Chapter 4: The Black-Armored Cavalry

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, Roger's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It was exactly what I expected. ”

Because the situation outside the tent, as he expected, was completely one-sided, and the guards belonging to the caravan could not even organize a decent resistance, and were harvested back and forth by a group of cavalrymen in black armor.

The number of this group of cavalry is not very large, about a dozen, in terms of numbers, not even half of the caravan guards, but the number sometimes does not represent anything, just like now, the caravan guards were killed by this group of black-armored cavalry, and they lost their armor and had no power to fight back.

"Look for death!"

The steward, who was about to organize a manpower to resist, saw that the guards were completely slaughtered by one side, and suddenly let out a loud shout, drew a broad-backed long sword from the wooden cart loaded with goods next to him, and rushed towards the black cavalry!

"Hey, he's still a beginner knight?" It wasn't until the steward made a move that Oliver saw the reality of the steward and let out a soft sigh.

But Roger, it's not surprising about this, as early as the first time he saw the steward, he saw that this person was a junior knight, Oliver was not very familiar with the knight system after all, Roger was different, and it was nothing to him to see that the steward was a knight.

The blonde girl behind Depp saw that the steward had made a move, and cheered: "It's been a long time since I've seen Renault's butler make a move, and now those damn guys are going to be unlucky." ”

Depp didn't speak, but looking at his relieved appearance, it was obvious that what he was thinking was the same as what his granddaughter said.

Compared with the optimism of Depp and his granddaughter, Roger has a completely opposite opinion: "It's not the group of people on the other side who are unlucky, it's true that the junior knight can fight ten with one, but that means facing ordinary soldiers, not the same rank......"

That's right, these black-armored knights are also beginner knights!

A cavalry squad composed of more than a dozen junior knights, no matter which country in the continent, this combination can be regarded as a big deal, and even Roger was slightly stunned when he saw these dozen people at first sight, wondering if he had lost his eyes.

You must know that Roger's father in this life, as a hereditary viscount, only has one junior knight under his command, and a businessman like Depp, who owns a chamber of commerce, must have spent a lot of money to hire a junior knight as a butler.

And the people who can make a group of junior knights willing to be small soldiers......

"It's not easy. Roger played with a dagger that he had taken out of nowhere, causing it to hover back and forth between his fingers, looking at the black-armored cavalrymen by the way.

Just as Roger sighed at the generosity of the people behind the black-armored cavalry on the other side, the butler under Depp's hand had already rushed to the black-armored cavalry, and swung his big sword at one of them, slashing sideways with a sword.

"Die!"

Seeing this, the black-armored cavalry who was targeted simply didn't bother to dodge, raised the spear in his hand, and reversed towards the slashing sword.

Clang!!!

The spear in the hand of the black-armored cavalry firmly held the sword that the butler had slashed.

"How is this possible!" Except for Roger, the others, whether it was the housekeeper himself or the Depp grandchildren here, were all shocked by this scene.

Even Oliver, who was holding the mentality of watching the show, was taken aback: "No, are these black-armored cavalrymen also knights?"

The black-armored cavalry verified Oliver's suspicion with their movements, and just as the black-armored cavalry who was regarded as the first target held the butler's longsword, two more black-armored cavalrymen surrounded the butler after killing the obstructive guards.

And the butler is also worthy of a knight, after the initial shock, he turned around and wanted to exit the encirclement of the black-armored cavalry first, but he himself ran over, and he did not ride a horse, where would the speed be as fast as those black-armored cavalry who surrounded him. Therefore, he had only just taken two steps back when he was blocked by the other two black-armored cavalrymen who had come over.

After just a few breaths, the butler was already colored.

Seeing this, Depp looked desperate: "How can this be, where is this bit of my goods worthy of so many knight-level characters to snatch, could it be that I have offended anyone?"

The blonde girl was also too frightened to speak at this time, standing behind Depp and shivering.

