"These guys are not from the Black Thorns, they are the royal guard knights, who are responsible for escorting His Highness to the north. ”

As the captain of a ship transporting valuable cargo, Cameron certainly couldn't have mistaken the passengers on his ship. In fact, with just a glance, he had already determined the identities of several knights killed by Hiko. Hearing his explanation, Yan immediately raised his eyebrows and asked a little puzzled.

"Royal Knight, well, let's not talk about how such a weak level became a royal knight of the Empire. Judging by what they did just now, they should have already rebelled. But since that's already the case, what about the people of the Black Thorn family? Don't tell me, the Black Thorn family only came with two or three kittens and dogs, and let these guys rebel. In that case, their loyalty would be too worthless. ”

"Of course, of course. The Black Thorns family is a heavyweight. Having already experienced Hiko's violence and strength, Cameren's betrayal naturally became more complete. "Here is the fourth heir of the Black Thorn family, Field Brambaus, who has the title of Earl of Real Power. He took six of his men, all of whom were good in his territory. Two knights of personal guards, one who looks like a thief. There is also an archer and a mage. That's all his men, and they're supposed to be hiding in this cabin right now. ”

Cameren's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for those hiding in the shadows to hear clearly. And after hearing his words clearly, the Earl of Field immediately cursed through gritted teeth.

"How dare he, this damn shit, how dare he betray me like this!"

"It's just for your life, my lord. The connection between us and him is limited to one transaction, and the chips represented by such an exchange are not enough for a person to give up his life for you. Even if you're a Black Thorn, so, there's nothing surprising. Even if you have time to be surprised and angry here, then you might as well think about how to deal with the strong enemy outside. ”

Strong enemy, this is the judgment that these people of the Black Thorn Family have made for the Yan outside. After seeing that he easily killed several royal knights with a one-sided advantage, they had already raised Hiko's threat level to a very dangerous level. Because they think that even if they are better than those royal knights, they are not very powerful.

Serve a nobleman in the form of a servant, even a large aristocratic family like the Duke of the Two Blades. This is something that those with high abilities disdain to do, and only those who are still struggling to make a living, and who cannot attain higher level power, will choose this way of life. And in the eyes of such a person, Hiko is naturally a formidable and formidable enemy.

If possible, they would never want to face such an opponent head-on. So from the time those royal knights were killed until now, they just kept in hiding and didn't choose to jump in front of Hiko openly. It can be said that the thing they expect most at this time is that Hiko can forget their existence. But alas, with Cameron betrayed, they can only be exposed in front of Hiko.

Rather than being approached by him, it is better to hit him by surprise. Thinking of this, several guards were already quietly clenching their weapons and preparing for battle.

Seeing that his men had unsheathed their swords and arrows ready to fly, Earl Field couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword at his waist, in his opinion, he was afraid that it was necessary for him to participate in this battle. For there was no reason for him to take that risk, to let this terrible enemy break his men one by one, and then stand unstoppably before him.

They beat him like wolves, biting off the flesh from him and drinking the blood. Although this would be contrary to the way of knighthood, he is not a knight, as long as he can win, why not. But before he could put his thoughts into action, the mage had already stopped him, and then quietly gestured to his feet.

At their feet, a circle of glowing dim light had quietly taken shape. And seeing the appearance of this magic circle, Field immediately restrained his previous thoughts.

For his own mage subordinates, he knows the roots. This subordinate, who has practiced arcane spells and transfiguration psychics, has been a slave to the Black Thorn family for generations, and they are nominally master servants who have grown up together. In terms of intimacy, they were closer than Field's half-brothers. So in many things, he will listen to the advice of this partner.

And now that's it, seeing that he quietly arranged this magic circle under his feet, it is naturally impossible for Field to have the idea of going up to fight life and death like before. After all, it's the power of magic. It would be too inappropriate for a spellcaster to rush up and fight to the death after he had set up a circle. Although I don't know what the purpose of this circle is, I am sure that this will ensure my safety. And as long as he can ensure his own safety, it will naturally not be his turn to do desperate things.

