Chapter 243: From Far Away
Chapter 243: From Far Away
Running on the road without any protection is equivalent to walking in the middle of the city with a pocket of gold coins, which naturally arouses the covetousness of ill-intentioned people, and on the evening of the next day, the carriage, which was still traveling on the road at night, was intercepted. The territory of the Odan's empire is mainly the Great Plains, and on the edge of the provinces there are often all kinds of outlaws, the smaller ones being thieves who steal the goods of passing caravans.
The big ones are also the horse thieves who kill people and steal goods.
The galloping carriage had to stop after some time to change the axle of the carriage, and it was evident that the thieves knew about it.
As the two riders changed the axles, dozens of masked horse thieves surrounded the carriage, apparently not the first time they had been touched, or a rabble, all wearing masks or black cloths covering their faces. Everyone did not move, but sat on their horses, their weapons firmly in their hands, and their legs firmly on their saddles.
These were all movements ready to attack or flee at any time, because the carriage surrounded by them could only be described as strange, and the two riders were there to arrange the brackets under the carriage in a hurry, and then removed the axles that had been worn out, and took out a new joint force from the hanging bucket behind them and replaced them.
Things are abnormal, and the leader of the horse thieves also knows this sentence, but such a stalemate between the two sides is obviously not a good development trend for the horse thieves.
The leader of the horse thieves made a gesture with one hand, and several horse thieves on the periphery raised their crossbows from their horses almost at the same time, and several crossbow arrows shot out in a row, and at the same time, the horse thieves leaning on the inside whistled and urged the horses to attack inside, not to mention the power of the crossbow arrows, but several horse thieves who launched an attack had different reactions, and the long knife in his hand waved faintly, and there was a faint light flickering at the blade.
Fighting spirit, only the fighting spirit of about the eighth level can flash on the weapon, what kind of concept is the warrior of the eighth level of fighting spirit, in the army can already be the most elite warrior, in the civil can have a very good errand in the mercenary guild or lead a team by yourself.
But the men who were obviously the outposts of this group of horse thieves also had such strength, and the two drivers let the crossbow arrows shoot at the cart, and the carriage wall did not know what protection it had, and the crossbow arrows lost their strength as soon as they hit the compartment wall, and became as if they were very heavy and fell to the ground.
The two drivers also hold axles in their hands, which are metal sticks that hold a metal layer of metal. The driver didn't care about the carriage behind him, and the two of them cooperated very skillfully to smash the axle down, and the horse thief who ran in front would probably be hit straight by the thick axle if he did not withdraw his scimitar defense.
The rider's force was unexpectedly strong, and the horse thief's horsemanship was even more surprising. The three horse thieves turned the direction of their mounts in an instant, and the horses stood upright, and even made a circle in the same place, and turned directly to circle back to the original place. The leader of the horse thieves was on the periphery, and he couldn't tell what kind of expression was under the bronze mask.
A dozen horse thieves in the outermost circle picked up their thick riding spears from the hooks on the sides of the horses. They all shouted loudly, and they were skilled in riding, and they raised their horses to a very fast speed in a short time, and their thick riding spears were flattened, and they roared with ferocity, and for a time there was the momentum of thousands of horses. It is evident from this that the horse thieves were well trained, and that the distance between the horses was wide open when they surrounded the carriage, so that they could use their horses to the maximum speed when charging with heavy spears, and like the horse thieves who used scimitars before, the spears of these knights were full of fighting spirit.
Although the two pilots were holding axles and heavy weapons, they were useless in the face of the impact from all directions, and they couldn't resist it, but the expressions of these two people couldn't show panic at all.
In an instant, a cold suddenly spread around the carriage, and all the horses that rushed forward were in the instant cold, neighing, and people stood up.
In the middle of the rapid advance, the horse's sudden change of direction is that no matter how good the riding skill is, it is impossible to maintain balance, and the people who rush to the front are all on their backs. Centered on the carriage, it formed a fixed circle around it, and no one was in the range except for two drivers.
