Chapter 213 Hedging

When Qin Ran saw the castle defenders chasing him, Lawless also saw it.

Snapped!

"Crow mouth!"

"Damn it!"

Lawless immediately slapped himself on the mouth and cursed in a low voice.

Then, without any hesitation, the three got on their horses and proceeded along the established route.

As for the last battle?

If the number of castle defenders chasing after him was a little smaller, Kieran might choose to do this.

However, with a cavalry team of hundreds of people, needless to say, he had to flee just by a volley of bows and arrows.

What's more, he saw that the opponent's horse was not simply a bow and arrow, but a crossbow!

Compared with bows and arrows that need to be controlled by both arms, crossbow arrows are undoubtedly more powerful and more accurate.

Even on a war horse.

Apart from the crossbow arrows, Kieran also keenly noticed that the armor of these castle defenders was somewhat different from the armor of the castle defenders he had seen.

The coat of arms on the chest is the same.

But just like this, the rest, no matter the gauntlets or greaves, have some strange protrusions, which look very dim in the reflection of the morning light.

"What's this?"

Qin Ran frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at the pursuers carefully.

He didn't think there would be something unnecessary on the armor.

For life-saving armor, no one will mess around.

Even the most stupid people know the horror of death.

Suddenly, Qin Ran's eyes turned to the horses pursuing the soldiers.

Each one was tall and strong, more than a circle bigger than the war horses they were riding, and their limbs were slender, making them even more powerful when running.

This round of chasing has already caught up with them by quite a distance.

What made Kieran even more concerned was that the horses they were riding had become panting after this burst of sprinting, but the horses on which the pursuers were riding did not change at all.

Armor is different from normal soldiers.

The war horse I ride is tall and strong, good at sprinting, and full of endurance...

"One of the three major armed forces under the command of Grand Duke Merck: the Knights of the Wind!"

Qin Ran suddenly guessed the identity of the pursuer.

With the emergence of this guess, Qin Ran became more and more affirmed of his previous thoughts on Hans' main quest.

"The time limit in Hans' main quest represents the time when Grand Duke Merck will win!"

"Only when the battle situation is stable, can Archduke Merck send out the Knights of Gale!"

"However, when the news of the rebellion in the castle reaches Grand Duke Merck, there will be at least some time lag. Why is it so fast?"

One doubt disappears and a new one arises.

Qin Ran frowned again.

He was sure that the Knights of Gale must have appeared under the order of the Grand Duke.

Because, Grand Duke Merck is the head of the Knights of the Gale.

And the Knights of Gale only obeyed the orders of the Grand Duke.

This is especially true after sending out nearly half of the Knights of Gale.

Grand Duke Merck's three major armed forces, in terms of number of people, the 'Barrier' infantry regiment has the largest number of nearly 1,000 people, the 'Gallery' Knights is second, with a number of about 200 people, and the 'Gift' team has the smallest number , only a dozen.

But this doesn't explain why the Knights of the Gale Wind appear here.

"Did Grand Duke Merck know about the rebellion?"

"impossible!"

"If he had known about the rebellion, he would not have allowed his youngest son to be killed by his second son—according to what Hans said, Grand Duke Merck loves his youngest son very much!"

A guess appeared in Qin Ran's mind, but he denied it the next moment.

And as the Knights of Gale were getting closer and closer, there was no time for Kieran to think more.

He turned his head and told Lawless and Hans the identity of the pursuer.

"The Knights of Gale?"

"How did they appear here?"

Lawlessness and Hans exclaimed together, and Hans was even more astonished.

"I also have doubts about why they appear here, but one thing I can be sure of is that with the speed of our mounts alone, we can't outrun the Gale Knights!"

Qin Ran said.

"We must find a way to cause them a little trouble!"

"I'll stop them for a while, 2567 and Hans, you run first!"

"Remember, go straight through the patrolling forest and complete the main mission, don't stay for long!"

Lawless said decisively.

"Count me in!"

Kieran spoke at the same time, and then pulled off the rein that was originally hanging on the lawless saddle, and hung it on Hans' saddle.

"Hans, I entrust you with my war horse. If you ride with two, at least you don't have to worry about speed!"

"Don't make such an expression, you are the 'principal criminal'!"

"You are enough to attract the attention of the Knights of the Gale, so you need to run faster!"

"And, I'm here for my side mission!"

Kieran looked at the excited Hans, and immediately opened the task bar.

[Discover side mission: chasing soldiers! 】

[Pursue: The 'Galewind' Knights, which were supposed to be on the front line, suddenly appeared behind you. Now you need to make a choice, whether to continue to escape, or turn around and fight, looking for better opportunities! But no matter which point, you need to keep in mind that what you have to do is to escape the pursuit of the "Gallery Knights"! 】

(Note: Killing and chasing members of the "Gallery" Knights will increase the rating)

As he guessed the identity of the Knights of the Gale, the reminder of the side mission suddenly appeared.

