The Emerald Tower

Chapter 53 Ambushes and Counter-Ambushs (Part 2)

Dean has been fully on guard since he approached the town of Tire. He even deliberately kept his horse from slowing down, rushed to the gate of the town, and arrived in the town. He did so on purpose.

Of course, Dean definitely didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of those thieves.

In fact, the place where he stopped happened to be the most suitable location for the two thieves who attacked him, and it was also the closest location.

As for why?

The previous Dean had checked the surroundings more than once, and he had thoroughly deduced the attack and retreat route of the two thieves dozens of times in his mind.

And the same deduction is how he dodges and counterattacks.

Therefore, if possible, Dean would never disrupt the rhythm of those thieves.

After all, once it is disrupted, his rhythm will inevitably be affected.

Fortunately, everything is going on as usual——

Whoosh!

Dean, who was on full alert, quickly turned over when he heard the sound of breaking through the air, and immediately hid under the horse's belly.

Riding on a war horse, in the face of such arrows coming from behind the scenes, dodging left and right is not the best solution, because your body is on the back of the horse, which will inevitably limit your dodging space, so, in order to Being able to dodge more effectively and turn over and hide under the horse's belly is the best choice.

Even the war horse itself can become a shield.

This is a method Dean learned from a retired old thief, but he would never use it if he could; after all, in his heart, he still very much recognizes the words of the Grand Duchess: "War horses are ours." Faithful partner, on the battlefield, apart from the sword in your hand, what you should rely on most is your horse, its reliability is far more than the armor on your body! '

Of course, for: 'The armor on the body and the sword in the hand are everything to us! ’ Such a statement, Dean does not reject it.

In fact, Dean, once known as the Lone Wolf of Hargaslow, was a pragmatist.

He will not favor any side, stick to any form, he will only choose what is beneficial to him.

Just like at this moment——

Dean, who turned over under the horse's belly, didn't pay attention to the mud in the snow water on the ground at all. He rolled like this, splashing mud, and quickly approached the thief who suddenly attacked.

Then, a sword stabbed out!

When Dean stabbed the sword, he was still four or five people away from the thief, but when Dean stretched his arm and rushed forward with his feet, the sword had already pierced the opponent's throat— — This is not an assassin's assassination technique, but a knight's sword technique in the true sense.

It's just that from riding a horse to fighting on foot.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere, immediately startled the crowded crowd, and then screamed and dodged in all directions—the chaos happened irresistibly, but definitely not in the direction the thieves hoped for.

Because, standing beside the dead thief, when the crowd dispersed in an instant, another thief was completely revealed.

Dean didn't hesitate. With a flip of his wrist, Dean fell down clutching his throat.

【XP+2】

【XP+2】

Two fingertip-sized white experience light balls,

It means that the opponent is completely dead; however, the battle is far from over, and the ambushes in the distance are still continuing——

"Kill it! Kill it!"

After hearing such a shout, Huck, who was just about to go out to attend the baron's dinner party, drew out the long sword at his waist without hesitation, pushed the door and walked out.

Whizzing!

Huck, who had just opened the door of the "Snow Bear's House", was attacked, and two crossbow arrows shot out—even after his arm was broken, he still had unstoppable swordsmanship, confrontation training, and rich combat experience. At this time, he saved his life. Almost when the two crossbow arrows were shot, the door that was still being pushed by the palm of his left hand was pulled by Huck. The solid gate of the 'Snow Bear House' was torn off by him, and he held it in his hand like a shield.

Duh, duh!

The two crossbow bolts were firmly nailed to the wooden board, and the arrows even pierced through.

Looking at the arrow that was close at hand, before Huck could make another move, there was a sound of footsteps——

Two figures holding daggers and daggers were approaching rapidly.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are two guys holding crossbows not far away, staring at him firmly.

Simply put, as long as he leaves the cover of the door panel, he is in danger of being shot again.

And if you hold the door panel, when two people with daggers and daggers approach, the scene will be even more embarrassing-although he doesn't mind fighting with the door panel, he still has to be wary of the person holding the door panel in the distance. Crossbow guy.