The leader of the horse thieves was shocked in his heart, and now in addition to the three horsemen beside him, dozens of horse thieves either lost control of the horses or fell to the ground, and there was chaos. Only a horse thief sitting beside him was clad in armor chanting something, and a semicircular shield shielded them.
There are only a hundred people in the field now, but the momentum caused by Fang just now seems to be a battle of thousands of troops, at this time, a voice that should never appear here came out of the carriage, the voice of the delicate with a trace of coldness, extremely soft, but the delicate feeling of the eternal ice, although the sound has been coming out of the carriage, but all the people who heard it guessed that the woman who made this sound in the carriage was extremely beautiful.
"Someone disturbed my sleep, um~~, it seems to be the smell of the light fighting spirit, is it the people of the Church of Light?"
"Hahaha~~"
A burst of heart-wrenching laughter, no matter what mood the people present were, they couldn't help but tremble when they heard this laughter, but with this beautiful laughter, just like the touch just now, even a lot of cold air, the range became larger.
But the two pilots, unaffected by the temperature, which was almost comparable to the coldest winter, and did not care to expose their backs to the enemy, turned around and said with great respect:
"These people outside have been following since we left the territory, and now this place is the most sparsely populated place along the way, looking at the way they attack and the orders they give to each other, it should be the knights directly under the Church of Light of Odan. ”
Although the people around him did not show much reaction to this statement, some people couldn't help but tighten the reins of their horses, obviously being right.
The man in the carriage let out a lazy "oh", and then said more casually:
"You're no match for me, let's go, I don't want to kill you all. ”
The head of the horse thieves, or the leader of these Templars, was in doubt. Although the identities of these people were recognized, although the secret was leaked, it was not a big deal, but the chill revealed in the carriage was the place where he had the most scruples, you must know that according to his level, he could already feel this cold, not only in reality, but also in the spirit of this terrifying feeling.
This kind of gap in strength is definitely not able to be made up by relying on this number of people, thinking of this, the leader of the horse thieves gradually shed a cold sweat, no, today these dozens of people were killed by the other party, and it was magnificent, there was no room for refutation.
When the cold grew stronger, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, and there was another chuckle like a silver bell, and the voice in the carriage said:
"Forget it, I'm going to keep a good mood to fight now, I won't waste my energy with you, let's go, don't let me see you again. ”
After saying this, everyone present heard the sound of a gentle knock on the wall of the carriage, and the two riders quickly put on the new axles, and then put on the horses, paying no attention to the horse thieves or the members of the knights who were eyeing them with weapons. Flying away, the horse thieves did not dare to move rashly.
A group of people seemed to be frozen there by the chill that had just permeated the air, watching the carriage go away, and the deep fear in their hearts shocked everyone.
Knowing that the carriage had disappeared into the night, the man beside the leader of the horse thieves, the man who had come out to resist the coercion, asked:
"Master Pullin, have you given up so much?"
The leader of the horse thieves reached out and took off the mask, revealing an extremely resolute face, looking extremely serious, there was a faint evil aura in it, he looked down at the bronze mask in his hand, and there was frost on it. I was even more surprised in my heart, which showed that Fang Cai's coercion was not only the cold caused by the might, but the actual temperature also dropped to the freezing point.
After a moment's hesitation, he turned back to the person next to him who was asking:
"The difference in strength is too far away, and it must be done by Lord Claude himself, but it would be a dereliction of duty for us to give up like this. ”
He turned his head to look at a knight beside him who was arranging his spear, the only one who had not fallen off his horse and maintained his balance in the impact he had just had, and seemed to be clearly superior to his companion. The chieftain, who was called Prin, commanded the knight:
"Henry, you take two men and follow that carriage, don't be presumptuous, and remember to pass through the church there every time you pass through a city. ”
The knight, known as Henry, hung his spear on the side of his horse, bowed to Lord Pullin to receive an order, and pursued him with two men.
The two drivers of the previous carriage drove the carriage there without moving, and the fight was still fierce as if it had never happened, and the ecstasy sound in the carriage was no longer emitted, but in the place of the carriage, it was obvious that there were some traces of water because of the cold just now, and a black cloth or black paper that was originally pasted fell down, and a golden falcon pattern on it was revealed in the moonlight.
