In the eyes of most soldiers in the Holy City, Gawain, who has the "Nightless" blessing, is invincible during the day.
Except for the Lion King, who was so powerful that it could not be described in words, they had never seen anyone who could defeat Gawain under the sunlight.
Strictly speaking, there is no real winner between Lu Xiao and Gao Wen.
But anyone with a little discernment can see that in the previous battle between the two, the unknown hooded man had the upper hand.
Gawain's fighting skills are typical of Western European knights, with concise moves and wide open ranges. He often relies on physical fitness to overwhelm the enemy.
Lu Xiao's superb martial arts is a bit different from Lancelot, who also uses Western European knight swordsmanship but is more proficient in martial arts.
Lancelot brought the knight's swordsmanship to the extreme, but Gawain, who had the same style, could at least see some clues from his moves.
However, when faced with Lu Xiao, who was using exquisite oriental moves, Gao Wen, who was not professional enough to match his skills, was really blinded. Just like the stupid king who met Sasaki Kojiro for the first time, he was suppressed by the smooth and flowing Tai Sword moves and was unable to fight back.
However, Gawain, who has the eternal blessing, is after all one of the most capable members of the Knights of the Round Table, and it was not in vain that he suffered a long time of beatings at the hands of Lu Xiao.
After a period of adaptation, he had a general understanding of Lu Xiao's fighting style and moves.
'Next time we meet, I will definitely be the winner!'
Gawain, who was burdened with a heavy responsibility, temporarily suppressed his competitive spirit, collected his emotions, and then strode back to the Holy City of Camelot.
The task entrusted to him by the Lion King failed to be completed satisfactorily, and Gawain was mentally prepared for the punishment from the King.
In the worst case scenario, he might be executed by The Lion King.
…
When Gawain entered the royal court with the worst plan to accept punishment, Lu Xiao carried the unconscious Bedivere on his back to join Da Vinci and the others.
A large number of panicked refugees fled into the wilderness to the west of the Holy City under the guidance of the Chaldean group.
We haven't seen a large number of pursuing knights in a short period of time, but you can guess with your buttocks that the knights of the Round Table will definitely not sit back and watch the refugees simply escape.
The group of refugees, numbering in the thousands, gradually became separated while fleeing. It was impossible for the three people from Chaldea alone to restrain such a huge group.
In the end, there were less than a hundred refugees who followed Fujimaru Ritsuka and others. These people were relatively discerning and knew that Fujimaru, Lu Xiao and others were their biggest reliance on escaping capture.
Da Vinci kept looking at Lu Xiao with strange eyes during the evacuation.
Feeling very uncomfortable being looked at by Da Vinci, Lu Xiao couldn't help but ask directly.
"Leonardo, why do you keep looking at me?"
Da Vinci's face was full of scrutiny: "Are you sure you are an assassin and not a saber? I can't believe that an assassin can defeat Gawain, who has three times the basic strength during the day, with swordsmanship."
When this topic came up, Matthew immediately became interested.
"Yes, Mr. Assassin is so powerful. In the legend of Camelot, Gawain has an undefeated record during the day. Both Mohot and Lancelot can only adopt a defensive war of attrition and delay the time until the sun goes down.
Defeat him."
Lu Xiao did not lose herself under Ma Xiu's praise. The simple little eggplant never hesitated to praise others.
"Actually, I didn't win. I just used Gawain's lack of understanding of Eastern swordsmanship to temporarily suppress him. The next time we fight, it won't be so easy."
Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka also planned to join Rainbow Fart's team, Lu Xiao immediately changed the topic.
"Let's not talk about this for now. The question now is where should we take this group of refugees to seek refuge."
To the west of the Holy City is a vast wilderness plain, which is very suitable for cavalry charges. Once they are overtaken by the solemn knights on horseback, the refugees sheltered by Chaldea will become living targets in the wilderness.
Da Vinci suddenly remembered something at this time: "By the way, didn't you contact the mountain people before? What was the specific situation? Did you convince them to form an alliance with Chaldea?"
