Chapter 57 Attack
Perhaps because he regards these things as his own, Ormando has been quite serious these days and rides a horse to patrol every day, which seems very responsible.
Chen Heng saw all this, just smiled, and didn't say anything.
They walked forward all the way.
The road to this world is very difficult to walk.
This is an obvious thing.
In modern society, a good path is blood vessels that transfusions can greatly accelerate the transportation of materials, reduce trade obstacles, and have a good effect on economic growth.
But for the lords of this era, whether a good path can be profitable will not be ignored, but the danger is invisible and intangible.
A road in good condition means that the time required for the enemy to attack is greatly reduced, and that your risk factor will be greatly increased.
When it comes to economy and trade, most of these lords know nothing about it, but these lords are very sensitive to military threats.
So in many things, let alone actively building convenient roads, some places will even actively destroy roads in order to better hinder the pace of the enemy army's progress.
Under such circumstances, the road conditions of this era can be imagined.
It was obviously not far away, but Chen Heng and others walked for three or four days before they approached the end.
"It's almost here..."
Walking on the road, Baron Kayson said, "I walked this road when I was young."
"Continue from here, and walk a little further, you will reach the territory of Baron Myra."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to get to the place in a few hours."
He spoke like this, a smile appeared on his face.
"There is news from Baron Myra that he will bring people to greet and bring us into his estate."
Aside from the side, a young man also spoke.
"That's good."
Chen Heng's face was calm and he nodded with a smile.
At this moment, he was riding on a horse and was about to say something, but suddenly he was stunned and subconsciously looked in a certain direction in the distance.
At this moment, through his keen sense, he had already noticed that something seemed strange in the distance.
"Come?"
Feeling this feeling, his face remained unchanged, and this thought flashed through his mind.
Next, the team moved forward as usual.
Perhaps because of the reason why we are about to arrive at our destination, everyone in the team is speeding up, and we want to reach our destination as soon as possible to take a rest.
However, in this process, an accident happened.
On a small path, waves of shouts of killing came from a distance, accompanied by a flying arrow.
As Chen Heng looked at him, many people wearing leather armor emerged from the jungle and rushed towards them quickly.
"Is this... a thief?"
Looking at the many figures appearing in front of him, Baron Kayson was shocked: "So many?"
There were a lot of people appearing in front of me. Judging from this, the number of people was almost three or four hundred.
There are three or four hundred people, and this number seems to be small, but in fact, it is already a very huge number around it.
As far as Chen Heng knows, although the lords nearby will hold troops in captivity, the number is not large.
It is already considered to have three or four hundred people in the hands of each lord.
Just like Chen Heng's father Baron Kayson, his hands combined, there is only one guard with 200 people in total.
No matter how many, there will be nothing.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the lord's guards are all soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to ordinary people.
But the people who appeared in front of them were covered in leather armor and even had bows and crossbows in their hands, which seemed not ordinary thieves.
For this trip, Baron Kayson specially brought out half of his guards, with about a hundred people.
Even with the laborers responsible for transporting goods around, less than two hundred people were involved.
In addition, they had experienced a long journey and were exhausted, but the other party was lying here specifically, waiting for them here.
This gap is even more obvious.
Baron Kayson's face turned pale, but at this time, he had no choice.
Riding on the horse, he drew his sword and led his guards to start rushing forward.
After a moment, the two fought together.
Two different teams collided, and then the area instantly became a battlefield.
Fighting sounds intertwined in this place, and screams came from time to time.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Heng's face was calm and he looked to the side silently.
In front, Ormando was also fighting those people at this moment.
Of course, it was not that he was brave enough, but that he was forced to do so.
Before that, he was riding a horse outside the team, and the people rushed up. Even if he wanted to turn around and run, it was too late.
At this moment, he was on a horse and confronted several thieves who also rode on horseback, and could still deal with it for a while.
Although he seems a bit degenerate recently, Ormando is from the guard after all, and has some foundation. In addition, he has good equestrian skills, he will still be able to support him for a while.
But that's it.
As for the thieves in the distance, they were just ordinary in Chen Heng's opinion.
Perhaps for ordinary lords like Baron Kayson, these thieves are already considered elite, but for Chen Heng, these are just that, and they are not very amazing.
The guards were on the side of Baron Kayson, Chen Heng looked calm and raised his hand silently.
Beside him, his subordinates immediately understood and raised a small flag.
On the small flag, there was a mark belonging to the Chen Heng family.
Suddenly, around, the black-haired slave who was originally hiding behind the carriage seemed to have received some signal, and immediately rushed into the carriage next to it excitedly and took out his own equipment from the carriage.
Taking advantage of the guards' ability to rush forward, they quickly took out their weapons and rushed forward.
Because he was prepared for this situation in advance, Chen Heng asked everyone to wear leather armor long beforehand, but now he has saved some effort.
The same is true for Baron Kayson's guards.
The only two people present without armor were Baron Kayson himself and Ormando.
Baron Kayson is thin and even wearing light leather armor, he will feel uncomfortable, so he is not wearing it.
As for Ormando, it was purely disdainful.
He and Chen Heng have never been against each other, and they looked down on Chen Heng's predecessor, Kailin, and therefore they were not interested in his proposal.
According to his previous statement, he was about to arrive at Baron Myra's territory, and what should he do in heavy armor?
When he said this, Chen Heng just smiled and said nothing.
I don't know if he regrets it now.
Chen Heng was too lazy to think about this problem.
