Riding and Slashing

Chapter 352 Counter Ambush

Li Ang did not explain Kavala to Darion for the time being, after all, Li Ang was not sure whether Kavala would appear in Pendor Continent.

And the enemies to be dealt with immediately are the Three Prophets.

It may be difficult for Darion to understand why the former High King of Pendor would be a scourge, but at least he knows that the Three Seers are definitely a scourge.

Kewen Village was massacred, and all the friendly villagers and gentle nobles were killed. For Dalion and Charles, this was an unsolvable blood feud.

Killing the three prophets has become the most important thing at present.

Therefore, the entire resident was almost in full force.

The current Griffon Knights are already considered a fairly strong armed force, and Dalion and Charles actually brought out more than 500 people from the garrison.

But there were only forty griffin riders among them.

There are more than 200 Griffon attendants-these attendants are all cavalry, and they look quite powerful.

The other 200 people, all carrying longbows and swords and shields, seemed to be well-rounded and comprehensive soldiers similar to the Red Arrow Longbowmen.But in fact, these are some recruits who have not yet reached the standard of servants, and some of them have just been recruited from the alcoholic regiment.

Darion also introduced to Leon his right-hand man, the Knight Commander of the Griffon Knights, Sir Azrael.

Azrael's father was a maester—that is, a scholar who faithfully recorded history, a respected historian.

However, his father died suddenly in Sarleon ten years ago, and Azrael became an apprentice blacksmith, studying for several years in the largest smithy in Sarleon.

But a few years ago, people from the Knights of the Lion suddenly came to the door to take back his father's bachelor's medal and tried to snatch the manuscript left by his father.

It was also at that time that Azrael knew that his mother kept a manuscript that his father had recorded. The manuscript recorded all kinds of dirty things that the Lion Knights had done in cooperation with the Three Prophets after it was rebuilt by Ulrik ten years ago. — including many massacres.

His mother refused to hand over the manuscript, resulting in a conflict in which the Lion Rider killed his mother.

Azrael was not the kind of person who would be submissive, he killed the lion rider, and then fled around.

In the process of fleeing, Azrael has been exposing the darkness of the Lion Knight everywhere.

More than a year ago, by chance, he met Darion's adoptive father, Sir Paul de Mar, on the Goddess Mountain.

Later, Azrael became an important helper to Darion.

In fact, the greatest help that Azrael brought to Dalyon was not his martial arts and knowledge, but his blacksmithing skills - he forged the ebony mine in the ruins into a weapon for more than a year .

The most powerful part of the current Griffin Knights is actually their equipment - this is a troop equipped with ebony swords!

Even the archers under Charles are equipped with short swords made of ebony.

In addition, every Gryphon Rider is a top fighter.

Because what is needed to become a Griffin Knight is not noble status, but many tests.

It is generally similar to the selection experienced by Amy's female soldiers, but stricter.

First, you must swear allegiance to the Pendor Kingdom. Although there is no real king in the Pendor Kingdom at this time, you still have to swear to fight for the people of Pendor.This basically cuts itself off from all other countries.

Then, seek the approval and recommendation of a Griffin Knight, such as Azrael.

This kind of referral is different from ordinary referrals, the referrer has to bear joint and several responsibilities - if there is something wrong with the person Azrael introduces, such as committing a crime or betraying, then Azrael will also have to be reduced to a servant Re-examination, and he must first personally kill the sinner he recommended in order to be eligible for the re-examination.

But at the same time, if no one has been recommended to meet the standard of a reserve knight within two years, then this Griffin Knight will also be demoted to a squire - he must be recommended, and he cannot be introduced indiscriminately. It is impossible to find someone to fill up the number.

Relatives and friends are also not easy to use - it is actually not easy to meet the standard of the Griffin Knights' reserve knights, and recommending people who do not meet the requirements is tantamount to cheating yourself.

Since they vowed to fight for Pendor, they really had to work hard, which would force the Griffin Knights to take the initiative to find promising young people and teach them their skills seriously.

