The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 104 Death
The sun, which had been flying in the sky for a day, slowly fell to the west of the Misty Mountains, and the shadow gradually covered the entire eastern part of Rovanian.

The fleet led by Herbert had already traveled dozens of kilometers on the rushing river, and because of the exhaustion of the boys, they had changed several waves of rowers, and they could not and did not dare to rest.

As the two teams of men and horses continued to move eastward along the rushing river, the trees on the banks of the river gradually became denser. The dense forest was no longer suitable for horses to run. Card could only give up the strategy of following Herbert on the shore, and turned to find other reasons that were more suitable for cavalry.

At this time, the north bank of the river finally calmed down because of the departure of the Dongyi people. Herbert's nervous heart did not calm down because of the changes in the surrounding environment.

On the contrary, he became even more nervous. After all, invisible enemies make people more frightened.

Herbert knew that Barr would not give up at this point, and the speed of riding a horse on the shore was far faster than sailing against the current. He always felt that the enemy might be waiting for him ahead.

"Continue to advance along the south bank, longbowmen, always pay attention to the movements on the north bank."

The trees on both sides of the bank became more and more dense as the boat moved forward, and the birds flying from time to time reminded the people in the river that the forest on the bank was not calm, and the river became more turbulent at this time, and the environment in front of them was more turbulent. It was dark.

In the past, caravans with small boats would always rest on the shore overnight after driving here, so that they could have a good physical condition tomorrow morning to deal with the more difficult river.

At this time, Herbert, who was frowning tightly, fell into a dilemma. He was hesitating whether to issue an order to rest on the shore. On the south bank of the river, he saw a large number of traces left by his tribe after they camped. Xin, someone even thoughtfully left a tent for himself who came behind.

All these signs indicated that the last group of townspeople who left were not very far away.

Herbert didn't want to go ashore to rest at this time. He knew that the enemy and the horses must need to rest, but the boat didn't need it. He only needed to arrange for his men to sleep on the boat and row the boat in turn, so that they could keep heading towards the river, and maybe they could rely on This way, get rid of the enemy's tracking.

In Herbert's thinking, the boat was still advancing slowly but firmly, the river channel was gradually narrowing, and the distance between the boats close to the south bank and the north bank was rapidly shortening, and now it was less than 20 meters. The short bow can play 100% of its performance at this distance.

But Herbert, who was already deep in thought, didn't realize this at the first time. He was already very tired after entangled with the enemy for a long time and concentrated his mind for a long time.

However, the attendant beside Herbert noticed something was wrong. He looked at the lord who was thinking, and tentatively said, "My lord."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~~~"

A large group of flying birds rose from the forest, interrupting the attendant's words and also interrupting Herbert's thinking. As the flying birds left, countless Dongyi soldiers rushed out of the forest with short bows in their hands. The leaders were Barr and Akkad.

Seeing the enemies pouring out of the forest, Herbert's eyes widened, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

"I might die here."

It turned out that after being out of Herbert's sight, the Dongyi people were lucky enough to find a trail suitable for horses in the forest on the bank, and then they galloped on this trail for nearly an hour under Barr's suggestion. After that, it has far surpassed Herbert and his party
Then they lay in ambush on the narrower bank of the river.Finally, they waited for their prey before dark.

"Fire the arrows and shoot them dead for me."

Barr stared at Herbert and the others in the river with fiery eyes, and he had lost the will to capture them. His current mood was filled with anger and fear, which made him want to kill the northerners in front of him quickly.

It turned out that Akkad, accompanied by Ashur's envoy, was extremely dissatisfied after learning about the situation in Honghe Town. The military operations of more than 4000 people from the two tribes resulted in nothing but an abandoned town.

The envoy didn't even see the supplies, slaves, and wealth that Ashur wanted, which made it impossible for him to explain to Ashur after he returned.

After seeing Barr, Ashur's envoy naturally questioned him, and the unspeakable Barr accumulated quite a lot of dissatisfaction in the envoy's eccentric words along the way.

After all, he is also a warlord in charge of a tribe of thousands of people.

