Three hundred and fortieth chapters magic forest
"What's going on? What's the time?" He finally realized something was wrong and shouted when a ray of warm sunlight sprayed through the shaded woods.
"Seya, what time is it now?" Although Diggle was not responsible for recording the time, he would not forget that the night had just arrived when he encountered the two travelers, and they asked him about the place where he could spend the night.
At this time, the sunshine shone in the sky was obviously noon. It was easy to lose time when marching in dense woods. Perhaps the direction was no problem for these local knights, but time was not enough. Therefore, there were partners who were specifically responsible for measuring time and were not responsible for alerting, and Seyah was obviously the case.
"Answer me, Seyah." Seyah did not answer, Diggel felt a little strange, so he asked again.
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the rest of the team, and many people turned their attention to the right side of the team, where Seyah was located.
The two failed questions made Diggle feel alert. He pushed away the crowd and saw Seyah sitting on the horse in a daze.
"Why don't you talk?" Diggle felt angry, but he didn't lose his guard. He drove him forward and poked him with a sword with a scabbard.
"Pu!" Seyah's body fell straight to the ground like a wooden stake. Suddenly, the horse that lost its owner felt uncomfortable and even paved the hooves.
"Enemy attack! Be careful to hide!" Diggle reacted very quickly, and immediately turned his horse's head and rushed to the front of the team. At the same time, he took off the shield hanging on the side that was not much bigger than his head and put it on his arm.
But even if Diggle reacted very quickly, it was impossible to guess that the enemy in the dark was actually using magic. Because he would find that there was no wound on Seyah's body.
There was a riot in the Knights' team. However, after leaving Herrenburg and heading for King's Landing, they also wiped out several small-scale bandits and went to the battlefield, so they naturally gained experience.
So although the incident happened suddenly, under Diggle's coordination, they quickly adjusted their formation. After a few breaths, they had become external formations. On the outside, the knights inside opened their bows and arrows, and Diggle formed a charge triangle with several very tall knights.
But don't look at Diggle's calmness on the surface, but he still feels a little nervous in his heart.
A bunch of armed knights passed by. Even if the equipment was slightly poor, they were still horse-dressed knights. Ordinary robbers would not dare to stop them. Otherwise, with the robbers formed by the poor, the knights would usually come to kill as many as they could.
The one who dares to attack them is naturally more large-scale Knight army than theirs. Once they have a numerical advantage, Diggle and these people are nothing. They can't get any benefits at all.
But after waiting for a while, Diggle's expected team did not appear, and the surroundings were quiet. Not to mention the smoke and dust were rolled up, there was no vibration on the ground.
"Sir, what's going on?" Sens, who was beside Diggel, lowered his voice in confusion. Diggel was not a nobleman and had no title, but was a knight under Herrenburg, so he could only be called a master.
Although this is a bit chaotic, the remote areas and war centers of Hejian have not yet recovered from the Battle of the Five Kings, and the nobles are unwilling to lend a hand to fund them. It is definitely not possible without a certain amount of armed forces.
Diggel did not answer immediately. There was naturally something extraordinary about his ability to command this team of knights. When he turned his head, he understood something, "Go and see the wound on Seyah's body." He said.
The enemy attack is certain, otherwise Seyah would not die, but it may be a sporadic enemy to launch sneak attacks. For example, there are many such people in Hejiandi. They were in a hurry just now, but they didn't pay attention to how Seyah died.
Soon, Sens hurried back and reported to Diggle in a lower voice than before, "Seya is dead, but there is no wound on his body, he is really dead."
Sens had participated in many wars and even survived the Battle of the Whispering Forest, but he had never seen such a strange phenomenon, so he specifically told Diggle only to avoid panic.
How did people die without wounds? Diggel indeed frowned. He couldn't starve to death, either, he didn't lose these brothers.
But at this moment, a dark green light suddenly appeared on Diggle's side. His after-light seemed to have captured this point, and he turned sideways in a critical moment.
But Sens beside him was obviously not so lucky. The green light hit his body and spread like clouds. Then Sens was shocked and fell softly to the ground, just like Seyah's way of death.
