The group waited until it was dark and did not see Wengris and them coming, Kane meant that there was no time now, and they had to leave early tomorrow morning regardless of whether the two of them arrived or not, after all, there were now more than a dozen lives here, and compared to the two loyal retinues, it was naturally the lives of the people here who were more important.

Although Bert has some objections to this, it is difficult to say anything, he also understands that under the current situation, it is already benevolent and righteous to wait until now, as for whether he can see the two again in the future, this only depends on the arrangement of fate.

Unexpectedly, while a few people were talking, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of people hurriedly took out their weapons and guarded themselves, Kane climbed up with a big tree next to him, opened the eye of the night to check, and found that it was none other than Wengris and Baroque.

Kane jumped down so that everyone didn't need to panic, it was Wengeris and them, and the group was relieved to hear it, and some surprise appeared on Bert's face.

The two horses soon came to the front of several people, and Kane was about to say something when he saw Baroque panting and jumped off his horse and shouted, "My lord, hurry up, there are pursuers coming behind!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say that, and Kane grabbed him, "Who is here, and how many?"

Baroque breathed a sigh of relief, "There are about twenty or thirty people, all of them are masters, and the leaders are two silver knights, we are afraid of colliding with them, so we made a detour." ”

Kane frowned, "Where did you meet them?"

"In the afternoon, I met them in the woods a hundred miles away, they didn't seem to have a clear goal, they searched for something all the way, and the speed of action was not very fast. ”

"Silver Knight?" James frowned, "it's dangerous if it's Talon here." ”

Kane hadn't heard the name, "Who are they?"

James looked at him, "Eagle Claw is a combination, there are four people in this combination, they are the deputy commanders of the Royal Praetorian Guard, directly under the king, specializing in solving some big people who are difficult to solve on the surface, because the nickname of the orthodox leader is Falcon, so several people are called Eagle Claw, they are almost proficient in all tracking and killing techniques, all of them are ruthless characters, very tricky." ”

Kane was also panicked when he heard him say that, and hurriedly called out to everyone: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and change your clothes and pack your things, it seems that we have to rush overnight, whether these people are here or not, in short, they are likely to come to us!"

Several people answered, and rushed to pack their things, and after a while they all changed into the clothes of the people under Bill before, Bill was the leader of the knights, and his wounds were also properly treated, and now he looked much more energetic than before.

Fortunately, the horses were enough for one person to ride, Kane saw that the group had already mounted their horses, and jumped on it himself, "Now that the people have arrived, we can no longer follow the marks of Bert and them before, it is very likely that this has become a tool for those chasing soldiers behind, Bill, you are the most familiar with this place, is there a road around here that is both hidden and slightly easier to walk?"

Bill, who was sitting on the horse next to him, still tied up with five flowers, nodded bitterly when he heard this, and pointed in the direction with his only movable chin.

Believing that he should understand the consequences of lying, Kane undoubtedly cleared the way and led the group forward.

He calculated the time as he walked, these people were probably sent out with Clarence, Clarence can fly in the sky so he arrived two days earlier than them, of course this is not important, imagine that if Clarence knew about their existence, then with his character, he should remind himself to be careful of this group of people, since he did not remind, it means that it is very likely that he did not know that the king sent another group of people.

This is a clear sign that the king has become suspicious of Clarence, or that he no longer trusts the people of the guild, so that the situation in the imperial capital is now more complicated.

In fact, there is another point that Kane has not been able to figure out, according to Clarence, the king may have secretly allied with those dark creatures for something, in this case, why do those dark creatures still attack Voss City with great fanfare, they can let the king take the initiative to give up Voss City to them, but they can easily get it, but they still have to sacrifice their lives to rob it in danger of being expelled from the Holy See, there must be some ulterior big secret in this!

Of course, this is only speculation, and it is not yet certain who is in collusion with those dark creatures, but the king is more suspicious, and if that person is not him, then everything may not be the way it was expected.

There is no moon tonight, and everyone does not dare to light a fire in order not to attract attention, so the group is not very fast in the dark woods, but fortunately, the leading Kane has the ability to see night, although this night vision is also a little limited, but the big danger can still be seen, at least it will not hit the tree headlong.

