Chapter 155: The Night of Murder

The silver moon was obscured by the clouds again, and the sky and the earth were dim, and the surface of the lake, which had shimmered with silver scales, became dark and dull, and the vague outline of the scenery in the distance could no longer be seen.

The night is dark and the night kills, the wind is high and the sky is set on fire.

Lorist somehow thought of this sentence, and felt that it was very appropriate.

At this moment he was standing on the shore of the lake, and the cold autumn wind was blowing on the lake, blowing his outer cloak over his armor, and waving in the wind.

Behind him stood Pat and Reddy, each holding two mounts, three of which were three-man mounts and the other a spare horse, with four pitching spears hanging from the left and right, swaying incessantly.

Behind them, there was a neatly arranged squadron phalanx, all of which were dressed in the same style of purple-brown refined iron plate armor. The left chest of the iron plate armor has a palm-sized silver-gray lion pattern, the right hand holds a riding spear of the same length and length standing on the ground, the left hand leads his war horse, the same style of black outer cloak is covered behind him, the left arm armor is also covered with a purple-brown basin-sized riding shield, the left waist hangs the same style of sword, under the body is the same iron apron, armor and long riding boots with iron face and spurs.

This is one of the most elite forces of the Norton family, and the main escort force of the northbound convoy, the Iron Lancers. After equipping the standard equipment of the original White Lion Legion, it looks even more extraordinary.

Each soldier stood solemnly and silently, like a statue carved from a bottle of iron. Only the occasional sound of horses broke the darkness and tranquility of the wilderness......

The murderous aura permeated and swirled over the squadron phalanxes, and when the cold night wind swept over these phalanxes, it brought with it the icy aura of murderous aura.......

The silver moon poked its face out of the clouds again, and the gentle silver moonlight sprinkled the whole world again.

The surface of the egret lake is again shining with silver scales, and patches of white mist are filled in the distance. obscuring the entire field of vision......

The Locke boats are placed side by side more than a meter apart, and the three-meter-long boats are lined with rows of wooden rafts more than two meters wide, connecting the boats together into a path into the depths of the mist, and there is no end in sight......

Two figures appeared faintly in the depths of the mist, running quickly one after the other. The path began to ripple and undulate.......

The two figures running in were the guards Ruhl and Morder. They gasped and came to Lorist's side: "My lord, the pontoon bridge is connected to the other side, Lord El ordered us to come and report, it is passable......"

"Well done. Loris nodded and strode over to the pontoon. Ruel and Mo consciously took Pat, and one of Reddy's mounts followed Lorist onto the pontoon.

The phalanx on the lakeshore field also moved, and the soldiers led their horses in a single line and followed Pat's mount to the pontoon bridge......

The pontoon bridge of more than 400 meters, Lorist walked for more than ten minutes. The pontoon bridge behind him was vibrating violently, and the water in the lake under the boat was rippling and colliding, eventually forming tidal waves

Soon, one after another ironclad lancers led their mounts ashore, and then, under the guidance of the waiting guards, they assembled in the predetermined clearing, and by this time they were all mounted on their horses, and in a short time they gathered into two squadrons.

Rod Wells crossed the pontoon bridge to Lorlist's side: "My lord. Isn't it time for us to go?"

Lorist whispered, "Okay, let's go." “

In the dark jungle. The horses marched in silence, and on the winding path, from time to time they saw the white ash arrow marks painted on the trees on both sides, which were extremely white in the light of the silver moonlight.

All the horses were wrapped in thick holsters, and the echo of the horses' hooves on the silent path was a dull thunder that shook the earth and the jungle

An hour and a half later, three mournful chirps of night owls were heard in the distance. Elle, who had taken the lead, stopped his mount, and the horse team stopped.

Three black shadows rushed out of the mountain forest and came to the front of the horse team, and one of the black shadows in front whispered a few words to El, and then disappeared into the jungle with two companions. "Your Excellency. Less than two miles from the enemy's barracks, I suggested dismounting and walking there. Although it enveloped the horse's hooves, the shaking of the ground was noticeable to the enemy. We had to get closer to catch him off guard," El said to Lorist.

In order to ensure the success of the night attack, at the beginning of the silver moon, El led half of the guards selected by the main battalion of the convoy to secretly cross the Egret Lake, remove the guard posts on the opposite bank, and successfully cover and block the path leading to the enemy's camp.

"Give the order to go down, dismount the horse, mount the horse, and lead the horse on foot, taking care not to make a sound. Lorist turned to Pat and commanded.

