Chapter five hundred and fifty third unexpected encounter
Although there were four more Dark Elf prisoners, the team's progress was not slowed down. After all, Downton still had more than 200 Sherman War Bears in his hands.
Seeing that the Downtons had so many rare mounts, Twilight was a little curious. Hutao was a little lolita who couldn't hide her words and didn't know how to guard others. She soon learned all the ins and outs.
In fact, there is nothing to keep secret, except for the dungeon, Downton's experience is not a secret in Frankfurt.
Hu Tao admired Downton very much, boasted a lot about the Fox of the West, the youngest Duke, the fastest promotion speed, etc. Twilight just smiled without comment.
“Building on top of everything!”
This is Charlotte's view of Twilight. She believes that this girl has experienced a lot of things and has a completely mature mind. At least her vision is unparalleled among her peers.
"There's smoke!"
Hutao looked around with a telescope and shouted with joy.
When they were still at least two days away from the Hobbit City, Downton and his party finally met a large team. After all, raising a bonfire in the dangerous underdark area would attract underground races, and no one with any strength could stop them.
of plunder.
"Go get a ride!"
The dark elves will chase them at any time, and their lineup is definitely not small. For safety, Twilight suggested forming a group.
With nothing to refuse, the group quickened their pace.
Twenty minutes later, everyone had seen the camp with longing figures from a distance, but when they were about 500 meters away, they were stopped by a few soldiers who suddenly emerged from the grass.
"Who are you?"
The captain asked and waved the crossbow in his hand in a demonstrative manner. He and his subordinates had these things. If Downton and his party hadn't seen that they were human beings, they would have shot them long ago, and there would be no nonsense.
"The business group we joined was attacked and dispersed. Now I want to join your business group. Don't worry, we will pay part of the reward."
Downton forced himself to speak, but he didn't hold out much hope because he already knew their identities from the standard armor on these soldiers.
These soldiers are the royal guards of Bavaria. The emblem on the chest represents the honor and status of the royal family, and also represents their superb strength. After all, you can't join the royal guard without a few brushes.
"Hey, hey, look, is that a dark elf?"
"It's the first time I've seen him. Although his skin is a bit darker, his appearance is really good."
"Nonsense, elves are said to be a clan given by gods. Even the hybrid branch, they are all handsome men and beauties."
The soldiers whispered, their eyes wandering over the dark elves, and occasionally drifting to Downton, showing expressions of envy and jealousy.
Just by selling these few elf captives alone, this man can make a lot of money, and he can also enjoy the taste of elf women before.
If it were normal times, the captain would have told Downton to go away. It would be a fool's errand for a commoner to want to join the royal team. But after seeing those dark elves, he changed his mind.
"You guys wait, I'll report to the commander."
The captain decided to be more cautious. Besides, in addition to the princess, there were also some children of wealthy nobles in the team. They might be interested in these dark elves.
Twilight and Downton exchanged a look, and they regretted joining the group. The other party's status was too noble and destined to be strong, and Downton was a master who refused to suffer. It was too easy to get into trouble, but unfortunately there was no room for turning around.
.
As if they were worried that Downton and the others would leave, the soldiers kept their crossbows pointed at them.
A few minutes later, a Franese thoroughbred horse came running at high speed, followed by more than a dozen mounted guards, all of whom were chasing after him nervously.
"Where are the dark elves?" Cassano reined in the reins. After a glance, his expression was stunned, and then he was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting, "I, Di Polo, have so many rare mounts?"
"This should be the Sherman War Bear, right?" Cassano swallowed and looked at Juliet, "Sell it? I'll pay five million gold coins."
Downton frowned. Since Cassano, a second-generation aristocrat, knew Sherman, it meant that he knew the true price of the War Bear. However, the fact that he gave a figure of five million proved that he was too petty and liked to take advantage.
"Sorry, not selling!"
Juliet glanced at Downton and shook her head in refusal. She knew that the master was not short of money.
"The sound is good, take off your cloak and let me see!"
Because he was the son of a Grand Duchy, Cassano was used to being arrogant. When he heard that Juliet had a good voice, he wanted her to take off her cloak and see if she had a face worthy of her.
Juliet shrank her shoulders and looked at Downton for help.
"This young master..."
Before Downton could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Cassano.
"And you, take off your cloak too."
Cassano ignored the mediocre Twilight and Downton who spoke out, but stared at Charlotte. Because of the long journey, for the sake of convenience, the wise wolf wore leather armor, so he could see two long and graceful lines.
leg.
"How rude."
Twilight frowned.
"Get out of my way, ugly girl, and don't disturb my mood." Cassano was dissatisfied, glared at Twilight, and urged Charlotte, "Hurry up."
"Hey, watch your attitude!"
The girl he had a crush on was humiliated, which made Downton very angry, and his tone was naturally unkind.
