MTL - Bloodline Lord of War-Chapter 127 cavalry standoff
Chapter 127 Cavalry confrontation
The sky is gradually getting brighter, a red sun slowly climbs out of the horizon, and the morning sky is as clear as washing. On the vast grassland, a group of cavalry is advancing rapidly to the south.
Baron Baron ran at the head of the team on horseback. Behind him, an officer accelerated to catch up and begged loudly: "My lord, please rest for a while. After running all night, the guards are exhausted."
Balong heard the words and looked back, only to see that the guards behind him all looked exhausted, and everyone's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
In fact, Baron himself was already exhausted. From midnight to morning, they ran for their lives non-stop, without stopping once. Everyone's physical strength had reached the limit. And not only the people couldn't stand it, but the war horses under them couldn't stand it either, panting heavily, and their running speed gradually slowed down.
Baron reckoned that after they had fled for so long, Robin probably wouldn't be able to catch up. Maybe at this time Robin was searching for treasures in the Wind Castle, so he had no time to take care of him.
So, Baron pulled the reins abruptly, and the horse under his crotch stopped slowly: "Okay, everyone, let's rest where we are."
As if they had received an amnesty, the guards hurriedly got off their horses and sat on the grass.
"Hello, is there any water?" A guard asked.
Another person replied: "There is one last bite left."
They fled in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to refill their canteens.
The personal guard unscrewed the kettle and was about to moisten his throat when the officer strode over and snatched the kettle from the personal guard.
"The baron is thirsty, bear with it." The officer said coldly, turned around and handed the kettle to Baron, and immediately put on a flattering expression. "My lord, please drink some water."
Baron's throat was already dry and smoking, and he drank the last bit of water in two gulps after taking the kettle. He also knew that other people were also very thirsty, so he stood up and said to the guards:
"Everyone has worked hard all the way, I know you are all tired and thirsty, just keep going, as long as you get to Rose Castle, I promise to make you drink until you vomit!"
After finishing speaking, Baron took out more than a dozen gold coins from his body and handed them to the officer, asking him to distribute them to the guards.
"This is just a reward, and I, Baron, will not treat you badly."
Although the bodyguards were hungry and tired, the heavy gold coins were delivered to their hands, and the resentment in their hearts dissipated a lot immediately.
After a short rest, Baron thought it was time to set off. Just as he stood up, the officer next to him seemed to notice something, and suddenly shouted: "Lord Baron, someone is coming over there."
The officer looked nervous and stretched out his finger to the south.
Baron looked in the direction of the officer's finger, and saw that on the vast grassland, one man and one horse were rapidly approaching them.
Balon frowned slightly in doubt. Because the distance was too far, he looked down on the opponent's appearance for a while, and the opponent came from the south, so he didn't think it was the pursuers of Raging Waves City.
However, when the man got closer and Baron saw his appearance clearly, his expression changed drastically, and it turned out that it was Robin!
Robin rode on the horse, sprinted at full speed, and quickly approached Baron and the others.
He followed the traces left by Baron along the way, but unexpectedly, by mistake, he chased him too far, then turned around and blocked back, and sure enough, he blocked Baron and his party.
Seeing Robin, Baron was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. He hurriedly got on his horse and ordered his guards: "Stop him!"
The loyal officer got on his horse and drew his sword, shouting loudly: "Protect the baron!"
The guards also drew their knives one after another, and rode up to meet Robin. But Baron himself hastily turned his horse's head and fled in the opposite direction.
Robin and the pro-guards rushed at each other, and the two sides soon fought hand to hand. The officer ran first, roaring with angry eyes, and slashed at Robin's chest with the knife in his hand.
Robin swung the big sword with one hand, and slashed at the officer's saber with force. The two weapons collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The officer's strength was no match for Robin's, and he was swept off his horse by Robin's sword, and he flew backwards.
A personal guard followed behind the officer and slashed at Robin's head with a knife. Robin lowered his head and easily dodged his blade. On his chest, the tip of the sword protruded from his back, and with the help of the horse's forward momentum, he poked his whole body off the horse's back.
Robin flicked his sword hard, throwing the guard off his sword. At this time, two more personal guards rushed towards him, one from the left and the other from the right. The two shot at the same time, and the two sabers slashed at Robin together.
