Chapter 144: Witnessing a Brawl
“Young Master!” Deislay suddenly pointed ahead and introduced, “The tents on the outside are temporary structures set up by small groups without power . The sturdy houses inside are fixed shops of the major powers. Our clan is inside. Where should we go first?”
“I’m afraid it won’t be peaceful inside, right?” Old Xie said, frowning. At this moment, they were on a high ground outside the city. Looking from afar, they could vaguely see several brawls taking place in the city, yet the other passersby looked completely indifferent, clearly long used to it.
“That is for sure!” Deislay smiled bitterly and said, “Inside, strangers are in great danger. Generally speaking, one needs at least five companions to go out together; otherwise, it is very easy to be ambushed by the various pirates in the city!”
“Sigh!” Old Xie sighed and said with a bitter smile, “Then let’s not go in for now. Let’s go directly to find that group of barbarians from the Barbarian Plateau. They shouldn’t be living in the city, right?”
Actually, Old Xie wasn’t afraid of trouble himself, but the problem was he was afraid of endangering Constantine. So, he could only stabilize the situation first before deciding.
“Yes, Young Master!” Deislay immediately said, “Sven and his group live in that direction. Hmm, what’s going on? It seems there is a big battle!”
Old Xie and the others heard this and hurriedly looked in the direction Deislay was pointing. Sure enough, on the left side, two teams were facing off with drawn swords. One of them had over a thousand people, all Demonkin and various types of Demons, clearly pirates. The other team only had over 300 people, all extremely strong, naked men.
Seeing this, Deislay immediately said, “Young Master, those naked people are the barbarians from the Barbarian Plateau. The one leading them is Sven. It seems he has caused trouble again today and is going to duel with the others outside the city!”
“Do they often duel with others?” Old Xie couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Yes, Sven is a troublemaker. Anyway, since he came here, he fights with others every two or three days. Even big scenes like this have happened several times!” Deislay said.
“Mhm!” Old Xie nodded, then instructed, “Everyone get down. Chris Chen, put away the bears, and you transform back too. This big guy is too conspicuous. We need to keep a low profile now!”
“Yes!” After hearing this, everyone hurriedly took the wounded off the bear cubs and Chris Chen. Then Chris Chen put away the cubs and transformed back into his Human Form. They all knew that Old Xie’s purpose in doing this was nothing more than to reduce their profile. After all, these two bears were too conspicuous. If the remnants of the Black Dragon Society saw them, they would know that Old Xie and the others hadn’t run far but had instead snuck into the City of Chaos, which would be very unfavorable for Old Xie’s future plans.
After handling this, Old Xie didn’t ask about anything else but focused on observing the two troops. Among them, that Demon troop was almost identical to Tianfeng Fourteen Lang’s, mainly composed of Demonkin, Horned Demons, Hellhounds, and so on. However, the leading guys were riding powerful Hellfire Warhorses. They were obviously very powerful experts. After all, the Hellfire Warhorse was a level 5 hell creature. Without the strength of level 6, one couldn’t even think of taming them.
However, although these pirates looked fierce and imposing, compared to their opponents, they were clearly a cut below. Although there were only 300 of these barbarians, the sharp aura they formed was simply like that of three thousand people.
Don’t look at how these guys were all naked with only a piece of animal skin around their waists, but their average height of over two meters, their incredibly strong muscles all over, and the blood-stained wooden clubs and beast bones in their hands all displayed their power. Although they were far fewer in number than the other side, they not only showed no fear but also loudly mocked the other side from time to time, completely disregarding the pirates opposite them. It was just like a group of lions looking at a large flock of fat sheep.
And the strangest one was the leader of the barbarians, Little Stephen’s uncle, Sven, known as God’s Warrior. This guy wasn’t naked like the other barbarians but wore a set of exquisite green Battle Armor and held a wave-shaped two-handed Heavy Sword in his hand. This guy’s figure was terrifying, standing at least 2.4 meters tall. On his bronze-colored face was a very resolute expression, but he looked very rigid, probably not very smart.
Under everyone’s gaze, soon, these people arrived at an open space on the outskirts. The two sides automatically separated into two sides, arrayed about tens of meters apart. Then God’s Warrior Sven swaggered out to the middle alone, while on the opposite side, about 30 leaders of various sizes swarmed up. Obviously, this was a bit inappropriate, but the people on the barbarian side clearly had great confidence in Sven, just mocking from behind and not going over to help.
