Chapter 273. To infighting the attackers
Among the rolling sand dunes, 10 mysterious men shrouded in leather robes and hoods waited quietly, and the 10 horses behind them stood like puppets, their eyes blank and extremely tired.
At the end, a mysterious man with a hood spoke, his tone a little anxious: "The spell won't last too long, if we can't get rid of Kant in the next 12 hours, then I suggest retreating immediately, otherwise we'll have to walk out of this damn desert on two legs." ”
"That's your problem." The mysterious man at the head spoke, and his tone was indifferent: "You are responsible for the horse you are riding, and if there is a problem, it is naturally your responsibility, I hope you can be mentally prepared." ”
"Oh, shit!"
The last mysterious man was enraged, raised the staff in his hand, and said in an angry voice: "Don't think I'm afraid of you, you must know that if someone didn't pay a high price, otherwise with my identity, I should be drinking the best black tea and enjoying delicious desserts in the mage tower!" ”
"It's a rule of your life, you don't need to say more." The mysterious man led by Ke was not afraid at all, his tone was still indifferent, and his voice was steady: "But if something goes wrong, you will also pay the price." ”
"You're threatening me." The man's eyes narrowed, and the jewel-encrusted staff was raised.
"Threats? No, you're mistaken, I'm just telling the truth. ”
The mysterious man at the head didn't seem to be aware of the elemental power in the air, and said lightly: "There are many mages in the mage tower, and my master has paid the price to invite you, so you have to play your corresponding value." After a pause, he slowly turned his head and looked indifferently at the mysterious man at the back: "Also, shut your grumbling mouth, otherwise you won't be able to return to your mage tower alive." ”
"You..."The mysterious man at the back gritted his teeth, and at the top of the staff in his hand, a dark red light was born in the gem, like a flame contained in it, which could burst into a terrifying scorching flame at any time.
But in the end, he was not released.
With a cold snort, he lowered his staff with great indignation, and stood behind with a cold face and stopped talking.
But the atmosphere in the team eased.
The mysterious man at the head had a calm face, but there was a little more mockery in his eyes.
For these mages in the tower, the mages who live a superior life and like to study magic fight to the death on the battlefield, and the training ground has a great knight with an excellent physique who has a strong melee attack.
That's right, he's a great knight with mysterious and transcendent powers.
Within a distance of less than 3 meters.
Even if it's for this mysterious fire mage to cast a spell first.
The end result was still that he survived.
Because of such a short distance, he arrived in an instant, drew his sword and swung it, and it was very easy for him to kill this self-defeating and empty-eyed mage.
It's just that you have to worry about the next task, and you need this mage to help.
Including the other 8 mysterious people behind him, they are all outlaws and strong men recruited by the master at a huge cost and price, in order to kill Baron Kant, who is about to pass by on this road and is protected by many elite cavalry, it is a mission that can only succeed and not fail!
If it weren't for this reason, he would have easily killed this mage a long time ago, after all, in close combat, even a high-level mage is not an opponent of him, an ordinary great knight.
Others sat on the sidelines.
They are gathered because of interests.
To tell the truth, even this task was overkill, and it could be easily accomplished.
It's just a matter of killing a small nobleman.
is still known throughout the country, banished in the desert, the youngest son of the most unfavored duke.
Baron Kant.
I'm afraid that if they killed this baron, they would be careful and probably not be wanted, and perhaps burying the body in the desert would make it unclear to others whether this baron had absconded incognito, out of the cruel environment of the Naren Desert, or if he had really been killed.
Now the public opinion of the Lion Principality is mainly about when this Baron Kant died in the Naren Desert and when he escaped from the Naren Desert, as for the so-called development, it is really laughing to death.
Can the ghost place of the Narun Desert still develop?
Oh, and the salt mine was discovered.
But even if this salt mine appears, it is not for this banished baron to set foot in!
So they all stood quietly waiting, looking at the path of the camel's footprints outside the sand dunes at their feet, and knowing that the next step was Kant's procession coming.
In this regard, their hearts were relaxed, and some people turned their heads to look at this barren desert boredly, especially feeling that with the appearance of the sun, the temperature became hotter and hotter, and the cold at night was almost cold, and they were secretly glad that they did not fall into this environment to survive, and everyone described the Naren Desert, it was really as terrifying as hell.
The mysterious man at the head also sighed in his heart, such a place, there would be a salt mine, and the fine white salt produced by it was no less than the high-grade white salt purchased from the dwarf kingdom.
The interests are moving, and the heart of greed is suddenly rising.
That's why the master behind him made this choice.
