Chapter 281: The Road Ahead and the Pursuers
In the eyes of most of the soldiers of the Holy Capital, Gawain, who has the blessing of "never sleeping", is invincible during the day.
Except for the Lion King, who was too powerful to describe in words, they had never seen anyone defeat Gawain in the light of the sun.
Strictly speaking, there is no real difference between Lu Xiao and Gao Wen
But anyone with a little discerning can see that in the previous battle between the two, it was the unknown hooded man who had the upper hand.
Gawain's combat skills are typical of Western European knight style, with concise moves, wide openings and closings, and many times relying on physical fitness to overwhelm the enemy.
Lu Xiao's superb martial arts are a little different from Lancelot, who also uses Western European knight swordsmanship, but is more proficient in martial arts.
Lancelot took knightly swordsmanship to the extreme, but Gawain, who was in the same style, could at least see some hints in his moves.
However, when facing Lu Xiao, who used the subtle moves of the East, Gao Wen, who was not professionally right, was really a little blind, just like the first time the Dull King saw Sasaki Kojiro, and was suppressed by the flowing Taidao moves, and it was difficult to fight back.
However, Gao Wen, who has the blessing of the night, is one of the most capable members of the Knights of the Round Table after all, and he is not beaten for a long time under Lu Xiao for nothing.
After a period of adaptation, he already had a general understanding of Lu Xiao's fighting style and moves.
'The next time we meet, I will be the one who wins!' ’
Gawain, who was in charge of his duties, temporarily pressed his competitive spirit, sorted out his emotions, and strode back to the interior of the holy capital of Camelot.
The task given to him by the Lion King was not successfully completed, and Gawain was mentally prepared for the punishment from the king.
In the worst-case scenario, he could be executed by the Lion King.
……
When Gawain entered the royal court with the worst intentions to be punished, Lu Xiao carried the unconscious Bedwell on his back to join Leonardo da Vinci.
A large number of panicked refugees fled into the wilderness west of the Holy Capital under the guidance of the Chaldean group.
I haven't seen a large number of pursuing knights in a short period of time, but you can guess with your butt that the knights of the round table will definitely not sit idly by and watch the refugees simply escape.
The procession of thousands of refugees gradually dispersed on the way to escape, and it was impossible for the three Chaldeans alone to restrain such a large group.
In the end, there were less than 100 refugees who followed Fujimaru Rika and others to act together, and these people were relatively discerning, knowing that Fujimaru and Lu Xiao and others were their biggest support for escaping from pursuit.
Da Vinci kept sweeping Lu Xiao with strange eyes during the evacuation.
was very uncomfortable with Da Vinci, and Lu Xiao couldn't help but ask directly.
"Leonardo, why do you keep looking at me?"
Leonardo da Vinci had a scrutinizing look on his face: "Are you sure you're an Assassin and not a saber?" I can't believe that an Assassin can defeat Gawain, who has three times the base strength during the day, with his swordsmanship. ”
When it came to this topic, Matthew was also immediately interested.
"That's right, Mr. Assassin is so powerful, in the legend of Camelot, Gawain has an undefeated record during the day, and both Mohot and Lancelot can only take a defensive war of attrition and drag the time until the sun goes down to defeat him."
Lu Xiao did not lose herself under Matthew's praise, and the simple little eggplant never hesitated to praise others.
"Actually, I didn't win either, I just used Gao Wen's ignorance of Eastern swordsmanship to temporarily suppress him, and the next fight will not be so easy."
Seeing that Rika Fujimaru was also planning to join the team of Rainbow Fart, Lu Xiao immediately changed the topic.
"Let's not talk about that, the question now is, where should we take this group of refugees to take refuge."
To the west of the Holy Capital was a vast wilderness plain, ideal for cavalry charges, and if they were overtaken by the Knights of Justice, the Chaldean refugees would become live targets in the wilderness.
