First Entry into the Continent Chapter Ninety-Seven: Pursuit

Leaving the core of the Thornlands, the three horses jogged on the lonely path to save the horses' strength.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Ariel in her arms suddenly turned her head and looked at Ayton playfully.

"Thinking about the two of them, they really help us, and it seems that we can have a deeper relationship"

"What do you want the two of them to do, what's the matter" Ariel obviously didn't care about the life and death of the two of them.

Ayton was also helpless about this, and years of living in the dark caverns had made her extremely cold towards others.

"You, don't say that in front of anyone, they have helped us stop the enemy's pursuit," Ayton told her with a flick of her nose.

This kind of ideological cognitive paranoia, he only hopes that it can be slowly corrected through a normal life on the ground in the future.

"Oh" Ariel touched her nose disapprovingly, and whispered, "By the way, brother, I told Lan Coco about that."

"yes, I see," Ayton smiled and nodded.

Lan Keke in front of him turned his head to look at the two of them suspiciously: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, pay more attention to the situation around you, they may set up an ambush ahead" Ayton waved his hand, "How does this ride feel?"

"It's okay, but it's a bit different from the horse I used to ride in the palace."

"Let's compete, then," Ariel grabbed the reins from Ayton's hand.

Lan Coco's willow eyebrows bent, and she smiled: "Okay", she knew that Ariel hadn't ridden a horse a few times, and the two of them had asked her how to ride a horse when she came out of Black Rock City, so she was confident in this regard.

"Illuria, Trebes, let's hurry up and get rid of the back door as soon as possible," Ayton whispered to the two elven girls next to him.

"But, the two of themβ€”" Iruli looked worried.

"The two of them are fifth-order powerhouses, even if the two hundred cavalry behind them come, they may not be able to keep them, don't worry"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, your life matters," Tribiss also reassured.

β€œ... Alright," Illuria nodded in agreement, and Tribith grabbed the reins and urged the horses to run, and the three horses galloped all the way to the Asaha Mountains.

On the other side...

"Young master, you, you are finally here," said Nosma, lying on the ground, and seeing the arrival of the eldest son of the Marquis of Thorns, Simel Ford, the young master in his mouth, said in a trembling voice, tears almost welling up in his eyes.

"Nosma!?damn it, what the hell is going on?, what about that little princess" Simmel, dressed in a luxurious fiery red magic robe, gritted his teeth and looked at Nosma's miserable condition, one right hand was almost useless, and it seemed that he would have to return to his hometown in the future.

There were still about twenty excellent cavalrymen lying on the ground, and in the Land of Thorns, because of the surrounding mountains, the number of horses was very small, and they could only be purchased in the Emerald Plains to the west.

Every cavalry is the precious wealth of the lord, and twenty of them died in one fell swoop, how can this make him not feel distressed.

"My lord, there is a scuffle ahead, it seems that Gonell is leading the lord, and the battle is very fierce," a scout reported respectfully from the side.

"Young master, you can avenge us and your brothers!" Hearing the scout's report, Nosma instantly glared angrily, and his whole person was like a mad beast.

"Alright, I see" Simel took a deep breath and ordered two men to take care of Nosma, and then looked firmly in the direction of Goner, with a team of two hundred cavalry behind him, ready to go.

"All people, listen to my orders, get ready!" all the cavalry let out a neat cry, full of energy, at first glance it was the elite of the cavalry, this operation Thorn Marquis Funovic sent a total of two hundred and fifty elite cavalry, and now nearly one-fifth of them have been lost.

This filled his heart with anger and was about to be released. Who is it that is against them, against the whole land of thorns?

"Brave knights, charge!"

Two hundred cavalry rushed neatly towards the dense forest, although the number of cavalry was not tens of thousands, but in this official avenue, a torrent of steel that could not be ignored had formed.

