Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"What's wrong?" Lind asked curiously.

"Someone is coming." Katie said with narrowed eyes.

When Katie was lying on the ground, she could feel if anyone was approaching her. This was the power given to her by the Mother Earth, Katie said.

It's a very convenient ability that can detect approaching dangers in advance, but it requires you to be lying on the ground for it to work, so you will encounter all the enemy attacks that you were supposed to encounter before.

The people came from the direction of the dirt road, which was built step by step by human immigrants in the past. The three of them immediately moved the carriage to the woods nearby to prevent the things from being damaged.

They had no intention of fighting or hiding in the woods, because the enemies they encountered were all beastmen with a keen sense of smell, and it was almost impossible to escape by hiding in the woods.

After everything was ready, the three of them hid in the bushes, waiting for the enemy to arrive. A burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from afar.

Centaurs? Centaurs? Lind thought, he had never encountered a beastman related to horses.

Soon, the source of the horse hoof sounds appeared in front of the three people. It was not the beastmen, but two knights galloping on their horses.

Two knights were riding on fine horses, wearing light armor, and were galloping at a very fast speed. Both knights were covered in blood, and it was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle.

Judging from the direction, the two knights came from Dundalk. What happened there?

A sense of foreboding.

Behind the two knights, there was a group of figures chasing closely. Upon closer inspection, they all had human upper bodies, horse lower bodies, and horse heads.

To determine whether he is a Chaos Beastman, one needs to look at his head to see if it looks like a human. This is Linde’s way of judging.

The horses of the two knights were panting and their steps were chaotic. It was obvious that they had been running for a long time. The horse of the knight running in front finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground exhausted.

The knight on the horse also fell to the ground, along with a short figure wearing a white dress, a red vest, and light brown hair.

Chapter 16: Boy Saves Girl

Horses are very good means of transportation. Before the advent of industrial civilization, the status of cavalry was equivalent to that of tanks.

Although they can run very fast, horses do not have excellent endurance. People cannot outrun horses in short distances, and horses cannot outrun people in long distances. If a horse runs too fast and too far in a short period of time, it can kill itself.

The knight in front of us is the best example.

It was unknown how long they had been running, but it was clear that it had definitely been quite a while. The situation was critical, with the Centaurs chasing them from behind, but one of the knights' horses had already reached its limit.

The horse in front couldn't hold on and fell to the ground first, and the two people on the horses also fell to the ground together. During the fall, the knight in armor quickly protected the other figure in his arms and rolled far away on the ground.

The huge impact force caused the two men to roll several meters away before they stopped. The knight weakly loosened his hands and let go of the figure in his arms.

She was a girl wearing a white dress and a red vest. Her light brown hair was tied into soft and fluffy buns beside her ears and a cute pink bow was tied behind her head. Her delicate facial features were pretty and lively, and her emerald green pupils seemed to be able to communicate with everything.

"Ram! Are you okay, Ram?" The cute girl who looked about twelve years old exclaimed to the knight under her, while pressing her hands on the knight's chest, emitting a holy light.

"Miss..." Under the effect of magic, the knight named Ram recovered, stood up suddenly, and blocked the girl behind him.

"Are you okay?" another knight arrived and shouted to the two.

"We're fine!" Ram shouted. "Winter! Hurry up and take Miss Alisa away! I'll cover the rear!"

"What!?" the girl named Alisa exclaimed. "No! Ram, don't you have a lot of plans? I've already lost my mother! I've lost too many companions! Don't lose more people!"

"My lady." Ram smiled bitterly. "This is my final plan."

"Winter!" Without waiting for Alisa to reply, Ram suddenly picked up Alisa and threw her into Winter's arms. "Protect the young lady and keep running! I'll stop the pursuers!"

"I wish you good luck in martial arts." Winter knew that Ram was courting death, but he had no choice at this time. A horse could only carry two people, and someone really needed to stop the centaurs who were chasing him.

"Ram!" Elisa cried, and Winter waved the whip and continued to move forward.

"Come on, you freaks who urinate and defecate everywhere, neither human nor beast." Ram drew his sword and headed towards the approaching centaurs. "I will do this even if I die..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a horse falling behind him.

"What's going on!?" Ram turned his head and saw that Winter's horse fell to the ground and died before it ran a few steps.

After a long-distance run, a horse's heart can easily stop beating due to excessive fluctuations. A similar situation also occurs in human marathons.

Experienced knights knew how to avoid this, but Winter was an inexperienced knight.