In less than an hour, the enemy's large camp appeared a stone's throw away, several sentries at the camp gate leaned against the camp wall and took a nap, and there were no sentries standing on the two guard towers on both sides of the camp gate. "My lord, I will take someone to deal with the guards at the camp gate and the watchtower, and open the camp gate. After El finished speaking, the figure flashed twice, and then disappeared into the darkness "All the equipment is cleaned up, and the plan is followed" Lorist finished the order, crouched down and untied the holster of the four hooves of the mount.

Under the silver moonlight, several black shadows suddenly flashed at the gate of the camp like ghosts, the cold light flashed like stars, and the four napping guards seemed to leak their breath, collapsed under the camp wall, and fell into eternal sleep.

A figure climbed up one watchtower like a gecko, and soon climbed down, followed by another.

The door of the camp was silently opened

Lorist raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves broke the quiet night, and at a distance of more than a hundred meters, under the hooves of the galloping war horses, it was only a few moments, and Lorist took the lead, rushed through the camp gate, and entered the sleeping barracks

Countless ironclad spearmen swarmed in, and the barracks were filled with the sound of killing, screaming, and crying

One military tent after another burned, and in the firelight, ironclad horsemen with spears appeared in front of the soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion who had just woken up from a big dream like ghosts in the fire and smoke. They mercilessly slaughtered the unsuspecting and even unarmed Iron Guard soldiers, leaving only corpses, blood, and raging fire......

Lorist rode straight to the big tent of the Chinese army in the barracks, according to the information provided by His Royal Highness II. The Principality of Madras has a great swordsman and seven golden knights, and the great swordsman has always been by the side of the Grand Duke of Madras, four of whom serve in the Sea Mountain Legion, and three of whom are in the Iron Guard Legion.

Lorist thought that the more than 10,000 Iron Guard soldiers in the Bread Gang barracks must have a Golden Knight in charge, and as long as he took this Golden Knight, the night attack tonight would be complete.

In the spear sweep, the two pillars of the Chinese tent became two sections, and the entire Chinese tent fell to the ground tiltingly, but more than ten guards of the tent became the ghosts of Lorist's spear. Lorist didn't meet the expected Golden Knight.

Just as Lorist was wandering on horseback on the tent of the Chinese army, and did not give up on probing the suspicious place under the horse's hooves with his spear, he heard a loud sound of "dang" not far away, and the golden light flashed, and when he turned his head, it was Rod Wells who was dancing a riding spear with a flashing golden sword and a figure on the ground with a long sword that also flashed golden sword light.

Well, it turns out that the golden knight ran over there. No wonder the Chinese army's big tent can't be found here, and it was picked up by this guy Ross. Lorist muttered a word and rode his horse slowly. The right hand reached back, and a throwing gun fell into the palm of his hand. Lorist began to press for Rod Wells, keeping an eye on the two Golden Knights, ready to come to the rescue in case of a crisis.

Rod Wells was like a mad tiger, taking advantage of his horse to use the riding spear in his hand as a machete, and the blade of the golden sword flashed in a dazzling arc. Swiftly slashed at the Golden Knight who was standing on the ground.

The golden knight was not ambiguous, the long sword flashing with golden swords kept parrying slashes from all directions, but he was on the ground, and he was holding a short weapon and suffered a little, and he had to take a small step back every time he parried.

Rod Wells roared like thunder. The last slash sent the opponent several steps away.

Turning the horse's head and slamming the horse's belly with his spurs, the horse under him let out a neighing roar, and Rod Wells shouted: "Kill!" and slashed down with his spear......

The golden knight on the ground had just stood firm, and when he saw Rod Wells rushing towards him, he screamed, took his position, and raised his sword, ready to block the slash again.

The spear slashed down like thunder, and when it was about to strike with the long sword, it suddenly fluttered lightly, made a wonderful half circle, bypassed the long sword, turned into a thorn, and the golden sword flashed violently......

The knight on the ground never dreamed that his opponent would suddenly change his moves, and the long sword that was originally about to block was set up in the air, but he couldn't turn back, and his eyes instantly changed from surprise to despair, and he heard a "plop" sound, and the blade of the riding spear sank into his chest.

"Die. Rod Wells picked up the body of the Golden Knight with his mounted spear and smashed it into a nearby clearing, blood falling down the blade......

"Well done!" Lorist exclaimed, "Powerful like a tiger, a wonderful move, kill the enemy with one blow." Let's call you Tiger Ross from now on. ”

Rod Wells "hehe" Zhile: "Thank you for complimenting, I will be called Tiger Ross in the future." ”

"It's so unfair, I've done a lot this time, and you've got to give me a title too, Locke. A voice rang out beside Lorist,

Lorist turned his head to look, but El appeared beside him silently.

