Heart of the Castle

Chapter 322 Kingdom mission, buried in the dusk
When Vice Archbishop Beria was receiving treatment in the heart of the castle, the convoy of the Kingdom Mission had already hurried home.Maybe it was because they didn't complete the assigned task very well. This team showed a very different feeling from the one they had when they came here. Even the flag of the kingdom in the hands of the flag bearer seemed a little downcast, and the unspeakable silence enveloped the whole team. There is a convoy, and the only sound that can be heard is the squeaking of the wheels against the ice and snow, and the occasional neighing of the horses.

In a luxuriously decorated and spacious carriage in the middle of the convoy, the head of the Kingdom Mission, Earl Enix, frowned and rested on the exquisite oriental silk satin cushion. It seemed that the mission could not be completed this time. It was a mission to drive a wedge in Northshire, but Earl Enix didn't think it was a failure.

"Leviston." He silently repeated the name several times, and the way the young lord responded was far beyond his expectations.From revealing his own background step by step at the beginning, to using a very strong and angry approach later, Li Wei's method was not only to teach Baron Hughes a lesson, so that he could only curl up with his tail between his legs. In the castle; at the same time, it was a warning to Earl Enix and the important officials of the kingdom behind him.

A lord with the support of the two temples of the earth and the storm is already difficult to deal with.In addition, Li Weiston also has a large number of knights and elite soldiers who are loyal to him, as well as an air force that is difficult to deal with such as the Griffin Army. It is obviously a sum of money for the important officials of the kingdom to offend him too much for a little benefit. Losing business.

Since this is the case, it is better to find a way to restore the relationship that has deteriorated but has not yet been completely opposed.If possible, someone should be sent to find out what kind of person this Levi Stone is...

Just as Earl Enix was seriously thinking about how to restore the relationship between the important officials of the kingdom and Li Weiston, as well as the role he could play in this matter, there was a faint shout from the guard knights outside the carriage.Earl Enix, whose thoughts were interrupted, frowned in displeasure. Just as he was about to open the window and look out to see what happened, the sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, followed by countless sharp arrows shooting from the front. Come splash!

This rain of arrows came very suddenly, and each sharp arrow was shot from a strong bow and crossbow, both in terms of speed and momentum, it was extremely shocking.The knights guarding the carriage were caught off guard, and most of them were drowned in the dense rain of arrows before they even had time to take off the shields hanging beside the saddles.

The continuous screams of people and horses suddenly burst into the silence of the dusk forest.Although this rain of arrows has dealt a serious blow to the Kingdom Mission, there are more than a hundred guarding knights in the Mission, and all of them are wearing light armor. Apart from hitting vital points, most of the sharp arrows cannot cause fatal damage. .

When the knights at the front were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, the guard knights at the back reacted, raised their shields and long swords, roared loudly and rode their horses to charge.The rain of arrows shot from the shadows in front did not stop, sprinkled from the air on the guard knight's head, bounced off the shield, or found a gap to penetrate into the flesh.

Under the protection of the shield, only a few guard knights fell off their horses and died. The captain of the guard was a great knight.The rain of arrows shot at him densely, but they were either blocked by his shield, or slipped away from the armor protected by the light of battle energy.

The speed of the horse's charge was quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, the pale green vindictive light tore through the darkness, exposing the shooters hidden in the bushes.These people all wore black iron masks on their faces, and they held composite shortbows suitable for fighting in the woods.

"In the name of Barud! Go, kill them!" The captain of the guard knights prancing his horse and swinging his sword, shouted an order, and the knights behind him responded loudly, but at the next moment, a tall and stalwart figure walked out of the forest, With a big sword in his hand, he blocked the guard knight captain.

"Go to hell!" The captain of the guard knights roared, and the long sword swung a fierce arc of light from top to bottom. In an instant, he seemed to be able to split that tall figure in half, but after the sword clanged, flying In the upper half of the sky is the left wrist of the guard knight captain holding the half-cut sword tightly.

The cry of the captain of the guard knights suddenly turned into a wail. He just relied on instinct instead of accurate judgment to cover his head with the shield, hoping to delay the inevitable fate of death.

The counterattack of the tall figure made him shut his mouth forever. The fierce sword not only split the shield of the captain of the guard, but also split him from the shoulder to the waist, almost cutting the man and the horse in two.Then the tall figure strode forward, the big sword flashing again and again, each sword brought out the scream of a guard knight, more figures holding long swords and battle axes swarmed out from the darkness, a strong The bloody smell immediately diffused in the middle of the dusk forest.