"Why did you kill the horse again!" Ram cursed.

"Why don't you say it's your bad luck that ruined me!" Winter retorted.

As knights, Winter and Ram both have very peculiar characteristics. Winter, as a knight, seems to have a conflict with horses and often gets into accidents when riding. Ram is particularly unlucky and often unexpected situations occur when he is doing things well.

For this reason, Winter avoided riding a horse as much as possible and fought on foot whenever possible. Ram, on the other hand, prepared a large number of contingency plans and backup plans before each operation, in order to avoid being unable to remedy any unexpected situations.

At this moment, the debuffs on both of them took effect at the same time.

"Miss Alisa." At this point, the two knights had no choice. "We will hold back these centaurs for a while. Miss, run as far south as you can. You will be safe when you reach the Alek Colony."

"You won't have our protection along the way, Miss, you must be careful."

"No! I won't leave!" Alisa walked to the two knights with a determined look in her eyes. "I want to fight alongside you!"

"It's an honor." Winter laughed. "In that case, we can't die here!"

"Just ten Centaurs! Kill them all!" Ram also roared to cheer himself up.

Two knights and a young lady who knows healing magic are responsible for dealing with ten charging centaurs.

Is there a chance?

Of course not, but what if you add two minotaurs and a knight squire?

Just as the Centaur was about to charge, suddenly a ball was thrown out from the woods nearby. There was a fuse on the ball. The fuse was lit and was burning rapidly.

The ball rolled right into the center of the Centaur herd. With a loud bang, the charging Centaurs were immediately blown to pieces.

"Waaaaagh~!" Then, a war cry that sounded very childish came from the bushes nearby.

The sudden change made the three of them stunned. There is a green-skinned Ork?

Under the two knights' vigilant eyes, two figures, one big and one small, rushed out from the woods and rushed towards the Centaur team whose formation was in chaos.

The one rushing in the front was a female minotaur, wielding a huge axe, and she chopped down two centaurs to the ground in one fell swoop.

Following closely behind was a human boy, wielding a dagger in his hand, and the shout came from the boy's mouth.

The two knights blinked in shock. Is this some new species of green-skinned Orc? It looks so humanoid.

Linde stabbed a centaur who had been blown to the ground and had not yet gotten up. He stabbed the centaur about 30 centimeters below the belly with his sword. The centaur immediately howled in pain, and then he stabbed the centaur in the neck. It had become Linde's conditioned reflex to hit the balls first in a fight.

"Hey! What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come and help!" After killing a centaur, Lind immediately yelled at the two knights who were watching the show.

"Oh." The two knights finally reacted and drew their swords to join the battlefield.

The bombs and the sneak attack threw the already few Centaurs into chaos, and they were quickly wiped out like mowing the grass. In the end, only one Centaur took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Huh~ Is this the end?" Lind looked at the fleeing Centaur and put the sword back.

"Thank you for saving me." The two knights looked at each other, and Winter stepped forward and said, "Excuse me..."

"Thank you for your help." Before the knight could finish, Alisa took a step forward, walked in front of Lind, and gracefully lifted her skirt. "I am Alisa Gaines, thank you very much for your help, sir."

Chapter 17 Good News and Bad News

Originally, Lind didn't want to get involved in other people's fights. After all, they had walked a long way and fought many times, which consumed a lot of physical strength. As long as the opponent just ran away, Lind didn't plan to get involved.

Katie and Kitama basically listen to Lind now, probably because Lind's performance along the way is not like that of a twelve-year-old boy at all.

His outstanding combat capability, excellent trauma treatment ability, and some other knowledge made the two tauren from the tribe realize how special Linde was, and they knew it would be right to listen to Linde.

When two knights and the Centaurs chasing them appeared, Lind didn't want to get involved and just let them run away. But the two knights fell off their horses in front of Lind, and they were carrying a young girl with them, which made Lind change his mind.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Linde was attracted by the girl, but the special ability displayed by the girl.

Magic, Lind saw with his own eyes that the girl used the power of magic to heal the fallen knight.

After the battle, Kitama from the forest also came over and stood with Katie. The two tall, hot and coolly dressed female minotaurs standing in front of a beautiful human boy gave people a strange sense of shock.

Moreover, it can be seen from their positions and expressions that these two female minotaurs obey this beautiful human boy, which makes the picture even more impactful.

The hero appears, [スカイ] お sister ちゃんととろける気士ち

"Thank you for your help." The rescued girl walked up to Lind and gracefully lifted her skirt. "I'm Alyssa Gaines, thank you very much for your help."

