Chapter 15: Quasi-Mutiny (Part II)

Before Calabis could react, the leader quickly spun Tifo's shield in half a circle, blocked another arrow, and instantly scanned the enemy from the shadows in the gap of the shield's figure-eight: four on horseback and armed with javelins, plus nine warriors on foot.

The leader pointed his hand at Calabis who was lying on the ground, meaning that he should lie down in the grass and not move, and then pulled out a small axe with a chain from behind his cloak, and drew a beautiful silver arc in the air, and with a "snap", the fire on Adiana's car was extinguished, and Adiana in the car exclaimed softly, and everything around him became dark. This caused the attackers, who had lost their clear aim, to move in a general direction, and since they had not shot Calabis and the leader, the attackers had abandoned their bows and arrows, and instead held their scimitars and quickly touched them.

Seeing this, the leader stepped on the shoulder of Calabis again, and tore the old wound that he had just healed, and he cried out in pain, and with the help of this rebound force, the leader jumped up like a swift, and threw the chain axe in his hand, and an attacking cavalryman howled miserably, and was struck in the face, and fell from his horse, and an arc flashed in the night sky - the leader turned sharply again, shook the chain, and tied the hooves of another rider, and pulled a belt, and the rider could not stop, and flew down hard, Staggered with the leader in mid-air, and after a cold light, his body split into two - the leader's special Tifo shield stretched out a double-headed sword, like the tongue of a beast, reflecting the light of death.

The other two messengers reacted very quickly, and the tall one immediately pulled out a huge iron rod of thorns, holding a long shield in one hand, like an iron tower, blocking the front of the car. The other, like a deer, jumped to the top of the carriage in two or three strokes, pulled up the Scythian bow in his hand, and fired several arrows in quick succession, ignoring the dark night's reduction of Shili, and the shot hit, and several attackers, who were still charging like wild boars, were shot in the run, and rolled down in a strange position.

At this moment, too much of the attacking team was wiped out.

"Over there!" Calabis, who was lying on the grass, suddenly saw the attacker coming from the other side, and shouted, it turned out that this was a ploy.

But it seemed that it was too late, the attackers were extremely fast, and they had already leaned on Adiana's car, and the ambassador waved the big iron rod in his hand, and the two attackers were swept into the air like garbage, with broken bones and blood. The iron-masked leader noticed the situation on this side and was anxious to turn back to help, but he was entangled by several enemies who pounced on him, so he could only dance the chain axe in one hand and the shield of Tifo in the other, and fight and walk.

It seems that this group of attackers came from Jihua, who had been secretly watching for a long time and had made a thorough plan.

"Calabis, Calabis!" Adiana in the car shouted, and Calabis was still lying in the grass by the stream, and the old wound on his right arm had recurred, but when he heard Adiana's call, he gritted his teeth and quickly clinged to the grass and crawled in the direction of the car.

At this moment, two or three more assailants were beaten with iron rods by the tall messengers, and blood, brains, and bones were sprayed everywhere, and the wheels and carriages were everywhere. Several of the attendants who were driving the car were either killed in the brawl or shivered under the belly of the car. Calabis finally felt for the wheels and was about to climb up, when a sword blade stabbed out of the window, and passed between his face and shoulder, almost killing him on the spot.

Calabis froze, and then the blade of the sword drilled back and forth, moving around his cheeks, and it seemed that the owner of the blade wanted to pull it back with force, "Your Excellency, it's me!" Calabis hurriedly shouted, and when Adiona drew the sword back and stabbed it again, his life would be in the hands of the girl.

"It's Calabis, you go quickly, go and contact the people of the Triple Wing to come to the rescue."

"Don't you think it's too late to say this now!" Calabis roared.

Then he heard a dull "clang" and "clang", and at first glance, several of the attackers were bent on their waists, and out of nowhere, they threw out a huge shield cart, full of short spears and sharp blades, and rumbled into the tall messenger. The high ambassador leaned on the carriage, exerting all his brute strength, and the iron rod in his hand was like a windmill, smashing with the shield cart, sparks were everywhere, and the shield cart could not move forward for a while.

An arrow slanted down, hitting one of the attackers who was poking his head through the gap in the shield cart, and the other man snorted and fell. It was fired by the dwarf messenger on the roof of the car, and then, like a ghost, he jumped out of the car and circled the flank of the shield cart - there was no iron shield to cover it, and the arrows were missed, and in a short moment, the attackers hiding behind the shield cart were killed by one arrow after another.

"It's so dangerous, it's safe now." Calabis sweated, and it seemed that Adiana's car was safe.

Over there, the neck of one of the attackers in Zuihou was hidden by the double-headed sword hidden by the shield of the leader messenger, which popped out from the front, penetrated, and then retracted with a mechanism, with a "stab, stab, stab", the attacker clutched his throat, slowly knelt down, and then fell to the ground with his butt pouted, never moving again.

The leader of the messenger flicked his cloak, put it back on, turned in great grace, and walked towards the car that was already safe.

"What a trench the combat effectiveness of these three iron-masked guys! No wonder Marcha only sent the three of them to escort Adiana, the triad is simply redundant, and tomorrow they will be called to Hebrida and they will be done to wash the floor and collect the corpse. ”

Thinking about it, Calabis climbed into the carriage and was about to ask Adiana if he was injured, when the approaching leader, suddenly with a long arm, threw the chain axe upwards, which was the crown of a large tree above Calabis's head.

With a crisp sound, the chain axe was bounced back by a certain weapon, and instead flew towards the leader's head, and the leader hurriedly dodged with his face, but the visor was still cut away by his own chain axe, and then hurriedly covered his exposed face with his cloak, threw down the chain axe, and with a "click" sound, he stretched out a double-headed sword from the shield of the Buddha and killed towards the canopy.

The tall ambassador had already picked up the iron rod and instinctively whistled at the trunk of the tree, but with a strange laugh, a black figure fell vertically from the canopy of the tree, and landed right next to Calabis, and then Calabis felt a slamming blow to his chest, "It's over, I was stabbed" and fell backwards from the car with the scream of Adiana "Calabis!" ”

The figure stabbed Calabis from the ox cart, and then drew his whip with one hand, and with a loud bang, he urged the four oxen to run violently, and with the other hand, he drew an arc to force the high ambassador out of the circle, and Adiana's chariot rumbled and drove rapidly.

At this moment, the broken tree, from the waist up, fell with a bang, and happened to cross in front of the iron-faced leader who came to stop him, and smashed up a cloud of smoke, and when the leader crossed the trunk, he saw Calabis with a pale face, muttering to himself on the grass, clutching his chest, rolling around, rolling away, not knowing what he was shouting, as for the car of the king of Pontus, it had already run away.
