Section 2: Rescue

After letting Henry join the rest of the soldiers first, Lance walked briskly to the depths of the castle.

He went to his room, opened the desk drawer, and took a small cloth bag hidden in the dark compartment with him, and then he took the short sword with him and hurried out of the room.

"Master Lance!"

In the corridor, a panicked look flashed on the oncoming Bonnie's face: "I heard them say that you are going to take the soldiers to deal with the monsters?"

Lance smiled lightly: "Take it easy, I'm just taking people to save people, and I don't have to go head-to-head with those monsters." ”

"Then can you wait for Lord Viscount to come back?" Bonnie bit her lip, her eyes flashing with concern.

The gossip in the castle always spreads extremely quickly, and in fact, the very moment Lance rescues Henry back to the castle, the news that the soldiers of Polona's squad are besieged by the Frost Goblin immediately spreads. Naturally, Bonnie got the news very quickly.

"Of course not. Lance smiled dumbly, "Bonnie, I'm a wizard, trust me, I'll be back soon." ”

With that, he strode out of the castle, and the girl was silent, just silently watching Lance's back.

......

In front of the castle, the three squads of soldiers had already assembled, and under the explanation of Adjutant Potter, everyone understood what was happening.

All the soldiers' faces were full of seriousness, demonized monsters were not child's play, and their trip would definitely be quite risky. Otherwise, Poirot, who is known for his strong swordsmanship, would not even be trapped in it.

"In a moment, Master Lance will choose a small group of men and horses among you to join him to rescue Poirot and the other brothers, so please be ready for battle. The viscount is no more, and the glory of the realm will be defended by you!" said Potter solemnly.

Although he was not optimistic about Lance, he believed in Henry very much.

"Henry said that Young Master Lance personally shot the three-headed demonized frost goblin, it shouldn't be fake. After Young Master Lance became Lord Amman's apprentice, his unfathomable strength was understandable. Let's hope he succeeds this time. Potter thought to himself. It stands to reason that he should stop Lance's actions, but with Lance's recent prestige in the castle, Potter would not dare to disobey the will of the wizard. What's more, this wizard is also the son of the castle owner.

Lance walked out of the castle quickly, and when he saw a group of soldiers assembled, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

He stood in front of everyone, glanced at it for a moment, then picked a group of soldiers, and said lightly, "You come with me." ”

The soldiers of the other two teams all showed relaxed expressions. The soldiers chosen by Lance were like great enemies, but under the prestige of the viscount, they did not dare to openly disobey Lance's will, and could only follow Lance with a sad face.

The soldiers of the patrol are the best warriors in the viscounty, but even they are reluctant to deal with demonized monsters.

Everyone knows that the combat ability of demonized monsters is very strange, often immeasurable, and it is impossible to prevent it.

"Wait! I'm going too!"

Just as Lance led the group briskly down the cliff, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Lance frowned.

A tall blond boy chased him out of the castle, with an iron sword in his hand, and said to Lance, "Master Lance, I'm going too." ”

Lance glanced at him and asked, "What is it for?" You should know that this trip is dangerous. ”

Eric cocked his head, "I'm not afraid. Take me with you, my swordsmanship is no worse than that of any of the patrolmen. ”

Lance groaned, "It's okay to take you, but you have to follow my orders." ”

Eric nodded cheerfully.

Lance didn't say more, one more Eric would indeed increase the team's combat ability, after all, this guy was the son of the patrol leader, and no matter how well he used it, it was a good sword.

The group walked briskly down the path down the Wangfeng Mountain Cliff, and they went directly through Shoufeng Town, heading straight to the southern coniferous forest farm.

......

The Viscount's Castle is actually not far from the coniferous forest farms in the south, and the reason why Poirot has spent so long is actually playing hide and seek with the scattered frost goblins.

According to Henry, it took them more than two weeks to find the Frost Goblin's lair, only to be unexpectedly ambushed by a large number of Frost Goblins.

