Chapter 312: Suddenly
Without Zhou Yu, who is familiar with the plot, Yu Chao and Qi Fei naturally don't know the details of the so-called Mai Gong encounter, and they don't even know where Mai Gong is located.
The next morning, when Helena returned from the Provisional Council, she gave the order to pack up, for the nobles were eager to drive her out of the capital and away from the political and military center.
The atmosphere of the guards is very solemn, neither of them is stupid, everyone can see that Helena has been unjustly suppressed, she is obviously a hero of the kingdom who turned the tide, and she should enjoy the supreme glory, but in the eyes of the king and nobles, she is a sinner who endangers her own interests and status, and she can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible. It's just that Helena's personal reputation is extremely high, and even the king doesn't dare to deal with it openly, so as not to get into trouble and ask for trouble.
However, the nobles who have a talent for power struggle have always been good at fooling the ignorant low-level people, and the next step will be to cooperate with the rest of the kingdom's army to attack everywhere to regain the lost territory, which makes the unaware low-level people suddenly rejoice, and praise Helena's sincerity for the country and the people.
"Those stupid aristocrats, if you don't die, you won't die!"
When he finished packing and gathering, Qi Fei seemed to have a feeling and said.
"Since ancient times, rulers have not tolerated anyone who has made great achievements, not to mention that she has also committed the taboo of arrogating her authority! Now after conquering the royal capital, the nobles, including the king, probably think that the general situation has been decided, and it is reasonable to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Yu Chao said calmly.
"Hey, Brother Yu, it's rare to see you make such insightful remarks. Qi Fei glanced at Yu Chao unexpectedly.
"Let's just tell the truth. Yu Chao's expression remained unchanged.
"I'm worried about what kind of moths will happen on the way to Maigon!" Qi Fei frowned slightly. "It's a pity that I didn't ask the captain for the details of the encounter with Mai Gong before. β
"It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth. Yu Chao said calmly.
"I said Brother Yu, don't you even feel a little nervous?" Qi Fei said in surprise. "The captain once said that the battle of McGon is as dangerous as an ambush on all sides, and I am afraid that we will not be able to run away when the time comes. β
"If she's there, don't worry. β
As he spoke, Yu Chao silently looked at Hou Wenjun who walked out with Helena not far away.
β...... Brother Yu, I admit that the ugly woman is indeed very strong, but the Anglo people also sent evenly matched masters?" Qi Fei is not as optimistic as Yu Chao, thinking about the worst outcome in everything.
"I believe in her. Yu Chao said silently.
β......β
Qi Fei rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to him again.
"Assemble and get ready to go!"
In a moment, the group escorted Helena out of the temporary residence, the most emotional and passionate thing is that when they passed through the first central avenue, countless people spontaneously came to see Helena leave, and without paying attention, there was a bold girl who rushed up and kissed Qi Fei's face, which made him feel proud, but this good mood only lasted for a long time and disappeared.
Outside the royal capital, about 500 soldiers had been waiting for a long time to escort the wagons and supplies, and after Helena and the leading sergeant major had completed the handover, everyone embarked on the road to Maigon.
"No wonder Helena was taken prisoner in the battle of Maigon, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these soldiers who were carrying supplies were old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was estimated that the Anglos would be able to crush them with a contingent of heavy horsemen. β
On the way, Qi Fei, who was secretly observing the team, finally couldn't help but speak, he and Yu Chao would habitually use the earth's language when they communicated, because it didn't matter if the wall had ears, they couldn't understand it anyway.
"You must know that people can always exert incredible combat effectiveness in desperate situations. When Yu Chao was speaking, his eyes looked at Hou Wenjun, who was inseparable from Helena at the front.
"Brother, don't be so idealistic, okay?" Qi Fei sighed and said helplessly. "Even if the morale of our side is MAX, but strong is strong, weak is weak, even if these soldiers exert 120% of their combat effectiveness?
"I'm curious, since you're so scared, why did you choose to stay in the first place?" Yu Chao shook his head.
"No way, who made the rewards of special tasks too tempting, I really wouldn't be willing if I didn't try it!" Qi Fei said solemnly.
"But didn't you think you'd die?" Yu Chao said.
"I've always had good luck, so I'm sure I'm not going to die. Qi Fei suddenly changed his face and laughed.
Yu Chao didn't say anything more, but the whole person seemed to be a little thoughtful.
The road ahead was not easy, this was the consensus of everyone, and no one could guarantee that they would encounter the Anglo on the way, but it turned out that they were too worried, because until they reached Maigon, the road was incredibly smooth, even if they were not disturbed by wild beasts.
"Oh, I was really scared to death on the way, and now I am finally relieved when I see the city wall. β
The Wheat Gong Walled City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the Anglo people have never been able to capture here, looking up at the towering and thick Mai Gong City Wall, Qi Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of security in his heart.
