74. Adjutant Jenny
At sunrise, the sun shone obliquely into the forest, and a lonely figure swept through the light filtered by the trees, followed by a group of dwarf figures.
Cavalry B fled in a panic, making a gasp of jolting armor and breathlessness, and moved from the slope to the bottom.
Behind him, a group of hideous-looking goblins, wielding their weapons, threw rocks and spears in pursuit of him.
"Don't take it too seriously, don't take it too seriously," the samurai shouted as he walked behind the goblin, "The battle just now was really boring, at least let me see a close fight, of course, bloody and cruel, and then we left this place, it wouldn't seem like a trip south in vain." ”
After killing Cavalry A, the samurai did not immediately execute Cavalry B, but drove him off his horse and gave him half a minute to escape.
But he was exhausted by turning back one after another, dodging the weapons thrown by the goblin minions.
"Damn, at least if you have a sword, you can still find a way to knock out some short spears..."Not surprisingly, Cavalry B's long sword was also taken away, and now there is only armor left on his body that will bring heavy loads, which is very cumbersome.
The good thing is that the armor keeps him at bay with stonethrows and short spears, which increases the survival rate of a lot of escapes.
The good times didn't last long, and the ankle armor was already the second hit.
"Click~"
The short spear broke through the calf armor and sparked into Cavalry B's ankle, causing a sense of weakness and sharp pain to flood his body.
"Ugh! He gritted his teeth patiently, but he still couldn't recover his leaning body, and he fell to the ground, rolling downhill for several laps before stopping.
"Huh~ Didn't you say that you shouldn't aim too accurately?" The samurai covered his face in disappointment, and then reluctantly crossed his waist with one hand, "Forget it, it's okay, we have to hurry when the aftermath is over—back to the king's side." ”
The head of the cavalry armor hit the ground rock during the tumbling, causing the helmet to skew, directly tearing off his tether and the helmet fell off.
It seemed to have brought him some concussions. Coming back to his senses, Cavalry B found himself lying on the ground in his field of vision, and a blur of several pairs of little green feet approaching him.
His vision did not recover from the faintness, he tried to get up, but his hands slipped uncontrollably, and his sense of balance was difficult to regain... But he forgot that his calf had been pierced by a short spear.
"Hmm..." Cavalry B gritted his teeth, sat on the ground and crawled his hands and kicked his legs continuously, and the desire to survive exploded to the limit at this moment.
I never thought that the speed of the creeping would be so fast, and even then, it was not as fast as the goblins.
After listening to the samurai's second order, the goblin stopped throwing his weapon at Cavalry B, but surrounded him with a short-handled axe, mace, and bone club, no doubt to attack them all—not a fatal blow to the head to the strong armor.
"Ahh ... Stay back!! Cavalry B let out a cry of pleading in grief, and although he knew it was useless, he had no choice, "Who, who's going to save me!" Commander Rodney——! ”
The goblins were already six or seven paces away from him, and the ferocious expressions they had been chasing before now turned into a sneer, admiring the horror of the Terrans... I gradually understood why the samurai were interested in this.
There was no war against the Terrans going south before, only a small number of past merchants were plundered, and they were all killed directly, and it was rare to look at a high-minded Terran soldier like now, and the great contrast made a cry of fear.
"Adjutant Jenny——! Adjutant Rupert ——! "Not only to the commander, but Cavalry B began to do his best to recall the impression of all the reliable people in the ranks.
"Ha Ya ——!" The goblins who arrived first waited no longer and raised their rusty maces, which would not be fatal but would inflict severe damage on the enemy.
"Whoa—"
The black shadow of the bolt almost grazed Cavalry B's ear, piercing the back of the goblin's mouth and falling to the ground.
Frightened, Cavalry B took a short breath and turned back, and the goblins in front of him couldn't help but look over there at the same time.
It is a female Terran, also wearing armor and helmets, flapping her legs on the horse's flanks to accelerate, and also operating a crossbow in her hand, and a new arrow wound - aiming.
"Adjutant Jenny!" Cavalry B was pleasantly surprised, although he was not saved, the experience of his life hanging by a thread had already made him smile that he had turned the corner.
"Squeak!" Regular goblins spot new enemies and send a warning cry to the rear, while ranged units re-raise their spears and spin throwing stones.
But before the goblins could throw, Jenny pulled the trigger, and the crossbow shot the goblin who nearly threw a spear, because its spear was faster than a spinning stone for a class.
After shooting the arrow, Jenny even leaned over the saddle and dodged the other short spears and flying stones with great equestrian movements.
"Stupid guys, attack her horses!" The centurion complained, and was about to give the order, but was stopped by a samurai with an outstretched hand.
"Oh? This one seems to be more durable than the two weak Terrans just now. The samurai uttered an amused voice, and as he drew his sword, he said to the centurion beside him, "Let them not do anything, I will come myself." ”
The centurion obeyed, his hands in front of his mouth, and he yelled at the bottom of the hillside, an order for the retreat of the former army that ordinary goblins could understand.
Most of them did so, but a few of them could not get out for the time being, and they were right in front of Cavalry B, and Jenny had already arrived on horseback.
The neat and lithe figure jumped off the horse's back, and drew the sword at his waist in mid-air, the reflection of the sword body towards the eyes of the goblins.
Jenny landed on the whirling slash, and the wandering sword path even bypassed the enemy's weapons, leaving not a single scratch on the goblin's short-handled blade, and accurately hit each of them in the throat and chest, killing the few goblins who surrounded Cavalry B and wanted to leave in one fell swoop.
"It's okay... It doesn't look like it's fine..."Jenny shook the blood on the sword, and the special sword body instantly returned to white, and at the same time turned back to ask Cavalry B, and denied herself after seeing his leg injury.
"Adjutant Jenny... You couldn't have come at a better time! Cavalry B's tears of excitement fell down in large numbers.
"Isn't it when you are moved, when you crawl? Climb on my horse as soon as you can, the threat of the enemy is still there..."As she spoke, Jenny was also wary of the goblins, who all retreated, why didn't they throw their weapons like before?
"How are you alone? What about Rodney Commanders and Troops? Cavalry B raised his hand with all his might, intending to lead the horse's rope.
"The commander and the troops are resting in place, and I am in charge of going out to find your traces, and I just happened to hear your cries for help." Jenny stepped forward and pulled the leash off for him, but didn't take it.
Out of warrior instinct - to sense the killing intent coming from the atmosphere.
"Huh!?" Jenny's eyes widened and she saw a swift shadow shuttling between the retreating goblins, rapidly approaching her.
"Huh—"
Suddenly, sparks flew in front of Jenny's eyes—the samurai's sword had joined her blade.
So fast!
Jenny reacted inwardly, this tall guy in front of her is a goblin!?
"Can you see my movements?" The samurai smiled, not rushing to pull away for the second blow, "Although that's only a quarter of my speed, you don't seem to be the same as the Terran soldier I just killed, can you see my movements?" ”
Disturbed by this weapon fight, Jenny's horse took a few steps back and opened up the distance between her and Cavalry B.
