On the second day after leaving the royal capital, we were one step closer to arriving at the Baron Territory.
"Lord, there are often bandits in front of you. Do you want to send someone to observe first?"
Scott came forward to report, and William readily agreed.
The motorcade stretched into a long queue, and he rode beside a carriage, saying a few words to Selani inside from time to time.
When she first left the royal capital, Selanie was very excited and insisted on riding a horse with him, but she was too young to know how to ride a horse.
William could only take her to experience riding a horse, and since then she has lost interest in riding horses.
Riding a horse in this day and age is indeed hard work.
Even with his physical condition, he felt a little tired after riding for two days.
Not long after, the scout reported back that everything was normal.
The convoy continued to move forward.
After leaving the dense woods, Scott sighed secretly.
The Kingdom of Sedes has not been stable recently, and news of bandits can be heard from time to time even near the royal capital.
The forest he passed through before was the most dangerous place in his opinion. If there was no danger anywhere, the rest of the journey should be initially safe.
Seeing that the sun was about to set at the foot of the mountain, Scott arranged for people to find a place to camp.
There happened to be a piece of flat land close to the leeward in front of him, and he took a fancy to it. But before he could be happy for a long time, a dozen knights came from afar.
Scott raised his palm to indicate:
"Be alert and protect the lord!"
The other party's dress didn't look like a bandit, because no bandit would wear a helmet, and they would only wear it when they were actually fighting.
Could it be that he is the knight of the lord of this area?
Just as a thought flashed through my mind, my nerves suddenly shook:
"No, even the knights patrolling the territory don't always wear helmets!"
as expected.
The dozen or so riders suddenly drew their swords in the air and spurred their horses to gallop towards them. Scott immediately shouted urgently: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!"
The escorting knights drove their horses forward to block the front of the convoy.
Guland took a few steps forward to guard beside William: "Lord, you go first in the carriage, and we will resist."
Ignoring his advice, William drew his sword, stood it upright in front of him, and shouted:
"Destroy the enemy, I am with you!"
The knight guards strike their armor with swords:
"Fight for the lord!!"
The battle took place in an instant, and the two parties cut through each other like two sharp swords without any nonsense.
Guland and Scott took the lead and tried to stop a few people. If there were no big knights on the opposite side, Scott alone would be enough to kill the incoming enemies, but they did not have such illusions.
Their convoy stretched for a long time, and there were many knights guarding them. They were obviously just bones.
Since the opponent dares to attack directly, he must be confident.
Scott slashed his head with a sword and cut off an enemy's arm directly. Even the armor on his body failed to hinder him in the slightest.
This enemy is not weak in strength, he should be a formal knight, and he is also a good player even in the army. But the one he fought against was Scott, a great knight.
In one round, the outcome is decided.
He pulled out the knife and teased her back, then bowed his head directly.
Just as he was about to continue sprinting, an enemy wearing black armor stood in front of him, and the two swords collided with each other, making a thunderous sound.
Scott felt his arm shake and shouted in horror:
"Great Knight!"
"Congratulations on your guess, but there is no reward."
The great knight in black armor waved his sword, and the dark eyes under his visor flashed with bloodthirsty light.
He pointed casually, and two more black-armored knights walked out of the enemy. One faced Gulland with a ferocious smile, and the other rushed directly to the center of the convoy, where William was.
Seeing this scene, Scott was almost speechless.
Does the opponent have three great knights? How is this possible? What kind of bandit can have such strength!
"Who the hell are you!"
"Kill your people!"
There is no room for distraction on the battlefield. When the black-armored knight caught Scott in shock and was distracted, he swung out his long sword like lightning, and the bright blade drew an icy edge in the air, heading straight for Scott.
clang……
When there was no time to attack, Scott held his sword in front of him with his backhand, narrowly blocking the attack.
…
On the other side of the battlefield, Gu Lande was also blocked by a large knight in black armor. He was not given a chance to charge at all, as if it was a change. He did not seek to win, but only wanted to hold Gu Lande back.
Guland roared from time to time and kept shouting "Protect the lord!"
But when another great knight in black armor rushed past him, his body shook, as if he was affected by the fighting enemy. So much so that the third great knight in black armor rushed straight past him towards William.
"No!! Protect the lord, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
Hearing Guland's roar, Scott turned his head and saw that the knight protecting William had been almost defeated.
At this point, he had to believe his guess.
The opponent actually had three great knights, and their power was not weak. The man he was fighting against was very powerful and heavy, and Scott was not confident of a complete victory.
For a moment, Scott's heart sank.
He and Guland were held back by two enemies. Those who protected William were all knight apprentices, and there was no way they could stop the last great knight.
Even if they are not knight apprentices but are formal knights, they cannot protect someone from the impact of the great knight.
The only one who can deal with the Great Knight is the Great Knight.
In other words, William will definitely die!
Keqie Te roared at the top of his lungs:
"No--"
Blocking the enemy's sword again, he swung his sword like a madman and launched an attack with the attitude of sharing the same fate.
The knight in black armor didn't want to fight him desperately, so he could only control his horse and take two steps back. Finally, he dismounted quickly, picked up a knife on the ground and threw it with all his strength, hitting Scott's mount in the middle.
"Want to come back for help? Impossible!"
The front hoof of the mount bent and fell to the ground. Scott stepped hard on the stirrup and landed smoothly with the reaction force. Then he rushed towards William regardless.
But before he took a step, a fierce sound of wind came from behind.
He understood that the great knight in black armor was catching up.
If you don't resist, the opponent can directly split him in half; if you resist, there will be no chance to help William.
Thinking of this, Scott's eyes turned red and he yelled like crazy:
"ah--"
He turned around and struck with the heaviest sword in his life, directly sending the black-armored knight flying three meters away. The black-armored knight knelt down on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He wiped his mouth and actually smiled.
In his eyes, the third knight in black armor had broken through the obstacle and approached five meters in front of William.
This distance can be reached by the great knight in one step.
"You have no chance."
When Scott heard his voice, he looked back in pain...
…
In the center of the battlefield, William was riding safely on his horse, watching everything in front of him with cold eyes, as if he had not seen the great knight rushing in front of him.
He saw Scott who looked like a madman;
Saw Gulland shouting loudly;
I saw Brayman Vandini defeating an enemy knight with his strength as a knight's apprentice.
The sword of the black-armored knight arrived in an instant, and he seemed to have seen a fountain of blood. But William suddenly called out a name softly:
