Section 19 Hunting (2)
Nights are long for sleepless people,
And tonight is especially long for Pedi!
As soon as the battle outside the fortress of Coron ended, it snowed like goose feathers, and after the cold wind howled, the imperial soldiers who were busy building barracks couldn't help but shiver,
Soon, driven by the cold, countless bonfires were generally raised in the various camps.
Two o'clock in the morning is about forty-five minutes,
Peddy led Sir Ike out of his makeshift tent, the cold weather made him tighten his thick cloak, he exhaled a breath of turbidity and said to the lieutenant who followed him closely, "Rest all the troops except for the necessary patrols, there will be no more war in this area for a while." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Have you sent a Blood Eagle to inform the military headquarters of our situation here?"
"You gave the order half an hour ago, and it has been dispatched. ”
"Oh, is it?" Pedy's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he was not because of the question just now, but because of the person Alfred, because Alfred obviously knew that he and Ser Ike had something to do, but there was no trace of the Viscount's intention of leaving,
So, Pedi thought for a moment and said, "If Count Cizer Devin of Turbuck Castle comes to me, let Lieutenant Andy receive me, and remember that I must not agree to anything until I return... You didn't finish the report just now, now go in and continue to report in front of Chief Andy!"
"Yes, sir. A hint of gloom flashed across Knight Jarfred's face, but it quickly became normal again.
Pedi didn't care what the lieutenant thought, and he glanced at Ike beside him and asked him to lead the way.
Seeing this, Sir Ike immediately stepped out to lead the way, but after taking two steps, he turned back to the side and said, "He is still very capable, you might as well take him with you." ”
"Who?"
"Your lieutenant, Knight Alfred, has been doing so hard these days in the hope of continuing to serve in the army!" Sir Ike whispered.
"Oh?" Pei Di was stunned, "I think, it's better to retire in your own manor than to fight on the battlefield, right?"
Sir Ike nodded and explained, "Of course, but Alfred is an honorary knight, he doesn't have his own estate and fiefdom, and he is nothing without the army!"
"Really?" Pedi was stunned, he had the files of his subordinates, but he didn't remember to look through them carefully, at this moment, he heard Sir Ike's words, and the weight of the knight of Alfred in Pedy's heart unconsciously increased a little, after all, the current honorary knight is more difficult to be canonized than the family knight, you know, the honorary knight is recognized by the military department and the entire empire.
Actually, Pedi didn't hate his lieutenant, and although Alfred sometimes liked to play tricks, his abilities had long outweighed his shortcomings.
"I'll think about it. Eventually, Pedi gave Sir Ike such an answer.
When Sir Ike heard this, his heart was also relieved, those words just now were said by Alfred who asked him for help, and he did not refuse, after all, the other party's arm was more or less severed because of his order.
"Did he ask you for intercession?" asked Pedi, who had taken two steps, suddenly.
"What, oh, you mean the Knight of Alfred?" Sir Ike didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he couldn't help but pause, "no, I just think I ought to help him, after all, his hand was broken by my orders." ”
When Pei Di heard this, he gave a soft 'en' and then stopped talking.
By the time the two of them said this, they had already walked out of the camp where the headquarters was located, and Pedi's personal guards did not follow him under his mandatory orders.
A few minutes later,
As the two of them walked to a low-lying quagmire, a few loud laughter reached Pedy's ears through the cold air.
"It's the Olich Knight of Turbuk Castle, the quintessential Twak leader. Sir Ike smiled and stared at a few knightly soldiers beside a campfire in the distance, "That's the Paladins that Dwak is leading for, and they're all good guys. ”
Suddenly, a very strange figure sounded, like a stone flowing into a calm river, but the real situation was the sound of Pedi's boots stepping into the mud and splashing ice water,
Very normal sounds and phenomena...
However, Pedy's face changed suddenly, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!" As soon as he spoke, he violently pushed away Sir Ike next to him,
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
The moment Sir Ike's body flew upside down due to Pedy's strong push, several strange slight sounds like icicles rubbing sounded,
The next moment, the muddy water under Pedi's feet suddenly became extremely white,
The original quagmire turned into a huge ice surface, and the reflection of several clusters of fire and Peidi's figure were clearly visible,
The holy power of Pei Di's whole body instinctively gathered together, and when he was about to lift his feet off the ice, one by one ice spikes with cold light suddenly rose from the ice and stabbed straight into Pei Di's entire lower body...
"Pounce..."
"When..."
"Bang..."
Several different voices rang out almost at the same time,
First, it was Pedi who was stabbed in the soft armor of his calf muscles, and most of the other attacks were crushed by the open power, just in time for Sir Ike's body to hit the ground, knocking down a newly built wooden shelf nearby.
