Chapter 121: Luring the Enemy
The man and horse collided, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes saw the truth, Xia Zuo appeared in front of the galloping war horse like a flash, and without dodging, he hit the steel plate armor that had been specially thickened on the chest of the war horse.
With a dull crashing sound, the thickened steel plate began to twist and deform, and then the distance that could not be squeezed turned into pieces of debris splashed everywhere in the crisp sound of clicking.
"Yo" The galloping war horse was pushed by a punch and neighed in pain, the sturdy body fell backwards and stood up, and the knight on horseback suddenly saddled the horse unsteadily, and fell backwards with his back to the sky.
The dazzling sunlight above his head suddenly dimmed, and a black figure carrying the sunlight rushed forward, and the panicked knight who hurriedly raised his shield to resist only heard a series of crisp sounds, and then his head was unconscious in pain.
"Damn it, bastard!" The knight behind saw Xia Zuo's figure flash, and then his companion fell down with the war horse, looking at Xia Zuo, who ripped off the piercing shield on his arm and took out his fist from his companion's bloody head, roared angrily and sped up.
Xia Zuo picked up the war horse that was still struggling on the ground, grabbed the strong retreat and threw it towards the knights behind, the neighing huge figure came across the air, blocking the sun, and the two knights who dodged and dodged could flash the black shadow in the air, and saw Xia Zuo's angry smile appear in front of him, and the crisp sound of his neck hurt and couldn't follow in the footsteps of his companions.
The three struggling horses suddenly made the formation of the last two knights charge into chaos, and they had no choice but to pull the horses to stop, quickly turned over and dismounted, threw away the knight's spear in their hands, and pulled out the war sword at their waists.
Both of these are experienced fighters, and they are the second time they have fought Xia Zuo. While charging, they are always ready to sit and counterattack, with their backs facing each other and relying on each other.
The body brought up several afterimages, and Xia Zuo, who was divided into two, quickly rushed in front of the two high-level fighters, and attacked the two high-level fighters in different directions at the same time like a ghost, and the three of them each had a shining fighting spirit, like a raging flame.
The shadow of the sword is like rain, the fists and feet are like the wind, the gravel and snowflakes are splashing, and the momentum of the collision rolls up layers of wind and scatters everywhere. Under the luster of vindictiveness, the movements of the three of them are fast and terrifying. In just a few breaths, there were no less than a hundred double-reverse staggered attacks, and the continuous dense air explosions were continuous, which made the people who heard it feel stuffy and dizzy, and wanted to spurt blood.
"Click" The crisp and terrifying sound of bone cracking sounded in everyone's ears. Xia Zuo, who was slashed by the knight on the left side, slowly dissipated. And Xia Zuo hit a solid uppercut. Slammed into the knight's cheek, the powerful fist pierced the helmet, and fell into the knight's already distorted and indiscernible head like a hammer into dough.
Almost at the same time. Xia Zuo struck back and forth with a swift kick, although the other knight could resist it, but in the hasty response, the sword in his hand was shocked by Xia Zuo's terrifying leg and flew out, the dragged sword handle rubbed rapidly in the palm, the convulsive hands were blurred with flesh and blood, and the sturdy body was even more tumbling and flying out.
The knight struggled to get up from the ground, reaching out to remove the repeater from his waist, and the figure of Xia Zuo suddenly appeared in front of him, and the body carrying the sun looked extremely tall and irresistible in an instant, and the cold blade of the sword was clearly felt on his neck.
"I surrender, I am willing to pay the ransom!" the knight's body trembled violently, although he was wearing strong and delicate armor, but it could not provide him with the slightest sense of security, but his words did not have much trepidation, as a noble knight, according to the creed that the knight observed, the defeated side had the right to buy his life with gold coins.
"I'm sorry! I don't accept it!" Xia Zuo drew a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth, and kicked away the repeater that had been touched by the knight, and the sharp blade slowly pushed in and out of his neck.
"Ah" The fear of death and the torment of watching his own blood flow down the blade of his sword made the noble knight howl in horror.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force looked at this duel in horror that did not meet the rules of knighthood, Xia Zuo's terrifying combat effectiveness and cruel methods made every soldier's neck chill, it was two high-level warriors and three half-footed middle-level peak knights, the strong men in these armies that they looked up to, in front of Xia Zuo, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of a hungry wolf.
This is not a level of combat at all! This is a little orc, a demon at all!
Looking at Xia Zuo, who was splashed with blood and had a smile of enjoyment on his face stained with splashed blood, the soldiers of the expeditionary force who were standing in a daze all had a thought in their heads at the same time.
