Chapter 18: Surprise Attack
Emily's pure English, coupled with her natural voice, echoed in the mountains and forests, like a trickle, comparing the bird's graceful singing voice.
It's just that the girl's face is expressionless, and her face seems to be covered with a layer of frost.
She looked around, and her elf-like eyes revealed some concern and self-reproach.
Emily nodded at the knight named James and said, "Dear James knight, you take a few people to the front to see if I have hurt anyone." ”
Her words were calm and without a hint of emotion. color, but listening to it produces an irresistible majesty.
Knight's face flushed, he tugged on the reins of his horse, named a few names, and looked for it.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Before they could walk ten meters away, there was a sudden burst of fire from the depths of the dense forest. Out of a dozen darts, the girl's horse team hit.
This was completely unexpected by everyone.
The arrow was so swift that it knocked down several low-ranking guards who were not riding horses and several high-ranking knights who rode horses.
James, the leader of the knights, leaped from his horse in order to block a dart shot at Emily, and flew out of the air for a long distance, blocking the eldest lady.
He was a high-ranking knight, and his body was like electricity, so that Emily did not suffer any damage, but the dart, through the heavy armor, was firmly nailed to his chest.
James' tall body fell heavily to the ground, and he couldn't survive.
Suddenly, the red horse neighed a few times in fright, and Emily grabbed the reins to steady its pace.
The cold young lady looked at James lying on the ground, her eyes were cold, her snort couldn't help but tremble, obviously her heart was very painful and atmospheric.
After a sudden attack, the original 16-member guard group fell 11 people in an instant, leaving only 4 high-ranking knights on horseback and one low-level guard.
In order to reduce the target, everyone dismounted.
The guards were rigorously trained, and within two seconds of being attacked, they calmed down and surrounded Miss Emily in the middle, without the slightest fluster.
Dai Lan hid in the leafy trunk of the tree, holding his breath and observing the situation.
Silence, a dead silence.
"Hehe-hehe-hehe-" A sharp, eerie voice came from the depths of the forest, and several horses were frightened and fled in all directions.
One of the knights frowned, thinking to himself: the man who came was very strange but quite powerful. These horses are all experienced in battles, and they didn't expect a few laughs to make them crazy.
The voice sounded again from far and near, wandering lightly among the 10,000-year-old trees: "A punishment knight, three brave knights, and an apprentice knight who does not enter the stream, do you also want to protect your eldest lady, hehehe-"
Dai Lan was sick to his stomach for a while, and he got goosebumps when he listened to the laughter in that slender voice.
Looking at the knights again, I saw that there were several fluorescent horizontal bars embroidered on the placket of their chests, which should be the symbol of the knighthood.
He immediately remembered that when King Arthur used the wormhole to teleport, he had clearly promised himself a knight of punishment. Listening to this person's tone, the punishment knight is really not good.
That King Arthur is too stingy!
In fact, in this era, knights are a very glorious status higher than ordinary soldiers, and they are divided into six levels in total, which are:
Cadet Knight, Brave Knight, Punishment Knight, Glory Knight, Light Knight, and Blessed Knight.
How did Dai Lan know that in the ancient Middle Ages, it was a supreme honor to be the lowest apprentice knight. Without a certain number of military exploits, or extraordinary qualifications, he is not worthy of being a knight at all.
Due to the pitiful lack of inspiration cells in his head, Dai Lan had no talent for practicing magic or martial arts, and at the same time, he had no military merits to speak of. To be able to give him a punishment knight is already very much a back door.
According to the configuration of the army at that time, the trainee knight was one out of a hundred.
That is, a low-level trainee knight can lead a hundred soldiers!
In this sense, the midshipman is equivalent to a company commander today. Although it sounds like a company commander is not a very big official position. But think about it, on the battlefield, when the red knife goes in and the white knife comes out, there are 100 people who die for you, how important it would be.
When Dai Lan was still sighing, the housekeeper Murray kept reminding: "Be careful, I feel that person is about to appear." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the branches of the trees not far ahead began to sway, and although there was no wind, the broad leaves still rustled. The air condensed, and an invisible pressure hit.
The punishment knight raised the heavy iron sword in his hand and whispered to his companion, "The other party is not small, it is very likely that he is a trainee magician!" ”
"What! It's actually a trainee magician! ”
"Oops, the opponent is too strong, but we have to swear to protect Miss to the death!"
"There's a trainee magician in Dundee!"
"We're going to have a lot of trouble this time......"
Miss Emily didn't say a word, staring intently into the dark depths of the jungle. The corners of her mouth twitched from time to time, presumably extremely nervous.
However, she stood straight in the center of the clearing in the woods, dressed in silver delicate armor, in this gloomy and terrifying environment, like a white plum blossom blooming proudly in the cold winter.
So far, Dai Lan and Murray. The housekeeper's communication must also go through the resonance of the voice. That said, Daylan had to speak in order for Murray to hear. It wasn't until later, after learning some simple mind spells, that he was able to communicate with Murray without using voice.
Dai Lan put his hand to his mouth to form an arc, and asked in a very small voice, "What is the origin of the apprentice magician?" ”
Fortunately, the sound of leaves and birds muffled Dai Lan's voice, and no one noticed that there was a person squatting on top of the treetops.
Butler Murray's words came from the depths of his mind: "Mr. Dai Lan, as I said earlier, there are seven levels of magicians. Apprentice Magician is the second level. Don't underestimate the second-level magician, his energy is far higher than that of the Punishment Knight, equivalent to the skill of two Glory Knights. ”
Dai Lan felt a chill in his heart, and he was named a Knight of Punishment by Arthur's old thing......
"Judging from the life frequency, the other party has indeed reached the level of a trainee magician. You must be careful. ”
"Got it."
Before he could finish speaking, there was another noise in the dense forest, and then a person slowly walked out.
The man was wrapped in a black robe, with a dark green ribbon tied around his waist, and two wavy lines embroidered in fluorescent orange at the end of the ribbon, indicating that he was indeed a second-class magician, that is, a trainee magician.
His face was completely obscured by the thick black hat, and only two wolf-like eyes leaked out, glowing a pale green.
The man's hands were white and thin, clutching an ebony staff, and he tapped it on the ground, and suddenly he defied everyone mercilessly with that trademark shrill laugh.
In his eyes, everyone is just lambs to the slaughter.
