Working Prophet.

Chapter 254 Miracle
Tom had been a mercenary for seven or eight years before, and he had a lot of combat experience. He didn't panic when he was suddenly attacked. He just raised his shield in front of him, and then called his guards to form a shield wall with him. Keep everyone behind shields and armor as much as possible.

Coupled with the fact that the night was getting darker, it was not easy for the archers in the forest to aim again. Although there were arrows flying past everyone's ears from time to time, or falling on the shields and making clanking sounds, apart from letting the The atmosphere became a little tense, but no casualties were caused.

The villagers who chased up from behind were also knocked down by the black dog guards in charge of the rear.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer pursuers behind them, and the cold arrows shot from the forest became sparser, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before they knew it, they had already retreated almost two miles while fighting.

Going this far, you can reach another village. If I remember correctly, there should be some defenders of the Arias family in that village.

Just when everyone thought they were about to be out of danger, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded from the other side of the woods.

Tom's face changed suddenly, "It's a cavalry!"

When he uttered these words, the hairs all over his body also stood up!
No one knew better than him what it meant to encounter cavalry here. No wonder the opponent shot their horses before outside the village.

Especially in this section of the road, the trees were not so dense, and the cavalry rushed up to speed. It was almost difficult for them who were on foot and lacked long weapons to resist the impact of the opposite side. What's worse, they had nowhere to escape.

The last time they encountered such a dangerous situation was when they faced the black dragon, but at that time they made a lot of arrangements in advance, and they had special dragon-slaying artifacts in hand, and they were not as passive as they were tonight.

Just when Tom was a little restless, a palm was pressed on his shoulder, and Li Yu's voice sounded in his ear, "How many people are there?"

"I don't know, but it sounds like there should be at least a dozen riders."

"How many people can you deal with?"

"It depends on the opponent's equipment and skill. If it is the cavalry trained by ordinary noble families, it will probably only have six or seven cavalry." Tom estimated in his heart and said.

"Then let me try to lure some of you away." Li Yu said.

Tom thought his ears had misheard. At such a time, shouldn't they be the guards who helped Li Yu lead away the pursuers?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Li Yu added, "You probably won't be able to attract many people."

"........."

"Then please let us protect you!" The captain of the guard earnestly said.

Li Yu shook his head, "They should all be privately recruited or trained experts by the Silver Moon Church, who specialize in dirty jobs that are not seen by others. There are so many people who can't beat them. If they get together, they will just die together. Okay. Don't argue, just do as I say, don't worry, as long as you can survive tonight, you will definitely see me again."

While talking, Li Yu handed over some odds and ends in his pocket to Tom, so as not to explode after he died, and at the same time urged, "Keep these things safe and bring them back to the church." Let’s go, next time I come back, I will come to you to get it.”

While the two were talking, those cavalrymen also appeared from the woods, a total of sixteen cavalry, all wearing black armor, and the horses under their crotches were also tall and handsome, and they looked like the elite of the elite.

However, their armor is not engraved with any coat of arms that can identify their identity, which is quite rare, because ordinary soldiers are proud of their respective legions.

Especially those legions with a long history and great military exploits, the soldiers below would like to paint their coat of arms all over their bodies, for fear that others would not know their origins.

But the sixteen riders in front of everyone's eyes are perfectly integrated with the surrounding night, just like sixteen ghosts. No one knows where they came from, and no one knows where they are going.

Even if ordinary people pass by them, they will probably only think that it is their own nightmare.

Tom wanted to persuade Li Yu to change his mind, but the latter had left the team at this time, and what made Tom even more angry was that the two lizard warriors who had been guarding Li Yu gave way to Li Yu. I don't mean to stop it.Damn, is there a guard like this?

Soon Li Yu's figure entered the night.

Tom saw Li Yu running towards the east, where there was a small sloping field, and a winding stream was at the bottom of the sloping slope.

And those black armored cavalry also noticed the change on their side at this time. Although the sight at night was affected to a certain extent, the black suit and black trousers on Li Yu's body were very special.

Anyone who knows him well in Luye can recognize him at a glance.

Because the leading cavalryman was wearing a helmet, Tom couldn't see his expression, but he could still guess the joy in the opponent's heart at this time from the opponent's behavior.

And after that, the man divided half of the people in one breath and rushed down the small slope where Li Yu was, while the remaining eight riders continued to come towards Tom and the others.

Probably in his eyes, leaving these eight riders by himself is enough to deal with Tom and others.

Seeing this, Tom also felt angry, and said coldly, "Give them some color."

Hearing this, the lizard people pulled out the hand crossbows on their backs one after another, and turned on the laser sight on it. In an instant, thirteen small red dots appeared on the bodies of the eight black-armored knights.

Before the two sides started fighting, Tom glanced at Li Yu's direction again, and it was this glance that made him open his mouth.

At this time, Li Yu had already come to the stream. Tom saw Li Yu took off his two leather shoes and socks, and then stepped into the stream without stopping.

But the next moment a miracle happened!
Li Yu's foot didn't step into the water, but was suspended on the water surface. His whole body's speed didn't slow down, and he passed the water surface lightly like a dragonfly.

This scene even surprised the pursuers behind him. Some people couldn't help but exclaimed, "My God, how did he do it?! Running on the water without sinking, what kind of trick is this?"

"No matter what the trick is, since we have met him, he must not let him run away. Hurry up and chase me!" The leader was also deeply shocked by this unbelievable scene, but soon there was something in his eyes. There was a flash of light, and he urged.

At this time, the remaining seven cavalrymen also woke up from a dream, urging their horses again.

The horseshoes stepped into the stream and splashed waves, but fortunately, the depth of the stream was only just below the horse's legs, and they were still able to wade across the river, but the speed was slowed down a lot.

Not as chic and composed as Li Yu looked.
