Chapter 212: Human Shield

A figure walked out of the cave, and then looked closely, it was indeed a guy in the costume of a knight of honor, and the drop helmet he took off hugged his right arm to reveal his face, he walked out of the cave, looked casually at the surrounding woods, shook his thick iron boots, and threw the helmet held in his right arm on the ground, and leaned against a dry mountain wall, and began to hum a little song, although from time to time the screams of Queen Agnes were heard in the cave, and the tune he was humming was very discordant.

"That is really spicy." In his own words, the knight of honor put his boots on his helmet, bowed down, twisted a slender cigarette stick from the edge of his iron boots, and stood up again, and took out a pack of tobacco and a flint with velvet attached to his bosom.

After a sharp puff, the little song he hummed came to an abrupt halt, and the smoke rings gradually dissipated with the breeze blowing from the west, and even his eyes seemed to represent selflessness.

Walker, the Duke of Ella, and Wayne Landmark, the head spy, lurked about 20 paces away from him, the former crouching in the dead grass, in the company of the annoying spiky grass. The latter hid behind the trunk of a large thick tree, occasionally looking for an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the misty-eyed and spitting smoke.

The lurking duo turned their heads to look at each other for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Duke Walker, who was crawling in the dead grass, carefully pulled the string and loaded, and then supported the mud under the dead grass with his left arm, and held the crossbow arm steadily. The index finger of his right hand pressed lightly against the gold trigger of the crossbow, and with the spiked grass spike head tilting eastward, he aimed the crossbow at the right of the head of the honor guard knight.

A man's roar came from the cave.

Walker, Duke of Ella, pulled the trigger with his index finger.

The bolts spun and flew out, the pop of the sound of the roar far away.

The knight of honor stuck a crossbow bolt in his head, and then he slammed into the mountain wall, and his body slowly slid to the ground with the mountain wall on his back.

"Let's go!" Duke Ella stood up from the dead grass, motioned for Wayne to follow him, and ran to the mountain wall next to the cave, and in the run, Duke Walker of Ella did not forget to reload the crossbow he was carrying.

"Your Highness, just rush in, there are still 29 knights without war horses inside." Wayne Landmark glared at Duke Ella, and kept mouthing like this, almost using his hands and feet at the same time.

"Shhh Hiss-" It was another sound coming from inside the cave, no doubt a long tearing of fabric.

"Don't come here! I warn you! I am the daughter of a Kakhand! Whoever does it again, I promise my father will tear you garbage to shreds! It was Queen Agnes' scolding, but even so, it was very tactful, and the response was a laugh from the knights of honor.

"Come here! Put on this guy's armor and put on his tiptoe helmet. Walker, the Duke of Ella, had already leaned down and began to pull the armor from the guard of honor knight he had shot to death, "Put on this turtle shell." ”

Wayne Landmark then looked nervously into the cave, and then pounced on the corpse's side, and with the assistance of Duke Walker of Ella, he quickly put on the armor of the dead honor guard knight, and while fastening the drop helmet, Wayne Landmark's face showed a sad look, and complained softly, "Your Highness, do you want me to walk into the 'thief' den so swaggeringly?" ”

"Yes, you'll have to be my shield for a short time." Duke Walker nudged Wayne Landmark, "You go ahead, I'll be behind." ”

"Your Highness, if anything goes wrong, you have to tell my brother that I love him more than my wife. My brother is a good man, and my wife, forget it, I have forgiven him. Wayne Landmark kept babbling.

"Hold your weapon, if anything goes wrong with you, I guess I won't have a chance to go to George and tell you what he said to me. Let's go in. Hold your sword, I have changed my mind about the deputy I have now found from this guy, and the crossbow must be used, and the sword must also come in handy. Remember our primary goal, the rescue of Her Royal Highness. The secondary thing is to preserve the dignity of Her Royal Highness. Duke Walker patted Wayne Landmark on the right shoulder.

Walker, the Duke of Ella, had thought that the cave was nothing more than an empty flat space made of fallen stalactites, but he was completely wrong.

The cave was never supposed to be a borderland—the neatly built ancient stone steps swirled against the cliff edge of the cave wall; The almost decaying wooden fence protects the side of the stone steps against the cliff; Dozens of feet above the cave wall, the inlaid wood hung upside down from the Lion Banner of the old nobles of the Grinster dynasty, all of which were a testament to the sights that time had given to Walker, the Duke of Ella. An even more peculiar sight is the huge crater under the cliff, which seems to be bottomless, and looks like a black hole, and only by listening carefully can you hear the occasional sound of running water.

Queen Agnes' loud cry for help came from the highest platform of the stone steps. There were five or six knights of honor at the platform.

