Chapter 16: Attacked
"Boss, the target has left Geer City and will soon arrive in the territory of the Divine Dragon Empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Good. Brothers!" Everyone in the camp who were having fun stopped when they heard the voice, "The goal is about to arrive, and we can rest for a while after this ticket!"
Several women in the field who were being played with by everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the next second fear filled their eyes. As the sword flashed, their unwilling heads rolled to the ground, and blood sprayed wantonly, causing the bandits to laugh unbridledly.
......
After leaving Geer City, he officially entered the territory of the Shenlong Empire after a short time, although this is still the range of the Grans Plain, but Alan feels that it is obviously more appropriate to call the Grans Plain in the territory of the Shenlong Kingdom the Granth Grassland.
Because the Frost Tooth Ridge in the east blocked the humid air blowing from the Red Sea in the west, it created this grassland with abundant water and grass in the Shenlong Empire, and it was also the largest grazing area in the entire Holy Spirit Continent.
Just as Alan used his geographical knowledge in his previous life to explain to Elaine that this grassland was not a gift from God, but made by nature, and the little nun was stunned when he listened, Lehman interrupted Eren again.
"Allen," although he was pretending to be Lehman's younger brother, Allen, who couldn't stand Lehman calling his brother, asked Lehman to call him by his name directly, "There is the famous Brother Ridge in front, do you want to come out and have a look?"
"Brother Ridge!"
Allen has always been interested in this famous place, Brother Ridge has an extraordinary origin, but it is not a naturally formed mountain. According to the papal texts, the first war of gods and demons took place at the end of the Age of the Gods, where the famous warriors of the Throne of God, the Ares brothers, were killed, but their strong will was not willing to be defeated, and finally turned into mountains to suppress the enemy. Not to mention the credibility of this legend, but in the second war of gods and demons, that is, the battle of the firmament, the Brothers Ridge is an important pass for human defense, for which the coalition forces built a majestic military fortress on the ridge, although with the passage of time, the change of the continental pattern, this fortress has long been abandoned, but the remnants of the ruins still make people imagine its majesty back then.
Alan got out of the carriage, sat down next to Lehman, and looked ahead, as the name suggests, Brother Ridge is composed of two parallel mountains, the two mountains extend to the east and west respectively, leaving only one road in the middle, if you don't go from here, you can only spend a long time detouring or climbing over the mountains, obviously Princess Yulong's convoy will not do such a thankless task.
"Sure enough, it's a dangerous place, if you ambush here, you will be able to reap miraculous results. Seeing that Yulong's convoy had begun to enter, Alan couldn't help but express his military opinion to Lehman.
"Can you not say such unlucky words, just in case?"
"There's an ambush!" there was a loud roar ahead, and then a rain of arrows flew out of the ridge.
"Your Highness, you are truly a crow's mouth. ”
......
Viscount Moody could never have imagined that what he thought was a fairly simple mission would be so full of twists and turns, first he failed to see the Pope in the Holy City, and last night he was bullied again in the city of Geer, and when he saw that he had returned to his own territory, he was actually ambushed! Viscount Moody, who had never been on the battlefield, had seen such a formation, and in the rain of arrows just now, an arrow that almost hit his body had already made him panic, and now seeing the horse thief rushing down from the mountain made Viscount Moody's soul scatter, he screamed, and rode forward and galloped away.
The princess's guards were really dumbfounded, and Ling'er, who had just come out of the carriage to investigate the situation, also witnessed this scene, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Princess, Viscount Moody has run away!"
Fortunately, these knights are all imperial elites, and although they have lost their commanders, they also surround Princess Yulong's carriage under the leadership of the captain and fight with the horse thieves who rushed to kill.
"Your Royal Highness, get back into the car. Seeing that Princess Yulong, who had come out of the carriage at some point, was standing on the wheel, a knight couldn't help but shout worriedly.
However, the horse thieves who heard this also saw Yulong, and they suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the carriage one by one with red eyes.
On the mountain, a fierce-looking man rode a horse with pure black hair, watching the battle situation down the mountain, and there were four or five hundred horse thieves around him. After seeing the situation in Princess Yulong's carriage, he grinned:
"These little bunnies, don't do anything serious. ”
"Who told the boss to say that if you catch this Yulong princess, let everyone deal with it. One of the people on the side said with a grin.
"Hey, my mind is full of women, I don't want the 50,000 gold coins, hurry up, get down to business. ”
Thor was leading the Templars in a battle against the enemy, unlike the princess's side, the number of horse thieves besieging here was almost three times as large as on the other side, with a thousand horses, while the Templars were only five hundred, but the Templars were well prepared, so they would be able to hold out for a while.
Thor split the enemy in front of him in half with a single sword, ignoring the blood splashed on his face, and set his sights on the next one. The horse thief was frightened by this crazy man, and no one wanted to fight him, and for a moment the enemies retreated, much to the relief of the Templars.
