Chapter 167: The Rose Ridge Mission (Subscription Requested)
Just when Heishiling was preparing to establish its own chamber of commerce while secretly developing in full swing, a team finally arrived at the periphery of Heishiling after more than ten days of trekking.
This is clearly a mission from another noble family.
Although there were only about a dozen people in the entire team, the exquisite carriage that was firmly guarded by two junior warriors and one junior paladin was led by two junior warriors and one junior paladin, supplemented by ten elite ordinary soldiers on horseback
- An eagle with wings ready to fly
This emblem is estimated to be very familiar to any local resident of Blackstone Ridge, because this is the emblem of the most powerful force in the vicinity, the Eagle Family of Rose Ridge!
The deep friendship between the Eagle Count and the Blackstone Baron family can be said to have been inherited since the birth of the Blackstone Baron family.
The original black baron was the personal bodyguard of the Eagle Count from that generation.
Later, on the battlefield of conflict between the kingdom and the trolls, the first baron was lucky enough to kill the opposing troll overseers in a battle, and was able to be canonized as the Baron of Blackstone by King Lorda, and established his own fief in Blackstone Ridge, which was still a barren land.
It is precisely because of such a relationship that the Black Baron family has always had a very good personal relationship with the Eagle family.
Even most of the time, the Black Baron family is regarded by outsiders as the most loyal little brother of the Eagle family.
If it weren't for the fact that Black Ridge has not been able to become really strong because of the fish people, with the support of such a powerful boss behind him, the black baron would have become a viscount like another horse boy of the Eagle family.
Even the mysterious death of the old Baron Blackstone's family before was so similar to the death of the entire Eagle family before, which can be described as full of evil fate.
I just don't know what kind of changes will the eagle's emblem bring to this land that is undergoing great changes this time when the eagle's emblem appears again on the land of Black Stone?
"Cheer up, everyone!"
Looking at the traces of human activity that gradually appeared around him, the leading paladin shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him:
"We're on the outskirts of Blackstone Ridge now, so hurry up and try to get a hot meal at Blackstone Castle before the sun goes down!"
"Great!"
Obviously, the hot food was still very tempting for these soldiers who had been trekking hard for a long time, and at the sound of the paladin's words, those soldiers who were drowsy from exhaustion immediately became refreshed, and even let out a few sporadic cheers.
"These stinky boys!"
Seeing this, a middle-aged warrior with a thick beard behind the paladin immediately laughed and cursed, and then couldn't help but complain.
"But seriously, Rox, I'm just too fed up with the jerky, the sour brown bread along the way!"
Obviously, these two kinds of food that appear for long-term preservation definitely don't have any taste, and even in the eyes of many people, this thing is enough as a weapon, and if the flesh is not soaked in water, the terrifying hardness can even knock people unconscious!
In comparison, any relatively normal food can be considered a delicacy.
"And I heard that although Heishiling is poor, everyone who has eaten the delicious fish soup is full of praise, and I have to take care of it when the time comes... Be careful! ”
The warrior who was originally splashing his saliva didn't know what he saw and suddenly screamed, and then suddenly reached out and pushed the paladin next to him, and he also used this thrust to smash straight and backward from the horse's back as if he had fallen!
And just in the next moment when he was near, more than a dozen arrows with a cold glow fell directly at the original position of the two of them, instantly piercing the two innocent war horses into hedgehogs!
"Enemy attack!"
With a terrible roar, everyone instantly took out their weapons and went into a state of alert, and the paladin, who was unprepared to be pushed off the horse, didn't care about the big bag on his head, and looked at the hills on both sides with a solemn face.
Because of entering the boundary of the Black Stone Ridge, his vigilance was undoubtedly a little relaxed, and now when he encountered an attack, he found that his group was now in the gap between two hills, an excellent position for an ambush!
"Careless!"
Looking at the looming figure, the paladin's mouth couldn't help but feel a little bitter, because it was at this moment of glimpse that he found at least four or five hunters who were also professionals (similar professions in elves and other races are called rangers).
And as a long-range expert, he is in such a disadvantageous position, and if he is not careful, just these few hunters may wipe out their group!
And it's obvious that since the other party plans to do it on their own, they will definitely not simply dispatch a long-range professional like a hunter, and this is a disaster for a few people who are already at a numerical disadvantage...
Just when his heart was heavy, another accident suddenly happened!
"Damn, Roland, what are you doing?!"
Hearing the screams behind him, the paladin turned his head suddenly, but was shocked to find that another young warrior in the team suddenly attacked the middle-aged warrior who had just saved him at this time!
The sharp sin sword cut a huge wound on the opponent's body, if it weren't for the middle-aged warrior subconsciously dodging, this sneak attack would probably directly split him in half!
"You traitor!"
Thinking of the hunters who had so accurately confirmed the whereabouts of the team and arranged the ambush, the paladin still didn't understand what was happening, his head suddenly buzzed, and his eyes instantly turned red!
"Judgment!"
Suddenly throwing out a ray of light to smash away the betrayer who was about to mend the middle-aged warrior's sword, the paladin held the huge metal shield in front of him, and rushed over with the heavy armor on his body like a tank running at full strength!
Rumble!
The surging force turned into a real roar after the shield collided with the light armor of the betrayed warrior, and the violent concussion caused the target to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and then smashed into the woods on the side.
But just as he was doing his best to deal with this betrayer, the real danger had just come.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The hunter's spell arrows accompanied by a strong brilliance were like bombs, instantly baptizing those ordinary soldiers who couldn't react at all, killing two on the spot, and the remaining soldiers were all wounded.
And then, dozens of people surrounded from both sides of the dense forest.
Although only seven or eight of them were real professionals, it was still enough to make people feel hopeless for this small team!
Seeing the unhurried enemy surrounding, the only paladin who was still in good combat force glanced at the carriage beside him that screamed because of the stray arrow, and his whole heart suddenly sank little by little (to be continued). )
