Berserk: The Prophet

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Arrows shot out from the shadows, accompanied by the cawing of crows. The troops behind them clearly did not have time to receive the message to stop advancing. Arrows pierced flesh and throats through the gaps in the armor, and the deep red to black blood meant that the arrows were coated with deadly poison.

"kill!!"

The Juda soldiers hidden on both sides suddenly sprang out of the woods. Their numbers were unclear, but most of them were spearmen, who were effective against cavalry. Yuris could only quickly organize his troops to resist and break through. In this terrain, facing spearmen on horseback was practically suicide.

"Damn it, let's get out of here together!!"

Tell them to disperse and retreat; we'll meet up with His Majesty the King!

However, sitting here waiting to die is obviously not a good idea. There may be Juda's pursuers behind us, and who knows how many people are lying in ambush in this jungle. We have to get out of this hellhole as soon as possible, and it would be best to minimize casualties.

Before they could be surrounded, Yuris led his knights and guards to break out first. As for the rest, they were left to their own devices; it was obviously unrealistic for them to all flee in one direction.

Little did they know that such dispersed fighting force played right into the hands of the Qiu Daren, who had already laid enough traps around the area.

A masked figure in strange attire, perched on a tree branch, stared intently at the spot where Yuris and his companions had departed. With a sudden shift in form, the figure vanished from the spot.

.........

The group dared not delay along the way, but unfortunately, they were exhausted and their horses were weary. They had been marching at a rapid pace since morning, and by noon they were surrounded and forced to retreat into the jungle. Then they were attacked by Juda's men, and their morale plummeted. The horses had been carrying the knights for so long that no matter how the knights urged them on, they could not go any faster. Yuris had no choice but to lead the group to rest in the jungle for a while.

"Rest where you are."

It was already dusk, and if they couldn't leave this jungle before dark, something bad was bound to happen. After all, they had encountered traps set by Juda along the way, and several people had died. This had dampened the spirits of the noble lords of the White Dragon Knights. They hadn't expected Juda to be so ruthless this time!

It's like leaving them no way out at all.

A familiar scent... Kadi's deep gaze swept over the faint sounds coming from the jungle, even though the group's stealth techniques were already at their peak.

In the shadows of the lush canopy, their sharp gazes met. Kadi's lips curled into a smile; it was an old acquaintance. They had arrived.

"I'll go get some water." A white dragon knight got up and walked to Yuris's side, preparing to go to the nearby stream to replenish his water supply.

"whoosh"

An arrow pierced the knight's throat, just enough to block the poisoned arrow that was heading towards Yuris.

"whispering sound!"

The figure hidden in the shadows cursed under his breath, then replenished his ammunition. At the same time, the royal guard knights became alert, raising their shields to block most of the poisoned arrows that continued to be fired, and escorting Yuris, who was already wearing a helmet, onto his horse. Only a few unlucky ones had their armor pierced and their skin broken by arrows coated with deadly poison.

Soon, they will fall into muscle paralysis and never wake up again.

"They're catching up! Get on your horses!!"

Unable to fight the rats hiding in the shadows, Yuris took the lead and fled under the protection of his guards.

"Damn it!!" Kadi cursed under his breath.

Almost at the same moment the poisoned arrow pierced the knight's throat, a mutiny broke out among some of the White Dragon Knights' guards and knights. Instantly, a group of knights with red cloth fluttering on their left shoulders appeared. It turned out that Kadi had planted his own people during the protracted war and had silently assassinated some knights the night before, replacing them with his own men. No one could recognize their identities the moment they put on their helmets.

In the instant that swords pierced flesh between "comrades," more than a dozen of Yuris's personal guards died. Immediately afterwards, many of the original White Dragon Knights reacted and launched a counterattack. No matter what, they had to protect Lord Yuris's safety. Yuris, on the other hand, didn't dare to look back and rode away. Damn it, how did these assassins manage to sneak in?!

Meanwhile, Green put on the red cloth, took out the dagger left to him by Gambino, and stabbed the two white dragon knights in the groin. He looked for an opportunity to escape with Bazso. Green and Bazso quickly took advantage of the fact that Kadi and the others were busy fighting and chasing Yuri, bent down and pulled away two warhorses, and escaped under the cover of the jungle.

"Tap Tap"

"drive!!"

The two figures darted through the jungle, not having time to adjust their view to see which way to go faster. They only knew that they had to get away from the chaotic battlefield as soon as possible. After running for nearly 10 kilometers, Green finally reined in his horse and stopped. There should be a lot of traps in this area. Who knows where the Judas have set traps? It was good enough that they hadn't encountered any bad luck along the way, since some of the Judas' spies had been tricked to death.

"Wait a minute, let me see where I am."

"it is good."

Green dismounted and planned to mark a tree. After confirming that there were no traps around, Green took out his dagger and prepared to mark the tree.

............

After receiving the order, Aaron and the others rushed into the jungle, but they did not expect that it was not only the Serpent Knights who intercepted them, but also the traps in the jungle and the unknown arrows hiding in the shadows.

In the chaos, Suniva got separated from Aaron. Suniva's horse tripped over a stone and ran away, while Suniva fell to the ground. When they got separated, Aaron had already been shot in the shoulder with an arrow. The two white dragon knights were also exhausted and looked like they were about to die. Everyone was very nervous, but they kept moving through the jungle.

Although Aaron was also worried about his son, he could only tell Seniva to hide and wait for the White Dragon Knights to rescue him. Aaron never imagined that the arrow in his body would prevent him from sending a message, because... the assassin leader's target was them, father and son!!

"Where did that brat run off to?"

"Tsk, it's alright. A little kid like him can't run very far on his own. Let's search more carefully."

Two men in black, speaking the Juda language, were exchanging words when they switched to a completely unintelligible language with another group of people.

Seniva was terrified. He could only desperately cover his mouth and hide in the bushes to keep quiet. These people had come specifically to kill him!

It was quite some time before the group disappeared from sight, but even then, Seniva didn't dare move, quietly hiding there waiting for his companions. It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves brought Seniva back to his senses that a familiar figure walked towards him. He wore the insignia of the White Dragon Knights on his shoulder, but his short stature and build... was it Grin?!
