Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle in the Land of the Fallen Stars
Cook squatted on the wooden peg, looked at the helmet with only a few mushrooms left, and broke off two branches with a blank face and ate them, "I really have no ill intentions, this time I came to tell you that someone is coming to beat you." ”
"The paint is here?" The savage grinned as he looked at the painted castle.
"The name of the Dark Sage has spread in Nofifi, and the Baron senses the danger, and this morning, all the knights under the Baron have come out, except for the Grand Knight Widdy." Cook rolled his eyes when he heard this, "12 knights, 26 servants, all on horseback, with spears, bows and arrows, and one-handed swords, and when I came, they were examining the bones on the road. ”
"So we don't have much time to prepare?" After listening to Cook's words, he calculated.
"An hour at most." Cook glanced at the sun in the sky, "The knights want to catch you before dark, or get your corpses." ”
"I came here and was put in a dungeon, and when I came out, my home was gone, and finally there was a unit to take me in, and I had a place to live, and these people actually came to form a group to brush me, and let people stay there!" "We must deal with them, and if we run away again and again, we will never be able to stand." ”
"That's what I thought too, um... I can deal with six or seven at once, Mur can deal with three, and the Sage can only deal with one person... That's a bit of a challenge. The wild man also crossed his fingers and calculated, "Fortunately, we got the information in advance, and we can seize the opportunity in that wood." ”
"If you don't choose to run away, I'm the one who stops them." Cook said, standing up.
At noon, a knight rode down the ravine, his horse was not fast, and his hooves were still wrapped in rags, and when he was close to the castle at the bottom of the valley, he dismounted, and then quietly touched it.
Prostrate a hundred meters away, he saw several people there around the fire, and there was still a pot on the fire, apparently eating lunch.
"Sure enough, it's here." The knight thought to himself that this abandoned castle had always been a place where heretics liked to gather, and they had cleared it once before, and it seemed that the heretics thought it was a shadow under the lights and dared to come.
Checking the news, the knight turned his head and walked back, only to find that he could not move suddenly.
"What's going on?" The knight was shocked.
With a sharp pain in his eyes and head, the knight found that he could move again, but he only twitched a few times, and the out-of-focus eye saw a dark figure reach for his helmet.
Someone was picking up his gear.
In the far side of the canyon, a group of dormant knights watched as the knights who acted as waiters rode their horses to a position two hundred meters in front of them, and then played professional sign language, and then turned their heads to urge their horses to return.
"The target three are all there, they haven't entered the castle, if we rush fast enough, we can shoot them before they rush into the castle!"
The knight, who was the eldest brother who took the lead this time, said, "Go, you can't let this kid be greedy for all the credit." ”
The knight roared, went downhill, and rushed straight to the castle, they had been here once before, and they were familiar with the road, and when they turned the corner, they saw the scout knight running slowly forward, and the figure of the castle loomed.
The knights immediately sped up their horses, catching up with the scouts at a distance of three hundred meters ahead, and after staring at the three heretics without noticing, when they were about two hundred meters away, the knights drew their bows and fired a rapid fire at the three men beside the fire.
Riding and archery skills, only elite knights can do.
Thirty arrows flew out, striking a covering blow around the campfire, but the imaginary screams and struggles did not appear, and the three sitting heretics were very steady.
"Witchcraft?" The leading knight slowed down his horse, and the knight's team followed and stopped at a distance of a hundred meters from the other party, and he wanted to turn back and ask the scout what was going on, but he looked back and broke out in a cold sweat.
The scout, who had fallen to the end, had distanced themselves from them, and to the left and right of the knight were two horsemen facing them, but the helmets were knightly servants looking backwards.
"Drive!" The scout stabbed his horse with his sword, and the two horses, carrying the corpse of their master, rushed towards the knights.
"It's Nicholas. Mul! The knights in the lead finally saw the appearance of the other party clearly, and when the knights in the rear heard this, they swung their swords and cut off the heads of the two horses that rushed over, and then chased after Muer.
"Betrayal is unforgivable!"
The angry knight did not listen to what Mur shouted, and after stabbing his horse, he turned his horse's head and fled out of the canyon.
The rest of the knights, seeing that someone had cleaned up the knight on his back, once again set their eyes on the heretic man with his back to them but with an arrow stuck in it.
Since Mur appeared in the rear, who was sitting there in armor?
The two guards dismounted and drew their swords, and walked cautiously towards the fire, and the knights behind them also clenched their longbows, ready to reinforce at any time, but when the two servants walked about twenty meters, they let out a series of screams.
"Ahh Something bit my leg! ”
"It's a hunter's trap!"
The two dead and two wounded made the knight who led the team angry, especially this was his follower, the knight turned over and dismounted and rushed over with a spear, and the spear swept in front of him all the way.
"Bang bang bang~" Three consecutive empty traps jumped out of the ground, and led the knights to Hu Cong's side and helped them break the traps.
"There's rust on the shelves, I hope you can get through." The knight who led the team looked at the trap that he didn't know which hundred years it was made, and said with a pale face, and the faces of the two servants were also pale when they heard this.
Ignoring the servants who had fallen to the ground, the knight continued to sweep forward with his spear, until he came close to the three heretics, and he realized that they were some dressed straw men.
"Be careful!" Just as the captain of the team was about to release himself towards the castle to explore, he saw a spear flying from a distance, and he quickly reached out his spear to block, only to find that the spear was shot at the fire.
"Bang~" The fire burst out, and a large branch with flames smashed into the knight who led the team, he quickly dodged but still hit, but fortunately he was wearing chain armor and there was no harm.
"Over there!" A group of knights looked at the wild men who were a little sorry at the edge of the woods, although they were shocked by the power of the heretic to throw spears, but there were more knights, and even the dragons would cut you down!
The knights roared past and rushed into the woods, but the wildlings drew their second spears and threw them.
"Poof!" The spear broke through the armor, and the two knights were strung into sugar gourds, but the other knights had already rushed halfway there, and they raised their bows and threw them at the wildlings.
