Chapter Eighty-Six: Bad Things
With a command from Kayilu.
The knights immediately jumped off their horses and met the enemy with their swords.
In order to protect the safe entry of the large army into the forest, only a few people can be left to block the enemy and delay the time for the large army, and the knights understand the girl's orders so well.
However, after killing some of the enemy and having a little time to catch his breath, Kayilu immediately shouted again: "Retreat!" ”
The knights were stunned for a moment, had to mount their horses again, and began to run.
"Lord Kairu, ...... you" The knight captain named Brown looked at the girl suspiciously, "If you're going to hold them back, please give us a little more time!" ”
"Who said they were going to hold them back." Kailu puffed up her chest in disapproval, "As long as we can provoke their anger and make them lose their cool." ”
"What?"
The rebel soldiers, who had just been fighting with the knights, saw their prey run away, and immediately turned red with anger and bit the back of the team.
In their opinion, the group of people in front of them was so imposing, but now they fled in such a hurry, needless to say, they must have suffered a lot of damage and were afraid, otherwise how could they retreat so decisively? If you don't exterminate them at this time, when will you wait!?
"Chase! Don't let them run! A man who looked like a commander in the rebels shouted.
They focused their attention on the squad of more than 20 people, and while chasing, they used magic items that could communicate over short distances to inform the other companions in the forest to intercept the group of knights.
"Okay, speed up!" Kayilu clamped the horse's back and pulled the reins to speed the horse to run.
During the battle between the knights, Kailu tried to feed the horse a potion of stamina she had bought at the item shop, and while it was unclear how effective the potion would be on the animal, if it did, it would allow it to run at full speed for at least five more minutes.
"This way, this way." As Kayilu ran with the group, she looked back to see if the enemy was following them, and when she was done, she glanced up at the trees not far away, the corners of her mouth curled.
Everything went as planned.
The girl thought to herself.
"Attention everyone! Enemy troops appear in front of you, rush over! ”
"Understood!"
As soon as the knights' voices fell, dozens of rebel soldiers ran out of sight as the girl said.
With longbows in hand, they rained down arrows at Kailu's ranks.
At the same time, the rebel soldiers who were chasing them behind were also approaching this side, apparently to surround the troops.
"Defense!"
Seeing this, Cavaliers captain Brown and Luo Kang said in unison.
These knights are all good at using swords, and they can also use battle energy, and in the face of a continuous stream of arrows, they rely on their keen intuition to dodge, and burst out of battle qi, intercepting them with their swords. But even so, their speed slowed down, after all, the war horses would also be disturbed to a certain extent.
Just as the rebels in the rear were about to touch the King's army, they heard a roar, and a group of knights in armor ran out of the woods not far away, leaning like a torrent, and they stabbed into the rear of the rebels with their swords in their hands, disrupting the rebels' formation and tearing a hole in the crowd.
The rebel units were immediately thrown into disarray.
"Where did these people come from!?"
"Bastard! Anti, fight back, ah......! ”
"Where's the commander......? We can't stop it! ”
They originally relied on suppressing the equipment of the cavalry to deal with the enemy, and their individual strength was no stronger than that of the knights, and in the face of the chaos caused by the sudden attack, they instantly greatly reduced their combat effectiveness.
"Kill!"
Gulha ran at the front, and with the inertia of rushing forward, he cut off the head of a rebel soldier.
This was the place where Kayilu had agreed with him, and as soon as he saw that the enemy was within striking distance of his own attack, he immediately understood Kayilu's strategy, and when the enemy was deep and had his back to them, he led his troops hiding in the grass to attack.
The situation of this battle can be said to be one-sided, the cavalry had a natural advantage over the infantry itself, the enemy army fell into chaos again, and it did not take long for this group of hapless rebel soldiers to be swept away.
The archers who tried to surround Kailu were all wiped out after a wave of charges.
"Report to the deputy commander, the enemy is completely destroyed."
"We slightly injured 10 people, and there were no dead people."
After listening to his subordinates' reports, Gulha nodded.
He glanced at the corpses of the enemies around him and sighed sadly.
Although the king's army and the rebels are not in the same place, the other party is also compatriots, and such an ending is inevitably sighing.
"So what's next, Lady Kayaru."
Through what happened just now, Gulha already had a lot of trust in the girl, so he specially asked the girl's opinion before leaving.
Kayiru said as she applied potion to the wound on her hand, "...... Of course, keep moving, enemy, I just looked, there is no longer in this vicinity for the time being, as long as we are fast, we should be able to meet the rest of the enemy army and reach the dungeon. ”
"Are your wounds alright?" Gulha asked, a little worried.