Earl Enix's carriage lost its balance in the first round of arrow rain. The unlucky groom was shot through the left eye by a sharp arrow, and died before he even hit the ground.The frightened horses pulled the carriage, and after a cloud of dust, it hit the oak tree and overturned. The left side stuck to the ground, and the two wheels on the right were still spinning desperately.

If Earl Enix's skills were not as good, he would have at least suffered serious injuries in this accident.But before the car overturned, Earl Enix had already smashed the car window and jumped out, and hid his body behind the overturned car body to avoid the rain of arrows. At some point, he had a long dagger for self-defense in his hand .

The charge formation of the guarding knights of the Kingdom Mission has completely disintegrated, and the neighing of the war horses keeps turning around with the master on its back.The figures gushing out from the depths of the dense forest fought with the guarding knights, the battle axes and long swords whizzed and collided, and the screams of the dead and the muffled groans of the wounded mixed with these sounds, forming an extremely terrifying scene. symphony.

However, Earl Enix could only hear the voices of the knights guarding the mission, whether they were shouts or screams.The figures who were their opponents were as silent as rocks. If they hadn't let out a muffled groan when they were hit by swords and fell to the ground bleeding, Earl Enix would have thought that the guard knights were fighting with a group of slaves. Fight against the dead who escaped from the Eternal Night Kingdom.

There were not many figures rushing out of the darkness, although they were sturdy and brave, they dared to charge upwards against the swords of the guarding knights.But compared with most of the guardian knights with grudge power, they did not achieve an overwhelming advantage.If it wasn't for that tall figure, the guard knight would not have collapsed so quickly, and there was even a possibility of stabilizing his position and turning defeat into victory.

However, with the addition of that person and that sword, the entire situation of the battle has completely slipped in a direction that is not conducive to the Kingdom Mission.The big sword in the tall figure's hand flashed with lightning, almost like waving a brilliant beam of thunder. Every time it flickered, a guard knight fell down screaming. Whether it was a sword, a shield or an armor, the long sword Everything in front of me is like paper.

Earl Enix's face contorted because of fear and disbelief.Due to the lack of actual combat experience, the guard knights of the capital are slightly inferior to knights of the same level in combat ability, but they are definitely not waste that can be easily cleaned up like melons and vegetables. In front of the tall figure walking slowly, no knight could resist even a single sword strike.

The shouts of killing turned into panicked wailing, and then gradually disappeared. The guard knights of the entire mission were lying on the ground, even the horses were no exception.The people who were seriously injured and fell to the ground in the first wave of arrow rain lived a negligible amount of time because of this, until those figures with battle axes approached and solved their pain one by one.

When those people started to split the compartment with axes, they went in to check, and mercilessly hacked at the passengers inside, whether they were still moaning or had closed their eyes, they would not let them go.The horses pulling the two carriages were shot to death, but the carriages were lucky enough not to overturn. When those men hacked at the door, the window of one of the carriages was smashed open, and a figure sprang out with a bag in his hand. A long sword.

Seeing the figure slamming into the crowd ferociously and waving a sword light, Earl Enix, who was hiding behind the overturned carriage, felt a slight movement in his heart. That figure was Knight Wilder, who possessed the qualifications of a Grand Knight Commander and a battle commensurate with it. Among the guard knights of the Kingdom Mission, he is a leading swordsman, and his true strength is far superior to that of the captain of the guard.

"This is an opportunity," Count Enix said to himself silently, and then he quietly left behind the carriage while all the assassins' attention was attracted by Wilder, and hid behind a large bush on the side of the road.

Immediately after Wilde, two guard knights jumped off another carriage, further distracting the assassins' attention. Wilde slashed left and right with the long sword in his hand, beheading two opponents in a row, and knocked down the two opponents in front of him. The assassin forced back, and for a moment it seemed as if he was about to break out.At this time, the tall figure who had been standing aside, watching Wilder and the others indifferently, suddenly moved, and the sharp sword light fell on his head, as if ruthlessly whipped by the person in charge of the thunder.

Wilder held the sword in both hands to block the blow, and the sparks sparked between the blades shot out in all directions like a rain of light, illuminating a corner of the dark forest.This was the first time that tall figure returned without success today, followed by the continuous sound of metal clanging.

However, this is not a close battle.

Facing the continuous attacks of the tall figure, Wilder trembled like a sapling in a storm. His long sword could barely parry the tall figure's slashing, parrying, then retreating, continuing to parry, and then step back.There is no power to counterattack at all, and every block and parry becomes more and more strenuous.

If it wasn't for the sudden impatience of the tall figure, Wilder's resistance could have barely lasted for a while.

"It's really troublesome. Since you are not my opponent, don't struggle so ugly!" With the sound of this cold voice, the big sword in Gao Daren's hand flashed a brilliant light of fighting spirit!
