Ryan's Sword

Chapter 28 No.20 The Queen's Knight in Act Eight

After wearing the broken flame stone ring, Ian's magic defense finally achieved zero breakthrough.With such a harvest, he turned his attention to the remaining string of crystal bracelets and a jade bracelet with increasing interest, hoping to find more surprises.

However, being able to obtain a rare ring with solidified skills seems to have reached the limit of Ian's luck.The remaining two accessories did not meet his expectations. On the contrary, their magic power had been lost a bit. Coupled with their ordinary quality, they only had the most basic intelligence attribute bonus. For Ian who was eating, it was useless at all.

"When we arrive in Louisburg, if we sell these two pieces of jewelry to collection stores, we should be able to make a lot of money, right?"

Ian thought so, and put these feminine jewelry back into the space ring.

In retrospect, although Ian had many outbursts of character in his previous life, like the vast majority of African chiefs, the African blood has been with him most of the time, and there is a big saying "If you never leave, I will depend on you for life and death." " Momentum!Of course, this is also in line with the probability theory emphasized by the development team. According to them, even if you kill a kobold miscellaneous soldier, there is a possibility of bursting out the "dragon blood essence (rare thing/blood)", but, dare you ask? Can it explode?

To put it bluntly, this is a world that depends on faces, and African chiefs here don't have to think too much!

"Mr. Ian, Mr. Ian!"

Victor's shout came from the carriage in front of Keyle's car.Ian looked up, and saw a short and fat young man leaning half out of the carriage window, waving to him vigorously.

Ian rode up to Victor's carriage and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Mr. Victor."

The chunky young man quickly held on to the window of the carriage to prevent himself from being thrown out of the carriage by the bumping carriage, and then said: "Mr. Ian, this morning Captain Kent decided to allocate manpower to set up a patrol team to complete the task in front of the caravan." He asked me to tell you about the pathfinding and reconnaissance work, and hopes that you can also join the patrol team."

"Patrol..."

Ian was startled when he heard this.Normally, caravans don’t assign guards so meticulously when traveling in caravans. The role of the patrols that Victor said is already similar to the scouts that the army sprinkles around when marching.From Ian's point of view, the Captain Kent who advocated doing so was probably also frightened by the battle last night, so he planned to strengthen the caravan's defense and early warning work.

Victor saw Ian's thinking, and added: "Mr. Ian, please rest assured that the patrol team adopts the same rotation mechanism as normal escort work. Each rotation will not last too long, and after arriving in Louisburg, there will be To increase the distribution of salaries accordingly..."

"I will participate, Mr. Victor." Ian interrupted Victor's welfare introduction, and said: "I support Captain Kent's approach, and I hope that the caravan can reach Lewisburg safely as you do, and I will report to Captain Kent later .”

"That's really great, Mr. Ian!" Victor smiled with relief: "With you joining, I think our journey will be more at ease."

"Hey, hey...is it really okay to set up a flag like this!"

The corner of Ian's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he secretly complained in his heart.Ian is quite in awe of the causal law that exists in the dark. Numerous examples in his previous life have proved that the weapon of causal law around the public such as "opening the mouth" does exist, not to mention the fantasy world full of active magic elements like Azure. middle.

Therefore, Ian bid farewell to Victor who wanted to say something without hesitation, and then turned to report to Captain Kent in front of the team.

For Ian's joining, Captain Kent clearly expressed his welcome.Under his scheduling arrangement, the first batch of patrols quickly determined their manpower, and quickly overtook the caravans in progress, exploring the road ahead.

In the subsequent trip, Ian also joined the patrol team's shift rotation under the arrangement of Captain Kent.Although this job was much harder than the normal escort, almost no one complained.After all, after experiencing a tragic victory, no one wants to fall into the previous passive battle again.

From the second day of the itinerary, the patrol team continued to guard and patrol non-stop. Under this high-intensity and large-scale defense and early warning system, the enemy who had experienced a failure seemed to have no chance to attack. The journey was spent without any surprises or dangers.

Until the third day, Captain Kent, who was patrolling ahead, finally brought back the latest news.During his patrol, he found a cavalry team approaching the direction of the caravan in a low-lying place in the distance.

The three guard captains rode their horses together and held a small meeting on the news that Captain Kent had just brought back from the front.

