038 Silves "Miss"
A few miles away from the camp, there is a small cave that glows slightly.
After arranging the ambush plan he had formulated, Silves leaned against the stone wall, stretched his waist, and asked casually,
"Hasn't Todd come back yet?"
"No," one of his subordinates shook his head, "he can't be a mutiny, is he?"
"He didn't have the guts. Silves said lightly, qualitatively.
"He's back. Not long after, the sentry watching outside the door suddenly reminded him.
Silves shrugged and signaled that this was the case, and several of his subordinates chuckled.
"What are you doing?" Silves frowned when he saw Todd walk in drunken clothes.
"I made a few friends and drank a little wine. Todd staggered over to the fire and sat down with a grin.
"Is there a market nearby?" asked Silves.
"Huh, no......" Todd squinted at him and fell asleep against the stone wall.
Silves clenched the short knife in his cuff, and really wanted to give it to him.
The river gradually opened up, and the remnants of the mountain range formed low hills under the alluvium of the river. The road winds around them, and the sight becomes winding.
The cavalry was marching on a slightly moist river, and the shallow weeds could not even cover the horses' hooves.
There was another carriage in the procession, and through the curtain of the carriage, the silhouette of a person reading a book could be faintly seen, which should be Allegri. Dios's injuries were almost healed, and he and Illo rode after the team broke off.
It was noon, the weather was a little overcast, and they had been on the march for some time, and the horses were tired.
Turning a hill, there was a faint shout of killing in the wind.
"What's wrong?" Jonah waved for the group to stop. The two knights had already galloped up the hill to reconnoitre.
"There was a horse thief looting a caravan ahead, and the battle was fierce. One of them came back and reported, "They seem to have spotted us and waved their flags to ask us for help." ”
The knight's expression was a little hesitant, he knew that this was probably a delaying tactic, but the knight's spirit made it impossible for him to ignore such a thing.
Jonah nodded, knowing that these men were real knights, not mercenaries.
After just one thought, he gave the order, "Woods, your team stays behind to protect Allegri, and the others follow me to help the caravan." ”
The sound of horses' hooves tightened, and Jonah, with the blonde sword, led twenty knights and ran towards the hill. Woods' squad consisted of five knights, who guarded the carriage in the middle, carefully observing the surroundings.
"I'd like to see it too," Althea got out of the carriage, "I've been suffocating for the past few days." ”
"This ......," Woods hesitated. He couldn't disobey Jonah's orders, but he couldn't leave Althea alone on the dangerous battlefield.
"It's all right, you protect Mr. Mage," Illo pointed to the carriage, "I'll accompany Miss Althea to see it." ”
Relieved, Woods nodded gratefully as she watched as Althea reluctantly walked around the hill with Illo. On the other side of the hill, there was a sudden rush of shouting.
Several masked horse thieves were chasing a wagon towards it. The anxious coachman drove the carriage with all his might, shouting for help from the knights. In the carriage, there seems to be the sound of female relatives screaming.
Woods gritted his teeth, there were only five of them, so he could only stick to the order and ignore it.
Suddenly, Dios's voice came from behind him, "You can't let them come, you go to intercept the horse thieves, it's likely that they are pretending." ”
Woods suddenly realized, hurriedly shouted, and led the knight of the squad to intercept the past.
Several horse thieves, wielding scimitars, met the knights and fought fiercely. The horse thieves fought and retreated, gradually leading them away, and one of the knights seemed to hesitate, and kept behind and turned his head frequently, not coming forward to fight.
Next to the carriage, only Dios was left alone to protect him.
"Xie Lu, Lord Knight Xie. The coachman was so desperate that he almost burst into tears, and he shouted his gratitude and scolded the horses for stopping the carriage next to Dios.
Dios smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.
The coachman jumped off his horse and bowed to his knees, "Thanks to the help of the knights, our young lady was not overtaken by the horse thieves. ”
"Oh, is there a beautiful lady in the carriage?" said Dios, smiling a little strangely.
"Of course!" the coachman agreed, but when he looked up, a grim gaze flashed, and he quietly pulled out the short knife at his waist and stabbed it straight at the horse where Dios was sitting!
At the same time, a black sword light lit up in the carriage, and Silves rushed out of the carriage and sprinted towards Allegri's carriage. It was just an instant to get into the carriage.
The neighing of the horses sounded at the same time as Silves's shouting.
Dios's horse was frightened, and sprang out a few steps, and the hunter who pretended to be a coachman waved his hands, and several black lights shot out, and Dios raised his shield to protect it, and the injured horse fell to the ground with both legs bent and fell to the ground. Dios raised his shield and did not resist, but ran as if he were very afraid.
"Am I so powerful?" the hunter was a little dazed, this warrior and Lord Silves were said to be able to fight for a long time, and their strength was extremely high. His mission was originally to contain Dios's support for the carriage, but why did he run away?
He didn't have to know the Tao anymore.
In this moment of lightning, a lot happened. Silves wanted to take advantage of this chaotic moment to assassinate Allegri in one fell swoop.
But in the carriage, there was no one! His "Sniffing Demon Touch" clearly felt that there was a ball of flame magic in the carriage that was a little weaker than Dios's, but there was nothing on the seat, only a red light slowly lit up?
Not good!
In the carriage, Silves roared, subconsciously activated the talisman artifact, and was about to jump away when he turned over.
Outside the carriage, the hunter heard Silves' warning, and his first reaction was to turn his head to look for support.
A blinding red light filled his field of vision, and a vigorous heat gushed out, and a loud noise shook the entire battlefield. But he never had a chance to know the Tao again.
With the original carriage as the center, a huge earth pit was blown out within a radius of several meters. The earth was charred and blackened by the blast wave, and the grass flew up, and the two wagons and the horses pulling the cart and the coachman were all blown to pieces, leaving only a few flames burning on the ground. Under the upheaval, the reactions of all parties have also been different.
Silves, who was pushed far away, held a cracked white-gold coat of arms in his hand. Even though the crisis threshold inspired this divine coat of arms given by the archbishop, the huge momentum still made the corners of his mouth bloody, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Dios, who fled in a hurry, showed his dusty head from behind the shield, and his expression was shocked, Allegri's arrangement was really terrifying. His gaze swept over Silves, slightly worried about his condition.
In the distance, the hunters disguised as horse thieves were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly gave up the battle and leaned over to Silves, protecting him behind.
Woods did not chase either, and led five knights to join Dios. The two groups of people looked at each other, and the leader was in an abnormal state, not knowing how to end the road. Silves struggled to his feet, picking up the short knife next to him. He looked at the destroyed land with painful and remorseful eyes, and the only thing left of his closest subordinate was now dark red ashes.
"As you say, you're back, but you seem a little surprised?"
One of the knights next to Woods suddenly took off his helmet and mask and smiled at Silves.
Silves's eyes changed sharply, and he wanted to break his mouth full of teeth, this person who had been mixed in the knight team was the magician he met that day, the descendant of Herseus!
But when did he leave the carriage and blend in with the group, and what about the magic fluctuations inside the carriage?
"Let's go. Puzzled, Silves stopped thinking about it, and struggled to climb up to his freed horses, and ordered a temporary retreat. What you suffer today will be avenged a thousand times more tomorrow. The horses had just taken a step, but suddenly Allegri's hateful voice came from behind them,
"By the way, I have one more question. ”
Silves reined in his horse and did not turn his head, but his ears were propped up.
"My beautiful 'Miss Silves', did you pretend to lie to me when the horse thief chased and killed the female voice in the carriage just now?"
Silves' body shook suddenly, and he almost fell off his horse.
