Chapter 289

The wind blows on my face like a knife.

Mud flowers bloom under the flying horse's hooves, the war horse spits out a heavy breath, and Todd can clearly feel its beating drum like heartbeat through the saddle. If he continues to run like this, the good horse from andar county will be abandoned, but Todd doesn't care. Lord Negus failed the infiltration mission and lost all his squires and cavalry. He doesn't care. Just like he didn't care about killing fleeing miners and restoring his reputation in order to get Duke Eriksson's training potion, He doesn't care to hang out with stinking freedmen.

Todd has always believed that the illegitimate son of a small aristocrat without background like him can only rise to the top by any means. If the pursuers accept surrender, he doesn't mind changing his master. But Todd knew that the attackers were going to kill them all, not one! Because he had an insight into a secret, a secret about the attacker.

There was no sign of the night attack. Between the time Todd and his retinue woke up and dressed up, the attackers had invaded the camp. The chaotic situation made Todd unable to organize effective resistance. While scolding the soldiers on duty for their incompetence, he fought with the enemy. After close contact, he was surprised to find that his opponent's strength was far superior to ordinary people, and even better than himself. The retinue soldiers thought the enemies were trainee knights, but Todd knew that the attackers were not.

Although Todd was promoted to a trainee Knight by means of washing and practicing potions, he experienced the characteristics of fighting spirit and element level. The fighting spirit resonance element position can greatly improve his strength and physique. The resonance wind element position can greatly improve his perception and agility. The resonance water element position can greatly improve his physical strength and slightly improve his self-healing force, which can effectively improve his strength and agility. The resonance fire element position can improve his spirit and unity. Due to the affinity of elements, the characteristics of trainee knights are different. Generally speaking, male trainee Knights generally have strong strength and tough physique. Most female trainee Knights have long physical strength, both strength and dexterity, and the resonance number of element positions also affects the individual differences of trainee knights. But each of these enemies has flexible body methods, keen perception and average strength, which is an obvious affinity feature of wind element.

The knight blood with affinity for wind element is rare. How can there be dozens of trainee knights with affinity for wind element? Moreover, there is almost no difference in their personal strength! Their martial arts skills are like withdrawal. They are firm willed and indifferent. Even if their arms are cut off, they will kill the enemy desperately and will not scream until they die.

Todd concluded that these attackers were not apprentice knights. They were secret law dead men trained by Gambis, which was comparable to the secret law dead men of apprentice Knights! Just like the fourth level paladin of the church, you can compete with the trainee Knight without divination!

The secret made Todd tremble. The attacker could let go of the inexperienced squires and soldiers, but he would never let go of their trainee knights who knew how to fight. In the same way, as long as he takes this secret back, he can not only restore his reputation and title, but also be summoned and praised by his Majesty the king.

Escaping life means prosperity!

Therefore, Todd did not hesitate to give up the responsibility of guarding the stronghold gate, watched the trainee Knight Wilma die, and persuaded Sir Farrell to lead 30 retinue cavalry to flee together. He must survive!

It's not easy to ride a horse at night. Todd gives full play to his hard-working equestrian skills since childhood. He holds the reins tightly, lies low on the horse's back, acts as the horse's eyes and ears, controls it to pierce the darkness, stride over the gurgling streams, fallen dead trees, the wind roars in his ears, the scenery on both sides is disappearing rapidly, and only the hazy moonlight closely follows him.

"Ang" "ang" "ang".

The strange and loud cry changed Todd's face. Turning around, he saw the bushes on the hills shaking like waves, and the four dark shadows were catching up at the speed of surpassing the horses.

"Damn it!" Todd gnashed his teeth. He knew that Sir Farrell and the retinue cavalry were finished, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Soon after leaving the free camp, they were decorated by these enemies riding giant birds. Todd is no stranger to this large land bird called the fast bird. In addition to the delicious meat, they have a hot temper and explosive power comparable to brown bears. They walk through obstacles like walking on the ground. They move quickly and flexibly. Their powerful claws can easily break soldiers' ribs. Their hard and sharp beak is like an axe. Todd never wants to be pecked by them.

The Erikson family had plans to domesticate giant birds, but their bad temper and terrible load-bearing ability ruled out this possibility, so all the fast birds in dodo kingdom were killed.

Now, the attackers have made the impossible a reality. These fast bird cavalry followed all the way on the hillside of the hill. They bowed down and shot the squire cavalry at the end of the team with a crossbow. Whenever Todd tried to fight back, the fast bird cavalry ran to the high place of the hill. Any action by the squire cavalry to rescue their companions would only cause more deaths and injuries. The fugitives panicked. They scrambled to run in front of the team. Two unlucky people even broke their horse legs. In a short three kilometer chase, Todd and Sir Farrell lost eight squires and cavalry, and the enemy was unharmed!

