Chapter 92 Rainy Night

The devil let out an unwilling roar.

Around its huge and strong body, there were corpses all over the ground, all of which were killed by the black magic blade in his hand. There were no wounded, all of them were dead. However, although the demon's body was huge, although it was agile, and although its black magic blade could knock down several soldiers with a sweep, it was only one of them alone and was severely damaged by muskets.

At the beginning, with its fear aura, the demon dispersed a whole group of soldiers. Unfortunately, there were too many guards at the city gate. Legend has it that water can wash away the evil of the demon, which is also proved now. In the heavy rain, the demons had almost no chance to use their evil power. What's more coincidental is that the captain of the city gate guard this time was a veteran with rich combat experience, and he was very clear about the advantages and weaknesses of the demons.

The battle was bloody and short, but the outcome was obvious. At this moment, the powerful demon was surrounded by heavy forces. Or to be specific, more than twenty spears were stabbed on it at this time. The front chest, back, ribs, lower abdomen, neck, throat, head, and all parts that could produce fatal effects were attacked. Every soldier gritted his teeth and poked hard at all, trying to make the wound bigger. Such injuries could not be withstood even the demons.

The demon's body slowly turned from a physical body to a phantom. Its body collapsed and began to disintegrate, and the black demon blade in his hand disappeared. As the last blow, the officer walked up from the side and stabbed hard at the demon's eyes with the sword in his hand.

The demon's figure collapsed instantly and disappeared into the air, leaving only an angry roar echoing in the air.

The battle was over, and before the captain could even handle various post-war affairs, his subordinates informed him of someone riding a horse out of the city gate just now.

"Bastard, why don't you stop him?" Before the captain could speak, an official next to him immediately cursed. Although most of the soldiers were dealing with this demon who appeared in unknown places, some scattered soldiers were still scattered around.

"Wait, tell me how he rushed out."

The reported soldier reported the situation one by one. The opportunity for the rider who suddenly appeared was really good. Only a very small number of soldiers could stand in front of him. As we all know, if there is no neat queue, infantry cannot stop the cavalry. In a one-on-one situation, even if a desperate outlaw insists on blocking, his fate will be that he will definitely be knocked out by a horse. Besides, this one was not here to charge, he calmly avoided the scattered soldiers who might block the road and rushed straight to the small gate.

"He rushed out like this?"

"There are several musketeers on the city tower who fired their guns," said the news. In the battle with the demons just now, most musketeers fired immediately, but there were still a few who did not fire. They were also the only ones who tried to stop the rider. But it was obvious that the musketeers could not hit the flexible cavalry, and even if they hit it, they could not stop him from rushing to escape.

The captain came to the city gate. Although it was raining heavily outside, the ground here was relatively dry. He stared at the horseshoe marks on the ground, suddenly stopped, and squatted down, carefully looking at a red mark.

"What is this?" someone asked.

"Bloods." The captain looked at the blood on the ground. "The musket just now... the bullet did not fail, but I just don't know if the person hit the target... Wait... it's not a human, the bullet hit the horse! If it was a human, if it hit the head, the person would definitely be finished and could not run out at all. If the body hit the body, the blood that gushed out would be absorbed by the clothes as soon as possible. The distance is too short, and the blood cannot drip directly to the ground. The only explanation is that the bullet hit the horse!"

He stood up and shouted at his subordinates. "Hurry up, let the cavalry chase!"

"How can I chase such heavy rain?" a subordinate said in embarrassment. "I don't know where they ran to."

"It's impossible for them to run too far in such rain." The captain said. "He couldn't escape along the way, and he would definitely choose the direction of the wilderness ridge as much as possible..." His voice became lighter, and he turned to look at the official who had been following him after the battle. "... Maybe he can catch up."

"We must report this to the Duke immediately," he added. The uniformed official nodded vigorously.

...

"Go in and hide for the rain!" Ashu Rufate said to the little girl at the wooden house next to him. Heavy rain is a rare ally for the runaway. It will wash away the scent, wash away the footprints, and block the pursuit's vision. But the rain is too heavy at this moment - in fact, since they rushed out of the city gate, the rain has been strengthening. It is not so much that it is raining, but someone in the sky pours water down into buckets. Experienced people can see that this heavy rain will take at least half the night.