"Something strange!"
Yu Chao held the long sword at his waist with a solemn expression, and his eyes kept observing the surroundings.
"Strange!
After entering Maigong, Qi Fei relaxed a lot.
"Don't you think it's too quiet in the city?"
Yu Chao turned his head and frowned at the group of cold soldiers on the edge of the wall.
"Aren't all military towns like that? what's so strange? Qi Fei shrugged and said. "Besides, in the face of the long-term attack of the Anglos, the ordinary people in the city are afraid that they have already fled, and only this person in the huge city will definitely make people feel quiet, is it possible that you are still worried that the Anglos have already occupied this place, and arranged an ambush to catch turtles in an urn?"
As soon as the words fell, a scream streaked across the sky, and in an instant, it burst into a roaring sound.
Before they could react, countless arrows fell from all directions, and the surrounding streets and alleys were filled with the sound of gold and iron shouting and killing.
"......"
The moment he instinctively felt the danger, Yu Chao reached out and grabbed Qi Fei's back collar, and a tumbling Qi Qi hid under the carriage.
Immediately, like a storm of arrows, arrows fell, heart-rending painful wails continued to echo in the ears, and the soldiers who were escorting supplies fell in a pool of blood one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the still neat team became scattered.
"Damn! This is called an encounter?! The main god is a cheating father! This is clearly an ambush battle!"
Qi Fei, who came back to his senses, scolded loudly as soon as his brain was hot, but he quickly regained his composure and did not forget to thank Yu Chao for saving him.
"Hurry up and find a place to hide. β
After the rain of arrows stopped, Yu Chao immediately rushed out of the carriage before the ambush soldiers came up.
"Where are you going?"
Qi Fei subconsciously wanted to grab the other party, but he had no choice but to drag it empty.
"Front of the line. β
As a result, Yu Chao's voice was left in his ears.
Isn't Helena at the front of the line? Helena is going to save Helena?
Thinking like electricity, after thinking about it a little, Qi Fei guessed that it was out of Chao's intention to leave, but what was the use of him alone? Yu Chao, who got out of the bottom of the car, quickly climbed up the surrounding houses, and looked at the past, a dense group of Anglo soldiers continued to pour into the streets, frantically killing the remaining soldiers, this situation, he finally understood, Nima, this is the unequaled mowing and it is difficult to fly!
Phew-
At this time, Qi Fei turned his head and happened to dodge an arrow that shot at his head.
"It's still hairy!"
Turning his head, he saw a group of archers aiming at him, and he was so frightened that he immediately jumped from the roof to the other side's shooting corner.
"Chase!"
During the rush of his heartbeat, Qi Fei would encounter Anglo soldiers in front of him from time to time, several times in a row, which made him deeply aware that it was difficult for him to escape from the other party's search unless......
He intended to use the power of that ring.
But until the last minute, he categorically will not use it lightly.
The question is, where can he flee now?
That's right! Helena, Evelyn, Yu Chao!
It seems that I will have to take refuge with their power as well, if I have the opportunity to escape again!
Or! Try to rescue Helena!
Meanwhile.
After slaying the defender of Mai Gong who betrayed the kingdom with a single sword, in the face of the swarming attack of the Anglos, Hou Wenjun and the only remaining personal guards around him escorted Helena to continue to rush out of a bloody path, but the enemy killed more and more like locusts, and the encirclement shrank smaller and smaller.
"Danger!"
Vaguely, Hou Wenjun, who killed the red eye, seemed to hear a familiar warning sound, but before she could react, a black shadow appeared in front of her, and then her body flew out uncontrollably as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"Roarβ"
An extremely strong giant man with a bare upper body and an iron mace in his hand roared into the sky, instantly re-energizing the morale of the surrounding Anglos!
"Tower Knight!
After a personal guard saw the giant man, his whole person stiffened in place.
In the next second, the mace swept towards the guards, directly exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
"Don't think!"
Seeing the giant man stretch out his hand to grab the helpless Helena, an angry scream came from not far away, only to see Hou Wenjun rush out of the ruins masonry into a streamer, accidentally dropped the weapon, she clenched her fist and hit the giant man's stomach hard.
The giant man didn't fly as she had expected, he only took a few steps backwards before roaring and swinging his mace again.
"Control him! I'll help you!"
Hou Wenjun knew that she couldn't fight head-on, so she relied on her agile skills to dodge over, and she was about to launch a counterattack again, when that familiar voice sounded in her ears.
She didn't hesitate at all, and kicked the giant man's knee with the strength of her tense body, and when the giant man knelt on the ground in pain, Hou Wenjun turned her hands into a knife and directly slashed at the collarbone in the opponent's chest!
Click-
At the same time as the sound of bone cracking sounded, the figure of Yu Chao appeared behind the giant man, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand stabbed into the back of the giant man's head!
