Chapter 25 Bold Bandit


Chapter 25 The Bold Gangster

In a word.

Although Brand is not a thick-skinned knight like Yersin.

But he is no longer the aristocratic young master who was unable to defend himself in the past.

Despite facing bandits who wanted to rob the caravan, all Brand could do was stay in the carriage and not go anywhere.

But at least he can speak a little louder...

Cough!

Because of the threat of bandits, Brand rarely wanted to do something serious at this time.

According to my teacher, becoming a junior mage apprentice will give you spiritual space.

Spiritual space can store a certain amount of one's own mental power in it.

The stored mental power can be recalled when needed, allowing you to have a higher upper limit of mental power in a short period of time.

——This means a lot to Brand!

Based on Brand's current upper limit of mental power, if the innate ability manifested through fantasy is realized in liquid, the liquid volume can reach about 300 ml.

But if it were to materialize as a solid, it could only materialize items with the volume of five or six coffee beans.

——It is of extremely limited use!

In order to make his talent play a greater role as soon as possible, Brand purchased a small batch of magic cores before leaving school.

Although the number does not allow him to directly become a junior mage apprentice, the time will inevitably be much earlier.

Then, under Catherine's surprised gaze, Brand "took out" a magic core the size of a baby's fist from his chest, and then began to absorb it attentively.

......

From Brand's perspective, the subsequent trip was undoubtedly a lot calmer, at least he did not see any more bandits attacking the caravan.

The caravan moved forward safely for a day.

At this time, a scout suddenly came back from the front on a fast horse to report the news.

Seeing the hurried look of the scout, after exchanging slogans to confirm the identity of the scout.

As one of the leaders of the caravan, Yersen quickly asked if he had discovered anything special ahead.

The scout did not talk nonsense and said bluntly: "About 1.5 kilometers ahead, someone piled rubble and wood to block the road."

"All on alert! Defensive formation!"

As Yersin shouted, the caravan quickly changed its formation.

Unlike yesterday's random attack, this time the caravan's carriages quickly gathered together.

The guards rode war horses and surrounded the carriage and entourage that needed protection in the center.

At the same time, Yersin shot a signal arrow with white smoke into the sky.

——This is for the scouts who are out to report the situation.

Yersen judged that since there were roadblocks on the road ahead.

Then it is very likely that there are enemies ambushing nearby.

The scope of the scout's activities is an area of ​​about 2 kilometers centered on the convoy.

According to the instructions given previously, the scouts will shoot red signal arrows into the sky when encountering enemies.

Although no scouts have been seen "warning" so far.

But it is also possible that the scouts were poisoned before they could send out a signal.

After all, if it were Yersen who robbed the caravan instead.

He would not give the scouts a chance to send out a signal.

He will sneak up around the caravan and then launch a sudden attack, leaving no time for the caravan to react.

The next moment Yersin shot the signal arrow.

With the caravan at the center, dozens of signal arrows emitting white smoke slowly rose into the sky around them.

Then, all the guards looked solemnly in the direction of the caravan.

——Only the scout over there showed no reaction.

——The enemy comes from the rear.

The entire caravan was filled with the atmosphere of an approaching storm.

At this time, Captain Anderson came up and gave Yersin a look.

Yersen understood instantly.

"The next step will be under the full command of Guard Captain Anderson!"

After saying these words gently, Yersin turned his horse's head and headed towards Brand's carriage.

Although he was very confident in the strength of his own bodyguards, for the sake of caution, Yersin still handed over the command to the captain of the bodyguard, Anderson.

——This is not to be afraid of!

As an older brother, Yersen just wants to protect his weak younger brother! after all!

He is currently just a senior knight apprentice.

Many scouts are stronger than him.

In Brand's carriage, Catherine, who was guarding the door, noticed Yersin coming and opened the door and let him in.

At this time, Brand cast a doubtful look on Yersen, who leaned down by the car window as soon as he came in.

I thought Yersen came over because he had something to tell him...but why did he lie down by the window.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Yersen be scolding Fang Qiu from outside at this time?

He is one of the leaders of the caravan!

Why did you come in and hide with him?

How can we revitalize our family if we are so timid! ?

However, seeing the solemn look on Yersin's face, Brand still gave up the idea of ​​teasing him, and instead began to worry about the situation outside.

He asked: "What's going on now?"

Yersen said solemnly: "It's hard to say, the enemy probably came from behind, and the scouts over there were killed before they had time to release the signal bomb."

Brand's face also became serious.

Soon, noisy shouts of killing came from behind the caravan.

"Arc formation! Keep the formation!"

At this time, Captain Anderson, who took over Yersen's command, stood on top of a carriage.

Wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.

Looking at the neatly changing infantry team below, Anderson nodded with satisfaction.

Although most of the guards are cavalry, the business road is too narrow and surrounded by mountains and forests.

After comprehensive consideration, Anderson still chose to fight on foot.

Although the enemies in front of me were dressed much the same as yesterday, they were all dressed in coarse cloth and equipped with a variety of weapons.

But this time, the number of people was much larger than before.

And he was keenly aware of the slightest threatening aura looming from the team in front.

Considering the personal safety of the two young masters, he had to treat them with caution.

“Raise your shield!”

Following Anderson’s command, the well-trained guards quickly raised their shields to block themselves and their companions.

The next moment.

Scattered and inaccurate arrows were thrown from the opposite side, and then landed on the guard's shield, and were firmly blocked.

When the bandits approached a certain distance, Anderson continued to order:

"Put down the shield! Set up the spear!"

"Stab!"

Under the command of Anderson, the guards of the Holland family caravan were like hedgehogs, methodically harvesting the lives of the bandits.

However, the opponent always had the advantage in numbers, and the arc-shaped battle formation gradually retreated and shrank under the pressure of the gangsters who were not afraid of death.

The current situation is still within Anderson's expectations.

Although the opponent has an advantage in numbers, the majority of them are mobs.

The guards of the Holland family currently guarding the outermost perimeter are at least as strong as Yersin's senior knight apprentices.

Therefore, although the defense line has repeatedly retreated and shrunk, with such an offensive method, it will take a long time and huge sacrifices to break through the defense line.

Anderson doesn't think these rabble will have the courage to last until that time.

Suddenly, Anderson's eyes narrowed.

After deflecting the sudden arrows with the shield in his left hand, he quickly raised the spear in his right hand, aimed at a figure that "rushed" to the front of the formation with the crowd, and threw it out with force.

With a "bang" sound.

A gangster is stabbed through the heart by Anderson.

Although he was dressed the same as the bandits around him, the aura he erupted before his death revealed his extraordinary strength.

——Intermediate knight.

If Anderson hadn't reacted quickly, the iron-barrel formation might have been broken by this "bandit".

Anderson looked a little ugly.

He knew this was just the beginning.
