Chapter 119: Night Attack (Part II)

The private knights brought by Donnie are armed with scimitars and short javelins.

This scimitar has an extremely short handle, just enough to grasp with one hand, and the blade is about a meter long, slender, thin, and meniscus-shaped, suitable for cavalry to slash immediately, and armor-piercing and long-range attacks rely on several short javelins equipped in the saddle.

However, they chose to continue to pursue the horse team that attacked Jacques at night, and the short javelin was basically abolished in the dark.

The private soldiers who rushed into the camp found that there was no one in the camp and hurriedly reported to the captain of the private soldiers, at this time, no matter how stupid the captain of the private soldiers was, he knew that something was wrong in the rear, and hurriedly called his subordinates to the team, planning to turn around and go back to rescue Master Donnie.

Otis finally ran to the edge of the camp, and two more of his men were struck by Lily's lightning and fell off their horses on the way. Otis was also hit by a lightning arrow, gritted his teeth to resist the electric shock, and almost fell off his horse.

The private army in front of him had already assembled, and Otis had just been wounded, and he shouted in pain, "They killed Master Donnie!" and then he turned his horse's head and walked around the edge of the line.

The captain of the private army also saw clearly that Otis was still chasing a group of people behind him at this time, and the nearest milky white tall horse was only a dozen meters away from them.

The captain hurriedly ordered the spear to be thrown, and the target, of course, was the nameless seven horsemen farther away.

Jacques flattened his spear and shouted, "Lily, Domain!"

Behind her, Lily still grabbed Jacques's waist with one hand, and cast a spell with the other hand, using the domain skill "Whirlwind Domain" in unison.

A strong wind rose from the ground, with the milky white war horse as the core, and the private soldiers in the double array were instantly enveloped by the whirlwind, the wind blew in the face, flying sand and stones, and their eyes couldn't be opened.

A private soldier reluctantly threw the short spear in his hand, and then went to draw the knife, his hand just touched the hilt, a white light penetrated the misty wind in front of him, appeared in front of him, and then the whole person was lifted out of the saddle and flew backwards, his hand grabbed forward, the milky white lance had passed through his chest, the private soldier used his only remaining strength to hold the lance, the lance body shook, and he lost consciousness when he hit something behind him.

Jacques threw away the lance that penetrated the two private soldiers, and found that it had passed through the opponent's array, and then there was a collision sound behind him, and the nameless seven horsemen crashed into the queue of private soldiers with the "phalanx", no one could stop it, whether it was the short spear thrown or the source energy technique that was hurriedly released, it was resisted by the flame spear of the "phalanx", and the flame spear easily penetrated the flesh and blood, and killed a small half of more than twenty private soldiers with a single impact.

The captain of the private army lost nearly half of his team in a single shot, and Otis said that Young Master Donnie had been killed, and he had no intention of fighting, so he took the lead and fled south.

The remaining five mercenaries of the Jacques horse team couldn't stop the retreating private soldiers, and waited until Jacques and Nameless and the others turned around and came back, and then followed them to pursue the fleeing dozen horsemen.

By this time the group had forgotten to pursue Otis, and he and his only escaped men rushed to the river, and when they turned back to find that their private troops had been defeated, the two of them hurriedly turned and fled eastward.

Jacques' horses were fast, and they quickly caught up with the lagging privates, and then Lily struck them down with lightning arrows or wind blades, while the mercenaries behind were all about mending their knives and gathering their horses.

The pursuit went out for more than ten miles, and it was not over until the last private soldier fell off his horse.

Then after tossing for two or three hours to gather all the corpses and horses, Jacques and the others found that this group of people was uniformly equipped, and it seemed that they were not those gang gangsters, until an entourage recognized that the insignia on their armor and cloak belonged to the Wharton family, and everyone knew who the opponent was.

An examination of the body did not find Otis, but Jacques and Nameless saw him appear with their own eyes, so it can only be said that this guy was too lucky to find a gap and escaped.

Everyone ignores a charred head, so Donnie Wharton, who is dressed in civilian clothes, is thought to be a gang gangster brought by Otis.

