Riding and Slashing

Chapter 154

"Eric, pack up and send a message to the brothers in other hotels, asking them to meet up near Yaragal early tomorrow morning, and we will leave the city immediately."

Li Ang looked at the situation at the scene and watched the group of strange attackers disappear from the King's Road. Instead of chasing after them, he immediately signaled Eric to clean up the scene and prepare to leave.

Of course it cannot be pursued...

The bodyguards under Eric attacked from behind and from the side of the enemy, but in this case, there were more casualties than the enemy!
The fighting power of these people is quite strong!

Those enemies obviously didn't expect Li Ang to have so many people, and they were worried that Li Ang would have backup, so they retreated so quickly.

There are two hundred people on both sides, such a big movement, if the fight continues, it will inevitably attract the city defense army or the army of the Lion Knights to suppress it...

In fact, those enemies as a whole did not lose the wind, only lost a dozen people in the alley next to the stables, and those on the King's Road actually did not lose much.

These enemies are a well-trained and strong army.

But it doesn't look like a regular army, after all, no regular army has so many women in the Lion Realm.

But since this army dared to attack him in the city of fierce lion, it meant that there must be some important person in the city of fierce lion who wanted to kill him by name.

After the king has signed an agreement with himself, he still intends to kill himself?
The lord doesn't understand, what kind of person would do this?

Could it be that Ulrik had some kind of madness?

Therefore, Li Ang planned to leave Lion City as soon as possible.

It is night now, the city gates are closed, Sarleon City is very strict at night, it is easy for one or two people to go out, but the convoy cannot leave the city together.

Sarleon City does not allow a large number of armed personnel to enter and leave at will. Eric and the others entered the city in batches in the name of a transport team before, and now they can only leave the city in batches.

Eric commanded half of the brothers to quickly pull out the carriage behind the hotel and move all the corpses to the carriage, and the bodyguards became the transport convoy again.

The other half were the people Eric left behind to scout for information, and they began to clean up the scene to clean up the blood and clean up the traces of the battle just now.

Naturally, no one would stop the transport convoy with the three baron flags, and dozens of people left the city quickly.

"Eric, do you know who these people are?"

Outside Lieshi City, Li Ang was a little confused looking at the corpses in several cars.

The bodyguards under him lost more than a dozen in this short battle, most of them were killed by a single sword. The enemies were generally highly skilled, and the weapons they used were also very unusual.

The enemy also left more than a dozen corpses, most of them died in surprise attacks.

Some of the corpses are supposed to be adventurers from Ravencrowland.

But more of the corpses were women, and it was rare for so many female adventurers to gather in one party.

Moreover, these women seem to be willing to protect the leading knight with their lives.

This is even rarer...

Li Ang picked up a sword and a fan-shaped shield from the carriage.

The sword and shield were left by the leading knight.

It was a knight's long sword with a blade as black as ink, and it looked old - it looked very similar to Li Ang's own saber.

Moreover, the griffon crest is also engraved on the weight of the hilt.

This is the Griffin Knight Sword!
The fan-shaped shield is also very old, and the black coat of arms has been mottled, but it can still be seen that it is a griffin.The outer edge of the shield is covered with brass, making the entire shield look like a black griffin on a gold background.

This was the equipment of the Griffon Knights back then.

"My lord, this looks like the 'Prodigal Son' Mirgan Kirik, that guy is well-known in the mercenary industry... His mercenary group is called 'Griffin Sword'..."

After all, Eric has been a mercenary for more than ten years, so he is quite familiar with him. Most of his bodyguards are also well-informed, and they all said that it should be this person.

The 'Sword of the Griffin' mercenary group is indeed famous, but most people think that they have nothing to do with Gupander's Griffin Knights.

If there is a relationship, it is that this mercenary group is generally equipped with the weapon of the Griffin Knights - a military sword with the Griffin coat of arms.

So they are called 'Swords of Griffins'.

