Chapter Twenty-Seven: Switching Sides and Fighting Again
“......”
Moder couldn't help frowning: "Honorable Lord Rez, the enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, the guardian of the ruins is against us, and he may not risk his life to fight with the four black knights, the development of things may not be as perfect as you imagined, and more importantly, this probability is too small."

Lu Bin and his entourage set out from the Mage Tower, and the decisions they made along the way were all correct inertia, and they did not let Moder blindly obey, but Fei Xi chose to remain silent for the first time after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
"It doesn't seem to be very difficult, I'm a little overconfident!"
Moder noticed that Lord Reez's face had become less comfortable, and secretly apologized, but insisted on his opinion.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Bin kept an eye on the movements around him, and without the illusion spell of the glade, the Dryad Guardian wanted to continue to embellish, but had to show his true face in the sparsely wooded jungle.
Hidden by the emerald green hair, the two sparkling claws are only an inconspicuous part, and the cascading waterfall of hair mixed with leaves is waist-long, interspersed with blood roses, perfumed lilies, and the petals of many unknown plants, containing an obscure natural source.
Dense vines without spikes wrap around the body, and most of the skin is exposed to the air in the cold late autumn evening, except for a few important areas. The Guardian of the Ruins is not much different from the appearance of the legendary elves, the only special thing is that her figure is not as slender and thin as ordinary elves, but contains wild power, well-proportioned muscles filled with explosive strength.
Aside from the bronze armguard on her right hand, she no longer saw any metal objects in her personal equipment, but the humble armguard was clearly no ordinary decoration.
When Lu Bin saw the ruins guardian randomly climbing a branch on the tree where the dead leaves had fallen, the bronze arm guard would burst out with a faint green halo, and after it was stained by her hand, a magical scene happened.
The ordinary branches, like a film of light coated with jade, turned into a javelin three cubits long in the blink of an eye, and the tip of the spear even shone with a brilliant light like the morning sun.
"It's too much! Such a terrible weapon, the real face is a branch at hand?"
Lu Bin's face became a little ugly, and he had to admit that this descendant of a demigod had the strength to protect the ruins of the huge elven kingdom.
The three humans who had to retreat step by step had been forced into the outer sparse forest by themselves to close to waist-deep water to resume the reindeer river.
Instead of using words to continue the provocation, she used the woodwalk, which could stealthily and stealthily walk through the jungle, and disappeared from their field of vision under the watchful eyes of the vigilant human spellcasters, with the help of the twilight of the setting sun.
At the same time, Lu Bin saw that the body of the ruin guardian was strangely fading and disappearing between the two big trees, and he immediately opened his mouth to remind Moder and Fei Xi to pay attention to the surrounding "anomalies".
Unexpectedly, the two mage apprentices were equally shocked to find out, and couldn't help but speed up their pace, trying to get rid of the ubiquitous threat.
Lu Bin didn't come up with any proper solution for a while, so he could only leave the sparse forest area with Moder and Fei Xi in a formation that ensured that the three of them were both offensive and defensive.
Suddenly feeling the black knight on the other side of the river, with sharp eyes like blades, and the stinging pain sweeping around his body, Lu Bin couldn't help but speak.
"We can't retreat any further, and if we retreat, we'll fall into the river!Modell, Faich, I know that you have chosen to temporarily retreat in the face of the disparity in strength to save yourself, but the Guardian of the Ruins sent us out of the country very unceremoniously with just one javelin, which is ridiculous. Aren't all the hardships of our long journey, and all the efforts we have made before, wasted?"
"Alas!" said Modell, with a long sigh, not knowing what to say.
He didn't deny that he had been scared and deeply shocked and disturbed by the fact that the other party could easily disarm the protective spell and threaten him anytime and anywhere.
Moder could only comfort his wounded heart with the pretense that "the other party is a descendant of the wilderness demigod Paine, and it is not a shame to defeat at her hands", otherwise Lord Reze's accusation just now would be very embarrassing to him.
At this time, the leader of the Black Knight on the other side of the river began to act, his eyes were very sharp like a falcon, and he could see the sparse forest area even from a hundred steps of the river, using the tree spirit that disappeared through the forest.
"Kandel! ”
The Black Knight, who was regarded by the leader as his right hand, immediately obeyed the order to turn over and dismount, and drove the Nightmare Horse, which was born of a mixture of Nightmare and Ice Horse, down the river, and in order to ensure that it could cause a wave of river beasts, Kandel ruthlessly kicked the mount.
The sharp spurs of the boots grazed the not-so-deep wound in the back of the horse, and the burning pain inspired the magical beast with the blood of hell to rush forward in a frenzy, its huge eyes dripping red with blood, and its nose spewing hot smoke like steam.
The constant permanent spell of the Mountain Locks was immediately activated, perhaps deliberately stimulated by the evil aura of Bartow's Hell on the horse, and the unicorn wave was more intense than the animal bridge that washed away the beast tamers.
The calm surface of the river rolled up three meters high, engulfing Kandel's nightmare mount in an instant, and the crystal clear water was dyed an ominous red in the rolling rapids, and spread rapidly downstream.
