Chapter 1762 Rat Road

War horses galloped, and golden swallow-tailed flags fluttered in the wind.

The eagle on the flag is lifelike, as if it is really about to soar into the sky.

Under the banner, hundreds of cavalrymen guarding the royal family of Atantine were sitting neatly on their war horses, their bodies rising and falling, and even the rhythm of their horses were exactly the same.

Anyone who sees this cavalry team will marvel at how elite and terrifying it is.

A hundred people are like one person.

It is not something that can be achieved casually.

That requires a huge supply of money and a long time of training.

What's more, this team is not all showy.

That kind of faint evil spirit only appears in some battlefield veterans.

Therefore, Felix is ​​very proud of being the leader of this team.

As a close confidant of the Sixth Generation, he had secretly helped His Majesty clear obstacles more than once.

And this time?

Nature is no exception.

What's more, this mission is really too simple.

Not an assassination.

Not a force attack.

It's not even a battle.

It was just an 'escort'.

Escort the new Lord of Sika to Etantinoburg safely.

When he thought about the content of this mission, Felix couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Felix, who was born in a noble family, understood very well what His Majesty meant: to firmly control the Baroness in his own hands, otherwise, he would not have sent his youngest and handsome captain here.

In fact, he had already heard about the widowed Baroness who was widowed in her early years.

He was incompatible with the aristocratic circle.

Likes to read and is knowledgeable.

Of course, she was a beautiful woman who was famous for her appearance when she was young. If she hadn't insisted on rejecting the royal family because of her weird personality, she might have become the wife of a certain royal family member.

And now?

The other party is only thirty years old.

The appearance will definitely not change too much.

Thinking about it, she has both the beauty of a girl and the beauty of a young woman.

He likes this kind of woman very much.

Not to mention the huge legacy brought by the other party.

"If I can really capture this widow, maybe I won't be a squad leader anymore!"

"And my family will definitely be promoted because of my promotion."

"Even...I can build a new mansion in Etantino."

Felix, immersed in his beautiful imagination of the future, felt his whole body full of strength.

He couldn't wait to appear in front of the baroness at full speed, and then show off his grace and charm to capture her heart.

As for his fiancée?

He couldn't care less.

If the other party was willing to follow him without distinction when he completed this important step, he would still be willing to accept the other party. If the other party minded?

I'm sorry, she's just a fiancée, how could it be more important than his future and the entire family?

Felix's eyes were extremely determined after he made up his mind.

At this time, even if there is a lion blocking him in front of him, he will probably have the courage to fight.

However, animals like lions will not appear in the Sika Territory.

The ice and snow here can only breed cold-resistant and extremely adaptable creatures.

For example……

mouse!

These rodents, accompanied by a large fog, appeared silently in the dense forests on both sides of the road. They are extremely good at hiding themselves. They stared quietly and watched as the fog slowed down in front of them. The speed of the Royal Guards of Etantine.

There are no orders.

Naturally there is no offense.

They are like bystanders, watching all this.

The sudden heavy fog caused the whole team to advance slowly for a while and then stopped.

Felix, who was sitting on his horse, looked at the thick fog more than ten meters in front of him and couldn't help but sneered several times.

After accepting this task, of course he paid close attention to everything that happened in the Xika Territory.

Of course he knew about the so-called 'Misty' Church.

However, Felix didn't take it to heart.

Because...behind him is the Eitentin royal family!

"You're just a demigod who has just completed his descent. Do you really think you can be unscrupulous?"

"If you can't even deal with a demigod..."

"The royal family of Eitandine has been destroyed long ago!"

With a sneer from the bottom of his heart, the squad leader raised his right hand.

Suddenly, the subordinate cavalrymen unsheathed their swords one by one.

The blade of the sword shone with cold light, and strange lines filled the broad spine of the sword. Under the morning light, these lines bloomed with their own brilliance.

Magic weapons!

Moreover, it is not a single magic weapon.

It’s a set of hundreds of magic weapons!

