239.Chapter 239
When Roddy rushed to the last group of enemies with the cavalry regiment, these completely lost fighting spirit scattered and fled without any suspense, and even lost the courage to fight...
The swaying trees stopped swaying, and the vine-wrapped soldiers on the ground stopped struggling, while the Templars, who had just cheered Roddy's name, stood still, silently turning their gaze to the young man who had broken through the three layers of defense in order to save them.
"Three minutes to rest, then set off. Roddy looked at the Templars who were tied with ropes around them, and pointed behind him in a calm tone, "We still have a battle to fight." ”
Following the direction of Roddy's finger, the knights could faintly see groups of soldiers coming from the outskirts of the town.
After breaking through the enemy's three lines of defense, Roddy, who gave the order so calmly, really made the knights feel an indescribable shock, and they felt more in their hearts, but it was Roddy's tenacious belief that he would not abandon anyone.
No amount of generosity could compare to Roddy's crisp and neat actions - perhaps some knights had complained about Roddy before, but from this moment on, both the captured and the temple guards who supported with the team were completely convinced!
The rope was cut, Akasha's "recovery technique" fell on her body, and bottles of potions were stuffed into her hands—these knights looked at the horses that were being led, and reached out to hold the weapons hanging from the saddles, and they all felt an inexplicable excitement...
They never imagined that the moment of counterattack would come back so quickly.
Fat Henry was taken aback by the value it represented as he took the potion. As a mercenary, he had the right not to participate in such a battle, but after unscrewing the cap of the bottle and drinking the potion, he silently made a decision, turned on his horse, and joined the team without saying a word.
On the other hand, Roddy and Brudy's conversation was brief and meaningful.
"I didn't expect you to actually come with a team. ”
The old elf's tone was quite emotional, the impression of human beings are greedy and selfish, for Roddy, he never thought that the other party could have such courage and courage - a team of only sixty people dared to directly attack the enemy's layers of defense to come to the rescue, this kind of thing... It really made Brudi change his perception of "human".
"Rescue is the right thing to do, and I'm sorry for the suffering I suffered. Roddy's gaze rested on Nata, who lowered her eyes but had no intention of making eye contact with him - Roddy understandably that, but his eyes narrowed when he saw the shackles on Nata's feet.
The heavy shackles made blood marks on Nata's ankles.
Roddy didn't shush and ask for warmth, but turned his head to ask the whereabouts of the key from the vine-entangled enemies, and then turned it out himself, opening the shackles for Nata.
Nata looked at Roddy's movements, and although she tried to keep her face cold, for a moment, the wood elf girl finally had a trace of emotion...
But when the dense footsteps came, Nata knew it was time to leave—the siege of more than 1,200 soldiers was huge, and the scattered cavalry that followed was gradually gathering, and even a few lords could be seen among them.
Roddy didn't seem to realize it, he still calmly brought the horses for Brudy and Nata, but just as he carried the spare quiver on his back, Brudy suddenly said, "If you want to leave, the team can go all the way to the south of the town from here." ”
"Huh?"
Roddy raised an eyebrow.
"I planted trees along the way, and if I needed... I can hold off the enemies that pass through here for a while. ”
This is the reason why Brudy and Nata emphasized "return the same way" before, and because of Roddy's rescue, this plan was originally ignored by Brudy, but when he saw the enemies attacking around him, he still reminded him-
"Oh... Do you want to use 'Fierce Growth' and 'Guardian Soul'?"
Roddy switched to Elven conversation, and the names of the two spells made Brudy stunned for a moment - because Roddy was right.
Knowing the answer from Brudy's expression, Roddy then said directly: "Then lower the height of growth below the knee and cast it with the 'Guardian Soul', so that I can hold the enemy for a little longer." ”
This is not a negotiating attitude, Brudy happily agreed, and then was helped to ride the war horse-
"Sodrore, Ruger, Carter, some changes to the plan..."
Roddy turned his head and briefly arranged the task with the captains, and after thirty seconds, he waved his hand neatly, "Get on the horse-"
"Let's go!"
The order sounded, and the scouts immediately followed Ruger and Carter along the road, while the rescued Templars formed a separate team of guards, escorting the two Wood Elves to evacuate together.
At this time, all the soldiers under Roddy were still extremely mobile, and the combat unit was full of eighty-four people - if we talked about the "purpose of the battle" alone, Roddy's current task was half completed: the people had been saved, and the next thing to do... It is to successfully break out of the enemy's encirclement.
