Section 8 Ambush in the jungle

Earl Georg and others led their knights to the camp of the Ovids. The knights wearing chain armor and plate armor were holding shields in their hands, looking around and looking arrogantly.

"Miller, we will definitely catch the Ruvid people off guard this time." Earl Georg said proudly to the Miller Knight who was wearing a chain-locked iron ring guard beside him.

"Of course, sir. After the defeat last night, the morale of the Novedes must have dropped sharply. This is a good opportunity to defeat them." Miller was wearing exquisite iron chain armor and hung protective plate armor outside the chain armor. However, he spent a lot of effort on these plate armors, looking at the gold-plated edges and the daffodil patterns carved by skilled craftsmen. The white armor made Miller even more handsome, like an angel in armor.

"Well, let's defeat those stupid Ruvids." Looking at Miller's handsome face, Earl Georg felt itchy. He turned around and looked behind him at the line of growing snake arrays.

When Count Georg's troops walked into the forest, an adjutant rode to Count Georg. He came to ask Count Georg whether to send scouts. Although the troops were to send scouts during their marching, they were caught off guard by the enemy's movements, and ordered the troops not to send scouts. To be cautious, the adjutant petitioned Count Georg again.

"No, no need to detect, those Novederes are right ahead." Earl Georg was wearing four-fingered iron gloves on his hand. The advantage of this glove is that he can hold a sword flexibly, which is more expensive than the iron gloves with four-fingered fingers. Earl Georg pointed his fingers straight to the opposite side of the forest, and his face was full of confidence.

"Of course, it's better to send some light cavalry to investigate." Miller suggested kindly. Although Miller was placed by Earl Georg as a spy, his long-term deformed relationship with Earl Georg made Miller still not want Earl Georg to have any dangerous situation.

"No, don't worry." In the conversation with Miller, Earl Georg's voice became much softer, but he still stubbornly insisted on his own opinion, perhaps because he wanted to prove his wisdom to Miller.

The team led by Earl Georg blindly marched towards the camp of the Oveids without any reconnaissance. In the depths of the dense forest, tall trees covered the sky and only leaked the broken sky from the branches and leaves. The surrounding low bushes were hiding jumping hares and badgers, and the muddy path only allowed two people to walk side by side.

"Look, in the bushes." A newly conquered stone-throwing soldier touched his companions with his arms. These stone-throwing soldiers were farmers recruited from the territory. They held a wooden stick they made in their own hands, and tied thick linen to the stick. When the enemy was far away, they would put the collected stones in the linen bag, then shake the stick desperately, so that the stones in the linen could be rotated at high speed, and then throw the stones to the distance. This weapon is very old, but the valuable thing is that it is cheap and materials can be found everywhere.

"What's wrong?" asked the companion in confusion.

"I bet there is a fat badger in it." The stone-caster said, drooling. He raised his dirty sleeves and wiped his mouth. These farmers rarely get a little bit of meat all year round. The forests and animals in the territory belong to the Lord. Any poacher will be cut off his arms and hanged in the square.

"Yes, let's catch it."

"Haha, being a soldier has such an advantage. You can hunt in other people's territory without being hanged."

They looked around and saw that the officers in the team were not careful, so they secretly left the team. In order to avoid being discovered by badgers in the bushes, they tiptoed toward the slightly trembling bushes. After walking a distance, they looked at each other and held back the joy in their hearts, stretched out their hands and jumped into the bushes.

"Ah." But in the bushes, they did not see the fat and oily badger, but caught a horned helmet. Under the horned helmet was a pair of blue eyes glaring at them. The stone casters were frightened and shouted loudly.

"What happened?" The officers in the queue immediately turned their horse's head alertly and came to the place where the screaming sound was made.

"Help." A stone-cattered soldier wearing thick gray linen ran desperately towards the officer. He shouted in fear while running. The branches and thorns beside him were scraping on him, tearing his clothes into his skin, and he didn't care at all.

"What happened? You idiot?" the officer cursed angrily. When will these damn peasant militia escape from the queue? They must hang him when they turn around.

"Ah." The stone-cattering soldier opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly a sound of breaking through the air came from behind. The stone-cattering soldier flew up and then rushed to the ground heavily. The war horse under the officer's crotch neighed in frightenedness and took a few steps back. The officer finally managed to control it.

"Damn it, it's the enemy's attack, preparation for war, preparation for war." The officer saw the back of the stone-cattering soldier and chopped a flying axe into it. It was the weapon of the Noveda. As the officer's knight, he immediately drew out his sword and warned the surroundings loudly. The soldiers immediately watched around nervously. They took off the weapons in their hands and aimed at both sides of the road with spears, bows, and stone-cattering sticks.

