"According to human distance conversion, it should be about nineteen miles."
"A mile? A mile? A mile or a kilometer? The difference between the units is not even a tiny bit."
Shao Wei sighed when he heard the other end of the phone hesitating and couldn't speak, "Then how long will it take for you to catch up with those people?"
"We found the horseshoe prints that they didn't cover up not long ago, but you can't see them anymore on the harder ground here." Broccoli kicked the big hamster that was sniffing around on the ground, "Quickly
Find out which path they took, Lord Shi Junjun is still waiting for our rescue!"
More than thirty goblins were on guard around this forest intersection. This was the only uninjured green dwarf left in the entire village after the attack.
After accidentally walking in the wrong direction while driving at night, they had originally prepared for the worst-case scenario that the attackers had retreated to South Rivers. However, judging from the latest traces discovered, these people seemed to have taken a big trip in the forest.
Circle, until this intersection, they were only a short distance ahead of them.
If this is the case, the goblins will have a chance to catch up with the attackers before exiting the forest.
"Turk, do we really want to fight those humans again?" A goblin next to him who was carrying a stone spear taller than himself asked timidly.
From the slightly raised chest of this green-skinned dwarf, and the facial features that are much more delicate than Broccoli, it is not difficult to tell that this is a woman.
"Those humans who had issues with us kidnapped Lord Shi Junjun." Broccoli said without looking back:
"Sir, you have helped us so much. As long as there is one person alive in our village, we must repay her!"
"Find out which way it is!"
The hamster that was hurriedly taken out of the cage confirmed the direction in which the guards of Lord Nanlisifus were leaving. Broccoli took the lead, and then the goblins followed his footsteps.
The guard captain Reinhardt, who was walking at the front of the cavalry, closed his eyes and suddenly lifted the reins gently. The horse that had been with him for four years immediately stopped trotting. The guards behind him were unaware of what was going on.
After a brief hesitation, he did the same thing.
After a few breaths, Sergeant Major Wei slowly opened his eyes and spoke with a cold expression:
"We're being targeted by something."
The guards exchanged looks with their companions in surprise. Now they were only about half a day's journey from South Rivers, and were almost reaching the edge of the forest. How could there be monsters in the forest eyeing this team?
"Don't worry, it's not a very strong monster." Even so, the guard captain's face still didn't look good: "But there are a lot of them, and they come very quickly."
"If we speed up our horses, can we run out of the forest before they catch up with us?" the middle-aged guard asked, taking a few steps forward on his horse.
"It should be possible, but if they continue to pursue us, they will enter the villages we must pass through when returning to South Rivers."
The captain of the guard drew his side sword. The blade was sharp and sharp, and it was not dulled at all by cutting off that idiot Pilgon's head.
"It turns out that adults have such considerations."
The middle-aged guard nodded, also pulled out his sword, turned around with his horse and joined the guard leader, "Although I really want to run away...but there is my family in that village."
"My sister got married in that village." The young guard who had been stunned before silently led his horse beside them, "I heard that I will have a beautiful little niece this year."
"My good friend is in that village."
"My uncle worked in the blacksmith shop in that village..."
These local guards from South Risieforth soon found the reason why they had to stay, so they all gathered around the guard captain with their horses, waiting for the latter's instructions.
"Although it shouldn't be a very powerful monster, there are more enemies than us, so it's not advisable to take the initiative to confront them."
The captain of the guard lowered his voice and quickly issued an order: "Ven, you are the most seriously injured. Hide our horses in a hidden place in front, just in case. Go to the village nearest the kingdom's garrison, report my name, and request
With the assistance of their commander, Crosso, Fernando, you take your bows and arrows and climb up the tree..."
Guard Captain Reinhardt, who had arranged the tactics, watched the backs of his companions leaving in a hurry, and at the same time realized a cruel fact.
That is, in the near future, these companions who are fighting alongside him will inevitably stand on his opposite side and risk their lives with him.
Including him, the team, leaving aside the stupid Pilgon and Wayne who left to report the message, only has seven people left who can fight against the ignorant pursuers.
To be precise, six and a half, because he also spent a large part of his attention staring at the captured girl next to him.
Shi Junjun, who still didn't understand what was going on, was escorted from horseback to the captain of the guard with a confused look on her face. She didn't react until she saw the guards hiding in ambush around her.
What is this group of people being hunted by?
Could it be that Broccoli and the Goblins came to save her?
