The forest is deep, and the sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, forming mottled light and shadow on the ground.
Lester hid motionless in front of the bushes, turning his eyes from time to time to look at the road not far away.
The road is flat and straight, leading through the forest to the distant east.
He is not alone here, there are more than fifty other people ambushing on both sides of the road.
They are skilled in martial arts and proficient in various combat skills. They are the elite warriors of the Royal Capital Knights.
The surroundings were very quiet, with a few birds chirping from time to time. Time passed slowly, one hour, two hours...
A slight thumping sound suddenly came from the distance, becoming increasingly clear.
Someone is riding a horse and galloping.
Lester held the crossbow arm tightly, his palms were covered with sweat, and his heart began to beat faster.
A burst of flying birds flew up, and as far as he could see, two knights suddenly turned out from the far corner of the road.
"Bait" is back!
The people on horseback shook the reins desperately, breathing heavily. It was obvious that someone was chasing them behind.
One of them had an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and the blood stained the surrounding area, making it red, which was shocking to see.
The other person freed up his hand and kept changing various gestures in mid-air.
"Thirty...cavalry...light armor..."
Lester murmured, deciphering their messages.
Most of the tension in my heart has disappeared.
I have the advantage of quantity.
The two knights did not stop and rode straight west along the road. Their figures were quickly lost in the dense forest.
After another ten minutes or so, the sound of horse hooves, much denser than before, reached my ears from far to near.
The orcs are coming!
A strong body, protruding canine teeth, fine fur all over the body, and a pair of vicious eyes that glow green.
They often come across as cruel and frightening.
And such a group of guys are chasing two human knights on horseback.
The leader of the team took the lead and ran ahead of his companions until the two humans dived into the dense forest.
The reins suddenly tightened, forcing the war horse to raise its front hooves and stop running amid a burst of dissatisfied neighing.
“Wuzige, why stop!”
“Haven’t you ever heard of a human saying, don’t enter the forest easily!”
“ Hahaha!" Some of his subordinates were dissatisfied with his caution, "Are you going to let go of your tongue because of your timidity?"
Urige snorted: "We are the proud sons of the grassland, but we are not familiar with strangers. We still have to be in awe of the forest! ”
But the subordinate said: "The powerful orcs are not afraid of any terrain. Admit it, Wurig, you are timid!"
Pa, the riding whip hit the face of the rude person hard.
“You!” Resentment appeared in the eyes of the beaten orc.
Uzhige raised his riding whip, "Don't forget that I won the Warriors' Game and became your commander. If you are capable, just beat me in the next game and then teach me a lesson."
The orcs on the opposite side did not dare to refute.
But Urige immediately ordered: "I changed my mind, continue the pursuit! Let's go!"
After saying that, he slapped the horse's butt, and the war horse raised its four hooves and rushed deep into the forest!
The subordinates also urged their mounts to quickly follow their leader.
The orcs ran hundreds of meters in the forest, surrounded by trees, and could no longer see the situation outside the forest.
“We should spread out more and not crowd together on the narrow road!”
Just as this idea came to Urige's mind, a black rope-like object suddenly bounced up from the flat road ahead.
Not good! The war horse under his crotch did not react in time, and his front hoof tripped on the rope.
It screamed in terror, and its huge body fell to the side uncontrollably.
Wurige above could not control his mount, and the force from the horse threw him to the ground.
At the same time, a series of piercing sounds suddenly sounded.
Phew! call out! call out!
Suddenly there was severe pain in his arm, and something broke through the flesh and penetrated deeply into it.
"Ah!" The orcs who were still rolling on the ground shouted, "There is an ambush!"
Black arrows shot like rain from the woods on the roadside, and the orcs and Their horses were constantly hit by arrows, and screams could be heard in the forest.
Clang!
Of course the orcs would not sit still and wait for death. They drew their weapons one after another and raised the light shields they carried with them to resist the arrows.
Because they were in the forest, the orcs had jumped off their horses to fight on foot, using their mounts as cover.
The rain of arrows paused for a while, and countless figures sprang out from the dense forests on both sides, charging towards the orc cavalry.
“Despicable humans!”
The orcs, who realized they had entered a trap, were not timid and rushed forward with roars.
The two sides fought in a melee, and fierce shouts of killing floated through the forest into the distance.
As the leader of this orc team, Wurige secretly thought something was wrong. In his haste, he could only realize that the opponent's number was greater than his own.
He had jumped up from the ground, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow from his arm.
The flesh and blood brought out by the barb made him grin.
Danger is approaching!
Cang!
The collision of the metal blades shot out large sparks in mid-air. The orc held a knife in his left hand and blocked the fatal blow.
Wuzige turned his head, and his eyes that were about to spit out flames met the pupils of a young human.
Lester resisted the huge force coming from the hilt of the sword, secretly shocked in his heart.
Like the tall orc in front of him, many people on the other side had already been hit by arrows, but they still had the energy to fight.
“Haah!”
Lester felt that as the orc in front of him roared, a substantive aura burst out from his body.
Coupled with the ferocious face and tall body, if it were an ordinary human soldier, his psychological defenses would have been defeated by fear.
But Lester is also a knight who has received martial arts training since childhood, and he is also the best among his peers.
He calmly waved the long sword in his hand, defusing the opponent's furious attacks time and time again.
The human in front of me is so capable of fighting?
Since entering human territory, Uzhige has become accustomed to seeing the frightened expressions of these weak Aldo aliens when they see their backs.
Facing this guy who dared to ambush him, he became more and more angry and began to lose his mind.
Seeing that the human on the opposite side was exposed due to dodging.
"Die!" He gathered all his strength, raised his sword high and struck at the opponent.
But the imagined scene of cutting the opponent in two did not appear.
On the contrary, the human turned around deftly and thrust the long sword in his hand into his own ribs.
"Uh-huh..."
Feeling the severe pain in his upper body, Uzhige closed his eyes unwillingly.
The huge body fell to the ground.
Lester panted and looked around.
The melee was coming to an end, and our side finally won by virtue of their numerical advantage.
When the last orc was killed, the human side also paid a dozen casualties.
Sorry, I worked overtime last night and came home late, so I didn’t finish writing before going to bed.
