"Quack!"

A few crows flew over and landed on a tall gallows by the roadside, on which hung several dried corpses, all hanged cultists, but very few bandits.

Because bandits are all caught and killed at any time, they are not qualified to go to this kind of gallows at all, and only cultists who are afraid of the major kingdoms and major forces will have such qualifications.

And there are many gallows like this on both sides of this kingdom artery, you can see one or dozens every few hundred meters, some gallows look improvised at first glance, while others are well-made, with more and fresher corpses hanging on them.

Occasionally, a stake may even be seen, which was used to burn the more evil witches and serpents.

Zhang Yang and his mercenary group escorted a large cart slowly, and although this road was the most famous economic lifeline in the Kingdom of Sarion, it did not mean that it was easy to walk.

Messy weeds, floating dust, forever bumpy roads, it's nothing short of an ordeal.

When it was only half a day, everyone, including Zhang Yang, became discouraged, and this kind of torment would take a whole day.

"Captain, there's a caravan ahead. ”

The sound of hooves sounded, and Anderson rode back from the front on a hunting horse.

Although he has not yet been transferred to a ranger, he has a level 2 horsemanship, so from the very beginning, Zhang Yang has Carly and Anderson take turns to spy on them, although the chances of encountering bandits on such an important trade route are slim.

"Get out of the way, all on alert!"

Zhang Yang gave an order, in such troubled times, the caravan is not necessarily a good person, and you have to be careful of being blacked out.

It's just that as soon as he gave the order, two more riders appeared in the distance ahead, and they were galloping fast, even if they saw Zhang Yang's team, they didn't intend to slow down.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang relaxed, this was not for them, it was obvious that the two riders had other priorities, maybe they were delivering letters.

As the two riders passed, one of them suddenly shouted, "Get back, there's an army of cultists ahead, and they've sacked the town of Ole." ”

Zhang Yang was stunned, Ole Town, isn't this the location of the task he just received to eliminate the robbers.

But at this time, he can't think about whether things are true or not, the cultist's army is not something he can deal with.

"Turn around!"

Zhang Yang shouted, and at the same time looked ahead, and at this time he could already see the shadow of the caravan, they were obviously moving fast, and the stirring smoke and dust were like clouds and mist, and they were dozens of meters high.

A very bad feeling emerged in his heart, looking left and right, Zhang Yang saw that there was a cliff hill about 100 meters away on the right side of the road, not high, only more than 20 meters, and the area was not large, and there were four or five big trees growing on it.

"Go over there and line up!"

Zhang Yang gave the order, of course he didn't want to meet the cultists, but if he was caught up by the cultists' cavalry on the road, it would be a disaster.

Soon, 20 of his soldiers, plus a cart, arrived at the hill, and the veteran Robert began to direct the soldiers to line up on the hill and the cart.

By this time there was an even more chaotic sound of hooves, and there was a shout, and the front of the caravan was in disarray, and five or six hired riders were running wildly without sparing their horsepower, and the smoke and dust from their mounts covered the situation behind them.

Suddenly, one of the hired riders fell off his mount with a scream, and it was clear to Zhang Yang that it was a spear flying out of the dust and smoke.

Just a few seconds later, a knight whose whole body was shrouded in black armor rushed out of the smoke, and even if he was two or three hundred meters away, Zhang Yang could feel that terrifying murderous aura.

Especially when the wanderer system gave the information about the tall black-armored knight, Zhang Yang was even more shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

This is actually the highest-ranking class on the cultist's side, the Black Knight of Heresy.

This is a monster with a level of 55, 48 strength, 24 agility, 15 levels of iron bones, 12 levels of strong attacks, 6 levels of throwing, 10 levels of horsemanship, level 7 of mounted archery, one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, and long-pole weapons proficiency of up to 500 points.

What's more, the luxurious equipment, even the war horse is unusually tall and majestic, and the whole body is covered with iron armor, which is clearly a humanoid tank.

Zhang Yang was already thinking about whether to run away, because such a black knight could almost wipe out his team.

Fortunately, at this time, the black knight was chasing the four hired riders.

When Zhang Yang was hesitating, there were seven or eight mercenary swordsmen who fled in the caravan at this time, they were also panicked, and actually fled towards Zhang Yang and them, behind them, a caravan coachman also desperately drove the two horses, panicked, and the carriage overturned directly, and the goods loaded on it were scattered all over the ground.

The driver was crushed under the car, screaming desperately, but no one could take care of him.

