Chapter 147 Testing each other

Wasteland, ancient road, motorcade moving slowly.

The sun is setting, and the cavalry is lined up with swords and guns.

The convoy drifted further and further away, disappearing into the wasteland and never being seen again.

The setting sun gradually sets, disappearing into the distant sky without a trace of afterglow.

Just when darkness was about to completely cover the entire wilderness, the sound of hooves sounded again on the ancient road, and two cavalrymen were galloping on the ancient road one after the other.

Running in front was a tall, vigorous lion. On the lion's back was a sword-carrying lion man wearing golden soft leather armor and a red cloak. He was the Golden Lion Guard, the most elite orc warrior under Lion King Elliot. The lion guard's mount is also a lion that is more majestic and fierce than the war.

Following the Golden Lion Guard is the wolf cavalry, the most common among the orcs, but the war under the knight is a rare white color, and its body is much larger than the common war.

These two cavalry are the reconnaissance cavalry of the Hicks Orc Guard. Not only are there cavalry scouting in front of the convoy, but reconnaissance cavalry are also released far behind and on the left and right sides to provide advance warning of those approaching the convoy from any direction. Danger.

 A sharp arrow shot out from the grass beside the ancient road without any warning, and went straight to the neck of the wolf cavalry behind.

 The well-trained wolf cavalry reacted the moment the arrows broke through the wind. They turned their heads and reached out to draw the long sword at their waist.

His sword was only halfway drawn out when a figure sprang out from the grass next to the ancient road. He arrived behind the wolf cavalry almost in a flash, and ripped open the wolf cavalry's throat in a flash of cold light.

 The whole movement is as fast as a ghost and done in one go.

Hearing the movement behind him, the Golden Lion Guard turned to look back, but the moment he turned his head, another figure jumped up from the grass, and three silver stars pierced his chest.

The Golden Lion Guard reacted instantly. He kicked off his feet and flew backwards from the lion's back. While flying backwards, he drew the long sword from his back.

Ge Li's sneak attack failed. The spear turned into a straight line and stabbed again, directly at the vital point between the Lion Guard's eyebrows.

 The Lion Guard blocks with his horizontal sword.

The spear flicked, then changed its moves in the middle, flicking out three spear lights, piercing the throat and hanging on the left and right chests.

 The Lion Guard's complexion changed, and he rushed forward sideways, slashing with his big sword in a desperate attempt to exchange injuries for injuries.

Ge Li withdrew her gun and dodged the sword coming from the front of the Golden Lion Guard.

The Golden Lion Guard looked happy and took advantage of the situation to continue rushing forward, hoping to get rid of Ge Li's entanglement and escape.

This is obviously a premeditated ambush. As a scout, his duty is not to fight the opponent desperately, but to pass back the information about the attack.

The Lion Guard just took a step forward. Unexpectedly, the spear that Ge Li withdrew made an arc and swept towards his face.

The "Hundred Birds Shooting the Phoenix" passed down by Grand Duke Ross was unpredictable, and the Golden Lion Guard was eager to get rid of it, and was completely unprepared for the shot that Ge Li took to the calf.

 The lower leg bone is the most fragile part of the body, regardless of human or animal species. There was a crisp sound, and the Lion Guard's calf bone was broken by a shot, and he screamed and fell forward.

 Gold followed up with a shot and stabbed him in the back of the heart, stabbing the Golden Lion Guard to the ground.

Arthur, Huey, and Joan all gathered around. There was no trace of joy on the faces of these people that the ambush was successful, but solemn expressions on their faces.

This is just a tentative attack. The combat power of the orc guards from the Royal Guards is still expected, but the Golden Lion Guard does live up to its reputation. Even a sneak attack by a top-level combat power like Gel would take a lot of effort. If ordinary soldiers from the cavalry regiment faced off, maybe seven or eight people could hold off a Golden Lion Guard.

What is scary is that there are still forty-nine such Golden Lion Guards, not to mention the more powerful orc warriors above.

　　The challenge faced by Arthur and the others is far more difficult than imagined!

 The night was already deep, but the lights were still on in the golden-roofed tent of the orcs' temporary camp.

 The old fox-man priest walked into the golden-domed tent with a hurried expression.

"It's so late and the old priest hasn't rested yet?" Hills, who was sitting cross-legged to practice fighting spirit, opened his eyes.

"Something happened. The two reconnaissance cavalry sent out from behind did not return to camp as scheduled after the stipulated time." The old priest had a trace of anxiety on his face.

"Don't report such small matters to me anymore, just let Captain Nuha handle it directly."

"The matter is a bit strange. It has exceeded Captain Nuha's authority, so I have no choice but to come so late and disturb His Highness the Prince's rest."

Hicks let out a light sigh, "Is there anything that Captain Nuha and the old priest can't decide?"

"Captain Nuha has sent two Golden Lion Guards and a small team of Wolf Cavalry along the way to find the two missing scouts. The team has been sent out for a long time, but no news has come back. We guess They must have encountered the same accident as the two scouts."

Hicks stood up from the ground and paced back and forth in the room, "Then how are you going to deal with this matter?"

"Captain Nuha planned to lead a team of cavalry to investigate in person, but I did not agree. Captain Nuha is waiting for your orders outside the account at any time."

 "Why?"

"I'm worried that I fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Losing one or two teams of cavalry is nothing. Prince, your safety here is the most important!" the fox priest said solemnly.

"Old priest, you are right. If the enemy has prepared a pocket for us to get into, it would be foolish to jump in desperately." Hicks was also very cautious in handling this matter.

"Start with the scouts. The other party's purpose is probably to target His Highness the Prince. We need to prepare early." The old priest said hesitantly.

"Who could have done it? Is it the human cavalry you mentioned?" Hicks's eyes shone with inexplicable excitement.

The old priest shook his head slowly, "Now that we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, it's hard to tell. It could be the human cavalry, but it could also be one of our own?"

"Our own people? Who gave them the courage to take action against our Golden Lion family? Aren't they afraid of being exterminated?"

"The border area has never been peaceful. Many unruly hunting teams are wandering in this area. In addition to crossing the border and looting human villages and towns, they also loot our own tribes and caravans. In addition, there are some tribes that are attacking us and the 'Blood Flame Wolf' The old priest gave a detailed introduction to the situation in the border area.

"You mean this thing could have been done by the Blood Flame Wolf?"

"I mean, including the human cavalry, there are many forces that may pose a threat to His Highness's safety?"

Hicks sneered, "I really thought the Golden Lion and I, Hicks, were inseparable from each other. I'm just waiting here to see who dares to show his face in the end."

"Your Highness, please don't act on your impulse. This place is isolated and helpless. Even if you plan to lure them out, you can't stay here." The old priest quickly advised.

 "What does the old priest mean?"

"If we move, the other side will definitely follow suit. This place is less than eighty miles away from the Toto tribe. The Toto tribe has been loyal to the Golden Lion Family for generations. My suggestion is that we set off overnight and rush to the Toto tribe. If we travel all the way, We can reach the Toto tribe in the middle of the night."

Hicks smiled disdainfully, "No, let's go slowly. I want to see who will show up in the end?"
