Chapter 367: Huh?
Chapter 367 [Huh?]
When they parted that night, Chen Daolin handed over the stunned elf to Xia Xia, and sent the werewolf Chuck to protect him all the way.
But now I saw the little maid Xia Xia being surrounded by a group of defeated cavalry, although it was only a quick glance from a distance, but the magician's facial features and six senses were superhuman, and his eyesight was so keen, he saw the girl lying behind the horse at a glance, with her body and clothes, and she was clearly the little maid in her own family!
Seeing Xia Xia lying behind the horse, face down, life and death unknown, take a closer look, this girl actually has a rope tied to her body!
Such a scene, how can Chen Daolin not be angry in his heart?
His eyes were so wide that his eyes turned red!
Before he had time to speak, Chen Daolin had already jumped out with the dragon tooth sword in his hand, roared, and pounced in the air towards the cavalry on the horse where Xia Xia was in the middle of the team!
Although this team is also the official cavalry of the empire, after all, it is in the middle of a rout and fleeing, and a figure suddenly flew out of the air on the side of the road, heading straight to the middle of the team!
At the sound of a shout, the cavalry suddenly disorganized, and the cavalry who rushed ahead did not have time to restrain their horses, and the few cavalrymen in the middle of the group did not even have time to draw their weapons, so they watched the figure rush into the middle of the ranks.
Chen Daolin's body had already rushed towards the cavalry, and the cavalry reacted quickly, seeing a figure rushing into the air, Chen Daolin's fierce dragon tooth sword was actually blocked by him with a saber in his busy schedule.
With a ding, the saber in the horseman's hand had already been broken in two! And Chen Daolin's body was so strong, even if he didn't apply any spells, his strength was enough to be comparable to that of a demonic beast! Under this sword, the cavalryman was instantly chopped off his horse and rolled off his horse, seeing this guy fall to the ground and roll a few times under the hooves of the cavalry horse that followed behind. was immediately trampled into a bloody blur, and died completely on the spot.
And Chen Daolin had already flown and sat on the horse, pulling the reins hard, how strong he was, the running war horse was immediately strangled by him with a long neigh, and suddenly the manpower rose, and the front hooves opened, but Chen Daolin had already loosened the reins, grabbed Xia Xia's heart with one hand, and lifted her up. He rose up again, left his horse, and leaped far away and landed on the ground by the side of the road.
At this time, Montoya and Ade had also rushed up, they had already seen the person in Chen Daolin's hands, Xia Xia and them spent so many days together, where would they not recognize?
As soon as they saw this scene, the two of them suddenly brightened their hearts, and they didn't need Chen Daolin to say more. Montoya had already drawn his sword and rushed forward!
This group of cavalry had already lost their armor, how could they stop a fierce general like Montoya? In front of the holy knights, a dozen cavalrymen were considered to be in perfect condition. It's just a share of food for this fierce general.
Seeing that Montoya had already rushed into the ranks of the cavalry, he saw that he was full of might, and his fighting spirit was violent, and he had several ups and downs. The cavalry at the front of the team had already been chopped and lay down.
And the cavalry that followed behind was even more unbearable, seeing such a fierce man as Montoya blocking the way. He didn't even have the courage to rush forward, so he shouted, and turned his horse's head to run away.
Montoya flew forward, his body swooped out like a goshawk, the figure swept by like a whirlwind, and the long sword quickly harvested two lives.
And although Ade was not as fierce as Montoya, this guy stood on the side of the road, quickly took off the longbow, bent the bow and set the arrow, he actually pulled out five sharp arrows in one hand and sandwiched them between his fingers, and heard the bowstring buzzing, and actually shot out five sharp arrows in one breath!
His archery skills were really strong, and he fired five arrows in a row, and the arrows were not in vain! Immediately, five cavalrymen were hit by arrows and turned over and fell off their horses!
There were still two cavalrymen left, but they finally ran away, and the horses' hooves were hurrying, and they had already run dozens of meters away.
Montoya stood where she was, grabbed two spears from the ground, shook them in her hands, and threw them with all her might!
With two sounds of breaking the air, the two cavalrymen in the distance were immediately pierced by spears through the back of their hearts, and their bodies flew out of the air and rolled to the ground......
The three of them shot together, and the more than ten cavalrymen were wiped out in just a moment, but the murderous aura on Chen Daolin's face was unabated, especially a pair of blood-red eyes, like a wounded beast!
