Among the five bandit leaders, the weakest one was a mid-level knight. The rest were all at the peak of the Knight level. There were more than ten guards around them, and all of them were at the knight level.
The sound of hooves clattering against each other could be heard. A group of cavalrymen with gray bandanas on their heads appeared in the direction Angele and the others were heading.
"Don't worry. I'll just shoot a few arrows from afar. We'll catch up in no time. "Angele smiled. "Father, you should go first. I won't fight them head-on. I'll be a smaller target if I go alone. "
Although the baron already knew his son's strength, after all, he was facing an unknown enemy, so he was still very worried.
At this moment, he realized that the so-called knight-level was a powerhouse, and it was a concept only existed in the countryside of Leo Territory.
"We'll be safe then." Hayes nodded. "Let's go."
The baron stared at him. He knew that Angele's archery skills were great in this forest. As long as he hid well, there would be no problem.
Ceylon raised his machete. "Hayes, Anker, take a few men with you to stop the caravan that ran away! The rest of you, follow me! "He urged his horse forward.
Angele stood still and watched the baron catch up with the caravan. He turned around.
"Angele, we'll enter the Anser Plain in another ten minutes. There's no map for us to go any further. We can't just walk around, or we'll get lost," the baron said in a deep voice.
"I'll go with you." Another bandit leader suddenly jumped out of the carriage.
The guards beside the caravan were getting more and more nervous, but they still followed the order strictly. They kept moving forward. No one said anything.
Olysses and Ceylon's faces lit up at the same time. "It's a big caravan! A big fish! There's at least ten carriages! "Olysses said excitedly.
The baron frowned and looked at his son for a while. The carriages in front were getting further and further away, and the sound of hooves was getting closer. He nodded. "Fifteen minutes. If you don't catch up by then, I'll come back for you."
"Five of you. Ankel, Hasis, you're coming with me!"
* * *
Not long after, a figure followed from behind. A small figure jumped onto the carriage and sat beside the young man. The man's flaxen hair was messy and fell on his shoulders. He was muscular and his right eye was wrapped in white gauze. It was Baron Kaer Rio.
The young man narrowed his eyes, paying close attention to any movement around him. The speed of the carriage wasn't fast, but it was the fastest the horses could go.
A group of cavalrymen quickly chased into the forest.
"Go ahead. Hurry up, don't waste time. If we don't meet up with the army commander and the Rudin royal family escapes, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility, "the leader said calmly. It gave people a very elegant feeling.
The baron also jumped out of the car, and another man took over driving. He walked to Angele's side. "I'll stay, you go up!"
In the middle of the sparse forest.
"As expected, I was still discovered." His expression darkened. He jumped off the carriage. He shouted loudly. "Keep moving! Don't stop! "
"Sir Ceylon, Sirs, there was a kid hiding behind the forest and watching us for a while. He might be a scout."
"Let's go. We'll go intercept the caravan. "Hayes shook his head. "I hope the caravan isn't too strong."
"Alright!" Angele nodded.
Anker and Hexis watched as the two lords quickly left with half of their men, leaving only four cavalrymen behind. They were speechless.
In the caravan, only two of the three cavalrymen were at the peak level. No wonder they were surrounded even though they were so strong.
However, Ceylon and the others did not care about him at all. Instead, they moved even faster.
"Father, someone is catching up to us. I'll stay and delay them. You guys keep moving, "Angele said calmly.
"Yes, Father." Angele nodded.
The baron saw his son jump off the carriage and realized something was wrong. "What's wrong, Angele?"
Olysses squeezed his horse's abdomen and quickly followed. "Sir Ceylon, there are two peak level knights here. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think anyone can escape from me, Olysses? "His voice was feminine and sharp, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
The cavalrymen were about to leave. Suddenly, the sound of horses neighing and wheels rolling came from afar. The sounds were so concentrated that they were very conspicuous.
"Hmph!" Ceylon snorted. "You're a master tracker. Let's go! " Ceylon was not convinced, but he had to admit that Olysses was better than him in this aspect.
Angele was speechless. "All of our family's property is in the carriages. Father, you should follow them. I'm fine. I'll catch up with you in a minute. "
"Hmph!" A trace of vigilance flashed in Ceylon's eyes. He stopped talking. He waved his hand. "Let's go!"
"Young soldiers?" A bald man laughed. "Rudin's bastards like to play tricks like this. Caster, do you want to go or should I? "He turned his head and asked the leader on the right.