"These two are knights loyal to my father." Then, Elisa pointed to the two knights beside her.

"Ram Hermann." The knight with a slightly round face and shrewd eyes nodded.

"Winter Dennis." He looked inexplicably funny, like a knight from an animation who introduced himself.

"Lind Lane." Lind nodded and gave his name.

"Katie." "Kitama." The Minotaur sisters also gave their names.

In addition to introducing themselves by name, both parties looked at each other at the same time.

In Lind's eyes, the person opposite was a standard combination of a noble lady and a knight. Elisa was extremely beautiful, as if she had walked out of a fairy tale book. She perfectly matched the imagination of a noble lady, and was beautiful and charming. Even though she had just fallen off her horse, and had fallen twice, she still looked elegant and graceful.

It would be better if the two knights standing next to him were more handsome, especially the one called Winter, who always makes me want to laugh.

Although Lind also admired the cute girl Alyssa, he was more curious. Magic, how can there be no magic when traveling to a western fantasy world? These past few days, all he did was hack and slash.

While Linde was looking at her, Elisa was also observing Linde and the two minotaurs behind him. In Elisa's eyes, Linde was handsome, with a ruddy and healthy complexion, without the thick powder on his face like other nobles. Although he was looking at her, his eyes were not malicious, but more curious.

Although she was only twelve years old, as the daughter of a noble, Elisa had already learned to read people's expressions and could quickly judge the meaning of other people's eyes, whether it was appreciation, admiration, indifference, or whether she should be castrated.

Lind's eyes were the kind that Alisa didn't dislike, they were full of pure curiosity, and the girl also had a favorable impression of Lind's appearance.

To be honest, appearance can play an extraordinary role in many cases. For the same ID photo, some people can look like fashion models, while others can look like missing person notices.

While the boy and girl were sizing each other up, the four adults behind them were not idle either. Elisa's two knights kept their hands on their swords, not daring to let down their guard, in case the other party turned around and robbed them. The two knights could see that the cow was okay, but Katie's strength was above theirs.

"Ryan?" After hearing Lind's last name, Alyssa's eyes lit up. "Is it the Ryan family of the Holy Empire's Helder Principality!?"

"I guess so." Linde did not comment. Because the other party included his surname when registering, Linde subconsciously also included his father's surname.

"Please wait a moment." Ram frowned. "As far as I know, there is no member of the Ryan family as old as you."

As an extremely cautious planner, Ram knew the situation of most of the great lord families in the Holy Empire.

After hesitating for a moment, Lind took out a shield-shaped badge from his pocket. The shield with alternating black and white vertical stripes was also the emblem of the Ryan family.

The nobles of the Holy Empire and even the entire human civilization are accustomed to drawing a shield emblem for their family. At the same time, only nobles are qualified to have surnames.

"This is my family emblem." Linde explained. "My father is the late Duke of Held, Kongnan, and I am a bastard."

Lind's words startled the three people on the opposite side. The emblem was indeed correct, it was the emblem of the Ryan family, but according to the customs of the Holy Empire, illegitimate children could not use their father's surname, even if they were recognized illegitimate children.

Alisa and Ram looked at each other calmly, and Ram nodded slightly, indicating that Kong Nan did have an illegitimate child. Alisa immediately said excitedly: "It turns out that he is the son of Kong Nan who will never fall from power! No wonder he is so powerful!"

Indeed, when he was killing the Centaur just now, Lind did show that he was much stronger than his peers.

"Your last name is Gaines. Are you a member of the Earl of Dundalk?" Elisa's enthusiasm made Lind blush a little, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Yes." Alyssa smiled. "My father is Juster Gaines, Earl of Dundalk."

The immigrants to Ivozhen Island basically came from the Holy Empire, and the official lord of the immigrants to Ivozhen Island appointed by the Holy Empire was the Gaines family.

"We are going to Dundalk." Lind told the other party his destination. "Are you coming from there?"

"Yes." Alyssa's expression darkened. "But..."

"But what?" Linde had a bad feeling.

"Just now, Dundalk City was also lost." Winter said on behalf of Alyssa. "The beastman army broke through the defense of the city wall. Ram and I followed the order of the Countess to protect the young lady and break through to Vicro in the south."

"Is that so?" Lind opened his eyes wide. "Then I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Eh?" Alisa was stunned. "Good, good news?"

"You don't have to go to Velcro."

"So...what about the bad news?"

"Velcro has also fallen."
