Under the gaze of Lu Cheng's telescope, the target of the attack was bleeding profusely and sat down under a tree in exhaustion.
"The target is at your three o'clock direction, about two hundred meters away." Lu Cheng reported the enemy's position to Zhou Hua who had already walked into the forest. "The enemy is approaching you at the four o'clock direction, about five hundred and twenty meters away, and there are two of them in total."
"clear."
Zhou Hua ran quickly towards the location reported by Lu Cheng. When he was about to reach his destination, he slowed down his pace and pretended to be a woodcutter wandering around the forest with an axe in his hand.
Lu Cheng was wondering how Zhou Hua was going to deal with the two knights. He was carrying a pistol, but it seemed like an ordinary woodcutter could not take down two fully armed knights.
Unless he is that kind of...woodcutter who lives in seclusion in the mountains.
Lu Cheng had the impression that this scout's favorite thing to read during his rest time was martial arts novels. However, the most popular plot in martial arts novels was that the people who emerged from the dense forest or some valley basically all possessed special skills.
Lu Cheng had a premonition that this scene might happen next... and the scariest thing was that it made sense in this world!
Although the Far South Empire occupies nearly half of the territory of the Far South Continent, there are still many undeveloped areas within the territory. It is much more difficult for humans in this world to exploit the resources in the deep mountains and forests than on Earth.
The mining of natural resources on Earth is nothing more than roads and equipment funding, as well as various problems such as landslides. This world also has to consider another dangerous factor... that is Warcraft!
The three green-striped pigs raised by Dr. Ji Chuan could charge and kill five or six ordinary humans when they became enraged, and they were only creatures in the middle of the food chain in that area.
So there is nothing special on the outskirts of this forest, but the deep forest is a death zone for humans.
"I see the target." After Zhou Hua reported this to Lu Cheng via radio, he quickly walked towards the target.
The target was an elderly man with gray hair. Lu Cheng heard in the mission briefing that his name was Morey, and he was a nobleman with a fiefdom in the Far South Empire. According to the noble titles in the Middle Ages, his title was already at the level of earl.
He looks to be over sixty years old, but under the influence of magic, his physical fitness is no worse than that of a young man.
When Lu Cheng arrived here, he saw the earl named Morey holding a sword and killing two knights alone, and then ran into the forest.
Unfortunately, he was also seriously injured in the battle.
When Zhou Hua came in front of Earl Morey, he smelled blood in the air. His abdomen and legs were bleeding profusely. If no emergency treatment was taken, he might bleed to death.
In this situation, Zhou Hua did not hesitate and walked quickly to Earl Morey. The earl, who was in a semi-comatose state, noticed Zhou Hua approaching, but he no longer had the strength to pick up the sword at hand.
Zhou Hua quickly used the medicine Lu Cheng gave him to help the old earl stop the bleeding... The bandage tool was a rag, but the medicine was a commonly used modern hemostatic drug.
"Boy, don't worry about me! Run away!" After the old earl found that the young man in tattered clothes in front of him was actually bandaging his wounds, he used his remaining strength to grab Zhou Hua's arm and tried to push him away.
This sentence was also transmitted to Lu Cheng's ears through the radio. Lu Cheng was a little surprised that the old earl was actually quite kind. He knew that if Zhou Hua continued to stay here, he would definitely be killed by the two knights who were chasing him.
"Did you encounter any monster in the mountains?"
Zhou Hua spoke the pure common language of the other world, without any Chinese accent. Lu Cheng believed that he must have spent time and effort in practicing, after all, being proficient in a foreign language is the foundation of an intelligence officer.
"It's not a monster! I don't know where you come from! Get out of here now, kid!" The old earl seemed a little angry when he saw that Zhou Hua had no intention of listening to his orders.
"He can't leave, Lord Lionheart... Today you have one more person buried with you."
The two knights who were chasing him came out from the other side of the forest, holding blood-stained swords in their hands. They looked at the old earl sitting on the ground with uncontrollable excitement in their voices.
In the country of Far South, it is a great honor to be able to defeat a powerful person. The Earl with the title of Lionheart has a high reputation in the Far South Empire.
"No matter who sent you here, when I return home...your master and your family, none of them will survive!"
The old earl tried to stand up with his sword in hand, but his serious injuries made it impossible for him to move even a step.
"You have no chance to go back." One of the knights heard the old earl mention his family, and immediately raised his sword and rushed towards him and Zhou Hua.
However, under Lu Cheng's gaze, the shabby-clothed 'woodcutter boy' turned his back to the old earl, raised his left hand, and released a powerful magic, which was 'Take the bullet!'
Zhou Hua did make a gesture to release magic, but with his other hand he took out a pistol and aimed it at the knight who was rushing towards him.
From the perspective of Lu Cheng and the old earl, the moment he raised his left hand, the knight seemed to have suffered an irresistible impact and stopped moving forward instantly.
The next second he fell to his knees, with scarlet blood gushing out of his head.
At this moment, the old earl who was sitting on the ground was stunned, and the knight's companion was also stunned, but this sudden attack did not scare the other knight.
"Boy, you don't know whose knight you killed!" another knight shouted loudly to Zhou Hua.
"I don't know, but I suggest you leave here now." Zhou Hua might not have memorized his lines well, and this sentence sounded too conventional in Lu Cheng's eyes.
"He's preparing magic!"
Lu Cheng used the radio to remind Zhou Hua that the knight was stalling for time to prepare some kind of magic. After hearing Lu Cheng's reminder, Zhou Hua did not hesitate any longer. He simply waved his left hand again and fired the second bullet.
Before the knight could finish chanting his magic, a large amount of blood gushed out of his throat and he fell to the ground without making a sound.
After doing all this, Zhou Hua turned around and looked at the old earl. Under the old earl's surprised gaze, Zhou Hua helped him treat his wounds, and then the next step was... Zhou Hua stood up and planned to walk into the depths of the forest.
"Wait a minute! I am Count Morikaenles of the Lionheart Territory, a young spellcaster... If you can escort me back to the Far South, I will give you a high reward!" He shouted loudly to Zhou Hua's back.
"I feel like you can be the protagonist." Lu Cheng heard the old earl's call and said on the radio.
