Chapter 23 Horse Bandits

Three days later, a group of riders riding horses and wearing hoods and cloaks came to Jackdaw Town. They were all covered in cloaks, and even their faces could not be seen clearly. Only their hands stretched out to hold the reins.

You can see the green carved wristbands.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by the Yingtun soldiers who had not yet evacuated and acted as temporary guards.

"We are traveling merchants from the Hinterlands, here to visit Bishop Doroda Munro." The leading rider took off his hood, revealing mid-length dark hair and pointed ears.

The Shadowtun soldiers recognized their identities and remembered the knight captain's instructions.

"Come with me, the Knight Commander is already waiting for you." He turned around and started to lead the way.

The leading elf frowned, realizing that things were not simple. But he could only put on his hood again, dismounted, and followed the soldiers leading the way. They came to the church without any hindrance. The leading elf looked at the wet blood on the street.

The frown deepened.

"We're here, the Knight Commander is inside." The soldier guided the elves to the room where Laxus was and then left.

Pushing open the door, the leading elf's pupils suddenly tightened when he saw Laxus sitting on the chair and the two swords placed on the table in front of him.

"Here you are, I am Laxus, the leader of the Shadow Fort Knights, and a disciple of Teacher Doroda Munro."

"Where's Doroda Munro, what's going on here?"

"A few days ago, the infiltrated Moran troops attacked here. You all know the reason. The teacher died in the battle that day."

After a moment of silence, the leading elf said:

"I am Thesma Phantom Feather, captain of the third detachment of the Hinterlands Royal Guard. I have been ordered by the queen to retrieve the princess. The queen has already executed the traitor. You are Doroda Munro's apprentice. You must know the princess's identity.

Where to go.”

"After Doroda Munro noticed Moran's conspiracy, he asked Daisy to sneak into Belica's caravan and go to the Hinterlands. It has been setting out for several days, and now I am afraid that it has entered the Vezan Plains. There is also a group of people accompanying it.

A team of mercenaries, I don’t know where they came from, but they should be trustworthy by Doroda Munro. If you are fast, you might be able to catch up, but there are some guys from Moran who are also chasing them."

"I understand. Since Doroda Munro is dead, I will take his weapons back and give them to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Laxus nodded and handed the two swords on the table to Sesma. Sesma took the two swords, turned and walked out of the church without stopping. They must catch up with Belica's caravan as soon as possible.

Riding horses, they ran out of the town and passed by the cemetery outside the town. The team stopped for a while to look at the cemetery where Doroda Munro was buried, and then continued on.

At this time, Ronan and his party were camping on the Weizan Plain for a lunch break. Belica would invite Ronan to have dinner together every day, and he would bump into Daisy every time. Ronan and Daisy gradually became familiar with each other. Watching.

With Daisy's pure smile, Ronan's empty heart seemed to be filled a little bit when he came into this world.

Since coming to this world, Ronan has never known what he was going to do. At first, he was just being hunted. After initially gaining strength and a team, he planned to settle down in Jackdaw Town, but fate made him leave Jackdaw Town again.

Go to the Hinterlands. Others who come to this world with a system may want to conquer the world.

If you want to live like a king, have wives and concubines, you may also want to travel around the world, explore everywhere, and enjoy a free life. But Ronan has never had a clear goal. He just passively accepts it. Whenever he wants to stop,

Accidents always happen when he is in trouble, as if there is an invisible force driving him.

After eating and drinking, the caravan embarked on the journey again, but the danger was approaching. Moran's side was unwilling to fail. They no longer pinned their hopes on Gul'dan's remaining troops, the most ferocious horse bandits active on the borders of various countries, led by "

The Bloodfang Gang led by "Bloodfang" Bellick has secretly entered the Wezan Plains, and they are looking for traces of Ronan and his party.

Bellik was originally a minor nobleman in the Eagle Kingdom. He was defeated in a power struggle and had to flee. He wandered around the borders of various countries with his clansmen, looting villages and ambushing caravans. Bellik and his caravan did all kinds of evil.

, but because they all came to get Rufeng on horseback and had no fixed base, he

They have been wreaking havoc for more than ten years without being wiped out. But what the world doesn't know is that the reason behind their ability to escape pursuit many times and their growing strength is the gang of Archduke Cavour of the Kingdom of Moran. The Blood Fang Group has long become the name of Moran.

The eagle dogs kept by the kingdom bring huge benefits to the Moran Kingdom while weakening the kingdom's competitors.

Gul'dan and his party knew that they could not catch up with the caravan and could not enter the town, so they had to resort to the last resort.

Time passed, and two days passed. The caravan traveled peacefully without encountering any group of bandits or wolves. In another two or three days, the caravan would be able to walk out of the plains and enter the Acorn Hall.

But the reality is often not what people want. Just when they were about to walk out of the plain, there was a sudden vibration on the ground. The experienced guards immediately understood that this was caused by a large number of cavalry running.

"Sir, this person is coming with bad intentions." A Kugit cavalryman ran to Ronan and said.

"Get ready to fight!" Ronan's face darkened. Judging from the feeling caused by the vibration, there were many people on the opposite side, but there should not be such a large number of bandits on the Weizan Plains.

After hearing Ronan's words, the Kugit cavalry immediately began to ride their horses around the camp. Other soldiers who were not good at horse fighting dismounted and drove their horses to the carriage, and then formed a shield and spear with the caravan guards.

They formed a formation, leaning against the carriage to prevent their butts from being stolen. Non-combatants such as Belica and Daisy hid in the carriage at the end of the formation.

Ronan also took off the big sword from his back. His ape-like arms allowed him to easily wield the sword with one hand. Ronan was riding on Carrot with a big sword in one hand and a shield in preparation to meet the enemy. In order to reduce the load, Ronan took off most of Carrot's body.

All the horse armor was left with was the chest protector, and it was too late to put it on at this time.

After a while, a large group of horse bandits appeared in the field of vision of Ronan and others. Their lineup was chaotic. They had spears, short bows, scimitars and everything in their hands, and they only wore tattered leather armor.

and felt hat.

Scattered arrows were shot from the horse bandits, but they were all blocked by the soldiers with their shields, causing no damage. Then the caravan guards and Nord archers counterattacked, shooting many of the horse bandits off their horses.

When the two armies handed over, a sudden wave of people fell on their backs. The horses in the first row were directly pierced by spears and died. The riders on their backs also fell and were trampled to pieces by the horses that followed. However, the soldiers in the first row were also charged by the horses.

The powerful impact caused them to fly backwards. The charge of the horse bandits came to a standstill, and they became entangled with the soldiers on the ground.
