Chapter 8: Tempting the Enemy
Ryan listened to Alendo's words and was very inspired, and he thought to himself, "Didn't I study with Mr. Galib and Mr. Drane so that one day I could change my life? Isn't it because I have magic and martial arts that I can get out of my hometown and change my life? He was not strong enough to come out and take risks, so he adapted to life in his hometown, and I didn't want to continue the life that has not changed for thousands of years, so I came out to find my own way, and I believe that I will definitely go out of my own way!"
Thinking of this, all the doubts in Ryan's heart disappeared, and he secretly swore to himself that he would be strong in case of trouble, he had already shown weakness twice in front of Flanner and Allendo, and there would never be a third time!
Seeing his friend's relaxed face, Alendor was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. Ryan has this friend of his own, but it will be fine for a while, but what about himself?
"It's good to have friends. Alendor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ryan let go of his worries, and his mind became very flexible, and he said to Allendo, "Can we still do this task?"
"Of course it does," Allendo said. I don't think it's going to be that simple, that Philip isn't going to find a bunch of thieves to steal what belongs to him, what must be a plan in between? a plan that we don't know. ”
Ryan nodded and said, "Let's go back." Azimu is dead, and this matter will not be hidden for long, and I guess the mystery will be known tomorrow. ”
The two discussed it for a while, and decided to return to Giethoorn immediately and spy on Philip outside the town.
Elendor let out a wolf howl, and after a while, the three wind wolves ran back. It turns out that Allendo has been keeping the Wind Wolf on the lookout near the thieves' camp.
The two of them traveled overnight, and by the time they saw Giethoorn, the sun had already risen.
Ryan and Alendor chose a lush bush to hide in, and the three wind wolves also lay quietly aside.
Because Alendor hadn't rested for two days, Ryan decided to spy on himself first, so that Alendor could hurry up and sleep.
Alendor had fallen asleep for less than a moment when the sound of huge horses' hooves was heard, and the leader of the thieves galloped towards Giethoorn with thirty thieves on horseback.
Outside Giethoorn, the leader of the thieves waved his hand, and the thirty thieves behind him grabbed the reins of the horse, and the front hooves of the horses under him volleyed into the air, let out a long neigh, and stopped neatly.
Ryan admired the thief's hand, and he knew that this level of uniformity could not be achieved without a long period of training. It's a pity that Ryan and Allendo don't understand military affairs, if a veteran general sees all this, he must be very surprised, this group of thieves camping, sentry, riding horses, and formation are all very professionally trained, generally speaking, only in the army will carry out such training. From their expressions and every move, it can be seen that they are stained with blood, which is by no means something that ordinary thieves can do.
To Ryan's surprise, the thieves did not attack Giethoorn directly, but rode on their horses, silently waiting for something.
Ryan was puzzled by the thief's behavior, and he had to whisper to Alendor, who had just woken up.
Soon, the mystery was revealed.
A black eagle descended from the sky and landed accurately on the shoulder of the burly man to the left of the leader of the thieves. This burly man was the man whom the leader of the thieves called "Left Hand".
The "left hand" took a piece of wood from the iron pipe of the eagle's leg, looked at it carefully, and then rode up to the leader of the thieves and whispered a few words.
The leader of the thieves let out a triumphant laugh and pointed his hand at Sheep's Horn.
Seeing the leader give the order to attack, the thieves neatly drew their long swords and let out a shout of "Hehe", and a murderous aura spread out.
The town was unexpectedly quiet, no one was moving, no one was crying, and if it weren't for the fact that the gate was slowly opened by Mayor Philip, it seemed to be just an empty town.
The gates of Giethoorn were opened, but the thieves did not rush in immediately, but controlled the horses to circle in place.
After a while, another group of thieves was pursued by a group of knights, and they galloped from afar.
The thieves, who were being pursued by the knights, were dressed in rags, and even had blood stains on their bodies, and the horses under them looked very tired.
Behind them was a large group of knights wearing golden yellow heavy armor, each knight had a very obvious golden lion logo on his chest, and under the seat of all the knights was a pure white war horse, each of which was draped in golden chain mail.
