Chapter VII: Discovery
A squad of cavalry came in the dust. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he saw the movement behind him, Phil immediately regretted that he had quickened his horse, but it was not too late, he immediately drove his horse to the side of the road, slowed down, and finally mingled with the hired grooms.
The cavalry behind was very fast, running on the road with a rumbling sound.
The cavalry caught up in the blink of an eye, and did not stop when they passed Phil, but one of the men in front shouted "Look at them", and then seven or eight horsemen broke out of the group and ran around Phil's group of horsemen, and surrounded them.
Coincidentally, these cavalry were the Xuanjia cavalry.
Well-equipped and disciplined, it's by no means as bad as Seth says it is.
It seems that it is not just as simple as smuggling goods.
The ability to dispatch the Xuanjia Rider can only show that this matter is related to the royal family.
Ahead, seeing the Xuanjia cavalry catching up, the caravan immediately and decisively left several carriages to block the road, and the Xuanjia cavalry split into two and chased from both sides of the road.
When they returned to the road again, the caravan had already left a dozen people with various weapons behind, and then dropped the carriage all the way, hoping to stop the Xuanjia Cavalry for a while.
However, the Xuanjia cavalry is worthy of being the cavalry that spends the most military money in the Austin Kingdom, and only a few cavalry are left behind, which is enough to deal with the dozen or so broken death squads. The rest of the people ignored the carriages on the road and pursued them directly from the side of the road.
In the end, the caravan was left with only a dozen men to escort the last wagon, but it was also immediately chased and surrounded.
It is not surprising that the caravanserais' horses were all horses capable of long journeys in order to conceal people's eyes, and they lacked speed in speed. The horses ridden by Xuanjia are selected from the country's excellent horses, which can be called one in a million.
Just then, Phil saw the rough man, Howard, smash the roof of the carriage with a single sword, and then pull a man out of the carriage.
Howard was tall in stature, and the man seemed to have been drugged, and there was no resistance at all in his hands.
Seeing that person appear in Howard's hand, the surrounding Xuanjia Rider immediately became nervous.
And Phil was also surprised, that person, he had seen, was the last sixteenth prince to appear at Jakes' wedding!
It turned out that they had held the Sixteen Princes of the Atlantan Empire hostage, and Phil wondered what they had done to attract so many Xuanjia riders.
Phil couldn't help but smile bitterly, just wanted to go out of the country, but he was actually encountered by this kind of thing, which was really unlucky.
But now, it's time to think about yourself.
If Howard and the others win, it's fine, but if they lose, they will definitely not be able to escape.
Will Howard succeed in holding the Sixteen Princes hostage?
Phil felt that things were not so simple, as a prince who had fought in the palace of the capital of the Atlantan Empire for more than ten years, and could still play around peacefully, and he was also a genius in ten thousand, a formal knight who was only fifteen years old, if he was simply taken hostage, it would be too much to underestimate him.
Sure enough, I don't know what the Sixteenth Prince did, Howard suddenly fell to the ground from his horse in great pain, and the Sixteenth Prince rode back to the middle of the Xuanjia Rider slowly.
Then an order was given, and blood flickered everywhere.
This kidnapping case, which was enough to sensational the entire Austin Kingdom, came to an end.
And the kingdom of Austin only lost a few careless cavalry.
"The strategy is good, but the strength is too bad. The Sixteen Princes commented lightly.
"The prince was frightened. The captain of the Xuanjia Cavalry stepped forward.
"It's okay, talk about it. However...... "The Sixteenth Prince suddenly looked into the carriage hired by the caravan behind," there was still one thing that had not been resolved. ”
It's been discovered!
Phil saw the sight of the Sixteenth Prince, and although he didn't hear anything, he immediately knew that he was exposed. Before he had time to think about it, Phil untied the yoke on his horse, drew his cross sword from under the car, and carried the package he had always prepared.
One stepped forward, mounted his horse and rushed towards the nearest Xuanjia horse!
The Xuanjia rider was too close, and Phil only reacted when he rushed in front of him, and he didn't even have time to scream, and hurriedly resisted with his sword.
Phil squinted, ready for a long time.
"Estimate the opponent's physical fitness:
Power: 1.6
Dexterity: 1.4
Physique: 1.5, the right hand is two millimeters larger than the left hand, used to using a heavy sword, the left part of the opponent's body moves slightly slower than the right part, and it is estimated that the left chest has been injured. ”
The cactus accurately reports the situation of the opponent, but it is just a reserve knight, Phil is not absolutely able to stop the opponent, but he also has to save time.
Phil Underwood (Official Knight):
Power: 2.6 (2.7)
Dexterity: 2.9 (3.0)
Constitution: 3.0 (3.0). ”
This is Phil's current situation, the endless mountains and forests are indeed his treasures, and he has improved a lot during this time, although he has developed resistance to some animals and plants, but there are still many undiscovered in the mountains and forests, and Phil believes that he can be stronger.
