Chapter 57: Attack
Perhaps because he regards these things as his own, Ormando is quite serious these days, riding his horse every day to patrol, and seems very responsible.
Chen Heng saw all this in his eyes, just smiled and did not speak.
They kept going and going.
The road of this world is very difficult.
This is one thing that is obvious.
In modern society, a good road is the blood vessel of blood transfusion, which can greatly speed up the transportation of materials, reduce trade obstacles, and have a good effect on economic growth.
But for the lords of this era, a good path can be profitable or not, but the danger is invisible and tangible.
A road in good condition means that the time required for the enemy's attack is greatly reduced, which means that the risk factor for oneself is greatly increased.
When it comes to economics and commerce, most of these lords know nothing, but they are very sensitive to military threats.
Therefore, in many things, not to mention taking the initiative to build convenient roads, some places will even take the initiative to destroy roads, so as to better hinder the advance of the enemy's army.
In this case, the road conditions of this era can be imagined.
It was obviously not a long distance, but Chen Heng and the others walked for three or four days before they approached the end.
"It's almost ......"
Walking on the road, Baron Cayson spoke: "This is the road I walked when I was young. ”
"From here, a little further on, you will reach Baron Myra's domain. ”
"If nothing else, in a few hours, we'll be there. ”
He said this, and a smile appeared on his face.
"There's word from Baron Myra that he'll bring someone to meet us and take us into his estate. ”
On the side, a young man also spoke.
"That's good. ”
Chen Heng's face was calm, and he nodded with a smile.
At this moment, he was riding on a horse and was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned and subconsciously looked in a certain direction in the distance.
At this moment, through his keen senses, he had sensed that something seemed to be strange in the distance.
"Are you here?"
Feeling this feeling, his face did not change, and this thought flashed through his heart.
Next, the team moved forward as usual.
Perhaps because of the imminent arrival at the destination, everyone in the team is speeding up, wanting to reach the destination as soon as possible and take a break.
But in the process, the accident still happened.
On a small road, the sound of shouting and killing came from a distance, accompanied by a flurry of arrows.
Under Chen Heng's gaze, many people in leather armor emerged from the jungle and rushed towards them quickly.
"It's ...... Thieves?"
Looking at the many figures that appeared in front of him, Baron Kaysen was shocked: "So many?"
The people who appeared in front of him were densely packed, and looking at it like this, the number of people was almost three or four hundred.
Three or four hundred, this may not seem like a lot, but in fact, around here, it is already a very large number.
As far as Chen Heng knew, although the lords in this vicinity would raise troops in captivity, they were not very numerous.
In the hands of each lord, there can be three or four hundred people, which is already considered to be strong.
Just like Chen Heng's father, Baron Kaisen, his hands add up, and there is only a total of two hundred guards.
Any more, and there will be none.
Of course, in general, the lord's guards are warriors, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to ordinary people.
But the people who appeared in front of him were wearing leather armor and even had bows and crossbows in their hands, and they didn't seem to be ordinary thieves.
For this trip, Baron Casen deliberately brought out half of his guards, about a hundred people.
Even with the surrounding laborers who were responsible for transporting goods, there were less than two hundred.
In addition, they have experienced a long journey at the moment, and their physical strength is very exertional, but the other party is deliberately ambushed here, waiting for them here.
The gap is even more pronounced.
Baron Kaysen's face turned pale, but at this time, he had no choice.
Riding on his horse, he drew his sword and led his guards to the front.
Moments later, the two were at war together.
Two different teams collided, and the area instantly became a battlefield.
The sounds of fighting were intertwined in this place, and from time to time screams could be heard.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Heng's face was calm and he looked to the side silently.
Ahead, Ormando was also fighting those men at the moment.
Of course, it was not that he was heroic enough, but that he was forced to do so.
Earlier, he was riding on the periphery of the group, and it happened that those people rushed up, and even if he wanted to turn around and run, it was a little too late.
At this moment, he rode a horse to confront several thieves who were also riding horses, and he could cope with it for a while.
Although it seems to be a bit depraved recently, Ormando is from the Guard after all, and he has some foundation, plus he has good equestrian skills, so he can still support it for a while.
But that's it.
As for the thieves in the distance, in Chen Heng's opinion, they were just ordinary.
Maybe for an ordinary lord like Baron Kaisen, these thieves are already elite, but for Chen Heng, these are just like that, not very remarkable.
Riding a horse to guard Baron Kaisen's side, Chen Heng's face was calm, and he silently raised his hand.
Beside him, his subordinates immediately understood and raised a small flag.
On the small flag, there is a mark belonging to the Chen Heng family.
Suddenly, all around, the black-haired slave who was originally hiding behind the carriage seemed to receive some signal, and immediately rushed into the carriage on the side excitedly, and took out his own equipment from the carriage.
Taking advantage of the guards in front, they quickly drew their weapons and rushed forward.
Because he had prepared for this situation in advance, as early as beforehand, Chen Heng had let everyone put on leather armor, and now he had saved some effort.
The same is true of Baron Kaysen's guards.
The only two people present who did not wear armor were Baron Cayson himself and Ormando.
Baron Kaysen, because of his thin body, would be uncomfortable even wearing light leather armor, so he did not wear it.
As for Ormando, sheer disdain.
He has never dealt with Chen Heng, and he looks down on Chen Heng's predecessor, Kailin, so he is also very uninterested in his proposal.
According to what he said before, he was about to go to Baron Myra's territory, and what did he have to do in heavy armor?
When he said this, Chen Heng just smiled and didn't say anything.
I don't know if he regrets it now.
Chen Heng didn't bother to think about it.
At this moment, he raised his head, looked ahead, and then directly raised the sword in his hand and charged forward.
