On summer evenings, there is a cool breeze.

After entering September, the original scorching heat seems to have eased a lot.

Especially in the northwest of the Garneman Empire, the cool breeze here at night can make people feel a little chilly.

On the deserted path, there was a figure who was constantly hurrying north, wearing a pale yellow robe, and a staff nearly two meters behind his back. At the top of the staff, there is a high-grade Holy Light Magic Stone.

Looking at the young mage's face again, handsome and tired, his eyes were a little tired after the long journey, and his robe was also covered with dust, but he didn't know it, and he only wanted to enter Chongjiang Province as soon as possible.

This young handsome mage is none other than the only hope of the Brant family today - Roddick Brant.

After the battle in the imperial capital, Roddick was sent out by the old butler of his family as soon as possible.

Roddick had always thought that the old butler would only serve the interests of the Brandt family, and would never care whether he lived or died.

But in the end, the butler became his savior, which Roddick did not expect at all.

And along the way, Roddick was also chased and killed several times. Once, he was on the verge of life and death, and finally relied on the last wind-based magic scroll on his body to barely escape.

He had no idea that his family would have to pay so much for the empire, and that in the end, the new king would have to exterminate the Brant family.

This time, if it weren't for the old butler's early guess and plan to send him out of the city in advance, he might have died in the City of Holy Light.

He really couldn't figure out what the "rogue" king would rely on to maintain his rule after losing the support of the Brandt family.

What he didn't expect was that the new king would be so "affordable" of him that he would send dozens of Magister-level killers to hunt him down.

Along the way, Roddick has always been scared, and he didn't dare to stop at all, and came directly to Chongjiang Province.

He knew that only the Vail family could provide him with shelter now, and that the rest of the empire had already fallen into the hands of the new king.

Roddick took the last alchemy pill to replenish his strength, then took a deep breath and continued to run northward, hoping to reach the Van family's manor in Chongjiang Province before dawn.

In fact, after running for a long distance, Roddick's physical strength had already reached the brink of collapse, but he had relied on the alchemy medicine he carried with him and the magic of his holy light magician to survive until now.

It's just that at this time, he is already at the end of his crossbow, and if he encounters the killer team chasing him at this time, then he will inevitably be dead.

Just as he was running less than three miles north, there was a merciless laughing voice behind him.

"Look, the proud son of the sky in the past is now more embarrassed than a wild dog!"

"Yes, I remember how arrogant he was when he was in the legion, and now he has fallen into such a field, how sad it is!"

At the same time, a large number of horses' hooves were constantly heard behind him.

At this moment, Roddick completely collapsed, seeing that he was about to enter the territory of Chongjiang Province, but at this last moment, he was caught up by this group of ruthless killers.

Roddick's heart was so dead that he soon stopped, and stopped running north. Because he knew that as long as the other party was bent on chasing and killing him, then with his current physical state, no matter how desperate he was, it would be impossible to successfully run to the territory of the Fan family.

There is still a certain distance from Chongjiang Province.

Seeing that Roddick suddenly stopped, someone behind him said in a strange way: "Yo, why did you stop? You keep running!"

The other sneered and said, "No matter how powerful a wild dog is, there will be times when he gets tired!"

For a while, the sound of laughter was endless.

Roddick gasped and looked back at the powerful killers who were rushing in, his face extremely ugly.

But he still instinctively removed the staff of holy light from behind him that had been with him for many years.

"What? Do you still want to do the battle of the trapped beasts? It's useless, you're just a high-level mage, look at us again? Which one is not above the strength of the Magister? Just rely on you? It's not enough to stuff our teeth!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it attracted another burst of laughter.

Roddick looked at those people coldly, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "When the Brant family was strong, which of you was not as loyal to our family as a dog? Now that you have finally revealed your true colors, you are really a group of hypocritical wild dogs!"

Hearing this, some people in the crowd were naturally very unhappy, and they saw a tall and thin old man walk out of the crowd and say coldly to Roddick: "Don't you know how many disgraceful things the Brant family has done over the years? Suppress other families, exclude dissidents, and violate the laws of the empire! If you really want to talk about it, your family's crimes can be said to last for three days and three nights!"

The other said, "What nonsense do you talk about this sinner, kill him quickly and go back to the errand!"

A lot of people agreed.

And a big man with a strong body was the first to say, "Since you don't make a move, then I'm welcome!" As soon as the words fell, the man was already holding a giant axe, and rushed towards Roddick with a blast step.

For the battle exploits that have already arrived in front of him, this strong man naturally does not want to miss it easily.

Seeing that others were being taken advantage of, they suddenly felt anxious, and they jumped up one after another, all wanting to grab the battle merits.

Roddick watched as many killers rushed in front of him in an instant, and at this moment, he suddenly lost all fighting spirit, he sighed, and then closed his eyes.

He knew that even if he continued to resist, he would not be able to defeat so many Magister-level masters.

Moreover, the past days of the Great Escape also made him feel physically and mentally exhausted, and there was no longer any way to continue fighting to the end. Instead of living so tired, maybe a happy end will make him feel better. At the last minute, he chose to give up.

But just as the strong man with the giant axe was about to cut off Roddick's head, a figure was like lightning, blocking Roddick's body.

The man shoved Roddick away and shouted, "Get out!"

At the same time, the man's sword blocked the strong man's great axe.

Roddick only felt the force push him away, and his body was like an arrow off the string, and he kept falling backwards.

And at the moment of landing, Roddick was extremely stable, and it can be imagined how accurate this person's control of power is!

"Alonso, so you're a traitor too!"

"Bastard, you're crazy! How dare you let the fugitive go!"

......

Faced with the questioning of many "colleagues", Alonso didn't care, he just turned his face slightly and said to Roddick: "Find a way to help me tell the deputy head of Aofeng, just say that the Nightingale project is over!"

After a moment's hesitation, Roddick gritted his teeth and continued to flee north.

Behind him, the sound of fierce battle was heard. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "Hell Codex Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
