Bella rode a golden steed and hurried south, on the one hand to chase the suspected fellow of Yoro, and on the other hand to escape from Kersmerd.
Fortunately, there was a clear line of horseshoe prints left on the snow, so that he could keep the direction of the chase and not get lost. This snow, which has been falling for a long time, stopped in the middle of the night, and if there are no special circumstances, ordinary people will not walk on this snow in the middle of the night, so the horseshoe prints left on the snow are most likely left by that guy. And Bella didn't think much about it, so she followed this line of horseshoe prints and chased south.
The sky was cloudy, the moonlight and stars were able to shine onto the earth, and the snow and ice reflected the light, enveloping the snowfields in a bright light. After more than an hour of unhindered horseback galloping, Bella was approaching the edge of the Virginia snowfield, but he still couldn't catch up with the guy.
As he was running forward desperately, suddenly, a group of men rushed out of the woods beside the road ahead and blocked his way, the first two were knights wearing huge helmets and red sleeveless plate armor and riding military horses. Both knights, each holding a knightly fan shield in his left hand and a different weapon in his right hand - one with a mace and the other with a heavy cavalry spear.
The two knights were followed by three men, who also rode military horses, but their armor was noticeably lower than that of the two knights, and the weapons they held were riding spears, fighting hoes, and warrior daggers.
"Hey, sir, we are a special team from your friendly neighbour, the kingdom of Swadia, and we are here to await your arrival and receive your support, whether it be the dinar, bread, or ale, if it is your generosity to give us, we will gladly accept it, and be sincerely grateful to you!" said the knight with the heavy lance in his hand, in a loud and powerful voice.
"Haha, what kind of special team from a friendly neighboring country, what a really nice thing to say! I know that your Swadia army suffered a defeat at Rudaburg a few days ago, and the fact that you people can come here means that you are either deserters or defeated troops, and now that you have left the large army, you have no money or food, so you will be so destitute to stop the road and beg in the middle of the night!" Bella said without scruples.
In fact, this group of Swadia soldiers had escaped from the battle of the defense of Fort Rudaa a few days earlier, and consisted of two Swadia knights and three Swadia heavy cavalry. When the Swadian army was defeated, they fled the battlefield in a panic, misdirected, and fled into the woods north of Rudaburg, and then continued north, until they entered the Vigia snowfield, where they realized that something was wrong. By this time, they had eaten all the food they had brought with them. While they were wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, enduring hunger and cold, they met Bella, who was hurrying to this side, and stopped him at once.
The truth that Bella said made these people speechless for a while, and then, Bella smiled and said: "Okay, I'll give you some money, you can use the money to buy some food in the nearby villages, and then rush back to your border immediately!"
As she spoke, Bella took out a small bag from her body, opened it, and reached inside, intending to take out some dinars from it and distribute them to the fleeing soldiers from Swadia.
However, before he could take out the money, the Swadian knight with the mace jerked his head, and then two Swadian heavy cavalry suddenly rode up and rushed towards Bella, whistling past Bella's side, and almost at the same time stretched out a hand to Bella. One of the Swadian heavy cavalry snatched the bag containing the dinar from Bella's hand, while the other Swadian heavy cavalry ripped the hood off Bella's head when he let out a scream.
After the hood was ripped off, Bella's long blond hair immediately fell like a waterfall, revealing it. Bella hurriedly tried to put the hood back on, but then stopped because it was pointless.
"Haha, so you're a lady, and you're so pretty!" said the Swadian knight with the heavy lance in his hand, in a tone full of surprise.
"Give me back the money! You are a robbery, the same robbery as the pirates! I wanted to help you, but you treated me like this! You are really disgraceful to your country, aren't you afraid that if such an ugly thing spreads, you will lose your honor and be punished?" said Bella, annoyed.
"No," said the Svadian knight with the mace, "as long as we don't tell anyone about it, no one will know about it." β
"Hmph, are you going to die for me, don't think I don't dare to tell me about it!" Bella, after saying this, suddenly realized something, and glared at the two Swadian knights in horror and anger, her voice trembling, "You...... You guys...... Do you want to ......?"
The Svadia knight with the mace in his hand said coldly, "We believe in your courage, but we have no confidence in your luck. Yes, now in our eyes, you are no different from a dead man. β
Bella looked at the two Swadia knights and one Swadia heavy cavalry in front of him, and then looked back at the two Swadia heavy cavalry guarding behind him at this time, and couldn't help but fall into despair. She said angrily and angrily: "You have robbed me of my money and killed me, it is really too much! My future husband and Brother Enqi will not let you go! If you kill me, they will definitely avenge me!"
"Haha, what is your future husband, and who is Enqi? Huh? This name is a little familiar!" said the Svadian knight with the heavy lance in his hand.
"My future husband is a Nord royal bodyguard, and Enqi's eldest brother is a true knight, although he has not been knighted!" Bella said in a proud tone.
"The Nord royal guard, yes? I ended the life of a Nord royal guard with a spear sprint a few days ago, oh God, that feeling, it was so painful! His scream still makes me remember it endlessly!"
"Of course not!" Bella quickly shook her head in denial, "My future husband has come to me, and although he doesn't want to admit his identity for the time being, I'm sure it's him." He's not far from me right now, and he'll be coming for me soon!"
