Chapter 106 – Mercenary Raid
Chapter 106 – Mercenary Raid
Slaying the Bipedal Flying Dragon and utilizing the dragon tendons of the Bipedal Flying Dragon, along with a portion of the Mountain Copper that Richard had purchased, the Harland Territory manufactured a dozen or so Enchanted Bows.
Although Richard couldn’t afford secret silver and fine gold, causing the grade of this batch of enchanted bows to not be very high and somewhat wasting the dragon tendon material, this batch of enchanted bows was also equivalent to a level 3 enchanted equipment, priced at over two hundred gold coins.
This part of the enchanted bows, basically equipped the territory’s mid-level officers, even vice lieutenant captains such as Kent and Robin were all given a handful.
Harland’s territory was created not long ago, and there was a huge lack of talent.
Even if the first-order professionals who had just advanced hadn’t made any great achievements for the territory, Richard still prepared enchanted armor, enchanted bows and arrows for them.
It should be known that in the Central Legion, if you want to be equipped with enchanted weapons, you need to use military credit to exchange.
Although the Harland family equipped the officers with enchanted armor and enchanted bows, the ownership of the enchanted equipment belonged to the Harland family.
If the officers retired, they could not take away the enchanted bows and enchanted armor for their own use.
Five enchanted bows and arrows with a range of over eight hundred meters in the hands of a professional.
In just a minute or two, the five had shot a dozen rounds of feathered arrows, killing over fifty mercenaries.
Seeing how powerful the five Richards were, the professionals hiding among the mercenaries came out in droves.
The seven silhouettes moved extremely fast, running out from the mercenary ranks in a blink of an eye, as if they were an arrow, stabbing at the crowd.
A small mercenary group unexpectedly had more than seven professionals.
One had to know that the squadrons of the main army corps, generally speaking, only had five Professionals.
In a lord’s private army like the Harland Territory, there were often only two or three professionals in a squadron.
With seven professionals as the backbone, it was enough to organize two or three squadrons. Such strength was already no weaker than a baronial domain.
What was worse was that Richard suddenly felt a serious threat, as if he was locked by a beast in the dark.
This was the second time he had encountered such a situation since he had exceeded twenty days of mental strength and gained the Danger Sense talent.
The last time was when he was fighting a bipedal flying dragon, which made Richard feel the danger.
Although the talent of Danger Sense was good, it also required the user’s will to pass.
If the user was too afraid of death, as soon as he sensed danger, he would be scared to death and would not be able to fight calmly.
This talent might be counterproductive.
On the battlefield, the more afraid of death one was, the faster one would die.
People who were afraid of death awakening the Danger Sense talent might die a bit earlier.
Richard’s guts were not small, although he was young and had already fought more than a dozen battles, although he hadn’t suffered any serious injuries and had experienced many battle tests.
The more he sensed danger, the calmer he became on the battlefield instead.
Seeing the seven professionals rushing up, Richard and Soros exchanged glances and decisively loosened the bowstring.
Two arrows broke through the air and arrived in front of the mercenaries in the blink of an eye.
The mercenary who was targeted sensed the danger and hurriedly blocked the cold arrows with the enchanted arm shield in his hand.
The kinetic energy attached to the arrows was very strong, as well as the destructive power carried by the fighting qi.
Although the arrow shot by Richard did not penetrate the enchanted arm shield, it knocked his opponent to the ground.
The enchanted bow in Soros’ hand was of a higher grade, and an arrow pierced through the arm shield, with the arrowhead piercing into the mercenary professional’s neck.
The aorta was pierced by the arrow and blood sprayed everywhere.
Unless a magician released a Cure Serious Injury spell on the spot to stop the bleeding for him, the blood would drain and he would lose his life in a short period of time.
The mercenary professionals were so fast that they crossed the eight hundred meter distance in less than two minutes, and they used their weapons one after another, bursting into the sixth squadron from all directions, choosing to fight on their own.
The ordinary soldiers in the back also accelerated, cooperating with the mercenary professionals in the battle.
The professional who rushed towards Richard was a third-ranked warrior, this person had just knocked down a soldier and wielded a spear to stab Richard.
Two wooden vines appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around his legs. The third rank mercenary exerted his legs, the muscles on his legs bulged high, instantly tensing his pants legs, trying to break free from the wooden vines.
Unfortunately, the amount of mental energy Richard had invested into this magic was four points.
Four points of spiritual energy was enough to release a third ring magic.
Although Muten Twist was only a first ring magic, the power of four points of spiritual power was still very impressive.
The third-ranked mercenary used all his strength, but he simply couldn’t break free from the wooden vine.
Being in a ground formation, if they suddenly couldn’t move, their situation would naturally be extremely dangerous.
Before Richard could launch his powerful freezing ray.
Seven or eight soldiers raised their swords and spears and swarmed to cut this person down to the ground.
Unable to move his legs, he was unable to dodge at all, and although this person also killed two soldiers head-on, he was sneak attacked by the soldiers behind his flanks.
In the blink of an eye, a third-ranked professional died under the chaos of knives.
A third-order professional fighting serf soldiers, clad in heavy armor was enough to fight one against a hundred.
Unfortunately, on the battlefield, he was restricted by a magician, and a few serf soldiers would be able to finish him off and kill him.
“Be careful, there are magicians among the enemies.”
Seeing this scene, the remaining few mercenary professionals’ faces changed drastically.
When Simon had hired them, he had intentionally not made Richard’s information clear.
Secretly, he also wanted to lend them a hand to make Richard use a few magic spells to consume Richard’s mental power.
The mission Jerram gave Simon was to secretly kill Richard before wiping out the merchant team.
After killing the bipedal flying dragon, Richard’s magician level had broken through the fourth rank.
This intelligence was not understood by outsiders at all.
It had only been three and a half years since he had studied magic and was able to advance to the fourth ring. This speed was a bit faster than even the recognized genius Sophia.
Richard, in order to prevent trouble, certainly wouldn’t go and deliberately publicize it.
Including the news of getting the four to six layers of the Berserkers Legion Breathing Method and advancing into a middle-ranked warrior.
Other than Sophia, William, Powell and other close people, even the officers of the Harland Territory did not know that Richard had broken through the fourth rank in both magic and martial arts.
Although he wasn’t able to personally kill his opponent and get the killing experience. By taking them by surprise and sacrificing two soldiers, he exchanged a third-order officer.
Together with the one professional that Soros had shot dead, two of the seven mercenary professionals had already been attenuated.
Three of the remaining five had broken into the sixth squadron, and the most powerful one, a fifth-order warrior, tangled with Soros
The fallen professional shot by Richard had just gotten up when Richard seized the opportunity to give a strong freeze ray.
This time his luck was met with such extreme luck that he couldn’t dodge in time.
He was hit by the freezing ray and received his box lunch on the spot.
“Killing a first ranked professional, rewarded with 500 experience value.”
A prompt came from his mind, and Richard turned around, ready to help his uncle Soros with his troubles.
Soros wasn’t particularly good at melee combat.
His fighting skills were still not as good as Richard’s, and his sword skills were only of the third rank, and he hadn’t learned any close combat qi martial arts.
Once he tangled with an opponent of the same rank in close quarters, he was immediately left and right.
Seeing Richard freeing up his hands to help, Soros’ heart instantly relaxed a bit.
