Chapter 32: The Dire Rider
Just as William accepted his cousin's advice and wrestled ♂ with the knights, the black-armored knights, who had fled to the south, finally met reinforcements - Jessica, who was on her way to the north.
"Eugene, why are you here?" Jessica stopped the black horse and looked at the crumbling black-armored knight in confusion.
Eugene is one of the strongest knights she brought out this time, almost reaching the limit of a first-order knight, and she is only one step away from being a second-order heavy knight.
However, this capable subordinate was now leaning over the horse's back with a pale face, and the corners of his mouth and chest were full of vomited blood, and if he had not been holding the horse with both hands, it was estimated that he would soon fall off the horse.
The knight named Eugene put his arms around his horse's neck and gasped violently. "Master Jessica, we meet...... met the queen, but the people around her ...... Too...... It's too strong. ”
Jessica was stunned by the news, if I'm not mistaken, there are only four professionals around her, right? And only one of them is a second-order knight, how can this person bully you like this?
She endured it and didn't ask directly, but asked, "What about the others?"
"Others...... Still over there......"
Hearing this, Jessica's eyes shot a cold light, I see, I thought they were all wiped out when I saw you alone, it turned out that you were seriously injured and fled first.
Frowning and checking Eugene's injuries, the bones of his two arms are estimated to be cracked, the chest cavity is compressed, and the internal organs are also damaged to varying degrees, and he will definitely not be able to get up if he doesn't lie down for two months. Forget it, just run, it's a professional anyway, if you don't run, you'll probably die there.
"How many times did he beat you like this?"
"The subordinate just took a ...... A sword. ”
Jessica couldn't bear to say her evaluation, the second-order iron-walled knight is a bear, can't you fight around him, and he actually went up to take it hard, but it's also a second-order profession known for his strength, and it's good to be able to leave a life after being hit like this.
"Can you still move, and if you can still hold on, continue south, and rest in the grass near the road to the south, and in a moment I will go back to you after I have killed the queen." ”
"Subordinate...... Yes, sir. ”
Seeing that Master Jessica was about to move forward, Eugene remembered the figure who had eaten dozens of swords unharmed, and hurriedly shouted, "Lord Jessica!"
"Huh?"
"You be careful of the person on the other side, that second-order iron-walled knight has a lot of strength, and the man in silver armor, the armor on his body is particularly strong, we ...... Cough. ”
"Okay, I got it. Jessica waved her hand and disappeared into the shade with a flick of the reins.
The silver armor is the knight's armor of Fran I that was stolen, right? It is said that the material is quite strong and has not decayed for hundreds of years. I thought the woman would put on her own to save her life, but I didn't expect to give it to a man, it seems that she is really good to her little lover.
Eugene, who was holding the horse's neck, looked at Jessica's back and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
However, he thought about it carefully, Master Jessica was a third-order professional in the shadow sequence, even if the knight in silver armor was also a second-order, it was estimated that there was nothing he could do about her. With this ability to move through the shadows, even if something happens, Master Jessica should have no problem running if she wants to.
Well...... No problem!
Jessica, riding a black horse, galloped all the way, moving a few times in the shadows on the side of the road, and soon heard shouts of killing coming from ahead.
When she appeared nearby with a shadow shift, she found that the battle situation was completely different from what she had thought. The ground was almost entirely covered with the corpses of the black-armored knights, and less than ten of the fifty-strong squad were still struggling to support themselves.
Jessica's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she had seen, a team of fifty professionals beating thirty ordinary people, and they could be taken down by people with almost zero damage?
She suppressed the anger in her heart and calmly observed, and found that more than half of the thirty or so young knights should be professionals, at least not far from formal professionals.
Although it is not the same path as traditional knights, she can still distinguish the characteristics of knights after seeing more, these people will appear invisible white light on their bodies after being attacked, and they will bounce their opponents away when they completely block attacks with armor, these are all characteristics of knights.
Gritting her teeth in resentment, Jessica angrily admits that she had probably been deceived by the stupid king.
More than half of these knights will use the Glory Barrier, they are not ordinary people at all, and the people who were taken away by the queen are obviously elite knights, where did they come from There are only four professionals?
With a slap of the black horse under her crotch, Jessica disappeared into the shadow below her, and then instantly moved to the side of a knight, and the fist wrapped around the black shadow slammed fiercely.
"Bang!" William, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was struck by lightning and was thrown off his horse by a powerful force.
......
After joining forces with his cousin to kill those knights, the remaining black-armored knights were also retreating, and seeing that it would not be long before they were all wiped out, William stopped the battle and prepared to catch his breath.
As a result, a dark woman came out on a ghostly horse, raised her hand and ran towards the Adam's apple of a knight. Sensing that something was wrong, William tried to take cover and successfully blocked the punch for the knight, only to be pushed off his horse by the force of the impact.
Trouble.
The Guard's skill cover can block a lethal attack for an ally. However, with his own strength and physique, he couldn't completely block the power of that fist, and William immediately made a judgment, this woman was at least a third-order professional, and there was such a way of moving among third-order professionals......
"Hans!" Wilhelm's expressionless face twisted unusually. "Immediately run southeast with everyone!
??? bearded man was stunned for a moment, and ran, what happened?
"Cousin?"
"Run, throw your shield away, everyone lie on their horses, run!" William's face was still expressionless, but the bloodshot forehead and the bruises on his neck made everyone feel the tension of the situation.
"Pretty smart. The woman who suddenly appeared nodded appreciatively. "It's not too late. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she completely disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and this time everyone saw her movement clearly, and the black female knight seemed to have fallen into the mire, and even the people and horses fell directly into the shadows of the ground, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
William gritted his teeth, picked up the shield on the ground with a forward roll, and without hesitation, took one knee into a defensive position, and cast a cover skill against Avril Lavigne.
"Bang!"
The shield in William's hand sank suddenly, and a small fist mark was sunk into the iron sheet covering it, which became pitch black as if it had been stained with something, and the hardwood that was the main body of the shield was also smashed into debris and splashed.
"Hans! take the queen and run!
