As one of the hubs of the Dablis region's foreign trade routes, Agra is bustling with business activity, which makes Egra a city of nightlife.

Even after nine o'clock in the evening, the city of Agra was still lit up, and the central trade road was full of pedestrians, and the vendors were still there desperately shouting and soliciting customers, and of course in some remote corners there were women in special occupations standing there to seduce the passing men.

All this made the guards who stood at the gates and on the city walls felt like cats scratching their hearts, and they were still blowing the cold wind here when others were gulping wine and blowing cowhides at each other, or when they carried the scantily clad women to their rooms.

The Darblis Mountains are located in the northwest of the Iris continent, in fact, the altitude is relatively high, and now when the Grofoda Empire in the center of the continent has entered spring, it is still in the cold winter.

In such a climate, they can see the nightlife scenes that stimulate them on the road not far away, and the soldiers of these guards have been unable to concentrate, and many of them even take advantage of the absence of their commander to hide in a corner to avoid the wind.

At this time, in a dark alley not far from the city gate, Charles was hiding in Gina and her few remaining mercenaries.

Although Alicia had never experienced such an action, she was extremely excited at this time, but at least this girl was not stupid, she followed her sister who walked in front of her without experience, and learned her every move, which made Artoria, who had been by Alicia's side because of Charles's orders, be a little impressed by her.

Charles and Gina had been carefully checking the city gates for movement, and after observing them for a while, they slowly withdrew into the alley without making a sound.

In the actions along the way, Ji Na was a little unable to see through Charles next to her, because Charles in the daytime, his speech and demeanor everywhere showed his good education and elegant style, originally thought that Charles was completely unfamiliar with the night operations and reconnaissance action essentials that are difficult for mercenaries like this to master, but at this time, looking at the other party's every move, Ji Na found that the other party seemed to be more skilled than herself.

However, Ji Na obviously knows that this is the other party's privacy, even if she is curious in her heart, Ji Na will not ask casually, not to mention that Charles has such a ability at this time, which will be more helpful to her actions tonight.

"Don't look at the guards at the city gate at this time as if they were letting their guard down, but I think it's completely fake." When Gina returned to the alley, her voice spoke very softly.

"Indeed, although those soldiers are relaxed and even lazy do not patrol." Charles touched his earlobe with his left hand, looked up at Ji Na beside him, suppressed his voice and spoke, "You have also noticed that in the dark corner near the city gate, there are more than a dozen hidden eyes that are always paying attention to the city gate. ”

"I naturally know that after I failed to invite people out, and after I was intercepted when I took people out, I tried to sneak out of the city at night, but you know, they all failed." Even though Jina's voice was very soft, everyone could hear the anger in her words.

"Well, so it seems that there is no hope for sneaking out of the city." Charles spoke calmly, and no one could hear the slightest hint of defeat in his words.

"Do you have any other way, Charles?" Ji Na saw that Charles's face was still so calm and indifferent, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was still hanging, which made Ji Na unable to guess Charles's psychology, so she unconsciously gave her last glimmer of hope to him.

Seeing that the original plan to sneak out of the city failed before it could be moved, everyone was naturally a little discouraged, but after hearing Ji Na's words, their eyes were focused on Charles.

Charles got up slowly, flicked his fingers lightly on the hem of his robe, and said softly with a smile on his face, "Naturally, since the original plan failed, we might as well try something else." ”

"What's the solution?" Ji Na asked in a very urgent tone, in fact, her heart became more and more urgent as time passed, and now there was no way, she was about to be pressed crazy by the pressure in her heart.

Until the appearance of Charles, Gina had tried everything, but with the intervention of the Stoke family, the biggest force in the place, she knew that she had no hope at all, and Charles was the last struggle in her heart.

"Just look at it, Miss Gina, since I promised to help you, I, Charles, will naturally do it." Charles's smile inexplicably made Gina feel slightly relieved in her heart and stopped talking.

Even though the night was dark, the soldiers near the city gate were too lazy to light torches, and the area was illuminated, except for the small streets and alleys not far away, everything around was completely watched by the soldiers.

So when Charles walked out of an alley without cover, the soldiers saw Charles at a glance, but Charles's action of not hiding made the soldiers slightly stunned.

"Stop somebody!" It took a while for the soldiers to react, and hurriedly picked up the weapons in their hands and shouted at Charles.

Charles didn't hear the soldiers' rebukes for him, and walked towards the city gate without changing his face.

Seeing that Charles did not respond to his shouts, those soldiers also understood that the person in front of them seemed to have bad intentions, but thinking of this, these soldiers showed a cold killing intent on their faces, and a cruel smile bloomed on their faces.

These soldiers are not rookies who have not seen blood, but the prestige of the Stoke family makes there are few bandits nearby, and even the mercenaries dare not easily cause trouble in the city, which makes them have little chance to kill, but they have endured it for a long time, but at this time, there is a stupid fork in front of them to give them a chance to make a move.

When they saw that Charles was still walking towards the city gate, they did not shout anything more, but put up the bow and arrow in their hand with a cruel smile on their faces, and with a slight narrowing of their eyes, one feather arrow after another pierced the night sky and shot at Charles like lightning.

But the next scene did not develop at all as they had imagined it in their minds, and before the feathered arrows could fall on Charles's body, they broke in half in the air as if they had hit something in the air.

At this moment, these soldiers knew that the other party dared to walk towards the city gate in front of them without hurrying, and they naturally had some skills in their hands.

However, the Stoke family naturally trained the soldiers guarding their main city without sparing, these soldiers just panicked in their hearts, and then recovered, a fierceness flashed in their eyes, some soldiers pulled the longbow in their hands again, and some soldiers threw away the bow in their hands and pulled out their weapons from their waists, ready to be ruthless to Charles, and at the same time the alarm bell began to ring near the city gate.

But the sharp-eyed soldier noticed that the man who walked towards the city gate still walked step by step with a very regular pace, and he didn't seem to notice their behavior, and there was still a smile on his face, so relaxed and casual.

His every move was so graceful that it was as if he were not going to the city gate, but was about to attend some aristocratic party.
