Lord Highlander

   Chapter 383 382. Night Fog

When Suldak and the guards of the Christie family rushed to the depths of the oak forest, the scene was already under control. A group of young nobles surrounded five fierce and swift glazed beasts in the forest glade. Darcy Christie and Leonard and his group were also involved. They seemed to be one step ahead of Suldak and the others. Dacie Christie held a sword in both hands and continuously attacked a glazed beast from the front.

  Two young nobles guarded her left and right sides, preventing the glazed beast from injuring Daqian with a counterattack before it died.

  The glazed beast's movements were as fast as lightning, and its body appeared and disappeared in the snow. However, when it was hiding, it was found by Dacie Christie repeatedly. At this time, it was covered with scars, and blood was everywhere on the snow.

The other four glazed beasts were also entangled by the nobles. They realized that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, but the surrounding oak trees were full of young nobles holding bows. The way they escape will be filled with feather arrows, which will force them to stop or change their path, and the young nobles who catch up from behind will catch up and fight again.

Although these glazed beasts belong to the second-level monsters, they are best at concealment and ambush. Once they lose these two fighting methods, they can only fight with fangs and claws and instinct. For the nobles who graduated from here, hunting glazed beasts can just show their strength.

  As more and more people rushed over and built a human-walled encirclement at the outermost edge, it became even more difficult for the five glazed beasts to escape.

Dacie Christie had told these guards that they were not allowed to act unless they were in a critical situation, so everyone could only watch the show from the sidelines. Suldak looked at the blood-stained glazed beast fleeing in embarrassment in the snow, and also No mood to come forward to help.

  In any form of hunting, the hunter is on the cruel side, and Suldak hopes that this kind of battle scene will end as soon as possible.

In the mountain forest, once the sun sets, the sky will quickly darken. The hunting activity finally ended at dusk. The guards from the Christie Manor have already blown the assembled horns in the forest, calling to the people in the oak forest. The young nobles came out of the forest.

Dacie Christie looked hearty. An adult male glazed beast died under her sword. This was to be recorded in the trophy list. It was regarded as a recognition of her own ability. Swordsman Leonard on the side also participated In this battle, his leather armor was even stained with some glass beast blood. At this time, his shortness of breath had not yet calmed down. He was excitedly discussing something with Darcy Christie. He looked at Leonard with admiration, but held a certain amount of hostility towards Darcy Christie.

It wasn't until the battle was over that Miss Hoyle, Miss Fanny and others came out from the opposite oak forest. They were just witnesses to the hunt. Miss Hoyle seemed a little excited. She ran behind Darcy, curiously Look at the shiny glazed beast.

  The guards in Christie's Manor stepped forward to help Dacie Christie carry the glazed beast.

  Other teams are also sorting out their trophies. The five glazed beasts gave this winter hunting an excellent start. At least back in Hailansa City, everyone has something to show off.

   "Let's go, if you don't go, it will be dark." Karl stood behind Suldak, patted him on the shoulder and said.

   Mrs. Christie stood beside Carl, and at this moment, she walked towards Miss Hoyle. Llewellyn and Bird Tax Collector were also in the crowd.

   "Tsk tsk, you can still see glazed beasts here..." Suldak exclaimed.

   "Since I can remember, there has never been such a big cat in the suburbs of Hailansa City. We are really lucky." Carl said with a sneer.

   "You mean these glazed beasts were deliberately arranged?" Suldak asked in surprise.

   "I didn't say that..." Although he categorically denied it, the information revealed in his eyes clearly felt that these glazed beasts might be free-range.

   During this hunt, several young nobles were slightly injured. The young noble who was injured the most was a wound cut on his arm by the sharp claws of the glazed beast, but it had been properly bandaged at this time.

  …

  At dusk, a thin layer of mist suddenly floated in the oak forest.

