Chapter Fifty-Six: Friend or Foe?
So, are you looking for Sophia just to give you a banner for your great cause of restoration?
Yes, Leonard replied that in order to find Princess Sophia, we have worked hard over the years, and we have found several surviving children in Serre Village, including Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, a total of five people, who were taken to the Wizard's Country, the Snowy Federation, and not only that, but we also found the names of the other four children, including you, Joica
So you've been staring at me for a long time, Joyka tapped her cheeks with a questioning expression, but I have a question, there are many people called 'Joyka' in the land of Olopa, how can you be sure that I am the Joyka from the village of Serre, I remember never saying where I came from
That's because you're too drunk and lustful, remember that night in the town of Carloguel, when you were drunk and screaming while holding a few prostitutes in that filthy tavern, and we were there to stay there, but you could hear clearly, you were the Joey Carreonard from the village of Serre, and said with a cold snort and disdain
Damn it...... Joyka patted his forehead with his hand in embarrassment, he was in a bad mood that night, and he just wanted to find a place to vent, but he didn't expect to bring himself trouble
I really can't imagine that you still have such a hobby, and Memphik, who was standing next to him, also looked at Joeyka in surprise, although he is also addicted to gambling, but there is one thing he is different from Joika, and Memphik is not lustful, because his mother was originally a Fengyue woman, and she was bullied by others, so Memphik was very disgusted with all Fengyue places and the men who came and went there looking for flowers and willows
Memphik: It's a very complicated question, and Joyka said, "You're a man, too, you should know."
Memphik simply didn't speak, from the perspective of a normal man, he seemed to understand Joyka's behavior, but from his mother's point of view, he couldn't accept it, so Memphik chose to be silent at this time
Well, I'm not here to listen to the two of you discuss these inconsequential matters, Leonard said, I just want to know if you're ready to take me to Her Royal Highness now
How do you know I'm with Her Royal Highness the Princess
Quite simply, I checked the hotels you stayed in in the towns of Kaloguer and Ensogui, and you checked in under your own name and that of a woman named 'Sophia', so I wondered if it would be too coincidental that you and Princess Sophia were taken away twelve years ago, so it would be not strange to stay together now
The analysis is very good, you are right, the woman who stayed with me is what you are looking for, Princess Sophia, Joyka nodded, and affirmed Leonard's statement
It turned out that Sophia, who was with us, was indeed a princess, no wonder I felt a noble temperament in her, and even the Gamboki people worked hard for her, and Memphik next to her sighed
Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess is one of our banners, Leonard proudly said that you have been with her for so many days, and you don't know her identity
So...... Joyka said
Therefore, I now welcome Her Royal Highness back to the camp of our Returnees
Then turn Sophia into your puppet, and then use her influence to start a civil war in the kingdom, dragging the people who are now finally living and working in peace into the depths of the war, Joyka said coldly
What do you mean by this, Leonard's eyes narrowed into a straight line, you are also a Pole, and your family was killed during the invasion of foreign enemies, don't you want to return to your homeland?
Joyka waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with me whether the country is restored or not, I just want to tell you that now Sophia and I and several other companions have a very important thing to do, and you have to wait until we finish our business
Don't come with me, I don't believe that for Her Royal Highness the Princess, there is anything more important than recovering your own country, Leonard's tone sounded obviously a little anxious
Do you know what Sophia thinks, that's just wishful thinking, Joyka said
So you insist on refusing to take me to meet Her Royal Highness the princess, Leonard has obviously lost his patience
Why do I have to listen to you, and I clearly feel the hostility of the other party, and Joyka no longer needs to be polite
Since you are not friends, you are enemies, you two already know the secrets of our Avengers and the Lion Mercenary Group, since you refuse to join us, then let us defend the secrets in the most direct way, Leonard slowly drew his sword, as if it were you, he pointed to Joyka, let Her Royal Highness stay with someone of extremely bad character like you, and we will worry about one more day anyway, your savings will not affect our search for Her Royal Highness, he is right, as long as you go to all the hotels in Shangri-La and check out, as long as you know which hotel Joyka is staying in, you can find Sophia anywhere
Can I understand it as a threat, I'm sorry, my favorite thing is to be threatened, and the more I threaten, the more I threatened, the more vigorously I said, Joyka pulled her long sword from her waist
Wait, Memphik stopped the imminent battle between Joyka and Leonard, this person seems not easy, it might as well be me to fight this battle first
Hearing Memphik's words, Joyka withdrew her sword into its scabbard in agreement
Be careful, I'm coming, Memphik immediately drew his sword and rushed towards Leonard
Leonard raised his sword in response, and in the dead of night, there was a clear metal clash in the deserted streets, and the battle was now more intense, though smaller, than the group fight half an hour earlier
Your swordsmanship is pretty good, but it's a pity that I met Leonard, who blocked Monfic's sword and slashed at Memphik's head with a sword
I don't need you to evaluate my swordsmanship, and then I only heard a bang, and the two swords struck a few sparks, and Memphil only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and Leonard's arm strength was beyond his expectations—it was a skill that had been cultivated over many years of fighting
