The bandits shouted.

Elsa ignored Charlie. With Charlie's strength, there was no danger at all in dealing with these bandits. Besides, vampires have very strong vitality.

Her gaze fell ahead.

Several bandits hurriedly raised their spears and pointed them at Elsa, but facing Elsa's horse charge, the bandits showed hesitation and timidity.

No one would want to confront a galloping cavalryman head-on. The heavy sound of horse hooves in the rain sounded like the sound of muffled hammers. Elsa didn't care whether they were afraid or not. She had already thrust out the spear in her hand, easily knocking it away. Then there was a dull sound of "Puchi" (sound of a stab) as it pierced the flesh - the bandit screamed miserably, his body lifted high from the ground as if hit by a rhinoceros, and blood spurted out from the penetrated wound.

305. The Battle Turns Around (3K4)

Elsa knew that the bandit would not survive, the spear blade had already pierced his heart.

In such a dark rainy night, Elsa has an advantage. In terms of night vision, there is no difference between night and day for Elsa. Even vampires cannot compare with Elsa.

As for the bandits, they died before they could even see where Elsa's spear blade stabbed.

The other bandits were killed in one blow. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately ran away in panic - they valued their lives more than obeying orders, and they did not want to face a charging lancer head-on.

The defense line was easily pierced by Elsa. Elsa's speed did not slow down at all. She flew straight to the side of the bandits' encirclement. She turned the spear in her hand and thrust it out again. One shot pierced the bandit's chest, and blood mist splashed. She swung the spear horizontally and hit the bandit's neck directly. With a muffled sound, the bandit's head and neck had become a right angle. He flew straight out and fell into the mud and water, unable to get up again.

When the bandits were about to launch a counterattack, Silbaz very tacitly led the adventurers to launch another counterattack. The bandits were overwhelmed and several of them were killed. In a few breaths, Aisha turned back from a distance and charged again.

There were only about forty or fifty bandits, and in less than a minute they had lost seven or eight of them.

This gave the adventurers hope, especially Silverbaz.

So "Miss Fasha" wasn't a swordsman? He thought, to be able to maintain such a strong fighting ability in such a dark environment, it would definitely be impossible if he was not an experienced swordsman.

This is not surprising. As an adventurer, everyone has some solid skills - even a magician who knows a few fighting techniques is not surprising. More skills mean more ways to survive, right?

"Don't retreat! Hold on!" Silbaz's eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "Now's our chance, hold them off!"

Originally, they were attacked from both sides, but now it was the bandits' turn to be attacked from both sides. Even though there was only Elsa on the outside, the pressure brought by a lancer charging at full speed was not small, especially since this lancer was a silver medal adventurer.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why Elsa was not affected by the heavy rain and the bumpy mud. This was a forest path, not a vast plain.

But it doesn't matter, no one will care about such things at this time.

On the other hand, the burly bandit wearing a dagger finally looked a little ugly.

"Harper! Bring me some men to stop him!"

He shouted behind him, and as soon as he finished speaking, one of the bandits withdrew from the battle circle.

"Harper?"

Silbaz frowned slightly, thinking about the name, and felt inexplicably familiar with it.

But he didn't think too much and focused on fighting the enemy.

"Don't let him get away so easily!" Silbaz wasn't about to let such a good opportunity go unnoticed. "Everyone, concentrate on breaking through!"

That Harper had been one of the powerful bandits who had previously fought against one of his silver-medal adventurers. He was a massive, burly bull. With Harper's departure, the pressure on the adventurers suddenly eased. How much pressure could a liberated silver-medal adventurer bring? Almost as soon as Harper left, the adventurers immediately turned the fight towards the bandits.

On the other side, Harper held a heavy steel broadsword. His strong body like a bull was taller than Elsa on horseback. In front of him, even riding a horse seemed insignificant.

"Hehehe, don't even think about getting past me!"

Harper stared at the fast-rushing Aisha with a cold look in his eyes. He turned his head and stared at a bandit, waving his finger, "—You, go stop her!"

Harper could see that Elsa was quite powerful, so he let these bandits go up to die. At least it could slow down Elsa's speed, giving him a chance to attack.

"Ah? But we..."

The bandit looked frightened.

"Go! Do you want to be killed by her or die now?"

The muscles on Harper's face twitched, and he suddenly swung the broadsword in his hand straight at them. The heavy sword wind whistled past their noses, and the broadsword left a conspicuous mark on the ground with a clang, and the faces of those bandits had turned pale.

"—Or was he killed by the Count?"

Harper narrowed his eyes and stared at the bandits. The bandits looked at each other and saw the despair in each other's eyes.

"Come on, come on..."

