Chapter 273: The Infighting Intruders

Chapter 273: The Infighting Intruders

In the middle of the rolling dune, ten mysterious men who were completely covered in leather robes and hoods were waiting quietly. The ten horses behind them stood like puppets, their eyes were lifeless and extremely tired.

Finally, a mysterious man with a hood on his head spoke, his tone was a little anxious. “The spell won’t last long. If we can’t finish Kant in the next 12 hours, I suggest we retreat immediately. Otherwise, we’ll have to walk out of this damn desert on two legs.”

“That’s your problem.”, the leading the mysterious man said in an indifferent tone. “You’re in charge of the horse. If there’s a problem, it’s naturally your responsibility. I hope you can be mentally prepared.”

“Oh, damn it!”

The mysterious man at the back was enraged and raised the staff in his hand, “Don’t think that I’m afraid of you.”, he said in an angry voice. “You have to know that if it weren’t for someone paying a high price, with my status, I would be drinking the best black tea in the Mage Tower and enjoying delicious desserts!”

“This is the rule of your life. There’s no need to say more.”. The leading mysterious men was not afraid at all. His tone was still indifferent as he said calmly, “But if something goes wrong, you will also pay the price.”

“You are threatening me.”, the man narrowed his eyes and raised the magic staff inlaid with gemstones.

“Threatening? No, you have misunderstood. I am just telling the truth.”

The leading mysterious man did not seem to have noticed the elemental power in the air, he spoke indifferently, “There are many mages in the Mage Tower. My master has paid a price to invite you, so you have to show your corresponding value.”. He paused and slowly turned his head, he looked at the mysterious man at the back indifferently. “Also, shut your whining mouth, or you won’t be able to return to your Mage Tower alive.”

“You…”, the mysterious man at the back gritted his teeth. At the tip of the magic staff in his hand, a dark red light was illuminated within the gem. It was like a raging flame contained within it, ready to explode with a terrifying blazing flame at any time.

But in the end, he did not release it.

He snorted coldly and lowered his magic staff in extreme indignation. He stood at the back with a cold face and did not say anything else.

However, the atmosphere in the team had calmed down.

The leading mysterious man looked calm, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

In the Mage Tower, the mages who lived a good life and liked to study magic, who fought on the battlefield and trained hard in the training ground day and night to obtain an excellent physique, were even stronger in close combat.

That’s right, he was the grand knight who had mastered the mysterious magical strength.

Within a range of less than three meters.

Even if this mysterious fire mage was the first to cast a spell at him, he could still survive.

Because he could move in an instant in such a short distant. He could draw his sword and easily killed this mage who overestimated himself and looked down on everything. It was very easy for him.

However, he still needed the help of this mage to take care of the next mission.

Including the other eight mysterious people behind him, they were all desperadoes and powerhouses that were recruited by their master with a huge amount of money and cost, all for the purpose of killing Baron Kant, who was about to pass by this road and was protected by many elite cavalries. It was a mission that only allowed success, not failure!

If not for this reason, he would have easily killed this mage. After all, in close combat, even a high-level mage would not be a match for an ordinary grand knight like him.

The others looked on coldly.

They were gathered together because of benefits.

To be honest, even for this mission, they felt that they were overqualified and could easily complete it.

It was just killing a small noble.

And it was the least favorite son of the Duke, who was exiled in the desert and was known well throughout the country.

Baron Kant.

If they killed this baron and acted carefully, they would probably not be wanted. Perhaps burying his body in the desert would make it hard for others to figure out whether this baron was hiding his identity and escaping from the cruel environment of the Nahrin Desert, or was he really killed by someone.

Right now, the public opinion of the Dukedom of Leo was all about this Baron Kant, when he died in the Nahrin Desert and when he escaped from the Nahrin Desert. As for the so-called development in the desert, it was really laughable joke.

Could the Nahrin Desert, this damned place, still be developed?

Oh, a salt mine was discovered.

But even if this salt mine existed, it was not something that the exiled Baron could set foot in!

Therefore, they all stood there quietly and waited. They looked at the path that the camel’s footprints had made outside the dune. They understood that Kant’s team was about to arrive.

They felt relaxed about this. There were also people who turned their heads to look at the barren desert in boredom. They felt that the temperature was getting hotter as the sun appeared. When they felt the temperature was rising as compared to the cold winter at night, they felt even more relieved that they did not fall into this environment to survive. Just like what the people described about the Nahrin Desert, it was truly as terrifying as hell.

The mysterious person in the lead also sighed in his heart. It was such a place that actually had salt mines. The fine white salt produced there was no less than the high-quality white salt purchased from the Dwarf Kingdom.

The profits was tempting, and greed rose in his heart.

