As time passed, the guards who had been holding the torches could no longer hold their arms, and the constant soreness from their arms made the torches in their hands shake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment when the firelight flickered, Joanna suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart, and the long sword in her hand slammed into her back without thinking.

"Ding!"

The sound of swords clashing against hard objects rang out in everyone's ears, and after fending off the sudden attack, Joanna immediately lunged into the clearing in front of her, and another strong wind happened to miss her by a fraction of a second.

"Everyone is ready to fight!"

After alerting the others, Joanna immediately twisted her long sword and swung it, and a black shadow was about to rush up, and under the threat of the sword wind, she nimbly dodged to the side, dodging Joanna's attack, but it also gave Joanna time to catch her breath and reorganize her movements.

There was more than one black shadow jumping out of the mountain forest, in addition to the obsidian leopard that had appeared before that attacked Joanna, there were five other obsidian leopards that attacked the rest of the guards at the same time.

Even with Joanna's reminder, several of the guards didn't have time to avoid the sudden attack, and several screams immediately rang out from the crowd, and several of the guards lay on the ground covering their wounds.

"Defensive formation, everyone assembles at once!" As soon as the attack occurred, Arnold immediately commanded his men to form a defensive formation, then raised his long sword flat in front of his chest, and stared nervously at the black shadows as he slowly retreated, covering the other guards to drag the injured guards into the crowd.

He was only relieved to be relieved until he had retreated into the crowd, and then immediately commanded the shield-wielding guards to stand in front of them, while the guards behind them tentatively took out their crossbows and shot at the monsters.

But this scattered rain of arrows did not have any effect on the obsidian leopard, not to mention that such a loose rain of arrows allowed these obsidian leopards to easily dodge past, and even if they did not dodge, the penetration of the light crossbow was still too weak to shoot through the obsidian leopard's completely stony skin.

Arnold sighed softly, after listening to his master say some of the characteristics of the obsidian leopard, he had some preparation in his heart, but after seeing that the crossbow really didn't work at all, he was still a little disappointed.

"Master, what should we do?" Putting away the disappointment in his heart, Arnold looked at the owner of the Chamber of Commerce beside him, in his previous explanation to the obsidian leopard, he knew that the owner of the Chamber of Commerce did not look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, but he was definitely a well-informed genius.

Of course, this is when Arnold doesn't know that Floya is a Northland witch, if he knows that the owner of the Chamber of Commerce next to him is a witch, he will not be so surprised, because these Northland witches have always been a symbol of mystery in the eyes of other people on the mainland, more mysterious than those high-ranking mages.

"Just prepare the guards for defense, these ordinary bows and crossbows can't penetrate the armor of the obsidian leopard."

After glancing at the caravan guard, Floya sighed softly in her heart, the strength of these people was too low to attach their strength to the crossbow, so the attacks they sent could not penetrate the obsidian leopard's skin defenses.

Floya shook her head slightly, and then looked at Joanna, who was slowly retreating from the obsidian leopard that was already eyeing her with a sword.

Whether or not she can survive depends on this girl.

A smile appeared on Floya's face, as a member of the legendary Northland witches who are descendants of the goddess of fate, Floya can naturally see through a little bit of fate, even if because of the arrival of the elemental tide, many prophecy spells have lost their effect, but their Northland witches do not rely on these spells, but the power flowing in the blood.

In this girl's body, she saw a strong force of fate, indicating that this girl who was only fifteen years old and came out alone would be a mission with enough influence on the mainland in her future destiny, and even a hero in the future catastrophe that even her grandmother could not see.

Floya, who has been exposed to the power of fate since she was a child, knew from her grandmother when she was a child that in the future on the Faisal continent, there will be a catastrophe that will sweep all the creatures of the continent, and with the advent of this catastrophe, all the prophecy spells have lost their effectiveness, and her grandmother also forcibly relied on the power of the goddess of fate flowing in her blood, so she barely saw some information about the catastrophe.

But even with her grandmother's powerful strength, at the cost of her lifespan, she could only see a trace of the future about her fate, and she could not peek into the future of the mainland, and she could only guess from the only information that everyone in the continent could not avoid this catastrophe.

Because of this, a large part of the Northland witches who have been living in their own cities on the northern ice fields have gone out to walk on the mainland, and Floya, who has studied with her grandmother since she was a child, also left her city this year and traveled to the mainland with a caravan belonging to their chamber of commerce.

It wasn't until a few days ago that she saw Joanna looking for the caravan at the gate of the city, and she saw in this girl that the power of fate was as strong as her own, and this was only when the catastrophe had not really come, and the long river of fate had not really been muddy.

"Miss Joanna, I don't know what you think?"

After Joanna retreated into the crowd, Floya walked up to her with Arnold and asked, she wanted to know some information about Joanna.

"Nope." Joanna looked at the few torches that had been wandering to the edge of the torch, and their huge bodies loomed in everyone's sight, constantly flickering between light and darkness.

The obsidian leopards were constantly walking and jumping around the guards who were forming a circle of swords, and it was obvious that they would not leave easily, either the caravan would die, or they would be crushed by a heavy blow.

It's a pity that in terms of the strength of the caravan, the latter is difficult to do, and in the former, the people of the caravan don't feel that they have lived long enough.

So Arnold was not surprised by Joanna's answer, he sighed and looked at the moon in the sky, it was not even midnight, and it was still far from dawn.

This made Arnold very anxious, because under the threat of a few obsidian leopards outside, the caravan guards could only keep their spirits tense, and if the spirit was tense for too long, there would always be a time to relax, and that was when they died. (To be continued.) )
