Chapter 18, On the Street-Bloody Night

The store closest to their group, which had a bull-head sign with the golden horns of the Ska Chamber of Commerce, was kicked open by Keir.

This is a grocery store that sells food that can be taken outside.

Keir kicked open the door of this shop and walked in directly. It was already midnight at this time, and there was no one on the first floor of the store. There were only some pickled foods that had been knocked into the bucket neatly placed.

Smelling the aroma of salty and smoky food, Kil used the torch in the hands of the militiamen behind him to find the stairs leading to the second floor of the store.

Before he could go up to catch someone, two strong men in disheveled clothes walked down the stairs.

"Where did you come from with unclean hands and feet? Do you know that this is our Sissi?"

Before the strong man at the head could finish speaking, he saw soldiers rushing into the room. He got knotted in mid-sentence and could say no more.

Kil didn't waste any time and strode over directly, charging up the shield in his hand.

"What are you doing!" The strong man shouted loudly, but the movements of his hands were a little faster than his words.

The thick wooden stick covered with iron sheets was stabbed directly at Kil. It was not that the man didn't see Kil's armor all over his body, it was just a subconscious action.

Bang, boom.

The shield was swung to deflect the opponent's stick, and then hit the opponent's face.

In just one moment, the strong man lay down on his back with blood spurting from his mouth and nose.

The other shop assistant behind him saw something bad and wanted to run away. Just as he was about to go back to the stairs and escape upstairs, he was struck by Kiel and stabbed his calf with a sword. Then he dragged the sword and cut it off. The back tendon of one of the opponent's knees.

"Someone, tie them up and drag them out!" Keir ordered, then kicked the sticks out of the two men's hands and walked upstairs on the narrow stairs.

Pushing open the wooden door that had not yet been covered, Keel discovered two more naked women who kept screaming in the residence on the second floor of the shop.

"Shut up! Be quiet!" Kil shouted, but the two women did not obey.

Kil had to wave the long sword dripping with blood to 'pacify' the two men.

"Come on two people, tie these two up and drag them out!"

After Kiel finished speaking, he found the stairs leading to the third floor of the store on the second floor where the two storekeepers lived.

He kicked open the wooden door of the stairway that was closed from the inside, and then looked up. He happened to meet another middle-aged man holding a pair of daggers.

The man saw the armor on Kil's body from the light shining from behind, and immediately turned around and ran away in shock.

Ding ding ding, Kiln jumped up the stairs a few steps. He was about to slash the man with his sword, but he didn't expect that the man rushed directly into his house on the third floor, closed the wooden door tightly, and then hid behind the door. Block back.

He shouted about the Ska Chamber of Commerce and asked Kil to retreat, but what greeted him was only the tip of a long sword that penetrated the wooden door directly.

This sword directly pierced the palm of his hand that was pushing against the wooden door. The pain suddenly made him retract his palm. Kil, who was outside the door, pushed forward and easily pushed down the wooden door and the middle-aged man blocking the door. on the floor.

"Hell! No matter who you are, the people from our Chamber of Commerce will not let you go! Go to hell!" One hand was injured, and the man directly grabbed two daggers with the other hand and stabbed Keir's leg. Stab away from above.

But Kil directly raised his foot and kicked him, letting the opponent's dagger stab a little spark on his thigh, and kicked the man together.

After kicking the weapon away from the man's hand, Kiel instructed the militiamen behind him to tie him up and drag him out.

He had just seen outside the shop that this place was only three stories high, so after subduing the man, he blew out the lights on the third floor, went downstairs and walked out of the shop.

The other people who had been there had been tied up with strips of cloth and rope, and they all fell down on the gravel in the middle of the road.

The woman's frightened shouts alerted other shops on this street. Some people were awakened from their sleep and muttered carelessly, complaining that those people really tormented women in bed. The cautious ones picked up the ones hanging on the wall. Dagger, bang dong dong, he walked downstairs to see what was going on.

Knight Crow didn't care about this. He asked Plant to find some people to maintain order here. After all, they will leave tomorrow morning. After cleaning up the Ska Chamber of Commerce in Pine Needle Town, the things left by this chamber of commerce still need Guluo. The husband's family will manage it.

As for how to do it, it has nothing to do with them.

The knight raised his chin at Kil, who was looking at him, and motioned for Kil to take people to a shop on the other side.