Helped Xia Xia up, the little maid still had a trace of blood on her face, her eyes were closed, obviously fainted, Chen Daolin patted her hard, and sprayed some water on her face, the girl moaned faintly, and finally woke up.
Those eyes were still a little dazed at first, but when they saw clearly that the face in front of them was their own Darling master, Xia Xia's eyes suddenly burst into a strong surprise, and then they became full of grievances, and they cried out bitterly.
"Don't cry!!" Chen Daolin shouted at Xia Xia, with a gloomy face: "Say it quickly! What happened!!"
"Quick, go and save Sister Barossa! she's been caught by those hateful fellows! And that kind cavalry uncle has his arm cut off by them......"
Xia Xia was too excited, his words were messy, Chen Daolin listened, but he took a deep breath, grabbed Xia Xia's hand, although his face was gloomy and ugly, but he deliberately slowed down his speech, and said word by word: "Don't panic!
As he spoke, he gently hugged Xia Xia with one hand, slowly patted her on the back of the heart, and said in a deep voice: "Speak slowly, who harmed you, where are Barossa and Chuck, and who is the enemy?
The little maid Xia Xia originally thought that this time was completely finished, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the master of her own backbone, appeared in front of her and rescued herself......
After this story, Chen Daolin's face was full of murderous anger, and he laughed angrily, and sneered and shouted: "Okay! Okay! Hahaha! A little cat, three dogs, and four dare to come to fight Lao Tzu's idea!!"
......
It turned out that Chen Daolin had knocked Barossa unconscious two days ago and handed it over to Xia Xia and Chuck to take away.
The werewolf left the mountain with the three girls and headed towards the predetermined meeting place, but unexpectedly, out of the mountain forest, along the road to a village for the night, he actually met a team of local garrisons!
This group of anti-garrison troops had as many as one battalion, that is, more than 500 people.
What's even more surprising is that. In this army, there are still acquaintances!
According to Xia Xia's description, the leader of this army is a garrison officer, who is probably the leading general of the local garrison army nearby.
This garrison was stationed on the outskirts of a town, about the size of nearly a thousand garrisons, and the main general was only a battalion officer-level guy.
But the point is that in the army encountered in the village, there was another person, the one who was in Baron Pierre's house. To lend a helping hand to Chen Daolin and others, Martin, the cavalry officer who was once born in the Storm Legion.
When they met him in the village, this Martin had already been tied up and brought to the team, apparently already a prisoner who had been stripped of his official position and wanted to be captured.
And what surprised Xia Xia and the others even more was that in addition to this Martin, there was actually another acquaintance in this group, that is, the younger brother of Baron Pierre, the magician named Quinn.
When he was at the baron's house at that time, this Quinn came to arrest Chen Daolin with Gu Le and others. However, when the two sides of the baron's family fought, this Quinn did not make a move, so everyone didn't pay too much attention to him.
In the village, this army was encountered. Xia Xia suddenly had a heart. Although she saw Martin arrested, the little maid speculated that there were only three people in her own house, and only one of them could fight the werewolf Chuck. Even if Martin and his own family are quite related, they can compare the strength of the two sides, and they have no ability to rescue each other.
Originally, according to Xia Xia's idea. You should leave the village quietly and quickly, away from this army, and wait until you have met your master, and then make another plan.
But the most infuriating thing is that it was the old baron's younger brother, the magician Quinn, who discovered Xia Xia and them at once.
According to Xia Xia, the magician named Quinn was not a good thing, and once he found them, he immediately came with an army to round them up.
Xia Xia and the three of them, Barossa was stunned by Chen Daolin, and the werewolf Chuck fought alone, where is the opponent of so many armies, not to mention that the opponent has a magician.
After some fierce resistance, all three were caught.
"That Uncle Martin secretly helped us because he was deliberately accommodating to us when he was at the Baron's house. And the garrison lord also came out to look for us with a large number of troops, and met Uncle Martin on the way, and Uncle Martin was originally fine...... But that hateful magician Quinn, in front of the garrison officers, said that Martin was secretly colluding with us, so Uncle Martin was arrested by them. Originally, they were going to arrest Uncle Martin back to the barracks for questioning, but they happened to bump into us halfway through......"
When Chen Daolin heard this, his face did not move, but he said slowly: "Are you sure...... It was all done by that magician named Quinn?"
