In the afternoon, the sun shines.
Kane's team, who had driven for a day's journey, was advancing on the wide mud-rock road.
At the end of the front is an endless forest, which is named by the locals as the Dosia dense forest. There are many strange plants, many of which have the effect of healing injuries, so it also attracts many people to come to pick and sell them.
Of course, there is another characteristic of this forest, that is, there is a powerful group of forest thieves, who will come and go from time to time to snatch the money of passers-by. If you don't have any valuables, you will be killed by them.
The dense forest of Docia is the only route to the royal capital, so Kane and others cannot bypass it.
The five knights around the carriage looked at the approaching woods and began to raise their vigilance.
A team leader who was in the lead said: "Be careful, we have to protect the safety of adults."
"Yes, Captain." The others replied.
Three members of the knight team rode a steed to the front to open the way, while the other two guarded the carriage.
The road ahead has also changed from a wide dirt road to a narrow dirt road.
Everyone moved forward, and their bodies came into contact with the branches and leaves in the forest from time to time.
After walking for about an hour, except for the unchanging scenery around, I didn't encounter the so-called thieves.
Just when several cavalrymen were a little relaxed, there was a sound in the distance.
The team leader pulled out his sharp sword and looked forward vigilantly.
As the team got closer, the noise became louder.
In the end, it turned into the sound of fighting.
The captain raised his hand to stop the coachman, and led two cavalry forward to investigate.
They got off their horses, squatted down, and approached the front step by step.
When they came near the sound of fighting, they realized that it was forest thieves who were robbing travelers of their money.
On the road ahead, a carriage stopped aside, and the driver of the carriage fell into a pool of blood.
From the wide-open car door, an extraordinary man with the appearance of a noble came out. He was leading several cavalrymen to resist the attack of thieves.
Not only did the thieves have several first-order transcendents, but they also had far more thieves than the other side.
It can be seen that the nobles' members are already in danger under the opponent's offensive, and they may lose in a short while.
The cavalry captain didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly led the two back to Kane's carriage.
He tapped lightly on the window.
Kane immediately opened the car window and asked.
"what happened?"
The captain of the cavalry squad replied: "My lord, there is a noble in front who has been attacked by forest thieves and is already in retreat."
Kane got up immediately, got out of the carriage, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, go and support!"
"Yes, my lord." The cavalry squad hurried forward to help each other.
Kane also rushed forward with Catherine and Sitz.
The cavalry squad, which was ahead of several people, had already collided with the thieves. They bravely used their horses to charge away, and the thieves were besieging the noble.
Kane shouted to a group of thieves: "You dare to attack the nobles, you deserve death!"
A thief with an extraordinary swordsman smiled disdainfully: "Hmph, here comes another murderer. We don't care if you are noble or not, but we will take your money with a smile."
After finishing speaking, the thieves Chaofan beside him also laughed, not paying attention to Kane and the others who rushed over.
But to put it bluntly, there were only three Transcendents on Kane's side, and with that noble, there were only four.
On the side of the forest thieves, there are five first-level transcendents, one more than them.
Don't underestimate the extra person, on the battlefield sometimes one more extraordinary person can change the direction of the war, let alone this kind of battle now.
Coupled with the more than 40 troops on the bandits' side, Kane and the others can be crushed even if they are crushed.
But obviously this group of forest thieves were very unlucky. They met Kane. He is not an existence that can be speculated according to ordinary theories.
Kane first sent out three sword qi, and attacked the few people who had just laughed.
The extraordinary thieves raised their weapons to resist.
"clang."
"clang."
"flutter."
An unlucky fellow didn't react in time, and his right arm was cut by the sword energy.
"Ah, it hurts to death!"
"Hahaha, Gerald was hacked." The accomplice immediately laughed at the other party.
"Isn't it? You brag to us every day, bragging about this and that. I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable."
The thief who was chopped up became a little angry, and he retorted loudly: "Don't laugh at me, sir, I will cut off that kid's head right away."
Immediately, the extraordinary thief rushed towards Kane with the machete in his hand.
He slashed down vigorously with the saber, and the red spiritual source condensed on the blade, and everything he passed was cut away.
Kane retreated easily, avoiding the offensive, waiting for the moment when the opponent's action ended, and suddenly approached.
His right hand thrust out sharp claws instantly, piercing through the thief's chest.
As the opponent slowly fell, Kane's right hand also returned to its original shape, and no one noticed this change.
In the eyes of a group of extraordinary thieves on the opposite side, Kane seemed to speed up, and suddenly appeared in front of Gerd, and somehow made him fall down.
"There's something wrong with this kid, boss." Some thieves sensed something was wrong.
The extraordinary thief who laughed disdainfully before also said: "Well, everyone and I will kill that weird boy first."
As the only high-ranking person present at the first level, the thief boss thought that no one could beat him, so he took the lead in rushing towards Kane.
But before they got close, a fiery fireball hit their position.
The thieves ran away in embarrassment. They were unharmed, but the ordinary thieves behind them were all set on fire. They ran around and screamed in pain.
"Penrith, Fakli, you two go and kill that mage, that damned guy, it actually cost me some more brothers."
"Yes, boss."
The leader of the thieves came to Kane with another extraordinary thief.
"Noble boy, I don't care what tricks you have, but it won't work in front of me."
Kane asked with a smile, "Are you sure?"
In an instant, three more sword qi attacked them.
The thief boss scattered the sword energy calmly, and Chaofan beside him was also good, relying on his own strength to guide the sword energy to the side, and finally hit the tree.
"Come on, Dusted, let this guy see how good we are."
Spiritual sources gathered in the hands of the two, and they slashed at Kane.
On the other side, two swordsmen and extraordinary thieves also rushed towards Sitz.
Sitz didn't panic, but quickly chanted the spell, trying to release the spell before they attacked.
Of course, Catherine next to Sitz was not a vegetarian either. She stepped forward alone and resisted the attacks of the two with her superb sword skills.
"This bitch has two strokes."
"Isn't that right, don't rush to kill later."
The two thieves were still chatting leisurely, which made Catherine feel a little angry.
She immediately increased the strength of the slash.
At this moment, Sitz's voice came from behind.
"Catherine, hide!"
The tacit understanding in the past few months made Catherine completely believe in Sitz's words.
She immediately rolled to the side.
"boom!!"
The violent fireball hit the two thieves on the spot.