It was much better here. The two shops next to each other belonged to the Ska Chamber of Commerce. They boldly rushed out of the shop with weapons in hand, but as soon as they came out, they felt something was wrong. They turned around and wanted to return to the shop to resist.

But Kil had already rushed over with his men.

Kil took the lead, relying on the armor protection on his body, he didn't need to approach cautiously, he rushed over at a trot, and bumped into the slowest shop assistant.

The man was squeezed by him and wanted to chop off Kiel's head with a short knife, but no matter how much the guy banged Kiel's helmet with the short knife, it had no effect.

Kil just hit his head against the man's head, knocking him unconscious even though he was still resisting tenaciously.

Then he raised his long sword high and slashed open the shop door that was closed by everyone in the shop.

He added another kick and smashed half of the wooden door.

The broken door had no ability to block it, and the people inside immediately retreated, planning to run to the second floor of the store. But Kil rushed in and cut the weapon in the hand of the shop assistant who turned around and brandished a stick into two pieces with a sword.

Then he kicked the man down with another kick.

The melee militiamen following Kiel immediately caught up, cut off the hand of the man who fell to the ground with a sword, and then took control. With two quick steps, Kil followed the fleeing people in the store and followed the stairs directly. He slashed the calf of the man in front of him with a sword. The man wailed and fell down on the stairs.

After stepping on the fallen person, Keir caught up with the previous person. He used the same move and directly stabbed the opponent's legs and feet from behind. Then, regardless of the opponent's wailing, he stepped on the opponent and caught up, stretching out his legs to block the opponent's thoughts. Wooden door to be closed.

"Who are you? The town is managed by the Gulov family, and this street is the property of our Ska Chamber of Commerce! Kill us, and you will not end well!"

The people inside yelled crazily and used iron-clad sticks to hit the soles of Kil's feet that were blocking the wooden door.

Unfortunately, Kil's boots were covered with iron armor. A few blows only gave Kil a slight feeling, but no other pain.

Keir didn't answer the question from the person inside, but directly hit the wooden door which was not thick.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom! Make a boast.

Less than half of the wooden planks on the wooden door were damaged, but they still hold up. However, the entire wooden door frame and the copper hinge connecting the wooden door could not hold up and directly deformed and fell off.

"Ah!" The people inside wailed, and Kil rushed in.

What was coming was a short sword slash towards the neck. Kil retracted and raised his shield to protect the front of his body, so that the blow only cut through the brown leather used to decorate the shield's surface.

Kil placed the long sword against the edge of the shield, then thrust the long sword forward against the shield in a cunning way, piercing the man's chest directly. He drew the sword and twisted it, crushing the man's chest.

There was another person in the room, but he was trapped under the collapsed wooden door at this time. Kil kicked the weapon out of the other person's hand, squatted down and knocked the person unconscious with his shield.

"Tie up the unconscious ones and drag out the dead ones!" Kiir ordered the militiamen following him.

Then he took two people to explore upstairs. There was no one upstairs, so he extinguished the lights and walked out of the shop.

People from the two stores ran together when they were escaping, so there was no one in the other store. Keir took people up to check and came down immediately.

Knight Crow nodded to Kil, then smiled and pointed to the street in front of him and said: "Look, everyone from the Ska Chamber of Commerce has come out."

Sure enough, people in the whole street were alarmed by the banging on the door and the screaming, slashing and howling.

Especially in some entertainment shops that were still open in the middle of the night, the thugs there were the most alert. When everyone rushed over, they felt something was wrong, so they immediately gathered the people in their respective shops. Under the command of the senior executives of the chamber of commerce that managed the place, they Putting aside the sticks and other weapons used as a deterrent, he picked up the swords and other weapons stored in the warehouse.

They also dismantled the wooden tables in the tavern and reluctantly pieced them together into defensive bunkers and shields. Not only that, they also called on a few caravan friends who were close to them and happened to be playing here, and organized a team of dozens of people to gather at the other end of the street to confront Kiel and the others.

But Knight Crow just looked at this with boredom. After Kiel and his men cleaned up another store, he asked Kiel and his men to prepare for battle on one side of the street.

"Who are you? Why did you attack our Chamber of Commerce at night?"

Someone in the team on the opposite side asked Keir and the others loudly while their subordinates were cursing and swearing.

