Wood ordered the housekeeper: "Let them walk slower and wait to see if other families come out. Let's all go on the road together."
"yes!"
McGinn, who was next to him, smiled and said: "Master Wood is still thoughtful. Nebula City is a long way away, and there may be dangers on the way. It is safer for everyone to get together."
The two convoys walked slowly, and an hour later, they entered a dark forest.
There was silence nearby, and the dark jungle gave people an inexplicable sense of fear. The knights couldn't help but tighten their weapons.
Wood yawned and dozed off with half-closed eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of swords coming from the front woke him up.
"Enemy attack!"
Wood quickly opened the car curtain and looked outside, only to see dozens of tall figures surrounding them.
The blurry light from the torches could barely make out those figures, which were a group of guys with horns.
"It's a minotaur!" Wood saw through the identity of the visitor and cursed in his heart, "That bastard Chris!"
The ox-headed manpower was immense, and they danced the axes in their hands with great force. Not long after, two or three human knights fell to the ground.
"Stop it!" Wood jumped off the carriage and rushed to the front of the crowd, glaring at the leading tauren, "Chris promised to let us leave safely, do you want to go back on your word?"
"Who is Chris? We don't know him. You damn humans who come to this territory at night and disturb our sleep, please stay here."
The tauren struck the stainless steel ax at Wood.
After all, Wood was also a knight at the peak of the fourth level. He turned slightly sideways to avoid the attack, and at the same time drew out the sword he carried and stabbed the opponent.
The tauren clenched the handle of the ax, stopped suddenly, and swung the ax horizontally, hitting Wood on the chest, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards.
Wood staggered back seven or eight steps and was supported by his own knight. He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face serious.
There were more than twenty minotaurs ambushing them, and each of them had strong fighting capabilities. We were no match for them. If they continued, they would probably be wiped out.
McGinn was trembling with fear. He was just an ordinary person. Half of the six knights employed by his family were lost, which made him very panicked.
McGinn fell to his knees with a pop and said in a trembling voice: "It's my fault. I'm willing to follow you back and swear allegiance to Lord Chris to the death. No, it's His Majesty Chris."
The leader of the tauren lamented: "I'm sorry, Lord Chris gave you a chance, but you don't know how rare it is. Tonight, all of you will stay here forever."
Wood was horrified. Did the "everyone" mentioned by the other party include himself, the Baron?
How dare you take action against the nobles? Chris is an out-and-out lunatic!
The battle continued, and the knights hired by the two families fell one after another, and some were even split in half by axes.
On the other hand, there was no one injured.
Wood was panting heavily, with a penetrating wound on his left shoulder and his arm hanging down weakly.
If I delay it any longer, I will die here.
Wood retreated to the carriage, cut off the rope on a horse with his sword, turned over and rode on it.
He drove his war horse to forcefully break a gap in the tauren's encirclement and fled into the distance.
"Da da da……"
After running for more than ten minutes, the light of the torch behind him became increasingly dim. Wood let out a long sigh of relief. Those clumsy guys shouldn't be chasing after him, right?
Although he didn't carry a single copper plate with him, he was lucky enough to save his life.
Wood decided to go to the nearest city to settle down first, and then spread the news about Chris's attempt to establish a new country.
When the time comes, someone will naturally send troops to deal with him.
It's just a pity that the family property accumulated over generations has been lost.
Thinking of this, Wood's heart ached.
······
After hacking the last human to death, the Minotaur Robin ordered his companions to clean up the battlefield: "Quick, quick, dig a hole and bury all the corpses. Then chop all the carriages into pieces and burn them with fire. Don't leave anything behind."
trace."
"Boss, what should I do with these gold coins in the car? There are two to three thousand of them. It would be a pity to throw them away. You should move them back. They are too conspicuous."
Robin beckoned: "Come here to me."
The tauren carried several small boxes in front of him.
Robin took out a stewardess ring from his pocket. The ring was suitable for humans, and he would never be able to wear it with his physique.
Following the method provided by Lord Chris, he injected fighting energy into the ring, and then faced the boxes of gold coins.
The next moment, all the gold coins were put into the ring.
"Boss, that human has escaped, should we chase him? If he leaks the news, it will definitely cause countless troubles for Mr. Chris."
The corners of Robin's mouth turned up: "Don't worry, someone will intercept him."
······
Suddenly, the horse underneath him stopped, causing Wood to lean forward and almost be thrown out.
"You damn horse, go away!" Wood was very angry and slapped the horse's head hard several times.
But he found that the horse he was riding had its eyes widened and stared in a certain direction, looking very frightened.
"No, there's something weird." Wood's body tensed up and he remained extremely vigilant.
With the help of the faint moonlight, he saw a huge rock in front of him open up and transform into a huge crocodile.
It turned out that the stone looked like a red crocodile coiled up.
Immediately afterwards, a man climbed on the crocodile's back.
Jonathan held a long gun and sneered: "You can't escape."
Without any hesitation, Wood immediately turned his horse's head and ran away. He knew without even thinking that the other party must be Chris's man.
Unfortunately, ordinary war horses were far inferior to the speed of the armored dragon crocodile. Before he could run very far, he was overtaken by Jonathan.
The ferocious crocodile opened its huge mouth and bit Wood.
Wood quickly kicked off his horse and his body was ejected to the side, but his horse was not so lucky, and half of its body was bitten off by the dragon crocodile.
Wood landed steadily, maintaining a fighting posture, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Despair surged in his heart. Without his mount, he would never be able to escape the enemy's pursuit.
This made Wood very puzzled. When did Chris have such a magical beast?
Jonathan urged: "Come on!"
After receiving the order, the armored dragon crocodile accelerated its pace and rushed away.
"Fighting skills, sword light slashing!"
Wood quickly fired a sharp sword light, but the monster did not dodge and faced it directly.
Ha, stupid!
Wood taunted in his heart that that was his strongest attack. As long as he could injure the crocodile, he would have hope of escaping.
