere. But beyond that, he couldn't see anything anymore, because the shadow was so fast.

There is no doubt that this shadow is naturally Sean!

As Cecilia expected, Sean actually found Hubbinder very early, but Hubbard was always accompanied by ten mercenaries, and Shaun couldn't find a chance to make a move at that time, because Hubbinder was able to show his fighting spirit. This ability is exclusive to silver-level strengths, and for silver-level strengths, it is naturally a very good ability, but for non-silver-level strengths, it is a very helpless ability.

Only in the current situation, completely limiting the opportunity for Hubbind to show his fighting spirit, Sean finally found the opportunity to make a move!

With the opening of the third-level light body technique and the stimulation of the adrenal glands, this speed has completely surpassed the ordinary lower-rank silver, and I am afraid that only the master of the top-level silver can capture Sean's movement trajectory in this state.

And Hubbinder, who may have been a high-ranking silver master in the past, is now only a low-ranking silver. In the case that his physical ability has also deteriorated, he can only see some of Sean's movements at most, which is only a little better than Puda, but he can't judge Sean's movements in advance.

So in this battle, Hubbinder was directly at a disadvantage.

Although Puda wanted to help at one point, the pace of the battle between Sean and Hubbinder was too fast, so fast that when he just found a flaw and wanted to raise his gun and stab, the battle between the two sides had entered the next stage, and this so-called flaw naturally disappeared.

"Silver Scale Curse Seal!"

Suddenly, Sean let out an angry roar, and a dazzling silver light instantly burst out from Sean's left hand.

This light was so bright and bright, almost the moment it burst out, it dazzled the eyes of everyone on the battlefield, and the bright luster was like a miracle erupting!

At such a close distance, Hubbinder was so stabbed that he had to close his eyes, and could only swing his long knife in the position he remembered. However, the numb reaction force from the long knife made him realize that his knife seemed to be slashed at an unknown hard substance, and he could not kill his opponent at all. When he subconsciously wanted to retreat, he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his heart, and then his strength was rapidly lost in his body!

On the battlefield, there was a moment of stagnation.

Whether it was the Serpent of Hubbard or the people of the Puda Mercenary Regiment, they all showed a look of disbelief, no one would have thought that the Habinder, who was high and even invincible to them, would be killed so easily?

Before everyone could come back to their senses, there was a sudden roaring sound of footsteps, and even the ground trembled slightly.

It's as if thousands of horses are galloping!

Everyone looked around in astonishment, only to see a group of barbarians armed with iron spears and half-body shields, suddenly rushing out of the surrounding alleys, and they quickly poured into the battlefield while making a sound of rushing and killing. But the other side did not directly rush into the battle formations of both sides to kill, but surrounded everyone, everyone could see that this was a real army, so the snake of Habinder and the militia group quickly dispersed, each forming a defensive formation, and no one dared to act rashly.

At this time, Sean suddenly stepped out and stood in front of the militia group, he stuck his sword on the ground and stood with his sword.

Sean looked coldly at the remaining mercenaries of the Serpent of Hubbard.

William rode out of the crowd, but at this time he did not look lazy, but straightened his back, and his whole person looked extremely sharp.

The steel-winged soldiers quickly dispersed, revealing a path for William to ride through, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at the man on horseback. All eyes fell on his face, but it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female, because judging by his facial features alone, the man seemed to be female.

The next moment, William rolled over and fell off his horse, and then walked up to Sean, who was standing with his sword.

The militia members swallowed involuntarily.

Standing in front of Sean, William, who was dressed in a sharp aura, looked even colder, and then saw him suddenly kneel on one knee in front of Sean, and said in a deep voice: "Commander of the Steel Wings, William. Yale came to report, please give the lord's order! ”

Sean stared at the mercenaries of the Serpent of Hubbard and said in a deep voice, "Disarm their weapons." Rebels, kill on the spot! ”

Soon, all the weapons of the Harbinder Serpent mercenaries were disarmed, and even the leather armor and other armor on their bodies were all taken off, and the mercenaries, who were originally fierce and fierce, were at a loss like lambs at the moment, but none of them thought of resisting.

Only then did Sean turn to look at Puda, and then utter a sentence that made all the Snake of Hubbard mercenaries despair: "They're yours." (To be continued.) )

PS: It was easy to write for a while, and I couldn't find a place to cut it at all, so I simply wrote three chapters in one. This chapter is 8K+, and I'm personally very satisfied with the quality, and I think this quantity should be worthy of people. This chapter is considered today's update chapter. The two chapters that I owe yesterday will be made up next. By the way, I forgot to say it yesterday...... The previous chapter 170, at the beginning, was only about 3100 words, but I later revised it again, and it became 3900+ words, and the details were modified and polished, and the last part of the plot was also rewritten, hmm...... That's it.
