Chapter 1 The Knight Who Walked into the Forest
Fjord Theater of Operations.
Seeing Roy jumping off his horse, everyone was stunned.
"Sir, what do you mean...... Are we going to kill these scouts?" Sauron asked.
"We can't let Tielun go to the Eastern Front to join up with the rest of the Filipe forces," Roy said, "and once they unite, we have no chance of winning." So, we have to stop Tielun. β
While sorting out the equipment on his body, he turned his gaze to the north: "Since he sent scouts to block the mountains and forests and hide his whereabouts, then if we want to find him, we must start with these scouts on the periphery, as long as we kill them all, Tie Lun will be exposed." β
The knights all looked at each other.
Although armed with armor, they are not afraid to fight any knight army. Even if they can't annihilate the enemy, they are confident that they will inflict heavy damage.
However, the premise of this qiΔ is to be able to grasp the whereabouts of the opponent and adopt an ambush strategy.
There were only twenty of them after all.
The disadvantage of their forces makes them have no more options.
Only by ambushing can you surprise and maximize the attack power of the Heavenly Change Knight. Only by surveying the retreat route in advance can we ensure that we can fly thousands of miles away without giving the opponent a chance to counterattack without a single blow.
Otherwise, they could pay a heavy price.
After all, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Transformation Battle Armor was, their body and source power were not infinite.
When the source power is exhausted and exhausted, let alone the first-order magic costume, even if it is a fifth-order magic costume, it is just an ornament. Its effect is not much greater than that of ordinary armor.
Therefore. When they heard Miki's report that they couldn't grasp Tie Lun's whereabouts, everyone felt troubled.
The Elven Ranger's battlefield reconnaissance ability and intelligence shielding ability are the most critical elements. If you can't know the whereabouts of the other party, this battle can't be fought at all.
Everyone is also trying to figure out how to do it.
But no matter how they thought about it, they didn't expect that Roy was actually ready to attack the other party's scouts.
Those scouts have received special training and have very rich experience in mountain and forest warfare and means of survival. They are good at running in the mountains and forests, and they are good at attacking in the dark, with a pair of feet. They can run dozens of kilometers without stopping.
And the scouts in the Black Lightning Knights. It is the best among scouts.
Pulling a knight accustomed to charging into the mountains and forests to strangle such an opponent is no different from putting a lion in a swamp to fight a crocodile.
Moreover, as a tool for Tielun to shield battlefield information. These scouts are more than a net of protection that he has spread. And his tentacles, too. As long as there are casualties on these tentacles. Let him feel the pain, and he will react immediately.
Once he set a trap in reverse, he even returned to the army to besiege himself. There are no war horses. Without mobility, these twenty Heavenly Transformation Knights are just a big piece of fresh fat.
This time, even Sauron felt that Roy was a little too impatient.
Several long knights secretly glanced at each other, and they were all a little worried about whether Roy would be annoyed and angry because of the fact that he had pounced in the eyes well before.
This does not bode well.
Everyone was thinking about how to put forward their opinions without embarrassing Roy too much, and Miqi was already frowning and said, "No." β
Seeing Roy turn his head to look at him in surprise, Mi Qi said unceremoniously: "Don't think that you are the Heavenly Change Knights, you can kill those Fei Lie scouts." When you enter the mountains and forests, you may not even see their shadows. Even if you see it, you can't catch them with your speed. β
She said, glancing at the knights' horses: "Crossing mountains and mountains is different from you riding horses." β
Miki spoke up to everyone's hearts.
"Yes, sir. It's no problem for you to let me charge. But fighting in the mountains and forests is really not our forte. β
"Those scouts are more nimble than monkeys, and they can't deal with them when they hit and run. β
There was a lot of discussion among the people.
However, in the face of everyone's dissuasion, Roy just smiled and said, "Don't worry. I know it. Let's go. β
Seeing Roy walking towards the mountains and forests first, the knights could only dismount one after another. He grabbed his bow and sword, straightened his outfit, and followed quickly.
Knowing that once Roy made a decision, it would be difficult to dissuade him, Miki sighed, waved his hand and beckoned the two elves, telling them to take care of these horses and try to find a way around the foot of the mountain in case of emergency.
After carefully explaining, she quickly chased after Roy.
