A reindeer suddenly darted out of the lush forest.
It ran very quickly, as if it was hiding from an enemy.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow pierced through the layers of leaves and accurately pierced through the reindeer's body.
Footsteps sounded, and three hunters appeared beside the reindeer's corpse.
"Sir Rego, your archery skills are too exquisite! You hit every shot! "An attendant carried the reindeer's corpse on his shoulder and praised loudly.
The Knight of Rego curled his lips, "It's just a reindeer, what's there to be surprised about. Hurry up and help me find where there are wild boars in this forest. Today I want to treat Sir Viscounts to roast pig trotters! "
"Yes, yes."
The three continued to walk forward. Suddenly, the Knight of Rego stopped.
Because a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The person was tall and thin, wearing a half-body chainmail with a longsword at his waist. He wore a tight helmet that hid his face.
The Knight of Rego frowned, feeling that this person's appearance was a bit strange.
He cautiously asked, "I am a knight under Viscount Angley of Icestone City — — Rego Morben. May I ask who you are?"
The strange person in front of them didn't answer Rego's question.
Seeing this, one of the attendants instantly became angry, "Hey! Rude brat, which mercenary group are you from? Why aren't you answering Sir Rego's question! "
The other side was still silent.
The attendant became even angrier and immediately strode forward, trying to take off the strange person's helmet.
Rego didn't stop him, but instead reached for the knight's sword at his waist.
"Hey! Do you understand what I'm saying or not … Ah!!! "
Amidst the screams, the attendant stepped into the trap, and his right foot was instantly pierced until it was a bloody mess.
"Clang!"
Rego immediately pulled out his sword and said angrily, "Brat, this is the last warning. Take off your helmet, throw down your sword, and tell us your identity! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! "
However, the strange person was still unmoved by Rego's warning.
Rego didn't speak anymore. He held his breath and focused, holding his sword with both hands as he slowly approached the strange person.
But before he could reach the strange man, he heard a scream behind him.
Legg abruptly turned around and saw that the other attendant following him had also been ambushed.
"Bastard!" Legg roared angrily and was about to go back to save the servant.
At this moment, the tall and skinny freak suddenly moved.
"I've been waiting for you!" Legg didn't panic at all. It was as if he had been prepared for this. He turned around and slashed at his opponent.
"Clang!"
The two swords clashed.
Legg was shocked. "You're a knight!"
The tall and skinny freak didn't answer. He swung his sword again.
The uneasiness in Legg's heart grew stronger.
An unfamiliar knight that had suddenly appeared in the outskirts of Icestone City, and a third rank one at that.
This obviously alerted Legg.
Could it be that there were other lords targeting the Angele family?
Legg immediately recalled that the mastermind behind the assassination of the Viscounts in the Kingdom of Graycastle had not been caught yet.
Could it be...
Boom!
Legg swung his sword heavily, forcing the mysterious knight to retreat. Then, he did not chase after him. Instead, he turned and ran.
The other party had planned this beforehand. This was probably a trap!
The Viscounts must be in danger as well!
Legg didn't dare to stop. He didn't even care about the two attendants behind him. He broke into a run and ran in the direction of Colin.
That mysterious knight also chased after him.
With one running and one chasing, the two ran quite a distance.
Just as the mysterious knight chased after Legg's footsteps and jumped over a small stream, Legg suddenly stopped in his tracks. Then, he abruptly turned around and swung his sword just as the knight landed on the ground.
The mysterious knight didn't dodge and was stabbed in the stomach by Legg's sword.
"Haha! You didn't expect this, did you? "A sly smile appeared on Legg's fierce face.
However, this smile quickly froze.
Because, the other party actually didn't care about the longsword in his stomach and swung his sword again!
This reckless action caught Legg off guard. In order to prevent his forearm from being cut off, he could only let go of his sword.
"Which family's knight are you? Are you crazy? " Seeing the mysterious knight with a sword in his stomach and still chasing after him as if nothing had happened, Legg felt that this world was too crazy.
Now that he didn't have a weapon, he didn't dare to look back and could only continue running forward.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow shot over, but Legg narrowly dodged it.
"Not good, this guy has a helper!" Legg was scared out of his wits. He realized that he was going to die today.
Then, a few more arrows shot out from the forest, causing Legg to be tired of dodging. Soon, the mysterious knight behind him caught up.
"Chi!"
Legg screamed in pain. His thigh was cut by the other party.
"Wait, who are you? At least let me know who killed me? "Legg fell to the ground and panted.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't care about Legg.
"Peng!"
The mysterious knight swung his scabbard and heavily smashed the back of Legg's head.
Legg screamed in pain again, "Are you trying to knock me out? Can you use more strength! "
"Peng!"
Another hit.
This time, Legg finally fainted.
… …
"Legg, Legg? Wake up! "
Legg opened his eyes in a daze and saw Colin's face.
"Sir Viscounts?" Legg's consciousness didn't seem to be fully awake.
After a while, he finally woke up and hurriedly asked, "Sir Viscounts! Are you okay? I was attacked by a mysterious knight just now and almost couldn't see you again! "
Colin held back his laughter and comforted him, "I'm fine. Luckily, I heard your screams and brought people over in time. The knight who attacked you must have heard our movements and ran away. "
"Ran away?" Legg had a look of pity. He felt that he couldn't take revenge.
"Are you okay? You look so pale. "Colin asked with concern.
"I'm fine. My leg is a little injured. It's not a big deal. However, I'm a little dizzy. I probably lost too much blood. "
"Then you should quickly stop the bleeding." Colin waved at a servant behind him, indicating for him to bandage Legg's wound.
"Sir Viscounts, that mysterious knight is probably a woman." Legg suddenly said.
"Oh? You saw her face? "Colin asked expressionlessly.
"I didn't. However … "Legg rubbed his big bald head. He seemed to have touched the injured area and grimaced in pain." However, when she tried to knock me out, she didn't succeed. With such little strength, she should be a woman! "
The corner of Colin's mouth twitched. He was a little speechless. "Is that so? Then this is indeed a useful clue. "
"Yes. Also, Sir Viscounts, I suspect that this person might be related to the mastermind who tried to assassinate you in Graycastle."
"Yes. How about this, it's not safe here. Let's return to Icestone City first. You'll be in charge of investigating this matter. "
"Alright." Legg gritted his teeth. "I must catch that damned female knight! And then smash her head! "