The sound of hooves sounded again, and two more cavalry of the cultists chased them out of the smoke, but they were no longer black knights, but heretical giant warriors, this was also a high-level army, there were 42 levels, and as soon as they rushed out, they saw at a glance the formation of Zhang Yang on the hill bag, so they let out a bloodthirsty laugh, and they didn't care about the seven or eight escaped mercenary swordsmen, and rushed up the hill bag on the left and right.

"It's really a master of art and boldness, Lao Tzu admires it. ”

Zhang Yang, who was originally hesitating to escape, spat out, he really didn't have the confidence to fight against the Black Knight, it was already an existence with strength close to B-level.

But this giant warrior, at best, is C-level, and he can still fight.

"Array!

"Get closer, hold steady!"

The veteran Robert shouted hoarsely, while six armed infantry stood in the first row, maintaining the line of soldiers, even though they were in a position ten times the enemy's number, but the invisible murderous pressure still made a group of recruits who had not yet seen blood tremble.

Zhang Yang, Carly, and Anderson had also dismounted at this time, they were their own long-range forces, but the hunting bow in Anderson's hand could not even tickle the giant warrior who was wrapped in an iron armor and iron helmet from head to toe.

Carly's hunting crossbow is also estimated to do little damage.

The only thing that can deal damage is the flamboyant Heavy Javelin, a throwing weapon with a solid iron head mounted on the front end, which can deal a lot of damage to iron armor.

As for the assassin's throwing knife, there is basically no need to think about it.

The horses of the two mighty warriors were also powerful, even if it was a 40-degree hill, they still rushed up with great speed, and always used shields to protect the upper body.

Anderson and Carly had started shooting, but they were mostly blocked by each other's shields.

Zhang Yang stood behind the soldiers, shielded with his war horse, and waited patiently.

Finally, a giant warrior on the left rushed up, the ironclad war horse knocked down an armed infantryman, and at the same time, the heavy mace in his hand smashed down, and the other armed infantry snorted, the shield in his hand was directly deformed and broken, and the whole person even spat blood and flew out, knocking down seven or eight recruits behind.

What a terrible power.

But Zhang Yang was waiting for this moment, taking advantage of the moment when the door of the giant warrior opened, the heavy javelin in his hand was thrown out violently, forming a scream in the air, and in an instant, it exploded through the gap in the eye socket of the bucket helmet of the giant warrior.

"Ahh

The giant warrior let out an earth-shattering shout and directly planted his horse, this blow can be regarded as an accurate headshot, because the distance is less than fifteen meters, this is Zhang Yang's home field.

The moment the giant warrior fell off his horse, an armed infantryman seized the opportunity, held the long sword with both hands, and stabbed through the gap in the man's helmet, directly snatching the head of the man.

But at this time, Zhang Yang didn't care about this, and as soon as he hit it, he turned around and pulled out the second heavy javelin, throwing it at the second giant warrior.

This time it didn't work out so well.

The main reason is that the other party is too alert, and the combat experience is incomparable, and he quickly blocked Zhang Yang's javelin with a shield, and then decisively dismounted, and the shield collided with the veteran Robert and flew out, life and death are unknown, and then with another wave of the shield, knocking out an armed infantryman, and at the same time smashing the nail hammer, Thor standing in the second row broke the shield and stunned.

It's too fierce!

Of course, this is also the soldier on Zhang Yang's side.

At the critical moment, Zhang Yang was very calm, turned over and got on his horse, and with the help of this height, the third heavy javelin flew out with a roar, which made the giant warrior have to collect his shield to defend.

"Ahh

Bob suddenly burst out from the right side with a sledgehammer in both hands, and the hammer slammed into the shoulder of the giant warrior, and with a bang, the giant warrior staggered.

Then a recruit screamed and thrusted with a spear, which didn't penetrate the opponent's iron armor at all.

Another armed infantry rushed and slashed several swords from behind, only to see sparks scurrying around, but the effect was still very little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yang threw a fourth heavy javelin and hit the left shoulder of the giant warrior, which shattered directly and forced the opponent to drop his shield.

"Ahhh

Bob with a sledgehammer smashed down again, this time finally knocking the giant warrior who had been attacked repeatedly to the ground, and then this guy smashed wildly, and after a few hammers, he actually grabbed the second head.

Zhang Yang didn't have time to sigh at this time, and immediately started rescue treatment, his level 2 surgery and level 2 healing skills were still good, at least to ensure the stability of the injuries of several wounded.

But after a few minutes, Zhang Yang's heart turned bad, for seven or eight more heretics rushed after the remaining caravan escort with more than twenty heretical infantrymen, including five heretical crossbowmen.

To make matters worse, the black knight had already circled back from the front, forcing the seven or eight mercenary swordsmen who wanted to escape to stay on the hill with Zhang Yang.