Waist-deep in the river, the unsettling water level quickly lowered to ankle level, and the leader of the Black Knights let out a smug laugh like a night owl caught his prey, and led the charge forward on his mount.
As he approached Kandel, who had lost his mount, the leader of the Black Knights took great care of his right hand and pulled him up, leaving him in his immediate position.
The other two black knights reacted immediately, and Dudamel lightly clamped his feet on the horse's belly, and the tame nightmare horse mount immediately followed the pace of his companion in front of him, jumped down the river that had become very safe, and hurried to the other side of the river.
Moder felt a chill in his heart, an instinctive warning of approaching danger, and he immediately looked back, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
"Lord Rez, the ...... The black knight in the back went into action. ”
Lu Bin didn't look back, and said casually: "I know! However, this happens to be our plan, isn't that the case?"
Modell sighed, seeing that the matter had come to this point, it was no longer possible to speculate on what would happen next with common sense, and as for Feys, who was sandwiched between the two and adhered to neutrality, he secretly annoyed why he had just been more bold and stood up in support of the suggestion of "Lord Rez".
Lu Bin continued to calm the emotions of the two: "I originally had some expectations, those black knights could be more daring, I didn't expect them to be good hunters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. Now it's our turn to get out of the way, and only by doing so will the Guardians of the Ruins concentrate on dealing with them. ”
As soon as this magical theory was finished, before the two of them could digest it, Lu Bin pulled Moder and Fei Xi out of the sparse forest, jumped into the river that had not recovered since the water level became low, and waded towards the empty opposite bank.
The leader of the black knights did not expect that the competitor who was one step ahead, the prey that was scheduled to be easily solved, could resolutely jump out of the trap at a critical moment, and was about to send his subordinates to snipe, but before the more valuable target was achieved, he could only stop and pinch his nose to acquiesce to the facts.
The two sides staggered across a distance of about twenty steps, and Lu Bin saw the moment the leader of the black knight turned around, the flames in his eyes appeared, but it was a pity that even if the other party was aware of it, he didn't want to miss the empty period of the beast wave enchantment that he had sacrificed a nightmare mount in exchange.
When his feet stepped on the riverbank, he breathed a sigh of relief, and gestured to the panting Moder and Faich on their foreheads: "Luck is with us, and now we are finally safe." ”
Two nightmare horses carried four black knights across the reindeer river, unscathed, and landed unharmed, reaching the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom ruins.
The Treant Girl hiding in the sparse forest area immediately turned solemn, obviously having doubts about whether her strength would be able to kill the second wave of outsiders.
"One, two, three, four, the leader is a little worse than me, one-on-one can frustrate him, if the other three join forces...... I'm getting a headache. ”
Lu Bin saw that the two sides had not officially greeted each other, but the guardians of the ruins hidden in the shadows had already launched further actions.
"In this way, as long as we enter the ruins of the Elven Kingdom, we will be hit by the Guardians! We have made the right choice to take a step back for the time being, at least to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and now it will be up to them to fight!"
Moder and Fische nodded lightly in agreement, and then felt a strong cry of protest from their stomachs, and the inopportune "cooing" made the two of them bow their heads in shame, especially in front of the respected "Lord Rez", it was really too embarrassing.
Lu Bin unhurriedly relieved the siege: "Hey! Out of the dangerous situation, after the tense body relaxed, I also felt very hungry, hungry and now I can eat a cow." ”
"That's it, anyway, the battle between the two sides on the other side of the river is not so quick to divide the winner, Fixi, Moder, you go find some firewood, I'll take a look around the neighborhood to see if I can find some nuts and other harvests." ”
The two immediately complied, but did not go their separate ways, and always stayed together. Lu Bin smiled disappreciatively, found an old oak tree, and easily collected a large handful of acorns.
Lu Bin used the stones picked up by the river to build a simple stove, and after the firewood was in place, he immediately lit it with flint, put all kinds of nuts they had collected, and simmered quickly, exuding an attractive burnt sweet fragrance.
On the reddened flat pebbles, Lu Bin put down the slices of salted meat cut with a knife, and in the blink of an eye, the cold and hard jerky softened in the fat-ripened fat, and with the various nuts minced and hard shelled, it was a delicious dinner.
Lu Bin, Moder, and Fei Xi soothed their tormented stomachs with satisfaction, and across the hundred-pace-wide river, they admired the flames of war burning on the opposite bank.
The negotiation between the leader of the black knights and the guardian of the ruins was unsuccessful from the beginning, after all, no matter how good-tempered a person is, it is difficult for him to complete a normal conversation under the accusations of thieves and robbers on the other side.
When the dryad's javelin was thrown at the leader of the Black Knights with all his might, he had to dodge sideways, only to see Kandel, who he regarded as his right and left hand, fall to the ground, and he tore off the peace disguise on his face.
Lu Bin stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side: "I have to say that this kind of staying out of the matter and watching others fight and die is indeed a great joy in life." ”
The two mage apprentices nodded happily in agreement with the comments of "Lord Rez", deeply admiring his foresight in capturing the fighter plane and his decisiveness in making decisions on the spot.
