Chapter 29, The Spiking Porcupine
The base of the bandits is really hidden. The stronghold of this group of people in the forest is located in a cave that looks like a bear hibernating. In most cases, no one will choose to rest in this cave.
Passing through the passage, Ryan unexpectedly found that the inside was quite spacious, obviously reinforced by bandits, with torches hung on the rock wall, and there was a sound of dining and punching inside.
"Go and call the door." Ryan smiled and squeezed the little boss's neck. Noah can be sure that as long as he dares to say no, his neck will be crushed instantly.
"Boss, it's me, I'm Noah, open the door!" The little boss called the door, and the door was easily opened.
"Noah? Why are you back, kid?" The bandit leader felt very strange when he saw Noah come back with his head down.
"Boss... Boss, I..." The little boss walked in with a few people timidly.
"What are you? What are you doing when you come back? Didn't you ask you to monitor the camp at the foot of the mountain?!" The bandit leader cursed angrily.
"I came to find you."
"Who are you!?"
The visitor seemed too lazy to talk nonsense to the bandit leader, he swung his warhammer without hesitation, and slammed it down on the bandit leader.
"Traitor!" The bandit leader immediately realized that there was a traitor among them. He lifted the table with one foot, turned his body on its side, and avoided Ryan's attack. All the food and soup on the table splashed towards Ryan. Ryan Dodging sideways, all sprinkled on the little boss's body.
"Traitor! Traitor! Noah betrayed us, brothers! Kill this knight!" The bandit leader shouted, he turned over, grabbed the spear hanging on the wall and threw it directly at Ryan.
Ryan caught the flying spear casually, and then threw it behind him in the opposite direction. The spear pierced the bandit behind him through his chest, and the powerful impact nailed the bandit directly to the wall.
The bandit tried hard to pull out the spear stuck in his chest. His efforts were doomed to be in vain. After a painful struggle, the body nailed to the cave wall gradually became immobile.
"Yes, that's him. He is the boss's confidant. We usually call him the second!" The little boss exclaimed. He suddenly realized his situation, so he yelled at Ryan: "Riding...Master Knight, you I have fulfilled my request! Goodbye!"
After finishing his speech, Noah grabbed a long gun and ran outside frantically.
The bandits were a little stunned by the sudden change, and they all stood still.
"Go ahead! What are you doing in a daze!" The bandit leader yelled frantically: "Do you want this knight to kill us all?"
"If I were you, I should run quickly, because I only intend to kill him alone. If you run in all directions, I can't divide into several to chase you, right?" Ryan pointed his warhammer at the bandit leader, squinting said the eyes.
"...Boss is finished! Run!!!" I don't know which bandit shouted, and all the bandits immediately dispersed and ran towards the outside frantically. Ryan didn't stop him, and within two minutes, Only the bandit leader and Ryan were left in the cave.
"What made you guys come here to be bandits?" Ryan approached slowly with his hammer in hand.
"The land is gone and the house is sold. Do I have to wait to die at home?" The bandit leader retreated step by step: "You moths of the country, you took away my land and my property, Now come to take my life?"
"Ah, you are all the same. You always take everything from the farmers. The land is ours, the food in the field is yours, the river is ours, and the fish you catch is yours." The bandit leader slowly He calmed down, he knew that he would never be an opponent of a knight, especially after seeing the white wolf badge.
"So your way of revenge is to take the lives of those innocent passers-by and caravans,
Take something from them? If your own things are gone, do you want to grab other people's things? " Ryan was unmoved.
The story of the bandit leader may be tragic, but in what era was there no exploitation and oppression? Is it because he can't survive? So the people he killed deserved what they deserved?
What logic?
"Ha!" The bandit leader suddenly jumped forward, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards Ryan's elbow. Ryan just blocked it, and the long sword was bounced away. The strength of the two is really different. If Ryan wanted to, he could take the bandit leader's life at any time.
"Tell me, what's in the mountain? I can consider letting you go." Ryan said.
"This...that's true!" The bandit leader looked a little excited.
"certainly!"
