It happened very suddenly, even though Arthur had actually long been aware of the hostility hidden in the darkness.
The arrow just now was not aimed at Arthur, so Arthur couldn't detect the arrow's trajectory even with his mental skills. However, another arrow was shot from the darkness, and its trajectory was evenly directed toward
Arthur was shot at the heart. Arthur felt that he had been underestimated and was a little angry, so he immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and used the edgeless iron sword to chop away the incoming iron arrows with one blow.
Boom! The moment the sword edge collided with the iron arrow, many people in the caravan must have been surprised. They didn't expect that the blond boy they had always looked down on could be so skilled------in this world
, it is very difficult to use weapons to chop away the projectiles coming towards you.
However, Arthur was also a little surprised, because when he swung his sword, he clearly intended to split the incoming iron arrow into two, but he did not expect that the trajectory of the iron arrow deviated slightly from what he predicted, causing the blade to break.
When it collided with the arrow, the iron arrow just bounced away diagonally!
Arthur was already a master of mind-sighting skills, and there was no way he could have made such a stupid mistake! However, he suddenly remembered Merlin's previous description: The photon concentration in this world's environment is higher than that in their original world.
Thin!
That's right, precisely because the photon concentration has become thinner, the spells in this world are much weaker than the spells in Arthur's original world, and even Arthur's mind-sighting skills are deviating!
If it weren't for Arthur's good luck, the slightest deviation just now might have directly caused him to raise his sword and swing it empty! And if he hadn't bounced the iron arrow away, the arrow might have penetrated directly into Arthur's heart.
It's gone----------It's so scary to think about it, Arthur can't help but break into a cold sweat when he thinks about it!
However, practice brings true knowledge, and if he understands that using the mind's eye technique in this world will lead to deviations, Arthur will know how to deal with it next!
Swish swish! When the enemy saw Arthur deflecting the arrow with his sword, they instantly realized that Arthur was the most difficult guy in the team to deal with. So they chased Arthur and fired several cold arrows from all directions.
Arthur cums!
"Don't be too proud!!" Arthur walked lightly and carefully avoided those arrows. Although the trajectory predicted by the mind's eye skill had deviations, the deviations were generally not large, so Arthur could easily avoid them by dodging.
Open------as long as he doesn't die and use his sword to block the arrow, nothing will happen!
However, how could he have been suppressed by his opponent and not fight back at all! But while he avoided the last arrow, he immediately reached out and grabbed the iron arrow that passed by him, used it as a weapon, and shot towards
Throw it out into the dark corners of the forest!
"Wow!" A scream from the enemy came from the shadow. The guy had just fired an arrow. He didn't expect Arthur to make such a quick counterattack, so he was hit by the iron arrow before he could even move.
head!
"There are nine of them in total!" Arthur shouted: "Oh no, there are eight now! Search them out and kill them all!"
Hearing what Arthur said, the group of mercenaries also recovered from their stunned state and began to fight back. The shooting just now had exposed the location of the ambusher. The mercenaries followed the direction of the wind where the arrow was shot, and it was not
A particularly big problem. Of course, the group of enemies knew that their ambush position had been exposed and began to move. In an instant, the sound of footsteps began to fill the forest.
Whoosh! Another cold arrow came. Of course, this arrow was not aimed at Arthur, but at the caravan's carriage. But Arthur had already been deployed beside the carriage, so how could he let his opponent succeed?
He raised his sword and rushed forward, knocking away the cold arrows with one strike!
The arrow sprayed a small amount of oil, and sparks from the oil splashed everywhere.
"Be careful, they plan to attack with fire!" Arthur shouted. The arrow he shot just now was soaked in oil, but it was not actually ignited. The enemy probably planned to use the oil-filled arrows to turn the carriage into a
Inflammable items should be ignited in one breath later. In this way, as long as the carriage is ignited by a small spark, the entire carriage and its cargo will be lost!
However, Arthur suddenly realized a very strange detail. If the opponent wanted to rob the goods transported by the caravan, they would definitely not be willing to set fire to it, right?
So, the enemy's purpose in attacking the caravan was not to seize the goods, but to destroy the goods?!
More arrows were shot from the darkness. Arthur had to give up thinking about the details and rush to block with his sword. It has been a month since he came to this world, and Arthur has gradually become accustomed to the movements of this young boy's body.
And after unremitting physical training, his movements have become very agile. He easily deflected several flying arrows, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to question the people in the caravan: "This
What kind of goods are contained in the carriage?! Why do those thieves want to set it on fire?!"
"This is not something you need to meddle with." The leader of the caravan retorted coldly.
