Riding and Slashing

Chapter 327 When Evil Meets Evil

On the edge of the forest, there are countless fallen people entrenched.

Oswood, who was running in the front, caused a huge commotion as soon as he rushed out - almost all the fallen people turned their heads and rushed towards him.

Oswood's skill is indeed very good, he slashed with a sharp sword in his hand, and cut off two bloody heads with ease.

But no matter how good your skills are, you are afraid of gang fights, especially when you are beaten by a large group of fallen people-these non-human beings are like locusts rushing from all directions, and one person and one sword can't kill the gap, and Oswood fell into it almost instantly. besieged.

"Block them!"

Osswood growled, expecting his men to help him.

However, the dozens of people he brought with him did not save him...

The few people closest to him were also entangled by the Fallen, and most of the other people turned around and ran back immediately when they saw that the situation was not right, completely ignoring the life and death of their boss.

These are people who are accustomed to killing and looting. When they torture civilians together for fun, they will call each other brothers. When they can get benefits, they will commit crimes and share the spoils together. But when it is obvious that they will die, how can they sacrifice? What about yourself?

Osswood was abandoned by his 'brothers'.

Just as he was always used as cannon fodder by the Lion Knights before, when encountering unsolvable difficulties, no one would share the trouble with the terrorists...

But those remnant soldiers who left their bosses and ran back did not survive.

They were blocked by Sir Roland who was chasing after them.

Sir Roland and his troops have been chasing closely behind Osswood. He has not yet left the forest and cannot see the situation outside.

Seeing Oswood's men turn their backs, Roland thought they were going to fight him bravely, so he ordered the troops to stop and besiege and wipe them out, giving these remnant soldiers a good time.

Probably those who insist on justice can indeed be protected by the goddess of justice. If it hadn't been for a while to annihilate these remnants, Roland would have plunged headlong into the sea of ​​fallen people.

Just after killing these remnants, Roland saw a large number of fallen people—these fallen people were pouring into the forest.

"It's too bad... there are also in the back!"

Leonard came running from behind the line.

There were indeed Fallen behind them, and they were the group that had fought against Oswood's troops before, and they had now chased them over.

Although the fallen are not fast, they are now in the forest.

The vision in the forest environment is not good, and vines, shrubs, and fallen leaves will all hinder people's footsteps. It is difficult for humans to outrun the Fallen in this environment. micro.

"Evacuate separately...I will block them!"

Roland raised his sword and faced several fallen people. He planned to buy time for the troops by himself.

There is no fear in the paladin's eyes,

"Run, ma'am...you are too young to die here."

Leonard sighed and said something to Ilano.

Afterwards, he took his five brothers and followed Roland towards the Fallen: "Dawn Knight! Charge!"

But Ilano ignored Leonard, but stood still and shot the crossbow in his hand.

The crossbow was shot in Roland's direction, passed by Roland's side, and nailed it precisely on the head of a fallen man.

The Fallen fell.

Then Ilano raised a short spear and followed Leonard: "I am also a member of the Knights of the Dawn!"

Speaking of which, Ilano is indeed a member of the Dawn Knights now, if Roland is regarded as a real Dawn Knight.

She used to be the servant of Duke Andema, the lord of Dawn Furnace City, the maid of the Duke's daughter Katia, and also Katia's bodyguard.

These days, not all maids are serving tea, pouring water and washing underwear. There are also a few who practice martial arts since childhood, so as to protect their female relatives. Ilano is such a maid who has practiced martial arts since childhood.

After Dawn Furnace was breached, Ilano ran into Sir Roland who was evacuating when he escaped while protecting Katia.

Roland protected them and didn't hand them over to Ursula's people, and sent someone to escort Katia to Ravencrow City-of course the paladin would not embarrass these two innocent girls, no matter who Katia belonged to Daughter, Roland would do the same.

Paladins are different from Leon...

And Ilanor didn't follow Katia to Ravencrow City anymore, she thought that Roland's behavior was a real chivalry, and she wanted to follow a real paladin.

Then, she became Roland's student - Roland did not accept female soldiers, but he was happy to accept an apprentice who voluntarily threw himself into the embrace of the goddess of justice.

Roland's apprentice, of course, will sooner or later become a true Dawn Knight.

Irano didn't run, and in fact most of them didn't.

They silently followed Roland's footsteps and spontaneously formed a battle formation, ready to meet the siege of the fallen.

