An elite cavalry of eight hundred......

After receiving the information provided by Tsui, Melti's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

This group of well-equipped cavalry troops is very likely to be the pursuers sent by the enemy, and the goal should be to kill Prince Henry, a member of the royal family of country A, as for whether Prince Henry will be cut down by him or captured for other purposes after they find him, it will be the same result for Melti - the trial mission will be declared a failure!

To do so, she must either shake off the pursuit of the enemy or annihilate them.

Melti prefers the former approach.

Although the number of the White Rose Knights looks like a lot, as a fugitive, it is no longer full, and in order to lead Prince Henry to escape from the royal city of country A and from the encirclement of the enemy army, it has already lost a lot of manpower.

Now there are only about two hundred people left in the White Rose Knights who can fight.

Although everyone who has survived until now can be called an elite warrior who is brave and good at fighting, after all, after taking out the royal city with great difficulty and then going through a long journey, everyone is actually in a bad state at the moment.

This is also the main reason why they camp here to rest, not only do people need to rest, but most importantly, because of the long run, the war horses under their seats are already quite tired, and they need to stop to rest and eat to replenish the energy consumed.

It had only been long since the camp had just begun, and neither the horses nor the knights had returned to their perfect condition.

At this time, the enemy attacked, and it was really the best time to choose.

Merti estimated that with the current state of the White Rose Knights, especially when the number of people was far lower than that of the other party, if they fought with the other party, the chances of winning were too low.

Therefore, the best option is to avoid fighting the other party and get rid of the other party!

There was no more time for her to hesitate, because according to Tsui's estimate, with the enemy's footsteps, it would only take another four minutes at most to kill her in the camp.

She immediately turned around, fumbled a little in the pocket of her clothes, and then took out a whistle from her bosom, and without hesitation, put it to the corner of her lips and blew it vigorously.

"Beep, beep, beep——!!!"

A short, shrill and loud whistle resounded throughout the camp at once, and it continued to sound at a very fast frequency.

The white-armored knights in the entire camp, whether they were sitting on the ground drinking water and eating, or feeding the horses, or closing their eyes to recuperate, and guarding the perimeter, all changed their faces instantly after hearing this whistle.

This is because this is a whistle that every member of the White Rose Order will be equipped with, which is used to quickly convey warning signals to their companions. The frequency of the whistle is regular, and different rhythms will represent different signals.

And the extremely frequent, short, and continuous rhythm of whistles like the current one means that the enemy is attacking, and the danger is extremely high!

The whole camp suddenly exploded, and all the White Rose Knights, no matter what they were doing before, quickly packed up their state and utensils with their hands and feet as quickly as possible, held their weapons, put on their armor, and turned over and gathered on their horses.

"What's going on?!"

The leader of the White Rose Knights, who is also a 'human' type NPC with a name and surname, named Lampel, is a middle-aged strong man about forty years old. As the leader of the White Rose Knights, he is calm, experienced, and his strength has been honed to the limit of being close to mortals.

At this moment, Lampel stared at each other, and suddenly locked on the location where the whistle sounded, and rushed out with a few steps under his feet, and his body in heavy armor rushed out at the speed he thought was fast.

In just five seconds, he, who was still patrolling the edge of the camp, crossed a distance of dozens of meters and rushed to the center of the camp where Merti was.

"Melti?" looked at the knight girl who had just put away the whistle, and Lampel recognized the other party at once.

After all, in the White Rose Knights under his leadership, it is absolutely very rare for a young female knight to be as beautiful as her, which naturally makes Lampel have a deep impression.

"What's going on? Why is the enemy attack signaling?" Lampel asked Melty in a straight and urgent voice, without time to dwell on other details.

Although, he was a little puzzled, because he had already observed the situation in the camp as soon as he arrived at the scene, after all, since the whistle of the alarm came from the center of the camp, the location of the enemy attack could also be inside the camp.

For example, an assassin sneaked in and something like that.

This is normal, because there are knights patrolling the perimeter of the camp, and if the enemy is coming from outside the camp, then it should be the knights patrolling the perimeter who send the signal of the enemy attack whistle.

But now Lampel has made his rounds, but he has not found any trace of any suspected enemy around Melti, and there is no trace of a battle around her.

This naturally made him extremely puzzled, and even began to wonder if this young knight girl had made a mistake and accidentally blew the alarm whistle inadvertently.

But this thought lingered in Lampel's mind for only half a second before he snuffed it out. The whistle that expresses the signal of an enemy attack is a very special rhythm, and no one will blow this rhythm by mistake, and the serious expression on the face of the knight girl in front of her at this moment also indicates that she is not joking.

"Commander, I have detected a group of cavalry units suspected of being enemies approaching our camp from the rear, numbering about eight hundred! At their current speed, they will be in contact with us in three or four minutes!"

Melti's tone was quick and very clear, and she informed the regiment commander of the information she knew as quickly as possible.

Even if Merti detected the enemy's intelligence one step in advance, her identity was only an ordinary knight in the White Rose Knights, and she couldn't even be called an adjutant, so she had no power to directly control the actions of the entire Knights. Love Book House

Therefore, the emergency transfer of the entire White Rose Knights in the camp still needs to be completed through the leader of the Lampel group. To do this, Merti must convince him as soon as possible that she is providing information.

