Section 25 The Price of Growth
In the middle of the battle, in the middle of the battle in this nameless valley mouth, a lucky horse bandit released an arrow to warn him and galloped towards the valley army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoCompared to the other two unlucky companions who were directly within the attack range of the 'Light Transmission Singularity', it was just because his mount was frightened and fell to the grass, and at the same time, he also realized that he was about to make a great achievement - there were decoys in the valley, and these 'lost' horses on the back were the main ones!
Ezreal's face was full of embarrassment, but she held on to the reins of Lux's mount to prevent her from turning around and getting into trouble with the bandits, who fired the alarm at the first moment, leaving them with only one way to flee frantically.
As for the reason for his embarrassment - being tied sideways to the belly of a galloping horse, his head and face constantly rubbing and rubbing against the horse's strong pectoral muscles, and wavy rapid gear shaking, all of which were close to his own death. As a result, Ezreal used his knife earlier than expected, cut the ropes that bound him tightly, and used the 'Arcane Jump' to jump accurately onto the back of the other horse.
But his spell also quickly revealed his own secrets, and the moment he appeared on horseback, he was already clearly seen by the horse bandits behind him. Luckily, Lux, who was in a state of invisibility, reacted with extraordinary agility, turned around on horseback and threw a 'light singularity' and detonated it, killing the first two people.
Ezreal tried to catch his breath as quickly as possible to recover from his groggy tremors, and the reins in his hand flicked anxiously urging Lux: "Go!" Reinforcements from the horse bandits will be coming soon, and even if you kill that guy, it's useless! ”
As smart as how Lux didn't know such a simple truth, it was only the delicate face that flowed with tears when she turned around that could explain her uncontrollable sadness.
A moment later, the sound of hooves came from far away from the valley, and in the shadows, the leading Saihan noticed the abnormality on the backs of the dozen or so military horses in the run, and it seemed that the situation had become interesting?
"Saihan Leader~~~ Run! The fat sheep is running! Immediately there is the woman in the blue dress! Finally, when the lucky horse bandit saw his 'own people' who had come to reinforce him, he shouted at the top of his voice from afar: "Quick, quick! Hurry up and inform... Ay! Stop, stop...... Boom, boom. ”
The lucky horse bandit, who was immersed in the illusion of making a great achievement, shouted for a few words, and noticed that the situation was not as he thought, and the 'reinforcements' Saihan and his party galloped towards his place without the slightest intention of slowing down. The lucky horse bandit, whose complexion had changed drastically, didn't have time to take action, a metallic light had already grazed his throat, and among the flying grass clippings, only his hands were tightly clutched around his neck, and the bloody wound was difficult to speak.
Saihan threw the whip in his hand above his head and said in a loud voice, "Brothers! The chance to make a fortune has come, let the golden tooth gnaw his bones properly! Ha ha! Follow me!! ”
Listening to the sound of hooves in the distance behind him, Ezreal clung to the reins of Lux uneasily, afraid that the overly grieving girl would do something stupid.
But he really underestimated the people of the Crown Guard family, "Senior." We don't need so many horses, so let's take advantage of the fact that the horse bandits are not chasing and can't see the situation clearly, untie half of them and let them run in the other direction, and confuse the horse bandits to buy us time! ”
"Ahh It's a good idea, it's Lux! So, are you okay then? ”
"I'm going to banish all the shadows here! Now, I will not waste the precious opportunity that Master Nietzsche and the soldiers of the Guards have won with their lives. "The experience of just half a day made Lux quickly grow from a carefree girl to a calm commander, and also made her understand what His Majesty was worried about at the beginning of the plan, the situation on the mainland at this time can be described as dangerous, and the mission plan must be completed!
Soon, Ezreal picked out the better horses and cut the reins of the rest with a knife. Sometimes I have to admit that the 'Arcane Leap' is a powerful tool for his archaeological expeditions in the year since he left the Academy, and Ezreal once again used the displacement ability of his skills to accomplish all of this.
"Boss Saihan, look! The fat sheep are separated! ”
"Shhhh Playing with Lao Tzu, they are still a little tender. Batu, Musin, take people up to carefully examine the hoof prints, and the ownerless livestock should disperse after not running a few steps. ”
"Boss Saihan, there is a girl on the left and right who is good with her, it is better to divide the troops to chase, this delay should let them run away."
"Phew! That blue-clothed magician girl is so evil, we thirty-odd people really have to break our teeth. Tell the brothers to be careful, don't carry the knife hard, the important thing is to kill those horses, and then play with them to death. ”
Saihan still has a lot of eyes, at this time, he suddenly came back to his senses, and now this little girl is running away, that is because there is still the threat of the little two hundred people of the Golden Tooth behind him, if he runs farther, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer.
"Chagan! Come here! Go to the 'house' and find a way to gather some more people to come over, damn, this time the trick is bright, don't TM to attract the evil dog like the golden tooth to Lao Tzu again. Understand?! ”
"Yes! Boss Saihan. ”
Saihan slowly paced the rest of his men to the place where Ezreal had divided his troops, waiting for the signal from the men he had sent before, his right hand grinding restlessly on the hilt of the sword, and the idea became more and more prickly.
'Whoosh~'
The agreed arrow signal came from Mu Xin's side, and Saihan waved his hand and galloped towards that side with his men.
With Torax's suspicious plan, and plenty of horses to exchange strength, the two had left their pursuers far behind. Because of the lack of manpower, they did not dare to divide their troops, let alone learn from Lux, and they could only squeeze out a limited number of horses and give them to the sentry to use, so that the sentry could follow the target, and the rest of the men and horses followed the mark left by the sentry while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Dusk had passed, and the horse bandits, who were unwilling to fight to the death, had limited success, and their progress was slow under the desperate insistence of the royal guards led by Master Nietzsche. In the end, it was only after desperate suppression using improvised smoke grenades and bows and arrows made of horse manure and hay that all the soldiers of the convoy were killed, but they still suffered heavy losses.
Just as Golden Tooth was instructing his men to count the results of the battle and search for the fish that had slipped through the net, there was a sudden uproar somewhere outside the valley, and then there were a series of arrows, but it was Master Nietzsche who was still looking for an opportunity to rush out of the valley under the injury, and fled to the depths of the grassland after killing people and seizing horses.
Gnashing his teeth, Golden Fang left a small number of men and horses to continue sweeping the valley, leading hundreds of his men to follow Master Nietzsche in the direction away from Lux and their flight.
