Riding and Slashing

Chapter 172

There is no doubt that Alma is really good at scheming to gain power. In the eyes of most people, he is an insurmountable mountain covered with dark clouds.

But no one would have thought that this mountain would fall in the hands of a villain peeping at the authority.

Milgan didn't think about the consequences of Alma's death at all. He just wanted to use Alma's daughter to absorb the power that shouldn't belong to him.

However, Milgan may be a daring adventurer, but he is definitely not a qualified assassin.

After the successful assassination, the mercenary leader obviously didn't control his mentality. He neither cleaned up the scene immediately nor hid it on the spot, but planned to escape directly at night...

This is actually something that only inexperienced novice assassins can do.

After the assassination is successful, the best way must be to lurk in the city, and escape when the city becomes chaotic due to the dead.

If you have time to tidy up the scene, you should definitely tidy it up, or create some misleading, so as to increase your own safety.

Most novice Assassins die within an hour of just getting their hands on one.

Calmness and meticulousness are the most important qualities of an assassin—a guy like Lisa Dilan who can remain calm after being caught is considered a high-level assassin.

But Milgan was neither calm nor deliberate, nor even very composed.

Therefore, it was no surprise that Alma's subordinates discovered Milgan's behavior of fleeing the scene in a hurry as soon as he succeeded.

Immediately afterwards, the entire inner castle became extremely noisy. The soldiers discovered that Alma had been assassinated and died, and hundreds of people began to chase and kill the assassin.

However, Milgan is indeed very skilled. Although the few masters he brought in were all killed in the inner fort of Changhe Town, he himself was killed out of Changhe Town alone.

In other words, it is not called "killing out", but "jumping out".

Many things are always surprisingly similar.

Like the doom attractor before, Milgan was also blocked into the corner room on the fifth floor, and he was also forced to the corner. Then he accidentally discovered the secret door that could be turned over, and jumped into the lake from the fifth floor.

But Milgan didn't grow up by the lake... His water skills are not very good, and the equipment on his body is relatively heavy. Although he didn't wear the blue heavy armor for assassination, he was still almost drowned.

But he was lucky, or Eric was lucky, and Milgan ran into Eric in the water.

In fact, this is not a coincidence—Eric is a native of Changhe Town, and his best skill is swimming. He originally planned to sneak into Changhe Town from the waterway with twenty or thirty men.

But he won't be able to get in for a while. Changhe Town is very well guarded, and the river wharf in the city is now guarded by many soldiers, so he has been wandering around the lake, ready to try to dive in from the lake behind the inner fort.

As a result, the two met in the lake behind Changhe Town.

There was a lot of noise in the inner castle chasing and killing Milgan, and the lights were brightly lit. Someone jumped into the water from the fifth floor. Of course Eric could see such a big movement from the lake.

So Eric rescued him from the lake
In other words, it was Milgan who fell into Eric's hands-in the lake, his life and death were indeed in Eric's hands.

Although Eric is not skilled in martial arts, it is on land.

In the water, there are really not many people who can fight this white strip in the waves.

Of course, Milgan is a person who understands current affairs, and he knows Eric, and he has just walked hundreds of miles together not long ago.

Although not friends, but at least can be considered acquaintances.

Moreover, Milgan still possesses the excellent quality of knowing kindness and repaying it—of course, it can only be possessed when it is necessary...

After knowing that Eric was planning to enter the city, Milgan said that most of his mercenary group was still in the city and could bring Eric in.

He also told Eric everything he knew in detail.

But Milgan was no fool, he didn't mention that he killed Alma at all.

Eric was already having a headache on how to enter the city, and now he found a way, so with the cooperation of Milgan, Eric finally sneaked into Changhe Town.

But Eric is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is already familiar with the environment of Longhe Town. Of course, he can think that since Milgan fell into the water from the inner castle, it is very likely that he did something extraordinary—— So he tied Milgan up and took him into the River Express station.

As a result, the crappy assassin who planned to escape from Changhe Town immediately was brought into the town again, and was placed next to the inner castle of Changhe Town—the Changhe Express was stationed next to the inner castle.

At this time, the inner fort of Changhe Town was already in turmoil.

Because of Milgan's novice behavior, almost all of Alma's subordinates who stayed in the barracks in the Inner Castle Square knew that the Duke had been assassinated, and now they were all in chaos.

These troops from Lion Lake City are now leaderless and at a loss.

Probably out of a sense of responsibility and instinct, they were divided into two parts. One part went outside Changhe Town to look for the assassin who jumped into the river, while the other part left the inner castle and attacked all suspicious persons in the city.

Within an hour, the town of Changhe fell into full-blown riots.

A small number of Lion Lake City soldiers with poor military discipline began to take the opportunity to loot, kill and seize wealth.

Some local hooligans in Changhe Town also began to take advantage of the chaos.

Fortunately, Godric launched a "strike hard" when he took office, and the robbers and gangsters in Changhe Town basically disappeared, otherwise the consequences of the riot would be even more serious.

And the members of the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group scattered in various taverns in the city became the first victims of these rebellious troops—they were indeed the most suspicious people...

