If the sword could speak, it would have complained loudly about the treatment it was being treated at the moment, and even threatened it with a strike. In fact, this thought was also in Lydia's mind, and she was almost driven mad by the Red Guard's swordsmanship.

Like the curved sword of the Red Guard, Temunar's swordsmanship is a series of arcs constructed by the combined footwork and blades of the body, each movement is delicate and capable, just enough to restrain Lydia's traditional Nordic swordsmanship, coupled with his far more experience and skills than Lydia, Lydia only lasted for a short time and was a little scrambled.

Each of Temunar's swords was able to hit the hard-to-reach parts of her longsword, and Lydia's slash was like a slippery fish. It made her feel so uncomfortable.

There's no way around it, and who made her choose the wrong way to fight.

Swordsmanship, endurance, experience, these three important indicators are lagging behind in all directions. Even if the gap is not very large, it is enough to lay the foundation for Lydia's defeat. She is not like Alice, even if she is just a set of swordsmanship of the court of Sirodiel, she can forcibly suppress her opponent with her extraordinary speed and strength. And she took the shield and sword again, which only made her tactics more conservative unconsciously. This tactic is terrible for an enemy who is not impatient.

If it weren't for the other party's intention to release the water because she didn't want to cause too much conflict, she would have lost in an extremely wolf way.

Even so, she was now out of breath, her steps were vain, and it was only a matter of time before her distance was completely exhausted.

………………

Alice let go of her hand from the Redguard woman, and she felt the heart of the body in front of her rejuvenated. Blood was rushing through her limbs, and the muscles that had been in a state of tension were relaxed.

After a while, she would probably wake up naturally. Well, you can ignore her for now.

Let's take a look at Lydia's work.

She didn't worry much about Lydia, and the Red Guards on the other side didn't even have the slightest hostility, so they shouldn't cause much trouble. Even if something unexpected happens, she is sure to extinguish the source of the conflict before anything she doesn't want to see happens.

Even without turning on the dragon form, Alice's perception after absorbing the dragon soul is enough to cover a large area of the surrounding hills, and as long as she concentrates, even the earthworm wriggling in the ground will be accurately captured by her. In this way, even if she can't accurately control her own strength, she can easily destroy any target within a radius of a hundred feet in an instant.

[Let's let Ladia suffer a little, I was bullied by her a few days ago. 】

Alice thought so, but her gaze involuntarily collided slightly with the leader of the Redguards opposite, who immediately gave her a friendly smile in response.

【Hmm......】

"Letdia, come back. Alice twitched the corners of her mouth and opened her mouth to speak.

As soon as these words came out of Alice's mouth, the Red Guard warrior, who was fighting with Lydia, immediately flicked Lydia's sword away, jumped backwards, put it into its sheath, and raised his hand to signal that the battle was over.

"My lord, I can ......," Lydia said sharply, turning her head sharply.

"Come back!"

Lydia glanced hatefully at Temunar across the side - the Redguard stood behind his leader like a stake, and she immediately understood her mistake.

Lydia hung her head back to Alice. Whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Lived up to your expectations. ”

Failing to complete the tasks assigned by the Lord, and even questioning the Lord's in front of outsiders, is undoubtedly a great disqualification as a noble bodyguard, and it is not an exaggeration to bear such a charge in Tamriel, even if he is directly executed.

Lydia looked at Alice uneasily, her heart was full of remorse and self-blame, she didn't know what kind of disgust her behavior would cause Alice, she could only secretly hope in her heart that her little master's temper was not too great, so that she was punished too harshly. But then she remembered the snowy city that had been demolished for a small time, and she couldn't help but feel more and more worried.

Alice, however, was in no mood to pay attention to the guard's obsessive thoughts, and she just waved her hand and motioned for Lydia to stay behind her.

"I'll take care of the rest. ”

So Lydia walked up behind Alice without saying a word, and looked down at the tips of her boots. The girl's mind was tangled in a mess. Pessimistic feelings permeated her mind.

