Chapter 1492 - Brave New World (10)

It happened very suddenly, even though Arthur had long been aware of the hostility hidden in the darkness.

The arrow just now was not aimed at Arthur, so Arthur couldn't detect the arrow's trajectory with his mind and eye. But then another arrow came from the darkness, and the trajectory of the arrow was still unbiased towards Arthur's heart. Arthur felt that he was being underestimated, and he was a little angry, so he instantly drew his sword from its sheath and slashed the incoming iron arrow with the bladeless iron sword.

The moment the blade and the iron arrow collided, many people in the caravan were surprised. I didn't expect this blonde boy they had always looked down on to be so good - in this world, it is very difficult to use a weapon to cut off an oncoming flying prop.

However, Arthur was also a little surprised, because when he swung his sword, he obviously planned to split the iron arrow in two, but he didn't expect that the trajectory of the iron arrow was slightly different from what he predicted, causing the blade and the arrow to collide, and the iron arrow just bounced diagonally away!

Arthur was already a master of using the mind-eye technique, and he couldn't have made such a low-level mistake!

That's right, it is precisely because the concentration of photons has become thinner that the spells in this world will be much weaker than the spells in Arthur's original world, and even Arthur's mental eye technique has deviated!

If it weren't for Arthur's luck, the slightest deviation just now would probably have caused him to raise his sword and swing it in the air! And if he hadn't bounced the iron arrow away, that arrow might have gone straight into Arthur's heart - it was just terrifying, Arthur couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about this!

However, if he realizes that using the Mind Eye Technique in this world will be wrong, Arthur knows what to do next!

The enemy saw Arthur block the arrows with his sword, and instantly realized that Arthur was the most difficult guy in the team, so they chased Arthur to fight, and several cold arrows were fired at Arthur from all directions!

"Don't be too complacent!!" Arthur walked lightly, carefully avoiding the arrows. Although there is a deviation in the trajectory predicted by the heart eye technique, the deviation is generally not large, so Arthur can easily avoid it by dodging - as long as he doesn't die and uses his sword to block the arrow, it will be fine!

However, how could he have been suppressed by his opponent and not fight back at all!, but while he dodged the last arrow, he immediately reached out and grabbed the iron arrow that swept past him, used it as a weapon, and threw it towards the dark corner of the forest!

"Wow!" came the screams of an enemy in the shadows. That guy had just finished firing an arrow, and he didn't expect Arthur to make such a quick counterattack, so he was shot in the head by an iron arrow before he even had time to move!

"There are nine of them!" Arthur shouted, "Oh no, it's eight now!

Hearing Arthur say this, the group of mercenaries also recovered from their stunned state and began to fight back. The shooting just now has exposed the location of the ambusher, and it is not a particularly big problem for the mercenaries to follow the direction of the wind from which the arrows are fired. Of course, the group of enemies, knowing that the location of the ambush had been exposed, began to move. In an instant, the forest began to be filled with the sound of Si Suosuo's footsteps.

Another cold arrow was fired. Of course, the arrow was not directed at Arthur, but at the caravan's carriage. But Arthur had already been deployed by the carriage, how could he let his opponent succeed, he raised his sword and rushed forward, and with one sword he swept away the cold arrows that were fired!

The arrow sprayed a small amount of oil, and sparks on the oil splattered everywhere.

"Be careful, they're going to attack with fire!" Arthur shouted. The arrow that had just been shot was soaked in oil, but it wasn't really ignited. The enemy probably intended to turn the wagon into a flammable material with an arrow carrying oil, and then set it on fire in one go. In this way, as long as the carriage is ignited by a small spark, the entire carriage and the goods in it are not saved!

However, Arthur suddenly realized a very strange detail. If the opponent is trying to steal the caravan's caravan, they will definitely not be willing to set it on fire, right?

So the purpose of the enemy's attack on the caravan was not actually to take away the goods, but to destroy them?!

More arrows came from the darkness, and Arthur had to give up thinking about the details and catch up with his sword to block. It's been a month since he came to this world, and Arthur has gradually become accustomed to the movements of this young man's body, and after persistent physical training, his movements have become very agile. He easily dodged several cold arrows that flew in, and breathed a sigh of relief before turning his head and asking the caravan people, "What kind of goods are in this carriage?!Why did those thieves want to set fire to it?!"

"It's not something you need to meddle with. The leader of the caravan retorted coldly.