In short, this is a no-go situation.

If my right hand...

As soon as this idea appeared, Huck shook his head vigorously—this is not an escape, in fact, people like Huck will not escape, he just needs to face it.

Now that one hand has been lost, use the remaining one to fight. This is Huck.

"You must avoid the aim of the two crossbows!"

Huck thought secretly, and at the same time looked at the inn behind him——Compared with the crossbow, although the crossbow is one size smaller, it is easy to carry, but its power has dropped by more than a notch; if it is a crossbow, don't say It is a solid wood door panel, even if it is the kind covered with iron, it has to be penetrated.

Therefore, it is a very safe way to get into his own hotel.

However, think of the guests in the hotel.

Although there are some nasty guys in it, Huck doesn't want to bring the troubles that are coming to him into it-not because of kindness, but because of principles.

Guys with principles are stubborn people.

Apparently, that's what Huck is!

Almost at the next moment, Huck had his own plan——

"what!"

Huck, who was shouting, held up the door panel and rushed towards the two thieves holding daggers and daggers.

As for the remaining two crossbows?

Huck can't control that much anymore!

Whizzing!

The sound of the arrow piercing the air sounded at this moment, far more swift and decisive than what Huck had imagined.

"It's over!"

Huck sighed in his heart, you know, in order to be able to press the two approaching thieves to the ground, he turned the shield he held upright before into a horizontal one; therefore, although he protected his chest and head, he still , His legs were exposed during running; now, the arrow is coming towards his legs.

Huck didn't think his legs could withstand the arrows.

And once he loses his mobility, he will surely die.

Almost subconsciously, Huck gave a meal, but the pain did not appear. On the contrary, two screams appeared in the distance, and Huck was overjoyed after just a glance——I saw the two thieves gesturing with crossbows With arrows stuck in his body, he had already fallen to the ground.

Apparently, someone helped!

I don't know who helped, but it's a good thing——

"Damn guys, you should have a taste of Huck's power!"

Huck, who casually threw the board out, drew out the long sword at his waist with his left hand, and rushed towards the remaining two thieves.

However, someone is faster than him!

Dean, who was covered in mud, jumped out as if flying, and the long sword in his hand was like lightning, bringing strong winds repeatedly.

puff!

One of the thieves got a sword in his throat and immediately fell to the ground, contributing a [XP+2] ball of light to Dean; while the other one bent over at that moment and dodged past.

However, he only flashed Dean's long sword, but he didn't flash Dean's foot following him.

boom!

Amidst the muffled sound, Dean's booted foot hit the opponent's face; the thief rolled over and fell down with several flying teeth and a short nose.

Then, Dean kicked again.

The toe kicked the opponent's neck firmly and firmly - he needed a living, not only an explanation to Baron Tyre, but also, he needed to interrogate the opponent's hiding place in Tyreland.

As Dean, who is preparing to participate in the war, he absolutely does not allow it. In his sight, there are strongholds of other forces that he does not know.

"Leader, leader!"

The militiamen on horseback rushed over after Dean kicked the thief unconscious, and the two militia captains were at the front. After seeing Dean who was safe and sound, the two young men couldn't help but Afterwards, there was a burst of reverence - the previous action of dodging the arrows, killing the enemy, and then going straight to the rescue was really unbelievable to them, you know, even if they knew that there was an ambush They just found the target and took bows and arrows.

However, their regiment leader had already arrived at the same time, and killed another enemy.

"Chop off the dead guy's head and put it in your merit bag!"

Dean shouted loudly, and immediately, the militiamen began to drag the corpses up. At this moment, Dean turned and walked towards Huck, and began to look at the soldier who was definitely going to be recruited.

Similarly, Huck was also looking at the mud-covered young man in front of him.

From the mouths of those militiamen, he guessed the identity of the other party - the main guest invited by the baron.

Acting head of the Knights of Fischeron.

However, Huck was thinking secretly: "Where did the young man come from? He's so amazing!"
