The slow thumping sound of horse hooves echoed on the forest path, and several tall horses moved forward slowly.
A group of cavalry appeared on the road leading to the orc stronghold, led by a beautiful young woman. She wore a thorn helmet on her head and a dark red cloak on her shoulders. She had a strong figure and cold eyes.
Compared to a bunch of unkempt, rough-looking men and women in the Black Forest, this team, although full of dust, was serious and solemn, dressed meticulously, and made no noise while running.
The team had been running all morning, and the walls of the orc stronghold could be seen from a distance. The leading woman suddenly raised her hand, and the team immediately dispersed, bows and crossbows cocked, and they were on high alert.
"Who is where? Come out!" the female knight shouted toward the edge of the woods.
First, there were tiny branches and leaves stirring in the woods, and a cry of "Don't be nervous" came out. Ranger Luke half-hidden in the forest, he and several of his men asked loudly: "Beautiful lady, I want to remind you,
There is a battle going on in the direction of the orc stronghold, so it is best not to go there."
The female knight was dusty. When she heard that there was a battle ahead, she frowned and became more alert. A gray-haired old knight stood beside her and actively shouted: "Luke, I am Nasser. You are not here."
Why are you coming to Schroeder's territory to do what Roofeng is waiting for?"
Luke recognized the identity of the old knight, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the woman leading the team, "The one who can make Knight Nasser follow must be Princess Inisha of the Principality of Os. Your beauty is more touching than the rumors. But I
I still don’t recommend you to move forward.”
The cavalry that appeared on the road were none other than Ynessa and Naser, who had already perished. Only half of the original cavalry of more than a dozen people was left. They were now homeless and could only run back and forth between settlements in the Black Forest, hoping that
We can recruit some manpower.
Over the past half month, the beautiful and dignified Inisha has lost a lot of weight. She has never been so sad and helpless even when imprisoned by the evil dragon. But the more difficult the situation, the stronger this princess becomes.
Although she has no roots and cannot even find a place to stay, what Inisha thinks about is how to strengthen her strength and return to the Principality of Os to restore the rule of the Frederick family - as the God of War priest, she
You must never admit defeat.
Believers of the God of War are always interested in battles. Inisa asked loudly: "What battle happened in the orc stronghold? Who was in dispute with whom?"
"It is our ten-family resistance alliance in the Black Forest that is fighting back against those shameful traitors who surrendered to the goblins!" Ranger Luke said.
who......?
Her Royal Highness the Princess had never heard of the Resistance Alliance. She was thinking wildly. The old knight Naser took the initiative and asked: "Who is your leader?"
"Our ten settlements unanimously elected Victor Hugo as their leader," Luke said.
who......?
Ynessa and Naser thought they had heard wrongly. After they left Razor Cliff, they wandered around like bereaved dogs. After the Goblin Plank Road was blocked, they were also trapped in the Black Forest.
For a month, these exiles from the Principality of Os have never been able to settle down. They have been to the Voodoo Swamp and the White Crow Camp, and they also met the famous 'Master Modi', and even bumped into Zhou Qingfeng and Todd.
.
Zhou Qingfeng and Todd listened to Her Royal Highness the Princess and ran to the Voodoo Swamp to find someone. But Inisa left the next day and didn't even have time to leave an exact message to Zhou Qingfeng. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't do it.
.
The conditions in the Voodoo Swamp were so bad that Inisha could not develop there at all. She asked everywhere for information in the hope of finding a possible place to stay, but she was unsuccessful. But when she wandered around trying to find a possible place to stay, this time she tried to visit the orc stronghold.
Trying my luck, I suddenly learned...
Victor Hugo became the leader of the Human Resistance Alliance!
What the hell kind of title is this?
Luke also knew that the name of his alliance was too bad. He laughed a few times and said: "We don't want to be oppressed by the goblins, so of course we have to resist. We elected Victor Hugo as the leader because of the excellence of Mr. Hugo."
leadership skills.”
Does Victor Hugo still have leadership skills? Are you, the cunning people from the Black Forest, using him as a puppet?
Her Royal Highness the Princess and Knight Nasser were both surprised... and didn't know what to do. In their memories, the young man who dared to challenge the red dragon Aratis was indeed brave and fearless. But his leadership skills seemed
Doesn't quite match him.
Inisa has accomplished nothing recently, so she was even more shocked when she heard the news. She said to Luke: "Your Excellency Hugo once helped me get out of trouble and is my friend. Since he has led this resistance alliance, I naturally want to
Joined."
The order Luke received was not to let anyone get close to the orc stronghold, but he didn't expect that the person who came was a serious princess of a country, an authentic high-ranking noble. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want these people from the Principality of Os.
The remaining soldiers joined the coalition forces.
But Inisa is famous and her attitude is to cooperate, but it is difficult for Luke to intercept her.
Inissa, who was in trouble, had her own considerations. She didn't give Luke any time to think about it. She waved her hand to the knight behind her and decided to rush in directly, "Go forward, since we are here, we can't just sit back and watch. Punish the human traitors."
Everyone is responsible for the matter."
Anyway, the orc stronghold is not far away, so it is easy to rush over.
As soon as the cavalry team left, Luke was helpless in the woods and could only shoot a loud arrow to warn the orcs in the direction of the stronghold. The loud arrow made Inisa a little uneasy, but she became more determined to see what happened?
The horse is galloping, and the dark red cloak is rustling fiercely. The female knight on the horse is as powerful as a rainbow, like a strong wind touching the ground, pulling out an afterimage. She is the God of War priest, with a long sword unsheathed on the horse, gritting her teeth to move forward.