"Are you sure?" but Lampel didn't believe Merty so easily.

"According to your words, at the speed of cavalry, three minutes away, the enemy is now at least three thousand meters away from us! The knights in charge of patrolling and guarding on the periphery have not yet sent any information back! Melty, tell me, why do you, who are staying inside the camp, detect the enemy's tracks first?"

The place where the White Rose Knights now camped was on the meadow along the river on the outskirts of a forest, and although the location of the camp was relatively flat because it was on the bank of the river, the view further away was not very wide, and there were many dense tall trees and bushes around it, which was not conducive to the charge and running of the cavalry troops.

But this is also for the sake of concealment, if they camp directly on the plains and other terrain, there may be pursuers behind them, such a target will be too conspicuous, and it is easy for the enemy to find the location.

So, hiding in the woods with dense foliage is a good choice in terms of concealment. The members of the White Rose Order have been trained in the field, and they can try not to leave too many traces when they move through the woods.

Originally, they thought that by virtue of this, they could avoid the enemy's pursuers, and even in order to maintain as much concealment as possible, when they camped and rested, they did not even build a bonfire, and the food they ate was cold and hard dry food that could only be swallowed with water, rather than soft and hot food.

In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts due to the smoke from the campfire.

Of course, in order to avoid being caught up by the enemy and not being able to escape in time, the White Rose Knights chose to camp in a location that did not go too deep into the woods, but only in the outer area of the woods, and if they walked a distance further out, they would leave the woods and enter the plains.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for people from afar to approach their camp.

Now, however, Melti reported that enemy pursuers were coming after them.

Therefore, after getting acquainted with each other back and forth, the two girls naturally did not have the sense of awe and alienation that they should have when they treated the 'elders'.

Not only is there no sense of awe and alienation, but as they grow older, the two girls actually began to have a trace of other careful thoughts, which does not need to be elaborated.

After noticing the girl's shyness, Jiang Yan didn't tease her anymore, and settled down when he saw that it was good.

After all, it's still in the trial mission, which is not very suitable for playing, and, crucially, the occasion is not quite right.

"Little girl, be on guard, the enemy is coming. 』

Hearing Jiang Yan's sudden admonition, Melti's heart sank, and she immediately calmed down the ripples that had just appeared in her heart, and quickly solved the food and water in her hands in a few sips very quickly, and then stood up and looked directly at the rear of the camp.

This time it was to complete the escort mission under the pursuit of the enemy, so if there was an enemy, the greatest possibility would be from the rear of the camp, in the direction they were marching all the way.

It was at this time that Melti's mind sounded the cold siren of the exclusive brain "Emerald".

"Miss, please be careful, there are enemies approaching the camp from that direction!"

Merti crouched down slightly in tacit understanding, and pressed her palm, which was not yet armoured, directly to the ground.

A very slight vibration was transmitted through the ground to the palm of her hand. The shock was so slight that a normal person would not have noticed it unless they had their ears directly on the ground and their hearing was very sharp. But for Melti, even if the extraordinary power sealed by the rules of the trial mission has also sealed the perception ability in terms of spiritual sense, the keen five senses that were once honed when he was an extraordinary person still retain a part, which can be regarded as reaching the level of the limit realm of mortals.

Therefore, she could clearly distinguish this strange vibration coming from the ground just by the contact of her flesh.

Relying on the knowledge she had learned and the experience she had learned during the training, Melti could roughly judge from this shock that the person who came should be a cavalry unit on horseback, and its number was quite large, and it should be more than the White Rose Knights on her side, but it is difficult to estimate the extent of the specific number.

The other party was still some distance away from the camp at this time, and the vibration caused by the horse's hooves from the ground was relatively slight, and with Melti's current level of perception, he could judge this information, which was actually quite good.

However, the "Emerald" in Melti's mind brought her more detailed information at the moment.

"Preliminary analysis, the number of the other party is about eight hundred, according to the weight calculation, all of them are cavalry wearing uniform steel armor, according to the analysis of the vibration frequency of the horse's hooves, the quality of the war horse should definitely reach the superior level of military horses. 』

"At this speed, taking a high-quality archer as an example, the opponent only needs another three minutes at most to enter the distance where he can directly throw a bow and arrow to the camp!

Listening to Cui's report, the expression on Melti's pretty face became more and more grim.

Because of the rules of the trial mission, not only Melti, but even her exclusive brain "Emerald" has also been sealed. Now, although it has been unsealed and awakened because of Jiang Yan's help, due to the restrictions of the trial rules, its strength has not recovered much.

Therefore, it is impossible to directly use the power of data to scan and detect the enemy's detailed information from afar.

But the basic calculation and analysis ability of the brain is still retained, and through Melti's body, Cui collected information such as the vibration frequency from the ground, and with extremely powerful calculation and analysis ability, just with this little imperceptible information, he analyzed the enemy's state to a seven, seven, eight, eight.

This has already provided Melti with a huge boost.
