Chapter 13: Arrested
In the dark night, accompanied by the torrential rain, a team of people and horses were quietly going out of the city through the side gate.
"My lord, the elites of the Shadows and the Executive Board have been assembled, and the Knights and Wizards will then set off from the Imperial City." A subordinate was reporting to a man who had lowered the brim of his hat, and the man was none other than King Herme.
Hermo nodded and asked, "Is that old fox still at its destination?" ”
"According to the news from the shadows, it is like this." The subordinate replied.
"Everybody check their gear, we'll have a tough fight in a minute." Hermo commanded.
Everyone checked it neatly, neatly and capably, giving people the feeling of an elite division.
In a few moments, the group was deep in the forest.
A few fires loomed ahead, and occasionally a few patrolling guards could be seen, behind them was a hidden cave.
Hermo motioned with his hand to let a few people in the shadows kill the patrol, and several men in black immediately disappeared into the darkness.
"Ugh!" The guard's mouth was gagged, and a small knife cut appeared on his throat, and he was slowly lowered to the ground.
"Let's go, watch out." With a wave of his hand, Hermo hunched his waist and led the group closer to the cave.
The interior of the cave was bright in the light of the torches, and everyone slowed down and didn't make a sound.
"You go and tell the Wizards to block them all around, and then let the Knights rush in." Hermo whispered to his subordinates behind him.
The subordinate received the order, quietly exited the cave and summoned a bat, tied a note to the bat's foot to pass the news on.
At this time, in the Voled Manor, the old man and Orsa seemed to be discussing something.
After a while, the old man nodded and said, "You also go and help Herme, I'm afraid he won't be able to cope with it alone." ”
Orsa was wearing a white shirt on the upper half of her body, and a pair of suspenders on her lower body looked handsome, and when she turned around and put on a small suit, she was much more energetic.
"Not to mention, the clothes made from the blueprints that Liviel sent me are really good. Okay, I'm going to help. Orsa looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but smile.
In the cave, Hermo still led the crowd slowly.
"My lord, there's a small group of people in front of you, do you need to kill them?" A man who is good at seeking enemies asked.
Hermo nodded, and several figures flashed out, and the sound of people falling to the ground was heard in an instant.
One of the fallen guards pressed the ring in his hand as he took his last breath, and a wave of magic was transmitted.
Hermo immediately sensed it, and secretly said that it was not good, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Someone has issued an early warning signal, rush me!" Be sure to hold off the arrival of support. ”
The sound of armor clashing sounded, followed by a dense stream of magical attacks towards Herme.
"Damn it!" Hermo said, then pushed her hand forward, and the ring in her hand released a barrier that barely resisted.
The people behind him quickly launched a counterattack, and blood stains flew in the air, but fortunately, the people in Hermer's belt were all extremely brave, and their skills were extraordinary and they were able to cope with it for a while.
In the scuffle, a secret door was opened, and two gorgeously dressed men, one fat and one thin, walked out, looking at Hermo and the others who were fighting, and the fat man said nervously: "It's over, it's over." What should I do now! ”
"Don't worry, we won't abandon you, since that's all the time, let Hermo stay here forever." Another man who looked very close to the monkey comforted him.
"Since there is no place for me to go back, then listen to you." The man said with a fierce look at Hermo who was fighting.
Hermo also seemed to feel something, looked at the man and said angrily: "Luo Nanan! As the Minister of National Defense, why do you want to collude with enemy countries! ”
"Oh, don't you know? Don't you think I'm old and unmotivated, aren't you going to dismiss me? The fat man known as Luo Nanan said with a sneer.
"Don't think I don't know what you've done, burning, killing and looting you've done a lot. Is this what you should do as a minister? Hermo said angrily, and then swung the long sword in his hand and rushed straight towards Luo Nanan.
"Hehe, King Zareth is my honored guest, and it's not good for you to do this." The man on the side dodged in front of Luo Nanan, and instantly drew his knife with both hands and slashed at Herme.
The crisp sound of "bang" swords colliding sounded.
With a flash of swords, the two separated instantly.
Hermo took three steps back, and the monkey-faced man took five steps back.
"King Zereth deserves to be called the man of the sword, and he is willing to bow down." The monkey-faced man said as he looked at the long sword that already had a crack in his hand.
"Hmph, you should be the captain monkey in the Blood Demon Team." At the moment of the fight, Hermo saw a red monkey head tattoo on the man's hand.
"The king is really observant, in that case, I can't keep you!" The man threw his sword away, revealing a metallic sheen above his fingers, and grabbed Hermer with one claw.
Hermo dodged to the left, a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and a strand of hair was cut off.
