The guards were the back-up hands that Serukayi had arranged from the beginning.

After being asked by Louise to make arrangements, he had already arranged for people to gather troops before he went to the Adventurers' Guild to find Bai Yin.

Most of the soldiers who arrived were from Winterstone's guards, and a small number were from his own guards.

It stands to reason that the soldiers in the army under the command of Serukai who have been fighting on the front lines all year round should be more elite than the guards who have lived in peaceful areas for a long time. And having more than half of this improvised team made up of guards would obviously reduce combat effectiveness.

This was only because in order to avoid the influence of public opinion, if he could follow his wishes, he would have come with a large army a long time ago.

There are many reasons for this, one of which is that this is Winterstone after all, and the nominal person in charge is Louise. And Serukayi, in fact, should have gone to the west of Winterstone City to prepare for a decisive battle with the demons. However, at this time, the troops from all over the country were still gathering, and Sairukai secretly ran back to Winterstone City under the pretext that he didn't need himself for the time being.

Because he came back quietly in private, he only brought more than a dozen personal guards. Now that they are all in the backbone of this guard team, there is no way for Sairukai to find more people even if he tries to find more people.

Second, in order not to arouse Bai Yin's suspicions, he could only go to Bai Yin alone. And these guards who followed were all attracted by the marks left by Serukai along the way. There was a long way between them and Serukai, which was why the battle had been going on for so long before they were here.

The presence of the guards caused a brief silence in the field. However, the Assassins then took the lead. Several of the guards who belonged to Serukayi's personal guard immediately rushed out of the crowd to meet them.

As for the remaining guards of Winterstone City, these temporary recruits are not elites, and they are all newly recruited after the Battle of Winterstone. The leader of the team is Rudy, who has made meritorious contributions in this war with the demons and was promoted to squad leader.

Originally, Rudy had resigned as a guard in order to apprentice to Zhou Yan. However, the battalion who was Rudy's boss did not immediately hand in Rudy's resignation, but secretly sued Rudy's wife.

This is the scene where Leila finds Rudy later. And Leila only said that she went to deliver food to Rudy before she was told about his resignation, which is also what the camp meant.

Therefore, when Rudy temporarily gave up going out because of Leila and returned to the guards, he could still serve as the squad leader.

The team of guards who followed the marker of Serukayi, after reaching the last marker, heard a loud movement in two places ahead. There they split into two groups, one with Rudy's guards, and the other with only a few of Serukayi's personal guards.

And the members of Rudy's team who were members of the personal guards of Serukai stayed to increase the combat effectiveness of the guards.

As he stepped inside, Rudy saw Yu'er, Yoyo, and Baiyin at a glance, as well as the Assassins fighting them. Without thinking about it, Rudy immediately gave the order to protect Yu'er.

The appearance of the guards was a surprise for Zhou Yan. After all, the development of things has completely exceeded Zhou Yan's expectations.

These guards may be able to defeat the Assassins and become the Cunzi who holds Bai Yin back. And with them, they can better protect Yu'er and Yoyo.

When the guards appeared, Youmeng's brows, which were separated from Zhou Yan, were already furrowed. For Zhou Yan, the guards were unexpected reinforcements, but for Youmeng, these guards were unexpected obstacles.

If they wait for them to surround Yu'er, then the assassination of Youmeng will also increase the difficulty. The demon dream, who immediately made a judgment in his heart, no longer paid attention to Zhou Yan, and rushed towards Zhu'er at a little under his feet.

"Wait!" Zhou Yan's words only spit out one word, and he was interrupted by the pain coming from his chest. His physical condition at the moment is okay to stand in place and fight back, it is impossible for him to chase the demon dream.

And without Zhou Yan's containment, Youmeng suddenly approached the guards. At this time, they just happened to protect Yu'er behind them. Maybe it was because they saw Youyou and Yu'er standing tightly together, and the guards also protected Youyou, who still had blood stains on the corners of his mouth and looked a little pale and pitiful.

But after all, the time was too short, and they didn't have time to stabilize the formation.

As for Youmeng, her menacing appearance coupled with her undisguised killing intent against Yu'er has exposed the fact that she is an enemy.

The new young guards were swordsmen in their hands and were in formation...... Well, they just stood together, after all, the time was too tight, and the training was not enough to put up an effective formation at all, and they just wanted to block the demon dream with their numerical advantage.

And although Youmeng is violent, when the first few people saw that Youmeng was such a petite beautiful girl, they still had a somewhat contemptuous mentality.

The only consequence of contempt is that as soon as it is touched, blood immediately bursts out. Of course, even if you don't take it lightly, the results won't make much difference. After all, the gap in strength is too obvious, and the demon dream is like a tiger entering the flock. Between the ups and downs, the guards fell.

Seeing this, Rudy immediately greeted him. But even if he trained a few more years than these recruits, he wasn't much better than them. At least when facing Youmeng, before his sword was swung, Youmeng's blade had already slashed into his body first.

The pain caused Rudy to scream, and the whole person fell backwards.

Are you going to die? By the time Rudy had this thought, Youmu had already broken a straight line in the crowd of guards. The two knives swung incessantly, and with each slash, one of the guards fell.