These magic weapons resonate with each other and support each other.

In the end, they all converged on Felix.

An awe-inspiring aura appeared on Felix.

Feeling the power of a hundred people, Felix couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although this was not the first time he felt such power, Felix was still amazed by himself at this time.

powerful!

Incomparably powerful!

In the face of such power, what do those evil spirits mean?

Not to mention those who have not completed their descent, even those who have completed their descent, he has killed two in this state.

And demigods?

Involuntarily, Felix's face once again showed a sneer full of sarcasm and murderous intent.

He picked up the golden swallow-tailed flag tied behind his back.

Maybe he's still a little weak against demigods at this moment, but he comes with a 'battle flag'.

Without hesitation, Felix poured all his strength into it.

Phew!

An eagle cry that shattered gold and stone resounded across the sky.

The lifelike falcon on the golden swallowtail flag comes to life!

It first moved its neck and turned its head to look at the fog. Its sharp eyes seemed to pierce the fog and see everything in the fog.

Then--

It flew directly from the battle flag.

Without the eagle's battle flag, the golden color was dim, but the next moment, a richer golden color appeared on the eagle's body.

Just like a slowly rising sun, the eagle keeps flying upward.

Sunlight is absorbed by it.

The light and heat brought by the sun converged on it. After just two breaths, this golden figure became impossible to look at directly.

Brilliant, warm.

Brilliant, dazzling.

It's exactly like the second rising sun.

It keeps climbing.

Not just the body, but also the momentum.

When it reached the peak visible to the naked eye, the eagle dived like a bomber, fell from the sky, and plunged straight into the fog.

Woo!

The strong wind brought by it blew the cheeks of Felix and others, causing them to narrow their eyes involuntarily. Even the most well-trained war horses could not help but retreat at this time.

The mist blocking them started to roll, as if water was boiling.

next moment--

boom!

A huge explosion shot into the sky.

Golden light swept all around.

The ground shook for a few seconds before stopping.

When the shaking on the ground stopped, the fog dissipated.

Also disappearing together was a figure.

Very unclear.

Very vague.

But Felix saw it.

Several sharpshooters among his subordinates also saw it.

Neither Felix nor the marksmen were surprised by this.

This is normal!

After all, this battle flag was prepared for those so-called 'demigods'.

The sun shines all over the earth again.

All the members of the Royal Guard of Etantine could clearly see a huge pit with a diameter of dozens of meters on the ground in front of them.

Not only the main road along the way, but also the dense forests on both sides were affected.

"dismount!"

"Detour!"

Felix issued new orders.

A pothole with a depth of two meters is not something that a war horse can cross.

Even if their horses are carefully selected.

All the guards of the Atantine royal family jumped off their horses, led their own horses, and carefully walked around the edge of the pit.

In order to speed up, Felix divided the entire team into two groups and went around the two sides of the pit.

Although there was no crowd, the queue was chaotic.

In this regard, Felix did not stop at all.

Because he knows very well that no matter how elite the team is, it is impossible to remain uniform at this time.

Besides, the biggest enemy has been killed.

leftover?

Naturally it's the turn to receive the spoils.

Felix thought of the Baroness again and immediately began to make a plan.

As a young man born into a noble family, he not only has many ways to pursue girls, but he also knows which method is most suitable.

Thinking of certain situations, the captain of the Etentin Royal Guard couldn't help but smile.

What he didn't notice was that some small, gray-black figures were quietly approaching.

Then, Felix was even more distracted by the bad road surface.

Because of the high temperature brought by the explosion just now, the surrounding frozen soil has completely softened, mixed with the former snow water, and the road under Felix's feet now seems like mud.

Looking at the mud on his clean boots, Felix frowned, but in order to prevent himself from falling, he had to concentrate on walking on the edge of the pit with one foot shallow and the other foot.

Not just Felix, but his subordinates as well.

Even the most astute veterans are no exception.

After all, their biggest enemy has been eliminated, right?

Moreover, none of them wanted to fall down in the mud and become the laughing stock of their colleagues.

until……

"ah!"

