GOR Chapter 466 Forest of Terror
"Argh!"
Princess Louise, who was following behind, suddenly cried out in pain. Hussain turned around and frowned. "What is it?"
There was a look of pain on Princess Louise's beautiful face. However, she had already dropped the tree branch and her walking stick. She crouched down to cover her left foot.
Hussain followed her movements and saw that the princess's left foot was bare. It was unknown when she had lost her left shoe. After walking for a while, her originally white and delicate foot was now covered in black mud. Additionally, he could see traces of blood through the gaps between her fingers.
Hussain sighed. He took two steps back and crouched down as well. Then, he reached out with his hand. Ignoring the blushing face of the princess, he unquestionably separated her hands and placed the princess down. Next, he held up her left foot.
With her left foot in his hand, the princess's rate of breathing quickened. Her face turned red and her eyes darted about. Her heart raced.
"It's all right. It was just pricked by something." Hussain knitted his brows as he thought about it. Then, he quickly took off his leather boots and tossed them to the princess. "Wear my shoes."
"You … … what about you?"
Hossein said indifferently, "My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. It's okay to be barefoot. Back then, when I was chased by the people of the Temple to the Frozen Forest in the north, I had to walk barefoot for days in the snow and ice."
Heavens!
Princess Louise's face immediately changed. "Then … … to walk barefoot for days on end in a world of ice and snow, are you not afraid of freezing your feet?"
"I am very lucky." Hussain was silent for a moment. His voice was lifeless and filled with callousness. "On the fourth day, two Paladin caught up to me."
The princess was at a loss. "I don't understand …"
"I killed them and took off the boots of one of the dead men!" Hussain's last sentence made the princess quiver. Looking at the man in front of her who was almost covered in wounds, she saw a strange look flash across Hussain's eyes. It was filled with an indescribable deep pain!
The princess suddenly realized that even though he was heavily injured, his back was still straight when he stood up! There wasn't the slightest sign of bending! It was like a javelin that would never bend!
Strong! Absolutely unyielding! He would rather break than bend!
Gradually, what made the princess dazed was that the figure of this seemingly indifferent fellow in front of her seemed to gradually overlap with the figure of that stubborn young man on the square on the day of the coup d 'état.
The only difference was that the young man's thin figure was becoming blurry bit by bit …
"Hurry up, we don't have much time."
Hussain's words awakened the princess from her daze.
Looking at Paladin who had turned around indifferently, Louise did not hesitate. She picked up Hussain's boots and put them on.
It was simply unimaginable … under normal circumstances, with her status as a princess, how could she wear a stinky man's boots? However, at this moment, Princess Louise felt as though she could not even muster up the slightest thought of refusing!
Hussain's boots were much bigger for the princess. However, she still quickened her pace and followed closely behind Hussain.
A man and a woman walked for a long time in the forest. After a while, Louise suddenly asked timidly from behind. "Hou … Knight Hussain."
Hussain suddenly turned around and looked coldly at the princess. His tone was somewhat stiff as he interrupted the princess. "Your Highness, please call me by my name. Because now … I am no longer Knight! "
Louise was intimidated by Hussain's stiff gaze and became even more timid. She hesitated for a moment before finally saying in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness Hussain. Can I ask you a question?"
Hossein did not say anything and continued walking forward. He only let out a "humph".
The princess mustered up her courage and finally raised her voice. "What I want to ask is, actually … many years ago, when I was still a little girl, I often heard of your name. At that time, everyone in the Imperial Capital was singing praises of your genius deeds … I used to admire Knight like you. But why, why would you … "
Hussain stopped again. Louise could see that Hussain's back seemed to be somewhat stiff. This time, Paladin did not turn around. He only said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, do all women have such a strong curiosity?"
"Ah, no …" The princess was somewhat nervous and said in a low voice, "It's just that I used to be your admirer, so …"
"That's my own business." Hussain's reply was just like his person, hard and cold.
Louise sighed. She could feel that this man's heart was as cold as a rock.
Just as the princess took a deep breath and was about to say something else, Hussain who was walking in front suddenly stopped. He raised his hand and gestured for her to be silent!
Then, Hussain took a few steps back and pulled Princess Louise to hide behind a big tree at the side!
About 50 meters in front of them, they could vaguely see that it was the end of the forest.
The trees here had already become somewhat sparse. As long as they left this forest, they would arrive at the vast open and flat wilderness in the northwest! It was a flat stretch of land without any hidden terrain.
But just outside this forest, they could hear the clamor of people!
"Be careful!"
The heavy and serious voice fell into Hussain's ears and his pupils immediately contracted!
Rose! It's Rose!
•
Outside the forest, Rose was riding on his horse as he solemnly observed his subordinates working intensely.
Beside the forest, over a hundred people were working hard to dig out a large hole in the ground. At this moment, the hole was filled with corpses and Rose was directing his men to fill up the hole. Shovel after shovel of soil was thrown in and the corpses were quickly covered up.