"I'll stay with you," he said in a deep voice.
He had just casually glanced at those bandits who looked like small soldiers, and found that at least three out of ten of them had the physique of a Preparatory Knight. It was obvious that they weren't here to rob, but to train their troops. At the level of preparatory knights, five or six of them were equivalent to a slightly weaker knight. Coupled with the strength of the bandit leaders, if they were discovered, the caravan would definitely have no hope of escaping.
Olysses did not want to be outdone. "Do you want to take all the credit for yourself?" He laughed sinisterly and followed closely behind.
Angele's heart was in his mouth, and he felt nervous. He listened attentively to the sounds around him. He was afraid that the bandits would find the caravan and chase after them.
Ceylon rode on his horse and glanced at the ground. "Someone was here. It should be the traces of a carriage," he said in a low voice. "You guys! Go look around! "he yelled.
The rest of the cavalrymen laughed and took out a crossbow from their horse's pouch. "No one will know it's us as long as we put away our arrows," Anker said casually.
"What's there to be afraid of? We have good stuff with us." Anker laughed. He took out a brown crossbow from his back and waved it.
"It must be the border army of Uxas Kingdom!" The baron said with a grim expression. "They saw that Rudin was weak, so they were tempted. They pretended to be bandits to rob fleeing nobles. The surrounded caravan was probably an official from Rudin's big city. Three peak level knights were surrounded and couldn't escape. "
He looked at the silhouettes of the cavalrymen in the forest. Angele took out a white feather arrow and nocked it on his longbow. * Squeak * The bowstring was pulled tight. The black metal arrowhead reflected the sunlight.
* * *
"No need." The other leader of the Knights, Olysses, said. He jumped off his horse. "I can find their direction."
* * *
The two cavalrymen followed him closely. The three horses and about ten cavalrymen quickly turned around and ran back. They were extremely fast.
At the intersection of the forest and the grassland.
Angele also noticed that the way the bandits attacked was very formal. It seemed like they were well-trained. They were not bandits at all, but the regular army of some country pretending to be bandits.
It was not difficult for a family in a big city to train a large number of reserve knights, and it was not uncommon for hundreds of them to appear.
He turned around and glanced at the carriages behind him. He looked through the window and saw that the women inside were all nervous. The soldiers on the side were also tense, ready to fight at any time.
"Yes, Master Ceylon." Lord Ceylan. "Behind the leader, two knights stepped forward on their horses. They were strong men wearing dark green leather armor. Each of them had a broadsword in their hands.
"Chi! We'll finish them in 20 minutes! What kind of strong men are there in this backward place? "The bald man snorted. He pulled out a huge machete from the side of his horse and raised it high.
Olysses crouched by the side of the wheel marks and looked at them carefully. "They must have noticed us and are trying to avoid us by turning sideways. Go that way! "He pointed at the direction Angele and the others left and yelled.
Angele already knew what would happen. He immediately turned around and went back the way he came. He quickly returned to the baron's caravan. The baron was also shocked when he heard the situation in front of him. They decided to take a detour and cross the forest before entering the Anser Plain. They hoped that they could avoid the bandits in front of them.
There was a smile on the man's face. He had a metal longbow on his back and a quiver of arrows on the side of his horse. "Why would I do that? Lord Ceylon, I admire your bravery and strength very much. "
Beside the driver's seat of the first carriage. A young man with short brown hair was sitting in the driver's seat, fully armed. In his hand was a black wooden longbow that was covered with iron. There was a silver crossguard sword on his waist and a quiver of arrows on his back. The back of his waist was also bulging, and it was unknown what he was carrying.
Angele's face turned pale. He looked at them one by one.
Ceylon glanced at the man. "Olysses, you've made up your mind to fight me, haven't you?" He sounded angry.
Outside the bandit's formation. The five leaders were watching the cavalrymen who were trapped like beasts fighting back with great interest. A bandit with a hood ran to them from the back and reported to them.
A convoy of three black carriages was slowly traversing through the forest. The gaps between the trees were wide, and the carriages did not slow down at all.
Angele's expression suddenly changed as he sat in front of the carriage. Zero's voice echoed in his ears. 'Horse hooves are coming from behind. There are six knights approaching.'
* * *
There were no loud noises in the carriages. Everyone had a nervous look on their faces. The soldiers walking beside the carriages were nervous as well. Only the occasional snorting of the horses could be heard.