The girl, who was careful not to show any expression of excitement, quietly moved her hands and feet, which were numb and stiff due to being tied up for too long, to ensure that these body parts would not hold back her when escaping. At the same time, she observed the seven kidnappers from another world.
position, and began to silently plan an escape route in his mind.
In addition, she was wearing a coat with its own pocket portal. If she could break free from the rope, she didn't know what items Shao Wei had sent her.
Maybe Shao Wei was telling the truth that day. If he had evacuated in time when the monster attacked, he probably wouldn't have been caught by these kidnappers from another world.
To say that I don’t regret it would be a lie...
The captain of the guard, who was completely unaware of the thoughts of the girl next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly and cast his gaze into the depths of the forest. The slight sound of the pursuers running through the trees echoed in the silent forest, and when it reached his ears, it was like that
distinct.
The guards who were in ambush clenched their swords in their hands. The man who was ambushing in the tree also put his arrow on the string. The guard who could blind people was also ready to cast the spell.
"Get up - how can you sleep - get up - how can you sleep at your age and at this stage -"
A middle-aged man's serious voice suddenly sounded in the forest, causing the guards who did not know the meaning of these words to look at each other. Only when Shi Junjun heard this voice, he thought of the wake-up alarm that he had forgotten to turn off, and couldn't help but think.
The urge to cover your face.
Wait, this voice sounded in the forest, which means that my mobile phone is not in the drawstring bag...
Fernando, who had the best archery skills among the Lord's Guards of Nanlisifus, stared at the trees in front of him that were constantly trembling slightly. He slowly and silently opened his bow, then released his fingers, and the arrow came out from the string, shooting straight in that direction.
.
A somewhat sharp exclamation sounded in the forest, and the guards of Lord Nanlisifus's guard began to engage in battle with the young green-skinned dwarves of the forest goblin village.
Finding that they could not hide their whereabouts, the goblins appeared from all directions, raising their weapons while shouting sharply to attack the guards who were shocked beyond measure by this scene.
Are they hallucinating? The goblins who had almost massacred the village to a river of blood before actually launched an attack on humans like them?!
"Calm down, it's just Goblin, show your courage and martial arts." The guard captain holding a long sword in both hands shouted loudly, and took half a step back to avoid the stabbing attack of a Goblin.
The green-skinned dwarves, who had an absolute numerical advantage, swarmed forward and fought with the guards on the ground in a five-on-one or even six-on-one manner. The anger of their homes being destroyed and the loss of their loved ones drove them to wave the simple weapons in their hands.
In an instant, two guards who were at a loss were injured.
The two archers who were ambushed by the guard chief in the trees shot a few arrows, but found that it was extremely difficult to aim at the Goblins who were fighting in close combat with their companions, and there was a risk of accidentally injuring their companions, so they dropped their bows and arrows.
, pulled out the short knife he carried with him, jumped down from the tree, and joined in the melee.
After the initial chaos, the guards of Lord Nanlisifus's guard stabilized their position. They formed a circle back to back and pointed their weapons outwards, thus being able to defend against attacks from all angles.
Even though almost everyone among them was injured, their vital parts were protected by light armor, so their combat effectiveness would not be greatly affected until the wounds lost too much blood.
The stone weapons used by the goblins were difficult to cause fatal damage to them. The goblins who surrounded these guards obviously had no good solution. They could only pin their hopes on the remaining companions' actions to be relatively smooth.
.
Broccoli gasped and glanced at the dagger in his hand that had two notches cut out of it. This weapon, which was seized from Viscount Robinette last time, was gorgeously decorated and well-made. It shouldn't be so fragile.
He's probably just like that human noble, a guy with nothing but appearances...
The encirclement he was in included eleven goblins, including Broccoli, and there was only one person surrounded by them. As long as he was killed, Master Shi Junjun could be rescued.
This should have been a battle in which the outcome was immediately clear.
But the person surrounded by the goblins was Guard Captain Reinhardt.
Back then, he defeated eleven swordsmen in the royal capital...
Reinhardt.
The originally heavy two-handed sword seemed as light as nothing in his hands. Even the attacks launched by the goblins almost at the same time were unable to break through the sword's defense.
If Viscount Robinette hadn't been captured by Master Shi Junjun that day, Broccoli couldn't imagine how they would have dealt with the guard captain alone.
But this was not the time to think about this. Broccoli caught a glimpse of the surrounded guards on the battlefield nearby, and there was a faint momentum of counterattack. Two of the goblins surrounding them had already been seriously injured.
If this drags on any longer, more companions will die here...
The green-skinned dwarf's eyes gradually became firmer. This chapter has been completed!