But Knight Crow was not interested in answering these people. He just waved his palm and ordered in a low-pitched voice that everyone could hear clearly in the noisy environment: "One team, free fire."

After giving the order, the militiamen of the first team who had been prepared in advance raised their crossbows, took a rough aim, and then shot towards the team across the street.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The tight mixed bowstrings made a neat banging sound, and then a forearm-long crossbow arrow flew out. The tip of the crossbow arrow reflected a flash of light under the firelight, and then in a short burst The sound of breaking through the air pierced the bodies of the thugs who were careless and unprotected.

The crossbow was powerful, far beyond some people's expectations. The crossbow bolt passed through the front of the body and then emerged from the back of the body. When encountering a harder body part, the bones will be broken directly in the body, causing a more painful feeling than the former.

The wails of those who were hit by arrows never stopped as soon as they started.

Because one team was still putting down their crossbows and cocking them, aiming and shooting continuously according to the different speeds of the militiamen.

The opponent was immediately blinded by the continuous shooting. It was not that Kiel's crossbows were powerful, but simply that their defense was not strong enough. The thugs had seen this before, so there was nothing to dodge. Consciousness, until the guy next to him was shot through the hands, feet and thighs by a crossbow bolt, rolling on the ground and wailing, these people hurriedly hid behind the wine table that had been used as a shield, or slipped directly into the shop they had just come out of.

"You can't do this. Come on! Let's rush over and kill them! If you kill each person, you'll be rewarded with a gold coin! Cash!" the commanding Ska Chamber of Commerce executive shouted loudly.

Immediately, these guys who were jealous of money rushed forward "bravely".

Of course, they wouldn't rush straight down the street. Even if there was only thirty or forty meters between the two groups, they could run over at full speed in just two or three breaths.

They were not that stupid. They were straightforward and took advantage of the gaps between the militiamen's shootings. They rushed directly behind several carriages parked on the street and used this thing to get close to the militia team.

The more cunning ones would run directly from the shops on both sides to the upper floors, then climb out of the windows and approach from the second and third floor roofs of the shops.

But Knight Crow just yawned, and his eyesight naturally saw everything clearly.

"One team, shoot freely at the enemies on the rooftops on both sides of the street."

"The third team, with five people on each side attacking. The second team, led by Kiel, follows up with the third team to fight."

So, when Mr. Plant called more than twenty trustworthy people to rush here, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw an example of how the regular army defeated the thugs formed by the Chamber of Commerce itself.

A group of militiamen approached the wall on both sides of the street, then turned and shot at the thugs on top of the shop opposite.

There were not many of these 'smart and cunning' people, only five or six. Several militiamen on one side of the street aimed at each one and fired at them. No matter how hard the targeted guy hid, he was shot into a bloody hedgehog.

It only took two or three rounds. With his companions wailing, he fell down and fell on the street. The last lucky guy immediately fit into the shop and never got over again. He didn't know where he ran. .

On the street, the three teams were divided into teams of five on the left and five on the left. They held their long spears diagonally and strode forward to attack.

Keir led men holding long and short swords, following closely behind them.

The two groups of people on the ground soon came into contact. The thug, whose courage was stimulated by the money, turned around and rushed out from behind the carriage with two machetes. He howled, raised his weapon high, and rushed over quickly.

But before he could get close, the tips of five spears were lowered, and the palm-sized iron spear points quickly swayed in front of his eyes. This forced him to stop and try to get out of the way of the fatal danger.

Unfortunately, he took a step forward and turned around to dodge. The militiamen on the opposite side only moved their arms slightly, strode forward and stabbed forward.

In an instant, the guy who rushed the fastest was hit by at least three spear points in three fatal places: face, chest and abdomen.

His face was torn to pieces by the metal tip, and his wife probably couldn't recognize it; the spear tip directly poked his lung into his chest, and as the militiamen twitched the spear in their hands, bright pink blood was drawn out; the blow to the abdomen , directly opened a big hole in his stomach that could leak out the internal organs. He was wearing no thick clothes, and the tip of the spear casually scratched a hole in his stomach.

Then two other militiamen in groups pierced their spears, and just in time, the three spears in front used the force to break free, and then threw them towards the other thugs who were rushing over.

The other team of spear militiamen did a better job, because there was no carriage for the thugs to hide here. The five spear militiamen lined up directly in a row and rushed forward neatly.