, ready for a fight.
Anyone who dares to stop this cavalry team will surely pay a heavy price.
Just as this team of "horses are like dragons and people are like wind" arrived outside the orc stronghold in a high-speed assault without encountering any obstruction.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, holding a long sword in her hand, worked up all her energy and ran outside the wall of the orc stronghold, only to see a large wave of people pouring out of it - a crushing mass of people, at least hundreds of people. And they were all adventuring with weapons.
who.
"Isn't it about fighting?" Inisa pulled the reins fiercely, and the mount forcibly stopped its attack while neighing. The hundreds of adventurers in front of her were all extremely powerful, and they all screamed and rushed towards the other direction of the stronghold.
No matter how conceited Inisa was, she did not dare to fight against such a wave of enemies. She had to stop, turn her horse's head, and watched in amazement as this wave of people rushed past her.
If he rushes forward, he will be drowned in the blink of an eye.
Think about it again, who are these adventurers going to attack? Who can be the enemy of so many fierce guys? Is there a scarier guy on the other side of the crowd?
The old knight Naser stayed in the Black Forest for a year. After careful inspection, he recognized many people. They were the leaders and backbones of various ministries, as well as their armed attendants. These people ran out of the stronghold, which meant the leaders of this place.
Schroeder is definitely doomed.
But what is going on?
At this moment, a skinny old man came out from behind the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice: "You pay ten to one, you pay ten to one, if you bet on Schroeder, come and place your bet with me. Your Excellency Hugo's combat power is unknown."
, the probability of failure is extremely high, come and take a gamble!"
As soon as the skinny old man shouted, many people came over to surround him and took out a few silver coins to place bets. Most people were attracted by the huge odds of '10 to 1' and bet on Schroeder to win.
The skinny old man cut a piece of wolf skin and recorded it with charcoal. However, after shouting for a long time, he only received a few silver coins from the bet. This amount of money was too little for the betting, and he might lose money.
gamble?
Is such a big battle just for gambling?
Inisha, who was holding the long knife, felt a little discouraged. This situation seemed to be completely different from what she expected. She breathed a sigh of relief, rode up to the skinny old man and asked: "What on earth is going on? Who is talking to Shi Luo?"
German gambling war?"
Uh..., the skinny old man collecting bets didn't recognize the beautiful woman in front of him. He blinked and asked: "Madam, where are you from?"
"I am Inisa from the Principality of Os. You should have heard of my name. I heard that Victor Hugo is here. Can you take me to find him?" Her Royal Highness the Princess was riding on a tall horse, looking down.
The skinny old man only reached her thighs.
When Inisha leaned over slightly, the skinny old man felt that his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the other party. Hearing the name 'Os Principality', he also admired in his heart - who in the black forest didn't know this beautiful woman?
Your Royal Highness, the famous princess!
Only when you see her in person will you know that this princess is even more beautiful than the rumors say.
"Hello, Your Highness." The skinny old man bent down to show his respect and said humbly: "We are holding a grand duel. The winner or loser will determine the ownership of the orc stronghold. The one who is dueling with Schroeder is Victor.
.Sir Hugo."
"Victor Hugo personally participated in the duel?" Inisa was even more surprised, "Isn't he your leader?"
"Yes." The skinny old man nodded and said deliberately vaguely: "This time we raised troops from ten settlements to the orc stronghold. Lord Schroeder has been defeated. But he is not convinced and still wants to follow our leader, Lord Hugo.
A duel determines life or death."
Although Inisha on the horse still didn't understand what happened, she could feel that the atmosphere at the scene was not tense. The gambling scene was not far from her, and the crowd that had just poured out of the stronghold had already filled the open space over there.
Surrounded by people.
It seems like it's really a gambling fight.
"I am friends with Mr. Hugo, please take me there." Inisa said, "Since it is a duel, I want to cheer for him personally."
Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess's active show of kindness, the skinny Rubio felt extremely proud of his master. He led Inisa and the other knights outside the crowd of onlookers.
Everyone else was standing, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was riding on the horse, naturally had a better view and could clearly see the two people standing at the surrounded scene.
One is Schroeder, the tough and powerful orc leader who is over two meters tall and weighs nearly two hundred kilograms.
The other one is inconspicuous, just a young man. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs only over 80 kilograms. There is a huge difference in body shape and he is not at the same level as Schroeder.
Is there still a need for gambling?
Victor Hugo will definitely lose!
The crowd watching at the scene were all talking, and there were many experts among them. They accurately sensed that Zhou Qingfeng's strength was only level one, while Orc Schroeder was level three. There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Many people's hearts beat faster and their eyes shone. After carefully looking at the young people in the field over and over again, many people concluded that Schroeder would definitely win based on their years of fighting experience.
Immediately, a group of people sneaked up to Rubio and asked, "Can I still place bets now?"
"sure."
"I'll bet my next gold coin on Schroeder to win."
"I'll take the next two."
"I want to place a bet too."
"Wait a minute, is it only possible to win by betting on Schroeder? Then whose money do we win?"
The members of the 'Alliance Force' have no faith at all. Seeing that their boss is weak, they all want to make a fortune. It's just that a bunch of people placed bets, but they all stared at Rubio - what the old man said about 'one for ten', he took
What compensation?
Rubio couldn't afford to pay compensation at all, he could only laugh at it.
When the bettors kept asking questions, Inisa threw out a money bag and shouted loudly: "The gems in it should be worth a thousand gold coins. I beat Victor. Hugo will win. A warrior who can challenge the red dragon."
, how could it be possible to lose?”
Has your boss ever challenged a red dragon? Many people's faces instantly turned pale.
