Chapter 212: The Insidious Half-Elf
'Da, da......'
Although Bluewater City is not curfew, and there is no silence like the usual dark night, the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground and stone steps is not difficult to detect.
The horse beast under Loki's seat was already strong, and with the weight he was carrying, it was difficult to hide the sound of the march.
There were at least five knights chasing after him, and none of them were inferior to half-elves in horsemanship.
Turning a street corner, he controlled the reins to slow down slightly, reducing the sound of the horse's hooves, while also observing the pursuers in the rear.
Under the image of the faint night vision, the appearance of several knights who were marching with torches not far away were relatively clear, except for the two young nobles, who were actually the retinue of the baron's son.
Several of the pursuers all have noble status, but their status is different or different. The knight at the head is even more well-armed, and he also carries the 'Griffin Knight Sword' that was auctioned at auction.
For these noble knights who had nothing to do, the half-elf didn't have time to be resentful, and in the dark of a street corner, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and found a thick piece of grass and linen from the package.
The tactical claw knife was cut into four pieces, and the horse's hooves were hurriedly wrapped with strings, and the spades seemed to feel the urgency of the master, and made a few snorts, and it was more cooperative to raise the hooves.
But the following knights, who were not inexperienced fools, immediately knew where the half-elves had stopped and hid after discovering that the sound of horses' hooves had disappeared.
Torches were thrown, a few sparks splashed on the ground, and the dark street corner was empty, so look elsewhere.
A 'buzz' sound of air piercing interrupted a knight who was about to throw a torch, and a spear turned into a black shadow and shot out of the darkness towards him.
Hurriedly erecting the triangular arm shield, the knight realized that the target of the spear was not him, but the mount under him.
The knights at least wore half-body armor, which could easily resist the attacks of long-range and melee ordinary weapons, just to get rid of the pursuit, and there was no need to force such a sophisticated armor defense.
'Ho~ho' There was a miserable scream, and the huge body of the horse beast was naturally difficult to dodge the well-prepared sneak attack, and a deep hole was pierced in the chest.
The horse beast fell to the ground in pain, and the knight on his back was also thrown out, although he was not seriously injured by broken bones and tendons, but he also fell to the ground.
The half-elf turned over and got on the horse, and he didn't need to look back carefully, half a spear penetrated the horse beast, and the weapon definitely couldn't be recovered, so he should reduce the load.
"Spender Knight, the half-elves are there, damn sneak attackers. ”
The torch was tossed, but all I could see was a black and white horse, with its tail as it left.
"Catch up, Master Bentham has ordered, along with the two escaped slaves, to be found, and they must be alive......"
The red scarf on the face of the half-elf fluttered slightly in the wind, revealing a pair of dark gray eyes,
It's just that he hates it in his heart, Spen Knight?
However, Loki has a great advantage, not only does he have the ability to see in a shimmering light, but he has also formed a more accurate coordinate map of the streets of this bluewater city, which can be said to be very familiar with the terrain.
The knights in the rear were extremely fast, but in the dark and complex urban terrain, there was no clear sound of horses' hooves, and they quickly lost their goals in front.
Several knights with noble status, their faces were a little unbearable, and they were run away by the half-elves, not only were the dignity of the nobles offended, but they also might face the anger of Young Master Bentham.
The knight of Spend, low-key but calm, ordered one of the knights to gather some more men, while they split up and searched in different directions.
The city gate bridge was put away at night, and of course he couldn't just ride the horse beast and jump over the moat from there to leave, but it wasn't difficult to leave Bluewater City, find some gaps in the remnant walls, or simply sail away from the waterway.
The dark river roared and the light of the moon and stars in the night sky reflected on the water.
A small sailboat floated on the river, and there were a few restless cries of donkeys, followed by a sudden loud shout.
"Luo ...... Base...... Is that you, I saw your beast!"
The half-elf frowned, he was near the river, looking for a boat that could leave the city with the horses and beasts, but he didn't expect to meet the troublesome halfling again.
"Dude...... Why don't you take my boat and leave this damn Bluewater City with us?"
On the quiet river, Bilbom's shout was heard far away, and even the knights who were looking for the traces of the half-elves were aware of it, and the Spen knight at the head took the lead in chasing after the horse beast.
"Hanny, hurry up and paddle to the shore, it looks like my friend is in trouble, I must help him......"
Bilbom controlled the small sails, while the pretty cat-orc-like beauty, Hanny, did the hard work of rowing, listening to the halfling's command, and swaying the oars with great effort.
The three knights who chased after him quickly found their target, "Tied up, lowly half-elf, you will have a life." ”
"Haha, follow this mouse and find his companion, none of you can escape. ”
The half-elf rode on horseback, the masseter muscles of his cheeks twitching slightly, but he didn't flee directly into the dark streets.
Instead, he gently soothed a burst of spades with his hands, then drew the steel crossbow behind his back and quickly wound it on horseback.
The moment Loki raised his weapon, he snapped his brace and fired a deadly bolt.
The crossbow trajectory 3.0 version, simple calculation of distance, wind speed, air humidity and other factors, the crossbow becomes extremely accurate, whether it is shooting stationary or dynamic targets, he has a lot of confidence.
'Whoosh!' arrows shot in the darkness, making it hard to dodge.
"Ah~" With a scream, a knight who had just entered the professional level was shot through the neck because of carelessness.
The horse beast was still running, but the knight, who had been mortally wounded, had already clutched his neck and fell to the ground.
This kind of stationary shooting on horseback, although not as stable and accurate as standing on the ground with two legs, has a wider field of vision, and as long as the spades do not move, it can maintain accurate kills.
'Bang!' There was a clear metal crash, and another knight's breastplate was sunk into a shallow pit, showing the power of the steel crossbow.
The knight shouted viciously, "Bastard, damned half-elf thief, with a crossbow, what a sinister fellow. ”
But this kind of sneak attack with crossbow arrows can only be said to be that, and the remaining three knights have never been fatally injured by crossbow arrows.
On the one hand, because the knights and nobles have armor defense in the vital parts of the upper body, and at the same time, the 'battle intuition' ability cultivated by the noble knights also allows them to be aware of the crossbow arrows and take defensive dodges in advance.
Since it was useless for these knights, they changed the target of their shooting, and in a moment, several mounted horses and beasts were seriously injured by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.
The nobleman stumbled and stood up in pain, but he felt a dark shadow in front of him.
Loki seized this opportunity and shot several more crossbow arrows, killing this noble knight with level 5 apprentice strength, and piercing the thigh of a professional knight, which also achieved the effect of seriously injuring him.
Only the Spender knight, wielding the griffin knight's sword, easily blocked the crossbow bolts that shot at him.
Name: Spender, Strength ≥ 1.8, Agility ≥ 1.2, Constitution ≥ 1.9
In the spatial vision, the name of the previous code knight has been changed, but the physical attributes have not changed much, and there is at least level 8~9 professional strength.
This kind of attribute that does not stimulate the power of the bloodline, and is not even inferior to the knight guard captain of the ordinary church, has a skilled martial arts body, and must be very difficult.
