Among the rolling sand dunes, 10 mysterious people covered in leather robes and hoods are waiting quietly. Behind them, 10 horses stand like puppets, with dull eyes and extreme fatigue.
At the end, a mysterious man wearing a hood spoke anxiously: "The duration of the spell will not be too long. If we cannot solve Kant within the next 12 hours, then I suggest retreating immediately, otherwise we will About to walk out of the damn desert on two legs."
"That's your problem." The mysterious man in the lead said indifferently: "You are responsible for riding the horse. If there is a problem, it is naturally your responsibility. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
"Oh, damn it!"
The last mysterious man was enraged, he raised the staff in his hand, and said in an angry voice: "Don't think I'm afraid of you, you must know that if someone didn't pay a high price, otherwise with my identity, I should be here Drinking the best black tea and enjoying delicious desserts in the Mage Tower!"
"This is the law of your life, so there is no need to say more." The mysterious man who can be the leader is not afraid at all, his tone is still indifferent, and his voice is steady: "But if something goes wrong, you will also pay the price."
"You're threatening me." The man narrowed his eyes, and raised his staff inlaid with gems.
"Threats? No, you misunderstood, I'm just telling the truth."
The mysterious man in the lead seemed unaware of the power of the elements in the air, and said lightly: "There are many mages in the mage tower, and my master paid a price to invite you, so you have to play your corresponding value. After a pause, he turned his head slowly, and looked at the mysterious man at the back indifferently: "Also, shut your whining mouth, otherwise you won't be able to return to your mage tower alive."
"You..." The mysterious man at the back gritted his teeth. On the top of the staff in his hand, a dark red light was bred in the gemstone, just like the flames contained in it, which could not stop spinning, and could burst into terrifying scorching flames at any time.
But in the end he was not released.
With a cold snort, he lowered his staff in great indignation, stood behind with a cold face and stopped talking.
But the atmosphere in the team eased down.
The headed mysterious man's expression was calm, but there was more sarcasm in his eyes.
For these mage towers, the mages who live a good life and like to study magic, fight to the death on the battlefield, and the great knights who have worked hard day and night in the training ground to get excellent physique, have stronger melee attacks.
That's right, he is the great knight who possesses mysterious and extraordinary power.
within a distance of less than 3 meters.
Even let this mysterious fire mage cast the spell first.
The end result is still that he can survive.
Because of such a short distance, he arrived in no time, and with his sword drawn, he could easily kill this arrogant and arrogant mage, which was very simple for him.
It's just that I have to worry about the next task, and I still need the help of this mage.
Including the other 8 mysterious people behind them, they were all outlaws and strong men recruited by the master at a huge cost, in order to kill Baron Kant, who was about to pass by on this road and was protected by many elite cavalry. It is a task that only allows success, not failure!
If it wasn't for this reason, he would have easily killed this mage long ago. After all, in close combat, even a high-level mage is no match for him, an ordinary great knight.
Others watched with dismay.
They were gathered together because of their interests.
To be honest, even for this task, they all felt that they were overqualified and could easily complete it.
It was just killing a little nobleman.
He is still known to the whole country, exiled in the desert, the most unfavored youngest son of the duke.
Baron Kant.
I'm afraid they killed the baron. If they act carefully, they probably won't be wanted. Perhaps burying the body in the desert will make it difficult for others to figure out whether this baron has absconded and escaped from the cruel environment of the Nalun Desert. , or was really killed.
Now the public opinion in the Lion Principality is mainly about when the Baron Kant died in the Nalun Desert and when he escaped from the Nalun Desert. As for the so-called development, it is really ridiculous.
Can this ghostly place, the Nalun Desert, still develop
Oh, and found a salt mine.
But even the appearance of this salt mine is not something that the exiled baron can set foot in!
So they all stood here quietly waiting, looking at the road made by the footprints of camels outside the sand dune under their feet, they knew that Kant's team was coming next.
They felt relieved about this, and some people turned their heads to look at the barren desert in boredom, especially when they felt that the temperature was getting hotter and hotter with the appearance of the sun, compared with the severe cold when it was almost winter at night, they were secretly glad that there was no Being reduced to survive in this environment, just like what everyone described about the Nalun Desert, is really terrifying like hell.
The mysterious man in the head also felt emotional, that there is actually a salt mine in such a place, and the fine white salt it produces is no less than the fine white salt purchased from the dwarf kingdom.
The interests are moving, and the heart of greed suddenly rises.
That's why the master behind him made this choice.
