The Wizard World

Angelet's face turned livid. Follow them one by one.

Of the five bandit leaders, the lowest one is a mid-level knight-level strongman, and the rest are all peak-level ones. Moreover, more than a dozen of their guards are knight-level.

In the opposite team, only two of the three knights are at the peak level. No wonder such a strong force was surrounded.

And Angelet noticed that these robbers' attack methods were very formal, and they seemed to be well-trained. Obviously, it was not a robber at all, but a regular army of a certain country pretending to be a robber.

Angelet already had the expected result in mind. Immediately turn back quickly and return to the original road. Soon returned to the convoy of the Baron and others. The baron was also surprised when he heard the situation ahead. Immediately, everyone decided to take a detour and walk sideways from the woods to the Anser Grassland. Hoping to hide from the army of posing as bandits ahead.

"It must be the frontier army of the Kingdom of Uxus!" the baron said with an ugly face on the road. "Seeing that our Rudin is weak, they seem to be tempted. They pretended to be robbers and came in to rob the fleeing nobles. The besieged convoy was probably an official who escaped from Rudin's big city. The three peak knights, unexpectedly They were all surrounded and couldn't get out."

Angelet's mood was also raised in his throat, and he was in a panic. He listened intently to the sounds around him. I'm afraid that those robbers will find the convoy and catch up.

Just now, he casually glanced at the bandits who seemed to be small soldiers, and found that at least three of the ten soldiers had the physical fitness of reserve knights. This is obviously not just for robbery, maybe it is also for training soldiers by the way. At the reserve knight level, five or six knights can be equivalent to a near knight. Coupled with the force of the bandit leaders, if they were discovered, the convoy would definitely have no hope of escaping.

Only then did he realize that the so-called knight class belonged to the strong, and it was a concept only found in rural areas like the Leo Territory.

In a family in a big city, it is estimated that it is not difficult to train a large number of reserve knights, and it is not uncommon for dozens of them to appear.

Outside the bandit formation. The five chiefs were watching the riders of the convoy with great interest. A bandit in a turban came running from behind and reported loudly.

"Lord Ceylon, my lords, just now there was a kid hiding behind the forest and watching for a while, it may be a young soldier who came to scout."

"Young soldier?" A bald man laughed, "These little bastards of Rudin like to play tricks like this. Custer, do you go or I go?" He turned his head and said to a leader on the right.

"You go. Hurry up, don't waste time. If the rendezvous with the legion commander is late and the members of the Rudin royal family run away, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility." The leader said calmly. Gives a very elegant feeling.

"Hey! It will be resolved within twenty minutes! What kind of master can there be in such a backward small place." The bald man spat in disdain. A giant machete hanging from the side of the horse was pulled out and raised high.

"Five people, Anker, Hesses, come with me!"

"Yes! Lord Ceylon." Behind the leader, two knights stepped forward on horseback. They were all strong men in black and green leather armor. One of them held a broad-edged sword in his hand.

"Anyway, it's okay, I'll go too." Another bandit leader suddenly stepped out on his horse.

Ceylon glanced at the man. "Olysses, are you determined to fight against me?" He said in a bad tone.

The man who came out had a harmless smile on his face, a metal longbow on his back, and a quiver hanging on the horse's side. "How could it be? Lord Ceylon, I admire your bravery and strength."

"Hmph!" A hint of vigilance flashed in Ceylon's eyes. No more talking. With a wave of his hand. "Walk!!"

The two knights followed him. Three healthy horses and more than a dozen cavalrymen quickly turned and ran back. Extremely fast.

Olysses caught the horse's belly and quickly followed. "Master Ceylon, with us two peak knights, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think someone can escape from me, Olysses?" His voice was soft and sharp, and it sounded very uncomfortable. comfortable feeling.

But Ceylon and the others in front ignored him at all. On the contrary, the speed is faster.

***********************

In the middle of sparse woods.

A convoy of three black carriages was slowly passing through the forest. The gaps between the trees were very wide, and they did not cause any hindrance to the progress of the carriage.

In the convoy, there were no loud voices. Everyone had nervous expressions on their faces. Even the soldiers walking beside the carriage seemed extremely nervous. Throughout the convoy, only the occasional puffing sound of horses.

Next to the driver's seat of the first carriage in the convoy. A half-grown teenager with short brown hair sat quietly in full armor. In his hand was a black wooden longbow covered with iron. At his waist is a silver cross sword, wearing leather armor, and carrying a quiver on his back. The back waist is also bulging, and I don't know what I'm carrying.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, paying attention to any movement around him. The speed of the carriage is not fast, but it is already the fastest speed that the horse can move forward.

