002: Ambush

The next day, Eve and the others gathered at the door early, making the final preparations before leaving. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe mayor of Abbron came to see him off. "Dear Miss Eveluna, all the supplies you need are here, as well as a few extra items that I myself have added for you. It was an old man who was already a little old, and he looked a little weak, but the scars on his face seemed to tell of his former glory.

The lord of Ebron, Baron Orton Tolck, is the heir to House Torc, and their patriarch, Viscount Orenda Tolck, is one of Eve's vassals. Therefore, despite the lord's absence, the mayor of the town still had to be entertained with a good spirit.

Having said that, Eve was very low-key on this trip, covering his badge all the way, and if it weren't for the guys at the inn who happened to catch a glimpse, I'm afraid that until Eve set off, the mayor of the town would not have known that such a big man had come to his territory.

The mayor was obviously a man of flattery, and he stood nervously in front of the earl, who was far younger than him, and stammered something innocuous without knowing what to do next.

Eve saw his embarrassment at a glance, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Baron Orton's kindness, I will take note of it." She ended the conversation with the words, and just as the soldiers had already carried the last bit of supplies on their backs, Eve rode to the front of the group and gave the order to go.

Soon, Eve arrives at the agreed meeting place. It's still some distance from Woodlin, but it's overgrown with shrubs and off the mainland, so it's an ideal place to hide, and it's an ideal place to ambush.

Arthur stopped Eve, who was about to come forward, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong. The summer jungle is supposed to be filled with the sounds of insects and birds, but it's surprisingly quiet. Obviously, there are quite a few people lurking here.

Arthur told Eve what he had discovered, and Eve nodded slightly, and then took a few steps forward. "Friends, why hide, I'm Count Eveluna of Kyrrydan, and I'm here for an appointment. Eve's voice was neither loud nor small, but it was clear enough in this secluded forest. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a whisper, as if someone was whispering something.

Eve waited patiently, and soon a voice came from behind the bushes, "Are you really the esteemed Eveluna?", which sounded slightly sharp, but still the voice of a man in the prime of life. After receiving an affirmative answer, out of the jungle came a man in a black-green cloak, wearing a hood and hiding his face in the shadows. He was of medium stature and had nothing special about it, except that he hid his hands under his cloak and did not show any of them.

"Why don't you show your face?" asked Eve. "It's a faux pas. Eve rode forward a few more steps, trying to see more clearly.

"Oh, I beg your pardon, dear lady, for your sake, let me remain that way. He seemed to be smiling, and made an aristocratic salute to Eve, which looked like it was full of holes in the eyes of connoisseurs.

He approached Eve alone, and the others seemed to be holding still. Eve felt a little wrong, why were they so defensive of themselves?Eve quietly put her hand on her waist so that she could draw her sword at any moment. Eve noticed some discordant sounds coming from the surrounding bushes, apparently something moving in them.

Arthur quietly unsheathed his sword, and the soldiers behind him also sensed that something was wrong and prepared for battle.

And the mysterious man, seeing all this, just continued to move forward quietly, slowly closing the distance between him and Eve.

Faced with such obvious hostility, Eve didn't say a word, and Andra pulled it out of its scabbard, its dark sword glowing with a strange glow in the light of dawn. The mysterious man was unhurried, lifted his cloak, and two cold rays occupied Eve's eyes, and then, the mysterious man jumped towards Eve at an astonishing speed, and under the cover of the daylight, turned into a black shadow, and pounced on Eve, who had not yet returned to his senses.

Eve hadn't recovered from the previous stimulation, when the enemy was close at hand, and she couldn't see how the man made a move. Luckily, Eve reacted quickly, her legs clamped, her colt under her crotch hissed, and she rushed forward with agility and speed.

This moment narrowed the distance between the two, and Eve leaned down, Andra in her hand slashing upwards. The mysterious man couldn't adjust his posture in the air, so he could only take the blow hard. The force slashed him aside, and Eve passed through him safely.

At the same time, among the surrounding bushes stood countless people like the mysterious man, covering their bodies with cloaks. Armed with crossbows, they fired at Eve and the soldiers.

The soldiers fell quite a bit at once, but at least they were mentally prepared and did not pay much for the protection of their shields and armor. Seeing that the effect of the arrows was not satisfactory, the group voluntarily gave up their advantages, threw down their bows and crossbows, and killed them out of the bushes.

"Miss Protection!" Arthur yelled, then jumped off his horse and took the lead in the fight with the mysterious man. The soldiers behind him also roared and collided with the enemy.

The sudden battle began, and Eve rode Maryse forward, without stopping. Because of his previous actions, he broke away from the large army, and when he turned his head at this time, it was nothing more than running into a pile of enemies alone.

Marise's speed was very fast, and the enemy in front of Eve didn't have time to do anything, so he hurriedly wanted to stop Eve, but in the moment when the people and horses were staggered, they were already separated. After Eve broke out of the siege, she moved around the enemy and began to observe the battle. The group looked prepared, but there weren't many of them, at least not more than hers. Since she was the only one still riding a mount, she was extremely conspicuous at the moment, and the enemies on the periphery surrounded her, trying to take her down. But Eve avoided the crowd and kept a safe distance, and some of the stray arrows crashed into her armor without even a dent.

Arthur, on the other hand, unexpectedly fell into a bitter battle. Arthur stepped forward with his sword and stabbed the mysterious man in the throat. But the mysterious man was unhurried, and leaned down to dodge the blow, and a little chill erupted from under his cloak and went straight to Arthur's chest.

Arthur hurriedly dodged, but the mysterious man's sword turned and knocked down the saber in his hand. Only then did Arthur realize that the mysterious man was holding two identical swords, and covered them with a cloak for a surprise attack.

"You're terrible, kid. The mystery man said in a confident and mocking tone. Arthur was confident in his sword skills, and probably any well-trained soldier was far better than him. "I'm pretty agile, but unfortunately, I can't win with that alone. The mysterious man did not give Arthur a chance to breathe, he attacked the defenseless Arthur again, his speed was amazing, with Arthur's skill, he could only roll on the spot, and he could avoid this fatal blow. The mysterious man quickly adjusted his direction, and with an arrow he lunged at Arthur, who had not yet stabilized his figure, and was about to pierce his back with a sword.

At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly felt a haze in front of him, and in an instant, he lost Arthur's figure, and he subconsciously protected his face. Immediately afterward, he felt a huge force in his stomach. He snorted and retreated for the time being.

Arthur wiped the sweat from his head, and in the moment of crisis, he grabbed a handful of dirt, threw it at the mysterious man's face, and took the opportunity to kick him back, so that he survived.

The mystery man smiled, then lifted his hood. "Well, such a despicable method is not something a knight should do. "The face under the hood turned out to be wearing a strange mask, revealing only the chin, mouth, and eyes. "If I hadn't carried this, my handsome face would have suffered. ”