They made up their minds and knew there was no way back at this point - if these adventurers didn't die, they would be the ones to die. Having said that, they could only grab their weapons and charge towards Elsa.

This scene fell into Elsa's eyes - the bandits' voices were not loud, but Elsa caught every word.

"The Earl?" Elsa frowned slightly. "Is this group of bandits related to the Earl?"

Speaking of earls, Elsa only knew of two people. One was Shibern, who was the Earl of Dammas, and the other was Leonard, the Earl of Seyavis. She heard this from Silbaz and the others.

In the Linthesius Empire, a title is not an official position, but a title representing "ownership of territorial property". A person can have multiple titles. As for the name of the title, it was translated by Aisha from the title level in her previous life.

All in all, Elsa was careful.

She raised her spear again, and poof—as expected, Elsa's spear pierced the bandit's shoulder. This time, Elsa did not kill them directly, but just made them lose their ability to fight. At the same time that Elsa drew out her spear, Harper saw the opportunity and rushed over suddenly with the heavy broadsword. His body was as strong as an ox, and the weapon in his hand was full of oppressive force. He swung the knife horizontally, not only aiming at Elsa, but also including the horse in his attack range.

"Come down you!"

Harper had a ferocious look on his face. He attacked with all his strength. With his strength, an ordinary horse would definitely be cut in half with one blow. As for this woman, the same fate would befall her.

He is not like those indecisive and lustful guys. It is impossible for him to show mercy to women.

But in this brief moment, Elsa's wrist suddenly shook, and the spear shot out like an arrow. Elsa grabbed the tail end of the spear and pulled it back suddenly. She pulled the spear horizontally like a whip at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. She fell one step faster than Harper's attack and met Harper's broadsword.

There was a sharp clang, and bright sparks exploded in the night. Harper felt that all the muscles in his body were twitching violently at this moment, and an irresistible force came from his hands. Harper's heart skipped a beat, and before he could even be shocked, he was shaken back several steps, stumbled and fell on his back in the mud.

"What, what's going on... this guy..."

He thought his sneak attack should be able to successfully pull Elsa off the horse, but he didn't expect Elsa's reaction speed to be so fast and her strength to be so incredible. It was obvious that this woman's arms did not seem to have any muscles at all.

Harper raised his head with difficulty and tried to get up, but he felt a numbness in his wrists and his arms had lost all feeling.

And Elsa's spear had fallen again. He subconsciously raised his hands to block in front of him, but it was useless. Elsa's spear suddenly pierced through Harper's legs. Harper screamed from his throat. Now, his hands and legs were disabled.

Elsa still had something to interrogate him about, so she didn't kill him, but it was still very easy to cripple a person.

This scene fell into the eyes of Silbaz who had been paying attention to this side and the burly bandit holding a jab, and they were both stunned.

Harper's strength was obvious to all of them. How could someone who could fight a silver-level adventurer so effectively be so simple? They had originally thought that even if Harper lost, he would still be able to hold Elsa back. However, in the end, Harper lost his fighting ability in a single blow to Elsa.

This was a complete crushing of strength, without any fancy techniques.

Perhaps because Elsa could kill anyone with one shot and never showed anything special from beginning to end, they subconsciously ignored or misjudged Elsa's strength.

At the same time, Charlie also rode over on horseback. Charlie's fighting style was almost identical to Elsa's, and they were of the same lineage. She had a slender figure and looked harmless, but every time she swung the fine steel knight sword in her hand, she would directly split the bandits, along with their weapons, in half - she could also kill anyone with one blow.

But compared to Elsa using a spear to make a hole in her body, Charlie's was obviously more bloody, and the shock to the bandits was more direct.

The burly bandit's eyes were bloodshot.

"Asshole! The intelligence is wrong! Retreat!"

The muscles on the burly bandit's face trembled, and his relaxed expression was replaced by anger and fear. He roared, no longer wanting to fight, and suddenly punched Silbaz's sword to force him back, then turned around and wanted to escape.

How could Silbaz let him escape so easily? He rushed forward with his sword in hand and knocked down the nearest bandit with one blow. Even though the blade was bent, his sword still easily broke through the bandit's armor.

Blood was dripping down his face.

"Everyone, come at me! Don't let them get away, kill them!"

It is said that one should not pursue a desperate enemy. Silbaz was a little blood-thirsty and angry, but his judgment was correct. If these bandits were not killed directly or most of their manpower was not wiped out now, no one could say whether they would come back again - the caravan still had some distance to go before it could get out of the forest, and no one knew if there would be any changes.

Everyone knows that to cut the grass, you must remove the roots.

