Chapter 179: Siege (Part 3)
"Bang!"
"George!" Claudia pounced on George.
"Mother, mother..." George looked at the arrow nailed to the tree against which he was leaning with a pale face. The tail feathers of the arrow were still trembling.
Just a little more and I'll be dead!
George could hear the constant clacking of teeth.
"Hide behind the tree!" Muller roared, holding the sword in his right hand and swung out a sword energy, forcing back the enemy in front of him, grabbing George and stuffing him behind the tree.
Damn it! If my left arm wasn't injured... these people...
Could it be that these people were really sent by the Earl?
Impossible! There is no reason for the Count to do this!
Muller clenched his teeth and his cheeks puffed up.
This was the third wave of attacks they had encountered in the Whispering Wind Forest since entering Lusen.
In the first two waves of attacks, although they successfully repelled the enemy's attacks and killed many enemies, they also suffered the loss of a knight and two knight squires.
The most important thing is that the first two attacks not only caused them casualties, but those who survived were almost all injured, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Every regular knight and knight's squire is a hero picked from hundreds. It is hard for Muller to believe that just an ordinary escort mission could cause such heavy casualties.
During these three waves of attacks, it was obvious that the other side was not a mob. Although their strength was far inferior to theirs, their numbers were twice as many as theirs, and they were fearless and brave. Even if one of their arms was chopped off, they could pick up their weapons and continue fighting.
Unless fatally wounded.
In a few kilometers, we will be out of the forest. This place is no longer a deserted place, and there are often caravans coming and going. I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect to be attacked again here.
In the previous attacks, they were able to rely on their well-trained formations to support their comrades, but this time, the enemy actually used long-range weapons - bows and arrows!
In this way, they had to be careful of long-range attacks, their formation was forced to be disrupted, and everyone was caught in a dangerous melee.
Judging from the arrows, they were almost all standard arrows, not the homemade arrows used by hunters or dark drow.
They had killed six or seven attackers, but a dozen more were still patrolling nearby, waiting for an opportunity to attack them.
These people are not ordinary bandits!
"Wind-Splitting Slash!" Muller swung out another sword energy, cutting the three attackers in dark green clothes in front of him into six pieces. Oscar next to him was still holding the black dagger, his eyes rolling around, and it was unknown whether he was trying to escape.
"Ah~" A scream was heard not far away. Muller turned his head and saw that a knight who was under siege was hit in the neck by an attacker holding a dagger behind him, and a column of blood spurted out instantly.
"Simon!" Muller was furious. Each of these righteous knights was his good brother. They had fought together for more than ten years. Muller watched each other being killed. He was furious. Just as he was about to rush over to snatch Simon back, four enemies surrounded him silently.
What’s even worse is that two attackers have broken through their defense line and are less than ten meters away from Claudia and George!
The three regular knights and four knight attendants who are still capable of fighting are also in danger!
Simon, who was stabbed in the neck, has not completely lost his life, and the enemies surrounding him are ready to finish him off!
There is no way.
Even if I make no further progress in this life, I can only use that one move.
Muller took a deep breath, a look of determination on his face. He held the sword in his right hand across his chest, and was about to use his trump card, but suddenly saw a whip shadow coming at the attacker who was about to finish off Simon with an afterimage.
“Bang!”
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was the sound of a whip and three bodies falling to the ground.
"You are the ones who caused me to lose so many Golden Dukes? I'll give you a chance. I don't want to kill anyone. If you leave now, I won't hunt you down."
A lazy voice was heard, and Muller looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a tall and burly young man riding on the back of a nearly two-meter-tall two-horned deer with a grass stem stuck in its mouth.
"Lord Gisdruid!?" Muller never thought that he would be relieved and even feel happy when he saw this hateful druid again.
"Lord Gis! Save us!" Claudia leaned out from behind the tree, her eyes full of surprise.
Fang Yu blinked and said, "Excuse me, my beautiful lady. Let me first check on the 5,000 gold dukes."
After saying that, Fang Yu lightly jumped off the deer's back. The three attackers surrounded him without saying a word. Fang Yu didn't even look at them and threw out an arcane missile. The three arcane darts hit the three attackers respectively, knocking them nearly three meters away.
"Well, there should still be hope." Fang Yu thought about it, took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and danced his fingers gently in the air, as if weaving an invisible net.
“Lumen Vitae Reveni!”
As Fang Yu chanted, a transparent deer emitting a soft green light appeared in the air.
The transparent deer emits a soft green light, which flows around its body, as if natural energy is flowing through it.
"Go ahead."
Fang Yu waved his hand, and the transparent deer fell from mid-air and gradually merged with the injured Simon.
As the fawn disappeared, the wound on Simon's neck gradually healed and eventually disappeared.
"Phew~ Thank you, sir." Simon was able to get up after he was healed, but his face was a little pale.
"Be careful!" Simon got up and pulled Fang Yu hard, and a short knife brushed past Fang Yu.
It was one of the three attackers who had just been knocked away by the arcane missile.
"Sir Gis! Be careful, there is something wrong with them! Only if you hit their vital parts will they lose their ability to attack!" Muller warned loudly and quickly.
"Oh?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and picked up the grass stem in his mouth. The grass stem fell on the grass while spinning.
Then, the ground shook and countless vines emerged instantly, tying all the attackers within a radius of twenty meters to the ground.
"Be careful of the bows and arrows!" As soon as Muller finished speaking, he heard three sounds of bowstrings vibrating, and then three arrows shot towards Fang Yu from three different directions.
"Bang!" Three arrows hit two suddenly appearing earth walls at the same time.
"That was a close call." Fang Yu clapped his hands and cast a detection spell. Twenty meters away, the shadows of three archers hiding in the trees were clearly visible in his sight.
"I found you." Fang Yu took a deep breath and opened his mouth suddenly.
"roar!"
Fang Yu let out a dull roar, occasionally with the rumbling sound of thunder and lightning. Everyone who heard the sound felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. Several knights and attendants even retched a few times and collapsed to the ground.
The three archers on the tree also swayed, and two of them fell down with two thuds, and were tightly tied up by the vines that grew out from under the tree.
"Bang!" Fang Yu made a shooting gesture, pointed his index finger at the archer who had not yet fallen from the tree, and made a sound with his mouth.
The archer who was still on the tree fell down from the tree in an instant, still holding the bow and arrow he had just made in his hand. His eyes were wide open, and there was a thumb-sized hole between his eyebrows, from which blood was flowing.
"Sir Gisdruid, the Belvitt family will never forget your life-saving grace." Muller stuck his sword into the ground, put his hand on his chest, and bowed deeply to Fang Yu.
"No thanks. When you get to Vitrang, give me the ransom immediately. I don't want my property to continue to suffer losses." Fang Yu shrugged. "Besides, whether the Bellvit family has forgotten or not is not up to you, right? Knight Muller?"
Mueller looked embarrassed and was about to say something when he saw Claudia behind the tree, her face covered in tears, running towards him with her skirt lifted.
"Sir Gis! I knew you would come to save me!" Claudia hugged Fang Yu's waist tightly, and her tears instantly wet Fang Yu's coat.
75E, slightly smaller than Tang Yufei, but seems to be a little more elastic.
But it’s really white.
"Ahem, madam, it's about five leagues to Vitren. I see your carriage is wrecked. How about you riding with me on my mount, and George and Chevalier Muller sharing one?"
This plot will not be too long, and the first update tomorrow should end this part of the alien world plot.
I am really getting better and better at writing.
