Chapter 17: Karp (3)
Large swaths of heavily armoured soldiers, armed with spears or swords and shields, quickly poured into the settlement. There were at least fifty soldiers. At the head was a knight in his mid-thirties on a horse and in blue armor.
Soon, Alvin and his party were all surrounded. A weapon with a handle radiated a cold light in front of him.
The blue-armored knight rode his horse, watching them condescendingly, pacing back and forth.
Behind him, the fat man who claimed to have lost the gem and the bathhouse owner quickly blocked Alwin's retreat.
"Hand over the gems. The blue-armored knight said expressionlessly.
"I didn't steal the gems!" Alvin argued.
"Then lay down your weapons and let's search. If you can't find it, it will naturally let you go. As he spoke, the knight in blue armor had already waved his hand.
The two soldiers put away their weapons and went forward empty-handed, ready to search.
"Wait!" Alvin hurriedly shouted.
The two soldiers stopped.
The wind blew softly, and the two sides confronted each other.
......
The girl standing on the balcony tilted her head slightly, staring at Alvin from afar.
The middle-aged man in heavy armor behind him said respectfully, "My lord, I really don't understand the meaning of your doing this. ”
"I heard that their magic equipment is quite powerful, but they need to change magic stones, and they can't fight for a long time. The girl turned her face sideways and whispered, "Let them face the ordinary people first, and it's better to pretend that nothing happened here." We'll look for another opportunity. As long as they find an opportunity, they can't run. If they are willing to take off their armor...... That's even better. ”
"But will they believe that nothing is happening here?" asked the middle-aged knight.
"Who knows? At least, they haven't been sure that Karp is completely out of control. The girl smiled faintly.
......
"This is obviously aimed at us, otherwise why would something happen to us as soon as we arrived?" Matthew whispered, "I bet there are no gems at all, they just want to trick us into taking off our armor." It's completely under control. ”
Glancing around, Matthew whispered, "All of them are liars, and we can't trust any of them." ”
Alvin seemed hesitant.
George thought for a moment, took a step forward, took out his family crest and held it high, and shouted: "I am George of the Fernandez family, the first heir to the title of the Fernandez family." Searching for the heir of the Fernandez family is an offense to the Fernandez family, and I resolutely cannot agree to it! If you insist on doing this, then please let your lord come to me!"
All of a sudden, the eyes of everyone present focused on the badge in George's hand.
The knight in blue armor rode up to George's side and craned his neck to look at it. Unprepared, he shouted, "Fake!" and with a "bang" he pulled out his long sword at his waist and slashed at George's hand.
George hurriedly flashed and retreated. The medal in his hand fell to the ground.
Alvin and Matthew, who thought there was still a glimmer of hope, were completely dumbfounded.
Pointing his sword at George, the blue-armored knight shouted, "I've seen the Fernandez family insignia, it's not like this. So, all three of them are liars! thieves! Take them down!"
There was no choice now, and the three of Alvin and his party instantly drew their swords in unison.
The battle begins.
With a whisper, "Try not to use magic, don't kill", and with that, Alvin himself rushed out to meet the soldiers who were rushing head-on.
You have to admit that if you only use ordinary human knights, these three people are top-notch in terms of physical strength and technique. It's just that the experience is a little bit worse. But the current opponents are not yet to test their experience.
Soon, the two sides were in a mess.
Alwyn rolled his sword and flew one of the soldiers straight away, and then knocked the soldier down sideways.
George's sword was extremely fast, and the two swords slashed the hands of the two soldiers besieging him, and the opponent's weapons fell to the ground.
Matthew was a bit embarrassed, but not bad, rushing left and right in the chaos, and although he didn't actually kill anyone, he barely withstood the offensive in one direction.
The blue-armored knight rode around the trio from a distance, looking for an opportunity.
"Get on the horse, get out of here first!" shouted as Alvin took the lead in the direction of the inn.
George and Matthew hurriedly followed, sprinting all the way to the stables in front of the inn, slashing the soldiers on their backs along the way.
If you look at it from Alwin's point of view, their record is probably brilliant. However, from the girl's point of view, it is a different story.
The blue-armored knights were still wandering around the periphery, calmly commanding, and the soldiers were also advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, besieging Alwin and his party all the way. There was no sign of confusion at all.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were almost in the stable.
However, at this moment, three soldiers with spears ran out of nowhere, and stabbed at the horses in the stable.
In the midst of the severe pain, the three war horses struggled, and directly collapsed the already sturdy stable. The top covered with straw was pressed down heavily, and the three warhorses were crushed inside.
