Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It was originally a manor.
Under the dark night, outside the courtyard wall, countless torches were densely lit in the darkness, and the cavalry of the brigade was already surrounded outside.
The original gate had been smashed open, and a cavalryman wearing the armor of the Roland Empire rushed in first, trampling on the fallen gate with horses' hooves and galloping in.
There were people trapped here, trying to resist, but after the gate was knocked open, the cavalry no longer stopped, and drove straight in, even men and horses charged, and the few people who were originally blocking the door were trampled into meat by the galloping horses in the blink of an eye.
When the cavalry rushed into the courtyard, they immediately scattered on all sides and slaughtered in all directions.
The courtyard of this manor occupies a huge area, and there are dozens of recalcitrant assassins in the courtyard, some of whom stand on the roof, and return fire with bows and arrows, but after a few shots, they are shot down by the archers in the army, and with a miserable scream, they fall from the roof.
After landing, there were Roland cavalrymen riding by, holding long swords, bending down, and with a flash of the sword, they cut off the human head, picked it on the blade of the sword, and harvested it.
The courtyard has become a Shura slaughter field, although the assassins are desperately resisting, but the number of Roland cavalry occupies an absolute advantage, and it is with the skills of military formation, although the assassins are fierce, but the stragglers are brave, in the face of such a regular elite army group charge, where can they resist?
Seeing the screams one after another, the Assassins were defeated one after another, and some of them had to retreat into the house.
But before he could close the gate, a cavalry had already rushed up, and the horse's hooves were raised, and he directly kicked open the gate that had not had time to close, and rushed in.
Then the cavalry swarmed in, and there was a sudden shouting and screaming from the house.
In the backyard of the house. There were already cavalry pouring in, but just as a few cavalry rushed in, they suddenly saw a red light emitting from the stable!
The red light was like a flowing flame, and the aura swept by, instantly burning the few cavalry who rushed to the front into a ball of fire.
A man and a horse rushed out of the stable like a whirlwind! The black war horse roared, and it was the man with the gun.
The spear-wielding assassin was on his horse, and a spear was brandished, and the red aura was boiling. The cavalry who were in front of him in everything were all knocked off their horses with a single shot.
And on the back of the spear-wielding assassin's horse, there was a man behind him, secured with a rope and tied to his back.
The spear-wielding assassin rushed out first, and immediately fought his way out. Immediately after, three more horsemen rushed out of the stable, all of them with spears, and immediately after the man with the gun, they broke through.
The second knight after the spearman was tied to a person on horseback, it was Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin had already woken up. At this moment, he was tied to the back of a horse, jolting, and even more surrounded by the sound of shouting and screaming, his heart was terrified. I felt the cold wind whizzing in my ears, and my body was undulating and bumping back and forth on the horse's back.
Gradually, the shouting of killing has been left behind, farther and farther away. I only heard the shouting and shouting of the pursuers. But in the end, he didn't catch up.
Several horsemen rushed out of the encirclement, not daring to turn back. Gallop along the path.
The man with the gun rushed to the front, taking the lead, and with a fierce man like him as the pioneer, he was naturally invincible.
Although on the way, he could occasionally encounter a few Roland soldiers who were on the periphery, but they were all defeated by him.
Just rushed out of the kung fu of having a meal in one breath, and there was no sound of chasing soldiers behind him, and the man with the gun whistled and stopped.
At this glance, this man's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Behind him, there were a total of four of his companions who had broken through on horseback together, but at this moment, there were only two people left.
"Your Excellency!"
The man on Chen Daolin's horse gasped and said quickly: "You can't stop here!"
When this voice came out, Chen Daolin immediately recognized that it was the unfamiliar voice he overheard talking to the gunman by the fire before.
The man with the gun was about to crack his eyes, his eyes were spewing fire, the knuckles of his fingers holding the barrel of the gun were white, and he gritted his teeth and said: "These Roland cavalry came so suddenly, and they were surrounded by layers, and at a glance, they were fully prepared! Our stronghold is so secret, how could they find it! There is a ghost in this matter! We must have been betrayed by the inner ghost!"
