On the battlefield under the moonlight, Arowen and Marika looked at the red-haired man in the center of the two with unkind faces, their eyes were as sharp as knives, making the atmosphere of the scene extremely solemn, and the battle situation was about to break out.

Being treated with a hostile attitude, Sigmund did not care, but greeted Marika who was standing directly behind him with some calm and leisure.

"Yo, long time no see, Marika." A smile on his face was like meeting an acquaintance, "To be able to meet again here, life is really full of accidents." ”

"Sigmund, why are you here?" Marika confronted him directly.

"Why? That's a strange question. Sigmund scratched his head as if in distress, "I'm a mercenary, so naturally I run wherever I have a mission." It's you, I haven't seen any news for so long, I almost thought you were dead, it turned out that you came to the imperial capital to develop...... Really, you can tell me about this kind of thing. ”

"I don't know you that well, it's none of your business where I'm going, there's no need to inform you." Marika said coldly.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your cold personality is still the same as before." Sigmund smiled and said, "Well, don't be so unkind, I just want to show my concern for the daughter of my old friend." ”

When Marika heard this, she was silent as if she were ignorant, and she raised the tip of her sword slightly and aimed it at Sigmund, without any intention of replying.

Sigmund refers to Marika's parents, the three of them are close in age, I heard that they have known each other since they were young and mixed in the mercenary world, and they can be regarded as "old friends" for more than ten years.

But the term "old friend" is somewhat inaccurate, at least in Marika's memory, whenever her parents mentioned Sigmund, there was never any happy look on their faces, more of a frustration and helplessness entangled by troublesome characters.

Therefore, Marika believes that this so-called "old friend" should only be a relationship unilaterally recognized by Sigmund.

Hearing Sigmund's familiar tone, Arowen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Marika, do you know this guy?" ”

Marika nodded and replied, "It's someone who has worked with me in mercenary missions before, be careful, he's very strong." ”

Although Sigmund did not have a good reputation in the Empire, he was also one of the most powerful mercenaries in the entire Western Kingdom, and his transcendent status was almost untouchable in that region.

He has completed S-class missions alone more than once, and this kind of task usually requires more than a dozen well-equipped mercenaries to dare to challenge, which shows that his courage is superhuman and his strength is exquisite.

As he gradually became famous, insiders began to call him the "Red War Ghost" to express their awe for him.

Marika was also a member of the Western mercenaries, she was able to make a name for herself in the mercenary world at a young age, and naturally she also had the strength recognized by the vast majority of people, and the nickname "Scarlet" was born under such circumstances.

But even so, there is still a big gap between her and an old lone mercenary like Sigmund.

Even in the past few years since she came to the Empire, her strength has made great progress, but if she uses Sigmund as her opponent, she still does not dare to win easily.

As long as they have seen the madness of this man wreaking havoc on the battlefield, there is no one who is not a little frightened of him.

Hearing Marika say this, Arovin's heart suddenly sank.

Marika is the kind of person who has one thing and two things to say, and since the word "very" was deliberately added, then Sigmund must be ridiculously strong, and the fact that Seleuc was almost killed just shows this.

At worst, this man's strength may even be above his own.

Although I don't want to admit it, I'm only better than Marika, and if I really want to fight, there is a lot of chance of being killed, so naturally I don't deserve the evaluation of "very strong".

After coming to such a conclusion, Arowen couldn't help but become more and more jealous of Sigmund, and then there was a scorching war intent surging in his heart.

For the strong, except for Javier, who has crossed the line seriously, Arowen is very eager to fight with the other party.

On the other hand, hearing Marika's recognition of his strength, Sigmund laughed very heartily, and his rough and wild voice carried obvious pleasant emotions.

"Hahaha, don't praise me so much, I'm just a little older."

After laughing, he sighed again and turned his head to look at Marika: "When you are your age, I don't have the strength of you, as long as you are given enough time, you will surpass me one day......

There was a bit of unwillingness and loneliness in his tone, he gave up a lot of important things in order to gain strength, and then looked at those who were gifted, but they could easily reach and surpass the realm that they had fought for all their lives.

It has to be said that all human beings are inherently unequal, and this gap is insurmountable, even enough to make any person with a firm heart despair and hatred, and go to the road of depravity.

"I'm not interested in hearing you express your feelings here." Arowen looked at Sigmund coldly, "I'm not interested in who you are, I just know that you are standing in front of us with a weapon now, since you have the courage, then you should also have the corresponding awareness of what will happen next, right?" ”

In the end, he raised the eight-foot black, and the blade of Sen Leng's sword pointed straight at Sigmund: "The guy who hurt my lovely junior, don't think I'll simply let you go!" ”

Outside the battle circle, Sai Leu looked at Arowen who planned to stand up for her in a daze, and suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.

Although she always looks lazy and annoyed on weekdays, at the critical moment, she coaxes out the attitude that her predecessors should have, so that she has a feeling that she is particularly cared for and cared for, and bursts of warmth flow from the bottom of her heart.

Sigmund looked straight into Arrowen's eyes, and that same kind of quality made him a little interested in the young man in front of him, so he asked with interest, "Oh, what do you want to do?" ”

Arowen sneered: "I want your life!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already flown a series of afterimages on the ground, rushing towards Sigmund, the eight-foot black sword blade was cold and cold, stabbing a beautiful straight line in the moonlight, and the terrifying killing machine was terrifying.

Seeing this hand, Sigmund's eyes couldn't help but burst with essence, and infinite battle intent instantly emerged.

With a flick of his side, he let Arowen's straight sword fall into the air, and then he picked up the giant battle axe in his hand, and with a hideous smile on his face, he was about to launch a fierce counterattack.

At this moment, a black mist suddenly appeared around Arowen's body, and then his entire body disappeared under Sigmund's nose.

- The emperor has the ability of an eight-foot black, unlimited stealth!

"...... this!?"

Sigmund's movements stopped suddenly, and his two thick eyebrows immediately furrowed.

He had heard rumors about the emperor in this country, and he himself had fought against the emperor several times because of his rich mercenary experience, and he had some experience in combat.

But this is the first time he has encountered such an ability as stealth, and he can't find a way to deal with it for a while, so he can only cheer up and stay vigilant, while pricking up his ears, hoping to hear some wind and grass.

Then, a dark wind came from behind him.
