Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1492: The Brave New Century 1st
Chapter 1492 Brave New World (10)
It happened very suddenly, even though Arthur had already sensed the hostility lurking in the darkness.
The arrow just now wasn't aimed at Arthur, so Arthur couldn't detect the trajectory of the arrow with his mind-eye technique. However, another arrow was shot from the darkness, and the arrow's trajectory was not biased towards Arthur's heart. Arthur felt that he was being underestimated and was a little angry, so he drew his sword out of the scabbard in an instant, and slashed the incoming iron arrow with a single blow with that sharp iron sword.
Boom! At the moment when the sword edge and the iron arrow collided, many people in the caravan were probably surprised. Unexpectedly, the blond boy who they have always looked down on is actually so good-in this world, it is very difficult to use weapons to cut flying props that are shot in the face.
However, Arthur was also a little surprised, because when he swung his sword, he clearly intended to split the iron arrow in two, but he did not expect the trajectory of the iron arrow to deviate slightly from what he predicted. When the blade and the arrow collided, the iron arrow just slanted and flew out!
Arthur is already a master at using the mind-eye technique, and he can't make such a low-level mistake! However, he suddenly remembered Merlin's description before: the photon concentration in this world environment is thinner than that in their original world!
Yes, it is precisely because the photon concentration has become thinner that the spells in this world will be much weaker than the spells in the original world of Arthur and the others, and even Arthur's mind-eye technique has been deviated!
If it wasn't for Arthur's luck, the slightest deviation just now might have directly caused him to raise his sword and swing in the air! And if he hadn't bounced the iron arrow away, the arrow might have gone directly into Arthur's heart---------It was so terrifying, Arthur couldn't help but feel scared when he thought about it. A cold sweat!
However, practice brings true knowledge, and if he understands that using the mind-eye technique in this world will go wrong, Arthur will know what to do next!
Whoosh whoosh! The enemy saw that Arthur blocked the arrow with his sword, and instantly realized that Arthur was the most difficult guy to deal with in the team, so they chased Arthur to fight, and several cold arrows shot at Arthur from all directions!
"Don't get too complacent!!" Arthur walked lightly, carefully avoiding the arrows. Although there is a deviation in the trajectory predicted by the mind-eye technique, the deviation is generally not large, so Arthur can easily avoid it by using the method of dodging - as long as he does not die to block the arrow with a sword, it will be fine!
However, how could he have been suppressed and beaten by his opponents without fighting back at all! But while avoiding the last arrow, he immediately reached out and grabbed the iron arrow that passed by him, used it as a weapon, and threw it towards the dark corner of the forest!
"Wow!" A scream from the enemy came from the shadows. That guy just fired an arrow, he didn't expect Arthur to make such a quick counterattack, so he was shot in the head by the iron arrow before he could even move!
"There are nine of them!" Arthur shouted, "Oh no, there are eight now! Find them and kill them all!"
Hearing Arthur say this, the group of mercenaries also recovered from their stunned state and began to fight back. The shooting just now had exposed the location of the ambushers. The mercenaries followed the direction of the wind from the arrows, and it was not a big problem. Of course, the group of enemies knew that the location of the ambush had been exposed and began to move. In an instant, the sound of footsteps began to spread throughout the forest.
Whoosh! Another cold arrow shot. Of course, the arrow was not aimed at Arthur, but aimed at the carriage of the caravan. But Arthur had already been deployed beside the carriage, how could he let his opponent succeed?
The arrow sprayed a small amount of oil, and sparks from the oil were scattered all over the place.
"Be careful, they're going to attack with fire!" Arthur shouted. The arrow shot just now was soaked in oil, but it was not really ignited. The enemy probably planned to turn the carriage into flammable objects with arrows carrying oil, and then ignite it in one breath. In this way, as long as the carriage is ignited by a small spark, the entire carriage and its cargo will be lost!
But Arthur suddenly realizes a very strange detail. If the opponent is to **** the goods delivered by the caravan, they should definitely not be willing to set fire to it, right?
So, the enemy's purpose of attacking the caravan is not actually to take away the goods, but to destroy the goods? !
With more arrows coming out of the darkness, Arthur had to give up thinking about the details and catch up with his sword to block. It has been a month since he came to this world, and Arthur has gradually become accustomed to the movements of this young man's body, and after persistent physical training, his movements have become very agile. He easily fended off several flying arrows and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned to ask the caravan: "What kind of cargo is in this carriage?! Why did the thieves want to set it on fire?" ?!"
"This is not something you need to meddle with." The caravan leader retorted coldly.