Alice took two steps forward and said loudly to the Red Guard opposite, "I'm Baron Alice of Xueman, who are you and why did you take this woman." ”

[The instrument of revocation of the title should not be sent so quickly...... bar. 】

The guy who looked like the leader bowed slightly, and then replied, "We are the court pursuit team from the Hammer Falling Province, I am Kematu, serving as the patrol officer of this team, and several of my deputies are next to me. Our purpose is to hunt down the woman over there called Satya. He gestured to the Redguard woman lying on the ground.

"What crime did she commit that deserves so much effort to hunt her down in the sky? ”

Kematu showed a hesitant expression, but after a moment of hesitation, he answered Alice's question: "It's a shameful thing, Satya is the daughter of a petty nobleman who fell the hammer, but she betrayed her city and sent thousands of civilians to the butcher's knife of the High Elves. We must arrest her and put her on trial. ”

Kematu added: "She's still a cunning guy who is best at taking advantage of other people's pity. Many people have already lost their lives as a result. You'd better just leave her to us. ”

"Yes...... Alice nodded slightly, feeling like water sliding across Satya's skin.

[Judging from the knuckles of her hands and feet, she is indeed not a person who works often, so it is reasonable to say that she is a noble. Hmm? Her heart rate is a little abnormal, and she woke up?]

Alice exhaled softly and said, "I believe what you say. ”

Before Kematu could smile with satisfaction, she immediately added, "But you have to prove that you are indeed the patrol officer of the Hammer Province." ”

Kemato's expression froze.

"This ...... I got lost on the way to hunt her down. ”

At this moment, Satya, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up and shouted loudly to Alice and the others.

"Don't listen to them, they're liars!" she knelt forward, about to pull Alice's cloak.

"Huh?" Alice tilted her head slightly, and Lydia, who was standing behind her, immediately drew her sword from its sheath, keeping Satya out.

"Say, what are you doing!" Lydia whispered.

Satya immediately took out a gold and diamond ring engraved with heraldic from her bosom and held it high for Alice to see. "I am the daughter of Viscount Sal, this is the proof of my family! They are the lackeys of Suolao, who want to kidnap me and hold me hostage! I beg you to protect me, and you will be richly rewarded!"

Her cheeks were red, and her pretty eyes were filled with tears, "Please, don't give me to them, the high elves will use me to kill many innocent civilians." ”

With a hesitant look in her eyes, Lydia looked at Alice and said hesitantly, "Lord Alice...... You see?"

Alice's eyebrows furrowed, and before she could reply, Kematu's voice came from afar.

"Don't be fooled by her pretty face!" his voice was full of sincerity.

But Satya immediately fought back, "You are the liars, you snatched me out of the snowman, and not long ago killed the guards my father sent to rescue me!" She rubbed her eyes and let out a mournful voice: "Poor Magnum, he is only twenty years old. You killed me like that!"

Alice set her eyes on Kematu, and sure enough, a closer look revealed that the crimson robes on their bodies were stained with an incongruous crimson color at the end—Alice immediately judged that it was the color of human blood.

"That's just a bunch of robbers you've bewitched!"

"What robber would be bewitched by a prisoner held by the inspector!!" Satya held out her hand—this time Lydia didn't stop her, grabbing the end of Alice's cloak. She looked at Alice with a pleading gaze.

"Please believe me, I can swear by my parents and pledge the family signet ring!

She stared straight at Alice, and Kematu and his party not far away also looked at her quietly. Wait for her to decide.

"Lydia. Alice whispered.

"Yes?" said Lydia, looking at Alice quizzically.

"You decide. ”

"???

Alice's gaze swept over Satya, Kematu, the Redguards, and finally back to Lydia.

In this brief look at each other, she saw hesitation, she saw snickering, she saw perseverance, she saw mockery, but she finally saw herself in Lydia's eyes.

"I don't care which side is right or which side is wrong. Whether it's helping an army officer catch a traitor who betrayed the city, or helping a troubled aristocratic maiden expel a villain who wants to kidnap her. It doesn't make a difference at all to me. It's just one side and the other. ”

"So, I leave the choice to you. Lydia, you are my sword and shield, and you should be my most trustworthy person. Whichever side do you think we should help, then we will be on whichever side. Alice said lightly.

No one noticed, her eyes were slightly yellow.

"My choice ......" Lydia clenched her fists, her mind full of thoughts.

"My choice is—"
