"Report to the sir, please instruct the target bandits in an abandoned village not far northwest of this place!"

A soldier in armor earnestly reported in front of the tent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to the report, I saw a person who looked like a chief, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked a little thoughtful.

Take a closer look at this is actually a woman, only to see her short hair shawl, solemn face, and a delicate armor on her body is also concave and convex with her body, perfectly fitting her figure, at first glance it is a well-ordered product, and it exudes a burst of heroism.

This woman was the third royal daughter of the kingdom of Arsland, Irnov. Nova is only twenty-one years old. As the third princess, Nova was also the head of the Fourth Royal Order of the Kingdom of Arslan.

Although it was the Fourth Knights. However, the order of the Knights is not in order of strength, and the strength of the Fourth Knights is second only to the King's direct personal guard, which can be described as the elite of the elite.

"Excellent! The order goes down, and after nightfall, the encirclement and suppression operation will be carried out! Half full tonight, get ready for battle! ”

"No!"

After receiving the order, the soldier respectfully withdrew from the tent.

However, at this time, there was a middle-aged man in the tent in addition to Nova, and I saw this man sitting on the side seat on Nova's left side with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes were bright, and he was not angry and arrogant.

After the soldier completely withdrew, the middle-aged man slowly got up and walked in front of Nova, his waist was half bent, his hands were arched, and he said with a serious face:

"Commander, this matter is very important, there is no room for mistakes, you can be sure."

"Yes, I know. This time, except for a few members of the regiment who were on a mission outside, almost all the elites of the regiment were brought out. In addition, this night attack is unprepared, and there should be no problem in catching these bandits. But... ”

Listening to what Nova said, the man's eyebrows had slowly stretched, and when he heard it, he wrinkled slightly.

"But what?"

"But master, the apprentice has told you many times, don't be so serious when it's just the two of us, just call me Nova."

Hearing Nova's words, the middle-aged man laughed out loud, and when the laughter stopped for a while, he gave Nova a white look, pretended to be angry and said:

"Now that I am carrying out a mission outside, the stakes are very high, and I can't afford child's play."

Nova didn't say anything when she heard this, but stuck out her tongue at the middle-aged man when he turned back to his seat.

It turned out that this middle-aged man's name was Renaud, who had been teaching Nova since he was a child, and was the former head of the Fourth Royal Knights.

Due to the gradual increase in age, and the fact that he has been fighting for many years, there are many old injuries on his body, especially the wound on his chest, which almost killed him back then, and it has become his habit to touch his chest from time to time. Over the years, he has gradually retired from the front line, mainly engaged in the training of newcomers.

This time he went out on a mission, and it was really because of the importance of this mission, so Nova invited him out again.

This mission is to recover the national treasure that was lost not long ago, the "Magic Seal of the Patriarch of the Ding Race Family".

(It is recorded that the Magic Seal is a technique created by a great sage more than 6,500 years ago, which can refine people's magic and inherent abilities into specific patterns.) In other words, one person's magic and inherent abilities can be transferred to another person through the Magic Seal. Usually passed down from generation to generation in powerful families, the person who receives the magic seal will leave an engraved pattern on the body, just like a tattoo, and have the opportunity to use the magic and inherent abilities of the person who has been extracted. ）

(In this world, only people with inherent abilities can use the corresponding magic and abilities.) So, there was a time in history when people referred to people with inherent abilities as the chosen ones. ）

(The Ding Leith family is a great family in history, prosperous for more than 3,000 years, and only the best people in the family can inherit the position of patriarch and inherit the patriarch's magic seal.) Therefore, its preciousness cannot be compared with that of ordinary magic seals. ）

Renault returned to his seat, his expression slowly became serious again, and said, "I have never understood why this group of little thieves was able to enter the palace and steal this tightly preserved magic seal? ”

Hearing Renault's words, Nova's face sank, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I also think it's strange, logically speaking, this kind of thing can't happen at all." Does anyone answer it? ”

"I think it's very likely."

After speaking, the two of them looked solemn, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

After nightfall, Nova and her members carried out a surprise attack on the camp of the bandits in the darkness of the night as planned, and the bandits were taken by surprise, plus the elites who came.

This group of bandits couldn't resist at all, even if they killed countless people and lived a life of licking blood with knives. However, in front of the Knights, their numbers were still as small as ice cubes in water, and only two of the dozens of bandits were left by this time.

Under the leadership of Nova and Renault, the remaining two have been surrounded by the Knights.

"You have no way back, hurry up and surrender!"

"If you say surrender, surrender, then I won't be very faceless!"

In the middle of the Knights, there were two people in between, one with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the other with a thin and withered waist. It was the man who spoke.

One big and one small two cups leaned against their backs, looking panicked, their heads kept looking around, for fear of missing something, the weapons in their hands were firmly grasped like life-saving straws, they had more wounds on their bodies, which could be said to be full of holes, and the blood stains on their bodies could not distinguish whether they were their own or someone else's.

"Boss, boss, what now?" The little man asked.

"It seems that you can't escape, but now you have to fight! Capture the thief and capture the king first! ”

The man called the boss shouted and rushed straight towards Nova. He knew very well that it was useless to surrender now, stealing the national treasure would inevitably lead to his own death, and the only way to break out of this encirclement was to hold the head of the Knights hostage, only then would there be a glimmer of life.

This big man is actually the leader of this group of bandits, because the big man in the melee just now has done his best to deal with the enemy in front of him, so he didn't see Nova's battle, and he didn't know what Nova's strength was, plus he was quite confident in his own strength. So he gave it a bold try, hoping that the other party was just a vase that became the head of the knights because of his prominent status.

His last hope was met with disappointment. He quickly slashed at Nova with a knife, only to see Nova flash lightly to the side, and then a knife directly left a deep scar on the big man's body, running through from the bottom left to the top right, and the strong force also shook the big man back to the feet of the little man, and he couldn't survive.

When the little man saw the eldest brother flying back like this, he was immediately shocked, and he couldn't help but be angry, his face was already crowded with anger, he looked at the knights around him, and then suddenly pounced on the big man's body.

Nova did not command the members of the Order to stop them, first, the distance between them was not short, in case there was any fraud. The second is that according to the current situation, there is no need to take risks, as long as you work steadily, there will not be too many problems, unless...

It's impossible, many of the people killed before are better equipped than the two people in front of them, and that thing won't be on them again! Nova thought of something, but immediately denied it.

I saw that the little man quickly took out two things from the big man's body, one was pinned behind him before he could see what it was, and the other was a jade box.

Ordinary members of the knight corps had never seen this jade box, so naturally they would not react. However, Nova and Renault were different, they seemed to have seen this thing, and when they saw this jade box clearly, their expressions suddenly changed, revealing a look of horror.

Seeing that the little man was about to open the jade box, Renault shouted: "Not good! ”

As the jade box opened, the little man took out a golden scroll from it, and then quickly opened it, and a beam of red strong light burst out instantly, illuminating the sky.

Seeing such a vision, the knights couldn't help but retreat slightly, and anyone who looked at it could guess that this scroll was the purpose of their trip, "The Magic Seal of the Patriarch of the Ding Rath Family".
