As everyone walked through the woods, they heard a shouting sound in the distance that was getting closer and closer, which sounded like the movement of many men and horses marching in the forest, and everyone took out their weapons and stood on guard.

With the sound of horses' hooves, a group of knights rushed from the depths of the woods, they rode tall horses, dressed in skull-shaped silver armor, lined with red leather clothing, each knight wore a helmet that concealed his face, and held a long sword or axe blade in his hand, and the knights were followed by some mages who also rode on war horses, but with metal staffs, these mages were not wearing such tight armor, so they could be seen to be elves with pointed ears.

The cavalry team of dozens of people gathered together with the people who turned the direction in front of them, and they obviously did not choose to ignore Zhang Lin and the others.

"Phew—"

Under the shouts and waves of the leading knight captain, the knights all stopped their horses and confronted Zhang Lin, the cavalry captain raised the sword in his hand and pointed at everyone, and a cold frost appeared on the long sword: "Human? From which city did you flee, and your master? ”

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the elves of Aine El had enslaved all the remaining humans in this world, so when they saw humans, the first reaction of these knights was that Zhang Lin was that they were slaves who had escaped from the city destroyed by the Burning Legion.

Feng Yan, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, pointed at Zhang Lin and said, "Our master is here." ”

This made the knight captain stunned, how could a human be the master of another group of human beings, he looked at Zhang Lin carefully, how do you look at it, it is just an ordinary human being, is it the royal descendant of the extinct human kingdom, and these people's clothes do not look like slaves can have, which can't help but deepen his affirmation of this speculation.

At this moment, an adjutant next to the knight captain, Yu Ma, stepped forward, pointed at Zhang Lin and the others and said, "They don't have slave insignia on them. ”

The knight captain nodded, of course he didn't, these were the humans who were not caught by them, maybe it was those new enemies who would force these reclusive humans out, and then he waved his hand: "Arrest them all!" ”

I saw a part of the knights tumbling off their horses, carrying weapons, and about to surround them, Zhang Lin stepped forward directly and said, "Slow, we are friends with Avarak." ”

The knights stopped, looking back to see what instructions the captain had, only to see that the knight captain paused for a while, and was about to ignore Zhang Lin's words and catch them first, but an elven mage in the rear heard Zhang Lin's words and turned over and dismounted, and walked closer: "You are the humans mentioned by Lord Avalak?" ”

At this time, Ciri stepped forward from behind, holding a metal ornament in his hand and waving at the elven mage, seeing what Ciri was holding in his hand, and seeing Ciri's appearance, the elven mage was stunned for a moment, a happy expression appeared on his face, he turned back to the knight captain and said: "I have confirmed their identities, they are indeed friends of Lord Avalak, so there is no need to arrest them." ”

Hearing the words of the elven mage, the knight captain snorted coldly, and the helmet that had not been taken off from beginning to end was finally taken off by him, revealing a pale face with a very unsightly face.

"Don't press me with Lord Avarak's name......" That being said, the Knight Captain still waved his men, it seems that he didn't recognize Ciri, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like this now, knowing that this was their king, the person their general had been trying to capture.

After the tense atmosphere disappeared, the elven mage stepped forward and asked Zhang Lin, "By the way, you came from that direction, what happened before, did you see it?" ”

At this time, Feng Yan, who had been lazily leaning on Mia, suddenly jumped out, patted her chest and said, "Then you still need to ask, I did it, not to mention that hundreds of demons were half lost by me at once......"

Zhang Lin hurriedly grabbed Feng Yan, this thing always speaks without thinking, as soon as she said this, the knights who had already let down their guard suddenly became nervous again.

"By the way, what are you guys going to do?" Zhang Lin was going to throw the topic to the other party to ease the atmosphere.

The elven mage looked at Feng Yan blankly, obviously not expecting such an answer, but after hearing Zhang Lin's question, he still temporarily suppressed the surprise in his heart and replied: "The sentry sent before discovered that the enemy had set up a camp on the other side of the woods, so we are ready to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. ”

Zhang Lin didn't know whether to say that these guys were too confident or what: "Don't go, their camp has already been built, although we made a big fuss there just now, but it is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and you are running over now to deliver food." ”

The elven mage and the knight captain were a little confused, because the news reported by the sentry before that it was just an outpost camp, and there should not be many enemies, but according to what Feng Yan said just now and Zhang Lin's meaning, there were obviously a large number of enemies there, and it was not something that a team like them could eat at all.

However, the captain of the knights was still a little unconvinced, and ordered one of the knights to go and inquire about the situation again.

At this time, the elven mage remembered a word that Feng Yan had just mentioned, that is, these enemies that suddenly appeared were called demons by her, and wondered if Zhang Lin knew something: "This lady mentioned demons just now, do you know the origin of these guys?" ”

"That's a force called the Burning Legion...... I'll tell Avalak about the details later. Zhang Lin only spoke briefly, and then prepared to learn about the situation of these Burning Legion demons through the other party: "How long have those demons appeared?" How have you lost so far? ”

Listening to what Zhang Lin said, the elf mage did not doubt him, after all, he was not the person in charge, so he didn't need to know too much detail, and then he sighed: "I didn't expect that there are races like us that can cross the world...... They appeared half a month ago, and in just a few days, they broke through the defense line of several of our towns, and they expanded very quickly, I didn't expect to come here today, we thought it was just some advance troops, but according to what you said, this is obviously the number of cities ready to be attacked, it seems that we must go back to speed up the strengthening of the defensive barrier, fortunately, Lord Avarak is back, otherwise we may not be able to resist alone, to be honest, these guys are completely born for war and destruction......"

The elves of Al El used to conquer different worlds with a combination of mages and cavalry units, but now they have little resistance to an enemy like the Burning Legion, which has the same complex combat system as modern troops.

A short time later, the knight who had been sent to investigate the situation rushed back and reported the situation ahead to the captain of the knights.

The knight captain looked at Zhang Lin and them deeply: "Let's go back!" ”
