The Emerald Tower

The sound of galloping horses' hooves in the dark night is absolutely extraordinary in Yorkshire, especially when the sound of the horse's hooves is not just a horse - from the rapid and continuous sound of horses' hooves, Dean can judge that this is a horse at least A team composed of more than five horses, moreover, can reach such a frequency, and make such a loud hoofbeat, it is definitely a war horse!

Could it be that what happened in Bugle Town was exposed?

Are these pursuers?

Because of the horses, Dean subconsciously thought of Ruman Paula, who was killed by him in Horn Town, and the famous Yorkshire cavalry among the four northern counties—not only local robbers and bandits, but these Yorkshire cavalry even He will replace the role of the magistrate and pursue some murderers who have committed major crimes, such as killing a noble like him.

However, the next moment, Dean denied his guess - in that kind of trying to cover up and clear the clues, if the Yorkshire cavalry can still come to the door at such a fast speed, then the opponent is not in the northern four corners. The county is quite famous, even in the whole Godez, it is definitely famous,

Although there was doubt in his heart, Dean's movements were not slow. He patted the horse next to him and let him enter the jungle not far away, while Dean picked up the things in the carriage and moved towards the other side. When choosing a place to rest, Dean instinctively looked for such a place where he could leave quickly or hide; the facts proved that although such a choice was a bit laborious, it was quite rewarding at the critical moment. role.

As for the carriage?

Although the size is smaller than a traditional carriage, it is not possible to enter this kind of jungle with relatively low shrubs at will. Once entered, it will only be completely exposed and arouse the vigilance of others. It is better to stay where it is—for this reason, Di En had to cut off the wooden keel in the shaft to make some false impressions of abandonment.

And because of this, when Dean drilled into the pre-selected bushes, the loud sound of horseshoes was already close at hand—one front and five rear, a total of six riders appeared in the night. In order to make the horse go faster, the rider in front had to bend down, his figure seemed a little panicked, while the weapons in the hands of the five riders behind were shining brightly in the night. , which undoubtedly shows the hostile relationship between the two sides.

However, the armor of the five riders behind them confirmed Dean's previous guess - the Yorkshire cavalry.

stop!

Amidst such violent shouts, the leading man of the Yorkshire cavalry immediately threw the long sword in his hand, causing the riders who fled in front of him to dodge; but, obviously, this man His riding skills have not reached the level of perfection - therefore, the price of dodging on the galloping horse is that he fell straight off the horse, revealing the face that he has been hiding all the time.

Huh? !

When Dean, who was hiding at the side, saw the face of the pursued man, he couldn't help but startled—this face was no stranger to Dean, after all, he was still walking with him in the morning , and even the other party talked to him more than once; that's right, the chased person was the same businessman who also spoke the accent of the three southern counties, and was one of the people that Dean thought was worth a lot.

Obviously, he was not the only one who chose to leave among the merchants this morning, but there were others—but Dean had doubts in his eyes. The figure of the other party was obviously not the kind of well-trained warrior. There are no calluses on the palms left by holding weapons, and even the white skin is enough to show that the other party is pampered - because of this,

The other party will be ignored by Dean.

After all, it is absolutely impossible for such a person to be an assassin or a robber; however, he was chased by the Yorkshire cavalry, and some of the questions are undoubtedly quite interesting.

While Dean was thinking, everything in front of him continued——

The pursued man, who was hiding his identity as a businessman, fell off his horse, but his reaction was not slow. Before the Yorkshire cavalry chased him, he even scrambled and threw him towards the carriage left by Dean. .

Obviously, in this small open space, only this damaged carriage can be relied on as a fortification. Even if the fortification is rudimentary, it is better than having no money; It can be clearly seen that the pursued man took out a small hand crossbow and a ring inlaid with gems.

Dean is no stranger to that kind of small hand crossbow, almost any assassin's favorite, and has the same status as short swords and daggers; and that jewel ring...

When Dean saw the ruby ​​that was shining on it, he couldn't help but tense up—magic item.

Ai!

