Chapter 32 The smell of iron in the snow

The cavalrymen wearing breastplates and helmets took up positions at the end of the jungle in advance, ready to follow the commander's orders to launch an attack.

The leader of the Rhian black-armored rider in the cavalry phalanx is a red-haired middle-aged noble commander, Baron Burrat Meyer, one of the younger brothers of Marquis Meyer.

He came from a large noble family of the northern Rhea people, the Meyer family, which was the most important family among the many noble forces in the country that rebelled against the king.

However, the Meyer family is too large. Even if the family is defeated and the peace talks are negotiated, the king will never dare to kill the Meyer family. However, the Meyer family will be in a downturn for a long time from now on.

Maybe it will be a few years or a few decades, but a hundred years from now the Meyer family will definitely still be Rhea's top nobles!

All members of the Meyer family firmly believe in the future of the family, and everyone is willing to sacrifice their life, freedom, and dignity to fight for the glory of the entire family!

Unity is the motto of the Meyer family!

Cold air breathed out from the black helmet. Burrat tightly grasped the reins in his hands and looked at the two squire knights beside him.

"There's still time. Once we get that thing, we'll head north immediately."

One of the two squire knights was burly and the other was thin. The burly squire knight asked: "What about those infantry teams?"

"They can only stay in Siat."

Burlat was silent for a while, and then continued with regret: "The army of Black Iron Duke Horston of Siyat is in Fein City, and they will definitely come to intercept us."

"We are cavalry and can still have a chance to escape. The infantry team has basically no chance."

The name of the Dark Iron Duke is simply heard like thunder. The old man is the terrible demon, butcher and madman who has defeated the Rhea people many times.

Whenever a Rhea person thinks of such an old man, his heart will always feel heavy.

But Burrat thought that if his brother, Marquis Meyer, had the opportunity to fight the Black Iron Duke on the battlefield in the future, he might not have a chance to win against the legend.

Hearing that the infantry team would be wiped out, the burly knight knight was quite shocked and couldn't help but ask loudly:

"Your Excellency Burrat, we are about to die so many warriors of the Rhea people. Is it worth it?"

Burrat nodded without hesitation and said firmly:

"Their deaths are valuable and precious. Only by obtaining that thing can the Meyer family proudly step onto the highest stage and become one of the most glorious royal families on this continent."

The two attendant knights looked at each other. Their allegiance was to the Meyer family after all. Since this move was effective for the family, they could only sacrifice the infantry.

Burrat lowered his head and felt the vibration of the fragments in the box on his body. Although he could feel the location of the "similar" in a wide range, he could not locate it more specifically.

I can just feel that one of the fragmented parts is getting closer.

Of the five parts of the broken thing, two were kept by his brother, one was with him, the other was with the Siyat people in the jungle, and the last one was in the far west of the continent.

Given time, the Meyer family will definitely be able to collect them all!

"boom!"

A sudden gunshot instantly attracted everyone's attention!

A cavalryman slowly fell down among the crowd. The flintlock bullets fired at the extreme distance accurately penetrated the unprotected parts of the cavalryman, causing death in an instant.

Standing at the edge of the jungle was a middle-aged man, holding a sword in one hand and holding a flintlock gun high in the other hand, wearing white and silver full-body armor.

When the gust of wind blows, the snow particles are like flying glass fragments against the scorching sun, shining with charming light, and the surroundings seem to be coated with a layer of fantasy-like light and shadow.

The bright light from the sky fell on the snow, and the large amount of reflected light made the provocative middle-aged man look somewhat sacred and inviolable.

The next moment, he turned around and ran into the jungle!

Burrat saw that the man's movement speed was not weak, he was definitely a knight!

The probability of that thing remaining in the hands of ordinary people is not high, which means that man is likely to be carrying fragments of that thing!

Burrat immediately issued a serious order, commanded his two subordinate knights, and shouted:

"I'll stay here and lead the team to intercept the remaining people. You go and lead people to stop him!"

The two squire knights immediately led forty cavalry in pursuit, while Burrat and the remaining people stayed here to wait ruthlessly for the remaining "lambs".

The infantry team is moving closer here according to the order, and will soon complete the closing of the net. Baron Burrat, who frowned seriously, took a deep breath of icy cold air.

