Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"Mr. Ebusen, please step back! It's dangerous here!"

Silbaz looked anxious, and the adventurers also gathered around Ebusen - Ebusen was their employer. If the employer died, they would not get the balance, so no one wanted anything to happen to Ebusen.

But Ebusen had a frown on his face, staring at the bandits attacking from both sides of the forest. The light of magic reflected in his eyes flickered continuously.

303. Divide and Encircle

"Mr. Ebusen, I'll cover you!"

An adventurer quickly withdrew from the battle, grabbed Ebusen's shoulders, and used his shoulders to support him as he retreated.

"Silbaz," Ebusen took a few difficult steps and suddenly shouted to Silbaz, "Hurry up and get your men back to defend the middle. Don't let them break through!!"

Ebusen had been in the army for some time. Now that Silbaz was being held back and there was a lack of effective command among the adventurers, Ebusen saw it better than anyone else - the bandits' attack was very purposeful. They intended to cut the caravan into two parts and defeat them one by one. This tactic was very common and effective, so it had to be curbed as soon as possible.

After being reminded by Ebusen, Silbaz also realized this problem.

But, he was powerless to do anything.

Due to the shortage of manpower, there was no room for him to make changes even if he wanted to.

"hold onto!"

Silbaz was thinking of a solution quickly in his head, but the bandits acted very quickly. They were attacking the middle section of the caravan, and the adventurers responsible for defending the middle section were soon forced to retreat. The bandits cut the caravan into two parts from the middle.

One part was the front part of the caravan, which consisted of a team of adventurers headed by Silbaz and Ebusen's carriage; the other part was the back part of the caravan, which consisted of Aisha and others and the coachman responsible for driving the carriage.

Silbaz and his men were just ahead. He saw that the bandits were closing the encirclement and moving their main battle direction towards this side in a U-shaped battle line. This way of fighting by the bandits forced Silbaz and the adventurers to organize a two-line defense. However, this would put the adventurers under attack from both sides and require them to stretch their defenses, which exposed the shortcoming of Silbaz and his men being short of manpower.

It took less than two minutes. The bandits' attack was too fierce, and most of the adventurers were exhausted. The battle was completely one-sided.

But fortunately, there have been no casualties among the adventurers so far.

Despite this, the adventurers' disadvantage was getting worse and worse. Silbaz was so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, but were quickly swallowed up by the rain.

At the same time, some other bandits rushed directly towards Elsa. Elsa and her group were trapped in a small encirclement, with bandits surrounding them from the forests on both sides.

"Our mission is to hold off the few people protecting the convoy. We need to be careful and wait until the boss and his men win."

One of them said.

Their mission was just to hold back Elsa and the others, and once the battle in front was won, the bandits would turn their guns around and capture Elsa and the others immediately.

"It doesn't matter. There aren't many of them."

Someone else said.

But when they got closer, they were immediately happy.

"Haha, look, just a few little girls! It's going to be fun later—"

"Don't take it lightly."

The bandits' offensive that Aisha and her companions faced was not fierce. The bandits really just wanted to hold Aisha and her companions back. Obviously, the bandits wanted to use this method of dividing the battlefield to end the battle quickly. In their view, there were not many people at the rear of the caravan, and they were all carriage drivers. They did not need to expend too much effort, and they just needed to hold them back. The main force was placed on Silbaz's side.

Elsa and her companions fought back and forth under the siege of the bandits, or rather, they had the advantage, and the bandits did not fight them head-on.

In the back, the carriage driver also took out his weapon and stood cautiously near the cargo.

"Ms. Fasha...what should we do? The situation doesn't look good..."

Several drivers looked tense, obviously unable to cope with the situation. The caravan was completely trapped in the quagmire dug by these bandits. Although the drivers knew some basic fighting skills, compared with those vicious bandits, their strength was actually not much different from that of sheep.

So they could only rely on Elsa and the others for protection and did not dare to leave the carriage at all.

"Don't leave here, our people will protect you."

Aisha said, looking towards the front of the caravan.

"Tricia," Aisha turned to look at Tricia, "I'll leave this to you and Grace. Hold these bandits back. I have to go to the front to provide support."

Elsa also noticed that the caravan was already surrounded. Although Silbaz and she had agreed on their respective areas of responsibility, the bandits were now clearly focusing their attack on the opposite side. As a teammate, Elsa would not watch them fall into trouble.

"give it to me."

"Becky, Alman, you two protect the driver."

