Chapter 51: The Musket!

Chapter 51: The Musket!

"If you give up the mission, then you have to subsidize the commission for us out of your own pocket, at least half of the previously negotiated amount, it's not easy to come all the way here, dozens of people in the mercenary corps everyone can't work for nothing!"

  Baleton stood up and pointed at Sheridan, and with Baleton echoed a lot of people.

  Mercenaries are supposed to lick blood from the tip of the knife to live, no one is good-tempered, giving up the mission is equal to no money, so as soon as they heard that they have to give up the mission, everyone was furious!

  "Is money or life important?

  !"

  Herald said so faintly, as if asking the crowd, and as if asking himself, his voice was not high, but after he finished this sentence, the scene that was originally up to follow the uproar and chaos was quiet, probably everyone was thinking about this question.

  "To come out as a mercenary is to take life for money, which time to go out on a mission is not to put your head on the waistband of your pants!

  I'd say money is the most important thing. Uh." Baledon was speechless before he could finish his sentence!

  A spear from his chest straight through, the tip of the spear has been diagonally rooted in the ground, Baleton entire body has been unable to make a little strength, but relying on the support of the spear he did not fall on the ground, the field is only one of him is standing, and so will be hit by this life-threatening spear, look at the shape of his mouth is still ready to say the word to be, when it really is to be money do not want to die, this is really no life!

  "Enemy Attack!

  Take cover!"

  Sheridan exclaimed.

  The spears splashed down like rain, and with a cry from Sheridan, the crowd that had originally surrounded them instantly dispersed, with those who were looking for stones and those who were raising their shields being very sensitive.

  Even if Sheridan hadn't shouted, no one was blind, and after seeing Baleton's misery, everyone's first reaction was to rush for cover.

  This shouting to rest in the tent of the other people also shouted up, some people's tent directly was full of spears, do not have to think, inside the people have also been dead can not be dead, there are a few just from the tent sleepy eyes climbed out, do not understand what happened, the spears have flown over, caught off guard under the scene of these people died violently.

  Before even seeing where the enemy was, almost ten people had already died on the mercenary group's side!

  "Captain Sheridan!

  Now what!"

  Taberman asked anxiously.

  "The enemy dared to sneak up on us, they obviously came prepared, now abandon this camp, let's retreat, if they dare to chase us to the ship, we'll use the heavy weapons on board to exterminate them!"

  Sheridan said viciously.

  "All!

  Pull back!

  Go back to the ship first!"

  Sheridan shouted, while he himself crouched low and felt his way to the back.

  "Ah!

  Aaah!"

  There were constant screams.

  "What's wrong?"

  Sheridan said.

  "Captain!

  There's an ambush behind the tent!

  It's the archers of the Mythic Rat People, and the Robert Rabbits!"

  A mercenary shouted.

  "Treadmill, when did those Orc clans become so smart that they know how to block the back roads!

  And where in the hell did the Robert Rabbits come from here?"

  Sheridan cursed.

  "Whatever, hurry up and break out!

  Punch out!"

  Sheridan shouted.

  While they were trying to break out, the Shuo Rats and Bell Bear Clan on the front also rushed over, attacking from both sides, the bows and arrows shot from the crossbow were blocked one by one by the sturdy shields, the crossbow was unable to resist the Orc warriors at all, the human mercenaries fell one by one, and the Orc warriors set up their shields and swung and raised their spears towards the Shelder in a tight pace!

  Hoffman rushed to the front of the line, and he saw the odious Sheridan.

  "You're the one who lied to us last time and arrested the old man!"

  Hoffman said through clenched teeth.

  "Kill!"

  Hoffman shouted, charging in Sheridan's direction as he did so!

  "The Bell Bears?

  What's going on in this Northern Plains?

  How could a race from the center appear in the Northern Plains!"

  Looking at the Hoffman who rushed up, Sheridan didn't recognize it was him, and the first thought in his head actually went to why the Bell Bears were here.

  "Captain!

  What are you staring at? Run!"

  Tubman said as he tugged at Sheridan.

  By now Hoffman had rushed up, holding his spear aloft and stabbing down hard towards Sheridan, but it was a blank and the tip of the spear plunged into the earth.

  Taberman yanked Sherid vigorously to avoid the blow, and the two rolled to the side together, while by then Hoffman had pulled his spear out and continued to pursue Sherid.

