Working Prophet.

Chapter 73 Farewell

The old knight was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about the girl's words, and said after a while, "You are right, we should leave here overnight."

"........."

"Abandoning Jordi, Trinidad, and all the people in their fief?" Miss Rabbit widened her eyes, "I patrol the territory to win people's hearts, and if the enemy hasn't seen it, I will throw it away." What kind of way to win people's hearts is to let your own leader escape first?

"And if this news gets out, I will lose all face of the Arias family, and we will be ridiculed by other families in the western region for hundreds of years."

"Then kill everyone who knows before you run away." Alfred didn't look like he was joking, which made the purple broom knight beside him break out in a cold sweat.

Jude couldn't help but sighed, "That's why I would rather stay in the wild with the black beauty than get along with humans, especially you nobles, your hearts are too dark."

Fortunately, Ilea didn't take this outrageous suggestion. She just said to her guardian knight, "If my father was here, he would definitely rescue Trinidad and Karl."

"Lord Russ is a great warrior, but you are not. I need to ensure your safety, and no extra manpower can be used to rescue others."

"Then take me with you!" Miss Rabbit gritted her teeth.

"what did you say?"

"I said then take me with you, Alfred, you are the most outstanding knight I have ever seen, and we are also bringing the most elite warriors of the Arias family with us this time, half of them are cavalry, wearing Armor and weapons are excellent, we have no reason to be afraid of those savage lizardmen living in the swamp."

The girl paused, then continued, "Let me ask you, Alfred, if you lead the team, what are your chances of winning against sixty lizardmen?"

"There are only sixty lizardmen in the area, and I have full confidence in repelling them all." The old knight said, "The soldiers in this guard are all carefully selected by me, almost all of them are half-orcs with excellent martial arts skills. As long as the number of those lizardmen does not exceed a hundred, we can easily win."

"Then why are we running away? We are the only ones within a few miles who can rescue Trinidad." Ilea said, "I know Alfred, you don't want me to take a little risk, but my father also I said that fighting is a very dangerous thing, but he will still fight, because there are always things in this world that are worth fighting for."

"That's why he was killed." The old knight realized something was wrong after he finished speaking, so he added, "I'm not accusing Lord Russ of acting recklessly."

"I know, but we need to support Trinidad, and Carl and the others. This is an order, not a discussion." Ilea's voice was not loud, but she was firm.

The guardian knight stopped arguing after hearing this, nodded and said, "If you insist, I'll go and gather people right away, and we'll be able to set off soon."

Alfred didn't talk big. The guards he brought this time were all well-trained professional soldiers. They quickly put on their armor and completed the assembly. After that, the group set off quickly.

The purple bird knight also accompanied him, and he also gathered ten more militiamen.After walking for about two miles, the servant whom Jordi sent out to report the news earlier also came back with good news.

He stopped Karl and others before they reached Trinidad's castle, and now those people were retreating.

The team moved forward for less than one mile, and the Purple Jasmine Knight who was walking in the front saw his subordinate knights. After the two sides joined together, the team became much larger, and the number of people had already exceeded Those lizardmen.

Together with Trinidad and his people in the castle, Ilea now has the confidence to teach those robbers a profound lesson.

Seeing that the place where the beacon fire was ignited was getting closer and closer, the old knight suddenly reined in and stopped.

"Did something happen?"

the girl asked.

Alfred didn't answer right away, but listened for a while before saying, "It's too quiet."

"Ok?"

"We are already very close. If Trinidad and his men are still resisting, there should be movement of fighting." The old knight said, "But I didn't hear any shouts of killing."

Miss Rabbit also pricked up her ears and listened carefully for a while, only to find that, as Alfred said, there was no message in Night Breeze.

She was about to say something more, when the horses in the team suddenly became restless, pawing the ground, wagging their tails, and blowing hot air from their noses.

Seeing this, the old knight drew out his saber, and without waiting for his order, the guards of the Arias family were all ready to fight, ready to wait.

Infected by this tense atmosphere, the militiamen followed suit, forming a circle and clenching their weapons.

Alfred then sent two cavalrymen to climb up the small mound in front to investigate the situation ahead.