This scene was so deadly that the thugs and chamber of commerce guys who were about to rush to kill them took a step back, only to be stunned by the spears that pierced the center of their chests one by one.

"good!"

It wasn't until this scene that Knight Crow on the horse shouted loudly. For Knight Crow, this whole battle was interesting. The results of the others were just the strength they should have after normal training.

Not worth mentioning.

Keir couldn't hold himself back and knew how to show off, so he rushed forward with his men.

Relying on the full armor and shield on his body, he strode forward directly. The thugs on the opposite side were injured several meters away by the spears and were very painful. At this time, Keir led the people to rush over. They were overjoyed and waved. They rushed forward with weapons and howling, wanting to engage in their familiar form of fighting.

But they were disappointed. Just the invulnerable Kiel was too much for them to resist, not to mention the melee militiamen behind Kiel who were divided into groups of three or four. They were also enemies that these thugs found difficult to deal with.

The ten-man team behind Kil relied on their respective skills to form a battle formation of two, three, and four people. They all held the issued shields, but the weapons were different. The daggers issued were carried by each one, but only as a secondary weapon in addition to the main weapon. What they had in their hands might be a sharp long-handled machete, or a standard soldier's long sword, or a single weapon. A sharp axe, or a one-handed hammer passed down from the family.

These people couldn't keep up with the excited Kiel when he was cleaning the store before. Now they were finally able to show off their skills, so everyone howled loudly and rushed to attack first, so that those who didn't dare to fight head-on The thugs lost the initiative in the battle, and then were beaten to the ground by a group of companions who wielded weapons to gain an advantage. After three or five moves, they were chopped down to the ground.

When the spear militiamen saw Kiel and the others rushing forward to engage in a melee with the enemy in the middle of the street, they immediately got out of the way and used the length of the spears in their hands to push back the subsequent thugs who rushed up.

With the help of their companions to control the number of enemies, the melee militiamen took advantage of the advantage of attacking with more. The militiamen who were already better equipped than their opponents in terms of equipment were able to kill and stun every one of them. thug.

And what about Keir.

He went crazy.

Regardless of every attack that came towards him, he used the shield in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand as offensive weapons. They can each be used as weapons to kill enemies, and when encountering a slightly more difficult opponent, they will first block the opponent's attack with a shield, and then quickly counterattack and cut off the opponent's hands and feet with a sword, creating an opportunity to execute the enemy.

With this move, Kil killed five people in a row, and used shields to push the remaining enemies towards the melee militia group that had no enemies, asking his companions not to leave enemies alone and to kill more enemies with him.

In just a moment, more than 20 thugs were completely defeated. Broken limbs and broken arms covered the streets where the close combat was taking place.

Many people watching the excitement in the shops on both sides were so frightened that they fainted. Those who did not faint also covered their eyes with their hands and gasped hard with their mouths wide open.

Naturally, the senior officials of the Ska Chamber of Commerce did not expect that all of their subordinates, who they were usually proud of, would be knocked to the ground in just a moment. They were either killed or were clutching their wounds in pain. , making loud or low wails with difficulty.

The luckiest ones were those who were knocked unconscious. Most of them were knocked unconscious by Kiel's shield. At this time, except for the wounds on their skulls that could be seen on their heads, their whole bodies were intact.

When the senior member of the Ska Chamber of Commerce saw that the situation was not good, he immediately wanted to escape. He cut off the horse pull equipment of a carriage with his sword, and turned over to ride on it.

"Kiel, don't let him go!"

Knight Crow's order came from behind. Kil didn't say anything, but quickly raised his sword flat. A strong white light enveloped the gray body of the sword that was entangled with blood in an instant.

In just an instant, the white light that enveloped the sword body flashed away and was emitted from the sword body.

The speed of light.

At the real moment, a flash of extremely strong light suddenly appeared in front of the head of the Chamber of Commerce, who was not far away and had not yet turned around.

Both men and horses were shaken by the flash.

Then, the guy wailed and covered his eyes with his hands, and the poor horse was instantly shocked by the force, throwing the senior Chamber of Commerce executive off the horse, and then started running randomly on its own.

It was unlucky and came straight towards the militia. It was then pierced into a sieve by seven or eight spears and fell heavily to the ground.
