king of the castle

Chapter 283 I don't want to

I don't know when, the top of the mound was full of heavily armed soldiers. 【】Although it is not clear in the dark night, the team leader can confirm that the opponent's number is at least several times more than his own.

These soldiers lined up in a neat formation in silence, exuding a very depressing killing intent.This squad leader is also a person with rich combat experience, and he immediately understood that these are all elite fighters, and they are definitely no worse than his own men.

What frightened the squad leader even more was that standing at the front of the opponent's formation was a row of crossbowmen.These crossbowmen were all ready to launch, and their gleaming arrows aimed at the people under the mound, ready to launch a deadly attack at any time.

"Be careful..." The team leader only had time to shout two words before he was pierced through his chest by an arrow that was shot at him.He fell headfirst to the ground, and the last thought in his mind before he died was: That woman is hopeless, what a pity...

Just as the team leader died, the others had also arrived at the scene that terrified them.Before these people turned around and ran for their lives, Roger had already given the command to the crossbowman to fire.

All I could hear was the "buzzing" sound of the bowstring, and several deadly arrows shot at Edward and his men in the dark.The distance between the two sides is very close, but only a distance of more than 20 steps. At such a short distance, even the inlaid armor cannot withstand the attacks of longbows and light crossbows.The soldiers rushing to the front shot arrows and fell to the ground screaming. The evening wind, which was still very fresh just now, soon carried a strong smell of blood.

The longbowmen soon struck again, and Edward's men waved their weapons in vain, hoping to deflect arrows.However, in such darkness, no arrows were shot at the head. Many people only heard the sound of the bowstring, and then they were shot to the ground, and they did not try their best to resist such a terrible attack.

After shooting two rounds of sharp arrows, the crossbowmen retreated tacitly, and the iron spear soldiers and long sword fighters rushed down the mound in neat formation, charging at the enemies who had no fighting spirit.

The fighters who launched the reunion condescendingly were extremely powerful, but their opponents were already terrified and did not have the courage to continue fighting.At this time, these guys couldn't care less about killing Roger, they just wanted to save their own lives, so they all turned around and ran away at the same time.

"Don't run, fight!" Edward shouted in vain, but no one listened to him at all, even the few officers joined the ranks of fleeing.

Edward, who witnessed this scene, knew that the situation was over, so he turned and ran for his life in resignation.At this time, his heart was full of doubts. Where did these elite soldiers come from? Why didn't they notice it before? If he knew that Roger still had such a terrifying power in his hand, Edward would never take the risk to attack him of.

But Edward would never know the answers to these questions. He turned and ran a few steps before he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him.Edward glanced back instinctively, his pupils immediately shrank smaller than the tip of a needle, and blurted out: "Cavalry!"

Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, Roger summoned the light cavalry.Perhaps the light cavalry seemed a little powerless to deal with the enemies arrayed.But chasing and killing the fleeing enemy is the light cavalry's forte.

The light cavalry urged their horses to catch up from behind, holding their sabers high and slashing at the fleeing enemies, just as easily as a hunter hitting a rabbit.It didn't take long, and the fleeing enemies were almost wiped out. Only the strongest Edward and two officers survived.

However, these three people were only temporarily alive. They were surrounded by light cavalry regiments, and they had nowhere to go.Several people, including Ed, were pale, and they knew in their hearts that there was no escape this time.

It didn't take long for Roger to arrive surrounded by soldiers. At this time, the sky was already bright, and Edward finally had a chance to know how many people there were.The fact surprised him. There were soldiers all around the morning light, and it was estimated that there were nearly a thousand soldiers.

This made Edward very confused, and finally couldn't help but asked Roger loudly: "Since you have so many soldiers, why do you deliberately show weakness to play tricks on us!"

"I am a nobleman with a sense of justice. If you didn't want to kill me first, I would be a little embarrassed to attack you." Roger said seriously: "And you don't think that such a surprise completely destroys your subordinates?" With my fighting spirit, can I avoid causing too much loss to me?"

Roger's words made Edward very angry, and couldn't help but shouted: "You...you are simply a villain!"

"You are wrong." Roger said with a cold face: "Trying to murder the nobles of the kingdom is the act of a villain. Now I sentence you to death!"

As soon as Roger finished speaking, the crossbowmen shot deadly arrows at Edward and the others.The two officers beside him were instantly shot into hedgehogs, and died without even screaming.Edward was stronger. Although he pushed aside a lot of arrows, he was injured and fell to the ground.Although he still struggled to stand up, he could do nothing.When Edward finally arrived, several fine horses were galloping towards him, and the light cavalrymen on the horses had already raised their sabers high, and then his vision went dark and he lost all consciousness.

"Sigh... I didn't expect that the first battle to exterminate the orcs would be a battle with the soldiers of the kingdom. It's really embarrassing." Facing Edward's men who were completely annihilated, Roger sighed: "I don't want to do this either. Yes, who told you to force me."

Bonnie couldn't listen to Roger's words anymore, and couldn't help interjecting: "If they don't do anything to you, will you really let them go?"

"Of course, I am a person with a bottom line!" Roger said confidently: "But I can't guarantee whether the orcs will let them go. After all, it is dangerous to exterminate the orcs, right?"

"I know you are not a good person. Even if they don't do anything to you, you will find a way to let these people die in the hands of the orcs." Bonnie mercilessly exposed Roger's lie, but she didn't seem too angry.

Edward and his subordinates came to trouble Roger. For Bonnie, whose heart was all tied to Roger, the death of such a person was not a pity. Of course, Roger would not be blamed for them.

"Hey, my Bonnie understands me!" Roger put his arms around the female knight's slender waist and said, "Now that the troubles around me are solved, it's the turn of those nasty orcs!"

In the past few days, Bonnie has seen the evil deeds of the orcs, and she agrees with Roger's words.But she quickly remembered a question, and asked Roger with some worry: "But this golden wasteland is so big, how can we find the orcs?"

"Have you forgotten these little guys?" Roger smiled triumphantly at the female knight, and released all the hippogryphs.

These magic pets flapped their wings and flew in all directions, and soon disappeared in the sky of the golden wasteland.
