Kant led the team forward.
The horse's hooves hit the sand layer, making a slight "pop" sound.
Everyone moved forward at a constant speed, getting closer and closer to the sand dunes with attackers in front of them, but as if they hadn't noticed any danger, they still let their horses gallop and trudged on as usual.
Kant, who led the team ahead, looked calm.
As for the back, the helmets of the 10 Swadian knights are the overall giant helmets.
It is similar to a bucket helmet, with the whole head buckled inside, only thin strip-shaped lookout holes for the eyes, and a fine mesh of holes for breathing between the mouth and nose.
It is impossible to observe their facial expressions.
So they can keep vigilant at all times and observe the enemy ahead through the lookout hole.
Although the vision of the lookout hole is limited, it is still no problem to focus on a certain area for detailed observation. For example, behind the dunes that have been determined ahead, as the distance approaches, they all hold the cone guns in their hands and are always ready to charge. Or pull out the mace at your waist and fight hand-to-hand!
They must make sure that Lord Kant will not be threatened. Even if they themselves are in danger or even die in battle, they must ensure the safety of their lord, the supreme Kant!
For example, now, they have seen a red glow suddenly appearing in front of them.
"Danger!"
The Swadian knights immediately spread out to both sides.
The knights on both sides of Kant immediately raised their kite-shaped shields and rode their horses between the red light and Kant. The faces under the giant helmets were firm and fearless.
"Protect the adults!"
They roared angrily, and others ran around Kant.
I'm afraid there are other abnormalities besides the red light that was shot at extremely fast.
Fortunately not.
"Om—"
The red light touched the ground in an instant, and the scorching breath was like a storm, roaring and rising into raging flames. Within the range of 5 x 20 meters, a wall of blazing flames that blocked the progress and blazed instantly surged up!
Kant reined in his horse, gritted his teeth slightly in the face of the oncoming heat wave.
It's an extraordinary spell!
The flames rose in the tumbling, burning and rising more than 3 meters high.
The heat wave spread at this 20-meter-long wall of fire. Kant and the others, who were 10 meters away, felt as if they were in a furnace. Even the horses under their crotches could not stop neighing. Lie Yan (raging flames) made it impossible for the war horse, which was still a domesticated beast, to remain calm.
But Kant and the knights were still superb in their riding skills. After a long period of training, these war horses still had a tacit understanding with the riders. Although they kept retreating, they did not panic.
"Enemy attack! Spread out!"
The knights also screamed, surrounded Kant, and seemed to want to leave after turning the horse's head.
It's just that the attackers will never let them go.
"Whizzing-"
Suddenly, there was a shrill scream at the sand dunes.
From far to near.
The shriek that dragged became more and more horrific, and the speed was extremely fast!
Kant couldn't help frowning.
Even the Swadian knights behind them gritted their teeth secretly.
"Raise the shield!"
The last two Swadian knights in the rear raised the kite-shaped shields on their left arms instantly.
The movements were tempered, as standard as a textbook, and in a very short moment, he rode his horse and came behind Kant, and directly raised the kite-shaped shield to stand behind Kant, just blocking the scream!
And that scream came immediately!
"Dang!" "Dang!"
A dull sound suddenly appeared on the kite-shaped shield.
The Swadian knight holding the shield in his left arm did not shake at all, and was still riding his horse steadily, but on the kite-shaped shield with a golden lion on a red background, two white feathered arrows had already been nailed hard. After entering the shield, the arrowhead was covered by the iron covering, and the inertia carried by the arrowhead made the tail feathers shake continuously.
This is extremely precise shooting, and this special white feathered arrow is different from the traditional feathered arrows of the Lion Principality, more like the white feathered heavy arrows that are popular in the Silver Plate Kingdom and are famous for their great power!
Similarly, the archery level of the two archers is also very high.
In the eyes of Kant and others, they already have superb archery comparable to the Ravenston ranger.
This is by no means pejorative.
But praise!
The Ravenston ranger is an archery veteran who has been immersed in bows and arrows for more than 20 years. He is a superb archery master trained in the foggy forest, second only to the Ravenston ranger who can't see the tail of the dragon.
Kant looked stern, and slowly turned his head to look.
On the sand dune not far away, two archers with hoods and leather robes have appeared on the top of the sand dune. They drew out the new heavy arrows with white feathers in the quiver on their backs and continued to put them on the war bow. superior.
Pulling out the full moon, she gracefully let go of her fingers, and in an instant there was that ear-piercing scream again.
The target went straight to Kant's face!
"Dang!" "Dang!"
The kite-shaped shield was held high, a thick and sophisticated shield wrapped in iron, and once again withstood two thickened and heavier feathered arrows.
And just for a moment.
The Swadian knights had surrounded Kant a hundred meters away.
With the cover of the kite-shaped shield, even the two archers on the sand dunes could not continue to shoot, which posed too much threat to Kant, not to mention that Kant also had a close-fitting fine chain armor under his linen robe.