  Tubman struggled to his feet and Sheridan came back to his senses, looking at Hoffman close at hand, Sheridan panicked and pulled something out of his arms.

  Taberman watched as the tip of Hoffman's spear rapidly approached Sheridan's head and was about to be lodged in the next instant, and perhaps fearing that the soaring blood would fly into his eyes, the nervous Taberman subconsciously and unconsciously closed his eyes.

  "Bang!"

  "Ah!"

  Almost at the same time, a very loud thud came along with a scream of agony, Taberman felt it was a sound both familiar and unfamiliar, a spear in the head surely shouldn't sound like that, and the scream wasn't coming from Sheridan, but from the Bellbearer across the room!

  Taberman opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene in front of him, Shelder was holding a black pipe with a handle in his hand, the mouth of the pipe was still smoking, Shelder maintained the position of pointing the black pipe at the Belbearer, while the Belbearer fell on the ground, the shield he was holding in his hand, not only was it broken, but blood was still soaring outwards from his shoulder!

  Taberman could never have imagined this would be the outcome!

  Immediately afterward Shelder poured something out of his grip, then fished another orb out of his arms and shoved it in.

  "Captain, this can't be a musket!"

  Taberman said.

  "This is a single-shot musket that I went through a lot of trouble to get someone to buy it from the black market at a high price!

  The average person with money can't buy it!"

  Sheridan said triumphantly.

  "Isn't this something only nobles can have, I've only heard of it and never seen it, Captain you actually have one!"

  Taberman said in shock, and in addition to shock, there was envy in his tone.

  "I entrusted someone to buy it in the black market, it's not allowed to see the light, I won't even take it out and use it until I have to!"

  Sheridan explained.

  "Charge!"

  The commotion just now attracted the attention of the other Orc warriors, and more Bell Bear Clan and Mythic Rat Clan warriors rushed towards this place.

  Sherid can only fire one shot at a time, in the face of so many people have no way at all, can only fall away, rushed over to the Bell Bear warriors see is Hoffman fell to the ground, first greatly surprised, to determine that there is no life-threatening, leaving two people rushed to Hoffman simple bandage, but the more the bandage seems to be the more painful, and Hoffman shouted the more ferocious.

"Forget about me for a moment, go after those two humans, the man has a musket in his hand!

  Go warn the people in front of the ambush to be careful!"

  Hoffman said as he fought through the excruciating pain.

  "Muskets?

  That man actually has a musket!"

  The orc warriors were all rather shocked, the musket was a powerful weapon developed by the Dwarf race, with extremely low operating difficulty, and there were a variety of standardized weapons such as single-shot, continuous-shot, and emanation.

  With it, even an unarmed human can instantly kill a highly trained ordinary Orc Clan soldier in seconds, but fortunately it's too valuable for the average person to equip.

  Fortunately, the musket manufacturing process is complicated and difficult, at the same time, the dwarves are also intentionally control the outflow of muskets, otherwise the human greed must be eager to equip every soldier with a musket, so that the human army's combat power can be greatly strengthened, the expansion of the footsteps will also be faster.

  "He didn't send out a second shot the first time, so it's just a single shot musket, and probably doesn't carry many bullets, he's the one who tricked us last time, go after him!"

  Hoffman said under his breath, struggling to hold back the pain that was drilling him.

  "What's happening here?"

  Carlos's voice came, the unusual noise had just drawn Carlos in as well.

  The attack had gone exceptionally well, the human mercenaries hadn't put up any decent resistance, Carlos and Eranster didn't even need to put up a fight, the humans were already retreating, only here there seemed to be some kind of situation, so Carlos rushed to take a look.

  As soon as Carlos arrived he saw the shield on the ground first, the circular notch in the upper left corner of the shield was unusually conspicuous, and the mark was unusually familiar.

  "What's going on here?

  Hoffman?

  You're okay!"

  Carlos's tone went from puzzled to anxious; Carlos hadn't realized that it was actually Hoffman who was in trouble.

  "Quickly go after those two, they have muskets, warn those in front of them to be little careful!"

  Hoffman said in a broken voice, his shoulder had been bleeding out, Hoffman's lips had also turned pale, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the wound was not in the vitals, but now that he had bled too much, Hoffman was very weak, and he looked like he was dying.

  "Get Avril to treat Hoffman, quick!