"Oh, beautiful lady, I understand your desire for your future husband. But it will take time for your future husband to arrive, so let's satisfy you first, it just so happens that we haven't touched a woman in a few days, and we will definitely treat you with all our might!" After saying that, the Svadian knight with the mace in his hand let out a lewd laugh, and the other Swadian knight and the three Swadian heavy cavalry also immediately let out a presumptuous and evil laugh after hearing his words.
Bella was obviously young and naΓ―ve, and had little knowledge of men and women, and did not understand the evil things these people were talking about, but glared at the two knights with puzzled and angry eyes. Although she didn't understand the true meaning of their words and laughter, she still felt creepy and uncomfortable because of their laughter.
The hooligans were laughing and laughing as they rode towards Bella, who was surrounded by them and had no way to escape, panicking. And at that moment, a sharp and brisk sound of horses' hooves sounded behind Bella.
"No, you ought to say: Let me kill you before her future husband arrives, I haven't killed you in a long time, and I'll take care of your dogs!" shouted a white steed leaping out of the woods behind Bella, and on the horse was a black figure with a spear in his hand. The figure, wrapped in a black robe with a hood, was the mysterious man who had walked into Kersmer's room to check.
"Brother Enqi, is it you, why are you here?" Bella, as soon as she heard this person's shout, she already knew who it was, and she couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Miss Jamila, I've been following you since you ran away from home, and since you can be here, then of course I'll be here too!" After speaking, the man named Enqi stretched out his hand and lifted the hood from his head, revealing a handsome face. Sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and eyes glowing with sharp light appeared on this face, creating his heroic countenance.
"Ahh......h Then I'll ...... him," said Bella, Ms. Jamila, incredulously. Thinking that she and Kersmoad were talking in the same room, and that it was very likely that Enqi would know, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and she couldn't talk anymore.
Enqi saw her look cowardly and spoke hesitantly, seemed to understand what she meant, let out a chuckle, shook his head, and then said: "Miss, I am only responsible for following you and secretly protecting your safety, I don't pay much attention to other things, Miss, you don't have to think too much." β
Enqi and Jamila's conversation as if no one was around immediately angered the hooligans around them.
"You're all dying, how can you say something inconsequential so calmly, are you stupid?" said the Swadia knight with the mace.
Another Swadia knight also said coldly: "Boy, you rushed over to die, didn't you?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean," Enqi said coldly, frowning, "Do you think you can kill us?"
"Hmph, boy, isn't that obvious, you're already dead!" said one of the Svadian heavy cavalrymen.
"How is that possible! You are all destined to die at my hands first, and unless the ghosts can kill people, how can you kill me?" said Enqi proudly.
"What a big breath, boy, who are you?" asked the Svadian knight with the heavy lance in his hand.
"My name is Enqi, En's grace, in fact, remember this name, before you die, hurry up and say it a few times, let my name become your last memory!" Enqi said lightly.
"Damn, you boy, I would have spared your life for the sake of you, too, a Swadia, but you are so arrogant and damned! You are too blind to see who we are, are you? How impatient you are to dare to talk to us like this!" said the Swadian knight with the heavy rifle in his hand.
Enqi let out a sneer and said, "Oh, of course I'm not blind, but I really can't tell that you are human! I only saw a few stray dogs that blocked the road and robbed passers-by, and also had a bad idea of a lady!"
"Boy, you can see clearly, we are regular troops from Svadia, the three of them are Svadian heavy cavalry, and the two of us are Swadian knights! Don't underestimate us, or you will regret it! Our Svadian knights gallop across the plains, crisscrossing the north and south, invincible, invincible! Just the title of our Swadia knights is enough to make you people tremble and prostrate on the ground, boy, we can break you to pieces at any time. Said the Svadia knight with the mace.
Enqi shook his head and said disapprovingly, "If the Svadias can still recognize you as a regular army after your ugly colors are revealed, then Svadia will completely disappoint me. As for the title of Knight of Svadia, hold on to it and go to the Grim Reaper! The title of Knight of Svadia is worthless in front of me. A few years ago, I defeated a damn self-righteous Svadian knight, and today, it looks like two more poor creatures calling themselves Svadian knights are about to fall at my feet!"
"Oh, so you are the Enqi, I remember, I heard that you won the duel in a duel by despicable and shameless means, I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you today, I immediately believed it!" said the Swadian knight with the heavy lance in his hand.
"In that duel, I won with dignity and a clear conscience! And if I want to kill you today, I only need to rely on my true strength! So now, let's stop talking nonsense, you go up one by one? Or do you go together? Let me come over and let me see if you have the ability to lift my shoes!" Enqi said to these enemies without fear.
In the face of Enqi's provocation, the Swadia knight with the mace in his hand could no longer bear it, but he was not carried away by anger and still kept his senses. He knew that this Enqi was actually a very powerful person, and if he relied on his own strength, it was very likely that he would not be Enqi's opponent, so he beckoned to several companions: "Let's kill this arrogant boy first!"
And at the same time as he shouted, Enqi pulled the bridle of the golden steed that Jamila was riding with one hand at great speed, turned the horse's head, and without waiting for Jamila to say anything, he immediately slapped the golden steed on the buttocks, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Miss, run! Don't worry about me, I'll come to you later!"
The golden steed was in pain, and at once he sprang into a wild gallop, and Jamila let out a scream.
