When the [Impale Spear] pierced the shield wall in front of it, the shield was wrapped in metal on the outside and solid wood on the inside.

Rumble!

It's like several grenades exploding at the same time.

The fragments of the shield flew into the interior of the shield wall under the effect of the huge impact of the [Piercing Spear].

Flesh and blood flying, screams one after another.

The seemingly impregnable shield wall collapsed in an instant.

And Qin Ran's charge did not stop, the huge rhinoceros phantom wrapped his footsteps and crushed the stumps and broken arms of the enemies around him, and the illusory body, with the flesh and blood of the enemy, drew a deep blood color on the ground, and rushed straight into the woods.

After knocking down three or four big trees in a row, Qin Ran stopped as the time for [Savage Collision] was up.

Oh!

The giant rhinoceros phantom howled again.

Then, just as it appeared, it suddenly disappeared.

"Let's go!"

Without the blessing of the wild power, Qin Ran turned around and shouted at Lawlessness.

At the same time, the footsteps do not stop, deep into the woods.

Lawlessness followed with a wild run.

In the forest, the two people who met exchanged a look, and immediately ran in the direction of the patrol forest according to the plan they had made before.

When the members of the Knights of the Wind chased into the woods, the figures of the two had already disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"Stop!"

One of the captains of the Order raised his hand to prevent his men from entering the woods, and he glanced at the corpses on the ground behind him and his badly wounded men, anger on his face.

However, the other party under the anger did not lose his mind.

The other party knew that once they entered the woods, they would become lambs to the slaughter after losing their numerical superiority and attack superiority.

You know, the number of trees is enough to stop the shooting of crossbow arrows and the agility of war horses.

So, they have to activate the backup plan.

Sou!

Syllable!

An arrow flew into the sky, and then burst open.

Even in the sunlight, the red fireworks are clearly visible.

Immediately after, several falcons soared into the air.

……

Signal?

Qin Ran, who was running, looked back.

At a glance, I saw red fireworks in the sky.

The next few falcons were not missed, and they were all looked at by Qin Ran.

"The Knights of the 'Tempest' still have reinforcements?"

"They are already one of the three armed forces of Grand Duke Merck, what will their reinforcements be?"

The bad premonition once again appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

This will be followed by a hint of the completion of the side quest [Chaser] and a hint of a new side quest.

【Pursuer (Completed)】

[Killed 21 members of the Knights of the 'Tempest' who were pursuing, judged 'excellent', and their evaluation increased]

……

The side quest [Chaser] was completed and judged to be excellent, which was not unexpected by Qin Ran.

As the person who launched the [Savage Charge], the battle information record that appeared on the retina, Qin Ran knew the power of the [Savage Charge].

[Savage Rush. Piercing: If the opponent's defense level does not reach the strong level, you will deal 500 damage to the opponent, and determine that the opponent has equipment defense, and the armor piercing level of the weapon you use is higher than the equipment defense, resulting in an armor-piercing effect, which actually causes the opponent 500 health damage and a fragmentation effect......]

[Shattered. Splash: You deal 400 damage to the opponent, determine that the opponent has equipment defense, what damage is actually inflicted, and the opponent dies ......]

[Shattered. Splash: You deal 400 damage to the opponent, determine that the opponent has equipment defense, what damage is actually inflicted, and the opponent dies ......]

……

[Weapon: Piercing spear damaged, quality degraded]

……

The prompts for killing the members of the 'Tempest' Knights are refreshed one by one.

Undoubtedly, for enemies whose defense level has not reached the first level of strength, [Savage Charge] is completely deadly, especially after matching some weapons and equipment.

However, the decline in the quality of the [Piercing Spear] in his hand made Qin Ran frown.

Originally, the quality of the [Piercing Spear] was 'magic'.

This quality has not changed, except for the addition of a 'damaged' suffix after 'magic'.

What does this mean, for Qin Ran, who has gradually left the ranks of rookies, it is completely clear at a glance.

Most of the normal equipment is divided into four levels: normal (normal), damaged, dilapidated, and junk.

Unused or well-maintained has two grades: Excellent, New (Excellent).

Whether it is magic equipment or rare equipment, it follows these six levels.

When it is well maintained and does not affect its use, it will only be displayed as 'Magic' or 'Rare' in the equipment column, and when the equipment is damaged, the three suffixes of damaged, broken, and garbage will appear.

Especially when the last suffix 'garbage' appears, this piece of equipment is really almost like garbage.

"Borrowing weapons and equipment increases the power of [Savage Charge], but this weapon and equipment will bear some of the reaction force?"

Qin Ran secretly guessed.