Fifteen minutes later, twenty Heavenly Change Knights had already led Miki to go halfway up the mountain and enter the blockade area of the Filie Scouts.
It is a mountainous area with dense primeval jungle.
Huge trees, fifty or sixty meters high, with canopies that shade the sky. Under the trees are low weeds and thorns. The terrain is rugged and steep, the dirt floor is covered with rotting leaves accumulated over the years, and the roots and stones that protrude from the ground are covered with moss. When you step on it, it's wet and slippery.
For knights, it was torture to move forward in such a place.
With each step, the barbs of the roadside plants will hook their clothes. Many of them have small blood marks on their arms.
Although this is not much of an injury for a fighter. However, the itching pain from time to time still made them feel that they would rather be slashed.
And those nasty insects, snakes, rats and ants are the enemies that make them helpless.
A thumb-sized spotted mosquito will bulge into a large red and swollen bag with just one bite. There is also a fist-sized black spider, not to mention bumping into it, just looking at the fluffy legs, it makes people retreat.
If you hit its cobwebs headlong, the cobwebs that stick to the sweaty skin will not be able to be torn clean in less than five minutes. Although these spider silks are not harmful to the human body, the feeling of greasy smell still makes people feel impetuous.
There are also poisonous snakes that roam in the grass or entangle themselves in the branches, often coming out of the cold and making people start.
They even saw a nest of man-eating ants. Huge mounds of earth, towering over a clearing in the woods. There are fist-sized caves densely packed on it.
Countless black and red man-eating ants crawled around on it.
Although this first-order demonic beast is fragile. But if it is surrounded by thousands of man-eating ants, even a giant elephant will turn into a white skeleton in just half an hour of prayer.
It wasn't until they walked into this kind of place that the knights understood why elven hunters were called natural jungle hunters.
It's hell for yourself. For the elves, however, it is heaven.
As children of the forest, elves have a magical power that brings all plants and animals to nature.
When they run. Vines and thorns in the forest. will be separated from their side.
As they leap on the treetops, the tree catches them with its branches and sends them to the tops of the next tree.
When they were gliding. The breeze reverses the direction of the wind. Stir up their clothes. Help them.
And when they rest, the frogs and insects around them will disappear. The verdant grass weaves into soft mats beneath them, and the leaves shade the blazing sun. The small animals snuggled quietly beside them, and the flowers bloomed beside them, accompanying them to sleep with a faint fragrance of flowers.
In order to cooperate with the knights, Miki gathered all thirty elven hunters scattered nearby. Compared to their light steps, the knights felt like a bunch of clumsy bears.
The elves thought the same thing.
As they watched the knights slip along the steep mountain road in their heavy armor, they felt that Roy's decision was a huge mistake. And this also means that in this battle with the Filie scouts, not only do they not help, but they also have an additional drag, they must be more cautious, more careful, and the scope of exploration is also larger.
However, before the elven hunters could discover the whereabouts of the Filie Scout, when they were over a small hill, Roy, who was walking in the middle of the group, suddenly made a gesture to everyone, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "We have a guest coming." β
The knights were startled, drew their swords, and stood in battle formation. The elven hunters around them looked at Roy with confused eyes.
"Guest?" Miki asked curiously, "You're not mistaken, are you?"
In order to protect these clumsy knights, she has extended the cordon to a distance of three hundred meters. There are elven scouts roaming around, and there are almost no dead ends.
If an enemy did approach, she was confident that she would know at least three minutes before Roy.
Roy may be great in other ways, but it would be ridiculous to say that in the jungle he is sharper than himself and thirty elven hunters.
"Of course not!" Roy said affirmatively, looking intently in the northwest direction, "He's right there." β
Years of hunting have cultivated his extraordinary acuity. In addition, from the moment he walked into the jungle, he opened the eye of the dead. Therefore, it is possible to clearly perceive the movement of life around it through the blood element.
"You guys wait here," Roy said with a smile, "I'm going to get this guy back." β
As he spoke, he kicked his feet and jumped out like a cheetah.
Everyone knew that Roy was fast and agile, but they had never seen him run through the jungle before.
As soon as he kicked his legs, the ground seemed to sink silently, and a scattered shock wave blew away the fallen leaves and dust in the forest, pushing his thin body to shoot out.
One step, two steps, three steps!
After three steps, Roy's speed had increased to the extreme.
