【Chapter 158】 When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red
In the dark night, a town with few lights crouched on the horizon. Eric slowed down slowly and lifted the curtain: "Lord Alice, there is Daotan Town ahead." ”
Alice lifted the curtain and saw a half-cut wheat field not far from the roadside: "They haven't finished the autumn harvest yet." Eric, slow down. We need to figure out where Leah will be. ”
"Pol Dutt has two residences in Daotan. Both in the north, one is the Stone Fort Courtyard. The other is further afield, built on the mountainside of the Black Forest Castle. I've heard that Bol hates castle life, and that takes his breath away. Therefore, unless an enemy is coming, he will take refuge in the castle. For the rest of the day, they will live in the Stone Fort Courtyard. ”
"Then let's go to the Stone Castle Courtyard first. Don't pass through the town, it's easy to attract attention. ”
As the most important armed force in Daotan Town, the Black Forest Knights are also considered to be the lowest class of small nobles, they basically have some family business, and when they don't need to be recruited, they rely on their family business and relatives to live in Daotan Town.
"Yes. ”
"That, Alice. Luna asked curiously, "What kind of lord is Pol Dut?" ”
"I've only met once, and it's a big fat man. Alice's face was full of contempt: "His waist is at least ten as thick as yours, and he may be able to fit a cow in his belly, and when he walks, his body is like a water bag, and he keeps swaying up and down." The face is full of flesh and covers its neck, and it looks like a disgusting big meat worm. ”
"Oh my God, ten me?" Luna gestured to her waist, then stretched out her arms, gesturing, "How much meat does it take to grow so fat?" I guess he won't be able to fight on horseback, because no horse can hold it and will be crushed. ”
"Yes, he needs the help of the butler to walk. There is no need to be afraid of him, but his Black Forest knights are not weak, there are almost fifty or sixty people, and if you add the knights, there are almost more than a hundred. In addition to this, there is a militia squad. I don't quite know how many there are. ”
The town of Daotan is supported by the tax of the port, and there are six or seven farms around it, which can be regarded as a rich territory. There are many more knights than Blackstone Castle, and in the heyday of Blackstone Castle, there were only more than twenty real knights, and the rest were servants and apprentices.
"What if...... I mean, if it's a head-on attack. Linda, can you destroy them?"
The strongest combat power among the four is Linda, followed by Elena, but she doesn't have Linda's stone skin protector and no combat skills, so she can only be regarded as a miracle soldier. And Alice has basically no combat power except for a tenacity prayer buff, as for Luna, the two rich elves can add small wings to heal damage, and the storm elves have not been practiced enough, and the ability to control the wind is not enough to cause damage.
Linda shook her head: "A cavalry force of one hundred people, I'm afraid my magic power is not enough." When their strength is exhausted, even if they can't kill me, they can subdue me when they are exhausted. ”
Alice shook her head and smiled, "Fighting head-on is the worst option. Luna, we need to use wisdom and use our powers carefully and effectively. ”
"I understand, Alice. Luna stuck out her tongue, "So it's just assumptions." If you can't win head-on, then take it out of our battle plan and try to avoid it. The next choice is a surprise attack. Preferably in the dead of night, we have Elena. ”
"Same as I thought. Alice nodded in agreement: "But first, determine Liya's location." ”
As the carriage drove along the rough and bumpy dirt road, Eric watched his surroundings intently, and in the hazy moonlight, a black silhouette began to appear in the distance.
At this moment, a procession of torches appeared in the main road of Daotan Town, about a dozen people, all on horseback, and the direction seemed to be the Stone Fort Courtyard.