This speculation made Qin Ran's frowning brows wrinkle together.

Because, the [Piercing Spear] itself is a magical equipment that is higher than ordinary equipment, if a magical equipment withstands a [Savage Impact], its quality will decrease, then if it is replaced with ordinary equipment, I am afraid it only takes one time to be classified as garbage.

However, even if he knew this, Qin Ran would not give up such an approach.

Using [Savage Charge] is even for that powerful, or even higher-level attack power.

Even if there was a hidden backlash and endangered his life, Qin Ran did not give up.

How can you feel sorry for one or two pieces of equipment.

Of course, this category of equipment certainly does not include equipment at the rare level and above the rare.

After glancing at the [Piercing Spear] again and calculating the price of the lawless supply that needed to be replenished, Qin Ran's eyes looked at the new side quest.

【Discovery Side Quest: Block】

[Blocking: After escaping the pursuit of the 'Tempest' Knights, you are targeted by the 'reinforcements' who came later because of the wanton killing, you need to escape the pursuit of the other party or kill the other party, and completely show your strength to the Merck Principality!] 】

……

"Sure enough!"

The new side quest [Blocking] confirmed Qin Ran's previous bad premonition.

Because of the wanton killing, he was targeted by the 'reinforcements' who came later! ’

This introduction is enough to show that the 'reinforcements' are more powerful than the entire 'Tempest' Knights.

The reason why it is a character, not a team or a legion, is because the Knights of the 'Tempest' themselves are one of the three major armed forces under the command of Grand Duke Merck.

Except for the 'Gift' squad, it should be the strongest.

If the 'Gift' team was still complete, Qin Ran would definitely guess that the 'reinforcements' were the Gift team, but in the rebellion in the castle, the captains of the 'Gift' team were all killed, and the remaining members of the 'Gift' team were also in danger in Qin Ran's opinion.

So, it can't be the 'Boon' squad.

Once the 'Gift' team is removed, it is still regarded as the overall team of 'reinforcements' by the 'Tempest' Knights, as far as Qin Ran knows, there will be no more.

Therefore, only one person remains.

It just so happened that in the Merck principality, there was a figure comparable to the 'Wind' Knights, and it was nearby.

Stegner!

Grand Duke Merck's swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship teacher of the three sons of the Grand Duke of Merck.

And has the title of the first swordsmanship in the Principality of Merck, the strongest general under the command of the Grand Duke of Merck.

Of course, Qin Ran was still used to calling each other "Mask Man".

and the second son of the Grand Duke Merck who single-handedly planned the castle rebellion.

"Stegner?"

Qin Ran chanted the name, and his gaze stayed on 'Or kill the other party and completely show your strength to the Merck Principality!' This is a hint.

Obviously, as long as Stegner is killed, the Duchy of Merck will most likely abandon the pursuit of him.

But this is completely impossible in Qin Ran's opinion.

According to Hans's description, when Stegner incarnated as a masked man, in order to hide his fighting style, he only exerted less than half of his strength at most.

But this half of the strength made Qin Ran tremble.

If you fight against an opponent who is using all their strength......

Qin Ran was completely unwilling to face such a party.

Because, no matter how he thinks or plans, he can't escape the result of being stabbed.

This made Qin Ran feel powerless from the bottom of his heart.

However, Qin Ran would not give up.

Qin Ran, who had experienced despair, did not give up, not to mention some feelings of powerlessness.

He pondered a solution.

Then, he came to a sharp stop.

"No way!"

"I can't continue in the direction of the Pilgrimage Forest!"

"My intention to leave the Duchy of Merck is so obvious that as long as the other party is not blind, he can see it!"

"If you catch up with me when the time comes, it will really be impossible to escape death!"

Although Qin Ran, who has a peerless level [stealth], is naturally an expert when it comes to hiding and hiding, this does not mean that Qin Ran is not afraid of searching.

Especially the back and forth search of the brigade of people and horses, it is still easy to expose the hidden things.

And Qin Ran was sure that Stegna would not track him alone, but must have brought a large group of men.

All it takes is for those subordinates to find out his traces and the other party to make another move.

It's a no-brainer for the other party.

Qin Ran stopped in place.

The brain is racing.

Then, an extremely risky idea appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

"Go back the way you came!"

"Stegner, who received the signal, will definitely come in the direction of the Patrol Forest, then, if I go back the same way, I will pass by the other party!"

"The other party would never have thought that I would return to the castle of Grand Duke Merck."

"Even if something is wrong, it should be two or three days later."

"This is enough time for me to heal my wounds and leave the Duchy of Merck on another route!"

Qin Ran pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth fiercely.

He turned and ran in the direction he had come.