Although this was an accidental conflict, in fact, Alma's subordinates did find the right target-this matter was originally done by the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group.

The members of the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group didn't have to bring any news about Milgan. They thought that their leader had been killed, and they would naturally resist desperately when they were attacked—the female soldiers of this mercenary group really loved Milgan. Is very loyal.

As a result, Alma's troops fought with the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group in the city.

The top leaders on both sides are absent, and the troops in Lion Lake City have a numerical advantage; while the Griffin Sword Mercenary Corps has a small number, but they are highly elite and have stronger individual combat capabilities.

The two sides were evenly matched, and as a result, the two sides fought inextricably in the street fighting in the city.

This strange war lasted until midnight. Since half of the troops in Lion Lake City went outside the city to search for the assassin who jumped into the river, only half of them were in the city.

The correct judgment made by Eric before played a decisive role at this time.

The bodyguards who were originally hiding in Changhe Town all put on their coats of arms at this moment, and regrouped at the Changhe Express station.

When the troops in Lion Lake City were fighting with the Griffon Sword Mercenary Group, Eric led the bodyguards to capture the inner fort of Changhe Town without much effort, and successfully rescued Godric.

Later, Godric found out that Alma was assassinated and died, and also saw the imperial edict on Alma's desktop.

Of course Godric understood that King Ulrik could not transfer the town of Changhe to Alma, but he didn't know that Prince Alanric made it up. He thought that Alma forged the decree and passed the king's decree.

So Godric raised the banner, announced that Alma had rebelled, and together with Eric and the bodyguards began to counter the rebellion.

Godric, who was once the captain of the Royal Guard, is probably the person who is best at cleaning up the chaos in the entire Sarleon Kingdom-he and Eric led the bodyguards to suppress the city one by one, and kept maintaining the same order in every street. Fighting more and fighting less, he quickly regained control of the situation in the city.

In the early morning, the interior of Changhe Town was completely wiped out by Eric. Alma's men had no fighting spirit in the first place, so they all evacuated from Changhe Town and retreated to Lion Lake City.

The Griffin Sword mercenary group was forced to fight an extremely difficult battle in the city, with frighteningly high casualties. In addition, Milgan never showed up, and the remaining 200 people of this mercenary group also left Changhe. town, fled in the direction of Trubrun.

At the same time, Sir Roland, Sarah, and Leslie, who were rushing to Changhe Town, encountered Raphael on the way.

Of course, Sarah and Leslie knew Raphael. After hearing what Raphael said about the situation, Sarah was keenly aware that this was the method of the Duke of Alma's envoy, and also realized that it might not be time to go to prison.

Sarah has been socializing among the nobles all year round, and she knows these tricks very well—Alma first released Raphael, and then immediately declared Raphael a traitor, most of which was to introduce the crime to other people.

At the same time, releasing Raphael will let everyone know that Godric has been captured by him. Since he dared to disclose this matter, it is probably deliberately attracting people to rob the prison.

So instead of going to Changhe Town, they took Raphael and the dozens of rangers to Trublen first, intending to find out the news.

As a result, they just collided with the remnants of the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group who had fled to Troubrun.

The Griffin Sword mercenary group was farther into Changhe Town than Alma's troops. They actually knew that Raphael had attacked Alma. Since they had a common enemy, there was no conflict between the two sides.

But after contacting the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group, Sarah's complexion became worse and worse...

Because, when some female adventurers of the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group mentioned Milgan Kirick (Kirick), they used the name 'Kir (Kir)'.

Sarah knew the name.

Eight years ago, when she knew...

The handsome knight she had been infatuated with at that time, her lover who disappeared suddenly, called himself 'Keir'.

No wonder he disappeared, no wonder he had so many adventures...

It turned out that he had taught so many girls how to use a sword...

Sarah was dizzy and lost almost all her strength.

In fact, for Milgan, not only the beautiful girl can't tie him, even Eric's rope can't tie him...

What is the best thing a scumbag is good at?
Of course it's playing disappear...

After completely controlling Changhe Town, Eric returned to the station of Changhe Express, but only saw a few broken ropes on the ground—Mirgan disappeared!
This is actually inevitable. If he didn't have this ability, the number one scumbag in Pan De would have died eight times already.

Milgan and Leon have the same habit, they both like to carry a concealed knife with them.

However, the lord's knife is mainly used for kidnapping, and Milgan is mainly used for running away...

In his more than ten years of adventure career, that knife has saved him at least eight times...

But Milgan failed to find his mercenary group, and after escaping from Changhe Town, he went to Lion Lake City alone.

……

Li Ang didn't know about the chaos in Changhe Town. He was busy facing a group of strange enemies now.

Or rather, two groups of strange enemies.

One group is Jatu people.

And the other group is mostly wrapped in animal skins, and they all look like wild people from the misty mountains...

The reason why it is strange is because, how did these two groups get mixed together?

The lord is very puzzled, why did the Misty Mountain people attack the Noldor elves together with the Jatu people?
But at least now, he understood why Aldalion was defeated, and why the Jatu dared to go deep into the forest of the Noldor.

Because many of the Misty Mountain savages held the heraldic shields and maces that belonged to the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets, and a small number of the Misty Mountains held the Noldor Sword and Noldor Shield.

