Chapter 1308: Exploring the Wilderness (23)

The Red Spider Thieves are a long and notorious group of thieves in the history of Great Britain.

As the name suggests, they are as vicious as spiders and as tenacious as bed bugs, and they are difficult to kill completely.

This band of thieves is entrenched in the mountains and forests of the British wilderness, and is always haunting passing caravans. The Knights of Great Britain had sent troops to purge the bandits dozens of times, but often to no avail. At their best, the Knights thought they had wiped out the bandits, but they heard the news of the bandits' activity again years later.

This time, Daniel's unit was tasked with clearing out a branch of the Red Spider Thieves in the southeast—what should have been an easy mission, but it turned out to be more dangerous than initially expected. Because the head of the southeast branch of the Red Spider Thieves is an extremely cunning figure.

And now, the knights, who are besieged by the southeast branch of the Red Spider Thieves, are in a bitter battle.

Countless arrows rained down from all directions, and the knights had to turn on the shield generators on their armor to guard against them. But all they could do was defend, the jungle was so large and the terrain was so varied that the knights couldn't even find out where the person who fired the cold arrow at them was.

Puff, puff, puff. The sound of the electric field bursting came and went, and the shield blocked the sound of arrows. The knights' shields were so strong that ordinary (unenchanted) arrows could not penetrate them. But they are not invincible, because if they don't block a cold arrow, the shield will have energy loss, and if they consume, they will run out of power.

"Bastard," the Silver Knight Sir Stros snorted, "Let's get together and defend with shields!" The remaining five Black Iron Knights, including Daniel, were all in a back-to-back formation at Stroth's call. Half-kneeling on the ground, they removed the shield that was about to run out of energy, and instead raised their large shields.

Knock knock knock. The sound of the shield's electric field bursting was replaced by the sound of metal colliding on the shield. These well-enchanted shields are sturdy and do not require electricity to maintain, making them reliable against arrows.

But here comes the problem again. In order to defend themselves against the arrows in all directions, the knights had to get down on one knee and raise their shields head-on. This made it even more difficult for them, who were already unable to move, and they could only be beaten on the spot.

"Sir, I don't think this is a good idea" Daniel couldn't help it, and said, "It's better for everyone to disperse and drive away the enemies in the forest" "Hello! Now I'm the chief or are you the chief!?" Strass said angrily: "Everyone hold their ground, persistence is victory! No matter how dangerous and cunning these thieves are, they will eventually run out of arrows in their hands!" Daniel glanced at the arrows on the ground.

At the feet of the Black Iron Knight boy was a feathered arrow that landed on the shield and was bounced off. It had been lying on the ground for tens of seconds. However, its form is fading away, eventually disappearing as completely as air. Daniel looked at the corpse of his companion again, the Black Iron Knight who had been shot through the throat in the first place. The knight had dozens of iron arrows stuck in his body, but his armor was in tatters, with more than three hundred arrow holes, and he had obviously suffered more damage than the dozen iron arrows. But the other arrows didn't hit the body of the Black Iron Knight.

Is that really the case?

Although these iron arrows are not enchanted, they are magical. It is the most common magic technique used by elves to recover arrows, and it can be said to be a type of subspace magic. Arrows with this magic spell will automatically teleport back to their owner's quiver after a certain period of time, as long as they are not completely destroyed.

In other words, their enemies have an almost unlimited storage of ammunition. The rain of arrows they are facing will never stop.

It's not an option to stick to it here. Only by rushing out to kill the enemy can there be a way to survive.

But what to do?

Even if he told his captain, the grassy Stroth wouldn't listen. And Daniel is just a newly appointed Black Iron Knight, and he is also a little ghost, his actions are monitored by countless bigwigs from his superiors, once there is disobedience, he will definitely be chased and beaten by others, and if he doesn't do well, he will immediately lose his position as Black Iron Knight.

What can be done to survive this danger?

Just when Daniel was wondering, the situation suddenly changed dramatically. In place of the rain of arrows, there was a sphere the size of a human head in the air. As you can see from the parabola it draws, this thing is very heavy, heavy, and the lethality is estimated to be amazing!