Although they were wearing cloaks to shelter from the rain, to be honest, it is probably the same whether there is such a cloak or not, not to mention that they are still riding horses and running wildly.

It doesn't matter to Ashu Rufat himself (he has long known that his physique is beyond ordinary people), but the little girl may not be able to stand it. Through the contact of her body, he could feel the little girl trembling in the wind and rain.

"I can still hold on." The little girl said reluctantly. Ashu Rufat chuckled. He knew that the little girl was holding on because he could clearly see the little girl's purple lips.

"It's okay, we have run far enough. On such a rainy night... it's impossible for someone to chase after you." Ashu Rufat said. "Besides, the horse may not be able to stand it anymore. Our horse was hit by a bullet just now... It must be handled. Quickly enter this wooden house!"

Through the rain, you can see that there is a forest around you. This should be a small forest on the outskirts of the city, and this wooden house is a temporary building such as a loggers hut or a hunter hut. The house is very small, just a temporary place to live, and cannot be truly inhabited, but it can also temporarily shelter from the wind and rain.

Like all such buildings, the doors of the cottage are not locked, and the reason for this door is built is to block the wind and rain.

A few minutes later, the two people entered the hut, and the horse stopped under a big tree next to it. As mentioned earlier, the hut was very small and simple. Some garbage could be seen in the corners, and the roof on the side was leaking, but there was a fire pool in the middle of the hut and some dry firewood on the side.

Ash Rufate embraced the wind of flame and drew a trace of energy from the wind of magic. After a few minutes, the flames lit up in the pool of fire.

At this moment, both of them were already wet. Ash Rufate was fine. He was wearing armor and leather clothes inside. The little girl's clothes were of high-quality fabric, and they were all wet and stuck to her body. The cloak was an exception. Ash Rufate untied it from the little girl, but just shook it in the air, and all the water droplets on the cloak fell. The cloak made by the elf was very magical. I don't know what raw materials were made of. This raw material not only could resist bullets, but also did not touch water and fire. The only pity was that this cloak was too thin, and water, fire and even sunlight could penetrate through the gaps in the fabric.

"Take off the clothes." Ashu Rufat said to the shiver little girl. "Then wrap it around and roast it, otherwise you will definitely get sick. I'll check the horse's condition." He handed her the cloak and walked into the heavy rain.

For a long time, Ashu Rufate walked into the cabin again. The little girl was already wearing a cloak and sat by the campfire to keep warm. When Ashu Rufate came in, she didn't even look up her head and take a look.

Ashu Rufat sat opposite her - he did not take off his armor, so he sat opposite the little girl to make a fire.

Neither of them spoke. Ashu Rufate stared at the jumping flames, while the little girl lowered her head and buried her head in her arms. After a long time, she suddenly raised her head.

"I... am no longer a queen?"

Perhaps she had escaped from Eagle Falcon City and the biggest and most direct pressure was eliminated, so the little girl began to consider her future. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was about to fall.

"As long as you think you are a queen, you are still a queen." Ashu Rufate's voice was much calmer, as if everything that happened was a trivial matter that was insignificant to him.

"But... I've... nothing left." The little girl probably already figured out her situation. At this moment, just like the situation she encountered on the street alone before. Although she was still a queen, no one admitted it, and she had nothing at all. "What's the use of me?" she said. She had learned a lot of things, but there was no knowledge or knowledge to face the current situation. In addition, she ran out with Ash Rufate empty-handedly, and now she has nothing left except the set of clothes that were slowly roasted on the side.

"If you don't have any use, then why does Byron spend a lot of effort to catch you?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"But now I have something besides this title of queen... what else do I have?" she said softly. "Can you tell me what I did wrong? Why can they all execute Byron's orders without hesitation, but don't care about me, the real queen?"

"This title is everything," Ash Rufate replied. "It seems nothing is right in this situation, no one cares, no one cares, and having this title is even worse than not... But just change the environment... this title has terrifying power and can dominate the fate of others. As for your other question, what you did wrong... In fact, you haven't had time to do anything yet, where did the mistake come from? As for why those people obey Byron but ignore you, I told you before, because their interests with Byron are tied together."

"It's just that simple... for a little benefit?"

"That's right. This is what the world is. For a little benefit, the strong will resort to violence, and the weak will betray their personality."