With Silbaz's order, the situation of the battle suddenly turned around. The bandits fled in all directions like sheep being driven, and the adventurers chased them. The previously suppressed anger and despair poured out with the adventurers' roars. Beams of magical flames exploded among the bandits. The bandits had become sitting ducks for the mages and archers.

The bandits swarmed into the forest and fled. It was impossible to run in the forest on horseback, so Elsa got off the horse. She did not participate in the chase, but only aimed at the burly bandit and threw the spear in her hand. The next moment, the burly bandit screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

He looked back in astonishment, only to find that the spear had pierced his thigh and was nailed to the ground. He was still in a forward-leaning posture, making it impossible for him to turn around and pull out the spear.

"Help, help me!"

The burly bandit let out a hoarse cry, but none of the other bandits turned back.

Elsa picked up a spear from the ground and threw it again, and another bandit whose strength was comparable to that of the silver medal adventurer also fell to the ground.

Silbaz caught up a little late, but he found that there was no use for him.

"stop!"

Silbaz shouted orders, and the bandit leader was subdued by Aisha. The other powerful ones were also left behind, and the other bandits ran into the forest - chasing them further would not expand the results of the battle and would be dangerous, so there was no need.

……

306. Involved in Trouble

The battle ended with the caravan's victory. However, the caravan's current situation is still not optimistic.

"Mr. Ebusen and Ms. Fasha, this is very unfortunate news. We are running low on potions."

Silbaz frowned, his face showing a mixture of relief at surviving the disaster and worry about the current situation.

He reported the current situation to Ebusen.

"I had my men leave some emergency medicine. We might run into trouble later. Those with minor injuries have been given simple bandages for now, but heavy rain like this can easily exacerbate their wounds. To be on the safe side, I think we should find a small town or village as soon as possible to repair and resupply."

"As for potions, I have a few bottles here. I'll get you some later - you can use them first and return them to me later."

Aisha said.

She didn't really need these things, and most of the healing potions in her hand were leftovers from some time ago.

"Thank you very much," Silvers couldn't help but glance at Aisha. Honestly, he felt a little embarrassed. He had just boasted to Aisha, but now he was the one being helped. "I'll have my people pay for it later. Just consider it as buying it from you."

Elsa didn't refuse.

Merchant Ebusen pondered for a moment, then said, "We already have one carriage that can't move, right?"

"Yes," Silverbaz nodded and said, "The frame is severely damaged and can't bear much weight. It will be difficult to repair it in a short time. We can only put the goods on other carriages."

Strictly speaking, the carriage was actually destroyed by Elsa, but given the circumstances at the time, Elsa's approach was the best solution. If it were Silvers, he couldn't have done better.

"However, we can also take those bandits in with us. At worst, they'll be a little bumpy, but they won't die."

Silbaz added, almost gritting his teeth when he spoke of those bandits.

At this time, the adventurers were checking the bodies of the bandits one by one, recovering their weapons and equipment. The dead were thrown on the roadside, and those who were still alive were tied up - the damaged carriage could not carry heavy goods, but it could still carry a few people. These bandits could be handed over to the Inquisition to collect the bounty to make up for the losses caused by the caravan attack.

"I have no opinion."

Aisha said.

"Well," Ebusen continued without asking any further questions, "How soon can our other carriages leave?"

Silbaz was still a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it. He glanced at the back of the caravan and estimated the time in his mind.

"About half an hour. The remaining carriage isn't too badly damaged, but it still needs to be secured with iron bars. It shouldn't be difficult to get out of this forest, but this is only a temporary solution. If we're going to travel long distances, we'll definitely need a carpenter."

"Let's set off as soon as possible. We can't stay here for long," said Ebusen. "After we leave the forest, let's go to the nearby town to rest. We are all very tired, but I hope you can hold on a little longer."

As he spoke, Ebusen turned his gaze towards Silbaz and then towards Aisha.

"Thank you very much for this time. I will give you more rewards later."

"Thank you, I'm glad." Aisha smiled lightly.

"Then I thank you on behalf of my brothers."

Silbaz also smiled. Although he often had a stern face, as an adventurer, who wouldn't want to get a little more reward? The journey was indeed dangerous this time. Even if no one died, the adventurers would inevitably have some complaints in their hearts. As the captain, getting a little more reward would be helpful to explain to everyone.

……

Elsa took out some potions and gave them to Silbaz. After thanking her, Silbaz went to treat the wounded.

Ebusen is confirming the goods.

Elsa found the bandits - at this time, Tricia and Grace were guarding them.

"Is there any result?"

Elsa asked Tricia, glancing at Grace, who studiously looked away.

"I've asked everything I need to ask," Tricia nodded. "To make it short, they're not bandits, but criminals from Seavis."