"You're all blind! Why don't you go up and save people!" was being slowly slaughtered by Xia Zuo was the knight who belonged directly to Meglor, who woke up from the shock, and screamed loudly and angrily scolded the stunned knights.
As for the sacred rules of knight dueling? Damn the bullshit rules, all of them! Anyway, this duel has violated the knight's rules from the beginning.
A group of knights who had been awakened came to their senses, fiercely kicked the horses under their crotches with their spurs, and galloped forward to save their companions from the demons.
Xia Zuo raised his head and glanced at them silently, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, the sword in his hand rose and fell, the screams stopped abruptly, and a bloody human head full of fear was thrown and spun by Xia Zuo and flew into the sky, flying for several breaths before the human head fell from the sky.
The bloodied head still maintained its frightened expression, dripping and rolling on the ground, stained with dirty dirt.
Hooking his fingers mockingly, Xia Zuo's figure jumped up the hill in a flash, and in a few breaths, the figure was already blurred in front of the knights' eyes.
Provocation!
Xia Zuo's provocative behavior in front of them and the insult to the knight's body were simply trampling on their dignity under their feet.
The more than twenty knights, who were completely enraged by Xia Zuo's actions, led a hundred pairs of cavalry subordinate to him, and chased after them like angry bulls, and the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and soon their figures disappeared behind the hills like Xia Zuo's back.
"Not good, Lord Meglor, call them back!" Kane, who was in a trance, suddenly exclaimed as he watched the knights' disappearing backs, and he hurried to Meglor's side, "Don't chase anymore, those orcs may have tricks!"
Although he dislikes nobles very much, especially nobles like Meglor, as an emperor, he must not watch his companions die.
"What are you talking nonsense? Captain Kane, have you been scared mad by that damn little monkey?" an enraged Meglor shouted as he pointed to several corpses on the hillside, "Do you want me to look at that damn monkey and swagger away after killing my man in front of me again?"
Instead of mourning or being angry at the deaths of several of his men, he was angry at the humiliation of the noble him by Nazzo's actions, and again and again.
"Don't you think that little orc is weird, there must be some conspiracy, just like yesterday's!" Kane struggled to convince Meglor with his unskilled eloquence.
But Kane, who is obviously not good at eloquence, is counterproductive, and mentioning this matter again undoubtedly touches the sore spot in Meglor's heart, and the earl, who feels humiliated, angrily shouts, "Conspiracy? Can only the clever captain Kane see it? Whose men were guarding that damn bridge the night before!"
Kane's face turned blue when he was told about it, and the collapse of the Oak Bridge was finally blamed on the lax guards, who were in charge of the guards at the time.
In other words, the previous attack that cost the expeditionary force more than a thousand people was a dereliction of duty on the part of the city guards who held their posts, and every time this matter was mentioned in the past two days, Kane's face would become like this.
With a cold face, he rode back to his home, and the emaciated squadron leader stepped forward to change the topic with interest, so as to divert Kane's unhappiness, "Captain, do you think those knights can catch up?"
"Chase, I'm sure I can catch up!" Kane sneered as he looked at the mangled corpse that was being brought down from the hillside, "But whether he can come back alive or not is another matter!"
"Can't come back?" the squadron leader asked in disbelief, his eyes widening roundly, "That's more than 20 knights, and more than 100 cavalry, even if you encounter orc troops, you should be able to rush out easily!"
Although these twenty or so knights are only titles given by those noble lords themselves, not those powerful fighters directly appointed by the empire, as people with knightly titles, their strength is beyond doubt.
"The attack we encountered this time is not at all like the previous fighting style of the orcs, and what we are facing now is no longer a simple-minded and straightforward orc, but a cunning and calm hunter!" Kane looked at the place where Xia Zuo had stood and sneered, "Such an opponent will definitely not do the reckless thing just now with a hot head!"
"There are so many of us now, and the rest of the road is also a smooth road, crushing all the way, no matter how smart the orcs are, they are not our opponents at all!" said the squadron leader in a deep voice, as a veteran, what he proposed was indeed the safest way, relying on the superiority of troops, ignoring harassment, and crushing all the way to the orc tribe.
"Alas!!" Kane sighed softly, he knew it was the best thing to do, but now neither Sidwar nor the proud nobles who were eager to prove themselves would watch the orcs continue to harass them.
With a leisurely sigh, Kane Xinxia also began to think about how to save the lives of himself and more than 500 of his subordinates in the later battle. (To be continued......)