In a shout familiar to Dean, the sparkling ruby ​​suddenly burst into light, and a fireball the size of a human head jumped out, shooting at the five cavalrymen behind them at the same speed as the arrows; the first to bear the brunt, It was the leader who threw the long sword, who was immediately surrounded by flames.

boom!

Mixed with the explosion of flame waves, the leader of the cavalry was blown to pieces, and even the cavalry around him were injured, especially the horse that was frightened by the flames, but wounded them. The upper body was injured, the most serious of which was under the double attack of flames and horseshoes, the breastplate was deeply dented, and it was obvious that he could not survive.

whoosh whoosh...

And at this moment, arrows appeared. Although the arrows shot by the hand crossbow were short, under the strong spring, their power should not be underestimated; it's just... the archery skills of the pursued It was so bad, two of the three arrows missed the target, and although the remaining one hit the target, it only hit the thigh.

With a hasty scream, the cavalryman who was hit by the arrow crawled on the ground, and although the remaining two cavalrymen were also wounded, they still moved towards the carriage where the pursued were hiding-obviously, these cavalrymen were very serious. It is clear that the number of arrows loaded in a crossbow is three, and they are not willing to give the opponent time to load.

If he really did that, he would be making fun of his own life again.

Dean looked at the continuing battle in front of him, especially the corpse that was blown up by the fireball, his slightly squinted eyes flickered with light: What kind of thing can make these York cavalry so desperate?

Faced with the task, there are dead soldiers who are desperate and desperate, but they will definitely not be the York cavalry who only have a certain reputation in the four northern counties; and the behavior that can make these York cavalry uncharacteristically is undoubtedly something important. Even his own life is a bet.

Ike! Ike! Come out and meet me!

The sudden cry appeared in the mouth of the pursued man, stunned the two cavalrymen who were advancing, quickly lowered their figures, and looked around vigilantly, while Di who was hiding aside Well, he was also taken aback; however, a coldness flashed across his face immediately - although the other party found out that the carriage belonged to him, Dean was a little surprised, but one thing is certain, the other party is absolutely not With good intentions.

Whether it is distracting the attention of the two cavalrymen or increasing the reloading time, it is at the cost of pulling him into the water.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely not good news for Dean.

The things he did in Bugle Town, as well as the things he carried on his body, would definitely be troublesome if discovered, especially the latter—crossbows, which are all contraband in the four northern counties; Even, Dean suspected that the other party might have discovered that he was carrying such a cargo, so he dared to shout at this time, trying to drag him into the water.

Dean took a deep breath, picked up the crossbow that had already been loaded with arrows, raised it slightly, aimed, and then pulled the trigger.

Snapped!

Whoosh!

With a slight sound, the arrows on the crossbow shot out, piercing the throat of the pursued man who was loading the crossbow arrows.

Blood bubbles came out of his mouth, and the pursued wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything; however, the other party, whose eyes widened as he died, obviously couldn't understand why Dean regarded him as The first goal, even if you want to deal with him, should be to deal with the cavalry behind you first.

Instead of killing possible assistants at this moment, increasing the danger of oneself against the enemy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Dean didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts of the pursued man. After the first arrow of the crossbow was shot, he picked up the second crossbow - different from the previous one captured from Basum. The second is a product obtained from Jialunduo. The new structure and spring make the crossbow full of power.

As for why the York Cavalry shot?

When the other party obviously won't reconcile with him, Dean usually strikes first!

Almost at the next moment, one of the two cavalrymen was also shot through the throat, while the remaining two were also killed on the spot under the shooting of the bow and arrow. Compared with using the crossbow, Dean's archery The same is good, even to a certain extent, stronger than his swordsmanship.

After all, in his years-long career as an assassin, Dean was able to retreat unscathed, all because of this way of traveling thousands of miles without hitting a single blow.

Three tiny balls of white light condensed from the bodies of the three cavalrymen and flew into Dean's body.

【XP+3】

【XP+3】

【XP+3】

Three consecutive reminders indicated Dean's harvest this time; of course, this is only a part of the harvest. When Dean walked up to the pursued person and flipped the skin bag carried by the opponent, he immediately had the ability to remove the handle. Harvests other than crossbows and used magic rings.

Quite a windfall!