"Well, I'll give you one too, let's call it Shadow. Lorist said.

"Shadow El, yes, I like it. El thought about it for a while, and was very satisfied with the title.

"By the way, I'm looking for you. My lord, look at the above. El pointed to it with his hand.

Lorist looked up, but the Iron Guard soldiers stationed on the bread post were alarmed by the fighting in the barracks below, and hurriedly organized a group of men and horses to light torches and go down the mountain, and now they were halfway up the mountain.

"Looking at the number of torches, there are probably no less than a thousand, and we have only a few dozen guards blocking the passage down the mountain, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......resist," El reported.

"We just wanted to trap them for two or three days to force them to surrender, but now it's just right for us to go to the post and directly occupy their positions. Lorist said, looking at the torches that kept flashing down the mountainside.

"Blow the horn and inform the Second Highness on the opposite side that they will make a feint to contain them. Ross, this large battalion will be handed over to you to clean up the mess, and gather a large group of soldiers to abandon their horses and fight on foot, and follow me up the mountain. El, let's go. Lorist rode to the back of the barracks, and El grabbed a horse and followed, and Pat and Reddy, who were not far away, saw it and chased after him.

The sound of a horn echoed in the night sky......

The Second Highness, who was wandering back and forth in front of the military formation, stopped and listened attentively: "Did you hear the sound of the horn?

The blonde knight replied happily, "I heard it, it was indeed the sound of a trumpet." ”

"Locke, they've succeeded!" The Second Highness excitedly ordered: "Come on, blow the horn in response, raise fire, set up a wooden cart, and approach the front ...... the border."

Not far from the wooden fence erected by the Principality of Madras to seal the border, countless torches suddenly lit up, like stars in the sky, as bright as day. Countless people shouted the slogan of killing and killing in unison, and the huge sound shook the heavens and the earth.

The fortress of Liechnda was lit with clusters of candles, illuminating the whole castle brightly, and the guards in leather armor appeared at the head of the city, and they watched nervously as the torches in the distance continued to converge into a phalanx, and they were ready to launch a rain of crossbow arrows as soon as those phalanxes crossed the wooden fence......

The exit of the mountain road down from the bread post is a sparse forest, less than fifty meters away from the barracks, and there was originally a guard post of more than ten people, but it has long been solved by the guards blocking the mountain road.

The mountain road was not wide, only more than two meters away, and the soldiers who came up from the mountain to support were coming down, and when Lorist Pegasus arrived, he had already heard the shouting and the noisy marching sound from above.

The mountain path is S-shaped, and you won't see the enemy coming down from the post yet. Without saying a word, Lorist drew his sword and rushed up, and had just run a few dozen steps, when he saw a lot of soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion holding torches around the corner in front of him. When I saw Lorist rushing up, I thought he was coming up to report the news, and a voice was asking, "Stop, what's going on in the barracks below?"

Lorist was silent, and seeing that the enemy was close in front of him, he suddenly shouted: "Kill!"

Rushing into the crowd of enemies, the long sword was dotted with stars, and one after another the enemy screamed and kept rolling down the mountain road......

Lorist cleaves the waves against the current......

The enemy on the mountain road above finally shouted: "Enemy, it's the enemy attack......

The enemy on the mountain road below was in a mess, and it was necessary to pay attention to the feet and guard against the enemy, and in a hurry, it was impossible to organize an effective blockade against Lorlist, but because the terrain was just right for Lorlist, the losses were extremely heavy.

The enemies on the mountain road above began to retreat to the hill, but the enemies on the mountain road below couldn't retreat if they wanted to.

These soldiers of the Iron Guard are not his enemies at all, and when they can't cooperate, Lorist can play with ease, and his gestures are all killer moves. The most tragic thing was the soldiers who were left behind by him, not only El, Reddy and Pat and others were killed below, but also the corpses of their companions were constantly falling on them and smashing them down.

Lorist chased after the retreating enemy and killed him on the bread hill, focusing on those with torches. The Iron Guard soldiers, who had no torches, had no idea how many enemies were chasing them, but they fled in panic, and from time to time the unlucky ones who had stumbled and landed down the hill let out a long scream and fell.

Silver Moon hid behind the clouds again, and it was dark on the hill.

A familiar cry came from behind: "My lord, my lord, where are you......"

A few torches lit up at the mountain intersection, and it turned out that Pat and others had also gone up the hill.

Lorist was about to answer, when he suddenly felt a chill and a creep. He fell to the ground as he swooped, shouting, "Be careful, get down......"