At the beginning, it was like a wisp of green smoke, slowly gathering into a green veil, until the fog completely covered the distant mountain scenery, and Suldak and Karl realized that something was wrong. The guards also noticed that something was a little strange. They had already started to approach Darcy Christie slowly. In times of danger, the first people they protected were naturally the members of the Christie family.

"Why is it foggy?" Suldak stretched out his hand and felt a biting coldness in the air. At first he thought it was because the temperature in the forest dropped suddenly after the sun went down, but now he suddenly Feeling a little abnormal, he asked Carl, "How can there be fog in this season?"

   "I don't know, I've never encountered such a thing." Carl said.

   After speaking, he walked towards Mrs. Christie.

   Once you lose your sense of direction in such a thick fog and are not familiar with the surrounding environment at all, that is the worst.

Suldak took the reins of Gu Bolai's horse and walked over closely, but the old horse was obviously agitated at this time. It resisted Suldak and kept stomping on the horse's hooves, hitting the ground. The snow splashed everywhere, and seemed to want to leave here quickly.

   "Be quiet, old man!" Suldak pacified the mane of Guberai's neck with his hands, and followed Karl firmly.

  However, he still took out the dwarven chain shield from his magic pocket and carried it behind his back. When fighting like this, he can hold the shield in his hand as quickly as possible. As a shield warrior who came out of the infantry regiment, only with the sword and shield in his hand can he feel safe in his heart.

  He also wanted to try to condense the 'power aura' under his feet, but unfortunately he had just learned this knight skill, and he was a little nervous, which made him forget how to operate the sacred breath in his body.

   Seeing Karl coming towards him from the fog, the panic on Mrs. Christie's face disappeared, and she waved to Karl excitedly.

   Behind Karl was Suldak who was leading the horse. Seeing Suldak, Dacie Christie's eyes also brightened slightly, and she nodded to Suldak a little reservedly.

  Under the heavy fog, the temperature dropped sharply.

The winter clothes worn by the ladies seemed a bit flimsy, especially Miss Hoyle, Mrs. Christie, and Miss Fanny were all shivering in the thick fog, and their faces were even covered with a layer of hoarfrost, as if they had been covered with heavy cream. opera dancers with makeup.

The knights and men are also very cold, but their physique is better than that of women after all. Karl took off his cloak and wrapped it thoughtfully around Mrs. Christie, which moved Mrs. Christie. With her niece beside her, she might throw herself into Carl's arms and give her a passionate kiss.

  In fact, Leonard also wanted to show off by giving up his cloak to Dacie Christie, but at the moment Dacie Christie did not have any communication with him, Dacie instead glanced at Suldak at the side. Miss Fanny took the opportunity to gently tug on Leonard's arm, and looked at Leonard proudly. The look clearly wanted Leonard to show a gentleman's demeanor, and Leonard couldn't do it no matter how reluctant he was. To show it, he could only put the cloak on Miss Fanny against the severe cold.

Suldak felt Dacie Christie's expectant eyes, but he did not take off the cloak on his body, but took out a thick fur cloak from his magic pouch, and stuffed it directly into Dacie Christie. The fur cloak was prepared for himself before he returned to Wall Village. He couldn't wear such a heavy and thick cloak for hunting, so he put this cloak in his magic pocket.

  Dacy Christie was so angry that she gave Suldak a white look. Of course, she didn't lack cold clothes, she just wanted Suldak to show off at this time.

  Miss Hoyle's face was pale with cold, and the young nobles beside her had no intention of giving up the cloak to her.

Tax Collector Byrd was hesitating whether to take off his cloak and pass it over. Before he could put his thoughts into action, Darcy Christie wrapped Miss Hoyle tightly with a thick fur cloak, And said to the two guards around him: "The task of the two of you is to take care of Hoyle!"

  Two guards immediately guarded the left and right sides of Miss Hoyle. It seemed that Darcy and Hoyle, the cousins, still had a very good relationship.

