Chapter 215 214. Nightfall
The development of the situation was very different from Lan En's plan.
After these bandits saw that there was only one person rushing into the battle, the advantage in numbers would bring courage.
They ignored the members of the Ronin group who rushed toward the ferry, trying to concentrate their efforts on killing the big guy who looked intimidating first.
After all, in their common sense, the entanglement between dozens of people versus one person can end in only a few seconds.
But wait until the witcher starts swinging his sword.
The huge power beyond ordinary people, coupled with Alondette's sharpness and tenacity, can cause far more damage than these people imagine!
“Whoa!”
With one to many, the magic runes on the Sword of the Lake Girl that rely on swings to accumulate power have hardly dimmed!
The magic runes on the sword surface left an afterimage of halo in the air.
Lan En rushed directly into the group of bandits.
These thugs, who had not seen blood for a long time, excitedly sent their weapons towards Lan En's body.
But with a flash of golden sword light, all the weapons broke neatly.
The wooden shaft of the spear, the handle of the two-handed axe, and the blade of the samurai sword. The fracture surrounding Lan En even showed a smooth arc!
The Sword of the Lake Lady is a weapon made by God. Its sharpness and toughness, Lan En has never encountered anything that can match it.
But now, there is no comparison between this group of Japanese bandits wearing simple armor and a Western heavily armored knight who spent a lot of money and has extraordinary talents!
The first sword cut off the weapon, his steps rushed to the ground, and his body moved forward.
The scope of the second sword already covers the human body!
It is still the horizontal swing with the widest attack surface.
This simple attack intention can even be seen by bandits.
There were even a few people with good reaction speed who had subconsciously blocked the broken weapons in the path of the sword blade.
But then, the slightly relieved expressions on these people's faces disappeared like water drops on a hot pot.
Because after their first reaction of emergency defense, they immediately realized a problem -
If their weapons can block it, then the opponent's first sword should be ineffective!
The sudden panic met the demon hunter's calm cat eyes.
The studded leather gloves and the sword hilt were clenched suddenly! The golden light on the sword has reached its limit!
[Slash Charge]——Nine levels!
The next sword's cutting power will be twice as strong as before!
The light path flashed past, and a sweep seemed to be unimpeded.
Rudimentary armor, broken weapons, fragile human bodies
The Sword of the Lake Girl stopped again, already on the other side of the row of bandits. Its golden light has disappeared after this sword strike.
After the sword passed, a sparse sound of landing was heard.
That was the sound of pieces of human flesh suddenly hitting the muddy ground moistened with blood.
There were eight bandits who came to besiege Lan En and wanted to turn him into a hedgehog.
Because there were too many people to stand apart, three people crowded in the back and stabbed them with spears.
And after the magic on the Lake Girl's Sword was fully charged and swept across with golden light, the eight people in front of it became sixteen.
Due to the length of the blade, the three people in the distance were only cut into their chests and abdomens by the blade, making a big hole big enough to stuff into the sea bowl.
There were still many bandits rushing towards Lan En, but due to their initial position, they were unable to squeeze into the first wave.
But their bad impulse to see blood still drove them to roar and rush forward.
And all these actions came to an abrupt end after the sword strike just now, as if the pause button had been pressed.
On the blood-soaked mud, the remaining conscious limbs were screaming and twisting.
The three people whose chests and abdomen were cut open fell to their knees with pale faces due to the huge loss of blood. They saw that they had no strength to even raise their hands.
The small bandit group of forty people lost eleven people in one encounter.
And the ‘person’ who caused all this?
He just swung his sword twice.
"Is it the [Sword Master]?!"
The bandits who were stunned on the way to the charge shouted with trembling lips.
"Is it Ashina Isshin here?"
Fear makes one's hands and feet cold, making it difficult to move. It also makes people confused, and they can't even distinguish between old people and young people, Japanese armor and Western armor. So Lan En could see that the main muscles of their torso were trying hard to mobilize the leg muscles, but the two legs were as if they had taken root, unable to move while stepping on the ground.
Lan En could understand their mood.
After all, in one meeting, more than a quarter of the forty people were killed.
Those people’s limbs were piled up on the ground like an exhibition of unsanitary restaurant chefs.
They really should be afraid.
After the initial and most shocking wave of fear, they will naturally recall the biological instinct.
Escape.
"Ship" a bandit said with trembling lips, "Set the boat quickly!"
So a group of bloodthirsty bandits swarmed towards the ferry.
But in the direction of the ferry, a group of ronin that they didn't care about at first were already in full position, clearing away the scattered enemies and maintaining their formation.
"Stabilize the defense!" Kotaro opened his bow and drew an arrow, his face deformed due to the roar.
"They are a defeated army! There is only one wave of momentum!"
Kotaro could see clearly that when these people were running away from Lan En, some even dropped their weapons and armor in order to run faster.
When they turned their heads again, they discovered that if they wanted to get on the ship, they needed weapons and equipment.
Because the people who took off their equipment ran the fastest, they ran into the Ronin group's defense line at the front of the crowd.
There was no suspense, they were slaughtered immediately.
The armed bandits behind wanted to rush forward, but their spears and ax blades could only hit the bodies of their companions.
The more panic, the more chaos, the more chaos, the more panic.
Until the end, Lan En and the Ronin group squeezed them in the middle, and then killed them all with swords and bows and arrows.
Just like Lan En’s plan, no one escaped.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
The Ronin was finishing up the bandits on the ground, and Kotaro asked beside Lan En.
At this time, Lan En was picking up a short bow used by bandits and looking at it.
Due to the lack of materials for making recurve bows in Japan, the power of short bows is very poor. Only by extending the length of the bow arm to more than two meters can the armor-piercing effect on the battlefield be achieved.
The craftsmanship of this short bow does not look like that of ordinary bandits.
Lan En’s initial prediction was right, someone was ‘funding’ these bandits.
The quality of the bandits determines that they cannot serve as the main body of the plan. And now, even the bandits are ready to cross the river, which means...
The demon hunter's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Everyone get on the boat, and when it is full, the rest of the boat will be burned."
After giving the order, Lan En looked downstream along the endlessly flowing Longquan River.
The sun was setting at this time, and the river water was reflected like fire and blood.
"I hope Pingtian Village can last longer."
