This knight is too perfect

Chapter 37 Chasing Troops
In a forest in the Territory of Thorns, Rhine galloped on his horse while vigilantly observing his surroundings.

On both sides of his head, there were two inconspicuous crows hovering.

These two crows are like two "reconnaissance planes" patrolling high in the sky, providing Rhine with a steady stream of information.

As for Shadow Crow, this extraordinary ability that once belonged to Witch Anna but now belongs to him.

Rhine has already mastered the application of this technology.

The reason why he only released two Shadow Crows was not because Rhine could not release more.

This is because he must ensure that he has '8 points of destiny essence' under normal circumstances to use 'Dragon Roar'.

Moreover, with Rhine's current brain power, processing the information from the main body and the two crows at the same time is almost reaching its limit.

After all, this is equivalent to Rhine trying to do three things at once.

If it weren't for the Knight's Protection of 'Humility (Absolute Concentration)', Rhine might not be able to do this at all.

The reason why Rhine and others chose to set out at dawn was because extraordinary monsters like the Soul Stealer would be greatly suppressed during the day.

This greatly reduces their range of activities.

This will make it convenient for Rhine and others to rush to Baron Angelo's location as quickly as possible without alerting anyone.

Therefore, this first day was an excellent opportunity for Rhine to travel.

The farther he rushed out at this time.

The more likely he is to meet Baron Angelo within the specified time.

However, what Rhine and his friends could think of was naturally also known to Garcia and the Holy Communion behind him.

Therefore, about three hours after Rhine left the castle, a cavalry team of ten people quietly set out from the Thorn Town and chased in the direction of Rhine with a clear purpose.

And this is just one of the many problems Rheinland is currently facing.

Because in addition to the pursuers behind him, there are also many unknown enemies in front of Rhine.

After all, Thorn Town is not the only town in Thorn Territory.

The power that Garcia can mobilize is not limited here.

In the most extreme case scenario speculated by Rhine, he would have to be careful enough in every small town in the Territory of Thorns that he passed through along the way.

Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, he must pay attention to the situation of these small towns along the way as much as possible and take targeted countermeasures.

This is undoubtedly a very tedious and dangerous task.

But fortunately, he is not completely without advantages.

His biggest and only advantage at the moment is that Garcia and the Holy Communion are unaware of his existence.

Although Rhine had taken action in the Thorn Town, there were many people who took action at that time, and Rhine's performance was not particularly outstanding.

As for Diaz, who was originally the castle's butler, his attention was always highly focused on Lilitha and Jet during his stay in the castle, and he tried his best not to alarm the two.

Therefore, although he had some impression of Rhine, he did not pay much attention to it.

In order to cover for Rhine, it was not only Rhine and Lilith, the master and servant, who came out together this time.

Ron and some other castle militiamen were also sent out.

These people also knew what happened in the castle and volunteered to act as bait.

Among them there are certainly people who are selfless and dedicated.

But more were speculators attracted by the high rewards offered by Fergus.

But no matter what their motives are, what they are doing this time is to save the entire Thorn Territory.

Thanks to the help of these people and Rhine's own 'Shadow Crow's' super strong reconnaissance ability.

Rhine perfectly avoided any possible enemies throughout the day and arrived at another small town in the Territory of Thorns in the cover of night.

But when he used the Shadow Crow to see what was happening in the city, Rhine was shocked.

In this small town called 'Clifford' with a population of 3,000, except for some areas in the middle, the rest of the outer areas have been completely occupied by soul stealers.

The number of them was about 300. This showed the amazing degree to which the Holy Communion had controlled Clifford.

After all, if it were somewhere else, the soul thief would never be able to appear on the street openly.

Faced with this situation, Rhine currently has only two choices.

One way is to bypass the town of Clifford and choose a route in the suburbs.

Another option is to go directly across the entire town of Clifford.

After weighing the pros and cons, Rhine finally chose the latter.

Because compared to crossing the town, taking a detour, which seems to be a safer option, is actually full of traps.

After all, for a mountainous and forested area like the Territory of Thorns, there aren't many routes in the suburbs that are suitable for horses to pass through.

If Rhine chooses to take a detour, then he seems to have many choices, but in fact he has no choices.

Very vulnerable to ambush.

Moreover, compared to the soul stealers in front of him, Rhine is actually more afraid of the pursuers from behind.

After all, the Soul Stealer is just an irrational monster, but the pursuers are fully armed men.

And in many cases, people are much more difficult to deal with than monsters.

So he must not be slowed down here.

After making up his mind, Rhine dismounted from the horse, patted the horse and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You are free now."

After that, Rhine changed into the night clothes he had prepared in advance, and headed towards the "Clifford Town" at the foot of the mountain in the night.

And it was about an hour after Rhine left.

A small group of pursuers arrived at Rhine's previous location.

The leader was a gloomy, long-haired man dressed in leather with a rapier hanging from his waist.

Dressed like this, he doesn't look like a knight at all. Instead, he looks more like a demon hunter who travels between countries.

The long-haired man got off his horse and came to the mud where Rhine had just stayed for a short while. He squatted down and stretched out his hand.

The next second, the 'snake tattoo' on the man's arm came to life and turned into a poisonous snake wrapped around his arm.

The poisonous snake crawled out of the man's arm and crawled briefly on the mud on the ground, then returned to the man's arm and turned into the original snake-shaped tattoo again.

"That little mouse was here not long ago. I can feel the 'warmth' he left here."

After saying that, the long-haired man took out a skull whistle and blew it.

Beep!
Accompanied by the sound of a clear whistle, the originally quiet woods around suddenly became noisy.

Soon, several soul stealers ran out of the woods and knelt in front of the long-haired man, trembling all over.

"Go, inform everyone. Do not let any suspected little rat go. He can't run far."

Several soul stealers nodded and quickly disappeared into the woods.

The long-haired man stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the 'Clifford Town' with only a few lights below, and said confidently: "Little mouse, you are very smart. If it were someone else, they might have been fooled by you."

"But unfortunately, you are facing an experienced demon hunter from Garrett. You can't escape."

After saying that, the long-haired man immediately jumped on the horse.

"Let's go into the city."

"Yes."

And just behind this group of pursuers, a black crow stood on the treetop, watching them silently.

It was also after the team of pursuers set off that the crow immediately took off and always maintained a safe height with them, closely watching their every move.

A battle between hunter and prey begins in the dark night.