Under the heavy fog, everyone did not continue to stay in the oak forest, nor did they have time to reorganize and gather. Instead, they formed several teams on the spot and walked towards the frozen lake along the direction in memory. Such a heavy fog, No one was riding a horse, and occasionally they could see other teams who were also groping forward more than ten meters away.

   "Everyone try not to get separated, it is easy to get lost in such a thick fog, everyone should take care of each other!"

   A rough voice shouted in the mist not far away.

  The voice was strong and powerful, giving the other teams who were a little flustered in the fog regained some confidence.

That strong voice wanted everyone to get together, but Darcy Christie, who had a lot of guards, was obviously not in the mood. She kept walking towards the manor beside the frozen lake, as if she didn't intend to take care of other people. , Just like in the hills and grasslands of Handanal County, she didn't care about Hathaway and Beatrice at the time.

"ah!"

   There was a scream in the distance, and the sound spread far away.

  Someone from the surrounding teams asked loudly, "What happened?"

  Someone in the mist cried loudly, "Someone in our team has been attacked!"

Although Darcy Christie was somewhat reluctant, she saw that the guards around her were looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to give the order to rush to the rescue. At this time, it was not good to leave directly with a group of guards, so she asked: "Where are you?"

When Dacie Christie led everyone to rush over, I saw a group of people gathered together, and some small teams approached, Dacie Christie separated from the crowd and walked in, followed by Suldak, clearly seeing some There was still a hint of panic on the person's face, and he saw that the leather armor on the chest of the young nobleman surrounded by him had a big cut. If there was no armor piece on the neck to prevent throat cutting, he might have died at this moment. He fell to the ground in a different place.

  Even so, his leather armor was cut with a wound half a foot long, and the collar of the leather armor was cut open, just a little bit cutting his throat.

  He was covered in blood, and he didn't know whether he was scared or lost too much blood, and his eyes full of fear kept looking around.

   "Mowen, who injured you, the beast or the robber?" Darcy Christie walked over, looked at the young nobleman with a serious face, and called out his name.

The young nobleman woke up from his panic, and explained to Darcy Christie: "I didn't see anything, I just felt a white light flashing in front of my eyes, and it was hidden in the mist... It's Nightmare Knight, it must be It's Nightmare Knight..."

"If it's really a Nightmare Knight, I'm afraid you will be split into two pieces at this moment. The magic blade in their hands won't be able to split even the sub-dragon scale." Karl took half of the sub-dragon scale in his hand and weighed it twice. Said to the young nobleman.

   Someone was already helping the young nobleman to treat the wound, so Suldak didn't push forward.

  The young nobleman had a submissive look on his face and lacked confidence, so he could only say: "Maybe! I only see white shadows."

"Everyone get together as much as possible, and evacuate from this oak forest as soon as possible." A strong man led a group of people over from the fog, and said in a deep voice as he walked. Someone in their team seemed to be injured, but their mental state was still there. Yes, the most rare thing is that under the leadership of a strong man, the fighting spirit of the team members is high.

Just as everyone continued to **** forward, a white sickle appeared out of thin air at the edge of the team. The sickle slashed across the neck of a nobleman. The nobleman hurriedly backed away, but unexpectedly, the white sickle twisted , Like tarsal maggots rubbed on the neck of the young nobleman, his head rolled to the ground like a rotten cabbage, and he stood there for 5 seconds before he fell heavily on the ground.

  No one thought that the attacker would dare to attack the young noble under the watchful eyes of the public.

  The strong man ran over immediately, and found that there was no possibility of treatment, so he cursed: "Damn it, what the **** is this?"

  Carl, who was standing in the crowd, walked up with a serious face. Whenever there is a homicide outside Hailansa City, the Guard Battalion Response Squadron is required to intervene in the investigation.

   Therefore, Karl was obliged to do so. He and Suldak squatted beside the headless corpse, sighed and said, "The roles of hunter and prey have changed, could it be another glazed beast?"

   Seeing the neat cut marks, the head was clearly cut off by a sharp blade, Suldak shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like that."

   "..."
