Act 83 Ambush

readx(); Act 83 Ambush (first update, so stay tuned)

Entering the last days of autumn, late and early winter, Padel Pine is already in a state of depression. The trees are already bare, but the forest is like a monster with claws and teeth entrenched on both sides of the road.

The sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance, and the eleven knights parted through the white mist and broke into the silent morning.

In order to maintain speed, the riders kept their mounts running at a small pace, but did not gallop. There were still hundreds of miles to go from here to Luda, and they had to maintain their horsepower.

Except for the rider in the middle who was carrying a long black cloth package, everyone else was fully armed, with swords and cold-lighting crossbows occasionally emerging from under their long cloaks. The knights have been on high alert, looking around from time to time. The forest in early winter is cold and desolate, but there are still wolves in the forest.

The knights kept moving forward and soon came to a small river. The river at this time of year has not yet frozen, the water surface is sparkling and shining, and there is a deserted stone bridge on the bank - but at this time, the leading knight suddenly raised his hand in alarm, causing the others to stop.

The knights tightened their reins to stop their horses and looked around. The leading knight retracted his hand and gestured to the left and right sides - meaning someone was ambushing - then he turned his horse's head and pulled out his long sword from his waist.

The knights turned their horses' heads left and right, and immediately formed a circular formation with the escort as the center. Their uniform actions showed that these knights were well-trained. Even the scout cavalry in Eruin's general army could not reach this level.

But as the knights moved, there was a rustling sound in the forest. A group of noble private soldiers wearing leather armor immediately stood up in the bushes on both sides. These ambushers were all holding weapons-battle axes, Buckler or crossbow.

Obviously the ambushers realized that they were going to attack after they were discovered, but the knights were not slow to respond. They even took action before these ambushes. The knights in black took off the crossbows from their waists without hesitation and fired in all directions. Several ambushers were shot on their backs just as they rushed out of the bushes onto the road.

The knights had excellent archery skills. They constantly turned their horses and fired arrows in all directions. Many ambushers were shot in the throat and killed with one arrow, and the corpses even quickly formed a circle; but the Eruin cavalry used continuous fire to attack the enemy. The crossbow ammunition was limited, and the private soldiers seemed to know this. After five rounds of shooting, they all rushed out of the forest with a shout.

But the knights were not in a hurry. They lifted up their cloaks with their left hands, pulled out a handaxe from underneath with their right hands, and threw them forward. A scream resounded through the sky, causing many birds that were still dreaming to flap their wings. Flying from the surrounding woods.

The ambushers who were caught off guard instantly fell to the ground in the front row.

"Come on, they have no weapons."

"Don't give them a chance to wind up"

But the pungent smell of blood in the cold morning air would only excite these desperadoes. Some of the noble private soldiers shouted crazily - they had an absolute numerical advantage, almost ten times the opponent, even if they were to pile up lives, they would still be killed. Pile the opponent to death.

The knights' calm attack had angered these people, and the ambushers rushed forward wildly, trying to turn the battle into a meat-crushing melee.

Unfortunately, they found that things were not as they imagined.

The opponent was far more powerful than they imagined. The knights all drew their swords, and dramatic changes immediately occurred on the field. With the silver light of the sword flashing - white air currents crisscrossing one after another - they almost formed an airtight net for the ambushers who rashly moved forward to crash into it.

Then flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the remains of the body and limbs fell backwards, making it seem like a rain of blood fell on the heads of those behind.

Many of the ambushers were completely fooled. When they arranged the ambush in advance, they were told that their opponent was a group of kingdom cavalry. But no one told them that every knight in this team has the strength of Peak Silver.

At first, the noble private soldiers could still rely on inertia to rush forward towards the knights who were as cold as the god of death, but within a moment, the morale of these ragtag groups completely collapsed.

Before they could get close, their own side had lost nearly a third of its people. As soon as their heated heads cooled down, these noble private soldiers realized how terrifying the other party was. Without any further reminder, they fled in a hurry - even running away faster than when they came, at least twice as fast -

The battle ended quickly.

The leading knight stopped, took a deep breath of the bloody air, and raised his hand to stop his pursuit. Is this just the first ambush they have encountered along the way? The pursuit is meaningless, as there is no valuable target to catch, not to mention their own mission is the most important.

All the knights stopped. They checked Sakon, then lowered themselves and wiped their swords on the corpse to sheath them.