Phil raised his sword, only a little faster than the Xuanjia rider, flashed under the opponent's sword, smoothly plunged into the opponent's left chest, and then knocked the opponent off his horse.
Phil still had room to look to the side, and another Xuanjia rode over.
"Detect that the host is in battle, BATTLEMODE is on!"
Phil, who was about to flee to the nearby mountain forest, was stunned, but was chased by the Xuanjia horseman.
What's going on with this battle mode? Why has it never appeared before? The chip introduction on the Earth Population Administration's official website doesn't say that the chip will have a battle mode?
"Raise your sword and stab it forty-five degrees backwards. The cold voice of the cactus chip sounded.
Although he can easily solve the other party, Phil feels that choosing to believe in chips may have additional gains.
As soon as the chip's voice fell, Phil immediately raised his sword as he said.
"Poof!"
The sound of a sharp sword piercing into a gap in armor.
At this time, Phil didn't even look back, so it was so simple to solve? Phil was originally ready to dodge, but now he didn't need it, and when he turned around, the cross sword went straight into his heart, and the Xuanjia rider also died with shock and inexplicability.
Phil drew his sword back, wasted no time, and ran towards the mountains and forests beside the road.
The Xuanjia cavalry, who was chasing the caravan just now, are now mostly chasing Phil.
The road is still a little far from the mountains and forests, and several Xuanjia riders caught up during the period, but because of the inadequacy of the situation, coupled with the combat mode assistance of the cactus chip, there is no threat to Phil.
In a few moments, Phil fled into the woods.
The Sixteenth Prince drove his horse forward, and a group of Xuanjia riders followed him.
"Search!" the Sixteenth Prince stared in the direction Phil left, "If you let him run away again, there is no need for your Xuanjia Rider to exist." ”
"Yes!" said the captain of the Xuanjia Cavalry, who was following behind the Sixteenth Prince, immediately.
This time, he listened to the orders of King Austin and was responsible for all the security issues of the Sixteen Princes in the Austin Kingdom, but there was a kidnapping, although it was intentional by the Sixteen Princes, but he could not escape the blame.
"Also, send someone to inform my father that the Aldor Empire is trying to send someone to kidnap me, and it's better to get them to pay some price. The sixteenth prince turned his head and said, "The first point is to be optimistic about their border line, don't let this kid escape!"
He then issued several more orders, which were given to the lord of Lopis City and the general of the garrison, all of whom asked for help in capturing Phil.
"Mr. Morpheus. The sixteenth prince said suddenly.
A person in the Xuanjia rode forward in response, took off the black armor, and only a white power suit remained, and an elegant middle-aged man appeared so plainly.
The surrounding Xuanjia riders all exclaimed in low voices, because even they didn't know how this person got in.
"Young Master. "Morpheus is the maiden family of the mother of the sixteenth prince, and he has specially arranged to assist the sixteenth prince, so he has always called the sixteenth prince the young master.
"Mr. Morpheus, you're going to help me, aren't you?" said the Sixteenth Prince, who had always been very respectful to Morpheus.
"Young Master, my mission is to protect you. "You've been wayward once before." ”
"No, I'm not willful, Mr. Morpheus," the Sixteenth Prince turned to look at the woods where Phil had hidden, "this time it's different, he's lived in my hands for a year. I had a hunch that he wouldn't die so easily. ”
"What are you going to ask me to do when your life is safe?"
"Kill him, kill Phil!" said the Sixteenth Prince angrily, "Otherwise, he will be a big problem for me - no, a big problem for the Empire!"
Morpheus looked at the Sixteenth Prince, not knowing what to say. It was the first time he had seen the Sixteen Princes be so afraid of a person.
But Morpheus still chooses to trust his judgment and will definitely do it the next time he meets Phil.
Phil had no idea what the Sixteen Princes thought of him, and he didn't understand why an incomparably noble prince of a great empire would be so desperate to kill him, the son of a small duke in an ordinary kingdom.
He's on the run anyway.
He had noticed before that this time the Xuanjia Riders were all elites, all of them were reserve knights or above, and the number of official knights was definitely quite a lot.
Although Phil believed that after improving his strength, he would definitely be able to deal with the siege of two or three official knights, but he would definitely not be able to deal with an entire Xuanjia cavalry team.
After entering the forest, he had already abandoned the horse, and after months of hunting in the forest, the forest had become his home turf.
The voice of the Xuanjia rider behind him became quieter and quieter, and Phil quickly went deep into the mountain forest like a beast that had lived in this mountain forest for a long time.
Phil knew that he could not escape in the direction of the Austin Kingdom now, and that the only hope for survival was to cross the borders of the Aldo Empire.
But......
Phil was faintly worried that the Sixteenth Prince would definitely threaten him with the kidnapping of people from the Aldo Empire, and asked the Aldo Empire to seal the border.
By that time, Phil was almost at odds with two vast empires.
"It's really exciting to think about. Phil stood at the top of a tall tree and looked out over the vast forest.
