025. Ambush
Luo Yu didn't answer, just carefully wiped the silver dagger in his hand with a handkerchief, as if he hadn't heard Bellive's inquiry at all.
Belif had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, she knew that since Luo Yu had made a decision, she would not change it easily, and now she could only wait obediently.
"Knock knock..."
I don't know how long later, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
When the door was opened, standing outside the door was Longman, whose face was slightly condensed.
As soon as he saw Luo Yu, he immediately roared and reported, "Young Master Agares, a group of people are rushing towards our location. ”
Bellive's eyes widened and she hurriedly looked at Luo Yu.
Luo Yuze stopped wiping the dagger in his hand, slowly stood up, smiled and nodded, "Very good." ”
A small house at the outskirts of the village was used as a sentry post by the guards, and through the windows of the house you could clearly see five or six figures on horseback in the white snow, hurrying in the direction of the village.
The group was wearing uniform black armor, exactly the same as what Luo Yu had seen from the memories of the villagers' dead souls.
Longman looked at Luo Yu with a slightly admiring look and said, "It's a shame that Young Master Agares told us to be on guard in advance and not to light a fire, and now they don't know that we are in the village at all. ”
"We have an advantage over them in numbers, but we don't know what the strength of this group is..."
This outing, probably to avoid a recurrence of incidents similar to the last Daokanlin family, Baron Luff specially sent eight guards to protect Luo Yu, with an average strength of more than a seventh-level knight, and Longman, led by a strong ninth-level knight.
Longman immediately sent someone to inform the accompanying servants, the tax collector and others to hide in the house and not come out, and then led people to find a place to ambush, and divided two guards to protect Luo Yu and Bellive.
It seems that the enemy is secretly bound to win an ambush, and everyone is full of confidence in it.
But when the black-armored knights rode into the village, Luo Yu, who was hiding in a room and watching all this quietly, couldn't help frowning.
"Oops!"
Luo Yu practiced the "Chi Holy Demon Skill", and he was extremely sensitive to qi and blood.
Three of the six black-armored knights had the same vigor as Langman's, and the other three were even stronger than Longman, and one of them was even close to Luo Yu's own vigorous.
You must know that Luo Yu has already cultivated the "Chi Saint Demon Gong" to the second layer in the past half a year.
Half a year ago, his "Chi Saint Demon Skill" had not yet reached the first level of consummation, and he was already comparable to a great knight-level powerhouse, and now he has reached the second level, at least the strength of an intermediate knight or even a high-level knight.
In other words, the six black-armored knights that Longman and the others wanted to ambush were actually a group of three big knights with three ninth-level knights?!
When the difference in strength between the two sides is not large, the ambush may be able to achieve a miraculous effect, but the difference in strength is too large, and this behavior is undoubtedly self-defeating by hitting a stone with an egg.
Have you ever seen a sheep defeat a lions through ambush?
Seeing Luo Yu's frowns, Belif couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
The guards in charge of protecting the two were also puzzled, and before Luo Yu could explain, a battle had already broken out outside the house.
The black-armored knights should have come in search of food, and as soon as they entered the village, they consciously split up.
The two black-armored knights happened to be walking on the ambush route of Longman and the others, and as soon as they approached the house where Longman and the others were, Longman immediately rushed out with the guards.
Everything went according to plan, and the two black-armored knights were indeed taken by surprise, and one of them was even cut off by Longman's sword.
But as soon as the two sides fought, Longman's face suddenly changed color.
"Bastard!"
The black-armored knight who had been cut off by Longman scolded, scolding and scolding, got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and just now Longman sneaked up on his sword with all his might, only leaving a deep wound on his left arm, which hardly affected his combat effectiveness.
The other party forcibly tilted his chest at the moment of the sneak attack, so that Longman's sword that was originally towards his heart was not in danger.
"The Great Knight..."
Longman looked at his opponent, gasped, and spoke in a deep voice.
The latter just pulled out a sly smile at Longman.
When he was ambushed, he didn't even warn his other companions for the first time, but pulled out the long sword at his waist and began to slowly move his muscles, as if he was about to enjoy a fun game of cat and mouse.
At the same time, two of the five guards responsible for attacking the other black-armored knight had been cut down.
Their sneak attack posed no threat to the Black-Armored Knight, who cut off the head of one of them at the sight of it.
"Two Great Knights..."
Longman's tone was harsh, and his face had become very ugly.
"I'll slowly return this wound to you a hundredfold."
The black-armored knight glanced at the wound on his left arm and looked at Longman with a sneer, and the sword began to glow with a cold white light.
The black-armored knight slashed at Langman with a sword, and Langman panicked, and subconsciously raised his sword to resist.
But a vigorous surge came, only a "click" was heard, and the long sword in Longman's hand broke in two.
And he was also shocked backwards by the huge force, and the tiger's mouth cracked and bled out.
Longman's face was as pale as earth, and he had almost forgotten that unless he also reached the Great Knight level, or was a magic weapon blessed by the magic array, the invincible fighting spirit could easily cut through any steel long sword.
Now it's good, not only is there a huge difference in strength from the other party, but even the weapons in hand have been destroyed.
The black-armored knight stabbed with another sword, and Longman dodged with a very embarrassed movement, but there was still a long cut in his leg, and the blood flowed red with the snow beneath him.
The black-armored knight looked at him condescendingly with a playful gaze, and as he had just said, he planned to slowly torture Longman to death with one sword after another, in order to avenge the injury he had just been injured by the sneak attack.
At this time, the other black-armored knight had almost finished the guards, and Longman turned his head to see that the ground was covered with the corpses of his companions, and he couldn't help but show a deep look of despair in his eyes when he thought that there were still four black-armored knights in the village.
Who the hell are these guys? Why is the strength so strong? Even the Sachs of the Barony next door can't have such a powerful force...
Longman's heart was in turmoil, and before he knew it, he was slashed two more swords on his shoulders and abdomen.
The black-armored knight deliberately did not stab him in the vital point, wanting him to bleed to death slowly.
Longman could feel the temperature in his body drifting away little by little, but the desire to survive was still driving him to crawl forward, and in fact he didn't know where to flee.
After counting the swords again, Longman finally ran out of strength, and he turned around and looked at the black-armored knight behind him.
"Can't crawl?"
With a sinister smile on his face, the black-armored knight seemed to be a little tired, and he slowly raised the sword in his hand and aimed it at Longman's heart.
"Die."
Just as the long sword in the black armor knight's hand was about to fall, Langman's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked fixedly in the direction behind the black armor knight, his eyes were full of shock and astonishment, as if he had seen an extremely incredible scene.
The black-armored knight frowned and said coldly, "Poor technique! ”
He stabbed the sword without hesitation, intending Longman's life at once, but the next moment he felt a hand lightly resting on his shoulder, and then a piercing cold came from his neck.
"Poof..."
The black-armored knight's neck was cut through a narrow gap, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
When the body of the black-armored knight fell weakly, the person standing behind him was completely revealed, it was Luo Yu, who was holding a silver dagger and had a cold face...