Obviously, these Misty Mountain people have probably been fighting together with the Jatu people.

Most of the ebony warhammers who were responsible for luring Aldalian are gone, and the weapons have all fallen into the hands of the misty mountain savages. Their fate is obvious.

It is estimated that the Jatu people and the Misty Mountain people jointly arranged an ambush, and they ambush together with the Ebon Gauntlet Knights.

According to Lisa Dilan, Ardalian hated the Jatu people very much, and he probably would not let them go when he saw them. It is understandable that he was ambushed by the Jatu people and the Misty Mountain people.

Li Ang is now beside a forest horse farm, hiding in the dark and peeping at the horse farm.

He didn't bring many people, only 200 people, that is, his non-commissioned officers and some newly recruited soldiers. The ratio of recruits to veterans was one to one.

This is deliberate, and the way of one belt and one can make recruits grow quickly.

Going into the forest to fight for the Noldor, he could only take his own people with him. The knights and soldiers of White Hart would certainly not be willing to do this kind of work.

After discovering the traces of the Jatu people, Lisa Dilan accelerated his speed and led the team all the way here, just in time for the enemy to launch an attack.

Since he didn't have many people, Li Ang didn't rush into the battlefield immediately, but kept waiting for the opportunity.

At this time, Li Sadilan showed strong obedience. Knowing that the lord planned to ambush the enemy, he neither urged nor impatient, but hid in the woods to guard the side, lest Li Ang's troops be discovered.

The lord's troops were hiding in the dense forest, probably not being discovered.

Li Ang was at the frontmost position, and in front of him was an open forest and grassland.

This is the largest stud farm of the Nordofenwe family, breeding hundreds of elf horses.

Probably this is also the place where the trees are sparsest in the Noldor Forest. As far as Li Ang can see, there are tall yew trees, but the distance between the trees is mostly more than 20 meters.

This was obviously done deliberately by the Fenway family, which made this horse farm the only place in the forest where horses could run.

The Fenway family left about 80 people in this racecourse, led by two twilight knights, divided into two teams.

One team guarded a large stable, while the other team was in front, shooting the enemies who came up.

In fact, eighty Noldor elves are already very powerful in combat. If they were in the woods, they might be able to deal with enemies ten times stronger than themselves.

But now, they were in this sparsely wooded place, lacking the cover of trees, the Noldor could only fight head-on.

In fact, there are not many Misty Mountain people appearing in front of them now, only more than 100, but after obtaining excellent equipment, the combat effectiveness of these savages is not weak.

The most important thing is - like those Jatu people, they don't care about their lives at all, and they are constantly charging forward against the Noldor's arrow rain.

Although dozens of corpses had been left behind, they were always at the forefront, quickly approaching the lineup of the Noldor.

Those Jatu people may be more than 300 people, but they are scattered widely, and basically did not step forward to participate in close combat, but consciously approached the stables.

It seemed that the purpose of those Jatus was indeed for the Elven horses of the Noldor.

It was more difficult for Noldo who didn't want to exchange their lives with the enemy. Those Noldo in the front row retreated step by step, and gradually retreated to the side of the stable.

Now, they can't retreat, the stables are behind them, but once the Jatu people get on the horses, the problem will be serious...

Outnumbered, and with the Noldor to keep those horses from the Jatu, it seemed that the Noldor were about to be forced into hand-to-hand combat.

This was originally something the Noldor wanted to avoid as much as possible, they were unwilling to exchange lives with others.

"Brothers, charge!"

When the enemy was still 30 meters away from the Noldor elves, the lord issued an order, and then rushed to the front in the lead.

The lord's army rushed over from the enemy's side. Just after entering the battlefield, Li Ang shot down a Jatu man with an arrow.

Then he directly dropped his bow, brandished his sword and rushed towards another Jatu.

Rushing out from this direction happened to be the direction that some Jatu people were outflanking, and the nearest Jatu people were only 20 meters away from him. He shot an arrow at the beginning just to express his position, lest the Noldor hit the wrong person.

And Lisa Dilan also rushed out at this time, running towards a Twilight Knight.

Both sides in the battle saw this group of human soldiers rushing out, wearing neat heraldic burqas.

But the Noldor had no time to pay attention—the Mist Mountain Wildmen had rushed before them and began to fight hand to hand.

On the contrary, the Jatu people hesitated, probably reassessing the situation on the battlefield...

But Li Ang's troops didn't hesitate at all. The [-] people who gathered together rushed directly to the Jiatu people who were already in a state of stragglers.

Although there was no way to set up an army formation in the forest, the effect of this charge was quickly reflected with the local superior force and the dense formation against the skirmish line.

In just one minute, dozens of Jatu people fell to Li Ang's troops.

"Bispar!"

Li Ang heard the Jatu words again, which meant retreat, and the Jatu people on the periphery slowly began to retreat.

But those Misty Mountain people are still fighting hard, because they are now fighting with the Noldor elves, and there is no way to retreat.

It seems that the relationship between the Jatu people and these Misty Mountain people is not too strong, and those Jatu people actually sold their teammates...
