Chapter 157: Traitor

"Master, I noticed that there didn't seem to be a numbered person following that convoy." Ted said vaguely as he gnawed on Lambas beside Hu Bin, and Hu Bin glanced over there and nodded.

"Who knows where they've gone, maybe they're hiding somewhere." Hu Bin said indifferently, he glanced at the others, and found that they were trying to eliminate the Lambas dry food in their hands, not even a little dregs, although the taste of Lambas was a little lighter, but at least the taste was biased towards dim sum, compared to dry jerky and brown bread, it was really much stronger.

A full five minutes had passed since the cavalry had left their sight, and the lune, who had neither camped nor marched, had waited there without any movement. Okov glanced at the sky, and then at Hu Bin, who was not in a hurry at all, and took a bite of Lambas like chewing wax, suppressing his desire to sigh.

At this moment, the Rune suddenly made a move, and they quickly split into two parts under the orders of their commander, one of whom remained in place with about 200 men, and the other part moved rapidly in the direction from which they had come.

"Sir! They moved, they moved! Okov almost jumped up when he saw the enemy retreating, and cried out in a suppressed voice of excitement.

Hu Bin, who was about to fall asleep, quickly cheered up after glancing at the remaining two hundred people opposite.

"Ready, Okov, take your men to the mountain over there, and harass the Lunes with bows and arrows there. I ask you to hold out there for at least three minutes, and then retreat into the woods, can you do that? ”

"Sir, you underestimate us too much, even if it takes twice as much time." Aukov patted his chest and promised. "Sir, I'm going to command, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm here waiting for you to come back, I'm very optimistic about you!" Hu Bin said this sentence with a cheeky face. The goodwill that Okov had finally gathered died directly.

"Yes, sir, I'll get the job done." Okov said weakly that he thought he had already passed that naïve age, but he didn't expect that he was still too upright.

Seeing the fifty rangers slowly disappear from his sight along the edge of the woods, Hu Bin put away his cynical smile, and his eyes showed a gritty that Okov had never seen before.

"Master, why don't you let those people know about our plans." Lorraine asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Although they obey my commands, they are not my subordinates after all, and let these fellows shed blood and die for one of my orders. This is not in line with my principles. Hu Bin summoned his beloved Rohan Brawn War Horse and turned back and stepped on horseback.

Seeing the more than 30 subordinates behind him who were ready to go at some point, Hu Bin's heart suddenly swelled up with a feeling of relief.

"The only thing I can really rely on is you, and it can only be you, and you are willing to fight for me."

"Bang! Boom! Boom! Hu Bin was responded to by the sound of three neat pounding shields.

"Crusader Maniac!" Hu Bin pulled out the holy sword and raised it to the sky.

"Invincible!" Ted raised his spear and led the crowd to chant in unison.

The red cross flag on a white background tied to the spear flew in the wind.

……

Lee lifted the canvas covering the goods, revealing the contents of the goods.

A cold-lit crossbow bolt was aimed at Lee's front door, causing him to lose his mind for a moment, and a look of disbelief froze on his face.

"Will die. Will die, will die! It had been a long time since Lee had felt so close to death since he had become so powerful, and this familiar and unfamiliar feeling made his mind rac in that moment. But as if his soul was frozen, no matter how hard Li tried, he couldn't make himself move, and could only watch the hand that pulled the trigger slowly hook.

"Nope. I can't die yet! The strong desire to survive freed Lee from that near-death moment, his head tilted to one side under the influence of willpower, and then time returned to its normal flow. The bolt grazed Lee's forehead and shot out.

"There's an ambush in the car!" Li took a deep breath and quickly shouted, but unfortunately he was still a little late.

The soldiers and numberers who were still trying to chase the fleeing Rune were about to turn back when they heard the sound, but the sharp arrows had already pierced their armor and penetrated deep into their bodies.

In the next moment, screams filled the battlefield, and most of the casualties in this surprise attack were the numbered ones, who were relatively close to the truck, and the people in the truck were all focused on them.

One of the Dark Faction Numberers in scale armor yelled, then drew his weapon and tore the canvas off the car, jumping out of the car, followed by more Numberers.

Seeing that he was in an instant encirclement, Li quickly stepped back without the slightest hesitation, but the oncoming blade forced him to stop and turn back to block, but another weapon from the side pierced his flank.

"How is that possible!" Lee fell to the ground clutching his wounded abdomen in a look of confusion, while a numbered man who arrived behind him added a crossbow to his forehead.

"Remember to go back and divide it!" The numbered man who had stopped Lee before continued to charge towards the other opponents, shouting without looking back.