But Barr didn't dare to talk back at all, and he thought that the priority at this time was not to keep Herbert's life. If this guy was captured, let him talk nonsense in front of Ashur, what would he say? It was Barr who tipped off the people in Honghe Town to run away.

Then he, the warlord of the Baltra people, might really be on the verge of death. Barr, who has finally climbed to his current position, cannot allow such a thing to happen.

Following the order to shoot, hundreds of arrows flew out from the north bank of the Runliu River, and struck towards the position of the northerners. Unprepared, one-third of the longbowmen who were about to draw their bows to fight back, just He died tragically under this wave of arrow rain.

Herbert, who was standing in the middle of the team, was extremely lucky to escape the shooting. Looking at the longbowmen around him who fell into the water, he shouted hoarsely: "Go ashore, quickly go ashore."

At this moment, Herbert was very anxious. He knew that shooting at so many enemies in the river would definitely lead to a dead end. He had to go to the shore, take advantage of the longer shooting distance of the longbow, and pull with the enemy before he could resist. and the possibility to entangle the enemy.

However, before the nearly 50-year-old man could issue further orders, a pitch-black arrow with a barb pierced his chest at this moment. Herbert looked down at the chest subconsciously covered by his right hand, and his body Sitting limply on the boat.

The severe pain coming from the lungs every time he took a breath made Herbert's eyes black for bursts, and he gradually lost consciousness, feeling as if his body was being dragged by someone, and there was a lot of anxiety in his ears shouts.

And he couldn't hear what his subordinates said anymore. He was still worried about the safety of his clansmen at this time, so he could only do his best. At the end of his life, he gave the last order in a very weak voice: "Run, Tell the tribe to run"

Before the words fell, the lord of Honghe Town lost his voice in the arms of his subordinates.

Seeing Herbert who had been shot, Akkad, who had dark skin and messy hair, put down the extremely weird longbow in his hand, and sneered, he knew that there was no possibility of that person surviving.

Akkad didn't have as many thoughts as Barr, but he also understood the principle of capturing the thief first, and the person who was clearly giving orders was naturally the leader of these dozens of people, so there must be nothing wrong with killing them first.

Barr looked at Arkad who shot Herbert to death, and suddenly felt a little gratitude in his heart. After all, after letting Herbert run away, there would be endless troubles for him.

"What are you looking at, trash, don't hurry up."

Akkad looked at Barr staring at him, and he felt tired for a while. He didn't look down on this guy who was full of calculations. He always felt that Barr, as a Dongyi, kept dressing himself so clean. Why?Want to be the son-in-law of your boss?His turn?
These words directly made Barr's little gratitude to Akkad disappear, and the face that was about to smile regained its calmness again. After a cold snort, Barr turned and walked towards the path they found.

At this time, the few remaining longbowmen in Honghe Town could no longer care about their sorrow. They carried their dead lord on their backs, quickly escaped into the dense forest on the south bank, and ran towards the west. The mission was to be completed, but they were only on foot, how could they run past these Dongyi cavalry?

But they couldn't care less about that. The death of the lord made them feel turmoil. Being able to carry out Herbert's last order at this time was already enough to prove their loyalty.

Barr has completely relaxed after getting rid of the serious worry in his heart. He suggested that everyone should rest on the shore tonight. Akkad and Ashur's envoy agreed to this suggestion.

After all, the cavalrymen were already tired from entanglement with the northerners for a day, and the horses also needed to rest and eat some concentrated feed to recover from the excessive energy consumed during the day.

In the early morning of the next day, the Dongyi people who had been repaired were chasing west along the rushing river again. Barr would not believe that there was only such a fleet in the river. He boldly speculated that slaves, supplies, and wealth were very It might be just ahead.

However, the fact is also true. In the afternoon of that day, they caught up with the fleet that Herbert wanted to protect wholeheartedly. It was hundreds of townspeople driving dozens of small boats, sailing on the rushing river.

The Dongyi people, who finally saw their prey, became excited in an instant. They had hundreds of cavalrymen, and they just caught up with the fleet in front. Human beings ran to the south bank because of fear, but they couldn't escape their palms.