The sound of the horse's hooves of tapping and tapping echoed around, and from time to time there would be the sound of birds or some small animals being disturbed, and the group of people lined up in a long line, except for the five orcs whose strength was unknown, the others had cultivation, and now they could only rely on the sound of the horses' hooves of their teammates in front of them to find their way.

"Whoosh!" Just as everyone was listening intently to the sound of their companions' horses' hooves, suddenly there was a loud sound of breaking the sky in front of them, and the leading Kane frowned, and at the last moment, he suddenly waved his right hand and grabbed the thing that had flown in front of his head.

It was an arrow, and this kind of arrow Kane had seen before, it was an arrow fired by a ranger's crossbow that was specially used for woods warfare, it was short and sharp, and the man with the bow was obviously an experienced man, and he could even aim at Kane's eyebrows even when several people were constantly moving.

Kane frowned, and instead of stopping, he fired the arrow backwards with a wave of his hand.

"Ahh

Before the group could understand what was going on, they heard Kane call: "Follow me and keep walking, pay attention to dodging the dark arrow!"

Several men were silent, and they took out their weapons with their hands that did not hold the reins, but the horses never stopped.

Kane had made arrangements before, with him, Leah, James, and of course Bill in front, and Sarah, Mark, and Wengris at the back, and the safest part in the middle was Shirley and the five orc women, so that even if there was any danger, Shirley's defensive spells could protect those orcs at the first time.

"Whoosh!" another sound broke through the air, but this time not from the front, but from behind.

Although Salad does not know night vision, but the combat instinct is very keen, Salad's giant sword gave full play to his advantage, directly in front of the gear, the arrow is naturally impossible to penetrate, only 'dang' sound and then disappeared.

As the arrow came, as if some mechanism had been triggered, the sound of swishing was heard incessantly, and seven or eight arrows were shot from different directions.

"Be careful!" Kane shouted, and in his desperation, he didn't have time to chant and cast spells, so he could only use his sword to cut down the arrows around him one by one.

Suddenly there was a clanging sound, and Kane was nervous, afraid that he would hear someone's screams at this time.

Mark broke away from the previous line and crossed to the five orcs to block arrows for them, and he didn't have to worry too much about salad behind him.

Those people were obviously hiding in the trees, and several people were moving all the time, so the direction of the arrows gradually moved to the back, Kane roughly estimated that the number of the other party should not be very large, only let a few people be careful, and continue to move all the way.

Then there was the sound of leaves, and the men seemed to be shuttling directly from tree to tree, and although the forest was not very dense, it was not difficult to do.

Kane frowned, there was no way to go on like this, but now that he was in charge of leading the way, he naturally couldn't run to the back to support, and just as he was thinking about what to do, his pupils instantly contracted, and he saw that there was a thin tripwire between the two big trees in front of him!

Kane immediately threw the long sword in his hand directly, and heard a whoosh, the thin rope was made of unknown materials, and the elasticity was very good, and after being cut by Kane's sword, it bounced to both sides.

"Huh?" Kane suddenly heard a suspicious voice from behind the tree, thinking that he didn't expect him to find out in such a situation.

Indeed, if you change to ordinary people, I am afraid that there is a chance that there will be a nine-layer road, one is that the surroundings are already dark, and the other is because of the arrows shot from the tree before, ordinary people will habitually pay attention up, so that it is difficult to find the strangeness under the feet, it is conceivable that the person who designed it must be a veteran, and his intentions are also very ruthless.

Kane snorted, slapped the tree, and then leaned down with one hand to pick up his sword, regardless of whether the slap hit or not.

'Boom!' Kane's horse had barely passed by when he heard a loud bang behind him, and the tree naturally snapped in response, and the corners of Kane's mouth raised, because there was a muffled snort mixed with this voice, indicating that his palm should have hit someone, and it is unknown whether he was killed or not.

Kane was afraid that a few people would be distracted by the noise, so he hurriedly shouted: "Pay attention to the arrows behind you and keep going!"

The jingle continued, but Kane didn't pay much attention to it, just single-mindedly leading his way, beware of the danger ahead, James and Leah didn't quite understand his previous actions because they couldn't see it, but they followed him without saying a word.
