Chapter 39
39 – Killing Bandits
Dressed in red, a huge machete in hand, the bald man exuding a valiant air bellowed ferociously and charged at Yang Feng’s caravan.
When the bald man moved, under the command of their leaders, bandits from different forces urged their mounts and charged at Yang Feng.
“Kill him! Whoever brings me his head will be rewarded with 3,000 gold coins!”
“Kill him! Whoever kills him and brings me his head will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins!”
“…”
The bandit leaders roared and offered extremely high rewards, prompting the dregs and scum under their command to holler in excitement.
One gold coin could be exchanged for 2,000 copper coins, 1,000 gold coins could be exchanged for 2 million copper coins. Many lesser aristocratic families didn’t have a liquid capital of 1,000 gold coins. 1,000 gold coins was enough for the bandits to retire and live in prosperity for the rest of their lives.
When Gars and the rest of the aristocratic youngsters saw the tide of bandits rush towards them, they shivered, a look of horror in their eyes.
On the Turandot Subcontinent, aristocrats were basically descendants of Warlocks. With martial prowess being encouraged, many aristocratic families had Knight rank inheritance methods. Gars and the rest of the aristocratic youngsters had received martial arts training, and many of them were at the junior Warrior rank. However, when they saw the tide of bandits, they still felt shocked and frightened.
Yang Feng spoke frigidly: “Kill them, take no captives!”
Expressionless, 1,000 bladed robots orderly marched to intercept the bandits.
The wide expanse of bandits and the 1,000 bladed robots very quickly collided.
The next moment, countless limbs flew about as a large number of bandits and their mounts were sliced in two by the alloy blades of the bladed robots.
The bandits that had already unleashed their charge were to late to dodge, and so they still charged dauntlessly towards the bladed robots before being sliced in two by the expressionlessly bladed robots. It was like delivering pigs for slaughter.
When the bandits in the rear saw the hell-like scene, they at once became scared silly, and then urged their mounts and scattered.
The 1,000 bladed robots raised their engine power output to the highest level and charged at the bandits with a speed that exceeded that of their mounts, slicing one mounted bandit into two after another.
Gars praised sincerely: “Those golems are so ferocious!! The Steel City’s golem legion is really deserving of its reputation!!”
For the more that 10,000 bandits to be chased by just 1,000 bladed robots, that was just inconceivable. Even for a Knight rank expert, it would be difficult to overtake a mounted bandit. But bladed robots could easily chase up to the bandits, and then cut them in two. Such fighting strength was terrifying.
Countless mournful wails reverberated within the Hunting Fang Wilderness. Every second, a large number of bandits were cut into two, and blood dyed the wilderness red.
“Save me!! Save me!!” With a cultivation base of an Earth Knight, the bald bandit leader cut down quite a few of his subordinates as he urged his mount to escape the encirclement of the bladed robots. Suddenly, he saw 128 bladed robots surround him, and he shouted at once, terror-stricken.
Detached looks in their eyes, the 128 bladed robots pounced at the bald bandit.
12 bladed robots jumped up high and rushed towards the bald bandit.
“Bring it on!” That bald bandit gave a furious roar. In the blink of an eyes, he stimulated his body’s potential, and copped out with his blade 30 times.
In a split second, eight bladed robots were sliced into a dozen parts.
At the same time, sealing all of the bald bandit’s maneuvering space, a dozen alloy blades instantly slashed at him and sliced him into numerous pieces.
Looking at this scene from the distance, Budd felt his scalp go numb, and he rejoiced inside: “The Hundred Men Butcher Mark also died! Those golems are so strong!”
The Hundred Men Butcher Mark was one of the most formidable bandits in the Hunting Fang Wilderness as well as one of the few Earth Knights, and his fighting strength was only second to Gria’s. In his most famous battle to date, he slayed more than 100 enemies by himself, and got the fierce name – Hundred Men Butcher. Now, however, even one of the strongest bandit leaders was dissected by a dozen bladed robots. Budd gained a new understanding about how formidable the mechanical legion was.
In fact, the greater the numbers of the mechanical legion, the stronger its fighting strength was. In a one on one fight, in fight between a bladed robot and a Knight rank expert, the odds were 50-50. But in a fight between 100 bladed robots and 100 Knight rank soldiers, the bladed robots would crush the Knight rank soldiers. And that was because the bladed robots were well coordinated and unafraid of death, their defensive strength was formidable, with their vital points being few and small, and their fighting strength was dauntless. Human Knight rank soldiers didn’t have such qualities.
Their courage shattered by the bladed robots, large numbers of bandits urged their mounts to escape this hell-like battle field without looking back.
Finding themselves duped, the remaining bandits came to a standstill and hesitated.
Suddenly, the space in the underbrush 200 meters behind Yang Feng warped, and the black-robed man appeared and pointed at Yang Feng, and a level-1 Fireball shot towards Yang Feng.
The might of the level-1 spell Fireball was terrifying, and even a Sky Knight rank expert could only die when hit by a level-1 Fireball.
As for an ordinary person like Yang Feng, if the Fireball so much a brushed against him, he would be instantly burned to death.
In this critical moment, two level-5 shielded robots standing beside Yang Feng raised their shields, and their shields flashed with light, and two transparent energy shields suddenly appeared behind Yang Feng.
Boom!! The level-1 Fireball exploded an an instant, setting off ripples on the two transparent energy shields.
Gars looked at the black-robed man,and then shouted in appall: “Stealth! Fireball! It’s a Warlock! An official Warlock!!”
The rest of the aristocratic youngsters revealed looks of terror in their eyes.
On the Turandot Subcontinent, apart from places like the Warlock college Antalya where Warlocks gathered, an official level-1 Warlock could proclaim themselves the overlord of a territory. A level-1 Warlock could casually kill an ordinary person such as Gars. If not for the two level-5 shielded robots, the level-1 Fireball would have already blown Yang Feng into tatters.