"Now it's up to you to perform. Wayne. The guy lying on the wooden fence in front of him looking at the scenery. Do you know how? Duke Walker whispered to Wayne Landmark, and then quietly hid in the shadows where the torches hanging from the cave wall could not shine.

Wayne Landmark walked straight towards one of the two honor guards who were watching the abyss.

"Boy chicken. Finished smoking your tobacco so quickly, which is cuter than a woman's body? The knight of honor turned and smiled at Wayne Landmark as he walked towards them.

Wayne Landmark remained silent, still walking towards him, placing one hand on the knight's shoulder.

"What? Pretending to be dumb? I suggest you take that tender hand away. Rookie. The knight tried to take Wayne's hand away from his shoulder.

"In fact, I'm preparing to do that." Wayne snorted, and then slammed into the guard of honor, the wooden fence behind the knight couldn't withstand such a hit, and the knight fell into the abyss with a scream. The screams caught the attention of most of the knights of honor in the caves.

"What are you doing? Boy chickens? It's so strange to talk about! The knight of honor next to Wayne immediately pressed his hand on Wayne Landmark's shoulder, "You killed your knight brother!" This is a felony! ”

"Apparently you've mistaken someone." Wayne Landmark raised his kick coldly and kicked it hard, and the knight of honor fell off the cliff outside the stone steps in the same way, and a moment later there was a muffled thud.

Two screams in a row, finally made most of the honor guard knights drive down the stone steps, Wayne Landmark was anxious, looked around at his Royal Highness the Duke, but there was no one around, he was in distress, his heart was inexplicably panicked, he unleashed the crossbow, hurriedly loaded, pulled the trigger towards the honor guard knights who came, and the crossbow bolts shot were even more inaccurate.

"Missed." Wayne Landmark's heart was cold.

"There's an intruder disguised as us." The knights of honor shouted.

"Is there only one?" The knight on the platform turned his back to Queen Agnes and shouted down.

"Yes, just one person. Maybe it's just a little scout. "The Knights of Honor were not afraid of the panicked Wayne Landmark.

"Then give him death, don't disturb my good interest!" Several knights on the platform shouted, and then turned around, "Your Highness, I think our brothers should hurry up and start with you!" ”

"Get out of here!" Queen Agnes' angry scolding was like a weak gasp.

Wayne Landmark knew in his heart that there was no time left to reload his crossbow bolts, so he gritted his teeth, picked up the kite-shaped shield of the Limston Honor Guard Knights resting beside the cave wall, pulled his usual silver sword from its scabbard, stood in place, lifted the shield, and wiped his chin to prepare for defense.

The Honor Guard Knight was in a condescending advantage, and Wayne, who was under the stone steps, was quite passive, and the posture of looking up at the shield defense would undoubtedly consume more energy between attack and defense than the Honor Guard Knight attacking from above.

"Defend first, attack later." A few words flashed through Wayne's mind, followed by more prayers for the Duke's strategy to come soon, and he silently said in his heart, "Your Highness will not abandon me." There must be a reason for his disappearance. I hope you can come in time, Your Highness! ”

With a shout, the kite-shaped shield met the blade slashed by the guard of honor knight, and although it blocked the first attack, the force of the knight's blade made Wayne Landmark take a step back.

"What guy. I was able to find it here! And kill our brothers! The Knight of Honor drew his sword and questioned Wayne Landmark sharply.

"A punisher sent by the goddess Arcana." Wayne Landmark slapped his silver sword against the surface of the kite-shaped shield.

"Punishment for what?" The other knight of honor standing in front of Wayne Landmark asked knowingly, and coldly swung his sword at Wayne's neck.

"What are you doing, do you need to ask me?" Wayne Landmark raised his hand and swung his shield to unslash as his sword swung away at the knight in front of him.

"Awareness is good. You're no ordinary scout, and you know a lot. The knight of honor in front of Wayne Landmark leaned back.

"That's true." Wayne Landmark stood still, cowering behind his shield.

"So you can't go." The tip of the Honor Guard's sword dangled like a viper in front of Wayne's kite-shaped shield.

"I don't plan to leave." Wayne's flustered heart had calmed down, and he pricked up his ears.

"Hanging on the cave wall or the underground river is your home, and you can choose the two options." The words of the knight of honor were full of sarcasm.

"He didn't choose well, I can choose it for you, become an ice sculpture! You fools! The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded at the corner of the stone steps.

"It's His Royal Highness the Duke!" Wayne Landmark suddenly lunged forward, smashing his shield at the knight of honor in front of him, a sudden move that the knight of honor did not expect, and he fell to the ground on his back, and the twitching silver sword slammed into the heart of the knight of honor.

"Wayne, bury your head for me." A dark shadow leaped up from behind Wayne Landmark.
