Chapter 93: Gambling

Views:

The low sound of donglong donglong's hoofs echoed on the forest path, and several tall horses moved forward slowly.

A group of cavalry appeared on the road leading to the orc stronghold, led by a beautiful young woman. She wears a helmet of thorns and a dark red cloak on her shoulders. She has a vigorous posture and cold eyes.

Compared with a bunch of rough and rough men and women in the Black Forest, this squad, although full of dusty faces, is strict and solemn, dressed meticulously, and runs without noise.

The team ran all morning and could see the wall of the orc stronghold from a distance. The leading woman suddenly raised her hand, the team immediately dispersed, the bow and crossbow were wounded, and she was on high alert.

"Where is who? Come out!" The female knight yelled at the edge of the woods.

In the woods, the fine and shredded branches and leaves flicked, and there was a voice of "Don't be nervous". Ranger Luke was half-hidden in the forest. He led several of his men and asked in a loud voice: "Beautiful lady, I want to remind you that there is a battle in the direction of the orc stronghold, it is best not to go."

The female knight was in the dust, and when she heard that there was a battle ahead, she frowned and became more alert. An old knight with gray hair stood next to her and actively shouted: "Luke, I am Naser. You are not staying at Xionghoufeng, and why are you running to Schroeder's site?"

Luke recognized the identity of the old knight, he couldn't help but look at the leading woman a few more times, "The one who can let the Knight Nathan follow is Princess Inissa of the Principality of Oss. Your beauty is more attractive than the rumors. But I I still don’t recommend that you move on."

The cavalry teams that appeared on the road were Enissa and Nasser, who had already lost their country. The original cavalry team with more than a dozen members only had half of them. They are now homeless and can only run back and forth between the settlements in the Black Forest, hoping to recruit some people.

In the past half a month, the beautiful and dignified Enisa has lost a lot of weight, and she has never been so sad and helpless to be imprisoned by the dragon. But the harder the princess was, the stronger the princess was.

Although it’s rootless duckweed, she can’t even find a place to stay, but what Enissa thinks in her mind is how to strengthen her strength and return to the Principality of Oss to restore the rule of the Frederick family—as the priest of the God of War, she must Never admit defeat.

For fighting, the followers of God of War are always interested. Inissa asked loudly: "What battle happened in the orc stronghold? Who is the dispute with whom?"

"It is the resistance alliance of our ten black forests that is countering those shameful traitors who surrendered to the goblins!" Ranger Luke said.

Who... ...

Her Royal Highness has never heard of any Resistance Alliance. She was thinking wildly. The old knight Naser asked, "Who is your leader?"

"Our ten settlements unanimously elected Victor Hugo as the leader." Luke said.

Who... ...

Enissa and Naser even thought they had heard it wrong. After they left Razor Cliff, they wandered around like mourning dogs. After the goblin plank road was blocked, they were also trapped in the black forest.

For a month, these exiles from the Oss Principality have not been able to settle down. They have been to the Voodoo Swamp, the White Crow Camp, and they also ran into the famous'Master Modi', and even ran into both Zhou Qingfeng and Todd.

Zhou Qingfeng and Todd listened to the words of the princess, and ran to the voodoo swamp to find someone. However, Enisa left the next day, and she didn't even have time to leave a definite message for Zhou Qingfeng. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't do it.

The conditions in the voodoo swamp were so bad that Enissa couldn't develop there at all. She asked for news everywhere, hoping to find a possible place to stay, but was unsuccessful. But when she turned around this time trying to try her luck at the orc stronghold, she suddenly learned...

Victor Hugo has become the leader of the Human Resistance Alliance!

What kind of title is this

Luke also knew that the name of his alliance was too watery, and he laughed after hehe a few times: "We don't want to be bullied by goblins, we naturally have to resist. The election of Victor Hugo as the leader is also a fancy to Your Excellency Hugo. Leadership skills."

Victor Hugo still has leadership skills? Are you cunning people in the Black Forest using others as puppets

Both the Princess and the Knight Naser were surprised..., I don't know what to do. In their memory, the young man who dared to challenge the red dragon Alatis was indeed brave and fearless. But the leadership skills don't seem to match him very well.

Inisa has done nothing recently, but she was even more shocked when she heard the news. She said to Luke: "Your Excellency Hugo once helped me out of trouble. He is my friend. Since he led this resistance alliance, I naturally want to join."

The order Luke received was to keep anyone from approaching the orc stronghold, but he didn't expect that it was a princess of a country who came here, an authentic high-ranking nobleman. From his heart, he did not want these remnants of the Oss Principality to join the coalition.

But Enissa is famous, and her attitude is to cooperate. Luke is not easy to intercept.

Enissa was in a difficult situation with her own considerations. She didn't give Luke any more time to think about it. She waved her hand at the knight behind her and decided to rush directly, "Go forward, since we are here, we can't sit and watch. Punish the human traitors. Everyone is responsible for the matter."

Anyway, the orc stronghold is not far away, so it's easy to rush over.

As soon as the cavalry squad left, Luke was helpless in the woods, so he could only shoot a loud arrow to warn the direction of the orc stronghold. This arrow made Enisa a little uneasy, but she became more determined to go and see what happened

Riding the horse galloping, the dark red cloak clashed fiercely. The female knight on horseback is like a rainbow, like a gust of wind on the ground, pulling out an afterimage. She is a priest of the God of War, with a long knife on horseback unsheathed, gritted her teeth, and is ready to fight.

