In the evening, the sunset shines on the mountains, and the glow tilts the mountains.

The sun sets, and the glow fades into the vastness of the mountains as twilight falls.

López followed Carmen to the top of the mountain he had just pointed to.

As Carmen said, the bandits were entrenched at the top of the mountain.

López crouched in the grass not far away and made a rough estimate.

There would have to be hundreds, to say the least, and there would be no chance of a forcible rescue.

Their defenses can be said to be impenetrable, and the hostages are tightly surrounded by them, and it seems unlikely that they will try to rescue the hostages while they are not paying attention.

There was no breakthrough, and things became quite difficult.

López carefully hid himself, and at the same time, closely watched the bandits below.

He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with these bandits, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and it was a strange feeling.

But now is not the time to think about that.

While López was worried, the bandits below suddenly moved, and most of the bandits left the top of the mountain, leaving only a small number to stay where they were to guard the hostages.

While López didn't know where they were going, it was clear that it was a good opportunity.

"If I'm not mistaken, they're going to plunder the town again. Carmen, who was silently crouching beside López, suddenly spoke.

"Admittedly, it's a good opportunity, isn't it?" said López, turning to look at Carmen, before turning back and continuing to observe the bandits below.

Carmen, of course, understood that the handle of the axe was in his hand, and he was ready and ready to go.

However, López suddenly reached out to stop Carmen.

He was much calmer than Carmen, after all, the hostages below actually had nothing to do with him.

It's not a good idea, but that's what it is.

"Let me see, there are less than half of them left, but there are only two of us, do you think there is a chance of victory? López said with a smile.

This brought Carmen back to her senses a little, and he opened his mouth and whispered, "What then?" ”

However, López did not answer him immediately, but pinched his chin and thought quietly.

He had to be careful, who would think he was living too long.

After a long time, López slowly drew out the long sword hanging from his waist: "I'll try my best to lure them away, you go to rescue the hostages, you must be fast, in fact, I can't hold out for long." ”

López can now be said to be in a relaxed outfit, and the massive weight of the black armor has been removed from his body, which makes him feel that his body is extremely flexible.

After observing for a long time, López finally seized what he thought was the most appropriate time, and he decisively pulled out the dagger at his waist and threw it directly at the gang.

The dagger sped forward, plunging straight into the head of one of the bandits.

Maybe the bandit would be interested in saying goodbye to the world one last time.

Then, López slid down from it with his sword.

He rushed into the bandits, like a sheep rushing into the wolves, the long sword in his hand kept slashing, and in an instant, there were several more corpses on the ground.

After doing so, López turned around and ran without looking back.

Running fast without hesitation.

As he expected, the bandits would not let him go easily.

However, all the bandits put down their work and chased him, which still surprised López a little at their unity.

Of course, complaining is complaining, but running away cannot stop at all.

And the bandits behind him are also quite professional and relentless, and they have no intention of letting López go.

Well, now he has to express his admiration for the bandits' persistence.

After a rough estimate of the time, López felt that it was enough for Carmen to lead the hostages to escape.

All he had to think about now was how to get rid of these damn guys.

Thankfully, after a month of training, his speed had improved considerably, otherwise he would have been hacked to death by now.

"Why can't you just go home and have that damn blueberry pie tasted? López complained helplessly, while constantly increasing the speed of his feet.

His breathing slowly became a little scrambled.

The sound of breaking the air came from behind him, and López secretly screamed badly, but the perennial hunting life made him react quickly, and his body rolled to the side.

Looking back, where he was standing just now, a short knife was plunged deep into the ground.

He hadn't paid much attention to it just now, but now, López suddenly felt that this weapon seemed to have been seen there.

He was a little confused, but the bandits were already approaching him.

He had to raise his sword to meet his enemies, the cold light of the blade reflecting into his eyes.

This made him suddenly realize that the blood stained on the sword's body was black.

"Monsters. López muttered.

Aren't the monsters being defeated, and why are Altes still there?

Leave aside the rest, what is their purpose? Just to loot the town?

He didn't believe it.

But no one would answer his doubts, and the monster wouldn't give him time to think.

They've pressed López.

But now, he is not so scared, after all, it is a monster, and that thing is much weaker than humans, and the only advantage is quantity.

With a grin, he carried his sword and rushed towards the group of monsters, quite with the momentum of riding a thousand.

He slaughtered frantically, and the monsters fell one by one, and he moved forward, and the monsters seemed to be completely oppressed by his momentum.

They began to flee in all directions, but López did not continue the pursuit.

There was some pain in his arm, which seemed to be injured, but fortunately, the wound was not large, so he didn't need to be in such a hurry.

He had to rush to join Carmen first, and the only reason he was motivated to do so was that Carmen hadn't paid the bounty yet.

He returned the way he came, looking for Carmen.

Finally, he finally saw Carmen and the hostages at the foot of the mountain.

"Thank you, valiant knight. Carmen bowed to López, expressing sincere gratitude.

However, the rescued hostages were somewhat indifferent, but it was understandable that they were so frightened.

But the unusually formal thank you made López laugh a little awkwardly, he may not be used to this kind of grand thanks: "Don't worry, it's a deal, isn't it, that's what you deserve." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, look at my brain. With that, Carmen raised her hand and patted her head, then pulled out a small bag from a patched bag she had with her.

It can be seen that Carmen is a little reluctant, but it is well hidden.

"That's the money we paid to fix the house, right? The little girl in Carmen's arms whispered in Carmen's ear.

"Oh, Milo, we'll have that much gold again soon, won't we?" said Carmen, rubbing Milo's head, "Don't worry, sooner or later we'll be living in a big house, Dad promises." ”

"Hmm. With that, Milo broke free of Carmen's embrace and ran towards López, then bowed to him as Carmen learned: "Thank you for saving me, Lo, Brother Lossis." ”

Parents are the best teachers for their children, it seems that this is true, López thought silently, and then half-squatted down and looked at Milo: "Well, do you mind calling me López? ”

López then took out fifty gold coins from his bag and stuffed the rest into the girl's tiny hand.

However, Milo directly retracted his hand: "No, no, this is Dad for Loppy, no, it's Brother Lopez, Milo can't ask for it." ”

This made the corners of López's mouth can't help but smile, and he rubbed the little girl's head: "Oh, well, what a cute little angel, can you smile for me." ”

After listening, Milo nodded decisively, then raised his face and showed a big smile at López.

"It's so beautiful, I hope you can show this heart-warming smile every day in the future. With that, López gave the gold coin to Milo again, then turned around and walked away.

After taking two steps, he raised his arm and waved his hand behind him: "Now, those gold coins are what you deserve, thank you for your angelic smile." ”

However, he did not notice that the mark of a snake surrounding the sword came to life in the reflection of the setting sun.
