Tom had been a mercenary for seven or eight years, and he had a lot of combat experience, so he didn't panic when he was suddenly attacked, but just raised his shield in front of him, and then called his guards to form a shield wall with him, and kept everyone behind the shield and armor as much as possible.

In addition, the night was getting darker, and it was not easy for the archers in the forest to aim again, although from time to time arrows flew past everyone's ears, or landed on the shields with a clanging sound, but there were no casualties except for making the atmosphere a little tense.

And the villagers who caught up from behind were also put down by the guards in charge of several black dog guards behind the palace.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer pursuers behind them, and the cold arrows shot from the forest were also thinning, many people were secretly relieved, and before they knew it, they had retreated for almost two miles while fighting.

This far further will lead to another village, which must have some Arias defenders in the village, if memory serves.

Just when everyone thought they were about to get out of danger, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the woods.

Tom's face changed suddenly, "It's cavalry!" ”

When he spit out these words, the hairs on his body also stood on end!

No one knew better than him what it meant to encounter cavalry here, and it was no wonder that they had shot their horses outside the village before.

Especially on this part of the road, the trees happened to be less dense, and the cavalry rushed up at speed, and with no long weapons at hand, they could hardly resist the onslaught of the opposite side, and worse, there was nowhere to escape.

The last time they encountered such a dangerous situation was when they were facing that black dragon, but at that time, they had made a lot of arrangements in advance, and they also had a special dragon slaying holy weapon in hand, and they were not as passive as they were tonight.

Just when Tom was a little impetuous, a palm pressed on his shoulder, and Li Yu's voice sounded in his ear, "How many people?" ”

"I don't know, but it sounds like there should be at least a dozen rides."

"How many people can you deal with?"

"It depends on the other party's equipment and skills, if it is those cavalry cultivated by ordinary noble families, it will probably be six or seven horses." Tom said with a mental estimate.

"Then I'll try to lure some people away for you." Li Yu said.

Tom thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and at this time, it was not usually them who were supposed to be the guards to help Li Yu lead away the pursuers.

As if seeing through the thoughts in his heart, Li Yu added, "There is a high probability that you won't be able to attract many people." ”

“…………”

"Then let us protect you!" The captain of the guard said earnestly.

Li Yu shook his head, "They should all be masters privately recruited or trained by the Silver Moon Church, specializing in dirty work that is not seen, so many people you can't beat, they all get together and die together, okay, don't fight, just do as I say, don't worry, as long as you can survive tonight, you will definitely see me again." ”

Li Yu said as he handed over some bits and pieces in his pocket to Tom, so as not to explode when he died later, and at the same time advised, "Keep these things and bring them back to the Order, and I will come to you next time when I come back." ”

At this moment when the two were talking, those cavalry also appeared from the woods, a total of sixteen horsemen, all wearing black armor, and the war horses under their crotches were also tall and powerful, and they were the elite of the elite at a glance.

However, their armor was not engraved with any identifiable coat of arms, which was quite rare, as the average warrior was proud of his legion.

Especially for those legions with a long history and great achievements, the soldiers below are eager to paint their coats of arms all over their bodies, for fear that others will not know their origins.

But the sixteen horsemen in front of them were perfectly integrated with the night around them, like sixteen ghosts, and no one knew where they came from or where they were going.

Even if ordinary people pass by them, they will probably only think that it is a nightmare for themselves.

Tom also wanted to persuade Li Yu to change his mind, but the latter had already left the team at this time, and what made Tom even more angry was that the two lizardman warriors who were originally guarding Li Yu's side also gave Li Yu a way, and they had no intention of blocking it. Damn, is there anyone who does this?

Soon Li Yu's figure fell into the night.

Tom saw Li Yu running eastward, where there was a small slope with a winding stream below.

And those black-armored cavalrymen also noticed the abnormal movement on their side at this time, although their vision at night was affected to a certain extent, but the black suit and black trousers on Li Yu's body were very special.

As long as you know something about him in Green Field, you can basically recognize him at a glance.

Because the cavalry was wearing a helmet, Tom couldn't see his expression, but he could still guess the joy in the other party's heart at this time from the other party's demeanor and movements.

And after that, the man divided half of his men and rushed down the small slope where Li Yu was, while the remaining eight horsemen continued to come towards Tom and the others.

Probably in his eyes, leaving these eight horsemen by himself was enough to solve Tom and the others.

Seeing this, Tom also felt a wave of anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Give them some color and see." ”

When the lizardmen heard this, they all drew their crossbows behind their backs, opened the laser sights on them, and in an instant, thirteen small red dots appeared on the bodies of the eight black-armored knights.

Before the two sides started fighting, Tom glanced in the direction where Li Yu was, and it was this glance that made him can't help but open his mouth wide.

At this time, Li Yu had already come to the stream, and Tom saw Li Yu take off the two leather shoes and socks on his feet, and then he stepped directly into the stream without stopping.

But the next moment, a miracle happened!

Li Yu's foot did not step into the water, but suspended on the water, and his whole person's speed did not decrease, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.

This scene even shocked the pursuers behind him, and some people involuntarily exclaimed, "Oh my God, how did he do it?!" What kind of trick is running on water without sinking? ”

"No matter what kind of trick it is, since we have run into it, we must not be run away by him, hurry up and chase me!" The leader was also deeply shocked by this incredible scene, but soon a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to urge.

The remaining seven cavalrymen also woke up like a dream at this time, and urged the war horses under them again.

The horses' hooves splashed into the stream, but fortunately, the depth of the stream was only just below the horses' legs, and they were still able to wade across the river, but the speed was slowed down a lot.

Not as chic as Li Yu seems.
