Chapter 25 Layout in the Forest
The distance between the two chasing and fleeing is getting farther and farther.

"Finally got rid of it!"

Jumping from the roof into a small alley, Sauron was relieved. As an intermediate knight, Marth's speed is by no means slow.

If it weren't for the night crow's breathing method, Sauron might not have been able to escape the pursuit.

But now, Marth had disappeared, Sauron hid in a corner, rested for a while, and came out after making sure there was no danger around.

"Birch Forest!"

Immediately afterwards, Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and thoughts flickered in his mind. If Ron can escape the pursuit of the two knights at this moment, the most likely place to go is the Birch Forest.

After all, Ron at this moment has been wanted by the whole city.

Staying in the capital is almost a dead end. Ron's only choice is to leave, and the birch forest can be regarded as a hiding place.

"Go and see."

Sauron pondered for a moment, then threw the cloth strip off his face.

Afterwards, he tidied himself up, walked out of the alley calmly, and soon left the capital, arriving at the outskirts of the birch forest.

As soon as he entered the birch forest, Sauron found a pool of blood in the corner.

He was even more convinced that Ron had fled here, so he quickened his pace, but heard the sound of fighting in the distance.

With a thought in his heart, Sauron quickly climbed up a big tree.

"Unexpectedly, you hid things here!"

A sneer appeared on Marth's face, looking behind Ron, he said quietly: "Your father was able to transport this batch of goods back from the southern border, I should have rewarded him."

"But it's a pity that this batch of goods can't see the light."

"So, in order to keep this secret, I can only sacrifice you. For this, I can only say sorry on behalf of Earl Lane."

After all, Masi bowed gracefully.

Afterwards, he waved his hand, and the two knights beside him immediately stepped forward, intending to kill the injured Ron and take back the precious cargo.

"Stop, don't come over!"

Suddenly, Ron yelled violently, but lit a torch.

Masi's face changed slightly.

"Who dares to come over, I will destroy this thing!"

A look of ferocity flashed in Ron's eyes, he put the torch beside the carriage, and said through gritted teeth: "You moths, how dare you secretly collude with the Cross Gang!"

"If I don't die today, I must expose it to His Majesty!"

Hearing Ron's words, Marth's expression sank.

This batch of goods was transported back from the southern border, and Earl Ryan, the king of the underground, was indeed secretly related to the Crusaders. Even, a large part of the reason why the Crusaders were able to rise rapidly was also relying on Earl Ryan's funding.

"Boy, there are some words, you can't talk nonsense."

Mars remained expressionless, and said in a low voice, "This batch of goods was brought back by your father from the southern border, and he was also the one who traded with the Cross Gang."

"Even if there is any problem, it has nothing to do with Lord Ryan."

"If you want to survive, I advise you to be smarter!"

Mars narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand calmly, pressed it on the thin sword at his waist, and said quietly: "Now kneel down and beg me for mercy, maybe I can give you a chance to live."

Hearing Marth's words, a smirk appeared on Ron's face.

"Chance of survival?"

A look of sadness flashed in Ron's eyes, and he murmured, "I'm already ruined, so what's the point of living?"

"I've long wanted to die..."

"However, I can't die in vain!"

While speaking, Ron gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I will avenge my father and Uncle Moore!"

brush!
At this moment, Marth moved suddenly, and the rapier was drawn out suddenly, and then shot towards Ron like a ray of cold light.

In an instant, the rapier pierced Ron's shoulder.

Ron screamed, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground. Mars and the two knights stepped forward to control him quickly when they saw the opportunity.

"Just because of you, you also want to avenge Lord Ryan?"

Marth's eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm, and he stepped on Ron's wound with his foot, and at the same time waved to the two knights to check the goods on the carriage.

"Of course I'm not capable of dealing with Earl Lane."

A trace of misery flashed in Ron's eyes, and he said quietly: "However, there is still a chance against you executioners!"

Masi felt a little uneasy in his heart.

At this moment, the two knights had already climbed onto the carriage, and one of them had just lifted the canvas above before triggering the mechanism above.

In an instant, the arrows shot in all directions like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

shhhhhh!
Amid the intense sound of piercing through the air, the two knights were the first to bear the brunt and were shot dead by arrows on the spot, while Masi was caught off guard and injured his face by several arrows.

At the same time, Ron quickly rolled aside.

"Damn little bastard!"

Marth caressed the scar on his face, and said with bitter eyes: "Now, even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will let you suffer all the torture before you die."

Then, Mars bent down and picked up the rapier on the ground.

But when he stood up again, he felt dizzy for a while, his heart sank suddenly, and he looked at Ron coldly.

"Not bad, poison!"

Ron dragged his injured body to stand up, quickly bandaged the wound with a cloth strip, and said coldly: "I knew you were an intermediate knight, so naturally you have to prepare."

With that said, Ron took a deep breath and held the cross sword in both hands.

"Do you think this can deal with me?"

Marth's eyes were cold, but he stopped talking, and rushed to Ron in one step, stabbing with the rapier in his hand like a poisonous snake.

"Damn!"

Ron's face changed. He didn't expect that Mars, who was obviously poisoned, could be so fast.

laugh!
When the sword struck, Ron snorted, and his shoulder had been stabbed.

Immediately afterwards, Mars stabbed several times, leaving blood holes on Ron's body, but Ron still insisted on walking.

"We must... want revenge!"

A look of determination flashed in Ron's eyes, and he held the long sword tightly with both hands, trying his best to resist the fierce attack of Mars' rapier.

But soon, he couldn't hold on anymore, and his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

"Hmph! Stupid."

Mars snorted coldly, and said quietly: "With this level of poison, it is too ridiculous to want to deal with intermediate knights?"

"Say, where is Master Ryan's goods?"

As he said that, Marth stepped on Ron's wound, and pressed the rapier in his hand against the opposite throat, as if there was something wrong that he would stab out with a sword.

"Is this... the strength of an intermediate knight?"

Ron laughed miserably, and despair flashed in his eyes. He had tried his best to fight, but he still had no chance of winning against the middle-level knight.

"Speak or not?"

Mars stepped on Ron's wound again, causing pain to appear on his face, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