Not long after, a figure followed from behind, and a young man jumped into the carriage and sat beside the boy. This person has long flaxen hair scattered on his shoulders, a strong figure, and a white gauze wrapped around his right eye. It was Baron Kyle Leo.

"Angri, go forward for another ten minutes and turn into Anser Grassland. There will be no records on the map ahead. We can't wander here, or we will easily get lost," the baron said in a low voice.

"Okay, father." Angelet nodded.

He glanced back at the carriage behind him. Looking in from the window of the carriage, the female relatives inside all showed nervous expressions. The soldiers on the side were all tensed up, ready to fight at any time.

*******************

The intersection of forest and grassland.

Accompanied by the clatter of horseshoes. A cavalry team wearing gray turbans soon appeared at the position where Angelet and the others had turned.

Ceylon sat on the horse and glanced at the ground. "Someone came here just now, it should be traces of a carriage." He said in a low voice. "You guys! Go look around!" he shouted.

"No need." Another knight leader, Olysses, said loudly. Get off the horse directly. "Can I find him or your direction?"

Olysses crouched by the edge of the wheel print and took a closer look. "They should have spotted us and wanted to turn sideways to avoid us. Chase there!" He pointed to the direction where Angelet and the others left.

"Hmph!" Ceylon snorted coldly. "As expected of a tracking master. Let's go!" Although he was not convinced, he had to admit that in this respect, Olysses' abilities were beyond his reach.

The cavalry was preparing to leave. Suddenly there was a neighing of horses and the sound of wheels rolling from afar. The density of the sound is very conspicuous.

A gleam of joy appeared on the faces of Olysses and Ceylon at the same time. "It's a big convoy! There are big fish! At least a dozen carriages!" Olysses excitedly said.

Ceylon machete in one fell swoop. "Hasses, Anker, take a few people to block the convoy that ran away! The rest follow me!" He grabbed his horse's belly and rushed out quickly.

Olysses is not to be outdone. "Do you want to take credit for it all?" He laughed sinisterly, and followed closely.

Anker and Heses watched the two adults leave quickly, taking away most of the centaurs, leaving only four cavalry behind. They are all helpless.

"Let's go. Let's intercept that convoy." Haises shook his head and said. "Hopefully that team isn't very strong."

"What are you afraid of? Brothers are all carrying good things." Anker laughed. He took out a brown crossbow from behind and shook it.

The rest of the cavalry also laughed easily, and each took out a crossbow from the horse's weight bag. "As long as we put away the arrows afterwards, no one will know it was us." Anker said casually.

"In this way, there is nothing wrong with it." Hyses also nodded. "Walk."

A group of cavalry quickly chased towards the woods.

*******************

Sitting in front of the carriage, Angelet's expression suddenly changed slightly. The reminder of the chip number zero sounded in the ear. "I found the sound of horseshoes in the rear, and the number of six cavalry is rapidly approaching."

"Sure enough, he was discovered." His face darkened. Jump out of the carriage at once. shouted. "Convoy keep going! Don't stop!"

The guards on the side of the convoy became more and more nervous, but good discipline made everyone strictly obey orders. keep going. No one spoke.

The baron saw his son jump out of the car, and realized that something might be wrong. "What's the matter Angelet?"

"Father, someone is catching up from behind. I'll stay and delay them. You guys continue on your way." Angelet said flatly.

The baron also jumped out, and another man took over the driving. He walked directly to Angelet. "I'll stay, you go up!"

"It's okay. I just shot a few cold arrows from a distance, and I can catch up in no time." Angelet smiled. "Father, go up first. I won't confront them head-on. I have small goals and can easily escape."

The baron looked at him intently. He also knew that in this kind of forest, Angelet, who was good at archery, would have a great advantage. As long as he hid well, he would be fine.

"I'll stay with you." He said in a deep voice.

Angelet said helplessly: "All our family's property is in the carriage, father, you should follow. I'm fine. I'll catch up soon."

The baron frowned, and looked at his son for a while, until the carriage in front was getting farther and farther away, and the sound of horseshoes behind him was getting closer, then he nodded. "Fifteen minutes, if you haven't caught up, I'll come back and find you."

"Okay!" Angelet nodded.

Although the Baron already knew his son's strength, he was still very worried about facing an unknown enemy after all.

Angelet stood where he was, watching the baron quickly catch up with the convoy in front of him. Only then turned around.

Looking at the looming figure of cavalry in the forest. Angelet drew out a white-feathered arrow and put it on the longbow. There was a squeak. The bowstring was suddenly taut. The black metal arrows reflected a faint blue-purple in the sunlight.
