Chapter 42: Target: Lake Santis

When Elle heard that she would leave at night, she immediately began to get busy, compared with Dio and the other men who had no long things, Elle needed to carry a lot of things, cosmetics, daily necessities, etc., plus the things that her daughter was reluctant to discard, and the carriage was half full.

By the time Elle had packed up, it was already late at night, and by this time Gordon had wrapped all the horses' hooves in cloth, and even the wheels of the carriage were wrapped in straw, and it seemed that he had some experience of escaping.

"How's it going out there?" Raymond had barely jumped into the courtyard when Gordon and Elle surrounded him.

"There are the most people in the west, and there are not many people in other directions. Raymond paused, then continued, "I think it's better to go north, it's closer to the permafrost glacier, and they shouldn't go there." ”

Gordon took out a map from his arms, looked at it carefully for a while, raised his head in surprise and said to Raymond, "Are you going to Lake Santis?"

"Anyway, you don't have a goal, it's relatively safe there, Chris Plains is about to mess up, I don't want to be stirred into. Raymond shrugged.

"I heard...... There's something quirky there. Gordon muttered.

Raymond nodded slowly: "Hearing is better than seeing, go and see for yourself, it can be regarded as adding some knowledge." ”

"It was decided. Gordon said.

"Huh, what about Theo?" asked Raymond.

"He said something and would come back right away. ”

"That guy is always mysterious and can't tell us?"

Gordon's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say it.

By the time Dio returned, Gordon and Raymond were ready, each riding a horse, and each of them had a spare horse behind him, and Dio's responsibility was to drive the carriage, and Elle and her daughter sat in the carriage, but fortunately they were both slender and not crowded.

As he set off, Raymond jokingly said to Dio, "If you don't want to nibble on bread every day, you must protect Ellie." ”

Dio naturally knew that this was the kindness of the two, and arranged himself in a relatively less dangerous position, after all, as long as Dio did not leave the carriage, he did not need to worry about a sneak attack from behind. But this is a problem for Dio, who has the advantage of speed, and is good at taking down enemies on the move, rather than going head-to-head with people.

Taking advantage of the night, the group quietly and slowly drove towards the north gate of Duita Town, and succeeded in not alarming anyone along the way.

But as soon as he walked out of the town gate, Gordon's face suddenly became ugly, "This is what you said that there are not many people?!"

"Compared to the west, it's not much ......," Raymond laughed dryly.

As far as Dio's eye could see, there were at least fifty tents standing quietly in the night, and in the light of the fire, some people could be seen staggering in and out of the tents.

According to the calculation of four people living in a tent, that is, there are at least two hundred bandits, even if this number is cut in half, it is enough to have a hundred people, and they have only three fighting forces here, and Gordon is still wounded and cannot fight for a long time.

The disparity in numbers between the enemy and the enemy is too great, not to mention the extreme samurai, even if there is a radiant samurai among these bandits, Theo and the others will probably not be able to get out. The only advantage is that these bandits will be slower than usual after an all-night.

Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the answer from the bottom of each other's eyes, if they don't rush now, the chance of breaking through tomorrow will be even slimmer.

"Raymond, Franvi's bandit leaders won't show up, at least until they find out where the mysterious powerhouse is, there's no need to risk their lives. Gordon said slowly.

"Hah...... Are you comforting me?" Raymond laughed dryly, "Don't worry, I'm not a child." ”

Gordon's face flashed with a fierce color, and he chuckled in a low voice, "Okay, let's go, let's see how good these bunnies under Franvi are!"

The three of them no longer concealed it, and they all pushed their speed to the limit, and rushed straight towards the bandits' camp.

Gordon took the lead, and when he was still dozens of meters away from the camp, he waved his hand again and again, and several crescent-shaped fires flew out, and in the loud bang, all the tents that were hit suddenly collapsed, and the people inside were awakened and began to scream and rush out, but the raging flames blocked their way to escape, and only a few people rushed out with severe pain, and their bodies were already burned by the flames.

Raymond didn't make a move, just followed Gordon's side closely, there was already a deep tacit understanding between the two, and Gordon always attacked and Raymond defended during the battle.

At this time, the curtain behind Dio was gently pushed open, and Elle poked out half of her face and asked in a panic, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. Dio turned to Ellie and smiled, signaling her not to worry, "Don't worry, it'll be fine for a while, don't come out no matter what happens." ”

Although it was only a glimpse, Ellie could already see the dozens of tents in the firelight, but no matter what she did at this moment, it was superfluous, and she could only hold her daughter tightly in her arms, hoping that the suffering would pass sooner.

While Dio and Elle were talking, Gordon and Raymond had already rushed into the camp, but unexpectedly, the expected large number of bandits did not appear, only a few tents of thieves who were awakened rushed out, and the strength of these bandits did not look very good, either split in half by Gordon's flame slash, or pushed into the air by the stone pillar that suddenly emerged from the ground.

It wasn't until a few people passed through the camp unscathed that they realized that something was wrong, were there so many tents?

However, just when several people were in doubt, a knight suddenly rushed out of the oblique thorn, and after discovering the Dio people, he immediately took off the curved bow hanging from the side of the saddle.

At the same time as the knight appeared, Gordon struck, and the scorching flame slashed the knight into two pieces, but he could not stop the knight from firing the whistle arrow.

Bursts of shouts rang out in the distance, and the voices gathered more and more, and soon, Dio and the others saw hundreds of fires lit up on the plain covered by night, converging here from all directions.

The hearts of several people sank suddenly, it turned out that the tent outside the town was just a show, and the bandits had actually been patrolling around the town all the time, which could make the bandits' mobile surname bigger, and more effectively contain the people who escaped from the town.

"What the hell!" Raymond spat hard, "these guys have a lot of tricks. ”

"What are you afraid of?" said Gordon coldly, "Isn't it faster than anyone? ”

Dio had just run more than a hundred meters when six knights rushed in front of them.

"It's Gordon!" the knight who rushed to the front suddenly shouted in terror, but before he could react, Gordon's flame slash burst through the air and sank into his chest.

The rest of the knights, although their faces were full of fear, rushed over without hesitation.

The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and Gordon released two more flame slashes in succession, killing the two knights, and at this time Raymond also struck, his attack was rather strange, he actually took off the shield hanging on the horse's back, and threw it hard.

The heavy metal round shield rotated and drew a strange arc in the air, with a sharp roar, and hit a knight's chest hard, with a muffled sound, the knight's whole person was knocked off the horse's back, and flew far away, at this moment, Dio clearly saw that the knight's chest was quickly deflated like a punctured balloon, I don't know how many bones were broken.

The stranger thing is still to come, the shield after knocking the knight away, it bounced high, as if there was an invisible hand controlling it, and then spun and flew back into Raymond's hand, this is the first time Dio has seen this kind of attack, somewhat similar to the boomerang in the original world, but the power is absolutely incomparable, even an elephant, I'm afraid it can't withstand Raymond's blow.