"Be careful, don't leave any traces!" Rose's serious voice rang out.
Hussain pulled Princess Louise to hide behind a big tree in the forest. Looking at the other party, he immediately understood what they were doing!
Clearly, the other party must have gone back last night to take away all the corpses left behind by the Shrines! They did not even leave behind the corpses. Clearly, they did not want to leave any evidence behind!
At this moment, Paladin, who had died in the battle last night, was gradually being buried along with their weapons and armour.
After doing all this, Rose's face was grim. He ordered all his subordinates to dismount and stand in a circle around the large hole. Everyone took off their helmets and held them in their arms. Their swords were placed in front of them. Everyone lowered their heads and mumbled to themselves.
Every Holy Knight's expression was extremely sincere and serious. Listening to the content of their words, Princess Louise could only hear a trace of stifling bitterness and seriousness. Every Knight had an indifferent expression …
But Hussain's expression was somewhat strange when he heard it. Finally, when the group of Paladin finished, Hussain sighed softly: "This is a ritual used by the Paladin to mourn the death of the Knight … Hmph, this thing of faith really kills without spilling blood!"
After the ritual, Rose nodded and personally shovelled the last shovel of soil. Then with a wave of his hand, dozens of people went over and flattened the ground.
In this way, it would not be easy to find any traces of human activity in the originally desolate wilderness. Unless one knew the location, it would be extremely difficult to find.
Behind Rochet, there were actually seven or eight large carriages. Rochet gave the order: "All of you, get one! Take off your armor! "
With the order, all the Knight immediately lined up and began to take off their armor. Then, one by one, they neatly loaded the armor onto the carriages.
When Hussein saw this, his heart skipped a beat as he understood something.
•
Desa Province was the territory of the Tulip Family. Although it could not be said to be heavily guarded, there were at least checkpoints in several towns. Normally, it would be impossible to let a large group of nearly a thousand cavalry enter their territory!
Now it seems that these guys used this method to sneak into Desa Province. Thousands of people were scattered into countless small groups. Everyone did not carry any weapons or armor. But there was another large group of carriages disguised as a caravan to transport weapons and armor into Desa Province. Then, they would arm themselves at the ambush site …
Sure enough, just as Hussain was guessing, Rose had already divided his men into more than a dozen small groups.
Originally, Hussain was prepared to wait here until Rose and the others left before quietly leaving.
But unexpectedly, Rose just waved his hand and had three groups of people dress up as ordinary caravans. They escorted seven or eight large carriages loaded with weapons and armor and left first. The rest of the troops rested on the spot.
Afterward, Rose gave two orders: "Send two groups of people into the forest to look for water! Be careful! "
•
Seeing the dozens of enemies dismount and walk into the forest, they spread out and searched for his hiding place. Hussain's brows wrinkled.
If it was during normal times, how could he pay attention to this group of ordinary Knight? Not to mention a few hundred people, even if it were a few thousand people, with the strength of a Saint, he would not put them in his eyes.
But now, he was just barely suppressing his injuries. Moreover, once he started fighting, what if the Angel Sphinx was attracted by the commotion...
The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer. Seeing that the enemies at the front were less than ten meters away from their hiding place, Hossein's gaze quickly pierced through the forest. Beyond the forest was a vast expanse of flat land without any obstructions. He could see as far as a thousand li.
At this moment, there were only two paths in front of Hussain: First, quietly retreat into the forest to hide.
But the problem was that these guys were resting outside the forest and would not leave for a while... If he were to hide from the Sphinx now, who knows when the Angel would come looking for him... Moreover, what if these guys were here specifically to wait for the Sphinx to come? Then continuing to hide in the forest was not a good idea.
As for sneaking around from the other side of the forest … Hossein had considered that as well. However, the forest was only so big. Additionally, beyond the forest was an endless expanse of wilderness. His line of sight would not be obstructed at all. No matter how far he ran, the other side would be able to see him with a casual glance!
Hide, there was no way to hide!
Steeling his heart, Hussain took a deep breath, leaned close to the princess's ear, and said in a deep voice, "Later, don't shout or panic, just follow me!"
Louise's face was already pale when she saw that those guys were searching for them. When she heard Hussain's voice, although his voice was still cold, her heart suddenly calmed down, as if she had something to rely on.
Unknowingly, her hand had already grabbed the corner of Hussain's clothes, tightly gripping it...
•
Paladin, who was walking at the front, was pulling out his long sword to push aside the grass when he suddenly shouted, "I found a water source, there seems to be a stream in front!!"
As his voice rang out, the others immediately revealed looks of joy, and they all began to rush over.
Suddenly, the Knight felt a blur in front of him, as if he saw a flash of light in front of him. But before he could make a sound, a tree branch had directly pierced his throat!
Retracting the tree branch at lightning speed, the Knight's throat was punctured with blood!!
Hussain held the tree branch that was used as a crutch in his hand, shouted, and quickly rushed out with the princess!