Everyone only heard a whoosh, Roy's figure had already swept past a large tree, a ninety-degree change of direction and transverse, leaping through a cluster of low bushes, and then several changes of direction in succession, through the dense trees, like a lightning light flying close to the ground, quickly disappeared behind the hillock dozens of meters away.
Looking at the direction in which Roy disappeared, the slightly swaying grass not only stunned the knights, but even the elven hunters were dumbfounded.
"So fast!"
"Oh my God, what kind of body is this. β
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have dared to believe the scene in front of them.
At this moment, Roy is like a wind passing through a glade, a fish that has penetrated the bottom of the water. His form blends completely into the forest. Not only is it lightning fast, but it has an indescribably coordinated beauty. The trees. The grass, the slippery ground, and the branches that grew were no obstacle to him.
Shocked, Miki and the elves leapt onto the treetops and looked northwest.
Roy's familiar, thin figure scurried through the jungle.
He is extremely fast, and whenever there is a tree in front of him, he will change direction at high speed.
Running and changing direction is one of the factors that allow elves to distance themselves from humans in the jungle.
They are slender and light, with beautiful bones and muscles. It contains elk-like explosiveness, bounce and flexibility. It's their racial gift.
Humans don't have that talent.
Even if you have been trained to run in the mountains. And the old falcon with the help of the fighting spirit and battle ring is not comparable to the most ordinary elf.
However, this deep-seated understanding was shattered by the sight in front of us.
Roy's movements are simple. Straight, traverse. Go straight again. Traverse again. Uphill, downhill, jumping. Reentrant......
However, when these seemingly simple movements were combined by him in a posture that was almost like flowing water, his thin figure turned into a winding electric light.
In the blink of an eye, Roy was two hundred meters away.
After crossing a hollow in the jungle and jumping over a fallen tree, he stopped, half-crouched, like a predatory feline, and observed for a few moments before slowly moving forward.
Ten meters, twenty meters......
Roy moved step by step towards a mossy rock in front of him, as light as a civet.
"Is there an enemy there?"
An elf whispered in Miki's ear, his face full of confusion.
They had extended the cordon to three hundred meters away, and the rock was also within the detection range.
But several elven hunters scattered in that direction found no trace of the enemy. How could Roy find out. You know, he was walking in the middle of the line before, and there was still a distance of more than 200 meters from the rock.
As soon as the elf's words fell, he suddenly saw Roy flash from the left side of the rock, shoot lightning in front of a large tree that was large enough for five people to hug, and slash down with a sword.
The long sword cut through the rough and hard bark of the tree almost without hindrance. With a flick of Roy's wrist, large pieces of wood chips flew out. In the giant tree, a large hole appeared.
In the cave, a frightened Philip scout was staring at Roy blankly.
And the tip of Roy's sword was resting on his throat, moving up and down with his hard-to-stretch Adam's apple.
The elves were all dumbfounded.
They never dreamed that there would be a natural hole in the big tree with a complete appearance and lush foliage. I didn't expect that there was a Feilie scout hiding there.
"Come out. Roy ripped the pigeon whistle off the neck of the Philip scout, and at the same time, pulled an earplug out of his ear.
The skinny Philip scout emerged from the hollow in the tree.
In the process, his gaze was glazed and his movements stiffened. Looking into Roy's gaze, it was like seeing a ghost.
Hiding in a tree hole is one of the thousands of ways scouts can hide. However, because of the limitations of this method, few people use it.
First of all, it is not easy to find a large tree with a complete exterior but a natural hollow inside that is large enough to accommodate a person. Secondly, because this method of concealment is limited by the terrain, few people are willing to give up the advantage of speed and agility to stay in a dark and small space, except for cornered scouts.
The Philip scout was certainly not cornered.
This is the battlefield where they and the elves are fighting for the right to control information, and in this mountain forest, they have already fought the elven hunters here several times.
However, although they forced all the elves back, they were unable to capture even one of them.
It was difficult for them to come within a hundred meters of the elves without being spotted. And once discovered, the elves' speed allows them to escape the pursuit quickly and disappear into the depths of the jungle.
Therefore, after discovering this tree hole, this Filiet scout, hid here.
Once the elves re-enter the area, passing by, he will be able to use this tree hole to silently appear behind the elves, and fight his companions back and forth.
