"Hey, hey... Gus, is this your boy?"

"...is...who..."

A dry and weak voice came from the bars of the cell. The cold voice still contained a hint of youthfulness unique to minors. Lance immediately confirmed that it was Gus who was inside. Without saying anything, Lance used the prepared words in advance.

Wrapping the iron fence in good clothes, he used his two-handed heavy sword to pry hard, and with two clanging sounds, the fence broke.

There was not much movement, and he probably wouldn't be discovered. Lance breathed a sigh of relief, and continued his efforts, breaking the remaining two ropes, throwing a rope in, and quickly pulled out a young boy, who was exactly what Lance wanted to rescue.

Object Gus.

"Lance...it's you!" Gus was a little surprised. He didn't expect that anyone would come to save him.

"Stop talking nonsense, eat something quickly, replenish some strength, and come with me!"

Gus's condition was much better than expected, with no missing arms or legs. Lance didn't say much and threw a sword, some dry food and water to him. Lance took some risks to save Gus.

Boy, if he didn't owe him a favor, he wouldn't bother to care about his life and death. Lance hates to owe anyone a favor!

The two of them avoided sentries all the way, and finally reached the city wall with the patrolling soldiers. At this moment, a warning sound suddenly sounded in the castle, many torches were lit, the city wall became noisy, and the light of human heads shook.

Lance made a prompt decision, pulled out his two-handed sword from behind, and rushed straight towards the city gate. There was a small team of eight people guarding the city gate, all holding stainless steel spears. They had been on alert when they heard the warning, but when they saw someone

, immediately pointed the gun at the place where the person came from, and asked questions at the same time.

"Who!?"

Lance didn't answer at all. He fired several flying knives without caring about whether they hit or not. They were just shooting them casually to divert attention.

Whoa-whoa-whoa-

Two of those soldiers were injured by flying knives, and they were stunned for a moment. Then they heard the whistling sound of an object spinning rapidly, and a black shadow came into their sight. Then they felt their bodies numb and the world was spinning.

But it was Lance who threw the big sword in his hand as a hidden weapon. The big sword, which was 1.56 meters long and weighed 60 to 70 kilograms, whirled like a boomerang. Five of the eight guards were immediately killed by the huge force. If

If it weren't for the protection of the armor, I'm afraid they would have been chopped into two pieces. Two of the remaining three were seriously injured. One was lucky enough to escape the sword, but he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground with a pool of water stains under his body.

.

Lance ran forward and ignored those people. He just took back his sword and rushed up the stone steps leading to the city gate building. He dodged two crossbow arrows and reached the top of the stone steps. The guard in the city gate building wanted to close the door.

However, Lance chopped the wooden door into pieces with a sword, and two people were hacked to death.

Rushing into the room, Lance swept his sword across and chopped off the head of the only remaining guard. Blood spurted out and splashed all over his face, hot and sticky. He casually wiped the blood on his face and wiped it on his clothes, and found that it was also

It's slimy and full of human blood.

"I'll guard the door. You go lower the suspension bridge and pull up the iron door." Lance said to Gus behind him, grabbed a body and walked quickly outside the door.

At this time, the supporting soldiers had arrived and were halfway up the stone steps. Lance smashed the body down. His strength was beyond ordinary people. Most of the soldiers on the stone steps were knocked down. However, the soldiers behind him quickly came back.

Rush up.

The remaining corpses were thrown out, and the soldiers could not get to the tower at all, but their numbers were increasing.

Without the body, Lance held his sword in both hands, took a stance, and calmly looked at the rushing soldiers.

When the big sword in his hand buzzed like a bee, and the soldiers were close at hand, Lance shouted and slashed quickly.

The blade cut through the air at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, making a whimpering sound like a woman crying. The blade did not cut anything, but an almost invisible air pattern flew up, crescent-shaped, and was more than two meters long.

Zhengla——!

There was a short and sharp sound of metal cutting. Almost all of the soldiers who rushed to the stone steps, including their armors, were cut in half. Their upper bodies maintained their previous postures and flew into the air together. Blood mixed with their internal organs and spewed out everywhere.

Splash, and then the horrified scream of death.

Magic Sword Skill——Wind Slash

Such a brutal and terrifying scene, the other soldiers behind were completely frightened and did not dare to step forward. They retreated in a large circle, leaving the dying soldiers wailing there. Lance was not in a daze, and then

Throw a homemade grenade.

boom--!

Homemade grenades are not very powerful and cannot cause much damage to soldiers wearing full body armor. The loud noise and thick smoke are enough to make those soldiers panic for a while.

Taking advantage of the time Lance bought, Gus had already lowered the city gate suspension bridge. The iron gate made of all iron weighed more than two thousand kilograms. Even if there was a winch pulley, it could save a lot of effort. After all, Gus was not very old.

Although his strength was great, it was also limited, and with injuries on his body, it was very difficult for one person to turn the winch.

The soldiers below were unable to rush to the tower. Lance immediately entered the room and turned the winch with Gus. He only heard the sound of the chain sliding and the winch spinning. Then, there was a burst of cheers and howls, and a large number of horses riding on them.

The mercenaries rushed into the city like wolves and tigers.

Naturally, the first ones encountered were the soldiers at the city gate. Most of them were hacked to death and injured in the blink of an eye. The rest fled into the city, and the upper floors of the city gate were now safe.

Lance let out a long breath and looked back, only to see Gus staring blankly at a bare bellweed in his hand and a small figure emitting a shimmering light.

To be precise, it was a little girl about the size of a thumb, but her condition was not very good. She lay motionless in Gus's hand, and the light on her body became weaker and weaker, and her body seemed to be dissipating.

