027 Road Encounter 2
Anglie's face turned a little pale. Look at them one by one.
Of the five bandit leaders, the lowest is a knight-level mid-stream powerhouse, and the rest are all pinnacle-level. Moreover, there are more than a dozen of their guards, all of whom are knight-level.
In the opposite team, only two of the three knights were at the peak level. No wonder such a strong strength is actually surrounded.
And Anglie noticed that the bandits' way of attacking was very formal, and they seemed to be well-trained. It is obvious that it is not a bandit at all, but the regular army of a certain country pretending to be a bandit to fight the autumn wind.
Anglie already had the expected outcome in mind. Immediately turn back and head back the way you came. Soon returned to the convoy of the baron and others. The baron was also shocked when he heard the situation ahead. Immediately, everyone decided to take a detour, walking sideways from the woods to the Anse grassland. Hopefully, you can dodge the army of bandits in front of you.
"It must be the border army of the Kingdom of Uxus!" said the baron with an ugly face on the way. "Seeing that our Rudin is weak, they seem to be tempted. He actually pretended to be a robber and came in to rob the fleeing nobles. It is likely that the besieged convoy was an official who had escaped from the big city of Rudin. The three knights were at their peak, but they were all surrounded and couldn't get out. ”
Angliel was also in the mood to raise his throat, seven up and eight down. Listen intently to the sounds around you. For fear that the robbers would find out about the convoy and catch up.
He casually glanced at the robbers who seemed to be small soldiers just now, and found that at least three of the ten soldiers were at the level of reserve knights. This is obviously not only here to rob, maybe it is also here to train troops by the way. At the level of a reserve knight, five or six can be equivalent to a knight who is a little worse. Coupled with the force of those bandit leaders, if they were discovered, the convoy would have no hope of escaping.
At this time, he knew that the so-called knight-level belonged to the strong, which was simply a concept that only existed in the countryside like Leo Ling.
In the families of big cities, it is estimated that it is not difficult to train a large number of reserve knights, and it is not uncommon for dozens of hundreds of them to appear.
Outside the bandit formation. The five leaders were looking at the convoy riders in the battle of the trapped beasts with great interest. A bandit with a turban ran from behind and shouted a report.
"Lord Ceylon, my lords, there was a little ghost behind the forest just now, who was hiding for a while, probably a young soldier who came to reconnoitre. ”
"Young soldiers?" said a bald man, laughing, "these little rudin bastards like to play this kind of trick. Caster, are you going or am I going?" he said, turning his head to one of the leaders on his right.
"There you go. Hurry up and don't lose time. If the rendezvous with the Legion Commander is too late and the people of the Rudin royal family run away, you and I can't afford to take this responsibility. The leader said calmly. It gives people a very elegant feeling.
"Huh! Solve it in twenty minutes! What kind of master can there be in such a backward little place. The bald man spat disdainfully. A giant machete that had been pulled out and hung on the side of the horse was raised high.
"Five people, Anker, Hesses, you come with me!"
"Yes! Lord Ceylon. Behind the leader, two knights rode forward. They were all strong men in black and green leather armor. One of them held a broad-edged sword in his hand.
"It's okay anyway, I'll go too. Then another bandit leader suddenly rode out.
Ceylon glanced at the man. "Olisses, you're going against me, aren't you?" he said in a bad tone.
The man who came out had a harmless smile on his face, a metal longbow on his back, and a quiver hanging from the side of the horse. "How so, Lord Ceylon, I admire your bravery and strength. ”
"Hmph!" a look of wariness flashed in Ceylon's eyes. No more talking. With a wave of the hand. "Let's go!!"
The two knights followed him closely. Three healthy horses, with more than a dozen cavalrymen, quickly turned and ran back. Blazing fast.
Olysses caught the horse's belly and quickly followed. "Lord Ceylon, why are you in such a hurry when you have the two of us knights, do you think someone will be able to escape from my Olisses?" his voice was soft and sharp, and it sounded very uncomfortable.
However, no one in Ceylon and the others in front of him paid any attention to him. It's faster.
In the middle of the sparse woods.
A convoy of three black carriages was slowly moving sideways through the woods. The gaps between the trees were wide, and there was no obstacle to the carriage's movement.
In the convoy, there was nothing loud. There was a nervous look on everyone's faces. Even the soldiers on foot next to the carriage looked extremely nervous. The entire convoy was only the occasional squirting of horses.
Next to the driver's seat of the first carriage of the convoy. A half-grown teenager with short brown hair sat quietly in full armor. In his hand he held a black, iron-clad black wooden longbow. At his waist was a silver crosssword, wearing leather armor, and carrying a quiver on his back. The back is also bulging, and I don't know what I'm carrying.
