Chapter 72: Fight in the Dark
"Enemy attack! Be careful, there are ambushes on both sides of the road!"
Although more than a dozen guards were shot to the ground, there were still more than fifty people in the convoy, and the two bronze knights leading the team were still intact. After reacting, the two bronze knights jumped off their horses at the first time. In such a narrow environment, if they continued to ride on the horses, they would be sitting ducks.
“Kill! Kill!”
After a wave of arrows, shouts and screams came from the bushes beside the road, and then a large number of masked attackers holding swords rushed out of the woods. These people's equipment was no worse than that of the caravan members. They all wore leather armor and some even wore helmets.
Everything happened so suddenly that no one could react, including Gervis.
"Damn it, can I run into someone in the same group when I'm robbing someone?" Gervis was speechless and a little scared, because the number of people rushing out of the woods was almost the same as the number of people in the convoy.
What's even more terrifying is that there are three titled knights in this group, two of whom are low-level bronze knights. As for the other bronze knight, Gervis couldn't see through him, but the aura he exuded was much stronger than that of the high-level bronze knight leading the convoy. Gervis guessed that man might be a top-level bronze knight, only one step away from a silver knight.
At this moment, there was a fierce battle in the middle of the road. From time to time, people were chopped to the ground and let out sharp howls.
Several bronze knights over there were also fighting in a group. The two bronze knights in the convoy had been obviously suppressed, especially the low-level bronze knight, who was beaten by the two masked low-level bronze knights of the other side. He kept retreating and struggling to hold on. He didn't even have a chance to fight back.
"Who are you? This is Viscount Lanny's convoy. Even if you rob something today, you will not have a good ending."
The high-level bronze knight saw that his teammate was being outnumbered two by one and was already on the verge of collapse, but he was unable to help. He himself was also suppressed and dared not be distracted at all. He was now able to fight on equal terms with the opponent's peak bronze knight. He had already used all his strength, and he was also able to take advantage of the fact that he was wearing iron armor, while the opponent only had leather armor.
The attacker ignored his shout and attacked even more fiercely. Suddenly, the swords in the two men's hands intertwined, with sparks flashing from time to time and the sound of clinking clanging constantly in the ears.
"It's so terrifying, where did these people come from?"
Gervis looked at the chaotic fighting scene on the avenue and took a breath of cold air. No matter which side it was, their strength was much stronger than his side.
Gervis clearly saw that the place where the masked man rushed out was only more than ten meters away from his group.
That is to say, if he and his companions had walked forward more than ten meters at that time, they would have met them face to face. Perhaps he would have started fighting with that group of people before they even arrived at the convoy.
"But it's better this way. You guys fight as hard as you can. It would be best if both of you die together. Then I can reap the benefits."
Of course, Gervis knew that he could only think about this kind of thing. Lanny's men were obviously at a disadvantage, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated and fled. Gervis felt that he could not just stand by and watch. He had to at least do something, otherwise he would let down the favor of Boss Rongguang.
Gervis squatted down, waved at Nashen, and whispered in Nashen's ear: "Let's move forward a little and wait at their ambush point. If we see an opportunity, we can rush out. If we don't have a chance, we can wait until they come back to pick up the longbows before we take action."
The opponent's ambush strategy was exactly the same as what Gervis had prepared in advance. They first fired a volley of longbows, then threw away their longbows and everyone rushed forward.
The longbow was dropped in the woods and would definitely have to be picked up later. By that time, the enemy would have finished fighting and would be relaxed, giving Gervis and others a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Hearing what Gervis said, Nashen nodded. In this case, they could indeed give it a try. After the fight, the enemy's ordinary soldiers would not pose any threat at all. The only ones who could pose a threat to them were the three titled knights, especially the top-level bronze knight.
The shouting and killing outside continued, and with the help of these noisy sounds, Gervis and others slowly groped forward. All the people on the road were focused on the enemies in front of them, and did not notice that in the dark jungle, a group of people were ready to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
Soon, Gervis and others reached the front, where they could see more clearly the fight between the bronze knights of both sides.
The low-ranking knight under Lanny was already in danger, as his shoulder had been cut by a sword. Fortunately, he was wearing iron armor and his shoulder guard was also made of iron, which offset a lot of the force and saved him from the fate of having his arm broken. However, facing the force of the titled knight, he was not unharmed. A gap had been cut on the shoulder guard and a lot of blood had flowed from his arm.
This man had already thought of retreating, and he kept looking at the high-level bronze knight, waiting for his order, and then he would abandon the team and go into the jungle.
"Kant, we can't run away, or the Viscount will not spare our family!"
The high-ranking knight was also struggling to hold on, and seeing that Kant was about to retreat, he immediately shouted at him, fearing that Kant would run away. He could not hold on alone, and now he could only pray that the guards in the camp would notice the situation here and come to support him.
When Kant heard his words, his whole body trembled. His eyes, which had been wandering, immediately became sharp, and he let out an angry roar: "I will fight you."
Although Kant shouted loudly, he rolled over to avoid the opponent's sword. He quickly grabbed a handful of sand on the ground and threw it out when the opponent was about to swing the sword to chase him.
The opponent's reaction was not slow either, he immediately retreated to avoid the sneak attack of mud and sand.
Kante took advantage of the gap in the opponent's defense and moved around, coming to the bushes where Gervis was.
When the two masked bronze knights saw Kant flee to the other side, they immediately surrounded him from the left and right. In an instant, the three of them were fighting again. However, at this moment, Kant knew that he could not escape. He had to either kill all the opponents or die under their swords. So he didn't care about anything and started fighting with the opponents, exchanging injuries for injuries. He even relied on his iron armor and simply gave up the defense of some vital points.
The two low-level bronze knights knew that they had a sure win, so they naturally didn't want to fight Kant to the death. As long as they delayed a little, they could find the right opportunity to kill Kant with one blow.
One of them was shocked when he saw that Kant ignored his teammate's sword attack on his back and instead stabbed him in the chest with the sword. He quickly retreated to the back, not caring that there was a dense bush behind him.
Because he retreated too quickly, he tripped over a branch and fell backwards into the bushes. However, he retreated in time and avoided Kant's sword. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up and jump out of the bushes to fight again, but his mouth was suddenly covered by a hand, and then he felt something cold scratched across his neck.
