Chapter 188 Herd

Four days later.

The sky was bright.

The clouds were accumulating, the sky was gray and gloomy, and it was raining lightly. The rain was blown by the slanting wind and stretched out, like thin transparent lines, swaying in the wind.

Where vast emerald green hills meet grasslands.

A long carriage caravan was slowly rushing along the gray carriage road towards Huiyun City.

Most of the caravans were gray-white and black tent trucks, and some of the goods were covered with silver fiber cloth to block the light.

In the middle of the motorcade, a two-wheeled carriage slowed down, the gorgeous carriage door was opened, and a young and fair noble girl stepped out and sat in the back seat of the carriage.

"Is this the Solidar Caravan, Uncle Dunleavy?" the girl asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Miss, Solida is a large joint caravan company that often travels to and from this trade route from Fragrant Wood City to Rustaway Province in the middle of the empire." Dunleavy explained with a smile.

They met the caravan halfway and joined it after some negotiation.

Exiting the Traolin area is the Resting Grassland.

It's not peaceful here, it's very chaotic, with robbers and bandits infested, as well as countless scavenging wolves and various ferocious beasts.

Dunleavy was confident that he could protect the girl through the grassland safely, but he happened to meet the Solidad caravan, so he joined them. Following them would save a lot of trouble.

Because generally large caravans will have a safe and mature channel to pass through here.

"oh oh."

The girl nodded. She held her chin with one hand and stared blankly at the caravan carriages, falling into a trance.

"Miss, look, what is that?" Dunleavy pointed to a strange-looking machine on the carriage in the distance.

The machine was so large that it occupied the entire carriage. There were eight spindles on the outer metal frame, two wheel-like spinners, and hundreds of spindle-like objects distributed on them.

"Textile machine?" The girl was not sure.

She had seen looms, and she had one at home. She even quietly asked her maid to teach her how to use it, but the one on the carriage was not quite like it because there were too many spindles.

"Yes... I don't know either." Dunleavy laughed, earning a big eye roll from the girl.

After the start of the Industrial Revolution, society was changing with each passing day. Everything was like a big explosion. New, strange and weird things could be seen on the market every day.

"Sisi, that's a steam spinning machine, a new thing just invented by the Manufacturing Bureau, which can automatically weave cloth."

A handsome young man wearing white clothes came over on horseback. He had fair skin, a high nose, and a mixed-race smell. He also had a beautiful long sword on his waist.

"Visile, you know so much." Si Si's praising eyes made the young man straighten his back unconsciously.

Just as Weisier was about to continue speaking, he suddenly heard a noise that seemed to come from not far ahead.

"what happened?"

"do not know?"

"Wolves! It's a pack of scavenging wolves!"

The last high-pitched cry came, and Si Si was so frightened that his body trembled, and his face turned slightly pale when he heard that it was a pack of wolves.

"Don't worry Sisi, it's just a small pack of wolves. What are we afraid of with so many people? Besides, I'm here and I will protect you with my life!" Visil did not panic, but placed his long sword across the horse's back. Go up and put on a fighting posture at any time.

He really didn't panic. This was the second time he encountered a pack of scavenging wolves, and the first time he killed one under his father's protection.

Dunleavy nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Visil was already a junior knight squire at a young age, and now it seems that his mental quality is pretty good.

He could read Visil's thoughts.

It's just that Visile is only the son of a baron, and the city of Hori where his family is located is far away from Si Si's family. Viscount Phil probably won't agree.

"Thank you..." Weisier's words made Sisi blush slightly, and he whispered his thanks.

At this time, the noise suddenly became louder and more panicked, and the caravan had already sounded the horn of defense.

"Not only scavenging wolves, but also ground-thorned rhinos!"

"Not one, but a group of them!"

Visil's expression changed slightly. The ground-thorned rhinoceros was much more difficult to deal with than the scavenger wolf. One-on-one, he was probably no match.

However, he still calmed down and comforted:

"Don't worry, Sisi. As long as my father is here, the ground-thorned rhino is not worth mentioning. He will kill them all in minutes with one sword strike."

Dunleavy frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

The presence of scavenging wolves on this route is understandable.