That was why the master behind him made this choice.

He commanded them remotely to kill Kant, who was with a title of lord. When that time came, the chaotic situation would be beneficial for the lord behind him to enter this desert and seize that salt mine!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, the mysterious grand knight raised his head. On the dune in the distance, groups of black dots appeared. They were galloping on the undulating dune under the sunlight. Occasionally, there were a few pieces of shiny colors flashing over, it seemed that the polished armor was reflecting the sunlight.

“They’re here.”, he said in a deep voice. His hand was already reached deep into his linen robe. He held the longsword that he carried with him. “Everyone, I think you all understand your mission.”

“Of course.”

A reply came from behind, including the cold snort of the mysterious mage at the back.

But no one cared about that now.

They slowly moved back and rode on the back of the horses with dull eyes full of bloodshot, and looked extremely tired, but still full of energy. They circled around the dune and laid in ambush, ready to launch a sudden attack.

Their plan was very perfect. In fact, if it were anyone else, they would have stepped into this trap.

Kant was different.

He had already received the warning from the system.

Along the way, not only him, but even the 33 Swadian royal knights behind him and the remaining 70 Swadian knights were all alert as they observed the front, the two wings, and the rear with extreme vigilance.

When they crossed the dune under their feet and officially entered the dune area with a more complicated and continuous environment, the royal knights who had enhanced their eyesight and could see very far instantly discovered that the 10 mysterious men were riding on horses and planned to move behind the dune. They immediately reported.

“Lord Kant, if my guess is correct, those people are the attackers.”

The captain of the royal knights spoke.

In a short period of time, they had been divided into three standard combat teams of 11 people in each team. This formation was convenient for commanding.

At the same time, when they faced the enemy, they could attack separately and break through in a concentrated manner. This could be considered the traditional routine of the heavy cavalry.

As experienced and top-tier heavy cavalry, these royal knights naturally had excellent combat skills. For example, they formed their own teams and protected Lord Kant during wartime. These were all actions that needed to be taken.

“Alright.”, Kant nodded.

He also saw the black shadow that disappeared from the dune in the distance.

However, with his knight body, he could still see them vaguely from afar. It was only because he was on high alert and focused on the terrain in front of him that he was able to notice them. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to notice them if he looked at it casually.

Since he noticed them now, he could react now. The heavy cavalries that Kant was leading were all elites!

The royal knights were the elites of the elites!

The possessors of magical strength!

Three teams of royal knights each brought two teams of knights and slowly dispersed in the desert.

The hooves of the warhorse heavily trampled on the sand layer. However, due to the softness of the sand layer and the support of the system, it would not completely sink into the hooves of the warhorse. Therefore, the sound of the warhorse galloping was very soft.

Although it could not take advantage of the speed advantage of the plains and the stone roads.

However, the concealment ability was greatly increased.

If it was the plains or the stone roads, the booming sounds would have long shook the eardrums and resounded throughout the sky.

Kant personally led 10 knights forward.

Their speed remained unchanged, they were still not being noticed by the attackers. However, outside the two sides of the dune, the speed of the royal knights and knights who surrounded them in the long dragon formation was even faster.

The 33 royal knights were like long lances, easily riding their horses to attack the dune. The military horses under them seemed to possess a mysterious power, and they were extremely fast when they stepped on the sand, they were a distance away from the ordinary knights, and reached the predetermined encirclement in the shortest time possible.

Kant and the others had only traveled half the distance.

The distance between two sides was getting closer.

The royal knights and knights who had entered the anti-ambush location also began to move forward quietly in the dune.

Everyone was making preparations.

Including the mysterious attackers behind the dune.

They were very sure that the cavalries that they had seen and the intelligence they had received should have a large number of cavalries protecting Kant. It was definitely different from the current 11 people. The number was pitifully small.

Some astonishment appeared in everyone’s hearts.

But as Kant approached, they suppressed the astonishment in their hearts.

They were just ordinary heavy cavalries. Perhaps they were at the level of knights, but with just the ten people here who possessed the magical strength, as long as they were careful, they would be able to exterminate this group of cavalries in a minute!

This was not arrogance, but the confidence of their strength!

However.

At the end, the mysterious mage holding a magic staff in his hand had hatred in his eyes under the mask.

As he swept his gaze across the group of cavalries in front of him, he felt even more humiliated in his heart.

He suddenly had a method that could perfectly complete the mission and also secretly solve his own trouble!

Fire elements jumped around at his fingertips.

The expert-level fire arrow was ready.

If the opportunity allowed, he would pretend to make a careless mistake and shot the spell that could pierce through armor and explode the human body towards the behind of the magical knight in the lead.

If he offended a noble mage, he would receive the punishment he deserved!
