Chapter 54: Lucky Escape

The woodland within a radius of dozens of meters was in a mess, Grom was like a madman erupting with the fighting energy in his body, except for the leader of the black-armored army, no soldier could stop him for a moment, the enemy mage had already escaped several times with teleportation in this minute, but the distance was limited and he was always stuck to it, and he didn't even have time to open another portal for the follow-up army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Kalanhill, withdraw, I'll buy you time!" the leader of the black armor held his sword in both hands, and reluctantly admitted that he was defeated.

After a few moments of sacrifice of two more warriors and the leader, an escape portal finally appeared in the forest. The mage who made him did not hesitate to dive in, and the leader also used teleportation to escape the second, and after the two escaped, the portal dissipated in an instant, and the remaining soldiers were abandoned in this world.

Grom stopped, the blazing light on his body extinguished as the portal disappeared, and he stared coldly at the remaining dozen panicked black-armored soldiers, as if looking at a pile of dead people.

The reckless use of Dou Qi is extremely damaging to the body, and since the enemy has retreated, there is no need to fight hard.

Wait a minute...... The enemy has retreated?

He jerked his head up and looked in the direction of Rod's escape, knowing that he had been tricked.

***

The horses squirted, galloping, and returning as fast as they could, along the path they had run only two hours earlier. The outline of the town gradually appeared in the field of vision, and the important town here was garrisoned by troops, and when it arrived, it was safe.

But why were there black-armored cavalry chasing after them? The horses they were riding were so tall and strong, and they could still get a little closer even though they were wearing skull-looking terrifying armor!

They only left Grom with one horse, he ...... You okay.

"Put that girl down and take your life!" the magic-infused voice reached their ears hundreds of meters away.

"Silna, throw that girl down. Dieter was silent for a moment and whispered.

"What...... What?" the female swordsman looked at her boss in surprise.

"No, you can throw it down and try it!" rod yelled in horror. He had never spoken to someone close to him in such a heated tone, but he knew that Dieter wasn't joking, and if he didn't say anything, Sylna might have followed orders.

I said, throw it down. Dieter raised his voice as well, "Otherwise, you're disobeying orders, and I promise you'll lose your job and find it hard to find another job." ”

"He fired you, I'll raise you!" Rhodes did not hesitate to-for-tat, Dieter is an elder, he respects the other party, and knows that the other party wants to protect his safety, but he will never back down on this kind of thing.

He was relieved that his resolute attitude had worked. Sylna was silent for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at the pursuers behind her, assessed it, and felt that it was not hopeless to escape, so she refused to carry out the order in a calm tone: "No, I don't think it's necessary. ”

She could tell that Dieter was serious, and that the so-called "loss of job" obviously did not refer to the superficial caravan work, Dieter was only one level above him in the system, and perhaps did not have the authority to fire him directly. But as long as she reports to her superiors, she may not only lose her job but also have to go to a military court, and even be controlled and monitored for the rest of her life.

If there was no one to support her, she would probably have struggled and obeyed the order against her heart, but who was Rhodes? In his capacity, if he also seriously demanded his disobedience, would Dieter dare to really rectify himself when he went back? As long as the young father said a word, even if he went to the court-martial, he would be able to walk out unscathed.

The girl who was immediately unconscious had already woken up, and although she was not yet conscious, she instinctively put her arms around the horse's neck. Syllna pulled out a pocket crossbow hanging from her saddle bag, carefully wound it on her horse, and shot an arrow backwards.

It didn't hit anyone, but the attack of the ranged weapon still made the pursuers panic, and the momentum of the chase suddenly slowed down by half a minute.

Then a magical attack unceremoniously landed at the feet of the horses, blasting up a small cloud of mud and sand, and the horses neighed nervously.

"Good. Dieter said angrily, "Then run and see if you can get away!"

Sylna's horse is also a good horse, and her weight is indeed light, but the two lighter people together become the heaviest. She quickly fell to the end, and Rod had to slow down slightly to keep up with her. The enemy's attack suddenly woke him up, and he seemed to be able to do magic too!

Countless sessions at Catherine's office had taught his body the magic as he shouted a spell as a skull-sized ball of searing fireball slowly brewed in his palm, and he flung it out with great speed.