After this blow, Leonard did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he quickly jumped back and widened the distance between him and Memphik, who looked at him in bewilderment, why do you want us to do this, did you flee from your own family, isn't it because you are ashamed of your father and grandfather's betrayal of your country, Leonard said to Memphik
Don't be presumptuous, although I left my family, but the reason is not as you think, Monfic gasped and said that the battle just now only lasted ten minutes, but it already made him sweat profusely, it seems that this Leonard Green is not an idle person
Is that so, it's a pity, I'm going to make you one of us, so let's say Leonard stabbed Memphik with a sharp sword on his side
The two fought together again, but this time Leonard's sword speed was faster and more powerful, and Mefik bravely met it, but after more than a dozen rounds of attacks between the two sides, Memphik was suppressed by the opponent's momentum, and Memphik was already beginning to show fatigue, and his offensive gradually decreased, and slowly became mainly defensive, not that he didn't want to attack, but Leonard's sword was too fast, and Memphik only had the power to parry and had no ability to fight back
If he continues like this, he will definitely lose, Joika, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, thought
He then took the longbow from his back, pulled an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and aimed it at Leonard, who was in the midst of the fight
Whoosh - Leonard, who had been in a hundred battles, immediately judged from the sound that an arrow was sneaking up from behind, and he quickly shook Memphik away with his sword, and at the same time, his figure flashed to the side, only to see the arrow grazing his knight's armor, changing the direction of his advance, and a quarter of it was submerged in the mud wall of a private house
Fearing that she might accidentally injure her companion in the fight, Joyka's arrow only used half the force, otherwise the power would have been even greater
Despicable Leonard scolded, in the duel between the knight and others, he actually secretly attacked you, do you still know what chivalry is
I'm not a knight, so I don't bother to care about your chivalry, Joyka said contemptuously, and then swooped an arrow over, this time because his enemy was far away from Memphik, so Joyka didn't have any scruples, and used all her strength as soon as she came up
Leonard was taken aback, he obviously felt that the power of this arrow was stronger than the previous one, and he didn't dare to block it at the moment, and flashed sideways, the arrow grazed the armor on his belly, making Leonard break out in a cold sweat
How can you use the bow skills that have never been passed down by the elves, Leonard asked, he has been in contact with the elves of the forest for a while, and he has naturally seen the bow skills of the elves, and Joica's bow skills are inherited from the half-elves Tis, and Leonard recognized them at a glance
If 2000 years ago, 6,000 elven archers captured the capital of the Misura Empire, 100 years ago, the Kingdom of Pole repelled thousands of Fayale armies with 100 elven archers, these two major cases are only historical records compared to short-lived humans, then in the Gobi Plain of Shamania, Leonard Green has really experienced the horror of elven technology, he can never forget that morning, Leonard Green, who was still the leader of the team, and his team were surrounded by an overwhelming orc army on a small hill, he was already desperate, and was about to commit suicide when the reinforcements of the elf tribe suddenly arrived accurately, The ferocious arrows instantly scrapped the war leaders of several orcs, so that the powerful orc army was leaderless, and Leonard Green was able to lead his subordinates to break through and pick up a life, so he was unforgettable for the power of the elven bow skills, but the black and thin young man in front of him was an out-and-out human being, how did he learn the bow skills of the elves, that was indeed a great question for Leonard
Do I need to tell you, Joyka didn't bother to answer his question, and with great speed, she took out an arrow and shot it at Leonard
This time, Leonard, who had already been defended, stepped back to avoid the attack of the arrows, but Joika was unforgiving, he took out several arrows from the quiver, and launched a continuous burst of fire at Leonard, who was avoided by him and retreated again and again, just in the battle between Leonard and Memphik, Jojka had already seen Leonard's swordsmanship, and Joika knew that even if he was absolutely invincible to Leonard's sword, only by fighting at a distance could he defeat this enemy
Joyka fired eight arrows in succession, each of which pushed Leonard Green back four to five meters, and in this way, the distance between this dangerous enemy and them was greatly widened, and Leonard's advantage in swordsmanship was completely canceled out by the distance, and the two sides once again returned to an equal starting point
However, Joyka admired Leonard's physical ability, wearing a heavy armor, and still reacting so fast, if it were someone else, she would have been shot into a hedgehog a long time ago
At this time, Leonard was already out of range of the longbow, and he did not dare to rush forward, but turned around and suddenly rushed into a side alley
Did you escape, what else did you say chivalry actually escaped from the battle, and Memphik mocked
Don't be careless, Joyka reminds me that I sense he's not the one to simply throw in the towel
Sure enough, as soon as Joyka finished saying this, she felt danger coming from behind, and Leonard Green suddenly pounced from an alley behind the two of them, swinging his sword and slashing at Joyka
Humans are different from other races, they don't have any talent, so a strong human warrior not only needs excellent combat skills and excellent courage, but also learns to make the most of the things around him, such as terrain, Leonard is to use the complex terrain of the city's streets and alleys to eliminate the advantage of Joica's long-range attack
Despite Joyka's mental preparation, Leonard's running speed was so fast, who would have thought that in just a few seconds, he was already walking through the alley beyond the vision of Joyka and Monfic, and behind the two of them
Seeing that Leonard's sword was already slashed in front of him, Joika didn't have time to draw her sword to defend it.......
