Outside the town of Prailly, Xuanyuan Manor.

The gates of the manor opened, and twelve fast horses galloped out.

"According to Count Kasya's plan, the troops retreating from the Ruhr village will assemble with reinforcements from other surrounding villages in the fortress 'Minoburg' in the southern part of the Prairly Territory to defend against the invading centaur tribe." Li Xiang galloped his horse while explaining to the three companions beside him. "The messenger sent to inform Lord Neo's troops in Dink Village is expected to have the message coming soon. When the time comes, Jin Zi and Dapeng will also rush together. We also have to go to pick up Qianyu and them to support Xiaojing. Remember - the centaur tribe that broke through the Ruhr village looks like it's not easy, so be careful! ”

"Got it!" The accompanying Sun Xiaoyu, Lu Yu, and Han Xiao agreed one after another. Then the four of them set out on their way to Fort Mino.

Meanwhile......

On the road leading from Prailly Town to Dink Village, a large group of men and horses marched rapidly. Although Shi Jinxin and the others were anxious to go to Ruer Village to rescue their comrades in crisis, they did not have many mounts, and they could not allow all eight of them to change horses and continue to march quickly, so they could only reluctantly march with Lord Neo, LunaMaria, Meiling and others' Rogge Knights troops.

Inside the Château de Prailly. Kasha personally led a dozen knightly subordinates and four hundred knight sergeants on standby at the castle to Minoburg. Due to the large number of people and horses, the speed is much slower than that of Li Xiang and the four people who are simply dressed and lightly ridden.

Lena Village. After instructing Zhou Si to cooperate with Flavi to stay behind in case another centaur attacked, Liu Tianyu rushed to Luer Village with Mi Zhansong and Yang Lixue. With Liu and Mi using their aura skills to accelerate, although the three of them only rode one horse (only) each, their travel speed was also extremely fast.

Although the village of Ruhr was breached by the centaurs, thanks to Luo Xu's ability to light the beacon in the village and give a timely warning, the troops stationed in Prairly were able to arrange defenses and deploy manpower to support in time. According to the established arrangement, after the southern defense line of the territory has been breached, the reinforcement force will assemble in the area of Minoburg to establish a second line of defense. Therefore, the various support units were also assigned to Minoburg according to the established plan.

And the first person to arrive at Minoburg was Yang Qianyu, who was the first to set off after learning that Xue Xiaojing and his party were in distress.

After galloping into Minoburg, Yang Qianyu encountered some of the villagers who had withdrawn from Ruhr Village and the Rogge Knights who were escorting them. After inquiring about the situation with the knight who led the team, Yang Qianyu learned that Xue Xiaojing and the four did not withdraw with the large army as soon as possible, but blocked the centaur together with some of the Rogue Knights sergeants who were stranded in the village, providing time for the evacuation of the army and civilians.

"And what about their current situation?" Yang Qianyu asked anxiously.

"......" The knight who was asked looked worried, hesitated for a moment before he said: "According to the plan, the blocking force can retreat after blocking the centaur tribe for at least three hours, and now the time has passed. Although many brothers have retired one after another, more than half of them are still unheard. Including Ms. Xue Xiaojing and other four people......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the castle, and Yang Qianyu heard that the direction of the commotion was leaning in the direction of the Ruer Village, and hurriedly climbed the lookout to look into the distance. I saw a few figures stumbling in the distance of the road, one by one with a vague gait, obviously tired to the extreme.

"It's our people!" Later, the knight who climbed the lookout also saw the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly greeted the sergeant at the door. "Open the door! Bring the brothers back! ”

The thick door of hardwood clad iron opened, and several figures rushed out of the castle to meet the visitors, and the two of them set up several visitors one by one and ran back to the castle together.

"Your Excellency!" A sergeant hurried up to the lookout to report to the knight leading the team. "The four brothers who returned were the seventh team (the Rogge Knights were all in a thousand people, one team for every hundred), and their injuries were not light, but they were not fatal."

"Let the doctor in the castle heal their wounds!" The knight hurriedly ordered.

"Yes!" The sergeant received the order and walked away quickly. Yang Qianyu also jumped off the lookout and rushed to the retreating people and asked them about the situation in Ruer Village.

"We were entangled in a group of centaurs as we retreated. In the end, it was the three ladies who helped us out. One of the fighters, who was slightly injured and had not yet lost his strength and was unconscious, said: "They told us to go first, saying that they would leave when they found their companions." ”

"What do those three people look like? What outfit to dress up? Yang Qianyu asked.

"Black hair and black eyes, one in a power suit and using a javelin, the other two in mage costumes with a staff, and two giant wolves following them."

"It's Guo Qi, Shen Huan and Luo Xu!" Yang Qianyu immediately judged the identities of the three people when he heard this, and was overjoyed when he learned that the situation of the three people was still good, and then he was in a state of mind that Xue Xiaojing's situation was unknown.

"How long ago was this?"

"About an hour and a half or so."

"One and a half hours ......" Yang Qianyu thought quickly in his heart - Ruhr Village is not close to Minoburg, and it takes more than an hour for these people to reach it on foot while injured. If I go quickly, I may be able to meet the four girls in time!

Thinking of this, Yang Qianyu glanced at the direction he came from. Seeing that there were only two riding horses with him after he set off, and they were already sweating like rain and foaming at the mouth, he was obviously exhausted and unable to drive.

"I have to go on foot." After Yang Qianyu made a decision, he jumped over the castle wall in a few vertical leaps. Amid the exclamations of the crowd, he hurried on foot in the direction of the Ruhr village.

－

Inside the Ruhr village.

Xue Xiaojing dodged to avoid a spear that stabbed her, and at the same time she swung her blade and slashed diagonally, slashing the centaur warrior who pierced her with a spear from her left shoulder to her right crotch in two. Then, with a shake of his left hand, he threw three energy poison daggers at the 'Shadow Strike', pointing at the three centaurs who rushed sideways.

One of the toughest of the three centaurs, the Centaur Warrior, shielded himself with an axe shield to block the energy dagger that flew at him. Although it did not suffer any damage, the strong impact force also knocked its body to a standstill, and its charging posture was interrupted.

The other two centaur warriors who accompanied the action were not so good at resisting Xue Xiaojing's attack. One of the centaur warriors didn't even make a dodge motion, and the flying energy dagger pierced his heart, killing him instantly with the piercing force of the dagger and the accompanying burst of poison. The other centaur warrior reacted alertly and quickly flashed sideways, and the energy dagger pierced his shoulder, and even the centaur warrior was seriously injured and fell to the ground in an instant, although he was not dead, he was powerless to fight again.

After Xue Xiaojing's three moves, the 'Shadow Raid', the three centaurs who rushed in were killed, injured and blocked, but more centaurs also took advantage of this to surround them. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Xiaojing jumped back and hid in several adjacent wooden houses, using the buildings in the village to separate the siege of the centaurs and wait for opportunities to break through each one.