The three soldiers also rushed to the top of the collapsed stable, stabbing them with spears from top to bottom. Blood was already slowly spreading on the ground. 、
"Oh my God, what should I do now?"
This scene made Alvin, Matthew and George dumbfounded.
In the distance, the girl smiled again.
Just as they hesitated, dozens of soldiers surrounded them again. You can only stand in place and defend back to back.
Not only that, but Alwin suddenly noticed that there were soldiers coming one after another outside the settlement. There were only fifty soldiers present before the battle, and now there are almost a hundred. All the soldiers were carrying torches.
The windows were open all around, and the merchants who had just arrived were watching with their heads profound.
Seeing that his "best friend" Matthew was among the besieged people, businessman Martin covered his mouth in fright.
"What should I do? Do you want to use the warp and weft sword?" Matthew said nervously, "As long as we take out the warp and weft sword, these guys are no match." ”
"The warp and weft sword should be used against the envoys. Alvin replied quietly.
"If that's the case, then we probably won't have a chance to use it. I've never wanted the Messenger to stand in front of me, really. Or we can pretend that the guy taking the lead is the Emissary. ”
Ignoring Matthew's complaints, Alvin gritted his teeth, took a step forward, took out a scroll from his armor with his hand, looked around at the soldiers who surrounded them, and shouted: "We are the knight detachment sent by the Grand Duke of Bel Hill of the White City, Irene Bel Hill, to come to Karp to investigate! Karp has an envoy, I don't know if you know it, but it's a fact! If you want to destroy us, it can only be the envoy lurking in Karp! It's a trap!"
As soon as the call was over, Alvin carefully noticed the change in the soldiers' expressions by the light of the fire.
Nothing happened, yes, nothing happened. But their expressions were also extremely abnormal. They all gritted their teeth. As soon as the snow melted, they were sweating profusely, and their eyes were staring at Alwin.
The blue-armored knight at the head stood far away on horseback, smiling and looking at Elwin.
Obviously, these people have problems. Reasoning definitely doesn't make sense.
Alvin could only step back and whisper, "It doesn't make sense at all." ”
"You just know?" Matthew gave him a blank look.
"Our horses are gone, they have. With a "bang", Alvin directly covered the mask.
"Huh?"
Matthew and George were stunned for a moment.
The next moment, they looked at each other and put their masks on.
"Take them down! If you resist, you will be killed!" the blue-armored knight waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed up like a tidal wave.
However, probably because the heart of this battle is much stronger, Matthew and they are not as embarrassed as before.
The three of them held their swords and carried their warp and weft swords on their backs and began to charge head-on.
You have to admit that in addition to being magical, the armor produced in Mega Snake City is also far superior to the armor made by humans. Unless they pierce the gaps in their armor, ordinary swords and spears have no effect on them at all.
Just three tin cans charging together, the power is still not small.
And Alvin was a lot heavier. Although he is still not ready to kill directly, he will no longer dodge. Holding his sword, he slashed directly at the other party.
Vast swaths of soldiers poured towards them, but the entire front was pushed back in a frenzied manner.
The blue-armored knight on the horse seemed to be a little panicked, because in the blink of an eye, the three of them were already less than five meters away from the blue-armored knight.
The blue-armored knight rushed forward with his sword raised. However, he was soon dragged off his horse by Alwin.
At the same time, Matthew and George each grabbed a horse, and the three began to break through in a unified direction under the command of Alvin.
Since the blue-armored knight had been thrown to the ground, the soldiers had no one to command, and there was chaos for a while. Alvin and his party broke through the encirclement relatively smoothly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already broken out of the encirclement and ran towards the outside of the settlement.
"I have a question in mind, the knight was ambushed by horses, how did the Lich King Gray solve this problem?"
"His horse is a bone horse, and Tenedas may be better than him. ”
"Well, maybe we'll need a few bone horses too......"
The soldiers were still struggling to catch up, but how could two legs outrun four legs? As for the few cavalrymen who caught up, it was estimated that they could only deliver food.
In the middle of the chaotic settlement in front of the girl, in the square, only a dozen wounded soldiers were left lying on the ground and wailing.
"What's next?" the middle-aged knight asked the girl in a low voice.
"Whoever takes you chases, chases without sleep. If they don't use magic weapons yet, chase them until they're exhausted. The road back was all mountainous, and they couldn't do without Karp on horseback. In this way, even if you have a magic weapon, it is useless. As she spoke, the little girl glanced back at the middle-aged knight, yawned lazily, and continued, "I'll go to sleep, there's news for me." ”
"Yes, sir!" the middle-aged knight bowed and slammed his breastplate.
