The thing about me being a knight

Chapter 33 The Encirclement

The Cavaliers responded quickly.

But Ron's arrow was faster.

In the night, there was no trace of the arrows shot by Ron. Facing the energy shields erupting from the knights, the nine bows and arrows turned their directions silently in the night sky.

Even with the development of the times, the protection of war horses in this era has gradually changed from leather to armor with better defense, but the joints are still exposed to the air in order to maintain flexibility.

Nine bows and arrows, nine war horses roaring in pain, it was so ear-piercing in the sunset forest under the night.

Just when Ron sensed that the knights exploded with their energy shields, he had already made a decision. He knew that he had no chance to expand the results of the battle. The bows and arrows he manifested could hardly break through the knights' energy shields. hood to inflict damage on them.

But his purpose from the beginning was not to keep these knights here, he just needed enough time for him to reach Stormwind City smoothly, that's all.

So before the cavaliers erupted with energy shields to protect the horses, Ron's arrows had already arrived, and it was enough to make the cavaliers lose their mobility and slow down the cavaliers as much as possible.

After confirming that the nine bows and arrows hit the target accurately, Ron quietly disappeared into the night.

The dense trees in the forest hindered the perception of the spirit very much, and these knights did not realize that their target had left this place at all.

But they didn't dare to act rashly. After the opponent showed great strength, the identities of hunter and prey were reversed at once. These knights didn't know when the opponent would attack again, but the bodies of nine companions fell beside them. If there is a slight negligence, maybe the next person to fall to the ground is himself.

This situation lasted for a long time, but the forest was still quiet. Maintaining the energy mask for a long time was very exhausting for them. The other party left?

Everyone was thinking about this question, the knights couldn't hold back, and the three groups of three began to move slowly in the direction of Ron.

Until they found out that Ron had already left, the captain of this knight team had dark eyes and an angry expression on his face.

"Leave one group, and the rest will follow me!"

Ron didn't know that the chasing knight team would be so cautious. According to the direction Selina pointed out, he was almost reaching the mountain she said.

"Over this hill, you can see the River of Aura. Walking along the river, we will slowly walk out of the [Sunset Forest] and enter the Wind Ridge Plain. At this speed, if there are no accidents, we will leave at noon tomorrow. We can reach Stormwind City."

"it is good."

Ron simply replied a word. At this time, his eyes were fixed on the trees in front of him, but his hands tightened the rope wrapped around his body involuntarily.

His body couldn't take it anymore.

Just as he was worried, the miscellaneous energies in the space directly acted on his body along with the meridians without being tempered completely. This was undoubtedly rubbing salt in the wound for Ron who had just recovered. These energies were constantly stimulating like needles. It, the tingling sensation has begun to slowly spread all over the body.

But, I can't stop.

As they got closer to the River of Aura, Ron didn't feel relaxed at all, and he even felt faintly uneasy in his heart. As they got closer to Stormwind City, the obstacles he encountered would become bigger and bigger.

Because those people are in Stormwind City, even if they can think of it themselves, those people will be willing to want it too.

Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, bared his teeth and continued to run forward.

At night in the forest in early spring, the wind still felt a little cold on his face. Thanks to the tempering of the [One-Three Body Training Art], Ron's physical fitness has increased a lot. He turned over a boulder in front of him sensitively. , should have continued to run forward, but he stopped uncharacteristically.

"There are no fewer than twenty people up there." The sweat on Ron's forehead had gathered into droplets and fell to the ground drop by drop along his cheeks. Because of the temperature in the forest, the faint heat was constantly flowing from Ron's head. pop up.

"Elinor, do we have another way?"

"Without this mountain, it is the only way to go."

"Okay, I see." Ron didn't complain a word from the beginning to the end.

First-order wind magic [Wind Light].

He released a spell again, and the wind elements surrounded Ron, which would make his body load slightly lighter.

He took a deep breath, and ran around the mountain to a further place. He must seize every minute and every second, and he must climb over this mountain as soon as possible, but for some reason, the feeling in his heart The uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.

Before Ron ran far, Ron stopped again.

In the range of space he perceives with mental power, there is a squad of knights in front of them, constantly checking in their direction.

Ron didn't speak. After running down the mountain for a while, he stopped for the third time. He sensed that just below them, another team was constantly checking up the mountain.

Ron's heart skipped a beat, and the strong uneasiness in his heart was finally confirmed.

"What's wrong?" Selina turned her head to see Ron's slightly frowning brows, thinking that it must be something bad.

"We are surrounded."

With just a few words, Selena's heart trembled.

"If this mountain is the only way for us to return to Stormwind City, if they are smart enough, then they will definitely choose to wait for us here." Ron's mood was unspeakably bad, but he had to Keep yourself calm.

"It now looks like that's what they intended to do in the first place."

"That team of chasing knights forced us to choose this direction."

"There are no other ambushes along the way. I should have noticed these long ago."

"I was too careless and too confident. I naively thought that I ran ahead of them. I didn't expect that they had already cast their nets here and waited for us to run in."

"Now that they're closing the nets, we have nowhere to run."

Ron looked up at the hill, his eyes narrowed.

"Break out." He made a decision.

Selina looked in Ron's direction, but there was an endless forest in sight.

"Ron, since you want to break through, let me down. I've almost recovered. Two people are easier than one."

Ron knew that what Selena said was a lie, how could it be so easy to fully recover from the overdrafted injured body, except for fighting for his life, and using the secret technique again, he couldn't think of Selena's other options.

"If you want to break through, I'll try it alone." Ron shook his head and rejected Selena. "But you have to do me a favor."

"Ok?"

"...Can you lend me your sword?"
