[Why save her?] 】

Alice leaps from the wooden beam, the nightmare crack in her hand piercing the gap between the bandit's helmet and shoulder armor. The crumbling sound of broken bones and red blood splattered outward from the orifice of the oartery.

[I don't know. 】

The man let out a terrible scream, as piercing as a pig that had been killed. This apparently alarmed the other person. He shouted, raised his sword, and slashed at Alice's head!

[Is there something about her that attracts me?] 】

With a single kick, the flesh shield in front of him, which weighed at least one hundred and fifty kilograms with armor, fulfilled its duty well. Alice took the opportunity to take a lunge forward, and pressed the half-covered iron helmet with her left hand, which was burning with a burning touch.

Or is it my own desire? 】

The bandit's head turned into a charred black mass mixed with solidified molten iron in half a second. He fell backwards and was never heard again. Alice then catches the soft, gray-eyed girl, and a spell is cast on her to heal minor injuries.

[It's hard to understand, so let's do it first.] Because I've already done it. 】

"How? Will you be able to walk on your own? ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Alice casually cut off the shackles on her hands and feet, and shoved the robber's steel sword into her hand.

"I feel like you should be able to do swordsmanship, so follow me." Alice pulled her sword from the corpse and determined the way back.

The first robber had a distinct crack in the cortex around his neck, and it was easy to conclude that this was the work of a gray-eyed girl. She should have done it with hairpins, wooden skewers, or sharpened pieces of rusty iron. The attack is very ruthless, and the position is also very accurate. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

"I'll take care of your back." The girl's reaction was beyond Alice's expectations, and she skillfully swung the sword in her hand, although her body was still a little weak, but her tone was full of confidence.

Alice looked at her in amazement. The girl's determined gaze expressed her conviction and persistence. It seems that it will be a little smoother than expected.

Although it must not be much better, the next journey will not be as smooth as before, and the disturbance just now is obviously not a level that can be ignored. Alice could already hear hurried footsteps and shouting faintly from above. The bandits stationed there had noticed the following changes, and estimated that it would take them less than thirty breaths to rush here.

"Then, follow me." Alice took out the mana recovery potion, unscrewed it, and drank the turquoise liquid in one gulp. It was like the coolness that exploded in her brain, and she suddenly recovered most of her mana.

She immediately threw a fireball at the intersection where she came, and the violent explosion of flames made a mess on the road ahead, even if it couldn't cause the barrier to collapse, it was estimated that no one would be able to come lightly in a short time.

"Let's go!" Alice strode forward, quickly heading towards the Spider Crypt. At this moment, she was full of energy and mana, and the flames and thunder of destruction were thrown at any enemy who came up like no money. Explosions, burns, shadows and streamers, in the light and shadow that surrounds all kinds of magical energy, she is as majestic as a Valkyrie.

'Bah!! 'The door to the prison was smashed to pieces by the fireball, along with the robbers hiding behind the door. And several crossbow arrows came in the dust, but they were blocked by Alice with her sword raised one by one. She paused in her footsteps - rush!

"Die!" The smoke that dispersed through the gate was violently blown away in both directions by the intense wind pressure. The blade of the sword pierced through it cut the crossbowman in half, spilling blood and internal organs into the cage, triggering a terrifying scream. Some people were even so frightened that they rolled their eyes and fainted.

Alice, on the other hand, leapt through the blood mist and pierced the throat of another crossbowman.

And one more ......

When the icicle had already coalesced in Alice's hands, ready to be thrown at the last crossbowman. She was slightly stunned by the sight before her—the girl had preempted her and plunged her steel sword into the last man's abdomen.

She must have killed for the first time, and her face turned pale and her fingers trembled slightly.

But he gritted his teeth and tried his best to pierce the cold blade deeper.

[This girl...... It's not much older than me, but it's so strong. Speaking of which...... What is it like to kill someone? 】

The ice pick that burst through the air then pierced the crossbowman's head.

【…… It's like crushing an ant to death. 】

Alice's brow furrowed slightly.

"Stop dating, let's go." Ignoring the cries for help from the prison, Alice walked straight to the end of the passage. And the girl didn't hesitate much, although she looked a little helpless, she still tried not to look at the civilians who were begging in the iron prison. Firmly kept up with Alice.

Now is not the time to rescue them, not yet.

