The battle in the council hall was raging!

"Bang, bang, bang!" Stephanie swung away the three magic missiles fired by Draeno with three swords in a row, and then quickly backhanded 'brushed' the two swords to force back Enteus who was sneaking up behind him.

Draenor suddenly bent the ten fingers of his hands, and the three magic missiles that were swung away by the long sword immediately changed their flight trajectory under his control, flew back upside down, and attacked Stephanie again.

Stephanie didn't have time to swing the magic missile with her sword again, so she had to roll on the ground in an attempt to dodge the magic missile. However, after successfully dodging two of the magic missiles, she was unable to dodge the third.

'Boom', the magic missile hit Stephanie, exploding in her back.

Although Draenor is known for his undead summoning spells, the magic missiles he unleashes are not insignificant.

Stephanie 'wow' spat out a mouthful of blood and fell forward. However, the moment she fell, she suddenly threw her backhand, and the long sword in her hand suddenly came out of her hand, turning into a bolt of lightning and flying towards Draenor.

Delaenor, who was proud of beating Stephanie to a serious injury, saw the long sword flying, and his face instantly distorted, he didn't expect Stephanie to send such a Jedi counterattack when he was seriously injured.

Frightened, Draenor quickly danced his hands, pinched his fingers, and chanted a spell in his mouth, intending to release a magical shield against physical attacks.

But it was too late.

Before the magic shield spell in Draenor's mouth could be finished, the sword had already broken through the air and flown in. There was a 'poof' sound, and the sword passed through his chest and stuck into a marble pillar behind him. Because of the force, the long sword trembled after being inserted into the marble pillar, and let out a buzzing sword sound.

Draenor lowered his head, staring in disbelief at the large bloody hole in his chest. The throat of his neck was still squirming, as if he wanted to finish the unfinished magic shield spell. However, he clearly felt that his life was passing rapidly. His breathing was getting harder and harder, his consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and now he could no longer chant even the simplest syllable of a magic shield spell ...... out of his mouth.

Draenor slowly fell, unable to finish the magic shield spell.

Stephanie staggered to her feet. At this moment, she is covered in blood, like a bloody person. Especially on her back, the chain mail of the protective body was blasted open by a magic missile, and the exposed flesh inside was charred black, which looked particularly terrifying!

Around Stephanie, there were more than fifty corpses lying on the side, and in addition to Draenor, who had just been killed, the other two deputy captains of the 'Nightblade Panther' bandit group, Kaspersky and Wright, were also among them.

Stephanie was badly wounded, but she also made the subordinates who rebelled against her pay a heavy price!

Hughes looked at Stephanie with a gloomy expression, he didn't expect that after losing two seventh-level warriors and one seventh-level mage, plus dozens of fifth- and sixth-level warriors, he hadn't even subdued Stephanie.

However, he was a little glad that he didn't rush into the fight in the first place, otherwise he would have been the first target of Stephanie's revenge for his betrayal.

And he's just a seventh-level peak warrior!

But today's Stephanie, no matter how you look at it, is just like a broken candle in the wind, and she only needs to blow one more breath of her own, and it will be extinguished immediately.

Hughes slowly drew his sword.

With Hughes's movements, Enteus and the remaining Nightblade Panther warriors in the hall also raised their blades again, ready to launch a final attack.

A bitter smile crept up the corners of Stephanie's mouth, and she turned to look at the door of the council hall blocked by the rebels. The movement in the council hall was so loud that it was impossible for the other bandits in the castle to be unaware, but until now, no one had rushed to the rescue, and it seemed that Hughes had already controlled the entire bandit group.

Due to the excessive blood loss, Stephanie felt a bout of lightheadedness. A deep tiredness hit her heart, and she felt so tired that she wanted to lie down and sleep beautifully. However, under the watchful eye of this group of bandits, she must not fall! If she fell, she knew exactly what she would face.

Stephanie shook her head, trying to keep her head clear. But it didn't work. The scene in front of her gradually became distorted and blurred......

For some reason, at this time, she suddenly remembered a scene ...... many years ago.

In the vast northern grasslands, a little girl huddled beside a wagon in a caravan with her hands and knees, watching in horror as a group of bandits slowly approached her with a sinister smile.

The little girl's parents, as well as the rest of the caravan that had traveled with the little girl's parents, had all fallen on the steppe. The bubbling blood dyed this originally verdant grassland into a shocking dark red.