In an instant, Youmeng broke through the defenses formed by the guards with her amazing strength. At this time, none of the remaining guards dared to step forward.

This petite girl, when she attacked, there was no enemy. The image of swiftness and toughness has been etched in the minds of these recruits. Instinctively afraid, they could only cower in place, not daring to stop them.

And at this moment, in front of the demon dream, there is only Youyou who protects Yu'er behind him. Obviously, Yu'er is taller than Youyou, and her actual age should be older than her.

But Yoyo seemed to be an adult at the moment, holding his staff tightly with his left hand, and pulling out the short sword that had been worn on his waist with his right hand, and the decorative effect was far greater than the actual combat effect.

"Blocker, cut it." Youmeng didn't attack immediately, but just glanced at Youyou coldly, and pointed at her with a small knife and said such a sentence. It seems to be threatening Yoyo to get out of the way immediately.

I was scared, and my whole body trembled with fear. Just now, because Youmeng and the guards were fighting together, they didn't dare to use magic to prevent accidental injury, but now it's too close to cast a spell.

Yoyo, who has lost the ability of magic, has no ability to resist in the face of a powerful opponent like Youmeng.

It must have hurt to be slashed, and maybe you would die. Fear made Yoyo cry, but she didn't let go. Obviously, he couldn't hold the staff in his hand, and he was about to suffocate from the pressure.

But Yoyo still firmly stood between Youmeng and Yu'er, because it was Zhou Yan who handed over Yu'er to her for protection, and because although Yu'er at this moment has the body of an adult, she is just an innocent child inside. Let Yoyo just get out of the way, she really can't do it.

From the eyes of Youyou, Youmeng had already read what she meant. So the small knife in his right hand was raised, and then he cut it down without hesitation.

Yoyo closed his eyes in fear, but the pain of the slash did not befall his body. Instead, there was a thud of metal. When he opened his eyes, Yoyo saw Zhou Yan blocking in front of him, and the iron sword in his hand was against the little knife of Demon Dream.

During the time that Youmeng was dragged by the guards, although Zhou Yan barely finished breathing for a short time, he rushed over immediately after stopping his injuries, and finally blocked Youmeng's attack on Yoyo at the last moment.

It's definitely not to play a handsome hero to save the beauty just to appear at such a critical moment, absolutely not, absolutely not! Said important things three times, and Zhou Yan didn't dare to joke with Youyou's life.

However, Zhou Yan's next words made Youyou's eyes widen in surprise, because she couldn't understand what Zhou Yan would say:

"Obviously you don't want to kill, why do you have to kill Yu'er? What kind of hatred do you have with her? ”

But Youmeng didn't answer, just swung the Changtai knife on the other side and slashed, Zhou Yan immediately returned his sword to block it while continuing: "Tell me, why? You obviously refuse to kill anyone else, why are you so obsessed with Zhu'er's life? ”

It was not without reason for Zhou Yan to say this, in fact, he felt strange in the initial battle with Youmeng. Youmeng used the terrifying speed sword technique of "One Flash in Two Hundred Days" twice, but it only left sword marks on his chest and back, and the injuries were not as serious as they looked. Otherwise, even if there was self-healing brought by true qi, Zhou Yan would not be able to recover so quickly.

If this was just speculation, the battle between Youmeng and the guards just now confirmed Zhou Yan's thoughts. If you look closely, you will find that although the guards lying on the ground at this moment were all cut to the chest and bleeding, none of them died on the spot...... Well, there are some unlucky ghosts who will probably ascend to heaven if they don't stop the bleeding in time.

However, it is true that Youmeng did not kill her, after all, with her strength, it would be easy to break the throats of these guards or pierce their hearts at the moment of fighting.

Perhaps, this girl is much kinder than she imagined. That's why Zhou Yan was suspicious of her behavior, and of course this probably explains why Youmeng also saved Yoyo by the way when she stopped the assassin who attacked Yu'er for her own purposes.

Zhou Yan, who came to this conclusion, couldn't help but think about firing a cannon shot, trying to figure out the true thoughts of Youmeng, and see if there was a chance to persuade her to let go of her murderous intentions against Yu'er.

However, after Zhou Yan pointed out Youmeng's "good deeds", Youmeng's brows furrowed. It's not because of the entanglement after being told something in my heart, but just feeling irritable.

"Blocker, cut it." Youmu calmly repeated a phrase that had been said many times before.

But this time, Zhou Yan felt the firm belief in it. Belief turns into determination, and determination is embodied in ......

The swift swing of the Taidao made Zhou Yan have to react immediately. And in order not to affect Youyou and Yu'er behind him, he couldn't retreat at all.

Goodwill? Don't kill?

Youmeng's swift and merciless attack like a storm left sword wounds on Zhou Yan's body, which was the result of Zhou Yan's desperate resistance, otherwise it would not have left scars, but would have been stabbed into a plug.

Demon Dream also sued Zhou Yan with practical actions, and the so-called mouth cannons can only be stored in the story. Otherwise, if the mouth cannon is so strong, will there be war?
