25. Mystic Army
The dull and disheveled sound of horses' hooves roared constantly, interspersed with occasional angry shouts, but the shouts were invariably replaced by screams soon.
It was a wooded area twenty miles outside the city of Fett, on what had been a quiet path, and at this time there were hundreds of horses neighing and besieging the city, and on the backs of these horses were all knights in silver armor.
The silver-armored knights were shouting and scolding, and the object of their whipping and cursing was not the robbers and robbers, but in the encirclement, a caravan of no small size, and the caravans, servants, and horsemen in the caravan gathered together in fear, all pale and daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
At a loss, they didn't understand why the Imperial soldiers, who were supposed to protect them, would turn against them.
There were dozens of wagons full of goods in this caravan, and the goods that had been neatly loaded had now been turned into a mess, and some small goods were spilled all over the floor, and even some of the wagons were damaged.
And the culprits were the infantry who came with the knights and were armed with spears.
They searched the carriages almost sparingly, and every time a new carriage came, they often didn't look at it all, poked it first, and then did something hand-in-hand when no one was looking.
In addition, the women in those ranks, as long as they were a little more attractive, would also be cheapened by these soldiers under the pretext of medical examinations, which made the women and their relatives indignant, as was the case with most of those who had been whipped for occasional shouting and scolding.
"My lord, the search is over, but nothing has been found......"
Outside the encirclement, a stubble-faced knight had just rushed to the side of a horseman, and before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the opposite person, and the force of the slap was so great that it even made the seemingly burly stubble knight's body stagger, and he almost fell off the horse's back, and his face was immediately swollen with a large patch, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, so he was not embarrassed.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! It's all waste!! ”
The knight who was slapped was beaten, but the man who beat the man was the first to get angry, only to see him stretch out his hand and point at the crowd around him and scold: "Such a small city! So many troops! Such a high wall! But you can let a few little bastards who have been crippled and dying long ago run away! You all grew up eating, didn't you? Look at you dogs! Seven days! It's been seven days! Let me tell you, if I can't find them again in the next two days, I, Mo Feng, will definitely peel your skin and drink your blood! ”
This person, it is precisely because of the sudden disappearance of Ash and the others that Mo Feng has become panicked and frightened, with scattered hair and bruised eyes!
He received the order of the adult above to kill Ash, Lei Peng, and Nana, thinking that it would be an extremely easy errand, but he didn't expect that under such a tight layer of defense, he could actually make the other party run!
The two on the other side, one is the prime minister of the empire and the grandson of the duke, and the other is the daughter of the patriarch of the Thor tribe and the great lord, even if he runs away at will, let the forces behind him know what he has done, not to mention that his position as the city lord and the title of viscount are all sitting at the end, and even this small life is 10,000% guaranteed!
What's more, now, he may have completely provoked those two behemoths!
Originally, as long as the murder of the deputy city lord Howard was framed on Ash and them, and then he killed people and killed them, and there was no proof of death, even if the news reached the ears of the adults on the two sides, no matter how much the other party hated him, he would be fine.
Because the empire is very strict about the crime of murdering officials, no matter how big the noble, as long as it involves this part, he will be severely punished by His Majesty the Emperor, and he is just strictly abiding by the laws of the empire and fulfilling the obligations of a city lord.
What he relies on is the laws of the empire, that is, the emperor, not to mention that there is still the lord above his head who is going around to protect him.
It's just that now, all the good plans have been confused by the sudden disappearance of Ash and the others, and even because he didn't find what the adults needed from Nana's body, he couldn't say for sure, if the incident happened, the adult who had always only had absolute interests in his eyes would condescend to help the lord of such a small border city as him!
How did they disappear in the city out of thin air, Mo Feng didn't know, he only knew that if he didn't want to lose his troops in vain at that time, causing too much panic to the celebrities, and didn't immediately disperse all the soldiers to search the whole process, the other party might not have disappeared so completely.
He really wanted to give himself a mouthful!
Mo Feng thought gloomily, a face that was originally handsome and majestic had completely changed into a different appearance under the torture of sleepless torture for several days, like a prisoner waiting to be slaughtered.
Just as he was about to give the order for the group to set off and continue their search along the predetermined route, a knight suddenly appeared at the end of the trail in the distance and galloped over.
"Lord of the Castle! Urgent! ”
The knight's face was flustered, and before the person reached Mo Feng's approach, he shouted in a hoarse voice, as if there was a hundred thousand urgent matters.
"Something went wrong again!"
Mo Feng, who knew that nothing was good, frowned when he saw this, and scolded very unhappily, seeing that the knight had already approached, he panicked: "Lord City Lord! The Lawrence invaded, and now it was less than a hundred miles east of the city! ”
"What ??"