The boy's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was intently watching for any movement around him. The carriage was not fast, but it was already the fastest speed that a horse could move forward.
A short time later, a figure followed from behind, and a small one jumped into the carriage and sat beside the young man. The man had long flaxen hair scattered over his shoulders, a strong build, and a white gauze wrapped around his right eye. It was Baron Kyleio.
"Angle, walk ten minutes ahead, and then turn into the Anser grassland, and then there is no record on the map ahead, we can't wander around here, otherwise it is easy to get lost. The baron said in a low voice.
"Yes, Father. Angel nodded.
He glanced back at the carriage behind him. Looking in from the window of the carriage, the ladies inside all looked nervous. The soldiers on the side were also tense and ready to fight.
At the intersection of forests and grasslands.
Accompanied by the clatter of horses' hooves. A procession of cavalry with gray turbans soon appeared in Angle, where they had turned earlier.
Ceylon rode his horse and glanced at the ground. "Someone came just now, it should be the traces of a carriage. He said in a low voice. "You guys, go around and have a look!" he exclaimed.
"No need. Another knight leader, Olisses, said loudly. Roll over and dismount directly. "I can find their way. ”
Olysses crouched down on the edge of the wheel print and looked at it carefully. "They must have spotted us and wanted to turn sideways around us. Chase there!" he said loudly, pointing in the direction Anglie and the others had left earlier.
"Humph!" Ceylon snorted coldly. "He is a master of tracking. Let's go!" Although he was not convinced, he also had to admit that in this regard, Olisses's ability was beyond his reach.
The cavalry was preparing to leave. Suddenly, the neighing of horses and the rolling of wheels could be heard in the distance. The sound is dense and conspicuous.
Olisses and Ceylon had a twinkle of joy on their faces at the same time. "It's a big convoy, there's big fish, at least a dozen wagons!" said Olisses excitedly.
Ceylon machete. "Hashis, Anker, take a few of your men to block the convoy that ran away! the rest come with me!" he grabbed his horse's belly and rushed out.
Not to be outdone, Olysses was not to be outdone. "Do you want to take the credit for it?" he laughed darkly, and followed closely.
Anker and Hayses watched as the two adults quickly left, taking most of the centaurs with them, leaving only four cavalrymen behind. are a little helpless.
"Let's go. We're going to stop that convoy. Hysaith shook his head. "Hopefully the team isn't very strong. ”
"What are you afraid of, the brothers all carry good things. Anker laughed. He took out a brown crossbow from his back and shook it.
The rest of the cavalry laughed lightly, and each took out a crossbow from his horse's baggage. "As long as we put away the arrows afterwards, no one will know it's us. Anker said casually.
"That way, it's all right. Hashis nodded. "Let's go. ”
A detachment of cavalry quickly pursued into the woods.
Anglie sat in front of the carriage, his face suddenly changing slightly. The sound of chip zero sounded in my ears. "The sound of horses' hooves was detected in the rear, and the number of six cavalry was rapidly approaching. ”
"Sure enough, it was discovered. His face sank. Jump out of the carriage. Shouted. "Keep going!
The guards at the side of the convoy were getting nervous, but the good discipline kept everyone strictly following orders. Keep moving. No one spoke.
When the baron saw his son jump out of the car, he realized that something might be wrong. "What's wrong, Angle. ”
"Father, someone is catching up from behind. I'll stay and delay them a bit. Go on your way. Angliel said lightly.
The baron also jumped out of the car, and was replaced by another man. He walked straight to Angle. "I'll stay, you go up!"
"It's fine. I'm just going to put a few cold arrows from afar, and I'll be able to catch up in no time. Angliel smiled. "Father, go up first, I won't clash with them head-on. I'm a person with small goals, and it's easy to get out. ”
The baron looked at him fixedly, and he also knew that in this kind of woods, Angle, who had good archery skills, would have a great advantage, as long as he hid well, it would be no problem.
"I'm staying with you. He said in a deep voice.
Angli said helplessly: "All the property of our family is in the carriage, father, you better follow." I'm fine. Catch up right away. ”
The baron frowned, and watched his son for a while, until the carriage in front of him was getting farther and farther away, and the sound of horses' hooves behind was getting closer and closer, and he nodded. "Fifteen minutes, if you haven't caught up, I'll come back to you. ”
"Good!" Angliel nodded.
Although the baron already knew his son's strength, after all, he was facing an unknown enemy, and he was still very uneasy in his heart.
Anglie stood still, watching the baron's figure quickly catch up with the convoy in front of him. Only then did he turn around.
Look at the figure of the cavalry looming in the forest. Anglie drew a white-feathered arrow and placed it on his longbow. Squeak. The bowstring was strained violently. The black metal arrows reflect a faint blue-purple color in the sunlight.
