As if to match the words of Nalant and Boris, at this moment, a low and emotionless voice came from behind them.
"Ah, look, what is that?"
"That...that's the Death Knight!"
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.
In addition to being filled with the aura of death, a strange green glow can be seen in the gaps in the armor.
Especially in the eyes under the helmet, the green light is constantly blowing out in the wind like smoke!
"Holy shit, this is the Death Knight!" Even though Nalant had seen this 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 also screamed, his face like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"If you don't run away yet, look at Quint himself running away!" Nalant knew that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately shouted at the guard blocking the way in front of him.
"Run! Lord Quint has run away!"
"Run quickly!"
Only then did the guards react.
When they looked at where Quint was, sure enough, there was still Quint there. Quint had already ridden ten meters away on his horse.
"Run quickly, return to the castle!" Only then did Quint's guard hear his lord's trembling voice.
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 appearing, he no longer had time to worry about the safety of his territory. The most important thing now was his own safety.
Suddenly, the Quint guards began to run around crying, and many people fled towards the forests on both sides in a panic, feeling that it would be safer if they were covered by trees.
"Quick, run over and overtake them!" Seeing that there was finally a gap on the road ahead, Nalant immediately urged his subordinates.
After all, those with two legs could not outrun four. They had to run in front of Quint's guards to avoid the fate of being overtaken.
With the urging, the guards gritted their teeth and ran faster.
More than ten seconds later, 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 just run into the forest to hide, and now he ran out screaming for some unknown reason.
However, when he came to the road, he happened to bump into the death knight who was speeding towards him.
The long sword in the death knight's hand just pierced 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 hell dogs chased them out from behind.
Puff puff!
The Death Knight and the Headless Horseman appeared in front of them. 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, Narant led the team to escape. Thanks to the training during the day, he and Boris's men did not fall behind or get separated during the escape.
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 them.
He and Nalant had horses so they could escape, but the problem was that their men couldn't run very far.
"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, worried that he would definitely be questioned by the Black Iron Earl afterwards.
Now that he has to follow Quint all the way deep into Quint's territory, the hatred will become 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.
And 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!"
Nalant rolled his eyes. If it hadn't been for this characteristic, he wouldn't have allowed the dark creature to regain its strength.
"Then... let's go!" Once again, I would rather die than 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, and a third-level death knight rarely appeared among this group of dark creatures...
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 Baiyan was in a state of chaos. After hearing the noise in the village, the residents also learned about the invasion of dark creatures and began to flee for their lives.
"Let's go and rest on the gentle slope over there. Since those dark creatures are near the castle, their priority target must be Quint's castle!"
At this time, Narant could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Most of his plan for tonight had been successfully completed without any mistakes.
If he wants to make Quint pay the price, Narant can't do it himself at present, because Quint has a count father.
But now it is a dark creature that has done something. Even if it is caused by Nalant, there are many excuses to shirk it. On the surface, the responsibility that will be suffered is much smaller.