"My lord, no matter what, let's rush out first! As long as you live, there will always be a chance for our big things! When the time comes, find out the inner ghost and chop him into pulp with one knife!"
The man with the gun let out a long breath, and looked in the direction behind him from a distance, deep in the woods, there was already a sky-high fire, obviously his stronghold had been burned.
Seeing that he had worked hard, so many elite subordinates led by him, and such a secret stronghold, were all destroyed, this gun-wielding man was dripping blood in his heart, and he only felt that his eyes were dark, and all thoughts were instantly lost, and he was about to fall off his horse.
Fortunately, he is also an extremely strong person, biting his lip hard, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "Leave a useful body! Today's things, I will repay the royal family tenfold in the future! Let's go!"
The three horsemen galloped away, not daring to take the big road, but just ran wildly along the fork in the path, and ran straight for most of the night, and finally slowed down when the sky was getting brighter.
Even if a person can still support it, but after running for half the night, the horses can no longer bear it.
Although the mounts of these three men were all excellent horses, they had already foamed at the mouth after galloping in the middle of the night, and if they forcibly squeezed the horsepower, they were afraid that they might die at any time.
As a last resort, they had to stop and rest, thinking that after the middle of the night, it was already quite far from the imperial capital.
Stopping in the woods, the man with the gun took out a water bag and drank a few sips of water, fed the rest of the water to the horse, turned to his companion and said, "Where are we now?"
The man with an unfamiliar voice took out a small compass that seemed to be a compass, looked at the direction, took out a map and looked at it, and finally decided: "If you are not mistaken, it should be the Prancing Horse Stream ahead." ”
"Prancing Horse Stream?" the man with the gun listened. frowned, "Isn't that almost to Pegasus Town?" It's already a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and those officials and soldiers can't catch up with it. ”
"Not bad. The man with an unfamiliar voice nodded and said: "Don't we know what those officers and soldiers are doing? They have copied our stronghold, and this time they have made a lot of contributions, but I am afraid that it will take a night to clean up the battlefield, and those officers are only afraid that they are still busy grabbing the credit, and they may not be able to chase so far." ”
The man with the gun sighed: "Although I said so, I still have to be careful." We're living in the Prancing Horse Stream, for safety. Don't go into the town, rest in the mountains. ”
The Prancing Horse Stream is located about a hundred miles northwest of the imperial capital, and it is not a large mountain.
The natural topography cuts a mountain range into two sections, and the distance between the two peaks is only a few meters. Standing on a mountain peak and looking at the other side, it seems that you can reach out and reach it, and as long as the prancing horse can fly over it - that's why this place is called the prancing horse stream.
This place is not famous - such a small town a hundred miles from the imperial capital is naturally unremarkable.
But for the wizarding world, this place is thunderous. Because the great Magister Gandalf was born here.
Several of them were wanted by the Empire and did not dare to enter the town. All the way through the mountains and forests, into the mountains. Then stop at a small stream next to a mountain stream to rest.
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and there was no need to worry that the light would attract attention, so a few people had the courage to build a fire.
Fought and fled for half the night. He took out some dry food, caught two more fish in the mountain stream and roasted them, and ate them half-full.
suffered such a big setback last night, and several people were in a low mood. After you have eaten and drunk to your heart's content. The man with an unfamiliar voice suddenly jumped up. walked to Chen Daolin's side in two steps, stretched out his foot and kicked him a few times: "Boy! Get up!!"
Although Chen Daolin had already woken up, he didn't dare to expose it, he was kicked a few times, and he originally planned to continue to play dead. But then, the gun-wielding man's voice came coldly: "He's still pretending to be dead! Hmph, boy, I know you've woken up early, if you pretend to be dead again, I'll make you really can't wake up, believe it or not!"
Chen Daolin knew that these people were all fierce people who killed people without blinking, and when he heard that it was not good, he continued to disguise, so he had to snort coldly.
As soon as the head was loosened, the blindfolded cloth was torn open.