"Bomb?!" Stroth's face turned pale when he saw the thing: "All personnel turn on the output of the shield to the maximum!!!" Daniel was shocked, and immediately flicked the controller on the breastplate to let the shield unfold. At the moment when the Knights opened the shield, the heavy bomb also fell!

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!—— explosion nearly deafened Daniel's eardrums. It was an incendiary bomb filled with gasoline, and it exploded on impact, causing a violent firestorm right above the knights' heads!!

For a moment, the surrounding scenery was filled with smoke and fire. The knights' shields may be good enough to withstand the blast, but the smoke is enough to make the knights dizzy, and the heat of the fire will penetrate their armor and burn their flesh!!

Daniel thought to himself. The current situation is indeed a huge crisis, but at the same time it is also a huge opportunity to let him live! He is not stupid, he knows that if he continues to obey the command of Stroth, this team will eventually be completely destroyed! Only by taking advantage of this smoke to rush out and gamble with his life can he have a chance of surviving!

Moreover, in this spreading smoke, Stroth can't see Daniel who has run away!

It took only a hundredth of a second for the young man to make up his mind, raising his shield and running in front of him.

It took him a few seconds to rush out of the range of the thick smoke, and all he was greeted by was a rain of arrows! The boy raised his shield to block without much thought, and dozens of iron arrows clanged down on the shield surface and were bounced off! A few arrows landed on Daniel's calf, but the enchanted bandage wrapped around the boy's leg played a certain protective role, although the iron arrow cut the bandage, it could not hurt Daniel's flesh!

In order not to let his companions behind him realize that he had broken away from the formation, Daniel ran silently and disappeared into the forest in an instant! He happened to see a thief drawing a bow and arrow behind a tree ten yards in front of him, so he went over and gave the fellow a sword without thinking!

The power of the lightsaber was so powerful that its blade pierced through the trunk of the tree and struck the thief in the chest!

Three more arrows were fired at Daniel's head. But the boy was agile, and he dodged the arrows with a single squat! He put away the blade of his lightsaber, hid half of his body in the grass, and began to grope his way slowly in the grass. His enemies know how to use the environment to sneak up on his team, and Daniel can also take advantage of it! After all, he has already fought countless battles with the monsters in a similar simulated training environment! And he fights alone! Compared to the cunning and dangerous monsters who can kill people in one hit, these thieves are simply not worth mentioning!

He silently remembered the direction in which the arrow was coming from, and groped for it, and sure enough, he found a thief hiding in a tree ten yards away in front of him!

Daniel cautiously pulled out a light gun and opened fire on the guy. The large-caliber light projectile is adjusted to the minimum output and becomes as small as a needle. This needle-shaped light bullet is usually almost lethal, and the knights' armor can defend it lightly. But Daniel shoots at a thief who is dressed in tatters and has no armor at all. So it hit the target lightly, with a headshot. The needle-like bullet of light plunged into the thief's head, instantly causing the villain's brain to bloom!

Daniel crawled away as soon as he finished firing a shot. He hid himself very well with the smallest output shot, but he couldn't guarantee that his location wasn't revealed! he crawled out of three yards and still couldn't see an arrow falling behind him, so he was comfortable tracking down his next target.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The low, quiet assassination continued, and Daniel's counteroffensive was very successful. The thieves focused on encircling and suppressing the group of knights, but they didn't expect that a fallen black iron knight boy was slaughtering their people! A minute passed, and twelve people had fallen in the bandits' encirclement, and the eastern side of the encirclement was actually facing disintegration!

And the group of British knights who couldn't stand the smoke also ignored the orders of their captain Stroth, and rushed out separately! After all, their own lives were at stake, and it was almost suicidal to continue to squat in the middle of the fire and continue to be smoldered by high heat!!

The Black Iron Knights rushed into the depths of the forest under the rain of arrows, but they stumbled, either sliding into the slippery woodland, or stumbling over the vines and branches, and could not move forward! Their equipment was already bulky and unsuitable for use in the dense forest, and of course fighting in the forest would be half the effort! Seeing the situation, the thieves knew that this was a good time to annihilate the knights, so they released their arrows even more desperately, and threw several incendiary bombs at the heads of the knights!

This group of unlucky black iron knights were attacked from all directions, and the protective shield was also invalid due to long-term use!