Command them remotely to kill Kant, the titular lord, and the chaotic situation will benefit the lord behind him to enter the desert and snatch the salt mine!
Slightly squinting, this mysterious big knight raised his head, and on the sand dunes in the distance, groups of black spots appeared, and he was galloping on the undulating sand dunes at a fast pace under the sun, and occasionally there were a few bright colors flickering over , it looks like the polished armor is reflecting the sunlight.
"Here we come." He said in a deep voice, with one hand already deep inside the linen burqa, holding the long sword he carried with him: "Everyone, I think you all understand your mission."
"certainly."
Answers came from behind, including the cold snort of the mysterious mage at the end.
But no one cares about that now.
They slowly retreated, riding on the back of the bloodshot, dull-eyed, seemingly exhausted, but still energetic steed, circled the sand dunes and lay in ambush, preparing for a sudden attack.
Their plan is perfect, in fact, anyone else would have stepped into this trap.
Kant is different.
He has been warned by the system.
During the attack, not only he himself, but also the 33 Swadian royal knights behind him, and the remaining 70 Swadian knights, all cheered up and observed the front, two wings and the rear with great vigilance. .
And when they climbed over the sand dune at their feet and formally entered the sand dune area with a more complex and continuous environment, the royal knights whose eyes were strengthened and who could see far away instantly found that they were riding their horses and were planning to move to the back of the sand dunes. 10 mysterious people, report immediately.
"Your Majesty Kant, if you guess correctly, those people are the attackers."
The captain of the royal knights spoke.
In a short period of time, they have been divided into 3 standard combat teams according to 11 people and 1 team.
This is convenient for command.
At the same time, when approaching the enemy, they can disperse their attacks and concentrate their breakthroughs, which is the traditional routine of heavy cavalry.
As experienced top heavy cavalry, these royal knights certainly have excellent combat qualities. For example, forming a team by themselves and protecting Lord Kant in wartime are all necessary measures, needless to say.
"Okay." Kant nodded.
He also saw the black shadow disappearing from the sand dunes in the distance.
However, with his knight body, he could still see it vaguely. It was only because he was vigilant and focused on the terrain in front of him that he could detect a little bit.
Now that they have discovered it, they can react now. The heavy cavalry led by Kant are all elites!
The Royal Knights are the elite among the elite!
The owner of extraordinary power!
3 teams of royal knights, each with 2 teams of knights, slowly dispersed in this desert.
The horseshoes of the horses under the crotch stomped heavily on the sand layer, but due to the softness of the sand layer itself and the addition of the system blessing, it would not completely sink into the horseshoes, so the sound of the horses galloping seemed very slight.
Although it cannot take advantage of the speed advantages of plain land and stone roads.
But the concealment is greatly increased.
If it was a plain land or a stone road, the roar would have shaken the eardrums long ago, resounding through the sky.
Kant personally led 10 knights forward.
Their speed remained the same, still giving the attackers an appearance that they hadn't noticed, but outside the sand dunes on both sides, the royal knights and knights surrounded by the growth dragon formation were faster.
In particular, the 33 royal knights, like the heads of long cones, rode their horses across the sand dunes with ease, and the horses under their crotches seemed to possess mysterious power. Those ordinary knights took a long distance and arrived at the predetermined encirclement location in the shortest time.
But Kant and the others had only traveled more than half the distance.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
The royal knights and knights who entered the anti-ambush site also began to move quietly in the low-lying places of the sand dunes.
All walk in preparation.
Including the mysterious assailants behind the sand dune.
They were very sure that from the cavalry they saw and the information they received, there should be a large number of cavalry protecting Kant, which is definitely different from the current 11 people, which is pitifully small.
A bit of surprise appeared in the hearts of everyone.
But as Kant approached, they suppressed their surprise.
They are just ordinary heavy cavalry, maybe they have the rank of knights, but there are only 10 people here, which of them has mastered the existence of extraordinary power, as long as they are careful, they can destroy this group of guys in minutes!
This is not arrogance, but the confidence brought by strength!
only.
At the end, the mysterious sorcerer with the staff in his hand had a bit of resentment in his eyes under the mask.
Sweeping across the group of guys in front of me, I felt even more humiliated.
He suddenly had a way to complete the task perfectly and secretly solve his troubles!
The fire element is jumping at the fingertips.
Expert level fire arrows are ready.
If the opportunity permits, he will pretend to miss accidentally, and let this spell, which can pierce the armor and explode inside the body, appear behind the leader's extraordinary knight.
If you offend the noble mage, you must accept the punishment you deserve!