Robin was not in a hurry, his legs suddenly exerted strength, and he jumped off the horse all at once, flew up two or three meters, leaped forward over the blades of the two guards, and then fell back safely Chong on the horseback.
The two guards were stunned. They hurriedly stopped and looked at each other, seeing shock and fear in each other's eyes.
The enemy's target is obviously Baron Baron, and the two guards can't help but hesitate. This enemy is too strong, they are not opponents at all, do they really want to risk their lives for Baron Baron?
While the two were hesitating, Robin cut down the last guard. He turned his horse's head and saw that the remaining two guards didn't catch up, but just looked at him from a distance.
"Do you want to fight again?" Robin asked loudly, shaking off the blood on the blade.
The two guards looked at Robin with fear on their faces, at a loss, neither daring to step forward nor run away.
"Get out! If you don't get out, you will die!" Robin frowned and shouted like a ghost.
The sound frightened the two guards. They immediately turned around and fled in the opposite direction.
Robin didn't bother to care about them either. His target was Balon, so he turned around and chased after Balon.
Balon rode away for a while, he wanted to know how the guards and Robin were fighting, so he looked back. But when he turned around, he was shocked to find that Robin was chasing after him!
Baron was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
"Damn it, can't this group of trash delay even a minute?" Baron cursed angrily.
At this time, Baron suddenly saw a group of cavalry appearing on the wasteland ahead!
This team of cavalry is large in number, roughly estimated to be thousands of people, and they are rushing towards Baron. When the two sides got closer, Baron saw clearly the flags carried by the cavalry, and he was immediately overjoyed.
The flag on the white background has a golden rose painted on it, which is the cavalry of the Golden Rose family!
"Master Vaughan is here to save me!" Baron was trembling with excitement, his face couldn't help showing an expression of ecstasy, he finally saw the hope of surviving.
When Baron saw the Golden Rose flag, Robin also saw it. He knew the flag of the Golden Rose family, so he naturally knew that these were the cavalry of the Golden Rose family.
Once Baron joins the cavalry, it will be difficult for Robin to kill him.
At this time, the two of them were separated by about fifty meters, one behind the other. Robin tossed the big sword lightly, then grabbed the hilt of the sword with his backhand, using the big sword as a spear, twisted his waist and swung his arms on the horse's back, and shot at Barbara. Long threw it hard.
The two-handed sword is not suitable for throwing weapons, but under Robin's superb martial arts skills, the sword shot straight at Baron like an off-string arrow. The power is obvious. The sharp friction between the tip of the sword and the air produced There was an ear-shattering explosion, like a thunderclap on the flat ground.
The great sword flew across the distance between the two of them in an instant, and then slammed into Baron's horse's ass. The war horse under his crotch neighed in pain immediately, and his huge body fell to the grass, and Baron was also thrown off the horse's back.
Robin seized the opportunity to speed up and rushed over, ran to Baron's side, and jumped off the horse before the horse stopped.
Balon got up from the ground in a hurry, seeing that he couldn't escape, he immediately drew the cross sword on his waist, a layer of grudge burst out from the surface of his body, and he was ready for a desperate fight.
"Robin, as long as you let me go, I will give you the Wind Castle. From now on, I will never set foot in the wasteland again, and I will give you a large sum of gold coins!" Baron begged nervously.
Robin didn't believe him at all, pulled out the dagger from his right thigh, and walked towards Baron with a stern expression: "Only the dead will not pose a threat to me. From the moment you send troops to Rage City, your end will be determined." There is only one, and that is death!"
"If you don't let me live, you can't live either!"
Baron roared angrily, and rushed towards Robin, with a vindictive light on the blade, and slashed at Robin's head.
A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Robin's mouth, he easily dodged Baron's sword sideways, held the dagger in his backhand, and stabbed it into Baron's stomach.
Baron was wearing armor, but it didn't play its due role at all. Robin's dagger flashed with lightning, piercing his armor with ease.
Balong screamed in pain, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground with unsteady feet. Robin stepped forward and kicked Baron's chin with his foot. Baron's head was raised upwards, a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth, and there were a few teeth, and he fell to the grass.
Robin walked up to Baron, grabbed his hair and lifted him up, put the dagger on his neck, just about to cut his throat. At this time, the cavalry of the Golden Rose arrived.
The 1,000-man cavalry stopped aggressively 20 meters away. Vaughan, dressed in beautiful silver armor, rode forward and shouted, "Stop!"
