Chapter 221 Breakthrough (1)
It is not difficult to get out of the chain tent without attention. Although the soldiers have already set off torches, limited lighting is easier to relax than pure darkness. People will intentionally or unintentionally focus on what they can see, and therefore neglect their alertness and awareness of things outside the lighting range. Despite this, there are never a shortage of sharpshooters on the grassland, and in addition to their amazing eyesight, their hearing and insight into subtle changes in the surrounding environment are also superhuman. It is not easy to slip away from these people's eyelids.
Fortunately, there were two people on the team who could regard darkness as dark as daytime, and mages who could use the magical vision, it was not impossible to avoid the attention of these people. The cat fairy led by Ata and Batu as support, Cheese was in the middle, and behind the Losa Temple, the group came out of their hiding place and moved carefully towards the tribe's periphery. It was impossible to find an absolutely unattentional path among the tribes at present. Private soldiers from the various descendants of the Wolf Lord have filled the nearby streets. What a few people can do is to pass quickly before they find it.
"You guys, go over there and take a look!" The calmed troops were a very insurmountable obstacle, because commanders with little experience would immediately send small groups of troops to scatter around the large troops as scouts and early warnings, so that no matter which direction the enemy attacked, the large troops had a certain amount of time to serve as buffers, so that they would not be caught off guard. But this made it difficult for the sneaking Cheese and the others, holding torches and groups of soldiers patrolling their necessary paths under the leadership of an archer riding horse. And because the few people happened to be in the cracks between two or three forces, there was more than one such patrol, and not only approaching them from one direction. If this continued, it would not take long for the team to fall into a situation where there was nowhere to hide.
"What should I do? These guys just form a surround and we can't pass through it." There is no need to see the details clearly in the dark. The Earl of Black Mountain can already make a clear judgment just by the light of torches and the sound of horseshoes and leather boots stepping on the ground. His judgment often means an unchangeable reality. With this current situation, it is too late to avoid the patrol by crossing the yurt.
"I'll go and pull them away." Kelas gave a method. The sound of the east and the west can be used in many occasions and has been tried and tested. Besides, they have successfully completed it many times using the characteristics of cat fairies.
But this time, Losa could not agree to use his skills again. "It's too late. If you lead one team away, the other teams will still find us. They hold the weapons tightly, and I guess they can only break through head-on unless..."
Unless the impossible gray robe can do something. However, Cheese shook his head gently in the eyes of his companions. He had just experienced a battle and was about to face another more difficult battle. He had to save his strength and could not waste magic on such things. No one questioned the mage's inaction. The members of the team believed that Cheese they knew would not be stingy with his power. There must be other reasons for him to remain silent now. Fortunately, the solution to the problem is never just magic, tomahawk, magic sword, short bow and dagger, which can clear the patrolmen who block the road.
"Don't see blood." The mage ordered this. This sounds a bit unreasonable. A small team of people needs to quickly break through enemies that are equivalent to or even more than them. Accurate and efficient killing is already a very difficult but safest way. But in this gray robe that doesn't come to help, it only makes the breakthrough more difficult with just a light sentence.
"Use a scabbard to hit the head or neck." The Count looked at Cheese deeply, without questioning his request, and instead made an order to the team members that were more likely to meet this request. Batu put away the bow and arrow in disappointment. He did not bring an arrow that would not hurt people. If he switched to a scimitar, the effect he could play would be much smaller. In this regard, the same is true for the cat fairy who was at a disadvantage in body shape.
The sound of torches and footsteps approached. The team members hiding behind the piled sacks held their breath and focused, and judged the distance between the target and their real encounter through the sound and shadows on the ground. One, two, three, now! Lothar's eyes opened to the maximum, raised his hand to signal the companion behind him, and then the person had rushed out of the hiding cover and jumped into the fire. The others were naturally unwilling to fall behind, and everyone, including Cheese, encountered a frontal encounter with the patrol team that he didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.
The first Lothar was aiming at the head of the patrol team, which was a middle-aged man riding on his horse, with his naked arms tattooed with a tattoo of a god. The Count did not hesitate. He lowered his head and knocked away what had not yet been reacted, and used the protective tape on his shoulder to rush straight towards the man like a wild boar. To quickly knock down a person on his horse, the best way to attack his horse. Although the war horses on the grassland generally have a higher tolerance for danger, as the Count hit the side of the horse hard, the load on the back made the horse lose its center of gravity uncontrollably.
"Ah!" The human scream and the neighing of the horse mixed into a sound, attracting the attention of everyone present. If you want to not kill the opponent but quickly knock it down, this is destined that the attack will not be silent. Since it cannot be silent, you must use the sound as a condition for your own side. Lothar wants to do this. Under his predecessor of the offensive, the other members of the team had the opportunity to launch their actions. The problem is that in the case of a number of disadvantages, this patrol team does not have no room for counterattack, and as the leader who leads the way, the earl will inevitably become the focus of the opponent's counterattack.
"Enemy attack!" The soldiers quickly realized their current situation. As a patrol team, their nerves were extremely tense. When they were stimulated, they immediately entered a state of fighting. The arrows were raised toward Losa's back. As the arrow was about to come out, a black figure was suddenly pressed from the sky and pressed on the arm that was arching, causing the archers to shoot the arrow into the land under their feet in panic. This was not over yet. Before the poor soldier could see clearly what was pressing on his arm, he was hit hard by the bottom of the dagger on his forehead. The strong impact rushed straight to his brain along the skull. The last thing he saw before he lost consciousness was a pair of faint vertical pupils.