Hermer slashed with a sword, and the monkey quickly withdrew his hand to block the attack.
Ten fingers and the long sword wanted to collide with sparks and sparks flew around, and the two exchanged dozens of moves in an instant, and waves of qi spread from the center of the collision to all directions, blowing away all the people nearby.
While the two were in full swing, Luo Nanan on the side was quietly leaning against the wall, pressing a loose stone very secretly.
The monkey seemed to know what Lo Nanan was doing, and the monkey shook Hermer away with a slap, and then leaped backwards and threw a small black ball.
The ball exploded, and a thick cloud of smoke flooded the entire passage, and Hermo swung his sword and set off a gust of wind to blow away all the smoke, but the monkey and Lo Nanan were gone.
Suddenly, a sense of danger flashed through Herme's mind, and he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone be on guard!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hermer heard the sound of water flowing, and in a few moments he saw a raging flood rushing in from the entrance to the cave.
"Damn, I'll find a way to block the flood ahead, and the rest of me will follow me to see if there is any other passage." Hermo commanded the rest of the crowd in a loud voice.
A thick earthen wall quickly rose and sealed the entire cavern, leading the rest of the people around to find a way out.
At this time, Luo Nanan and the monkey were hiding in a bush, watching the many magicians outside trying their best to rescue the people inside, the monkey said disdainfully: "It's up to them, and when they go in, it is estimated that the people inside are almost dead." ”
Luo Nanan also smiled and said, "Brother, thank you this time." ”
"No, let's go back and tell our master that King Zareth is dead, and we will support you on the throne from now on. Then you will be the ruler, and no one will dare to disobey your wishes. The monkey looked at Luo Nanan, who was addicted to fantasy, and said slowly.
At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two of them.
"Yo, good evening for the two of you, it's a good night tonight for the two of you to go on the road." It was Orsa who came in a hurry.
The monkey turned around in an instant, grabbed Orsa with one palm, and directly crushed Orsa, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
"Are you in such a hurry? Let me introduce myself, in Lower Ryk Orsa, Herme's older brother. Orsa reappeared on the branch above the two of them and said slowly.
"Hmph, die!" The monkey shouted, and rushed forward like lightning.
But Luo Nanan said with a frightened face: "Don't go! He's Orsa, the Demon King! ”
"Yikes! Isn't this Defense Minister Lo South Africa? Have you been kidnapped by this orc? Orsa said, pointing to the monkey that rushed up.
The monkey approached, his fingers grabbing Orsa's neck with a cold light.
Orsa stretched out his hand and tapped it, but the monkey was directly bounced away.
The monkey was surprised at first, then coldly threw the black ball again, but Orsa didn't give him a chance, and came to him in an instant.
Orsa put his hands in his pockets and slapped his leg directly on the monkey's stomach and said with a smile: "I said that tonight is very suitable for the two of you to go on the road. ”
"Bang!" The monkey was like a kite with a broken string, and the whole person flew backwards quickly, breaking an unknown number of trees along the way, and stopped for a while, but a strong suction force sucked him over.
Orsa grabbed the monkey's throat and said slowly, "I'm kinder, so I'll spare your lives." ”
After saying that, Orsa stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, only to see a blue circle appear on the top of the cave and quickly disintegrate.
Hermo and the others walked out wet after a while, looking rather embarrassed.
Orsa threw the two of them in front of Hermo one by one, looked at Hermo and yawned and said, "It's just these two, I'll leave it to you now, I'll go back to sleep first after I finish my task, I'll be trapped to death." ”
Hermo looked at the unconscious monkey on the ground, and the corners of his mouth rose and said with a grim face: "Brother, thank you this time, now we have evidence to accuse the Combine Army against Franklaw." ”
"Well, if you want me to help, just tell me directly, and I'll go back." With that, Orsa yawned and walked out of the forest.
"Why didn't the Knights come?" Hermo looked outside and asked in confusion as only the mages looked outside.
"Lord Hui, the news just came that the Knights had been ambushed, but fortunately, there are not many people who are rushing here with all their might." A magician said, handing over the note in his hand.
"Hmph, it's quite well arranged, let me take them away." Hermo snorted coldly, and then led the people out of the forest.
At Houghton Academy, Liviel dreams that she is buried in sand, and the weight of the sand weighs her down.
"Ahh Ahh
Immediately lifted the quilt, and sure enough, I saw Eliza sleeping on her pillow.
"You... Get up for me! Liviel punched and shouted.
"Ahh Don't fight, don't fight, it hurts! I... I was wrong! "Don't be alarmed by the birds sleeping outside the window late at night.