"What is this?" Lance asked. This was the first time Lance had seen this kind of creature, and he couldn't help but be curious.

"Flower essence...?" Gus replied, in a very low mood, muttering to himself, "...Idiot, that's why the kid is always like this, regardless of the consequences, he does it first and then talks about it... and puts himself in it all.

What?"

"Secretary system."

Lance thought silently in his mind. In his field of vision, and then looking at Hua Jing's field of vision, a string of words appeared. It was not any words known to Lance, not even words in the general sense. It was indescribable, but Lance understood its meaning:

Flower Essence - a creature from the underworld with high analytical value. In view of the frequent death of the target, it is recommended to repair it.

"Show me, maybe I can save her."

Gus carefully handed the flower essence to Lance, with some expectations in his eyes.

Lance took the flower essence into his hand. At this moment, a mist-like fluorescence emerged from his palm. If you look closely, you can see a black "O"-shaped symbol in his palm.

Fluorescence was injected into the flower essence's body, and the flower essence's body immediately stabilized. At the same time, the words in Lance's eyes changed, and a progress bar appeared.

...The target life energy is missing, select the matching life energy, and the match is successful...The replacement of the life energy source begins...The replacement is completed. Due to the replacement of the life energy, the target undergoes unknown mutations. Further observation is recommended...The repair is completed and the analysis is completed.

After about a minute or so, the progress bar disappeared, indicating that the analysis was completed.

The flower essence was alive and well, but still in a coma, and Lance handed her back to Gus.

"How did you do that?" Gus asked, slightly stunned.

"Uh...it's just a little trick." Lance said casually.

Gus knew that Lance had always been mysterious, so he didn't ask any questions.

"Let's go and make a fortune!"

Lance said, this kid Gus was captured this time, and his whole body was searched cleanly. If he doesn't take this opportunity to make a fortune, he will have to live in poverty for a while. Lance can give him money directly, but with this

The boy's stubborn temper will definitely not accept it.

By the time dawn came, Lance and his mercenaries had already plundered the entire castle and killed all the pig-like city lord and his family.

During this period, another wave of rubbish knights came to take advantage of them. They pretended to be a righteous army and scolded the mercenaries for not obeying the rules. What they did was completely like thieves. In short, it was very stinky.

In fact, in this day and age, it is normal for mercenaries to act as thieves. Those knights will occasionally loot villages and so on. Everyone knows it, but pretends not to know.

After all, this knight group actually wanted to share the spoils and gain some military exploits. The problem was that the leading knight had a bad mouth, which made Lance very unhappy. The result... the result was that there was a pile of skinned flesh at the gate of the city.

's corpse.

In normal times, mercenaries have to follow the rules. Knights, nobles and the like generally cannot be killed and can be redeemed after the war. However, it is completely different when Lance leads the team. There are no mercenaries at all.

No worries, these evil deeds will be blamed on Lance anyway, adding to his evil reputation.

Lance doesn't care at all. As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't be itchy, and if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry about it. Is he still afraid of this little reputation? Now, Lance's reputation is too low to scare a child to stop crying. That is too low, and many nobles

When the master hears Lance's name, he will only crawl under the bed and tremble.

By the way, just five years ago, Lance was also a civilized man. He was a pure and kind person who had no intention of harming small animals such as frogs and birds. He felt guilty for a while. He was just in a daze, as if he had been hit by something.

When I woke up again, I was in a completely unfamiliar world.

This world is really bad. There are many princes, endless wars, plagues, famines, and robbers who may appear from the roadside at any time to kill people and steal your belongings. They want to eat your refugees... and so on.

For people in this world, death is as common as eating and drinking.

Lance had no time to complain or anything, the only thing he could do was to do his best to survive.

Originally, Lance planned to be an honest person, live a normal life, and try to integrate into the world. However, things in the world are unpredictable, and many things are beyond his control and are often unexpected. If you think about it carefully, all of this is accidental and inevitable.

As a visitor from another world, coming to a relatively backward world, a lot of backward knowledge is like a big killer in this world. Not to mention knowledge, just the way of thinking and thinking methods developed in the past can bring considerable benefits.

Advantages.

Of course, the premise is that he survived the initial stage. Lance succeeded. After wandering for several months, he learned the basic vocabulary and settled down in a village.

A few months later, Lance quickly became successful by making black gunpowder. Black gunpowder actually exists in the world, and the formula is not a secret. However, due to the proportional process, it is not as powerful as what Lance mastered.

Lance became rich and did not live alone. He taught the villagers how to make gunpowder and opened a workshop in the village. Thanks to the war, the demand for gunpowder was great, and the village quickly became wealthy.

Soon after, Lance also accumulated some wealth. Just when he was preparing to further develop and live peacefully, bad luck happened one after another.

First, the village was invaded by several thieves. Fortunately, Lance came up with a weapon like a grenade to fight off the thieves. The subsequent development of the matter proved that it was all the greedy nobles who were behind everything. They wanted to destroy the village.

The workshop was turned into private property. At first, he said that he wanted to take Lance as a retainer, but Lance naturally refused to let him be the current servant. After several attempts of coercion and inducement, he failed, and then he simply broke up and snatched it away by force.

Seeing these greedy and fat-minded guys closing in and taking away the fruits of his hard work, Lance blew up several nobles in a rage.

Lance was not from this world. He didn't care about being a noble or anything like that. He was confident that with the knowledge he had and the development of gunpowder weapons, he would sooner or later sweep these scum into the garbage heap of history if he worked hard.
To be continued...