"I'm sure!" Xia Xia nodded vigorously: "We were locked up with Uncle Martin, and he personally told me that it was that Quinn who reported him in front of the garrison officers......"
"Humph!"
Chen Daolin snorted fiercely.
The magician named Quinn, when he saw him, he thought this person was a little strange, and it was he who led Gu Le and the others here at that time, and in the subsequent battle between the two sides, he didn't make a move, so Chen Daolin ignored this person. I didn't expect this guy to be so hateful......
Could it be that he also wants to catch himself as a wanted criminal and then curry favor with ......
Chen Daolin frowned, but there was something he couldn't figure out.
That Quinn was a magician, and it stands to reason that there was no need to do such a thing. If he was an official, it wouldn't be surprising. But a magician, to do such a thing, to ask for a reward?
What is it about a magician who is so keen on such things?
Currying favor with Emperor Shiloh? Does he expect Shiloh to give him an official award?
However, Martin's arrest made Chen Daolin feel a little guilty.
Although Gu Le is hateful, this person still has a bit of grace in doing things, Gu Le once said to himself that he would not pursue Martin - anyway, he has already caught himself, with Gu Le's identity and bearing, there is really no need to pursue a small cavalry officer of a small local garrison.
Gu Le is quite atmospheric, so Chen Daolin doesn't think that Martin's arrest is reported by Gu Le.
So...... It's really Quinn who did it!
"Then how come you are being held hostage by these cavalrymen? I think they look like they have lost a battle, and they have been chased all the way?"
Chen Daolin's eyes rolled and he immediately asked the most critical question.
Xia Xia hurriedly said: "That group of troops captured us, took us back to the barracks, and ran to Quinn's brother's house on the way. It was the old baron's mansion. ”
Chen Daolin frowned: "Why did you go back again?"
"I don't know. Xia Xia shook his head: "It seems that that Quinn asked for it, and he said that he was going to take his brother's family away." ”
Chen Daolin's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed a few points.
Although I don't know why that Quint is so keen on official things, helping the army to arrest him. But obviously, this guy is still very jealous of himself. I didn't catch myself, but I caught my family. This guy must have been afraid of his revenge afterwards, so he went back halfway to take his brother's old baron's family away, afraid that he would find out afterwards and run to find trouble in his family.
Hum......
"It was midnight when I went. We stayed overnight in the barony's palace and ...... in the middle of the night."
Later, through Guò Xia Xia's narration, Chen Daolin finally knew that when he was resting overnight in the baron's mansion, the righteous Martin had found a way to make some moves.
After all, he has been a petty officer in the army for so many years, and he is also quite prestigious in the people he commands, and he also has a few hardcore henchmen. When in the Baron's Palace, in the middle of the night. Several of Martin's henchmen came to the rescue, originally only planning to let Martin out quietly, but Martin made another choice very smartly.
He asked his subordinates to find a way to rescue Xia Xia as well.
After all, among the few people who were caught, the werewolf Chuck looked like a hard stubble. Closely guarded. And the elf Barossa is said to be Chen Daolin's lover, with an important identity and strict guard. Only Xia Xia, a young girl. It is said that he is a small servant, so he is not taken too seriously and is not so closely guarded.
Martin let his henchmen release Xia Xia. Sue Xia Xia and run out together, it is best to find Chen Daolin, and then notify Chen Daolin to come to the rescue.
As a result, when he fled in the middle of the night, he was accidentally broken by the guards again, and Martin and his henchmen fought desperately to finally cover Xia Xia and escape from the baron's mansion.
In the fierce battle, Martin was seriously wounded and is said to have had his arm cut off on the spot, while several of his henchmen were killed on the spot, three were killed on the spot, and one was also wounded, but he rode out with Xia Xia on horseback.
As a result, after the two rode out of the baron's mansion, they ran all the way all the way and ran all night, but they were finally caught up by the pursuers.
Martin's men were killed on the spot, and when Xia Xia was about to be caught again, a group of saviors suddenly fell from the sky.
"We were caught up at the foot of a hillside on the side of the road, and the uncle who was protecting me at that time had been hacked to death, and I was caught and tied up by them, and a very fierce officer tried to whip me, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly spoke on the hillside, and a few people in white clothes spoke and stopped saying that those officers were not allowed to bully children. ”
"The man in white?" Chen Daolin frowned.
