Chapter 344: Demon Forest

"What's going on, what time is it?" When a ray of warm sunlight sprayed through the green trees onto Diggle's eyes, he finally sensed that something was wrong and cried out.

"Saiya, what time is it?" Although Diggle was not in charge of keeping track of the time, he would not forget that night had just fallen when he met the two travelers, and they asked him where to spend the night.

And at this time, the sun shining in the sky is obviously noon, and it is easy to lose time when marching in dense woods, maybe the direction is not a problem for these local knights, but time is not, so there are partners who are specifically responsible for measuring time, not responsible for vigilance, and Saiya is obviously so.

"Answer me, Saiya." Seya didn't answer, and Diggle felt a little strange, so he asked again.

The conversation between the two caught the attention of the rest of the team, and many of them turned their eyes to the right side of the group, where Saiya was.

The two unsuccessful questionings made Diggle vigilant, and through the layers of the crowd, he saw Saiya sitting on horseback in a daze.

"Why don't you speak!" Digger's anger welled up in his heart, but he did not lose his guard, and he drove forward and poked him with his scabbarded sword.

"Plop!" Saiya's body fell straight to the ground like a wooden stake, and the horses that had suddenly lost their owners felt uncomfortable and scraped their hooves.

"Enemy attack! Beware of concealment! Diggle's reaction was swift, and he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed to the front of the group, taking off a shield hanging from the side, which was not much larger than his head, and putting it on his arm.

However, even if Diggle's reaction was fast, it was impossible to guess that the enemies in the shadows were actually using magic. Because if you look a little closer, he'll find out. There wasn't a single wound on Saiya's body.

There was a commotion in the ranks of the knights. However, after the Magic Mountain left Harrenhal for King's Landing, they also defeated several small bandits, went to the battlefield, and naturally gained experience.

So although the incident happened suddenly, under the coordination of Diggle, they still quickly adjusted their formation, and in a few breaths, they had already become an external formation. The slightly better equipped ones were on the outside, the knights inside spread their bows and arrows, and Diggle formed a charging triangle with several knights who looked very tall.

But don't look at Diggle's lack of panic on the surface, there is still a little drumming in his heart.

A bunch of armed knights passed by, even if the equipment was a little poor, it was a knight with horses, and ordinary robbers and robbers did not dare to stop them at all, otherwise with those robbers composed of poor people, knights would generally come and kill as many as they wanted.

And those who dare to attack them are naturally a large army of knights who are more numerous than them. Once there was a numerical advantage, Digger and these people were nothing. There is no benefit at all.

But after waiting for a while, the large group of people expected by Diggle did not appear, and the surroundings were quiet, not to mention the smoke and dust, and there was no vibration on the ground.

"My lord, what's going on?" Sens, who was on Diggle's side, lowered his voice a little puzzled and asked, Diggle does not belong to the nobles and is not knighted, but he is a knight under Harrenhal, so he can only be called an adult.

Although this is a bit chaotic, at this time, the remote areas of the Riverland and the center of the war have not yet recovered from the Battle of the Five Kings, and the nobles are unwilling to reach out to support them, and they will definitely not be able to do without a certain amount of armed force.

Diggle didn't answer immediately, he was able to lead this small team of knights, and as soon as his head turned, he figured it out a little, "You go and see the wounds on Saiya's body." He said.

The enemy attack is certain, otherwise Saiya would not have died, but it is possible that sporadic enemies carry out sneak attacks, such as archers who are good at using bows and arrows, there are many such people in the Riverlands, who were in a bit of a hurry just now, but they didn't pay attention to how Seya died.

Soon, Sens hurried back and reported to Diggle in a voice lower than before, "Thea is dead, but there is not a single wound on his body, he is really dead." ”

Sens had fought in many wars, and even survived the Battle of the Whispering Forest, but he had never seen such a strange phenomenon, so he deliberately only told SΓΉ Diggle to avoid causing panic.

How do people die without wounds, Diggle really frowned, it can't be starvation, he didn't lose these brothers.

But at this moment, a dark green light suddenly appeared on Diggle's side, and his afterglow seemed to catch this, and he turned sideways to pass it in a moment.

