When it was almost dawn, there was a shallow smile on the unlucky person's face, and she turned over, but suddenly felt a pain on her face.

A hand slapped her face twice, and in a daze, she heard Xue Wuji's deep voice: "Hey, wake up, wake up!"

The unlucky guy opened his eyes and found himself lying next to the snow without a trace, but this guy's face was very gloomy! The sky was just slightly cloudy, why did this guy call himself up so early?

The unlucky man turned over and sat up, looked around, and suddenly his heart was cold! Not far from the surroundings, in the direction of the surroundings, in the hazy morning light, more than 20 horsemen had completely surrounded the small camp of the two of them! Several knights dismounted and stood around with weapons in hand, while the knights below them were still riding on horses, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and made a posture of vigilance and vigilance.

And the nearest knights, only about ten steps away from here, the long sword in their hands was sharp, glowing with cold light! Xue Wuxian stood beside him, he held his chest straight, his sword in his hand, and his face was as gloomy as ice!

Snow Without a Trace had already recognized these guys, and one of them standing on the opposite side was the leader of the knights who had competed with him last time.

Last time, he ran away before the other party arrived, but now it seems that there is no chance to repeat the old trick.

The other party has firmly besieged his camp, and he has no horses.

"Lay down your arms. ”

The knight leader who lost to him last time had a cold face and a hoarse voice: "Then come over by yourself!"

Xue Wuxian looked at the guy opposite, and heard the unlucky ghost say that it seemed to be called Sim, and the other party's eyes looked at him as if he was breathing fire, and the hatred made Xue Wuxian feel a little hairy.

Looking at this guy's eyes, it seems that he will uncontrollably pounce on himself at any time and bite himself.

Uh, Xue Wuxian remembered that the last time he met this guy, the two fought at the end, but this guy's martial arts were blocked by himself.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not going to lay down my arms. ”

Xue Wuxian rolled his eyes: "I'm not a fool, this kind of posture, do I have a choice other than Yibo?"

Chim sneered. He is now very sure that all the people in his team are here, well-equipped, strong and strong, and he has surrounded this kid again, and this time he will be unable to fly even if he has wings!

Chim raised the spear in his hand, his eyes full of murderous aura: "Very good, just use your blood to wash away my shame!"

Sim stared at the wild boy in front of him, his eyes were full of murderous aura - the gods testified that Sim definitely had a good reason to cut this kid into seven or eight pieces and feed them to the dogs!

As a member of the glorious Olivia Knights of the Guard, Chim couldn't remember the last time he was so disgraced.

Olivia, a glorious name, a glorious name! There is only one in the whole continent that dares to use this name as a prefix to name the Knights!

Because "Olivia", which is the name of the imperial capital of the Augustan Empire, is directly loyal to the royal family, only accepts the orders of His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Augustan Empire, and has countless glory and traditions written in iron and blood, and only such a knight is qualified to use the glorious name "Olivia".

In fact, the Knights of the Olivia Guards have another unofficial name: the Night's Guard. Because this order of knights belongs only to the royal family, and it is only loyal to the royal family. However, unlike the ordinary Imperial Guards, this order is a private force under the exclusive authority of His Majesty the Emperor, and is not supervised by the military department, and even the military pay and dues are paid from within the royal family.

Therefore, in order to distinguish this knight from the regular Imperial Guard, people habitually call these guys "Nighttime Guards", because they do not have the regular Imperial Army, but they are extremely brave and brave, and these guys are used to wearing black iron armor, coming and going like the wind, like death messengers in the dark night.

Those who can enter the Olivia Knights of the Guards are all carefully selected from the army, especially since everyone is absolutely innocent and absolutely loyal to the royal family.

And even to say an over-the-top: these people are far more loyal to His Majesty the Emperor himself than to the Empire.

There is indeed a precedent in the history of the Augustan Empire, more than a hundred years ago, in a civil strife in the empire, the then emperor was overthrown, and the new emperor was unable to command this night royal army, as a result, two hundred night knights of the early night royal forest escorted the deposed emperor in a bloody battle, and almost killed the royal city of Olivia in the midst of heavy siege.

And in the end, in a desperate situation, even after the deposed emperor committed suicide, none of these knights of the night were willing to surrender, half committed suicide, and half launched a suicidal charge, except for the lack of breakthroughs, all of them died in battle.

The Nightshaders, on the other hand, refused to be accepted by the Augustan Empire, believing that their allegiance was to His Majesty the Emperor himself, not the country.

A handful of knights later became rebels and horse thieves in the Empire's frontiers, and it took the Empire a full year to put down these rebellions.

Later, however, the new emperor decided to re-establish the Knights of the Night, a move that was opposed by almost all the important ministers of the empire, but His Majesty the Emperor insisted on going his own way.

In the words of the Emperor Augustus at the time: "What emperor in the world does not want his men to have such a group of dead soldiers who are brave in battle and unconditionally loyal to themselves?"

Because of such a strict selection, the number of the special Knights of the Guards has always been very small, even when it was the largest in history, the number of knights of the Night's Royal Forest with official status has never exceeded 500.

Any member who can join the Night Guards is a carefully selected elite warrior, and there is no problem in terms of will or loyalty, and the Night Knights have a high status within the Augustan Empire, even in the face of the palace guards, who are also known as the Royal Guards.

Sim has been with the Nightshade for many years, and becoming a Rider three years ago has become the crowning achievement of his life.

Although he was only a small cavalry commander, nominally only commanding twenty people, how could the cavalry commander of the Night's Imperial Forest be ordinarily comparable? In the Night's Imperial Forest, there were only a dozen horsemen like him.

And such a small cavalry commander, even when facing an ordinary general, he does not have to salute, but holds each other peacefully.
