Chapter Twelve Strategies (End of Volume)(1/2)
Dada dada...
There were sounds of horse hooves, and many tall figures appeared in the deep forest. When Parr looked closely, he found that they were light armored cavalry riding war horses. Their light armor styles were uniform, and the pace of the war horses under their crotch was also very rhythmic. While walking slowly, the escaped bandit archers were forced to retreat.
"This is……"
"The Knights of the Mist."
John walked to Parr and squinted his eyes to look at the cavalry. After seeing that the light armor worn by the cavalry was exactly the same as the light armor on the cavalry that protected Miss Demi, he immediately understood the identities of these cavalry.
"kill!"
The leading cavalry, ah, no! A bronze-level knight raised his spear in his hand and pointed it. The cavalrymen who left the deep forest immediately showed terrifying lethality. The horses accelerated and rushed towards the bandit archers and melee bandits.
Dada dada...
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and the cavalry rushed past Parr and John. The knight, who should be the commander, rode over and asked condescendingly: "Adventurers hired by the Mist Caravan? Is there any evidence?"
While speaking, the Knight held the spear in his hand tightly. John chuckled indifferently, took out the task commission receipt from his arms and opened it and raised it.
"Um."
After seeing clearly, the knight nodded, said no more, rode his horse and followed his subordinates, and began to harvest the remaining bandits here.
"It's not simple!"
John and Parr looked back at the figures of the Misty Knights cavalrymen, realizing that this was something unusual. How long has the battle happened? Misty Knights arrived, and they didn't look like they were traveling a long distance at all, and they didn't feel tired at all.
This shows that they should have been ambushed here for a long time, no, they should be a place not too far away from here. Only after the battle started here can they come quickly.
...
At the same time, the bandits on the side of the Mist Caravan's garrison also suffered a catastrophe. Behind them, a group of cavalry from the Mist Knights also appeared, surrounding them and harvesting them, and blood flowed into a river for a while.
The same is true for the front battlefield. This is where the bandits are back. After the battle started on the side of John's guards, as the rain of arrows moved forward, the front battlefield seemed to have received a signal. With a swish, more than a hundred bandits emerged.
The newly emerging bandits did not attack immediately, but tied the unlucky caravan to the pack horse, led the pack horse at the foggy caravan's base and covered the pack horse's eyes, lit the caravan, hoping to break through the defense line of the foggy caravan with the "train".
However, before the bandits' plans succeeded, there were endless sounds of horse hooves around them. After they came to their senses, they realized that they seemed to have been fooled.
Especially the bandit leader here, when he saw the man who was leading among the cavalry around him, his eyes widened and a disbelief exclaimed:
"Mist Viscount!"
Viscount Misty, wearing bright silver armor, rode a big red horse with a high-headed horse with a horse's hooves as snow and a scorpion tail. This was actually a mount with the bloodline of the monster, and the bloodline concentration looked quite high.
"kill!"
Viscount Misty did not talk nonsense, pulled out the long sword from his waist and drew a termination talisman for the "accident" encountered by the Misty Caravan this time.
Dada dada...
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and the bandits' howls resounded through the sky. The bandit leader who had been hiding his strength on the front battlefield burst out with a fighting spirit representing the high-level bronze knight, but it was useless.
The king vs. the general vs. the soldiers vs. the soldiers, and the well-equipped Misty Viscount directly approached the bandit leader. During the charge, a misty phantom appeared on the surface of his body.
boom!
In just a moment, the fighting spirit around the bandit leader was destroyed, and his head flew into the sky without any sign of his eyes.
...
This is a plan to lead a snake out of the hole. It is true that the fog caravan goes to Qinghe Town, and it is true that Miss Demi goes to Fluorescent City. But it is precisely because of the truth that the bandit leaders who received the news relaxed their vigilance.
The mist master planned all this, first let the bandits' eyeliners in the mist city send back the news, and then let the eyeliners arranged by himself among a group of bandits inspire the leader of the bandits to join forces with other bandits to rob the mist caravan.
The whole plan went smoothly. The only thing that made Viscount Misty a little regretful was that it only seduced three groups of bandits this time.