Because wolves like to wander around looking for food, but ground-spined rhinos are different. They have a fixed territory and will not leave easily unless they encounter irresistible danger.

Dunleavy gently placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"What's going on? Why did a pack of scavenging wolves and ground-thorned rhinos suddenly appear at the same time?" A middle-aged noble man walked out of the carriage behind and asked in confusion.

"Uncle Phil, maybe the wolves are chasing the rhinoceros." Visil guessed. Phil shook his head, thinking it was impossible.

The overall strength of the scavenging wolves is equivalent to that of the ground-thorned rhino. Unless the wolves are hungry, they will not hunt the ground-thorned rhinoceros.

woo woo woo...

The sound of the trumpet suddenly changed, and the sound was rapid and sharp.

This is the signal that summons everyone in the caravan to the defense, and is only sounded in the face of a major crisis.

"Oh my God, there are resting wind lions behind me!"

"It's over, it's over now!"

"Why is there a resting wind lion here?!"

Dunleavy's expression changed drastically, he stood up suddenly, summoned the knights of the Phil family to form a defensive formation, and surrounded the panicked Viscount Phil and the girl Si Si in the middle.

Visil's face turned pale, and he didn't care about pretending to pick up girls here. He flattered her and ran towards his carriage.

The Anxi wind lion, named after the Anxi grassland, is one of the top predators in this vast grassland.

When they reach adulthood, they can compete with high-level knights and attendants. The king of the lions can control the power of the wind, and is extremely powerful, equivalent to the extraordinary knight level.

At this time.

A sharp and majestic aura rose from the front and rear of the caravan, and suddenly a circle of transparent air ripples opened up, echoing each other one after another, wrapping the entire caravan inside.

This is the caravan's guard knight order issuing a warning!

Warn the herd not to approach the caravan.

Upon seeing this, Dunleavy immediately jumped onto the carriage, stood on the roof and drew his sword, stimulating his knightly aura.

far away.

Hundreds of black scavenging wolves led the way, rushing towards the caravan like a black tide.

Behind them were hundreds of three-meter-high ground-spiked rhinoceroses with a pair of antelope-like black curved horns on both sides of their ears. They were covered in thick scales.

Roar! ! !

Behind them, resting wind lions as tall as one person looked up to the sky and let out a shrill roar. There were more than thirty of them.

Two of them were unusually tall, with neat and dense manes on their backs exuding a light cyan halo. When running, the manes fluttered in the wind, forming a faint light cyan wind belt in the air.

The three quickly mixed together, but strangely they did not have any conflict. They were overwhelming and running like a swarm of ants, rushing straight towards the caravan.

It felt like Dunveli was...running for his life?

"What's going on? Is there a beast wave?"

Viscount Phil also climbed onto the roof of the car at this time. Seeing this sea of ​​ferocious beasts, his right hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking as if he was suffering from epilepsy.

"why why!"

"I have walked this route more than ten times, and except for the occasional wolf pack, I have never encountered so many ferocious beasts!"

In a carriage next to him, a middle-aged driver was trembling and muttering to himself.

Sisi pursed her lips and put on the armor handed over by the family knight. Although she couldn't see the beasts, a feeling of fear arose in her heart from the panic and despair of the people around her.

Dunweili's expression turned extremely ugly when he sensed the two resting wind lions in the herd.

Three knights face off against two resting wind lion kings. The odds of winning are very high and can be solved after spending a certain amount of time.

But, what to do with the other resting wind lions?

There are also scavenging wolves and ground-thorned rhinos, which is a disaster for the rest of the caravan.

Facing so many ferocious beasts and amid the chaos, he could not guarantee the safety of everyone in Phil's family.

Sudden.

Deng Weili's pupils shrank sharply.

A dozen black spots appeared behind the herd.

If you look closely, you will see galloping armored horses and the black-armored knights driving them.

Dunweili felt a vague sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

As the war horse rose and fell, a dark red pattern like a sharp sword caught his eye.

It's the Soros family!

It was the group of black-armored knights from the Soros family that he met in the town of Phusa six days ago!

Dunwilly's expression suddenly became extremely exciting.

Why are they here, and judging from this situation, it seems that they are chasing these ferocious beasts?

Suddenly he had a bold guess in his mind.