When the time comes, many people dare not say that it is easy to catch one or two elves.
In order to cooperate with him, his companions withdrew the blockade almost a kilometer north. And. He also learned from a foreign race a technique of turtle breath that bordered on feigned death.
It can be said that no one would have been able to spot him if he had not put his ear to this tree.
However, he never dreamed that just as he was staying in the hollow of the tree, waiting for the enemy to pass by, a long sword would directly break through the trunk of the tree and put it on his throat. It was so fast that he didn't even have time to say a warning.
Looking at the black-haired boy in front of him with a confused face, Fei Lie Scout was shocked and curious. He really wanted to ask. How exactly did the other party find out?
But. The person who was qualified to ask questions was obviously the one with the sword in his hand.
"Honestly sΓΉ me," Roy looked into the eyes of the Philip scout, "how many of you are there?"
The Philip scout kept his mouth shut. Think quickly about this countermeasure.
Although he was caught by Roy. And put his sword against his throat. However, the other party's delicate appearance and too young age still made him feel that he had a chance.
He is an impartial one-star knight. Exercises and martial arts. Take the agile route.
He shot extremely fast, and it only took a second for him to be able to use the cutter hidden in his sleeve to wipe the brunette kid's throat.
And even if the opponent holds a sword to the throat, he has a hundred ways to create the other party's negligence, and then flee here with a speed that the opponent has never even seen.
As the best of the Black Lightning Knight scouts, he has absolute confidence.
However, just as he was thinking about what method to use, Roy suddenly spoke: "Do you think that if I blink my eyes, the knife in your right sleeve can cut my throat?"
The eyes of the filief scout froze.
"Or do you think you can somehow distract me and get away with it?" Roy tilted his head with a smile, "For example, pretending to see something behind me?"
The Philip scout only felt stiff and his vest cold.
"I think," Roy said with a smile, "that we would be better off talking in a different way." β
As he spoke, Roy snapped his fingers with his left hand.
Philip Scout saw that a transparent light shield fell from the void, covering himself and the black-haired boy in front of him in the center. At the same time, a green vine wrapped around his body like a python, binding himself firmly.
Soundproof enchantment, bondage!
This kid turned out to be a magician!
The heart of the Philip scout fell to the bottom of the icy valley in an instant.
In his eyes, magicians are a group of eccentric and withdrawn people who like to lock themselves in dark magic towers. Although their bodies are weak, they hold mysterious and terrifying powers.
The whole of their lives is all kinds of magical realities.
These realities, while bringing them more knowledge and more powerful magic, are also accompanied by something creepy.
For example, punishment.
In the pockets of these guys, there are all kinds of potions. You definitely won't want to taste any of them.
They can make your whole body rot a little bit, they can make you itch so much that you want to hit your head to death, they can amplify your pain ten times and a hundred times, even if an ant crawls on your body, it will make you feel like a knife is cutting. On top of that, they can even directly apply pain to your nerves, leaving your body intact, but the pain is so painful that you regret why you were born.
"What do you want to do??" the Philip scout struggled desperately, his eyes full of fear.
"I'm not too fond of torturing people, but I'm not going to let you continue to have some kind of hope, which will hurt you. Roy's slender fingers ran down the Philip scout's chest, and after touching a spot, the longsword stabbed into it without hesitation.
And as the blade entered the body of the Fei Lie scout, there was also a wisp of fighting energy poured into Roy.
This wisp of fighting energy, as if it was alive, swam inward along the wound. A moment later, it had reached the part that Roy wanted to destroy, and then exploded.
Looking down at the black-haired boy stabbing the sharp blade into his body, the Philip scout didn't feel too much pain. It felt as if the sword was going through the gap in his muscles.
Soon, though, his face changed.
He found that after this sword. There was a sudden pain in his body. Then, the source power was like a flood opening the floodgates, frantically leaking out.
"What did you do?" said Fei Lie scout with an angry roar as he desperately ran the Dou Qi Gong method.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the source power that was pushed by the exercises could not form Zhou Tian. It runs in the meridians for only one section, and it disappears without a trace like snow under the bright sun.
And soon, even the Source Force Nebula in the body was affected.
The source power accumulated after years of hard work is rapidly draining at this moment. The swirling nebula had been torn apart like a broken plate in an instant. All the source power was restored to pure heaven and earth spiritual power. It radiates from the hundreds of points and thousands of orifices of the body.
