Chapter Eighty-Five: Into the Forest Again
After Jester finished speaking, and explained some things to be aware of to Gulha and the other soldiers, he led the rest of his men and horses to Salisbury, a barbarian-occupied territory to the northeast.
Gulha was not ambiguous, and he immediately discussed the battle plan with Kayilu and ordered his troops to continue their march.
The crisp sound of horses' hooves resounded on the suburban road, and the middle-aged man looked at the road ahead and said slowly:
"I apologize to you."
"What?" Kayiru looked at him with a confused expression.
"I didn't think you were coming." Gulha coughed lightly, a look of shame on her face, "Last night, those mercenaries left the city after handing over their mission, and I thought you would do the same. When I was at the tavern the day before yesterday, I agreed with you to meet at noon today, but I didn't tell you about today's expedition in time, but you still came here on purpose...... I heard from the captain just now that you went to investigate the siege of Warcraft yesterday, right? On behalf of the Lower Order, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your selflessness. As a knight, I even doubted the loyalty of my compatriots to the country. I'm ashamed of my foolishness......"
"It's okay, I don't mind that." Kayilu shook her head and sighed, "If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, maybe I would have done what you said......
If you don't know that Warcraft will threaten the safety of the people in this entire region, it will even affect the entire country. Kayilu didn't think she would make up her mind to join the operation.
You must know that the enemy is a fifth-order ancient demonic beast, and there are far more enemy troops than your own number.
What if I really die? If you don't become a king, you can't achieve your dreams.
However, if he chooses to flee here, Kayilu feels that he is not qualified to be a true king in the future.
A king is the one who rules the whole country and controls the fate of the people.
Can those who abandon the people and flee when the country is in trouble be able to convince the people to die for themselves and the country in the future?
Even in the most difficult situations, we must move forward and win.
This is the real king.
That's what Kailu thought. She waved her hand and continued: "Anyway, no thanks, compared to this, stopping the enemy from breaking the seal is the most important thing now, you will help me well, right?" ”
"Lord Kayiru." Gulha was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, please join us in the fight against the enemy." ”
……
Half an hour later.
A team of 100 people reached the edge of the forest.
Kayiru asked Gulha to order the troops not to enter the forest until she had finished scouting.
"Are you worried about a surprise attack?" Gulha asked, confused.
"Hmm." Kayiru nodded.
In this wide forest, there are places where ambushes can be set up, and if they are really attacked, their entire team will most likely be scattered, and then they will not be able to give full play to their numerical advantage. Therefore, every one of their actions must be meticulous and careful.
"Please be quiet for a while."
Kayilu reached out and took the pendant out of her pocket, closed her eyes, and poured her magic in.
As her magic drained, a mesh of red and blue appeared in her mind, forming a map projection within a 1-kilometer radius, marked with small black dots representing enemies.
Kairu keenly noticed that the forest was overgrown with bushes, and the more secluded places were covered with groups of black spots, and that there were now a hundred or so small black spots coming towards them from a fairly close distance.
Is there so many people on the other side!?
"They must have brought some troops from somewhere else." Noticing that the black dots were getting closer and closer, Kayilu quickly turned off her perception and immediately shouted, "Go north!" They're coming, more than two hundred! ”
"What?" Gulha's face changed slightly, "Can't you meet them here?" The terrain here is more favorable to us. ”
In grasslands or plains, it is easier for cavalry to take advantage of their speed, so it is customary to fight in the right terrain. If you enter the forest to the north, it will be difficult to move.
Kailu shook her head: "They've noticed us, and they're constantly reinforcing us, and they'll be worn out of all their forces here." ”
After listening to Kayilu's explanation, Gulha nodded and said sharply to his subordinates, "Do as she says!" Also, all of them are in a state of imminent battle! ”
The members of the squad immediately sprang into action, drew their swords from their scabbards, and urged their horses to march north, plunging headlong into the forest.
Shortly after they entered the forest, they heard heavy footsteps not far away, and they immediately realized that they had been outflanked.
Several armored rebel soldiers sprang out of the bushes, trying to intercept them.
These rebel soldiers were markedly different from the patrols Kayilu had met yesterday, not only in that they were well trained, but also in their weapons. They maintained a neat formation, spear of steel in their hands, and charged at the knights.
"Bastard!"
Gulha shouted angrily, and a stream of earth elemental air erupted from his whole body, and with a swing of his sword, the ground immediately seemed to be resonated, and a five- or six-meter-long hole was cracked, directly crushing the formation of this group of pikemen.
The rest of the knights took advantage of this opportunity to sprint and slash, reaping their lives, while not forgetting to keep going.
Kayilu was not very good at fighting on horses, so she had to follow the team to clean up the remnants, if it weren't for the fact that the machine sword in her hand didn't have the function of automatically returning to her hand when thrown out, she really wanted to use the machine sword's enemy seeking function to kill the enemy.
And, to make matters worse, her horse was running slower and slower.
After all, it is just an ordinary cargo horse, and unlike the war horses ridden by the knights, the bloodline is not so good, and the natural physical fitness is not so good.
It was already a little reluctant to be able to keep up with the galloping team just now.
"Oops." Kayilu looked around nervously, realizing that she might be left behind, or even break away from the group, so she immediately shouted to Gulha.
"Divide a group of people to me, we will divide into two roads, you are 3 kilometers ahead, turn right and hide in a place with a withered tree, where we meet."
The Dead Tree is a rare species in Britain, thick and thick, often growing to more than 10 metres tall. It is instantly recognizable even in the forest, making it ideal for marking.
The last time Kayiru visited, she had memorized the tree markings, so she didn't get lost.
"Understood." Gulha glanced at Kailu's horse, instantly understood the situation, and nodded, "Brown, Rokang!" The two of you lead the way with Lord Kayiru. ”
"Understood!" Two young knights answered.
"So, we're one step ahead." Gulha flicked the reins, "Whole army, to the right!" ”
The rest of the knights followed suit and quickly left the place.
Kayilu used the Sense Pendant again, and ran to the left with the group.
Ran almost 200 meters.
Seeing that the enemy was about to catch up, she immediately turned her horse's head and jumped off her horse.
"Stop, dismount and fight!"