Chen Daolin reluctantly opened his eyes, adjusted to the light for a while, and then took a long deep breath, and then began to look at the people around him.
The man with the gun, wearing leather armor, but his body was full of slashing marks, there were more scratches on the leather armor, and several places were also dripping with blood, and most importantly, his left thigh was severely injured, and his left thigh was bandaged with a thick cloth, but it was still faintly oozing blood.
And standing in front of Chen Daolin, I think it is the man with an unfamiliar voice, this person is relatively delicate, he doesn't seem to be a martial artist, but he is burly and slender - Chen Daolin noticed that this person has slender fingers, but thick joints, and a pair of longbows on his back, he is obviously a powerful archer.
The last Assassin companion looked rather uncharacteristic, wearing a shabby leather armor, ragged, unkempt, and a fierce face.
These three people are obviously led by this gun-wielding man, and this good-looking archer is the secondary, as for the fierce guy, it should only be a subordinate role.
"My lord!!" The good-looking guy stared at Chen Daolin, didn't look back, and said coldly: "This guy is very suspicious! We only arrested him yesterday, and he was surrounded and suppressed that night." Speaking of which, this guy has a lot of suspicions!"
The man with the gun snorted, but before he could speak, Chen Daolin had to distinguish it.
He sneered, looked at the delicate-looking archer in front of him without fear, and said lightly: "I was captured by you, tied my hands and feet, gagged me, and stunned me again." Where do I have the skills to summon an army?"
This handsome man was stunned for a moment, but he was still unwilling, and stared at Chen Daolin fiercely: "How do I know what method you use! In short, you lackeys loyal to the royal family are very cunning! Otherwise, where would such a coincidental thing happen? We only arrested you last night, and we were surrounded in the middle of the night! Maybe you used some spell to leak our hiding place!"
Chen Daolin laughed angrily, laughed twice, looked at this guy with disdain, and then simply ignored him, his eyes crossed this guy, and turned to the man with the gun: "What about you? Do you think so too?"
The man with the gun looked at Chen Daolin suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
"What else could it mean. Chen Daolin's face was gloomy: "Can't you see it? I, like you, have been shaded!"
The gun-wielding man's expression became more and more strange, and he frowned and looked at Chen Daolin: "I don't understand what you mean." ”
Chen Daolin already had a bottom in his heart, he was not in a hurry at the moment, smiled lightly, and looked up at the sky - the sun had already reached the top of his head, and the estimated time should be almost noon.
"It's almost noon, so it's time for you to pray, right?"
When Chen Daolin said this, the expressions of the three assassins changed drastically at the same time!
......
The Temple of Light, the state religion of the Roland Empire, is based on the worship of the only true god: the Goddess of Light.
The most orthodox of the ancient doctrines holds that light is the source of righteous divine power. And the greatest source of light in this world is undoubtedly the sun.
Therefore, more than 1,000 years ago, the predecessor of the Church of Light was once called the "Sun Worship Religion", but it was only after the founding of the Roland Empire that the official name of the "Temple of Light" was officially determined.
According to the doctrine, the noon of each day is the time when the sun is in the sky, the hottest, and the power of light is at its greatest.
At this time, light envelops the heavens and the earth, and it is also recognized as the moment when the divine power is at its strongest.
The midday sun is at its hottest, and it is also considered by the Church of Light to be the closest time of the day to the goddess.
Therefore, all the followers of the Temple of Light will have the habit of praying at noon every day. Especially for those who are the most determined and devout in the church, the daily noon prayer is a routine and will never be delayed.
Although Chen Daolin's tone was light, he revealed the true identities of several assassins one by one!
How can they not be shocked by color?!
Before the handsome man could speak, the spear-wielding assassin had already stood up, strode in front of Chen Daolin, stretched out his big hand to grab his shirt, lifted him up, and shouted, "How do you know !!?"
Chen Daolin's face remained unchanged, although he was lifted up, he was not afraid at all, looked at him coldly, and then asked softly without hurrying:
"Are You Yenites or Moses?" (To be continued)
