Because Chuzhong knew the times, the chrysanthemum was preserved, and the team walked quickly in joy.

Balk Town, a border town at the junction of the Principality of Blade and the Magnificent Empire, belongs to the Magnificent Empire in terms of administrative division, and walks along the West Gate, about 10 kilometers away, is the border.

The border here is deep in a dense forest, and there are no wild beasts in the place called the Blade Forest, but there are many NPC guards between the two countries, defending the integrity of their respective territories.

Simon, an ordinary human thief-turned-Simon? Paxson was a thief in the green forest in his early years, leading his brothers to raid homes and houses, and taking advantage of the chaos after the Second Heavenly Demon War, he took advantage of the situation to rise up and establish his own principality. Since most of his brothers were thieves and marksmen, he defined the duchy as a large assassination group that received orders for murder. Because they often perform the tasks provided to them by their employers, more and more nobles trust them and are willing to cooperate with them. And, Simon? Paxson's subordinates are never picky eaters, and they dare to accept tasks that do not violate the scope of the Iron Law of the Blade. It is precisely because of the existence of "The Iron Law of the Blade" that the two opposing forces, the Scarlet Empire and the Magnificent Empire, are helpless against them.

There are four articles in the "Iron Law of the Blade", and the specific contents are as follows:

1. As the assassin of the Principality of the Blade, he shall not accept orders to assassinate his own nationals;

2. It is not allowed to accept orders to assassinate officials of the Scarlet Empire and the Magnificent Empire located in the control plane, let alone accept the task of killing the leaders and generals of the two ** regiments when the two countries are at war;

3. Accept only the task of assassinating the ordinary forces in the two countries, and only accept the task of resolving personal grievances and hatred.

4. In case of failure of the task, double the commission will be refunded.

……

From the iron law of "Blade", Simon? In his early years, Paxson was very afraid of the strength of the two major forces, so he positioned himself as a neutral force. But with Simon? Paxson's ambition has swelled, and he has begun to slowly expand his authority and begin to trample on the rules he has specified.

This time, Jiang Chen gave the order in danger, just to give Simon? Paxson taught him a lesson that he knew that it was completely unscientific to be so arrogant.

Today, after Nadia's re-dialing, he is even more convinced that Zeng Xiaochun is actually working for Simon? Paxson served, and the reason why he attacked Jiang Chen again and again was most likely for his own better survival and development in the game.

And that space for survival and development is likely to be a place for a hidden profession.

This kind of temptation is resisted by ordinary people, even if it is Jiang Chen, he will think about it for a long time.

……

At half past nine in the morning, the group of people had entered the Blade Forest, and the name of this forest was so harmonious because it was divided into two by the two major forces, Magnificent and Blade, with the east side of the forest belonging to the Magnificent Empire and the west side belonging to the Blade Principality.

The forest is not large, but the vegetation is very dense, and more than 60% of the forest is covered by low bushes.

Just as they were about to step into the forest, a large group of NPCs with red names on their heads suddenly popped out of the bushes in front of and behind them!

After Jiang Chen saw it, he was surprised.

Most of these NPCs are guys wearing black robes and looking lewd. "High Scout of the Principality of Blades" is their name.

The attributes of these NPCs are not visible at all, and their names are red and black, which shows that the level of these guys is too much higher than them.

None of Jiang Chen's comrades-in-arms were rookies, and when they saw this, they all knew that a vicious battle was inevitable, so they clenched their weapons one by one and glared at each other angrily.

Jiang Chen bit his lips and sent a message from the group, "I'm here to delay them, you guys are ready to go back to the city!" These guys are too different from our level to beat! ”

Chu Zhongtian said, "I'll delay them with you, and I'll carry it to the death, do you see that leader?" After a while, I will give him a handful with my brother. ”

Don't look at the little calf who is carrying this little calf very yd on weekdays, but at this moment it looks righteous and awe-inspiring, "Well, boss, don't worry, I will never let my brothers and sisters hang up!" ”

Mi Lan didn't have a good breath and said, "Jiang Chen, what kind of person do you think of me, if you don't leave, I won't leave, isn't it a big deal to hang level 1, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of." ”

Jiang Chen sighed, "Stinky girl, you are hot-blooded again, the most taboo thing in these years is too hot-blooded...... I'm the captain now, listen to me, you all go, I'll attract them, I'm as light as a swallow, at least I can distract them for a few seconds, and when the time comes, I'll just find a way to escape. ”

"But ......"

Seeing Mi Lan so earnest, Jiang Chen's heart was hot, "Let's go, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

The next moment, Jiang Chen clenched the Sen Lan Blade, and suddenly pointed towards the sky, saying, "Look, there are planes!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to pull up the onions on dry land, but this group of sharp-bladed NPCs with red names had already pulled out their best daggers from their waists one by one and rushed towards the 10-person team!

"Mary's next door, this group of animals is not particular!" Dead and scolded.

