Sword Sorcery

Chapter 62
Iron Ring Forest
In a dense and exuberant jungle, there is a figure running fast. His facial features are handsome and his skin is fair, especially the rather rare short black hair and a pair of light red pupils, which completely shows his identity—— —Aaron.

At this moment, Aaron was running at full speed. He swept across the grass like a scud missile, bringing up pieces of grass clippings and soil flying in the air. Before these debris fell to the ground, Aaron's figure had disappeared. In the shadows of the jungle.

Hurry~!

You must leave the place where you just sent out the 'flare' as soon as possible!

While running, Aaron analyzed the current situation quite clearly, especially with the help of the chip, he even had a [-] to [-]% chance of guessing the future movements of some of the opponent's troops!

But even so, Aaron's face was still full of dignity, and he didn't relax at all about the current situation in his heart, and thoughts kept turning in his mind——

"According to the chip's time display, half an hour has passed since I sent out the first 'flare', in other words, I have successfully attracted the enemy's attention for about half an hour—so it seems that An Ge at this moment Li and the others should have arrived at Starwind Lake."

"If I drive a steed alone, it will only take about ten minutes to go from Iron Ring Forest to Starwind Lake. Therefore, I need at least a little more time, and then quietly find a chance to sneak to the exit of Iron Ring Forest Get on the steed left by An Geli and leave here quickly."

"Then, the key to life and death lies in the next period of time."

Aaron thought about it, and shook the blood-stained cross sword in his hand—this was already the fourth long sword he had bought. With his strength close to the peak knight level, ordinary iron long swords could not withstand his long-term strength. Instilled with the breath of life, often after a battle, the cross sword will face the result of material collapse.

Aaron had experienced five battles in total before, and the long sword that originally belonged to him had been damaged in the battle. Fortunately, most of these soldiers also used sword-shaped weapons, so Aaron didn't have to worry about lack of weapons. embarrassing situation.

Of course, including killing five soldiers for the first time, Aaron killed about 20 soldiers in five battles. I believe the other party must have been aware of some facts, and the next battle may be even more difficult!

Thinking of this, Aaron sighed, and muttered to himself: "Obviously I have killed more than 20 people. If it were an ordinary small army, it would have already become disintegrated? However, the opponent is still continuing to fight." Looking for our persistent appearance, it seems that the overall number of the other party is quite scary-I really took on a hard job."

"I don't regret it, though!"

There was a hint of firmness in Aaron's eyes, and with a single step, he rushed into the shadow of a dense forest again, like a poisonous snake ready to go
at the same time
somewhere in hoop forest
Taylor led his men to the place where Aaron had released the flare. As for Rowan and Vaughn, the two peak knights also brought their men here one after another. The three peak knights gathered together again.

It's just that the expressions on their faces are very ugly, and each of them is so gloomy that it seems to be dripping water - it can be seen that the three peak knights were very annoyed by Aaron's "guerrilla interference", but they also If he can't catch this cunning troublemaker, his mood will not be much better.

"My men have lost a total of seven soldiers, and they are all small teams of three or four!"

Taylor was the first to speak, and added very annoyedly: "When they were searching deep into the woods, they were attacked by the enemy, and they only had time to send out 'flares' one after another. By the time we arrived at the scene, the enemy had already disappeared. It disappeared without a trace—only the corpses of soldiers were left on the ground!"

Luo Wen also echoed: "That's right, our side is also in the same situation. I lost a total of eight soldiers, and these soldiers all belonged to two teams of four people. Similarly, after they sent out the 'flare' Afterwards, I led my men to the scene quickly, but I only saw a pile of corpses without any trace of the enemy!"

Fu En, the most irritable among the three, calmed down at this moment, and said with a serious face: "My situation is similar to the two of you, and I also lost seven soldiers. However, these losses are not without certain value , at least brought us some intelligence about the enemy—"

"First of all, our enemy is not weak, at least he has a strong man above the official knight level, and he can kill three to four ordinary soldiers in seconds, at least he is also the peak of the official knight - half a foot into the peak knight The realm of strength."

Speaking of this, Fu En showed a sneer on his face, as if he had caught his opponent's tail, and said in a deep voice:
"However, the opponent's overall strength is relatively weak, so they did not choose to confront us head-on. Instead, they specifically found some teams with fewer people to attack. This reflects a weak mentality that they do not have the confidence to defeat our large forces head-on."

"In addition, their mobility and action capabilities are extremely strong, so that they can successfully break out of the encirclement before our large forces form an encirclement, and successfully get rid of our tracking."

"From these two points—"

Fu En's expression became solemn, and he said word by word: "There is probably only one person on the other side!"

"Because the opponent has only one official peak knight, he can sneak attack our small team as he likes, and after he completed the 'crime', he successfully avoided the attack by relying on his mobility and agility as a powerful knight. He opened the search of those ordinary soldiers, and was able to slip away smoothly under our noses!"

Luo Wen suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder we haven't been able to catch the enemy's feet, and we haven't even seen their figures. In fact, there is no army at all. The opponent has only one person from the beginning to the end!"

Thinking of this, Rowan's face became very embarrassing - anyone who was teased by Aaron like a monkey would not be in a better mood.

Similarly, Taylor also agreed with an unfriendly expression: "So we used the wrong method from the beginning. We can't find that enemy in the same way as dealing with large troops. We have to set him up a little bit!"

"That's right!" Vaughan said with a sneer, "I have a proposal about the way of 'trapping'."
