Baron Kswar knew in his heart that even if he was dissatisfied with the other party's reply, he had to accept this reality, and that taking the opportunity to attack would only push a potential ally to his opposite, and that no one would be able to hold fate by the throat in the treacherous curtain of the future, and perhaps success or failure would be in any seemingly insignificant detail. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The fame of the Witch of Hereth is widely spread among the people, and many bards like to sing about this mysterious witch of change, which is different from ordinary people as a pastime of stories, but in the eyes of some high-ranking forces in Eldran, Herris is a figure to be reckoned with.

If she is just a person, she may not be able to evaluate her whereabouts and unpredictable strength, and the real reason for her weight is the inconspicuous witch knights under her hands. Especially the mysterious twelve knights under her command, who are in charge of any force alone, God knows how she has collected and recruited these people to work for her over the years.

"In that case, I won't say more." Baron Keswo was silent for a long time. "But there's one thing I want you to do."

"You want me to help you join forces against El Nantes?" Herris looked at him with a smirk, apparently guessing the other man's thoughts.

"This is a great opportunity to weaken the Templar, and I'm sure you won't refuse this mutually beneficial cooperation, right?" Baron Kesvo's expression did not change.

"Indeed, it is difficult for me to refuse this tempting suggestion." Herris smiled indifferently. "If it had been the day before yesterday, I would have granted your request."

"What do you mean?" Baron Kswoe couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and his face immediately sank.

"Yesterday, Fernandes had secretly arrived at the Templar Brigade outside Cologne, counting the ......time," said Herris, looking up at the distant sky. Now that he should lead the Templars to the city of Cologne, it will not be easy to deal with him. ”

"Why haven't I received such important information?!"

Kesvo growled ugly, his anger vented at someone in the courtyard.

"I'm sorry, sir! The subordinate also just received the news. ”

In the dense grass and trees in the courtyard, a figure whose face could not be seen appeared in fear.

"According to the latest tip, all the chess pieces we planted next to each other have lost their voices, I'm afraid—"

"I'm afraid Fernandez has already learned of your plans, and is even ready to make a catch, right?" Hereth continued leisurely.

“……”

The phantom in the grass and trees did not refute it, and it seemed that Hereth was right.

“…… It's me who underestimated the Templar. Baron Kswoe said with a cloudy expression.

"Get out of here before Fernandes tracks you down." Herris said in a lazy voice. "I don't want to expose myself so early."

"Withdraw!"

Baron Ksworth got up and left without any fuss.

"What about those of you who stayed in Cologne? Why don't you take it with you? Herris reminded as she looked at the other party's back as she left.

"As pawns, they have fulfilled their mission."

Baron Ksvo did not look back, and the meaning was self-evident, and those who remained in Cologne became their outcasts.

Heris pursed her lips and watched the other party gradually disappear from sight, put down the cold tea, stretched her wonderful carcass, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but closed her eyes and rested quietly.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Interesting boy!"

……

……

Located on a street in a certain neighborhood of Cologne.

Xia Lan raised his hand and waved two swords, eliminating the first few thugs who did not know the bad intentions of the thugs, he turned his head, and the corner of his eye glanced at the growing crowd of people behind him, the number was about sixty or seventy, and they were extremely conspicuous in the streets, so it was no wonder that the thugs would attack one after another.

Wiping the blood off his sword and breathing a sigh of relief, he was a little tired from frequent battles, even if his enemies were miscellaneous fish that didn't pose much of a threat. But after all, he was injured, and the slightest violent movement would affect his injury.

Waking up from the abandoned house, identifying themselves to the frightened siblings and informing them of their intention to rescue the victims, they successfully gained their trust, and then left the abandoned house and headed for the west gate, where the city guards patrolled the least.

On the way, Xia Lan continued to solve some troubles through killing, and coupled with the propaganda of the two siblings, the number of townspeople who took refuge in the team gradually increased, thus forming the current situation.

Xia Lan knew that they would be targeted sooner or later if they made such a big move, and a deadly crisis would come at any time, so why did he not hesitate to expose himself to save these troubled townspeople who had been treated as trivial in the past?

Because he had a hunch that Mommer was planning an offensive against Cologne.

The result is nothing more than gambling with one's life on the future.

Due to the uneven quality of the team and the occasional attacks, they finally saw the outline of the West City Gate from a distance when they were exhausted, but instead of cheering, everyone fell into deep panic and despair.

On the avenue leading to the west gate, a column of heavily armed soldiers seemed to have been waiting for a long time to block their way.

"Green?! Hehe...... I didn't think I'd meet you here. ”

One of the knights at the head of this army saw that Xia Lan, who was guarding the refugees with a fearless expression, suddenly spoke, and he lifted his mask, revealing a familiar face.

