Section 24 Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
"Retreat!"
It's not just that two fists are invincible, but Master Nietzsche made this decision because of the horse bandits that appeared behind the sentry, and many of them took out their bows and arrows and shot at the back of the sentry who turned around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although the armor of the soldiers specially made by the royal family of Demacia is difficult to penetrate at a certain distance, the horse bandits who are experienced in licking blood from the edge of the knife already know it when they shoot a few arrows, so they quickly switch the target of attack - the mount under the sentry's crotch cannot be equipped with armor like a heavy horse for a long journey, and in the blink of an eye, it has been hit by several arrows, and it is so painful that it turns over and falls to the ground.
Countless horses' hooves followed, mercilessly stepping on the sentries of the convoy who had fallen to the ground and were struggling to get up, this was the most traditional way of fighting for the steppe peoples, and it was not just swords made of metal that could kill the enemy.
There was no more time to grieve at the death of their comrades, and the red-eyed soldiers turned their horses' heads as fast as they could, and pounced with their swords on the 'herdsmen' who were also on their horses not far behind. How could these disguised horse bandits be tough with their outlawed enemies, screaming and feeling out their bows and arrows and scattering in twos and twos, not trying to block the way, but only stealing cold arrows within the range of the bow and arrows to interfere with and attack the mounts of the people.
The escort soldiers are also the elite of a hundred battles, and they are ready to use the broken tail method to expel the four evil wolves at the first time, and before the four decisive soldiers accelerate out, a blue figure has already jumped out first, and the cloak that was originally blown by the wind and affected the speed has already fluttered and landed to the ground.
'Singularity' and 'Binding of Light', as two beautiful rays of light flashed, the four horse bandits with bows and arrows fell to the ground before they could draw strings, entangled with the terrified mounts, and then from time to time there were miserable cries of pain - being kicked by the horses' hooves was really either dead or maimed.
Everyone beat their horses and galloped forward for dozens of meters, and the ambush soldiers at the hill had already poured out, and from a distance, hundreds of men and horses were chasing after them murderously, and the ambush soldiers at the wolf howl had also appeared, and the shadow was more than a few people.
Along the way, the guards kept discarding useless things on their bodies, cloaks, blankets, extra rations and water, spare clothes, etc., but they were still chased closer and closer by the horse bandits. In addition to the gap in riding skills with these men who grew up on horseback, there are also a lot of ground type factors, looking at the flat grass from a distance, but there are different shades of ground drop traps, if you don't pay attention to stepping into it, it will definitely be the end of people turning over on their backs.
Even if the convoy is in a hurry, they don't dare to take a step beyond the arc, but the bandits can use their experience to cross certain shortcuts during the day to close the distance, and if it weren't for the delayed explosion ability of the 'Transparent Singularity' from time to time to scare the mounts of the pursuers or take down a few unlucky ghosts, the horse bandits would have chased them into the range of the bow and arrow.
"It doesn't work! Their arrogance must be beaten! They must be inflicted more damage, the horse bandits value money is their life, and they can hardly afford to lose a lot of manpower! ā
"That's right, young man, but do we look like caravans or rich aristocrats? I don't know why, but the bandits' target is definitely us, not money. Now we need you to take us to find a place where we don't have to worry about beating them! ā
"Master, this! Well, let me think! ā
This is too much of a luxury for the stormy plains, surrounded by vast grasslands, low hills that are useless under the threat of enemy bows and arrows, and once easily stopped and surrounded by horse bandits, it is impossible to escape.
After a moment, Ezreal replied, "We can only insist on going back to the valley of yesterday, which is the only favorable terrain in the vicinity that I know of. Thanks to the rainstorm in the morning, I think we'll be there soon. ā
"That's the place of death, senior! They just need to block the valley pass, and then slowly mobilize reinforcements, and maybe there are more powerful horse bandits on the way? ā
The military gap between Lux and Ezreal is as great as the gap between them in archaeology, and Ezreal's proposal was rejected before it could be cooled.
"Miss Lux, legend has it that you are good at certain little tricks that allow you to hide yourself?"
"Yes, Master Nietzsche?"
"Young Mr. Guide, what about you? Is there anything you can do to hide yourself? ā
"That...... Hiding probably can't be done, I can only disappear for a short time, uh, and then move a little distance briefly......"
"Sounds good, Mr. Guide, how are your horsemanship?"
"Uh...... I don't think it's better than you, but I don't actually need to have more contact with the mounts in my day-to-day exploration, and there are places where the mounts are difficult to get to......"
"Okay then, then I'll have to grieve you."
In the afternoon, I rode into the three-hour journey, and at this time, forty minutes at a gallop, the small valley was already in sight.
"Miss Lux, please follow the plan. We will rush to the agreed place in Bandel City to meet you as soon as possible, if you don't arrive after the time, please focus on the Kingdom mission, and we will welcome you back in Demacia! ā
"Master Nietzsche!"
Lux's voice choked, this is completely a plan to send him to death, the so-called agreement, rendezvous, greeting or something, is a beautiful fairy tale.
"Miss Lux, this is the only viable plan. Although the contents of this mission are not yet known, His Majesty's entrustment should not be let down lightly, and I hope that you will fulfill His Majesty's prudent entrustment. And the duty of a soldier is up to us, and I'm glad to be with you all the way, take care. ā
After a carefully chosen route, the group was just able to pass through the valley pass, and only needed to slow down a little as they passed the valley pass, and the group quickly dismounted and galloped into the valley to prepare for the garrison, and the twelve horses without their masters were huddled together and continued to run away at a slow speed.
"Hey, hey! It's really looking for death, it's good! Brothers, dismount! A reward of 10 gold for killing one person, and a reward of 100 gold for capturing that blue-robed girl alive! Haha, completing the task so easily is also inseparable from the credit of the Saihan brothers for mastering the whereabouts of the target. ā
Horse bandits, numbering nearly two hundred, blocked the valley in front of the valley under the leadership of a leader with large gold teeth in his mouth, and other groups of loose horsemen surrounded the small valley in all directions, so that the cooked ducks would not fly away from somewhere. Two or three other horsemen turned and chased after the empty horses on their backs. These are all excellent military horses, and they have been chased by them for so long without foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground, and this is the moving gold coin.
"Ahh
With a scream, the tragic offensive and defensive battle began, and Master Nietzsche led the remaining nine elite soldiers of the royal family to use the valley type to fight with the horse bandits.
Just when the face of the leader of the horse bandits and golden teeth was getting worse and worse, the men who were chasing the ownerless war horse in the distance shot arrows for help. It's really a maggot to raise these lazy guys, and they can't do anything well!
"Brother Saihan, I only have to trouble you to run this trip for my brother, and look at my brother and my few stupid fools."
"Hmph, let's go!"
With the whistle of the leader of the 'herdsmen' that Master Nietzsche had seen in the valley before, more than thirty of his subordinates followed Saihan closely, all of them were indignant, the golden teeth were too hateful, and the scattered horsemen who had arranged to surround the valley were also Saihan's subordinates, and now they sent the rest of the people to catch horses, obviously wanting to monopolize the bounty provided by the 'noble guest'.
Greedy guys, we'll see!

I'm really sorry for making up yesterday's chapter. When I came back from a business trip, I was super tired, and then I had something at home on the weekend, and I tried to hit 5 explosions in the next week, so I would like to thank my book friends for their support!