"Bang!" The speed of the fireball was not fast, and the pursuers at the front were able to dodge in time, and the fireball exploded between the hooves of the horses, causing the following cavalry to be in a big mess.

"A little warlock, interesting!" the leader of the black-armored men sat on his horse and laughed angrily, "Give him some color and show him, let him know what real magic is!"

Magic shot one after another, some even grazed their bodies and hit the ground in front of them, exploding clouds of flames or sand, gravel and mud chips, Rod did not dare to continue to raise his head to fight back, he could only bow down on the horse's back in the same way, regretting for the first time in his life that he did not study magic well. If Mother is here, with a wave of her hand, she can make the pursuers behind her turn on their backs, even if it is Roy, she will definitely have all kinds of ideas to stop the people behind...... But he only thought of a fireball technique, and he only used it once, which led to a storm of revenge.

The place where he was slashed on the shoulder blade was still hot and painful, but what was even more uncomfortable was the danger and killing intent on the back, and the pendant beating in his chest made him feel that the next moment there would be a magic or arrow on his body. In response to this long-range attack, the silk soft armor worn in the innermost part of the armor will certainly save him from being shot through, but the huge momentum will injure his internal organs and knock him off the horse.

"Sylna, ride the rear, they don't dare to attack the girl on your horse!" Dieter was anxious in his heart, lying on the back of the horse and turning his head and yelling: "Rod hide in front of Sylna!"

The boy quickly took this reasonable advice, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the little mare beneath him obediently accelerated and deflected, and ran directly in front of Sylna, with Dieter and Ryan sandwiching him between the left and right, respectively, to protect him in the middle.

The indiscriminate bombardment of magic did not stop, but he never dared to greet anyone, and the demon wolf with the wound on his back also wittily ran to the front, shrinking himself under the cover of several people. The pursuers are getting closer and closer, and the sound of the hooves of the two groups of people has been mixed in one place, and they can't get rid of it!

(Wait!I almost forgot the pendant my mother gave me, didn't I say it could save my life?) How the hell does it work, and if it's a spell that only saves you, what about Sylna and Dieter, and the unconscious girl?)

Rod reached for his chest, pinched the pendant, and began to hesitate to use it.

But there was a quick turn in the field of vision, and at the fork in the road ahead, there was actually an army crossing the route of the crowd retreating to the town.

***

Gongs and drums are noisy, flags are fluttering, weapons and armor are shining. The cavalry at the front of the line had already crossed the junction, followed by hundreds or thousands of infantry, archers in red chain mail and helmets, crossbowmen, shield men and spearmen with guys on their backs, and many more ordinary hoplite swordsmen with swords slung from their waists, guarding a long line of carriages in the middle of the procession.

Although it is located on the border, it is not a daily occurrence to encounter such an army of thousands on the main road, and Lady Luck has favored them!

"There are troops passing here, no one else is waiting!" The scout patrols on both sides of the marching army rode early, shouting to stop Dieter and the others from riding at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

"There's bandits chasing us!" Dieter shouted, and the group quickly brushed past the scouts.

The cavalryman also saw the black-armored cavalry behind them, and after observing for a moment, he immediately urged his horse to gallop back to the marching army, and at the same time shouted: "Enemy attack, prepare for battle!"

In peacetime, it was marching within its own borders, and the troops, which were crossing a fork in the road, were completely unaware of the situation. The direction of the black-armored army was right in the middle of the long line, and if it was cut in two by the impact, it would be tactically disadvantaged. The junior officers tensed up and began shouting loudly for the soldiers to form up to meet them.

The fleeing four men and one wolf and the scouts drilled through the gap in the central horse workshop of the army captain's column, and the soldiers, led by the ten, quickly entered the battle position, the shield soldiers erected a wall shield at the front, and the spears and halberds were aimed at the mysterious black-armored cavalry. This army has lost a lot of troops in the battle and replenished a lot of fresh blood, but under the leadership of a sufficient number of veterans, it has already regained its combat effectiveness, and at this moment it has shown superb quality in the face of accidents.

The mysterious black-armored knights stopped their horses, observed the formation of the human army for a moment, and then turned and retreated the way they came......

The cavalry quickly rushed out under the command of the commander and chased for a while, but they could not outrun the dozens of black-armored war horses, so they had no choice but to return to the ranks.
