The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1764: rat road

Views:

War horses are galloping, and the golden swallowtail flag is waving in the wind.

The eagle on the flag is lifelike, as if it is really about to soar into the sky.

And under the banner, the cavalry guarded by the hundreds of Aitantine royal family sat on their horses neatly, their bodies undulating, and even the rhythm of the horses were exactly the same.

When anyone sees this cavalry team, they will admire its elite and fearsomeness.

Hundreds of people are like one.

It is not achievable at will.

That requires a huge supply of money and long hours of training.

What's more, this team is not flashy.

That kind of faint evil spirit will only appear on some battlefield veterans.

Therefore, as the leader of this team, Felix is very proud and proud.

As the confidant of the sixth emperor, he secretly helped the majesty clear the obstacles more than once.

And this time

Nature is no exception.

What's more, this task is really too simple.

Not assassination.

Not a raid.

It's not even a fight.

Just an 'escort'.

Escort the new lord of Sika to reach Eitantinople safely.

Thinking of the content of this mission, Felix couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Felix, who was born in a noble family, understood what His Majesty meant: firmly control the baroness in his own hands, otherwise, he would not have sent his youngest and handsome captain here.

In fact, he had already heard about the widowed baroness who was widowed in her early years.

Out of tune with the circle of nobility.

Loving, knowledgeable.

Of course, she was a well-known beauty when she was young. If she hadn't insisted on rejecting the royal family because of her weird personality, she might have already become the wife of a member of the royal family.

And now

The other party is only thirty years old.

The appearance will definitely not change too much.

Presumably, she has both the beauty of a girl and the beauty of a young woman.

He likes this kind of woman very much.

Not to mention, the huge legacy brought by the other party.

"If I can really take down this widow, maybe I won't be a team leader anymore!"

"And my family will definitely be promoted because of my promotion."

"Even... I can re-build a mansion in Fort Etendino."

Felix, who was caught up in the beautiful imagination of the future, felt full of strength all over his body.

He can't wait to appear in front of the baroness in an instant, and then show his demeanor and charm to capture the other party's heart.

As for his fiancée

He didn't care about that much anymore.

If the other party is willing to follow him anonymously when he completes this important step, he is still willing to accept the other party, if the other party minds

I'm sorry, it's just a fiancee, how could it be more important than his future and the whole family

Felix, who had made up his mind, had exceptionally firm eyes.

At this time, even if there is a lion blocking him in front of him, he will probably have the courage to fight.

However, animals like lions will not appear in Sika's territory.

The ice and snow here can only breed organisms that are hardy and adaptable.

For example…

mouse!

These rodents, accompanied by a large amount of fog, appeared silently in the dense forest on both sides of the avenue. They were very good at hiding themselves. The Aitantine royal guard who has lost speed.

There are no orders.

Naturally there was no offense.

They seem to be bystanders, watching all this.

The sudden heavy fog caused the whole team to move forward slowly, and then stopped.

Felix, who was sitting on his horse, couldn't help sneering a few times as he looked at the thick fog of more than ten meters in front of him.

After accepting this task, he of course paid close attention to everything that happened in Sikaland.

Of course he knew about the so-called 'fog' church.

However, Felix didn't take it to heart.

Because... behind him is the royal family of Aitantine!

"It's just a demigod who just completed his descent, do you really think you can be unscrupulous?"

"If you can't even deal with a demigod..."

"The Aitantine royal family has already been destroyed!"

With a sneer in his heart, the team leader raised his right hand.

Immediately, the subordinate cavalrymen unsheathed their long swords one by one.

The blade of the sword shone with cold light, and strange lines filled the wide and thick sword spine. Under the morning light, these lines bloomed with their own brilliance.

Magic weapon!

Moreover, it is not a single magic weapon.

It is a complete set of hundreds of magical weapons!

These magical weapons resonate with each other and strengthen each other.

In the end, it all converged on Felix.