When the leader of the thieves saw the knight chasing his companions, his face showed the joy of victory, and he led the thirty thieves around him to slowly meet the last time, and took the pursued thieves.
Seeing that the thieves still had reinforcements, the knights led by them raised their spears high, and the sound of horses neighing was immediately heard in the entire knight team, and the horses under the knights raised their front hooves high, and the whole team of more than sixty people stopped neatly at a stone's throw away from the thieves.
The knight at the head had blonde hair, and he was probably about thirty years old. He saw the leader of the thieves, and a smile of joy suddenly appeared on his slightly tired face. He said loudly, "Senat, you traitor, I finally caught you today." ”
The leader of the thieves, Senat, gently removed his mask, revealing a handsome face, he laughed, and said, "Captain Bacon, you have been following me so closely for half a month, but your subordinates seem to be a little less. ”
Bacon the chief knight had an angry look on his face, he took a deep breath, and lived word by word: "Senat, where they died." Today, I will avenge them!"
Senat, the leader of the thieves, said, "Bacon, is it up to you?"
Bacon, the leader of the knights, said firmly: "Good will triumph over evil, and the light of the god of war will bless us!"
"I'm not interested in God of War, I prefer underage girls," Senat said. Bacon, I'm going to cool now, would you like to come along?"
With that, Senat rode into Giethoorn, and dozens of thieves followed suit.
Bacon shouted angrily: "Senat, your opponent is me, don't hurt innocent civilians." As soon as he pulled the reins of his horse, he prepared to charge into Giethoorn.
The knight beside Bacon reminded: "Captain, we have been in pursuit for 2 days in a row, and the consumption of men and horses is very great. And the space in it is cramped, I'm afraid it's a trap for Senat. ”
Bacon said firmly: "It is our duty to protect the weak." No matter what traps lie ahead, we will eventually be protected by the god of war!"
After saying this, Bacon raised the war gun in his hand and shouted: "God of War protection!"
A pure white light emanated from Bacon's spear held high in the air, enveloping his entire body.
All the knights also raised their spears and shouted with Bacon: "God of War protection!"
White light permeated the knights, and suddenly, each knight's chest was filled with indomitable pride, their tired bodies seemed to have regained their energy, their slightly haggard faces became resolute, and their eyes shot a feverish light.
Bacon put down the war spear in his hand and led more than 60 holy knights to rush into Giethoorn.
However, Bacon immediately saw that this was a trap, and that the town was littered with bundles of dead sheep and hay for the herdsmen's fires, as well as many wooden stakes, and even a number of traps mixed in with them, an obstacle that prevented the most threatening charge of the Holy Knights from being of maximum use.
After all the Holy Knights entered Giethoorn, the large wooden door behind them was slowly closed by the thieves.
Bacon immediately made a decision and shouted, "Dismount." Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
More than 60 knights immediately jumped off their horses, plunged their spears into the ground, and then drew their swords with their right hands and removed a shield from their backs with their left hands.
Senat stood relaxed in the clearing in the middle of the town, surrounded by dozens of thieves with spears in hand. Seeing that Bacon could respond so quickly, Senat was also secretly amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Captain Bacon, in today's situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out." Why don't you join my army? ”
Bacon shouted, "Don't think about it, Senat." Today we of the Golden Knights will fight to the last man. The Orlando adults will avenge us. If you want the life of the golden lion, you can exchange it for 10 times the human life. ”
Senat shook his head, disappointed by Bacon's words. He reached out and made a cutting motion in front of his neck. The surrounding thieves received the order to attack and immediately rushed towards the Holy Knight.
Seeing that the Holy Knight, who had been chasing him for many days, was finally surrounded by himself in Giethoorn, Senat couldn't help but feel very proud, he gathered more than 300 people this time, almost all the strength he hid in the South Talon grassland, just for this defeat into victory.
He wants to let the world know that even if he loses to the Golden Lion King Orlando, he can pull back a game in a short period of time. What's more, he Senat is about to become the first person on the Eslar Continent in two hundred years to form a formation to destroy the Golden Knights!