Robin looked up, but the knife in his hand was still on Baron's neck.
When Baron saw Vaughan, it was like seeing a savior. With blood in his mouth, he hurriedly shouted, "Master Vaughn, help me!"
Vaughn's face was cold, and he looked at Robin sharply. He shouted: "You are Baron Robin, I am the son of the Duke of Gold Rose, and my name is Vaughn. Let Baron go, and I will let you go, otherwise, you You have to die here!"
After he finished speaking, the cavalry in the first row immediately raised their lances in unison, and made a gesture of preparing for battle.
These cavalrymen wore uniform standard armor with the family emblem of a golden rose printed on their chests. They were imposing, and there was no doubt that as long as Vaughan gave an order, they would rush towards Robin without hesitation.
Robin chuckled, he didn't believe Vaughn at all, and said, "I'm sure to kill Baron, no one can keep him."
After speaking, Robin cut Baron's neck open without hesitation.
Baron fell to the ground, his eyes widened in horror, and he held his neck tightly with both hands, but the blood still flowed out from the wound, soon staining his hands red. Like a drowning fish, he flopped a few times in the grass, then slowly calmed down, completely out of breath.
Robin held a **** dagger and stood in front of the Golden Rose cavalry with no fear on his face. Although he can't defeat a thousand cavalry alone, he is still confident in escaping.
Vaughn looked at the fallen Baron, with a shocked expression on his white face. He couldn't believe that Robin killed Baron in front of him!
The anger immediately ignited Vaughan, and he yelled at Robin angrily: "Robin, you have to pay for your actions, the cavalry..."
He was just about to order the cavalry to attack, but at this moment, a loud and long horn sounded suddenly from the distant wasteland.
Vaughn raised his head in astonishment, only to see another group of cavalry on the plain in the distance. This team of cavalry was even bigger, with about 2,000 people. They carried the flag of the Xueying family, and the leader was Knight Helen!
Robin also turned around, with a surprised expression on his face: "Why is Helen here?"
Helen led the team and stopped 20 meters behind Robin. The two cavalry teams were at war, and the cavalrymen on both sides were staring at each other closely. snorting, the atmosphere became extremely tense for a while.
Since Robin entered the wasteland, it was the first time he saw such a big scene. Three thousand cavalry confronted each other on the grassland. Such a situation is not common. And, behind these cavalry are the two most powerful families in the northern border, Snow Eagle and Golden Rose.
On the surface, it is a confrontation between two cavalry teams, but in fact, it is a confrontation between two big families.
Helen rode a war horse, walked forward in a calm manner, and stood beside Robin.
"Master Vaughan, it's been a long time." Helen said with a serious expression, neither humble nor overbearing.
Vaughn sneered, and said with something in his words: "Miss Helen, what a coincidence, I brought soldiers to the wasteland, and you also brought soldiers to the wasteland."
"Master Vaughan, you and my two families had an agreement before, and you can't directly intervene in the disputes on the wasteland. Please abide by our agreement. Now, I will take Robin away. If you want to stop me, then I will accompany you." in the end!"
The words Helen said were harder than iron, and there was no room for negotiation. After she finished speaking, the Snow Eagle cavalry behind them also immediately raised their lances in unison, ready to charge.
Vaughn's expression became ugly: "Miss Helen, are you really going to be here to cause a war between the two families for the sake of this little Baron pioneer? Is this not what Duke Snow Eagle wants to see?"
"It's because you didn't abide by the agreement first, Xue Ying, the only choice is to fight!" Helen didn't flinch, and even drew out her sword, completely in the posture of desperately fighting.
Vaughn looked at Helen, and then at the cavalry behind Helen. He is not as strong as the opponent now, and if he really fights, he will definitely suffer. After hesitating for a while, he finally didn't dare to start a war with Helen here.
"Well, I don't want to hurt the relationship between you and my family just because of a mere baron. Miss Helen, today, I'll betray you." Be proud and calm.
"So, naturally the best, please give my regards to the Duke of Gold Rose." Helen put the sword back into the scabbard.
"I will bring your greetings, please also send my greetings to Duke Snow Eagle."
Vaughn looked at Robin again, with a cold smile on his face: "Baron Robin, your luck is very good, but you can't be so lucky forever."
Leaving this sentence behind, Vaughn led his cavalry and left with a "rumble".