An awe-inspiring aura appeared on Felix.

Feeling the power of a hundred people, Felix couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Although it was not the first time he felt such power, Felix was still amazed by himself at this time.

powerful!

Incomparably powerful!

In the face of this kind of power, what are those evils

Not to mention those who did not complete their descent, even those who completed their descent, he had killed two of them in this state.

And demigods

Involuntarily, a sneer full of sarcasm and killing intent appeared on Felix's face again.

He picked up the golden swallowtail flag tied behind his back.

Maybe he's a little worse against the demigod at this moment, but he came with the 'battle flag'.

Without hesitation, Felix poured all his strength into it.

Hey!

A cry of an eagle that shattered gold and stone resounded through the sky.

The lifelike falcon on the golden swallowtail flag is alive!

It moved its neck first, then turned its head to look at the fog. Its sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the fog, and saw everything in the fog.

Then-

It flew directly from the battle flag.

Without the eagle's battle flag, the golden color was dim, but the next moment, a richer golden color appeared on the eagle.

Like a slowly rising sun, the eagle kept flying upwards.

Sunlight is absorbed by it.

The light and heat brought by the sun gathered on it, and after just two breaths, this golden figure became impossible to look directly at.

Radiance, warmth.

Brilliant, dazzling.

It's like a second rising sun.

It's still climbing.

Not only the body, but also the momentum.

When it reached the apex visible to the naked eye, the eagle swooped straight down like a bomber, fell from the sky, and plunged straight into the fog.

Woo!

The strong wind brought by it blew the cheeks of Felix and the others, causing them to squint their eyes involuntarily. Even the well-trained war horse couldn't help but retreat at this time.

And the mist that blocked them rolled up, just like water boiling.

next moment-

boom!

A huge explosion rose into the sky.

The golden radiance swept across the surroundings.

The ground trembled for a few seconds before stopping.

And when the shaking of the ground stopped, the fog just dissipated.

There is also a figure that disappears together.

Very unclear.

Very vague.

But Felix saw it.

Several sharpshooters among his subordinates also saw it.

In this regard, neither Felix nor the marksmen were surprised.

This is normal!

After all, this battle flag was prepared for those so-called 'demigods'.

The sun once again sprinkled the earth.

All the members of Aitantine's royal guard could clearly see a huge pit with a diameter of tens of meters appeared on the ground in front of them.

Not only the avenues that go together, but even the dense forests on both sides have been affected by the pond fish.

"dismount!"

"Detour!"

Felix gave new orders.

Potholes as deep as two meters cannot be crossed by war horses.

Even if their horses are handpicked.

All the guards of the Aitantine royal family jumped off their horses one after another, led their own horses, and carefully walked around the edge of the pit.

In order to speed up, Felix divided the entire team into two groups, and went around the pit on both sides.

Although it was not crowded, the team was also chaotic.

In this regard, Felix did not stop.

Because, he knows very well that no matter how elite the team is, it is impossible to maintain uniformity at this time.

Besides, the biggest enemy has been killed.

leftover

Naturally it was the turn to receive the spoils.

Felix, who thought of the baroness again, immediately began to make plans.

As a young man of noble birth, he not only has many ways to chase girls, but also knows which way is the most suitable.

Thinking of certain situations, the sub-captain of Aitantine's Royal Guard couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

But what he didn't notice was that some small, gray-black figures were quietly approaching.

Then, Felix was even more attracted by the bad road surface.

Because of the high temperature brought by the explosion just now, the surrounding permafrost has completely softened, mixed with the snow water from the past, and the road under Felix's feet at this moment seems to be like mud.

Looking at the mud stained on his clean boots, Felix frowned, but in order not to let himself fall, he had to concentrate on walking on the edge of the deep pit with one shallow foot and one foot.

Not only Felix, but also his subordinates.

Even the most astute veterans are no exception.

After all, their worst enemy is gone, isn't it

Moreover, none of them want to fall in the mud and become the laughing stock of their colleagues.

until…

"ah!"

