Vol.1 Kailin Town 010 Kyle: Duel in the Night
The mountain people retreated one after another, they were stupefied by the scene in front of them, these crimson arrows, although they had heard of them, but they had never seen them with their own eyes.
"Hunters! Hunters!" they looked nervously, and in the darkness there was only the light of torches, and they couldn't see far away. And these dozen or so arrows suddenly came out, which seemed to indicate that there were quite a few people.
"Didn't they die, why did they survive!" the mountain people were particularly nervous, and they seemed to have a lot of shadows in their mouths about the "hunter clan".
Locke was also stunned to look at these never-before-seen arrows with a dark red glow, while Lorna's expression was slightly sad, he seemed to anticipate all this.
"Where?" the mountain people didn't care about the Lorna father and son, and they had more important business to deal with, which was to find the archer.
Suddenly, a red arrow flew from the east gate of Kailin, with a piercing sound that pierced the air, passed through the body of a mountain man, and landed firmly on the ground.
"Inside town, on the rooftops!"
They seem to have spotted the enemy's location and are running towards the town, and the Lorna father and son are no longer their target.
"Listen well, Locke," Lorna jumped off his horse and handed the reins to Locke, "do you know where Aunt Filly's house is on the north side of town?"
"Hmm—" Locke nodded.
"Very well, good boy...", Lorna did not forget to encourage him at this time, "Now, before they catch up, go to Aunt Fili's house at once, okay?"
"Daddy, what about you?" Locke didn't seem to want to go alone, and he grabbed Daddy's hand tightly.
"Daddy is going home, and I'll come to you with Mommy, okay?" said Lorna, whose home was south of town, as he looked in strange directions.
"Dad, let's go back together and take Mom..."
"Obedient!" Lorna suddenly became angry, the father who almost never got angry knew that he had no time to procrastinate, "You're just going to drag me down, understand!"
"Daddy—" Lorna burst into tears, not knowing what to say.
Indeed, carrying a twelve-year-old child can only increase the burden, and Locke also understands that he can't help at all.
"Remember! Go to Aunt Fili's house!" said Lorna, who also understood, and ran north.
"Daddy!" Locke leaned on his horse, looking back at his lonely father, watching him go away.
The horses of the north ran fast, and Locke disappeared into the darkness before he could finish speaking.
Lorna turned his head to look behind him, and the corpses of the residents had been piled up into a hill, and they still didn't survive.
He took the knife and did not go home, but ran to the east. He clearly remembered that it was the direction in which Kyle had rushed out of the siege, and Gosho did not return, indicating that Kyle had not been killed.
Indeed, Kyle is still struggling. He finally broke out of the encirclement, and after a fight, he wanted to gather his apprentice knights, only to find that no one around was riding horses for a long time. He had no choice but to run towards the dense forest to the east, and the wolf howl behind him told him that Gosho had also caught up.
This jungle has also been here, and it is dark inside, like a bloody mouth, waiting for its prey.
Kyle quickly stops and dismounts before entering the forest.
"Good boy, quick, run north, all the way to Valanger!" Kyle ripped off a strip of cloth from his body, wrapping the gold medallion,
Tied to the horse, he said to the horse, "Send this medal to the general of Valange, quick!"
With that, Kyle patted the horse's back, and the young steed sped north. He also hid in the jungle.
"Come out, coward!" Goshua rode the gray wolf to the edge of the jungle. He was reluctant to go in, as if he was afraid of something.
Kyle saw that Gosho was the only one chasing after him, and walked out of the forest.
"The knight of the Ace Empire—" Gosho saw Kyle walk out, muttering to himself as he jumped off the wolf's back.
"The general of the Goe clan," Kyle said, sword in hand, without the slightest timidity, "the war you started will let the world know that the Alpine tribe has lost its credibility. ”
"No, the world won't know..."A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Goxiu's mouth, holding a blood-stained scimitar in his hand, "Kill you, the world will never know, the truth of the matter." ”
The gray wolf walked forward, ready to bite the prey in front of him.
"Get out of here!" Gosho yelled at the gray wolf, "He's my bounty!"
The gray wolf ran away quietly, not daring to disturb the duel.
The people of the mountain tribes worship strength and are competitive, especially in the duel between the leaders of the two armies, absolutely no interference is allowed, and whoever wins is the winner of the war.
"Your head is mine!" Gosher yelled, raising his knife and charging at Kyle.
Kyle knew in his heart that he couldn't fight hard with this big man, and in terms of strength, this sixteen-year-old boy would definitely not be able to compare to him.
Seeing that Gosho was about to rush in front of him, Kyle quickly picked up a small branch on the ground, held it in his hand, and flew his sword towards Gosho.
Geshu rushed towards Kyle with all his might, and suddenly saw a flying sword, and hurriedly blocked his body with the knife, but still slashed his right hand.
Taking advantage of the gap between Ge Xiu's arrows, Kyle quickly rushed up with a tree branch, trying to stab Ge Xiu's eyes, which was the weakest part of the strong man. However, the eyes must be quicker to catch information than to act, and Gosho saw Kyle who was delivered to the door, quickly grabbed him by the mouth of his clothes, and threw him to the side.