Such a plan was expected by everyone, and even the surrounding nobles thought that Roddy's next step was to flee out of town, but they could never have imagined... What a terrible counterattack can be made when a PVP player who will take advantage of all the conditions decides something...
"Do you really think that if there are too many people, you can be unscrupulous?"
Roddy looked at the street in the distance, and his tone was rather playful—as the footsteps approached, a team of more than twenty infantry men had appeared on the corner.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the knights sped away. In the smoke and dust, Nata on horseback had mixed feelings - she wanted to go along with her previous hatred of humans, but when she saw Roddy rushing in front of her so frantically, the strong feeling caused her to be unknowingly pulled by Brudy to follow the group.
Not skillfully handling the horses, Nata turned her head to look at Roddy as the team got started, only to find that he had been left there alone.
This feeling was as if everyone had abandoned Roddy, Nata suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason, and when she turned her eyes to Brudy next to her, the old village chief shook his head: "Since he has his own decision, there is no need to ask more." ”
Akasha, who also looked back frequently, had the same worries in her heart, but thinking of the confidence and ruthlessness of Roddy when arranging the task, she finally held back those chaotic thoughts, tightened the bag containing the scroll next to her hand, and ran along the predetermined route...
The shouts of the infantry could already be heard in the streets, and the first soldiers to arrive could only see the smoke and dust left behind by the cavalry leaving, but to their surprise, when the smoke cleared, a lone figure with a short bow was left in the middle of the street.
The green light flashed across the sky, and Brudy's "Violent Growth" spell caused countless low vegetation to grow in an instant on the main street of Kieg Town, which runs through the north and south, and with the casting of the "Guardian Soul", Roddy's figure also slowly retreated into the shadows of the buildings next to him in the field of vision of the pursuers.
"He's going to run!"
"Catch him!"
"Kill one first!"
In the empty town of Kig, the swarming soldiers rushed towards Roddy with shouts.
Behind them, Count Owen was outflanking the town from the flank of the town with the scattered troops of the other four lords as a "second encirclement" - this army of more than 100 people was all riding war horses, including four knights under Earl Owen who had advanced to level 5, and an advanced level 3 "elemental master" who came with Count Durant followed the team, and the lineup was extremely strong.
And in the positions of the various lords in the rear, there are more than two hundred knights wearing armor, anxiously preparing to join the "round-up" of Luo Di and others.
The doors of the residents' houses in the town are closed, and there is a dense net outside the town that is slowly closing down, so under the situation, the prelude to "cat and mouse" is slowly opening...
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves whistled outside the door, and the ground shook and rippled inside the water glass.
Suren picked up the cup and tried to pour a few sips of cold water to calm his mood, but the hand holding the cup trembled—not because of panic, but because the memories evoked by the sound of horses' hooves made Suren angry...
Suren was not a leathermaker who started his career as a "leathermaker" at a young age, he was actually a mercenary when he was young.
Although the mercenary group he was in at that time was not of high rank and the remuneration was not very good, Su Lun was very satisfied with the life at that time.
But it all happened seven years ago... A glittering stone tablet found by Su Lun in the field caused the death of the entire mercenary group - if it weren't for Su Lun's short stature hiding in a rock crevice that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, I am afraid he would not have been able to escape the fate of being abandoned in the wilderness.
Su Lun deeply remembered the emblem on the chest of those who killed them, and even inquired about it later... This dirty plunder was led by Earl Owen.
He tried to fight and take revenge, but as a powerless mercenary, Suren's result can be imagined - to this day, the edges and corners of his heart have long been smoothed out by the cruel reality, and being a leathermaker may be a good result, but when he sees those knights who insult him today, Suren still can't calm the anger that was buried deep in his heart...
Do you want to endure it like this?
"Boom-"
A popping sound outside the door interrupted his memory, and Su Lun raised his head and looked at the closed door of the shop with some confusion.
"Over there! over there!"
"These damn trees! they can do magic... Get out of this street!"
"Earl Owen said that a head will give a gold coin, everyone must be-ah!"
After a short scream, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and Su Lun could clearly hear what seemed to be someone falling from the roof of his shop to the ground, and there was no movement after a "plop".
However, their conversation made Suren frown: Could it be that someone was working against Earl Owen? Who was so bold?
Thinking of the sound of horses' hooves whistling by, he thought for a moment, then quietly pushed open the closed window and looked out through the gap...