Qin Ran understands that this is because his main task is only [Escape from the Principality of Merck]. If it is lawlessness, and Hans himself has the element of being "chased" in the main task, such a side task will definitely not appear.

Once again, Kieran lamented the benefits of participating in a high number of dungeons with a low number of dungeons.

At the same time, looking at the note in the side quest [Kill the members of the chasing 'Gallery' Knights, the evaluation will be improved], Kieran has already made a decision in his heart.

After gaining visible benefits, Kieran will naturally carry out the original idea: not only to complete the main task, but also to complete the sub-quest and title tasks as much as possible.

Therefore, when Lawless proposed to 'block' the pursuers, Qin Ran immediately agreed.

"But, but..."

"We are the ones who accepted the employment, took the commission, and signed the contract to do our best to protect you to complete the contract!"

"Now is the time for us to fulfill the contract!"

"Do not worry!"

"Neither I nor 2567 will use my own life to delay you, so there must not be much time for you. You have to run faster!"

Hans had something to say, but was interrupted directly by Lawlessness.

Then, Lawless stretched out his hand to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran grabbed Lawless's hand, and as soon as he exerted force, he jumped behind Lawless.

The next moment, Qin Ran and Lawless broke away from the fleeing team.

He turned his horse's head and looked at the pursuers.

Hans rode alone and continued to rush forward.

"Go back, I'll buy you a drink!"

"Be sure to come back safely!"

Hans' voice came from afar.

"Tsk, this drink is not good!"

Lawless sighed.

"Are you ready?"

Lawless clenched the [Sharp Thorn] in his hand, and then handed the [Piercing Spear] to Qin Ran.

"Take it!"

"It's better than empty hands!"

Lawless said.

Qin Ran took the 【Piercing Spear】without politeness.

Although he didn't have the corresponding skills, but he mustered up his strength and swung round and round, Kieran would still be able to.

"Two people attacking a team of hundreds of people, just thinking about it makes me feel excited!"

Lawless took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

"I'd be even more excited if I could go in with some grenades!"

Qin Ran rolled his eyes.

If he could enter this dungeon world fully armed, the situation in front of him would be completely insignificant, and even the rebellion in the castle, he was sure to turn it around.

However, just think about it.

After all, the difficulty of this special dungeon world is that players cannot bring more equipment into it.

All crises are based on this difficulty.

Just like the Knights of Gale in front of him, if Qin Ran had three grenades in his hand, no, even two grenades, it would be a different situation.

"Don't be superstitious about gunpowder weapons!"

"The restrictions of some dungeons are much greater than you imagined in 2567. Even if there is compensation, if you are not mentally prepared, you will become in a hurry!"

Lawlessness reminded Qin Ran.

"You mean..."

Qin Ran was startled, and asked subconsciously.

But Lawlessness didn't answer.

The arrows coming from the sky made Lawless have to concentrate on it.

Whoosh whoosh!

The arrows shot by the Knights of Gale did not show any mercy.

The dense space is like a gathering of hornets.

But such a dense arrow attack did not hurt Qin Ran, Lawless, or even the war horse.

The [Sharp Thorn] dancing rapidly in Lawless' hands brought up sword shadows one after another, layer upon layer of sword shadows, forming a shield while breathing.

Block all arrows.

Moreover, under the lawless control, the war horse moved forward rapidly.

Almost against the incoming arrows, the distance between the two sides was shortened.

Seen from the sky, it looks like a meteor exuding metallic luster, rushing into the torrent of black arrows, going forward over all obstacles.

Although it was not the first time he had seen the lawless advanced sword skill, no matter which time he saw it, Kieran felt extremely amazed.

"This kind of attack and defense is integrated, especially good at the sword skill of using less to strike more, at least it is a rare level."

"Even at the legendary level!"

"Lawless has always shown that he is good at gunpowder and heavy weapons, but he has a set of sword skills that are at least rare. In addition to his previous reminder..."

"Sure enough, as the number of dungeons increases, will the restrictions on gunpowder weapons increase?"

There was such a guess in Qin Ran's heart.

However, the speculation in his heart did not hinder Qin Ran's actions.

He clenched the spear in his hand and stared at the Knights of Gale, which was close at hand.

Arrow rain is no longer dense.

With the current distance, it is very difficult for the Knights of Gale to launch a volley to launch a second volley.

Simply put, it's their turn to fight back!

Qin Ran changed from a sitting position to a standing position, and then jumped forward suddenly.

"rise!"

The lawless left hand supported Qin Ran's sole.

Immediately, Qin Ran's already extremely fast speed increased by a point.

He rushed into the ranks of the Knights of Gale with lightning speed.

The spear in his hand swung out in a round circle, as if sweeping through thousands of troops.