The guards immediately glared at Downton, and several of them drew their long knives and made expressions as if they wanted to chop Downton to death. Even if they didn't take action, doing so would increase their status in the heart of their master.
"Haha, what's wrong with my attitude? We're just a capable adventure team, why should we be proud of it?" Kashaman snorted and waved his riding crop, as arrogantly as a swan.
He has seen too many adventure teams of this kind, but in front of his own identity, he still knelt down and paid allegiance, with a face full of humility!
Downton's answer was simple. He pulled out the sword of order. In order to avoid being too ostentatious, he decided not to use the Balrog's hand for the time being.
"This guy deserves a beating!"
Hutao also picked up the Death Messenger, staring at Cassano, wondering where to strike later.
"Haha, how courageous are you? Do you know who I am?" After Cassano laughed at Downton, he looked at his subordinates and said, "Tell them."
"The master is the legitimate son of the Grand Duke of Turin. The powerful count of the Lombardy Alliance, one of the nine empires, His Highness Cassano!" the guards replied loudly.
"You know you're scared, right?" Cassano tilted his chin, proudly, "Quickly, take off your cloak."
"Do not impulse!"
Seeing that Downton was about to take action, Twilight admired the boy's boldness and quickly stopped him, then looked at Cassano, "Your Highness, please pay attention to your manners."
"Are you worthy of talking to me about your manners?" Cassano smacked his lips and urged, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Do it quickly?"
The guards were not as arrogant as Cassano. Being chosen by the Grand Duke to protect his legitimate son, their strength was certainly not bad. They all saw that Downton was really angry.
"You won't run into a madman, right?"
"Does this guy have any background? After listening to Cassano's self-reported identity, he still dares to provoke him. He is definitely not a good person."
"Everyone, be careful, these people are very strong!"
The guards communicated in low voices and all drew their sabers. They felt the powerful aura on the Downton people.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, another group of people arrived. It was the grumpy young cavalry leader that Downton saw in the Dark Elf Tavern.
"Your Highness!" The young man named Perin greeted him. He glanced around and marveled at these mounts. "Yes, they are rare mounts."
As a cavalryman, Perrin knew the value of an excellent mount, especially the Sherman War Bear, which was definitely the first choice for heavy cavalry. Riding it to charge into battle would not only increase the safety rate, but also increase the attack power.
"A war bear mount is enough to tear apart a group of infantry." The cavalrymen whispered, with unconcealable envy in their eyes.
"I've already bought these mounts!" Cassano reminded Palin not to seize food from the tiger's mouth, and then took out a stack of gold tickets from the space ring, "Here, a total of ten million gold coins. Take it and leave quickly."
Throwing the golden ticket on the ground, Cassano asked his subordinates to fetch the mount. He couldn't help being so anxious. Because of Princess Sissi's relationship, many aristocratic children came to pursue her, and they were all of the same status as himself.
Big shots, once these mounts are brought to the camp, they will definitely not have their share, so they must strike first.
The guards rushed forward and urged loudly, "Hurry, take the money and leave, otherwise you will offend His Highness and you will suffer a lot."
Downton's answer was simple. He looked at the guard who was about to take the reins of the Green Goblin and punched him directly. He thought Twilight would stop him, but he found that the girl raised her staff and started to cast a spell.
"Are you worthy of being a noble? It's a disgrace to your family!" Twilight scolded, "Censor your behavior, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
"Who do you think you are? You dare to meddle in my business?" Cassano was impatient, because he saw someone looking this way, and several horses rushed over to watch the fun, so he urged, "Quick, get your mounts
Grab it."
Although Cassano is greedy, he is not an uneducated fool. At least he knows that mounts are more precious than dark elves, and he must grab these first.
"Pooh!"
Hutao looked down upon him, and rushed forward on the air ray, slashing the nearest guard with an axe.
The guard didn't take this little loli seriously at first, but when he saw the tomahawk flying faster than lightning and hitting his forehead, his underwear suddenly soaked with cold sweat.
The soul shield was fully activated, but it had no effect. Hu Tao's strength was comparable to that of a giant dragon, coupled with the legendary weapons, it directly shattered his shield.
Zira!
Blood sprayed out. Although the guard hid quickly, an arm was still chopped off. However, he did not feel distressed at all. Instead, he felt lucky to survive the disaster. If he had been slower, he would definitely have lost his head.
The guards were shocked, and those who were gifted with magic immediately cast it.
Downton's Star Shift was operating at full strength, and the huge liquid mass enveloped his entire party, swallowing up all magical attacks.
Xia Luo cast a spell, and several green vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around the legs of the guards. Twilight did not finish the attack, but pointed the staff at Cassano.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. If you don't capture this guy, this battle will definitely drag on forever. Moreover, if you want to leave safely, you must have a heavyweight hostage in hand. (To be continued...)