"Understood!" The numberer of the mending knife drew a crossbow bolt and rewound it, and began to search for the next target.

The numberers of the Gondor camp suffered heavy losses in the first round of attacks, and even Lee, the leader of the operation, was killed in this attack. David and Belikov quickly abandoned the Lune soldiers when they discovered the ambush and hurried back to the convoy with their cavalry, only to find Lee already collapsed next to the wagon.

"Li, damn it, don't even think about running away." Belikov was already on the verge of madness, and he immediately gave the order for the cavalry to wrap up the numbered ones on the group, and the other numbered ones who had recovered also ordered their men to immediately launch a counterattack against the other side, after all, they still had the advantage in numbers at this time.

Seeing the opposing cavalry rushing towards them, the Dark Camp Numberers, who were still fighting near the wagon, quickly returned to the wagon, using the cover of the wagon to counter the cavalry's charge, and the crossbowmen began to pay attention to these cavalry.

The dark side of the defense according to the carriage has a geographical advantage. Constantly stabbing the soldiers who climbed into the carriage, and then letting the corpses fall freely, and if you were lucky, you could hinder the people who climbed up behind.

The numberers of Gondor had tried to organize a long-range assault to contain the enemies in the wagons, but as they prepared to shoot, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

"Watch out for enemy cavalry, archers volley! David, bring your men with me. "Lee's death was a big blow to Belikov, but this was not the time to do it on his own behalf, and although the small number of numbered people in the wagons was difficult to deal with, they were too few in number. As long as you are on guard, the threat to your own side is not very big, but the cavalry coming from a distance is different, if you still let the camp of the team be scattered like this, it is likely to be scattered by the other side in a wave, and then it will not be a matter of how many people are sacrificed, maybe you may be entangled and killed.

Belikov led his cavalry to meet the enemy's cavalry head-on, but did not notice the strange smile of David following behind.

"Turn, be sure to stop them, don't let them rush directly to the archers behind." It was discovered that the direction of the enemy's cavalry suddenly changed. Apparently trying to get around his block, Belikov looked back and saw that the group of Lune cavalry was targeting his 50 archers, while the other armies of the same faction numbered were tangling with the enemy in the car. There is no way to protect those archers.

There was a scream from behind him, and one of Belikov's cavalrymen was pierced in the chest by a cavalry spear, and Belikov turned his head to see the blood-stained tip of the spear glittering with a cold light.

Belikov never imagined that he would be attacked from behind. David's cavalry rushed straight from the rear as he led the others to slow down and turn, killing many of the unsuspecting Gondor cavalry in an instant.

Belikov was lucky enough to escape this fate, and his superb horsemanship saved his life. The momentary turn left the cavalry behind him empty, but Belikov decisively abandoned the cavalry and ended the life of the sneak attacker with the long sword at his waist.

Unfortunately, the horseman's horse under the crotch slammed into Belikov's horse, causing Belikov's mount to stumble and roll to the ground, throwing his master out.

"David!" After enduring the pain and getting up, seeing that it was actually the cavalry under the command of David that he had slashed, Belikov lost his mind for a while, and the space actually did not give a punishment for accidentally injuring friendly soldiers, which made Belikov's heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden.

"Didn't think of it, Belikov!" David led a group of cavalry to surround Belikov in the middle, while the arriving Lune cavalry had already broken into the ranks of the archers, slaughtering the unprotected archers.

"Why?" Belikov said bitterly.

"What a terrible last word." David waved his hand, and the nearby cavalry took off their helmets, and Belikov's face darkened when he saw their faces.

"I see!" Belikov finally knew why he had not been punished for killing his allies, and David's cavalry was all hostile numbering and their men. After those people wore Gondor's full-body armor, it would be difficult to tell if they were not recognizable in space, and it didn't matter when David dropped these cavalry.

David sighed after seeing Belikov's clear expression: "For the sake of friends, you can judge yourself!" ”

"Hey, that's not what we said before." One of the numbered members of the dark camp couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up!" Another numbered man from the dark camp rode out, and the other numberers made way for him.

"Lawrence!" Belikov's eyes widened at the sight of the man, and then he let out an angry roar from his throat, and then forcibly calmed down after thinking about his situation.

"You're so much better than your former teammates, and it's ridiculous that they begged me to spare them before they died, don't they understand the fate of our numberer?" Lawrence said with a solemn face.

"Enough, do you think you can win with such a despicable method, we still have a lot of numbered ones on the battlefield." Belikov yelled.

A pitch-black cavalry spear instantly pierced Belikov's heart.