"It's okay, it's just a recurrence of an old injury." Kayilu forced a smile.
In fact, most of the wounds on her body were left over from yesterday's battle, and it was certainly impossible to heal after only one day of recuperation, but instead of recuperating from her injuries, she was riding a horse and fighting again, and the wounds that had not healed for long immediately collapsed again.
"Alright." Kayilu changed her straps and cheered up, "Go ahead." ”
……
The procession galloped through the bushes.
Half an hour later.
The group reached the vicinity of the dungeon.
On the way, they were fortunate not to encounter any more enemy obstacles.
But when they arrived at their destination, they were stunned by what they saw.
This clearing is home to an ancient temple in the Oriental style.
A blood-red magic array shrouded the clearing, and a black ominous cloud of smoke floated above the temple.
However, unlike yesterday, there was no breath of anyone in the vicinity, and the strange sacrifices and props had disappeared without a trace.
In the empty meadow, there was no one except the knights of the Order and Kayiru.
"Is this it?" Gulha frowned and looked at the eerie oriental building in front of him.
"yes, this is it." Kayiru nodded, "It's just ......"
The girl looked around suspiciously.
It's weird.
She had expected to meet a large number of rebel soldiers, as well as yesterday's black-robed man, and then go through a bitter battle that would even cost her her life.
But there's no one here, what's going on? Aren't they afraid of outsiders getting in the way?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, so she took out the pendant and closed her eyes.
A map appeared in her mind, and she looked closely, and found that there were indeed no enemies around, even the nearest patrol was two kilometers away, and it would take at least twenty minutes to get here.
Kayiru was trying to explain the situation when she heard a low roar in her ears, and the ground shook violently.
The roar was like a giant beast roaring, and it was terrifying.
"What's going on!?" The knights exclaimed in surprise.
They immediately drew their knightly swords, steadied themselves, and scanned their surroundings alertly.
But they didn't see anything, and it wasn't until they looked at the ancient temple in front of them that they were surprised to find that the sound of a beast roaring was coming from the inside of the ancient temple.
"Kayiru-sama, what is this?" Gulha immediately looked at Kayilu and was about to ask what was going on, but when he noticed the girl's mouth growing in shock, he realized that the girl didn't know anything about it.
He immediately ordered his men to patrol the surrounding area.
"This, how can it be ......"
Kayilu opened her mouth in surprise and muttered incredulously. She was surprised not only by the roar in her ears, but also by the images in her head.
There were obviously no hostile creatures in the vicinity just now, but after the sound sounded, hundreds of small black dots appeared directly in front of the place where they were standing.
That means they have hundreds of enemies in front of them!
Where is the enemy?
Kayiru looked ahead, but there was still no one in front of him, only an ancient temple.
The walls of this ancient temple are slowly cracking with the vibration at this time, and even the vermilion paint on the gate is constantly falling.
Could it be ......
"I can only think about it, otherwise I can't explain the situation." Kayiru thought angrily.
Generally speaking, perception skills cannot detect the inside of the dungeon from the outside, because the dungeon has a seal, and the building as a whole is wrapped in a layer of magic walls that isolate energy, so it is impossible to penetrate the magic wall of the dungeon outside, and understand the situation inside, if you want to detect the magic beasts in the dungeon, you must use the skill directly in the dungeon, and if you can perceive it outside, it will probably only be when the seal is about to disappear.
“…… In other words, it won't be long before it's over. Kayilu's eyes darkened.
"Report to the deputy head of the regiment! No enemy troops were found around. A knight searched the clearing and ran to report to Gulha, "but there is something unusual in one place." ”
"Where?" Gulha asked.
"The magic circle near the building is slowly disappearing. And, the black fog above is spreading. ”
"What!" Gulha looked around in confusion and said with a frown, "What the hell are these barbarians going on, do they plan to remove this magic array?" ”
"Quite the opposite." Kayilu suddenly said, "Their goal has almost been achieved. ”
Kayilu then told Gulha of her speculation.
The middle-aged knight's eyes widened when he heard this, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.
"You mean to say that the ritual has actually been completed?"
"Yes." Kayiru nodded.
"I see, the sound I just heard should be the roar of the tree god Sigma." Gu Erha's brows tightened, "I've read it in the book, it's indeed a terrifying roar." But...... In other words, now is the last chance? ”
If you don't kill the enemy before the seal is broken, when it escapes, this area will become a breeding ground for it, and the lives of countless people will become its nourishment.
By that time, it will be too late to think about defeating the enemy.
"Do you need to hesitate?" Kayilu snorted coldly and said, "Let's go to the dungeon." ”