Command them remotely and take out Kant, the titular lord, and the chaotic situation will be beneficial for the lord behind him to enter this desert and seize the salt mine!
Squinting slightly, this mysterious knight raised his head, and on the sand dunes in the distance, a group of black dots appeared, galloping quickly on the undulating sand dunes in the sun, and occasionally a few bright colors flashed over, looking like polished armor reflecting the sun.
"Here we are." He spoke in a deep voice, one hand already inside the linen robe, and grasped the long sword he carried with him: "Everyone, I think you all understand your mission. ”
"Of course."
Answers came from behind him, including the cold snort of the mysterious mage at the rear.
But no one cares about that now.
They slowly reared back, riding on the backs of bloodshot, glazed-eyed, seemingly extremely tired, but still energetic steeds, and rounded the dunes to lay in ambush, ready for a surprise attack.
Their plan was perfect, in fact, if it were anyone else, they would have fallen into this trap.
Kant was different.
He has been warned by the system.
Running all the way, not only himself, but even the 33 Swadia Royal Knights behind him, as well as the remaining 70 Svadia Knights, all cheered up and watched the front, wings and rear with extreme vigilance.
And when they climbed over the sand dunes under their feet and officially entered the more complex and continuous sand dune area, the royal knights, whose eyes were strengthened and could see far away, instantly spotted the 10 mysterious people who were riding their horses and planning to move behind the sand dunes, and immediately reported them.
"Your Majesty Kant, if you don't guess wrong, those people are the attackers."
The captain of the royal knights spoke.
In a short period of time, they have been divided into 3 standard combat squads according to 11 people and 1 team.
This makes it easier to command.
At the same time, when engaging the enemy, you can disperse and break through in a concentrated manner, which is the traditional routine of heavy cavalry.
As experienced top heavy riders, these royal knights certainly have excellent combat qualities, such as forming their own teams and protecting Lord Kant in wartime, which is a must-have measure that does not need to be said.
"Okay." Kant nodded.
He also saw a black shadow disappearing in the distance from the sand dunes.
However, with his knightly body, he still sees vaguely, only because he is vigilant and focuses on the terrain in front of him to notice a little, otherwise according to the appearance of casual looks on weekdays, he will definitely not be able to find it.
Now that you have found out, you can react now, and the heavy cavalry led by Kant at present are all elite!
The royal knights are the elite of the elite!
The owner of supernatural powers!
3 teams of royal knights, each with 2 teams of knights, slowly dispersed in this desert.
The hooves of the war horse under the crotch trampled on the sand layer heavily, but due to the softness of the sand layer itself and the blessing of the system, it would not completely sink into the horse's hooves, so the sound of the war horse galloping was very slight.
Although it does not take advantage of the speed of the plain land and stone roads.
But the concealment is extremely increased.
If it was plain land or stone roads, the roar would have vibrated the eardrums and resounded through the sky.
Kant himself led 10 knights forward.
Their speed remained the same, still giving those attackers the appearance that they had not discovered, but outside the dunes on both sides, the royal knights and knights who surrounded the past in a long dragon formation were faster.
In particular, the 33 royal knights, like the head of a long cone, easily rode their horses and galloped between the dunes, and the military horses under the simple crotch seemed to have mysterious power, stepping on the sand layer at a very fast speed, throwing off the bosses of those ordinary knights, and in the shortest possible time, they arrived at the predetermined encirclement location.
And Kant and they are only halfway there.
The distance between the two sides is approaching.
The royal knights and knights who entered the anti-ambush site also began to move quietly in the low-lying part of the dune.
All walked in preparation.
Including the mysterious attackers behind the dunes, who were a little confused.
They were very sure that the number of cavalry they saw and the information they received to protect Kant should be very large, definitely different from the current 11 people, the number is pitiful.
A little surprise appeared in everyone's hearts.
But as Kant approached, they suppressed their amazement.
It's just an ordinary heavy cavalry, maybe there is a knight level, but with just the 10 people here, which one is not an existence with extraordinary power, as long as you are careful, you can destroy this group of guys in minutes!
This is not arrogance, but the confidence brought by strength!
It's just that.
At the end, the mysterious mage with the staff in his hand had a bit of resentment in his eyes under the mask.
swept over the group of guys in front of him, and his heart was even more humiliated.
Suddenly, he had a way to complete the task perfectly and solve his own troubles secretly!
The fire elemental jumps at the fingertips.
The expert-level fire bolt is ready.
If the opportunity allows, he will pretend to miss inadvertently, so that this spell that can pierce the armor and explode inside the body will appear behind the extraordinary knight who is the leader.
If you offend a noble mage, you must accept the punishment you deserve!