But it's almost done. After this battle, after letting go of the news, it will definitely shock the bandits on the commercial road, so that they will not dare to rob the fog caravan again.
...
"Father!"
After seeing Viscount Misty, Demi cheered in surprise and hurriedly ran over to save Viscount Misty and began to act spoiled as usual, with the purpose of leaving here. She didn't want to go to Fong City anymore, because the road was too dangerous.
But Viscount Misty shook his head and rejected his beloved daughter. He pressed Demi's thin shoulders and said in a deep voice:
"Demi, you have to go to Fluorescent City, join Fluorescent Academy, study for a few years, and then you will know how ridiculous your thoughts are at this moment."
"I……"
Demi wanted to say something, but when she saw Viscount Misty's serious gaze, she lowered her head and swallowed the words in her mouth.
Looking at his depressed daughter, Viscount Misty's eyes softened, raised his hand and rubbed Demi's soft hair, patted his chest and promised:
"Okay, Demi, you don't have to worry. I promise I won't encounter bandits on the road ahead."
"oh!"
Demi responded, but still looked a little depressed.
Alas~
Viscount Misty sighed secretly. His daughter was too pampered and spoiled. She had to go through guidance and tempering to become a talent. Otherwise, she would only become a bargaining chip for marriage with other nobles when she grew up, which was useless.
At this point, Viscount Misty thought of the tutor he had found for Demi, but looked around and didn't see Darlena.
Viscount Misty frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Jim, where is Darlena?"
"Lord, Darlena, she's going to support the rear."
Jim stood straight, after performing a knight salute, raised his hand and pointed to the rear of the Mist Caravan's station.
Now, Viscount Misty frowned even tighter, and he asked with a hint of anger in his voice:
"Why don't you go?"
"I……"
Jim opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just glanced at Demi.
“…”
The shrewd Viscount Misty instantly guessed the reason, then stepped forward and patted Jim on the shoulder, and praised him.
"Good done! But..."
Viscount Misty changed his words and continued to say in a deep voice:
"Jim, don't call Darlena next time this happens. Death of a few guys and adventurers is nothing, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Jim stood even more straight, and at the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart.
"Aristocrat..."
...
"Little one, where did your sword come from?"
After the cavalry left, John finally had time to speak well with Pal. Before he could scold Pal for his reckless behavior, he was attracted by the black long sword in Pal's hand.
"This!"
Parr knew that sooner or later he would have encountered this, and he would definitely use the black dagger that became in the next journey, so he had already thought of an excuse.
Parr raised the black sword in his hand with excitement and said, "Uncle John, I'll go to the street stall tonight..."
Pal first talked about the fact that he had "good luck" to open a spirit stone from the gem stall tonight, and said that he accidentally touched the spirit stone and the black dagger. The black dagger absorbed the spirit stone, and then it turned out like this.
In the end, I just said one sentence: "I don't know either!"
"Uncle John, do you know what's going on?" Pal fooled him, and in the end he asked John what's going on.
"I think about it..."
After listening, John thought about it carefully, first of all, he ruled out the possibility of holy sword fragments in the black short sword, and then he gave a possibility based on what he saw and heard, that is:
"Little one, your sword may be a spiritual tool, the kind of spiritual tool that needs to be inlaid with spirit stones to play a role, so that's how it is."
"Yeah?"
Parr nodded and felt relieved. It was a fool. In the future, you can use the black dagger's change function openly. Don't ask, it's a magical spiritual tool.
"Good luck boy."
After such interruption, John forgot to scold Parr for his rash behavior of breaking into the enemy formation alone. He smiled and shook his head, then thought about it and asked:
"Little one, how did you get this sword?"
How could an ordinary naughty child in a village have a magical spiritual tool?
"Dad Jack said it was left by my parents."
There is nothing to hide, because Pal himself didn't know it, and he had no impression of his biological parents in his memory.
“…”
John, who knew Pal's identity as an orphan, said nothing more. He was afraid of irritating Pal, so he just buried his doubts in his heart.
"This young parent has a very different origin."
