Chapter 9: The Hunt
"Won't they attack the city of Tus? Maybe the city of Tus will be able to delay a little longer. ”
Another baron said.
"Toos City?"
A hint of mockery appeared on Fairhouse's lips, "Viscount Walter fled faster than anyone else, and I heard that they had abandoned the city of Tus two days before our departure. Now the only hope is reinforcements from the imperial capital, and I don't know when they will arrive. ”
"Do you have any news about reinforcements?"
A knight asked.
Everyone shook their heads, although they were all well-informed, they had not heard of the Empire's reinforcements to the Darkmoon Fortress, which made them feel extremely strange in their hearts.
What the hell is wrong with the Empire?
Next to a carriage, Leo was concentrating on roasting meat over the fire.
He carefully sprinkled salt on the roast meat and smeared it with spices, and suddenly a strange smell came to his nose.
"I didn't expect Brother Leo to be so good at barbecue, I really want to eat it. ”
Next to him, a delicate and lovely girl with a hint of cunning in her eyes said.
Her name is Nitya and she is the daughter of Baron Lane.
Baron Lane had a very good relationship with Leo since he was a child, and Baron Ryan always wanted Nidia to marry Leo, but Helena firmly disagreed.
Helena always believed that Leo should find a woman who had a wizard in the family as a wife, which was a common idea at the time.
"Okay, would you like to taste some. ”
Leo said.
"Okay, Brother Leo, can you tear a little for me. ”
Nitya said with a coquettish face.
Leo looked at her speechlessly, this little girl has been getting more and more touchy recently.
He cut off a small piece with his dagger and placed it on a plate in front of Nitya, who ate it in her mouth with gusto.
At this moment, Leo's heart moved, and he looked at the dense forest in the distance.
"What's wrong? Brother Leo. ”
Nitya asked.
"Something seems wrong. ”
Leo said, and stood up.
"Protect yourselves and don't come. ”
Leo walked towards the forest, twitching his nose constantly.
Nydia was very well-behaved and didn't follow, she knew what it took to be a likable girl.
Leo's face became more and more solemn, and the dense forest in the distance was like a monster in the dark, as if there were countless dangers buried.
He walked up to Fairhouse and said, "Father, an enemy is coming. ”
In the darkness of the dense forest, Scarface looked at the crowd in the distance with a hideous expression.
After the fall of the Darkmoon Fortress, he rushed to the Fairhouse territory non-stop, but he didn't expect that the building was empty, and Fairhouse had already left the territory with people.
His bitter hatred led him to lead his men to chase after him, but he didn't expect him to join up with the other nobles.
"The enemy may have more than twenty knights, of which there are about three peak knights, and in addition to that, there are about three hundred reserve knights and knightly squires. The strength is quite strong. ”
A hoarse voice came from the darkness.
"When did the Shadow Demon Knight even detect the inaccurate information, he even used the word maybe. ”
A female knight next to Scarface said with a frown, her skin was delicate, her face was good-looking, she had a golden ponytail, and she was wearing full-body plate armor, and on the chest of the plate armor was a fiery red fallen warhorse, which was the famous Nightmare Beast.
And she is the squadron leader of the Nightmare Knights, one of the four knights of the Canaan Empire, after meeting Scarface and others on the way, after Scarface's repeated requests, she agreed to hunt down Fairhouse and others together.
"Captain Freya, you may not know that there is a strange little guy in this team who can spot me in the night. ”
Shadow Knight said.
"Oh, yes. ”
Freya said this, but there was a look of disbelief on her face.
Despite her young age, Freya is well-informed, and she has never seen a knight who can spot a Shadow Knight.
The Shadow Demon Knight snorted coldly, and did not defend himself.
"I think we should tell them the truth, as long as they know the truth, then their will to fight will crumble, and they will definitely surrender on their own initiative. ”
Freya said.
"No, they participated in the encirclement and suppression of my son, and I want them to die!"
Scarface flatly refused.
"You idiot! as long as they surrender, by the time we join up with the Nightmare Knights, their lives and deaths will not be in your hands. ”
Freya said angrily.
Scarface thought about it, it seemed that this was the same truth, and in the face of the murderous enemy, he found that he was becoming more and more impetuous.
"Okay then, let's do it. But the Fairhouse family will never surrender, I don't want them to surrender, I want to capture them alive. ”
Scarface said.
"No problem, just let them kill each other, we can still watch a good show. ”
Freya said with a smile.
Scarface has a cruel smile on his face, seemingly interested in what is about to happen.
"Oh no, they seem to have spotted us. ”
At this moment, the Shadow Demon Knight said.
Freya looked at the firelight and saw that at some point, the enemy had begun to be on alert, and a large number of knights were converging in this direction.
"Leo, are you sure you've spotted the enemy? You've been with us all this time. ”
A baron asked.
"Please believe Young Master Leo, that time when the Shadow Demon Knight infiltrated our castle, it was Young Master Leo who found out. ”
Baben said with a look of admiration.
The Shadow Demon Knight is the Grim Reaper in the night, and Leo, who can find the Shadow Demon Knight, is the nemesis of the Grim Reaper, and Leo's image in his mind has already taken a 180-degree turn.
"I hope you didn't lie to me. ”
Many people have heard about this matter, although some people don't believe it, but it's better to be careful.
The knights and knightly squires lined up and prepared for battle.
"Do you come out on your own, or do I invite you to come out? ”
Leo said loudly.
No one responded to his words, and there was still silence in the darkness.
Some of them whispered, and they looked at Leo suspiciously, this little guy wasn't deceiving people.
Leo sneered and pulled out his longbow.
"Give me a rocket. ”
Leo said.
Soon someone handed Leo a lit rocket, who mounted the rocket with a longbow and aimed it deep into the forest.
Boom!
The faint sound of an arrow sounded, and the rocket flew towards the forest like a meteor, and then stuck in a large tree.
The faint glow of the fire illuminated the darkness around them, but it was enough for Leo.
He bent his bow and shot an arrow into the forest with swiftness.
"Ahh
A scream was heard in the woods.
Leo shot arrows as fast as he could, and one arrow after another shot into the forest, and a steady stream of screams was immediately heard from the forest.
"Damn, there's really an ambush!"
The nobles cursed one after another, and for a moment everyone jumped.
Some people also took out bows and crossbows and shot at the dense forest, but they couldn't see the human figure clearly, and how could they hit the target.
"Humph!"
Freya grabbed the arrow that was shooting at her, then broke it in two.
"Don't you see that you still have some skills? and it's a chick. ”
Freya licked her sexy red lips and smiled with interest, as if she had seen a funny toy.
"He is the son of Fairhouse, my prey. ”
Scarface emphasized.
"Got it, after capturing him, I'll hand him over for interrogation. ”
Freya said with a smile.
Scarface snorted coldly, of course he knew what Freya's interrogation meant, what a nasty guy.
"There is no problem, but people cannot die. ”
"Just rest assured. ”
Freya said with a smile.
