The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 132 Collision
"Lord Lavian, I think you're overthinking it!" The Bauhinia Knight following Lavian said helplessly. The two of them had been running for almost a day, and they hadn't seen any chariot warriors or even wild beasts.

“Shut up! Don’t you think this is strange? A patrol of soldiers went missing and no one came out to search for them! Are you out of your mind or are they? Look around! I have a bad feeling about this!” Ravian sighed helplessly.

"This..." The accompanying knight was speechless and could only silently follow Ravian forward.

"Oh no! The Grand Duchess and the others are in danger!" Lavian suddenly cried out as he looked at the birds flying in the sky.

"Go! Let's go back! The main force can't go any further east! The enemy might have air knights!" Ravian painfully voiced his suspicions. It was one thing that no one came looking for the missing patrol soldiers, suggesting that the charioteers were slow to react. But the soldiers they had encountered earlier clearly told them that this was their patrol route, and Ravian hadn't encountered any enemy troops along the way... This could only mean that someone had informed the patrol soldiers ahead of them, with the aim of luring this army deeper into the east and into a trap.

"Damn it!" The knights traveling with him were not idiots either. Having received a good education, they possessed the most basic war skills. As soon as Lavian pointed it out, he understood the seriousness of the situation.

"Giddy up!" The two sturdy rune warhorses sped back along the same route at the sound of their whips.

"Whoosh!" A shrill whistle came from the sky, and a huge figure emerged from the clouds on the horizon.

"Damn! (An elegant herb, bright green in color and fragrant in aroma!)" Lavian looked up and immediately uttered a refined sound.

"Holy crap! A two-headed dragon!" The face of the accompanying Bauhinia Knight instantly turned ashen.

"Shoot!" A cold glint flashed in Ravian's eyes, and with a light stretch of his longsword, he suddenly drew the bow to its full extent.

"Whoosh!" A streak of light shot out as the bowstring vibrated.

"Clang!" A crisp metallic clang rang out across the sky as the air knight riding the two-headed dragon deflected an arrow fired by Lavian with a single thrust of his sturdy lance.

"There's no way out! Let's run!" Ravian said to the knight beside him with a twitch at the corner of his mouth. If he, a knight commander, couldn't do anything about that thing flying in the sky, then the knight beside him was even less capable.

"Damn it! Two-headed dragon knight! What bad luck!" The accompanying knight, Hollin, spat out, finding the flying thing in the sky truly disgusting.

"Dragon? It doesn't even deserve the title! It's just a two-headed lizard with mixed bloodlines! If it had a heavy crossbow, it wouldn't be so arrogant!" Ravian said helplessly. Although he couldn't do anything to this air knight, the air knight couldn't do anything to him either. The brief exchange had already allowed Ravian to figure out the other party's strength. This air knight was either a third-tier or second-tier, and with a mixed-blooded dragon, it could barely fight him to a draw.

"Ignore him! Our most important task now is to get back to the Grand Duke and protect her as she leaves!" Seeing the knights beside him constantly turning back to shoot arrows in retaliation, Ravian spoke up to stop them. They were knights! Not professional archers or rangers! They also didn't have specialized skills in mounted archery. Shooting at that air knight now would not only waste their energy but also their arrows.

"Disgusting!" Holin, the Bauhinia Knight traveling with him, lowered his head in exasperation, and his horse instantly sped up a few paces.

It's important to know that although the two-headed dragon is a hybrid sub-dragon, it still possesses the distinctive breath attack characteristic of dragons! Even as a knight commander, Ravian wouldn't want to get his hands on its highly corrosive acid.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Be careful!" Ravian suddenly shouted.

"Damn it!" Hollin lowered his head, and a cold glint flew past his helmet.

"Lord Lavian! It's a chariot!" Hollin's eyes narrowed; the cold glint he had just seen was clearly from an arrow shot by an archer on a chariot.

"Kill! For the glory of knights! For the Duchy of Nyx!" Lavian raised his Star Steel lance, and scorching fire-type battle aura instantly swept over his entire body. Streams of battle aura twisted and intertwined, extending several meters along the straight lance!