Facing dozens of people opposite him alone, Sven didn’t show any fear at all. Instead, he arrogantly said, “You little bastards, you~”
God’s Warrior Sven obviously planned to follow the popular rules on the Continent, first exchanging insults with the other side to explain the reason, and if they couldn’t agree, then everyone would have a fair fight.
I have to say, this barbarian was obviously a typical brainless guy! You have to know, the guys he was facing were not famous nobles on the Continent, but a group of cruel pirates whose goal was to kill and loot! In the eyes of pirates, what warrior’s honor, it’s all bullshit, only killing the opponent is the most important thing.
So God’s Warrior Sven had just opened his mouth and hadn’t finished speaking when the pirates opposite directly attacked. They were quite professional, not saying a word of nonsense. The Mages in the back came up and threw a bunch of Spells directly over. There were various negative Spells like slowing, poisoning, weakening, as well as direct attack Spells like fireballs and ice arrows. They saw a large patch of red and green Spells bombarding them, directly hitting the second half of Sven’s sentence back into his stomach.
At the same time, those ten or so Warriors didn’t stay idle either, swarming up in two batches to take turns charging. Several red Battle Qi Slashes wrapped in flames and fiercely hacked towards Sven.
Seeing this, Sven almost died of anger on the spot from this group of guys who didn’t follow the rules. But now that they had already attacked, there was no chance to say any more nonsense, so he could only helplessly choose to fight. Fortunately, Sven was a Sword Saint after all, with super strength. He directly burst out his thick Battle Qi to protect his body, while extremely awkwardly rolling fiercely to one side.
After all, those attacks were released by at least Level 5 Experts, and among them, 8 or 9 were Level 6 Experts. Even if Sven was a Sword Saint, he didn’t dare to take them all head-on; that would definitely result in a big loss. So he could only dodge in such a face-losing way by rolling. However, although Sven dodged most of the attacks, he was still hit a few times, especially by those negative Spells, which hit him solidly. So, after Sven stood up again, not only did he have several sword marks on his body, but he was also afflicted with slowing, severe poison, and weakening spells. For a moment, Sven felt his whole body go soft, and his mind became a bit groggy.
A majestic Sword Saint, as soon as they met, was forced to roll around; Sven was immediately furious. Ignoring the injuries on his body and the influence of the negative Spells, he roared and charged directly at the enemy face-to-face. The big sword in his hand fiercely hacked out several silver-white Battle Qi Slashes. The guys opposite knew their strength was not as good as Sven’s, so no one took it head-on. They all dodged one after another and then started fighting while moving. A dozen Warriors surrounded him, always intending to attack Sven’s back, making Sven unable to attack one person with all his might, thus greatly constraining Sven’s movements. The Mages on the outside kept bombarding with various Spells from a distance. Under the protection of the Warriors, they were very safe and could attack recklessly.
Of course, seeing Sven suddenly attacked by so many people, those barbarians couldn’t just watch either. They immediately roared in anger and charged forward, while the pirate army on the other side also pounced over. Thus, a big brawl unfolded like this.
The two sides started fighting so easily, greatly surprising the people present. Old Xie couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Do people here fight so readily?”
“Yes, people here are very barbaric, especially those pirates. They rarely talk nonsense, and when they fight, they mainly use sneak attacks and are very ruthless. It’s not like on our Continent where there is some restraint. Pirates usually strike to kill!” Deislay said with lingering fear.
“Hehe, not bad, I like it!” Old Xie said with a smile. Obviously, this straightforward way of fighting suited his taste.
Then, Old Xie suddenly discovered that the fighting power of those barbarians on the battlefield was surprisingly fierce. They were all experts overflowing with Battle Qi. Whether it was the wooden clubs or beast bones in their hands, under the infusion of Battle Qi, they displayed amazing fighting power. The pirates opposite couldn’t stop this group of barbarian warriors with super strength and fierce Battle Qi. They were beaten crying for their parents, with heavy casualties. Although they had numbers, they still had to retreat step by step.
It was at this time that Old Xie and the others discovered a strange thing. That was, after the battle started, white Auras appeared under the feet of those barbarian warriors. Although they were inconspicuous, the effect was amazing, because these Auras provided the barbarian warriors with extremely powerful defense, so much so that ordinary pirate attacks couldn’t break the barbarians’ naked skin. Only attacks infused with Battle Qi would have an effect, but the power was also greatly reduced. Old Xie estimated that the defense provided by just this Aura could actually compare to a decent metal chain armor.