Anyone who dares to stop this cavalry squad must pay a heavy price.

Just as this'horse like a dragon, people like a wind' team arrived outside the orc stronghold in a high-speed assault without encountering any obstacles.

Her Royal Highness, the princess with a long knife in hand, rushed to the outside of the wall of the orc stronghold, only to see a large wave of people pouring out of it-the crowded heads, at least hundreds of people. They are also adventurers holding weapons.

"Isn't it about fighting?" Enisa pulled the reins fiercely, and the mount forcibly terminated the impact amidst his neighing. The hundreds of adventurers in front of her were all very powerful, and they all screamed and rushed to the other direction of the stronghold.

No matter how conceited, Enisa did not dare to confront such a wave of enemies. She had to stop, turned her horse's head, and watched the wave of people rushing past her in surprise.

If he rushed forward, he would be overwhelmed in the blink of an eye.

Think about it again, who are these adventurers going to attack? Who can be the enemy of so many fierce guys? Is there a more terrifying guy across from the crowd

The old knight Naser spent a year in the Black Forest, and after a closer look, he recognized many people. They are all leaders and backbones of various ministries, as well as their armed attendants. These people ran out of the stronghold, which means that the leader of this place, Schroeder, must be finished.

But what is going on

At this moment, a thin old man came out from behind the crowd, shouting in his throat: "One loses ten, one loses ten, bet on Schroder to win the bet here. Your Excellency Hugo's battle strength is unknown. , The chance of failure is great, come and take a gamble!"

When the thin old man shouted, many people came to surround him and took out a few silver coins to place a bet. Most people were attracted by the huge odds of'one pay ten' and bet on Schroder to win.

The thin old man cut apart a piece of wolf skin and recorded it with charcoal. But he yelled for a long time and only received a small bet of silver coins. This amount of money is too little for gambling, and it might be at a loss.

gambling

Such a big battle is actually for gambling

Inisa, who was holding the long knife, suddenly vented a bit. This situation seemed completely different from what she had expected. She breathed a sigh of relief, and rode her horse to the thin old man and asked, "What the hell happened? Who is betting against Schroeder?"

Uh..., the thin old man who takes the bet doesn't know the beautiful woman in front of him. He blinked and asked, "Madam, where are you from?"

"I am Inisa from the Principality of Oss. You should have heard of my name. I heard that Victor Hugo is here. Can you take me to find him?" Her Royal Highness rode on the tall horse and looked down. The thin old man who only reached her thigh.

When Enisa leaned over slightly, the thin old man felt that she was enveloped in the shadow of the other person. Hearing the title of Principality of Oss, he also exclaimed in his heart-no one in the Black Forest knew about this famous princess!

Seeing real people know that this princess is more beautiful than the rumors.

"Hello, Your Highness." The thin old man bent down to show his respect and said humbly: "We are holding a grand duel. Win or lose will determine the ownership of the orc stronghold. It is Victor who is facing Schroder. .Your Excellency Hugo."

"Victor Hugo personally participated in the duel?" Enisa was even more surprised, "Isn't he your leader?"

"Yes." The thin old man nodded and said deliberately vaguely: "This time we have brought troops from ten settlements to the orc stronghold. Your Excellency Schroeder has been defeated. But he refuses to accept it, so he still wants to talk to your leader Hugo. A duel is life and death."

Although Enissa on horseback still didn't understand what had happened, she could feel that the atmosphere was not tense. The gambling scene was not far from her, and the crowd just emerging from the stronghold had surrounded the open space over there.

It seems to be really a gambling fight.

"My husband and I are friends, please take me there." Inisa said, "Since it is a duel, I will personally cheer for him."

Seeing that the princess took the initiative to show his favor, the skinny Rubio was very proud of his master. He led Enissa and other knights out of the crowd of onlookers.

The others were all standing, and the princess who was riding on the horse naturally had a better line of sight, and could clearly see the two people standing in the surrounded scene.

One is Schroeder, a sturdy and powerful orc leader who is more than two meters tall and weighs nearly two hundred kilograms.

The other is inconspicuous, just a young man. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs just over 80 kilograms. He is far from Schroeder in size.

Does this still use gambling

Victor Hugo will definitely lose!

The crowd onlookers on the scene were all talking about it, among them there were many good players. It was accurately sensed that Zhou Qingfeng's strength was only one level, while Orc Schroeder was three. There is a big gap in the strength of the two sides.

Many people have faster heartbeats and their eyes are shining. After carefully examining the young people in the field over and over again, with their years of experience in fighting, many people concluded that Schroeder had won.

Immediately, a group of people sneaked up to Rubio and asked, "Can you still bet now?"

"of course can."

"I will bet Schroeder for the next gold coin."

"I'm next two."

"I want to bet too."

"Wait, only bet on Schroder to win? Then whose money shall we win?"

The people of the'Allied Forces' have no faith at all. Seeing that their boss is weak, they want to send a fortune. It's just a bunch of people placing bets, but they all stare at Rubio-what does this old man say, "one pay ten", and what does he pay

Rubio couldn't afford to lose it at all, he could only smile.

Just as the betting person kept asking, Enisa threw out a purse and shouted: "The gems in it should be worth a thousand gold coins. I beat Victor Hugo to win. A warrior who can challenge the red dragon. , How could you lose?"

Has your own boss challenged the Red Dragon? The faces of many people turned pale in an instant.
