Chapter 145: Asking for Money and Not Death

Victor now has as many as hundreds of alchemy crows, and these excellent reconnaissance units can't monitor the entire territory, but they can monitor several important areas, the Jinshui River bank at the southern end of the territory, the border line of the Earldom of Chebman in the east, the intersection of the Buryat Territory in the northeast, and the border of the Eskeri Territory in the north, as long as the retreating Ant-Man leader passes through these places, Victor can know in the shortest possible time and make corresponding deployments.

This advantage allowed Victor to gain the initiative on the battlefield, and 9 Ant-Man leaders were already buried deep underground, and when the smell of their blood was destroyed by the croissant leaves, Victor would send someone to dig them up and send them to the secret fortress to decompose into precious materials.

As soon as Viscount Turnis entered the Victor Domain, he was discovered by the Alchemy Crow. Similarly, two Ant-Men chase down a female knight, and Victor soon learns.

Victor deftly climbed the tallest redwood tree at the top of the hill. This redwood is more than 30 meters high, and Victor stands on the treetops, and the scenery can be seen clearly in a radius of several kilometers. More than 3,000 meters away, an alchemy crow hovered in the air, and below the alchemy crow, a knight in lady's armor was running in this direction, and behind her were two fierce Ant-Man leaders chasing after her.

Although the distance is far away, Victor, who has extraordinary eyesight, can see clearly. The female knight was hidden in bright silver armor, tall and slender, holding a silver giant sword of astonishing size, 10 meters away in one step, and running at a speed of 18 meters per second. Two hideous, ugly Ant-Man leaders suckled behind her at the same speed, not with a high-pitched, piercing hiss. One of the Ant-Man leaders was on all fours and running like a centaur, while the other was more miserable, with multiple tears in his carapace and an arm missing, so he had to run upright, apparently having survived a fierce battle and was wounded. Looking at the green blood stains on the female knight's armor, there is no doubt that she was the one who hit the Ant-Man hard. That female knight must be a silver-level knight, and only a high-level knight can inflict heavy damage on silver-level Ant-Man.

Victor's face sank, he knew that the intact Ant-Man leader could catch up with the female knight, it deliberately slowed down, probably not wanting to take risks, they were waiting for the support of the other Ant-Man leaders, and the green blood on the female knight's body was like a lighthouse pointing the way for the ant colony.

Victor looked south for a while, and sure enough, two alchemical crows were hovering five kilometers to the south, telling Victor that the two ant colonies had approached. Soon, the female knight will be blocked by the ant colony, and she will have no way to survive by then.

Victor's face was cloudy, and he hesitated.

As the Yorks intensified their war with the ant colony, most of the ant colonies on the western side of the kingdom were attracted to the town of Blackcastle. The lords who suffer from the ant plague will no longer sit idly by and watch the ant colony destroy the crops in their territory, they will inevitably organize forces to eliminate the sporadic ant colony, and the presence of the ant-man leader will most likely be detected. However, the leader of the ant-man and the ordinary ant-man are mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish, as long as the leader of the ant-man is not killed in the first place, the ant colony will not get out of control, and the weakness of the ant colony will not be exposed, at most, it will be found that there are silver-level ant-men in the ant colony. Moreover, the pattern of the centaur hills has been decided, and it doesn't matter if the secret of the leader of the ant-man is exposed, anyway, there is no evidence to prove that the York family knows the weakness of the ant colony, which is the consensus of Victor and Sylvia.

Victor is not worried about exposing the secrets of the Ant-Man leader, he is entangled in the fact that the Thoryin Heavy Crossbow cannot be exposed. The Thur Silver Heavy Crossbow is an important part of Victor's plan, and this weapon of mass destruction is bound to stick to the blood of the knights. If Victor wants to stabilize the situation behind the scenes, he can't expose his relationship with Thoryin Heavy Crossbow. But to sit back and watch the female knight die in the ant colony, Victor couldn't bear it.

If someone were armed with a shotgun and saw a tiger trying to eat a man, would he kill the tiger and save his own kind? Victor believes that most people will choose to shoot to save people, which is in line with the values of modern society. Although the silver-tier ant-man is much more ferocious than the tiger, Victor is also confident that he will shoot him with one arrow, but the premise is that he must release a cold arrow, so he needs to ambush him in advance.

Seeing the female knight getting closer and closer, Victor finally made up his mind, he slid down the treetops silently, and commanded everyone: "Shak, you take people to the back to ambush, and when Ant-Man enters the best range of Thoryin's heavy crossbow, shoot the wounded Ant-Man." Nelson, Renault, you and I go to the front to set up an ambush, and Shak will do it, and I'll shoot the intact Ant-Man. Jack, keep the mastiff pack, and if I miss, let the mastiff entangle the Ant-Man leader and the female knight. But don't kill her, I'm going to live. ”

Victor decides to save the female knight, but if even the war mastiff is exposed, Victor will have to imprison the female knight in his secret fortress.

After the order was given, Victor took Nelson and Renaud and lurked in the dense bushes below the hill, with two stringed silver crossbows by his side, which were coated with grass juice and turned from a bright blue-white to a dark green, so that they would not be unnoticed because of the reflection.

Victor entered the hidden state of the golden toad's secret form, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his breathing was as if there was nothing, not only his perception was greatly improved, but the whole person also perfectly integrated into the environment.

Soon, the female knight led the two Ant-Man leaders into Victor's shooting range, and neither of them noticed anything unusual in the bushes, and rumbled past Victor, exposing their backs to the sharp twin silver bolts. Victor was motionless, he was waiting for Shak to make the first move, forming a front and back attack, shooting the two Ant-Man leaders in one fell swoop.

