Chapter 22 Trap

Ice Punishment Forest outside Kaiyuan City.

A team of black-armored cavalry marched on the road in the wilderness. At the front of the team was a burly middle-aged knight wearing black armor and carrying a large sword on his back. He looked straight ahead with a stern expression. He was O'Quinn, who was preparing to go to the Ice Punishment Forest to intercept Kyle.

Snowflakes were flying in the sky, and the cavalry regiment moved slowly in the cold wind.

The army led by O'Quinn was strictly disciplined. All the cavalrymen did not say a word and marched towards the Ice Punishment Forest in silence. After an hour's journey, they finally saw the shadow of the Ice Punishment Forest.

"Sir, should we let the soldiers rest for a while?" The adjutant knight asked.

"No, keep going!" O'Quinn looked grim.

The cavalry regiment marched in the cold wind for two hours. Both the warhorses and the knights consumed a certain amount of physical strength. It stands to reason that they should rest before entering the Ice Punishment Forest, but O'Quinn was eager to intercept Kyle at this moment, so he waved his hand and led the army into the forest.

As O'Quinn rode forward, he scanned the surroundings with his eyes.

The silent Ice Punishment Forest was dead, the whistling cold wind rolled up the dancing snowflakes, turning them into streams of cold white. The cavalry regiment moved forward silently among the trees, and soon entered the heart of the forest. The surrounding environment gradually became narrow and complex.

"My lord, something seems to be wrong." The adjutant knight rode forward and whispered.

O'Quinn frowned slightly, and a trace of haze surged in his heart. The forest was a little weirdly quiet. The cavalry regiment had been marching for so long, but they didn't even see a flying bird. Even in winter, it was really incredible.

"Be alert and keep moving forward!" O'Quinn said in a deep voice with a cold face.

The adjutant knight's lips moved slightly, hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything, waved his hand to command the cavalry to continue moving forward into the depths of the forest, but before they had walked far, a faint smell of blood came from the woods not far away.

"My lord, it's over there!" The adjutant knight pointed to the front and said in a deep voice.

Not far away, a unkempt corpse hung on a sturdy tree. It had stiffened in the cold wind. The armor on the corpse was tattered and stained with blood, but from the style, it could still be seen that it was armor from Giant Wolf City.

"The bloody smell has not dissipated yet. He must have died not long ago." The adjutant knight frowned.

As the adjutant knight spoke, he pulled the reins and rode over. He drew out his long sword and pushed aside the hair covering the corpse's face, revealing a stiff face. The adjutant knight's heart suddenly jumped and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Young Wolf Kyle!?"

O'Quinn frowned, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart. He looked at the adjutant knight, opened his mouth and was about to shout something, but suddenly a sharp whistle sounded in the forest, and a spear flew from nowhere and rushed straight to the adjutant knight next to the corpse.

"Ugh, ah!!!" The spear shot out and pierced the chest of the adjutant knight, causing him to scream.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At the same time, a rain of arrows suddenly attacked from all directions. Before O'Quinn could react, dozens of cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

"Be alert, defend!" O'Quinn roared, "Everyone dismount, shield soldiers form a protective formation!"

The cavalry regiment was disciplined and responded quickly after the first round of arrow rain. Under O'Quinn's command, the cavalrymen carrying shields dismounted one after another, and completed the defensive formation at a very fast speed before the second round of arrow rain came.

The arrows hit the shields, making a dull sound, and then fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, noisy shouts rang out in the forest, and countless men in black roared and rushed out from all directions. O'Quinn decisively ordered a counterattack, and the well-trained soldiers took back their shields and raised their spears one after another.

"Demon Flame Slash!" O'Quinn turned on his horse and roared.

With his internal fighting spirit burning fiercely, O'Quinn swung up the giant sword with one hand and swung out a half-moon-shaped slash. The fighting spirit, like a black flame, spread like a tide, and in an instant, more than a dozen black-clothed men who were rushing in the front were burned to ashes.

The deterrent power brought by the great knight's terrifying power made the black-clothed men who were originally charging retreat.

At this moment, a silver-spear knight riding a white horse and wearing a mask on his face rushed out. He passed the black-clothed men and ran straight to O'Quinn. The long spear in his hand was wrapped with thunder-like silver fighting spirit. With a brave momentum, he launched an attack!

"Hah!" The masked man stabbed out with a spear, like a thunderbolt.

O'Quinn immediately swung his sword to block. The giant sword burning with black flames touched the silver spear wrapped with thunder, and a dull sound suddenly came out. Both sides felt the power of each other. After the fight, they quickly separated and retreated a few steps.

"Great Knight!?" O'Quinn was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

There are less than ten great knights on the Ice Plain. O'Quinn has known them for many years, and even killed the Lord of Giant Wolf City, who is a veteran great knight. However, he has never heard of a great knight who uses a spear, and he suddenly felt heavy in his heart.

In the castle, in the bedroom on the second floor.

In front of the window of the room, Enzo looked into the distance expressionlessly. In the forest outside Kaiyuan City, a large number of soldiers from the Iron Scythe Family had recently emerged. The guards in the city had already launched a defense, and the two sides were fighting.

Bang! ! The bedroom door was suddenly kicked open.

Enzo turned around and saw the knight Garro holding a long sword, with a cold smile on his face, looking at him with ill intentions.

"Hello, Master Enzo." Garro said sinisterly.

"Is it you, Garo?" Enzo asked expressionlessly, "So, this is the plan of the Iron Sickle family? First trick my father away, and then send troops to occupy Kaiyuan City?"

When the Iron Sickle family soldiers appeared in the forest, Enzo had some ideas in his mind.

Considering the timing of Garo's appearance, he guessed that this guy had already defected to Iron Horn City. He first used O'Quinn's hatred for Young Wolf Kyle to lure him to the Ice Punishment Forest, and then sent a signal to the Iron Sickle family to take this opportunity to occupy Kaiyuan City.

"Iron Sickle? Haha, I'm not interested in working for them!" Garo sneered.

"I guessed wrong?" Enzo frowned, his eyes flashing.

"It's getting late, let's send you on your way first." Garo didn't say much, sneered and pointed the long sword in his hand at Enzo, saying: "I advise you not to resist. For the sake of the past, I will give you a quick death!"

After that, Garo rushed up.

"Oh, really?" Enzo raised the corner of his lips, and suddenly his body moved, with a short blade in his hand, and he approached Gero like a ghost.