"Mistress Alice. Eric hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage: "There is a situation." ”
Alice lifted the curtains and saw the marching cavalry, "Eric, how far is it from the courtyard of the stone castle? ”
"I could see the outline of the courtyard and the candlelight in the windows of the stone castle. It shouldn't be too far. ”
"Okay. Alice lowered the curtain and swept over the faces of the three Lindas: "Guys, it looks like we're going to get out of the car and walk." ”
"No problem!" Luna clasped her hands around Elena's shoulders, "Elena is our eyes." ”
"Eric, wait here, and if we don't come back before dawn, you'll return to Blackstone Fort on your own. ”
"Understood. Eric nodded: "I'll hide the carriage in the woods." ”
The black cloaks rustled in the autumn wind of the hunt, and the witches gathered around, looked at each other, and gently pulled up their hoods in unison, led by Elena, and disappeared into the darkness.
"It's really dark. After walking for a while, Luna almost tripped over the pothole under her feet, but fortunately grabbed the corner of Elena's clothes and couldn't help but complain: "I wonder if the warrior will fall on his head when the dragon sleeps and touches the dragon's lair." ”
"I'm sorry, Luna, it's all my fault. "Visibility was indeed low, and there was a hazy fog, and Elena had carefully chosen the path to take, but some potholes were inevitable.
"I don't blame you. Luna cautiously observed her feet, "I was too careless." ”
"Shhhh Elena suddenly stopped: "It's almost there, and I can see a figure under the courtyard wall." Three people, as if chatting. ”
"Elena, get around them. We went to the back of the stone fort. ”
"Understood. ”
Linda suddenly tugged at the corner of Alice's coat and pointed to the side behind the horsemen with torches turning behind them from a fork in the road.
"Wait. The speed of the cavalry was obviously faster than theirs, and Alice hurriedly said, "Elena, is there a place to hide nearby? ”
"Yes, there's bushes over there. ”
"Okay!" the four of them hurriedly dodged away and hid in the bushes not far from the roadside.
As the cavalry approached, Alice, who was next to Elena, suddenly found that her body began to tremble, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Elena's eyes wide open, clenched her teeth, and her face gradually became hideous.
"What's wrong?" Elena......" Alice gently took her hand and lowered her voice, "You're shaking." ”
"Quetharn, it's Quetharn. "Elena will never forget the guy who trampled on her father's fingers, the slave trader of Talk, Quettane, a big man, who rode a tall horse in front of the cavalry.
"Calm down, Elena. Alice was a little nervous in her heart, she knew Elena's hatred too well, for fear that she would not be able to control it and expose it in advance: "Now is not a good time for revenge." ”
It wasn't until the cavalry passed that Elena finally suppressed her inner impulse under Alice's appeasement. When the cavalry stopped in front of the courtyard, those people entered the courtyard.
When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were extremely red, and Elena was about to crush her silver teeth: "Alice, it's him-Quettane." I killed him in my dreams, I no longer fear him, I only have the anger of revenge in my heart. ”
"You will complete your revenge. Alice put her arm on the shoulder: "Perhaps, tonight." As long as we rescue Leah, we will all help you get your revenge. ”
It is unrealistic to defeat the Black Forest Knights, but it is not difficult to deal with a dozen people. Perhaps, you can find a good opportunity to fight a clean ambush battle.
Elena took a deep breath and suppressed her boiling hatred: "Well, let's go. ”
After carefully detouring all the way, the four of them finally successfully touched the side and rear of the stone castle. It is an orchard with olive trees and nuts, and a wooden gate connects to the side of the stone fort. However, the trouble is that not far from the wooden gate, a lookout post was set up, and there were guards on it to watch the night.
The four of them cautiously hid in the shadowy corners and gathered together to discuss.
"How many people?"
"Now there is one, cloaked in rags, with a scimitar. Well, he's leaning against the plank, yawning. ”
"Yawn?" Luna laughed, "then wait for him to fall asleep, or let him sleep forever." ”
"No, Luna, I have an idea. Alice frowned and muttered, "This is a stone castle, right? Linda is the best at dealing with stones." I don't think we have to go to such trouble and just smash the stone into the stone wall and make a hole?"
"Huh?" Luna froze, "yes!"