Becky agreed immediately, and Alman had no choice but to obey.

Aisha withdrew her gaze and said to Xia Li, "Let's go support Silverbaz."

"Okay!"

Charlie suddenly perked up.

It's not that Charlie is so warlike, but she has had almost no room to perform during her journey, whether cooking or fighting, because of Elsa's presence. This makes her feel a little depressed as she always wants to help Elsa and make her presence felt in front of Elsa.

Now that she can fight alongside Elsa, Elsa personally chose her, proving that Elsa needs her. Naturally, Charlie is happy.

"Let's get on the horses!"

Elsa jumped onto the horse, holding the spear in her hand, and rode directly towards the front of the caravan. Charlie also jumped on the horse and followed closely behind.

Their movements immediately attracted the attention of the bandits.

"They're trying to escape!"

"No, they're going to provide support—Hey, stop them!"

Someone among the bandits shouted.

"Hey, just two women—Miss, I'm sorry, please stay with grandpa!"

A dark-skinned bandit laughed strangely and also mounted his horse and rushed directly towards Elsa. He grabbed a spear, held it straight towards Elsa, and rushed over - the spear was much longer than the spear in Elsa's hand. The two rushed face to face, and everyone could see clearly who had the advantage.

So he thought Elsa would avoid the sharp edge.

But Elsa didn't.

Instead of slowing down or avoiding, Elsa lowered her body, sped up her horse, and rushed directly towards the bandits.

"Hehe, if you're looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless—I used to think you looked pretty, what a pity..."

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

He laughed strangely, but before he could finish his words, he saw Elsa actually reaching out to grab his spear - his eyes widened, and he saw the spear being grabbed by Elsa directly in her hand. For a moment, he even saw sparks flying.

Not only did Elsa continue to move forward, she grabbed the spear and pulled it hard - although it was a charge in the opposite direction, Elsa's movement speed was much faster. The bandit lost his balance and was almost dragged off his horse.

Normally, if you've stabbed an enemy with a spear, it's best to let go, but in this situation, the bandit was unsure whether to let go or not. How could you grab someone's weapon while charging with a spear? And with your bare hands?

Elsa didn't wait for him to think slowly. She clamped his spear with one hand, swung the spear in reverse, and suddenly broke away from his hand, and lashed him in the face like a whip. The crisp sound accompanied by huge force almost knocked him unconscious. Before he could react, Elsa had already sent the spear towards him. The blade pierced his chest with a "puff", and a puff of blood mist exploded in the air. He whimpered from the depths of his throat.

Elsa continued to ride at full speed, and her spear lifted the bandit off the horse. The bandit dangled on the spear's tip like a leaf, letting out a shrill cry. His eyes were wide open, and he held Elsa's spear tightly with both hands. His legs had no support, so he could only struggle left and right.

One hit didn't kill him.

Elsa had been deliberately suppressing her strength, and relying on the horse's running speed, she could only do so much.

"Ahhh-"

It was not known whether it was out of fear or unwillingness, but the bandit roared, and Elsa pushed and shook with her palm, and the bandit trembled all over. In an instant, he no longer had any resistance and slid down the gun body like a puddle of mud. Elsa tilted the gun body and threw him to the ground.

The horse stepped over him without Elsa even looking at the body.

These bandits are not good people. If Tricia hadn't secretly cheated for Silbaz and his men, Silbaz and his men would have been surrounded and annihilated by now - this is obviously not the first time these bandits have done such a thing, and their hands are stained with countless blood.

Elsa won't kill casually, but she won't show mercy either.

304. Galloping Lance

As a veteran adventurer with over twenty years of experience, Silbaz has traveled back and forth between the North and the West nearly a hundred times. He himself couldn't even remember how many times he had encountered danger on this road—be it those vicious monsters or these cunning bandits.

He had been to this forest at least a dozen times—not everyone would choose to travel by the main road. As an adventurer, Silvers worked for money, and he'd seen a wide variety of people.

Although he doesn't know every tree and blade of grass on this road, not many people can compare with him in terms of experience.

Even so, Silbaz had never heard of such a large and powerful bandit gang appearing nearby. In his adventure group, there were three silver-medal adventurers, including him, but now they were being suppressed and forced to retreat step by step. The big guy who was his opponent was even more powerful. He swung his fists and jab, and each blow was so powerful that he had no time to pay attention.

Why didn't he receive any intelligence about this bandit in advance?