The knight order does not support idlers, nor does it need the kind of lone ranger who cannot communicate. Active inheritance is the true inheritance.

After newcomers are introduced to the team, they need to train strictly for a long time to ensure that they have enough martial arts and courage, and are familiar with military orders.

In fact, after doing all this, he can only become a griffin servant.

In fact, the requirements for attendants are not low, and many people can't meet the requirements after a year of training...

After that, there is the content of the assessment to become a knight.

You must first ensure that you are literate, be able to write all common phrases and military newspapers completely, and then pass the stricter riding and swordsmanship assessment-at least defeat Dalion who only fights with one hand.

After the three Griffin Knights prove that their daily performance and conduct are qualified, this is considered to be qualified as an apprentice knight.

In the end, if you want to become a glorious Griffon Knight, you have to go to actual combat, find and kill some villains who have committed atrocities—that is, to solve the troubles for the people of Pendor.

Like protecting a village, eradicating heretics, bringing back the heads of Jatu War Riders, rescuing a village threatened by bandits, or exterminating a pack of bandits—or, of course, taking out a Lion Rider.

The difficulty of these things is of course different, but each goal has corresponding 'points', and it is only fair to become a Griffon Knight after accumulating a certain number of points in two years.

This is the inheritance of the Griffon Knights, and Darion's adoptive father, Sir Paul Demar, has completely preserved this inheritance.

Although it seems troublesome and not easy, at least it is fair-much fairer than those knight titles that can be easily obtained by relying on noble status. Whether you are a farmer or a beggar before, as long as you can do it, you are all treated equally.

Of course, because it was not easy, only forty people became Griffin Riders in two years.

Bao Daisi is very interested in the inheritance method of the Griffon Knights. She feels that if she can regain her throne, she will also use this method to build her Ficavia knights in the future.

She also believes that nobles and knights should be distinguished. Nobles can rely on reincarnation, but knights must rely on skills.

Of course, the knight in her eyes must be a female knight...

Not long afterward, Baodaisi saw the prototype of the female knight in her mind.

Kerwin Village Center.

A group of people are having a funeral at the Countess' estate.

The funeral was very much like that, except that it was a little grim, and there seemed to be a lot of people in attendance-it looked like thousands of people.

Moreover, these people surrounded an army of about [-] people.

All members of that army were women, and the leader was a girl wearing a crown, wearing white light armor, and riding a tall horse.

"I didn't expect to attract her so easily..."

Circe, who looked like a little girl, smiled and waved her hand. Those in black robes all raised their hoods and drew their weapons.

The female soldiers also drew their weapons, but they didn't move rashly - the number of people surrounding them was probably ten times that of theirs.

"Your Majesty Sonnard, I'm glad to meet you! You'd better go have a cup of tea with me, lest there be any bloody incidents here..."

Midea pointed to the winery behind her.

"A bloody case?... Hasn't it already happened here?"

The girl with the crown spoke calmly, and then rode back a few steps towards her troops: "What are you going to do? This prophet..."

"Haha...cute little girl, Amy, do you think there is a magic tower here to protect you? Hmph..."

Midia laughed twice, and then she let out a dull roar: "Om..."

……

"Oops! Speed ​​up! The Three Prophets are already casting spells!"

Li Ang led the Griffin Knights to the west of the village and hadn't entered yet, but his perception is too strong now, and he easily heard the roar.

The gryphon rider and squires began to gallop, and Bodais drew her spear.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he happened to see two troops confronting each other from a distance. Li Ang saw the girl wearing a light armor with a crown at a glance.

but……

That's not Amy!
That's Alina!
Li Ang was too familiar with these girls, so he could tell something was wrong at a glance - Amy didn't have such big breasts...

Moreover, there were two other people in front of Alina. Although they were both wearing the female explorer's deer helmet, Li Ang could easily tell that one was Wendy and the other was Wenda Dier!

At this time, Midea's face had changed drastically, and after she let out that roar, she even fell under the horse all of a sudden.

Probably because of the pain, her entire face was completely distorted.