"Grik, let's go," Ravel said as he unleashed the entanglement and pulled one of the horsemen off his horse again, turning to the blood-stained Glick in front of him. Just now, Gorrik has been fighting on the front line, attracting the attention of most knights for him, and his magic is fully played.

"Okay" Grek raised his shield to resist Gonell's attack, and quickly reflexively gave a sword to the knight who tried to sneak attack from the back, and the earthy yellow sword with the fifth-order battle spirit instantly broke through the knight's chest armor.

The companion died in front of him, and Gonell's eyes were torn: "Bastard, take your life"

He fought the tall man several times, but the opponent's defenses were so airtight that they couldn't break through at all.

"I don't want to spend it with you" Gorrik quickly retreated, Gonell just wanted to chase after him, as long as he entangled the other party and waited for the young master to come, he would definitely be able to keep them here forever.

But a large green vine suddenly grew on the ground, blocking his steps.

"Damn vines, damn magic" For the first time in his life, Gonell hated vines so much.

Greek turned over and kicked the horse hard: "Go"

"Leave it for me" Gonell picked up the longbow behind him, put on the arrow, and the fighting energy in his body worked, attached to the arrow, staring closely at Glick's back, and suddenly his eyes turned and fell on the butt of the horse he was riding, where his shield would definitely not be able to defend it.

Ravel, who was sharp-eyed and "careful", noticed Goener's small movements, and his hands condensed magic.

Several vines of the 'Teng Wall' weaved behind Gorrik, forming a thick wall to block this arrow for his warhorse, even if the arrow was accompanied by fighting energy, it could not penetrate the defensive magic condensed by the fifth-order archmage.

"Thank you," said the glad Glick couldn't help but look at Ravel.

"Wait, what's wrong with you?" Greek was horrified to find that Ravel had stuck an arrow in his back at some point, and it turned out that another knight with a bow and arrow had shot a dark arrow at him as he was converging the wall.

Even a fifth-order mage can be injured by ordinary arrows when he is defenseless.

Ravel endured the pain in his back and said, "I'm fine, get out of here first, their reinforcements will come soon"

Seeing that there was not much blood coming out of Ravel's back, it should have not hurt the vital point, but only pierced into the flesh, Glick knew that he could not delay again: "You go to the front, I will block the arrows behind"

The two men and their horses fled one after the other, and Gonell was unable to shoot a second arrow, and became angry on the spot, and after a while Simmel's cavalry galloped past him.

"Don't let them run away" Simmel's face showed a hint of gloom, he didn't know what the identities of those two people were, but one of them used wood magic, looked like a half-elf, it was estimated that he was an accomplice of the forest elves, according to the previous scout report, the little princess of Bright Blue was mixed with the forest elves for some reason.

If they succeed in reaching the Flower Language Forest, it is very likely that their Thorn Land will be hit from two sides, but if they can intercept that group of people, capture the forest elves, and blame the matter on Princess Yaolan, and deceive the friendship of the elven kingdom, so as to reverse the unfavorable situation, so this operation must be completed.

Dozens of sharp arrows shot out of the cavalry like locusts, iron arrows pointing at the two men.

Gorrik clenched his teeth, raised the huge shield in his left hand, and the fighting energy of his whole body was running wildly, gathering on the black shield, and the crystal nucleus light in the center of the shield continued to shine, as if it had accumulated energy.

Fifth-Order Combat Skill!'Vientiane Shield'

Grek let out a low snort, and in an instant, a series of phantoms, voids and realities appeared on the shield, and spread out like ripples of water, dazzling.

The Phantom Shield Wall was finally fixed at the number of nine, and the arrows that were guarding them were dead to death, and the arrows on them could only make a clanging sound, which was useless.

But this is not a long-term solution, and if you can't get rid of this group of cavalry, Greek's fighting energy reserves will be unable to hold on sooner or later.

Seeing this scene, Ravel forcibly condensed the last strength in his body and slowly drew a pentagram in the air.