  Hurry!"

  Carlos shouted.

  "Avril's not here, she's up ahead!"

  Shelia said anxiously.

  In his haste, Carlos had forgotten that Avril had gone through the hole in the ground to the back of the camp in the first place, which meant that Avril might also encounter the man with the musket.

  "I'll go to her!

  Shelia, get over here and keep Hoffman conscious, don't let Hoffman fall asleep!"

  Carlos commanded, then charged straight ahead with his light drive!

  "This this is light magic?"

  Erlangist said in shock from behind.

  Carlos had already disappeared, and there was no way to answer him, as Shelia used her spiritual battle song to try to keep Hoffman's consciousness awake, while Shelia silently prayed in her heart that Carlos would come back soon.

  At this moment, with the enhancement of the light energy drive, Carlos quickly caught up with the two who were running away, at the same time, Carlos also saw Avril, who was commanding the Robert Rabbit Clan people to use their bows and arrows to shoot the human mercenaries who fled here, and didn't pay any attention to Sherid and Tabermann, who were running over to him.

  Sheldor saw her too, and he realized Avril's commanding position; they'd be in a panic if someone like that got hurt, and when that happened, they'd be better off running out on their own.

  So Sherid pulled out his musket from his arms and aimed it at Avril, Carlos saw this and immediately maximized the power of his light energy drive and burst out with great speed, rushing towards Avril.

  At this point Sheridan had only just pulled the trigger.

  "Clang!"

  With a crunch full of metal, the bullet hit Carlos' back, the dark golden scaled skin was not damaged in the slightest, and the bullet fell helplessly to the ground.

  "Lord Sacrifice?

  What brings you over?"

  Avril still didn't know what had just happened and asked with a puzzled expression.

  "Hoffman's hurt, and I've come to get you back to save him!"

  Carlos said sharply as he faced Avril, completely ignoring the two humans.

  At this time, Sheridan has been paralyzed legs, unable to stand upright, just now the speed of Carlos has made him realize that he does not have the slightest possibility of escape, the only dependence on the musket is also not half of the effect, Sheridan despair!

  "I'll take care of these two first!"

  Carlos turned around with a frown, and saw before him an all but battle-weary Sheridan and Taberman.

  "It's you?"

  It was only after Carlos turned around that Sheridan recognized Carlos as the priest from earlier.

  "Aren't all priests weak and useless?

  How come you're like a monster? A musket can't even hurt you!

  How!"

  Sheridan said in a horrified, shrill voice.

  "Whatever the reason, none of this has anything to do with you anymore!

  Because you, in a minute, are going to die!"

  After saying that Carlos directly penetrated Sheridan's body with a pulse of electricity, and then took care of Taberman in the process as well.

  Carlos walked over and collected the musket from Sheard's hand, plus some bullets from his arms, which Carlos collected and placed on his person, the whole process was quick, less than half a minute.

  Then Carlos came to Avril's side, and without saying a word, after picking up Avril the light energy drive was violently activated and rushed back at a very fast speed!

  "Hoffman, hold on!

  Carlos he'll be right back!"

  Shelia said shakily, her voice tinged with a slight sob.

  Hoffman had lost a lot of blood and was already getting weaker and weaker, to such an extent that Shelia's spiritual battle song couldn't revitalize Hoffman, and he could only rely on his own willpower!

  But now it looked like Hoffman was already going to be unable to hold on, no matter how much Shelia cried and wailed, Hoffman didn't respond, and the blood on his shoulder had turned from flowing at the beginning to dripping bit by bit, it seemed like there wasn't much blood left in Hoffman's body!

  "It's a pity that I don't have the talent to comprehend life energy magic and can't help!"

  Erlangist said helplessly.

  Just then, a golden light flashed and Carlos returned!

  "Quick!

  Save Hoffman now!"

  Carlos put down Avril then said anxiously.

  "Uh-oh." Averill obviously couldn't adapt to moving at high speeds like Carlos, and just after being put down, Averill was a bit dizzy and a bit unsteady on her feet!

  "Avril, are you better?"

  Carlos rushed to hold her up, then gently shook Averill's shoulders and gave her a head rub.

  "Well, it's better, I was a little sick to my stomach earlier, and you were too fast!"

  Avril said.

  "Let's not talk about that, save Hoffman, he's dying!"

  Shelia said anxiously.
