In the early morning, the rays of sunlight gradually spread to the earth.

On the edge of a barren forest, the sound of horses' hooves rang out everywhere.

Ahead was a plain, and on the plain, there were obvious traces scattered in it, and it seemed impossible to hide it at all.

"Got to the place?"

A middle-aged man looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself with some frowns.

He was dressed in dark white armor and rode a black horse, looking mighty and tall, like a powerful knight.

"It should be right up ahead. Beside him, a voice rang out, responding to it.

It was a man in the prime of life, who looked to be only in his thirties, and at this time, he was also wearing armor, and slowly rode up behind him.

Behind them, Adil followed unhurriedly, also observing the trail ahead.

"Adiel. ”

The middle-aged man before turned around and looked at Adiel: "You take someone to the front first, remember to be careful." ”

"Yes, Lord Gru. ”

Adil glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, and after replying, he slowly walked forward with the knight behind him.

The plain ahead seemed quiet, and although there were a lot of traces, the people who had been entrenched here before were long gone, and only an empty place remained.

Adil took the lead, casually scanning around, examining the traces around him, hoping to find some useful information.

"A large number of unknown odor molecules were examined, and the comparison results were adult males. ”

As I walked to this place, the voice of the machine sounded again in my head.

Listening to the hint of the chip in his mind, Adil was suddenly stunned.

He looked in the far west direction and was silent for a long time.

That's the direction indicated by the chip.

During the inspection, the group of breath molecules spread all the way to the west, all the way to the forest in the distance.

"Wrong direction..."

Looking in that direction, this thought rose in Adier's heart, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Before setting out, he had a detailed understanding of the terrain in the area.

According to his original calculations, if the bandits wanted to escape from Count Boria's territory and escape pursuit, the best option would be to flee north.

It was the quickest and safest way to leave the realm, whether it was to escape back to the borders or to raid the realms of other nobles.

"Lord Adiel, the results of the examination are in!" came a call in his ears.

Adil looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with someone.

This is his deputy, named Aishra, who is also a powerful warrior.

"Judging from the traces at the scene, the group of robbers should have gone north. ”

With a serious expression on her face, Asila looked at Adil and said seriously.

His words ushered in Adiel's deep gaze.

Adil looked at his deputy, his deep and calm gaze was firmly fixed on the middle-aged man, almost looking at the other party hairy.

"You go back and report to Lord Gru first, and I'll take someone here to check on you for a while. ”

His face was calm, and he looked at his deputy and said quietly.

"This..." Asila was stunned for a moment, her face showing embarrassment, but her eyes looked to the side.

Following his gaze, Adil looked in the same direction he had come from in the distance.

At this point, there was no one there, and it seemed that they had returned to camp.

Looking at this scene, Adil looked at the deputy in front of him, his eyes calm: "Take the others and follow me to other places to see." ”

"What?" Asila was stunned, not knowing what Adil meant.

"I just saw a figure walking to the west, and maybe some of the robbers were left behind and hid over there. ”

Adil said casually, his eyes fixed on Asila's face.

As he revealed that he was about to look west, Adil clearly saw that Asila's originally calm face suddenly changed color.

He stood where he was, and reluctantly smiled at Adiel: "My lord, we have checked the surroundings very carefully, and that group of robbers has indeed fled to the north, there can be no mistake..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at Adil's always calm eyes, and couldn't help but change his words with a wry smile: "Okay, if you insist, my lord." ”

Adil nodded, raised his right hand, and rode forward slowly, looking really ready to go to the west to investigate.

Watching Adiel's movements, the moment he turned around, Asila secretly made a gesture, and then hurriedly rode his horse to follow.

As they slowly walked forward, the warriors around them mounted their horses and quickly chased after Adil.

Soon, the spacious plain was quickly traversed by them.

They crossed a small river, came to a forest, and dismounted on foot.

At this point, a large number of pedestrian traces reappeared, almost undisguisedly here.

Looking at this scene, Adil subconsciously frowned, and it seemed that his attention was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him, and he slowly walked over.

Around, the rest of the warriors walked forward, silently surrounding Adil behind him while he didn't know anything.

Click!!

The sound of the long sword out of the body suddenly sounded, and a bit of sword light flashed in the air, faintly carrying the fluctuation of life energy.

While!!

A black long sword suddenly came out of its body and slammed into the long sword behind it.

"Who are you who you can use the knight's secret technique?"

In an instant, Adil suddenly turned around, and the long sword in his hand had been drawn out at some point, and he looked behind him coldly and said.

In front of him, a shadow quickly fell backwards, as if it couldn't withstand the force of the previous confrontation, and couldn't help but take several steps backwards.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Asila's heart shook, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes as he looked at Adiel.

"Who am I? Of course I'm your subordinate, Lord Adir. ”

It didn't take long for a sneer to appear on his face as he listened to Adiel's words.

"I don't remember having a knightly lieutenant. ”

Adil had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't seem to have a trace of waves, and at this time, he looked at the person opposite, without a trace of expression on his face: "Say, who sent you." ”

On the other side, Asila didn't answer the question, just was silent for a while, and then laughed back: "It seems that all of us underestimate you." ”

"You've been promoted to knight for a long time, but you want to pretend that you've just been promoted, for what?"

He looked at Adil in front of him, his face showed a chill, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, Adiel's strength was beyond his expectations, far beyond the range of a knight who had just been promoted.

This had to make him suspicious, thinking that Adil had actually become a knight a long time ago, but he had only been hiding it until recently.
