The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Chapter 24: The sudden outbreak of battle 1. The transformation after the drop of blood

The tactics arranged by Sauron were actually very simple, which was to kill as many enemies as possible before officially engaging them.

After the specific actions were discussed, several people pretended to take out a few coins from their pockets and put them in the bag that Soran opened.

And Soran took out a handful of golden coins, first motioned to the robbers to arouse their greed, and then put them in.

The gold coins fell into the small cloth bag, making a "jingling" sound, which was crisp and inspiring.

Afterwards, Henry delivered the bag of coins to the robbers. The journey was not far and he placed it on the open space on the path ahead.

Then he stepped back, seemingly walking to the side of the warhorse unintentionally, but his hands quietly tightened the warhorse's reins. The muscles all over his body began to tense, and he was ready to go.

The robber was 20 meters away from the money bag, which was a safe distance recognized by both parties.

So the leader of the robbers signaled an elite leader nearby to take the money bag.

This elite leader was also very alert. He observed the situation as he walked. When he got to the purse, he poked the purse a few times with his sword out of concern. When he saw that it was fine, he bent down and prepared to pick it up.

But the moment his hand touched the purse, Henry, who was already ready to go, immediately mounted his horse and charged forward with his sword in hand.

The leader of the robbers who took the money bag was suddenly frightened and sat down on the ground.

The robber leader immediately wanted to stand up and run back, but when he saw the money bag in front of him, he became greedy and just reached out to pick it up.

But it was this greedy thought that caused him to die faster.

Just as he picked up the purse and was about to run away, Henry rode past him on his warhorse.

At the same time, the sharp knight's sword in his hand was raised, and suddenly a huge head with wide-open eyes flew up, and blood flew high.

As Henry stepped on the horse, Soran immediately shouted "Do it".

Three young men wearing tough cowhide armor and holding sharp knight swords suddenly jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards the skinny and yellow minions around them.

Soran and Martin, holding their knight swords, followed the direction of Henry's charge and attacked the robber leader and the elite chief.

As for Henry, who was riding a warhorse on the battlefield, after killing the elite robber who picked up the money, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the surrounding minions.

Henry had the heaviest task.

He rides a warhorse and has the greatest mobility. He needs to be ready to charge at any time to kill more minions and prevent them from gathering together to form a siege; at the same time, he needs to coordinate and support others to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Martin rushed towards the other two elite leaders and stopped them, while Soran rushed directly towards the leader.

Under the observation of the mutation ability of the Arcane Eye, Henry's physical fitness values ​​and physical limit values ​​are: 22/23; Martin's values ​​are: 21/22.

So, it is natural that Sauron, who has the highest numerical strength and the strongest power, will face the opponent's strongest leader.

As for the strength of the other team, Soran also activated the Arcane Eye while observing them.

The leader had the highest value, the same as Martin, at 21/22.

Then there are a few elite leaders, whose values ​​are roughly distributed between 18 and 20.

As for the other minions, considering their thin and yellow appearance, it is better not to mention them.

The difference between the two values, physical fitness and physical limit, not only represents the difference in growth potential, but also reveals the difference in actual combat strength to a certain extent.

With a physical fitness of 26 points like Sauron, compared to the robber leader's physical fitness of 21 points, his burst of strength, speed, reaction and other factors are naturally stronger.

So when the two sides came into close combat, Sauron relied on his physical advantage over the enemy to suppress the opponent.

The robber leader was able to hold out just fine.

The battle progressed at an extremely fast pace.

Under Henry's charge on horseback, those skinny and yellow minions had no power to resist at all and were chopped down one by one like melons and vegetables.

The entire battlefield was cleared out in a short while, leaving only the leader and three elite leaders struggling to resist.

Henry rode on horseback with Ramos and the other two to surround and assist Soren and Martin in encircling the three robbers.

Javier returned to the carriage and looked at the horses and the carriage.

Javier was just a servant after all. Although he had learned some fighting skills from practicing with Soran, he could handle a few mobs.

But when it comes to dealing with the leader and elite leaders, not only will they be of no help at all, they may even be a hindrance.

Javier was self-aware of this, so he didn't go to join the war.

Henry and his three companions saw that the leader was being suppressed by Sauron and was completely at a disadvantage, so they did not join in. Instead, they dispersed and surrounded the other two elite leaders.

Five against two, two of whom are skilled and decisive veterans of the battlefield.

It didn't take long before the heads of the two robber leaders were captured.

Then it’s time for one-on-one matches: six versus one or one versus six.

How can you have a fair fight? It's just a young man's fault.

In fact, after Henry, riding on his warhorse, killed those minions like cutting melons and vegetables, the leader of the robbers had already begun to think of retreating.

It’s just that the situation on the battlefield changed so quickly that he had no time to react.

Now seeing that his two capable subordinates were also beheaded, he immediately panicked. He struggled to resist Soran's attack while smiling at Soran and saying:

"My dear young master, I was blind this time and offended you. I admit my defeat. But now you have dealt with my men. Are you angry now? How about you let me fart?"

The tone is full of flattery and fawning.

Soran seemed not to have heard it and continued to swing the sharp knight sword in his hand, with no intention of stopping at all.

Because of his solid foundation in swordsmanship and the basic muscle memory he had formed, when Soran swung his sword, he could perform a variety of sword skills with unparalleled sharpness, and all the moves he unleashed were deadly.

The leader of the robbers was struggling and barely able to resist.

But in a battle between life and death, there is no point in just defending.

If you are too defensive, you will inevitably fail.

The leader himself knew this truth, so his emotions gradually became anxious, and even his movements became disorderly, with flaws appearing from time to time.

At the same time, the number of bloody wounds on his body continued to increase.

The reason why Sauron is here is actually because he wants to use him to practice sword skills.

After all, it is really hard to find such an enemy.

"Boy, let me tell you, the man behind me is the third in command of the Tiger Bandits. If you kill me, our Tiger Bandits will not let you off easily. If you let me go now, we will be strangers from now on, and we will not owe each other anything, how about that?"

Seeing that Sauron ignored him, the leader of the robbers immediately exposed his own home in an attempt to intimidate Sauron and make him stop.

The leader of the robbers was indeed born into a peasant family and had no education at all, but he had been in this business for several years and knew some necessary words and polite remarks.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that this was Soran's first time going out and he had little experience, so he had never heard of the reputation of the Tiger Bandits.

And even if he has heard it, we must not let him go. If we let him go back and tip off the secret, both sides will become even more entangled.

So only if he died could the matter be resolved once and for all.

Therefore, Soran still ignored him and continued to swing his knight's sword, using a variety of sword skills and each move was fierce.

The leader of the robbers saw that Sauron was determined to kill him, and he was no match for Sauron. Faced with a life-and-death situation, he became extremely panicked and his hands also became flustered.

It's simply reached a point where there are so many loopholes.

Upon seeing this, Soran immediately seized the opportunity, took advantage of the opponent's weakness, struck his sword to the right to block it, and then slashed with the sharp knight's sword in his hand, cutting off the commander's head directly.

Suddenly blood splattered all over him.

In the slightly cool winter weather, Soran could clearly feel that the blood splattering all over his body was warm and had a fishy smell.

This was Soran's first killing, and this was his first drop of blood in this world.

This is an exercise in martial arts, an experience in life, and a breakthrough in one's state of mind.

From this moment on, he will officially integrate into this extraordinary world where the strong prey on the weak, and into this civilization that still retains a lot of barbarism and ignorance.

He will completely get rid of the law-abiding and civilized citizen identity of his previous life and become the Sauron of this world, the minor noble Sauron Lipton.
