Chapter 21: Hostage in hand
The news that the guerrilla squad had been ambushed in the field quickly spread throughout the Knights of Favonius.
Grand Master Falga was furious.
Four squads, led by a cavalry squad, were sent to support.
Led by Captain Diluc, the fastest cavalry squad rushed to the location of the guerrilla squad's attack before everyone else.
As you go deeper into the Whispering Forest.
Diluc's face grew darker and darker.
Broken armor, weapons, blackened bloodstains, scattered everywhere.
Vast swaths of forests have also been destroyed.
Even in the scorching midday sun, the remaining ice elemental was lingering.
This shows the fierceness of the fighting at that time.
What is even more worrying is that they have not seen the members of the guerrilla squad along the way.
Neither living nor corpses could be found.
"Search, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death."
Diluc ordered in a deep voice.
The cavalry squad that received the order immediately divided its forces and began to search in all directions.
However, after turning this place upside down, they found no clue except for a series of footprints towards the Wangfeng Mountain.
Suspiciously, the footprints appear to be deliberately leading people in this direction.
Some experienced veteran knights immediately reported to Diluc.
"Captain, the situation is not quite right, it is better to be careful."
"It's best to wait for the rest of the squad to arrive, and go together."
When Diluc, who was young and vigorous, heard this, he raised his eyebrows and suppressed his anger and said.
"Then the Knights' companions don't care?"
He raised his whip and pointed to the broken armor he had gathered.
"Look at it, it's all the blood of your companions."
"Since the murderer left us behind, it means that they are definitely not dead, but they are just hidden somewhere."
"Seek, keep looking."
"We are the most elite cavalry squad of the Knights."
"There is only one opponent, what is there to be afraid of!"
Diluc's words made the team's blood boil.
As the most elite unit of the Knights of Favonius, the cavalry squad has more than ten owners of the Vision of Light.
The combat power of the argument is far from being comparable to that of the guerrilla squads.
This is also the confidence that they dared to divide their troops in the dense forest before.
What's more, they often fight side by side with the guerrilla squad, and except for the sinners of the Lawrence family, everyone else has a very good relationship.
The old knights had wanted to persuade them again.
But seeing that Diluc had made up his mind, and most of the Favonius Knights agreed with this decision, they didn't say anything more.
So the group followed the footprints and galloped towards the direction of Wangfeng Mountain.
......
"I don't know if I should praise him for being a daring artist, or if he is a brainless idiot?"
On the slope of the Wangfeng Mountain, Lin Feng, who was wearing a mask, stood with his hands in his hands, mocking lightly.
From the Whispering Forest to the Lookout Mountains, there are high slopes on both sides, and there is only one way into the mountains, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Originally, Lin Feng considered that in case there were too many Zephyr knights who came over, he could rely on this dangerous road to play the effect of being a man and a man.
I didn't expect Diluc to dare to break in with only a few people.
Without the slightest consideration of such a narrow passage, the cavalry could not be used at all.
"Young man, it's really too arrogant."
Lin Feng shook his head and chuckled, moved his hands and feet, and condensed the ice bow again.
Ajax is not the only one in the Fatui who claims to be proficient in martial arts, and he Troy Schneitzvich is not far behind.
"You...... What the hell are you going to do? ”
Just as Lin Feng was about to make a move, a voice full of anger suddenly came from his feet.
"Yo, are you awake?"
Lin Feng looked at Eula who was tied up into twisted flowers with some surprise.
As soon as the guerrilla squad was wiped out, he set about knocking them all out and tying them up.
Then, with the help of the power of the wind element, he pulled them all to the Wangfeng Mountain, leaving that small clue by the way.
With Lin Feng's strength, he thought that these people would have to sleep for at least half a day.
Unexpectedly, Eula woke up in just over an hour.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Why did you attack us?"
As she spoke, Eula's hands were also exerting force at the same time, trying to break the ropes on her body.
But after struggling for a long time, these ropes showed no sign of loosening.
Seeing her suffocating and flushed face, Lin Feng burst out laughing.