"Woo." The dull sound of cow horns came from the forest. It was the order of attack by the Ruveds. Many Ruveds wearing cow horns, giant helmets, holding battle axes, and wearing chain armor emerged from the surrounding forest. They made wild battle crys and launched fierce attacks on the head, belly, and tail of the Count Georg's long serpentine troops.

"Courage is above everything." The knight officer put down his helmet mask, then rushed forward and rushed out. The attendants around him also held the spear card tightly to guard the knight. The war horses under the knight were unaccustomed to running in the forest. Branches and vines often blocked the knight's sight with helmets. Several knights hit the branches and suffered non-war injuries.

"Dropping off the horse, you will dismount and fight." Miller quickly ordered loudly. The knights' high-speed charge tactics cannot be used in this dense jungle. Instead of doing so, if you don't fight off the horse, you still have a chance to fight on the knights' armor and combat skills. "Earl Georg, are you right to say this?"

"That's right." Earl Georg, who had been fooled by this sudden attack, lost his judgment. Fortunately, Miller made a tactical adjustment in time.

"Don't worry, Count Georg, I will definitely protect you." Miller got off the horse, drew out his slender sword, and guarded him next to Count Georg.

"Odin." The Ruvids who attacked this time were definitely not comparable to last night. They were tall and brave in combat, wielding sharp battle axes. They roared bloodthirstyly and applied the blood of the killed soldiers on their chests.

"Damn the Ruvid, die." A knight challenged the Ruvid Royal Guard who rushed to him. The Ruvid Royal Guard was wearing Ruvid's eye protection helmet, waving a long-handled battle axe in his hand, and wearing exquisite scales. This was something that only the elites among Ruvid people could wear.

"Kill." The knight raised his sword and slashed at the Royal Guard of the Ruvid. The Royal Guard of the Ruvid was blocked horizontally with an axe handle. The knight immediately changed to a sting, but the Royal Guard of the Ruvid quickly changed his position under his feet and avoided the Knight's sting with a double-edged sword. Both sides were wearing heavy armor, and the rustling sound from the armor was particularly noisy.

"Odin bless me." The Royal Guard of Ruvid held the tail end of the long-handled battle axe handle, then swung it up violently, slashing the battle axe hard on the left shoulder of the knight.

"Ah." The knight's left shoulder armor made a clanging sound, but fortunately it did not break. The chain armor and this strong piece of plate armor protected the knight, but the Ruvider was too strong and knocked the knight to one knee to the ground. The knight raised his head and saw the Ruvider swinging the battle axe again. This time he aimed at the knight's neck. Although there was armor here, it was the weakest place. If it was cut, it would definitely move its head. The knight quickly raised his sword and occupied the fatal blow.

"Sir, I'm here." The knight's attendant held a spear and stabbed at the Ruvets. Although the Ruvets blocked the Knight with a long-handled battle axe, they saved the Knight's life.

"Take your life." The Royal Guard of Ruvid kicked the attendant's shield and kicked the attendant to the ground. He stepped forward and quickly slashed the attendant. The heavy battle axe slashed the attendant, and blood and internal fragments were sprayed out of the attendant's mouth. The chain armor on his body only protected him from external injuries, but the internal injuries were fatal. His liver was broken by the battle axe.

"No, God." Seeing the attendant being cut down by the Ruvid, the knight roared, jumped up and rushed forward with a sword to sting in his armpit when the Ruvid raised the battle axe, and stabbed it in under his armpits. However, the powerful Ruvid gave up the battle axe in his hand and punched the knight in the face, staggering the knight back a few steps.

"Kill you." Although the Royal Guard of Ruvid was seriously injured, he was like an injured tiger, with his eyes wide open, stretched out his wide hands, grabbed the knight's neck and grabbed it hard. There was only a layer of shirt and thin chain armor on the knight's neck, which was to keep his head flexible, but it became a threat at this time.

"Cough, cough." The knight was almost breathless when he was pinched by the Ruvid. He tried hard to reach out his hand and pulled out a small sharp dagger from his waist, and then stabbed him in from the chin of the Ruvid who was approaching him.

After a moment, when the knight woke up, the Royal Guard of Ruvid had been killed by the dagger. The soldiers of Earl Georg and the Ruvid people were everywhere around. The screams of soldiers and the roars of Ruvid people from time to time filled the whole forest with blood.

"God, save us." The knight tried hard to walk in front of his servant, and saw that his servant was exhausted, so he held his hands and prayed.