This was a typical aristocratic idea, and no one present was qualified to question his move. They are guards, they are slaves. It's normal to work for your master. So there was no need to hesitate at all, and there was no need to continue to hesitate, they had already broken through the gate and launched a charge towards the strong enemy outside the door.

Two knights in full armor, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, marched forward in the direction of Hiko. Their tall bodies filled almost the entire corridor, and it was impossible for even the lightest Assassin to get around them. And the only one who can attack through this gap is the veteran archer.

The stiff longbow was filled little by little with a creaking sound, and then with a whoosh, three consecutive arrows flew out in front of and back.

Relying on his keen eyes, Hiko can clearly see the difference between these three sharp arrows. The thick arrow body with the spindle-shaped arrow is incongruous. But this is no reason to deny its lethality. It is true that such an arrow cannot be as ferocious as a barbed arrow when facing the enemy, nor can it be as lethal as a triangular arrow. However, such an arrow can definitely break through most barriers and burrow deep into the target's body.

The spindle-shaped arrow doesn't make a big deal even if it hits the target. If you're lucky, you'll pull it out, and at most you'll bleed. The most bad luck is an internal trauma, and it would be good to paste some medicine. It doesn't seem like a big deal, and it's really not a big deal. But there is a premise for this, that is, as long as there is no poison on the arrow.

However, with such arrows, how many will not quench poison them?

Archers aren't a fair profession, and even the elven rangers don't mind adding a little weirdness to their arrows. Not to mention the fact that there are people in the human race who specialize in this kind of shady business. So quenching poison is for sure, and this point has been answered in the affirmative by the abnormal oil green color of the arrow.

Although the Nords are highly resistant, they are not invincible. So Yan didn't want to be shot by such a poisonous arrow. He had to parry, but the two approaching knights in front of him didn't intend to give him a chance to parry.

The two sides of the iris shield that were enough to cover a person's torso came in one after the other, enough to squeeze the space that Hiko could move to the extreme. Coupled with the intentional control of the two knights, it can be said that he doesn't even have the space to swing the sword in his hand now.

The strength of the steel swordsmanship, they had already seen it clearly enough just now. So no matter what, they didn't want to give this powerful enemy any more chance to use that kind of means on their own. And for Hiko, their actions like this can indeed make a difference.

After all, the steel slashing sword technique still needs a certain amount of space to be unleashed. He is not Mu, maybe as the father of the Sword Saint, he can do the level of the power of slashing steel with a wave of his hand, but he can't. Taking advantage of the momentum to accumulate power and stimulate kinetic energy with kinetic energy, this is the way he uses his steel swordsmanship. And once the space is limited, it is difficult to say whether the steel slashing sword technique can still be effective.

The shrill sound of slashing steel sounds majestic, but in fact, it is just a performance that has not been thoroughly practiced at home and practiced to the bone marrow. Hiko has seen his father perform this trick, silently, without anything, that is the ultimate performance of cutting steel. It is also the most impeccable swordsmanship.

He hasn't reached this level yet, which also means that his swordsmanship is still flawed. And now, his enemies have caught this flaw and used it to form a siege against him.

Arrows in front, swords and shields behind. Being squeezed step by step, no matter which one he could, it would not be too easy. Take care of one and forget the other, forget the front and forget the back. Ordinary people will inevitably have to be stabbed when dealing with it. They don't have that many means to deal with that. But Hiko is different, just in the blink of an eye, he has already thought of a way to deal with it.

The long sword was held upside down, and its forearm was close to the cold sword body as if it was wearing a layer of arm armor, and it slammed into the two irises shields. Although this kind of force was not as fierce as the two big men charging with shields, it finally slowed down their momentum. And with such a slowdown, Hiko had already freed his hand and began to deal with the attacking dark arrow.
