The horses neighed, and everyone fell silent. The clatter of hooves came from the carriage ahead, and a knight in gilded heavy armor urged his horse toward the rear.

It's legendary.

The clatter of hooves slowed, and the hot breath exhaled from the gaps in the knight's mask left water droplets on the square helmet, which slowly dripped down the feather decorations on the helmet.

From a distance, the mercenary leader seemed to be waiting for something, while several mercenaries, having already put on their helmets, had placed their hands on the weapons on the other side of the carriage.

"The twin flowers have bloomed, but the road ahead is blocked by monsters."

The heavy armored knight brandished his lance, planted it in the ground, and braced his shield against the side of his horse. He then waved to the cavalrymen behind him.

"Everyone, take a break!!"

At the attendant's command, the entire squad of knights planted their lances in the ground, quickly jumped off their horses, and removed the armor chains from their mounts.

The atmosphere seemed to have eased somewhat, but the mercenaries in front all drew their weapons and stood behind the carriage one by one.

Upon closer inspection, the rider, after dismounting, turned his horse in a different direction, with its head facing the mountain wall.

Is a fight about to break out?

A fight is about to break out!

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened as he saw five knights near his carriage. They were all tall, heavily armored guards, perfect for resisting the orcs' charge.

"Raine!"

"Raine!"

As soon as Lin Feng spoke, Ma Er spoke at the same time. In that brief moment, their eyes met, and the two of them confirmed their thoughts.

The next second, countless icy breaths erupted from the spellbook beside Lin Feng, engulfing the legs of the five knights and freezing their movements. Immediately afterward, Renn and three orcs charged forward with their shields, while Mar, following behind them, mercilessly swung his axe, felling all five to the ground.

"Line up!"

The servants' icy voices echoed through the passageway. The seemingly relaxed knights quickly raised their shields and lances, whipping up gusts of cold, murderous wind that blocked the orcs from entering the three carriages.

call!

The mercenaries behind the carriage all stepped forward, their fierce killing intent, unlike that on the battlefield, immediately rushing towards the heavily armored knights behind the knights' ranks.

Pairs of eyes glowing green, blades gleaming with cold light, the gusts of wind and killing intent rising from the throngs of people all halted before an invisible wall.

"Ofina, your subordinates are quite impulsive."

The heavily armored knight turned his helmet, his cold eyes flashing through the darkness within, and suddenly laughed: "Do you have any extra hay?"

"have..."

The mercenary leader, Ophina, let out a heavy sigh, raised her finger and moved it, signaling several mercenaries to drag out several haystacks from the carriage.

The knights who had been cut down got up again, angrily shoving aside several orcs, and walked towards their ranks one by one.

The orcs' axes dented their thick armor, but did not cause any real damage.

Chuck cautiously appeared beside Lin Feng and quietly made a few hand gestures to everyone, which calmed the situation down.

Before long, the knights lit a campfire inside the mountainside, took out the food they carried, and sat down one by one next to the heavily armored knights. The knights who had been knocked down finished talking in hushed tones and looked at the only carriage that stood out from the rest of the caravan, which was also carrying Lin Feng and the others.

The caravan slowly passed by, and Lin Feng only stepped out of the carriage when the knights were out of sight.

But soon, the sound of hooves came from behind the road, and two lightly armored scouts urged their horses on, stopping a hundred meters away.

"My lord mage, the captain asked me to tell you that he thanked you just now." Chuck quickly ran over from the carriage in front, grabbed the handrail at the back of the carriage, and squeezed inside.

"Also... the twin flowers have bloomed. In case monsters appear ahead, the captain wants the two mages to rest in the carriage in the middle."

Chuck peeked out and glanced at the knights following behind, then said to Lin Feng again, "The commander wants you to keep the orcs in check. If a battle breaks out, she hopes you can get the orcs to stop the knights' charge."

"Um..."

Lin Feng nodded, glanced at F. Rost, and jumped off the carriage.

Orcs, knights, mercenaries—everyone was calculating things clearly at this moment; there was no such thing as unwarranted friendliness.

"My lords, this carriage will be used to draw the attention of the Knights. The Grand Master has already prepared another carriage for you ahead." Chuck finished speaking quickly and led the two away from the carriage.

Before long, the convoy finally drove out of the passage on the cliff and arrived at the top of a flat mountain.

Looking around, the messy hoofprints on the ground pointed to a desolate area in the distance, with all kinds of armor scattered everywhere, spears, shields and swords stuck all around, and several torn Gordon Das banners being blown by the cold wind, revealing their patterns.

"This team came down from another mountain range."

"That mountain range leads to the Mage Tower..."

The information gathered from the investigation spread among the team.

"There are dead bodies all around the mage tower, and... we found Lord Monta's head inside the mage tower."

Their gazes followed the road up the mountain range, and soon they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, quickening their pace. Their direction was on the other side of the mountain; they would descend along the edge of the mountain range until they reached the other side, continuing along the edge of the deep valley.

“They won’t let us go.” Renn looked behind him and spotted more knights emerging from the passage in the distance.

They've had a good rest.

"Don't worry, they won't attack us now." Mar gripped his axe tightly, the cold glint in his eyes sending a chill down Lin Feng's spine.

"accelerate!"

"The commander said we must reach the first rest stop tonight!"

Chuck ran over, breathlessly finished speaking, and then ran back.

They couldn't possibly rest on such a flat mountaintop; they would have to reach an area that was easy to defend and difficult to attack before they dared to sleep with peace of mind.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng quickened his pace, leaped onto the carriage, and looked at the road ahead.

A moment later, he rejoined the group, his eyes meeting Mal's several times, and he couldn't help but strengthen his resolve: "At this rate, we can't escape."

"Um..."

Mar nodded calmly, just like an ordinary dockworker, and struggled to keep up with the group.

At this moment, Renn was somewhat tempted and took the initiative to ask, "Mage, do you want to ambush them?"

"I do have a few ideas, but it depends on what the leader is planning." Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to Ma Er, and he ignored the question as if he were talking to himself.

"If we leave a squad of assassins to ambush on the mountain, it might be of some use."

"But... we can't take them down in one fell swoop. Even if the ambush is successful, the Gordon Das Empire will still be on our radar."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Raine became furious: "So we're just going to wait for them to attack us?"

"Of course not, at least we still have time." Lin Feng shook his head. He was unfamiliar with this place, and perhaps Ophina had already thought of a way to shake off this group of knights.

Even if you manage to shake them off, as long as you're on this path, you might not be able to escape it.

If the opposing team doesn't have a legendary player...
