CHAPTER XXIX

"How far is it from South Rissyphus?"

"According to the distance of human beings, there should be about nineteen miles."

"Li? A mile? A mile or a kilometer? The difference in units is not half a star. ”

Shao Wei, who couldn't speak on the other end of the phone, sighed, "Then how long will it take for you to catch up with those people?" ”

"We found their uncovered horseshoe prints not long ago, but they can't be seen on the hard ground here." Broccoli kicked the big hamster on the ground and sniffed the big hamster, "Find out which way they are going, Lord Shi Junjun is still waiting for our rescue!" ”

More than thirty goblins stood guard around the forest intersection, the only greenskinned dwarfs left in the village who were not injured after the attack.

After accidentally going in the wrong direction during the night, they had prepared for the worst scenario in which the attackers had retreated to South Rissyphus, but as far as the latest discoveries appeared, the men seemed to have made a great circle in the forest, and they were not far ahead of them until this junction.

If that's the case, the goblins have a chance to catch up with these attackers before they get out of the forest.

"Tuk, are we really going to fight those humans again?" A goblin next to him, carrying a stone spear taller than himself, asked timidly.

From the green-skinned dwarf's slightly raised chest and the facial features that are much more delicate than broccoli, it is not difficult to tell that this is a woman.

"Those humans who had a holiday with us have kidnapped Lord Shi Junjun." The broccoli head said without replying:

"The adults have helped us so much, there is only one person alive in our village, we must repay her!"

"Find out which way it is!"

The hamster, hastily taken out of its cage, confirmed the direction of the departure of the South Lysyphus Lords' Guard, with Broccoli taking the lead, and then the goblins following him.

Reinhardt, the captain of the guard at the front of the team, closed his eyes and suddenly lifted the reins slightly, and the mount that had accompanied him for four years under his crotch immediately stopped trotting, and the unknown guards behind him did the same after a brief hesitation.

After a few breaths, the chief guard slowly opened his eyes and said with a cold expression:

"We're being targeted by something."

The guards exchanged glances with their companions in surprise, now they were only about half a day's journey away from South Richsyphus, and they were almost at the edge of the forest, how could there be monsters in the forest staring at this team.

"Don't worry, it's not a very strong monster." Having said that, the face of the chief guard was still not very good-looking: "But there are quite a few of them, and they are coming quickly." ”

"If we speed up our horses, will we be able to run out of the forest before they catch up with us?" The middle-aged guard asked a few steps forward.

"It should be possible, but if they chase after them, they will enter the villages that we must pass through to return to South Risifus."

The captain of the guard drew his matching sword, and the blade was so bright that it did not dull the head of that fool from Pilgon.

"It turns out that adults have such considerations."

The middle-aged guard nodded, also pulled out his matching sword, and led the horse to turn around and stand side with the chief guard, "Although I really want to leave...... But there was my family in that village. ”

"My sister married into that village." The young guard, who had been stunned before, also silently led the horse to their side, "I heard that I will have a beautiful little niece this year." ”

"My good friend is in that village."

"My uncle works in the blacksmith shop in that village......"

The guards, who were born in the South Richsyphus, soon found a reason for their stay, and they all gathered around the chief guard with their horses, waiting for the latter's orders.

"Although it shouldn't be a very powerful monster, there are more enemies than us, and it is not advisable to take the initiative to meet them."

The chief of the guard lowered his voice and quickly gave an order: "Vane, you are the most seriously wounded, hide our horses in a hidden place in front, just in case, you go to the nearest village of the kingdom garrison, report my name, ask their commander for assistance, Crosso, Fernando, you bring bows and arrows, and climb to the trees......"

Captain Reinhardt, who had set up his tactics, watched the backs of his companions as they hurriedly departed, and at the same time realized a brutal truth.

That is, in the near future, these companions who are now fighting side by side with him will inevitably stand on the opposite side of him and fight for his life.

The team, including him, left aside the stupid death of Pyrgon and the departing Vane to report the news, only seven people were left to fight against the unscrupulous pursuers.

Six and a half to be exact, as he also divided a large part of his attention into staring at the captured girl next to him.

Shi Junjun, who didn't understand what the situation was now, was escorted from the horse to the head of the guard with a confused expression, and she didn't react until she saw the guards who were hiding in ambush around her.

What is this group hunting and killing?

Could it be that broccoli and goblins came to her rescue?