The duel seems to be coming to an end. Kyle was slammed to the ground, his sword fell on the other side, and the strong man in the middle would certainly not let him touch it easily, this unarmed apprentice knight seemed to be only a lamb to the slaughter.
"Your head can bring me glory..."Gosho clutched his bleeding right hand and slowly approached Kyle, the scimitar in his hand gradually raised, "Soon, knight..."
Kyle clutched his waist, and the fall had hit his waist so hard that he couldn't even stand up, but crawled slowly. Seeing that Goshu was about to walk in front of him, he was also a little desperate.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Gosho and rushed towards Gosho as he raised his knife to slash at Kyle.
"Ge Xiu!"
It's Lorna!
Ge Xiu originally thought that this was a duel with alpine characteristics, but he didn't expect that a second person rushed out when the result was about to be revealed.
He spun around quickly, couldn't dodge, and was stabbed in the entire face. A scar from the left forehead to the right side of the jaw instantly flowed blood, staining Goshu's face red.
Ge Xiu went crazy in an instant, swinging his knife and slashing indiscriminately. Lorna quickly grabbed Gossi's right arm and threw him to the ground, and with his strength, it was estimated that he would not hold out for long.
"Hurry!" Lorna motioned to Kyle, who was lying on the ground, this should be his last chance.
Kyle jumped up in pain and thrust a twig into Gosho's left eye.
"Ahh
He put down the knife in his hand, broke free from Lorna, and ran west.
With a whistle, the gray wolf appeared, carried him, and fled.
"Why didn't you kill him?" Kyle asked, seeing that Lorna was holding a knife and not chasing after him.
"If he dies, there is really no proof of his death, giving the Gaoshan people enough excuse to raise troops, understand?"
It dawned on Kyle that he was hell-bent on killing this guy and hadn't taken that into account.
"Can you get up?" Lorna helped Kyle and let him try to get up.
"Why did you want to save me?" Kyle staggered to his feet, holding on to the pain.
"I need your help, and you're the only one who can help. Lorna looked at Kyle with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Is that Locke?" Kyle immediately understood what the father in front of him was trying to say, "You want me to take him back to Valanger?"
"Yes. Only you can help him, this child is only twelve years old, he must not die. ”
"I can understand your feelings..."Kyle withdrew the hand he was holding on to Lorna and took a step back, "But, Locke is a wild man, and he can't enter our country. ”
"No, Kyle—" Lorna stepped forward and grabbed the kid's shoulder, "he can't fall into the hands of the mountain people, or it's going to be a disaster!"
Looking into Lorna's eyes, Kyle seemed to notice something unusual, he didn't seem to be alarmist.
"Why?" Kyle wanted to know more, because he also felt that this kid with a gold medal that appeared out of thin air was very special.
However, Lorna seemed reluctant to say more, and he turned his head to look at the small town of Kailin, where a fire had already been burned.
"Let's go," Lorna regained his grip on Kyle's arm, "it must have been predestined for him to find you, and I'll help you, too." You can't run away from it. ”
Listening to Lorna say these strange words, Kyle didn't know how to refute it, perhaps, his heart also acquiesced, this is predestined by God...
"Where are we going?" asked Kyle, who was walking on his own, as he regained his ability to walk on his own.
"North of town," Lorna glanced back at Kyle, "it's impossible to walk back to Ace, in your current state." ”
Kyle looked at himself and braced his waist, maybe this body was about to fall apart as soon as he stepped through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
"There are boats to the north that will allow you to follow the river to Ace's territory. ”
"Where's Locke?"
Lorna looked in the direction north of the town,
"He must be waiting for us now..."
The town is so big that they can't stop and they have to keep going.
On the other hand, Locke obediently listened to his father's words, rode his horse, and came to the small river in the north of the town, and walked along the river to find Aunt Fili's house.
He remembered that Aunt Fili lived by the river and built a small thatched hut with no other buildings next to it, which should be easy to find.
"Found it!"
In the darkness, by the light of the moon and the fire in the town, Locke saw that not far ahead was Aunt Fili's thatched house.
"Aunt Fili, are you there?" Locke dismounted, crept over, and shouted in a low voice.
"Locke, quick!" Aunt Fili beckoned to Locke through a small crack in the door, "Come in, kid!"
Locke turned around and patted the horse, "Let's go, don't be caught up by the bandits!"
The young warhorse immediately understood and quietly left.
Locke watched it walk away, and quickly hid in Aunt Fili's house.
"Where's Uncle Fidie?" asked Locke, seeing that there was no one else in the room.
"He...," Aunt Fili's voice suddenly choked, "When he released the boat in the afternoon to save people, he was dragged into the water by the barbarians and drowned!"
"These bad guys!" Locke couldn't contain the anger in his heart, "I will definitely avenge them!"
"Don't talk about this, come on!" Aunt Fili opened the back door of the thatched house, and a small boat was parked outside the door, "Get up!"
"Why?" Locke stepped forward and looked at the boat outside the door, "Did Daddy ask you?"
"No, it's Leah. ”
"Mom?"
suddenly
The main entrance to the thatched hut was opened, and a man in a hooded black cloak rushed in.
