Chapter 160 Unexpected Conflict

The most important thing in travel is not to reach the destination, but the scenery during the journey.

Rhodes has been comforting himself like this in his heart, but he still feels boring.He was also tired of looking at the surrounding scenery, except for the trees and grass, there were not even a few flowers.

He originally thought that there were farmlands along the way, but he found that there were more wastelands overgrown with weeds.But thinking about it, it seems normal. Even in the heyday of the feudal era, there were many places that were not used for farming, not to mention this chaotic world.

It was three days ago that I killed a group of Dawn Knights in that poor village. After that day, Michel seemed to be thinking about something all the time, and he rarely spoke, while Baron and Hamer were almost the same as before. .

"How many days before we reach Glory City?" Rhodes asked.

"You have to ask her, I'm not familiar with this place." Baron pointed to Michelle.

Michel heard the conversation between the two of them and replied
"At this rate, it can be achieved in five or six days."

Rhodes misses bullet trains, high-speed rail, and airplanes very much now. He didn't think much of it before, but now he realizes the convenience of modern transportation.

On the far side of the road appeared several riders in red armor.

"They didn't come to hunt us down, did they?" Rhode looked at the rider in the distance and smiled.

"It's unlikely, the news didn't spread that fast, and they didn't know which direction we were going. When they start sending people to hunt us down, we will probably all return to Nord." Baron shook shook his head.

Rhodes and the others passed several forks along the way, and he also felt that it was impossible for the Knights of the Dawn to find them so quickly.

The speed of information transmission in this era is very slow, and the fastest way to transmit information is through ravens. They are larger than carrier pigeons, and therefore stronger, and their flying speed is much faster than ordinary carrier pigeons.

"If they come to catch us, I'll eat my hammer." Hammer said a rare word.

"Then I'll ask them carefully later." Baron laughed. Although he had the same idea as Hammer, he now wondered how Hammer would react after losing the bet.

After the riders approached Rhodes and the others, they just glanced at them and continued walking in front of them.

"Hey, are you arresting fugitives?" Baron asked with a smile.

"How do you know?" A rider stopped his horse and turned around and asked.

Baron turned to Hammer and smiled.

"I'm guessing, what do the people you want to arrest look like?" Baron asked again.

"Not a crowd, but a man, a man with two swords," replied the rider.

Speaking of the man with two swords on his back, Rhodes thought of the sloppy middle-aged man who had fought against him in the team competition of the Gulfstream City Athletic Conference.

"Does he look sloppy?" Rhodes asked.

"No, it seems that we are not talking about the same person." The rider turned his horse's head again and was about to leave.

"Is it because he is unwilling to spend money to redeem his original sin?" Baron said with a chuckle.

The group of riders stared at Baron fiercely, but seeing Baron's figure and equipment gave up the idea of ​​teaching them a lesson, they said nothing and left in the direction Rhodes came from.

"It seems that you don't need to eat your hammer anymore." Baron said, looking at Hamer.

Everyone continued on the road, and a small town appeared in front of them.

"Let's go in and buy some supplies, the dry food is almost gone," Rhode suggested.

"It just so happens that I'm a little thirsty and want to drink some ale." Baron echoed.

Michel, who wanted to return to Glory City earlier, agreed to Rhodes' proposal.

The four of them rode into the town.

"Go directly to the tavern in the town to buy food, only there can be used as dry food." Misaier reminded.

Rhodes nodded, and after asking the residents of the town, they came to a tavern.

Walking into the tavern, there is still the familiar smell inside, a strange smell of alcohol mixed with sweat, it seems that this is a common smell in the tavern.

"Four glasses of the best ale you have here." Baron shouted loudly after sitting on the bench.

"Okay, come right away!" The tavern maid immediately acted after hearing Baron's voice.

After buying some dry food from the tavern owner, Rhodes sat on the wine table and looked around. He sensed a strong wave of magic power from someone in the tavern. He was a little curious why there was such a person in a tavern in such a small town. .

He noticed a man drinking alone with his back to them, carrying two swords on his back, a steel sword and a silver sword.

Witcher?
This was Rhodes' first reaction.

"Do you see if that person is the one that the Knights of the Dawn want to hunt down?" Rhodes said in a low voice.

Following the direction Rhodes pointed, Baron and the others looked over.

Although Rhodes just spoke in a low voice, it seemed that he was noticed by that person.

"It's none of our business. We'll leave after drinking that glass of wine." Baron said as he took the glass from the tavern maid.

Rhodes also took the cup she handed over, and whispered thank you, but unexpectedly she blushed.

It is estimated that she took me as a young nobleman after seeing my attire, Rhodes came to such a conclusion.

The ale was a bit bitter, and it was not as good as plain water. Rhodes put down the glass after taking a sip.

At this time, the door of the tavern was suddenly broken open, revealing a group of knights in red armor.

They are members of the Knights of Dawn again, it seems that they have a good relationship with them recently.

They drew their weapons and walked straight to the man with the twin swords on his back.

"Let's go, there's going to be a fight here," Rhodes said.

Baron and the others didn't want to be affected by irrelevant battles. Standing up, Rhodes found that the outside was surrounded by knights riding tall horses and wearing red armor.

The status of these people in the knight order must be higher than that of the two teams of riders encountered in the previous two times. It can be seen from their equipment that the equipment on these people is different from the group of people they met in the village. The knights are about the same.

It seems that they are all noble knights.

Rhodes was also a little nervous, and followed Baron and the others calmly towards the outside of the tavern.

"You can't leave here." The knight with the most gorgeous armor in the front said, his voice sounded very young, but there was a kind of magical power that made people subconsciously want to obey.

It's when he's not pointing a sword at someone else.

Baron felt a little angry when he saw the young knight pointing his two-handed sword at him.

"What do you want?" Baron looked up at the knight on the horse.

"Until the evil is completely purified, you cannot leave here." The knight said flatly.

At this time, the battle inside had already begun. Behind the young knight, a group of knights got off their horses, took up weapons and rushed into the tavern to support the knights inside.

"We are all good citizens." Rhodes pretended to be pitiful and said, "We just used money to find your people to redeem our original sin."

"You are polluted by the breath of that cultist, and you need to be purified." The knight controlled the horse and took a few steps forward, and the two-handed sword in his hand was getting closer to Rhodes.

Rhodes looked back at Baron and the others, giving them a look for him to understand.

The next moment, Rhodes drew out the long sword at his waist and slashed at the knight in front of him, a wide and sharp sword aura flew away from the long sword...