Li Sheng did not show weakness, drew his sword and rushed over with Chen Qian and other fighters, and used his position to protect several law systems and auxiliaries!

However, at this moment of lightning, something unbelievable happened.

A blue light and shadow rushed towards this group of scouts of the Blade Principality at a dizzying speed, only to hear the sound of sharp weapons tearing through the flesh and skin, constantly echoing in the ears of Jiang Chen and the others!

This light and shadow quickly shuttled back and forth in the camp of this group of scouts, and when he galloped in front of Jiang Chen and the others, the group of scouts stood in place one by one in a daze, and straight wounds appeared on their necks.

Blood splattered out along the wounds of this group of people, and for a while, this area became a blood-colored fountain.

The next moment, an unbelievable astronomical number appeared above their heads, and they all hung up.

Spikes, all of them are spikes, and this person actually killed more than 20 high-level NPCs in just 5 seconds!

As soon as these people died, another NPC team soon appeared in the jungle, and this group of NPCs were also wearing black night suits, and quickly dragged away the corpses one by one.

Jiang Chen saw the green font on the top of the head of this NPC who helped out, and couldn't help but smile, "My own people!" ”

This NPC is very tall, more than 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy build, he is wearing a black night suit, his face is wrapped in black cloth, and only a pair of red eyes are revealed.

When he walked in front of Jiang Chen, a line of eye-catching small words appeared on the top of his head-

"Shadow Ranger? Phoenix"

This person is the fifth of the Seven Sages, who is called the Assassin Grandmaster by the Magnificent Empire.

Phoenix showed a hint of a smile and said, "Young man, you and your team are doing very well, and it is indeed commendable not to show a trace of cowardice in front of a strong enemy." ”

Jiang Chen also smiled in return, "I really didn't expect that at the most critical moment, the Fire Phoenix still made a move." ”

"Uh, you know my nickname."

"That's what Teacher Nadia told me."

Phoenix was even happier, "Yes, it seems that Teacher Nadia already trusts you very much, okay, please come with me, and I will take you to your testing ground." ”

From this moment on, Jiang Chen learned about Nadia and Neo? Jessica's good intentions, on the one hand, they are trying to test whether they are really loyal and reliable to themselves; On the other hand, I also want to train them by raising soldiers in battle. Otherwise, Phoenix alone could have leveled the "proving ground" in what he called it, so why let them do it.

……

As they walked deeper into the jungle, Phoenix said, "These guys from the Principality of Blades have been getting more and more unscrupulous lately, and I can't imagine that they would dare to cross the border to kill people, which was unimaginable five years ago. ”

Jiang Chen said, "No way, who let in the recent days, there are many brave people who were born in the territory of the Scarlet Empire, all defect to the Magnificent Empire, the pressure of the Scarlet is great, and they will naturally join forces with the blade, which is not good for the Magnificent Empire, and moreover, the lord of the Scarlet Empire should have given Simon?" What promises Paxson, that's why he's so fearless. ”

"You're right," Phoenix said, "no wonder Teacher Nadia and Her Majesty the Queen trust you so much, you are a wise man with a bright future." ”

As they spoke, they had come to a jungle area with even more dense vegetation.

Phoenix stopped abruptly, took a few steps forward, and then crouched down, put his hands behind a low bush, and pulled hard.

I only saw a stone slab with a diameter of about one square meter being pulled open by him, revealing layers of stairs inside.

"Brave men, go down from here, keep walking, walk about 200 meters, it is the underground base of the blade, and it is also your testing ground, I wish you good luck and can successfully complete the task."

At this time, Li Jing's belly darkened once, "Handsome guy, do you want to accompany us?" ”

Phoenix smiled slightly, "I'm not going, I'm going outside to protect your safety, and don't let those dangerous Rank Scouts go in and hurt you." ”

Li Jing pursed her lips, "Cut, no righteousness." ”

Jiang Chen grabbed her neck angrily, "Let's go, brothers!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he had already dragged Li Jing into the stairs. The crowd followed suit, and the fish rushed in.

This dark passage is not dim, there are oil lamps lit on both sides of the dark passage, and there is a light ahead, and it can be seen that the NPCs of the Blade Principality who do things in black do not actually like the dark.

Li Jing slapped Jiang Chen's hand away at this time, and pinched his neck in turn, "I hate it, Xiao Zhengtai, why didn't you let me say it just now." ”

Jiang Chen smiled leisurely, "If he didn't want to help us, we would have been in the hands of those NPCs just now." Besides, with him sentry outside, we can kill the little soldiers inside with peace of mind. ”

Li Jing still had doubts, "But Xiao Zhengtai, will the NPCs we are about to face be very strong, just like those just now, all the names with red names are black?" ”

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said firmly, "This is absolutely impossible. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

(Whew, 30 more broke out, and today's daily update still starts at 6 o'clock.) ）