There was a dull loud thud directly above, followed by the collapse of masonry and heavy footsteps through the stone wall above. It seems that the little obstacle that Alice has just set up has been cleared, and it will take a few dozen breaths at most. This is where the pursuing internal guards come in.

There is not much time left.

The heavy oak door was slammed open, then slammed shut. Alice shot a magic light at the bottom of the cavern. Thick hemp rope was quickly wrapped around the chandelier and the corners of the stone chamber.

"Do you know how to use a shield?"

"I've learned a few, and I'm not very proficient in it, but I have some lesson......s," the gray-eyed girl's slightly hesitant voice hadn't fully blurted out, and a kite-shaped shield on the ground was picked up by Alice, and flew towards her in a whirlwind—the girl caught it steadily.

She waved it lightly, and then made a defensive gesture towards the outer door as Alice expected.

The Great War is coming, but the eve of the rainstorm is always quiet. Just like this little stone room now. Except for the grinding sound of Alice laying the ropes, there was only the sound of the girl's slightly heavy breathing due to excitement...... and the approaching footsteps.

"That ......" the gray-eyed girl seemed to want to break this unspeakable depression, "Thank you for saving me, my name is Lydia, Lydia Storm." ”

"Just call me Alice."

"I will definitely repay your kindness." Lydia said firmly, and it was not hard to tell from her tone that she had made up her mind.

"Huh," Alice chuckled, the last knot clasped tightly. "If there is a favor, it will be repaid, and if there is a grievance, it will be repaid. Then I'm looking forward to it. But first, you have to-"

"—Live!"

The terrifying two-handed axe whipped up the vicious wind and slashed the oak door to pieces. Broken pieces of wood flew everywhere, and in the corridor behind the wooden door frame, at least twenty hoplites were slaughtering the small stone chamber with red eyes!

"Protect yourself!" Alice let out a low roar and stabbed at the robbers. The terrain here is not very wide, and only allows two people to walk side by side to guò. It was impossible to break them one by one with her agility, but Alice was still able to rely on the speed of the robbers' reflexes to quickly unleash her sword, even if she couldn't penetrate the steel armor and deal fatal damage, she could still stop them in their tracks.

That's what Alice is all about.

Chopping, stabbing, slashing, simple swordsmanship, but with speed suppressed everyone. Let the other party roar again and again, and the sound of abuse is endless. The robbers were never able to break into the stone chamber.

The crossbow arrows that could threaten her could not be fired in such a place, and the bandit who wanted to force his breakthrough with his heavy armor and size advantage was broken by the impact of the kite-shaped shield with all her might, and then he was injured in the joint by the long sword in Alice's hand, and his combat ability was greatly reduced. Instead, it hinders the people behind it.

The impasse was broken when Ancee climbed up the rope.

"It's not the same as planned." Anche took the bow and fired a series of arrows, killing several robbers in an instant. The rest of the robbers were also intimidated, and even though their fanatical gaze still expressed their abnormal spirit, their movements were much more conservative than before.

"Unfortunately, things always change. It is the consequence of my arrogance to guide zhì. ”

"I have no intention of holding me accountable before the battle," Anche replied, "but Gerd has created a powerful force with necromancy, and we can't do effective damage in this castle without knowing how it is constituted, so it's better to hurry." ”

"So...... Get out of the way! Lydia! ”

……………………

When Franster and the others climbed up, they only saw shallow frost barbs all over the corridor, as well as dozens of frozen corpses lying messily on the ground of the corridor. And, Alice, who looks a little tired from the consumption of mana.

This small storm of ice and snow almost froze the steel zuò armor as brittle as a biscuit, not to mention the flesh and blood within.

"That's a ...... Will you be able to continue fighting? The second half of his sentence was clearly addressed to Alice.

She then made a gesture that didn't hurt.

"Very well, we must rescue the civilians inside the fortress." Frlast paused, "If possible, try to keep the members of Baron Storm's family, we can't just watch a nobleman's blood cut off before our eyes." ”

Alice then turned her gaze to Lydia, who was leaning against the door. And the latter immediately puffed up his chest, and most of the disguise on his face had been almost cleared by her on the way over. She responded.

"I'm Lydia Storm. She was the second daughter of the Baron. ”

"At the same time, it should also be the last member of the Storm Side."
