The arrows flew over Arrod's head, and the horses under Arrod's crotch were frightened and neighed, and they were restlessly digging the ground with their hooves, and the guards of the caravan at Fort Lida picked up the eagle shields and aimed their spears at both sides of the path, and they formed a wall with their bodies, but there were so many people who came out of the woods that I really didn't understand how so many people could hide in this small wood.

"Lord Arrod, a hungry thug." Julian drew his sword and guarded Arrod's side, he saw the ragged bandits, and immediately realized that they were in great trouble, these were refugees from neighboring countries, they were just peasants with little food and clothing, but hunger had tormented them into a group of bandits who had to take risks for food, and this kind of people who had been cornered could not be stopped by dozens of guards on this forest path.

"Kill the Devil." Arold drew his sword, too, and he saw the thugs with vegetables in their faces, with hideous faces, wielding stubby sticks and forks, and from the corners of their foaming mouths, they knew that they had fallen into madness, and that no reason could be explained.

"Rush." Among the mobs, there were several people with rusty short knives, who looked like the leaders of this group of thugs, and they encouraged the people around them to storm the shield wall of the guards, and the people on both sides suddenly collided together, and the guards tried their best to block the flow of people with their bodies, but those thugs who walked staggeringly squeezed in from the middle of the guards under the inspiration of survival.

"There's food, and there's food." When a few thugs who were lucky enough to climb into the caravan uncovered the cloth of the caravan and revealed all kinds of rich food inside, they hurriedly stuffed the food into their mouths, and said in a slurred voice, maybe the other people did not hear them clearly, but their actions were like a lighthouse, so that these people had the motivation to continue, and the taste of hunger was very uncomfortable.

"Lord Arrod, run away, I can't stop it." Julian swung his sword and slashed down a thug who tried to drag him off his horse with his black hands, and he fell into the crowd, not forgetting to shout to Arold behind him.

"Damn it." Arold felt a cold sweat on his forehead, how could his luck be so bad, he had just left Lidaburg and had encountered such a thing, he kicked his foot in the face of a thug woman who wanted to get close to him, and hunger made the woman look like a beast.

"Ah~~~." Arrod's little attendant screamed, and his men and their mounts were pushed to the ground by a mob, who beat the mount to death with sticks in their hands, and then pounced on it and tore the horse's flesh with his teeth, bleeding everywhere, the young boy had never seen such a horrible thing, he collapsed to the ground and watched the scene in front of him, unable to move. Without thinking, Arold rode over and dragged the little squire onto his horse, and with his sword he pushed off a few thugs who had taken a fancy to his horse, taking advantage of the fact that the mob was attracted by food, and ran over them into the woods with the belly of the horse.

"Whoosh~~~." Suddenly, an arrow flew out, hitting Arrod's back, the arrow pierced his flesh, and Arold couldn't help but snort under the pain, in the past, Arold wore strong chain mail on the battlefield, even if there were occasional stray arrows, he could resist, but this time he didn't wear his own armor, and the linen clothes on his body couldn't resist an arrow at all.

"What's wrong with Lord Arold?" The little squire was held in his arms, probably because of his short stature, and Arold was completely holding a small child.

"Si." Arold felt his back burn like fire, and in the process of riding the horse, he could even feel the arrow trembling in the flesh, and the sweat flowed down his back, and the well-trained horse under his crotch was running fast in the forest, but no matter how well-trained the horse was, he could not run alone in the forest where the old trees were entwined without the control of the knight, and soon they lost their way and wandered in the woods.

"Lord Arrod." The little squire, in fact, Princess Josie, saw Arrod's lips chapped and his eyes blurred in focus, almost staggering on his horse.

"Ah~~~." Suddenly, Arrod fell from his horse without warning, he lay on the mossy ground, the arrow stuck in his back broke, and the sound of ** kept coming out of his mouth, even though he tried hard to get up, and after several attempts, he failed.

"Lord Arrod." Josie hurriedly jumped off the horse, and for the first time she felt helpless when she was surrounded by maids, she didn't know what she should do, so she could only keep calling Arrod's name, hoping that he would come to her senses and tell her what to do.

