Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beginning of the War
A young female guard is making a routine tour of the manor.
Suddenly, she sniffed. The smell of burnt paste was in the air. Illusion? Wrong......
She hurried over. Soon, she found the source of the smoke: a room in the corner that should have been locked. I don't know when the lock was broken. The female guard slammed open the door—
"It's on fire!" She yelled eagerly, "Water—uh......"
Her voice quickly lowered. A feathered arrow shot through her throat from behind. Her eyes widened, and her body slowly softened.
"Solve one." Not far away, a young woman dressed in a traveler's costume held a longbow and sneered. She was one of the "caravan members" that Lesec had brought with him.
At the same time, the same events are playing out everywhere in the manor.
……
"Let's begin, Eusta 'sir'. I hope you are satisfied with my 'greetings'. ”
Watching the billowing smoke rise from all directions of the manor, a strange smile appeared on Lesek's face. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: it was a magical item with a similar effect to the "Transfiguration Mask". The fifty men he brought with him, whether men, women, or old men, were carefully selected warriors, and Klesek's face was constantly changing, and one person created more chaos than all his subordinates combined.
I'm afraid that the arrogant half-elf mage didn't expect him to "attract attention" so much, Lesaik thought to himself. Even if you can't be the one to lead Ore Town to independence...... At least he didn't mind adding an extra handful of dirt to Old Man Eusta's grave, he thought.
It only takes a few minutes. Lesec and his fifty men caused a lot of noise in the manor. There were "fires" everywhere in the manor, and the tenants and servants had no time to put out the fires, so where was the time to pay attention to the Lesaick gang in the shadows? The guards were also scattered all over the place, and they were easily defeated one by one. They had no idea that this seemingly honest caravan would "conjure" weapons from the compartment of the cargo box.
------------------------------
"That's ......," the girl looked at in surprise at the smoke rising not far away.
"On fire?" Dimi also frowned, "No...... There was screaming...... There were also shouts of killing...... "He listened attentively.
"Someone set it on fire." The girl also understood.
Dimi hunched down and picked up a stone from the ground. It was a trick that his sister Linna worked, and now it was his turn.
"Victoria," he said calmly, "tilted her head." ”
Syllable!
The girl only felt the wind ringing in her ears. The stone in Dimi's hand shot like an arrow from a string towards the hedge not far away.
A terrible scream.
The girl glared at Dimi, took the hammer spear in her hand, and walked towards the hedge. Dimi, with a sword in hand, followed behind her. Hiding in the hedge was a tall and thin man with a mustache, and the stone that Dimi fired casually hit him in the head impartially, bleeding profusely, and he saw that he was not alive, and a crossbow fell to the ground.
"You screwed up." The girl gave Dimi a blank look.
“…… It's really messed up. Dimi was helpless. He originally wanted to break a few bones of this person to ask questions, but he didn't know that this person subconsciously dodged, and the stone hit his head.
The girl picked up the hapless man's crossbow, unloaded it, and kicked the bloodied stone aside: "Attack us in broad daylight. So, the manor was attacked? These...... What did the robbers do? ”
Just after deciding on the rescue plan, something happened to the manor, which made Dimi can't help but suspect that this attack was also part of the girl's plan. However, seeing the girl's ignorant eyes, he rejected the idea again.
"This territory is on a crusade against bandits," Dimi said, "and it's not surprising that they're preemptively attacking." Now we ......"
"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, an older guard walked towards where the two of them were.
……
Fifteen minutes later. Another part of the estate.
Captain Tomman was out of breath. He wanted to capture a captive, but the warrior woman's resistance was unusually stubborn, until her sword pierced the other's heart, and the young woman's eyes were still staring at him viciously.
This is already the third person he and "Bull's Eye" have killed along the way. Whether it is an old man or a woman, they can be entangled with them without fear of death.
"This group is also the best of the best," Captain Tomman couldn't help but muttered to himself, "This woman is from the merchant group just now—how did they bring their weapons in?" ”
"Knowingly," Bullseye muttered, "I was smuggled in those containers." ”
"What else do you want to beware of diverting the tiger from the mountain," Commander Tomman was helpless, "and it was so tricked." ”
"But you can't just run away," Bull's Eye glanced at Captain Tomman, "unless ......"
"I'm still trustworthy," Captain Tomman said with a look of "righteousness and awe-inspiring", "as long as I accept it, I will try my best to complete the task." ”
"Well said," Bull's Eye praised, but sarcastically speaking, "guarding an old warehouse until reinforcements arrive—what a difficult task, Tommen." ”
"Shut up." Tomman said gloomily. It seemed evident that the old guard who had given the order did not trust them, and had propped them up to the edge of the manor.
"There's a fight over there, too." "Bull's eye" suddenly changed his complexion slightly. He faintly heard the sound of fighting.
"Yes...... From the warehouse? Captain Tomman suddenly thought of something, and ran wildly in the direction of the warehouse.
……
Warehouse side.
"Drink!"
The hilt of the Sky Dome struck the last guard in the head. He fainted. The girl took out the rope from the miniature dimensional pouch she was carrying and tied up the unconscious guards one by one.
"I didn't expect so many troops to be gathered here," Dimi sighed, "Sure enough, this is the most important place in the manor." ”
When the girl and Dimi arrived at the warehouse, there were already five young and strong guards and seven mercenaries from outside. It can be said that the remaining elite soldiers of the manor have already gathered in the warehouse. The girl and Dimi were also sent to "guard" the warehouse, but the "teammates" never dreamed that the two would suddenly do something to them.
The matter has come to this point, and the two do not plan to continue to retain their strength. Xiaowei used "group hypnosis" to put down most of them, and then Dimi, who was holding the "Sky Dome", shot out and knocked out the two mercenaries and a guard who were barely awake.
In front of two powerful spellcasters, this level of guarding was nothing more than a joke.
"What are you waiting for, Dimi," the girl urged, dissatisfied with her poor knotting skills, "without further ado. My duty is to stand behind your back. Just move forward. ”
Behind the girl, Dimi's whole body was already full of light. A silver-white full-body armor decorated with delicate blue patterns gradually took shape on his body. Just as the girl holds the magic armor "Aurora", and the sisters Bina and Lina hold the magic armor "Valkyrie", Dimi also has her own magic armor. Unlike the armor inherited from the past by the other three, this divine armor "Clear Space" was specially made for Dimi by Prime Minister Fred after he became a secret warrior. In terms of its compatibility with Dimi himself, it is still above the girl's "Aurora".
This is the first time the girl has seen Dimi in armor.
"You're pretty good," the girl praised, "so—why don't you go quickly?" ”
"I went." Dimi said. He hurriedly turned around to prevent the girl from seeing his blushing face, and his figure quickly disappeared into the passage.
The girl threw aside the guards and stood at the door of the warehouse with a hammer spear in hand. She didn't take out the "Bright World" or put on the magic armor "Aurora", at least until the enemy caster appeared, she wanted to avoid the "no silver three hundred taels here" provocation. Rao is so, the alarm barrier that Xiaowei has set up around her is now completely taken over by her. No close enemy can escape her detection.
Suddenly, the girl showed a surprised expression.
"It's you." She muttered to herself. In the distance, Captain Tomman and the "bull's eye" appeared in her sight.