"Okay!" At the same time, the sound of an iron arrow breaking through the air is coming. Arthur then rushed over again, raised his sword and deflected another iron arrow. However, even with his aggressive blocking, a lot of oil spilled onto the carriage's casing. The carriage has become more and more flammable, and it is estimated that in a short time, a small spark can make it burn violently!
"I don't care, then you all wait for the carriage to be burnt to ashes!" the boy threatened.
"Or we can leave you mercenaries behind and run away!" The caravan replied boldly, waving the whip to drive the horse. However, they were naive. After all, the caravan's horses were not war horses. When the caravan was attacked, the horses were so frightened that they lost their souls.
"Humph." Arthur forced a contemptuous sneer.
"Okay, okay! You won!" The leader of the caravan then said angrily: "The carriage is too dangerous, let the saint come out, and let this little brother be responsible for protecting the safety of the saint."
"Saint?" The young man couldn't help muttering in his heart.
The men of the caravan have opened the door of the carriage and let the things hidden in the carriage get out of the carriage. This time, the caravan carriage was not carrying any goods, but a person. More correctly, it was a very plainly dressed peasant girl.
"Is that you...?" When Arthur saw the girl, he was immediately stunned.
"It's you...!" The girl was stunned when she saw Arthur. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth and stared at Arthur for a long time before she said: "Micah------"
"Shh!" Arthur avoided the obstruction of the group of businessmen in an instant, rushed to the girl and covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense here!"
The girl looked at Arthur in horror and nodded vigorously after a few seconds, expressing that she would cooperate with Arthur's actions.
Seeing Arthur suddenly rushing to their "Saint" side, the group of businessmen also paled in shock. However, Arthur immediately let go of the hand covering the girl's mouth, expressing no malice. The girl also turned to explain to the group of businessmen: "He...he can be trusted."
"Is it someone you know, Lady Saint?" asked the leader of the caravan.
The girl nodded vigorously again.
At the same time, another arrow was shot towards Arthur, and this time it was a lit rocket. Of course Arthur didn't slack off, he raised his sword to block it instantly, the blade collided with the iron arrow, and the arrow jumped away instantly.
However, during the collision, the ignited grease on the arrow shot out a spark, which still landed on the carriage!
Boom! The originally wooden carriage was still oiled, and it was instantly set on fire without any suspense.
"Humph..." The heat of the flame rushed towards Arthur, and the boy subconsciously pulled the girl away to keep her away from danger. The group of businessmen also fled around in fright, and they were desperate.
"Hey, don't run! You're going to die!" Arthur warned. However, his warning came too late, and the group of businessmen who fled into the forest in a panic had already become the target of the enemy's sneak attack. They were shot by arrows while fleeing, screaming and falling down, under the shadows of the dark and ruthless trees. engulfed.
"Damn!" Arthur called, "Protect the cargo!!"
He expects that the mercenaries will respond and come back to support him. However, he overestimated the strength of the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The mercenaries who ran into the forest to raid the enemy were actually killed by the thieves in the forest, and none of them came back alive!
"Lord Michael------" The girl hid behind Arthur in horror, at a loss.
"Follow me, you're going to break out from here!" Arthur held his sword and made a sprint. The situation is extremely bad, it is like a repeat of history a month ago. If there is only Arthur on the battlefield, it is actually an easy thing to escape and even kill most of the enemies. But behind him there was a girl to protect—a girl who had not received any formal combat training—and she was a liability.
However, leaving the girl alone and running away is not what a man did. Arthur can only bite the bullet!
"Give up!" Unexpectedly, Arthur just took a step ~IndoMTL.com~ when he found that the enemies had already walked out of the forest and hurriedly surrounded him and the girl.
This time, Arthur miscalculated the number of enemies—there were far more than eight! There are twenty thieves who make up this encirclement! Except for the eight people who were first noticed by Arthur, the others were very cleverly ambushed, almost blending in with the woods, and they couldn't detect the slightest sound at all. No wonder the group of mercenaries disappeared immediately after rushing into the woods. It turned out that they were secretly killed by the enemies!
In the original world, King Arthur, who was strong and strong, could easily break through the encirclement of twenty people, but in this world 900 years later, he was just a weak boy. With his physical ability, it is impossible to break through alive! What's more, he has a girl with him!
The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and in an instant it has reached a point where Arthur alone cannot reverse it!
What should I do? All he could do was let it go.
Arthur took a deep breath and stretched out his left hand to grab the blade of his own bladeless iron sword.
White light, flash!