"Okay!" At the same time, there was the sound of an iron arrow piercing the air. Arthur rushed over again and raised his sword to deflect another iron arrow. However, even if he blocked it actively, a lot of oil still spilled.
On the outer shell of the carriage, the carriage is becoming more and more flammable. It is estimated that a small spark will cause it to burn violently before long!
"I can ignore it, then you just wait until the carriage is burned to ashes!" the young man threatened.
"Or we can leave you mercenaries behind and run away directly!" The people in the caravan replied brazenly, waving their whips and driving the horses. However, they were naive. The horses in the caravan were not war horses after all.
When the team was attacked, the horses were so frightened that they lost their souls. Even though they were constantly being driven by whips, they could only stay in place and did not dare to run around.
"Humph." Arthur forced out a contemptuous sneer.
"Okay, okay! You win!" The leader of the caravan said angrily: "The carriage is too dangerous. Let the saint come out and let this little brother be responsible for protecting the safety of the saint."
"Saint?" The young man couldn't help but murmured in his heart.
The people in the caravan had already opened the door of the carriage and let the things hidden in the car get out of the carriage. The caravan carriage was not transporting any goods this time, but a person. To be more precise, it was a very well-dressed man.
A simple farm girl.
"Is it you...?" When Arthur saw the girl, he was immediately confused.
"It's you...!" When the girl saw Arthur, she was also stunned. She was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She stared at Arthur for a long time before speaking: "Micah------"
"Shh!" Arthur instantly avoided the obstruction of the group of businessmen, rushed to the girl and covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense here!"
The girl looked at Arthur in horror, and after a few seconds, she nodded vigorously, indicating that she would cooperate with Arthur's actions.
Seeing Arthur suddenly rushing to the side of their "saint", the group of businessmen were also shocked. However, Arthur immediately let go of his hand covering the girl's mouth, indicating that there was no harm. The girl also turned around
And explained to the group of businessmen: "He...he can be trusted."
"Is this someone you know, Lady Saint?" the leader of the caravan asked.
The girl nodded vigorously again.
At the same time, another arrow was shot towards Arthur, and this time it was a ignited rocket. Of course Arthur did not slack off, and instantly raised his sword to block it. The sword blade collided with the iron arrow, and the arrow jumped instantly.
It's open.
However, during the collision, the ignited grease on the arrow shot out a spark, which still landed on the carriage!
Boom! The carriage, which was originally made of wood and had been doused with oil, was instantly ignited without any suspense.
"Hmph..." The heat of the flames rushed towards Arthur's face. The boy subconsciously pulled the girl away to keep her away from danger. The group of businessmen also fled in fright, desperate.
"Hey, don't run! You'll die!" Arthur warned. However, his warning came too late. The group of businessmen who fled into the forest in panic had already become the targets of the enemy's sneak attacks one by one, and they were running away one after another.
Hit by an arrow, he fell down screaming and was swallowed up by the dark and ruthless shadows of the trees.
"Damn!" Arthur then shouted: "Protect the cargo!!"
He expected that the group of mercenaries would respond to him and run back to support him. However, he overestimated the strength of the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The mercenaries who ran into the forest to attack the enemy were actually killed by the thieves in the forest.
None of them came back alive!
"Lord Michael------" The girl hid behind Arthur in fear, at a loss.
"Follow me, we're going to break out from here!" Arthur held his sword in a sprinting posture. The situation was extremely bad, it was like a repetition of history a month ago. If Arthur was the only one on the battlefield, he would have to
It is actually very easy to escape and even kill most of the enemies. However, there is a girl behind him who needs to be protected------a girl who has not received any formal combat training---she is simply a
burden.
However, it is not the behavior of a man to leave a girl alone and run away. Arthur can only bite the bullet!
"Give up!" Unexpectedly, Arthur had just taken a step to find that the enemies had already walked out of the forest and hurriedly surrounded him and the girl.
This time, Arthur miscalculated the number of enemies - there were far more than eight enemies! There were twenty thieves who formed this encirclement! Except for the eight people who were first noticed by Arthur
, the others were ambushing extremely cleverly, almost blending into the woods, and could not detect the slightest sound at all. No wonder the group of mercenaries disappeared immediately after rushing into the woods. It turned out that they were secretly killed by the enemies!
In the original world, the strong King Arthur could easily break through the encirclement of twenty people. However, in this world nine hundred years later, he is just a weak young man.
No matter how physically strong he is, it's impossible to break through alive! What's more, he has a girl with him!
The situation of the battle took a turn for the worse, and in an instant it reached a point where Arthur could not reverse it by himself!
What to do? He can only use his last resort.
Arthur took a deep breath and stretched out his left hand to grab the blade of his edgeless iron sword.
