Chapter 11, Escape
In front of the entrance to the village, the torches could not burn the strange flesh and mud, and in the pale moonlight, the knights felt creepy as they watched the flame that purified evil extinguish in the blink of an eye, and it coalesced into a human form unscathed.
"The men rode away from the other side of the village. β
The rear cavalry who entered the village did not chase after Langton and the others, and turned around and came out to report the situation.
"But we killed one. β
Listening to the report, the knights who were vigilant about the human form did not react much, and they also joined in with their bows and wounds.
The magic scroll that recorded the sacred spell Hammer of Holy Light was completely helpless against the strange flesh and mud, and it didn't have any effect to set fire, looking at the man who was surrounded, the knight touched the last scroll on his body, and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of monster are you?"
"Monsters?"
Facing the many knights who surrounded him with swords, the man shook his head and said sincerely: "No, you have misunderstood, I am a human being, a living person, without any malicious intent. β
"Huh. β
Hearing this, some cavalrymen couldn't help laughing.
This person has been transformed by strange flesh, how can he be human?
"Kill!"
As for the existence of evil, even if it is not the Knights of the Church, they are about to take over the Northland, and they also don't want a strange evil scourge to appear in their own territory!
The mouth cannon is ineffective.
In the face of the sharp long sword and the deadly feather arrow, the man who didn't want to die resisted for his life, and finally fell helplessly under the feather arrow and the sharp sword.
This is the second summoned person to die.
On the way to escape, Langton, who was so tired that he fell asleep directly on horseback, woke up in a daze, feeling that he had lost something again.
The eerie flesh can ignore light and fire.
But after condensing into a human being, they easily died from swords and feathered arrows, and the cavalry breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the Langton and his men who had run away.
"Go to the village and take a break, and then go after the mage tomorrow. β
"This area has been ransacked by the barbarians, but a few miles to the east, they will surely encounter the murderous barbarians who are still plundering. β
"Without the protection of the lady's banner, those barbarians will not be polite to them. β
"And we have 2,000 men scattered around. β
"They can run for a while, but they can't run for a lifetime!"
Because his weak body was tired to the limit, Lanton slept like a pig, unable to open his eyes at all, and had no idea of the current danger.
Talia is shot and the Magic Mountain is wounded.
With only two people, Little Peel and Artemisia, Tom, who did not believe in their strength, became cautious, and with limited mana recovery, he immediately cast a detection magic to avoid the enemy.
Unconsciously, under the cover of night, he had left the village for more than ten miles.
However.
They rode around in the middle of the night.
After all, they left traces and were discovered by experienced scouts!
Even if they didn't get a summons from the cavalry in the village.
Regardless of whether the Langton and the others were routed or escaped from the barbarian ransacked land, because of the search for Danvers, the scouts immediately contacted their team!
Casting the detection magic again and again, Tom who led the way soon found out.
There are more and more enemies around!
Surrounded by a siege, he can easily escape by casting a phantom shift, and it costs a lot of magic to bring Lanton, but Demon Mountain, Talia, Little Peel, and Artemisia can only give up.
Tom, who led the way, kept turning.
The Magic Mountain is not smart enough, but it has fought many battles.
Like the Persian female general Artemisiath, she had a wealth of experience in warfare, and she didn't need to be carefully analyzed to guess that they had fallen into the enemy's encirclement.
For the current situation, the little peel feels like he once teased his prey.
After a moment of silence, he suggested to Tom: "Your Excellency Wizard, why don't we hide for a while, wait until the number of enemies is determined, and if there are not many people, try to counterattack and break through?"
Hearing Little Skin's suggestion, Tomla, with a gloomy expression, stopped his horse, looked at the most powerful female assassin, and asked, "What do you think, Talia?"
Talia: "I think it's good. β
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has not completed the encirclement, counterattacking and breaking through is indeed the best choice.
Artemisia said, "But abandon the horse first." β
"Riding on a war horse, we will leave traces of being discovered by the enemy. β
Hearing this, Tom looked around and saw that there was only a small grove of trees on the side of the road to hide: "This grove is too small, and it is easy to find it when you hide in it." β
"Let the horses run on, and then we'll wipe off the tracks and hide in the trees," Talia said. β
Artemisia: "I agree. β
"And, I don't think there's a better idea. β
Tom shook his head, "Not necessarily. β
"We have one more option. He pulled out the mourning box in his pocket, "As long as Gabrie opens it." β
"This box is dangerous. Talia shook her head: "I don't agree with the risk. β
Little Peel: "We can hide for a while, but we can't hide all the time, we have to break through to survive." β
Artemisia looked at Little Peel: "Do you have the strength to defeat a hundred?"
The magic mountain was injured, Talia was hit by an arrow, Tom vomited blood and fled, everyone's combat strength was greatly reduced, and the little peeler thought that he was not bad, but he did not have the ability to fight a hundred enemies, and he suddenly had nothing to say when he heard the words.
Seeing that Langton didn't wake up, Tom hesitated for a moment, and finally decided: "Go into the woods." β
β......β
......
As Tom leads the group into the woods.
After so many days and a crushing defeat of 50,000 troops, the news of the death of Edgar Stuart, the Grand Duke of the Northlands, and his eldest son, Taylor Stuart, has spread throughout the Northlands.
The capital of the Northlands, the home of the Stuart family, in the Fort of Artisans on Blackstone Mountain.
Because the lord and heir died.
Rebel soldiers easily settled in the Black Rock Fort, which had ruled the Northlands for hundreds of years, with walls and pillars full of artistic carvings and paintings, and then cleared the castle of all the minions and soldiers loyal to the Stuart family!
As the youngest daughter of Edgar Stuart.
The only remaining heir of the Stuart family.
Treated like a princess by her father and brother since she was a child, the naΓ―ve and innocent Isabella Stuart didn't understand what was going on, so she put her stepmother, Mrs. Theron, under house arrest.
Hear about the death of my father and eldest brother.
The poor fifteen-year-old girl's eyes were swollen from crying.
Because of the vicious stepmother's purge, she also saw the massacre of the castle servants and soldiers by the rebels in the castle through the window of the room, and saw the unimaginable darkness and all kinds of ugly human nature.
However, Isabella, who is like a weak little princess, was not frightened by these things!
Her will is stronger than everyone imagined!
And.
The stepmother, who betrayed her father, did not bring back the bodies of her father and brother, which gave Isabella the last glimmer of hope.
Tomorrow morning.
The stepmother is about to transfer herself and send her to the port of Stuart by the sea for captivity!
Even though she was treated like a princess by her father and brother since she was a child, the lively and active Isabella still has a restless heart.
I want to get out of my stepmother's clutches!
I want to find my father and brother!
The strong Isabella secretly made up her mind that she couldn't stay in her room and wait for her death!
She's going to run!
...... To be continued......