However, after the female knight stepped into the range of Shak's shot, she rushed directly towards the monkey militia lurking in the bushes.

Victor secretly hated that the female knight had discovered Shak and them, and she wanted to get out of it. Fortunately, the Alchemy Militia's will did not surprise this emotion, and only waited for the injured Ant-Man leader to enter within 300 meters and shoot decisively. It's a pity that because of the actions of the female knight, they have been exposed, although the Ant-Man leader is injured, but after all, it is a silver-level powerful monster, it reacted in advance, and pounced sideways, and the powerful silver crossbow bolt flashed from the side of the Ant-Man leader like four streamers, and finally missed.

At the same time, Victor pulled the trigger of the Thorsilver crossbow directly. The incomparably sharp twin silver crossbow bolts silently passed through the space of 20 meters under the breeze, and instantly pierced the back of the able-bodied ant-man's head, and he didn't know that area in the ant-man's brain, only to see it immediately collapse to the ground, and it was a desperate convulsion.

The female knight's reaction was once again unexpected by Victor, and as soon as the Ant-Man leader fell to the ground, she turned and pounced on the other Ant-Man. Earthy yellow air currents appeared around her, and the female knight stepped hard, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground, and she stepped over a distance of more than 20 meters, and the Mithril greatsword slashed down towards Ant-Man, green blood splattered, and the greatsword sank into Ant-Man's tough body, almost splitting it in half. The mortally wounded Ant-Man leader grabbed the sharp blade and slammed the female knight into the head with a punch. The female knight shook her hand into a fist and smashed it on the fist of the Ant-Man leader, and with a dull loud noise, the female knight flew backwards and pulled out the Mithril greatsword stuck in Ant-Man's body with the help of this combined force, and green blood spurted out of the huge wound like a fountain. The leader of Ant-Man struggled to take two steps and fell to the ground to die.

The green-blooded female knight turned to Victor and was about to speak when she heard Victor shout, "Run!"

The knightess was stunned for a moment, then the ground began to tremble, and she resolutely chased after Victor's back. When she rounded the hill, the two mastiffs went out, each picked up the corpse of an Ant-Man leader, and fled.

Victor quickly withdrew with a few of his men, and the female knight followed closely behind them. After running a few hundred meters, Victor turned around and said angrily: "Don't run separately! Do you want to kill us?"

The female knight is stained with the green blood of the Ant-Man leader, and although Victor has made some arrangements, the breath in the blood of the Ant-Man leader is much stronger than that of ordinary Ant-Man, which will attract many ant colonies to track down.

Ant-Man's running speed is fast, and Ant-Man's leader is faster, but fortunately, Ant-Man Leader will not leave the ant colony when tracking, the ant colony is like the Ant-Man leader's weapon, and no one will drop their weapons when fighting. Therefore, normal Ant-Man will slow down the Ant-Man leader. With the strength of the silver rank of the female knight, it is completely possible to get rid of the ant colony, but although Victor is fast, his physical strength is average, and if he runs like this, he will be caught up sooner or later. It can be said that the female knight's behavior is very bad, like deliberately pulling the monster into the pile of people, and Victor can't help but feel angry.

Nelson whispered as she ran, "My lord, she can't seem to run." ”

Only then did Victor notice that the female knight's footsteps were scattered and her breathing was short, obviously her fighting spirit had dried up, and her physical strength was almost at the limit. Victor immediately understood why the female knight had been following them, she had lost the ability to escape alone.

"If you don't want to die, you leave your armor and sword behind. Victor reminded loudly.

Not to mention that the equipment of the female knight was covered with the blood of the leader of the Ant-Man, it was also very heavy, and it was wise to throw away these burdens while fleeing for her life. However, her answer surprised Victor.

"Never!" the knightess's voice was a little hoarse, but it was unshakable.

Seeing that the female knight held the giant sword tighter instead, Victor asked angrily, "Is it important to have equipment or is it important to have your own life?"

"Mithril gear is worth the effort. The knight replied categorically, in typical Chebman style.

Victor stopped talking nonsense and hurried away. After running 5 kilometers, Nelson whispered again, "My lord, she doesn't seem to be able to do it." ”

Victor didn't have to look back to hear the female knight's snorting gasps, even though she was tired enough to lose the Mithril greatsword.

"Can you throw away that sword?" Victor couldn't help but shout.

"Whew, that's ...... Phew, this is made of Mithril and Adamantite. The knight gasped.

"Ant-Man doesn't eat metal! Victor patiently persuaded.

"Whew, don't try to lie to me! Ant-Man can use weapons!"

"You're going to be caught up by ant colonies. ”

"Leave me alone. ”

"Then what are you doing with us?!"

The female knight's posture of asking for money and not wanting her life really drove Victor crazy, but he couldn't bear to see her die like this.

"Well, there's a lake in front of it, and there's a small island in the middle of it. You throw your equipment into the lake, wash off the blood on your body by the way, and then swim to the island to rest, Ant-Man can't swim and won't be able to take your equipment. We'll cover you first, and then we'll meet on the island. ”

"Good. The female knight was overjoyed, and even her speed was much faster.

Watching the female knight run along the Heishui River towards Pinghu Village, Victor Nelson said, "Call the dog cart over, let's go back to the camp!"

"Didn't you say you'd go to the island in the middle of the lake?" asked Nelson, puzzled.

"I'll kill her!"