"Why?! Why is this place banned?!"

Li Ang heard this puzzled question from a distance, and recognized that it was Midea's voice.

"I let you run away at Penn last year, but I won't let you run away again today..."

Wendy glanced back, she shouldn't be able to see Li Ang from her position, but she must have heard the sound of horseshoes.

Afterwards, she took off her helmet, threw it towards Midia, and charged with her sword: "Let's go! Kill her!"

Those purple eyes looked like they were glowing!
A few followers around Midia raised their shields, probably trying to block the helmet, but the helmet suddenly exploded before it came into contact with the shield!
After the sound of "boom", several followers fell to the ground covering their faces - the helmet fragments covered their faces.

Following the explosion, all the female warriors behind Wendy rushed forward!

Facing the enemies that surrounded them and were ten times larger than themselves, they charged directly!

"Griffon riders, charge at that little girl—that's a wicked witch!"

Li Ang commanded loudly, and he saw a ten-year-old girl riding a horse holding a sword and trying to cut someone—he was actually not sure who it was, but anyway, if a ten-year-old child appeared on the battlefield, it must be Just not a normal person...

Moreover, that kid is dealing with Wendy!

In fact, there is no need for Li Ang to greet her, but anyone with an average IQ can realize that there is something wrong with the little girl, so Bao Daisy and Dalion have already rushed over.

At this time, a large army rushed in from the south of the village, led by Godric.

Troops were on the move to the north, too, a host of strong men with hammers or swords and gleaming great silver gauntlets.

In the east of the village, a troop with black armor and two black horns on its helmet also began to charge.

"Traitor, I'm right, the Three Prophets intend to occupy Queen Sonnard's body!"

Alistair yelled at the other big black man as he drove forward.

That's Jocelyn.

"Of course I believe you, but can you stop calling me a traitor..."

At this time, Jocelyn was still dressed as the devil, with heavy armor and riding an extremely majestic war beast.It's just that this time he didn't raise the flag, but held his two-handed sword in one hand.

"Hmph... But you are a traitor... No matter what the reason is, it is shameful to betray the Knights!"

Alistair snorted and drove the horse faster.

His current voice is a bit sharp, and his humming is somewhat yin and yang.

"Hmph, but you are a traitor now!"

Jocelyn also hummed twice in return.

To be honest, the Three Prophets had really bad luck in this operation.

They originally planned to ambush the army in Kewen, then hold a funeral, send someone to lure Amy over, and then let Midia occupy Amy's body.

But they didn't expect that their people didn't meet Amy in Changhe Town - Amy believed that Li Ang had returned, and left Changhe Town with a team of cavalry, probably planning to meet in the direction of Yaragal.

After all, the information he got was that Li Ang was buying horses in Yaragal.

This period of time is relatively chaotic, and there may be dangers on the road, so it is necessary to meet them. Even if you don't encounter them, you can use this team of cavalry to clean up possible obstacles along the way...

Therefore, it was Arina who received the news that the three prophets had sent someone to announce the death of the Countess of Kewen Village in Changhe Town.

Alina didn't know the countess well, so she wasn't in a hurry, and planned to wait for Amy to come back.

Afterwards, Amy did not come back, and Alistair came first.

Alistair planned to defect to Amy, and the nomination certificate he brought was the plan of the Three Prophets—the letter intercepted by Sir Roland before the Three Prophets was actually passed on to him.

At that time, the riots in Baranley also had some credit for the Knights of the Twilight.

Originally, the whole plan of the three prophets was to control the nobles of Baranley, create a refugee riot, and attack Sarleon City.

If Sarleon City takes in refugees, then create fallen ones in the city and destroy the Tower of Demon Taboo while taking advantage of the chaos.

After the Forbidden Tower is destroyed, Anna can try to occupy Amy's body.

If the Three Prophets succeed in establishing their kingdom of God, the Knights of the Twilight can become the National Knights.

But what I didn't expect was that Amy actually evacuated Sarleon City at the same time they started the riot...