No one spoke during the whole process, only the sound of horses touching their noses——

The leading knight's gray eyes swept across the battlefield, and he looked at the corpses on the ground - there were no obvious signs on these noble private soldiers to show which side they belonged to, nor did they carry any banners. They were more like a gang. Bandits and robbers - but the robbers are not so well-trained.

Then he pulled down the mask of his cloak, revealing the thin and pale face of a middle-aged man. He glanced back. The rider they were escorting patted the long black package on his back to indicate safety, and then he also raised his head and pulled down his mask.

Revealing a young man's face.

To be precise, Brando also knows the owner of this face. His name is Test, Viscount Test. It's just that the Viscount's appearance has changed a bit. He has lost a lot of weight in the past month, and his complexion has become worse. A pair of pupils seem to be burning with lake-green flames.

"Safety."

If Brando were here, he would definitely be startled by the viscount's opening. His voice was hoarse and dry, as if someone had poked a hole in his throat. The young man sniffed, as if it took a lot of effort to say these words.

"Who are these people from?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at the corpses on the ground.

"People from Grand Duke Anlek." Test replied in a hoarse voice.

"Him?" The middle-aged man was slightly startled: "Isn't that old guy trying to show his favor to us?"

"Nobles are all duplicitous guys." Tester sniffed and replied: "You don't have to look at me, I am the same, so don't believe me, I will definitely stab you in the back if I have the chance. knife."

The middle-aged man smiled: "Interesting, but don't worry, I only trust my people."

"Huh," Tester didn't even look at the other person. He pulled up his mask and prepared to go on the road, but at this moment, the young viscount froze——

He saw a flash of green light in the forest, and his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

"Be careful behind you." Test immediately put down his mask and said to the middle-aged knight.

The leading knight immediately turned around, but a little too late, the green light hit his chest. The middle-aged man was astonished at what kind of sorcery this was, but his expression had been frozen at this moment forever. Test saw with his own eyes that the cavalry captain turned into a stone statue in front of him.

That guy is chasing me

The young Viscount's heart was beating wildly. He knew who was coming as soon as he saw this familiar scene. That nightmare-like memory is still tormenting him, but he didn't expect that the nightmare would turn into reality again at this moment. He almost wanted to run away at that moment, but his hands and feet seemed to have taken root, as if he was possessed by a demon. He remained motionless and refused to obey his orders.

Then he saw the monster covered with emerald green armor walking out of the jungle - all the knights were stunned. Of course they saw what happened to their captain, but such a weird attack method was beyond everyone's understanding. , they didn't react for a while - what should they do at this time.

Guard against each other? But it seems that no one dares to say that there is any better defense method against such a green light. When it comes to avenging the captain, no one can know the details of the other party.

The knights froze there for a moment.

But the Emerald Knight who came out of the forest obviously didn't appreciate their kindness. He walked over step by step, and his target was Test, who was guarded by all the knights in the center.

Faced with the knight's approaching step by step, the young viscount, who possessed the primary level of gold strength, found himself so frightened that he could not move. It was extremely difficult to even utter a single byte from his throat.

"you……"

He just squeezed out a word, and finally a knight couldn't bear it and took action against the Emerald Knight. But the other party just raised his hand to hold his long sword, and then the knight and his horse were thrown away together, hitting a black pine not far away, and then there was no sound again.

The hand of the Emerald Knight obviously shocked everyone, but it also made the knights react - the knights who were enemies but not friends all shouted low, and stabbed each other with the long swords in their hands - but the countless sword blades had not yet When he reached his body, he was blocked by a layer of light green light surrounding the Emerald Knight's body.

Top level magic armor.

Everyone's heart sank. The outer layer of top-level magic armor has powerful magic defense. This kind of protection can not only protect against ordinary magic attacks, but can even block physical attacks such as swords.

This kind of armor was only made in Eruin by the master of palace alchemy in a few pieces during the kingdom's most prosperous period. It is absolutely rare in number, but the people who can own it are certainly not simple.

The knights' hearts sank and they were guessing who the other party was. Unfortunately, they didn't realize that their time was running out. Test had no way to remind him, because these knights had already discovered that their swords—even magic swords—were turning to stone little by little.

This discovery scared them out of their wits, and they reacted quickly and immediately abandoned their swords, but it was of no use. In the end, these more than ten knights turned into stone statues standing still on the avenue.

Seeing this scene, Test felt that he was about to collapse, but in fact when the Emerald Knight slowly walked up to him, he found that he was not insane because of this - although he would have preferred it to be so, or simply This is just a dream.

The Emerald Knight came step by step under his horse, raised his head and stared at him, neither speaking nor attacking, just motionless.