"Well, they're dressed in white. Xia Xia immediately said: "Those people seem to be passing by, and they are camping and resting behind the hillside. The officers and soldiers were very fierce, quarreled with them, and threatened them to arrest them all. I listened to these officers speak very hard, as if they said something like 'barbarian' or 'alien', but I don't know which sentence suddenly provoked those people. The white-clad men immediately rushed down the hillside to fight the officers. Originally, these officers and soldiers were still relying on the strength of the crowd to bully people, but unexpectedly, from behind the hillside, many white-clothed men on horseback suddenly turned out, and these people were very powerful, riding tall horses, wielding long scimitars in their hands, and they killed these cavalry to the point of rout! The leading officer saw that it was not good, so he tied me up and threw me on horseback, and fled with the people all the way. Those who were dressed in white kept chasing, chasing for a long, long time...... Then, I fainted. ”
At the end, Xia Xia burst into tears: "Master, go and save Sister Barossa! and Chuck...... And that Uncle Martin! Uncle Martin had an arm cut off, he, is he going to die?"
When Chen Daolin heard this, his face was already pale, and he took a deep breath: "This happened last night?"
"Well, I was in the Baron's Court last night. ”
Chen Daolin looked at the sky and sneered: "Hmph, let's go and see the strength of the garrison in that place...... And that guy named Quinn, it looks like I'm really going to get a good look at his magic this time!"
......
The location of the Baron's Mansion of Pierre, Chen Daolin naturally remembered, he calculated the time, according to this time, the cavalry sent out to hunt down Xia Xia had not had time to return to return to the order, so it means that those people should still be waiting in the Baron's Palace.
He consulted with Montoya and Ade, but Montoya and Ade had no objections.
In the eyes of the two, if they encounter a strong enemy like Gu Le, it may be a little tricky...... A group of local garrisons is only a few hundred people, and in front of the holy knights who are high-level martial artists, they are just local chickens and dogs! You must know that Montoya was a fierce man who dared to charge alone in the face of the elite Red Feather Cavalry of the Imperial Forest Army on the streets of the imperial capital!
With only a few hundred local garrisons, it is not the elite of the empire, and it is really nothing in the eyes of the knights.
What's more, there is also Lord Darling pressing the formation! Lord Darling has an artifact that can bombard the Saint-level dragon's cunning!
As for the magician named Quinn...... The Holy Knight directly ignored it, there is Lord Darling, a magical genius who is famous in the imperial capital, competing in magic, and he will be afraid of a little-known magician from the countryside?
Just as a few people were about to leave for the road, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard again in the distance.
When Montoya heard this, she immediately frowned!
In his experience, he could already hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from afar, the sound was neat and urgent, and it was obvious that there were well-trained elite people on their way!
And as far as the eye can see, there is a group of people galloping on horseback on the main road!
These people, all dressed in white, served quite differently from the people of the Roland Empire, with narrow sleeves and short clothes. And the boasted horses are all rare high-headed horses, at first glance they are good breeds and good horses, but I am afraid that ordinary cavalry troops do not have so many good horses!
These people roared over, rushed to the front of them like a whirlwind, and then stopped dozens of steps away in unison, but faintly unfolded the array, faintly making a semi-encirclement posture for several people on the side of the road.
The road was full of the corpses of the cavalry that had been killed by Chen Daolin and others, and there were wounded horses.
This group of people quietly confronted Chen Daolin and the others from such a distance, and several people in the front row showed complicated and surprised eyes in their eyes.
As if hesitating, a man in white rode out slowly, and shouted at Chen Daolin: "Hey, guy over there! Quickly let go of that little girl!
Chen Daolin's face was relaxed, these people were obviously what Xia Xia said, and the white-clothed people who saw unevenness on the road halfway and reached out to help those officers and soldiers had a conflict.
He accepted the favor of these people in his heart, but he didn't expect these people to chase all the way here, so he felt a little more and more grateful, and was about to speak to explain and thank him by the way...... But then, the words of the man in white made Chen Daolin's face strange.
"If you don't want to die, hand over this little girl! The person she has taken a fancy to the head of my family will be brought back to be a personal servant! How noble my master is, the person you fancy should not be sacrificed obediently in a hurry! Otherwise, you will be beheaded on the spot!!"
(To be continued......)