In fact, their eyes were full of fear, but the spears and swords in their hands remained firm.

These fighters are all followers of Paladin Roland, but none of them are knights, all of them are civilians or even refugees.

Most of them came from the eastern border of Ravens, and some of them were descendants of the Misty Hillmen who had lived in Ravens for a long time.

When Roland was in Darkfalcon Castle, he had been constantly fighting against evil and helping the poor. Since the surrounding villages often faced the invasion of Jatu or Misty Mountain, Roland would often train the villagers in martial arts and battle formations for free, so that they could unite. Protect yourself.

In the past year or so, Jatu people have been carrying out small-scale looting on the eastern border, which is more frequent than in the past few years. sequelae.

Fewer Jatus are heading to Sarleon, but more are coming to Ravensland—Zakar sees the east of Ravensland as his turf.

But as long as the villages are in danger, Roland will always arrive in time.

Most of the surrounding villages have received the favor of Roland, and most of them have a new understanding of faith-only a knight like Roland can be regarded as a real knight.

The people under Roland are all from those small villages.

When Ursula raised troops to attack Dawn Furnace City, Roland prepared to evacuate Dark Falcon Castle according to Leon's instructions, and go to Fox Town to fight against the evil.

And these villagers voluntarily followed Roland at that time. They hoped to follow a real knight, even though they were destined to face all kinds of dangerous enemies in the future.

Their skills are indeed not very good. Only the 19-year-old girl Irano has been trained for a long time, and the others are just amateur fighters who have been trained in the village for a year.

But as long as they follow Roland, they are not afraid of any powerful enemies.

Because they know that they are following true justice.

This is the real Knights of the Dawn.

"Don't stay here to die... wait, what's that?"

Leonard turned his head and said something to Ilano, but then stopped and looked towards the canopy on the side.

"Sir Roland! This way! Come with me!"

With a clear voice, Lisa Dilan swiftly walked among the branches sensitively. The bow in his hand shot an arrow while leaping, and accurately hit a fallen man in front of Roland.

This arrow did not hit the fallen man's head, and the force was not strong, it pierced the fallen man's chest shallowly.

This is just to remind Roland.

Roland finally turned his head, and he saw the Noldor Arrow.

The one who set fire outside the woods before was naturally Lisa Dilan.

Under Li Ang's order, he led the guards to set fire to the south of the forest. After lighting the fire, he was about to call it a day and return, but suddenly he vaguely heard Roland's voice in the woods - at that time Roland was ordering to pursue Oswood.

Fortunately, the Noldor guards were here, and if it was replaced by other people, it would definitely be impossible to hear the movement inside.

At that time, Lisa Dilan was actually only 200 meters away from Sir Roland, but the two sides were cut off by the fire, and nothing could be seen under the thick smoke, and there was no way to go in for support.

Moreover, no matter how you shout outside, people in the woods will not be able to hear them through the fire. The crackling of burning branches and leaves and the shouts of killing in the woods will cover everything—unless there are also Noldor elves inside.

Lisa Dilan was quite anxious at the time. He heard Roland yelling 'Catch him', which obviously meant that Roland would chase Osswood towards Lion Lake City!

However, Lisa Dilan just walked around from there, the 'Devourer', that terrifying big eyeball, is now between Lion Lake City and this forest.

So Lisa Dilan had no choice but to chase northeast across the line of fire from the periphery, and did not catch up until now.

"Goddess bless! Everyone, follow that elf!"

Roland breathed a sigh of relief, and led the troops to follow Lisa Dilan.

The Noldor led Roland and the others around an arc and walked out of the forest from the side. With Lisa Diran leading the way, they managed to get rid of the Fallen.

The Noldor Guard were waiting outside the forest, and they had shot the few Fallen in the area and cleared a safe area.

Then another fire was lit by the Noldor, and the two armies detoured from the southeast together and left this dangerous place.

"Lisa Dilan, where is Master Leon? I think now is a good opportunity to eliminate these fallen people!"

Roland glanced back at the newly lit fire of the Noldor.

"It's hard to kill them with fire. The wind here is always from north to south, so they can't go there... and they don't need to breathe at all, and they won't lose their fighting power because of the smoke-you should have seen it .”

Risa Dilan guessed Roland's intentions.

Indeed, setting fire to people is not a problem, but burning ghosts is very difficult.