But this mercenary group is not famous because of this unknown source of equipment, but because of the mercenary group leader Milgan Kirik.

Milgan is notorious for being greedy, arrogant and uniquely attractive to women.

He is known as Pan De's "The Prodigal Son", and he is extremely good at seducing women...

There are a large number of female explorers or female warriors in the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group, and most of them are hooked up by him.

And most of the girls even secretly ran away from home to join his team—voluntarily followed, bringing their own dry food, so no one really can accuse him...

Nobles who knew Milgan Kirik would lock up their wives and daughters when they saw him, so as not to be tricked into the mercenary regiment by him...

But although Milgan himself was not welcomed by male nobles, his mercenary group enjoyed a high reputation in Pendor Continent.

So far, the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group has been able to successfully complete the mission most of the time, and it is quite credible.

So the nobles cursed him and hired him at the same time, which is considered weird...

The bodyguards chattered about this mercenary group, and it seemed that many people had heard of Milgan's love story - most of the bodyguards showed a strange envy, jealousy and hatred...

Including Eric - he's more obvious now that he's turned [-] and still a bachelor...

So he changed the subject.

"My lord, these swords look very old, but they are still so sharp. They should be made of ebony."

Erik retrieved another Gryphon Rider sword from next to the corpse of another female warrior, and lightly scratched the blade with a broken shaft.

The barrel of the gun was easily shaved neatly.

"The ebony sword... Eric, you can use this sword yourself. Let the brothers pay attention in the future to see where there are ebony minerals."

Eric obviously liked the sword, but he didn't take it away before. Obviously, Gou Sheng still practiced the rules set by Li Ang at the beginning - distributing the spoils based on military exploits.

That was the achievement of the whole team, and now the supreme commander is Li Ang, so he has to wait for Li Ang to assign it.

Eric is indeed a very smart guy.

So the lord directly gave him the sword - the person with the highest military exploits in this battle was originally Eric who fully understood Li Ang's eyes, otherwise, if he confronted head-on head-on, the brothers would definitely suffer much more losses than they do now .

The 'ebony' of Pendor Continent is actually not wood, but a rare metal unique to Pendor Continent.

It is only because this metal has a wood-like texture after refining and shaping that it is called ebony.

It is said that this metal was used in the manufacture of magic items in the age of the Titans thousands of years ago - at that time, this metal was also called Mithril or Black Gold.

But that's just ancient rumors, and now there is basically no magic in the true sense on this continent.

This kind of metal unique to Pendor Continent can last more than a hundred years without rust, and it is obviously the best weapon material. Of course, Li Ang also wanted to find it.

……

In Sarleon City, Igor's private residence.

An ordinary-looking aristocratic mansion.

Two people are arguing.

"You let him run away?"

Igor didn't understand: "Didn't you bring a lot of people?"

"Igor, you bastard! You said he was traveling alone, but he had more than 100 subordinates in that hotel! You caused me to lose many brave female warriors!"

Milgan Kirik waved his helmet and yelled at Igor menacingly.

"More than 100 people? How come? Could it be that he brought all the troops to Sarleon City?...I didn't find out before..."

Igor was confused, but he shook his head in a blink of an eye: "Even if he has more than 100 people, with the ability of your Griffin Sword, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him, right?"

"Of course I could kill him! But it's different! Do you understand? Killing a man is not the same as killing an army!"

Milgan shook his head in dissatisfaction. The mustache on his lips was neatly trimmed, and his eyes looked like they were firing electricity all the time. He was indeed an extremely handsome middle-aged man.

But this handsome guy's face was livid at the moment, and those electric eyes seemed to be shooting out anger.

Igor sighed heavily: "Mirgan, you have to talk about your credibility..."

"Of course I talk about credibility! I mean, you have to pay more! Igor! You have to make up for my loss!"

Milgan yelled, waving his helmet.

"Before he returns to the east, if you can kill him and bring his body to Sarleon, you can get fifty thousand dinars...Mirgan, are you satisfied with this price?"