Hearing this, Mo Feng's already pale face finally lost the last trace of blood.
…………
When Mo Feng hurriedly led his troops back to Fite City, less than ten miles away from them, in a quiet and verdant dense forest, there were ten figures hurrying around.
The leader is a girl, the girl is wearing a black close-fitting suit, but I don't know if it's because it's too hot or what, she deliberately flattened the front of the clothes, cuffs and trouser legs, revealing her sexy waist, slender arms and slender thighs.
She has a supple black short hair, tied into a short ponytail with a leather band, swaying from side to side behind her head, like a beating elf, and her skin is a healthy wheat color, such a complexion, although it does not match the mainstream aesthetic that is popular in the empire today, but it really embodies a unique wild beauty.
And what is somewhat incompatible with her healthy complexion is that the girl's appearance is extremely delicate and beautiful, although there is still a hint of heroism between her eyebrows, but she is definitely an out-and-out stunning person.
Although this place is located in the deep mountains and forests, there is nothing else around except for trees and flowers, poisonous insects, snakes and ants, there is no road for people to travel, and there may be a poisonous snake that eats people hidden under the side of the road.
But the girl walked as if she were walking on the ground, and at a glance she could see these traps laid by nature, as if this dense forest she had never been to was the back garden of her own home.
Behind her, among the nine figures closely followed, except for the three people who were the leader, there were two delicate beauties with very similar eyes and eyebrows, and the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes in front of the head, and the other six were all big men with the same color.
They are Ash and Nana.
Ash and the others recuperated in the shelter under the secret passage of Matt's house for five days, and until the evening of the fifth day, Loz did not go to see Ash, leaving only a sentence of 'I hope he will remember this', and then asked the butler Damon to take them to the secret passage leading to the outside of the city.
Although in such a short period of time, it is impossible to completely heal with ordinary people, like Johnson and their injuries, but with the amazing recovery and endurance of the soldiers, by now, they have recovered incredibly, if it weren't for the shocking scars on their bodies that are still so conspicuous, no one would believe that these guys who look alive and vigorous were still some dying injuries a few days ago!
"Hurry up, it's better during the day, and at night, it's impossible for us to spend the night in this forest full of poisonous snakes!"
Ahead, Nana slashed another clump of vines with a knife and turned around to urge.
Hearing this, Ash and the others glanced at each other, and each of them showed a slight wry smile on their faces.
Not counting Ash, the rest of Aina, Aidie, and Johnson and others are all fighters who are extremely physical and skillful, but it's okay to let them charge into battle, to cross this kind of steep and difficult wild road, it's not what they are good at, at this time, they were urged by Nana all the way, they also felt a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything no.
Look at Ash again, he is the most difficult to rush among the crowd, although there is always a reminder from Nana, but he still accidentally broke his ankle on the road, and was scratched on his arm and calf by an unknown kind of leaf, and the clothes that he had just changed into for a short time were also scraped by branches and shrubs, and compared with Nana in front, it really looked a little embarrassed.
Just a few seconds ago, he was tripped again, if it weren't for the love butterfly to help, he would definitely fall for the seventh time today, and now when he heard Nana start urging again, he said with some unhappiness:
"Miss Nana, can you slow down a bit? My men's injuries aren't healed yet...... And, are you sure that this direction is to the west? ”
Hearing this, Nana glanced at him with some disdain, and replied angrily: "Although I don't know what the origin of these subordinates of yours is, and how they can have such perverted resilience, I am sure that from the current point of view, among our group, the one who walked the longest and the most seriously injured was definitely your Young Master Ashie, as for whether it was going west...... Why don't we go our separate ways and see if you can get out on your own? ”
Ash's face flushed as he said this, and he was about to start his mouth to theorize when he saw Nana startle as she poked her head out of a bush, and then immediately lowered her body.
Seeing her like this, Ash and his men reacted quickly, and immediately bowed down in a similar manner, and when Ash cautiously touched Nana's side, he saw the latter make a silent gesture to him, and then carefully pushed the bushes in front of him away.
Ash looked through the small gap, but saw that less than five hundred meters away from them, there was a path that was not very wide.
But he was not at all happy that he had found a way out, for a mighty army was quietly moving along that path.
It was a very well-equipped force, full of infantry, five in a row, from this end of the field of vision to the end of the road, there were no people at all, and the armor on their bodies was sea blue, and it looked like a great river flowing silently.
However, despite the large number of the army, it was quiet like a group of ghosts, and if Ash hadn't listened carefully, he would have found that he couldn't even hear their footsteps