The good guys on the horse's back were usually very upright, so even if Seyah died just now, he didn't fall off the horse's back, Diggel poked him. And Sens turned around and said, naturally he had lost his sense of balance.
"What's going on!" Diggle was extremely shocked. This time he watched someone die in front of him with his own eyes, but he couldn't figure out where the attack came from.
It's not an arrow or a crossbow. What's going on with this confused light? Is it a flame?
A trace of fear suddenly flashed through Diggle's heart. How come this is very similar to the legendary magic? He has never been to Essus, nor has he ever come into contact with male witches. However, there are many magic legends circulating in Westeros. People in this era will only think about gods and magic at the first time when they encounter unintelligible phenomena.
"Hurry up at full speed! Quick! Quick!" If it was magic, Diggle didn't want to fight him. He didn't know where the enemy came from, nor did he find out where the enemy was.
Maybe there is only one person on the other side, but before killing him, how much dark green light will emerge? Who can guarantee that the magic that cannot be defended will not fall on him?
I'm afraid that the sunlight appears in the sky for no reason is also a magic trick. Diggle already felt fear in his heart. This forest is too weird.
Because of magic, Diggle noticed the strangeness of the forest, the delicious flowers and green trees, the slight fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, making the forest look as beautiful as a picture scroll.
But no matter how beautiful it is, Digger can guarantee that he has never found this forest near Herrenberg, and he grew up here since he was a child.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and made a gesture to the others, and then drove his horse to run. The knights around him saw Diggl suddenly ready to go, but did not dare to leave, and followed closely behind.
For a moment, the strong wind blew around Diggle, and there was only the chaotic sound of horse hooves from his subordinates. The war horses were panting, but Diggle didn't dare to let it slow down.
His afterglow seemed to see the magic appear again, so he quickly lowered his body. Fortunately, there were not too many such attacks, and he ran along the way only a few times. When the green light did not appear again in the end, Diggle finally felt that it was almost done.
"Stop." He slowed down his horse's stance and stopped slowly, but when he stopped, he immediately realized something was wrong.
There were countless sounds of horse hooves in his ear just now, which meant that his subordinates were following him all the time, but with his horse's pulling movements, all the sounds of horse hooves almost stopped abruptly.
Diggel doesn't think his subordinates have such good skills, so that means... Sure enough, Diggel turned around and found that there was no one behind him.
Closed his eyes, Diggel activated his mount again, but there was only one horse, but there was a sound that only dozens of horses appeared. Diggel felt distressed, knowing that this might be a trick of witchcraft.
"The ominous smell of death." Diggle thought of what the strange traveler said, which was why he encountered such a strange thing today.
Although Diggle was frightened, he still gritted his teeth and turned his head. If no one was left, the outcome of his own return would not be much better.
With fear of magic, Diggle was thinking all the way, "Alan! Porter! Rulas!" While shouting his subordinate's name, he looked at the environment. At this time, Diggle had already put his life and death aside.
I don't know how long I walked, Diggel felt that he seemed to have returned to the position where Seyah died, but he still couldn't find any of his subordinates, and he didn't even see a single body.
Just when he was strange, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be an extremely huge tree in front of him, so he immediately stepped forward and found a direction without backlight. Diggle narrowed his eyes and quickly saw the thing clearly, and then his eyes widened.
The scene in front of him was shocked that Diggle didn't even notice that the round shield on his arm had slipped down. It was an extremely tall tree, as thick as three people hugged it, but this tree was not made of wood, but was all made of human flesh and blood.
The thick tree trunks are filled with broken bodies of humans. They have been squeezed and deformed and rattled, and even their internal organs are hanging out of the air, but they still have not collapsed and overflowed, and they even maintain the columnar shape of the trunk.
The branches are the remains of the human body, and strings of blood are dripping down along the fingertips and soles of feet. The branches are full of budding fruits, and their hair is lingering on their fingers. They are the familiar heads under Diggle.
"The gods are above! The gods are above!" Diggel's lips trembled and kept muttering. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