"There is a group of goblins on the other side of the mountain. They have more than 20 wolves and more than 30 spearmen." The bandit leader's back was already leaning against the wall.
"anything else?"
"Well, there seems to be a very large silver wild boar with tentacles around here, but I haven't seen it."
"Very good, what else~" Ryan had already obtained two pieces of information, and he seemed quite satisfied. He let go of the hammer with one hand, touched his chin, and looked very interested.
"Also...Go to hell! Bastard!" The leader pretended to lower his head to think, he took out a dagger from his chest, and suddenly stabbed Ryan in the chest.
The dagger was only half drawn out, and the bandit leader's wrist was pinched by Ryan. With an unrivaled force, the dagger pierced the instigator's chest in reverse.
"You...you did it on purpose..." The bandit leader looked at the dagger on his chest in disbelief, and slowly fell silent.
"I've thought about it carefully, but in the end I still feel that I can't let you go." Ryan smiled evilly and shook his head: "Then now, all your ill-gotten gains are mine~"
He began to count the things in the den of thieves. The cave of the den of thieves stored the usual plunder of the bandits. Ryan noticed that there was not much food left, and the weapons were very tattered. There was nothing worth taking. Finally Ryan touched two gold dinars on the leader's body, which should be regarded as a reward.
Coming out of the cave, Ryan found that the little boss Noah was waiting for him at the entrance of the cave with a few people holding torches: "What's wrong? Didn't you let you run for your life?"
"Riding...Master Knight! If we run away again, where can we escape?" One of the older bandits put the dung fork on the ground, knelt down and held his head in his hands to show that he was not malicious: "We are almost out of food. , if you don’t mind, my lord, there are still some grains in the cave, can you give them to us?”
All spoils from the extermination of bandits belonged to the leading nobles.
"Others, can you take everything you like? We are really hungry, and there is no food in the house." Noah said while kneeling.
"Hey~" Ryan sighed, some things are always unavoidable, if they can't survive, they wouldn't come here to be bandits, because the bandits who are really capable are all on the main business roads.
"You guys go in, don't you have enough to eat as bandits?" Ryan raised his hand to signal these bandits to go in.
"The best food is always for the boss. If you get more, then eat better. If you don't get much, then eat less." The little boss came out with a box of black bread very quickly. He was greedy He quickly took out one and gnawed on it immediately, the way Ryan almost thought he was holding a roast leg of lamb.
"I still have some black bread here, share it with you!" Ryan also took out some black bread from the space ring. Let’s find a way out, don’t be a bandit, the mountain will be covered by heavy snow soon, go and find a way out!”
"Thank you! My lord, you are a good person. May Ms. Fortune bless you. We will never be bandits again, we swear." Several former bandits wept bitterly, and one of the bandits seemed to remember something: "Yes Well, this stone came from a passing dwarf, we killed it and found it from him, you are a noble knight, you must know how to use this, we bid farewell."
After taking the stone, Ryan found that it was the dwarf's identity rune stone, but it had been severely damaged: "Okay, see you later."
"See you by fate!" A few bandits took food and quickly disappeared into the forest.
After watching a few people leave, Ryan put away the rune stone and walked down the mountain.
The bandits have disbanded, it's time to go back to camp.
But after only a few dozen steps, Ryan immediately felt the abnormality.
The oncoming cold wind carried a slight fishy smell, and Ryan found that there were large creatures haunting the dark forest, and its body passed through the trees, making a "rustling" sound.
The spiritual energy gathered in Ryan's body. He reached out and wiped his war hammer. The blue flame was ignited and burned on the fine iron hammer head. He had already seen what it was.
It was a big wild boar, silver in color, over 2.5 meters long, and extremely muscular, with two fangs as thick as a child's arm raised high, facing Ryan's direction, and spraying water from its large nostrils. A big puff of mist came out, a front hoof was paddling on the ground, and the eyes were full of hostility.
It's ready to fight.
"It's really unlucky, those bandits have been entrenched here for a long time, and they haven't encountered this thing..." Ryan squeezed the hammer tightly, and there was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
come on!
