Chapter 23 Dark Assault (2)

In the dark environment, Lao Gerson lit a torch and carefully escorted Sally towards the nearest Consetton Fortress.

As a border fortress, Conseton is easy to defend but difficult to attack because of its tall walls. Even if there are thousands of orcs, they are not worried about any accidents. Just before coming to Fenx Village, Lao Gesson had actually sent a soldier to inform the news and asked the army to come out with a token. In other words, long before arriving at Fenx Village, the duchess daughter had decided to go back to Conseton fortress tonight.

But obviously, Sally did not place all her hopes on the fortress.

"I know there are some risks in doing this, and if things really get to the point where things are so irreversible that even the Consetton Fortress can't provide me with shelter, we immediately turn south and return to Hallier City."

Only when there are no outsiders everywhere will the unconcealed spiritual wisdom appear in her eyes.

Sally is far from a silly girl who takes one step at a time. It can even be said that she is one of the few women of this era who have independent thinking consciousness. She is flexible in mind and knowledgeable. Although she is a daughter, her knowledge and ability are not inferior to her dazzling brother.

However, the difference between her and Francis is that she did not choose to show her strength, but instead hid her in the sheath and was extremely restrained.

Old Gesson understood Sally's ability and nodded in agreement with her decision, but he still couldn't imagine that Consetton Fortress would be considered threatening by Sally. Could it be that if the orc attacks, humans themselves would start to kill each other for inexplicable reasons?

When he thought of Francis's respect and consistent appearance to everyone for more than ten years, Lao Gesson really didn't believe this would become a fact.

The team of seven people set out in the dark, and the torches reflected their figures. Perhaps they thought they had left the village where the orcs were originally going to attack, they all relaxed their vigilance in their hearts. The atmosphere in the team was not tense, and it could even be said to be a little relaxed.

Everything is easy to hold.

However, on the vast and dark plain, an undetectable black shadow always followed silently in the distance.

Roddy always kept a safe distance from the other party. The other party could not hear the sound of horse hooves here, and it was even more impossible to notice that he was being followed like this - and Roddy, who was afraid that he would need to search for it for a while, was looking at the shaky torch and sighing helplessly.

"A bunch of fools, aren't this waiting to be a target for the enemy?"

..

At the same time, Consetton Fortress.

"Sir! This is Miss Sally's request, you can't ignore it!"

In front of the gate of Consetton Fortress, the moat suspension bridge had just been closed. This was the first time in several years that this fortress had so actively suspended the suspension bridge that had not been pulled up for a long time. The wide moat and solid city walls would always bring a strong sense of security to the soldiers guarding the kingdom here, but at this moment, the soldier who came to ask for help felt cold in his heart.

"You didn't understand what I said? If you can't bring out Miss Sally's handwritten letters and tokens, I have no right to let the soldiers go out in the dark."

The rank of the captain at the city gate is not high, but the county magistrate is not as good as the current officer. Although the fortress is a knight under Lord Kirk, an ordinary soldier next to Sally wanted to talk to the other party in person was not easy to do. But what made the soldier extremely angry was that he did hold Miss Sally's handwritten letter and token, but was completely ignored by the other party!

"But."

The soldier looked back at the suspension bridge that was pulled up behind him. This meant that even his way back to report the news was completely cut off.

"Nothing, but I think you are lying about military information privately and trying to mobilize the army, according to military rules... This is a serious crime!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people rushed up and pressed the soldier to the ground. Before he could defend himself, he was knocked to the back of his head and fainted.

All this happened very suddenly. After seeing the other party fall to the ground, the captain pursed his lips, as if he was struggling in his heart, but finally waved his hand and said, "Do you understand if you see a bastard who pretends to be a soldier and cheat, do you understand?"

"yes!"

The soldiers on both sides dragged the other party away, and the atmosphere around them was extremely silent.

In this dark night, Consetton Fortress should have been a beacon that brings people a sense of security, but at this moment, it has transformed into a beast in the dark that chooses people to eat...

………

As midnight approached, the villagers of Fenx Village had already left the village early, leaving behind an empty building. At this moment, a black team appeared quietly outside the village.

Their mounts ran silently on the ground, far from the mighty momentum of war horses galloping. Fifteen orc wolves came to the grass slope outside Fenx Village. According to common sense, orcs with poor eyesight at night would not choose to conduct so-called "reconnaissance" at this time, but it was obvious that today's mission was extraordinary. These wolves and cavalry warriors holding scimitars had a firm face and a strong fighting will on their bodies - because they were the backbone of the "Rohar Hammer" tribe, and at the same time... they were also subordinates of the witch doctor Sarota.

As the "real power" of Rohal's Hammer, the witch doctor Sarota has gradually gained awesome power and ability in recent years. Although his subordinates are only the lowest-level scout infantry in the tribe, the loyalty of these members to him is obvious to all.

At this moment, these wolf cavalry did not hesitate too much and rushed straight down the grass slope and then entered the empty village.

"Master Sarota is indeed right."

Before coming, these orcs received an order to "find the village" rather than "destroy the village", and received a personal reminder from the witch doctor Sarota: If you find that there is no one in the village, report it immediately.

At this time, the orc scouts had to sigh in their hearts that Lord Sarota's wisdom was so striking, and then immediately turned the wolf's head and ran towards another direction in the darkness.

