Chapter 956: Misunderstanding and Conspiracy

Chapter 957: Misunderstanding and Conspiracy

Just as Paglio stood up, there was a roar in the distance.

The voice was so loud that it could penetrate one’s soul. The knights only felt their hearts throbbing. The hands holding the sword trembled as they covered their chests, showing an uncomfortable expression. Even Proyo and the 2 Saint powerhouses were no exception.

Chen Rui was not affected because of the ‘protection’ of Dodo and Zola.

Paglio snorted, let out a low roar – A dragon roar.

Although this dragon roar was not very loud, it had an incomparably powerful strength, completely defeating the strange power of the opponent, then the abnormality of everyone disappeared immediately.

The raging whistle sound immediately pinpointed the direction of the dragon roar. In the blink of an eye, someone had approached. Paglio flicked and disappeared on the top of the carriage.

In the blink of an eye, the night sky in the distance lit up with a muffled sound, accompanied by raging roars and violent collisions. The moonlight in that space became distorted. One could imagine a fierce battle was taking place.

Chen Rui used his eyesight to look. He saw Paglio and a figure fighting fiercely. The man had silver and white hair, wore black full-body armor, and held a large dark red hammer. His strength was comparable to the poison dragon, which had now reached the intermediate stage of Kingdom level, but his stature was surprisingly short— Hobbit!

Chen Rui suddenly remembered that this area was the location of the Black Rock Mountain. When he and Ina’s Iron Shield Mercenary Squad went to the Garden City, they had visited the Thick Soil Castle of the hobbit. He proved himself with his forging skills. Chen Rui comprehended the realm of mechanics as a quasi-grand master, formed a friendship with the Hobbit King Ovge, and accepted the Holy Leaf Heraldry on behalf of the mountain hobbit as an ambassador to the Jade Forest Sea.

The hobbit who is fighting with Paglio should be the super powerhouse guarding the mountain hobbit. Generally speaking, unless it is out of self-defense, the hobbit will not take the initiative to attack humans. Why did they want to assassinate me, the prince of the Holy Empire?

At this time, there was a heavy and tidy sound in the front, which was the sound of footsteps. It seemed that a large number of enemies were approaching.

“The hobbit! It’s the mountain hobbit’s elite large shield warriors!” The investigating knight ahead panted while reporting, “There are thousands of them!”

The knights were shocked, and Proyo showed a solemn expression. The hobbits have extremely strong melee combat capabilities. The elite large shield warriors are the main infantry troops of the hobbits whose combat power is above the Dragon Scale Legion. Furthermore, there are thousands of them. There must be a Saint powerhouse hobbit commanding them. Whether in terms of the difference in strength or number of people, and the super powerhouse of our side is being held off, the odds of winning are almost zero.

Proyo immediately ordered, “Immediately clear the obstacles behind to retreat. Abandon the carriage and retreat at full speed in the direction of the Yang Shao Capital!”

Using the speed of the warhorse to throw off the hobbit army was the only way to survive.

“Not good! General, there are many enemies rushing out from the mountain behind. It’s the bear cavalry of the mountain hobbit! We are surrounded!”

Bear cavalry was the unique cavalry of the hobbits. The mount was not a war horse, but a war bear raised by the hobbits. It was fierce and berserk with strong offensive and defensive capabilities. It was best at mountain combat, and it had a natural deterrent effect on war horses.

“Damn it! The mountain hobbit actually colluded with the assassins!” Proyo gritted his teeth, “The situation is extremely critical now, so we can only take a risk to break through! I will first lead the warriors of the Dragon Scale Legion into 2 teams of cavalry to lead the hobbit away. The main force, Bedell and Cardo plus the sir guardian protect His Highness Arthur while waiting for the opportunity to escape to the mountain!”

Proyo’s decision was equivalent to sacrificing himself and the Dragon Scale Legion’s elites to cover Chen Rui’s escape. Bedell and Cardo simultaneously expressed moving. Chen Rui suddenly spoke up, “I don’t think the hobbit is necessarily an accomplice of the assassin. There must be some misunderstanding?”

“In any case, Your Highness must be out of danger first!” Proyo frowned, “Every minute we delay, Your Highness’ danger increases by 1 point!”

“You all are the most loyal and heroic warriors.” Chen Rui shook his head, “I will not give up all your lives to escape. Besides, now is not the time of despair yet. Proyo, I order you to send someone to try to communicate with the large shield warrior hobbit in front. If he can’t communicate, return immediately.”

“Your Highness! Now is not…”

“This is my order!”

Proyo sighed and bowed his head, “Yes.”

The knights around clenched the swords in their hands. No matter what, this Royal Highness Third Prince was able to stay and share the woes with everyone, so he had won everyone’s respect. Even if they had to shed the last drop of blood, they would stand before His Highness.

Soon, the knight sent from the front quickly rode their horses to report, “The hobbits did not respond in the slightest, but they continued to move forward, full of hostility.”