"There's an Assassin!" shouted Sir Ike, propped his hands on the ground,
"Whoosh! At the same time as Sir Ike shouted, there was the whistling of several arrows piercing the air,
Pei Di snorted, his eyes turned golden in an instant, and the holy power around his body began to swell, and he withstood the severe pain in his right leg and pulled out, and the palm of his hand with a war hammer swept and smashed the ice spikes that attacked again,
Then, he raised the hammer in his right hand above his head, ignoring the ice spikes and arrows that stabbed him again...
"Boom!"
"Ding... Ding..."
After a loud bang, the ice and the thick ground nearby, centered on the hammer in Peidi's hand, cracked in all directions, and it looked as if the entire ground had been flipped upside down.
At the same time, an assassin in a gray bodysuit was thrown out of the ground, smashed to the point of bleeding, and was about to die.
And at the same time as Pedi's war hammer fell, two arrows actually passed through the 'Holy Shield Technique' formed by the holy power around Pedi, and directly nailed to the armor made of Pedi's stainless steel, but fortunately, only a faint scratch was drawn and was bounced off.
"It's a Demon Breaking Arrow!" Pei Di's palms unconsciously soaked into a cold sweat, secretly thinking that he was glad that he had put on the heavy armor.
At this time, the nearby soldiers and the paladin squad around the bonfire not far away reacted and came over with weapons to support.
The soldiers gathered around Pedi with their shields,
The members of the paladin squad saw several figures in the darkness, and the soldiers surrounded them in three ways.
"Sir, are you alright?" Ser Ike pushed away the soldiers around him and made his way to Pedy's side.
"A little injury, it's just a little painful, I haven't hurt so much since I was a child!" Pei Di lifted the visor of the helmet, revealing a dense cold sweat on his face,
"Uhh ”
Pedi nodded silently, quickly folded the soft cloth together, and bit down his mouth.
Sir Ike moved quickly, and just as Pedi was ready, he used both hands together and pulled out the ice spikes that pierced Pedy's calf muscles.
"Yes!" Pedi broke out in a cold sweat from the sudden pain, and then he felt a warm feeling in the wound, and he knew that it was Sir Ike using his holy power to heal him.
"I'll do it myself. Pedi stopped Sir Ike's healing, and the next moment, a purer holy power wrapped around his wounds,
After three seconds, the wound was gone.
"It's a strange feeling. Pedi said.
Sir Ike was also impressed, but he was impressed by the purity and strength of Pedy's holy power, "You're injured for the first time?"
"Do you think there was a chance in my previous life that hurt me?" said Pedy, feeling the strange feeling of the wound just getting back together, and at the same time commenting on his previous life as if mockingly.
Sir Ike was about to say something, but the Paladins returned.
"What about the Assassins?" asked Sir Ike.
"All dead, a total of three assassins, all of whom committed suicide after being surrounded by us. A young paladin replied as he removed his helmet.
"Pedy!Pedy!" was Andy's voice, and it was audible from the sound that he was running fast.
"Here. Pedi responded.
"Hey, I'll just say, how could an assassin kill you. The voice landed, and the person had already appeared in front of Pedi.
"This assassination is still full of thrills, if it were me, maybe it would already be a corpse. Sir Ike commented objectively,
"They've got demon-breaking arrows!" said Peedy, pointing to a silver-white arrow on the ground.
The Demon Breaking Arrow, which is made of Thur Silver and carved with at least a hundred kinds of rune magic, can break most of the energy spells, so it is called the Demon Breaking Arrow.
As Pedi's words landed, one of the closest paladins immediately walked over and picked up the arrow on the ground, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the small arrow, which was silver and white in the firelight, and the arrow was carved with a dense circle of tiny runes.
"It's indeed a demon-breaking arrow, this kind of thing is almost non-existent to ordinary assassins, even if it's a member of the 'Brotherhood', it won't be used in a simple assassination!"
"It seems that we have not even started hunting, and we have been targeted by prey first!" Pei Di laughed, and then suddenly smiled, and said to his cousin: "Organize people immediately and check all the soldiers in the camp, I suspect that someone has infiltrated during the combat attrition of the troops." ”
"I'll arrange it right away... Be careful!" Andy was about to agree, but his face suddenly changed, and his right hand jerked towards Pedy's side,
And Pedy's gaze followed Andy's palm to his side,
A cold light,
And a dagger!
"Puff"
Steaming blood splattered on Pedy's face,
However, a green dagger pierced Andy's outstretched palm!
"Damn the rat!" Pedi stared, and his fist slammed into the dagger's owner's chest with holy power.
"Bang!" a soldier in Imperial armor flew upside down covered in blood, crashing into the other soldiers,
"Surround him, don't let him run away!" an officer gave an order,
"Protect the commander, quick!" There were other officers who gave different orders,
For a while, the whole scene was chaotic,
"Stand still!!, if you fuck move again, you'll be killed on the spot!" Sir Ike shouted as he lifted the soldier's corpse and screamed as he lifted the soldier's corpse and spun the hammer in his hand.
"It's elemental poison!" exclaimed a paladin as he looked at Andy's festering right hand.
"Chop off my right hand!" shouted Andy, his red eyes staring at his cousin.