"Ho~hoo~hoo!!!!" Moving its front hooves and raising its right leg, the big silver wild boar howled and charged towards Ryan. Its strong hind legs were full of explosive power, and its speed was very fast. , Within a few breaths, the big wild boar rushed in front of Ryan. Ryan tied his body, turned his body slightly sideways, and raised his warhammer.
"Boom!" When there were still three meters away from Ryan, the big wild boar jumped up high and rushed towards Ryan. The silver luster flashed on the huge fangs, and the huge figure was pressed down from the air. , wanting to stab Ryan right through.
"Drink it!!!" Ryan exerted all his strength, and he swung the warhammer sideways, and the hammer head burning with blue flames hit the big wild boar's face directly.
"this is?!"
Instead of hitting something as Ryan expected, the big boar actually flashed the head of the warhammer in the air, and its silver fangs left a white light mark on Ryan's face.
"Damn it!" The Knight of the Kingdom stretched out his hand to touch his face. If it wasn't for his extraordinary physique being tough enough, he would be disfigured right now.
"Ho~ho~" The big wild boar landed heavily three meters behind Ryan, howling triumphantly, sweeping its tail back and forth, sweeping up pieces of snowflakes, and the manes on its back began to stand up slowly , and gradually changed from the state of the hair to a metallic luster.
"Huh!!!" The manes left the wild boar's body, like steel needles, and flew towards the place where the knights of the kingdom were, making whistling sounds in the air.
Ryan raised the warhammer, held the handle of the hammer with both hands and spun rapidly, and the warhammer formed a cyclone in the rapid dancing of Ryan, and all the flying manes were blown away.
"This..." Seeing that a mane had become as hard as an iron pestle and deeply embedded in the trunk of the nearby tree, Ryan suddenly stopped the rotation of the hammer. A blue fireball, Ryan swung his warhammer forward, and the blue fireball flew towards the big wild boar. The big wild boar easily jumped sideways to avoid it, and then charged towards Ryan again.
"Come on! Fight!" Ryan also spread his legs and rushed towards the wild boar.
Heavy riding boots and thick front hooves stepped on the forest floor, leaving footprints one after another.
As it got closer, in Ryan's pupils, the figure of the wild boar gradually enlarged. Just like before, when it was two or three meters away from Ryan, the big silver wild boar jumped up again.
It's now!
Ryan's body fell backwards, as if he was lying on the snow, and his whole body slid directly under the wild boar.
The soft and fragile belly of the big wild boar had already appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. The Kingdom Knight used a warhammer to hit the perineum three inches below its belly hard at the moment the two sides passed by each other.
"Woooooooooo!" The big wild boar let out a shrill scream, its body in the air was like a deflated ball, it fell hard on the snow and rolled several times, collapsed on the ground and whined unceasingly, The kingdom knight turned over and got up from the snow, ran to the big boar, ignored its pleading eyes, and lowered the warhammer.
"Crack!" The big wild boar's skull was crushed, white brains flowed down, the beast's eyes turned white, its body twitched for a while, and then stopped breathing.
"It's done." Ryan exhaled. This is obviously a wild boar that has been mutated by the erosion of chaotic energy. It has acquired powerful abilities, a strong physique, and even the ability to mutate and harden its mane.
It's a pity that even after gaining great strength, the wild boar's mind didn't catch up. All it could do was to attack and use its fangs to attack the enemy. At most, it learned to shoot its mane. Its weak point is still its soft belly. This made Ryan, who had rich combat experience, seize the fleeting opportunity and severely damaged it with one move.
Otherwise, it may be very difficult to take down this wild boar, its fur is harder than iron.
Looking at the large corpse, Ryan suddenly knelt down on one knee and made a standard knight salute, touching his chest with his right hand and pressing his fingers on the White Wolf Knight badge on his chest.
"I would like to dedicate the glory and spoils of this battle to the great white wolf god of war, and may the white flame of the wolf god shine forever in the north!"
"Urik gave me wolf fangs, Urik gave me wolf claws, Urik gave me wolf coat, and I, show the enemy the power of wolf!"
After speaking, Ryan knelt there and stopped moving.