Seeing that the butler was about to become a thread under the siege of three black-armored cavalry, Oliver couldn't stand it anymore, but he still had a good impression of the butler.

"For your sake, count yourself lucky......"

Oliver took a half-step forward and moved his hands in front of him, one palm up and the other palm down, half-suspended in front of his chest.

At the same time, he whispered in his mouth: "Wind Blade-"

With the sound of his thoughts, a dark cyan phantom appeared between his palms, and spun rapidly, and in an instant, it turned into the shape of a small knife.

"Go!"

Oliver pushed with both hands, and saw the cyan phantom knife disappear from in front of him, and in the next moment, one of the black-armored cavalrymen besieging the butler let out a muffled snort, and a large hole the size of a bowl appeared in his chest, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways!

"There's a wizard!" The black-armored cavalry over there reacted instantly, and one of them shouted urgently: "Retreat! Run!!"

Whoa-

The black-armored cavalry came and went quickly, and they fled very decisively.

And the butler, who was originally besieged, finally picked up a life, and sat on the ground with his ass, panting breathlessly.

As the owner of the caravan, the old man Depp was so shocked by Oliver's sudden revelation of his wizard identity that he was speechless for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he bowed deeply to Oliver with some trepidation: "Thank you, Earl, oh no, thank you Lord Wizard for saving your life!"

Oliver waved his hand indifferently, and didn't care much about Depp's sudden respectful attitude, because this kind of scene had been experienced too many times in his hundred-year-old life, and it was no longer strange, so he ignored Depp, but turned to Roger and asked: "I said Roger, you have already heard the movement of these black-armored cavalry, right?"

"Well, but I didn't think they were coming for the caravan at first. Roger looked at the direction in which the black-armored cavalry were leaving, and said thoughtfully: "The cavalry team composed of knights, this is not a formation that robbers can have......

Oliver was also very puzzled when he heard this: "It's quite strange, isn't this old man offended someone and was approached by someone to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?"

Depp stood aside, wanting to speak and stopping.

He could now see that Oliver, a powerful wizard, didn't seem to have the same attitude toward the young man named Roger as he did towards the guards.

Therefore, when the two of them spoke, Depp felt that he was not qualified to interject.

"There's something strange about this, in my opinion, those black-armored cavalry are more like aimless slaughter, not like they came to seek revenge, and not like bandits. Roger mused.

As early as when he heard the black-armored cavalry coming around, Roger judged from their uniform marching sound that this was an elite cavalry squad, although Roger didn't guess that these black-armored cavalry were actually beginner knights, but just from their orderly march, Roger knew that the people who came were not the ones who could resist the stragglers under Depp's hands.

And in fact, it is true, in front of this team of black-armored cavalry, Depp's escort team can't even put up decent resistance...... After all, there were more than a dozen junior knights.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter to us if there's anything strange or not. Oliver didn't take this matter to heart: "Although the cavalry squad composed of junior knights is rare, but that's all, do you think you can still threaten us......"

- Buzz!!

Just as Oliver was talking, a violent trilling sound suddenly came into his ears, and then he noticed that Roger's right hand appeared in front of him at some point, clenched into a fist, and steadily held a dark golden arrow!

The sharp dark gold arrows were less than two fingers away from his face, and the violent trilling sound was the sound of the arrows being suddenly caught in the flight, and the tail of the arrow trembled.

Seeing this scene, Oliver didn't understand what was going on, a row of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his complexion instantly became ugly and abnormal.

"Heh, what am I talking about?" Roger withdrew his hand holding the dark golden arrow, turned his back to Oliver, and his tone was full of ridicule: "In this barren mountain and wild place, it is really interesting to first meet a cavalry team composed of more than a dozen junior knights, and then you can also meet a high-ranking knight...... However, the sneak attack was really a bit inferior. ”

"So you're still giving it to me...... Die for it!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Roger suddenly threw the dark golden arrow in his hand in a certain direction in the darkness, bringing a sharp sound of breaking the air!
