Skeleton King

The fourth day of entering the Warcraft Forest.

Sykes opened the map, and they had already walked four-fifths of the way, and they would leave the World of Warcraft Forest in a short time.But in this way, the uneasiness in Sikes' heart became more and more intense.

Among the shadowy trees, the people of the Territory of Chaos became more and more unscrupulous, almost no longer covering their tracks.It's not that the knights of the Royal Guards didn't attack them, but these desperadoes were brave enough to fight back against several knights who were far stronger than them before they died.

Although the knights of the Royal Guards Knights were not killed or seriously injured, several such chases and escapes seriously slowed down the speed of the team.For these annoying spies, the knights of the Royal Guards had to ignore them.

Of course, this is also related to the thinking of many people in the mission. They feel that those who live in these cracks dare not really take action against the two empires.

Sikes could not have been so naive.

Sykes had the deputy master of the Knights of the Royal Guards tell the knights not to let their guard down.Although people can't help but feel relaxed after maintaining a state of high tension for a long time, the knights of the Royal Knights of the Guards are still vigilant at all times because of the more rigorous training.

It was lunchtime now, and Sikes had no intention of resting.But Princess Fenfur was very motion sick and had vomited several times. Prince Bartholomew strongly urged the team to stop.Sykes thought he would not be able to get out of the monster forest today, so he agreed.

Nou stays with two mages from the Finger Empire.The mission needs absolutely reliable swordsmen to protect their safety.

Ace ducked away.I don't know if it's Ace's illusion, but when he walked to the mage, their eyes always stayed on him vaguely.

Ace guessed that the wizard doubted his identity.Even General Arnold and Lich Ingersoll told Ace that his disguise was perfect.

Ace seldom went to find Nuoou, but often wandered to Sykes' place.The Knights of Eternal Night can be regarded as the predecessor of the current Knights of the Royal Guard, and Ace is still very interested in the Knights of the Royal Guard.

A bonfire was lit in the camp.

The chefs prepared carrot broth with mashed potatoes, and the aroma wafted far away, and it smelled very delicious.The knight who divides the meal stirs the broth with scallions, so that the fragrance floats farther and more intensely.

Those who came from the Leader of Chaos were not the regular army. Those people were used to it. Seeing the behavior of the Royal Guards, they were so angry that they scolded their mothers.The knights of the Royal Guards laughed loudly, and the gloom stirred up by the people of the Lord of Chaos these days was swept away.

Prince Bartholomew held up the small bowl and carefully put the spoon to Princess Fenfur's mouth.Next to them were two mages from the Finger Empire, and Nou, who were the most distinguished and powerful people in the mission, and they were also in the center of the camp when they were temporarily resting.

Sykes and Ace were looking at the map of the Warcraft Forest.It was only at the end that the knights poured the broth over their mashed potatoes.

Ace scooped up the soup and said, "Captain Richter has worked hard."

Ace met Sykes several times in the imperial capital, and thought he was a person who would enjoy life very much.Unexpectedly, in the knight order, Sykes would wait for the knights to eat first.

Sykes thought for a while before realizing that Ace had misunderstood, "No, the soup at the bottom is the freshest. When I was young, my mother told me."

Oh.

Ace remembered that Angelica had said the same thing.

Sykes: "Don't use an honorific title for me, just call me Sykes."

"That's not good." Ace said politely, "Sikes, do you think people from the Territory of Chaos will do something?"

Sykes: "It's hard to tell."

"But what are they for? This will offend the two empires at the same time." This is what Ace still doesn't understand.

Sykes: "According to the information collected these days, the situation in the Territory of Chaos is much more complicated than outsiders imagined. There are hundreds of mountains in the Territory of Chaos, and there are also hundreds of forces. The small forces only have one mountain. It’s a village of several aboriginal people.”

"Big power." Sykes hesitated, and said, "Ace, I wonder if you've heard of the Hundred-Men Assassins?"

Ace nodded.George was a member of the Hundred Assassins, but even he has no news about the Hundreds of Assassins.

Sykes said: "There is a saying that after being wanted by the Finger Empire, the Hundred-Men Assassins went to the Territory of Chaos. They gathered dozens of hills and are one of the biggest forces in the Territory of Chaos."

"But what does this have to do with us?" Ace thought of the two mages in the mission, and said, "Do you think someone will assassinate the mage?" He took the head of a wizard.

"Part of it. But what I'm more worried about is that the Territory of Chaos is much stronger than we imagined." Sykes said: "There is no doubt that the Hundred-Men Assassin Group has the combat power of the Holy Order. If even they are in the Territory of Chaos Even if they can't use it, how much strength do the natives of the Territory of Chaos have? The reason why we and the Finger Empire don't recover the lost land is because we don't want to control it, or can we not control it?

Moreover, the major forces in the Territory of Chaos do not coexist peacefully, and they often have conflicts.If some forces intercept us, after success, they will be broken up into pieces and fled to the two empires to hide their names. As long as we are careful enough, it will be difficult for us to find them.At that time, even if we take the remaining hills of the Territory of Chaos, they will only laugh secretly. "

As more and more information about the Territory of Chaos was collected, Sykes felt that it would be better to wait for a ray of heaven before going to the Finger Empire.Naturally, the Royal Guards Knights don't have to be afraid of the Lord of Chaos, not to mention that there are two mages in the mission team, but they bring Prince Bartholomew, Princess Fenfell, and...

