Chapter 188
Chapter 188
The pine forest, which should have been quiet, was now filled with a suffocating smell of blood.
On the ground, corpses were lying in all directions. Among the dead were militiamen brought by Hagen and Kuyer riders who came to trade, but the same thing was that their faces were filled with fear and despair before death.
A group of robbers and Valandian recruits were holding various weapons and shuttled through this Shura field, not letting go of any corner where there might be survivors.
As long as they found a slight movement or saw a figure swaying, they would rush up without hesitation and end the other person's life with the sharp blade in their hands.
Not far away, Knight Hagen was standing up with difficulty. At this moment, his body was covered with scars and blood, and the armor he was wearing was now in tatters.
He looked around with a long sword in his hand, looked at the robbers around him, took a deep breath, and took a fighting stance.
"Hey...it seems that Knight Hagen was not injured..."
Looking at Hagen's appearance, Nott taunted him in a gloomy tone, and while speaking, he slowly approached Hagen, as if he couldn't wait to take Hagen's life.
However, just when Nott was about to launch an attack, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
I saw Hod walking towards me with big strides under the protection of Orville and others.
When Hod came closer, he stopped, looked coldly at Knight Hagen, who was full of anger and wanted to eat him alive, and took the light crossbow from Orville next to him.
Without any hesitation, he raised his arm, aimed at Knight Hagen, and gently pulled the trigger.
With a "whoosh", a crossbow arrow rushed out, instantly cut through the air, and accurately shot Knight Hagen's right leg.
The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the flesh, bringing out a stream of blood. Knight Hagen groaned in pain, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Was it your own decision to collude with the Kuyel people to attack me, or was it instructed by the old man Anjana?"
Hod's face was calm, and his deep eyes stared at Knight Hagen in front of him.
"Damn bastard!!! You're dead!!!"
Faced with Hod's questioning, Knight Hagen's eyes were red. He knelt on one knee, leaning on his long sword, and roared with gritted teeth.
However, the cursed Hod was indifferent, but he skillfully raised the light crossbow in his hand and quickly reloaded the crossbow arrows.
Then, he aimed the light crossbow at Hagen's other leg with an expressionless face and pulled the trigger again without hesitation.
With a "whoosh", the crossbow arrow broke through the air and hit Hagen's thigh again.
"Ah..."
This time, Hagen could no longer endure the severe pain from his thigh and screamed.
Hod looked at Hagen with a distorted face, his expression still indifferent.
He silently loaded the crossbow with crossbow arrows, slowly raised it, and aimed it steadily at Hagen's arm.
"Tell me, did you do it on your own initiative, or did Angana instruct you to do it?"
Hod's voice was flat, but the oppression contained in it made Hagen feel difficult to breathe.
At this time, Hagen's forehead was sweating due to the severe pain, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word, just staring at Hod with his hateful eyes.
Hod saw this and shook his head, then slightly turned his body and his eyes fell on the ten carriages on the side.
These carriages were now unrecognizable, and the body was covered with dense javelins and crossbow arrows, like a huge hedgehog.
Hod stared at the scene, frowning slightly. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said to Hagen slowly: "I think this should be Angana's order. After all, with your status and position, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to get so many military supplies."
Kneeling on the ground, Hagen Knight widened his eyes when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to refute.
But just as his mouth opened, Hod suddenly pulled the trigger without any warning!
There was only a muffled "puff" sound, and the crossbow arrow came instantly and shot straight into Hagen Knight's mouth.
The powerful impact caused the crossbow arrow to penetrate his neck directly, and flew out from the other side, bringing out a string of scarlet blood.
Then his body fell heavily to the ground, and after twitching a few times, there was no movement.
Hod looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with him.
He casually handed the light crossbow in his hand to Orville beside him, and then issued an order: "Clean up the battlefield and collect all the weapons and equipment that can be used!"
Orville nodded in response, then wavedHe waved his hand, signaling everyone to take action, while Hood opened the team panel at this moment.
[Ding... After your excellent command, your team won, and you gained 5600 experience points]
[Ding... Someone in your team can be upgraded]
[Upgradeable troops: Valandia Recruitment × 25]
[Upgradeable troops: Elite robbers × 12]
Looking at the information of the troops upgrade, Hood closed the panel, came to the body of Knight Hagen, squatted down and searched, and found a purse in Knight Hagen's arms.
Opening the purse, there were indeed dozens of gold dragons in it. Then Hood's mind moved, and the gold dragons in the purse quickly decreased, and the balance in his backpack also soared to 52 gold dragons, 2 silver deer, and 35 bronze sheep.
Now that he had money, Hood no longer hesitated and directly upgraded all the soldiers. At the same time, he recruited 32 Valandia recruits to make up for the number of troops he led.
As the upgrade and recruitment progressed, Hod's team panel at this moment also became as follows.
Team:
Robber leader × 10.
Robber leader × 20.
Raider × 6.
Elite robber × 12.
Senior robber × 30 (staying in the manor)
Vlandia recruited crossbowmen × 70.
Vlandia recruits × 32
Putting away the panel, Hod looked around and saw that the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. After thinking for a while, he asked Nott to bring the three Kuyel people who were willing to be loyal to him and Old Rory.
After a while, the four followed Nott to Hod.
Looking at the shocking bloody scene in the forest in front of him, Old Rory showed horror on his face and his body trembled involuntarily.
In sharp contrast, the three Kuyel people seemed unusually calm.
Even when their eyes swept over the dead bodies of their fellow tribesmen lying on the ground, their faces only flashed a trace of barely perceptible sadness, but they soon regained their composure.
"Sir..." Old Rory tried to suppress his inner fear and bowed respectfully to Hod with stiff movements.
Hod glanced at Old Rory expressionlessly, then pursed his lips slightly at the three Kuyel people: "Ask them where the camp of their tribe is now."