Leonardo da Vinci suddenly remembered something at this time: "By the way, didn't you go to contact the mountain people before?" What was the specific, and was there any persuasion to make an alliance with the Chaldeans? ”
Lu Xiao shook her head and said, "I only tentatively won the trust of one of Hassan, but she said that she still needs to see more practical actions from us before she can make a decision." ”
"And the Hassan I know is guarding the village of the west, and it will take at least five days to reach the western part of the mountain with this group of slow-moving refugees, and I don't think the Knights of the Round Table will let us go easy during this time."
"Hmmm......"
Leonardo da Vinci frowned: "Are there any other villages of the Mountain People nearby?" It would be better to convince them to accept this group of refugees. ”
Lu Xiao spread her hands helplessly: "There should be, but I don't know the specific location of the village." ”
According to the original plot of the sixth peculiarity, Lu Xiao knew that there was a village in the east of the continuous mountain range, but in the vast mountainous area, it was difficult to find a small village that was deliberately hidden.
Lu Xiao had not been able to find any trace of Dongzhi Village when he rode a giant eagle from the sky before, and the degree of concealment of the village could be imagined.
Just as the three Chaldeans were worried about their next destination, the young woman who had been rescued by Lu Xiao from Gao Wen's sword suddenly raised her hand and interjected.
"Benefactor, can you listen to me?"
Lu Xiao nodded happily and said, "Of course, madam, please speak." ”
The veiled young woman was also carrying a little boy of about five years old, who had fallen asleep in his mother's arms.
Carefully handing over her son to the refugees beside her to take care of, the young woman moved lightly to Lu Xiao and the others.
"A few benefactors, as far as I know, there is a mountain village nearby, and among the refugees who have followed us are those who have broken away from that village."
Just like Lu Xiao knew from Baixiang before, the food supply in the village of the mountain people was seriously insufficient, and some hungry villagers took the initiative to leave the village.
On the one hand, it is to save food for the rest of the village, and on the other hand, it is also to try their luck in the Holy Capital, so that if they are lucky enough to pass the Holy Bath test, they will no longer have to worry about their future lives.
The young woman, Sariya, was one of the three chosen among the Holy Bath, but her son Rushide was not so lucky.
Unwilling to leave her son alone and enter the Holy Capital to enjoy the blessings, Sariya pleaded repeatedly to no avail, and was almost accidentally killed by Gawain, who was planning to kill Rusd.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao rushed out at this time and stopped Gao Wen's further actions by encircling Wei to save Zhao, and saved the lives of the mother and son in a thrilling way.
Under Salia's introduction, Lu Xiao and the others found the refugee from Dongzhi Village.
The weather-faced Middle Eastern man had a bitter smile on his face: "Now, I should have returned to Dongzhi Village without shame, but the other refugees should not suffer together because of my personal persistence. ”
"I'll show you the way to Higashi-no-Village, but will the managers of To-no-Village accept it...... That's not something I can decide. ”
Lu Xiao subconsciously rubbed his chin: "Let's go and give it a try, maybe the other party will see it for the sake of me saving Hassan." ”
Although Da Vinci was doing all kinds of coordination and giving advice most of the time, it was the Lord Fujimaru Rika who made the decision in the special point of the Chaldeans.
After thinking about it for a while, Rika Fujimaru decided to adopt Lu Xiao's proposal.
"Then let's go, I hope Hassan of the East Village can accept us and at least accept this batch of difficult ......"
"Oh no!"
Before Rika Fujimaru could finish speaking, a panicked shout suddenly came from the rear of the refugee group.
"Knight! The Knights of Righteousness are catching up! ”
"So fast?"
Lu Xiao immediately jumped on the small hill next to him, and even if he didn't open the eagle's pupil, he could clearly see the dust stirred up by the galloping of a large number of horses behind him.
As the cavalry team approached, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the sound of the "booming" cavalry charge caused many refugees to let out frightened screams.
"There's no time to hesitate, Leonardo, Fujimaru, you take Bedwell and the refugees in the direction of East Village first, and I'll help you buy a little time."
Handing over Bedwell on his back to Matthew to support, Lu Xiao pressed his hands on the barren land and took a deep breath.
"Up!"
A large earthen wall suddenly appeared in front of the route of the cavalry charge, and the frightened solemn knights hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped, and the originally neat cavalry team suddenly became a mess.
"Now, let's go!"