Lu Xiao shook her head and said: "I have only initially won the trust of one of them, Hassan, but she said that she needs to see more practical actions from us before making a decision."
"And the handsome Hassan I know is guarding the West Village. With this group of slow-moving refugees, it will take at least 5 days to reach the western part of the mountain. I don't think the Knights of the Round Table will let us take it easy during this time.
On the way."
"Um……"
Da Vinci frowned: "Are there other mountain people villages nearby? It would be best to persuade them to accept this group of refugees."
Lu Xiao spread her hands helplessly: "There should be, but I don't know the specific location of the village."
According to the original plot of the Sixth Singularity, Lu Xiao knew that there was an East Village in the east of the rolling mountains, but in the vast mountainous area, it was difficult to find a small village that was deliberately hidden.
Lu Xiao could not find any trace of Dongzhi Village before when he rode a giant eagle flying across the sky. You can imagine how hidden the village is.
Just as the three Chaldeans were worrying about their next destination, the young woman who had been rescued by Lu Xiao from Gawain's sword suddenly raised her hand and interrupted.
"Benefactor, can you listen to me?"
Lu Xiao nodded cheerfully and said, "Of course, Madam, please speak."
This young woman with her face covered with a veil also brought a little boy about five years old. At this time, the little boy had fallen asleep in his mother's arms.
Carefully handing her son over to the care of the refugee beside her, the young woman moved lightly to Lu Xiao and others.
"Several benefactors, as far as I know, there is a mountain people village nearby, and among the refugees following us there are people who broke away from that village."
Just as Lu Xiao had learned from Bai Mang before, the food supply in the village of the Mountain People was seriously insufficient, and some hungry villagers voluntarily left the village.
On the one hand, it is to save food for the remaining people in the village, and on the other hand, it is also to try their luck in the Holy City. If they are lucky enough to pass the Holy Ba test, they will no longer have to worry about their future life.
This young woman named Salia was one of the three people chosen among the saints, but her son Rushed was not so lucky.
Salia was unwilling to leave her son behind and enter the Holy City to enjoy the blessings alone. She repeatedly begged to no avail and was almost accidentally killed by Gawain who was planning to kill Rushed.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao rushed out at this moment and prevented Gawain from further actions by surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, and narrowly saved the lives of mother and son.
With Shalia's introduction, Lu Xiao and others found the refugee from Dongzhi Village.
The weather-beaten Middle Eastern man had a bitter smile on his face: "Now that things have happened, I should have returned to the East Village shamelessly, but other refugees should not suffer together because of my personal persistence."
"I will point out the route to the East Village for you, but whether the manager of the East Village is willing to accept it...that is not something I can decide."
Lu Xiao subconsciously rubbed his chin: "Let's go and give it a try. Maybe the other party will reward me for saving Baimei Hassan."
Although Da Vinci was completing various co-ordination work and making suggestions most of the time along the way, it was Master Fujimaru Ritsuka who made the final decisions in Chaldea at the Singularity.
After thinking about it, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to adopt Lu Xiao's suggestion.
"Then let's set off. I hope Hassan in the East Village can accept us, at least accept this batch of difficulties..."
"It's not good!"
Before Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking, panicked shouts suddenly came from behind the refugee group.
"Knight! The solemn knight is catching up!"
"So fast?"
Lu Xiao immediately jumped onto the hill next to him. Even without opening the Eagle Eyes, he could clearly see the dust stirred up by the galloping horses behind him.
As the cavalry team approached, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the "rumbling" sound of the cavalry charge caused many refugees to scream in terror.
"There is no time to hesitate, Leonardo, Fujimaru, you take Bedivere and the refugees towards the East Village first, and I will help you buy some time."
After handing Bedivere on his back to Matthew for support, Lu Xiao placed his hands on the desolate ground and took a deep breath.
"rise!"
A large earthen wall suddenly appeared in front of the cavalry charge route. The frightened and solemn knights hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped. The originally uniform cavalry suddenly became a mess.