Ralph.

One of the members of the team that carried out the Templar Trials mission, the Realist who had ruthlessly left behind his companions, was eliminated in the final assessment and turned into a reserve knight to serve as a non-commissioned officer in the City Guard.

Lamenting the miraculous circumstances of life, Ralph's twisted heart couldn't help but feel a pang of joy at the thought of his once unattainable companion being the object of his own life and death.

On the eve of the Cologne Rebellion, all the leading non-commissioned officers in the army who were devoted to the Templar were purged, and Ralph decisively betrayed the Templar in order to survive, and personally killed a number of probationers who had become non-commissioned officers in the army at the same time as proof of his surrender, including Corret.

Not long ago, as a member of the chief officer stationed at the West City Gate, he received an order from Shangfeng to lead a group of fleeing groups, especially the unidentified leader, who is said to have killed countless attacking thugs along the way, and is extremely dangerous, and Shangfeng suspects that the other party is likely to be one of the Templars who was seriously injured and escaped after breaking into Cologne and causing a riot.

Usually Ralph would not have the guts to confront a well-conditioned Templar, but a badly wounded Templar would be different, and no matter how heroic the opponent was, he would not be able to escape the defeat of the attack.

Ralph, who was eager to perform in front of his new master, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, but he did not expect that the enemy he faced would be the familiar Green! For this reason, he was confident that he would capture the new Templar's "companion".

Looking at Ralph's villain's face, Xia Lan instantly understood the cause and effect, it is true that it is not difficult for him to fight a bloody path with serious injuries, after all, there is no master in the army on the opposite side who can stop him, but the refugees behind him cannot escape.

Now that he's brought these refugees who trust him here, will he run away selfishly regardless of their lives or deaths? Unless he is willing to give up the reputation he has built so hard.

"Green! Let go of the resistance and take it......"

"Good! But I have one condition. ”

Without waiting for Ralph's words to persuade him to surrender, Xia Lan directly interrupted the other party.

Ralph's expression was slight, quite a bit of an unpleasant feeling of punching in the air, according to the normal procedure, shouldn't it be his own kind words to persuade him to surrender, and then he was rejected by righteous words, and finally he could only regretfully order to kill the other party? As a result, the other party did not follow the expected routine, which suddenly disrupted his mind.

After he sorted out his thoughts, Ralph, who had dismissed his face, said gloomily: "Green! Do you think you're qualified to negotiate terms with me now? ”

Xia Lan silently swung a sword at the tall camphor tree beside the road, and suddenly, the upper half of the camphor tree's torso slowly slipped and fell.

"If you decide to besiege me, how many lives are you prepared to pay?"

Faced with this situation, Ralph's pupils shrank.

Upper realm!

Xia Lan's understatement of the sword not only shocked Ralph, but also broke the stereotype of Xia Lan staying in the past, it turned out that he had unknowingly grown to such a terrifying strength realm.

Ralph was silent for a long time, and after several ideological struggles, he made a compromise.

"Name your terms."

"Let these people leave Cologne safely."

The sword in Xia Lan's hand pointed at the refugee team behind him.

"It's not something I can decide, I need to communicate with Shangfeng before I can give you an answer."

"Promise, or not, I'll only give you half a minute to consider!" Xia Lan couldn't see that he wanted to delay time and intended to move the rescue soldiers, and immediately urged the momentum of the upper realm to be aggressive.

The muscles in Ralph's head throbbed, and the hand holding the reins clenched tightly, and for a moment, the whole street was unusually quiet.

"Let them go!"

Ralph raised his hand and gritted his teeth to make this decision with difficulty!

"Go away, they won't embarrass you, and if you let me see it, I'll let them die for ten lives."

In the first sentence, he was talking to the refugees, and in the second sentence, he was warning Ralph.

"Brother Grimm...... You're going to be fine, right? ”

After a brief commotion, the refugees began to tremble and leave through the road that parted on the other side, and when the brother and sister who met in the waste passed by him, the sister hugged him with teary eyes and worried.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine, let's go with my brother. ”

Xia Lan smiled and patted her on the head, motioning for her brother, who was next to her sister, to take her away.

After a long time, when the refugees had left safely, Xia Lan took a deep breath and looked up at the sun that was gradually sinking to the west, he squinted, and there was an indescribable relief on his face.

"Green! Keep your promise and get caught. ”

"What if I decide to go back?"

"With me, you can't regret it."

At some point, Kasar rode out of the military formation with a cold expression.

In the direction of Xia Lan's front and back, left and right, people in black appeared.

Ambush on all sides, nowhere to escape. (To be continued.) )