But the Sens beside him was obviously not so lucky, the green light hit his body, spreading like a cloud, and then Sens was shocked, and fell to the ground limply, just like Saiya's death.

The good hands on horseback generally sit very upright, so even if Saiya died just now, he didn't fall off the horse, it was Diggle who poked him, and Sens turned around and spoke, naturally losing his sense of balance a long time ago.

"What's going on!" Diggle was extremely shocked, this time he had seen the death in front of him, but he couldn't figure out where the attack came from.

It's not arrows, it's not bows, what's going on with this vague light, it's flames?

A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Diger's heart, how this is very similar to legendary magic, he has never been to Essos, nor has he come into contact with wizards, but there are many magical legends circulating in Westeros, and people in this era, once they encounter incomprehensible phenomena, they will only think about gods and magic at the first time.

"Full speed ahead! Fast! Fast! Fast! "If it was magic, Diggle didn't want to fight him, he didn't know where the enemy came from, and he didn't find out where the enemy was.

Maybe there is only one person on the other side, but before killing him, how much of this dark green light will emerge, and who dares to guarantee that the unguardable magic will not fall on him.

I'm afraid that the sunlight in the sky for no reason is also a ghost of magic, and Digger already has fear in his heart, this forest is too weird.

Because of the magic, Diggle noticed the strangeness of the forest, the delicious flowers and green trees, the slight fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, making the forest look as beautiful as a picture.

But beauty is beauty, and Diggle can be sure he's never found this forest near Harrenhal, where he grew up.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and made a gesture to the others, and then drove his horse to run, and the knights around him did not dare to fall behind when they saw that Diger was suddenly ready to hurry, and followed one after another.

For a moment, the wind blew around Diggle, and the only sound in his ears was the chaotic hooves of his subordinates, and the whirring of the war horse, but Diggle did not dare to slow it down.

His afterglow seemed to see that kind of magic reappearing, so he hurriedly lowered his body, fortunately, this kind of attack was not too much, and there were only a few times along the way, and when the green light did not appear again at the end, Diger finally felt that it was almost there.

"Stop." He slowed his pace and slowly stopped, but as soon as he stopped, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

There were countless sounds of horses' hooves in his ears just now, which meant that his men had been following him, but as he reined in his horses, all the sounds of horses' hooves almost stopped abruptly.

Diggle didn't think his men had such good skills, so that meant ...... Sure enough, Diggle looked back, only to find that there was no one behind him.

Closing his eyes, Diggle urged his mount again, but there was only one horse, but there was a sound of dozens of horses, and Diggle felt bitter in his heart, knowing that this was probably another trick of witchcraft.

"The ominous smell of death." Diggle thought of what the strange traveler had said, and why such a strange thing had happened to him today.

Although Diggle was terrified, he still gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head, if there was no one left, the fate of his return would not be much better.

Fearful of magic, Diggle thought to himself, "Alain! Porter! Rulas! He called out his men's names as he surveyed the environment, by which time Diggle had put his own life on the line.

I don't know how long I walked, but Diggle felt as if he had returned to the place where Seya had died, but he still hadn't found any of his men, not even a single corpse.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be an unusually large tree in front of him, so he immediately stepped forward and found a direction that was not backlit, and Digger narrowed his eyes, and soon saw the thing clearly, and then his eyes widened.

Shocked by the scene in front of him, Diggle didn't even notice that the round shield on his arm had slipped off, it was an unusually tall tree, as thick as three people in an encirclement, but this tree was not made of wood, but was made entirely of human flesh and blood.

The thick trunk of the tree is the mutilated body of a human being huddled together, obviously it has been squeezed and deformed and rattling, and even the internal organs are hanging out in the air, but it still does not collapse and overflow, and even maintains the columnar shape of the trunk.

The branches were the stumps of the human body, strings of blood were still dripping down the fingertips and soles of the feet, the branches were full of budding fruits, and the hair was wrapped around the fingers, which were the familiar human heads under Diggle.

"The gods are above! The gods are above! Diggle's lips trembled, and he couldn't stop babbling. (To be continued......)
