Chapter 243: Come from afar

The luxury of running on the road without any protection is equivalent to walking in the downtown area with a bag of gold coins, which will naturally arouse the covetousness of malicious people. On the next night, the carriage that was still marching on the road at night was intercepted. The territory of the Audan Empire was mainly the Great Plains, and there were often all kinds of illegal people on the edge of various provinces, and the small ones were just thieves who stole goods from passing caravans.

The big ones also include horse thieves who kill and rob.

The rapidly galloping carriage must stop and replace the axle of the carriage after a period of time. Obviously, the horse thieves also know this very well.

When the two drivers changed the axle, dozens of masked horse thieves surrounded the carriage. It was obviously not the first time the horse thieves were touched, or the mobs were all wearing masks or black cloth to cover their faces. Everyone did not move, they were sitting on the horse, holding the weapons firmly in their hands, and holding the saddle firmly with their legs.

These are all actions that are ready to attack or escape at any time. Because the carriage surrounded by them can only be described as strange now. The two drivers calmly arranged the bracket under the carriage, then removed the almost worn axle, took out a new force from the rear hanging bucket and replaced it.

Things are abnormal and are monsters, and the leader of the horse thief also knows this, but the stalemate between the two sides is obviously not a good development trend for the horse thief.

The leader of the horse thief made a gesture with one hand. Several horse thieves on the periphery raised their crossbows from the horse almost at the same time, and several crossbow arrows shot out in succession. At the same time, the horse thief leaning in his mouth whistled and urged the horses to attack inside. Not only did the power of the crossbow arrows, but the several horse thieves who launched the attack responded differently. The long sword in their hands vaguely swung, and a faint light flashed at the blade.

Dou Qi, only about level 8 can light flash on weapons. What does a level 8 fighter look like? He can already be the most elite warrior in the army. Among the people, you can have a very good job in the mercenary guild or lead a team by yourself.

However, the team of horse thieves obviously had such strength as those who were on the outpost. The two drivers allowed the crossbow arrows to shoot on the carriage. The carriage's wall had some protection. As soon as the crossbow arrows approached the wall, they lost their strength and became very heavy and fell to the ground.

The two drivers were holding wheel axles in their hands. The so-called wheel axles were a thick wooden stick that protected the metal leather. The driver didn't care about the carriage behind him at all. The two of them cooperated very skillfully to smash the wheel axles. If the horse thief running in the front did not retract his scimitar defense, he would probably be hit straight by the thick wheel axles.

The force of the driver was unexpectedly powerful, and the horse thief's horsemanship was even more surprising. The three horse thieves turned the direction of their mounts in an instant. The horse stood upright and actually circled in place, turning directly back to the original place. The horse thief leader was on the periphery, and could not see what expression was like under the bronze mask.

More than a dozen horse thieves in the outer circle picked up large rifles from the hook on the side of the horse. They all shouted loudly. They were very skilled in riding, and they increased the horses to a very fast speed in a short time between not far away. The thick and long rifles were flat, and they shouted fiercely, and they had the momentum of thousands of troops for a while. From this, it can be seen that these horse thieves were well-trained. When they surrounded this carriage, the distance between the horses and horses was very wide. In this way, when these heavy rifles charge, they could play the greatest role in horse speed. Like the horse thieves who used scimitars, the light of fighting spirit was shining on the rifles of these knights.

Although the two drivers holding the axles in hand, they were considered heavy weapons, but they were useless to face the impact from all directions and could not resist it. However, the expressions of these two people could not tell at all that they panic.

In an instant, a sensation of cold suddenly spread around the carriage. All the horses rushing forward were in the instant cold, making a long neigh, and people stood up.

Halfway through the rapid advance, the horse suddenly changed direction, no matter how good the riding technique was, it could not maintain balance. Those who rushed to the front were all over the horse. With the carriage as the center, a circle was formed around it. Except for the two drivers, no one was in this range.

The horse thief leader was extremely shocked. In addition to the three riders around him, dozens of horse thieves either lost control of the horses or fell to the ground, in chaos. Only a horse thief sitting next to him was chanting something, and a semicircular light shield covered them.

There are only a hundred people in the field now, but the momentum just now is like a battle of thousands of troops. At this moment, a sound that should never appear here was made in the carriage. The sound was delicate and cold, extremely gentle, but it felt like there was a strong ice that never melted through the ages. Although the sound was always in the carriage, everyone who heard it guessed that the woman who made this sound in the carriage was extremely beautiful.

"Who disturbed my sleep? Well~~, it seems to be the smell of the Douqi of Light. Are they from the Church of Light?"

“Hahaha~~”

There was a sensational laugh. No matter what the people present were in, they couldn't help but feel trembling when they heard this laugh. However, with this beautiful laugh, the range became larger, just like the one just now, even a lot of cold air.

The two drivers were not affected by the temperature that was almost the coldest winter, and regardless of exposing their backs to the enemy, they turned around and said respectfully:

"These people outside have been following since we left the territory. Now this place is the most sparsely populated place along the way. Looking at their attack methods and their orders, they should be the Knights directly under the Church of Light."

Although the people around him did not respond too much to this statement and still some people could not help but tighten the reins of the horse, which was obviously said to be.

The person in the carriage called out a lazy "Oh", and then said more casually:

"You are not my opponents, let's go, I don't want to kill you all."

The head target of the horse thief or the leader of these temple knights was shocked and suspicious. Although the identity of these people was recognized, it was not a big deal. However, the chill revealed in the carriage was his most concerned thing. You must know that according to his level, this cold air was not only a feeling in reality, but also a feeling of terror in spirit.

This gap in strength can definitely not be made up by this number of people. Thinking of this, the leader of the horse thief gradually broke out in cold sweat. Maybe, today these dozens of people were killed by the other party, and they were open and had no room for refutation.

When the cold air became more and more intense, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. Another silver bell-like chuckling, the voice in the carriage said:

"Forget it, I want to keep a good mood and fight now, so I won't waste my energy with you. Let's go, don't let me see you again."

After saying that, everyone present heard the sound of gently tapping the wall of the carriage. The two drivers quickly changed into new axles and put on horses, ignoring the horse thieves or members of the Knights who were holding weapons. They left, and the horse thieves did not dare to move at all.

The group of people seemed to be frozen there by the chill that had just spread. As they watched the carriage go away, the deep fear in their hearts shocked everyone.

Knowing that the carriage disappeared in the night, the person next to the thief leader was the one who took action to resist the pressure and asked:

"Mr. Principal, have you given up like this?"

The leader of the horse thief reached out and took off the mask, revealing an extremely resolute face. He looked extremely serious and there was a vague evil spirit in it. He looked down at the bronze mask in his hand, and frost appeared on it. He was even more surprised, which shows that the pressure just now was not only caused by the coldness caused by the power, but also the actual temperature dropped to freezing point.

He hesitated for a moment, and turned around and followed the person next to him who asked:

"The strength is too far apart, so Lord Claude must come in person, but if we give up like this, we will be dereliction of duty."

He turned his head and looked at a knight who was sorting out the rifle in his hand. The knight was the only one who had not fallen off the horse and maintained his balance in the impact just now, and seemed to be significantly higher than his companions. The leader called Plin ordered the knight:

"Henry, take two people to the carriage, don't act rashly, and every time you pass a city, remember to pass the message through the church there."

The knight, known as Henry, hung his spear on the side of the horse, bowed at Lord Principe to receive the order, and led the two people to chase after him.