Suddenly a scream sounded from the team.

All members of the guard immediately drew their long swords and looked towards the place where the screams sounded.

A member of the guard is clutching his wrist, and at his feet is a squashed mouse.

"Damn it, rat!"

The member cursed under his breath, and then signaled to his surrounding colleagues that he was fine.

"You must have touched honey on your wrist, or how could a mouse bite you?"

"yes!"

Then, there was a burst of laughter.

Hearing such laughter, Felix didn't care.

However, the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart made him unable to help but look around.

Then, the team leader with excellent eyesight noticed something was wrong.

His complexion changed drastically.

"Notice!"

He reminded his subordinates loudly.

But, it's too late.

Groups of rats rushed up in swarms.

One hundred and fifty mice were divided into two teams with a clear division of labor.

Each one would rush towards a member of the royal guard, and the remaining fifty mice would go straight to the war horse.

Sigh!

The mice showed their sharp teeth, wantonly biting the neck and buttocks of the horses, after a few bites, they replaced the horses.

The pain caused the war horses to writhe their bodies non-stop, and the most direct impact was their owners.

The members of the guard standing beside the horse were already confused by the sudden mouse, but at this time they were knocked to the ground or brought to the ground by their own horse.

Originally, with the strength of these escort members, it would not be so unbearable.

But the relaxation after the enemy was wiped out made them lose their vigilance.

Coupled with the mud on the ground, their strength was greatly restricted.

Therefore, such a strange picture appeared——

A group of rats enjoys a brief victory against Eitandine's best troops.

The reason why it is a short-lived victory.

Naturally, it was because the rat's teeth could not cause any fatal damage to this team.

Unless it's biting the neck or something.

And the chances of that are extremely small.

It can basically be said to be negligible.

But it wasn't just rats that were present.

Knowing this well, Felix roared loudly.

"gather!"

"gather!"

The mouse had already been crushed to death by him.

However, Felix did not relax his vigilance, he knew very well that the mouse was just a tool for the enemy to disrupt the rhythm, and the real killing move was yet to come.

At this time, it is natural to gather the team and gather strength again.

But before the team gathered, the shadow under Felix's feet was distorted for a while, and the upper evil spirit came out of the shadow, and his palm brushed the opponent's neck.

puff!

Blood spurted out, Felix clutched his throat, and fell to the ground with disbelief on his face.

Felix, who had been on guard since the appearance of the mouse, couldn't believe that the enemy was hiding in his shadow.

Looking at Felix who fell to the ground, the high-level evil spirit, who had been hiding for a long time and used illusion to create a thick fog, glanced at the corner of his mouth.

Much easier than it imagined.

These guys come prepared.

And the goal is clear.

For most people, this is not good news, but it is good news for the higher level evil spirits.

Coming prepared is naturally targeted.

Simply put, it is far easier to deal with a group of preconceived people than to deal with enemies who are always on guard.

However, the opponent's ability was beyond the expectation of the upper evil spirit.

"Being able to establish a kingdom on a land with gods is really not a simple guy."

The upper evil spirit whispered to himself.

The high-level evil spirits will not underestimate the way of fighting that gathers the power of many people and merges it into one person.

It shares the same view as its own boss: Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

That's just a hundred people.

What if it is thousands of people

I'm afraid that even with its undead characteristics, it will suffer an irreversible blow.

But what about ten thousand people

It is estimated that God of War, Lady Calamity and the like must avoid their sharp edge.

Of course, the weaknesses are also obvious.

That 'one person' was not chosen at random.

Not only people, but also swords.

The high-ranking evil spirit possessing enough equivalent mystical knowledge picked up Felix's saber without hesitation, smiled at the members of the royal guard who rushed towards it, waved his hand, and just disappeared in place .

Then…

The fog appeared again.

The shouts of anger turned to panic at will.

then

It gradually became silent.