Igor thought for a while, and directly added an outrageous price.

"Fifty thousand... Aha! I have to collect a deposit first..."

Milgan's anger died down almost immediately.

"Bullshit deposit! You'd better hunt him down quickly! ... If you let him run back to the east and meet Godric, not to mention whether you can kill him, even if you can, you will lose the opportunity to kill him." The meaning of it! He and his people must die in the jurisdiction of Sarleon City, and no one can escape! Understand!"

Now it's Igor's turn to lose his temper, and if the ink remains, Li Ang will run away...

If a nobleman like Godric knew that Leon had been released by the king long ago, it would be very difficult to blame the king.

"Don't worry, he can't escape! If you don't let him go out of the city, you can't kill so many people—I can't start a war in the city, can I?"

Milgan spoke quite arrogantly.

He does have the capital of arrogance.

After leaving Sarleon City, he went to a camp outside the city.

"Honey, they went all the way west. There are only more than 60 people. I sent someone to follow them all the way."

In the camp, a female explorer is paying tribute to Milgan.

"Very well, honey, you're the most capable baby...all of you, come with me! We've got a big exciting job to do!"

After hugging the woman and kissing her fiercely, Milgan brought out a large army of 500 people from the camp...

All cavalry!

This is the reason why the 'Sword of the Griffin' mercenary group can enjoy a high reputation in Pendor - this is a force that no one can ignore.

……

The speed of the convoy at night is relatively slow. After all, vehicles can only be driven on the main road, and it is indeed not as convenient as horses.

One night passed, and until the early morning, the convoy only moved to the vicinity of the village of Yaragal, at the foot of the Goddess Mountain.

Li Ang asked everyone to stop to let the horses rest, and buried all the corpses under the Goddess Mountain.

When the brothers died in battle, of course they had to have a suitable home, and under the Goddess Mountain was the home that all fighters in the Lion Realm would be satisfied with, whether they were enemies or their own.

This was also the agreed rendezvous point with the bodyguards from the other hotels in Sarleon, but the bodyguards hadn't come yet.

"My lord! I seem to hear the sound of hooves! Lots of hooves!"

At the foot of the mountain, Li Ang was leading his brothers to bury the corpse, and the bodyguards who were scouts outside shouted.

The lord turned his head, but did not see the enemy.

Eric lay down on the ground and listened: "My lord, it seems that a large army is coming, I don't know if it is our own..."

The bodyguards also have a large number of carriages...

But Li Sadilan suddenly appeared at this time, he jumped from a big tree, and came to the lord: "Master Li Ang, I saw a lot of smoke coming here, it is absolutely Not one of our own... You'd better get out of here quickly..."

Lisa Dilan's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, and he can see far from the top of the tree. Since he said so, there should indeed be a large number of enemies coming.

"Lisa Dilan, you protect the adults and go first, I will stay and see the situation."

Eric nodded to the Noldor.

Eric is currently the person who is most familiar with Lisa Dilan besides the lord, and the two of them can still talk occasionally - Lisa Dilan is indeed a little guilty of accidentally hurting Eric.

"Eric, it's best to go together... Those people seem to know our location, and it feels like they are trying to surround us, and there is no way out if we stay here!"

Risa Dilan rarely talked a lot.

"Everyone! Follow me!"

Since there was danger, Li Ang would naturally not waste time, got on his horse and ordered everyone to retreat.

Eric followed Li Ang in a carriage: "Lisa Dilan, get in the car!"

The bodyguards were indeed well-trained. Within half a minute, all of them drove the carriage and followed Li Ang to the east.

Lisa Dilan's advice was very timely, and after only a few minutes, Milgan led his mercenary group to chase here.

The scene of five hundred cavalry galloping was quite astonishing. Even when the dew was heavy in the early morning, it brought out smoke and dust rising all the way.

The leader, Milgan, slowed down when he saw the new graves.