Princess Yulong, who was standing on the wheel, gradually understood that the main target of the enemy was still the Holy See's ranks, and if the Holy See's one died here, the relationship between the Empire and the Holy See would inevitably deteriorate further. Thinking of this, Yulong hurriedly ordered: "Rush over and join the Holy See team." ”
Due to the disagreement along the way, the two armies were separated by a distance, and now, the vacated space is occupied by the enemy, completely dividing the two armies. Looking at the dense horse thieves in the middle, the knights couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts, but Her Royal Highness the princess had already given the order, and they had no choice but to turn around and kill backwards.
At this time, Allen and his party were fleeing in embarrassment, Alan was going to watch the play, but he didn't expect two or three horse thieves who were not long-eyed to rush towards him, and between Lehman's knife and fall, these horse thieves turned into corpses, and then more than a dozen horse thieves began to chase and kill this small carriage.
"Your Highness, if you continue like this, you will be caught up sooner or later. Lehman looked at the group of horse thieves who were getting closer and closer to the carriage, and his heart was a little nervous.
"I know, but you have to run farther, otherwise this wave will come and there will be a bigger wave, isn't that looking for death. Alan looked at the horse thief who had caught up, and secretly estimated the distance in his heart.
Brothers' Ridge grew smaller and smaller behind him, and the group of horse thieves quickly approached the carriage, Lehman pulling the reins in his left hand and reaching for the saber at his waist with his right hand.
"Drive well. Eren fended off Lehman's right hand and pulled his sword out of its scabbard.
Seeing that Alan had taken away his own sword, Lehman said with some suspicion: "Your Highness, you can't do it." ”
"How can a man say no!" Alan replied angrily, and by this time the leading horse thief had already chased to the side of the carriage, and he drew his scimitar at his waist and was about to slash at the two men on the wheel. Eren took a deep breath and threw the sword in his hand at the horse thief.
Seeing this, Lehman sighed in his heart, it seemed that this was going to be completely finished, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
The horse thief also laughed when he saw Allen throwing the sword at him, and he swung his sword to block it, ready to kill the two young men after the sword flew away to avenge the death of his brother, but the horse thief did not expect that the long sword in the air would actually turn!
At the moment when the scimitar and the long sword were about to make contact, the long sword in the air seemed to be gently flicked by an invisible hand, and the scimitar in the hand of the horse thief pierced straight into his neck.
Immediately after, the long sword flew out of the thief's neck and stabbed at the thief on the other side of the carriage with a little bit of blood.
"Don't drive with your eyes closed!" Allen's roar rang in Lehman's ears, and he opened his eyes in confusion to see the horse thief who was about to cut people slipping off his horse, and a sword flying in the air, well, yes, flying.
"Hell!" Lehman waved his whip, and the aching horses galloped, and the horse thieves were obviously frightened by this scene, and one by one they stopped in place and did not dare to chase them any more.
The sudden acceleration caught Alan off guard, and he almost failed to control the long sword, after all, Alan could only control objects within 3 meters. Hurriedly put the sword back in his hand, but Lehman grabbed the long sword and wanted to throw it away.
"What are you doing!" Alan hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Highness, this sword is definitely not normal, we can't purify it now, so let's throw it away. Lehman remembered a bunch of stories about ghosts, and he couldn't help but feel creepy.
"What's not normal, I controlled it with magic just now. ”
"Your Highness, how are you, what happened?" Elaine's voice came from the car, she had thought about it at the beginning of the ambush, but she was pushed into the carriage by Allen, and the carriage door was blocked, so it was not clear what was going on outside.
"I'm fine, we're safe. Alan looked back, but the group of horse thieves did not catch up, and Lehman was relieved and slowly stopped the carriage.
"Your Highness, you didn't lie to me, this sword is really your ......" Alan saw that Lehman was still suspicious, his heart moved, the long sword flew in the air, the sword body trembled slightly, and then inserted it back into the scabbard on Lehman's waist with a "bang".
Elaine, who had just come out of the carriage, also saw this scene and let out a low cry of surprise. According to the practice of the Holy See, the two who knew that this was the result of Allen's magic did not ask questions, but let Allen lose a chance to show off, and they were a little disappointed. But he soon forgot about this disappointment, because the three of them were in great trouble.
"Lehman, which direction did you run in that way" Alan took the map of the continent produced by the Holy See, and looked at it for a long time but did not find the location of a few people.
"Your Highness, you are running for your life, who knows which direction. Lehman and Alan leaned together, staring at the very detailed map, trying to figure out where they had run for their lives.
Allen, who realized that he really did not have this talent, looked at Elaine with hope.
"Your Highness, you have been keeping me in the carriage, how do I know where we are going? Elaine was both pleased and resentful of Allen's actions to protect her, but she also knew that now was not the time to play tricks, so she complained a little, and then thought of a way with the two of them.