For this kind of non-human beings who don't need to breathe, the effect of fire attack is really small-it is a low-probability event to be directly burned to death, and people who die in the fire are usually due to suffocation.

"But on such a large scale... and Egrem the Devourer will continue to create new fallen ones, how to deal with it?"

Roland seemed to know the characteristics of the Devourer very well.

"Master Li Ang is thinking of a way... There will always be a way."

Lisa Dilan actually didn't know how to deal with it. Perhaps the Noldor Elves were already the most suitable group to deal with the Fallen, but facing an army of tens of thousands of Fallen, everyone had a headache.

Li Ang also had a headache.

He is doing his best to disperse the villagers around Lion Lake City and Penn.

The army of the fallen will gather to the southeast of Lion Lake City, which is actually the result of the joint efforts of him and King Vidis.

Because they all know that the Devourer cannot be allowed to continue to create Fallen, otherwise the number of Fallen will probably increase endlessly.

Therefore, Li Ang let Vidis and Gondor the Doomseeker attack inside and outside, and took the initiative to launch an attack on the fallen outside the city, not only to let Vidis try to break through, but also to attract the attention of Egrem the Devourer.

Then he sent most of the cavalry around him to split up and try to bring all the surrounding villagers to the south of Penn.

King Vidis and Gondor still cooperated very well. After all, Vidis had to save himself, otherwise he was surrounded in Lion Lake City and could only wait to die.

However, Vidis still couldn't rush out, he couldn't even open the city gate - the Devourer is not the kind of unintelligent thing, it drove a large number of fallen people to block the entrance of Lion Lake City in the first place Door.

Vidis could only fight according to the city, and Gondor led the team to charge once from the outside, but could not make a clearance and had to evacuate.

Fortunately, the army of the Fallen in Egrem was not well prepared, and they had no good way to take the city walls of Lion Lake City.

They are actually building long ladders, but the efficiency of logging and manufacturing is very slow. It feels like a group of apes doing handwork-after becoming fallen, they are obviously no longer intelligent creatures, and their strength has become stronger, but IQ is gone.

The cavalry team organized by Li Ang took advantage of this time to barely clean up the nearby villagers. At the same time, this also expanded the Devourer's range of action to several tens of miles southwest of Lion Lake City - there were no humans nearby, so it could only run a little farther Go find a new 'soldier source'.

Therefore, Li Ang asked Li Sadilan to set fire to the forest in that area, and forced Oswood to the position of the Devourer.

At this time, Oswood has been captured alive.

It's a bit unbelievable to say that those fallen people didn't kill Oswood—although Oswood chopped off the heads of more than a dozen fallen people in a row, these fallen people didn't hit him hard.

After all the Fallen have no anger, only obedience - 'The Devourer' is here.

It seemed to be very interested in this skilled man, and its big eyes stared straight at Osswood up and down.

Several fallen people supported the dying Oswood and lifted him into a cross shape.

In fact, not only did Oswood not die, but he was not seriously injured. He was captured by the fallen and buried in a pile of bloody bodies.

But at this moment, there seemed to be a mysterious force suppressing him. He couldn't move at all, and he couldn't move his eyes.

He could only watch helplessly as the Devourer, who was riding a demonic horse and looking down at him, got closer and closer.

"No, no, no...don't come here..."

Fear had spread to Osswood's whole body.

From the Devourer, an inexplicable black mist diffused out again, and a mysterious wail sounded again—but the wail did not come from the Devourer, but from Oswood.

This time, the wailing sound was far more terrifying than the sound under Lion Lake City. It felt like thousands of people were wailing together.

"Such a crime... You actually created so many resentful souls... Hahaha..."

The Devourer was probably laughing, but the smile of the skull without the slightest flesh looked even more eerie: "I like you..."

Osswood was terrified.

Everyone knows that being liked by such a demon is definitely not a good thing - it is probably worse than being killed or dismembered directly... maybe worse than becoming a fallen person.

Sure enough, the Devourer expressed its liking right away.

It did it by itself, and with the battle ax in its hand, it cut all the armor and clothes on Oswood to pieces, and stripped Oswood naked in less than ten seconds.

However, using an ax to cut clothes, especially underwear, will inevitably leave some sequelae, and Egrem's technique is a bit rough - Oswood has some fine wounds all over his body, including some indescribable places...