He saw a few female warriors who had been placed in the pit, their bodies already covered with a thin layer of soil, but they hadn't had time to completely bury the tomb.

"They stayed here... they left before they finished covering the soil, so they won't be far away! My dear, how do we arrange it now?"

Milgan asked the female explorer beside him.

"A few tens of miles to the east is a foggy no-man's land - if it were me, I would definitely run there. My dear, you'd better arrange two centurions to encircle you, and then you lead a large force to pursue from behind, in the Stop them at the edge of the fog."

The woman looked like she was in her twenties, and she was the only one in the mercenary group who didn't wear armor. She wasn't pretty, but she was quite capable. She was probably Milgan's right-hand man.

"You've arranged it very well, dear!"

Milgan boasted to the woman beside him: "Honey, I'm going to charge, you're not good at riding a horse, so stay here and bury these brave ladies well..."

After speaking, he left the capable woman and several female warriors under the Goddess Mountain, divided the troops into three groups, and continued to pursue eastward.

As for the lord, after galloping eastward for a few miles, he saw two cavalry troops with hundreds of soldiers each.

A cavalry team composed of Ravencrow adventurers and rogue knights;

The other is all women, female adventurers and explorers.

This is obviously a member of the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group.

The speed of these two troops is obviously faster than that of the convoy, but they are both moving in parallel on the side. It seems that they are consciously double-teaming on both sides, compressing the space for Li Ang's team to move, so that he can only move in one direction .

"Stop!"

The lord stopped the horse suddenly, and stopped the convoy behind him.

"Eric, turn around, let's go back to the place where we agreed to meet with the brothers!"

Li Ang ordered to return in an unquestionable tone.

"My lord, this...the front is a no-man's land shrouded in thick fog, and we may very well get out of it!"

Eric didn't understand.

But Li Ang has already turned around and rode away: "They are double-teaming us! Put them to death and survive... Hurry up! Follow me! Even if the horse is beaten to death, don't be bitten by the enemy!"

Lisa Dilan flew into the driver's seat of the carriage, took the reins of the horse and turned around, and whipped the horse's buttocks.

"Eric, those two cavalrymen were faster than us, but they didn't chase after us directly. My lord's judgment is correct...we can't go any further!"

Encountered real danger, the Noldor Elf seemed no longer autistic, and he may have more experience than everyone else in terms of starting.

Li Ang led the convoy back in a circle. The convoy was all empty, and the speed of the horses was quite fast after being raised.

The cavalry team flanked by both sides actually ran too far for a while. Although their horses were much more flexible than the convoy, no one probably expected that Li Ang would suddenly kill his carbine—who would know that someone was chasing him behind him? It's time to run back...

As a result, when they turned around and chased again, the convoy had already picked up its speed, and the two cavalry could still only follow on both sides.

A few minutes later, Li Ang led the convoy around an arc and returned to the foot of Goddess Mountain. The convoy stopped.

"Eric, set up a car formation!"

Li Ang yelled, and then took Lisa Dilan to clean up the few women who stayed here.

That was the capable woman who had been talking to Milgan. She was not wearing heavy armor, but was wearing a noble brocade robe. She was probably not very skilled, so she was left here by Milgan to bury the tomb.

Now the woman was a little panicked, and she obviously didn't expect that Li Ang would go back and forth, holding a horse and trying to get on it, but failed to get on the horse twice - her brocade robe was not suitable for riding a horse, and the horse Horses do seem a bit high for her.

The other female warriors are quite powerful, probably stronger than the Lion Knight, but Lisa Dilan was beaten into a panic by their teamwork.

But Li Ang didn't help...

The lord always fights with soft persimmons first. Although Li Ang doesn't know what is going on with these women staying here, just judging from their attire, it is obvious that the soft persimmons present are the women in brocade robes .

So, only ten seconds later, the woman was put on a sword around her neck.

This is the sword dropped by Milgan Kirik.