The knight who was scouting behind also came to report, “The bear cavalry had spread out to form a semi-encirclement and are approaching!”

The sound of the heavy footsteps in front became clearer and clearer as if they were stepping on the hearts of everyone. On the other side, the sound of the animal roar vaguely sounded behind. The knights were all distressed, but Chen Rui’s expression didn’t change. Zola cuddled lightly on his shoulder as if she hadn’t heard these sounds. Master Dodo’s morale was high – Finally, it is my turn to show my abilities. These soft persimmons are just giving Master Truly Handsome… What is it called in that magic game? Oh yeah, merit points!

The elite large shield warriors of the hobbit appeared in the vision of the knights. They were all heavy infantry in heavy armor, armed with steel shields and battle axes or war hammers. Although they were generally short in stature, it put a lot of pressure on humans.

The knights at the rear were even more nervous because the horses had been frightened to varying degrees, which meant that the hobbit’s war bears were approaching. Although these knights were the elites of the Dragon Scale Legion, the Dragon Scale Legion was not the strongest Dragon Claw Knight Legion after all. Facing the natural nemesis of war bears, even the well-trained war horses could not restrain the panic.

“We can only fight to the death! Your Highness, I’m sorry for not being able to escort you to your destination.” Proyo drew his long sword, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

“Don’t move without my order.” Chen Rui walked up slowly. He took out a device that seemed to be a magic amplifier, and he started shouting, “Hobbits, why do you want to point your warhammer at your friends? I’m Grand Master Rick’s friend!”

The hobbit force seemed to have received some order and stopped.

A seemingly black bearded hobbit commander stepped out of the line, “Despicable cunning human! The hobbit won’t trust you anymore!”

“I think you have misunderstood something. You’re Tecklin, right? I heard Rick talk about you before. You’re a wine lover. Once, you almost burned your beard while drinking wine.”

“How do you know?” The black bearded hobbit was taken aback. Seeing the strange gazes from the hobbit warriors behind him, he quickly corrected, “Nonsense, my beard was obviously burned when I was forging the iron…”

Chen Rui actually learned the story of Tecklin’s beard from the last time Ina broke the news in the Thick Soil Castle of the hobbit. This time, the black bearded hobbit was caught off guard, and the depressed atmosphere was relieved a bit.

Chen Rui took the opportunity and said, “My hobbit friend, my destination is the Garden City, but I was ambushed by assassins here just now. You can see the roadblocks and corpses that have not been completely cleaned up here. I am not afraid of war, but I’m not willing to be the scapegoat! I hope my hobbit friends can open their eyes and see who is the friend and who is the enemy!”

Tecklin hesitated for a while, and another furious voice sounded in the sky, “Don’t believe his sophistry! This dragon clearly has terrifying poison, so they must be the ones who poisoned us! Kill all those humans first, then go to the Thick Soil Castle and tell Sterklin to come and capture the poison dragon with me!”

Poisoned? Hearing this word, Chen Rui immediately understood the possible changes in the Thick Soil Castle. The Thick Soil Castle was poisoned, the team was ambushed, the hobbit’s attack… These things are all connected in series to become a part of the whole event. Even if the poison dragon’s poison is just an accident, every part of the event is definitely not accidental. This is a well-planned assassination!

The hobbit in the distant sky changed suddenly, becoming a huge… hobbit, that is, the whole body became much larger, but the proportion of the body did not change. It was still short arms and short legs. The hammer in the hobbit’s hand turned into a pure flame, almost as dazzling as the sun. His power skyrocketed.

Not to be outdone, Paglio turned into a huge poison dragon wearing a heavy armor. The battle between the 2 sides became more and more fierce.

The strength of the hobbit was on the same level as Paglio. By right, Paglio was a dragon, and had the power of star conferring and [Star-level Enhancement], plus the quasi-artifact equipment such as Overlord Armor, it should be a steady victory. However, the hobbits had a very special gift of doubling the combat power against giant creatures. That was to say, the bigger the creature, the stronger their combat power. With this talent, the hobbit was actually in a stalemate with Paglio.

As soon as the hobbit powerhouse’s words came out, Tecklin didn’t hesitate any longer. He immediately retreated to the team and gave the order to attack. The large shield warriors in front began to charge, and the bear cavalry quickly surrounded Bedell. At the same time, several special breaths firmly locked Bedell and Cardo, the 2 Saint guardians. It was obviously the Saint powerhouse of the hobbits.

There was no doubt that this was a dead end. The palms of the knights of the Dragon Scale Legion holding their swords were sweating. The only exceptions were Chen Rui and the slime.

“Dodo, don’t move.” Chen Rui stopped the slime, who was eager to get ‘merit points’, and said to Zola, “My most beautiful and alluring guardian, please take action. I don’t want to see casualties, Uh… including those 2 delayers in the air.”

“Oh.” Ms. Fairy Dragon glanced at him with a smile, obviously satisfied with his adjective, then she slowly stood up straight under the surprised gaze of the knights.

TL: No casualties? Can Zola control so well?