As a result, the two of them only took a look after they went up, as if they had seen something terrible, they turned their horses' heads and galloped back, gesturing to others while running.

However, soon a sharp arrow flew out from behind them and went straight to a rider's neck!

In a critical moment, the chain armor on his body played a role in blocking the arrow. However, he didn't know whether it was the quality of his armor or the strength of the arrow was so terrifying that it hit him. into his chain mail, and stabbed him in the neck!

A look of pain flashed in the rider's eyes, and then he tilted his body and fell off the horse.

However, his other companion was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, dodging the feather arrows whizzing past behind him, and even if he hit him occasionally, he was stopped by his chain armor, allowing him to escape safely .

"Lizardmen! So many lizardmen!!!" The surviving rider shouted, his voice full of fear.

"How many?" Alfred asked.

The rider didn't answer, because he glanced back and froze.

And he wasn't the only one who froze at this moment. In fact, most people including the old knight were stunned, because they saw the lizardmen all over the mountains, holding all kinds of crude weapons, coming from the hillside. The other end rushed down.

Just a rough estimate, the number has already exceeded 700 people, looking at the black and dense area, and there are lizard people joining in continuously behind, it makes people's scalp tingle.

This is not a bandit at all, but an army!
Not to mention that they have so few people now, even if all the troops on the territory are assembled, they may not necessarily be the opponents of these lizardmen.

Not to mention that the other side will not give them this opportunity at all.

The Arias family... it's over!
At this moment, many people's heads inexplicably flashed this thought.

The purple bird knight was the first to turn around, and without saying a word, he galloped on his horse, and his figure disappeared into the night after a while.

And with him taking the lead, those militiamen who had been frightened for a long time collapsed in an instant, dropped the weapons in their hands, and ran away crying.

However, they didn't ride horses, so it might be difficult for them to outrun those lizardmen. What awaited them was the terrible fate of being slaughtered.

Alfred also ignored those militiamen who were like headless flies, and didn't have any thoughts of gathering them back together. In fact, the old knight also needed these people to help attract the attention of the lizard army on the opposite side.

As for himself, he picked up Miss Rabbit who was still in a daze on the ground.

The latter was trembling all over his body right now, unable to speak a word, and his heart was firmly gripped by fear!
Alfred put the girl on the horse, and then said to the other cavalrymen around him, "Follow me and protect Miss Ilea."

For those without horses, the old knight was helpless.

As for resistance, Alfred never thought about such a thing at all. There were too many people on the opposite side, more than ten times their number, and it was a dead end to stay.

The fierce light in Jude's eyes was also flickering. He watched Alfred and the others keep leaving in front of his eyes. When the last rider was reached, the black beauty suddenly jumped up and threw the man off the horse, while Jude De directly chopped the man's neck with an axe.

Then he put away the bloody ax as if nothing had happened, jumped on the unmanned horse, and fled towards Teacup Castle with Alfred and others.

Because the big guys are busy running for their lives at the moment, and no one pays attention to the episode here, even if someone notices, there is no time to uphold justice.

Everyone felt a strong threat of death!

Although it may not be completely safe to escape to the Teacup Castle, at least the strong fortress run by the Arias family for generations can bring them hope and support at this time.

Thinking of this, everyone began to beat the sitting horse desperately.

In this turbulent time, there was a muffled bang in the bushes and no one noticed at all. Only Ilea, who was already stunned, seemed to think of something she had forgotten, and screamed, "Merlin! It's Merlin." ! Hurry up and save people."

Yet no one paid any attention to her.

Miss Rabbit burst into tears. Seeing that no one listened to her order, she lost her heart and wanted to jump off the horse, but as soon as she made a move, the old knight's arm firmly held her down on the horse. back.

"Don't be self-willed, if you move around again, I can only knock you out, Miss Ilea." Alfred said, the old knight rarely used a non-negotiable tone.

Ilea struggled desperately, but to no avail, she could only watch helplessly as the large group of lizardmen rushed towards the grass with strange screams.

The girl's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.

She never thought that the farewell in life would come so suddenly.