Facing the desperate situation, Todd deliberately fell behind and suddenly put forward the suggestion of running for his life. Then he drove his horse into a narrow valley regardless. This is not a road. It is rugged and difficult to walk. Without excellent riding skills and excellent eyesight, ordinary people can't ride through at all. Other squires and cavalry have to follow Sir Farrell and continue to flee north.

Todd won the bet. The fast bird cavalry let him go and bit Faroe's team all the way north, but he knew it was temporary. The enemy solved Faroe and would catch up sooner or later. In order to reduce the load, Todd threw away his luxurious wolf skin cloak, gem inlaid scabbard, refined iron spear, crossbow, hard bow and all feather arrows. He crossed the valley, turned around and ran North for two kilometers, and the pursuers finally appeared.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! We'll be there soon."

Todd whipped the right side of the mount with a whip. The sound of the fast bird was getting closer and closer. He could almost imagine the fast bird cavalry aiming with a crossbow. The war horse seemed to hear the voice of its master and suddenly accelerated to sprint. A fierce crossbow arrow rubbed its hind legs and dived into the bushes.

The war horse rushed out of the mountain stream, and a low forest came into Todd's eyes. He picked up the fine gold long sword and round shield, jumped down from the galloping horse's back, touched his feet, jumped into the dense forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Todd breathed a sigh of relief in the dark forest. He shuttled quickly among the crowded dwarf trees. The thick humus on the ground absorbed the sound of footsteps, but the sensitive night owl exposed his whereabouts with a strange cry.

Todd smiled contemptuously. He went to the depths of the woods, looked at the surrounding environment, deeply inserted the long sword with purple light into the ground until it had no handle, planed the rotten leaves on the ground with his bare hands, smeared the blue fine iron scales with mud, and rolled in the mud pit. The scales became as dark as the forest, so he stopped. Then he took out a bundle of thin wire from his satchel and tied it between several dwarf trees, just as high as his neck. Having done all this, Todd pulled out his long sword full of mud, put down his visor on his helmet, and sat quietly under a dwarf tree, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

This is Todd's scheduled cemetery to bury the enemy or himself.

A moment later, the owl's strange cry suddenly stopped. Todd sat there motionless. The insect sound in the forest seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand. Only the fallen leaves whispered in his ear and told the footsteps of death. A crossbow arrow shot from the darkness. With a "Ding" sound, it was bounced open by the arc of the refined iron helmet. Todd raised the round shield to block the face door. Another crossbow arrow shot at his chest. The arrow tip penetrated into the scale armor, but failed to completely penetrate the hard skin armor. He felt the tingling pain on the skin. Todd smiled and said, "the crossbow can't hurt me. Use your sword to take my life!"

What responded to Todd was one crossbow after another. Suddenly, a fuzzy shadow flashed in close to the ground and came in front of him in an instant. Todd couldn't catch his opponent's movements. He could only see the faint light rowing to his chest and abdomen. He didn't hesitate to slash with his sword. The surging force pushed the long sword to cut out quickly. The sword body did not shake or deform under the pressure of the air. The strong air pressure took away the mud on the sword body, revealing invincible purple. The viscous air was cut open by the sharp blade and sent out a sharp sound like silk.

This sword is the most ordinary oblique cut. It goes down like a river, like thunder and lightning. It lives to death without dodging, moving or fighting. However, it failed. The dark shadow was like a ghost without substance, and the invisible breeze flashed behind Todd along the sword.

Todd was born in a humble family with impure blood. He was barely promoted to a trainee Knight by washing and practicing medicine. His sword technique was not as smooth as a knight, but he worked harder than a vassal soldier. The Knights of the Eriksson family once praised Todd: there is a God in the sword, like an arm. Over the past 20 years, Todd has wielded his sword more than 100000 times. The most basic sword skill has long been engraved into his soul and has become an instinct.

The blade is flying, chasing the flowing air, turning behind, cutting the skin armor, flesh and bones, and dividing the enemy in two.

An ordinary oblique chop turns into an ordinary return chop to end a powerful opponent. But Todd was not happy. Blood was seeping from the wound, one in the chest and abdomen, one in the back and one in the thigh. Before he killed his opponent, his opponent's refined iron machete hit him three times. If it weren't for this solid scale armor, he would have been a dead body.

