Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure galloping from behind.
Different from the Headless Horseman, this is a knight holding a long sword. The armor on his body is more sophisticated, and everyone can see the complicated and exquisite inscriptions on the armor under the reflection of the moonlight.
It is in sharp contrast to the old and dull armor of the second-order headless knights.
In addition to being filled with the aura of death, there was also a strange green glow emanating from the gaps in the armor.
Especially from the eyes under the helmet, green light is constantly floating out like smoke!
"Holy shit, this is the Death Knight!" Even though Nalant had seen this Death Knight in advance in his nightmare predictions, he still couldn't help but stand on end after being immersed in the scene.
"My dad! Narant, we are doomed!" Boris screamed, his face like an eggplant beaten by frost, feeling that his end was approaching.
"If you don't run yet, look at Quint himself running away!" Nalant also wanted to run faster, but he couldn't leave his guards behind either. Seeing Quint's men blocking the road ahead, they were so frightened that they blocked him on the spot.
On the way out, Nalant immediately shouted.
Only then did the guards react.
Sure enough, when they looked at where Quint was originally, there was still Quint there. Quint had already ridden dozens of meters away on his horse.
If there were just some skeleton soldiers, Quint would still have the guts to stay here and block Nalant for a while.
But when he saw these third-level death knights appear, he no longer had time to worry about the safety of his territory. The most important thing now was his own safety.
"Run! Lord Quint has run away!"
"Help!"
For a moment, the abandoned guards did not care to curse and began to run around crying for their fathers and mothers. Many people panicked and fled towards the forests on both sides, feeling that they would be safer if they were covered by trees.
Of course, they probably don't know that even if they can escape the pursuit of the death knight by going into the woods, those hell dogs are more agile than them in the jungle.
Naturally, Nalant would not worry about them. When he saw that there was finally a gap in the road ahead, he immediately urged his subordinates.
"Quick, run over and surpass them!"
After all, two legs cannot run as fast as four legs. At this time, not to mention the death knight's speed which is far superior to other dark creatures, the headless knight and the hell dog are gradually approaching.
They must run in front of Quint's guards to avoid the fate of being overtaken.
Following Nalant's urging, the guards gritted their teeth and ran faster.
Finally, after more than ten seconds, they truly entered Quint Territory.
puff!
"ah!"
At this moment, before Nalant could breathe a sigh of relief, screams came from behind.
Nalant turned his head and found that a guard from Quint had jumped out of the woods for some unknown reason. As a result, he happened to bump into the death knight who was speeding towards him.
I saw the sword in the death knight's hand piercing the guard's chest with just a slight pick.
In an instant, a green light enveloped the guard. The guard screamed, and then his whole body shriveled up until he turned into a mummy and collapsed to the ground.
"Hiss!" Nalant gasped, this death knight is too terrifying!
"Ah! There are dark creatures in the woods, run away!"
At this moment, several more Quint guards ran out of the woods. Accompanied by screams, two figures behind them chased them out of the woods.
It turned out that at some point two hell dogs actually entered the woods. After the guards noticed it, they were forced back to the dirt road.
However, when they came to the dirt road, they died even faster.
Puff puff!
The Death Knight and the Headless Horseman appeared in front of them, and with the muffled sound of swords and axes piercing flesh, these guards became dead souls under the swords and axes before they could react.
"Everyone, speed up!" Nalant didn't dare to look anymore. If he didn't run quickly, it would be their turn when these Quint guards were dead.
Next, Nalant led the team to escape. Thanks to the training during the day, the guards did not fall behind or become separated during the process.
On the contrary, Quint's guards lost their backbone and panicked, pushing and shoving each other. Many of them were knocked to the ground and trampled by their companions.
"Narant, what should we do now!" The threat to his life was temporarily avoided, but Boris was still not happy.
Before long, those dark creatures will also pursue you.
He and Nalant had horses so they could escape, but the problem was that their men couldn't run very far.
If these guards are all killed, then even if they can survive, it will be a heavy loss.
"What else can I do? Just follow Quint!" Nalant rolled his eyes.
Quint fled before them, and there was no one in the front blocking the way, so no one could be seen at this time.
Only a small number of Quint guards were still running in front of them.
"Is this... okay..." Boris felt a little guilty.
They lured dark creatures to the Gwent Territory, which was already a very unkind act, and they would definitely be questioned by the Black Iron Earl later.
If he still followed Quint all the way now, he would probably be able to reach Quint's castle directly, and then the hatred would be even greater.
Dark creatures have a habit, that is, after landing, they will kill all the creatures they see, but in the end they will unconsciously head towards the nearest noble castle.
Although people have no way of knowing the reason for this situation, it also prevents the nobles from worrying about the threats to themselves from dark creatures appearing in other territories.
Therefore, if Nalant and the others really go outside Quint's castle, the dark creatures will definitely start attacking Quint's castle first.
"Boris, do we have a better choice now? More than 80 of your guards are here, and there are more than 20 of mine! They must not be able to outrun the death knights and hell dogs!"
Narant rolled his eyes.
"Then... let's go!" It was once again a matter of death for you, and finally Boris gritted his teeth and had no choice but to make a choice.
At this moment, he felt that he had been tricked by Narant, but there was no evidence.
It was obviously just an exercise as promised, but unexpectedly, we encountered an invasion of dark creatures. Moreover, a third-level death knight rarely appeared in this small group of dark creatures. No one else had such luck...
Next, Nalant and the others kept running in the right direction for more than an hour. Seeing that the guards were about to run out of energy, they finally arrived outside the small town of White Salt in the Quint Territory.
At this time, the town of White Salt was in a state of chaos. Thanks to the movements of the Quint guards in front, the townspeople had already learned about the invasion of dark creatures and began to flee for their lives.
"Let's go, let's follow the townspeople and hide first. Since those dark creatures are coming near the castle, the priority target of attack must be Quint's castle!"
At this time, Narant finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the plan he had been thinking about and planning for so many days was finally completed successfully without any mistakes.
If he wants to make Quint pay the price, Nalant can't do it himself at present. Who knows that Quint has a count father.
But now it was a dark creature that made a move. Even if it was Nalant who caused it, there are many excuses to shirk it, and the apparent responsibility that will be suffered is not worth mentioning.