..

Roddy looked at the team in front of him that slowed down his pace, gently pulled the reins, and stopped the horse under his crotch.

The speed of traveling in the dark was relatively slow. At midnight, the team in the distance was barely reaching the fortress. Roddy, who was monitoring alone, was a little hungry and secretly searched for the food carried by the horses, thinking about replenishing some energy.

Chewing the hard dry cheese, Roddy re-examined the equipment he carried - two quivering boots, horn bows, two scimitars, wearing leather armor and arm armor, which was full. In the past, due to his long-term habit of walking alone, he brought food for at least three days. After touching his pocket, the voodoo dice was still inside. After examining the character attributes, Roddy confirmed that his health was full.

He raised his head and the team of Sally and others in the distance had completely stopped.

What are they doing?

Consetton Fortress was within sight, but because of the night, it was impossible to see its outline clearly. Roddy would not know... Sally's team had lost the news from the soldier who reported the news and made a decision to stop.

Two hundred meters away, Old Gerson, holding a torch, looked solemn, while Sally beside her had more helpless expressions. She took care of her platinum hair and sighed: "It seems that we can't go back to Conseton today. It's obvious that a fortress was silent so much that even a lamp was not willing to light it. My dear brother had obviously made his final decision."

"Miss, I'll take someone to see--"

"Old Gesson, you understand that it is useless," Sally interrupted his words and waved unquestionably: "As planned, we will return to Hollier City immediately. With my father's side, he still has no way to continue to surround me."

This may be the sorrow of the nobles of the kingdom. Brothers and sisters fought each other, tentatively and even did not hide their naked murderous intentions. They learned to survive in this invisible sword light and sabre shadow at the age of twenty... At this moment, Sally still had confidence in herself.

As early as two days ago, she had clearly learned everything this brother wanted to do through the forces and channels she had secretly cultivated. In Vic Village acting, temptation, and the touch of Fenx Village was about to return, and almost everything was within Sally's control and prediction - if the only accident and doubt was the scout captain of Nolan Village...

Sally was a little curious. How did that guy learn about this news?

However, this doubt was suddenly interrupted by a question-

"What is that?!"

The soldier holding a torch could not see clearly what the shadow in the darkness was in the distance because the light source was beside him. He just vaguely saw something seemed to be passing by on the horizon in the distance.

Old Gerson turned around, as if he noticed the strange atmosphere. He looked at the torches that were lit around him, immediately discovered the problem and ordered: "Extinguish the torches!"

Ten seconds later, the surroundings returned to darkness, and tranquility enveloped the team. Fortunately, the guards, the maid's expression was obviously scared and looked around tremblingly.

"team leader--"

"Silence!"

Old Gerson whispered, then carefully identified the subtle voice in the wind, and then his expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it...Damn it! It's the wolf cavalry! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The atmosphere of the team riding on the horse instantly became tense. Everyone who tried to turn the horse's head tried to kick the horse's belly, but because they tried too hard, the maid who accompanied the team actually fell off the horse because of her lack of equestrian skills!

But none of the soldiers dared to get off the horse and helped her up - they all understood what Lao Gesen's warning just now meant, the wolf cavalry. This was definitely a nightmare for humans living on the border, not to mention that the muffled sound of the wolf running in the distance had begun to become unconcealed!

Sally wanted to dismount and help the maid up, but Gesen grabbed her arm. Without saying a word, she whipped her mount on the butt and turned around and shouted: "Don't care about anything! Miss protecting her to break through the south!"

The team immediately began to rush towards Conserton Fortress - at this moment, Gesen could only hope that the other party would retreat after seeing the human fortress. As for whether the fortress door would be opened, he did not have much hope.

But after riding a horse for more than a hundred meters, he turned around and found an imminent problem: the group of wolf cavalry was too fast, and since they rushed down the hillside, it was much more ferocious than the newly-started war horses. Miss Sally was not good at riding, and the speed was one line slower than the veterans. If he continued to maintain this speed, he would be caught up by the wolf cavalry in less than half a minute - he knew the ability of the orcs to throw nets. Once any cavalry was approached by them, it would be basically a word of death!

So, the veteran made his own decision after a few seconds of silence.

He suddenly twisted the horse's head aside, then shouted loudly: "Everyone, draw your sword! Get ready to catch the enemy!"

There were only four soldiers in total. Their thin figures were really weak compared to the fifteen orc wolf cavalry rushing up from a dark place not far behind them. However, at this time, Lao Gesen seemed to have little hesitation.

"Miss Sally, keep moving forward and don't look back!"

After saying this, he led the young soldiers under him to turn the team to the left, raised his long sword, and rushed towards the enemies who should not have appeared here.

Sally widened her eyes and wanted to speak, but then covered her mouth and even bit her fingers hard before she could not shout out. Although she was young, she was far more intelligent than ordinary people, the words "bleeding and sacrifice" seemed to exist only in those books forever. When everything really happened suddenly, Sally, who was underage, accepted the decision of these soldiers to die generously for her sake.

But the reason in her mind told her that she had to hold the reins in her hand tightly and continue to move forward - only by living can she avenge these soldiers, and only by escaping from her brother's trap and trap can these blood not flow in vain!