A sudden scream sounded from the team.

All the members of the escort team immediately drew their swords and looked towards the place where the screams were heard.

A member of the escort was covering his wrist, and at his feet was a crushed rat.

"Damn it, rat!"

The member cursed under his breath, and then signaled to his colleagues around him that he was fine.

"You must have touched honey on your wrist, otherwise why would the mouse bite you?"

"yes!"

Then, there was a burst of laughter.

Hearing such laughter, Felix didn't pay attention.

However, the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart made him couldn't help but look around.

Then, the squad leader with excellent eyesight noticed something was wrong.

His expression changed greatly.

"Notice!"

He reminded his subordinates loudly.

But, it's too late.

Swarms of rats rushed forward.

One hundred and fifty rats were divided into two teams with clear division of labor.

Each one will charge towards a member of the royal guard, while the remaining fifty rats will go straight towards the war horses.

Xilulu!

Each mouse showed its sharp teeth and bitten the neck and buttocks of the war horse wantonly. After a few bites, it was replaced by another one.

The pain caused the horses to twist and turn, and the people most directly affected were their owners.

The members of the escort standing beside the war horse were already in a hurry by the sudden rat. At this time, they were either hit to the ground or brought to the ground by their own war horses.

Originally, with the strength of these escort members, they would not be in such a bad situation.

But the relaxation after the enemy was eliminated made them lose their vigilance.

Coupled with the thin mud on the ground, their strength was greatly restricted.

Therefore, such a strange picture appeared——

A group of rats achieved a brief victory against the most elite troops of the Kingdom of Atantine.

The reason why it is said to be a short-lived victory.

Naturally, the teeth of rats cannot cause any fatal damage to this team.

Unless it's like biting the neck.

And the chance of this is really too small.

It can basically be said to be negligible.

But it wasn't just mice that appeared at this moment.

Felix, knowing this well, shouted loudly.

"gather!"

"gather!"

The mouse had already been crushed to death by him.

However, Felix did not relax his vigilance. He knew very well that the mouse was just a tool for the enemy to disrupt the rhythm, and the real killing move was yet to come.

At this time, it is natural to gather the team and gather strength again.

But before the team could gather together, the shadow under Felix's feet was distorted, and the upper evil spirit emerged from the shadow, and his palm passed over the opponent's neck.

puff!

Blood spurted out, Felix clutched his throat and fell to the ground with a look of disbelief.

Felix, who had been on guard ever since the mouse appeared, couldn't believe that the enemy was actually hiding in his shadow.

Looking at Felix who fell to the ground, the upper evil spirit who had been hiding for a long time and used illusion magic to create a thick fog glanced at the corner of his mouth.

Much easier than it thought.

These guys come prepared.

And the goal is clear.

This is not good news for most people, but it is good news for higher evil spirits.

When you are prepared, you are naturally targeted.

Simply put, it is much easier to deal with a group of people who are preconceived than to deal with enemies who are always on guard.

However, the other party's ability was beyond the expectations of the superior evil spirit.

"To be able to establish a kingdom on a land with gods, he is indeed no simple guy."

The upper evil spirit whispered to himself.

The kind of fighting method that gathers the strength of everyone and merges it into one person will not be underestimated by high-ranking evil spirits.

It has the same view as its own Boss: quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

This is just a hundred people.

What if there are thousands of people?

I am afraid that even with its immortality, it will suffer an irreversible blow.

And what if there are ten thousand people?

It is estimated that the God of War, Lady Calamity, etc. will avoid its edge.

Of course, the weaknesses are also obvious.

That ‘one person’ was not chosen at random.

Not only people, but also swords.

The high-ranking evil spirit who possesses enough equivalent mysterious knowledge picked up Felix's sword without hesitation, smiled at the members of the royal guard who rushed towards it, waved his hand, and then disappeared in place. .

Then……

The fog appeared again.

The angry shouts randomly turned into panic.

then?

Gradually silent.