The girl, who was careful not to show any excited expressions, quietly moved her hands and feet, which were numb and stiff because she had been tied up for too long, to ensure that these body parts would not be held back when she ran away for a while, and at the same time observed the positions of the seven kidnappers from another world, and began to silently plan an escape route in her heart.

In addition, the jacket with its own pocket portal is still worn on her, and if she can break free from the rope, she doesn't know what Shao Wei can find from inside.

Maybe Shao Wei was telling the truth that day, if he had evacuated in time when that monster attacked, he probably wouldn't have been caught by these kidnappers from another world.

To say that I don't regret it is definitely false......

The captain of the guard, who was completely unaware of the thoughts of the girl beside him, squinted his eyes slightly and cast his gaze into the depths of the forest, and the slight sound of the pursuers squirming through the trees echoed in the silent forest, and it was so vivid when it reached his ears.

The guards in ambush clenched their swords, the people in the trees put their arrows on the strings, and the guards who could blind people with magic were ready to cast spells.

"Get up—how did you sleep—get up—how did you sleep at your age—"

The serious voice of a middle-aged man suddenly sounded in the forest, making the guards who didn't know the meaning of these words look at each other, only when Junjun heard this voice, she thought of the wake up alarm clock she forgot to turn off, and couldn't help but have an urge to cover her face.

Wait, this voice rings in the forest, which means that your phone is not in your drawstring bag......

Fernando, who had the best archery skills in the Southern Sypheus Lord's Guard, stared at the slightly trembling bushes somewhere in front of him, silently and slowly opened his bow, then released his fingers, and the feathered arrow came out of the string and shot straight in that direction.

A shrill exclamation rang out in the forest, and the guards of the South Richsyphus Lord's Guard engaged the young greenskinned dwarfs of the forest goblin village.

Unable to hide their whereabouts, the goblins emerged from all directions, screaming sharply and raising their weapons to attack the guards who were shocked by the scene.

Are they hallucinating? The goblins who had almost slaughtered the bloody goblins in the village before took the initiative to attack them?!

"Calm down, it's just a goblin, show your courage and martial arts." The captain of the guard, wielding a sword in both hands, let out a loud cry and took a half-step back to avoid a goblin's stab.

Outnumbered, the green-skinned dwarfs swarmed up and fought the defenders on the ground in five-on-one or even six-on-one fashions, and the anger of the destruction of their homes and the loss of their loved ones drove them to swing their improvised weapons, injuring two overwhelmed guards in an instant.

After firing a few arrows, the two archers who were ambushed by the chief of the guard found that the goblins who were fighting in close combat were extremely difficult to aim at and that there was a risk of accidentally injuring their companions, so they dropped their bows and arrows, drew their short knives and jumped off the tree, and joined the melee.

After the initial chaos, the guards of the Lord Guard of South Richsyphus held their ground, their weapons facing outwards in a circle back to back, thus being able to defend against attacks from all angles.

Even though almost all of them were wounded, the vital parts were protected by light armor, and they would not affect their combat power too much until they lost too much blood from the wounds.

The stone weapons used by the goblins could hardly inflict fatal damage on them, and the goblins who surrounded these guards obviously had no good solution, so they could only hope that the actions of the remaining companions would be relatively smooth.

Broccoli panted as she looked at the dagger in her hand, which had been cut out of two notches, the weapon captured from Viscount Robinette last time, beautifully decorated and well-made, and should not have been so fragile.

Probably like that human nobleman, he is a vain guy......

There were eleven goblins in his encirclement, including broccoli, and only one person was surrounded by them, and as long as he killed him, he could save Lord Shi Junjun.

This should have been a battle where the outcome was immediately decided.

But the man who was surrounded by the goblins was the captain of the guard, Reinhardt.

In that year, he had defeated eleven swordsmen in the royal capital......

Reinhardt.

The originally heavy two-handed sword seemed to be as light as nothing in his hand, and even the goblins' almost simultaneous attacks could not break through the sword's defenses.

If it weren't for the fact that Viscount Robinette was captured by Lord Shi Junjun that day, Broccoli couldn't imagine how they would deal with this chief guard alone.

But now is not the time to think about this, Broccoli caught a glimpse of the guards who were surrounded on the battlefield next to her, and there was a faint momentum of counterattack, and two of the goblins surrounding them had already been seized and severely damaged.

If it drags on any longer, more of our companions will die here......

The green-skinned dwarf's eyes grew resolute.
