73. Encounter with a samurai
It's almost dawn.
The Red Apostle Rat, unleashed by the Goblin King, ran endlessly, heading south through the plains until it reached the nearest forest.
The terrain of the mountains and forests is steep, the apostle rats are jumping up and down, and the vertical faulted stone walls are not difficult to make it difficult, smelling the magical breath of the samurai in the atmosphere, which is getting stronger and stronger.
On the uphill section, running straight, the light of the sunrise moment sprinkled around its eyes, and in its high-speed vision, the sunlight formed a backward orange-red speed line at the edge of the field of vision.
"Bang~!" Until the rat hits the hooves of the jumping horses.
"Relax~Relax~" The Terran cavalry armor soothed the mount, and the strong neighing of the horse finally subsided.
"What's wrong?" Companion Cavalry B asked.
Two lone horsemen looked panicked, dressed in light armor and carrying long swords that were easy to use when riding.
"The horse seems to have kicked a red thing just now? The corpse was behind the grass over there..."Cavalry Armor pointed to the ground, and the red object that had been kicked away fell behind it, and now the grass was motionless, presumably dead.
"Kicked something, deer?" Cavalry B wondered, he didn't see clearly in the rear just now, but the war horse was subjected to a lot of force when it hit the object, and he had to stop, but it was not the power that ordinary small stones could cause.
"It's not... It's almost dawn, I can see if it's a deer! ”
"Forget it, let's move on, hey, the mountain road is rough, I don't know where Lord Rodney has gone? We can't keep up with them..."
"It's just that it's been peaceful for too long, and we're lagging behind a lot in riding."
"Whew~!" The grass swayed, and the red rats sprang out of it, dragging out the afterimage of the two cavalrymen and running towards the side of the forest.
"Hey, do you see clearly? What is that!? Cavalry B asked in a panic.
"So small, a mouse?" The cavalry armor rubbed his eyes, but the red shadow had long since disappeared into the forest.
"It can't be a mouse! It's faster than any swooping falcon I've ever seen, and it at least gives me a concrete look. Cavalry B argued.
"No, that's a mouse!" In the direction where the red shadow had just disappeared, a strange man's voice came.
It's still a long way off, and it's from the footsteps, but it's not just one person's footsteps.
"Who!?" The cavalry armor questioned with murderous intent. Together with your companions, draw the sword on your back.
Could it be a companion in the cavalry? Cavalry Armor swallowed.
Until I vaguely saw a row of green figures following a tall man, slowly walking out, their steps light - because most of them were barefoot, and the green of their skin blended perfectly with the woods.
"Goblins!" Cavalry B was horrified, "Why do you speak human language!?" ”
This seemed beyond his knowledge.
"It's the one who took the lead," the cavalry armor was vigilant, pulling the horse to the side, ready to fight or flee, "Why can you speak so skillfully, aren't the goblins only screaming ugly?" And he's like a Terran..."
The leader is none other than the Samurai, one of the Goblin King's right-hand men.
Two hundred goblins encountered unicorn pythons on the way, and lost more than a dozen of them. The snake meat taken from there has been eaten up by the goblins, all of them are energetic, hideous-looking, juggling weapons with their wrists, and seem eager to fight.
"The king sent out red mice."
The samurai brought the red apostle rat to his eyes, and just now it rushed straight to stop in front of him, and now, it was gradually losing its form and scattering into a pile of dry sand.
"Whew~"
The warrior blew all the dry sand in his hands, and the red rat representatives urgently assembled and rushed to the Goblin King without delay.
"Ah~Finally~" The samurai showed an expectant expression, not dissatisfied with the back and forth between the north and the south, "I hope that the one-handed swordsman on the king's side is still there, and the person who is the same swordsman as me is also a strong man, how can I not compete with one of them?" ”
The saliva of the ordinary goblins flowed from between the teeth at the corners of their mouths, and they were about to fight uncontrollably, but they did not wait for the samurai to give the order, and they did not dare to move.
"Commander, shall we go back directly? What are these two Terrans going to do? A centurion asked beside the samurai.
"Oh, they," the samurai's face turned dull from anticipation, and the two Terrans in front of him had no combat power, "I don't know the concentration of magic at a distance by perceiving the earth like the shaman, but I can still see it at a glance at the enemy in person, and these two Terrans may not know anything about magic." ”
The Goblins of the North should not be underestimated, Cavalry B glanced at Cavalry A, and the two of them waved their horse ropes without collecting their swords, and quickly fled in front of the goblin troops, and now they should inform Commander Rodney of the whereabouts of the goblins... I don't know if it's easier to find the big troops.
"It's good, they didn't chase after them!"
But in the blink of an eye when the two looked back cautiously and then turned back, the samurai appeared in front of their path with his hands folded.
"Phew~"
The two of them spoke in unison and immediately pulled out the horse leash.
Four pairs of horses' hooves make long hoof prints on the road.
"How is it possible...," Cavalry B whispered in surprise, cold sweat running down his cheeks, "Is it teleportation magic?!" ”
The cavalry armor shook his head at him, indicating that he should not show his cowardice easily.
"Ah, I just don't know anything about magic, and not everyone in this world has the ability to learn magic..."The cavalry armor pretended to be angry, and raised his long sword to aim at the samurai, "But as a cavalryman, I also have solid horseback swordsmanship!" Since you can talk, it's easy to communicate, do you dare to use magic to one-on-one with me? A goblin with an exotic knife at his waist and a pretending goblin. ”
There's no other way right now, maybe the goblins who can talk and think will be provoked like those cruel guys?
If the other party agrees, the certainty of the cavalry armor winning the battle will be improved, and if it is not good, it is better to stay and drag the goblin commander, let his companions take the opportunity to escape, and inform Lord Rodney of the whereabouts of the goblins.
"You, you don't have the will to fight..."The samurai stared at the cavalry armor and shook his head calmly, "Although you didn't hesitate to raise your sword, what you exude is the aura of escape." ”
The cavalry armor was stunned, then it seems that the other party will not let go of himself and his companions... Are you going to kill it with the swift magic you just had?
The two were ready to parry.
"But it doesn't matter, since you also say that you have a bit of swordsmanship on horseback, I..." The samurai stood and crouched on his legs, slowly pulling out the sword at his waist, and the sword body wiped the buzz at the exit of the scabbard, "I can't help myself when I hear swordsmanship, okay, just as you said, one-on-one, no magic." ”
Cavalry A saw a glimmer of opportunity, and his eyes hinted at B, who nodded clearly and said that after a while, A would find a way to hold off the opponent.
But this is more than lucky, Cavalry B trembled his eyes slightly, and signaled to take care, and patted A on the shoulder.
"Can we start?" The samurai asked.
The cavalry armor crosses the horse sideways, raises the long sword high, and when the enemy rushes forward, he will also ride the horse forward, using the height on the horse's back, and the advantage of the long sword to kill the opponent, if the opponent does not use magic, it is an ordinary sword infantry.
"Come on!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of metal piercing the air was accompanied by the afterimage of the samurai moving forward.
Cavalry B watched for a moment, and the head of Cavalry Armor flew away from his body and fell to the ground not far away, and the head was still wrapped in a complete helmet.
Immediately, blood splattered on the spot, forming a thin patch of red mist.
"I think you're misleading, my high-speed movement isn't magic, it's just fast."
After landing on the ground, the samurai tilted his head back at a 45° angle and smiled disdainfully.