After all, it's not like these Dongyi people and their rune horses can't swim.

However, just as Barr and the others were extremely excited to drive their horses forward, a huge roar sounded in the forest to the northwest of them, and their mounts also stopped in fear amidst the roar. After stepping down, the horse's head began to swing around under the tense atmosphere, as if it wanted to find the creature that made such a terrible sound.

Then, a black bear with a big ferocious face appeared from the direction of the roar, and quickly rushed towards them. Behind the black bear were dozens of wilderness town light cavalry holding spears.

The mounts of the Dongyi cavalry, after facing the behemoth they had never seen before, let out horrified hisses, and began to run uncontrollably in the forest, trying to stay away from the frightening creatures.

And the Dongyi cavalry riding on them are indeed the elite under Barr and Akkad. Except for a few who were thrown off their horses in panic, most of them calmed down their mounts in a short time. Then he looked at his leader nervously, and several soldiers could no longer bear the fear, and turned their heads to run away.

"run!!!"

Following Barr's loud shout, the cavalrymen under his command took the lead in reining in their horses, and fled frantically along the way they came, as if there was the extremely frightening black knight behind them.

Akkad, who was a step behind, also hesitated a little, and drove his men to flee with an expression of reluctance.

He had never seen such a huge black bear, and the power of the charge directly filled Akad's heart with fear, even the most powerful himself, not to mention those men who were far inferior to him.

Akkad knew that this battle was impossible to fight.

However, in this short period of hesitation, Grim, who was extremely fast, caught up with them. The speed of the horses running in panic was far inferior to that of Grim, who was charging at full speed. He didn't take the initiative to attack these enemies running on the trail, but all the horses approached by him would stop at his roar and squat on the ground, no matter how much the rider on them urged them, they would remain indifferent.

These Dongyi people who couldn't drive their own horses were quickly overtaken by the wilderness town light cavalry led by Kress, throwing spears from the cavalry's hands one after another, and flew towards those who wanted to run into the forest The enemy, then penetrated their bodies and took the lives of these people.

After throwing the spears in their hands, the light cavalry pulled out the sabers around their waists, bypassed the unmounted horses, and continued to charge towards the enemy in front. The horses under their crotches had long been familiar with Grimm With a breath, it won't collapse to the ground like the rune horse at this time.

Grim, who was charging at high speed, was already behind Akkad at this time, but as time passed, the rune steed under Akkad's crotch gradually recovered, and the huge size also consumed Grim. With a lot of physical strength, his speed has gradually been unable to keep up with the enemy in front of him.

At this time, the Dongyi warlord, who was covered in sweat, looked back at the big bear who was getting farther and farther away from him, and he felt relieved. Then he thought of his elite subordinates who had all died tragically, and suddenly hated the one who ran ahead. bal.

"If it wasn't for his suggestion, if it wasn't for him running so fast, how could I be in such a mess? When I go back, I must make this guy look good."

However, before Akkad, full of hatred, figured out how to make Barr look good, a white horse unexpectedly passed Grimm at this time, and rushed towards Akkad quickly. "Swish swish swish" three flying knives flew out and nailed Akkad's back of the head, neck and back respectively.

The Dongyi warlord whose vitals were suddenly attacked, his eyes turned black for a while, and soon he couldn't control himself. In extreme unwillingness, he fell to the ground from his horse, and then he watched helplessly. The figure pressed on his body, and then there was a sound of bones breaking, and Akad also lost consciousness at this time.

The one who shot the throwing knife was naturally Kress. The top-quality steed named "Sapphire" she was riding was not outstanding in other aspects, only speed was its strong point, and it could even run as fast as an elf horse on flat ground. Comparable.

At this moment, Kress, who reined in his horse, looked at Barr and the others who had already run away, and waved to stop the men who were about to continue to catch up.

"Forget it, stop chasing, clean up the battlefield, and return to the camp."

After all, the purpose of her coming this time is to save those northern humans in the river, not to kill all the attacking Dongyi people.