"Don't worry about it, we still have an infantry of two hundred men rushing here, and I have to say that sometimes, some of the despicable methods you see are still very useful." Lawrence drew his riding gun and swallowed his last breath as he watched Belikov, who had fallen with a twitch.

"After all, it's still the wailing of the defeated dog, I thought you would be a little tougher. Farewell, Belikov. Lawrence, who turned around, sighed softly, as for the previous grievances and grievances between him and Belikov, with the death of Belikov, they were all buried in the depths of Lawrence's memory.

"Lawrence, what did you promise me~?" David asked after a complicated look at the corpse on the ground.

"I promise you that you will definitely report your merits to His Majesty Sauron, and as for your next task, you will remain with Gondor and wait for orders." Lawrence said lightly, and David seemed to get a hint of space, and then left the place contentedly, pretending to be a fugitive and riding in the direction of the White City.

The cavalry that had converged had completely shattered the confidence of the Gondor's numberers. After successive sneak attacks and betrayal blows, they could be said to have fought hard to complete the mission, but now they are simply fighting to save their lives. The fierceness of the numbered ones was stimulated by the cavalry constantly searching for opportunities, and the light of enchanted items and energy skills constantly flashed in the battle array, and every time these lights burst out, they were accompanied by the fall of a cavalryman.

"Captain Lawrence, let's go out too, after all, those numbered ones of Gondor still have some fighting power." Seeing the still scorching situation on the battlefield, one of the numbered people couldn't help but want to join the fight.

"Remember, never put yourself in danger. Don't use a gambling mindset to dictate your actions. Rice, I know you can't bear those ratings, but you have to be fatal. The numbered ones will not be drawn until the end, until those men are consumed by the two hundred rune infantry who arrived later. That's when nothing goes wrong. Lawrence admonished his teammates earnestly.

"Yes, Captain!" Rice immediately dismissed his little thoughts, and he was still very convinced of Lawrence's words. Since following this captain. Lawrence never let them down, and it was such a captain who was sometimes cautious and sometimes bold that they escaped many difficult situations. And has been where it is today. In this battle, they killed one-third of the numbered forces of the Gondor camp in one fell swoop, which can be described as a brilliant battle.

"The Gondor camp, but that's it! Hopefully, the Lohan faction that has beaten Saruman's faction to the ground will satisfy me. A full two hundred Lune infantry appeared not far behind Lawrence, and with their arrival, the battle here seemed to have come to an early end.

……

"Shoot the arrows and let those Rune cubs taste our awesomeness!" Returning to the battlefield, Okov finally regained his old heroism, and shouted to his men to fire round after round of arrows at the big-headed soldiers on the opposite side, and the short-legged infantry had lost a quarter of their men on the way here.

"Squadron leader, we've been on guard for three minutes, are you retreating?" A ranger suddenly shouted.

"Damn, didn't you hear my order, I forgot the order to retreat." Aukov turned his head to look at the Ranger with a sinister look.

"But Chief Reed...... "What else did the ranger want to say?"

"No, keep firing the arrows, and nail me here." Okov is not stupid, although he doesn't understand why Hu Bin wants to attack the convoy here, and he doesn't understand why Hu Bin knows that the enemy here will divide his troops, but if he hasn't figured out what Hu Bin wants to do now, then he is not worthy of being an officer.

Sure enough, as the Lune infantry approached the hillside, a red cross battle flag on a white background emerged from the other side of the hill, and then a group of hoplites emerged from behind the hillside and rushed down towards the enemy who was several times their size.

When the Lunes discovered the cavalry, they hastily organized a wall of shields and spears, although rudimentary, but fatal to the cavalry during the charge. But even Okov didn't think it was a good choice to confront the Lunes head-on, but Hu Bin rushed head-on with dozens of cavalry.

"If you want Lao Tzu to abandon his allies and run away alone, does that elf look down on us Icylian rangers? People who don't want to be looked down upon follow Lao Tzu and these Luen cubs to fight. Okov's words boosted the morale of the rangers, and they desperately pulled their bowstrings to attack the distant gun formation, trying to open a gap for the cavalry, not caring for the Rune soldiers who were already approaching them.

However, the Ranger's attack had little effect on the pikemen guarded by the shieldmen, and the cavalry approached the Lune's pikemen, and could injure their allies if they continued to shoot. Okov had to give the order to turn the arrows against the approaching Lune infantry.

And then, the Icyrian rangers saw an unforgettable scene for them.

"Crush them!" The roar that Hu Bin made with his Drink Order skill was clearly heard even by the rangers in the distance. (To be continued......)
