Chapter 410: Saving People
General Bernard led more than twenty of his men and played a cat-and-mouse game along the frozen river with an enemy twenty times his size. Bernard ran to the east side of the river, and the enemy followed him to the east, and Bernard ran to the west side of the river, and the enemy followed him to the west, relying on his superb riding skills and the advantage of being good at ice and snow ground combat, and always left the enemy behind. For the reward of 10,000 gold coins, all the guards desperately urged their horses to chase after them, but in the end they did not catch up, and the line became longer and longer, and Bernard seized the opportunity to kill the horse pistol, and crossed the glacier and went straight to the cavalry leader.
There were only four or five subordinates around the cavalry leader, and the others went to chase the 10,000 gold coins, but they were caught off guard by Bernard's killing, and several people around him were crushed at the touch, and he himself was directly thrown off his horse by Bernard's shot.
"Dismount and throw away your weapons, or I will kill your leader." ”
The general pointed his gun at the captured leader and shouted.
"Do as he says, quickly lay down your arms, and those who disobey the military order will be killed. ”
The leader was originally a son of a noble family, who had been gilded in the Royal Knight Academy for several years, with limited strength and lack of battlefield experience, and relied on a good relationship with Captain Andre and rose to the position of captain. He had never been put on his neck with a weapon, and he was so frightened that he ordered his men to dismount their horses.
Although the cavalry was unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the military order, so they could only jump off their horses and throw their weapons aside.
General Bernard immediately ordered his own soldiers to stab each batch of horses in the buttocks, so that the horses would suffer and flee, as long as there were no horses, these cavalry could not continue to catch up with him, then he could successfully get rid of this pursuit, at least until tomorrow, as for tomorrow, the general had no time to care about it now.
Soon the horses were driven away by the soldiers, and General Bernard was overjoyed, and he ordered the cavalry leader to mount his horse.
"You go with me for a ride, and I promise to let you go before dark. ”
General Bernard threatened, and the cavalry leader could only nod obediently.
"I disagree!"
Suddenly, a voice came, and the general looked around in surprise, only to find that the cavalry on the opposite side was also looking for the source of the sound.
"In heaven. ”
A pro-soldier shouted.
"Gryphon Knight!"
Following the direction of his soldier's finger, the general saw that the griffon that had followed him had disappeared for a while and then flew back above his head, and a man sat on it, seemingly holding a long strip in his arms.
"William?"
The griffin lowered the altitude of its flight, and the general saw clearly that what the knight was holding in his arms was not something at all, but a man --- his son William.
It seems that the time when the griffon knight disappeared just now was to track down his wife and children, and now that his son has fallen into the hands of the enemy, his wife is afraid that it will be more than lucky.
The general felt a chill in his heart, even in the face of the siege of the orc army, he had never been so frightened.
"General Bernard, if you want your son to live, dismount and capture him quickly, and I promise to leave you a whole corpse. ”
The knight on the griffin said loudly.
"We exchange hostages. ”
The general pretended to be calm.
"Hostages?"
The griffin knight sneered, and he suddenly drew a feathered arrow from the quiver behind his back, and shot it with a whoosh, and the cluster of arrows hit the forehead of the cavalry leader.
The griffin knight's arrow surprised General Bernard, so that he didn't have time to react to protect the cavalry leader, and the other party didn't even snort and fell off his horse and was killed on the spot.
"Now there are no more hostages, and the general can happily dismount and surrender. ”
The Griffin Knight's accent that is characteristic of the southern south of the continent sounds so cold.
"Father, leave me alone. ”
William struggled and shouted in the hands of his enemies, but he only said a word before the griffin knight slapped him on the back of the head and fainted.
"Where's my wife?"
"On the other side of the mountain, in the hands of my companions. ”
"I can lay down my arms, but you have to do it with my wife. ”
"Yes. ”
"General, no!"
The soldiers shook their heads firmly at Bernard, knowing that even if they all surrendered, their opponents would not be able to spare the general's wife and children.
"I want you to swear by the god of light. ”
"Yes. ”
The griffin knight sneered, then began to swear:
"Great God of Light, I swear with my piety that I will release General Bernard as soon as he is willing to surrender, and I will release his wife and son. ”
"Good!"
The general jumped off his horse and threw his blade, and his own soldiers could only follow. Seeing this, the cavalry on the opposite side immediately swarmed them up, pressed them to the ground and tied them up.
"Now it's your turn to make good on your promise. ”
The general craned his neck and yelled at the griffin knight.
"Of course!"
The griffon knight agreed, harnessed the griffon to the ground, and let William down. But as soon as he left, the cavalry of the Guards rushed forward and tied William up as well.
"How dare you break your promise to the God of Light. ”
The general roared angrily.
"It's me who swears, and now it's them who kill people, why turn your back?" haha..."
The griffin knight smirked triumphantly, but he only laughed twice before his voice stopped, and at his throat, an ice spike poked its head out of it, holding the laughter behind him in his chest. The tall body of the griffin knight shook twice on the griffin's back, and a figure in a black robe appeared behind it. The figure didn't ride anything, just floated alone in the air, its robe swaying gently in the wind.
"Who?"
"Whoosh!"
The attention of the cavalry of the Guards was all drawn by the black-robed man in the air, but the two agile figures approached quickly in the direction they were not paying attention to, and were already bending their bows and shooting arrows when they were two hundred paces away.
"Ahh
With a few screams, the cavalry holding the general and his son was the first to fall to the ground, and the other cavalry reacted, but it was too late, there was a dense buzz in the air, and a wind blade had already struck down with a head and face.
The unprepared cavalry suddenly fell, and the rest panicked, running around, and were shot by the two archers who rushed up, and more than a dozen fell, and at the same time, the black-robed magician in the sky also swooped down, he released two water cover magic, separating the general and his son from the enemy, and then with a wave of his hand, several blue crystal ice trays flew to the head of the cavalry and burst open.