"My lord, please be vigilant!"
The Swadian knights concealed Kant in the middle.
On the side, the knight captain reported to Kant Express: "We have found the opponent's position. Are we allowed to charge and defeat the enemy as soon as possible?"
"No, wait."
Kant narrowed his eyes and rejected his proposal.
Looking at the two archers on the sand dune with their bows put away, Kant said in a deep voice, "The good show is yet to come."
Flames swept across the ground to form a wall of fire, and at the sand dune, the mysterious mage holding a staff and also wearing a hood and leather robe finally reappeared, and raised his staff, chanted a mysterious spell, and shot a fiery beam among the gemstones The light instantly covered Kant's retreat path.
The flames were also burning fiercely, and the violent flames rose up, forming a terrifying wall of flames that was 5 meters wide and 20 meters long, hindering Kant's retreat.
And just on the sides.
At more than one time, seven mysterious people who also wore hoods and leather robes but held fine steel long swords appeared.
It seems that they want to get close and kill Kant's attackers.
"Stop! Stranger!"
A Swadian knight reprimanded angrily: "This is the youngest son of Cameron the Lion, the baron of the Lion Principality, the ruler of the Nalun Desert, the lord of the sentry oasis, Lord Kant!"
Looking at the seven attackers on the left and right, he said righteous words without any trembling in his tone, let alone the slightest fear in his heart: "Do you know that what you are doing now has violated the law of the nobility and will be hanged, even if After death, they will be punished by the God of War, Emond, and exiled to the Mysterious War Realm to accept the endless cruel war!"
"Heh..." Regarding the knight's reprimand, the seven assailants holding fine steel long swords were not moved at all, but some of them laughed lightly, as if hearing a ridiculous joke.
This is of course the line that Kant authorized the knight to speak.
Can laugh out loud mockingly.
Looking at the appearance of these seven attackers, Kant knew that they were indeed from the Principality of Lions.
After all, except for the nobles and commoners of the Principality of Lions, who knew the truth about him as a baron, the nobles and commoners of other kingdoms would not care about him, a poor exiled wretch.
Of course, this kicked off the good show.
Kant need not back down.
Looking at the sides calmly, the 7 attackers were getting closer.
The King's Sword in the sheath at the same waist was trembling faintly, reminding Kant that someone among them was a high threat to him and needed to be cautious and careful.
And right next to them, the Swadian knights held their cone-headed spears flat, with solemn faces under their giant helmets.
The war horses planed the sand under their feet restlessly.
"I will solve it, and you will eat ashes behind."
One of the attackers ahead chuckled.
For Kant and those knights, the pupils under the hood were full of disdain and sarcasm.
"Die!"
Almost instantly, one of the attackers pulled out his long sword and moved forward.
The fiery red rays of light exploded all over his body, like raging flames, and his speed soared. Even if the knights rode forward and stabbed straight with their awl spears, they were easily dodged by his footsteps.
Instead, Kant's figure is getting closer and closer.
His idea is simple, capture the thief first, capture the king first, and kill Kant first!
"So fast."
Kant drew his sword, with a bit of horror in his eyes.
The speed of the attacker is extremely fast, and he is a real big knight!
The same is true of the scorching breath.
Even though Kant had the body of a knight, he still couldn't turn his body around to avoid the swiftly splitting sword. He could only subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, and let the king's sword at his waist be pulled out instantly and swung from bottom to top, thinking You must use your own weapons to barely resist the fine steel long sword that is coming towards you!
"when-"
The two swords interlaced, but the assailant's eyes showed extreme horror.
The fine steel long sword in his hand could not be held.
But the sword of the king in Kant's hand cut off his fine steel long sword with ease, like cutting butter. Following the attacker's inertia, it cut through half of his body, from the lower left rib to the right. The neck was cut directly across in an instant, and a rain of blood was poured out.
And in the rain of blood, the viscera, which was also chopped into two sections, crashed over Kant's head, thumped and fell directly on the sand, rolled into the raging flames, and turned into a pile of coke convulsively and struggling.
"Damn it!"
An exclamation came from behind.
Originally, he was still watching the excitement from behind, waiting for this guy to deal with all of Kant's attackers, his face was full of incredible horror.
There are also 2 archers and a mysterious mage at the top of the dunes.
All eyes widened.
Seeing Kant riding his horse and holding the gold-plated long sword, the original horror directly turned into greed.
"It's the sword! It's mine!"
The greed in the eyes of the big knight headed by him was even worse. He was sure that the long sword in Kant's hand was a treasured magic sword. Even the big knight could be cut off with one blow, even reaching the legendary artifact level!
But just when they want to go out in groups.
His figure suddenly stiffened.
At the surrounding wall of fire, a knight radiating golden light appeared at some unknown time.
At the sand dunes, there are also similar knights standing beside them.