"There are sixty of them," Henry affirmed, "and these frost goblins are definitely prepared. Master Poirot and most of them found a small col to escape the pursuit of the Frost Goblin, but they were trapped inside. I slowed down, and was wounded by a frost goblin. Luckily, I'm smart enough to play dead as soon as I get on the ground. Frost Goblins don't eat the dead. I took advantage of the fact that their attention was all with Master Poirot and them, and fled back in a puff of smoke, but in the process, Lu Dao was still discovered by three brutes and chased me all the way. ”

"If I hadn't met Master Lance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have escaped back to the castle alive. As soon as he said this, Henry's eyes showed gratitude.

The soldiers who were listening on the side showed solemn expressions. They had also heard some rumors about Lance in the castle these days, but they had never had a chance to see Lance's strength.

Eric listened carefully, and when he heard Henry say that Lance killed each of the three frost goblins with three arrows, the guy couldn't help but interject, "It doesn't look like the demonized frost goblin is not very good! ”

Henry suddenly glared at him: "Little rabbit cub, I taught you your swordsmanship in the first place! I don't know how many catties and taels you have? One-on-one, the demonized frost demon will definitely not be able to take you, but as soon as there are more of them, your pressure will be great." ”

"After the demonization, most of the frost demons have become extremely sensitive, their attack frequency is very fast, and we suffer a lot in hand-to-hand combat. Henry said to the crowd.

The soldiers nodded their heads, they weren't bastards like Eric, and they wouldn't have any emotions to underestimate the enemy.

Eric had a blank nose and could only hang his head in boredom and obediently follow the back of the group. Although he can be regarded as the boss among the teenagers, he is not even as good as a newcomer in the patrol.

He looked at the patrol members with such respect for Lance, and his heart was very unbalanced. Of course, he knew that the reason why the patrol respected Lance so much was because he saved Henry, but in the bottom of his heart, he preferred to believe that it was Lance's status that caused the soldiers to respect him.

"The last time we lost to him, it was just an accident. This time, I'm going to beat him!" Eric swore hard in his heart.

Lance didn't pay any attention to this guy at all, he walked in the middle of the line unhurriedly, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Henry, so when you escaped, did Poirot see them?"

Henry nodded, "They must have seen me escape." At that time I remember that Mistress Poirot made a gesture to me to run back to the castle to bring the rescuers. So I'm sure they're still in that col waiting for our rescue. ”

"We're going to speed up the trip. Lance looked at the sky: "Fight for the valley that made it to the taiga farm before dark." ”

"Your feet ......"

"I'm fine!" Henry gritted his teeth on crutches and quickened his pace.

......

As night fell, the hasty rescue team finally reached Poirot's besieged valley.

They hid behind a raised hillside. Lance poked out his head to detect what was ahead.

"Fox, can you scan the heat energy of the valley ahead?" As far as Lance's eyes could see, it was only a dark blur, and tonight was cloudy and there was no moonlight, so he couldn't see clearly.

"No, you can't. The fox said dryly: "The scanning function of the main chip is limited to the reaction of your body system, I don't have a professional scanning system." ”

Lance nodded, not surprised.

"So, turn on Hawkeye!"

After the Eagle Eye was turned on, Lance's vision was greatly enhanced, and at this time, he finally saw something in the distant valley clearly.

A few frost goblins are wandering around, and inside the valley, there are more monsters, and they keep a certain distance from each other, seemingly loose, but in fact, they are connected.

"Master Lance, what should we do next?" a soldier asked in a low voice.

They couldn't see anything in the valley at all, so they could only clench the sword in their hands, not knowing how to do it.

"Behind these frost goblins, there's obviously a pretty intelligent guy in command. Lance carefully observed the formation of the monsters, and became more and more sure of this. "However, monsters are monsters after all, and demonized frost demons are still low-level creatures, and their ordinary individual intelligence will not improve, so even if someone is restraining them, they will rely more on instinct. ”

I've played so many games in my previous life, and I don't know how to fight monsters?

A smile tugged at the corners of Lance's mouth as he whispered, "I need someone with the courage to step up." ”
