Chapter 131 The battle begins (10 updates)
Matthew saw Adam Smith's dignity, he was willing to cultivate his own talents, and he was also willing to give this shrewd and capable businessman a chance.

This is Adam Smith's cleverness!

In this world, strength and ability may not represent everything, but they are the foundation of everything.

Adam Smith's talents were not particularly outstanding.

According to normal development, even if he invests a considerable amount of money and resources, there is only a small probability that he will be able to break through and become a high-level professional.

However, Matthew knew quite well.

A few years later, when a new wave of magic emerges, almost everyone will have the talent to become a professional.

The only thing that can limit them is inheritance and resources.

Therefore, Matthew now pays more attention to the ability of talents!

Just by fighting and killing, you can only be a thug at best!
Most barbarian soldiers can complete this task well after obtaining sufficient resources and sophisticated equipment.

Talents who can stand alone are what Matthew values ​​the most!

You have to be like Butler Ralph, who handles the development and internal affairs of the entire territory in an orderly manner.

Or like Angela, train soldiers, command battles, protect territories, and solve military problems.

If Adam Smith had a certain ability to command battles, he would not have been able to strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away.

As long as he can command the ball well and defend well.

The enemies coming from afar are a good group of test subjects.

They have a certain degree of discipline and their cooperation with each other is quite tacit.

Although more than 1000 people attacked dozens of adventurers, not even one was able to stay, which was really embarrassing.

But Matthew felt that these villains who were accustomed to killing people still had considerable fighting ability.

"How can we actually find such a powerful bandit group? This battle will be more difficult!"

Hollar, who came on foot from afar, also had this idea.

As a spear to advance and surround the adventurers.

He should have led the charge, tore through the sporadic defenses of the adventurers, surrounded more than 10 adventurers, and swallowed them whole.

Next, with the adventurer captive in hand, the operability is much better.

Whether using mind-attack tactics, quickly reduce the enemy's defensive momentum.

Or torture and intimidate them to weaken their determination to fight, which will provide considerable convenience for the next battle.

But the result?

The long wait and the exhaustion of traveling greatly consumed their physical strength.

In addition, from the bottom of their hearts, they looked down upon the adventurers recruited by the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, and they did not put in their full effort from the beginning.

The latter showed extraordinary vigilance.

They used the "silencing technique" scroll to launch a surprise attack, and were discovered when they approached about 30 meters away.

Hollar thought.

After discovering them, these adventurers will take chances like others, or they will sound a warning, thereby losing their last chance to escape.

Reality gave him a cold slap in the face.

The first time the adventurers saw them, they not only turned around and ran away, but they also ran extremely fast.

Hollar also saw it with his own eyes.

One of the leading adventurers actually tore open a spell scroll without hesitation, set off a gust of accelerating breeze, and led more than 10 adventurers to escape from their death encirclement!

"You idiots, I told you not to underestimate your opponents, but they still ran away!"

"Okay now, get ready to attack!"

"Everyone rest for 30 minutes and grab your bucklers!"

"As long as we block at most 5 rounds of arrows, we can charge forward!"

"Don't tell me you don't even have the strength to climb the wooden fence!"

The commander's roaring voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and every bandit had an angry expression on his face.

Because they know that the enemy is not simple, and people will die next!
Hollar stopped his pursuit, counted the men as quickly as possible, led his men to sit down, took out the dried meat from his backpack, and slowly bit and swallowed it.Rest time always passes quickly.

"They only have more than 500 professionals in total, and they don't even have a high-level professional. We will definitely win!"

"Kill everyone who dares to resist. We can earn at least tens of thousands of gold coins this trip!"

"Building a row of wooden railings just to block our group of black bandits? It's simply a wishful thinking!"

"Everyone, rush with me!"

The loud shouts reached the ears of every robber.

A tall and burly high-level warrior rushed forward first, holding his sword high.

"kill!!"

"Come on!!"

The bandits who wanted to vent their depression and desire to kill also followed with their shields raised and howling.

They have a lot of fighting experience, and they have great trust in the leader's strength and judgment. They will definitely win this time!
Seeing the robbers getting closer and closer, the cart drivers who climbed up the wall felt uneasy and scared.

After all, they had only received more than 10 days of training. Except for professionals, others had never even seen blood.

Facing thousands of robbers who shouted loudly to kill, not turning around and running away was already the effect of Adam Smith's slogan just now.

Knowing that if this situation continued, the morale of the cart pullers would be lost, Adam Smith decisively ordered:

"Set up the crossbow and shoot!"

The tough bow string suddenly tore through the air, making a dull sound of "bang bang".

Each crossbow arrow, which cost more than 10 silver coins, was endowed with "hope" and flew out with a "swish".

They flew toward the oncoming bandits with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.

The distance of more than 400 meters passes in the blink of an eye!

7-8 bandits fell to the ground in response, and the crossbow arrows tore their bodies apart like parchment.

The three robbers were killed instantly.

They were lucky.

Several other robbers were lying on the ground with their limbs broken, rolling and wailing like crazy.

The wooden buckler in my hand failed to play any role!

If you touch it, you will be disabled, if you hit it, you will die!
The terrifying destructive power of the crossbow arrows is fully demonstrated!

During the charge, Hollar's heart trembled. He did not dare to look at the miserable condition of his companions and ran as fast as he could.

Adam Smith was delighted and shouted in a high-pitched voice:

"That's it, reload quickly."

"Ready! Let go!"

The bandits who rushed forward about 80 meters were once again baptized by crossbows.

Even if they deliberately dispersed part of it, the dirt road that could be used for fast travel was only so wide.

Five or six more robbers fell to the ground screaming!

Even though the firing of the crossbow could only last for 4-5 rounds, it also brought huge psychological pressure to the bandits.

This tortured and helpless way of death made them feel depressed and crazy.

At the same time, seeing the tragic situation of the robbers rushing towards them, injured and lying on the ground, the originally uneasy pushcart drivers suddenly felt a different feeling in their hearts:

"It turns out that the vicious-looking robbers are also made of flesh and blood!"

Seeing the changes in the expressions on the cart pullers' faces, Adam Smith was overjoyed and shouted excitedly:
"Did you hear their screams?"

"They will also bleed and get injured. If you don't want to die, you have to kill them!"

"1st row of archers prepare, shoot!!!"

Scattered arrows flew out in scattered directions!