Fifth Order Magic!'Plex Seal Lock'

In an instant, countless vines shot out from nowhere, forming one blockade after another behind the two of them.

"Don't be afraid, rush over" As a fifth-order warrior, Ma Difen took the lead and rushed to the front, he had to make up for the defeat he had committed in the Pingxi Mountain Range before, but he couldn't figure it out, he knew the strength of the undead dragon best, and a few people on the other side could actually hunt the undead dragon, it must be through some means.

At this time, he didn't know that his previous battles were all watched by Ayton and them, and Ayton and they didn't have any intention of saving them at that time.

"Qinggang Chop" cyan fighting spirit attached to the knight's long sword, quickly and accurately slashed on the rattan, but to Ma Difen's great horror, the rattan was pulled out by the long sword for a long time, as the power subsided, the rattan rebounded like a rubber band, if it wasn't for Ma Difen's fast dodge, the whole person would have fallen off the horse.

The full force of the fifth-order warrior couldn't break through this small vine, and there were bursts of knights' screams next to it.

Madifen fixed his eyes, and it turned out that there were barbs growing on the vines, and there was a chill in the sunlight shining through the dense forest. It was this wound that his knight had been wounded by it, and it was difficult to pull it out.

"Burst Fireball"!

Fourth-Order Magic Burst Fireballs flew past him, and with a popping sound, large swaths of rattans burned to ashes, but more rattans condensed.

That's the magic of the young master, Simmel Ford, who is a fourth-order fire-based magician who uses fire-based magic to break wood-based magic.

"Young master, what should I do?"

Simmel's face was ugly, his magic was not as effective as he had imagined, and the two men were about to leave his vision.

"Keep attacking this vine, he won't last long" Simel gritted his teeth and said, "You must not let them run away!"

The knights obeyed the order, ignoring the barbs on the vines, and drove the horses into the locks.

On the other side, Ravel's face was as pale as paper.

"Hey, are you alright?" said Gorrik, frowning, looking at him worriedly.

"I, ahem, it's okay" Ravel forced his composure, but there was another sudden cough, and the whole person seemed to lose all his strength, fell off the horse, and lost consciousness with a thud.

"Hey, what's wrong with you" Grek quickly dismounted and helped the half-elf. At the same time, he heard the pursuers behind him shouting excitedly, "This damn vine has stopped growing, everyone work hard!"

Glick gritted his teeth, helped Ravel to sit on his horse, and couldn't help but complain: "It's really bad luck for me to meet you, and if I don't make it, I will really lose my life."

"No, you can't run in their direction," thought Greck, driving the horses south. Their target is the elven girl, if they run to the east, they will definitely be caught, and there is a glimmer of hope if they run separately to the south.

After a while, the cavalry finally broke the lock of the cong seal, and Ma Difen said in a low voice: "Young master, they are running south, and their purpose should be in the Flower Language Forest in the east."

"Young master, that little princess and the forest elf are indeed running in the direction of the Asahi Mountains to the east, I can see it clearly" Gonell rode to the young master Simael's side.

Simel pondered for a while, and said, "Gonell, you take twenty men to chase those two people, they are already at the end of the crossbow, and they can't run far. The rest of the people continue to capture the little princess and the forest elves."

"Yes, young master" Gonell quickly ordered more than twenty cavalry, and chased in the direction of Glick and the two.

Simmel turned around and looked at the remaining cavalry troops, and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, wealth and nobility are here, once our cause is successful, you will all be the founding heroes, and there will be no less fiefs and titles."

"Obey, for the Kingdom of Thorns!" Everyone has an extremely high desire for power and status, especially these knights born from civilians, the Bright Blue Kingdom has not had a war for a long time, and naturally there are few changes in positions, and this time, it is their only chance, and everyone is full of morale.

"Brave knights of the Ford family, go!"

Nearly 200 cavalry rushed to the east.