Captain Chris first analyzed: "Cavalry? There is no natural pasture in the southern part of the empire. Even if there is pasture growing, it is used by nobles and garrisons. Therefore, I think that the team coming ahead should not be a group of thieves wandering in the wild. Those guys are incapable of raising an organized cavalry."

"That's right, I think so too, but..." Captain Kent nodded, and at the same time expressed his worries, "The other party is heading towards us along the official road. The distance is too far, and I can't judge what is going on. Friend or foe."

"Then stay alert," Davis said decisively. "Whether the opponent is passing by or coming at us, we must be prepared to fight. If a cavalry rushing to approach us, if they are not bad Good intentions, then trouble!"

Chris nodded and said, "I agree!"

"I also agree." Kent said solemnly: "According to the speed of that team, we can get here soon, without further delay, immediately send an order to stand guard!"

The three guard captains quickly reached a consensus.Under their division of labor and coordination, everyone including the temporary guards quickly arranged a defensive formation, and five carriages carrying heavy cargo were mobilized to the front of the team. Unidentified cavalry approached.

"Da da da da..."

Accompanied by the rhythmic tremors of the earth, the brisk and neat sound of horseshoes came from ahead.In the line of sight of the caravan guards, the dust raised by the war horses was getting closer and closer, which made them, who were waiting in full force, clenched their weapons tightly.

Kent, who had been in the army for a while, frowned slightly. From the sound of the horse's hooves, which were uniform and without any noise, he seemed to see a well-trained light cavalry approaching.However, according to his understanding, the army stationed in Louisburg is only equipped with a heavy cavalry as a mobile force on the frontal battlefield, so which side does the light cavalry in front come from?
Amidst the dust, a light cavalry appeared on the official road in front of the caravan.While approaching the caravan, the team started to slow down early, and stopped in a uniform order within a stone's throw away.This cavalry troop moved in an orderly manner, and maintained an amazing consistency whether it was moving forward or stopping. In Ian's previous life, even if he participated in a dressage show collectively, it would not be a problem.

"Not the enemy..."

The opponent's early deceleration loosened the tight string in Kent's heart, but he still didn't dare to relax, raised his head and looked forward with vigilant eyes.

"……Um?"

There were quite a few people in the caravan who poked their heads out to observe this cavalry team. However, when they saw the figure and appearance of each other clearly, they couldn't help being in an uproar. Like Kent on a horse, there were black question marks all over his face. .

"Am I not mistaken, these are... female knights??"

This is the shocked onlookers.

"...girls??"

This is the outspoken bearded Captain Davis.

"... Blazing Knights??"

This is Mr. Ian who thought he was delusional.

The knight in front of him was riding on a bright white horse without any variegation, and his bright silver half-body light armor shone brightly in the autumn sun.The light armor worn by the knights is simple but not simple. Especially the joints are carefully stretched and stretched to better fit the wearer's body shape. This is a craft that is difficult for many folk blacksmiths to achieve.

With the support of perception attributes, Ian could clearly see the flame-shaped coat of arms engraved on the chests and shoulder armors of the knights at a glance. From a distance, it really feels like a burning flame.In his previous life, Ian had dealt with this famous Ryan knights more than once, so he blurted out at this time.

"Wait, isn't this Knights of Beauty belonging to His Royal Highness the Queen Agnes not officially debuting until the expansion pack 'Unrest in the Imperial City' is updated? Why is it now... yes, Louisburg is the biggest lord of His Royal Highness. City, there is nothing wrong with appearing here... However, in order to match the progress of the game, they were not allowed to appear in the early stage, so it makes sense..."

"Da da……"

The crisp sound of horseshoes interrupted Ian's thoughts.Among the team neighing in front of the horses, a heroic female knight came out more and more, riding a white horse slowly towards the caravan.While everyone subconsciously held their breath, the female knight on horseback stopped in front of Kent in front of the caravan. Under the half-closed helmet, a cool and pretty face was revealed. Together with the fiery red wavy hair, it firmly attracted everyone's attention. look.She bowed slightly on the horse, and said, "The knight commander of the third brigade of the Blazing Knights, you are ordered to come to welcome everyone from the Golden Oak Leaf Firm, welcome to Louisburg!"