Regarding the appearance of the Wharton family's private soldiers here, everyone judged that it was a helper invited by Otis, and he was quick for a while, leaving no one alive, and the relationship between them could only be guessed.

The group returned to the camp and lay down in their clothes, rested until dawn, packed their bags and prepared to continue their journey.

At this time, the mercenaries discovered the horseshoe prints heading east by the river, and considering that Otis had been running for most of the night, Jacques gave up the pursuit and decided to change his plan and continue northward to leave the Wharton family's sphere of influence as soon as possible.

Only by changing the plan in this way, the horse team will enter an unsettled area - the Umatak Meadows. Walk through this area to reach the city of Betio, which is a must-pass before the Huerdo Pass.

After fighting overnight, I got ten war horses of alien beast blood, six ordinary horses, and armor weapons, etc., which was a small gain. The only two who were injured were injured when they fell off their horses during the night pursuit, and after receiving the treatment of the Source Energy Technique, they could ride horses and heal after two days.

But Jacques was not happy, the grudge with Otis was a completely avoidable conflict, and now he was involved in the power of the Wharton family, a big lord, it can be said that Nameless did not control the lower half of his body this time, which caused a lot of trouble for everyone.

Nameless felt guilty knowing that things were getting bigger and bigger, and coupled with the outstanding combat power shown by Jacques and Lily last night, he could only stick to Jacques's cold face at this time and follow him carefully, hoping that Jacques could dissipate his anger.

On the rest of the journey, whenever they met herders, Jacques and his party would exchange silver coins or armor scimitars with them for jerky and cheese to stock up on food for the rest of the journey.

After two days of marching north, the flocks of sheep and cattle were no longer visible, as well as the scattered herdsmen's yurts.

After not seeing the herders for half a day, Jacques inquired about his retinue, who were very familiar with the Papas steppe, and confirmed that the horse team had entered the northernmost part of the Pappas steppe, the Umatak Meadow.

However, the map and sextant in Jacques' hand indicated that they were still hundreds of miles away from the Umatak Meadows, and the location determined by the sextant could not be wrong, only that the map was slightly different.

The question that bothers Jacques and Fat Orange is, why are the charts very accurate at sea and inaccurate on the road?

Unfortunately, Jacques quickly forgot about this question, leaving Fat Orange and a cat to continue to think hard.

......

On the night of their escape, Otis and his horses died after a long run, and it took them four days to walk back to Hampton.

Otis thought all the way, thinking that this time he could escape, it was God's care, those outsiders had provoked the Wharton family, although Downey was not the heir, but he was Lord Wharton's favorite son, as long as he went back to report the news, Lord Wharton would send someone to avenge him.

Back in the Hamptons, Otis and his men rushed to the Wharton family's mansion in the Hamptons as soon as possible.

Arriving at the mansion, Otis found that it was heavily guarded, and Lord Wharton had come to the Hamptons himself.

Seeing Lord Wharton, Otis felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but he still said the words he had thought of on the road, without mentioning his grievances with the foreigners, and deduced that Downey had taken a fancy to the foreigner's woman and took someone to rob it, but he missed.

After listening to Otis's narration, Lord Wharton snapped his fingers, and the figure of the masked woman beside the lord flashed, and Otis felt a chill in his neck, and then blood gushed out, and his strength dissipated, and finally he fell still.

Dispose of Otis, Lord Wharton has recruited another person, it is Bock.

Seeing the corpse of Otis, Bock was overjoyed, but he quietly greeted An.

Lord Wharton seemed a little tired and said, "Thank you for telling me about Otis instigating my son, he has already paid the price, and no one can fool Wharton!"

Boke bowed happily and said, "Lord Lord, be aware of everything!"

"So, as the price of egging Otis, you should also go and accompany him, no one can fool Wharton. The snap of his fingers sounded again, and a few seconds later, a startled Bock collapsed in a pool of blood.

"Rita, go kill that team. Lord Wharton ordered.

"Yes!" the masked woman who had killed the two shapers in seconds disappeared into the room.