"Find a place to hide and get me some water." Arrod barely opened his eyes, and he tried to find a panicked little squire from his mouth.

"Oh, yes, yes." Princess Josie looked around, and she saw a trickling stream beside her, and the stream flowed down the trees and pebbles, and then looked closely at the roots of the two large trees beside the stream formed a tree hole, and the tree hole was not visible from above below the bank formed by the summer stream, and Josie helped Arold up and jumped under the bank of the river, and hid in the hollow.

Josie took out one of her half-embroidered handkerchiefs and came to the stream, she carefully stepped on the pebbles, soaked the handkerchief completely, and then helped Arold wipe the blood off his face, Arold's consciousness gradually began to blur, fortunately, the arrows in the hands of those thugs were not very good, the arrows were only long cones, there were no barbs, the power of the short bow was not strong enough, the wound was not deep, Arold was only unwell because of blood loss, and his consciousness was temporarily unconscious.

"Water, water." Arold felt that his throat seemed to be grilled by a flame, Josie used the water in the handkerchief to drip into his mouth, but the effect was very limited, Josie anxiously looked at Arrod's haggard touch, gritted his silver teeth and walked to the side of the stream with his white little hands to pick up a puddle of water, held it in his small mouth, and then quickly ran to Arold's side, she hooked her hair to her ear, lowered her head and crossed the cool stream into Arold's mouth.

"Hmm." Unconsciousnessed, Arold felt a soft thing stirring in his mouth, a sweet water moistened his dry throat, and a charming fragrance wrapped around the tip of his nose, for a moment Arold thought that he had entered heaven, and treated the uninvited guests who invaded his mouth, and Arold was not polite and greedy to search for the stream and incense.

"Wave." Josie felt that Arold's tongue was like a snake, wrapping her fragrant tongue, and she was even worried that her tongue would be knotted, so she quickly escaped from Arold's arms, her face was red with roses, she covered her violently undulating chest, and looked nervously to the left and right, if her nurturing grandmother saw it, she would definitely reprimand herself loudly.

"It's a strange feeling." Josie is a princess who grew up in a castle, her father is the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Mason, so she received the most orthodox education of Lady Christ, even if she often acts rebelliously, but kissing is of course a blank, completely inferior to Arrod, who has been educated by the international education of the teachers, of course, Arold is only unconsciously Ben's reaction.

"Yes." Arrod snorted, and after drinking the cool stream water, his face was much better.

"Again, one more time." Josie had kissed her father, kissed her brother, and of course had some others, but that kiss was completely different from Arrod's, and she once again fell on Arrod's body, and put her lips to Arold's lips, and a strange feeling came to the princess's heart again, her eyes gradually lost focus, her little head was messing around, and her body became soft and weak.

In the evening, Julian returned to the attacked woods with reinforcements from Fort Lida, by which time the thugs had already plundered and left with their booty, knowing full well that the local lords would not let them be unbridled in their territory, and that a quick escape through the border was the right choice, and this time the abundant loot was enough to sustain them for a while.

"Lord Arrod~~~." Hundreds of Fort Lida soldiers with their weapons and torches, they called Arold's name loudly, in the dense forest hundreds of torches like twinkling stars in the starry sky, in the dragnet search finally heard the call of everyone, Josie woke up from the dream, she actually lay on Arold's chest and fell asleep sweetly,

"Here." Josie quickly straightened her clothes, stood up from the hollow in the tree, and when she recognized that there was Andrea, she was familiar with in the call of the crowd, she no longer hesitated to respond.

"Here, they've been found." When the voices of the soldiers came, Andrea's hanging heart finally relaxed, one was the beloved daughter of Duke Mason, and the other was the second son of Baron Wendell, the owner of Fort Lida, no matter who had a problem, Lady Andrea would not be able to eat and walk around, but fortunately they were safe now.

Arold was carried by the soldiers to Fort Lida, where his body could be cared for in the best way, and after a day and night of rest, Arold finally woke up in the early morning, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was, "What about the little squire with me?" ”

"He's back to Fort Mason, are you looking for him?" Julian was sitting in a chair, he was napping with his sword, and it was no wonder that he hadn't had a good rest in the past two days.