Tao de just pulled out the crossbow arrow on the scale, a wisp of cold suddenly hit from above. He had no time to think. He threw himself on the spot, used his hands and feet, and jumped forward one meter in an extremely ugly posture.

This is the distance between life and death.

The enemy swooping down from the treetops was hung in the air by Todd's wire tied in advance. The sharp iron wire cut into the enemy's thigh, but failed to cut off the leg bone. The enemy's own weight and the kinetic energy of the attack made the blood and flesh on the thigh cut down along the iron wire. The warm blood poured on Todd's face. He saw a pair of indifferent eyes and a blue machete. The cold killing intention almost frozen his soul. Todd screamed wildly and stabbed with his sword.

"Poop poop"

The long sword penetrates the enemy's head from bottom to top, and the machete penetrates Todd's abdomen from top to bottom. Todd endured the pain, pulled out his machete in his abdomen and his bloody sword, and struggled to stand up and check the injury.

The wound is not deep or shallow, but if you hurt your intestines, you will die if there is another fierce battle.

Todd shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew he was not the opponent of the attacker, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big. He tried his best to solve the two enemies, but he was seriously injured. There were at least two attackers in the forest, and there were more attackers coming.

Fast bird Qingqi has an absolute advantage in terms of quantity, individual strength and tactical cooperation. Todd knows that if he can't get back to his disadvantage, he will never survive. He ordered them to run for their lives. Leaving the team was to disperse the pursuers, hiding in the dwarf forest was to prevent the swift birds from cooperating in combat, and forced the attackers to choose close combat. Smearing mud is conducive to concealment. Attackers can only act separately in order to search for targets. Tying thin iron cables can weaken the mobility of attackers.

Todd knew that the fast bird's weight-bearing ability was poor, and the attacker could only be equipped with light armor. He wants to make use of the terrain and equipment, turn disadvantages into advantages, create a situation of facing one light armor enemy at a time, and then kill his opponent with the method of dying together. There is a ridge in the east of the dwarf forest, which is the observation post set up by the viscount. The beacon tower in the free camp has been lit. Lord Negus will send knights to investigate the situation of the camp. Todd planned to kill his chasing opponent first and try to meet the knight of the Viscount before a large number of pursuers came. Now, he can only bet his luck.

The monsoon blows the woods, and the shadows of the trees sway like demons dancing. Todd tied up his abdominal wound, carried a long sword and walked out of the woods. He always felt that his every move was monitored. At the moment, he just wanted to leave this gloomy and terrible place early.

Outside the woods, the low silver moon tries to sprinkle the last ray of light, and the whole world will fall into the darkness before dawn. Tao De's heart is like ashes. More than a dozen attackers were wandering outside the woods across strong fast birds.

Todd retreated into the hidden trees and lay powerless on the ground, quietly experiencing the last time of his life. At this time, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside the woods, followed by the violent neighing of fast birds. Todd moved in his heart and looked around. He saw the slender figure on the ridge, like a sharp knife.

"Lord Negus?"

"Todd, just come here."

The distant sound came with the wind, like the cold moonlight, dispelling the haze in Todd's heart. He walked out of the woods with a laugh and charged at the ridge 400 meters away.

The swift bird rode right behind him. Todd was fearless. He drew several blue streamers on the ridge, pierced the hearts of the pursuers and shot them one by one. The fast bird cavalry chased their prey one after another. Their speed surpassed Todd, but Todd didn't care. In the face of the obstruction of the wind knight, these dead men didn't want to touch him. Todd ran 300 meters at the speed of a galloping horse. There were already four cavalry and five fast birds falling under the arrow of viscount Negus.

If you run more than 100 meters, you can escape from Shengtian. The nearest fast bird cavalry is more than 60 meters away from you. The adult will shoot him and the fast bird immediately. By the way, Lord neigus hasn't tasted the fast bird meat yet. When the battle is over, I will collect these delicious food, and adults will be more happy! Adults are adjusting their positions... Why don't adults do it yet? My lord

In Todd's stunned eyes, viscount Negus first moved his position lightly, then looked at his side, and then he hesitated to put away the keel secret silver bow that frightened the enemy, and then made an elegant Knight salute to the depths of the forest, and then disappeared on the ridge without looking back.

The bitter chill spread from the bottom of Todd's heart to his whole body. He slowly stopped his rigid steps, received a fierce kick on his back, kicked him out a few meters away, and the beak of a fast bird pecked on his helmet like an axe. Todd's consciousness fell into darkness.

A long arrow was inserted in the position of viscount Negus, from the dwarf forest five hundred meters away.
