551 The Baron of Hitchhiking
Duchy of Ian, County Westlin.
A group of ashen-faced knights were frantically fleeing south.
The small city where they were located had fallen three days earlier. In front of the tidal wave of Snowdon's Western Route Army, the city wall without divine power was simply vulnerable.
But it is precisely because of this that they have escaped the cruel "blood faith". Without the Divine Array as a springboard, the Holy White Tower would not be able to unleash the secret art of dying with the enemy. The populace was saved, but the Snowdons were never polite to the nobility. So Baron Cavins, as the lord of the city, had to lead the guard, the wolf bรจi, to flee to Severa.
"Quick, quick!" Cavins urged, blowing his pretty mustaches. If he is caught up by Snowton's army, his head will not be a proof of the enemy's military exploits.
"Lord Baron," said the square-faced commander of the guard, reluctantly, "the horses will not be able to hold on like this...... We might as well go to the woods in front of us and rest for a while before we go. โ
"yes. "Let's take a break, my lord. Hearing this, the knights chimed in. The day and night of the flight, tired and hungry, made them unable to persevere.
"Don't stop!" Seeing that their speed was gradually slowing down, Cavins pulled out the stabbing sword at his waist and waved it "Xiuxiu", "Whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed!"
Sighing helplessly, the captain of the escort waved his hand and motioned for the knights to move on.
At this moment, a knight at the end of the team suddenly turned his head and pointed to the sky behind him, and reminded in a trembling voice, "Be careful, there is, there is ......"
"What'sโ" Cavins asked impatiently. But the moment he turned his head, his voice froze instantly.
"Dragon ......," the knight shuddered, and said the last word.
Above the sky, a fiery red dragon stretched its wings and soared into the sky.
At such a distance. They can still feel that the majestic coercion is coming out of thin air, which makes people tremble.
"Run, into the woods!" shouted the Commander, his eyes narrowed. As everyone knows, the only dragon knight on the continent is Viscount Davide of Snowton. Not sure though. Whether he had discovered himself or not, but escaping into the woods and hiding was the only viable option at the moment.
Life and death were at stake, and no one said a word, so they urged their mounts and quickly rushed to the woods not far away. If the dragon knights had just passed by, and they had hid in time, they might have been able to save a life.
Just a mile or two, if placed in normal times. A galloping horse takes only a minute. At the moment, however, the horses were also exhausted, especially Cavins, who used his suckling strength to whip the mount, but it backfired, and the horse's speed gradually slowed down, apparently on the verge of limit.
"Run, you!" said a frightened Cavins. I am afraid that the next moment, I will be bitten to death by a dragon that fell from the sky. He had forgotten. How much I cherished this thoroughbred horse before, my backhand was a sword, piercing the horse stock.
The horse neighed in pain and leaped forward. As soon as Cavins showed a slightly relaxed look, his hooves suddenly went limp, and he fell to his knees.
Caught with one's pants down. The Baron enjoyed the sensation of soaring through the clouds, and then fell heavily to the ground. The knights rode past him without looking back.
"Come back, help me!" Cavins screamed, but no one responded.
No, the dragon. Responded.
Long Wind Hunting.
Davide liked the feeling, the feeling of stepping on everything under his feet.
Those little insects on the ground are still struggling uselessly, don't they understand that these are useless?
Your life and death depend only on my mood. Davide smiled coldly and gave the order to land.
The dragon roared, folded its wings, and swooped down like an arrow. Their bodies are strong enough to withstand the backlash of a rapid fall, which gives dragons the ability to fly as well as birds.
At a distance of only a few tens of meters from the ground, the dragon spread its wings again. The wind was blowing, and it swept almost against the ground, and several knights who could not dodge were knocked away from a distance, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
The remaining knights scattered and fled, letting fate decide who would survive. They split into dozens of strands and quickly ran towards the woods so as not to be caught in one fell swoop.
"What a witty bunch. Davide had a mocking smile on his face. He rode the dragon and flew up, hovering low in the air, and neither team pursued him.
By the time they arrived, they had all taken refuge in the oak forest, and the dragon had flown over the forest. However, through the dense canopy, it is impossible to find the location of the knights.
Then I won't look for it......
Davide blew the dragon flute, and the dragon took a deep breath, and the gaps in the scales between his belly lit up with a fiery red sheen. It lowered its head, opened its mouth, and a fiery dragon's breath spewed across it.
A raging fire rose from the roar of horses and the screams of men. After this fire, I am afraid that less than one-third of the knights can survive.
The dragon turned around and landed, and Cavins, who was struggling to escape, suddenly froze his hands and feet, and did not dare to move.
"What's it called?" The dragon lay on the ground, its hideous head down. Davide, who was dressed in gold-plated armor, revealed his figure and asked indifferently.
"Cavins, Baron. Cavins replied honestly.
"Where are you going?" Davide was like a cat, teasing the mouse under his paws.
"The city of Severa," Cavins said respectfully, "my city, which had been captured by your army a few days ago, had to retreat south. โ
"Retreat?" Davide couldn't help laughing, this guy would really put gold on his face, he thought about it, and then asked, "I heard that Severa has been sealed down and no one is allowed to enter or leave, are you sure that you will open the city gate?"
"I, my father...... It's a distant cousin of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, maybe he can ask for some affection," Cavins stammered and added, "Besides, Xilin County will fall soon, and only the capital city of Severa will be able to guarantee safety for the time being." โ
"Really?" Davide smiled playfully and soothed, "Don't worry, I didn't plan to kill you, and I didn't want to use you to make money to open the city gates, you don't have that much face......"
"Thank you for not killing. Cavins knelt down and kowtowed.
"I'm the kindest of people," Davidra said, kicking his legs hard and taking off, "Since you're so polite, I'll give you a ride." โ
Before Cavins could react, he suddenly felt a tightness around his waist and immediately rose into the air.
The cold wind cut his face, and the dragon's sharp claws rested on his ribs. Suddenly understanding the meaning of "giving you a ride", Cavins turned pale, his eyes blackened, and he fainted instantly.