"I'll risk it all!" Hollin gritted his teeth, crouching down like Ravian and thrusting out his steel lance. Azure battle aura swirled around his body, the slender azure spear tip stinging the eyes. "Ugh!" Hollin groaned as a sharp steel arrow pierced through his left arm's battle aura armor, then embedded itself in his plate armor, finally getting stuck in his shoulder blade.

"God!" Ravian caught a glimpse of Holin being struck by an arrow, a cloud of blood blooming on his shoulder.

"Die!" Hollin used his intact right hand to grip the lance tightly and fiercely rammed into the side of the speeding chariot.

With a dull thud and the crisp sound of breaking planks, the chariot in front of Holin had vanished, leaving only the two warhorses pulling it at full speed. Holin had just accomplished the feat of taking on three men single-handedly with his lance! The three Dongyi men driving the chariot, along with their chariot, were smashed to pieces by the enraged Cross Bauhinia Knight.

"Swoosh~" Compared to Hollin's ferocious performance, Lavian appeared much more elegant. With a flick of his scorching spear, a charred corpse tumbled off the chariot.

"Ah!" Lavian swung his lance at an oncoming chariot, and with a shrill scream, only three stiff lower bodies remained in the cargo bed of the speeding chariot.

"Aaaaah! Die, all of you!" With his left arm completely unable to lift, Hollin frantically unleashed his wind-attribute battle aura, sending out wind blades along his lance to tear apart unlucky soldiers, warhorses, and chariots...

"Holin! Go!" Lavian shouted after deflecting an arrow falling from the sky with his spear. Don't forget, there is still a Sky Knight watching them intently from the sky.

"Ugh~" Hollin let out a painful growl before reluctantly hanging his lance on his saddle, then lay on his horse and retreated from the battlefield.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh!" After casually drawing his longsword and slicing down an Eastern Yi chariot soldier wielding a halberd, Lavian pulled on the reins and quickly fled the scene, since cavalry was more mobile than chariots.

"My lord..." Hollin said weakly, lying on the horse's back. Blood loss and the massive depletion of his battle energy had brought him to the brink of exhaustion.

"Can it still hold on?" Ravian asked, his face grim. After all, this was a knight from his own knightly order, and Ravian couldn't bear to watch him sacrifice himself.

"My lord, don't worry about me... Run away quickly, take His Highness the Grand Duke and go down..." Hollin murmured with his eyelids lowered.

"Damn it! Stop!" Ravian rode up to Holin's warhorse and grabbed it with his hand. Seeing that the enemy had not yet caught up, Ravian immediately stopped his horse.

"Bear with it! You need to bandage it! Otherwise you'll bleed to death!" Ravian looked at Holin's wound, his face grim. The arrow might have hit his bone! But there was no time to worry about that now, saving his life was the priority!
"Ah!" With a shrill scream from Holin, Ravian had successfully broken the arrow shaft and quickly removed Holin's plate armor from his upper body. Ravian's expression changed drastically.

"How vicious!" Looking at Hollin's gaping wound, Lavian immediately understood that these Dongyi people had used triangular armor-piercing heavy arrows!
With a "whoosh!" Ravian casually drew the dagger from his waist and plunged it into Hollin's shoulder wound with lightning speed. With a twist of his wrist, accompanied by gushing blood, a triangular heavy arrow with half a shaft slid out.

"Ugh~" Hollin's eyes rolled back in pain, and he actually fainted.

"You can't sleep yet! We're not safe yet!" Ravian quickly sprinkled medicine powder on Holin's wounds, bandaged them up in no time, fastened his plate armor, lifted him up and tossed him onto his horse, then turned on the water bottle and poured cold water on Holin's face. At the same time, he mounted his horse and sped away from the scene.

"Cough cough! My lord, this is murder!" Hollin grimaced as he was choked awake by the water. His left arm was probably temporarily useless without the priest's treatment. He looked back at the sky with a melancholy expression. The enemy's air knights had caught up and were hanging leisurely behind them.