"Don't bother it."
"This rope of mine is made of the dragon tendons of the ancient rock dragon lizard, and you can't break it with your little ability."
Eula didn't listen to him.
Instead, he continued to struggle for a while, until his strength was exhausted, and he was unwilling to settle down.
"Stopped?"
"Don't toss?"
Lin Feng looked at Eula with a smile.
After speaking, he raised his hand and stretched his bow, and the ice elemental power instantly condensed into a long arrow.
Following the arrow, Eula saw at a glance the cavalry squad that had given up riding and was crowded on foot in the passage up the mountain.
Knowing how powerful the masked man in front of her was, Eula suddenly looked shocked.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Diluc! Come on! ”
"There is an ambush here!!"
Unfortunately, it was too far away for Diluc to hear her voice.
At this time, the long arrow in Lin Feng's hand had already been shot.
Unlike attacking a guerrilla squad, you only need one arrow to determine the victory.
Dealing with the cavalry squad with stronger combat effectiveness, Lin Feng continued to open his bow, and the ice elemental long arrow shot towards the bottom of the mountain as if he didn't want money.
Compared with the scrambled guerrilla squads, the cavalry squads led by Diluc are indeed worthy of the name of elite.
As soon as they heard the sound of ice arrows breaking through the air, they immediately gathered together.
The two Vision owners in the team quickly drew the rock elementals and worked together to create a shield large enough to envelop everyone.
In the past, two arrows could wipe out the attack of a guerrilla squad, but under such protection, it did not play a role.
"Tsk, that's interesting."
Lin Feng waved his hand to dissipate the ice bow.
After glancing at Eula with a happy face, Lin Feng picked up her pine and jumped off the cliff when the sound sounded.
The cavalry squad that resisted the rain of arrows had just breathed a sigh of relief, and was carried down by Lin Feng and stepped heavily on the rock shield.
A shield that could withstand a few rounds of arrows was torn apart in the blink of an eye.
Even the two owners of the Rock Elemental Vision passed out with blood from their mouths under this blow.
Diluc was shocked.
When he heard the guerrilla leader who fled back to the city say that there was only one attacker, he was a little dismissive, thinking that the guerrilla squad was too careless.
Now, it's not a matter of carelessness.
This guy's strength is simply ridiculously strong.
"Diluc Legunfender."
"Simon Pecchito, I say hello."
Lin Feng smiled, then picked up the big sword with one hand, and used Eula's sect's version of the West Wind swordsmanship.
Maybe the Lawrence family themselves didn't know.
The family swordsmanship that they regarded as treasures had actually been in the hands of the Knights of Favonius for a long time.
Those nobles who pride themselves on their superiority are actually no different from monkeys jumping up and down in the eyes of the Knights, and they are purely for fun.
Only the gifted Eula Lawrence was highly regarded by the Order.
So they invoked the eyes of the Lawrence family and instilled in her the idea of Free Mondstadt every day, so that she naturally gave birth to the idea of confrontation with the family.
Then through the scout knight, who is Amber's grandfather.
Taking advantage of his teaching to Eula, Eula's already vacillating position was completely reversed in Mondstadt.
Even so, the Knights of Favonius are not at ease.
Taking advantage of Lin Feng's return to Mondstadt, Falgar immediately asked him for help, using his position as the Winter Envoy to test Eula again.
It wasn't until Lin Feng judged that Eula was loyal, and Falga finally put her mind at ease.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng was a little irritable for no reason, and snorted: "It's really boring." ”
With that, he unreservedly burst out with all his might, and the great sword in his hand was ten times more furious than Eula's.
Even with a pair of dozens of people, it still has the upper hand.
But in time for tea, he took all the cavalry squad down.
As for Diluc, who had repeatedly looked for his fault, he was beaten by him on the ground and on his head.
Next, he tied up the cavalry squad and the guerrilla squad together, and then moved to another position with Diluc alone.
After hiding Diluc and making sure that no one could find him, Lin Feng took Diluc's weapon and swaggered towards Mondstadt.
