Chapter Seventy-Nine: Walk Up?
"My lord, if we continue like this, we will be wiped out!" the Iron Rider covered his face with his armarmor, "ahead...... And arrows coming!Is their ambush so long!?"
It was not just a matter of the length of the ambush route, the baron thought, but just now he glanced back and saw that a few dozen meters behind the line someone had run out of the room with a strangely shaped weapon and headed straight for the alley;
Looking ahead, a few people scurried out of the alley and into the houses.
The baron understood how the men had acted: as soon as the party was out of the ambush, they ran out quickly, then mounted their horses hidden in the alley, and rushed to the front of the group from another path to re-ambush them;
According to this style of play, the team will always be in a state of "ambush" until they arrive at the castle, and then refer to this too bad hit rate......
The baron felt that before he could reach the castle, the party would be dead and wounded.
No, there may have been a trap set up in the house, and rushing over may have killed you faster;
It's also unreliable to move into the alleys, where so many people can't move quickly, and it's even more dangerous when they encounter an ambush!
In that case, there is only one way......
"All the army, listen to me!" cried the baron,
"Evacuate out of town - regroup queue ——!"
Of course, he did more than just give orders;
Before he could turn around, he violently pulled out the family flag that was behind him and in the saddle;
Then he tried all his strength to stick it into the saddle of the iron horse.
"Your Excellency...... What are you doing, my lord!?" Iron Knight was shocked by this action;
"I will remember your loyalty, Iron Rider!" said the baron, and before he could finish speaking, he was already riding out of the town and galloping out of town;
"Ah...... Ahhh——!h
Just shoot the guy with the flag!
Soon, the horses of the Iron Rider were knocked to the ground by a steady stream of arrows—neither the quality of the horses nor the protection of the armor, this one was inferior to the Baron's;
After being knocked to the ground, the knight did not take a few steps before a follow-up arrow pierced the weak spot of the armor and fell.
The whole team was now completely devoid of the arrogance of the first arrival, but retreated at full speed like a lamb being chased by a hungry wolf;
Baron Fang Duan, who was in charge of the ambush, and Stonefist pursued the victory, driving Baron Greywolf's team out of the town;
Along the way, Baron Grey Wolf left behind more than one hundred and fifty men—most of them were unprotected adventurers; forty percent of them were shot on the spot, and the rest were incapacitated;
The part that barely escaped from the town and reached the forest was now exhausted and panting from the rush.
The baron sorted out a little, and the most valuable cavalry was lost in half—horses were extremely easy targets for such arrows, but two or three of the lucky ones escaped after falling off their horses;
Some of the infantry were left behind, and the rest did not seem to have much strength to fight for the time being;
The situation of the adventurers was even more important for the baron: they suffered the heaviest casualties, and many of them were now groaning over their injuries or lamenting the death of their companions, which had lowered the overall morale to the extreme!
How could there be such a situation that would not have occurred in common sense at all? The baron couldn't figure it out - Baron Fang Dun had a few pounds and a few taels, he knew quite well, how could he have the financial resources to cultivate such a terrifying team of marksmen?
"Look, my lord, the pursuers of Maple Town!" shouted one of the horsemen in a frightened voice, pointing in the direction of the town's main road, and the people looked over there—
There, hundreds of people were marching in line towards this side, threatening to kill them all;
It doesn't seem like there's much time left to assemble the team. The baron sighed, in this situation, he could only retreat quickly in order to make a comeback in the future......
"Withdraw!" the baron clamped his legs between the horse's belly, ready to continue his flight into the distance;
The soldiers, who were originally so tired that they couldn't breathe, could only endure to keep up - after all, if they didn't hurry up, they would die!
How will the situation of the two sides change after this fiasco?, the baron frowned and fell on his horse's back in thought;
However, he couldn't get out of it far.
With a loud bang, flames and heat burst out from under the horses' hooves at the same time, and a strong wave of air tossed the baron and the horse to the ground with the same ease as a child playing with a building block, and the deafening roar made his head buzz!
Be...... It's a magic trap!
The baron forced himself to his feet, enduring the pain in his body, trying to halt the procession, but the situation of the group behind him was not much better;
A barrage of magic struck the team from the woods: icicles, fireballs, lightning, wind blades, all kinds of magic exploded on the ground, and the powerful power scared the already terrified soldiers completely unable to take a step!
"Soldiers of Black Mud Town!" the girl's voice resounded through the jungle;
The kind of funny tone that is obviously immature and bright but has to pretend to be old and serious should make people laugh in normal times;
But the soldiers couldn't laugh at all.
"You've fallen into the trap of Maple Town! Your escape route has been set up with a magic trap! If you're not afraid of being blown up into a roast pig, just go ahead and try it!"
The soldiers knew that this was not empty talk—the baron at the front had been blown off his horse and disgraced;
"Our magician has laid an ambush in the forest......! They deliberately missed it!" the girl continued to declare to the crowd, "I don't believe you—who was injured in the bombardment!?"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and nodded in amazement: as she said, not half of them were hit by the terrifying attack just now!
It's like doing dozens of true/false questions in a row but none of them are right and you also need strength, which is undoubtedly a show off of strength!
"This is because we are kind and can't bear to see you die, so our men have mercy!
If you lay down your arms and surrender on your knees, we promise we won't hurt you!"
As soon as this sentence came out, many adventurers directly threw down their weapons and surrendered - the pursuers on the other side of the town are getting closer and closer!
As for where there are so many people in Maple Town? For those people in Black Mud Town, it is not difficult to understand that there are more soldiers in a town where even elite archers can appear;
The baron saw that the soldiers' position seemed to be wavering, and then a sentence that made him even more frightened came—
"If anyone can capture Baron Wolf, Baron Fang Dun will reward him with a hundred gold coins!"