Knight of the Impartial. Brave knights, armed knights......
In just a minute or two, the Fei Lie Scout watched his Dou Qi level plummet, and finally. When the last drop of Source Force in the Source Force Nebula dissipates. He sat down on the ground limp.
At this time, he was. has become an ordinary person who has no vindictiveness at all.
"Devil ......" Philip Scout looked at Roy in despair, and kept muttering to himself, "You are the devil." β
"Sometimes. It's better to lose your fighting spirit than to lose your life," Roy drew his sword and performed a small healing spell on his wound, and said seriously, "Isn't it?"
Philip scout's eyes glazed over.
It was only at this time that he understood how terrible this harmless teenager in front of him was.
Underneath his bewildered and immature face was coldness, resoluteness and decisiveness. As long as it is what he wants, he will definitely get it. And as his enemy, no one can get the slightest mercy and patience from him.
"Can you sue me now?" Roy pulled out a pill bottle from the spatial ring and looked at the Philip scout, playing with it.
"There were 10 of us. Leading the way was our captain Potter," Philip Scout said sadly and correctly, "Lord Tielun received a letter from Lord Makuya, and rushed to join him on the Eastern Front. He took the path to the north, past the Bologni mines, around the edge of the war zone, and then to the southeast. Now there are a total of one hundred and forty-seven knights in the team......"
After saying all the information he knew in one breath, the Philip Scout looked at Roy with a pale face: "I know so much. β
By the time the Philip scouts confessed, the elven hunters and knights had already rushed over.
Everyone looked at this poor scout who almost shook out the privacy of peeing his pants when he was a child, and looked at each other for a while.
Such a guy is really the scout of the Black Lightning Knights who forced Mi Qi to retreat helplessly just now? From discovering to capturing him, to prying his mouth open, Roy didn't even use it for five minutes!
Is this because he is too weak, or is Roy too vicious?!
After listening to the scout's confession, Roy nodded, played with the pigeon whistle and earplug in his hand, and said, "So, the last question." Tell me your whistle signal ........."
A few minutes later, the scout was taken down.
Roy looked around, only to find that everyone was looking at him with an unusual gaze, except for Oliver, who was casually scratching his neck with his hind legs, his eyes foggy.
"What?" Roy asked curiously, "Is there any problem?"
Everyone looked away and smiled bitterly at each other.
This guy actually asks everyone what questions they have. Didn't he know how amazing it was for him to catch an elite Firet scout as easily as he could catch a rabbit?
How on earth did he find this Filiet scout hiding in a tree hollow from such a distance?
However, Roy didn't have time to guess everyone's thoughts now, he played with the pigeon whistle and earplugs in his hand, and his brain spun rapidly, and after a while, the corners of his mouth hooked a slight arc.
"Thorge," Roy ordered, "you lead the group and continue north." It's okay to go a little slower. β
"Yes. Thorge replied.
"Miki, you and your people are in charge of the surrounding intelligence, please note that the distance between you and Soge and them cannot exceed two hundred meters. During the investigation, at least three people should work in groups to protect each other. Roy said.
"Two hundred meters?" Miki was a little confused.
For elves, a distance of two hundred meters is no different from walking next to a team.
This strange provision is tantamount to a complete waiver of the right to control regional information. Let her and the elven hunters under her command not be able to play their own specialties and roles.
Still, despite some confusion, Miki nodded in obedience.
With Roy for so long, she knows better than anyone how many weird ideas are hidden in Roy's head.
Don't look at this guy's confused face, but at the beginning, the caravan defense battle on the banks of the Xilai River was planned and commanded by him. Even the Black Skull Bandits and Arsene Wenger's Lord Guard are planted in his hands.
"Remember," Roy emphasized, "just go north. As long as the enemy does not attack you, you will not care about anything. They attacked, and the people on the periphery moved closer to the central knight. If they run away, don't chase them, just keep pushing north. As for the rest of the ......"
Roy turned his head to look at the secluded mountain forest, and said with a smile: "Leave it to me and Oliver." β
Looking at the calm gaze of the black-haired young man, everyone pondered his arrangement, and then thought of the strength he had shown before, gradually, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something.
They already have a hunch.
This time, the Ferrets are going to be unlucky again...... (To be continued......)