This unexpected change caught the Three Prophets a little off guard.

At the time, Alistair felt that either the plan had been exposed, or that Amy had expert advice.He wanted to evacuate, but failed to persuade the D'Shar to return to attack Singal, so he simply went to Amy.

After all, what Alistair wants is to make contributions, not to follow heresy all the way to the dark.In his opinion, Amy, who gave up Sarleon City and returned to Changhe Town, had more opportunities.

Of course, other people in Changhe Town didn't like to see Alistair very much, but Jocelyn planned to give him a chance, so he let Alistair meet Alina.

Jocelyn has always been in charge of training troops in Changhe Town, and the flag officer has a very high reputation now.

After Alina learned of the original plan of the Three Prophets, she keenly felt that the situation in Kewen Village might be a bit strange. It happened that Wendy was in Changhe Town at that time, so she asked Wendy for help.

Wendy was actually in Long River Town to wait for Sir Roland - she owed Alaric a dragon's tear, and she planned to save Alaric.Sir Roland's battle cry can purify the spells used by the evil spirits, which Wendy has seen when fighting against Agram.

It's just that Wendy didn't bring any troops, and only Wenda Dier was with her - Wenda Dier served as Wendy's bodyguard. In the past year, Wendy has been running around, Wenda Dier is very worried.

Wendy and Alina made up their minds, and decided to ask Alina to dress up as Amy to see the situation, and Wendy and Wenda Dier would protect her—the main reason is that Wendy's eyes are too obvious, otherwise Wendy would It might have been better if Dee had pretended to be Amy.

After dealing with Egreme, Wendy already knew that she would not be corrupted by heresy, and she felt a little guilty about the fact that she withdrew early and caused Midea to run away. She planned to cooperate with Alina and take this opportunity to kill Midea.

Of course, at that time, no one thought that Midea could use Oswood's remnant body to escape—the lump of flesh didn't even have feet, and no one knew how Midea escaped.

The main reason was that everyone was busy searching for Li Ang at that time, and no one cared about Midia.

Wendy and Alina actually brought most of the troops from Changhe Town, but only Amy's personal guards entered the village first.

The more than 400 female soldiers are Amy's griffin claws, all female explorers.

Alina's plan is, if the Three Prophets set up an ambush in Kewen, then set up an ambush and try to wipe out the Three Prophets' forces.

In an attempt to annihilate the forces of the Three Seers, she could take some risks herself - and she was always willing to take risks.

If Amy was present, she probably wouldn't be allowed to make such a decision, but Amy just wasn't there...

So, Alina pretended to be Amy, and used herself as a bait, planning to lure out all the ambush soldiers of the Three Prophets, and then let the troops outside the village besiege from all directions, trying to wipe out all the three prophets in one fell swoop!
Now the ambush of the three prophets has indeed been lured out, and the appearance of Midea looks like it has been backlashed by magic.So, after hearing the sound of horseshoes, Wendy tried to catch the thief first and the king first.

With Wenda Tier by her side, Wendy is not afraid of anyone.

Speaking of which, Vendatil is indeed a humanoid monster... Although it's not very good to use this kind of word to describe a beautiful lady, but I really can't find a more suitable word...

Probably Wendy had called her in advance. When dealing with the men of the Three Prophets this time, Wenda Dier did not use her stabbing and fencing technique of listening to the sound to identify the position, but slashed on horseback with wide open and close——she With two long knives in both hands, there are two corpses everywhere!

Some people say that when the knife is extremely fast, only the moonlight can be seen.

But in reality, that might not be fast enough...

The fastest knife, you can't see any knife light at all, and you can't even see the afterimage-it's like there's nothing in your hand!
Vendatil was like this at the moment, he couldn't see the knife in her hand at all, he could only see her rushing to the front, and the enemies around her fell down like blades of grass cut by a lawnmower.

However, Wendy's judgment when she launched the charge was actually a bit flawed - the sound of horseshoes she heard was not the large army arranged by Arina outside the village, but the Griffin Knights led by Li Ang...