"Good!" At the same time, the sound of iron arrows breaking through the air was coming. Arthur then rushed over again, raised his sword, and flicked another iron arrow. However, even though he blocked so aggressively, a lot of oil was spilled on the outer shell of the carriage. The carriage is becoming more and more flammable, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a small spark can burn it violently!

"I don't care, then you can wait for the carriage to be burned to ashes!" the boy threatened.

"Or we can leave your mercenaries behind and run away!" replied the caravan's man, waving his whip and driving his horse. However, they were naïve, the caravan's horses were not war horses after all, and the horses were already frightened when the caravan was attacked, and even if they were constantly urged by the leather whip, they only stood still and did not dare to run around.

"Hmph. Arthur squeezed out a contemptuous sneer.

"Alright, alright, you win!" said the leader of the caravan angrily, "The carriage is too dangerous, let the holy woman come out, and let this little brother take charge of keeping the holy woman safe." ＂

"Holy Maiden?" the young man muttered in his heart.

The men of the caravan had already opened the door of the carriage and let the things hidden in the carriage out of the carriage. The caravan carriage was not transporting any goods this time, but a person. More precisely, it was a peasant girl dressed very modestly.

"Is that you?" Arthur was immediately stunned when he saw the girl.

"It's you!" the girl was stunned when she saw Arthur. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and glared at Arthur for a long time before she spoke: "Micah-"

"Shhhhhhhh

The girl looked at Arthur in horror, and after a few seconds nodded violently, indicating that she would cooperate with Arthur's actions.

Seeing Arthur suddenly rush to their "holy woman", the group of merchants was also shocked. However, Arthur immediately let go of the hand covering the girl's mouth, indicating that there was no malice. The girl turned to the group of merchants and explained, "He can be trusted." ＂

"Is it someone you know, Holy Maiden?" asked the leader of the caravan.

The girl nodded vigorously again.

At the same time, another arrow was fired at Arthur, and this time it was a lit rocket. Of course, Arthur did not slack off, and instantly raised his sword to block it, the blade and the iron arrow collided, and the arrow jumped away in an instant.

However, in the collision, the grease ignited on the arrow burst out of a spark, which still fell on the carriage!

The wooden carriage had been poured with oil, and it was ignited in an instant without any suspense.

"Hmph" The heat of the flame rushed towards Arthur, and the boy subconsciously pulled the girl away from the danger. The group of merchants also fled in fright, and they were all desperate.

"Hey, don't run! you're going to die!" warns Arthur. However, his warning came too late, and the merchants who had fled into the forest in a panic had already become the targets of the enemy's sneak attack, and as they fled, they were shot one after another, screaming and falling, swallowed up by the dark and merciless shadows of the trees.

"Damn it!" Arthur then called, "Protect the cargo!!"

He expected the group of mercenaries to respond to him and run back to help. However, he overestimated the strength of the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the mercenaries who ran into the forest to raid the enemy were actually killed by those thieves in the forest, and none of them came back alive!

"Michael-" The girl hid behind Arthur in horror, at a loss.

"Follow me, you're going to break out of here!" Arthur sprinted with his sword. The situation is so bad that it feels like history repeats itself a month ago. If Arthur was the only one on the battlefield, it would have been easy to escape or even kill most of the enemy. However, there was a girl behind him who needed protection—a young girl with no formal combat training—and she was nothing short of a liability.

However, it is not a man's job to leave the girl alone and run away. Arthur had no choice but to bite the bullet!

"Die!" Arthur had just taken a step before he noticed that the enemy had come out of the forest and hurriedly surrounded him and the girl.

This time, Arthur miscalculated the number of enemies—there were far more than eight of them! There were twenty thieves in the encirclement! Except for the eight who were first noticed by Arthur, the others were so cleverly ambushed that they almost blended into the woods, and they could not detect the slightest sound. No wonder the group of mercenaries disappeared immediately after rushing into the woods, it turned out that they were secretly killed by the enemy!

If it was in the original world, King Arthur, who was strong and strong, could easily break through the encirclement of just twenty people, but in this world nine hundred years later, he was just a weak teenager, and with his physical strength, he couldn't break through alive! Not to mention that he was still carrying a young girl!

The tide of battle took a turn for the worse, and in an instant it reached a point where Arthur could not be reversed on his own!

What should I do? He had no choice but to make a move.

Arthur took a deep breath and reached out with his left hand to grasp the bladeless blade of his sword.

White light, flash!
