C47 Ambushed

And then, they found two groups of people riding their horses towards them at the same time.

Lee Xiang felt it was strange, because he had observed them carefully just now. Since they were about to get close to the forest, this place had obviously been divided into two paths. One of them was the main road that bypassed the forest. The other was to follow the small path by the river. Lee Xiang and the others were deciding which way to go, so they unconsciously walked to the small path. And Lee Xiang had also noticed it just now. On this small path, there were very few people. Apart from a few fishermen who were fishing in Yalu River, there were only one or two woodcutters and hunters. Such a large group of people passed by. And they were even politely walking along the small path. This made him feel very strange.

"There should be no less than fifty people!" A guard beside Lee Xiang said very professionally.

"Strictly speaking, it should be 53 people!" Bill returned to his previous cold attitude. "It seems like they are in a hurry. There seems to be something waiting for them ahead. "

In front of them, Lee Xiang and the others were stunned, because this forest was right in front of them. Could it be that they were going to enter the forest?

While they were thinking, these two groups of people were already approaching them at a fast speed.

"Not good. . . " Bill shouted. "Protect the master. . . The situation is not good!"

Lee Xiang also felt the situation was not good at the same time, because when they were about to get close to them, He immediately found that these people were originally in a neat formation, but after discovering them, they immediately spread out in a fan shape. It was obvious that they wanted to block all their paths, and the only way was through the forest behind them. And the number of enemies was actually more than twice the number of people here.

"They're all heavy-armored cavalry!" Some guard took a deep breath. It must be known that their group of twenty or so people only wore ordinary knight attire, and even ordinary light armor could not compare to them. The difference between the two was that if the former wore this type of armor during combat, it could protect any part of the body. Of course, except for the eyes. And you basically can't see the true appearance of the cavalry wearing this armor. And the light armor is used to protect some important parts of the body. Of course, the heavy armor is definitely not as flexible as the latter, but it can block your fatal attack. So strictly speaking, on a real battlefield, there are usually some people who choose heavy armor. But considering the limitations of this kind of clothing, the main thing is still light armor. The rest was secondary. However, this type of armor could only be used in battles between those of the same level. It was truly effective when it came to combat power. Even if you wear copper coins and iron arms, it will be useless.

"It seems to be the Empire's equipment? It shouldn't be coming for us, right?" Someone questioned in a low voice.

All the guards agreed at the same time.

"The equipment definitely belongs to the Empire, but no one can guarantee that. . . " Bill coldly harrumphed. "If they are being brazen. . . There is no need for them to wear heavy armor. It is obvious that their purpose is to hide their true appearance. Moreover, this is not the case in the empire. Unless there is a major war or an enemy!"

Lee Xiang nodded. Bill's analysis made a lot of sense.

"Protect the master. We will retreat to the edge of the forest. If the situation is not good, hide in the forest first!" Bill waved his hand and said in a low voice.

At the same time, more than twenty guards quickly surrounded Lee Xiang in the middle and moved to the edge of the forest quickly. They even ignored their mounts.

Very quickly, this group of people came to their side with lightning speed. At the same time, the fan shape from before slowly closed. Of course, the forest behind them was their only way out so far.

Both sides removed their weapons at the same time and stared at each other.

"Who are you? Do you know who we are?" Bill stood at the front and looked at the people surrounding him fearlessly.

His expression made Lee Xiang secretly praise him. He was indeed a rank 6 knight. He still had the style that he should have.

"Is it this person?" After a long time, the man in the middle, who was riding a tall horse, pointed at Lee Xiang and asked the person beside him in a deep voice. Instead, he ignored Bill's question. The voice was quite unfamiliar.

Lee Xiang felt a chill in his heart. As expected, it was coming for him. Because they were all wearing heavy armor on their heads, he could not see their faces clearly. Of course, even if he could see them clearly, Lee Xiang might not be able to recognize them. But he still noticed one thing. These people's eyes were all blue, azure blue!

The person next to him took a close look at Lee Xiang and even took out a portrait to compare. Finally, after glancing at Lee Xiang and the others, he nodded very cautiously. "That's right, it's him!"

The person waved his hand and ordered coldly. "Kill them all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Xiang's guard pulled out his long sword and rushed towards these people. The chaotic battle began.

Bill first waved his long sword. With an extremely sharp purple combat power, he rushed towards the person who seemed to be the leader like a rainbow. At the same time, he said, "Leave a few people behind and lead the master to retreat. "

As soon as Bill finished speaking, five guards immediately surrounded Lee Xiang. They started to retreat at a rapid speed. In the end, they only needed to take one more step and they could enter the forest at any time. However, Lee Xiang was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he stood there and watched. No matter what, He could be considered a mage now. When others were working for him, He had no reason to run away first. If he really ran into the forest, there might not be any good results.

The man who had just spoken didn't panic when he saw Bill attack him first. He laughed and said, "Don't worry about me. He is just a rank 6 Knight. Get rid of that Lower Race first. No matter what price. . . "

After saying that, the man casually pulled out his long sword. Just as Bill's long sword was about to approach them, he held it horizontally with one hand and lightly blocked it. He conveniently swung it and Bill was instantly bounced back.

Lee Xiang looked at the sword in his hand and was secretly shocked. At the same time, he shouted in his heart, Not good! This man had just called out Bill's identity as a Sixth Grade Knight. Obviously, he had already clearly understood the strength of the few people around him. This proved that he had come prepared. Moreover, he had absolute confidence in subduing these people. That was why he had spoken so arrogantly earlier. Lee Xiang had also noticed that when this person drew his sword, there was a faint blue-green gas. It was very obvious that this person's level was one and a half levels higher than Bill's. This made the problem even more complicated.

Along with a few miserable groans from the battlefield, Lee Xiang noticed that a few of his guards were injured and fell to the ground.

As for Bill, he let out a muffled groan and flew sideways. Clearly, he had suffered a loss in the previous battle. This was the gap between them. One of them was ready to fight, and the other was ready to fight. However, because of the difference in level, Bill was still at a disadvantage.

What was even worse was that Lee Xiang discovered that at this moment, after the man gave the order, more than a dozen empty seats were immediately taken out and rushed towards him. In the end, the leader of the guards who was protecting him left a guard called Buda by his side, and the rest of the guards quickly went forward to greet him.

"Bill, don't continue fighting. The enemy has come prepared. Everyone, retreat to this side!"

Lee Xiang shouted loudly. However, it seemed to have no effect. This was because the person from before immediately followed Bill like a shadow after he was shaken off by his Dou Qi. Clearly, he knew that Bill was the most troublesome person among them. He wanted to finish him off first.

After Bill landed on the ground, he quickly took a few steps back. He quickly turned around and dodged the man's attack. At the same time, he raised the sword in his hand again, but this time he didn't throw himself at the man. Instead, as the sword light was waved, an extremely sharp purple blade appeared. He attacked the man fiercely with an imposing manner that said he would never come back.
