Chapter 7: Ambush
The group marched from the port through the main street of the main city of Jianshi Port into the old town, and the streets in front began to narrow, and the streets and alleys led in all directions, full of traders and travelers.
Carlos lowered his head and had a conversation with Koman, Augusta led his recruited squires to open the way in front, and Grant and the trainee knights followed slowly on horseback.
Du Buyi didn't know where it was, everyone was used to always not seeing the alchemy teacher of Young Master Carlos.
The old town is a densely populated area, and the streets are so noisy that it is obviously impossible to see the surrounding situation, but unconsciously, Augusta, who was walking in front, raised his head in shock.
Also aware of the anomaly was Carlos.
Three masked men in black suddenly appeared, and beside him, an assassin disguised as a trader, turned around and raised his flickering sword and stabbed at him.
Carlos subconsciously lowered his head to dodge the first man's long sword, and soon the second sword was close at hand.
The knight behind him noticed this, jerked his horse's buttocks, raised his spear, and blocked it for him.
Then Augusta's squires, who were well trained to hold their shields, retreated their swords behind them, and then took small steps back until they completely protected Carlos behind him with three shields.
However, the sneak attack obviously did not end so easily, and after the assassin dressed as a city vendor was dealt with, the other party quickly showed his true strength.
Five black-armored and black-helmeted steel-armored knights appeared in front of the road, completely blocking the small street in parallel.
The surrounding residents knew what was going on, and they rioted, and they became like headless flies, looking for a place to hide from danger.
Augusta looked coldly at the solemn knight opposite.
"It's from the Black Knights, you protect Master Stevenson, and the others follow me. ”
The Black Armor Knights is a mercenary knight group with good strength, known for its outstanding individual riding strength, I heard that the knights in the Black Armor Knights are all regular knights who have been enshrined in the past, and their strength is undoubted.
Carlos' lips were pursed, and his eyes were staring directly at each other.
He was not very worried about the front, with Augusta's commander-level strength, it would not be too much of a problem to deal with five heavily armed knights.
Carlos was more worried about the side panels that seemed to have no other enemies, and behind the high and low earthen houses, there seemed to be something more dangerous.
Even under the protection of the shield, Carlos could still feel it.
It's too late to remind.
I saw the five black-armored knights in front of them raising their spears in their right hands, and the 3-meter-long carbine was raised vertically in their hands, pouring and rushing from the small slope dozens of meters away, the carbine flashed with a deadly metallic luster, and rushed forward.
Although it is only five people, but the neat and consistent movements, the sound of the horse's hooves falling to the ground seems to be the same, after the snow melts on the street, the mud left behind is flying under the horse's hooves, the other party seems to have learned the skills of joint impact, and the impact of synchronous adjustment brings not only huge lethality, but also huge psychological pressure.
The other squires of the Steam Guardian Augusta raised their shields and temporarily stood in front of him with two shielded lines, as if they wanted the hardtop knight to charge.
It's also the only option in the narrow streets.
The sound of horses' hooves approached, and when they were ten meters away, the spear held vertically by the black-armored knight was instantly stretched out.
There was no time to react, and the hearts of everyone present seemed to be violently impacted.
Boom! Boom!
The huge horse pistol easily tore through the first shield line of defense under the running sprint, and then the knight's war horse descended from the sky like a divine soldier, jumped up the horse's hooves and attacked the second line of defense.
The shield-raising attendant collapsed at the touch of a button.
Horses chirped and wailed at the front of the line.
Augusta stood still like an iron tower, he stood in the third line of defense, and struck the knight's horse wrapped in thick iron armor with a fist, and the horse roared, and the black-armored knight fell to the ground with a bang.
There was a battle ahead, and at the same time, a vision occurred.
The Cadet Knights, who were blocked at the back of the team, were also attacked, by a group of archers who had been ambushed.
In the midst of the arrows, several of the apprentice knights, who had no shields, were caught off guard and fell to the ground injured.
Carlos's trainee knight instructor, the dwarf McLean, cursed secretly, and hurriedly tore off the arm of a somewhat sluggish trainee knight beside him, dragged him off the war horse and shouted: "Dismount, dismount quickly, if you want to be a live target, you can't do it...... In a group of five, close to the archers to break through!"
Before Carlos could react, he hid in the shield, and through the gap in the shield, he seemed to see a flash of green light, and then he only felt bursts of brilliant brilliance flashing.
He looked up, and the dense magic ball was just above his head, smashing down.
"Swarm magic!" someone shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The intimidating and destructive power of aggressive crowd magic is obvious.
A green ball of light smashed into the team, and one of the midshipmen was the lucky one to hit the arm, and Carlos saw that his arm's armor was hit by magic, and it quickly melted, and the green ball of light corroded the armor into a puddle of green liquid.
The apprentice knight screamed, his arm completely ruined.
The enemy was prepared, the ambush was premeditated, Carlos had a thought of ten thousand words flashing through his mind, and then quickly looked around in the howling crowd.
Also looking around was Old Mafu Grant, and soon both the master and servant spotted a black mage in a gray robe chanting at the same time.
Grant took the lead, and Carlos didn't want to sit still, so he followed.
Fortunately, they were in the center of the group, and there were still a lot of gaps around them, and the two of them dodged the smashed green magic ball while looking for space to quickly move towards the man.
At this time, the team battle is in a state of stalemate.
At the front of the team, the steam guardian Augusta and his son Koman, and the well-armed black-armored knights fought each other in a narrow space, resisting each other and stalemate.
The Cadet Knights in the rear, under the command of the dwarf Maclean, had just stabilized their position from the sneak attack of the archers, and began to group up to fight those archers in close quarters.
However, under the cover of the magic of the enemy's dark mage group, it is still at a disadvantage.
The man who prepared the ambush came for Carlos, apparently at the expense of it.
Carlos and Grant quickly broke out of the group, closing in on the dark magicians singing on the rooftops of the dirt houses from the streets and alleys.
Grant's triangular assassination dagger was already sticking out of its cuffs, and in a few more steps, he could get close to the gray-robed magician.
The old groom stared at his prey, ready to take a breath.
The black mage suddenly turned around, gave Carlos a strange smile to the two masters, and then stopped chanting and put the cloak back on his back, as if trying to escape.
Before he had time to think about it, the old groom had already rushed to him, and the dagger was stretched out and stabbed directly at the black magician.