——

"Sure enough, we couldn't lure all the people away. It's such a pity. We can only rely on them and the Lost Lord to find a way."

While Lucius was running wildly through the white-stained ice and snow jungle, he was thinking about whether Erin and Byrne had understood his hints at night.

At that time, I actually hinted at something.

At the last moment, they could have abandoned everyone around them and escaped with only Chris!

The core of the Fisher family and even the so-called Dawn Order are just those people who are connected by blood and share a common destiny!

It’s just that it would be difficult to make such a choice.

He knew very clearly that Eileen was determined to abandon outsiders at critical moments, and the key problem lay entirely with Byrne.

That guy is the biggest fool who values ​​the so-called "friendship" the most.

The snow was getting thicker and thicker. The snow was already difficult to walk on, and the cavalry could not move after entering the jungle. Soon, more than 40 cavalry were forced to dismount and search.

The two squire knights who served the Meyer family were both "origin-level" superhumans, and their combat effectiveness in a single fight was not inferior to Lucius.

They also knew how strong the individual combat ability of superhumans was, so they ordered all the soldiers not to leave the sight of the other two and search the surrounding jungle as carefully as possible.

Gone.

Everyone was soon confused. The middle-aged man who had just run here disappeared, and no one could find any trace of him.

Where exactly was he?

Long before he rushed out to provoke, Lucius dug a deep hole in the snow.

He immediately ran back to the hole and hid in it, quickly covering the surface with a lot of snow, leaving only the holes and cracks, and breathing softly inside.

Lucius calmly observed the situation outside, not moving at all. Even at the most thrilling moment, some soldiers had already walked to his side, and he could hear the crunching sound of boots stepping on the snow.

There were two extraordinary people of knight heritage, and forty dismounted cavalrymen equipped with flintlocks and sabers.

He calmly waited for the opportunity.

Breathe, calm down, breathe, calm down, breathe, calm down, breathe...

Until the thinner of the two knights slowly approached, every inch of Lucius's muscle trembled slowly, and finally gathered all the strength to suddenly burst out from the snow with all his strength!

In an instant, the hostility from all sides caused the "quick shot" to be launched!

Everything around became extremely slow, and the gradually falling snow particles looked sacred and extremely beautiful in the light.

The sound seemed to disappear.

He saw that the two extraordinary people of knight heritage stared at him in astonishment, and the other soldiers subconsciously wanted to turn around, but they didn't have time to turn their heads.

The squire knight who was attacked had a calm and ruthless look under his helmet. He swung his saber in an instant and slashed at Lucius who suddenly appeared behind him.

Lucius cooperated with "Quick Attack" and launched "Sword Dance" without hesitation.

The speed of his upper hands immediately increased, and the blade in his hand gradually approached the squire knight, and finally fell into the gap in the neck of the enemy's armor.

A large amount of bright red blood was splashed out slowly, dyeing the beautiful snowflakes in the sun red.

The squire knight suffered a fatal blow, and the swung saber deflected on Lucius's full body armor and failed to cause effective damage.

"Squeak..."

In the dozens of times of reaction time, all actions and sounds were very slow.

The sky was gradually scattered with snowflakes, some people wanted to scream in fear, some people's angry eyes gradually glared, and some people had already gritted their teeth and picked up the flintlock to prepare to shoot.

Lucius suddenly rushed into the thick snow on the side, and at the last moment, he used the repulsive power of the "protective rune".

Time flows normally.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" Dense flintlock bullets were fired.

The knight's body slowly fell down, his eyes were extremely shocked, and he subconsciously covered his neck to stop the bleeding, and soon he trembled and lost his life.

"There! He is there!"

"Knight Kyle was attacked!"

"Disappeared again!"

Lucius frantically crawled in the thick snow with his strong physique, as fast as a swimming athlete.

The previous round of shooting was completely blocked by the repulsive power of the protective rune, and the squire knight who was attacked was definitely dead.

His panting gradually became louder, and he immediately suppressed the sound as much as possible. The weight of the armor and weapons on his body was still a burden. Even with physical strength far beyond the limit of human beings, they could not be ignored in extreme battles.

The number of enemies was only 41.