On the blade of the butcher's knife in the hands of the bandits, the red blood was still dripping down incessantly.

The little girl closed her eyes in despair. A crystal tear spilled out of the corner of her eye and slid silently down her cheek.

On the grassland, there was a sudden rustle of wild beasts trampling on the grass.

"Look, it's the Nightblade Leopard! Senna Yemo, it's Senna Yemo here! Everyone run!" A scream sounded among the bandits, and the bandits immediately scattered like ants in a fryer, and they didn't even care about the caravan goods they had looted, and desperately fled to the depths of the grassland.

The little girl opened her eyes when she heard the sound.

She saw that on the grassland, a black panther with a black body and a whole body full of strange patterns was rushing towards her. Odd book e-book

Seeing that the bandits began to scatter and flee, the black panther suddenly jumped hard, and immediately pounced dozens of meters away, and fiercely threw one of the fleeing bandits from behind.

With a sweep of the panther's right paw, the bandit let out a scream and stopped moving.

After the panther had eliminated one of the bandits, he looked up at the rest of the bandits who were fleeing in different directions of the grassland, two glints flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly let out a roar when he looked up to the sky.

"Whew!"

With a roar, dozens of tree roots suddenly burst out of the ground at the same time from the feet of the bandits who were scurrying with their heads, and quickly wrapped their ankles firmly around them.

The running bandits were suddenly unable to move.

"Whew!"

The panther let out a second roar.

On the calm grassland, a gust of wind suddenly blew. In the sound of the whirring wind, a huge wheal visible to the naked eye quickly formed on the grassland, tumbling endlessly.

The next moment, the wheal suddenly exploded again. Countless wind blades shot out of it, overwhelmingly attacking the dozens of bandits who were unable to move because they were entangled in the roots of the trees.

After a series of screams, calm finally returned to the grassland.

After eliminating the bandits, the panther set his sights on the little girl. Suddenly, it jumped high on all fours, and threw itself on the little girl's head.

"Ahh She tilted her head and closed her eyes to death.

But after a long time, nothing happened.

The little girl opened her eyes again.

A handsome elf was half-crouching in front of her at the moment, looking her up and down. This elf has dark skin, and does not have a fair complexion like the other elves. He turned out to be a rare black elf among the elves.

Seeing the black elf in front of her, the little girl was stunned. And what about the panther? She looked around, but there was no sign of the panther.

"What's your name, kid, do you have any relatives?" the black elf asked suddenly.

"My name is Stephanie Melson. All my relatives have been killed by robbers!" there were tears in the little girl's eyes.

"This group of bastards dares to rob my territory, and they also break my rules of making money without killing people, damn it!" the black elf scolded hatefully.

"Oh, by the way, kid, my name is Senna Yemo, and I'm the head of the 'Sun-Hunting' mercenary group stationed near this grassland! In addition, I occasionally change from a mercenary to a bandit! However, I am a good bandit, and I have always robbed only bandits and bullies, not ordinary people! Since you have no relatives, then you can simply follow me in the future!"

After speaking, the black elf stood up and reached out to pick up the little girl.

The setting sun reflected the grassland red, shining on the pair of figures that were gradually moving away.

The little girl snuggled into the warm embrace of the black elf and fell into a deep sleep. In her sleep, she dreamed that she was sitting on her mother's lap and listening to her tell her one of her favorite stories, a ...... about knights and princesses.

Stephanie couldn't hold on any longer.

Her feet went limp, and her whole body fell to the ground involuntarily.

Just as she was about to faint, she vaguely saw that the dozen or so rebels blocking the door of the council hall suddenly flew into the air, and a figure then broke in and pounced on her side.

A burst of shouting and scolding suddenly resounded in the hall. Everywhere the figures passed, the fists and shadows flew, and the bandits collapsed one after another. The people came as if they were in a no-man's land, and soon killed Stephanie's side.

At the moment when Stephanie fell, an arm reached out from the diagonal ground and grabbed her by the waist.

A groggy Stephanie couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't see who the owner of the arm was.

“...... Whenever the princess is in danger, the knight who guards her will appear in time to save the princess from danger. ”

Her mother's voice seemed to float in her ears again.

"Brother Senna, is it really you......?" Stephanie asked in a low voice in the moment before she fell unconscious.