Keng——

The punch collided with the straight sword, and the powerful impact spread out in the rain like a substance. Silbaz was not as strong as his opponent, and he relied solely on his swordsmanship to absorb the force. He was pushed back several steps, and his muddy boots left a conspicuous mark on the ground.

The struggle between the two men left the ground around them scarred and no one dared to approach.

Silbaz held the sword in one hand and pressed the sword blade with the other, his arm muscles bulging, and he stared at the burly bandit in front of him.

"Who the hell are you!"

Silbaz asked harshly, glancing at the back of the caravan at the same time. Although he couldn't see clearly through the rain, the caravan was also surrounded by bandits. They surrounded them but didn't attack them, just to keep them at bay. It was obvious that the bandits intended to defeat them one by one.

Silbaz's expression grew serious.

If there had always been such a group of dangerous and powerful bandits in this forest, Silverz would not have been unaware of it - otherwise he would never have taken this route.

But it's too late to say anything now.

The burly bandit didn't answer him, but only grinned fiercely: "What do you care who I am? This is your grave anyway, and you're all going to die here. Why should I waste my time talking to someone who's about to die?"

Silbaz narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:

"We're working with the Morton Fornia Chamber of Commerce," Silbaz stared directly at the burly bandit, his sword and fists making a teeth-grinding sound. "If we get into trouble here, the Chamber of Commerce won't sit idly by!"

The Chamber of Commerce is a stable organization and also has its own standing armed forces. These armed forces have a certain deterrent effect and are also a guarantee for the survival of an organization.

Moreover, behind the Morton Fornia Chamber of Commerce is the Morton family, a genuine imperial aristocracy.

Silbaz hoped to scare the bandits away.

However, the burly bandit burst into laughter: "Chamber of Commerce? Hahahaha—I'm looking for you!"

"Hmm?" Silbaz frowned, sensing something unusual. "Are you... coming for us?"

"I won't talk nonsense with you, go to hell!"

The fists and jabs were connected and rushed towards Silbaz suddenly, but Silbaz twisted the blade, turned the blade downward, took a step back and pressed forward with his knees. Amidst the sparks, Silbaz's elbow had already been imprinted directly on the bandit's face. The bandit stepped back a few steps in pain, blood oozing from his mouth and nose. Silbaz immediately gave chase and pushed the fight out. The sword wind rolled up the rain curtain, and the boiling magic power gathered on the blade and slashed straight down. The bandit did not want to be outdone and blocked and counterattacked.

Silbaz's sword had been cut in several places, and the bandit's fist was almost broken by the chop. Both of them also had some wounds on their bodies, but neither of them could do anything to the other.

But Silbaz knew that the current battle situation was not optimistic for the adventure group. If it continued like this, they would be the only ones to be defeated.

Fortunately, up to now they have not lost any manpower, but several of these bandits have been killed.

But it doesn't help.

"This isn't a solution... The enemy has a large number of people and is very powerful. We can't save the goods. We must break out. Those who survive should go directly to Seyavis for help. This might give us a glimmer of hope. As long as we leave the forest, the enemy won't chase us too far..."

Silbaz was thinking quickly about how to counterattack and break out. At this moment, he saw Aisha charging towards their front line on horseback. He was stunned - Aisha and Charlie, just two people, actually broke through the encirclement of the bandits.

The burly bandit had obviously noticed Elsa and Charlie. A look of surprise crossed his face, but he also let out a cruel, strange laugh. "They're just two women. I thought they were something else—stop them!"

he yelled.

At the same time, Silbaz also issued an order: "Brothers, come on, hold these bastards back!"

Now that "Fasha" has broken out of the encirclement and is coming to support us, if we still passively defend at this time, we will really ruin our chances of victory.

All adventurers knew very well that in such a desolate area, the only result of defeat would be death, so they were all very eager to fight.

"on!"

"Come on!"

Suddenly, the adventurers counterattacked the bandits.

At the same time, Elsa and Charlie were surrounded by bandits. Several bandits chased them on horseback, but they couldn't catch up at all - the muddy ground made it difficult for the horses to run at full speed. Strangely, they found that this did not seem to have any effect on Elsa.

The bandits in front also formed a simple defense line to try to stop them.

"Xia Li, I'll leave the back to you. I'll take care of the front."

Elsa said to Charlie, and Charlie responded softly, immediately slowing down and turning her horse around. The bandits who were rushing towards her saw that Charlie not only did not run away, but also stopped to wait for them, and immediately rushed over howling.

"Take this guy down first!"