Sykes glanced at Ace inadvertently, "We can leave the World of Warcraft forest tomorrow afternoon. People from the Territory of Chaos must make gestures before the sun rises tomorrow. Before that, Ace, don't stay too far away from me. "

Ace raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Sykes said that, he asked, "Why?"

"You are the third-level swordsman." It was too weak.Naturally, Ace doesn't like being ridiculed for being weak in person.But before Ace changed his face, Sykes said again: "I can protect you only if you are by my side."

Ace looked at Sykes, on Sykes's unparalleled handsome face was a natural expression, as if it was his responsibility to protect Ace.If Ace hadn't seen the Marchioness of Ross and Princess Fenfur being jealous of Sykes in Mrs. Anne's gift shop, he would have thought that Sykes was hitting him straight.

Even so, the silver eyes looked at Ace so intently, and Ace's head went blank, and he asked subconsciously, "Why?"

The long silver hair slid across Sykes' cheeks softly, and was blown gently by the wind. Sykes' profile was as sharp as a knife, and his expression was flat, as if he was talking about a small matter, or recalling A long time ago.

Sykes said softly: "Entrusted by others."

Sikes turned his head again, facing Ace head-on.They were so close that Ace could see every pore on Sikes' face, and he heard Sikes say, "So, Ace, follow me."

With such focused eyes, it seems that no one else in this camp exists.

Those silver eyes only focused on the person in front of him.

Ace didn't feel happy or shocked, although not long ago he liked Sykes' face.

When Sykes said that he was entrusted, the first thing Ace thought of was His Majesty Ludwig IV. If His Majesty Ludwig IV really had high hopes for Ace and asked Sykes to protect Ace, Indeed.

The Knights of the Royal Guards are the knights directly under His Majesty Ludwig IV, and it is impossible for Sykes to know some secrets that cannot be treated by outsiders.

But Ace's intuition told him that it was not that simple.

He must have overlooked something.

Ace hasn't figured it out yet, and most of the camp has just started eating.At this moment, Ace and Sykes saw a knight of the Royal Guards running towards them quickly. The expression on his face was a little frightened. From a distance, he said: "Leader My lord, my lord mage said..."

Without the knight finishing speaking, Ace looked to the north, and he felt the violent fluctuations in the magic elements there.

Sikes understood too.He couldn't feel the magic element, but he could feel the sound from the ground. The other party sent at least tens of thousands of cavalry.

Sykes said to the knights of the Knights of the Royal Guard who were still eating: "Assemble! Prepare for battle!" He did not shout hoarsely, but his voice was clearly transmitted to every corner of the camp through his fighting spirit.

In just an instant, the knights of the Royal Guards put down the food in their hands and began to put on their armor.

Sykes and the others discovered the enemy's trail very early, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour for them to arrive in front of them.This time is definitely more than enough for the knights of the Royal Guards, but there are not only knights of the Royal Guards in the camp, but also hundreds of ordinary members of the mission who have not received professional training, and their movements will be much slower.

At this time, the two wizards no longer had any scruples, and used the space ring to collect half of Princess Fenfur's dowry.People in the Territory of Chaos absolutely covet these things.However, the space in the space ring of the two mages is limited, and more things have to be left outside.

Ace wanted to go to Nou, but Sykes grabbed his arm, "Stay here!" Then Sykes got on his horse and walked to the front of the knight group.

On the other side, Prince Bartholomew and Princess Fenfur got out of the carriage and got on the horse.Princess Fenfur has also been to the training camp of the Knights, and her equestrian skills are also very good, but she met Prince Bartholomew before she passed the training camp assessment.Beside them are two wizards.Nuo Ou stood in front of them, and the sword of judgment in Nuo Ou's hand shone with azure blue light.The knights held their shields and formed a circle around them.

Seeing Nuoou Wuyu, Ace turned his "eyes" to the north.

Obviously, among the people in the Territory of Chaos, there were also senior magicians. They used wind magic to clear the trees in front of them, allowing the cavalry to dive in the open space.

The cavalry of the Territory of Chaos is not a regular army at all, not to mention compared with the Royal Knights Guards, even ordinary knights will not be dressed in colorful and colorful clothes like them. Most of them only have leather armor, and those with armor are also Most of them are not standard armors.But none of these things could conceal their ferocious aura.

There are so many people from the leader of chaos, and Ace sees Dodo's soul fire from far to near, and there are at least [-] soul fires.And most of these soul fires are not small invisible flames, they are the soul fires of ordinary people, and the soul fires of the leaders of chaos are much stronger, which shows that the proportion of strong people among them is very high.

The Knights of the Royal Guards have only 3000 people, and they have to protect hundreds of non-combatants.

Ace quietly appeared with the Bone Staff in his left hand. He was about to chant a spell when suddenly he felt a change in the magic element beside him.Wind-attributed and light-attributed magical elements suddenly increase in nature, centered on two wizards.

day!

This is a curse!

Ace looked at the two tenth-level wizards. This lengthy and powerful spell could only be a forbidden spell.

The magician of the Territory of Chaos wanted to stop the cavalry, and he also felt something was wrong. They knew that there was the Royal Guard Knights in the mission, but they didn't know that there were wizards.

But it's too late.The cavalry rushed too fast and hurriedly. If they stopped at this time, the cavalry behind would bump into the cavalry in front, which was tantamount to suicide for them.

Ace quietly put the staff of death back into the space wristband.
